Trinity: omniverse traveling cat - 126 cleaning east blue

Exiting the bathroom, Alex finally realises that he was naked. Not so much perturbated by it, he looks in his storage for rolls of fabric, when he sees his precious pair of boots.

-Your welcome.-

‘Thank buddy, I don’t know how I would have reacted if I had lost them, they grew on me.’

-I know, you never wore anything else than them.-

‘That dragon hide for ya, sturdy thing.’

Lining the interior with common leather, he transmutes them to his new size, adding a little more of steel on the sole. Thinking for a moment, he opts for large bouffy pants crafted in a thick layer of blue tainted cotton and weaved tightly. While heavy, they would take a beating without any damages. (Think of Ussop pants after the time skip, only in a jean blue colour.) A tight white, sleeve free, shirt that wouldn’t hinder his movement. A thick leather belt appears around his waist, more for his knives, that holding his pant.

Done, he exits the little stone house and goes looking for the worms he leaves outside. As it hadn’t been more than five minutes at most, Ussop was still alive after having the surrounding inward of his wound cooked, but his organs were shutting down one after others and killing him painfully.

Jango was still out cold and Kuro had tried to get away, gritting his teeth while hopping away. He had already made to a good three hundred meter, before falling once again and yell at the pain wracking his body. Appearing beside him, Alex cut his other leg, depriving him forever of is once-proud techniques and encase him in a wooden pillar, leaving only his head out.

Knocking the man unconscious, he brought the two at the side of the house, before gaging the two and cover their head into a wooden box with a small glass panel allowing one to see their face.

He had done the same with Baggy to give him water, it wouldn’t do to let him die, he would lose 30% of the bounty otherwise.

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

Dragging Ussop with him, he soon found the boat Jango had used to came on the island. Looking at the sea further, he could easily see the ship a few miles away when it would be a small dot on the sea for others.

Carelessly throwing the liar in the boat, he starts to rows, moving away from the island. Half-way to the ship of Kuro crew, he kicks Ussop in the water, the salt invading his sensible fleshes and waking him immediately from the pain.

Powerless from the pain, he starts to drown under the cold and unflexible gaze of Alex. Before he could be sure that he had to get rid of his, the waters churning up and a rapidly dissipating red spot appear for few seconds.

‘The sea creatures sure a fierce here.’

-Hum, good riddance, I still quite surprised by the different character he had from the one showed in the manga.-

‘It’s didn’t need of lot to change a mentality. He was fated to be killed either way, but I couldn’t allow him to live after thinking to take who his mine and be the reason that I nearly lost Nami.’

-It was still a fortunate event, without it, you would have lost your power by the time you enter Grand Line.-

‘I was on a timer?’

-No, I could feel something strange from this word, the laws are heavily restricting on grand line, the instant you would have entered those water, be it by the entry or through calm belt, you would have definitively lost it.-

‘Good to know. Let take care of it and be done.’

-What are you doing with them?-

‘Feed the sharks and other creatures, only Jango, and the Nyanban brothers had bounties on them.’

-How much?-

‘7,000,000B for the brothers, 9,000,000B for Jango and 16,000,000B for Kuro, 32,000,000B for them, add the 15,000,000B for Baggy and 20,000,000 for Arlong and it will give us 65,000,000B. That should last us for a time. Knowing that we won’t need to buy the meats, nor clothes it will last us long enough.’

-What about Kreig?-

‘I will try, but truthfully I don’t know. I plan to call Laugh town once Arlong is deal with. From their to Konomi archipelago it will take us around a complete week. Before we quit this island and as soon as I take care of them, I will build our ship’ steering system, nothing complicated, just enough for it to sail. Even without motor, it should be able to keep up with the boats, and with Baggy and that ship sails, I will have enough for mine. I could always work on the inside while it on water.

Since I don’t know when Kreig will appear on the restaurant, I prefer secure Nami island, after that we will free to sail to the grand line when we want.’

-Wouldn’t that rat try something?-

‘He could but I was planning to raid his base from the start, I need to see if I can make my hand on some Kairoseiki. Even without our interference, Kreig will be put down by Mihawk so I am not worried.’

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

As he was spoking with CS, he had been rowing, and before he knows it, he was nearing the ship. Shooting the vigil from where he was, he would be undetected as long as no one look at his direction from the deck.

