"We still haven't found anyone...." Muichiro thought to himself. "Luffy ran off somewhere....These two are here....Also, these dormoids followed us... What a hassle...."
"Where did Luffy go, do you know?" Zoro asked the crowd.
"He probably went after Captain Usopp, he was so angry..."- One of them answered.
"Do you know where they might be?" asked Nami.
"Most likely on the shore.. Captain Usopp usually goes there to think when he feels bad," another replied.
"Where's the other one who was with you? Isn't he running there?" Muichiro asked and looked towards the village. He noticed two signatures and couldn't ignore them. One of them was running towards them, and the other was very strange.
"Yes, that's him.. Well, as usual, it's going to sound the alarm right now," said the first one.
"ALARM! ALARM!" he shouted and ran as fast as he could.
"Well, as always," the first one continued.
"Alarm! There's a strange guy in the village walking backwards," said a third man after catching his breath.
"YOU'RE delusional!" they said in unison.
Muichiro only noticed the strange man who was actually walking backwards. Usually, such people aroused suspicion in Muichiro. Therefore, he kept a katana scabbard in his hand just in case.
Zoro noticed him too and didn't do anything. He had seen such people at sea more than once. A typical psycho from the village.
This strange guy approached them backwards and turned to the children.
"Hey! I'm not weird at all," he replied to them.
"STRANGE!" they replied in unison.
"Are you a local?" Muichiro suddenly asked.
"Y-yes. Do you want me to show you a trick, kids?"- he answered uncertainly and tried to change the subject.
"I'm into hypnosis, so I want to show you one of my tricks."
Muichiro didn't take any action, but he also noticed that the man was nervous, probably trying to lie.
He'll figure it out later, but for now....
He did not pay attention to this man, he was busy thinking about the next steps. They will need to leave this island, stock up on food and go to the next port. Maybe they can buy a ship there. He still has gold left, just for that.
Muichiro was so oblivious to what was happening that he did not see the trick from Jumbo and how he and the children passed out.
Thirty minutes passed. Muichiro learned from Zoro how to make money. For example, they could rob or catch a pirate, for whom a huge sum is set. As soon as we heard about the money, we also joined the conversation. It was interesting to chat with them until Usopp ran past them.
"Did Usopp come alone?" Muichiro thought as he stood up.
"Something is not clean here... Hey, guys, show me the way to the shore," Muichiro asked the children.
When they reached the edge of the cliff near the shore, he felt another aura below. She didn't move. He looked down and saw a familiar face. He immediately went down to Luffy.
"Mui, where are you going?" Nami asked, seeing him easily jumping off the cliff, Zoro and the children also followed him and carefully climbed down.
"He's alive... just sleeping," after briefly explaining the situation, Muichiro took out Luffy's head and pinched his nose so that the air wouldn't get in and he would wake up abruptly. What Muichiro expected happened. He woke up and jumped up abruptly.
"Hey, why did you hold my nose? It doesn't matter though. Haha, I finally got enough sleep! Luffy asked, yawning.
Muichiro walked away and asked the only question that was on everyone's nose. "What happened that he fell off a cliff?". Luffy briefly told them the situation.
"I see.... I didn't like this monkey with glasses right away, so there was a second one, and a few more will follow the second one. It doesn't matter though.... I'll just be able to sink the ship with moon breath or knock them out in a split second.Or...." while Muichiro was thinking up options for his victory, the three children were gone.
After Muichiro came back to reality, he only followed Luffy and the others. Along the way, they wanted to come up with a plan, and Muichiro told them not to worry. And he explained it like this:
"Usually innocent villages are attacked by ordinary weaklings, but I also know that the strong attack the strong. This is a simple truth, remember that. We won't have many problems with these people...".
And this logic was true, in the world of Van Pease, this is really how it happens.
They found Usopp talking to the children. He lied again that it was a joke.
Muichiro didn't get into it like the others.
After that, they found a place on the shore where Usopp was healing his wounds, and told them why he did it. How he loves the village and would like to protect it.
The guys spoke out about helping Usopp.
"Are you with us, Mui?" Zoro asked.
"I told you... Don't worry about it.... I can make sure that they don't reach the shore..." Muichiro replied.
"Is there a way to stop them without going out to sea?" Usopp asked.
"Just trust me..." Muyi replied and continued, "But we also need to take care of those monkeys with glasses... That butler is really quite a headache.".
The plan was simple. Muichiro meets them on the shore, and the guys go to rescue Kaya.
The next morning:
"Come on!! Hurry up! We have a big catch today! Our captain promised a big haul! Come on!" said one of the pirates.
"CAPTAIN! SOMETHING IS FLYING TOWARDS US!"- shouted the man from the nest on the ship.
*Slash*
The huge moon disk quickly hit the ship and cut it in half.
It was Muichiro's enhanced moon breathing.
The disk could change shape according to Muichiro's wishes and cut through even such massive structures, and it still reached a short distance by his standards. He needed to find a way to overcome this limitation.
After seeing the sinking ship, Muichiro put away his blade and turned around to walk away towards the large mansion. He finally tried out his improved technique and was pleased with the result.
He hoped it was over before it had even begun. But I noticed that the same butler was standing in front of the exit.
"It looks like I won't have to look for you, because you came here on your own," said Muichiro, who wasn't even holding the handle of his katana. It was still in its sheath, all because he wanted to try out another technique that affects the physical world. He had already tried out some of his power on that clown from Orange City. He could suppress people with his will. After a while, he learned how to influence this world.
"You ruined my plans.... What a shame... It doesn't matter though... You won't be able to stop me..." the butler didn't have time to say.
"Yeah... Maybe you can tell me your plan again. Preferably very short. We're in a big hurry," Muichiro replied dryly and asked. He didn't give a damn about his empty words as long as he stood in front of him. He was already impatient to finish everything with a single effect on his brain. Thanks to the transparent world, he had him at gunpoint. So defenseless and fragile.
The butler was annoyed and wanted to make a move, as he was struck by something invisible.
His body just fell unconscious, and his brain was smashed.
"You're all the same. You've never underestimated me, and now you're lying in front of my feet. Know your place," Muichiro thought to himself.
When Muichiro appeared, he saw an unpleasant picture in front of him. His comrades were bandaging his wounds.
"You didn't seem to be in a hurry, Mui," Zoro said tiredly.
"That guy with glasses, where is he?" The little one asked.
"Don't worry, I've already solved this issue. His body is lying on the coast," Muichiro said and decided to rest for a while.
While Muichiro was resting after the victory, Usopp decides that the news of a real pirate attack may affect the peace of mind of the villagers. Therefore, he orders everyone to keep it a secret, to which Kaya and his team agree. Kaya, realizing that the imprisonment in her house and the death of her parents was the cause of her illness, thanks the Straw Hat Pirates and gives them the Sailing Merry ship. Usopp is grateful to the pirates, he has gained confidence and is disbanding his pirate crew, and he is going to become a real pirate.His luck helps him when Luffy invites him to join his team. With a new nakama and crew member, as well as a ship, the Straw Hat Pirates leave Syrup Village and continue their journey to the Grand Line.
