One Piece: Throne War

Cross visited the sword shop but there was no sword that caught his attention. And he thought 'looking for a good sword in a sword shop is very difficult. I wonder how Zoro can get two good swords in one shop. '

"Cross-san didn't you want to buy a sword in this place?" Pascia asked, looking at the sword displayed in the shop.

"No, the sword in this shop isn't strong enough in my opinion. Let's go Pascia," Cross said, shaking his head and getting out of the sword shop.

"Yes Cross-san," Pascia answered, following Cross out of the sword shop.

Then they both went to the restaurant. When they arrived at the restaurant they were surprised because it seemed this restaurant was a fancy restaurant. While inside the restaurant Cross doesn't see Van Auger. Then Cross asks the waiter "Do you see tall people with weird glasses?"

"No, there were no customers as you described," replied the waiter, shaking his head.

Hearing the reply from the waiter, he began to get a headache. 'Did he make a problem somewhere? Ah, it's up to him what he wants to do. I thought he would come back here if the business was finished. I'd better eat first while waiting for him. '

"Is there an empty table for three, then?" Cross asked.

"Yes, let me take you to an empty table," replied the waiter politely.

As they sat down and looked at the food menu list Pascia began to panic. Because the price of food here is expensive. Then he asked Cross with a stutter "Cross-san here is very ex- expensive food. Ca- can I really order?"

Cross heard this question just smiled because he knew the situation that Pascia had experienced. And he replied with a smile "It's okay, just order whatever you want. I have money so you don't have to worry."

Hearing that Pascia was a little relieved, but her panic did not disappear. Cross saw this immediately saying to the waiter "I'll order everything in the menu list."

Waiters who hear this do not know what to do. Cross then asked "how much should I pay? I'll pay first if you feel we will run away after eating."

The waiter immediately counts it and answers "128,000 berries if you order everything."

Cross took out the money and immediately paid. After calculating the correct amount of money he immediately left.

"What will you do after this?" Cross asked.

"I don't know, I don't have a home anymore and I don't have money. Because after being caught by pirates, I just thought my life would end up as a slave," Pascia answered in a weak voice.

"Hmm, what if you work for me?" Cross asked casually.

"Working for you Cross-san? But I don't have much expertise, I might be able to dance a little" Pascia answered softly. Afraid that Cross will not be attracted to her anymore because she doesn't have many abilities.

"Don't answer it too fast hahaha. Think seriously. If you refuse my offer, I will give you money to live on this island. I might only stay on this island for about two or three days. I have to go to the next island," Cross said.

"Then I'll think about it first" replied Pascia. Not long after that the food ordered arrived. Seeing the food that arrived Pascia was happy.

"Where can I buy steel on this island?" Cross asked the waiter who brought the food.

"You can check port number one. You only have to walk to the port and look for the biggest building there. If you are afraid of misplacing then ask people there. That place is famous after all" replied the waiter while serving food.

When eating Van Auger suddenly arrived. Seeing Van Auger coming Cross only frowned. Because he smelled blood coming from Van Auger. Cross wanted to ask but thought the place wasn't right.

"Sorry I'm late," said Van Auger with his expressionless face.

"Quickly eat after that we go to port number one. I hear there we can buy steel," Cross said.

"Alright" replied Van Auger.

After the three of them finished eating they prepared to go to port number one but Van Auger stopped them "we should go to the inn first, there is something I have to talk about."

"Hmmm, if that's what you want," after thinking for a while, Cross agreed.

The three of them looked for the best lodging because Cross wanted to see good lodging in this world. They went in and immediately spoke to the receptionist "I ordered three rooms for three days. And can I know where the toilet is?"

"The toilet is over there, sir," pointing to the toilet.

Cross goes to the toilet and Van Auger talks to the receptionist to know where his room is and pay for it. After five minutes Cross returned. 'I eat too much ' Cross thought.

"Our room is on the third floor," Van Auger said without expression on his face.

"Let's go upstairs" then the three of them walked to his room. On the stairs, Cross said "Pascia, you also go to my room for a while, there are things I have to talk about. "And Pascia just nodded.

When he arrived at Cross's room, he immediately spoke "Pascia in the future I will be a pirate."

Pascia heard this shocked because the person who saved her life wanted to be a pirate. Cross saw Pascia expression and then saying "in this world, not all Pirates are evil and not all Marine is good. I can explain everything I know if you want to know."

"What do you mean Cross-san?" Pascia asked in a scared voice.

"On the Grand Line, there was a great pirate named WhiteBeard who protected several islands. And made other pirates not dare to approach or do things on the island for fear of WhiteBeard. While the Marine once destroyed one island because it was ordered by the World Government. Even the World government could have killed a family if that family knew the secrets of the World Government. Even though that family was a baby, they would kill it. The world is not what everyone thinks, "Cross said seriously.

"So that's what you mean about not all pirates are evil and not all marine is good. I really don't know what to do after hearing this," Pascia said weakly.

"You can rest in your room, don't come out when we leave. Because we won't be able to protect you," Cross said. Then Pascia left the room.

"What do you want to talk about Auger?" Cross asked.

"I found objects that might be useful," said Auger.

"Did you steal it? Or slaughter a group?" Cross asked helplessly.

"They are eyeing Pascia and yourself captain," answered Auger, explaining what actually happened.

"Where are the items then?" Cross asked a little confused.

"I hid it in a safe place," said Van Auger.

"Let's take the item," Cross said, preparing to leave.
