JotPK Sec 35-36

(Sec 35) * * * * *
Vyse and Aika went alone, since it was a small town, and the only places they need to go were all very close by. They decided to stop by the Weapons and Armor Shop first, but there wasn't anything there they needed. The Items Shop didn't have much they needed either. But then there was the Ship Parts Shop.
“Blue Rouge King Vyse! Welcome back to my store!”
“Good to see you Charles.”
“AND you know my name!?”
“Charles, I come here the most often for my ship parts since your the Central Hub for it all.”
“Haha! So very true. So what can I get for you today?”
“Well, it's been a Full year since I brought in the Delphinus.”
“You got that Back!?”
“Enrique is letting me 'borrow' it for my next big adventure.”
“Borrow?”
“I think he wants me to keep it until a War bursts out.”
“With this peace? I think it's yours to keep.”
“Anyway, It still has the Four X Cannons on it.”
“Ah, yes, those were quite a big deal. There's not much better.”
“Darn, I was hoping to get some new connons.”
“WOAH, Woah, woah. I said not MUCH better. I have these Brand New Cannons that came in not too long ago, but these beasts are expensive, so i haven't had any takers.”
“Can we see it?” Aika asked.
“Just follow me downstairs to the storage area.”
In the Basement, The Ship Parts Shop must have taken the entire inside of the Island.
“This,” Charles said, putting his hand on top of a Cannon covered in a tarp, “Is the newest in Battle Technology, Vyse, Aika, I present to you...” He removed the tarp to reveal a really nice looking cannon, “The Mini Hydra!”
“The Mini Hydra?”
“Well, Galacian's Ship was pretty big and easy to see. And even though you guys did quite a number on it, Me and a few of my brothers, also in this business, were able to take a look at it, and we built a new, more compact version of The Hydra Cannon.”
“Very Impressive, How much damage would it be able to pull off?”
“This thing is energy efficient, and acts as a sort of Secondary Cannon you can fire off every turn. If you had this while fighting one of those Gigas' I heard about, you'd've been able to take them out much faster. It's attack is 750, Hit Percentage is  800, and Uses 6 Spirit Points.”
“Very Nice. Now for the painful part. How Much?”
“How many you want?”
“Let's start with one and go from there.”
“198,500 gold apiece”
Vyse thought for a minute, “I'll take four.”
“But Vyse! We don't have that kind of money!” Aika protested.
“Oh, did I forget to tell you? I sold all those extra Moon Berries we had back in Nasard to Osman, giving me 750 gold apiece”
“You sold her all 1,001 of those?”
“1,000 even. The first was free for a taste test. Plus, we'll be selling the X Cannon's back to him for 11,000 apiece, so we still get to keep the gold from our Hauls from Buggy and Kuro.”
Vyse gave him the 750,000 gold and Charles got to work on getting the X Cannons off and the Mini Hydra's on. Vyse and Aika decided to hit the Tavern and Visit Polly and Robinson.
“Well well, if it isn't the world Heroes,” Polly said with a smile as Vyse and Aika walked in.
“Hey hey! Good to see you kids again,” Robinson said. He got rid of the wildman look, and now had a Beard/Mustache combo and a Nice haircut.
“We were in town and thought we'd have a drink before we started sailing again.”
“I suppose you kids are going down to that 'Grand Line' We've been hearing about?”
“Yup! I've heard of a Guy named Gold Roger who was a great Pirate. When they execute him, his final words were 'My Treasure is yours for the Taking, but you'll have to find it first. I left everything I own in One Piece'. That was 20 years ago and people are still searching for it.”
“Sounds like fun,” Robinson said.
“So either of you want to join me to find that treasure?”
“Sorry Vyse,” Polly said, “But I had enough adventure last time. I'm staying here.”
“I'd love to go,” Robinson started, “but after 20 years of being stranded, all I want to do is stay here with my wife.”
“I can understand that,” Vyse said, grabbing Aika's hand, “Still, couldn't hurt to ask.” Vyse an Aika finished their drinks and were about to pay.
“It was on the house, Honey. You were able to give a fresh story to this Old Tavern.”
“Thanks! We'll come by and visit again when we're done with out next adventure!”
“You Better!” Polly shouted.
“We want to hear every last tale you got!” Robinson added.
By the time Vyse was ready to take off, the Cannons were taken care of, so he started heading toward Valua.

(Sec 36) * * * * *
Even though the Great Wall was still being rebuilt, It was still able to Open and Close. Enrique would have left it open 24/7 if Pirates weren't so much trouble. Valua had certainly changed. The Palace was rebuilt and still in the center, and the Rail Train was up and running, but Upper and Lower Valua had vanished and everyone was equal. There was no more separation by Noble or Royal Blood, and everything looked nice, except for the still Dark Clouds above with it's constant Thunder Storm.
Vyse was able to dock at the now Large Harbor and only he, Doc and Chopper got off.
“We won't be too long,” Vyse told the others, “We only have Ilchymis and Izmael to visit, and then we'll be heading to Crescent Isle.”
Vyse had to ask directions a couple of times, since everything was new to him, but eventually found  Ilchymis' Medical Center and Home. Vyse knocked on the door.  Ilchymis answered shortly afterwards.
“Vyse? What a pleasant surprise. Please, do come in.”
Vyse, Doc and Chopper entered. “Ilchymis, I'd like you to meet Doc, A Free Doctor from Sailors Island.”
“Ah yes,”  Ilchymis said, shaking hands, “You used t work for Admiral Mendoza, correct?”
“Yes, that was quite a while ago.”
“And this is Tony Tony Chopper.”
“A Raccoon?”
“I am not a Raccoon! I'm a Reindeer who trained with the Best Doctors in the world!”
“Really now?”
“He's from the Grand Line. Drum Island, where he's from, has been known for it's talented doctors. The two he trained under actually cured the country of the plague known as Wapol.”
“How very impressive. And I suppose you're telling me this because you'd like me to go with you to this Grand Line?”
“Um, yeah. How'd you guess?”
“Just call it a hunch. I've already made preparations. I have my stuff packed, and my apprentices are able to handle things here, seeing as they've had previous experience and were fast learners, they know everything I do, so this place should be fine.”
“Wow. You've been busy, haven't you?”
“Enrique's Checkup was a few days ago, so he was able to tell me you were more then likely that you would come to ask me to join. Plus, you have a knack for getting into the most interesting of situations.”
“Haha, I suppose that's true.”
“Are you looking for Helmsman Lawrence, too?”
“What? Is he here?”
“He's been looking for steady work for a while. Perhaps he'd like to join the crew again as well?”
“I'd ask, but he said last time that if I wanted him back, I'd have to pay a lot more. Besides, I can handle driving a ship myself.”
As Vyse was walking out the door, Izmael was about to knock on the door.
“Izmael? What are you doing here?”
“Ilchymis called me earlier about a leaky roof. So I came as soon as I was done with the house down a ways from here. What are you doing here?”
“I was getting recruits to go down to the Grand Line.”
“Were you coming to ask me to join, too?”
“You were next on my list.”
“I'll be with you as soon as I fix that roof,” and with that, Izmael, walked in, and fixed the roof and was back with everyone else in no time. They had enough Daylight left to get back to Crescent Isle and do some last bit of stocking.
It was good to have most of the crew back, and to have a few new additions as well.
