Endless Adventure - Chapter 107

I took a deep breath and tried to brainstorm everything I heard about. The Void Kingdom is a world superpower that basically rules the world. In One Piece world it’s like a Japan in any anime, the center of the world. The Kingdom conquered and colonized twenty countries. It is easy to guess that those countries are the ones that rebel and create a World Government which will rule the world for the next 800 years. I always wondered how Void Kingdom lost to twenty countries. It’s most likely they never expected the betrayal. As I was talking to Densetsu I could feel confidence in his voice. The people of the Void Kingdom never expected that twenty kingdoms would ever rebel.

The fact that the Kings of those countries have blood connections to the royalty of the Void Kingdom makes it more terrible. They have the right to inherit the throne if there is no heir to the throne. I don’t care about Void Kingdom but I could be attacked by the rebellious Kings as I am the only heir to the Void Kingdom and the best way to weaken the kingdom is to kill their future leader. It was a terrible idea to reincarnate in this era. I can’t access my Chimera Ant form and I still don’t know the depth of my opponents power.

When I was thinking about all that Pouf called out for me. I was kicked out of my thoughts and looked at him. He bowed and said, “The ship is ready!” I looked around and no one was around me except for my guards and the ship in front of me. Slowly I started boarding the ship.

I was always curious why the One Piece world doesn’t have flying ships but had cyborgs. When watching the series I thought it was because World Government prohibited making them. So that the technology wouldn’t progress and that they could easily crush the rebellion. After learning about the past I think I know why future was technologically more advanced.

For the starters there was no red big wall that separated the world. This made trade accessible to everyone. In this world even if you live in a countryside you can still travel to the center of the world.

As I was walking towards my room I came across a training area of the ship. I peered inside it to see one snow leopard Mink. His name is Kusunoki D. Yoshiie if I recall. He was the other person in charge of the expedition. I don’t really know anything about him. The only thing I know is that he for some reason hates Densetsu.

This truly surprised me as I recall that Minks and samurai from Wano were friends in the series. But now it is different! From few times I ever saw him I remember every time he having an argument with Densetsu. I am not sure so let’s ask him right away. Sometimes you can’t do anything but be straightforward.

I walked towards Yoshiie and said, “You’re quite the warrior sir Yoshiie! Even during such a nice and sunny day you keep training!”

He looked at me and made a small bow after which he said, “I don’t really like the sun! I am ashamed that I couldn’t accompany you today!”

The training area was engulfed in silence. I coughed and said, “It may not be my problem and that I’m buŧŧing into other people’s business but I have to ask it! Is there some past between you and sir Densetsu! From few times I saw you together I always saw you two arguing! I could care less about your past misgivings but your arguments could effect the expedition negatively! To prevent that I have to know more about your history! If you don’t want to talk about it then we could end the conversation here.”

Yoshiie looked down and said, “It’s not a big secret and many people know of this! Minks originate from Wano just like samurai that follow Densetsu. We have lived there for centuries until forty years ago when we were kicked out of our homeland. The humans of Wano just started to shun us and we were forced to leave our homeland. The person who forced us out was the Densetsu’s father and his clan.”

After hearing that I smiled and said, “I now understand! I think it was hard for you to remember about it. I’m sorry I brought bad memories!” After saying that I went towards my cabin.

In my room I took a deep breath and cursed my father. He knew about their past but still made them lead the expedition. Most likely he wants me to prove myself. But I don’t think it would be possible. You may not know this dear reader but I’m bad at helping others. You may wonder how a perfect being like me can have such weakness? I just can’t control it, I’m bad at not being selfish.

I took deep breath and closed my eyes.

I was awoken from my sleep by a knocking on my door. I opened my eyes and slowly went towards the door. I opened it and saw Pouf before the door. Confused I asked, “Did something happen?”

Pouf bowed down and said, “Your Highness the pirate ship is nearing our ship. Sir Densetsu said we have to prepare to fight!”

I nodded and started running to see the enemy ship. I quickly arrived at the deck and looked around the perimeter. I could see a tiny dot far away from us which was slowly getting bigger. It was my chance! I looked at Densetsu and said, “I’ll go and attack them! Nobody follow me!”

I used Geppo to fly towards the pirate ship. I arrived before the ship in few minutes. Looking at the people in it I was ecstatic. There were many strong looking humans in the ship. When I was about to attack the ship an arrow pierced my shoulder. I looked at the direction it came from and saw no one. I looked at arrow that pierced my shoulder and then I was attacked again. This time my other shoulder was pierced I looked around again but found no one.

What I saw on the ship was many women tied with a rope and pirates surrounding them. All the pirates were terrified. The one that looked like leader looked at me and asked, “Did Sniper King send you?”
