Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Whispers of the abyss: Unveiling secrets

[Opening scene]

Omoshiro is still falling deep down into this abyss, he is terrified and probably alone, and he does not know what to do or what he will do

[Scene 1]

Omoshiro finally lands deep down into the abyss, it is surprisingly not as dark as he thought it was going to be, it is actually quite therapeutic

Omoshiro: "Ah, this is not as bad as I thought it would be, Hehe"

(As Omoshiro is defrosting, he hears a voice calling to him)

Enigmatic voice: "Omoo," (The mysterious voice said with an Echo)

(Omoshiro is a bit baffled by this voice, but maybe he thinks it is one of his crewmates, speaking of crewmates, where are they? Omoshiro wonders to himself)

Omoshiro: "Huh?!, who was that?, Hyoronagai!(The ships shipwright), was that you?"

(Omoshiro hears nothing, he's convinced he's just losing it at this point)

Enigmatic voice: "Omoo"

(Omoshiro heard this mysterious voice again, but the echo was louder, and the voice sounded closer)

Omoshiro: "Ok, who's playing with me, i don't like these types of games"

Enigmatic voice: "Follow my voice"

(The mysterious voice said to Omoshiro)

Omoshiro: "Me?, I must follow a random voice?"

(Omoshiro asks, obviously a bit sketchy of this voice)

Enigmatic voice: "Yess"

(Said the mysterious voice, speaking through the echos of the abyss)

Omoshiro: "Ohhhhhhh, hell to the N.O"

(Omoshiro says this confidently, he's not going to trust some shady voice talking to him through walls)

Enigmatic voice: "You have no choicee"

(The voice says, obviously giving Omoshiro no other choice)

Omoshiro: "I refuse, I'm not going to listen to some random in the walls"

(Omoshiro says this while crossing his arms and looking away from the direction this voice is speaking to him from, he's made up his mind and is not following this strange wall voice)

Enigmatic voice: "Ugh, i can never win with you people" (The voice says obviously annoyed)

(Omoshiro hears this and turns towards where he thinks the wall's voice is coming from)

Omoshiro: "AND WHAT IS THAT MEANT TO MEAN!, HUH?" (Omoshiro asks violently, obviously offended by this comment of the wall)

Enigmatic voice: "Proving my point exactly, just another toxic, gaslighting, misogynistic alpha male boss man," (The Voice behind the walls says obviously not surprised by Omo's behaviour and tone)

Omoshiro: "AH-, I am not whatever, whatever male boss man" (Omoshiro says while being offended)

Omoshiro: "And also, aren't you a man yourself?, Mr talking wall"

Enigmatic voice: "ah-", (The voice of the walls is definitely offended it can't believe Omoshiro, would just assume it's gender like that)

Enigmatic voice: "Well excuse me... my gender is none of your business" (The voice says obviously trying to hide the fact that he was gagged a bit, and also that they are for sure a male)

Omoshiro: "Mmm, ok, whatever" (Omo says with an aloof tone)

Enigmatic voice: "Ugh whatever. Now, are you going to come with me or not?"

(The voice asks, clearly not in the mood for this right now)

Omoshiro: "I thought we talked about this, I'M NOT FOLLOWING SOME RANDOM IN THE WALLS!"

(Omo exclaims, showing that he CLEARLY doesn't want to follow the voice in the walls)

Enigmatic voice: "listen, if you don't come with me, you'll be stuck here forever, and i definitely won't help you"

(The voice says with a hint of sass)

(Omoshiro sits down on the floor with his legs crossed, and he crosses his arms)

Omoshiro: "Fine by me"(He says with tenacity)

Enigmatic voice: "You know, im so sick of this"

Then out of the blue, Omoshiro starts to levitate slowly off the ground, he's scared and confused, and he's trying everything in his power to get back to the ground, but he continues to struggle, and it's getting scary

Omoshiro: "AHHHH, put me down! put me down!)

