Chapter 9
Luffy got up to ask: "Who is who?" and fell asleep immediately again. Ace got up to say: "Don't scream so early in the morning!" Haruno also wakes up and answers their worries: "This? He is our new family member." then Dadan asks: "Where did this kid come from? Who are you?" Sabo gets up and asks back: "Me? I'm Sabo! You must be Dadan!" Dadan approaches the little guy and said: "Sabo? I know this name!" Sabo smiled and said: "Is that so? Then I don't need to introduce myself! From today onwards I'm counting on you! Please take care of me!" Dadan: "Take care of you? Don't tell me you will live here from now on..." *puuf* "Don't answer me with a fart!" Finally, Haruno gets out of bed and says: "I'm gonna wait for you guys outside... And Dadan! If you don't accept Sabo I will make trouble for you to answer for when Garp appears again!"
Haruno left the house and ignored what Dadan was saying to him. After a few minutes, Ace, Luffy, and Sabo left the house running. Haruno decided to follow them. His body was currently weaker than Ace's, Luffy's and Sabo's body, but he could still run! While running, Sabo said: "Oh! That's right, I almost forgot!" and stopped running. He looked behind himself and then shouted: "Hey! Dadan! While we are gone, the BlueJam Pirates may appear here! Be careful!" Dorga then asked: "BlueJam? Why?" Sabo then shouted again: "It's because we fought with them! Bye!" and they
Sabo and Ace quickly captured a giant fish and Haruno started cooking it. After some time, the food was ready. The fish was salted and peppered to enhance its taste as well. While eating, Sabo asked Luffy: "Ne... Luffy... You ate an Ak.u.ma no Mi, right?" Luffy answered the question with a small 'hum' so Sabo continued: "So that's why you can't swim..." then Sabo asked again: "Then, what kind of Ak.u.ma no Mi did you eat?" Luffy smiled and said: "The Gomu Gomu!" Sabo: "Gomu Gomu...? You mean rubber?" Luffy nodded and said with pride: "That's right!" Ace then retorted: "You stopped swimming to be a rubber man? That's a useless power..." Luffy: "It's not useless! I have fantastic attacks!" Ace: "Of course, of course. Quite the bravado for a person that can't catch a fis.h.!.+" then Haruno said: "I can't swim either... So... Luffy, don't you want to show them that move you made yesterday?" Luffy said: "Ho! That's right! It is called the Gomu-Gomu no Fusen and with it, I can reflect cannonb.a.l.l.s!" Sabo: "Wow... Can you show it to me?" Luffy: "Of course! But just for you two! Ace can't see it! Don't look! Let's go!"
*fuuushh* (air sucking) Luffy took a deep breath, a really deep one! His body began to grow and he became a ball! "See? It's cool right!?" Haruno smiled at his enthusiasm before Ace kicked the man-made ball, like a real one. Sabo and Ace played soccer with Luffy for a few seconds before he fell in the water and a crocodile appeared, almost eating Luffy. Haruno used his Ak.u.ma no Mi and teleported Luffy to his side before the crocodile closed his maws around him. Luffy said: "Thank you Haru!" Haruno nodded and said to Ace: "Be careful." Sabo looked over to the book that was in Haruno's hands and said: "This is an Ak.u.ma no Mi encyclopedia right!?" Haruno nodded and Sabo asked: "What kind of Ak.u.ma no Mi did you eat?" then Haruno smiled and said: "Room Room no Mi. A Paramecia type." Ace looked at Haruno and asked: "Paramecia? What is that?"
Sabo answered Ace's question: "The Ak.u.ma no Mis are categorized as Paramecia, Zoan, and Logia! A Zoan one transforms you into an animal, a Logia transforms you into an element and a Paramecia into something else! Like rubber!" then Ace asked: "Then Haru, what does your fruit do?" Haruno smiled and a portal appeared in his hand, before long, the portal expanded until the other could see it. On the other side, a lot of things could be seen, fruits, meat, and even clothes! Haruno smiled and said: "With my fruit, I can store a lot of things! And even Gaharudo too!" Ace looked at him and asked: "Just that?" Haruno said: "Attack me."
Ace looked at him confused, but he attacked him with a punch. When the punch was going to hit Haruno's face, someone hit Ace's face, who asked, confused: "What happened?" Haruno smiled and with a stone in his hand, he said: "I can create portals as entrances and others as exits! Like how I defended myself. Well all in all, my fruit is not very good for combat, but I can support others very well! Look!" Haruno used Telekinesis to throw a stone at Ace, but the stone hit a portal and left through the other one, before it entered and left again. This process repeated itself for a minute, every time the stone repeated the process of entering and leaving the portal, its speed increased! Before long, they couldn't see the stone anymore, merely a blur. Finally, Haruno aimed for a tree and deactivated the exit portal, the stone left the entrance portal with tremendous speed and hit a huge tree. It slowly fell down, a huge hole visible on it. Haruno smiled at his trick and said: "Well, to prepare this attack, I need at least a minute!"
Ace, Luffy, and Sabo looked at Haruno with stunned expressions and the three just muttered: "Strong..."
