CHAPTER-25: JOURNEY CONTINUED

#Grand Line:

Navy HQ, Marineford: In the head-offfice,

Sengoku: So..did you get any information about the whereabouts of the God Hunter Pirates?"

Aokiji: "No...Three months ago, they were seen leaving Jaya island and soon disappeared after that. And there are no news about them till now."

Akainu: "tch! I hope that they are dead. Those bastards caused too much trouble to us."

Kizaru: "Thats strange, those freaks shouldn't be dead. They are very strong and should be planning something....its scary"

Garp: "Hahaha...they have disappeared, isn't that good for us! At least they won't cause any more troubles..."

Sengoku: "Hmm...their sudden disappearance is what makes me uneasy. I have a bad feeling about this."

Aokiji: "Well, we will have to wait and see."

Sengoku: "Well, thats the only way ..as for their new reward, lets not publish it for a while and see the situation"

...

Soon, two and a half years passed and during this time there was no news about God Hunter Pirates. Its like they didn't even exist. Even some peoples have already forgotten about them.

Now, it would be about nearly 5 years since Ian started his journey.

Calm Belt, in Rasukaina island, on the coast..

A figure soon came out from inside the forest, he has long yellow hair tied on his back, his face looked mature and has slightly muscular body..

Ian: "Hey...so you are the first one and you look taller, Sabo.."

Sabo: "Hehe, of course. Who do think I am?"

"Tch! I was a little late..huh! Its all your fault, Bepo"

"I'm sorry"

Voices sounded from the forest and two figures, one a big white bear and a teen with a white- spotted wool cap came out.

"Ara...so you guys also came out.."

"Ahh..Ian-sama, I've missed you"

"Hehe, we are also back, Captain!"

Soon, several people came out from the forest, they were Albedo, Robin, Reiju and Koala. They met with each other when returning back. Now, Reiju and Koala starts to become big girls.

Later, after 2 days, Augur and Laffitte also came out. And the crews of God Hunter Pirates were complete.

And, during the two and half years, some of the major events were:

Donquixote Doflamingo became the Warlord of the Sea(Shichibukai), after capturing ships holding Heavenly Tributes for the World Nobles 'Tenryubito'

and blackmailing the World Government for the position. He soon settled in Dressrosa after he framed the previous King Riku and becoming the new king.

Queen Otohime of Mermaid Island was assassinated, which caused an uproar on Fish-Man Island.

A meeting was held at Mary Geoise with the World Counsil and the Dragon and his Revolutionary Army were soon spread around the World.

....

On God Hunter Pirate side, after two and a half years of training at harse climate, the crew members were at another level.

Sabo was turning 16, but looked like 18-19 years old. While training he has already mastered Haki cultivation except Haoshuku Haki as it cannot be obtained by training and is mainly based on lineage. His fruit ability has also been mastered.

Albedo and others have also mastered Haki cultivation, 'as you know in New World most of the big pirates used Haki' and their fruit ability.

While roaming the island, the crew members also found two devil fruits,

" [Size-size fruit: Paramecium type]

User can adjust the size of elements when touched. Larger elements need larger amount of energy. Other abilities unknown.

Last user seen : 70 years ago "

"[Temperature-temperature fruit: Paramecium type]

User can change the temperature of certain range at their will. Others ability unknown.

Last user seen: 90 years ago "

Ian: "Well! both the fruits are rare and quite strong. Since, in our group , only Koala and Reiju didn't eat devil fruit. So, you can eat if you like after thinking carefully. Lets leave it like that."

"Well, everyone have done a hard work. So, lets party tonight. And tomorrow, we will leave this island."

"Understood, Captain!"

Then, the black pearl emerged out from the sea along with JaberWocky. Well don't underestimate JaberWocky, he has always been beaten to a pulp by Ian most of the time inorder to reduce the pain and increase durability. I don't know what Ian was thinking. Now his skin should've become numb and can't feel pain from attacks weaker than Ian.

That night, the whole crew enjoyed the party and after some time, all went to rest. Except Ian and Albedo who was currently having their joy of their life. After long hours of enjoying, both hugged each other and started telling each other's stories about the two years.

Albedo: "Ufufu...so Ian-sama, so that Hancock, when are you going to let me meet her?"

Ian: "Don't worry, after leaving tomorrow, we will visit her before continuing our journey.

Also, I need to ask for your help to heal the scars on their backs."

Albedo: "Of course, I will be happy to help her, after all she's for Ian-sama..*giggle*"

"Well, you really are my most precious woman."

"I will also follow Ian-sama till the end...unngg...Ian-sama, I want to do it again.."

"Hehe, ok my lovely princess.."

*kiss* "Ahh...love me, Ian-sama...."

Soon, the room was filled with love sounds again...

Next morning, the God Hunter Pirates soon left Rasukaina island and started sailed towards Amazon Lily to meet Hancock before leaving.

During the two years, Ian visited Amazon Lily few more times to meet Hancock and others. His relationship between them has improved greatly. And, Hancock has completely fallen in love with Ian. Now, she would do anything for Ian and happily agreed to any of Ian's request. Its like the Hancock in the original series.

