Chereads / Ballad of the Crows / Chapter 11 - Road to Drum Island

Chapter 11 - Road to Drum Island

It seems that the giants finally woke up, it's time to see how they are doing.

Katahara went to where all the crew was together with the giants, where found the two giants awake and eating the meat that Dabi had cooked, they were eating as if their life depended on it which showed how hungry they were.

Brogy: Captain!

Dorry: Captain!

Katahara: You guys look hungry, lucky I was hunting everything that moved on this island for you to eat... now tell me how it feels.

Dorry: Thank you for the food captain, I don't know how to describe this feeling, I feel different, faster, stronger, my vision improved and my agility also increased, I feel like a new person.

Brogy: That's right captain, I also feel like a new person, everything in me has improved so much that I can't describe it.

Katahara: It seems that the procedure was successful right now I have no doubt that you are the strongest Giants in the world, now I have a gift for you.

At that moment put his hand inside the suit and took out a fruit that resembles an apple, very dark in color and with the characteristic orange swirls on its body.

Katahara: This is the Bomu Bomu no Mi, the consumer will be a living bomb, there is only one devil fruit so you will have to decide between the two of you who will be the one to eat it.

Brogy: Captain, I don't want to eat that fruit so I guess it will be for Dorry.

Dorry: Then I will be the one to eat it Captain.

Katahara: Then it is decided Dorry, you will eat the Bomu Bomu no Mi.

After that Dorry ate the Bomu Bomu no Mi, after eating it and wanting to vomit the small fruit, Dorry made Brogy explode unintentionally by touching him.

Katahara: Then it's time to say goodbye boys, you know what your mission is, right?

Dorry: That's right captain, we will head to Elbaf to defeat everyone and recruit a new crew.

Brogy: After that we will go to recruit the ice giants.

Katahara: It seems they are clear about their mission, before heading to Elbaf I want them to go after Oimo and Kashi.

Dorry: Then that will be our next stop captain.

Katahara: When you return from Elbaf I will contact you, until then my dear giants.

Brogy: We won't let you down captain.

Katahara: I will soon send a new ship so that you can go out to sea, until then my dear giants.

After saying that Katahara went to the shore where he took the boat out of his ring, it was a few minutes before the crew appeared, they boarded the boat ready to set sail towards Drum Island.

At sea, everyone was exercising, while Katahara's clones were in charge of all the ship's duties.

Van Augur: Captain.

Katahara: Tell me Augur.

Van Augur: Don't you think that having your clones doing all the ship's work is a bit strange?

Katahara: Actually yes it is, it will only be for a while, this is the plan for the moment...

When Katahara was about to explain his plan Laffitte and Dabi stopped training and came closer to listen.

Katahara: The first thing is to go for the carpenter that Augur said, Thomas Tew to Drum Island, after that we head to the desert for a few million Berry, those are the short term plans.

Laffitte: Hohoho what an interesting plan if I may say.

At that moment Katahara lit a cigarette and started smoking it, as headed to his cabin.

Now that the giants are going to start a new crew and it becomes known that it's a division of mine, it's only a matter of time before the navy takes us as a threat until that happens I must be strong enough to fight an Admiral or else it's all over, what the one above all told me about other reincarnates worries me they have the same knowledge about this world and it will suck to run into one, just imagining if they were also given wishes makes my head hurt, Katahara thought

Laffitte: Captain, there's a storm coming!

He shouted as the ship began to lurch so Katahara came out of his cabin still holding his cigarette.

At that moment all the clones began to hoist the sails.

Katahara: Laffitte, get the ship out of this damn storm.

The sky immediately started to darken and lightning started to strike, all over the place, one was about to strike the ship, but was repelled by Katahara.

Katahara: Dabi use your fire to propel the ship and get us out of this.

Lafitte: Watch out EVERYONE!

A giant wave hit the ship almost capsizing the ship.

Katahara: Shit... Dabi!

Van Augur: Captain, I've got Dabi, he took the wave head on.

Katahara: Take him inside, the water has weakened him, he's dismasted.

After a few hours they came out of the storm, everyone was wet, Dabi was in the crew quarters.

Katahara: Laffitte, are we off course?

