Trinity: omniverse traveling cat - 122 Nami

For the following two days, they will sail without much trouble of any encounters. Looking on his map and then the outline slowly appearing on the horizon, he nods.

“Yep, Kuina, island’ on sight, we should arrive in an hour or so. If Baggy had rise camp here, we should come across some of his men patrol in the surrounding water, or not.”

Forty minutes later, they weren’t that far from the pier. They have long since spotted smoke rising from the side of the city, sail there.

‘No sight of the three morons, either were early, or we had to take another route, I didn’t see the bird too troughs so it might be us being early, traject during Island had never been given.’

Unwilling to leave the boat at sight and risk it being destroyed, they land on a sandbank a little outside, before the city. Looking at the thick smoke rising, it was easy to deduce that, whatever they had destroyed was recent. With any chance, they were still in the city.

Looking on the side after catching the glint of something, he sees Buddle looking at the city with binocular, his hand tightly clutching on them.

“Are you alright Mister?” Ask Alex, surprising the man, as he didn’t hear them arrive.

“What are you doing here, younglings?! It isn’t safe, a pirate had invaded the island, you better turn away before they spot you!”

He let out a small smile draw on his face at the worry of the man for stranger lives.

“Are they Baggy the clown crew?”

“You know already, why come then?” Ask his, surprised that they willingly came here knowing you were here.

“We hear new that he was here, I fear that we miss him, but it doesn’t seem to be the case.”

He perks at this, looking closely, he could see the handle of blades on the back of the man belt, as well as a rifle, the young woman on his side sporting a katana.

“Are you perhaps pirate hunter?” A slight hope in his voice.

While he would have like to have marines interfere, pirates hunters were as good in his book, at the condition that they don’t destroy his city more.

“While we are not bounties hunters, I have been after him for a time (2 days). Do you have some info for us?”

“Yes, they had arrived two weeks ago, the first four days it was nothing but small squirmish from grunts, but after seeing that there wasn’t a threat for them here, they had established a camp in the largest inn, on the centre of the town. Before being forced to flee for our lives, I have counted around fifty or so men, without the captain and the two right-hand men of his. A beast tamer and an acrobat. The man itself his a demon with a mysterious power.” Say him grimly

“Devil fruit.”

“Pardon?”

“Devil fruit, he had eaten a devil fruit, giving him the ability to separate his body into parts, a relatively useful ability against swordsman here.” Inform Alex to the two.

Rather than being depressed, Buddle was happy to hear this, knowing the man generally means that he had a way to either overpower him or had mean to counteract this devil fruit.

“Is there any civilian in the town?”

“No, other than Shushu, the dog of a deceased friend guarding the shop, there is no one.”

“Good, tell them to not enter the town if they hear the sound, We’ll take care of the pirate crew.”

“Truly, thank you!” Say the man, tears gathering in his eyes.

“Don’t thank us yet, only when everything is done.”

“Yes, your right young man.” Say him, but it was clear that he was happy that someone was taking action to free his beloved town.

As they made their way to the city, Kuina ask.

“Any plan captain?”

“Yes, we start by a hit and run tactic. Thin the numbers of the crew and take care of any potential back-stabbing issues. From what I hear, the man like to party, I doubt that they had raided the entire town from their numbers, so there should be some grunts roaming around. Any issues taking pirates lives?” ask him, looking at her from the side, only for her to shake her head negatively.”Good because we won’t restraint our blow, any pirates lives taken here are futures ones saved. After that, we storm his base, steal his treasure to draw the most of leftover men, take care of them and deal with Baggy.”

“How?”

“I had still some sea waters barrel in my storage. I will need you to divert his attention, I will either dozes him with the water or capture his body in, sealing away his power.”

Kuina POV

It might be too late now, but Kuina was rather happy that she had decided to follow him. Not only he seems to have a great deal of information on the world, but also had a solid head on his shoulders and not recklessly head on a fight without any plan. Zoro had been like this and it had cost him his life.

Shaking her head to banish her thoughts, she takes a more serious expression, and start to carefully look at her surrounding as they enter the town proper.

Walking along the seaside, they arrive near the large ship of Baggy, secured on the pier. Taking one knife, he runs the entire distance, cutting apart the anchoring rope, and store the entire ship before it could drift away.

As his storage didn’t accept living being, four of Baggy crew seems to pop out of nowhere. reacting swiftly, he shoots two to death before they splash in the water, and finish the two other sputtering one trying to keep afloat after their sudden immersion. The four corpses rapidly stored and blood dissipating in the water, they made their way in the town once again.

Unfortunately, they didn’t come across any of his men. But as the near the inn Buddle had spoken off, they hear shouting voices.

“Captain Baggy, someone had stolen the Grand line map!”

“Don’t shout at me your moron, and go after the thief!”

“””Yes, captain Baggy!”””

‘There you are Nami.’

As the two hid, a young girl with fiery orange hair run passes them, soon followed by three men. As the vanish further at a corner, they came out of their hiding post.

“Go after them, save the girl if need, I will take care of Baggy treasure, we will reunite at the ‘pet food’ shop we crossed earlier.”

She only nods before bolting after the four.

All on his own, Alex creep closer to Baggy hid out, entering the inn/bar soundlessly, he slit the throat of three other pirates eating there, before spotting the still wide-open door were they had stocked their treasure.

‘Really, I know your one of the strongest here, but no guards whatever? You ask for being robbed.’

