The Chronicle

Chapter 17

Right in the morning, we all gathered at Naguri Coast. Then Naguri cut off the rope that being holding the road for the ship to the sea, making the ship went to the sea. We all grinning at the scene as Naguri said, “Thank you all. Without your help, this ship wouldn’t be done now. I really appreciate it!”

“It’s okay Naguri-san. We hope you found your crews.” I said and smiled.

“Oi Naguri. Are you really going to set sail now?” Sabo asked.

“Yeah, but before that, I want to see your training results. Go and hunt that giant tiger now!” Naguri said, making the boys grinned.

“Really?!” Sabo said.

“I will certainly win and ends this stupid training!” Ace said.

“The one whose gonna kill it is me!” Sabo added.

“I won’t lose too!” Luffy said.

I giggled at their behavior. “Well then, Takao, Flame, Naguri and I gonna watch you guys from a cliff. Good luck guys!” I cheered them and grinned.

As all of us walk, the boys’ team and Naguri’s watch team parted ways. As we arrived on the cliff, I saw the boys were already arrived in front of the jungle, with their weapons in hand. Though, Luffy didn’t bring anything for weapons. He preferred to use his fists than any weapon, same with me.

After a few moments, I finally heard a loud growl and the cracking trees, birds were flying away.

“It’s coming.” I said softly as I kept my attention to the scene. The giant tiger was coming, slowly approaching the boys.

“There we go!” Naguri said as he saw the scene, Flame and Takao were barking and cawing in the process. The tiger growled loudly, but neither of us flinched, the boys were doing the otherwise. As the fight between the boys and the tiger started, I suddenly fell asleep without any warnings.

But after ten minutes or so, I woke up because of loud growl of the tiger. I sat up and rubbed my eyes before focusing back to the fight.

“Oh, Eri-chan, you finally woke up.” Naguri said as he saw me sat up, I just hummed at him for an answer. Weird, I never knew I got a narcoleptic attack. Probably it’s because of my sleep schedules.

Apparently this time, the boys were cooperated to attack the tiger, which making me to chuckled at it, they eventually won by cooperating. I decided to jump down to approach them along with Takao and Flame. I skidded down from the cliff and eventually landed safely. I walked toward them as they ran approaching me.

“Eri! You see that? We won!” Luffy exclaimed as he bounces off.

“Yeah, you guys are awesome. Though, I slept half-way through of you guys fight.. Still, it’s awesome! Great job guys!” I complimented them, they grinned at me as I complimented them.

The six of us went to Naguri before all of us walked back to Naguri Coast to look him set sail. We waved our hand as he set sail; he waved back before he looked forward as he getting further.

“Well, he finally set sail, eh?” Sabo said as he put his hands on his hips.

“Yeah, I hope he meet his nakamas.” I said as I put my crossed arms behind my head. “So, who wants free foods from High Town?” I asked them with grin, they grinned back before the four of us grabbed our pipes and ran off.

After all of us ate-and-dashed, we eventually stole some stuff, and of course, the boys got foods while I only stole wallets and valuable stuffs from the nobles and some normal people. We ran off before the policemen got us, which making all of us snickered as they stopped chasing us and we’re getting far. We finally arrived at our tree house and plopped down on the floor, we all laughed, satisfied for our earnings.
