Chapter 44 - It has begun!

After a couple of minutes they arrived at the outskirt of amazon lily, there he saw his ship "Azrael" and his crew. he saw jared,ron and zia eating on a big table with the others.

When they saw seth and hanc.o.c.k arrive zia immediately ran towards seth "Big brother!! where have you been again?! I was looking for you everyday but big sister hanc.o.c.k told me that you trained on a different island" she then pouted.

(Haaay this pouting expression again) "I'm sorry zia but big brother really needed to train so that I could protect everyone from baddie pirates." zia upon hearing seth reason harrumphed "well I'll forgive you because you're doing this to protect everyone."

She then immediately became cheerful again "Let's eat big brother come sit beside me." seth can't do anything but to sit beside zia, he shot a pleading look on hanc.o.c.k but she just giggled at his ordeal.

Jared then walked towards seth and hugged him tightly "Boss! I missed you soo much! we really suffered on barbarous island that island was hell on earth." seth laughed at jared's complaints he then asked "So who was the lucky guy to eat the bat-bat fruit?"

A tall bald guy immediately stood up then bowed at seth "My name is Mark and I was the one who got the devil fruit thanks to boss seth's kind grace." then Jared explained. "Mark is my first mate and he was the one who trained the hardest he also awakened his observation and armament haki."

Seth was happy hearing this he then looked at Jared "So how about you? What have you awakened?" hearing seth's question jared puffed his c.h.e.s.t proudly "I also awakened my observation and armament haki boss!" seth nodded "That's good because if you didn't awaken both of them I would've thrown you on the sea."

Jared shuddered hearing this he knew that his boss wasn't kidding he was thankful that he trained seriously this past 4 months. seth then said "Jared from now on you would disband your crew and join mine, I was planning to only have a few crew members but I think it would be boring so I decided to integrate your crew with mine."

Seth then looked at hanc.o.c.k "I hope you wouldn't be uncomfortable with this princess" Hanc.o.c.k smiled towards seth "Dear, don't worry I wont be uncomfortable if you're by my side." seth nodded clearly happy that hanc.o.c.k would even ignore her disgust towards men just to stay with him.

He then looked at Ron "So how about you? what have you achieved from training this past 2 months" Ron smiled wearily "You called that training? Words can't even describe what I went through the past 2 months." seth laughed because he was the one who told the trainers to increase ron training.

Ron continued "But I awakened my observation and armament haki" seth nodded he knew even though ron was complaining he trained hard to not disappoint him.

Seth then stood up then said "I am happy that all of you trained hard this past few months and that no one died while training, I know you've improved that's why we would be starting our official journey in 3 days! (ooooooh!) We would first go to sabaody archipelago I heard that there are plenty of strong pirates staying there.

Seth then looked at hanc.o.c.k "Princess you won't be joining me on this trip okay? you already know that there would be a war coming so I want you to stay here and be ready, also call me if anything happens on the island." Hanc.o.c.k nodded in response she knew that when the war will begin she would officially leave her position as a warlord of the sea and become the first mate of seth.

"But before we begin our journey we should celebrate! because all of you survived the harsh training on barbarous island!" they then continued partying now with a more cheerful atmosphere.

Hanc.o.c.k then sat beside seth then leaned her head on his shoulder "Dear, When you reach sabaody there's a high chance that you would meet some celestial dragons." she then looked at seth straight in eye and continued "I know that you told me last time that if you ever meet a celestial dragon you would immediately kill, but please if you ever meet them please stay low I know you're strong but I'm just afraid that something might happen to you if you ever fight against them."

When seth heard hanc.o.c.k he was quiet for a moment then started ti c.a.r.e.s.sed her hair "Don't worry princess they can't do anything to me, it's not that I'm overconfident, but I know that I can now stand my ground against them so no need to worry about it."

Hanc.o.c.k hearing seth's response just held him tightly she knew that she can't persuade seth, and just prayed that nothing bad would ever happen to seth, when seth felt hanc.o.c.k held him tighter he hugged her and kissed her on the forehead to calm her down.

He then said to everyone "Okay enjoy yourself everyone and be ready in three days, I would be with my princess in this 3 days and no one must disturb us" he then looked towards zia then said with a msile "Ofcourse little zia is a exemption" he then ruffled the giggling loli's head and flew towards the snake palace with hanc.o.c.k.

The crew just sighed because their captain is really lucky to have the most beautiful woman as his wife, they then continued their banquet because within 3 days they would start their journey.
