In all the free time he had in his hands, Yuta went through the One Piece Manga, at least trying to complete the Alabasta arc.
He had enough time on his hands, there was hardly much to do on a ship. The novelty of a cruise trip ware of faster than he believed it should have been.
Half of the reason why the constant logicless banter between the crew members of Straw Hats.
It was fun in the anime but when your captain jumped around like a monkey on the deck and shouted for meat more times than he could care to count.
Anyway, back to the real trouble about reading Manga among these people was to keep it hidden.
Though people like Luffy stay farther away from anything related to studying, even if it's a comic book, there are people who get attracted to him like Ace, who was still keeping an eye on him, wasn't hard to say that much.
Both Ussop and Chopper were a little too clingy honestly. Especially when you befriend them.
At least Nami, Zoro and Sanji weren't making it tough for him.
So with the limited time when he wasn't getting sworn by half of the idiotic side of the crew or getting the suspicious look from the other half. He somehow reaches the point where both Luffy and Crocodile are about to fight.
That was when Going Merry finally reached the eastern part of the Alabasta.
"We are here…" Shouted Luffy with enthusiasm bubbling inside him.
"We notice… thank you for telling us anyway." Yuta rolled his yes. But this little jab at the captain didn't draw any ire, almost everyone, even his brother had accepted the fact that Luffy could be annoying at times.
"So where you are planning on going from now on…" Ace asked, almost sounding like he didn't want Yuta to stay there for long.
"First Yuba and then Rainbase… Half of the problems in this country are caused by the rebels.
Though I can't say whether they are right now their approach or not but as long as those rebels are pressuring the capital and the king, things not gonna improve.
So, before even fixing the main problem of drought, I will solve the problem of the rebels." Yuta nodded, now armed with the cannon knowledge, he knew where the Straw Hats would be going so he wasn't under much pressure, as long as he stated his location first, it would be seen as they were following him….
"Yuba you say, we are also going there…" Nami said with a small smile on her face, at least now she wasn't frowning at I'm anymore becuase not getting any money out of Yuta.
"Oh, that something, seems like our paths are still tied together for a little longer." Yuta smiled back and then moved on to keep up with the rest of the crew.
One good thing about the crew was that they never asked about his past, they hardly preyed on his past. It was a breath of fresh air.
This was far better than both MHA and JJK World. He still remembers how that damn raccoon in MHA world (Nezu) introduced him and even bring a living Lie detector.
And JJK world wasn't behind either, there he had to go through much of an interrogation session just like MHA world, though it was still better and only happened when he first appeared there.
He at least somewhat understands what they did due to his resemblance to Yuta and his strange powers.
But here, both Ace and Zoro were highly suspicious of him, not even once did they try to pry information out of him.
Yuta respects them for that. But still, Yuta found travelling with them almost borderline self-torture.
At firs,t the goofy personality and environment were really interesting to Yuta but later on, it just started to grind onto his nerves.
Soon the time of Ace's departing came, this is up to where Yuta have read so far. Just didn't get time along this troublemaker to read his Manga. A Manga about them.
Ace gave Luffy a paper, though by this time the real use of this thing wasn't described but Yuta knew that was a Vivre Paper. At least he remembered this due to his own curiosity when he read the story for the first time, alas he mostly skipped the majority of the parts just to get over with this never-ending anime.
'Should I tell him to avoid Blackbeard ?' Yuta muttered to himself, however, he knew that Ace not gonna listen, if he wanted to listen then he long would have listened to Whitebeard.
Pursing his lips, he pondered whether he should go with Ace, that was the best and sure sort way to make sure that Ace remained safe.
However, he wasn't his nanny, and he had his own thing to do. He can't help but sigh at his, really there was nothing else that he could do right now.
Maybe take out Ace secretly here and take him to Whitebeard.
'HMMM… actually that's not a bad idea. But again I can't leave Alabasta without solving the quest, and keeping this troublesome brat here will be hard.' Sigh.
Shaking his head, he just let go of the matter, there is really nothing that he can do right now.
'Whatever, I will just save his ass when time comes. If I stay here still then that is. I also should contact Whitebeard now that I am here anyway. He is the best person to learn the shock power. And why I am at it, I rather also check out whether I can use Haki… Follow current novels on novelꞁire.net
So with that, the Straw Hats and Yuta send Ace off. Though while going, Ace gave him a look, a look which clearly showed that he was suspicious of him. But have no proof against him and the fact that Yuta kinda help him on the way. Like taking care of those pirate ships and providing food when those monkeys steal their food and water, even now Ace is not sure how he got those items out of thin air, but he atleast believe that Yuta had no bad intention towards his brother and that was enough.
"See you in the new world Luffy…" Ace smiled and then walk away.