(Omo is clearly scared and doesn't like this anymore)

Enigmatic voice: "This is what you get, actually... WHAT YOU DESERVE for being such a deviant human" (The voice says sternly)

Omoshiro: "Ugh, of course it's you doing such"

Enigmatic voice: "Mm, and we're going to keep it that way"

(The voice says while still lifting Omoshiro in the air somehow)

[Scene 2]

Moments later, Omoshiro and this voice in the walls have seem to have bonded while this voice was leading Omoshiro to some random mysterious place.

Omoshiro: "So... how long till we arrive to where you want to go"

Enigmatic voice: "We're almost there, now shut up."

Omoshiro: "Uhh no, i refuse"

Enigmatic voice: *sighs* "I can't with you anymore"

(Omoshiro and this voice keep going towards the direction where this secret place this random in the walls want to show Omo)

[Scene 3]

Few minutes later, Omoshiro and the random in the walls finally arrived at their destination, it was an interesting journey to say the least.

Omoshiro: "So is the place...?"

Nazomeita: "Yes."

(Nazomeita says, he is done with Omo, and just wants to finish what he must do)

Omoshiro: "WOOOO! You can drop me now, thank you very much"

(He says eagerly, he wants to be on the ground again)

*Plop*

Omoshiro: "OUCH! you couldn't even be gentler?" (He asks in pain)

Nazomeita: "No."

Omoshiro rolls his eyes and gets up on his feet as he analyses the place, and it's quite nice actually, the water falls majestically onto the surface, and the towering pillars shine in the ray of sunlight from above.

Omoshiro: "WOW! This is just outstanding, I never knew a place like this could even exist, absolutely breathtaking"

Omoshiro is beyond shocked at what he is seeing right now, it is just all beautiful, he never knew a place like this could exist, and he lives to see it. Nazomeita: (rolling his eyes) "Yeah, yeah, let us just go through the doors, I'm tired of you already" Omo just looks at Nazomeita and rolls his eyes and goes back to admiring the scenery for a little longer. Once omo has taken in more of the scenery, he realises why he came with Nazo in the first place.

 Omoshiro: "Ok, we can go through now" he says with confidence in his voice.

Nazomeita just sighs and he walks towards what is known as the "Kamigami no tobira (Doorway of the Gods)".

 Nazomeita: (He looks at Omoshiro with a serious look and says) "Stay here, and don't you dare think to move from this spot, if you move, YOU will die, and I mean you WILL die, understood?"

Omoshiro is quite frightened by this statement, so he just decides to obey and stand there until Nazomeita finishes up with whatever he must do. Nazomeita then walks towards the doors, and he takes his hands out of his cloak, and his hands slowly start glowing yellow and Nazo starts chanting a spell and the doors start glowing.

Omoshiro: (Omo is wondering what is going on but he also thinks it is quite fascinating to watch) "What in the sorcery are you doing"

Nazomeito: (He rolls his eyes and says) "Do you ever know when to shut up?"

Nazomeita then continues with his spell to open the doors, it's taking longer than usual, most probably because Omoshiro is being a distraction, no surprise. Moments later, Nazomeito finally gets the doors to open.

 Omoshiro: "WHUU, it was about time old man! Bones getting quite stiff there hey?" (Omo says playfully)

Nazomeita clenches his teeth, obviously offended by Omo's little playfulness.

Nazomeita: "Well if you may, sorcery isn't something easy and it-"

 *Omoshiro cuts Nazo off saying*

Omoshiro: "Yap, yap, yap"

Nazomeita quickly gets triggered by Omo Ill-mannered self and starts reprimanding him with fury, but nothing new, Omo still doesn't give a damn, at this point, Nazo has just lost all hope, and he makes his way through the door with Omo. As they enter through the "Kamigami no tobira" they're greeted with Lucious cascading waterfalls, pillars made of the purest gold, the most ancient of ancient ruins, and a few other interesting artifacts.

