World Traveler - Chapter 17

Aizen was presently laying on a sun lounger while bathing in the sun light. He would from time to time take a sip from the fruit juice in his right hand.

The life of a marine higher ranking was a relaxing life, pirates would run away at the mere sight of the navy flag. The warship was build with the most advanced technology, there was the better chefs ever along with some beautiful nurses that would inspect their body periodically.

Seriously, why would all those people struggle in the sea and live a life full of running and fear, other than joining the marine and have a good time.

Aizen was still not graduated, yet, he was treated with care and respect. Sengoku personally conferred him with the best warships there, coupled with more than three captains ranks and hundreds of marines that were under his command.

Aizen expected them to throw some tantrum being under a ‘brat’, but it seems that they were very disciplined.

Suddenly, above in the sky, a News Coo appeared with a bunch of newspaper, the ensign hurriedly took some, paid the bill, and passed one news paper to Aizen respectfully.

Aizen opened the first page of the newspaper, and he was surprised.

It was news about the sea train project, and there was even praise about Tom and was hailed as genius.

Aizen sighed helplessly. It was only the start of another tragedy tale.

Turning to the second paper, his eyes corners couldn’t help but twitch.

There was a new portrait of him half nȧkėd waving his sword. What surprised him was the fact that it seems that he already have his own weekly space on ‘Morgan News’ as one of the sėxiest men in one piece, and his pictures were a very good selling product.

‘Morgan, you bastard, you must have gained a fortune!’ Mumbled Aizen with annoyance. to think that his pictures would be this pricy.

“Aizen Sama, The island is on sight!” Shouted a marine ensign from the observatory.

“Ok, stop here!” Said Aizen while ordering them to stop.

The warship soon stopped. The marines on board were having confused look.

Aizen was wearing his White Arrancar suit, the only difference is that there was a black navy symbol in the back.

He looked valiant and imposing to the point that the confused marines didn’t dare to question him.

“This is my own task, it would be cheating if I had to get your help!” Said Aizen calmly with soothing smile on his face, blowing the apprehension of the marines that looked more relaxed now.

They were giving him respectful gazes, even more than before.

Aizen nodded, and soon disappeared from the board of the ship, leaving everyone baffled.

“Strong!” that was the only thought that they had in mind right now.

Aizen footwork was very powerful, he was able to cut half of the distance, about 3 miles in a blink of eye.

“Let’s test ‘that’” Murmured Aizen.

Soon his body turned to photons of light, and he disappeared from the blue sea, only to appear in the sky above the center of the island.

Gazing down, he was able to understand a little.

The Captain ‘Iron Head’, Iron Head Crew Pirates, they were acting like ‘hidden’ royals in this island.

The Captain seems to be a very shrewd and very careful person. Always securing his way out, and have more than one ‘plan B’.

Activating his observation haki, he could feel that there were tunnels underground to facilitate running away or hiding from the marine patrols.

Turning ‘Invisible’, a power that was called upon by his soul force, he easily pass through walls, and approached the base of those hiding pirates.

He ignored the small fries and knocked them out with his Haoshoku silently as he headed towards the big head. The moment he approached, he was surprised to hear the mention of a name.

‘Crocodile’. a candidate that would join the Warlord soon this year or the next. After getting his ȧss owned in the new world by the White beard, he returned back to the paradise to lick his injuries.

The W.G approached him, but he still didn’t give an answer. To hear his name called here was a big surprise for Aizen.

“That Damn Crocodile! To think that he would play us!” An enraged scream could be heard from inside a room.

Aizen entered the underground room, and was surprised again, as he saw one of the most sėxy women in One Piece.

Devil Child – Nico Robin.

“Captain, I still don’t understand, What is that map refer to? One piece treasure?” Asked an idiot looking guy, as he looked towards his Captain.

“More precious! It’s the location of one of the most powerful Weapon in the world!” Said The Captain while his eyes were red with rage.

The Iron Head started talking about The Poneglyph and some secrets that he only knows.

Robin beside him acted clueless, but her ears seems to perk up. Aizen find her actions very cute.

She was about 20 years old, her hair was long and framed her eyes. She wears a black robe with a big white hat in her head.

From the actions of the Iron head, it seems that he wasn’t aware of her Identity.

Robin suddenly stand up, and went out towards a liquor trunk.

Aizen found her actions suspicious, but soon he understood, as she took a purple looking bottled liquid from her magical brėȧsts, and started calmly tending the unaware pirates.

