Chapter 11: Chapter 11
The hunter lead Team 7, Luffy's crew and team ichigo through the fog, none of them slow down and keep the pace behind the hunter. All of them already alert with Hunter's warning that they will be lost in the thick fog forever If they didn't follow him.
"Man, we already walk for so long, how much further do we have to go?" Naruto complained, they have been walking for a long time in this fog but they have not yet reached this village.
"Naruto, please don't complain." Sakura sais. "We should thankful to this hunter as he help us get through this fog and help us to arrive at this village." She tell naruto to not complain and be grateful to the hunter helping them to visit Erd Village.
"Sorry about that hunter, naruto is always complaining about small things." Sakura smile apologetically.
"It is okay sakura, you don't need to apologize." The Hunter isn't angry and told sakura to not apologize. "After all we have already close to Erd village."
Hunter's words caught their attention. "Really, where is it?" Luffy look around as he see nothing but fog.
"It's just behind the fog." Hunter pointed towards the front of the fog, he lead them through the end of the fog and finally they came out of the fog.
They use their hand to cover their eyes because of the light and some of them are half closing their eyes, after a few seconds they finally open their eyes and met with a 50 meters tall black color wall.
"Behind this wall is the Erd Village!" Hunter told them that their destination is behind this wall.
"Woah, The wall is very tall." Usopp and chopper exclaimed, he look at the wall height as it expand to the left and right with the same height.
"This village must have some huge background if they were protected by walls this high." Kakashi said, he can speculate this village is not just an ordinary village.
These walls are very high and he could tell it is also fortified, there was no way a normal village have this kind of wall. Kakashi could tell, Erd village must have somekind of secret or they have an impressive history behind it. These walls are higher than konoha and he don't know how huge is the village behind it.
Sasuke didn't say anything but inside he is shocked looking at how high is the walls. "Damn, this wall is so high." Naruto look up to see the wall's height.
"This walls are higher than in konoha." Sakura looked awe at the 50 meters tall wall, konoha also have high walls to protect their village but it is not tall as the one she see in front of her.
"Wuuoohh! Such a cool high wall." Luffy grin with happiness looking from down to up at the high and huge walls in front of him, he never see anything like this before in his adventure.
"how could they build a wall this high?" Nami stare agape at the high walls in front of her.
"Impressive!" Robin look and study these high wall in front of her, she was impressed by how this village can make these kind of wall to protect them although she know in her world there are walls higher than this.
"They must have some serious engineers to built this wall." Franky wants to meet the engineers who make this walls and maybe inspect their tools.
"Yohohohoho, I wonder how many beautiful ladies are behind this wall and I want to see their panties." Brook said.
"Not bad." Zoro look at the wall and smile.
"This village must have some serious materials and budget to built this wall." Sanji loom at the wall and know it must be at huge cost.
"Hey, guys, what do you think this village?" Inoue ask the others, she could tell this village is not an ordinary village.
"I don't know but..." Ichigo inspect the wall. "I have a feeling this village is not simple." He had a feeling this village is not what people called 'Village'.
Uryu is silent but he could tell that Erd village must be not a village, If Erd village is a village then the walls sorrounding the village wouldn't be this tall and huge. So he speculates Erd village is not a village, but the main question is why did they built this huge and tall wall, what is the purpose?
Chad jusy silent and inspect the wall he also had a feeling they would see Erd Village but this village would be far from being called a 'village'.
"Let's get inside, shall we?" The hunter move closer to the gate. "Open the gate!"
Rumble!!!
The gate slowly lifted.
Inside, the Erd Village, revealed itself.
The gate had completely opened.
They could see a lot of people moving around inside. Among the tightly packed buildings, they could see a tall castle that looked as if it touched the sky. The Erd village is not a village but a city, The city was filled with modern buildings and houses from 21st century mixed with medieval styles except modern vehicles and the chlotes people wore are from 21st century.
"Welcome to Erd Village." Huner corrected his words. "Oh, I'm sorry not a village, village is not a word I would describe this place." The hunter turned around facing them. "Welcome to Erd City!"
All of them wide eyed and mouth agape looking at the village but a city.
"WHAT!!"
The hunter laugh at their suprised reaction for the first time see The city of Erd. "Come on, let's get inside." The hunter turn around and tell them to follow him inside the city.
They wake up from their shockment for the first time see Erd city and began to follow hunter getting inside the city.
"WOW! This place is massive." Naruto look around amaze at the size of the city.
Sakura look around the city in wonder, people are chatting, buildings that is so tall it looks like reaching the sky, weird machines with four wheels moving on the road.
Sasuke is looking at his sorrounding, he never would thought see a place like this in his life. This tower is really full of surprises making him wonder If there are other amazing things hidden inside the tower.
Kakashi also look around the city, he is really surprised by how wide and vast is Erd city, no wonder they need to make high walls turns out because they have tall buildings in the city.
"So cool, this place is huge!" Luffy exclaimed, he has stars in his eyes looking at this place like he has found a new type of adventure.
"Amazing!" Robin didn't thought the village would be a city, a huge one at that. There was so many new and modern things her world didn't have or developed yet.
"Oh my, so many beautiful ladies." Sanji could see many beautiful ladies walking around the street waving their hands and smiling at him as they walk past him.