Looking at the staking gold coins, chalices and crowns made of gold, he absorbs the whole in his storage, transmutes two chests, pouring all the coins in one and the rest in the other. Id heist down, he stealthily exits the room before closing the door and vanishes by a window in the back.

While Alex was cleaning Baggy badly acquired treasure. Kuina had caught up with the fleeing young girl and the three stooges. Drawing her blade she cut the last one down, making him scream, before slumping on the ground in a rapidly growing puddle of blood.

Hearing the scream, all three other stop and look behind. Seeing her chance, Nami immediately vanishes out of sight.

“You, what have you done?! Don’t you know we are… Hhhaaaa.” The nearest pirate crumbles after being cut down by Kuina.

“You?!”

But the third didn’t last much longer. While sheathing her blade, she hears clapping above her. Looking around, Kuina sees Nami on the railing of a house on the side of the street.

“You’re rather strong! My name is Nami, my speciality is to rob pirate…” Start here with a smile.

“Those scums are weak that all. On this, I have other things to do.” Not minding for the other girl to finish her introduction, she made her way to the shop to rejoin Alex.

“Wait!” Yell Nami, jumping from the railing before running after her. “Wouldn’t you make a team with me? A girl team to rob pirates?”

“Not interested, Once we cash on Baggy head we will move on.”

“We? Are you already with others? Are you pirates hunter? How about…”

“Captain, I’m here.” Once again cutting the girl Kuina look around, spotting Alex petting a white-furred dog, applying some kind of paste before wrapping some band on them.

“Here you are buddy, good as new!” Said him while giving a light pat on the dog head.

“Woof!”

“Don’t mind it. Oh, your here Kuina? Good.”

Alex POV

Just after exiting the building, I hear hurried footstep stomping on the wooden steps, before a pirate yell.

“Captain Baggy, someone had stolen the treasure!”

“Again?! Whose flashy bastard dares to robe me twice in a day?! Morge, come here!”

“I’m her captain.”

“Take your bloody cat with you track down the bastard, I want my treasure back.

“Yes, captain.”

‘Seriously, I just stole your treasure after you were stolen and you won’t move your lazy ass?’

-That or he had great feat in his man.-

‘…’

-…-

‘Hahahahahaha.’

-Hahahahahaha, yes, even I couldn’t believe it for a second.-

After waiting for the man to exit the inn, I take my rifle and Shoot Richie, only for him to doge at the last moment, the bullet still grazing his fur and drawing some blood. Turning immediately angry, he pounces at me, leaving behind a blue spot that must be Morge. Storing my rifle, I bolt at the lion, cooking a fit back, I strike it in the face.

To my surprise, he stays in place a second before being overwhelmed by the blow and lunched in the open area above the inn. Crashing on some people judging the screams.

Looking at the ground, I see that Morge had been knocked out by striking his head on the doorstep. Unwilling to lose any more time with them, I made my way to the ‘Petshop’.

Once there I could see Shushu, with some wound, probably made by a blade, seeing the straight cut. Sitting next to him to wait for Kuina, I take some meat stolen from the Marines. One of the rooms near Morgan has been transformed into a small kitchen, and I was to guess, the bastard surely had some soldier made his meal their to not has to eat with the common folks.

Sniffing the offering slightly before taking it, he happily munches on the piece of meat. I take some balm taken from the infirmary, and start to apply it on is cut. While I’m not sure it a good thing to put human-made antiseptic on animals, they seem to be strong er that in the other world I have visited, so he should be fine.

“Here you are buddy, good as new!” He let his piece of meat to bark. “Woof!” “Don’t mind it!”

I was wrapping the cut with bands when I hear her.

“Captain, I’m here”

“Oh your here Kuina? good.”

##################################

Nami last few days haven’t been that great, after stealing some bottom-barrel crew of Baggy from they last heist, she had made her way to the main group, wanting to rob them clean, before exchanging the treasure for money.

‘Just a few million and everyone will be free.’ Biting her lips, and holding up her tears, she wipes her eyes, before smiling.

“Yosh, the last pirate before I came back, after that direction Grand Line! There should be so easy prey there and allow me to finish to gather the money in one time!”

Stealing the map she hears of was easy-peasy, stealing all that gold wouldn’t, so rather than take the risk to been caught, she exits the room, making sure to be seen.

‘Once they know I had the map they will send few after me, after losing them I can return, saying that it was all a test, those dump pirates should fall for it and let me enter their crew. After that, all their gold will be mine!’

“Thief!”

‘Ho, they saw me? Good, time to bail out!’

Like planned some pirates had followed her, but before she could lose them, she was taken down by a girl not much older than her, but way stronger.

‘If I had someone that strong with me, I could even turn in some pirates!’

But her thoughts crashed down she the other pointedly refused to speak to her. Unlike any male their, she couldn’t use her charms on her.

As she was following her, she came across her partner. While she hadn’t time to think about romance, Nami was a healthy young woman, as such she did have some attraction from the other sex. Until then she had always come across pirates, and their objectionable corporal hygiene, if not for their repulsive appearance. Pirates weren’t known to be the cleanest in the sea after all, not those in the blues anyway.

She did feel herself blush seeing the fine specimen in front of her, even seated he was tall, a large mane of crimson red hair and soul-piercing green eyes. Is gentle slime while taking care of the injured dog might have also given him some bonus point in her books.
