After being so mentally exhausted, he just walked back to the ship to get some rest.
So after getting back to his room, he just went straight to bed, he was so exhausted, so he fell asleep almost instantly.
When morning came, he woke up feeling a lot better.
Alex: 'I needed that sleep.'
He continued his routine before walking back towards the ship after reaching the place he looks at the explosion holes and sighs.
Alex: 'I still don't feel too good being here, but I have calmed down a lot with all that time I spent questioning myself it was either them or me, but who knows what would have happened if I didn't have Vulcan Horuseus out.
'Well, there's no need to think deeper into this or I might just go crazy with all the possibilities let's just get this over with so I can start going back to Nojiko I miss her very much.'
But that was easier said than done because no matter how fast he wanted to get over with these feelings, he couldn't wholly suppress them.
After going around the whole ship Alexander found what these people most have been working with, it seems like the slave traders and he found some belly they had in the ship after counting everything he had collected a little over 7 million.
Alex: 'I thought it would be a little more, but who cares? I needed the money. Either way, I still need to figure out some stuff with my Beys before going back.'
So after getting everything to the ship, he continues his training for two days he didn't use Vulcan Horuseus much does days because he wanted to check if Earth Eagles ability to use shockwaves and supersonic waves was like Whitebeards tremor-tremor fruit.
But he didn't get very far he could cause smaller-scaled tremors in the earth but nothing special other than that he just bonded with his Beys he felt that every time he strengthed his bond with them, there was some off feeling like he could feel the Beys feelings, but it was more than just that.
{AU: Can you feel the love tonight? just jk}
He didn't want to dwell on it any longer if it turns out its something he will find out in due time.
After getting everything ready to get back to Cocoyashi Village, he then begins to set sail.
--A few minutes before Alexander reached the island--
Right now, outside her house, Nojiko was just standing there watching the sea seeming to wait for something.
Nojiko: 'When will Alex get back I miss being around him I haven't had this much fun being around another person other than my sister.'
After standing there for a few minutes, she begins to get cold, so she wanted to get inside.
But just when she wanted to turn around, someone hugged her from behind, and she screams in shock.
--Alexander POV Before This--
When Alexander reached the island, he docks the boat and goes directly towards Nojiko's house.
After running a while, he gets there, and what he saw was something beautiful it was like the most beautiful painting. That ever has existed; you could even say far beyond that.
It was tough to describe what he saw. It was like that thing you see or eat and can't precisely explain what it is.
He later got back to reality, but this scene is something he would remember for the rest of his life.
So after getting back to reality, he saw Nojiko looking over the ocean with a somewhat sad look on her face he felt quilty somehow even though Alexander didn't know why he did feel a little guilty.
Alexander noticed that she still hasn't seen him, so he reveals a playful smile and sneaks towards her and hugs her from behind he heard her scream he laugh a little before whispering gently.
Alex: "Have you missed me?"
After hearing Alexander's voice, she seemed to calm down.
Nojiko: "Idiot, don't scare me like that. I almost had a heart attack, and of course, I have missed you."
But the latter part was more a whisper, but Alexander could still hear it because he was so close.
He laughs, hearing the first part but later smiled, hearing the last part.
Alex: "I'm sorry for scaring you. Do you want to go back in?"
He tried to release her from his hug, but she didn't. She grabbed his arms so he couldn't remove them, but before he could ask her why she gently said.
Nojiko: "Can we stay like this for a little longer, it's relaxing being in your arms."
Alexander got completely stunned, hearing her say that last part, it was something he didn't expect, but after a few seconds, he just smiles lovingly.
They stood there for a few minutes together, staring out towards the sea while Alexander was holding her dearly.
Nojiko turned her head, looking at Alexander's face with a gentle smile, and he smiles back.
Alex: "Do you want to go inside?"
Nojiko: "Yea"
When they reached the door, Alexander opened it so Nojiko could go in first, but when he was just about to go in, she closed the door right before him.
Alexander just stood there for a moment before registering what happened as he did that he could hear Nojiko giggling from the other side of the door before she said in a playful and mischievous voice.
Nojiko: "Not so fast, aren't you a little hasty?"
Alex: "Come on, Nojiko, don't do this. I just wanted to go in I didn't even think of doing anything like that to you."
Nojiko: "So now, I'm not good enough for you to make you think like that?"
If you listen carefully, you could hear Nojiko on the other side trying to hide her laughter, but it didn't work that well.
Alex: "No, no, Nojiko, you got it wrong, of course, I think like that about you all the time."
It was when Alexader said that Nojiko couldn't hold her laughter anymore and just let it all out.
Alexander could hear Nojiko laughing from the other side of the door. It was at that moment he knew he got played.
Alex: "Oh, Nojiko, when I get you, I promise I will get you for this."
Alexander quickly runs to the back of the house to get the backdoor before she notices.
Nojiko: "What do you mean you will get me you can't even get in."
Nojiko: "Alex, you still there?"
But she didn't hear anything from him, so thought it was weird.
Nojiko: 'That's weird, did he leave? Wait, he couldn't have?'
It was then Nojiko remember that they had a backdoor, so she quickly turns around to get to the backdoor, but as she turns around, she saw that there was someone behind her.
Without further notice, she screamed and tried to run when she saw that it was Alexander.
He didn't let her run off, so he grabbed her by the waist and thrown her over his shoulder and walk toward the living rooms sofa.
Nojiko let out a small yelp when she got thrown on to his shoulder.
Nojiko laughs while screaming.
Nojiko: "Let me go I didn't do anything I'm innocent."
Alex: "Oh, Little Nojiko, don't play the victim here when you knew the consequences for what you have done."
When he reached the sofa, he gently threw her to it when he looked down towards the couch with the laughing Nojiko laying there on the couch it was something out of this world it was something Alexander never imagined he would see.
When Nojiko laid there on the couch looking up towards Alexander, she got a little scared for what might happen.
Nojiko: 'I don't think I'm ready for that right now we only met a few days ago.'
But Alexander never wanted that to happen right now. It wasn't the time or moment for it, so he went closer to her towards her face when they were only a few centimeters from each other's lips.
Alex: "Nojiko, I hope you are ready for what's about to happen."
Nojiko: "No, I'm not ready for that right now."
Before she could say anything else, Alexander began tickling her, and she just started laughing.
Nojiko: "No, no stop. I'm sorry, please, no."
She couldn't almost build any more words with all the laughing.
Alexander began laughing with her and continuing for a little longer before stopping.
The stared into each other's eyes.
Before going into a last fit of laughter before sitting down on the couch in each other's arms and staring out through the window, they just sat there staring before Alexander gather up his courage to ask her.
Alex: "Nojiko, I have a serious question to ask you."
Nojiko turns her head, staring earnestly into Alexander's eyes.
Alex does the same thing before continuing.
Alex: "What I'm asking you might be a little bit sudden, and what I'm about to ask you might change your life for good depending on what you answer.
"So Nojiko, would you like to follow me out towards the sea and explore the world together with me? I know it might be a little too much I'm asking.
"I know you like it here, and you have many friends and other people you love on this island, and by following me will bring you great danger.
"So what it is I'm trying to say is do you want to join me on my adventure?."
Alexander stared into her eyes, trying to figure out anything.
When she heard what he asked her, it was like she already knew what it was, he was asking her.
Alex: "You don't have to answer me, rig..."
But before he could finish what he wanted to say, Nojiko kissed him, and after a few seconds, she broke the kiss and looked at him with a loving smile on her face.
Nojiko: "I would love to do that."
And after saying that, she continued kissing him.