Once on the side of the ship, he anchors the small boat with ropes on the bigger ship, and climbs by the ropes hanging above the waters, surely left behind for winched it on board. Hiding as soon as he was in, he sweeps the deck with his gaze, only seeing a couple of crews members sitting around a barrel, cards in hand and Berry on.

Creeping closer, he takes his knives as three tails sprout out of his lower back. In one move, two of the men were skewered and three had their neck snapped. Storing all of them, as well as the money, he starts to enter the ship itself, cleaning room after room.

Even if it was still the start of the afternoon, he found a great number of them sleeping inside the ship, having nothing better to do. The few others not sleeping were completely drunks, taking advantage that the captain wasn’t here.

The two that were on a somewhat good shape was the two brothers, only slightly drunken. AS the two were about to pour themselves another mug, their limbs where immediately entrapped in stones. Their reaction, greatly diminished by the alcohol, didn’t save them. Knocked out, they soon suffer the same fate that the three others.

The crew taken care off, he cleans any supplies they had, that to say not that much. With treasure nonexistent and very little money, he returns to the deck. Stripping them before leaving small cuts on their body, he throws them all to the waters, rapidly becoming a fighting prize from sea life form bellow.

Storing the ship after returning to his boat, he rows back to the island. After leaving the two brothers with Baggy, he takes out his ship and starts to work.

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

Starting in the hold, he transmutes the past pillars into the shelves, hidden room, the two staircases that would lead where the towers would be, add the layer of stones that would serve as ballast for the ship, and construct the system that would be linked to the steering wheel.

Exiting the ship, he adds the rudder, connecting it to the steering system.

Done, he starts to inscribe the runes on hand, directly on the steel layer. It how Nami and Kuina found Alex, near an impressive ship.

“Is it our future ship?” Asked Nami excitingly.

Rising his head, he takes a good look at her new features, and stay frozen from a moment, before rising. She was nearly herself after the time skip, only taller and with a little more chest. His tails subconsciously pop out as he takes her in his arms, giving her a passionate kiss.

Surprised at first, she rapidly melts in his embrace, feeling shudders as their tails wrap around the other.

“Are you ok?”

“Yes.” Say her, a soft smile on her face at his worried tone.

“Good, and yes it will. I still have a lot of modification to do on, and inside it but I’m nearly done here.”

“Hum, I bring the four with us. But I didn’t know what you wanted to do with the house.”

“Thank,” Say him, giving another peck on her lips, before separating himself for her.” The house can stay, it can always be of use for someone else. If you can load the four with Baggy? And Kuina?”

“Yes?”

“Could you go to the village, try to gather as much as veggies and fruits you can.” Ask him while taking out 200,000B and giving it to her.” We will attract too much attention to our size, and Nami hadn’t still learned how to control herself.” Say him while stroking one of her tail that was continuously rubbing against him, letting him know that she was in a frisky mood.

“Sure, will do captain.”

“By the time you return, I should have finished here, Nami?”

“Yes?”

“Could you see how much time it will need from Logue town to Cocoyashi? Once deal with Arlong, I plan to exchange them all for their bounty.”

He could see her eyes immediately brightened at the thought of making money on Arlong back, literally.

“Right away, sweetie!” She dashes to her boat, Dragging effortlessly the four dead weight in her trail.

Shaking his head at her antics, he returns to work, rapidly waving around the ship with five runes carving pen in hands and tails. Due to the simplicity of the cluster, he had rapidly mastered the inscribing, allowing him to share the work with his four other limbs.

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

Kuina returns three hours later, dragging a small cart he had a craft for her, to transport the supplies more easily. Being a small village, the amount wasn’t much but would do for them to join Nami island when mixed with the marines and pirates supplies.

As night started to fall, the chose to stay a little longer on the island, the time that star was brightly illuminating the night sky. While the girls had sleep it away after he made the meal, he had transmuted the previous six masts into two larger and sturdier ones.

Transmuting the sail white one again, he finishes to fix them on the ship before they depart.

One on each boat, they take the lead while Alex was following in between them. Once their way made out of the archipelago and they’re current were taken, securing their sailing, he returns to the task. Tearing down the building, three towers raised from its previous place.

The hall soon follows and its second floor added. Made in a single long room, it would serve them as a training room. The larger tower was erect and the steering system finally completed. Done for the night, he sleeps in the very room, just in case the ship would derivate from its course.

