Are you guys alright ? a panting Ace asked

I'm alive , tired but i will live but we really need to hurry up and leave responded Deuce dramatically .

I returned to normal and told him : I'm never better but i agree with Deuse-san the heat is really beginning to become unbearable , are you okey Ace ? .

You are both okay that's good , don't worry Ryuu I'm just a bit worn out a bit of rest and i will be back to my peak but first do any of you have an idea about how to put out this blazing fire .

Cough cough you can leave this to the navy i already contacted the marine base and asked for reinforcements and explained the situation they may be arriving here any moment now And Portgas D Ace i'm really sorry that all this happened i swear to you that i didn't know Vice Admiral Drew intentions . Said Isuka now blushing and looking quite embarrassed while bowing apolitically to Ace .

It all went well in the end so ensign Isuka doesn't really need to do this but i wanted to ask if you would like to join my crew .

Me , Deuce , even Isuka stood there in shock because of what he said .

No , i would like to continue looking for a way to strengthen my justice but thank you for the offer anyway . And she finally woke up from her Trance and refused his invitation while looking at me .

We waited for a few minutes with her waiting for the navy's reinforcements to arrive but out of curiosity i asked : is the navy's reinforcements really coming to the lawless zone to put out a fire .

I'm not quite sure myself but it's the only option i believe this place have and i told you that you can already leave and i will take responsibility for it .

And i don't know how but the air around us was beginning to become cold when a tall tanned man with a curly hair wearing a suit under his navy coat that we don't know appeared silently besides us and nonchalantly began saying :Quite a hot-headed young girl you are but i like the feisty girls , i already knew what happened here and i don't think vice admiral Drew would be this cruel anyway the fire is now off . And he snapped his finger and the blazing fire froze completely and even the air temperatures around us began decreasing but luckily we were beside Ace a flames man .

He continued to say : With that out of the way which one of you gentlemen is Ryuu ?

What are you doing here Navy Admiral Aokiji san aren't you searching for that wanted man on that...… wanted ...poster , she then looked at me in astonishment as if realization finally struck her she finally realized why i didn't want to go to the marine base to let her check on my past .

I was patrolling the area for clues and found some information about The White Haired Demon a man named Ryuu and from how they described his abilities he became my main suspect then i heard your call for reinforcements and arrived here now by looking closely you really might be the one . He finished his words and was currently pointing at me with ice began to form on the finger that was pointing at me with and i felt cold chills all over my body but wonder was something wrong with his head he should already have seen that i'm the only one with white hair so why bother asking and why was his lazy attitude seem so familiar to me .

Luckily Ace increased his flames to fight against the invading cold but i can already tell from the weak flame he conjured that he was really very tired .

Isuka tried to mend the situation by saying that my hair was bleached recently but weirdly his only response was ooh yeah , i don't buy it boy did you bleach your hair recently and where did you do it , i expected that his question was something like a test and was beginning to think of something believable to say but his next words almost knocked me out of pure shock i want to bleach my hair there too .

We stood there with our mouths now wide opened was he kidding or was he seriously considering it and didn't he say he wasn't buying it what is really going on with him .

You really look like a nice guy but if i didn't capture you i would get yelled at by Sengoku san who will accordingly also get yelled at by those people in Mary Geoise so i would appreciate it if you say your goodbyes to your friends and came with me quietly this way you won't need to die today . He continued on saying this still acting more serious than before and at the mention of surrendering and death all the parties stood tensed in their places with Ace being the exception even with his tired body he began to agitate his Mera Mera fruit power and said : you won't be taking him nowhere and again clashed with the ice cold that were now spreading towards us intentionally or unintentionally it kept on forming then melting continuasly because of Ace's flame the whole situation was nerve-wracking as we also steadied ourselves for the big battle that we thought it was going to start soon .

Weirdly enough he laid on the ground suddenly and began taking a nap what is currently happening we are all confused but a few seconds and he woke up with a clueless expression on his face as if not understanding where he was and my thoughts were confirmed when he said what was i saying just now , oooh since i forgot it must been something unimportant and was going to continue napping .

Hey Admiral san could you tell me what do you intend to do already instead of what ever is that you are doing .

He opened his eyes and asked me who are you again .