Laffitte: We are off course Captain, I guess it will take a little longer to get to Drum Island.

Van Augur: Captain, pirate ship in sight!

Katahara: Describe the flag to me.

Van Augur: It's got a man hanging as a flag captain.

Hell I don't recognize that kind of flag, Katahara thought.

Katahara: Laffitte bring us closer to that ship, it will serve as a test of our training.

Somewhere in the big line a navy battleship was sailing, a soldier entered the main cabin and said.

Soldier: Vice Admiral Ryu, here is the information about the new pirate called "Bloody Crow" that you requested.

Leaving it on the desk in front of him.

Ryu: Thank you Shu, you are dismissed.

Said while grabbing the documents.

Ryu: Katahara D. Uchiha, former bounty hunter, assassin of Commodore Daigin, skilled sword user, devil fruit consumer, can turn his body into crows as well as imbue his sword with electricity. Wore a black cloak with red clouds.

After finishing reading Vice Admiral Ryu had a grim face.

Ryu: Shit! I thought was the only one who had reincarnated in this world, that goddess didn't tell me anything about there being another one, the clothes, those clothes are akatsuki's no doubt and those abilities confirm it.... transforming his body into ravens, may be the raven dispersion jutsu or raven clone and imbuing his sword with electricity sounds like the chidori variation to me, I don't know if is a Sharingan holder or just uses the Uchiha surname, but if is a Sharinga user and gets to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan this will get ugly.

The Old Admiral stood up from his desk and paced around his cabin.

Ryu: He won't even be my opponent I'm the best swordsman in the navy, I don't have to worry about him maybe he's only been here for a little less than a year, while I'm here for more than 5 years and I'm a candidate for admiral, if he chose the path of piracy it means a killer who only lives for himself, I don't care if he was from my world or not, all pirates must die for justice to prevail, I have to contact Sengoku right now to let me go after him.

Back with Katahara and his crew.

Lafitte: Captain these poor devils didn't even put up any resistance, that ability to be able to put things away is an amazing thing captain.

Katahara: Your captain couldn't even react when we started attacking, hahahaha.

Van Augur: I guess we're getting stronger at an amazing speed.

Katahara: Laffitte how long do you think it will take us to reach Drum Island.

Laffitte: Captain, the way the weather is we'll be there in just 1 more weeks.

Katahara: Then it's time to get back to training... Dabi you have to be able to use Geppo successfully until we get to the island.

Dabi: I will practice with more effort captain.

After saying that, Katahara went to the mascaron of the ship to start meditating, stayed in lotus position during the whole trip until they could see the island, another thing to highlight is that Dabi could master the technique of geppo he didn't need to practice almost nothing the power of his devil fruit since he mastered perfectly his quirk.

Suddenly Katahara opened his eyes and could see a white island in the distance.

Van Augur: Captain, I can see the island.

Katahara stood up and went in the direction of the cabin where had coats for all the crew, while he lit a cigarette.

Katahara: Laffitte, Dabi...

Dabi: Captain

Laffitte merely approached.

Katahara: I need you both to search for two people and bring them to the ship, Laffitte you will search in Bighorn village, a tall man with black hair, wears a green tunic lined with white skin and has armor plates on his arms, is someone who stands out, you have to be as quiet as you can, as for Dabi you can use force but you must prioritize bringing them alive, I want you to bring me King Wapo and the prince you will realize who is because has his head and pink hair resembles a mushroom.

Dabi: As you order captain, I will bring them both to you, even if it costs me my life.

Laffitte only showed a macabre smile while bowing.

Katahara: I don't care in what conditions you bring your targets as long as they are alive, Laffitte I chose you because you are the quietest of all the crew, we will disembark as close as possible to Robelle city, you have 2 days to bring your targets.

Van Augur: Captain, I can see the island.

Katahara: everyone put on your coats and get ready.

At that moment they arrived at Drum Island it was extremely snowy, with absolutely freezing temperatures that can be felt even from the surrounding seas.

Dabi: I will return with the targets captain.

Laffitte: I will bring the man you asked for captain.

Katahara: Go.

At that moment the two left using geppo in two different directions.

Katahara: I wonder how they knew which direction to go... Augur we are leaving too.

After getting off Katahara kept the boat in his ring.