Omoshiro: "WOAHH! Is this even real- NO! It can't be, it's t-t-t-t-too Gorgeous to be something real, I must be dreaming!" Omo is quite clearly overwhelmed by the beauty of the ancient temple, it's like a fever dream to him. Nazomeita quickly cuts Omo's admiration moment off.

Nazomeita: "There's no time to waste, follow me." he says sternly

Omoshiro: (obviously not happy with Nazo) "Boo, what a buzz kill." (he says with his arms crossed and his head to the side with his lips pouted).

Nazomeita just decides to ignore him, he's pretty much used to this at this point, he just keeps on making his way to their next destination. As they're approaching their next destination, Omo decides to make some small talk. 

Omoshiro: "Soo, if i may, what and who are you exactly" 

Nazomeita: (Sighs) "If you really want to know, I'm a mummy, and I'm the keeper of the ancient temple." 

 Omo is quite shocked when he hears Nazo is an actual actually real-life living mummy, Nazo just keeps getting more and more interesting to Omo, he starts to think that Nazo is not so much of a stuck-up boring ass old-looking man. 

Omoshiro: "Hmmm, an actual living mummy, that's not so bad, hmph, I guess you're not so boring after all." 

Nazomeita: (chuckles) "Well, I guess you're not so bad yourself, you're still a pain in the ass, but... a tolerable one I guess." 

Omoshiro and Nazomeita share a big laugh together, seems like they're starting to warm up to each other, it was about time. 

[Scene 4] 

Moments later, Nazo and Omo have finally arrived at their destination, it seems like a small room, but it's still a well-structured room, it seems like this whole place is just a wonderland. Omoshiro is looking around admiring the atmosphere, as he is doing so, something out of the blue jumps on the top of his face, Omo is running wild all over the show trying to get whatever is clenching on his face off. Nazomeita desperately tries to help him, but Omo is all over, and it seems Nazo cannot get a hold of him. 

Omoshiro: "AHHHHH!! GET IT OFF MY FACE!" (Omo says while running all over desperately trying to shake whatever is on his face) 

Nazomeita: "Hey! Hey! Hey! Just stand still!" (Nazo says while chasing Omo everywhere) 

After several minutes of wild goose chasing, Omo and Nazo were finally able to get the thing off of Omo's face, but that came with a few bumps and bruises, turns out that the creature on Omo's face was an ancient monkey, Nazomeita's boss, his name is "Sworn son" Son Gyatso.

Nazomeita: "Gyatso-sama, sorry for the misunderstanding, didn't see you for a moment there"

Omoshiro: "Yes, yes, sorry for that, I didn't know who you are, let me introduce myself properly, my name is-" 

Gyatso: "No need for introductions, I already know who you are, very well at that." 

Omoshiro is a bit confused, he doesn't know what to think of Gyatso-sama's words. 

Omoshiro: (chuckles) "Hehe, I'm flattered, but how exactly do you know my name?" (Omo asks, intrigued on how this strange talking monkey knows him). 

Gyatso: "You're "Son of the stars" Kayaman Omoshiro, first-mate of the Dark-heart pirates, you have a 1.5 billion bounty, and you serve under the so-called one of the 5 lords of the sea: "Dark-heart" Pigas D Kurai." 

Omoshiro is beyond bombarded, he is in utter shock and does not know what to say, he can't believe a strange talking monkey living under the ground knows so much about him,especially what goes on in the outside world.

Omoshiro: (with his mouth open in shock) "H-h-Howw do you know so much?!" 

Nazomeita: (Confidently) "Gyatso-sama knows almost everything, he is just that great" 

Gyatso: "Nazo-san..."

Nazomeita: "Gyatso-sama...?" 

Gyatso: "I didn't ask for another speaker" 

Nazomeita: (WIth his head faced down and embarrassed) "My apologies Gya-sama" 

Omoshiro is still confused on a lot of things that are going on currently, like who these two guys are, where do they come from and why was he dragged all the way here. 

Omoshiro: "Wait, wait, wait, I'm still confused on a lot of things going on here." 

