...

"wake up" a voice can be heard from her ears but her body feels heavy she feels like something has hit her in the head

"mera wake up" Mera's mind becomes clearer after Aiden repeats calling her to wake up

Mera opened her eyes and saw she was now in a ship room she was unfamiliar with and Aiden who she just admitted to be a crew member was sitting next to her

Mera tries to get up but her headache intensifies the moment she tries to get up and the injuries all over her body also become clear to her

"you are badly injured you should rest " Aiden said this with a little guilt since he was the one who woke her up

"you were sleeping for hours now I was worried that's why I woke you up," Aiden said explaining himself

"oh you are....captain...where are we" Mera was confused right now and the first Mera remembered after seeing Aiden was that she agreed to be his crew mate so he is now her captain

Mera has a lot of questions in her mind like why is she on a ship, and what happened on the island but she does not have the energy to ask them all she can squeeze out is 'Where are we '

"We are on my ship I have taken all the things on your ship and some from the pirate's ship" Aiden answers Mera's question

"well I don't know how to cook so all I can prepare is this fruit salad for you " Aiden said and presented the fruit salad to Mera

[fruit salad made out of 100time enchanted fruit has low-level healing effect]

"thanks" Mera said weakly and took the fruit salad from Aiden's hand

"What kind of fruits have you used in this" Mera asked curiously because A single bit of fruit salad and Mera felt her headache vanish and her body feel more relaxed

"Forget about that how did you lose consciousness do you remember anything" Aiden narrowed his eyes and changed the topic to the one he wanted to know the most

"the last thing I remember is you killed the guy with an eye patch and after that, I suddenly lost consciousness...wait have you eaten devil fruit" Mera remembered and asked

she remembered that Aiden killed that guy with a spear of sand that normally not possible the only way this is possible is through the power of the devilfruit

"...you can say that," Aiden thinks for a while and answers Mera while thinking 'so she didn't even see anything that good'

'but what if she sees and knows everything what will I do kill her? No, I have to get myself together ' Aiden thinks in his mind

[Ding godly body triggered adaptive evolution 3%]

Aiden looks at his system and thinks 'It will take some time before the godly body can adapt to the demon heart it better to not activate it before that'

'what was I thinking I could put all the blame for what happened on Demon Heart but in the end what I did as completely sober was nothing praiseworthy either 'Aiden Heart was filled with complex emotion right now

"Mera do you know a place where one can train themselves" Aiden wonders and asks Mera

'yes I need to train I can't rely on actual fight-for-combat experience if my demon heart activates before my godly body adapts to it that will be a disaster Aiden thinks

"I do know a place but why do you want to know this" Mera asked curiously

"simple I want to train" Aiden said

" 'You' want to train...why?" mera asked Aiden shocked because in her eyes Aiden is a monster in terms of strength

Meanwhile, in the office of a local marine post a captain rank marine listening to a report

"Are you serious" he can't believe what he just heard he can't believe something like this could happen
