Chapter 30 (2/2)
”Oh my, what fine specimen we have here! What's your name honey?” the old witch asked which sent an undescribable shiver down Azuls back, but he still remained polite, otherwise he may have come here for nothing and his ego wasn't worth the lifes of some civilians anyways.
”Greetings, my name is Azul. I've come here in order to inform you that the village at the foot of the mountain has somehow been completely been reduced to rubble and alot of people were wounded. I and the rest of the survivers would like to request your help in healing the people down in the village.” Azul said while lightly bowing his head in order to support his request with his demeanor.
”Is that so? Well little Chopper, it seems we have some money to make checheche. Ready the carriage!”
”Oh, that won't be necessary. I will take you down with me. It will be faster and the less time we need the better.” Azul spoke while observing the little reindeer, now identified as Chopper, back a few seemingly important things into his small bag after which he walked over to the doc Kuleha, waiting for her decision.
”And how would you take us down there? the gondola have been destroyed when Wapol left the kingdom not too long ago to become a pirate.” Kuleha asked with an inquisitive look on her face.
”Like this!” Azul said, disappearing from his position and reappearing behind the doc, whos eyes widened slightly at the young mans sheer speed, before she was grabbed and sat ontop of his right shoulder and Chopper onto his left, who couldn't help but cry out in surprise, but after seeing Kuleha remain calm he calmed down a little himself.
”Hold on tight! This may be a little bit faster than you normally travel” Azul spoke, bending his knees slightly before disappearing from his position, which was followed by Choppers maniacal scream for help and doc Kulehas mad cackling. A few seconds later Azul was outside the castle and jumped down the mountain but before either of his passengers could start screaming again his feet began to burn and billow in heat and he started sprinting on thin air, which earned him incredulous eyes from his left and appraising eyes from his right.
”Say sonny, would you be interested in becoming my new driving vehicle? Much more efficient the the carriage and I'll pay you well checheche” the old witch cackled in mirth which caused a sweatdrop to develop on Azuls head.
”No thanks doc, I'm good.” he replied.
With a gleam in his eyes, possibly having spotted a worthy opponent, Azul tried to get some more information but was disappointed to find nothing else.
'Hmm, maybe I'll get lucky and meet him somewhere down the line. After all the routes of the grandline are fairly linear once you picked a certain route.' he thought to himself.
And so it came that Azul put his two passengers back on his shoulders and disappeared into the night sky as nothing but a red blurr, bringing the doctor and her assistent back into their castle while taking in the beauty of Drum island from above.
