| - Richard: Arrrgh!! Where am I?!?! What happened?!! The voice from beside him quickly responded to him. That voice belonged to Aladdin. Aladdin: Calm down kid. You'll wake him up. He barely managed to get some sleep. And you shouldn't m-. Richard feels the atrcious pain on his back like a thousand needles piercing it. It was unbearable, but Richard frown to show his pain and weakness. Aladdin:-ove so much... well I guess from that pain speech you had, you wouldn't even dare show this pain. So how are you feeling? Richard: It...everything.... ugh. I almost forgot what happened... gah... Richard puts his hand, because he gets a headache from all that happened. He then looks at Jinbe. Richard: How much time has passed since I fainted? Aladdin who was standing on a chair on the side of the bed in the complete darkness. Aladdin: About 2 days. I'm surprised you actually woke up so fast. Oh yeah, you should keep your voice low, Boss hasn't slept at all since your meeting. After he came back from the meeting that took place after you fainted, he came here and didn't leave this room. Richard hears with surprise and a smile and he looks at the sleeping Jinbe. Richard: I see. Aladdin: You should go sleep some more, it's night on Fishman Island right now and I'd really like for you to let Jinbe sleep. I'm sure you'll want to be fully rested for your training tomorrow. Richard looks down at his bed as he is lost in his world when listening to Aladdin's voice, but one word wakes him up. He lifts his head and looks at Aladdin, like a man who just saw a ghost. Richard: Did you just say.... training?... Aladdin: Don't you remember when he said he'll take responsibility just as you requested? Richard starts shaking mildly. His facial expression is a sad one, like that of an old man on his death bed. Richard: He said that.... oh yeah... he did. . . . I'm not that kind of person... I'm not the kind of person to train!! Jinbe: You're not what? Jinbe suddenly opens his eyes and gets up from his large pillow. Jinbe: You better listen to me kid. I took you in, but I don't want to take care of a weakling like you, you'l embaras me in front of everyone! If you don't want to train. I'll make you do it! Richard: Ehh?!?!? But why?! I don't want to be that strong! I mean I'm strong enough as I am now!! Jinbe: Did you see how easily I stopped you? You won't be able to beat even someone half my power! Richard: That's because you're as strong as a monster! No! Monsters are nothing compared to you! Jinbe: Say that again kid! From the side, Aladding starts laughing. Both Richard and Jinbe turn at him and see him laughing. Aladdin: Jinbe. It's been a while since I saw you this fired up to train. Jinbe hears wat Aladdin says and then he continues talking to Richard. Jinbe: You kid better get ready for your first real training. It'll start tomorrow, so you better get prepared. You'll be my first discple ever. I never took in brats since they were too annoying, but I change my mind this once. Richard smiles and calms down. He looks at Jinbe as he walks away. Then he decides to get up, although his pain was still there. He went to a window and saw where he was. He was in a home right at the edge of the bubble that held Fishman Island together. Aladdin leaves as well and he lets Richard rest. Aladdin: You better just sleep, don't worry, we won't let you sleep too much tomorrow. You better enjoy your last long sleep. He closes the door and then Richard lays on his bed again, in the warmth of the sheets he was covered in. He closed eyes and layed his head on his pillow. Richard: [I guess I'll have to at least pay him back for letting me live here.] YOSH! I'LL TAKE YOUR CHALLENGE JINBE! He fell asleep and finally the night passed.
