One Piece: Unreal Adventure-Chapter 72: He Has that effect on people

"Do you think Captain and Nami are alright?" Sanji asked, he was inside, cooking a meal of rice, meat, and bean sprouts for them. "They most likely missed dinner..." it was already getting dark, they would reach the island by tomorrow morning.

"It's possible, but then again, Captain Luffy knows how to cook... and he can fish just as well, but in a small boat, it might be hard. But then again, they left a few hours ago, and Nami's great at navigating the waters, maybe they are already on the island." Coby replied, already somewhat recovered from the battle.

Coby was still getting used to his fruits, and now because of the fruit powers, his full battle powers changed, so he opted to learn from Sanji about kicks and his footwork.

Sanji was also interested in how Coby would incorporate his black leg style with his fruit and offered some tips. Which concluded in Coby getting his ass kicked, literally. With Coby's powers, Sanji didn't need to hold back that much, and Coby seemed to abuse his powers.

What Coby needed right now was to face opponents of all kinds and develop his fighting style. It was good that almost all of the members of the crew were stronger than him, and used different styles... it will make it easier for him to find his own style of fighting.

It's only been a day since the incident happened and Coby got his powers... but the boy was eager to push himself. He set a lofty goal from himself. He wanted to be a hero, he didn't know how he would accomplish it as a pirate but he would make it possible somehow. And he needed strength for it.

Also, Coby seemed also knowledgeable about food, and cooking. Which led the chief to ask the boy for some help... though Coby wasn't doing any of the cooking, just passing around the ingredients to the chief.

"I don't know much about the Conomi Islands, but I remember hearing that it didn't have much Marine presence. Even so, Alvida still avoided them because of rumors about 'Saw Tooth' Arlong." Coby said, while he helped Sanji.

The cook hummed, "Is he another guy like Krieg?"

"No... he's what you would call Fishman. And they say they are ten times stronger then normal men." Coby said, now after seeing many things in his small journey, he was getting used to the being skeptical of rumors. Unless another warlord drops by they should be safe... probably. "Do you know anything about them?"

Sanji smirked, "I know of mermaids."

Coby chuckled warily, "Yeah, you would know of them." he muttered.

"Wait did you say Arlong?" Johnny asked as he entered the kitchen, slamming the door open. "As in 'Saw Tooth' Arlong?"

"Oh, really now?" Sanji said, not interrupting the panic in the two swordsmen duo.

"Don't tell me that's where we are going, Big Bro," Yosaku said from behind Johnny. "Arlong is a Fishman from the Grand Line. He's not human. He's way over mine and Johnny's class for now."

But then thinking about the rest of the crew they grew in some confidence, "But I'm sure we can handle them. We won't back down from some Grand Line reject"

Sanji ear's perked at the mere mention of the Grand Line, for others it might be a place for disaster, but for him, it was kind of like home... even though he was technically from North blue, most of the time they had to move. Well, he and his mother at least, until his so-called family found them.

Sanji's fist tightened at that memory. But he knew he wasn't strong enough, yet.

"I saw Nami get startled at the mention of Arlong" Coby offered, breaking the chief out his thoughts. "I'm afraid she's mixed up with him somehow if that's where she's headed. Do you think she has a history with him?"

Sanji looked at Coby, "Well, if I see that so-called fish even trying to harm Nami, then he's going to be in deep trouble... but then again, with how much captain cares for his crew, I can see him doing far worse if things come to that."

While Sanji might not like the idea of Luffy being alone with Nami. But from how he saw Luffy acted, he was a man who could be trusted. He wouldn't let Nami get hurt. Luffy had an air around him that made people trust him. Nami would be safe with him, that was for sure.

"I'm worried about her," Sanji admitted, though there was no change in his disposition. "I don't know Nami that much, not much about my new captain either, but I trust him. I wouldn't just follow anyone."

"Well, captain might be..." not finding the words. "luffying around most of the times, but in serious situations, you can count on him to have your back." Coby nodded, "That was also the reason why I joined him."

"Yeah, but you'd said you wanted to be a marine. You changed your mind." Johnny said.

"Well, Luffy does have that effect on people," Yosaku said.

Coby then perked up, "Hey, then why don't you join our crew... I mean you guys are cool and know a ton of stuff... I bet you could even give most of the fish-men run for their money."

"Who us?" Johnny looked at Yosaku... "But we didn't get invited to the crew... but we wouldn't mind following a man like Luffy."

Yosaku nodded, "Yeah, we aren't that strong in the grand scheme of things..."

Sanji tilted his head, "Why don't you ask Luffy to join the crew... strength can be gained in the grandline, there's Haki, then six navy techniques even devil fruits... I don't have a say in this... but I think if you are bold enough to ask Luffy, he won't completely outright reject it."

"Yeah, you should ask captain, with how he is, he might actually have forgotten to ask you to join his crew." Coby said, "Well, unless you have any plans to settle down in the east blue, why not sail with us?"

Johnny and Yosaku thought for a while and nodded. They would ask the rubber boy next time, though they were a bit afraid of getting rejected.
