[Pirate] I! Orochimaru! I will never split! Chapter 004

Orochimaru slithered out of Luffy’s covers, his forked tongue flicking, then transformed into a human and stretched. He then grabbed Luffy and dragged him off to wash up.

Why was Orochimaru sleeping with Luffy? Garp scratched his nose. “You’re brothers, of course, you need to build your relationship. Besides, the room is only so big, and it’s convenient for you to turn into a snake and sleep with Luffy, isn’t it?”

After dunking Luffy in the water and rinsing him off, then letting him dry in the sun, Orochimaru tidied his own attire and went to meet up with Garp. For the past six months, Orochimaru had been with Garp and Luffy every day, training together, eating together, playing together, and routinely watching Luffy get beaten up. Orochimaru himself had only been beaten once, for spacing out and ignoring Garp. Thus, the well-behaved, scheming Orochimaru was born… Who in their right mind would choose to get beaten?

Six months passed quickly. As for the development of his Devil Fruit, it was just as before. After all, it had already been pretty much developed in his previous life; it was just a matter of slowly recovering. Also, because his true form was quite beautiful, the snakes in his techniques had all turned white, at least looking more pleasing to the eye than in his previous life. It was said that the Tengshe was a divine beast from an oriental mystical kingdom, with a miniature wing growing on its snake body. He figured he’d be able to fly in a while. He looked into a mirror, satisfied with his reflection. Not bad, still beautiful. Youth was truly wonderful! I, Orochimaru! This life, I shall remain immortal! My appearance will never exceed 25 years old! ⌯oᴗo⌯

As for where the mirror came from, he’d exchanged it for one Berry at the trash mall. And the box of exquisite trash in his backpack, it could only be opened when he turned 17. Trash system, didn’t that mean it could only be opened when the main plot officially began? He wondered what was inside; it probably wasn’t very useful.

Carrying Luffy, he walked and pondered. Garp was returning to Marine Headquarters tomorrow. Shanks and Uta should be arriving soon, right? The plot was about to begin.

As he was thinking, he bumped into a mountain of flesh with a “Bang!” He looked up… stunned.

“Orochimaru!!!! Luffy!!!!! You’ve made this old man wait so long! I told you not to be so lazy! And Orochimaru! How many times have I told you! Don’t space out while walking! You’re a Devil Fruit user! What if you fall into the sea?!” With a “Duang,” a blow landed on each of their heads.

Luffy and Orochimaru covered their swollen heads, wanting to cry, and squatted on the ground, looking at each other…

Orochimaru clutched his head, regretting. He had been careless; he hadn’t dodged.

The two “red envelope” head duo knelt obediently before Garp, listening to him ramble on.

“Grandpa is leaving tomorrow. I don’t know when I’ll be back next time. Makino has some Berries. Orochimaru, didn’t you want to custom-make some shurikens or swords? Just ask Makino for them. And Luffy, please take good care of him. Of course, if you don’t want to, just toss him aside. After all, Orochimaru is also a child.”

Luffy pouted indignantly, muttering, “I’m clearly the older brother, why should Orochimaru take care of me?”

Garp pretended not to hear the grumbling and continued his rambling.

Snakey expressed, “What to do… I want to die…” He checked his backpack. Hmm? A pleasant surprise! Weapon gift pack, my Grass-Cutting Sword! And it’s a deluxe edition, happy to have a weapon.

Garp: Blah blah blah.

He looked at the system mall again. Snacks, home appliances, pots and pans, refrigerators, wow, and even color TVs… Too bad there’s no signal ◔.̮◔✧. And novels, wow~ Re:ZERO – Starting Life in Another World, isn’t that me?

Garp blah…????!!!!#

And clothes too. Kimono, haori, yukata, why are they all Japanese style? Is this system from the Sakura brand…? Oh, ah… I see other things… Underwear… Is it that wild? Wearing that out, you’d be considered a pervert even if you weren’t one.

Garp: #Orochimaru!!! Are you listening to this old man speak!!!!

Orochimaru instantly sensed danger and transformed into a snake, coiling around Luffy’s neck.

He breathed a sigh of relief: “Phew, that was a close call.”

Garp laughed in anger. “You think turning into a snake will save you? Who do you think this old man is!” Held in someone’s hand, he looked in shock at Luffy, who was whistling and looking at the sky. “No? Aren’t you going to save your dear brother?!” Looking at the Armament Haki gradually spreading over the person’s hand, only one thought came to mind… This old man has no morals!! A very ominous premonition… Danger! Danger! Danger!

“Old geezer!! What are you doing!! Stop it!” The transformed Orochimaru’s pupils widened in shock as he looked at Garp’s palm.

(More daily life, not much fighting. I plan to reference all of Orochimaru’s skills from Ultimate Ninja Storm because I saw them and they looked super cool. Afterwards, the story will follow the plot. Please remember! This is Orochimaru with the mindset of a five-year-old!)