Nazomeita and Gyatso-sama both look at Omo wondering where he is going with this.

Omoshiro: "Like, who are you guys, and why was I even brought here, huh?" 

There is a moment of silence before, and the three of them exchange blank, emotionless stares before Gyatso and Nazomeita burst out in hysterical laughter. 

Nazomeita: (still laughing hysterically) "Whew, you're a funny one. Well if you'd really like to know" 

Nazomeita and Gyatso's faces turn dark with devilish grins, you'd swear satan had them at that very moment.

Gyatso: (with a sinister voice) "We brought you here so we can..."

Nazomeita: "CAN EAT YOU!!" 

"YAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH" the sound of Nazomeita and Gyatso's devilish yet harmonic evil laughter. Omoshiro gets startled by this and starts running wild.

Omoshiro: (crying for help) "AHHHHHHHHH! HELP ME! THESE GUYS ARE CRAZY, SOMEONE PLEASE!"

Omo's screams and cries echo through the temple, it's clear to see he got fooled by Nazo and Gyatso's tricks.

Nazomeita: (chuckling) "Oh calm down, it's only a harmless joke"

Gyatso: (chuckling along with Nazo) "Yes, only a harmless joke Ho-ho"

Omoshiro runs quickly back to them still filled with tears and fears.

Omoshiro: "HARMLESS!?!?! YOU TWO ARE SICK AND NEED HELP!"

Nazomeita and Gyatso are still bursting with laughter, they found their "harmless" joke very funny.

Nazomeita: (laughing) "Mmm, that's your opinion I guess"

Gyatso: (laughing along) "Yah, your opinion Ho-ho"

Omoshiro: (with his face in his palm) "Whatever, just tell me what I was really brought here for"

Nazo and Gya-sama finally calm down and tell Omo what he was really brought here for.

Nazomeita: (wiping his tears of laughter) "Fine, fine, we'll tell you, Gya-sama, care to explain...?"

Gyatso: (Digging his nose) "Mmm, I don't feel like it, you tell him Ho-ho"

Nazomeita eyes glimmer when Gyat-sama gives the honor of Nazo to explain why Omo was brought to the temple, he feels so important in this moment.

Nazomeita: (confidently) "Well if I may, Omo-san, we brought you here, because you're the... next Protector of the Temple."

Omoshiro is very confused at the very moment, he doesn't really understand what Nazo is getting at.

Omoshiro: "Next protector of the temple?"

Gyatso: "Yes, exactly that"

Nazomeita: "The protectors of the temple-"

Gyatso quickly cuts off Nazo.

Gyatso: "Nazo..."

Nazomeita: "Gyat-sama...?"

Gyatso: "I was speaking. You fool!"

Nazomeita: (with his head faced down and embarrassed) "M-My apologies...Gyat-sama."

Gyatso: (clears throat) "Anyways, as Nazo was saying, the protectors of the temple go way back, back to the Pre-Dawn era, when the world was still developing and new islands and countries were being established by people who are known as the Gods of the world."

Omoshiro: "What does the temple have to do with everything?"

Nazomeita: "Pretty much everything"

Omoshiro: (aggravated) "WHAT IS THAT MEANT TO MEAN YOU FOOL!"

Gyatso: "What it's meant to mean, is that when every important place was being established, the Gods needed places to keep important pieces of history."

Omoshiro: "Important pieces of history?"

Nazomeita: "Important information on exactly what happened before the Pre-dawn era..."

Omoshiro is beyond shocked, his mouth wide open, eyes out, tongue poked out and twisted.

Omoshiro: "YOU'RE JOKING! RIGHT!?!?!?!"

Gyatso: "Yes, exactly that Ho-ho."

Omoshiro: (still shocked) 'HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT SO CASUALLY!?!?"

Nazomeita: "We've been alive for a while, it's not as shocking once you're used to it."

Omoshiro is stuck in utter shock, he's pale, he can't believe these guys mentioned an event that is known as one of the best Legends in all of history.