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

On the following day, she put the layer of stones slabs on the walkway around the ship. Constructing a kiln on a paved section, he cooks the first batch of ceramic tiles that would recover the towers and hall roof. A third staircase, wrapping around a section of the up-front mast, was added, leading directly in front of the jail he immediately creates.

While layered in thin stones slab, they were soon engraved with the same cluster than the ship. The more their prisoners would strike against them, the stronger they would be. Of course, it had its limit, but for normal men, it would do. After putting thick, engraved bars on, he takes the five prisoners, putting them in.

The cold room was made with a layer of steel, an insulant, another layer of steel and a layer of wood. The cluster engraved, he links them, ready to be powered as soon as the engine was made.

This was the task he works on the very next day. Still missing the needed diamonds to crafts all the batteries, he only creates the engine for now. As the cold room was already linked, it didn’t take long for it to be ready, and all their perishable food in his storage transferred in. The rest was stocked in the shelves on the surrounding.

Done for now there, he turns to their living spaces. The rooms were easily created as it only needs for him to made bed frame and mattress, closet and drawers, with nightstand and dressing table for the ladies. The second part of the day was used in the bathroom. With the already created appliance, he only needs to connect them to the engine.

Testing the water pump, engine’ powered, clear water is taken from the sea and desalinated, rapidly fill the bathtub, already hot.

It was at this moment, that the two were called on the ship, the two others boats stored. Starting from new they would live on the ship, as it was nearly ready.

He uses a par of the fourth day to put the finally ready tiles on the roofs. Taking a look, he nods, proud of himself. The wood of the ship ad been entirely tainted red, the tiles glazed blue, was contrasting nicely with the light grey of the stone on the pathway.

While it was still unfinished, missing the lawn that would be put all around the free space, he did finish their ship. The infirmary was only furnished with the basic necessity now, but once they have their doctor on board, it would be filled nicely. The large space of the tower had been divided in three, the bedding area, a little lab and storage. The drawing room and library were only missing their books and maps and the steering room it links to the other system still missing because of the lack of batteries.

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

Even without them, it didn’t mean that the engines weren’t working. Feeding directly, for now, on the energy given by the moving ship on the sea, the Konomi archipelago and more importantly Kokoyashi was in sight at the end of the fourth day.

During those four days, Alex had also worked on his new form, alongside with Nami and Kuina. Both had to control their new-found strength and power, the last for Nami mostly. Kuina hadn’t been willing to count on them for now, preferring staying with her swordsmanship.

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

“Are you sure, you want it, while your not in Nami’ situation, you need to know that it won’t change anything, you will also be mine. I won’t stop you, but the moment you change, you will stop being human, you will lose certain values.”

“I know, Nami had shared the change she had to see and fill in herself.”

Looking at her age, he knows she wouldn’t change her mind. Nodding at her, he extends his hand, she takes with a slight blush on her face.

As she asked just as he had finished the bathrooms, he suspects that she had waited for this time. Seeing Nami on the side, he called for her.

“You called, sweetie?”

“Kuina will change, I want you to stay at her side while she goes through it, alright?”

“Count on me.” Say her, a large grin on her face while she looked at Kuina, knowing why she wanted it.

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

After that, he had led the two of them to the bathroom, passing by the tower that would be them. He had been happy at their eagerness, that his work was appreciated. Once in the second bathroom, on the third floor, he had bitten her.

Shorty leaving after he sees that the change was happening, he had left them alone, returning working on the ship. Three hours later, Kuina had exited the tower in the large bathrobe he had left to her. Like Nami, she had proudly displayed her body to him and was soon clad in her trademark white t-shirt and jean she had been wearing since their encounter, only at her new size.

Like Nami, she had gained a complete metre, now standing at 2m78, like the orange-haired minx, her body had been greatly enhanced, other than her physical ability shooting through the roof, her small D cup had a breakthrough into a full F, even a little larger than Nami, for her indignation.

With their actual strength, the three would blaze through the out-of-shape fisherman, but Alex still asked.

“How do you want to process Nami?”

“I don’t want to wait anymore, as soon as we land, we raid Arlong park.” Say her, with some tears of grief in her eyes, prompting Alex to take her in his arm. Nuzzling in, she only nods when he tells her the rest.

“I will take Arlong and the small fries, you and Kuina, the lieutenants. But first, we need to take care of a rat.”
