Chapter 7: Ch7. Aramaki Join
"Captain, we've arrived," Galdino shouted.
Rein and the others got off, while Kuro guarded the ship.
As was his old habit, Rein went to a restaurant, the easiest place to get information. And sure enough, when he got there, Rein found out that on the south side of Taya Island there was a ship repair shop.
When Rein was about to get up and go to the south of the island to recruit shipwrights, Rein heard interesting news.
"Have you ever heard of a police officer named Aramaki accidentally bumping into a noblewoman while catching a thief, now he's been thrown in jail"
"Aramaki?? Isn't that the strongest member of our Taya kingdom? He can produce plants, and he can't be injured by sharp weapons? Even if he makes a mistake, it's easy for him to escape"
"That's how it should be, but unfortunately he was caught while he was sleeping, and from what I heard, his handcuffs were made of a special material"
"Heheh, what a shame, someone as strong as that who can protect the country from danger is actually in jail"
Rein felt like he had heard wrong,
'Aramaki? Isn't this one of the future admirals'
Closing his eyes, Rein tried to remember these things, then he remembered that the Taya kingdom was Aramaki's birthplace, and he was also a convicted police officer, who was later released by the world government, after becoming an admiral he was a loyal dog of the world's nobles, he was even more loyal than Sakazuki to the government.
'if I free her, she will also be loyal to me' thought Rein.
'worth a try'
Rein who was going to the south of the island, chose to go to prison first.
"captain, where are you going? isn't the south through here?" asked Gin.
"haha, there's someone interesting, I'll try to recruit her" said Rein.
"who is she captain?, is she a woman?" asked Carmen. Carmen felt a little lonely everyone on the ship was all men.
"unfortunately not, but you don't have to be disappointed, I plan to recruit 3 more women so you will have friends to chat with"
"come on"
Rein took his crew to prison, where the security was quite tight.
seeing Rein's group a guard stopped him,
"we want to see a family member, please allow me sir" said Rein while giving 2 gold coins.
The guard who saw that what Rein sent was gold immediately had a good attitude,
"Haha, come in, follow me," the guard led Rein's group in.
"By the way, who are you looking for?" asked the guard.
"I'm visiting Mr. Aramaki"
"Oh, Mr. Aramaki, even though he's a good person, he's in prison just because of a small mistake," said the guard with a sigh.
While talking, they arrived at Aramaki's place in prison. Aramaki looked thin and had messy hair. Aramaki was still 34 years old.
"then my little brother will wait for you outside" said the prison guard.
Aramaki, who felt someone in front of him, opened his eyes. He was confused about who the person in front of him was. He didn't recognize anyone from Rein's group.
Rein looked at Aramaki's data.
Name : Aramaki
Level : 34
Likes : 0
Skills : Combatant lvl 30, Mori-Mori no Mi lvl 30 Haki (Kenbunshoku lvl 25, Busoshoku lvl 25).
This data seems weak, but considering how Koby could become so strong after only training for 2 years, Rein felt that Aramaki would be very strong if he trained systematically when he entered the Marines.
Seeing that the group of people in front of him were not talking, Aramaki asked a question first.
"Who are you guys?"
"I'm Rein, I'm here to invite you to join my pirates"
"Pirates? Haha makes me laugh, I don't want to join criminals"
"You can't decide that I'm evil just because I'm a pirate, in fact you as a police officer are here as a prisoner"
"And also this, let me introduce you X, he used to be in the navy, now he's joining me" said Rein while pointing at X.
"Hehe, yes, I used to be in the navy, the captain once said that I was talented, and talented people should be on the world stage not in the 4 small oceans, also our pirates are different from other pirates, we never attack innocent people" said X.
"How about it? Rather than you being here forever, wouldn't it be better to sail with me"
Aramaki was a little shaken, Rein's words were true unless the royal family freed him, he would be here forever.
After thinking for a long time,
"Okay, I'll join" said Aramaki, Aramaki planned to watch Rein, if they did something bad he would betray Rein and cut off her head to be handed over to the Marines.
"Good" Rein destroyed the iron bars, and then released Aramaki.
walking towards the prison exit, the guard saw Rein taking Aramaki out, before he shouted to the other guards, Rein threw a bag of gold coins,
"brother, can you keep this a secret?" Rein said.
the guard who was already fascinated by the many gold coins quickly nodded, compared to the gold coins worth 100,000 berries with this little thing, of course he chose money.
Rein's group continued to go south of Taya Island,
"this way, do you want to go to the shipwright?" Aramaki asked.
"Yeah, our ship is too small, we will recruit shipwrights, then sail to Northblue to catch pirates to exchange for money, there we will build a ship, also we will stop there for 1-2 years to train"
"Ohh are we going to catch pirates?, aren't we also pirates not bounty hunters"
"I told you, we are different from other pirates, we are on an adventure not intimidating innocent people"
Aramaki felt strange, but he also somewhat agreed with Rein's explanation, an adventurous pirate, he could ride a ship like this.
after arriving at the south of the island, Rein saw 3 people 1 fishman, 2 humans repairing a ship. The fishman helped lift the repair materials to the 2 shipwrights.
approaching Rein somewhat recognized these 3 people, a fishman named Jube, 2 shipwrights named Donavan and Sonieh, all three of them from the Foxy pirates in the future when they met Luffy.
