One Piece - Justice Of The Celestial Dragons

Chapter 13 - 13 - leaving Cocoyashi

"I refuse!" Bell-mere declined without thinking twice as she glared at Sylver.

Sylver didn't care that she declined. "Do you really want to decline this fast? I honestly don't care if you decline or accept my offer, as I and my fiancee will leave in a day or so either way. But, I would feel bad if I didn't offer you a 'job'. I'll give you a moment to think about my offer once more, think deeply of your living situation, and your daughters." Sylver had a gentle smile on his face as he spoke, he might not be too familiar with how the Seas are as this is his first time visiting it, he knew that things weren't as safe as in Mary Joa.

Bell-mere fell silent after hearing what Sylver said. She thought that the job Sylver was offering was more like a joke, as she felt like an ant in front of Sylver, Bell-mere knew that he was holding back his strength. And even Sylver's fiancee was very strong, strong to the point of that she could handle most pirates worth under 50 million Berries from the little Bell-mere saw.

It took Bell-mere around 5 minutes before she spoke. "Before I accept your offer, I need to know more about who you are. Are you from the Underworld? Or a Prince?" Bell-mere asked in a low voice, she remembered that he said that he wasn't a pirate or a marine earlier. This confused her even more, and the only thing she could think of was that Sylver was either a Noble in the Dark or Light.

A pressure appeared in the room, Boa Hanc.o.c.k's gaze hardened slightly as she stared at Bell-mere with hostility.

"Stop it, Hanc.o.c.k." Sylver said softly while kissing her cheek. He then turned towards Bell-mere, if it were someone else than her, he might have just left, but Sylver felt that Bell-mere should be a marine that could trusted, even so after her retirement. "I will tell you my name, if you can figure it out from that, then that would be great. But, if you can't, then we can only leave without you." Sylver stood up, his back was straight and his expression turned serious.

"Let me present you myself once again, I am Sylver Von Erzia." As Sylver said this, there was a majestic pressure that gushed out of Sylver, the pressure didn't do anything other than looking majestic.

Bell-mere gazed at the teen in front of her, his presence changed from a normal teen into a King that possibly could rule everyone in the world. Bell-mere felt like kneeling because of his majectic presence, but her mind was trying to figure out why his name was so familiar. It wasn't only after a few seconds that she figured out where she had heard the last name from. Her eyes turned wide open and her body was trembling.

Just as fast Sylver's majestic presence appeared, it vanished as fast too. Sylver sat down once again and held Boa Hanc.o.c.k, he had a small gentle smile on his face while gazing at Bell-mere.

"You... You are..." Bell-mere was about to say something, but Sylver interrupted her.

"I am just a normal man, born from his lovely parents. nothing more, and nothing less." Sylver spoke with a gentle tone.

Bell-mere was breathing heavily, she had finally figured out from where she had heard of the Von Erzia family. It shocked her that she was saved by a Celestial Dragon, and from what she had heard from her collegues in the past, Sylver should be the Genius of this Era that the Celestial Dragons spoke of. Bell-mere fell silent for a minute, thinking deeply of her situation in Cocoyashi, she wasn't poor nor rich, barely managing to live with her 2 daughters. But the cost of letting them flourish would be too much, and she couldn't pay that amount.

After a whole minute of silence, Bell-mere finally said something. "I accept on the condition that my daughters will be provided with whatever they need to pursue their dreams." She then lowered her head slightly towards Sylver.

"Sure." Sylver agreed on her condition without thinking twice, he didn't bother of what price it would cost him to buy the things for her daughters. As he was rather willing to provide things for children to pursue their dreams and wishes. Sylver didn't have too much money in the World Bank in his own personal account, but he also had access to the Von Erzia account too which had a lot of money in it.

"Does this island have a boat that we can buy? As I would like to continue our travel as fast as possible towards Loguetown." Sylver asked while glancing at Bell-mere.

Bell-mere nodded as she answered. "I have a boat that we can use. It might not be the best one, but it can allow us to travel to Loguetown without any problem." Bell-mere thought that there should be a reason why Sylver wants to rush to Loguetown, but after thinking that he was a Celestial Dragon that had fallen from the sky, she thought that Sylver had his things there. And for protection? Bell-mere didn't think that Sylver need protection unless he was facing against the real monsters of the seas.

A day passed by, and now Sylver, Boa Hanc.o.c.k, Bell-mere, Nojiko and Nami were on a rather small boat, sailing towards Loguetown. Nami and Nojiko were both surprised that they were going to leave Cocoyashi, but didn't ask too many questions as they saw their mother being rather serious about it.

Nami got excited either way, as she began navigating the boat with glee. She felt very happy that she could test out her navigation skills. Nojiko and Bell-mere were mainly just relaxing during the trip, making food from time to time.

Boa Hanc.o.c.k and Sylver were both standing on the deck, gazing towards the horizon whilst feeling the breeze.

"This is it." Sylver said in a whisper as a smile appeared on his face. This was a sensation he seemed to like a lot, sailing through the seas.
