28 Everyone Thoughts (1/2)

As his crew spread out over the island/ship Larch was, supposedly the next one, until he sensed a huge danger coming from the sea behind them.

Larch: You are an impatient one aren't you. Nojiko take Pluton and run.

Nojiko: Larch-kun.

Larch: Do it.

Larch spoke in a firm voice, making Nojiko stunned, but she walked towards the controls room, while Larch was beginning to walk towards the back of the ship with his arms in each side.

Larch: It's time for battle.

In each of his hands appeared a sword, on the right hand appeared a purple one, while on the left it was a red one.

On Gecko Moria ship.

Beth: Captain seem weird, he always is the one to charge first, than sending his crew, so just one possibility remains and that is that a stronger being is in the sea than this ship.

Beth was walking down a path, until she felt something near her, making her stop in the process.

Beth: Why don't you come out here, even though i can't see i can sense sometimes.

???: What would you know, a beautiful woman like you can sense me.

Suddenly in front of Beth a human with features of a lion appeared.

???: Pardon me, my name is Absalom and what will be yours my lady.

Beth: I don't think that you need to know.

While saying that, Beth emanated a calm, almost invisible aura.

Absalom: Well i feel bad that my future wife wants to battle me, but what can i do?

As he spoke, he started disappearing, becoming invisible again.

Beth: That is a troublesome ability.

Closing her eyes, Beth used the Observation Haki, but still she didn't find anything that may reveal Absalom presence.

Bang

While she was trying to figure out where he was, she got kicked in the back by him, projecting her into the woods.

In another location.

Kuina: ”This time i won't be doing anything.”

--------------------------------------------------------------

Flashback:

As Kuina was jumping from tree to tree, in skypeia.

Kuina: ”Why did Nojiko left like that, why did she have that kind of face.”

As she had at the battlefield, she found Larch holding Nojiko with a sad face.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Kuina: ”I won't let that repeat again.”

As Kuina was walking, she felt a presence in front of her.

Kuina: You can come out.

The person that came out was someone that she wasn't expecting to appear there.

???: Hi Kuina-san long time no see.
