Traversing the Anime Multiverse with a System - Chapter 87

[Wha!?… Where did he go?]: ???

The person who was watching Soren and Luffy was now wondering where the man in question had disappeared to, Soren was standing there in one second then he disappeared in the next and when Soren did this it confused the person who was observing Soren.

[Are you looking for me?]: soren

The man who was searching around for the missing Soren was spooked when he heard someone speak from behind him, he quickly turned to meet the person.

[How did you?… Nevermind… I need your help]: ???

Soren knew instantly who the person in the hood was from his voice and the slightly visible tattoos on his face. The person in question was indeed Dragon, but what stumped Soren was that Dragon was asking him for help.

[Who are you and why should I help you?]: soren

Soren decided to play stuipd and ask Dragon his name, but Soren was also very curious about what Dragon wanted his help with. Soren’s only option at this point was to ask who he was and what his goal was, and when Dragon heard the question he thought for a moment before speaking.

[… I… My name is Dragon, I have been taking care of one of your students]: dragon

Soren knew he was talking about Sabo but still asked.

[You have Ace?… Man, it’s only been 3 weeks and he is already under someone else… These are very sad times]: soren

Dragon heard Soren’s claims and seen the fake cries on his face, he then spoke up and told Soren who he was really taking care of.

[No… I have Sabo under my custody… And I have been training him for 3 years now]: dragon

Soren removed his fake tears about Ace and gave a fake gasp before speaking.

[*Gasp*… How dare you try to claim tutelage over a dead student of mine… I should kill you for disgracing his death with your words]: soren

Soren gave no room for Dragon to speak as he continued telling the sad story of how Sabo had died 3 years back, even with Soren knowing the truth and how Dragon truly did have Sabo, but he wanted to find out more about why Soren’s assistance was needed for Sabo.

[You got it all wrong… I rescued Sabo when those pirates had left… I only came here because Sabo fell ill just a couple of weeks ago]: dragon

Soren thought about it for a moment before speaking up.

[And what happened that is so bad that only “I” could help him? If it is an illness then shouldn’t the great leader of the Revolutionary Army be capable of ridding Sabo of this illness?]: soren

[How did you… Never mind that… It’s not just an illness, something is keeping him from awakening from his coma]: dragon

[And what makes you think I can awaken him?]: soren

Soren was now wondering the same thing. Why is Sabo in a coma, and why does Dragon think that he can wake him from it. Dragon then started going into detail about the events leading up to Sabo’s current state.

[Sabo has lost all previous memories of everything before he woke up in the Revolutionary Army. He would always train his hardest and never take breaks, but just 3 weeks ago I had accepted the challenge to become his sparring partner, and I used some King’s Haki to beat him… After I did that he mumbled one word… “Sensei” then he passed out and has yet to awaken, I came here because of that one word]: dragon

Soren heard out Dragon and thought it over himself, after some thinking he came up with a rough idea of Sabo’s situation.

[I believe that Sabo has gone through some kind of Subconscious backlash of some sort]: soren

When Dragon heard Soren’s words he gave Soren a questioning look and asked.

[So are you saying that he is unconscious because his brain is trying to remember something?]: dragon

Soren gave Dragon a smile before it disappeared and he spoke like he knew exactly what was going on, even though he had no clue.

[Not something… Everything… When Sabo wakes up he will remember everything that happened before he woke up in your care… Hopefully]: soren

[What was that last thing?]: dragon

[Nothing… Here’s the deal… I will come with you, but I need to tell Luffy first]: soren

Dragon gave Soren a worried look but before he could say anything Soren relieved him of his worry.

[I won’t tell him about Sabo or that your his father… I just need to give him his tasks until I get back]: soren

Dragon’s mouth dropped when he heard Soren out him as being Luffy’s dad, he then quickly questioned Soren.

[How do you know these things? Are you some kind of spy?]: dragon

Soren gave a slight smile and spoke.

[You could say that I’m something similar to a spy, but I don’t work for anyone… If I am hired I can do things like getting information all the way up to killing targeted people]: soren

Dragon looked at Soren with weary eyes, he felt that Soren might just be one of the most dangerous people in the entire world. And what made it worse was that he worked for no specific organization, that meant that he may be enemies with someone but turn around to be allies the next day.

[So why were you helping my son and his friends?]: dragon

[Well it’s a bit complicated… You see I was neither contracted nor paid to train him… I was just asked by a friend to help him grow up. I initiated the training all on my own]: soren

[I just have one last question then…]: dragon

Soren looked at Dragon and then nodded his head giving Dragon the go ahead to ask the question, when Dragon got the okay he spoke.

[Do you care for my son?]: dragon

Soren thought about it for a moment before answering which made Dragon feel uneasy but he was relieved when he heard Soren’s next words.

[If you are asking if I would ever fulfill a target request that was placed on Luffy then no… But… If there was ever a time where Luffy was in trouble I would let him deal with it on his own… Luffy is a strong boy with a bright future, if I step in at every turn then he would never grow and always rely on me or others to get something done… So do I care about him?… I guess you could say so, but I will never help him through his own battles]: soren

[That’s good… You are a bright teacher and I am glad that you are the one who is to teach Luffy… I could think of no better teacher]: dragon

[Why thank you for those kind words, but I am no great teacher… I only live day by day and help my friends gather strength… I will go inform Luffy of my departure and we will leave from there, I will be back in 30 minutes]: soren

Soren went back to Luffy who was practicing with his Devil Fruit ability and told him of his leave, Soren then set up some quick Haki practice methods such as swinging logs and falling sand bags, Soren then went back home to inform Misha to watch over Soren while he was gone.

[don’t worry Husband… Misha will make sure Luffy doesn’t get hurt too badly]: misha

Soren then left his home after he changed his clothes into that of his Black trench coat and pants along with a Blue shirt, then went back to Dragon.
