Chapter 124: I Just Want It All I
.................
"How? They look so different?" Yovan said with surprise.
"They look the same," Kalifa stressed, sitting on his lap, right on the crow's head.
"No, they don't! Look, Sunny looks sunny. Gloom looks gloomy. Misfortune looks cute. Isn't it obvious?" Her words were getting on Yovan's nerves as he gently patted the three Everless crows.
"Am I making you angry?" Kalifa said with a giggle, "Then how about punishing me like I punish you? Perhaps then I will understand."
What she got was a pinch in the cheek, "You became pretty naughty, huh?"
"Nope, I was always this naughty." Kalifa sensually responded in his ears.
They looked like lovers, and they kind of are lovers... It's just that that's probably as far as it can go, something Kalifa realized.
Yovan made sure she understands that he doesn't want a relationship. Those kinds of responsibilities, he isn't interested in, not just yet.
There were too many uncertainties in his life, so he wanted nothing to tie him down, not in that way, especially after what Madam Shyarly told him of the future, what little she had seen.
Yovan didn't want to deceive himself into thinking that's really the main reason, he just doesn't want a partner... He is a free soul.
Yovan is the Absolute Survivor, no one else is, so will she or anyone else be able to persevere against all odds? The future already answered his question.
"Hm?" Yovan turned his head around, eyeing Viola who was standing not far away, "That's a dangerous road you're walking on..." He warned.
"I just want to know the kind of Captain and crew I will be a part of from now on," Viola remarked as she walked closer.
She is quite mischievous and bold, trying to see through Yovan's words, whether he speaks lies or not, his true thoughts. She does so quite a lot.
"In case you want to know, I almost never tell lies, I just omit certain facts," Yovan said with a smile.
"I know, and those facts, I want to know... Like, why am I here? What do you want from me? You can just kill me and get rid of the possibility that I'll ever tell or use my powers against you." Viola questioned, seeming truly perplexed, but not really afraid for her life.
"Haha," Yovan let out a chuckle that soon turned into, "Haha Yahahaha! You must be jesting. I'll of course not kill you, your powers are of value to me... If you betray me, It's not you I will be killing."
"You're really honest... Too honest," Viola murmured with a gloomy look. That's why she feared betraying him in any way.
He has no horse in the race that's Dressrosa, not like Dofflamingo, so he can eradicate it overnight, and she knows he can do so. She had seen the outcome of his battle with Doflamingo... Horrifying.
"Cap! I think I found it!" Laffitte yelled from the deck of the ship, still steering the wheel.
They were looking for the Vinsmoke family, a royal bloodline that rules the Germa Kingdom, as well as the former dynastic conquerors and rulers of the North Blue.
However, the Germa kingdom as far as Yovan knows is constantly in motion, known as the Kingdom of Science, the world's only seafaring kingdom, and a member nation of the World Government.
Luckily, Morgans have deep ties with the nation, so he was able to guide Yovan enough to their location.
Laffitte then took over by finding the exact coordinates, using his Siren Powers. Yovan doesn't understand them quite well, but it's almost like he can talk with the sea, and hear the sounds that were once there, thus the ability to track down the moving kingdom.
The Kingdom was indeed what one can call a nation without land. Its "territory" is comprised of platforms surrounded by railings, that are built on the shells of large snails resembling Den Den Mushi.
The Strangers could see it from afar, just like the people of the Kingdom could see the enormous Seizon No Hono from afar.
"Bege," That's all Yovan had to say for Bege to open a small door on his shoes, allowing Viola to slowly shrink as she entered it, hiding in the fortress.
Bege then turned into his tiny fortress form before Yovan tied him around his blade.
The Don is after all dead, so he can not be seen in public, and the same could be said for Viola because her being with them may bring suspicion to them.
Yovan was, in fact, so thorough that he even coated Enyo, his blade in Armament Haki at all times despite how draining that is, turning the once emerald blade completely inky.
