The Explorer of the Universe

Zoro and Tanaka decided to separate when they left the gun shop.

Tanaka again strolled through the city with two swords hanging on his right and left waist.

Swords that carried positive energy were placed on the left waist and those with negative energy on the right waist.

As she was stopping in front of a shop selling food, Tanaka listened to the voice of the conversation.

"Sengo, looks like we've got a new employer."

"Employer? I haven't accepted it as my employer, Honjo!"

Tanaka looked to the right and left to see who was speaking it. But he did not find it.

"Who was talking?" Ask Tanaka.

"Oi, oi, Sengo, it looks like this master of ours can hear our voices!" Honjo.

"No way, there's no way ordinary humans can seem to hear our voices." Denying Sengo.

Tanaka again heard the voice and he immediately turned to see who was speaking it, he even looked down thinking it was a child.

But he didn't see anyone talking about it.

"Look, Sengo, he can actually hear our voices!" Honjo.

"No way! Why can he hear our voices?" Ask Sengo.

Tanaka began to feel frightened because the voice of the chatter was still being heard.

"Why this? Why did I start hearing voices of people talking but there was no form of it?" Tanaka Mumbles.

"Hey, you!" Call Sengo. "Are you really able to hear both of us?"

Tanaka began to close his ears so that the voice would not be heard by him again. He did not know that the voice appeared in his mind, not through his ears.

"Master, don't be afraid, we won't harm Master." Honjo said with great honor.

"Who is that? Who's talking to me? Show me your form!" Tanaka.

"Master, the two of us are the swords that Master carried." Answer Honjo.

Hearing that made Tanaka instantly look at her waist. He immediately took out the two swords.

"Are you guys talking about this?" Ask Tanaka.

"Right, Master, I am Honjo and next to me Sengo." Answer Honjo.

Honjo is a sword with black algae with a sword blade that is quite bright. While Sengo is white but solid black.

Tanaka was surprised because he could hear the sword talking.

"How can I hear your voice?" Ask Tanaka.

"We both don't know, Master. We've never had an employer who could hear both of us." Answer Honjo.

"Hey, man, don't expect you to be able to use me! If you don't want to be made crazy by me" threatened Sengo. "I haven't recognized you as my master yet and there hasn't been anything I've acknowledged as a master since our first master."

"Sengo! Say it politely! Don't be like that with our new master." Honjo Pinta.

"I told you that I haven't recognized him as a master!" Sengo.

Tanaka just silently heard the conversation of the two swords and then started talking.

"Okay, so what are you guys? Why can you talk like this? Can all swords talk like you two?" Ask Tanaka.

Hearing himself being equated with the other sword, made Sengo angry. "Don't equate us with other swords that are just ordinary swords!"

"Sengo! Can you be a little polite, even though you haven't acknowledged him as a master, he's still our owner." Honjo said, commemorating Sengo.

"Our master, he could have thrown me or you away so that we would be separated for so long until we could finally get together again in that place." Honjo.

Sengo just kept silent no longer spoke. Honjo later apologized for his colleague's attitude towards Tanaka.

"It's okay, I can tell you, I'm not going to throw either of you, just calm down." Tanaka.

Of course Honjo was relieved and Sengo still did not speak.

"So can you explain who you are? Why can you talk?" Ask Tanaka.

Honjo begins to explain about the origins of the two of them. They were created by different forgers, though,

"I was made by a forger named Murasame while Sengo was made by a forger named Muramasa." Honjo.

"Although we were both made by two different forgers, but we were created at the request of our first master, Kenshin Hatori." Honjo.

Hearing Kenshin and Hatori makes Tanaka remember the legendary ninja from the Iga clan who always appear in films or stories related to ninjas.

Kenshin is the MC of Samurai X.

"But there is no way Hatori and Kenshin are said by this sword to be Hatori and that Kenshin! The two of them are characters with different stories" Tanaka thought.

"Master, know about master Kenshin?" Honjo asked in surprise.

Tanaka was also surprised because he said that in his mind, not in speech.

"How do you know I'm thinking about that name?"

"I can hear the Master's mind." Answer Tanaka.

"What's? How come?" Tanaka was surprised.

"No idea, but indeed we can hear the voice in Master's mind." Answer Honjo.

Tanaka who heard that immediately changed the conversation mode to mind form because he had seen some people passing by nearby looking at Tanaka with a strange look.

