Journey to One Piece

43. All forms

Those were the arrogant words spoken by Nami as she joined the group. Honestly, at this point due to the actions of Zoro and Ken she had become kind of a tsundere. She didn't know how to react in front of Ken and Zoro. According to her Ken was more of a terrible human being than Zoro.

Zoro's sword slices were explainable but not the thunder. Only with the Devil Fruit she could explain the power and if it was then the devil fruit this person ate was terrifying. These were all the thoughts that were going on in her head.

The 4 set sailed and it was time to go for their main ship, Going Merry and also picking up Ussop, the God. The person whose lies became truth later. The lie about him having thousands of fleet later came to be true. There were many such instances where his lies weren't lies in the future.

If this was not God than who was? Ussop was a coward for sure but at times his bravery and quick thinking saved many. Enies Lobby arc, Thriller Bark arc, Dressrosa arc. The tiny things which proved impossible for others turned out to be too easy for this person.

He really was an enigma. Ken, in his previous life at the beginning he never liked his character of Ussop and didn't understand why he was in the group. Maybe purely for comedic relief but later as the series went by this character grew on him. Oda had really done an excellent job in character progression.

But also along the way to Syrup village where Ussop lived they came across the Island of rare animals. They came across Gaimon who lived in a box and said that he was guarding the treasure uphill that he could never get tto.

Of course Luffy being Luffy offered his help and went high up the cliff to get the treasure for Gaimon. It was there Nami saw Luffy's weirdness and understood that their captain too was a demon.

This guy walked vertically!!

Who the fuck is this? And why is the crew so weird? And his body acted like rubber too. 'Fuck it... I should stop thinking about them."

Nami was particularly looking forward to the so-called treasure only to find out that it was nothing. Luffy actually wanted Gaimon to join his crew later but he refused as he wanted to take care of the animals that lived on the island. The animals were really very weird looking. The animals looked like they came straight out of the spy kids movie in his past life.

After this small incident, they set sail again. As time went by Nami finally got used to the group. According to her, this small group of three has total different personalities.

'Zoro works very hard. He either sleeps, or drinks, or practice his ass off or gets lost. There was no in between but surprisingly he can be trusted. His new styles of practice is what surprised me. The red sword which could emit fire as he dances with it is the main point of his practice. But apparently doing this takes a toll on his lungs and he needs to recover.'

'Ken is the most logical and serious guy in the group. He is probably more powerful than the idiot captain but he has chosen to follow his brother which makes no sense. There is always a kind of mystery around him as he seems not to be fazed by anything. Only the sea, the islands, the adventure gives him a sense of joy but not the people. He interacts very less with everyone but he could always be trusted.'

'The captain of the ship is an idiot. He has no idea of what he is doing. He screams that he is a ninja and he takes that label with pride. And from the legends that I know of a ninja he probably is a ninja. Walking on water, using kunai to kill fishes and eat them. And even using thunder once to kill a big sea king. It was there I was sure that the captain and Ken are almost at the same level of power. His power is not the thing that fascinates me, but his smiling face and a weird charm that allows people to trust him and to bring people together.'

These were the stickers that Nami had put on the forehead of three crew members. She didn't mind them, in fact she was more free than ever as she joined the group. With those happy thoughts in her mind the ship had set sail to the Syrup Village where they could get a new and better ship to go to the Grand Line because this ship wasn't going to last long.

Zoro was progressing fast with his new breathing styles. After he came out from the simulation he was able to do the beast breathing even in sleep. Right now he was trying the thunder breathing even when he was sleeping.

This was annoying to Zoro as he loved his sleep very much. But since he had already learnt beast breathing, he was trying to concentrate on the thunder part now. And it was a little painful for Zoro too who already had a tough physique.

"Zoro don't push yourself." Ken said as he saw Zoro sweating while he was trying the thunder breathing. Unlike Zenitsu, he was trying all forms of thunder. Zenitsu only learnt one style and did PhD on it.

But Zoro, who already had the memories of the times when the master of Zenitsu had taught him, he was determined to complete everything. Even with the styles that Zenitsu had performed. And of course he was trying the sun breathing, but the progress was slower.

But according to Luffy and Ken, he was fast. Ken and Luffy had to struggle for years to complete their training and only now they were on the verge of completion.