Robin seems to finally able to get the piece of information needed, and this group no longer useful to her.

The same result happened to the others pirates.

Aizen finally felt that a powerful heroine must look like that. She doesn’t need the prince to save her.

And she didn’t finish yet, she took a detonator from her magical brėȧst again, and bombarded the whole base. She already surrounded the whole base with explosives.

None was spared.

As Robin sighed in relief, and was about to leave the base, the sound of clapping could be heard behind her.

Robin face turned pale, and turned hurriedly. In front of her a rather ‘famous’ person was standing there.

He was hailed as the sėxiest marine in the world. She know him very well, her heart skip beat in fright as the thought that the marines surrounded the whole Island.

Her eyes that flashed with myriad of thoughts, only to be stopped when she found out that he was alone.

Calming her mind, she looked towards the teenager that was about 180cm tall.

“How can I help you little boy?” Nico Robin decided to play it safely, but hearing his next sentence throw her in another fit of dismay.

“Nico Robin, Should I call you Robin Onee-sama?” Said Aizen with a teasing tone.

To think that this woman would made his mission that easy. Not to mention, that he didn’t mind help her, he was also curious about the part that they were desperately trying to hide.

“Don’t worry Robin Onee-sama! I mean no harm to you, rather I’m interested in you, How about you join my own ‘Faction’?” Said Aizen with a warm smile, but that only confused Robin even more.

“Little boy, are you mistaking me with someone else? I’m not the one you look for!” Robin forlornly denied.

“If I’m not mistaken, your next step would be looking for Crocodile, you will try to use him, getting closer to your goal : Poneglyph. Am I right?” Asked Aizen again.

Robin felt as if she was nȧkėd in front of the boy that stands beside her. She didn’t even thought of attacking him as she felt she would lose in a second. her intuition as a woman never disappointed her.

Seeing that Robin still silent, he continued.

“I’m sorry to disappoint you, but other than a’ boring’ weapon location, there is nothing of value written, I was there before.” Said Aizen, well he didn’t lie, he saw everything.

“What? you can read them too?!” Robin Lashed at him dramatically as she lost her calm, and her eyes were red as if she was shaken by something. Memories of her past that haunted her.

“Come with me! I will break that curse of yours, I only need your loyalty!” Said Aizen while giving her his hand.

“Loyalty? are you ridiculing me? didn’t you just see how I ended the lives of my own ‘crew’ mercilessly?” She could only see his words as joke.

“Do I look like your own ‘crew’?” Asked Aizen dumbfounding her.

“What is it that you want Nico Robin? Is it protection? I can easily do that for you! History? even that is possible besides me, the question is, Nico Robin, Do you have the loyalty I need to trade this privilege?” Asked Aizen. He was really impressed more and more. She didn’t accept readily which means that she was taking his offer seriously.

If she said yes, ok! He will have to wait readily for a knife in his back.

“How would you Protect me?” Asked Robin with a downcast eyes.

“Take this!” Aizen created a ruby like necklace that was imbued with his Complete Hypnosis. With this necklace she could move freely all around one piece world without being detected.

“What is this?” As an archeologist, she found that the ruby like ornament was quite peculiar.

“I called it ‘Freedom’! with this ruby you can even go to Marineford and no one would know you are Nico Robin” Aizen explained the uses of the necklace to her taking her by surprise.

She was in shock, if that was true, she could follow her passion without fear. Truly a befitting name ‘Freedom’.

Aizen wanted her to act like his secretary, he found the whole ordeal exciting.

Nico Robin moving as she wanted inside the Marine Headquarters, and even getting respected by Justice maniacs.

That would be quite the sight.

Nico Robin was more excited than him, to think that she will be able to rummage all the knowledge hidden inside the marine headquarters and even Marie Geoise.

On the way, Aizen let her test the power of her power on the civilians, and she was excited like a little girl. playing tricks on people. she felt as if she tasted the true freedom.

Aizen hugged her and turned to light shocking her in the process.

That was an Admiral ability, to think that her boss was that resourceful.

She was more and more certain that her boss was a mysterious person that would someday shook the world.

Her woman intuition never let her down.

Aizen took her to the warship, and ordered the marines to fetch up the corpses. No one ask about the beauty in board.

Robin was excited as she was able to ignore the marines without fear of being caught.

The marines hurriedly finished their task, and Aizen also reported his achievement through the den den mushi.

From now on, he will be called Rear Admiral Aizen.
