[Pirate] I! Orochimaru! I will never split! Chapter 015

“Then…what’s your dream, Orochimaru?” Sabo was a bit confused. Orochimaru talked about the past as if telling a story, as if it wasn’t him. Confused, perplexed ⚆ɞ⚆

Orochimaru looked up at the sea, his expression complex. “To reach the pinnacle of skill, explore the mysteries of this world, and achieve immortality.”

“Soga, hahaha, so you mean immortal, huh… I’ll protect Orochimaru,” Luffy chuckled foolishly, pressing his hat.

Orochimaru sneered slightly. “So, you all want to go to sea, then who will be the captain?”

“Of course, me!” Three voices rang out simultaneously… Then the three looked at each other.

“Sabo, I always thought you were definitely going to be my navigator,” Ace mused.

“You! All come aboard my ship!” ⁂((✪⥎✪))⁂ Luffy’s unconscious outburst.

“I refuse!!!” The two roared, veins popping on their foreheads.

“Come on, I said come on!” Luffy whined, ready to throw a tantrum.

“Absolutely not this!” Ace retorted, Sabo echoed.

“Well… never mind, I still have Orochimaru anyway,” Luffy pouted.

Orochimaru put down his teacup and tilted his head. “Did I say I wanted to go to sea with you… I don’t think so, no.”

“I don’t care, I don’t care!! I want Orochimaru on my ship!” Luffy threw a tantrum, rolling around on the ground, spinning and rolling. Orochimaru watched the show, even recording it with a Den Den Mushi. Luffy instantly sat up straight, his mouth puckered in a wronged pout.

Under the warm sun, Orochimaru’s lips curled slightly, and the other two laughed heartily.

“Well! Anyway, let’s talk about the future later. Maybe the four of us won’t even go to sea together,” Ace placed a bottle of sake on a tree stump. “Do you know? As long as you clink glasses, you can become brothers. Even if we’re not on the same ship when we become pirates, let’s use brotherhood to forge our bond. No matter where we are in the future, this bond will always be connected.” After saying this, the three of them, by prior agreement, looked at Orochimaru.

They always felt that if there wasn’t a bond connecting them, Orochimaru seemed like he could disappear with the wind at any moment.

Orochimaru pondered for a moment, then walked over. The four of them raised their cups together, and Ace excitedly clinked glasses.

“From today onwards, we’re brothers!” ٩(´◒`)۶

Congratulations! ⁄(⁄⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄⁄)⁄

The group continued to scavenge for Berries at the Gray Terminal, taking their prey back to Dadan’s house. After dinner, the three, along with Orochimaru, were stripped naked and thrown into the bathroom. Orochimaru covered his head, looking at his dirty self. “It’s over… my image, my persona.” Then he heard a drip and turned to see Sabo with a nosebleed, veins popping out on his shark-like face.

“Why are you bleeding from your nose! I’ll kill you!”

A few days later, Makino and the mayor came to visit Luffy and Orochimaru. Sabo and Luffy mocked Ace, who was being well-behaved in front of Makino. Orochimaru was helping Makino organize things and prepare food.

Sabo, eating the delicious food, sighed, “As expected, you can’t go to sea without delicious food. When I go to sea, I must find the best chef.”

Ace nudged him with a piece of meat. “I’ll be the first to become a pirate. Your sweet dream might be ruined.”

“That’s too sly, I’m going to be the first to become a pirate,” Luffy said smugly.

~(¯▽¯~)

Orochimaru came out of the kitchen with a dish, seeing Garp behind the three, cold sweat broke out. He straightened his clothes, patted his face, and smiled.

(〃’▽’〃)

“Grandpa~ you’re back,” the sweetness level increased by 5+.

When Luffy saw Orochimaru like this, his face turned green, as if he understood something, and he stiffly turned his head. Ace also turned around.

Garp’s eyes were bloodshot. “Are you still saying such things? Don’t you understand that you are going to become Marines?!!” (╬ ｀益´)ｺ His fist, the size of a sandbag, forcefully struck the tops of their heads, and then he punched Dadan.

Sabo retreated with cold sweat, thinking, “Is this person Ace, Luffy, and Orochimaru’s grandpa?” He looked at Orochimaru, who was smiling obediently and brightly, standing with Makino, and then at the tall Garp. He seemed to understand what Luffy meant by Orochimaru being the most cunning. “Who is this person…”

“Brat, you also said something about going to sea, didn’t you?” Garp turned his head.

Sabo was about to act obedient like Orochimaru and explain, but Luffy stepped forward. “He’s not a brat, this is Sabo. We drank the brotherhood sake together and swore to become pirates together.”

Garp cracked his knuckles, looking at Orochimaru, who was smiling impeccably and acting incredibly well-behaved. He knew exactly what kind of person this guy was, but he had no reason. Burning with anger, he turned to the three of them. “In other words, there’s one more little bastard that I need to educate, is that right?”

Uh… ⊙-⊙! Then screams echoed throughout the mountain forest, dust flew everywhere, broken trees lay scattered on the ground. Luffy and the other two spun in the air, screaming continuously as they flew.

“That’s enough for today. Tomorrow, I’ll educate you even more strictly. Don’t die, Orochimaru, take them back and clean them up,” Garp clapped his hands and turned to leave, shouting.

“Understood, Grandpa,” Orochimaru instantly appeared on a tree, squatting and looking at the miserable trio below. He swallowed. “I truly am someone who has lived two lives… I can adapt to any situation.”
