《The queen of pirates》 Readers corner I thought about it and two choices are possible, I can either do a Luffy crew, with just the principal member or I can do a whitebeard type of crew with division and all that stuff. Since I don''t know which to chose I decided to let you guys chose for me (although the decision is mine in the end)Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there. This ''chapter'' will also be where you guys put your ideas for devil fruit, villains, backstory, events and everything. So just let loose and write everything that comes to your mind. Next chapter is almost ready, I''ll have it posted tomorrow at best or monday at worst. some good news and some bad news Hey everyone, I have some good news. First know that I am still alive and I will update soon ( something like 30 minutes from now on ) And know that i will keep updating until I finish this story bad news is, I am on vacation, no you may ask yourself. Why is this a bad news ? Well because the SHITY FAMILY I have the displeasure of living in decided in all this assholy glory to only give my my pc, phone etc for 1 HOUR A DAY. So I clearly don''t have time to write.This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it. I don''t know how long l''ll have to deal with this but the point is ! I can'' t write I will finish this story even if it takes me 20 years but for now you won''t see a chapter for a while Chapter 1 You know, I never thought that I would get the chance to be reincarnated into an anime world. Hi, my name''s is Nakade Ruri, a teenager who loves anime and manga, pull all nighter to watch and read said anime without needing to work. (Being rich is amazing sometimes.) But all that doesn''t matter now, since I got stabbed in an alley by a crazy bastard. Lame way to die I know. But then when I thought it was the end I met god. Like the real god. He''s a pretty cool guy. And hot. ~Flashback~ "So that''s what death looks like ? Booooring." I was in a dark room, I looked around but I couldn''t see anything. Literally nothing. "Well, I guess I got time to kill at least, AH. I am the best." I chuckle at my own joke. "This joke was terrible." A voice came from behind, I turned around to see a man, probably in his thirties, he had short black hair, black eye and sharp teeth, very sharp looking teeth. He was approximatively 1.75 meters. And he was hot. Very. Very. Hot. I couldn''t help myself, I drooled a bit. He chuckled " Well thank you, I know I am handsome." "Wait, you heard that ? Did I talk out loud." "Nah, I can read your mind." He smiled. "Ah ok totally not weird. So who are you ? And where are we ?" Let''s ignore the fact he can read my mind. "In order of questions asked. I am god, and we are in my room." He snapped his finger and the dark room lit up. And all around me are manga tomes, figurines and other anime goodies. There''s also every video games in here. "Woaaah, never thought god is an otaku." That''s a surprise. Really. "What can I say, being immortal gets boring after the first few thousands year." He chuckled again. "So, and what am I doing here ? I am sure I am not here to discuss anime with a cup of tea." I said "Well, like I said, I am bored. Anime, manga and games since their creation have distracted me, but it is slowly becoming boring again. Then I got a fantastic idea !" He points at me and his smile turns into a mischevious grin. "I am going to reincarnate you into the anime of your choice, at the moment of your choice and as an added bonus since you said I was hot, you''ll go with the power of your choice !" He finished and I swear I heard fireworks in the distance. I stared at him, "Ok seriously chose quickly I don''t have all day, only an eternity." "Oh, sorry I was so surprised my brain had to reboot. So, world of my choice." There are many world I could chose, like a fuckton of them. "One piece it is." God said suddenly. "Wait I didn-" he made a shooing motion. "On the ship of alvida at the start of the series got it." He kept going on "Will you-" he stopped me. "I say you chose your power before I decide it for you." He had the biggest shit eating grin on his face. "*sigh* Fine, I wanna be a death scythe like in soul eater ! A chainsaw if possible." I said. "Got it, now anything to say ?" "Yeah, you''re a dick." I glared at him. I don''t really care that he chose one piece, I actually like it. "Duly noted, now before throwing you into your new world, is there something you want me to do ?" He said. "Oh yeah, could you..." Somtimes later... "Ok, I think everything is ready. Now enjoy your new life." He stomped on the ground and a hole appeared under me, I fell. I heard god say one last thing before I fell. "I''ll change the story a bit so we can both have fun good luck naka D. Ruri. Mostly me will having fun though." I could see his shit eating grin from here. ~End flashback~ The first thing I feel is the wind... and that''s it, I open my eyes and notice something weird. I am falling. Without a parachute "Ohshitohfuck !" I see an island, I am going to crash into a forest I can still hear the laugh of that piece of shit. And then I crash into a tree. *CRAAAAAAAAC* "Ow my back... that hurts." I look around, I see a poorly made boat, I''m sure it''ll sink as soon as it hits the water. But that''s all I can see before a barrel crash into my stomach. "I guess it''s international fuck with ruri''s day." I say stuck under the barrel. You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story. "Are you ok ? You flew pretty far." I saw coby in front of me, the