Chapter 91 - New Member

Luffy took the mask from Soren and placed it on top of his Straw hat, Luffy now looked like a badass from the way he wore the mask on the Straw hat.

[You look like a true pirate now Luffy… Go become pirate king]: soren

Soren placed his hand on top of Luffy's head as he gave those encouraging words to his graduate, Soren then removed his hand and sent him off.

[Go explore the world, I will meet you from time to time so always be ready for my arrival as I might drop by when you are out at sea]: soren

Luffy was wiping the tears from his eyes and taking in every bit of information Soren gave him, Luffy then gave Soren a hug and left towards the dock to see if he could hitch a ride. After Luffy was out of sight Soren turned around to head back towards the Inn, and when Misha saw Soren she could see a tear in his eye.

[Why is Husband crying? Husband never cries]: misha

Soren just took her in his arms and whispered in her ear.

[I have been with him for 9 years, I see him as my own son]: soren

Misha thought about this and realized that Soren spent most of his time with Luffy when they would train. And now even Misha was feeling a little heartbroken from Luffy's departure, she then whispered in Soren's ear to cheer him up.

[How about we go make a Son for you then]: misha

Soren took his head off of Misha's shoulder and gave her a smile, they both then went back to the Inn and made love for 4 hours. After their intense love making, Soren and Misha took a shower and packed their stuff to leave the Inn. Going down stairs Soren was greeted by the owner of the Inn and had his last conversation with him.

[It won't be as quiet without you around anymore… But we all have our own paths and you are now taking a new road, I wish you luck]: owner

[Don't fret Old man, I might be back in the future]: soren

The old man gave Soren a smile, but is soon disappeared and the man then turned around to grab something, he returned with a sword in his hands and spoke.

[I want you to take my daughter with you on your trip along with this sword… My days are short and I don't want anything bad to happen to my daughter once I'm gone so I beg of you… Take her with you]: owner

Soren looked at the old man and then at the girl who was hiding around the corner with tears in her eyes, Soren then looked back at the old man who was bowing with a sword facing him. Soren then put his hand on the old man's shoulder and spoke.

[Please… Don't bow to me, I will take care of your daughter for you, I will not let anything bad happen to her. I promise you this]: soren

Then the old man stood straight up and thanked Soren while placing the sword into Soren's hands while stating the origins of his sword.

[Thank you Soren… I want you to take this sword and teach my daughter how to wield it, this is the last request of a father to a friend. This sword is also a bit famous… My father's father got it from a man who he happened to save from major wounds. The man told my grandpa that the sword was a blessed sword and that it would only have the one it deems it's owner wield it, then the man proceeded to bargain with the blessed sword to only take members of my family as future wielders. The sword accepted and is now passed down to our 4th generation]: owner

Soren then took the sword from the old man and held it in his hands. Soren could feel the strong power coming from the sword and proceeded to try and pull the sword from its sheath.

[Wait don't do-]: owner

The old man tried to warn Soren but it was too late, Soren then pulled the sword and looked at the old man with the sword drawn and spoke.

[What? Is there a problem?]: soren

The old man was shocked to see the sword accept Soren and let Soren draw it from the scabbard, the old man then spoke with a stutter.

[T-the s-sword has c-chosen you… Y-you must t-teach my daughter t-to wield t-this sword please]: owner

The old man then started prostrating on the ground which caught everyone who was present in the main lobby of the Inn to notice and focus on Soren, Soren then quickly stopped the old man and spoke giving reassurance to the man.

[I already told you I would take responsibility for your daughter… So please stand up and give face to men world wide]: soren

The old man stood up once more and gave Soren a hug, to which Soren put a stop to immediately, he then looked towards the corner where the girl was hiding and waved her to come towards him.

[Young one… How old are you?]: soren

The girl who arrived in front of Soren was scared so she quickly answered and bit her tongue.

[Yesh!... Oww!... I'm 24]: girl

Soren thought about it for a bit and thought she looked younger than she actually was, Soren put that to the back of his mind and asked.

[What is your name?]: soren

The girl who was rubbing her tongue heard Soren and spoke once more but was careful not to bite her tongue this time.

[My name is Karin]: karin

Soren then turned his gaze from Karin back to the old man and spoke.

[I will take care of Karin and make her a strong person]: soren

The old man was eternally grateful, he even tried to kowtow towards Soren but Soren didn't let him do so. Soren then walked up to Karin with the sword that the old man had given to him and handed it to her. He then turned around with Misha and started to leave the Inn, Karin was still in shock due to how handsome Soren was and how he could give such a distant feeling. While she was in her daze Soren turned around and spoke which woke Karin up from her thoughts.

[We are leaving… Are you coming or not?]: soren

Karin woke from her daze and ran towards Soren with her sword almost falling from her grasp, all Soren said after seeing that would then cement Karin to her fate.

[Looks like I have to teach you how to hold a sword first]: soren

Soren said this as a joke but Karin had a blush appear on her face which told Soren that he was right, Soren was surprised that Karin had never even held a sword before. Soren then took both Misha and Karin down to the docks where Soren had bought a small ship that could accommodate 10 people and had a training room.

[Wow… How much did Husband spend on this ship?]: misha

[Just 2 million barries, nothing much… I could have gotten a cheaper one but this was the only small ship that had a training room]: soren

Misha heard Soren's words and only nodded to them, Soren then looked over at Karin and spoke which frightened her a bit.

[I will make you a regimen that you will follow daily… From there you will do small tasks that will build your stamina and willpower, at times you might even think I am torturing you… So I will ask you once and only once… Do you want to train under me still?]: soren

Karin thought about it for a moment and was kind of scared to accept Soren's offer when she heard that her training would feel like torture to her, and after a good 3 minutes of thinking Karin then spoke up.

[I-I-I… I will accept your training Master! Please teach me how to fend for myself and protect my friends and family]: Karin
