Chapter 18 - Unexpected Encounter

Are you excited for the one piece film RED??!! Finally shanks will have a long screen time!! I cannot wait for it!!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

It's been five days since Law dropped me here in the Sabaody Archipelago, and he and his crew proceed to sail again after two days. It's not easy to say goodbye to them because they don't want me to go.

Bepo give me a tightest bear hug, while shachi and penguin i give them a friendly hug and they fainted after i do that. Law just wave at me and grin. The rest of his crew said their goodbyes also.In my arrival here in Sabaody i immediately go to Shakky Bar. Shakky-san really welcome me again and scold me for being so attraction of trouble. I really shake because of the fear because a angry Shakky-san is not a really good sight. After i apologize to her, i help her to entertaine and serve to her customer and she advise me to wear a mask to avoid attention because there is some marines patrolling here in this Archipelago and they eat and drink here often after their duty.

I'm in my room right now here in Shakky-san's bar, preparing my things for my journey. Shakky-san was pretty sad about it but she let me because she said it can help me to remember where i came from. If you only knew shakky-san.

My destination is in New world, how can i have a safe journey? Easy, because shakky-san said there was a mysterious person left me a package. That person is on hurry according to Shakky-san, she didn't even have the chance to ask about because after that person left the package, it just away. I'm sure that was Mirarin.

The things inside the package was a letter, a glass ball, and few shirts and clothes that have a style like in my world. This is the inside message of the letter:

Dear y-n,

I really want to scold you for being reckless but i will just do it when i meet you again, you have so many explaination to do, young lady! Anyway, if you notice a glass ball, you just need to smash it to the ground and say the place that you want to go. Well the place where  you need to go will be on the New World. You will start there to find the clue. I have detected some mysterious unknown force there. The Name of the Island you will go is the Island of Narra, stay there for 1 week to gather information. So take care and don't let the people get suspicious of you.

Ps. Don't worry about your real world, Miranda froze the time there, so this world is your temporary world. Just focus on your mission so that you can finish it before it's too late.

Your goddess friend, Mirarin.

(I just made up the name of the island.)

After i read the letter i immediately pack my things, and said good bye to Shakky-san who hug me tight and said her goodbyes to me. I'm walk out from the Bar and walk on the streets. I wear a cap to hide my face and a black mask covering my mouth, to avoid the attention if people will recognize me. I need to find a place where people rarely walk pass. Luckily, i found a dark corner between a restaurant and a clothes shop. There are few people now in Sabaody Archipelago because of the War. The Passing of Whitebeeard was a surprise for the people because the sea will be more dangerous from now on. The newspapers also said that Portgas D. Ace died and the one of won the war was the Navy. I did not continue read the newspaper because i know the articles there are the cover up of the World Government. More pirates are now causing chaos in the whole world.

I walk towards to the corner and grab the glass ball from my bag and inspect it. The glass ball are just a normal glass ball that you can see on a department store in the real world.

"Mirarin said that i need just to smash this thing to the ground and said the place where i need to go. Fine by me." I mumble and grab the glass ball both hands and smash it to the ground.

The glass ball cause a spiral white light appear. I step in it and close my eyes.

"Take me to the Island of Narra." I said to it and i feel my self got suck up. I mutter curses when i notice that i was falling without a thing to grab on. I just hug my bag to my chest tightly and keep my self screaming. The last thing i remember is that i fall on something green.

After that i feel a wind blowing on my face, i slowly open my eyes and notice that i fall to a field of grass. I'm in a forest. I get up and remove the glass clinging to me. Thank god, i have no injuries because of the fall. Dammit mirarin, atleast you need to inform me that is was dangerous.

I grab my bag and try to find an exit im this forest. I hear people voices from my left. I go there and see it's a town full of people, the town looks peaceful. Vendors and shops everywhere. Is this the Island of Narra? I need to ask first.

Suddenly, i feel my stomach growl demanding food. I forgot to eat lunch and it looks like it's still noon time. I need to find a bar or a restaurant to eat on. Luckily, shakky-san give me some belli.

I walk towards a tall man selling fruits and he smiled at me when he notice i walk towards him.

"Excuse me mister, is this the Island of Narra?" I asked him politely. He nod and smile.

"Yes miss, this the Island of Narra. There is no Navy here we are protected by a pirate."

I nod satisfied with his answer and i think he notice that i'm not from here.

