Ryumi's Pirates Adventures

Chapter 5 - A free bounty?

After we delivered our unconscious victim to the nearest marine's office and took our bounty, we both left happy to have few more money in our pocket, specially Nami since she find more gold in the captain tent while me I just took some swords that was look not that bad with me.

Even if I mostly want to use a combat stick like Nami I also plan to use a sword as well, since I already have an idea about what kind of weapon I want to create for myself.

And thanks to Nami, I was able to got lot new clothes and raw material at a very nice discount, but I also know that she will certainly ask me a fee as well for helping me to buy all the things I wanted at such a nice price!

So before she has even the time to ask me about this, I suddenly kiss her on her cheeks!

"Thanks Nami for your help!" I said to her while leaving her behind since she was suddenly stunned by my action

"STOP! Don't you think you can just kiss me like that, it will cost you a lot!" She shouts at me few angry

"Ohh really? Then maybe I should need to ask you a fee as well for carrying all of your bags!" I tell her back while showing my wrist where was my bracelet

Since in fact, she also buy lot of things for herself as well before giving me all her bags

"YOU… I should never have saved your life!" She shouted at me while punching me

Thankfully, with the little fight-training I had with the Captain Drabback and his crew, it help me a few to increase my instinct, which make me easily caught Nami's fist.

"Ahh yes, I almost forgot! I never thanks you for saving my life…" For then I kissed her on her other cheek, making Nami becoming all red

"Yo-you… you..." Was muttering Nami

"Okay! Let's go start our training…" I suddenly say while starting to walk to the nearest forest

"Wait me!" Nami says while smiling, for then suddenly start to run behind me

"So how do you plan to train?" Asked me Nami after we find a place to make our camp

"Well, if I am correct, we can awake our haki of observation if someone non-stop attacking us, which normally is suppose to make us able awake it and start to feel our surrounding few by few until we are able to predict the attacks of our opponents and to dodge it!"

"So you want me to keep attacking you during this two months?"

"Basically… Yes! But of course we also need to train our body as well by doing some basic training as well, which is also lot important!"

And so we both start to train ourselves, alternate basic training and spare training, except that I was a black scarf on my eyes while Nami was attacking me from different angle.

During the first week, I got lot bruise on all of my body due to the intense training I was doing, but thanks to my water healing skill, I was able to recover easily, and it even put off my tiredness, which make Nami and I to do even more training.

"Hiro, you said that I maybe awaked to haki of armament, right?" Asked me Nami at the end of our first week training while we were eating our dinner

"Yes right! Today I am not sure how we can train about this, but I think it's something to do with our will and a hard training! Why?"

"Do you think I can also train with the haki of observation as well?"

"Sure! If you also motivate to learn about it, I will also help you!"

"Thanks Hiro!"

And so go on, both of us train together even harder during two months, for finally I was able to avoid most of Nami sneak attack and I was also able to feel my surrounding until 3-5 meters, depending of the weather.

But more important, I also have a better control on my Logia devil fruit with my basic training.

Meanwhile, Nami training into the haki of observation make her able to increase a little her speed and agility and was also able to dodge some of my attack, but she was still unable to use correctly her haki of armament.

But recently, maybe due of her hard training as well, she was sometime able to land a hit on me, which I am sure it makes her lot happy when she successfully hit me!

And thanks to my healing skill with my water, we were able to rest nicely every night, which is maybe why we were able to make such progress in such in a short time!

"I think it should be enough for the moment!" I suddenly say after seeing Nami avoiding my sneak attack several times in a row

"Ahh finally!" She says before sitting on the ground, exhausted

"Here, drink a few!" I say to her while giving her a water bottle before starting to prepare our lunch

"Thanks Hiro!" Reply Nami while drinking some water before refreshing her face near the river where we established our camp

"I think it's time for us to go back!" I say to her while giving her some grilled fish with a soup

"Ehh? We still have one month left right?" She asked a little confused

"Yes, but we also agree to reach the 100,000,000 Bery as well! Don't you remember?"

"But I was planning to do it on our way back with…" She says while looking at the wanted poster

"This guy! He has a bounty of 15,000,000 Berry, which is exactly what I need to complete the 100,000,000 Bery, thanks to Drabback's bounty and his gold, and I also hear that he may have a map about the Grand Line!" She says with sparkle in her eyes

Of course it was Buggy the clown wanted poster that she show me! Even if now I think we can easily defeat him, I still wont see him for the moment!

"Don't worry about the Grand Line map, I have a rough idea about this!" I tell her for avoiding him

"Ehh? Really?"

"Yes, me I was more thinking about these two guys!" Did I reply her while show her two posters

The first one has only a bounty of 3,500,000 Bery while the second has 10,000,000 Bery on his wanted poster!

"Why did you pick a low bounty? There is a much higher one…" She says while looking at her papers

"Because this one will be your own target as a training while the second we will do it together!"

"Ehh? But I am not as strong as you are…" She complain to me

"Don't worry, with your actual strength I am sure that you can handle them easily and I will also be here to assist you in case!" I tell her since I wont her to be always afraid like in the manga when I know she can be strong too

And thanks to this 2 months training, she got a little more confidence in herself than before since she nodded without any hesitation about my proposition.

"Okay then, let's pack our things and see if we can find a place to stay for tonight and took a nice hot bath!" I say while finishing my meal

Hearing the words 'hot bath', Nami quickly finish her meal as well before starting to pack her stuff, ready to leave even before I finished to clean our camp…

Back to the city where we deliver our little pocket money 2 month ago, we find a nice inn which even propose a huge private bath, unfortunately there was only one room left and the other inn that we just check earlier was not so nice.

"It's okay, let's take it, I will just take a bath first for then sleep on our boat!" I tell Nami while paying for the room and taking the key

"So hurry up and take a quick bath!" Shout Nami while pushing me to our room since look like she really misses to have a nice hot bath

After I took first a nice shower, I am now relaxing in the big bath! And there is one thing that I was happy to discover, it's that no- salt water has less impact on us, devil fruit users, than the seawater.

After all, if we were really weak at all kind of water, then when it's raining or even just when we take a shower or bath, we may suddenly become weak and lost consciousness… Which clearly isn't happening now!

But right now, what I wondering it's why Nami is trying to sneak in the bathroom since I am still here…

"Do you need something Nami?" I ask her without need to turn my head toward her

"Tch… I really miss the time when I was able to surprise you!" She reply to me before sitting next to me

"So what happen? It's rare that you didn't ask for any fee yet!"

"Is the reason that you won't stay here to sleep tonight it's about the two guys who were following us earlier?"

"Ohh… So you also notice them? Since when?"

"Just after we check the first inn, but I supposed they were already following us, right?"

"Yes, they started to follow us just before we left the forest, so I suppose they have their camp near there!"

"So you are going to pay them a visit?"

"Well since look like they want to give us an easy bounty, who I am to decline such a nice offer?" Did I reply her with a mischievously smile

"Can I come with you?"

"Ohh? Don't you want to enjoy a long and nice hot bath?"

"Why do you think I came here when you are still here!"

"Hmm… For ask me a huge fee?"

"No… Not tonight!"

"Ohh… So it mean I can enjoy the view?" I tease her a few, but without looking at her directly

"Don't push your luck too much or I will add you a fee!" She reply while smiling and punching my shoulder softly

"Okay! So let's go get our free bounty!" I tell her while leaving the bath followed by Nami while both of us having a mischievous smile on our face
