Chapter 6: (English) Former Navy commander, Donquixote Rosinante

(Eng)

Back in current time, on the Going Luffy.

- Bart-kaichou, during the Dressrosa battle, I've awakened my power!

During the chaotic evacuation, residents panicked to find a way out of the birdcage. Jesus Burgess took this opportunity to harm the civilians and made way to find Luffy. Jo had tried to slow him down and lure him away. Though Jo used her power to immobile his Shockwave Elbow attacks, his unbelievable physical strength put Jo at disadvantage then totally passed out. Some citizens noticed and evacuate Jo, that's why she could stand here right now.

- After awakening, I gained the ability to reconcile all sound around and turn it into vibration. I can finally use it in combat. - Jo put his hand on Bartolomeo. A globe of light appeared and then slowly faded.

- Thank you, Bartolomeo.- Luffy's voice echoed in the soundproofing sphere, repeatedly.

- That's Luffy-senpai, he thanked me. I was so happy I had lived enough. Huhu.

'Room? It can't be?' Law appeared in Jo's soundproofing space while Bartolomeo was switched to the party room with Luffy. Seeing Law's gaze, Jo got goosebumps, deep down, she was afraid that Law would do anything to get her devil fruit. Lucky, Jo's hand was still laying on Law's shoulder, noticing this opportunity, 'Essence', a lighting sphere coming out of Law's shoulder. His eyes sharply stared at Jo, but just a second later, his eyes were full of surprises.

-Alright, see you in the next town. Hey, Law, I love you.- That was Corazon's voice kept repeating.

A while after Law calmed down.

- This power doesn't just give us a good night's sleep, does it?- Jo drank up her mug of rum.- This devil fruit was found two years ago, it looked like a pirate gang wanted to sell it for money, but their boat was sunk and the fruit drifted into Lulucia island.

Law looked down at the sea, his face was a little blushed, somehow he could not get himself to make eye contact with Jo. All of a sudden Jo gave him an empty mug. Unwillingly, Law used his Shamble in order to get her for a full mug of booze.

'Good guy, you are rightful for my present.' Jo gave Law a sheet of paper and a recording shell.- Thank you for the drink.

- I don't know what your purpose is, but  shouldn't you be more careful, we're the enemy anyway.- Law glimpsed at Jo who just released her finger off the tip of the shell, the voice of Corazon he had heard earlier was played on the recording.- This is...

- Commander Rosinante Donquixote, he's the one who saved you and me.

The piece of paper seemed like it was ripped out of a thick notebook, it was a portrait of a muscular navy with blonde hair and a smile... liked Corazon's smile before he sent Law off. The sheet was pretty old, and the edge of it was full of dents and crumpled.

Jo was not the one who drew that picture, it was Jo's brother, Dan. The person in that portrait was the young commander who rescued Jo from the crazy fire caused by pirates, from a story of 17 years ago.

- But why did you know our story?

-Before you guys arrived, I've been gathering some information in Dressrosa for three weeks. A few members of the Donquixote clan had been cursing him, and I gotta beat the hell out of those assholes.

Jo hid her anger, half the truth was also the truth. The men who proposed Baby5 were the ones who spread rumours about Corazon and Law. Only 10% of those were true, the remaining 90% were blasphemous words to that marine hero. Despite being a pirate, Jo never kill anyone, they were all killed under the orders of Doflamingo, after being beaten by her.

- You surely gave me this?

- Don't worry.- Jo smiles.- Maybe he'll be happy to be with you, he loves you.

That night, in the guest room.

Law joyfully framed the two paintings and the shell, which made Luffy and Zoro go rampage. The second portrait was drawn from Law's depiction. On the other side of the deck, Jo was calmly drawing another portrait, kind of similar to the second portrait. The man in the picture wore a shirt with hearts printed on it, a hood with two heart-like shapes hanging that covered his hair, and a black mantle. He smoked a cigarette along with his face with dark makeup on his lips and eyes. 'That's cute. Looks like he won't bother finding what happened two years ago for a while. Jo put the finished drawing down, in the finished one there was a boy wearing a black spotted hat smiling in his arms.