And soon, someone came to receive them, two individuals in fact. The first was a man, a red-haired man with curly eyebrows. His most distinctive feature is his curly eyebrows that form a spiral that resembles the numeral 6.
The other was a beautiful pink-haired woman. Just like the same, her eyebrows also form a spiral that resembles 6, albeit in opposite direction.
Her attire compromises of a light pink dress with a split in the center going down to her stomach and her navel, fitting her pink hair quite well.
Their relatively small ship stopped right by Seizon No Hono, and the two didn't waste time as they jumped onboard.
"Vinsmoke Ichiji," The man introduced himself casually.
"Vinsmoke Reiju," The woman introduced herself as she looked up at Yovan, the tall beast that he is.
"Yovan Night," Yovan also did the same.
"What brought you here? Without any prior notice or an invite." Reiju asked.
"To meet the King of course," Yovan responded as if it was a matter of course.
"Hehe, That's cute," Reiju said with a giggle, "Do you think we'd allow you to meet the King just like that? And don't bother about your identity, we know you, Stranger."
"Yeah," Yovan nodded as threw her a fruit, a SMILEs Devil Fruit, "Show it to the King, and tell him, I'm here to talk business."
"Bring him in," Before she can say anything, a voice sounded from a tiny Den Den Mushi tied to Reiju's waist.
"Follow me," Reiju frowned, but nonetheless complied. She guided them toward where they should dock, all while hearing the insanity coming out of their mouth.
"This place smells funny," Laffitte commented.
"Funny how?" Kaku asked.
"Too clean, you know?" Laffite said.
"I don't get it?" Kaku was confused.
"Like, imagine if, for some unknown reason, those big snails were to be opened in half, and all the gooey stuff inside of them just came out gushing, wouldn't that make this place more alive?" Laffitte innocently explained.
"Huh? No! They're kinda cute!" Kaku firmly shook his head.
"Hm, you have a good point," Yovan said while stroking his chin.
"I know, right? They're super cute." Kaku nodded happily.
"No, I meant Laffitte had a good point. I'm kinda curious about how the gooey stuff would gush out and what scenery that would paint. Perhaps it would be worthy of a painting... There is gooey stuff inside of them, right?" Yovan said with pure curiosity.
"There should be, right? I have never dissected a snail," Laffitte also started stroking his chin, "Now I'm curious."
"Please stop joking around about such things," And god did Reiju not want them to just stop. There was only so much she can handle, aside from the fact that they were basically threatening to bring down the Kingdom.
"Yeah, let's stop," Yovan also agreed, "Some weird urges are rising within me the more we talk about those things. I may not be able to stop myself."
"You don't have to stop yourself," Laffitte was the devil in everyone's mind.
"No, please do stop yourself." If she didn't already see the strangness of the Strangers, then she was seeing it now.
"Well well, what do we have here!?" By this point, they had already left the Ship. In fact, they had already entered the Vinsmoke Palace, thus meeting another Vinsmoke.
"Niji, please stop. Our father wants to meet him." Reiju tried to save the situation, but it seems that in contrast to the silent Ichiji, Niji was quite vocal.
"We're just trying to test the new arrival, to see if he's worthy of meeting the king." Another Vinsmoke commented.
"You too Yonji?" Reiju just shook her head, not that interested in stopping the duo, the blue-haired Niji, and the green-haired Yonji.
"Six," Yovan commented.
"What?" Niji asked with confusion.
"What does six means?" Yovan asked.
"Why?" Niji asked with perplexity.
"I mean, your eyebrow is talking to me, and it's saying six, so I'm curious." Yovan pointed out the oddity of all the siblings' eyebrows resembling a six.
"..."
"Pfft hahahaha!"
"Luahahahahah! It does!"
"Now, your veins are speaking to me, why are they popping off? You okay?" Yovan had to ask again... He definitely knows what he's doing and what kind of fire he's lighting up.
