The log pose was directing them to the next island. Nami was sick and this time, she couldn't argue she was fine—he knew for a fact she wasn't doing well.
He was tending to her, while Sanji was against it. He was the one with the most medical knowledge on this bitch, and while he did apply the antibiotic, slowing down the rate the poison would take effect, giving her an extra week's worth of life, he couldn't do much else. You know, since he was a surgeon...and he dealt in surgery.
So if, per se, someone got a hole pressed in their chest, as long as it hadn't been a while, he was confident he could help, especially with his healing ninjutsu which he was somewhat proficient in. He wasn't Tsunade-level good, but he was good enough to heal some minor stuff. It would help if the person was a logia user.
When someone dies, their haki kinda just returns to the world, and until every drop of said haki leaves their body, they can still be brought back. For a normal person with an average pool, that fact probably didn't matter much, but for someone on Yonko tier, that shit mattered a lot.
So if he was careful, he could save Ace. He did notice a piece of black hair in Luffy's hat and it wasn't his...heheheheheh. If worse came to worse, Ace papi would save him.
He might need to practice the reanimation jutsu during Thriller Bark or something like that, cause it's not like he could do it in Sabaody. Kizaru would whop his ass.
Speaking of which, he knew he would meet the man there, so he had some plan in order to fight light. He was sure his knowledge about how light functioned was higher than the admiral's since, well, his ass had a more modern understanding of light, alongside the radiation it could produce, while the man didn't seem to have any clue of that. If used properly, this fruit could help you turn invisible, give cancer...we don't talk about that option. And if he could create a vacuum, his ass could move so fast, even creating clones of himself should somewhat be possible.
Anyway, enough about the future, more about the present. The boat was going fast, but not fast enough, so he went through some hand seals.
"Water Style...Water Wave Jutsu."
As those words left his mouth, behind them, a giant ass wave of water seemingly picked up their boat and pushed them at speeds far faster than the boat was used to.
"Whoah, so cool!" His eyes were glinting—by his, he meant Luffy. This guy looked so damn happy to be here for some reason. Kairo had no damn idea why.
"Who the hell is moving the ship so damn fast? I am cooking here!" Sanji came out of the kitchen looking hella pissed, like who dared mess up his cooking.
"I was cooking healing medicine for Nami." The guy looked even more pissed.
"I sped up the boat so we could arrive faster. I do not want Nami's treatment to be delayed," Kairo said softly.
He didn't even know why his shit came out soft. For fuck's sake, he was a damn conqueror, and somehow he chose to follow someone. Something felt odd. It wasn't like his Conqueror's Haki had dulled.
Hm. Anyway, this was his chance to improve. All he remembered from Alabasta was Crocodile, so just defeat the guy and we will be fine.
Oh well.
Sanji opened his mouth to argue, only to close it once more. Okay, it was for Nami's safety. He could tolerate it this time.
"Fine, only because it's for her safety—next time at least say something. The food is burnt now," he sounded annoyed as he entered the kitchen, ready to cook delicious ass food.
Oh well, none of his business. Though speaking of which...
He closed his eyes a bit, his giant wings seemed to retract into his back-ish—no, more like they were vanishing.
Luffy blinked. Something felt off, as if the man was using some weird version of Observation Haki, but messing with their vision of it in order to make his wings invisible. It would probably work for anyone who wasn't looking for it. As far as they were aware, he was just a real tall black guy. It's not like that was rare, there were a bunch of real tall characters in this world.
Luffy's brow furrowed into a frown when he saw the man hiding his wings.
"Hey! Why you hiding your wings? They looked so cool!" His eyes were bright with stars as if what Kairo was doing wasn't that nice.
"The world government has a huge bounty on Lunarians. He's hiding them for safety reasons," Vivi proclaimed.
Luffy tilted his head to the side.
"You hiding your wings because of the government...why is that?"
"Cause I'm not trynna get experimented on," he replied with a dry expression.
"But wouldn't you want to feel free with your wings out instead of constantly having to hide them because of some dumb rules!?"
Nami punched Luffy in the back of the head, causing a bump to form. She offered him a weak smile.
"Don't mind him, he doesn't think before speaking...he doesn't think at all actually."
His eyes weren't even on the fact she was speaking—more on the fact of how the fuck she was speaking when she was bedridden a few minutes ago. How did she move that fast? Did the bullshit from Luffy awaken her that fast?
"Owi," Luffy said, holding his bump.
"It's fine," Kairo said dryly.
"It's still dumb. If I had wings I would want to fly, not cage them." As if something about the boy was all about freedom, and the idea of something like that happening pissed him off.
"Well if you want me to use them so badly, get strong enough to oppose the government."
Luffy smiled, as if this was already one of his goals.
A/N: His knowledge of One Piece is basically mine, so if I learn something new while watching an episode for the first time, he won't be aware of it. TL;DR, that basically means apart from Sabaody, where I/he knew some stuff, everything else is a blank state before Marineford and all.
Yes, this is also my shield if someone ever comments "how could he know that but doesn't know that." My answer will be simple: because I knew of that but not of that.
