The Explorer of the Universe
23

The sky is quite bright, Luffy and back sailing on the ocean to the island where Nami, Usopp, Zoro and Johnny are located.

It's been two days since Tanaka and Luffy left Baratie's restaurant.

"Good weather! Is the Grand Line far away from there?! Or there?! That's here?! Or here?! Really fun!" Said Luffy who could not keep quiet.

"That's noisy. Sit down and shut up." Sanji said in annoyance.

Sanji has joined after she previously rejected Luffy's invitation while awake from his sleep at Baratie's restaurant.

Sanji's merging with the members of the straw hat pirates begins with a farewell drama performed by the chefs and Zerfs.

Zerf and the chefs act to let Sanji walk away from the restaurant saying his homemade food is not tasty, always fighting with male customers, teasing women and things they consider bad.

Although they do such acting only because Sanji wants to leave, in the end Sanji finds out and finally accepts Luffy's invitation to join as his pirate crew.

"Sorry! Pardon me! But finally we have a chef, now just take Nami back. And we're going to the Grand Line!" Said Luffy who was very happy and smiled happily.

"What are you happy with like that? Even though there's Nami, there's only six of us." Said Sanji who was sitting quietly while leaning his body to the inner edge of the ship.

"You're sure, we're ready to enter the Grand Line with only six people? Just look at what happened to the pirate Krieg who had 50 ships, but only seven days on the Grand Line were instantly smashed apart." Sanji Clear.

"Don't underestimate the Grand Line!" Yosaku Sahut.

However, Luffy did not listen to Sanji's words. He was just thinking about the interesting thing that happened in the Grand Line later on.

"When in the Grand Line, I will gather more crews because the Grand Line is heaven." Luffy.

"Heaven? Isn't the Grand Line the place for pirate graves?" Ask Sanji.

"Before we leave, the old man tells us that some people say that the Grand Line is heaven." Luffy replied with a smile.

"Old man talking like? Whatever is important Nami, just imagining her beauty makes me happy! I can't wait to see him again!" Say Sanji with blushing cheeks while smiling.

Tanaka looked at Sanji who was like that with a flat face. Sanji then realized I was staring at him.

"What?!" Sanji asked with a flat expression as well.

"Stupid playboy!" Answer Tanaka.

"What! You want to fight with me?" Sanji asked angry.

Tanaka sighed, he would rather not respond to it and just stare at the ocean.

"Hey, don't ignore me!" Shouted Sanji. Angrier.

Meanwhile, Luffy who ignored Tanaka and Sanji's quarrel, he asked the passengers other than the two of them.

"Hey Yosaku, we're almost there where Nami is, right?" Ask Luffy.

Yosaku returned to Baratie's restaurant after the pursuit of the Going Merry was unsuccessful. He is told by Zoro to drive Luffy and Tanaka to the island Nami is visiting.

Of course, Yosaku returned to Baratie's restaurant by swimming. Even though it was already quite a distance away from Baratie, she still continued to swim until not caring about the killer whale, Orca had swallowed a part of her body.

"Three of you are too naive! Too naive! Don't you guys understand that?! Soon we will arrive at the place of a man named Arlong! Nami's eyes at that time were completely glued when she saw the Arlong poster! He's not like usual! Nami's sister plans to capture Arlong and take his fugitive prize of 20 million berries! He might have already entered Arlong's headquarters!" Yosaku.

'No, you're wrong. Nami was precisely a member of the Arlong Pirates due to force but it would be over, as we would definitely make her join us by defeating Arlong!' Think Tanaka.

"Let's eat first." Luffy.

"I'm hungry too." Tanaka.

"Yes, nothing for you, Tanaka." Sanji.

"Currently, playboy cuddles!" Said Tanaka who then stared at the ocean.

"You didn't listen to my words!" My Yos said that wept because it was ignored.

Tanaka, Luffy and Sanji really did not listen to Yosaku's explanation of the place they were going.

"Don't tell me, the three of you haven't heard of Arlong?!" Ask Yosaku.

"Arlong? Who's that?" Ask back Sanji.

"I don't know." Luffy said casually.

Hearing that, made Yosaku drop his jaw.

"I know." Tanaka made Yosaku smile. "Arlong is a fish man, right?"

"Fishman?" Ask Sanji.

"Fish man, huh? I've never seen him, is he edible?" Ask Luffy who equates fish humans with fish in general.

"He's not edible, captain!" Answer the sweetdrop Tanaka.

"I heard, the fish-woman on Fish-Man Island in the Grand Line is really pretty!" Say Sanji with lope-lope eyes.

Tanaka who saw Sanji's behavior like that just sighed.

'Well, it is true that the princess of the fish-man kingdom is indeed very beautiful! I admit it." Think Tanaka.

"Is the fish man like this?" Said Luffy who knew when he had already described humans and showed them his ugly image.

