Chapter -41 - 28: Arrived, Little Garden 2

Narmi went back to where Robin and the others had set up the camp. On his way back, he casually killed an animal to secure food for a few days. Not long after, he arrived at their camp, with a big animal corpse on his tow.

The others when they saw the big corpse, were thunderstruck when he dragged it to their camp. He just went in for a few hours and came back with that big thing, without any injuries or any bloody mess. His face also didn't show any distress.

"Hey guys, I just settled all my business in there. Look here, I brought our food for a few days." Narmi said with an innocent tone. The crew were stunned speechless with his words, that made it looks like killing that thing was easy.

Putting aside about his nonchalant attitude, Robin curiously asked him about his business.

"What business that you got in there? Didn't this place only have this prehistoric animals in it? Don't say that you just went into the forest, just to killed them and then came back."

"Oyaaa.. You see this place before this only have this prehistoric animals. But then, right now, this place had two giants that lived in here. So I went to ask for their permissions, well permission seeing as I met only one of them."

"So, did the giant gave the permission?"

"Yeah, well at first, he looked like that he didn't want to give the permission and asked me if I could kill the T-Rex. So, we make a bet and he agreed to it while slightly mocking me."

"What happened after that? Knowing your nature, I felt that you had done something that could probably made that giant dumbstruck, as you were not one to lie down when mocked, albeit slightly." Robin replied

"Well, you see I tried to show my ability but 'accidentally' annihilated it. Like you said, the giant was dumbstruck and his face was a sight to behold. So then, here I am."

Robin just chuckled when she heard him said that he 'accidentally' annihilated it. She noticed that after his breakthrough the other day, his power was starting to leak out slightly. Naturally, she could guess that he also had let off some of his steam.

"Tomorrow, we will start our training. This time I'm going to be totally ruthless and made you guys train harder. So, you guys better prepared for yourself, as I will not stopped training you guys until you guys were as strong as the Yonko."

As a matter of course, Robin and the others were all ears to what he said. They knew that if they want to stay in his crew, they need to get stronger. Their captain was really strong, and him alone could fight with the top figures of the sea.

But they knew, right now what made him stuck around here was them, as he was worried about their safety when he went into battles. So, he willingly took his time to trained them, so that when he went all-out, he didn't need to worry about them as he knew that they were strong enough to contend in a a battles themselves.

"I'm going to made each one of you like a war machine itself. One of you guys alone could rampaged around the battlefield without any help from the others. Yonko? Fleet Admiral? Admirals?Not even one of them could hold a candle towards us."

"But before tomorrow, naturally comes tonight. This night we will have fun and rest our body. Have fun to your heart's content tonight as tomorrow, only hell will be waiting for you guys. So, that's that. We will set up a barbecue spot and have barbecue party tonight. Henry will be the one cooking as that was obvious."

After that, they started to work around, helping each other setting the barbecue spot. Narmi knew that if they made barbecue, the animals in the forest would probably came. So he bought a Bari Bari No Mi, as a preparation for tonight's party. He didn't want the animals to disturb his crew fun time tonight.

That night, all five of them have fun chatting around each other. Laughter reverberated through the night with Narmi's making jokes. Occasionally, roar of the prehistoric animals can be heard, but nothing came towards them. Needless to say, this was Narmi's work as he blocked the area around them with a barrier.

G-2 Marine Base

Dalmatian and Onigumo was sitting in front of Comil with a bored expression on their face. Onigumo then started their conversations.

"Comil, we are bored waiting for this kid. Are there really no news about him?"

"Not yet as of now. He probably was still on the sea. Be patient. It wasn't only you two that were bored. Did you guys thought I wasn't? I need to face this stack of reports everyday, not like you guys that just stay around here doing nothing."

Suddenly, Comil's secretary came in with a distressed face. Obviously, the secretary was scared that Comil and the two other Vice Admirals would be pissed with this report. But then, he couldn't not report it as that will probably pissed them more.

"Vice Admiral sir. We got reports that the Grand King Pirates's ship were nowhere to be found. They didn't pass any islands and it was like they vanished into the thin air. Not a trace of their ship could be found."

The three vice admirals were shocked when they heard the report. What is this? Did their Marines were so incompetent that even a pirate's ship couldn't be found? Comil, the person in-charge of G-2 base were really embarassed when his secretary made that report.

"What are the informants doing?! Did they didn't do their works?! How can a ship vanished into thin air?! Tell them to keep searching, or else don't even make the report." Comil roared towards his secretary.

"Y-Y-Yes sir. I-I-I will tell them right now." the secretary nodded profusely, before he went away in a hurried motion.

Little Garden

Late at night, when Nami, Law and Henry had went to sleep, Narmi and Robin was still awake and sitting besides each other. Robin's head was on Narmi's shoulder with his hand on her head.

"Robin, tomorrow I will not act like a lover. I'm sorry because if I didn't act like that, then you weren't going to become any stronger."

"It's fine. I understand, although you had promised to protect me but that didn't mean I always need to be protected. I know you did all this for our sake. I'm happy that you didn't make any special exception for me as that will only made me unhappy. Your choice to act like that show that you really love me."

"Thank you Robin. I'm really glad you understood my intention. "

Their eyes then made contact with each other. Narmi stared into Robin's beautiful eyes, before proceeding to kiss her lips.

In the middle of the night, a passionate kissing between a man and a woman was happening with the roar of the animals accompanying them occasionally.
