"I don't want to be a god," Luffy would say, looking at it. Yeah, it was him.
"I want to be a pirate, the king of the pirates."
Kairo chuckled a bit.
"The fruit's all about freedom. You don't have to restrict yourself, so it's fine if you don't want to be a god. When this fruit awakens, you get Toon Force."
"Toon Force?" The confusion was apparent. Kairo took out a small comic book of this world's equivalent of Tom and Jerry.
"You'll basically be able to do what they're doing."
Luffy's eyes seemed to shine brightly—so he could do that? So cool.
Though he'd need to awaken his fruit first.
"Pipe down, master your Gear 4 first before thinking of that."
Luffy looked like a kid offered candy, only to have that candy taken away. How mean.
Though...
"So... are my moves now going to be called Hito-Hito no Mi? Man, I was used to Gum-Gum..."
"Keep the Gum-Gum. For the safety of the crew and for us not to get ganked by the full might of the navy, keep the Gum-Gum name," Kairo said.
Luffy paused... The thought of his crew's safety being jeopardized had him locked in. Okay, he would keep the Gum-Gum name.
And thus, after this massive lore drop, Kairo would turn to Nami...
"Aren't you supposed to be navigating the ship?"
"I mean, yeah..."
"If you're here... then who's keeping the cloud below us active?" Ussop would say.
There was a brief pause...
"HAAAAAAA!!" ×2
"Yeahhh!" Luffy sounded excited as the ship plummeted toward the sea.
Luckily, Nami was able to catch it, and Ussop—the engineer he was—had placed some of his blood on some of the extra wood underneath the ship, so he simply exploded them at the same time to stop the fall. All Nami had to do was place her cloud slightly beneath it. Like that, the Merry didn't take too much of a beating.
So anyway, they made their way toward Water 7 and got there quite fast, though they did stop by a grandma and little girl's house—someone Kairo knew. Who Bob was, he didn't question it at all.
She gave them a BS map of where to find the mayor. Cool. They went to the city, and due to Kairo's warning, didn't go in. Kairo did fly over the city once or twice and was able to find where Franky should be.
"On the edge of town," were his words.
He would hand Nami a seal.
"You, Luffy, and Ussop get this gold transferred into cash. Bare minimum you should get is 350 million berries."
"350 million?!" Luffy's eyes lit up, and Kairo just smiled a bit. He was truly innocent—an idiot, but innocent.
"Sanji and Chopper, they don't have any info on you guys, so you can do whatever you want," Kairo said.
His gaze landed on Robin.
"I'll be fine. I'm not a child."
Kairo nodded. Welp, time for him to find Cutty Flame—or whatever his name was now.
POV change.
Inside Galley-La, in an abandoned building, some people could be seen. Most of them seemed to be Galley-La workers, with one bartender. They were listening to a Den-Den Mushi.
"We got orders from the higher-ups. Nico Robin is in Water 7..."
Lucci could feel some fear in the man's voice. Sure, he was a coward, but damn, why was he scared to even say her name?
"Someone higher up will join you for this mission to make sure it's completed."
As Lucci pondered who it might be, suddenly, a chilling presence filled the air. It felt like death itself was around them.
The trained killers felt like prey.
"So this is CP5," the man said coldly as he entered the room, wearing his fancy outfit and all.
Lucci realized something... this was a God Knight.
"Bunch of weaklings," the man said, feeling disgusted to even be around them.
"Well, since I have to work with you all, I'll say this—stay out of my way. Your only purpose is to capture Nico Robin. If you fail, I will personally kill each and every single one of you—or sell you as slaves to the Celestial Dragons."
The man's voice was cold as his eyes landed on the woman.
"I'm sure they would have fun with you."
Kalifa felt true dread. Her ass knew for a fact what was going to happen to her. Getting diddled was not something on her list.
"Understood?" the man said.
"Yes," everyone replied, to which the man showed no expression.
Fucking filthy bugs.
He'd rather not have to cooperate with those lesser life forms, but he had to do what he had to do.
Even with his godly power given to him by God herself/themselves, he wasn't confident he could get Robin and defeat Kairo at the same time. Like sure, he could outlast him—immortality for the win—but he couldn't do both. Outlasting him would take days if the reports were anything to go by, and taking Robin would also have some risk. So he, unfortunately, needed the H-word... yes, he was too prideful to say he needed {8 5 12 16}.
A/N: The number spells "help," by the way.