"So does Master know about Master Kenshin?" Ask Honjo.

"I do know, but it seems like it's a different person to the one I know, Kenshin and Hatori it's the name of the owner of two different people instead of one person." Think Tanaka.

"That's so ... " Said Hanjo who sounded disappointed.

"Yhmmp! You are useless!" Said Sengo who started talking again and was still being rude.

Hearing Sengo's words made Tanaka feel very upset. He felt he had to teach a lesson to that haughty sword.

"I can accept that you don't want to make me your Mast, but your attitude is long I can't stand it anymore." Tanaka thought with a tone of intimidation.

"I'm really going to throw you where you can't possibly be found anymore, you'll be alone there forever if you still don't change your attitude!" Threatening Tanaka that makes Sengo no sound anymore.

Of course Tanaka can do it easily because he is an explorer of the universe who can go to the entire universe with just one blink of an eye.

Honjo immediately apologized for his colleague's attitude and pleaded not to separate him from Sengo.

Hearing Honjo pleading like that made Tanaka sigh. He just wanted to teach Sengo a lesson in his attitude, not really going to throw it away.

Even so Tanaka did not tell Honjo that so Sengo could learn from his no manners was a mistake. With that threat, Sengo will improve his attitude.

Tanaka then returned to walking while chatting with Honjo regarding his story before it was in his hands.

Sengo was silent and Tanaka did not question it. He only considers Sengo as a boy who is a dozen years old, the age of rebellion.

During a walk while chatting with Honjo, Tanaka was unaware that he had reached the town square of Loguetown.

Right at the execution site, Tanaka saw that there was a person standing there facing the crowd below.

"That must be Luffy." Said Tanaka who was walking near the execution site.

"Who's Luffy?" Ask Honjo.

"He's a straw hat pirate captain, I'm his crew." Answer Tanaka.

"Master's a pirate?" Ask Honjo.

"Yes, don't you like pirates?" Ask Tanaka.

"I have no problem with pirates because my previous Master was also a pirate, even my previous Master was also a Marine, I've moved around a lot with various Masters who run different professions." Honjo.

Arriving below the execution site, in the midst of a crowd of Loguetown residents or tourists who came to see the stage of the execution of a very historic, Tanaka listened to the sound of Luffy's screams.

"Wuhooo~ so this is the sight the Pirate King saw, and then he died." Luffy said on the execution stage.

"Hey, look above the execution ground!"

"Who is he?"

"22 years ago, huh? The Pirate King died here!" Luffy.

"Hey! You're up there! Get down now!" Said a policeman through a loudspeaker.

"Why indeed?!" Said Luffy looking down.

"It's a historic building protected by the World Government! Therefore you should get down from there immediately!" That police order.

"Come on, why are you interrupting my fun, Uncle Guard?" Asked Luffy who was a little upset.

"If you don't come down I'll catch you! I'm coming!" Said the policeman but suddenly someone hit him with an iron mace.

"You must wait your turn, old man." Say a woman wearing a cowboy robe and hat.

"That woman, if not one of Luffy's first opponents, what's her name?" Tanaka thought as he looked at the woman with that pretty face.

"Master knew him?" Ask Honjo.

"Not really, but I know him, just I forgot his name." Answer Tanaka.

"That means you don't know, stupid!" Sengo said suddenly.

Tanaka just ignored Sengo's remarks because he already considers Sengo as a boy who is in a period of rebellion.

"I'm looking for you, Luffy. It's been a long time, yeah. Don't tell me you forgot my face." Say that woman.

"What kind of beauty is that!"

"Beautiful!"

"Truly an amazing woman."

"He's like a silk flower!"

The men around her were fascinated by the beauty she had.

"I don't think I've ever met anyone like you. Who're you?" Ask Luffy.

"I'll never forget it. You were the first man who dared to hit me." The woman's speech sounded like a masochist candidate.

"I hit you?" Ask Luffy.

"At that time, the power of your punch.it was really painful. Who do you think is the most beautiful woman in the ocean?" Ask the beautiful woman.

"Okay, fix! That woman is masochistic!" Think Tanaka.

"Of course you are, miss!!" Say everyone.

"She is indeed beautiful but still less beautiful than Hancock and the princess of the fish-man kingdom. If juxtaposed maybe he's nothing." Thought Tanaka who imagined Hancock and the princess of the fish-man kingdom.