Gyatso: "Anyways, back to what we were saying, the Gods needed several places to hold this information, and the Ancient temple was one of them, they called it "Himitsu no seiiki"(Secret Sanctuary)."

Nazomeita: "For years and years there were trusted protected chosen by the Gods themselves, to protect the events of what happened before the reestablishment of the world."

Omoshiro: "Wait, wait, wait, wait a minute!"

Nazomeita and Gyatso look at Omo waiting for what he has to say.

Omoshiro: "So what you're trying to say to me is that i am a God-chosen protector of this temple?!"

Nazomeita: (nods) "Well if you put it like, basically yes, you are the next chosen protector of the secrets...or at least this point, the valuable items in this temple..."

Omoshiro: "Huh? What is that meant to mean??"

Gyatso: "What it's meant to mean is that..."

Nazomeita: (sighs) "T-The secrets...t-the...s-secrets..."

Nazo just can't seem to say whats going on, he is tongue-tied.

Omoshiro: "JUST SAY IT GODDAMN IT!"

Gyatso: "The secrets were stolen a while back!"

There is a split moment of silence

Omoshiro: "Stolen...? What do you mean stolen!"

Gyatso: "We don't exactly know what, but all we know years back... the secrets we're found and spread out through the world, but luckily no one at the time knew how to read the languages that were set out into the artifacts that apparently had everything recorded from the unknown event."

Nazomeita: "Well except one person at that time... The sun's first son."

Omoshiro: (shocked) "THE SUN'S FIRST SON!?!?!"

Gyatso: "Ahh, yes,him, that one"

Omoshiro: (still shocked) "As in the ancient Pirate The Sun's first son!?!? The captain of the Sun God Pirates!?!? The man known as the...t-t-t-the...GOD OF ALL PIRATES!?!?!"

Nazomeita: (sighs) "Yes, that one"

Omoshiro: (Shocked) "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"

Gyatso: "Hmm, you seem to know a few things about him...? You've ever heard of him?"

Omoshiro: (excited) "OF COURSE! Every pirate has to know the great tale of "The God of ALL pirates", it's just common pirate sense to know about him."

Nazomeita: "Hmmm, i guess so."

Omoshiro: "But besides that...how did he even get the secrets out there?"

Gyatso: "Well no one really knows the true story, but legend says that: One day, he once arrived here at the Sanctuary of the Gods, and raided the whole place, and sailed away, and while on voyage after reading each artifact, he left it at an important island or country for future generations to find and learn about the supposed missing 1000 years of missing information, information on the world."

Nazomeita: (sighs) "Ever since then, protectors were still chosen to protect the island, since it is a very important place in the world and is important to the world's history"

Omoshiro is starting to see everything clearly now, he understand why he was brought here now and he gets what role Gyat-sama and Nazo-san play in this situation.

Omoshiro: "Hmm, I see, but...why me?"

Gyatso: "Well that's self-explanatory, because the Gods chose you, no more...no less."

There is a moment of silence after Gyat-sama says the words he just said, and everyone is just currently staring at each other waiting for Omo to speak up.

Omoshiro: (sighs as he stands up) "Well then... From this day forth, i will be known as the "Protector" Kayan Omoshiro!"

Nazomeita and Gyat-sama's faces lighten up slowly, as they are happy to hear that Omoshiro has finally agreed to his role as a protector chosen by the Gods, it will be a tough journey from this day on, but it seems like nothing Omo can't handle.

[Scene 5]

[Back in the present day]

We're greeted in the present day with the current day Omo and Aiko, who are now sitting up on a hill where Omo was telling Aiko the whole story of how he became the sworn protector of the island.

Aiko: "COOL!!! I never knew you had such an interesting past, to be honest... I thought you were some boring, crazy old man!"

Omoshiro: (laughing) "Hehe, well, that's what most people your age would think."

Aiko: (chuckling) "Well you're a pretty cool guy, you should join my crew!"

Omo is shocked by Aiko's statement, he can't believe he just said that so casually.