"Look at all those buildings and moving vehichles." Franky looks excited looking at all those modern technology, he wish they would learn here and make new things.
Ichigo's team isn't surprised see the city because their world have already reach modern times just like Erd city, even soul society has many modern buildings and things from 21st century but they are still impressed looking at the Erd city. After they enter the city, The gate behind them closed.
"Come on people, Don't look around or you'll get lost in the city." The hunter see all of them are still look the city.
They wake up from their actions when they heard hunter's words, soon they join him and following the hunter, they didn't want to get lost in an unknown city. "Where are we going?" Ichigo ask.
"To my home, of course." The hunter said.
They are confused of hunter's words but still they followed him to his home. After a long walk to the edge of the city, they finally arrive at their destination.
"Welcome to my home." The hunter introduce them to their home in the edge of the city.
"Ehhh?! This is your house." All of them are stunned at what they see in front of them, they just see the hunter's house in front of their eyes is a MANSION.
"This is your house?" Chopper mouth agape see the huge mansion behind the gate.
"You're rich?" Inoue is surprised, she didn't expect the man in front of her is rich.
"You could say that." Hunter shrugged like it's nothing. "Now come on, let's get inside." He opens the gate to get them inside his mansion.
They enter the courtyard of the mansion which filled with flowers and a fountain in the middle of the courtyard. "It's beautiful." Inoue look at the garden on the left and right.
"Thank you miss, My wife planted and took care of these plants, sometimes I also join her take care of them." The hunter said as thye reach the door of the mansion.
"Your wife?!" Nami ask, she is surprised the hunter is married.
"Yes, my wife, and all of you are gonna meet her." The hunter opnes the door and enter. "Please come in." He told them to get into his mansion.
All of them begin to enter the mansion and look inside the mansion, they are not gonna lie but the inside is huge and wide not to mention all the architect are european style.
"Woah, it's amazing." Nami look at all the decorations as she can tell all of them are expensive, how she wants to steal all of them.
"Honey I'm home!" Hunter shout so his wife can hear him.
"Good Hunter."
The voice, soft and melodic, carried endearment with an undertone of chastisement, making everyone attracted to the voice.
A woman standing in the middle of the staircase in front of them which has two staircases that can go to left and right. She wore a dress of umber wool with finely woven brocade, her bodice hemmed with lace. A pale pink scarf contrasted the brown, embroidered shawl draped over her shoulders. A matching pink hat set with dried roses held long waves of silver hair in place. Taller than even Greatjon Umber, she towered over the gathered men. A great beauty by any measure, her skin seemed like porcelain with eyes like deep-set gems that gleamed behind sterling lashes.
"Everyone, may I introduce Lady Isabella Gloriana Von Buckingham, formerly of Cainhurst, whom I have the great privilege of calling my wife."
"WOW! Such a beautiful lady." Sanji appeared hearts on both of his eyes.
The lady came down from the stairs and stand in front of them. "Hello guests." She bowed to them.
"Hello, miss Isabella." Inoue replied with a bow follow by her other shinigami team.
"Hello, miss Isabella, we are glad to visit your house." Sakura bowed the same goes with sasuka and kakashi, naruto quickly took same action as them.
Strawhat crew also bowed to greet Isabella except for luffy. "Hello, my name is monkey D. Luyffy and I am going to be the king of the pirates. Nice to meet you!" Luffy smile with his teeth at her.
Everyone are surprised of luffy's way of greeting except for the strawhat crew. "Luffy, you shpuld also bow and greet politely." Nami sighed at her captain.
"Hahaha, it's okay, your name is luffy right? Nice to meet you." Isabella greet him as she didn't care luffy didn't bow to her and the hunter also didn't care about formalities.
"Let's go to the dining room, I have prepared food for you all." Isabella said.
"Food?!" Luffy and naruto has stars on their eyes, their stomach already grumbling on their long journey.
"Not gonna lie, but I could use some food to replenish my energy." Ichigo have use some large spiritual powers slaying monsters on the way so he needs to eat to replenish his energy.
"Yes, please follow me." Isabella and the hunter led them to the dining room, when they see all the food on the table, all of them are shocked.
The table is long consisting 24 tables, each 13 from left to right. There are many meat, vegetables, fruits, cakes, and drinks enough for 20 people. "Woah, Meat!" Luffy drooled see many roasted meat on the table.
"Oh man, I can't wait to tase them." Naruto is excited to eat and drink.
"So many food on the table." Usopp look at all the food on the table, these food are more than enough for them.
"Not bad." Sanji can smell and knows all the foods on the table are well cooked.
The hunter sit on the left and Isabella on the right at the edge of the table. "Please, sit and don't be shy eating all these food with us." The hunter said.
Luffy immedeatly sit beside the hunter and grab a large piece of meat quickly devouring eat and grab another meat. "Luffy, don't finish all those meat, I want some too!" Usopp quickly sit beside luffy and start eating.
The others began to join them and seat on the left and right, they immedeatly eat and drink on the table. "Oh my god, this is so good." Inoue said eating a piece of cake.
"I'm glad you like it." Isabella smile at her, Inoue sit on her left with Ichigo's team.
"Good, all of you need to eat and drink first, then we will talk." The hunter said, as they eat and drink on the table, later they will talk about Dagon.