"Yes, it was me! There is not a single human being in this world who does not bend the knee to my beauty. I also like strong men. You should be mine, Luffy." Obviously that woman.

"Shut up! Not want! Who are you?!" Said Luffy who was getting upset.

"You still don't remember it?!" Ask the girl.

Then some police came to surround the woman and also the stage of execution.

"Police! Hey you ladies over there, come with us! You blatantly hit the police, you're under arrest!" The police inspector.

"And you there, get down from the execution ground!" The police inspector's order.

"Oh, who do you want to arrest?" Say that woman.

"Of course you are!" Police inspector said.

"Just do it if that's what you want." Say that beautiful woman.

"I-Inspector, I can't do it, she's too pretty!" Said one of the police.

"What if she's beautiful? Catch her!" Said the police inspector who was also tempted by the charm of the woman, but still trying to keep his duties as a police officer.

"He's like my dream!"

"Thank God then!"

Suddenly the fountain in the square exploded and debris from the fountain flew towards the beautiful woman.

"The shreds will hit him!"

But the fragment was not about the beautiful woman.

"What's going on?"

"The fragment of his garden was slipped by his body!"

"What just happened?!" Ask Luffy.

'This is gonna get interesting.' Thought Tanaka with a grin.

"Isn't that dangerous, dear?" The beautiful woman asked a man wearing a cape with a headscarf, but there was a slight red color right on his nose.

"Alvida? Where is Alvida?" Ask Luffy who is looking around for Alvida who in Luffy's memory is a fat and pimply woman on his cheek.

"I'm here, you blind boy!" Said the beautiful woman who was none other than Alvida with annoyance.

"Don't joke, you don't look like him at all." Said the confused Luffy.

Tanaka laughed seeing the comedy performed by Luffy was the same Alvida.

"I can become what I am today by eating the devil's fruit. The name of the fruit was the devil fruit Sube Sube. When an attack hits me, this body won't be hurt or scratched in the least." It was clearly Alvida who unfolded her robe so as to display most of her skin on her upper front.

Only the part of his chest that he covered with bikini clothes.

"It's a shame, but I have to say that I can't be prettier than this. What she saw once the change was that the spots on my body had disappeared." Alvida said by displaying her charm that makes the men immediately behave like Sanji.

"No, that doesn't change what I think at all." Deny Luffy.

"I was reborn. And I joined this man." Alvida.

Buggy and his men then took off their hooded robes.

"My revenge will be done soon! Monkey D's. Luffy, when you threw me that time, I already decided to take revenge!" Shouted Buggy.

"But to do that I have to have a partner who is the same fate as me. It was a really exciting adventure! For a weak-hearted person like me, to be laughed at, to be treated badly and to be bullied." Said Buggy who recalled his adventure when he only had heads, feet and hands in various places.

"That's the heartwarming adventure of the little Buggy! But Buggy now..Why don't you say anything?!" Ask Buggy.

"What's? Especially now? Boggy's? No, Buggie? No, but Buhii. Oh yea! Buffoon, huh?" Said Luffy trying to remember Buggy's name.

"Hahaha~" Tanaka's laughter that was released because he could not bear to see the comedy that Luffy did.

"Is the master captain such a fool?" Ask Honjo.

"It can be said that way, but I think he's just a plain young man." Think Tanaka.

"Buffoon, you say?! No kidding! You're still as annoying as ever!" Buggy said furiously.

"He's Buggy the Clown!"

"Pirate-Pirates!"

"There's a Buggy Pirate!"

"Run, save yourself!"

"Call Marine!"

The residents panicked and ran away to save themselves.

"The good city! Don't run to see me! This time I'll show you the real terror and you'll have to be the witness." Buggy's remarks kept some people staying because there were some who were curious about what would happen next.

"I remember, you're Buggy, yeah!" Said Luffy who just remembered Buggy's name.

"How long do you remember?!" Said the upset Buggy.

"Look, the behavior is quite entertaining, Honjo?" Tanaka thought with a laugh.

"Hmmm~ I don't feel that way, Master." Answer Honjo.

"Attractive what? He's just a fool!" Said Sengo who suddenly joined the chat.

"Eh, there's a spoiled sword apparently, I think it's gone somewhere because it doesn't make a sound." Thought Tanaka wanted to tease Sengo.

"Who is that spoiled sword!? And how can I go? You still hang me on your right waist." Said Sengo who was angry.

Tanaka just smiled and returned to look at Luffy who had been shackled by Cabaji.