"It's not a work of art!" Say Sanji while laughing looking at Luffy's picture.

"What kind of horrible creature is that? What is a sea monster?" Ask Tanaka.

"Are you serious or not?!" Yosaku said fiercely. "Well, I'll explain from the beginning about the place you're going to, the Grand Line.

"The reason why the Grand Line is called the Grave of the Pirates is because there are three forces there. And one of them is the seven sea warlords!" Yosaku.

"What's that?" Ask Luffy.

"To put it simply, they are pirates who are recognized by the world government and work for the world government." Yosaku.

"What the fuck? Are there any government-sanctioned pirates?" Ask Sanji.

"By paying the Government using the money they got from other pirates, they could be recognized by the Government! In the eyes of other pirates, they were nothing more than Government dogs, but they were extremely powerful! Even the eagle-eyed, Mihawk who defeated brother Zoro was one of the members of that group!" Yosaku.

"That's great! There are seven people like him?! The sea warlord is great!" Luffy said excitedly.

There is no fear at all. For him it was a very interesting thing.

"So, one of the group also had a fishman, his name was Jinbei who was the leader of the Sun Pirates whose members were all fishmen." Yosaku.

"He who put a dangerous pirate in the East Blue is Arlong!" Yosaku.

"That guy's like this?" Said Luffy while showing the picture again.

"What difference? You just made a picture of you standing on your feet!" Sanji.

"Arlong has controlled more than 20 cities since coming to East Blue! He's even stronger than Don Krieg!" Yosaku.

"But, why would Nami-san want to capture her alone?" Ask Sanji.

"I told you, no, he's after his head prize!" Yosaku.

"It's possible that Nami-san herself is a mermaid. How beautiful she is!" Said Sanji with a red face.

"What about this?" Say Luffy while showing him another picture this time coupled with hair

"I'm killing you too!" Sanji said fiercely.

"You two actually understand or not what I told you earlier?!" Ask Yosaku.

"Yes, there's a strong fishman, right? I understand!" Luffy's.

"He doesn't understand at all." Thought Tanaka was sweetdrop.

"No, you don't understand! You don't even know how powerful a fishman is!" Deny Yosaku.

"Strong or not we can see later, no need to worry." Luffy said casually.

"Oh yeah, let's eat first." Take Sanji while standing up.

"Yes, eat!" Luffy.

"What do you want to eat?" Ask Sanji who is preparing to cook in the cabin of the ship used versatile.

"The flesh is still attached to the bone!" Answer Luffy.

"I want to stir-fry some beans!" Answer Yosaku.

Sanji looked towards Tanaka and asked also about the food the man wanted.

"I got it too?" Ask Tanaka.

"Hey, I'm not that cruel as to make people, let alone my comrades go hungry, so hurry up to eat what?" Ask Sanji.

"I'm seafood fried rice." Said Tanaka who was smiling a little.

"All right, leave it to me! I'll be right back!" Sanji said and went into the kitchen.

"It's so good to have a chef!" Luffy said happily.

"That's right!" Yosaku Sahut.

"Meats, large size meat!" Luffy.

"And stir-fry a large portion of beans for me!" Yosaku.

The two of them danced happily while Tanaka just stared at the ocean thinking about what would happen on the island where Nami, Usopp, Zoro and Johnny were.

"Will this be the same as the story or change? After all this is the real world not the world in manga or anime, although what happened until now is the same as the story made by Eiichiro Oda." Think Tanaka.

"Let me see it too!" Say my Yosaku who does not want to lose.

Very quickly, Sanji had finished cooking the four-menu meal. They all ate their own food.

Tanaka eats very quickly, like people who don't eat more than a week.

Tanaka knew what was going to happen in the next few minutes. When based on the story he remembered there would be sea monsters that came because they smelled the smell of food made by Sanji.

"You're so great, brother Sanji! The spices are really good!" Praise Yosaku.

"I'll make some more delicious food for Nami." Sanji said and drank the wine.

"I wish we could eat with Nami and the others!" Say my Yosaku who constantly eats his food non-stop.

"We'll be reunited with our navigators! He's going to the Grand Line with us!" Luffy said the same as Yosaku.

My son took the remaining meat. Tanaka had finished my meal since five minutes of the meal served and he was wary of the surroundings.

"That's mine!" Said Luffy who immediately stopped Yosaku from taking the only meat left.

"You ate it, right? Let me eat too!" Speak to Yosaku who will not lose.

"But it's mine!" Luffy

"Let me eat it!" Yosaku.

"No, give it back to me!" Luffy.

"Let me eat it!" Yosaku.

Then the two of them were chasing after the meat.

"Stop your commotion!" Sanji said fiercely. "You want to make me fall for this wine, yes!"

Sanji was instantly speechless, as if realizing something, whereas Tanaka had been on high alert since he was done with his meal.

"Shut up for a minute!" Pinta Sanji then looked at the water.

Tanaka did the same.