"Are you a tourist miss?" He inquired.

"Yes, i just arrive here today and can i ask if there is a ba——." My words was cut off because of my stomach growling loudly. I grab my tummy and feel the embarassment coming to me.

The man vendor chuckle a little when he hear my stomach. I feel my face getting warm. "It seems you have a exhausting journey coming here. If you want to ask if there is a bar here. It can be found on the street of Menoki at the left side. It's a ten minutes walk but it is worth it because the food there is so good."

I thank him and walking towards the said streets. "Thank you for the direction mister! Pack me some apples please." He smile very big and immediately put some apples on plastic bag.

"How much it is?" I asked the Vendor after he count the apples.

"It's 1000 belli because it have a eight apples." He response and i give him the amount. He accept it and turn to me. "If you want to asked about the history of this island you can find me here. My name is Victor, miss!!"

I nod at him and smile. "I appreciate that, Victor-san. Thank you for the apples!" I said then follow the directions he give to me. After i eat on the bar and rent a hotel if there is available here in this island, i will start to gather information in my stay for one week here.  I thought very concentrate making my routine here. I failed to notice the pirate flag that was in the middle of the town.

***

I reach the street of Menoki and i immediately see the Bar that have a name. 'Keyyes Tavern'. I enter the Bar and see it have many guys inside and they look dangerous, they are focusing on a fight in the middle where there was two bulky man beating each other. The men are betting on who will win. I rolled my eyes on the  sight. Men will always be men, have so much pride than woman.

I walk towards the counter and sit in one bar stools and spinning around a bit. The man behind the bar seems to be on shock when he notice a woman come here even there were dangerous men every cover of the tavern.

"Give me some delicious food please also a glass of water and orange juice! I'm so hungry right now i forgot to eat lunch before going here!!" I stated in a whining tone, the man is still staring at me. I raise my eye brow to him. "What are you waiting for? Gimme some food!" I added and the man seemed a bit taken back and he shook his head in amusement.

"Of course, i'm just surprise a woman will come here and ignore her surrounding. Just take a look, men are everywhere but don't worry if you have money you are welcome." He said then he turn away and he grab some paper and pen also a menu, he gave me the menu. "So what i can get for you, miss?"

I look on the menu and said. "I will order a seafood fried rice, one order of fried chicken, a pasta with meat ball, a two pieces of strawberry cake, and a tall glass of orange juice!" After i said that i notice the man stare at me with his mouth gape. "What?"

The man close his mouth and shake his head. "Are you sure, you can finish all of that? I think it's too much for you." The man commented in worry, i just nod at him. "Well, i'm super hungry okey? Just cook my orders please."

The man sigh and nod, he turn around to the kitchen. "Your food will be cook in ten to fifteen minutes, i will serve it to you when it's ready."

I hummed and drummed my fingers on the counters. The man got out from the kitchen and walk towards me. "I tell my cook to ready your food, don't worry you will come here again after you taste the food." Then he serve me a glass of water and i accept it. He went back cleaning the glass after i got here.

I smile and show him a thumbs up. He nod at me. Suddenly, i notice the man behind the bar got frozen on his spot. I raise my eye brow on him in confusion. He just shook his head and hide behind the bar counter. Then, i notice the noise inside the tavern got quiet except a footsteps coming towards to the counter. I grab the glass of water and remove my mask in my mouth and unconciously drink the water, i just stay calm. Don't freak out y-n, just be relax and no trouble will happen.

I hear the stool in my right side move and the person sit on it. I stare at the corner of my eyes and see a man arm resting on the counter. I gulped and i can feel the man beside me is emitting a serious aura.

"Give me and my crew a couple barrels of booze we will run out the booze here. It's good to be here again." The person beside me order the man and damn his voice are oddly familiar. Where did i here this voice? Wait, did he say crew?

I drink water again and slowly turn towards the person, my eyes got wide because i did not expect i will meet him soon. He is already looking at me and i can feel the stare of the man behind the bar. Dangerous grey eyes meet a conflicted blue eyes.

I spit the water from my mouth because of shock and the water got shot to the person who is looking at me. He close his eyes when he feel the water shot at him. I hear the gasps of the people around us. My hand unconciously cover my mouth to stop the spill of water.

Holy shit, kill me now...

The person that i accidentally shower because of the water from my mouth was none other than the only emperor of the see who is the youngest of all four emperors.

It's Red-haired SHANKS.