"What's this?" Said Luffy who locked his head and both hands.

"During the meeting, Rubber Man. Is Roronoa Zoro okay?" Ask Cabaji.

Tanaka looked at the already rather dark sky, indicating a storm was coming.

"It seems like it's time for me to leave this place?" Think Tanaka.

"Go? What about your captain, Master?" Ask Honjo.

"Yumpp! You wimps! Captain, you're in trouble, you're looking for safety!" Sengo.

"Without me, he can protect himself, even if he acts like that, Luffy is very strong and he will become the pirate king." It was Tanaka who walked towards the pier.

"Him? Pirate king!? That's impossible!" Sengo rebutted but Tanaka ignored him because it would only be a waste of time and energy serving Sengo who behaved like a spoiled boy.

Tanaka had to take a little effort through some of the city residents or tourists who still gather in the square because they want to see the show made by Buggy.

"Yosh, good job, Cabaji!" Said Buggy who was standing on the execution ground.

"Look! Millions of people of the world! A public execution is about to begin! Monkey D's. Luffy, you won't be able to escape your execution ground." Said Buggy with pride and passion.

"Extsecution! This is my first time seeing an execution event! Who was executed?" Ask Luffy.

"The executed was you!" Shouted Buggy annoyed.

"What's!? No kidding!" Shouted Luffy in shock.

"You're always kidding yourself!" Said the upset Buggy.

"You should be honored, Mugiwara! You will die at the execution site of the Pirate King!" Said Buggy who laughed loudly.

"The Monkey D Pirates. Luffy, I will charge you for the crime of laughing at my misfortune and has made me angry. You are sentenced to death! Fire your guns!" Said Buggy who gave the order to his crew firing their pistols into the sky.

The sound of gunfire sounded earthy because of what Buggy's pirate crew was doing.

Meanwhile, Tanaka was finally able to get out of the crowd and he immediately met with Usopp and Sanji who were carrying a big fish on the shoulders of the two of them, who were carrying a big fish, Nami was carrying a bag of clothes and Zoro was carrying only three swords.

"Oh what a coincidence that I met you guys, we have to get out of here as soon as possible, it looks like there's going to be quite a storm coming into this town, isn't that Nami?" Ask Tanaka.

"True, we must get out of this city as soon as possible, before the storm comes!" Nami Strictly. "But how do you know Tanaka?do you know anything about meteorology?"

"No, I just feel like there's something weird in the sky up there." Tanaka said as he pointed towards the already dark sky and let out frightening sounds.

Usopp who heard that immediately wanted to leave, but Sanji and Zoro wanted to find Luffy first.

"Ah, if it's Luffy, he's there." Point Tanaka towards the execution stage.

The four of them immediately looked towards the execution, looking at Buggy and someone who was being shackled in their hands and head.

"Isn't that Buggy?" Ask Zoro. "What's he doing?"

"I didn't see Luffy on the execution stage, where was he?" Ask Sanji.

"It seems, Buggy will execute someone." Nami.

"Who's that poor guy who put it in?" Ask Usopp.

"The poor guy Buggy's about to execute is our captain, Luffy." Tanaka replied which made the four of them surprised.

"I'd like to find you two soon, Zoro, Sanji to free our captain." Tanaka.

He immediately asks Nami and Usopp to return to the ship and prepare for departure while Zoro, Sanji and himself will rescue Luffy.

Meanwhile, on the execution stage, Luffy tried to release the pair with various efforts that he could do, one of which bit the wood used as a fitting tool.

"Let go of me, you brash! Help me, help me! Ah, no!!!" Luffy.

Buggy was ready with a sword in his hand to cut off Luffy's head.

"I'm sorry, I won't do it again. Forgive me." Said Luffy who had resigned.

"I won't forgive you, fool!" Said Buggy who was smiling happily.

"This is the recompense you must receive for making us your enemies." Cabaji.

"So this is the end of my search all along." Alvida.

"And what's the last word you want to say?" Ask Buggy. "We also have a lot of spectators here. Well, it seems like you can't say anything anymore because you're going to die!" Buggy.

"I'll be the Pirate King!" Shouted Luffy.

"Pirate King, he said?!"

"Says like that in a place like this..."

"What kind of words are they..."

"It's time to put an end to all this, isn't it? Fucking rubber boy." Say Buggy.

"This execution will be cancelled!"

