He slowly opened his eyes, but immediately as his opened eyes got hit by sunlight.
'Cursed sunlight, I should destroy the sun when I get the chance now that I think about I have Horuseus destroying the sun sure will get easier, hehe.'
"What are you smiling about?" Nojiko asked as she saw him smiling like a fool.
"Good morning Nojiko well, hehe, I was thinking about destroying this hateful sun." saying that he gave Nojiko a morning kiss.
"Now isn't that a bit too much." she said with a bright smile on her face after getting her morning kiss.
"It's not like I would have done that just yet." whispering the last part that Nojiko could still hear, but she just laughed it off.
"So hows your progress on your weapon?"
"Why would you ask me that? Don't you know how my "weapon" is faring?" he said to her in a teasing tone causing Nojiko to blush when she understood what he meant.
"Now you are the hateful one, not the sun." she said while turning her head to the side, not wanting to look at him right now.
He just smiled at her act, so he just complied with making her happy, so he gently took her chin turning her head towards before kissing her on the lips.
"You gonna forgive me now, or are we going to continue acting?" he said with a slight smirk.
"Hm, I don't know, maybe? Or should we act a little more and see how far this might go? But before that, so how does the weapon making go?" she said slightly seductively before asking him seriously.
"Well, I haven't gotten anywhere with that, but my best bet would be to pick the Gunblade I told you about."
"Yea, It was that sword with the inbuilt gun in it?"
"That one."
"I'm with you there your safest bet might just be the Gunblade, but you can just change it later if you don't feel that it's the right weapon for you." she told him what she thought after thinking about it.
"You might be right, I will listen to you, and I can at least try it, so what did you say about that continuing the acting?" he asked her while slowly kissing her neck.
"Ah...You bad boy taking advantage of this weak...Ah...little girl that can't defend..Ah...herself from your advances."
"So, that's what you are feeling for today, so are you ready?" he stopped kissing her neck and looked at her face with a smile full love and affection.
"Mhm" she nodded and smiled back at him with the same amount of affection if not even more."
----1 month away from them----
"WOOOHOOO." a young man in a straw hat excitedly screamed while swinging himself on the top of the mast.
"Calm down, Luffy, and get down from there before you hurt yourself again." said a seemingly irritated young woman.
"But Nami, we will soon reach Sabaody Archipelago, and after that, we will be all set for Fishman Island I.." Luffy couldn't finish his sentence before a loud voice came.
"Nami~swan and Robin~chwan dinners ready~." a man in a blue business shirt said with hearts in his eyes.
"Eh? Sanji, where's our food!?!?!?" Luffy and a small cute reindeer both shouted.
"Oh, you guys are here, I didn't notice you well then if you are hungry, try checking the trash can as I think there are still some leftovers from yesterday in it." he turned his head towards them and said annoyedly.
"Come on, Chopper, let's jump him."
----Alexander and Nojiko----
"It's been some time since we had this fun in bed, hehe." he said with long and deep breaths from exhausting while gently caressing Nojiko's long blue hair.
"Mhm" she just quietly nodded while just laying there on the side of his chest.
So they just laid there for a while without thinking about anything and just laying there in the relaxing moment they have right now.
"So what do you say should we leave our love nest as we have been in here for the past 3 hours." he said with a teasing smile on his face.
After taking a quick shower together and spending some "extra" time in there before putting their clothes back on but just as they were about to go down a big explosion could be heard nearby.
*BOOOM*
"What was that?" Nojiko was the first one to say it.
"Let's go and take a look." saying he quickly runs with Nojiko towards the sound of the explosion.
When Alexander and Nojiko left the bar, they saw over a hundred pirates coming towards the bar, and when the pirates got a few meters from Alexander, and Nojiko the pirates stopped.
"Oh, what do we have here, one handsome young man and a lovely little flower." a rough and raspy voice came from behind the pirates it wasn't before the pirates made way for the man you could finally get a clear look at the person before them.
A muscular 2 meters tall man with a decent yet rough looking face that didn't look that ugly compared to all the other pirate captains you usually hear about he's shirtless with just some loose karate pants came forward.
"Oh, my apologies, I seem to have forgotten to introduce myself my name is Bruce, but the call me Bruce "The Alligator Man"."
"Now that I get a closer look at you boy, I think I have seen your face on a wanted poster before, and if my memories don't deceive me I think they call you "Golden Eagle"." he said with seemingly no bad intentions that you could read from his face.
Alexander, hearing his nickname he didn't get angry this time as he finally seemed to get used to it.
"Yes, captain, that's the birdman with 400m+ bounty that destroyed all those warships in Enies Lobby and slaughter Commodore Yarisugi." a noisy pirate said with pride when he helped his captain.
"Hm, that's quite remarkable for someone that recently just started, but sadly it will end here as you have been killing a few pirates that belonged to my crew, and I can't look away when someone is destroying my reputation." Bruce said with anger finally showing on his face.
