One Piece: The Strongest Swordsman

—----------------

Chapter-12

—----------------

Hancock grabbed Yoriichi's hand as she looked into his eyes and spoke in a shy voice "Be sure to find me in future and then we will live together"

'Forever' last word she said in her mind since she got embarrassed and couldn't able to speak this out loud but she already started to imagine her future with him

To this, Yoriichi nodded his head with a small smile on the form on his which extremely stunned Hancock since this was the first time she had seen Yoriichi's different expression

'Thud!'

Other boa sisters rushed and hugged him tightly since they also started to accept him as family and not to mention he is the one who helped them from the beginning

As a result, Yoriichi got free from Hancock while she was still dazed by his smile but soon she woke up and looked at her sisters did something that she wasn't able to do

""Thank you very much for everything!"" Both of them said at the same thing in a very loud voice which they wanna say for a long time

They started to cry since now they were very sad because they gonna be separated now

Yoriichi patted their heads in order to comfort them until they stopped crying, meanwhile, Hancock couldn't help but bite her thumb while feeling frustrated about the fact that she didn't hug him

After they calmed down, they all get into a small ship with shakky since she will be taking them to their home island safely

"See you later both of you," shakky said while she smoked and looked towards us as she got on the boat and finally set sail as the boat finally started moving

While boa sisters waver their hands towards them until they finally out of their sight

"Will you miss them?" Rayleigh asked this question while standing side by yoriichi since from his observation even though yoriichi might appear emotionless but he is the one who feels the most, he just doesn't know how to show it

"Yes…" yoriichi replied in a low tone as she kept staring in the direction where they just left without blinking

"It's best for them also don't worry I give them a routine of training which they need to do as long they follow it, I don't think they will have any problem in future" Rayleigh said while he patted Yoriichi's head Rayleigh thought this might help to cheer up Yoriichi

Not only that but he and shakky give Hancock notes of devil fruit written in Devil's Picture Book which she has eaten and it's contains all the information regarding the Devil fruit's power

'As long she doesn't slack off, she will become a great figure in the sea' Rayleigh thought this in his mind because he was very certain of this since he saw potential in her

Yoriichi nodded his head as he also understood it was probably best for them still he couldn't help but feel sad about their departure because they were second people who treated him kindly after his mother who left this world very early

"let's go back and have a barbecue" Rayleigh said this as soon he noticed Yoriichi was still in a depressed mood even though his face was still hard to read but using his observation haki he was able to tell Yoriichi's depressed mood

Yoriichi agreed to Rayleigh's suggestion as they both started to walk back to the cabin location…

…..

After 8 years…

It's been a few years since yoriichi has been training under Rayleigh and it's easy to say that right now he is powerful enough to take on 2000 people head-on without any problem

today also Yoriichi is training as usual but suddenly he senses something he quickly leaps towards the tree and catches something that falls from a tree branch

What he caught was a beautiful pure black bird who seemed to be badly wounded and unconscious but Fortunately bird seemed to be alive since the bird was breathing

Yoriichi sighed with relief after seeing the bird is still alive as he left his training and quickly started running towards the cabin while holding the bird in a very gentle position

"Yoriichi you come back from training so soon?" Rayleigh who was chilling while taking a sun bath said this in a confused tone as soon he noticed yoriichi coming back

"Can you save her?" yoriichi asked as he came near him and then showed him the injured bird in his hand

To this, Rayleigh said to go inside the cabin and then bandage the bird while he also got up and accompanied him

This is not the first time when Yoriichi brought an injured animal since during these years yoriichi treated many injured animals and saved their lives, so Rayleigh is not much worried about this case either

They entered the cabin where shakky was drinking something while smoking, as soon she saw yoriichi carrying something

She immediately understood as she got up from the seat and brought him the first-aid kit which yoriichi usually used to treat other animals

Yoriichi quickly started to treat the bird even though he was not trained by some professional doctor but reading books about medicine during these years gave him enough knowledge to treat others who could be saved

And right now yoriichi knows that this bird can be saved and that's why he brought this bird to the cabin so fast in order to treat her wounds

Yoriichi gently put the bird down on the soft sofa as he used the 'transparent world', a technique which he developed and it enables him to see inside others like an X-ray

After seeing no serious internal injuries, he became relief as he quickly opened the first aid and started to treat wounds on the bird with care while Shakky brought him water from a small container
