I didn"t expect that all 3 would challenge me. Now I feel bad but hopefully they have learned something from it. I have to at least protect the crew until they wake up. Since Sanji didn"t wake up I made the meals. I knew how Sanji cooked, sure I didn"t have his level of skill but he made food mostly for the nutritional value. I did the same. 2 days pa.s.sed by and the 3 finally woke up.
Luffy: SANJI! I"M HUNGRY!!
Sanji: I heard you, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d. Huh? What"s this? Who made this?
Nami: Sage did. He also watched over us while you guys were knocked out.
Robin: He is quite knowledgeable in many things.
Franky: He also has a weird power that lets him manipulate wood, so I was able to better grasp where the Sunny-go needs repairs or if there is a problem. We even reinforced the Sunny-go.
Chopper: He also helped with the herb and medicinal plants.
Usopp: Luffy, Sage is a ninja warrior!
Luffy: NANI?! Ninja. Hey Sage show me some jutsu, nin nin.
Zoro: Oh. No wonder he was so fast.
Luffy: Hey, Usopp, where is he?
Usopp: Oh, he is in the sea looking for food. Apparently he held back on eating because our supplies wouldn"t handle it. He is hunting sea kings.
Brooks: Sage-san caught 3 already. They are tied on the back of the ship. Sanji-san, he asked if you can help scale and cook them.
Sanji: He did us the favor of getting them, might as well gut and scale them. Huh?! Luffy, Sage is right here.
Nami: That"s not Sage. He said that it was a Kagebunshin. He left it here to guard us while he went hunting.
Luffy: Oh, a clone. Interesting!
Usopp: Isn"t it.
Zoro: Oy Luffy, something huge is rising from the sea.
Everything my clone listened to I heard it as well considering I left Mokuton seeds to hear if there was trouble, which I highly doubt. They are finally up but in order to get my energy back I need to eat my fill for a few days. The supplies they have on the ship is limited and with Luffy on board and now me, the food will be gone swiftly. I searched for sea kings as they have the most to eat because of their size. To pay them back I also saw a sunken ship with treasure in it so I also brought it back. I reached the surface and started to walk on the surface of the sea towards the Sunny-go with another sea king and the sunken ship in both hands. The moment I reached the ship the surprised looks they gave me said it all.
Sage: Hey guys, I see that you are finally up. Here"s another sea king and for the beautiful ladies I have a sunken ship.
Nami: Oh Beli Beli Beli. (Money signs in her eyes)
Sanji: Thank you for cooking for the crew. I tasted some of the leftovers and you do know your way around the kitchen. If you want I can give you pointers.
Sage: I would really appreciate it.
Luffy: Hey Sage, show me some ninja moves.
Sage: So Usopp told you. Fine. I don"t use my techniques to put on shows I use them to kill so if you can receive the technique I will show you, deal?
Zoro: Luffy
Luffy: I know, I"m not gonna underestimate him, but if I can"t take it back me up. Ok Sage I"m ready!
Sage: Ok. Suiton: Suiryudan no Jutsu (Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique).
I made a giant water dragon and fired it at Luffy. I just hope he can take it, not to mention with the sea as a source the water attack will be strong. Zoro is there so he should be fine.
Luffy: Gomu gomu no Gigant Pistol. Zoro a little help.
Zoro: Santouryu: Hyakuhachi Pound Ho (3 Sword style: 108 Pound Phoenix Cannon)
The both of them together were able to disperse the technique. I jumped back on the ship and looked at the exhausted Luffy and Zoro. I dispersed my clone and went to check on them if they were ok.
Sage: So how was the ninja technique guys?
Luffy: (Panting) I thought that (Panting) ninja techniques were mostly illusions, smoke and mirrors. (Panting)
Zoro: I"m sorry for doubting it too (Panting). Can you use more than one element?
Sage: I can, but if you guys are having this much trouble with just water I doubt you can take the other elements. In Luffy"s case he can take any lightening I guess.
Luffy: Incredible.
Sage: Where are you heading to anyway?
Nami: We are reaching the halfway mark but for some reason the log pose is slanting down and the closer we get the more it faces downward.
I knew it. At this point in time in this universe, Luffy and his crew are going to to Sabaody Archipelago next after they meet Camie, just about some days before the "War of the Best" in Marineford. Later Luffy learns about Haki properly from Silvers Rayleigh. At that point I will go with him to learn more about it. If it is like Ki or chakra then I will have no problem learning it. They have yet to encounter Camie or Hachi yet so it is most likely a few days away. The way time is spent here is weird so I don"t know if a similar amount of time has pa.s.sed back in the Naruto-verse. For now I just have to get my strength back to see if I can hop back maybe I can adapt to the energy drain so I can do it more often without any repercussions. I saw a giant wall in the distance.
Sage: Is that the location?
Nami: Yeah but following the Log Pose we have to head down.
Sage: Will you guys try to go under or over the wall? Wait, a sea king is coming.
A giant rabbit sea king popped out of the surface.
Luffy: Gomu Gomu no Pistol
Luffy hit the sea king and 2 figures were spit out of its mouth.
