Chapter 74: Odd Antics and Cabin

Chapter 74: Odd Antics and Cabin

_________ POV Narration_________

The journey towards the Sky Islands only took a week or two.

Enel spent those days rather calmly, sometimes going below the clouds to retrieve a newspaper and to hunt down another Sea King.

Bonney was known for her gluttony, and the fact that she looked younger now certainly didn't change that, although Enel felt it should have...

Enel was able to see more and more of the Government's public movements thanks to the Newspaper.

They were still parading Aokiji as the new Marine Hero, and Akainu seemed to be praised quite a bit too. for new novels

Sengoku was publically blamed for the failure in the war, but it was unlikely that the Government were punishing him, at least going by what Aokiji had already told him.

Although, Garp's imprisonment could be said to also be a punishment for Sengoku or a threat at the very least.

'If we are willing to arrest the Marine Hero, then you are not any more special.' It was a power move of sorts, that much was obvious.

And Aokiji's fame was rising by the hour, while Garp was slowly but surely being replaced.

It would take a really long time for the World Government to get rid of Garp's influence in the navy though.

The old man's retirement was not even announced publically yet, but the rest of the marines should've known about it by now.

Basically, every single marine that knew Garp would realize that something shady was going on.

Enel could tell that his rescue of Garp was going to mess with a lot of the World Government's plans, which only made him more pleased.

Bonney was currently still in her child from, still thinking of ways to escape from the long-earlobed pervert that had captured her.

She had tried to change herself into an old form, but Enel simply smiled at her and said 'Whatever suits your fancy, I don't mind either way.'

Which creeped her out even more, so she switched back to a younger form, as being old sucked and she didn't exactly like it.

To her, Enel's innocent comments throughout the journey made him seem like some type of sexual deviant.

The fact that weirded her out the most was that Enel was actually not yet taking advantage of her.

It made her think that Enel was like a cat, playing around with his prey as he prepared to eat it whole when it least expected.

The first few nights she only pretended to sleep, before tiredness took over her body and she eventually passed out during the day while eating.

She was rather shocked to wake up unmolested. But when she woke up the view was a lot more shocking...

In the distance, she was able to see two large islands standing above the clouds. The sun shining from behind her was also starting to set, placing a rather beautiful glow on the distant islands.

Enel smiled a bit and yawned when he noticed that she woke up.

"I-..." Bonney wanted to retort, but she ended up clenching her teeth in anger a bit under Enel's cold gaze.

She couldn't exactly deny the fact that she was caught instantly.

It was a stroke of bad luck, but she had almost ended up in the possession of some greasy Celestial Dragons due to that bad luck, so it couldn't be ignored...

"I know you don't like this. I wasn't exactly expecting you to be enthusiastic about this either. But I'll need you to stay put at least for a while until things cool down, then you can go your own way..."

In truth, Enel said the arrangement was temporary only to calm her down.

He planned to befriend her properly during the time she spent there, to make her join him in his quest basically. Which would justify her spending more time on the sky islands and being out of danger.

Enel knew that it was a problematic idea that could go wrong, but he couldn't exactly do much else...

Well, chaining her up with seastone and telling Wyper to feed her from time to time would also work. But Enel wanted to keep that as a last resort for now.

Bonney could be an extremely useful ally with her ability. Enel had quite a few plans for the future, and if a few certain people could return to their prime, then these plans would go a lot smoother...

Enel had no way of knowing how difficult befriending her would be though.

Although she now knew more about his reasons, she still thought that he was a pervert and that it was only a matter of time before he did something 'shady'.

Enel decided to park his boat right outside his cabin, at the edge of Upper Yard(the island made out of the earth).

Enel could see that his cabin was mostly intact, and he could tell that there was no one really nearby.

"This is where we, mostly you, will be living for the following months. It's likely going to be a bit dusty so we'll have to start cleaning it up a bit..."

Enel got off his boat and tapped it with his palm.

The Boat proceeded to morph around Enel's hand and turn into a golden pair of gauntlets, the young Bonney fell on her ass, as she wasn't exactly expecting that to happen.

She found it a bit odd, feeling earth at her feet while so high up. She also swore a bit as she rubbed her behind.

"A warning could've been nice!" She said with an angry tone.

"... Sorry about that." Enel sweated a bit as he realised that they were probably starting off on the wrong foot.

'I was so used to Oven landing on his feet that I forgot other people might not be used to this type of thing...'

He then simply sighed and opened the door to his house, preparing for an hour or two of cleaning...