Zoro, Sanji and Tanaka stood behind the crowds of both citizens and tourists.

"Zoru! Sanji! Tanaka!" Said Luffy who was happy when he saw the three of them.

"You're really careless! Isn't your joking it's gone too far, Luffy?" Ask Zoro.

"If we're in a show, it's my turn to perform." Sanji said by posing cool while lighting his cigarette. "It looks like we're getting guests of the pirates of the past, huh?"

"Pirate Hunters, Roronoa Zoro!"

"Luffy, was satisfied to feel how the pirate king was executed back then?" Ask Tanaka.

Townspeople and tourists instantly paved the way so they could see Buggy's pirate crew making a semicircle in front of the execution stage.

"Sign! Zoro! The tanaka! Save me!" Luffy said with a smile, there is no fear at all with his condition.

"Is that all you want to say, Zoro? But you're too late!" Buggy then raised his sword high to cut off Luffy's head.

"Destroy the execution ground!" Sanji said while running with Zoro and Tanaka to destroy the execution site but they were detained by Buggy's men.

"Honjo, can I use you?" Think Tanaka.

"Please Master, use me all you want, but I can't kill a master opponent, it can only hurt." Answer Honjo.

Tanaka was confused to hear that.

"What does that mean?" Tanaka asked as he ran and pulled Honjo out of the scabbard while Sengo was not touched at all by Tanaka because Sengo had not allowed himself to be used by Tanaka.

"I was created with a blade that was blunt but visible to the naked eye was very sharp like a sword in general, so I could not kill any living thing, he said, it can only injure so that the master's opponent cannot move anymore." Honjo.

Tanaka was happy to hear that because he had no desire to become a murderer.

"Try to stop me! This captain of yours will end up in my hands!" Said Buggy who had moved his hand to chop off Luffy's head.

The three of them get fierce resistance from Buggy's pirate crew so they can't get close to the execution stage.

"Damn it!" Shouted Sanji who was panicking. "If only I could kick that stage down" Sanji thought.

"Come down and fight me, damn it!" Shouted Zoro while slashing some of Buggy's pirate crew. "If only I could slash that stage ... " Think Zoro.

Meanwhile, Tanaka fights using force power and Honjo in his right hand.

The body training during the journey towards the city of Loguetown had made his body not as stiff as before he trained his body.

Although he just swung Honjo haphazardly, but it was quite successful in making the Buggy pirate crew fall down in pain until they could not stand up anymore.

"When did the lightning come? Will this be any different than the story?" Ask Tanaka.

At that moment Luffy smiled and called out the names of his crew one by one.

"Zoru! Sanji! Usopp! Nami's! The tanaka! Excuse me. I'm gonna die." Luffy said with a big smile.

"Don't say it like that, stupid!" Shouted Sanji who was panicking.

Tanaka who was looking at the sky instantly felt relieved. "Finally come too! Why so long!"

As Buggy was about to decapitate Luffy, suddenly lightning struck that destroyed the execution ground and made Buggy go dumb.

While Luffy is fine because he is a Rubber Man.

After the lightning that struck with the dashyat power on the execution stage, it rained heavily.

"I'm alive, yeah! I'm doing fine! Thank goodness I lost so. I thought I was gonna die there." Luffy said as he put on the straw hat that had previously flown over and fallen into the rubble of the execution stage.

"Thank God you're safe, captain." Said Tanaka who approached Luffy after making Buggy's pirate crew unable to move anymore.

Tanaka and Luffy then approached Zoro and Sanji who were talking about something.

Suddenly there were many Marines who came like a bunch of bees coming out of their hives because there was something bothering them.

"People square immediately! Don't let the pirates escape!" Shouted the commander who led the Marine soldiers.

"They're here?!" Sanji.

"Great! A big battle, yes! It's great! Really great!" Luffy.

"Luffy!" Call Zoro who's holding Luffy's collar.

"Oh, Zorro!" Luffy.

"

Don't just stand here! We have to leave!" Zoro.

"If we don't get back to the ship soon, we won't be able to leave the island! Then we won't be able to go to the Grand Line!" Sanji Clear.

"What?! Then we should leave now!" Luffy.

The four of us ran away with Luffy in front of Sanji on the right, Zoro behind, and Tanaka behind the three of them.

Their position somehow forms a diamond.

The four of them continued to beat up the Marine who was blocking them while continuing to run.

"Let's go to the Grand Line!" Shouted Luffy.