I almost facepalmed myself but then looked at Ace and Deuce the latter was already dying from fright and Ace was completely focusing on the man laying on the ground and suggested that we just make a run for it and Ace pulled Deuce out of his state and as we began moving the cold increased again and Admiral Aokiji as Isuka called woke up with a victorious grin on his face saying : Ohright right i remembered what i'm here for capturing and neutralize Ryuu D Solar i guess that's you .

The three of us screamed at him in one voice frustratingly yelling : TELL US SOMETHING NEW DAMNIT .

Phew dealing with Rayleigh san training is easier than dealing with this man .

Since you want to leave then you can leave i will just report that i was late and you already left the Sabondy Archipelago .

Why would a marine and an admiral of all do that for a pirate .

Hahahaha , Oh you are also going to become a pirate Garp san won't be happy about this it will be a funny scene to watch but he was the one who told me to go easy on you if i was able to find you .

Garp san , Admiral Aokiji you know Garp san ? .

Ofcourse , he is a role model to those who believe in sovereignty of justice or something like that the one that ordered me to leave you be as he said that the Marine is indebted to you , don't know what this debt is about though i warn you i won't give you a single berry .

My brain is numbed at the antics of the man in front of me but at least there is no need to fight .

I owe you a thank you then Aokiji san .

Don't thank me yet i'm only leaving you be just once due to Garp san face but when he know that you became a pirate maybe he will be the one asking me to catch you .

So you are only leaving us be only this once on the account of the old man's face but are you sure you might be losing your only chance of capturing us .

That's the situation more or less ooh you are quite confident of escaping if we met again .

Escape !? I meant that by the next time we meet you won't be able to lay a finger on Ryuu or anyone from our crew .

Yeah , yeah bon voyage and he began leaving but i stooped him and asked him if possible to tell Garp san that i'm grateful to him and whispered that if possible i wanted him to take Isuka under his wing or Garp's san one and he just nodded and said :

My work here is done ensign Isuka are you coming or not yeah and do me a favor and arrest Vice Admiral Drew if you would .

Aaahhh , yes right ! Right away sir .

She didn't say anything just waved at us while she left with the not so bad Navy Admiral Aokiji .

Oh , yeah AOKIJI SSAAANNN .

Huh , what do you want now i already told you to not expect any money from me .

It's not that i just wanted you to also tell Garp san i said hello and that i'm very thankful for the precious gift he left me .

Don't mention it even without Garp san order i wouldn't have killed you .

Aah you misunderstood it's not you just tell him and he will understand .

Tch you ungrateful kid fine i will try to remember let's move Isuka .

With that they both left and Deuce finally collapsed unconscious on the ground with a weird foam coming from his mouth the scene was really nerve-wracking but luckily it worked well we sat there Ace was resting and we were waiting for Deuce to wake up .

Ace fell asleep while we were talking and i sat there watching over them while breathing heavily the previous situation really was really irritatingly thrilling but at least it's good to see that there are good marines out there other than Garp san and Isuka and he even a high ranking official too .

Finally Ace was the first to wake up as his stomach was gurgling loudly i'm really hungry wake up already Deuce . He said and nudge Deuce on the head .

He was still unaware of what happened after he collapsed and said unconsciously : Even in the afterlife Ace is still a nonsense .

Someone is badmouthing his captain i'm surprised guess who will be the deep sea kings bait .

And at that he finally opened his eyes and stared widely at our surroundings we are still alive thank god i owe you an apology for whatever sins i did . He was continuing his monologue when Ace punched him in the face with enough strength to completely sober him up .

What are you doing hurry up and let's go i'm already dying of hunger because you fell asleep .

I wasn't asleep i was unconscious damnit .

No need to yell idiot let's go get something to eat , oh right Ryuu do you want to come with us to the ship now we should be setting sail toward Fishman island tomorrow morning after all . He brushed Deuce swearing and cursing off and asked me .

Sorry i will be joining you tomorrow in the morning i will look for my new luggage bubble and will say my final goodbye to a few acquaintance of mine in Sabondy Archipelago wanna join with me .

I will pass i will get some food and head back to the ship for a good sleep don't be late tomorrow or we might leave without you .he then told me where his ship was and in which Grove and we parted .

Luckily my storing bubble was safe and sound i pulled it and went back to grove 13 for my last training session with Rayleigh it might be a a long time before i got the chance to see him and Shakky san again .

You have a big day ahead of you Ryuu and luckily that Admiral didn't create any troubles for you .