After some days, Ian's group reached Amazon Lily. Their ship was allowed to enter the island as Ian is their special guest and a friend of their princess.

Watching the cheering and curiously looking at Ian's crew members made them shudder...

Law: "Ughh...what's with these women, they are looking at us like aliens."

Bepo: "Its really scary..No, I will stay in the ship"

Robin: "Well, it is indeed full of women."

Augur: "Aren't this a man forbidden place?"

Ian: " Our's a special case.."

Soon, they docked and Ian, Albedo, Robin, Koala and Reiju landed while the others decided to stay in their ship. But as soon as they landed, a female warrior rushed towards Ian in a hurry,

"Ian-sama, its great that you came, our Princess has become sick soon after you left last time"

Ian: "Eh! How did she became sick, do you know anything?"

"Well, I heard its a serious disease occured to the Empresses affected by an unknown virus.."

'What! Isn't that Love Sickness!'

"Well, she must have misunderstood last time when I said I was leaving...Well let's go and see.."

Then,Ian and Albedo came inside Hancock's room and saw Hancock struggling in the bed breathing heavily..it looks very serious. Then, Ian walked towards the bed and sat beside her..

Ian: "Hancock, what happen to you? Are you okay?."

Hearing Ian's voice, Hancock recovered instantly and got up from the bed happily..

Hancock: "Ah! Ian..So you came. I-i thought y-you were leaving."

Ian: " Well, I'm leaving..but its not forever, I will come back to meet you many times.."

" Well, ok.." Then, she felt depressed again. Seeing Hancock's reaction Ian shook his head..

'Huh..this will take a while. I have to say this 'Love Sickness' disease is very dangerous'

Ian: " Well, I have got a present for you...Albedo!"

Then, Albedo came over touch Hancock's body lightly and Hancock's body felt a warm energy.

Hancock: "This! What did you do to me?"

Ian: "Don't worry, Hancock, now I have removed the mark on your back and you are free from those nightmares."

"Eh! Really, Ian..are you telling the truth"

"Well, why don't you see for yourself."

Then, Hancock took off her clothes not caring about Ian's presence and looked at her back in the mirror. What she saw was her smooth slender back and the claw mark was nowhere to be seen, its like it was never there before.

"Haha..its true, its really true..the cursed mark is really gone!"

"Nee-sama! your mark is really gone!" Both Marigold and Sandersonia were dumbfounded. They have been trying various methods but the marks couldn't be removed so they had to hide them instead. But now it was cured easily!?.

Then, Hancock looked at Ian, eyes became misty. Soon she plunged into Ian , hugged him tightly pressing her naked mountains on Ian's chest and started crying..

"*sob* Thank you, Ian..Thank you very much*sob*"

"Its okay, don't worry anymore." Ian comforted her.

Watching the pair, Albedo decided to give them some space so she left with the two sisters to another room to heal their scars. Both sisters also understood what Albedo meant, so they all left the room leaving Ian and Hancock alone in the room.

After crying for a while, Hancock recovered..

"Hehe..cried enough?Now are you happy?"

Hancock noded her head..

"ung..I'm very happy, .....Ian" She looked at Ian sweetly.

Soon, their eyes met and looked at each other for a while. The space was getting hotter, their face started attracting each other getting closer...they could feel the hot breadth...then their lips joined together and kissed.

"Uhhh...Ian...I love you.."

"Well, I love you too, Hancock.."

*kiss*

They started kissing hardly, tongues twirling with each other, Hancock's eyes became blurred...her body becoming hot.

After long time, the lips parted hanging a string of saliva. Hancock's body suddenly became weak and fell on Ian's broad chest. Ian hugged her lightly.

Hancock: "Ian, are you really going?"

"Well...sorry, Hancock.I want to take you away but now's not the right time. If you joined me now, this island might fall in danger..So, after I got stronger, I will claim it as one of my territory. At that time, I will take you away and lets see who dares to touch this place. Also, you won't wait long, I promise I will take you away soon."

Hancock: "Fine..I understand. I will wait for you all the time..but you must not forget to visit me."

Ian: "Thank you, Hancock. I promise."

"Ok its a promise..lets stay for a while.."

The two people stayed holding each other for a while and parted when the others called them.

.....

Soon, it was time for the departure. Ian and his party bade farewell and started sailing soon left the island.

As for Hancock's sickness, it recovered as she finally expressed her feelings to Ian. But, its not fully healed as it can be cured only when she leave the island and go with her lover. She sometimes can't eat and sleep worrying about Ian's condition, she sometimes collapsed when her heart started beating faster..but she managed to hold it off and wait for Ian's promise.

.....

Somewhere in the Calm Belt, black pearl is pulled by JaberWocky and moving forward. On the deck,

"Hehe, we will finally move away from the Calm Belt and continue our journey..."

Sabo: "Hehe....we are back! To rule the Sea.."

"To rule the Sea..."

"Yeahh..to rule the sea.."

After disappearing from the sea for two and a half years....The God Hunter Pirates finally returned and continued on their journey.

What future will this pirate group brings , no one can tell....