*TWONK!*

Aiko: "Ahhhh! What was that for this time old man! I thought we were cool."

Omoshiro: "We are, but that statement was very disrespectful, especially after how i told you i cannot leave this island at any cost!"

AIko: "Yeah, yeah, i was just saying, it would be fun to have such a wise man on my crew, plus you were once a navigator on a pirate ship and even the first-mate, that's an absolute winner of a crew member if you ask me."

Omoshiro: (Blushing a bit) "Stop, stop, i'm flattered, but that's not the point, sure i would be a good candidate, but i'm too old now for any voyage, plus i like the island, it's peaceful and stress free, since we don't get a lot of intruders here."

Aiko: (pouting his lips) "No fun, but it is what it is i guess, but i'll surely come back when i become King of the-"

Omoshiro closes Aiko's lips together so he can finish his sentence.

Omoshiro: (sighs) "Cut the crap."

Aiko: (mumbling) "Wyag du yuo maen"

Omoshiro forgot he had Aiko's lips shut, so he releases his hands from Aiko's lips and Aiko is breathing heavily since he could barely breathe.

Omoshiro: (smiling) "My apologies, hehe."

AIko: "Yeah, yeah. As i was saying, what do you mean "cut the crap"?"

Omoshiro: "What i meant is cut the King of the pirates crap, that term doesn't exist anymore."

Aiko: (obviously triggered by that comment) "WHAT ARE YOU SAYING OLD MAN!?!? The King of the pirates title is still a thing, I've been told tales about it you stupid old man!"

Omoshiro: (sighs) "In this day and age, those tales are considered Folklore, because of how long ago it happened, approximately 2000 and something years have passed since that tale of the KIng of the Pirates."

AIko is heartbroken to hear that all he has ever heard and was told was all folklore and is practically lies that the KIng of the Pirates title still exists to this day.

Aiko: (crying) "I can't believe i've been lied t-to m-m-my whole life!"

Omoshiro: (laughs) "Oh calm down, the King of the pirates sure may not exist anymore, but...there's another dream you can achieve"

Aiko stops crying for a moment to hear what Omo has to say.

Aiko: (wiping his tears) "What are you saying Omo-san?"

Omoshiro: (chuckling) "I'm saying, don't cut your dreams short, there's something similar to becoming the King of the Pirates."

AIko's eyes light up immediately as he hears Omo says there's something similar to becoming King of the Pirates.

AIko: (excited) "What!?!? Tell me, tell me, tell me!!"

Omoshiro: (laughs) "Ok, ok, ok, calm your bosoms"

Aiko calms down and sits back down and listens to what Omo has to say now.

Omoshiro: "Well it was once said before he was publicly taken down by the people who run the world, the legendary pirate left a message that would change the world forever..."

AIko who is highly intrigued by this story and is eager to know what were the pirates last words.

Aiko: (eager) "What were his last words, what, what, what, what, whatt, tell me, tell me, tell me!"

Omoshiro starts to get irritated.

TWONK!

Omoshiro: "SHUT UP! I'm getting to that part"

Aiko: (in pain) "I'm sorry"

Omoshiro: "Thank you. Anyways, before his terrible fate, he said these exact words "I may fall today, but my legacy will endure. Seek the truth hidden in the depths, where time and tide converge. The key to my treasure lies not in gold or jewels, but in the knowledge that can reshape the world." From that day on the world went in a frenzy, pirates, treasure hunters, all those guys, were in search of this treasure that could supposedly reshape the world. Here we are now, 16 years later, and still till this day, pirates all over are in search of this treasure, i honestly thought they would give up, but seems they are some determined people, plus akin to finding the treasure, the finder would officially be deemed the Conqueror of the seven seas."

Aiko who was shaken by this story, is now determined to find this ancient treasure.

AIko: (excited) "WOWW!!!!! This pirate sure sounded like quite the man, i hope to find his

treasure and live up to his dream of reshaping the world and i will become...The Conqueror of the seven seas."