So he was watching over me i fought the urge to bow down to him in gratitude in the end i just nodded politely .

I can't tell how far the current you can go in the new world but my last advice to you will be to steady your heart and strength your will you will find yourself in a dangerous seas filled with mysteries and horrendous climates and hideous creatures that will impact your will more than your body so Ryuu always remember your dream and always do your best and have no doubts or regrets you now was introduced to the basics of the 3 types of Haki i will now teach you about how could you train and Improve your level of mastery over time but you may find your own way to mastery after all those are but the experience and understanding of an old man .

He then began to explain how should i go around training myself in and outside of the battlefield while again telling me to be aware and carful of both my own strengths and weaknesses as knowing your self is your first step towards triumphing over your enemies and i kept noting everything he was teaching me about but a phrase about the possibility of me encountering more advanced uses and users of all three types of Haki through my adventures is certain caught me a bit off guard but something inside me was beginning to harder than Ace flames my body and soul are already this excited about what adventures could be waiting out there in the New World .

After he finished saying all of this i and for the last time bowed to him deeply out gratitude and told him : i won't ever forget how much your teachings have and will continue to help me , Rayleigh san .

Don't worry about this let's have a feast in celebration of your soon to begin adventure .

And we did go to the bar and Shakky san was already setting a table for the three of us i enjoyed the warm that came from this gesture and thanked her for her hard work and told both of them goodnight and goodbye until we meet again and went to the last place i will crash in for today until my departure tomorrow my parents grave .

Hi Mom , Dad , i miss you guys too much i also have a good news and bad news that i wanted to share with you the good news i'm finally going to follow my dreams and start my adventures in the seas and the bad news is that it will be a long time until i can visit you again so could i selfishly ask for you to bless me on this journey of mine and yeah i even bought some cookies just like the ones we used to share on the day of my birthday i will sat there with you until the time of my departure so that i can have my enough of you two .

I spent the night there laying and leaning on the mangrove tree and closing my eyes a lot had happened since i left that cursed place i guess i'm really quite acquainted with the word cursed in the mention of curses i may end with a Yoto too as Rayleigh san already told me if i want to use a sword as a weapon i will need to look for a Meito a and one of the graded blades too a Yoto which is a cursed or mystic blade or at least something similar or closer to them as i kept destroying the normal swords in three to four swings while sparring against Rayleigh and it's not because i have a good swordsmanship i'm at most adapt in using swords but because of my increased strength and speed birthing the need of a stronger and more durable blade but i really think with how the things going i would end with a Yoto but i wanted it be a mystic blade not a cursed one if i was able to raise my mastery over my Armament Haki i could be able to use it on the sword to make it more stronger and more durable as well which would take a lot of time in itself .

I also need to improve how i use my devil fruit and aim to use it more effectively and i already have a few new ideas i wanted to test but due to me being unable to use my healing i wasn't able to test if they will work as i planned or not one of them could even accelerate my progress with Haki.

The next day i opened my eyes and looked at the scene in front of me one last time and said : Your little dragon is gonna fly now mom,dad farewell .

I again saw Rayleigh on my way to Gr-41 and he said from now on use all of what i taught you to rise up to the summit only then your won't be bound by anyone or anything and stay safe and don't slack on your training Ryuu .

I hugged him involuntarily and nodded and continued on my way bidding him farewell and waving at him .

I finally reached Gr-41 and found Ace and Deuce and a bunch of other guys that i don't know of as Ace noticed me he began waving at me to join them onboard their chip Piece Of Spadille .

The figurehead of the ship is similar to the design of the Spade Pirates their Jolly Roger was a normal grinning skull and crossbones wearing something like the hat that Ace was now wearing which has two "smileys" one smiling and the other frowning ,the top of the hat has flames protruding from it, a representation of Ace's fire-based abilities. The background of the skull is a spade and the word "SPADE" is beneath it ,on the body of the ship front was a flaming skull, with this one being a horse's , there were also chains linked to the skull and the sides of the ship. The foremost sail bears the crew's Jolly Roger ,the back sail on the top contains the word "SPADE", and has the crew's flag on top of it the ship was now coated and ready to set sail .

I used a Geppo and Soru together and appeared directly on the deck in front of them startling the whole crew because of how fast i was excluding Ace and Deuce ofcourse .

Since our new crew member is already here no need to wait anymore.
