He forgot to use haki?

After a while, they reached the Sandora River. "Now, how do we cross this river?" asked Usopp. Everyone seemed to remember something and looked towards Gohan. "Hm? Don't worry!" said Gohan with a smile after noticing that.

He got in front of the boys and said, "Put down those crates." They put down the crates. "Don't forget to use your Haki," said Gohan, while everyone got confused. Then he grabbed Zoro and Sanji's shoulders.

Sanji started to have a bad feeling. "Wait... You!!! Bastard!!!!!!!" shouted Sanji as he and Zoro got thrown to the other side. Everyone except Luffy started trembling. "Okay! It's our turn now, Usopp," said Luffy.

"Gohan... Let's think about it. I think I can swim to the other side," said Usopp while trembling. "Nah! That would be a waste of time," said Gohan. He grabbed Luffy and Usopp and threw them to the other side of the river. "I'll die!!!!.." "Yahoo!!!!" they shouted in the air.

Gohan then looked towards the girls. They started backing away. "Don't worry! I am not going to throw you guys. Vivi, let's go. I'll take you and Chopper to the other side," said Gohan. "Gohan, do you think those four will be alright?" asked Chopper in worry.

"Don't worry! Nothing will happen to them," assured Gohan. He picked up Vivi and looked towards Nami and Robin. "You girls wait here; I'll be right back," he said. "How are you planning to go to the other side?" asked Robin in confusion.

Gohan smiled and started levitating. "Like this," he said and flew away. Robin's eyes widened in shock. "He can fly?!!" she said. "Yes, he can," said Nami. "But there's no report of him being able to fly," said Robin.

"I think he doesn't want the Marines to know. If the Marines know about it, it will increase our threat level. Maybe he doesn't want us to face too many unnecessary troubles," said Nami. This reminded Robin of the Admirals. "But it doesn't look like he fears anyone," said Robin.

"It's not about him; he can take care of those troubles himself. But if he does that, then it would feel like he is babysitting us. And none of us want that. He himself doesn't want that. That's why he is helping us in becoming strong, so that we can fight our own battles," said Nami with a smile.

"But will he help you guys if you can't defeat your enemies, right?" asked Robin. "That's difficult to answer. Because he seems like a person who will let us die, then he will bury us in a beautiful grave and visit our graves so that he can mock us for being weak," said Nami with an awkward smile.

Robin also smiled after hearing that. Just then, Gohan came back to pick them up. He took them to the other side, where everyone else was already waiting for them. Just as he landed, Sanji ran towards him. "You bastard! My head is full of sand because of you," he shouted.

Zoro also joined in. "Just let me cut you once," he said while taking out his swords. "You even threw Usopp! That idiot forgot to use Haki in fear. He is lucky that there's so much sand here," said Sanji in anger.

Gohan looked towards Usopp, who was still trembling. "So he forgot to use Haki!" He said with a calm voice. The expressions on the faces of Zoro, Sanji, and Usopp changed after hearing him. "No! Sanji misunderstood. I used Haki; look, I am not injured at all," said Usopp in a panic.

Gohan grabbed Usopp's shoulders and said, "I am sorry, Usopp! It's all my fault. I should have trained you more strictly. But don't worry, from now on, I am going to train you ten times harder," he said with a serious face.

Usopp slumped down on the ground in despair. Sanji looked at Usopp awkwardly but didn't approach him in fear of being implicated. "You see, that's Gohan. If something had happened to Usopp because of that fall, it would have been Usopp's fault. Because Gohan has made us strong enough to be unscathed from that kind of fall," said Nami to Robin.

"I am already regretting the decision of joining you guys," said Robin with a nervous expression. Gohan went back to get the crates. After he came back, they continued their journey towards Alubarna.

It was already morning when they reached Alubarna. Pell, the commander of the Royal guards, was waiting for them. "Pell!" shouted Vivi. "Princess! It's good to see that you are safe. His Majesty is waiting for your arrival," Pell said.

He looked towards the Straw Hats and bowed. "Thank you for saving our country," he said. "You don't have to thank us. It's our friend's country after all, and she's going to throw us a big party," said Gohan while walking ahead.

"Yes! It's time for the party. I want meat! Lots of meat," said Luffy. "And booze," said Zoro. Pell raised his head and looked towards Vivi in confusion. Vivi smiled awkwardly at him, and Pell sighed and said, "Certainly, please follow me. Your meals have been prepared," he said.

As they were walking, Vivi asked, "Did you guys take care of spies?" "Yes, thanks to your information, everything went smoothly," said Pell. After a while, they reached the Palace. King Kobra himself welcomed them. "Father!" Vivi ran towards him, and they hugged with tears in their eyes.

King Kobra then looked towards them and said, "Thank you for saving our country. We will forever be grateful for that. Even though we are not in good condition right now, if you need anything from us, please do tell," said King Kobra sincerely.

Gohan smiled and said, "Actually, one of our crewmates does have a request for you," said Gohan and looked towards Robin. She stepped forward and said, "I want to study that Poneglyph that the Royal family has hidden," said Robin.

King Kobra's eyes widened in shock, while Vivi was confused. "Poneglyph. Why do you want to study it?" He asked defensively. "Don't worry! She is an archaeologist; she just wants to study it," Gohan assured.

Kobra sighed and said, "Ok! I'll take you there after the meal." "Yes! You can see that pony thing after eating. Let's go eat," said Luffy with a grin. After that, they get to eat some royal cuisine. Gohan and Luffy were devouring the food.

After eating, everyone went to rest while King Kobra took Robin to see the Poneglyph. Gohan had nothing to do, so he tagged

along as well. Kobra brought them to the tombs of the Royal family and took them to the secret passage that leads to the secret chamber.

In the middle of the chamber, there was a big cubic stone. Gohan walked closer to it and touched the stone. 'Hm, is it a stone or some kind of metal?' he thought.

Robin started studying the Poneglyph, while Gohan looked around for anything interesting. After a while, Robin was done. "Did you find what you were looking for?" asked Kobra. Robin shook her head in disappointment.

Gohan looked towards her and said, "I know you want to find out about the Void Century. But do you really think it will be that easy to find out about that?" said Gohan. Robin turned sharply towards him and asked, "How did you know that?"

"An old man in Loguetown told me about it, but he didn't tell me what happened at the Void Century," said Gohan. He smiled and said, "He told me that there are many Poneglyphs in the world. All we have to do is find them. I am also curious about what the World Government is trying so hard to hide."

Robin was shocked. "What does that old man look like?" She asked. "Hm? He looked like an old man," replied Gohan. Robin was not impressed by his reply. "Anyways, I don't know anything about that old man. So it's no use asking me about him," he said.

"So I have to find those Poneglyphs?" asked Robin. "No! We have to find them because they are going to lead us to One Piece as well," replied Gohan with a smile.