Omoshiro: (laughing) "Hmph, you're quite the determined one, but let me tell you this, it certainly won't be easy, several notorious pirates seek this treasure, and these aren't just your regular pirates, there are monsters out there, willing to kill anyone for such power."

Aiko: (grins) "Hehe, whatever it is, I will do anything for that treasure, i will risk everything i have."

Omoshiro chuckles upon hearing Aiko's determination, he likes that Aiko won't give up just because his told the dangers of what could happen.

Omoshiro: (chuckles) "Well i guess before you embark on this new journey, you're gonna need a crew."

Aiko: (grinning) "Hmm, i guess you're right, i'm gonna need a crew, a crew with people who i'll be able to call my friends and trust them with my life."

Omoshiro: (laughing) "Damn right!"

Aiko: (chuckling) "Speaking of, do you by any chance know where i could find some crew mates?"

Omoshiro: (sighs while laughing) "Oh boy, i can't tell you where, that's your own destiny and responsibility, it's up to you to decided who will join your crew and become those trusted friends you're looking for and where you will find them."

Aiko: (chuckling) "heh, i guess you're right on that one."

Omoshiro: (yawning) "Well what i can do is tell you the nearest place from here, but from there on, you're on your own."

Aiko: (Smiling wide) "Perfect!"

Omoshiro then gets up and he quickly draws Aiko a map to his next destination, Aiko's journey truly begins a place known as: Sunrise Republic.

[Scene 6]

Omoshiro: (yawns while stretching) "Ah, there you go young lad, that's map to your next destination, Sunrise Republic, quite a peaceful country if you ask me."

Aiko: (grinning) "Thank you so much old man."

Omoshiro: (chuckling) "Anytime, you better accomplish that dream of yours, if not...i'll find you and force you to accomplish, if at any given moment, you feel like stopping, giving up or you have lost all hope, just remember me...Omo-san!"

Aiko: (Laughing) "heh, for an old man, you're quite the tough one."

Omoshiro laughs at Aiko's comment, Omo is quite the tought one, i guess thats what 25 plus years of protecting something does to a man.

Omoshiro: (stretching) "With that being said, i think it's about time to you set sail for you're next voyage, and the start of your journey to becoming Conqueror of the seven seas."

Aiko grins at Omo, and nods his head in agreement, i guess it is about time Aiko heads for Sunrise Republic, also the start of his journey to accomplishing his dream.

[Scene 7]

It's about time to set sail for his next adventure. With a determined heart and a map in hand, Aiko stands up, ready to embark on his journey to Sunrise Republic and beyond. Omoshiro watches with a mixture of pride and nostalgia as Aiko prepares to leave, knowing that he is about to begin an adventure that will shape his destiny.

Aiko: (grinning) "Hey Omo-san, when i find the Conqueror's treasure, i'll make sure to come back and i'll share the story of the whole journey to you! Thats a promise."

Omoshiro: (Laughing) "Well then, i'm expecting for you to keep that promise, but I know you wont break your promise."

As Aiko walks away, Omoshiro calls out to him one last time.

Omoshiro: "Remember, Aiko, the path ahead won't be easy, but with determination and courage, you can overcome any challenge that comes your way. And never forget, true strength comes not from power or treasure, but from the bonds you forge with those who stand by your side."

Aiko nods, a determined glint in his eyes, ready to face whatever lies ahead. With a final wave to Omoshiro, he sets off on his journey, the wind at his back and the sun shining down on him. And as he sails towards the horizon, Omoshiro watches him go, knowing that a new legend is about to be born.

Aiko smiles and laughs before setting sail, as his sail is up, Aiko slowly drifts away from the island while waving at Omo-san, he hopes to see Omo-san again, but he knows that he will, he will keep his promise no matter what it takes, for now, Aiko's main goal is to form a pirate crew that will help achieve his dream of becoming the "Conqueror of the sevens". This is just the beginning of Aiko's thrilling story.

Omoshiro: (to himself) "Farewell...straw hat"