"Something's down there." Sanji.

"And it's something big." Tanaka.

Yosaku and Luffy also looked at the water and at that moment suddenly appeared a very large cow but had a tail and fin from the water.

"What's that?" Luffy.

"Sea monster!" Yosaku.

"It's cow! So big!" Luffy.

"Cow? Cows cannot swim. That's a hippo, right?" Ask Sanji.

"Why is such a monster in East Blue?! It was a creature of the Grand Line!" My Frantic Yosaku.

"This thing is bigger than I imagined." Think Tanaka.

"What is he doing?" Ask Luffy.

"He's after our food!" Answer Yosaku.

"What?" Ask Luffy who directly protected his food.

"Hurry and give him food! Our ship can be overturned by it!" Pinta Yosaku is panicking.

Ignoring Yosaku's words, Luffy instead dealt a blow to the sea monster.

"Don't try touching my food!" Luffy's.

"Why did you hit him?" Ask Yosaku who is panicking.

The sea cow monster looked angry.

"You're making him mad!" Shouts my frightened Yosaku.

"Do you want me to hit again?!" Asked Luffy who was preparing to deliver a second blow but then he got kicked by Sanji.

"Basic stupid! Don't beat up a hungry creature! He may be injured and unable to find food on his own. Right, right?" Sanji.

"Truly full of love." Praise Yosaku to Sanji.

"Here, eat!" Said Sanji while thrusting a large meat on the sea cow monster. "No need to be sad."

The sea monster then opened its mouth wide, wanting to swallow Sanji as well.

"Just kill you!" Said Sanji while kicking the sea monster.

Yosaku dropped his jaw while Tanaka laughed at that but also felt sorry for the sea monster.

"What are you doing?! What about your love?!" Yosaku said fiercely.

"That brash monster was intending to eat me too." Bela Sanji's.

Then the sea monster appeared again and looked very angry.

"He's coming! He's so mad! He's gonna sink our ship!" Yosaku panicked.

"Bad!" Said Luffy preparing to hit the sea monster but was stopped by Sanji.

"Go back, let me do it." It was Pinta Sanji who gave the bottom kick of the sea cow monster and made it fly into the sky until the end fell back into the sea.

"It's a pity, but he's too outrageous, it's because he's too pampered by Hachi." Think Tanaka.

"Well, let's eat again!" Luffy said casually.

"Booking is also for heating." Sanji.

"They're completely crazy..." Yosaku's sweetdrop.

"That's them, they're both more monsters than sea monsters." Tanaka.

Then the sea monster reappeared with fear, wanting to escape but was stopped by Sanji and made it as a towing ship to quickly get to Nami's place.

"Yahoo, that's fast!" Shouted the excited Luffy.

"Abang Luffy, I can see it, Arlong Park!" Yosaku.

"Go to Arlong Park! Wait for us, Nami!" Shouted Luffy.

Not long after, Arlong Park was clearly seen.

"That's it, Arlong Park! Hey, don't slow down, cow!" Luffy's orders.

"I thought Sanji's kick hurt him!" Yosaku.

The sea monster suddenly turned towards the small cliff.

"Hey, our destination is there! Towards the building!" Shouted Luffy while pointing at Arlong Park.

"Aaaaaa~ we're going to hit land!" Saying my resigned Josh while crying.

The sea monster hit the cliff so hard that it knocked him unconscious.

In addition, the impact of the collision of sea monsters with the cliffs made the four of their ships fly high.

"We are flying into space!" Luffy said with excitement.

"It's not like anymore!" Yosaku Shouts.

"We're flying, you idiot!" Shouted Sanji.

Tanaka held the edge of the ship very tightly. It felt like he was on a rollercoaster ride.

"We're falling!" Yosaku.

The ship landed on the ground, but still continued to glide.

"Mainland succeeded!" Luffy said, then he saw someone in front of our ship. "Ohh~, Zoro!"

"Luffy!" Said Zoro who was surprised.

The ship hit Zoro and then hit a cliff until the ship was smashed into pieces.

"We made it!" Said Luffy while cleaning his straw hat.

"What are you guys really doing?!" Ask Zoro.

"Whatchu mean? Of course bring Nami back. Have you not found it yet? Oh yeah, what about Usopp and Johnny?" Ask Luffy.

"Nowisopp? That's right, there's no time to babble here!" Zoro said in panic.

"What's up?!" Said the confused Luffy.

"That fool has Arlong arrested! We have to hurry before he's buggy!" Zoro's words were cut off by someone.

"He was murdered!" The screams of Johnny suddenly appeared in front of them.

"What?!" Zoro was surprised.

"We're too late. Usopp's brother is dead! He's been killed Brother Nami!" Said Johnny which made them all surprised.

Tanaka was only speechless to hear that because when based on the story, Usopp did not die.

"But it's the real world, so it's possible that things don't go along with the story." Think Tanaka.
