Chapter 24 - Seperate Ways!

While Crocus injured and falling to the acid sea, Luffy came to the duo, laughing like a maniac. Luffy punched both from the face. I start to like this man. Then I used Binding Jutsu to bind them to each other and we went to the island where Crocus was first standing. After which he started to summarize what the hell is going on. Turns out, this huge whale was brought twin peaks 50 years ago from West Blue, by pirates. When whale first came he was as small as normal shark size. Pirates later went to the Grand Line and promised Laboon to meet here again. But they never return. Laboon, on the other hand, wanted to go other side of the Red Line to meet Pirates again. That is why he would hit his head to the Red Line all day long. Scars on his head, when I first see him was because of this.

It was a classic betrayal story.

"Don't judge people." said Crow.

What do you know? If you promise, you have to fulfill it.

"You always judge without knowing the actual story."

Whatever.

After which Crocus told us about the Duo trying to kill Laboon. They were residents of the nearby island and wanted to hunt Laboon down to feed island. It would feed them the whole 3 years.

Later with Crocus and Ship, we left by the huge door inside of Laboon. Crocus said he made this doors to threat Laboon from inside because after a while he becomes huge and couldn't treat him from outside. After we went outside, Luffy went top of the Laboon and started to fight with him. While I was wondering what this crazy man doing, after a while Luffy stopped and said: "Our fight will continue. As the mark, I will draw my pirate flag on your head. Don't hit your head to the wall so this mark never wears off. I will definitely return. Wait for me."

This man was light-headed, most of the time even stupid, but he had a huge heart. He actually said the exact words need to be said. Maybe except him, no one could do that. His painting was so bad though.

After which I get a quest request and I understand it was time for me to leave. I told Luffy about my leaving and left them three sealed item. One was a steel small square box. Inside there was my seal for the Flying Thunder God Technique. The other two was 2 pieces of paper. Both had the seal for warning me in case of emergency I would run to them as soon as possible. I would never hunt this crew and I didn't want to see them get hurt. I know Luffy wouldn't ask for help and would do things on his own. Same goes for Zoro and Sanji. So, I gave Nami and Usopp each.

After that, I flashed away.

Back to the East Blue. I discovered flashing from Twin Peaks to the Louge Town was as easy as breathing. I also marked Merry Go, Twin Peaks. Gave steel box to crew. So there weren't many things to worry about. I had the biggest quest since I reincarnated I decided to do it.

When I return to the Louge Town, I learned Smoker and his Right Hand Man Tashiga, went after Straw Hat pirates. Smoker decided to follow Luffy and his crew. I was also away in the meantime, so the town got really affected badly by pirates attack. As soon as I arrived I set things right and caught all the pirates. All town supported me and I started the first step of the quest.

I created a Bounty Hunter Guild.

It called Black Wing! Black Wing started to spread wildly. First, it was nearby towns, then it was all East Blue. Even the normal citizens got enough of pirates, and try to be a member of the Black Wing. I wasn't planning to recruit newbie's at first, but later I decided to do otherwise. I created a Training School for new recruits. Hired few veterans to train them. They would teach how to fight to the new recruits. In a short 2 months, I already had enough men to send all over the East Blue and there were new recruits every day.

After I got enough men, I started another business... Island protection. There would be a stationed man in the islands. If the pirates dare to come to those islands and started a trouble, they would be killed right away. My gain from all hunted bounty was %50 for new recruits, %30 for veterans. Island protection fee was all mine, I would just pay salary who stationed in islands. They would usually send their original islands so it was perfect for both sides.

There were 3 ways to work in Black Wing.

1) Under the name of Black Wing, you would hunt pirates. These people would have to pay a fee to Black Wing.

2) Under the Black Wing Flag, you would protect the island. These people would get a salary.

3) In the training camp, becoming a trainer. These people would get a salary and a bonus for each successful person they trained.

Business was going well. At first, some stupid people aimed hunters from Black Wing but I retaliated and the legend started to spread. 'Don't mess anyone from Black Wing'. That was my second step. I wanted this impact to intimidate pirates and welcome new bounty hunters.

One of these days I went to the island called Cocoyasi. I was going to speak about the new business opportunity. This island one of my first customers. I did all contract with the island myself, it was for two reasons. To show that I actually care and mark every island with my seal.

As I learned from chef and beautiful woman called Nojiko, this island was under Fishman Pirates who work with Marines. The Arlong Pirates, Captain Arlong, shark Fishman was a cruel man. Even if one person didn't pay the monthly fee, he would turn all village upside down. He killed Nami's and Nojiko's mother for this very reason. The island lived the hell for 10 years before saved by Straw Hats. It was safe since then but you can't be sure if it going to be the same.

Nojiko and I were getting along nicely. I was 16 years old but I looked 18 in my normal appearance. With my original look, I had black hairs, deep black eyes. In the normal time, people would feel they feel into the abyss when they looked me in the eye. I would wear jeans, a black t-shirt, and a hooded jacket. Nojiko was a young woman with blue hair and green big eyes. She was a tall and beautiful woman with big ample bosoms.

When I arrived to the island, I went to the Chef's office. He was sitting with Nojiko and greeted me when I walked in. I took the beverage treated me. It was the tangerines juice. Best tangerines juice I ever had. The taste, the color everything was so rich. And Nojiko told me this was the real business they wanted to discuss. This juice was made from tangerines only their family raised. Her and Nami's mother Bellemere created an Tangerines Farm after she found Nojiko and Nami in the island when she was Marine. She adopted them and brought them back to her hometown. Quit the Marine.

Since then she started to raise tangerines and sell them. After her demise, Nojiko took over the business. Normally because Arlong took all the money, the village made, they wouldn't do anything else besides survive. Now, because they were free, they wanted to expand the business. Because I had the network in East Blue, they wanted me to export their handmade crafts for a certain fee. The island would like to start with tangerines juice. I supported the idea for two reasons with just a little bit of fee.

1) This would bring me more alike business.

2) My company name would be protection itself for these export ships. If there were another company who wanted to do export business, they had to hire someone from my company to do business in the sea.

Also, I liked Nojiko and wanted to help her. I invest money in business too. I started to bring orphan girls from all over the East Blue, made a big orphanage in the Cocoyashi Village. They would work with Nojiko to produce the juice. After just a month we started to send our first 10 ships to all around East Blue.

One of these days when I and Nojiko walking in the farm, Nojiko stumble a rock and I hold her from her waist to support her and pulled her. She holds me on the shoulder and our face was close to each other. I got blush quickly, it was my closest moment to a woman except for the time I breastfed. She looked me in the eye and said "Thank you for everything. You helped me and those girls" and kissed me on my cheek. I froze there a few second and Crow said: "Do you want to activate a gamer mind?"

In the few past years, I finally understand why gamer mind doesn't work on me. Because of the adapt system, gamer mind is offline most of the time. Adapt System let me adapt the negative emotions while Gamer Mind just forces me to get through it. Adapt System is much better in this aspect because with adapt system next time I wouldn't feel overwhelmed at all.

No! Let me adapt. I don't want to freeze in front of the girls again.

After a while, we separate and I went to my destination for my next step.
