They followed Kalifa and Olvia let go of Galan, saying "Excuse me, Miss Kalifa… May I?" Kalifa looked back as Olvia took off her mask, revealing her blindfold. She reached out a hand as Kalifa jumped in shock, grabbing Olvia's hand saying "Oh my! Miss, are you alright?" Olvia moved her hands up Kalifa's wrist and held her arm, letting out a breath, smiling "Born like this."
Kalifa smiled gently, "It's not an issue." as they continued walking. Oliva said happily "Kalifa, your skin is so smooth! Wow!" Kalifa smiled and replied "Of course, you know I bathe with only the most healthy soaps…"
As the girls started talking about random things, Galan followed behind them, looking around at the masked folk. His face expressionless as always.
A while later
They arrived at the inn and Kalifa smiled "Here you are! Oh, Robin~ I'll have someone send you the soaps I use!" Olvia held her hands, saying emotionally "Oh, you don't have to! Thank you so much, Kalifa!" Kalifa smiled and patted her hands, saying "It's not a big deal! See you tomorrow~!" as she walked away in a good mood.
Olvia held her hands together before waving… in the wrong direction. Galan ignored her and walked inside, going to their room.
Olvia grabbed onto his shirt and said "Such a nice girl! I made a friend today, Fleet Admiral." Galan ignored her as they walked in the room, he started looking around before coming to a spot and lifting a shelf on a bookcase, revealing a snail bug.
Olvia smiled happily and said "It's so fun around here, I hope Iceberg-san can approve of our shipment." Galan put the shelf back down, not touching the bug as he replied softly "He should. It's big business." Olvia nodded "Mhm! 100 Marine ships! Phew! Maybe we can get one for just us, Fleet Admiral?"
Galan's lips twitched as Olvia giggled cheekily.
A person was listening to their conversation a few buildings away and made a strange face. Kalifa walked in and said coldly, "And?" the person replied, "Well, I think they're in a relationship…" Kalifa kicked the person shouting "I MEANT THEIR GOAL, IDIOT!" The person dodged and replied "Hey! I don't know… They don't talk much!"
Kalifa pushed up her glasses and snorted "I hope they end up together, she's very sweet." The person was stunned, saying "You just got mad for no reason?!" Kalifa said "That's sexual harassment." the person didn't answer, it wasn't sexual harassment at any rate…
Galan and Olvia sat around in the room, staying silent for the most part. Olvia would occasionally ask questions "Fleet Admiral, am I cute?" Galan ignored her and she would ask again "Fleet Admiral, do you like big or small breasts?"
The person listening was dumbfounded. He liked big ones! Damn! What was he thinking?! He took off the listening device and cursed "I'm not doing this anymore! All they talk about is useless information." Lucci walked out and spoke, "You have to stay attentive, Blueno. Your mission tonight is dependent on if they move or not… Isn't that right, Nico Robin?"
As he turned his head, revealing Nico Robin sitting there!
She said flatly, "I don't care." Lucci was also cold, saying "If you get caught by the Fleet Admiral, I can assure you, you will not have a good time. We had a special name for him when he was a Vice-Admiral…" he narrowed his eyes and Kalifa shivered, "Onihitokuchi…"
Robin tilted her head, "One mouth Ogre?" Lucci frowned slightly, "Everywhere he went disaster was left behind him. He would swallow pirates and Underground figures in one bite, not even leaving bones behind…" Robin rested her cheek on her palm, not caring at all.
You could say the same about her, she believed herself to be cursed… Everywhere she went, disaster soon followed. All sorts of organizations were destroyed in an instant as she escaped, barely dragging her in as well.
There were even times where she was attacked, herself!
So if she was comparing curses, she would say that her own curse must be stronger…
However, how could she know that all these things were because Galan was ordering them. Would she have escaped to tell the tale if he truly wanted to catch her? As for curses go, Robin had no idea just how safe she actually was…
Maybe in this whole world, there was nobody safer than her.
A life of manufactured tragedy and she didn't even know it. Perhaps this was even sadder than the truth…
Olvia continued talking nonsense for the rest of the day "Fleet Admiral, do you like my breasts? Fleet Admiral, is my butt plump? Fleet Admiral, can you kiss me? Fleet Admiral, if we were to have a child, do you think they would be cute?"
Blueno was about to go insane.
Galan never answered her, writing in his book. He couldn't have the sneaking suspicion that Olvia meant a few of these questions, he looked at her strangely and she looked at him expectantly. He furrowed his brows and turned back to his notebook, this annoying woman was going to be the death of him…
A while later
Just before the night operation Lucci spoke about, Blueno heard "Fleet Admiral, are you big or small?" and nearly killed the snail…
After this, Olvia yawned and said "Fleet Admiral, I'm going to sleep. Will you sleep with me?" Blueno's eyes lit up, sleeping?! Yes, please! God! He couldn't wait! If he had to listen to another ridiculous question, he was going to jump out of a building.
Galan closed his book and said "Okay." Blueno was exhilarated and laughed happily, nearly crying "Finally… It's over!" Galan took off his clothes and got in bed as Olvia made a point of jumping on the bed and making a loud noise, giggling "Oh, wow~ Fleet Admiral~!" Blueno froze and his nose started bleeding…
Galan looked at Olvia jumping around on the bed, giggling "Fleet Admiral! Oh! Mmm! So big!" he frowned and rolled to his side, letting her fool around. She laughed and ran to the bookcase, hitting her back on it, leaning over to the bug and moaning loudly.
Blueno spurted blood from his nose and fell off the chair as Kalifa kicked him angrily "Idiot!"
Olvia looked at Galan and gave him a cute thumbs up! He glanced at her once and ignored her, shaking his head as he turned back. She giggled soundlessly, skipping over to the bed with her delicate little feet and getting in bed, snuggling up to him, pulling him into his back before resting on his chest.
He let out a breath and she kissed his cheek, whispering in a voice only they could hear, "Goodnight, Galan." Galan stroked her hair, nodding. She smiled gently and closed her eyes, going to sleep.
Galan held her waist and stared at the ceiling, looks like they would be able to leave before Aqua Laguna tomorrow… He frowned slightly, stroking Olvia's back, it was better they left sooner.
CP9 was monitoring them with a snail bug, however, he didn't feel any sight based monitoring… Maybe they weren't taking such big chances. But what were they doing on the island in the first place?
Galan refused to believe that CP9 was posted on Water 7 just for him. It was impossible. They had to be here for something… but what?
He thought about it hard… the Fish-Man who made Roger's ship was on this island, but he had been executed a long time ago. Galan heard about it, but it was impossible to stop. He would be abiding a 'criminal', he had an inkling that it wasn't about building the Oro Jackson… there must've been something else.
This was most likely the reason for CP9's stationing on the island.
Tom had been charged for building the Oro Jackson, which came directly from the 5 Elders. This was so unreasonable, Galan couldn't believe it actually worked. That just showed him how much power the World Government had… To actually make people believe that the person who built a ship needed to be executed…
He sighed to himself, there are stupid people everywhere. Getting the civilians involved in anything was a waste of time. They couldn't even think for themselves, what was the point of asking for an opinion?
For people in power, civilians were manipulated whenever they needed them to be. It wasn't even hard, most of them believe everything they read in the first place, one newspaper would work.
Maybe 2 newspapers with opposite information would kill their brains, this was why most newspapers reported basically the same thing.
Galan protected the people, that didn't mean he thought they were saints… They were weak and dumb, so he would protect them from harm. It was simple. Even if he didn't like them, as long as they were innocent, he would protect them. This is what it meant to execute Justice!
He closed his eyes and decided to look into this idea tomorrow… They had to be here for a reason and knowing the Government, it wasn't anything with good intentions…