barrel was still on me. "Shi shi shi, I am okay. Just surprised that''s all. I am luffy." I heard luffy''s voice. Meaning the barrel that crashed into me had luffy in it. "I am the boats handyman, coby." Didn''t they notice me ? "And I am Ruri, a girl stuck under a barrel." I groan. They scream at the same time" AAAAH ! A TALKING BARREL !" I groan again and toss the barrel aside. "Oh, it was just a girl stuck under a barrel." Luffy makes a fist and hit it in his flat hand. "That''s what I said ! say where are we ?" I ask coby. "We are on a beach under the control of "iron mace" alvida." Coby said. "I don''t care about that. You wouldn''t have a boat would you ? Mine''s got destroyed in a whirpool." Luffy said "A- a Whirlpool ?! You got stuck in a whirpool ?!" Coby said disbelief in his voice. "Yeah, I wasn''t expecting it." Luffy said crossing his arms. "You should be dead. As for a boat, I have one but..." he looks towards the ''boat'' "What''s this, a coffin ?" Luffy said touching the ''boat'' "Yeah it''s pretty crappy, i''m sure it doesn''t even float" I added. "It''s a boat... and it took me two years to build it." "I wouldn''t even get in for a million beri." I said "I built it to escape Alvida, I have a dream... but I''m to scared of alvida catching me if I try to leave. Two years ago Iwas going to go fishing but I got on the wrong boat. I got on the pirate''s one." Wow, it sounds dumber in real life than in an anime. "You are completely dumb, and a coward. Shi shi shi." Luffy said as he laughed, I supressed a giggle. "Eh...eheheh. you''re right I don''t jave enough courage to navigate in a barrel, what pushed you to navigate on the sea ?" Coby asked luffy. I could see alvida and his men approaching but said nothing for now. "Me... I will become the king of pirates !" Said Luffy with a big smile. "The- The king of pirates ?! But you''re gonna die ! All the pirates are searching for it !" Coby is sweating like he just ran for 20 km. "Me too." Luffy responds flatly, I laugh a bit. "You''ll never be able to do it ! It''s impossible you hear me ?! It''s crazy, you''ll never be able to do it !" Toby screams Luffy punched coby in the face. "Why did you hit me ?!" He had a small bump on his forehead. "Felt like it." I couldn''t stop myself, I exploded from laughter and rolled on the ground holding my side. I must¡¯ve laughed too much because the next thing I saw was alvida breaking coby''s ''boat''. "So you brought bounty hunters other than roronoa zoro... last chance coby, who is the most beautiful women on the seas ? Answer me !" "Eh..eheh... it''s-" "Hey coby, who''s the fat lady ?" Luffy said pointing at alvida "Lady is a bit of a stretch, I''d say it''s a cow." I said while shrugging "EEEEH?!" "They... they dared..." Coby rushed at luffy and me " take back what you said alvida is... she is... THE UGLIEST AND FATTEST PIRATE ON THE WHOLE SEA !" Again, I laughed. "You little shit..." alvida said as she brandished her mace. "I WILL KILL YOU ALL !" She swung towards luffy, and everyone''s (except me) was shocked when luffy didn''t flinch. "Impossible..." "Gomu Gomu no..." luffy''s arm extended a good 5 meters backward "... PISTOL !" And proceeded to punch alvida in the face. She flew a bit and fell flat. "He beat captain !" Every pirates said. "Coby decided to become a marine, you are going to give us a boat and leave." Luffy said. "Ye-yes sir !" "Luffy..." Then you know the rest. We got a boat, and went towards where zoro is. It wasn''t really hard to tag along, I asked luffy if I could and he said yes. Now, to recruit my own crew... ------- The start will be a bit slow, I''ll follow the main plot until Water 7 so luffy will be in it a lot even though ruri is not in his crew YES ! Ruri will have her own crew, I already know 6 of them, characters from one piece, no OC. I am open to suggestion if you have some (devil fruits, story arc, villains...) Hope you enjoyed and point out any error I made Chapter 2 We arrived at the town where zoro was detained, the first thing we did was go eat at a restaurant. "Well, this is where we part ways coby, good luck with your dream." Luffy said as he lightly pat his stomach ( boy can he eat ) "Yeah, good luck kiddo. And don''t slack off. The next time we cross path we''ll be enemies." I said with a grin. Of course he started crying. "Thank you guys, good luck becoming the pirate king Luffy, and good luck to you too Ruri." He said between tears. "Say you think zoro is at the marine base we saw ?" Luffy asked while looking at me, the people around us suddenly got scared and ran away. "I think zoro''s name is a taboo around here." Coby whispered. Then he talked about Morgan and the people had an even bigger reaction. We left to go towards the marine base. "Shi shi shi, those guys at the restaurant were funny, I''ll go back there later." "I think it''s strange the way they acted, I can understand for zoro but that they have the same reaction for the marine officer." Coby said. I shrugged "Don''t know, don''t care, we go to the marine base, take zoro with us and leave." I voiced my thoughts. We spotted my favourite moss head in the middle, attached, he had blood dripping for his mouth and you could see he was completely exhausted, he spotted us to and grinned. "Hey you guys over there, could you unbind me... I''ve been like this for nine days, I''m at my limit. There''s a prime at the end, I''ll give you the bounty of the first guy I meet." "Do- don''t believe him, he''ll kill you and run the second he gets free." Coby said shaking. "Don''t worry, mosshead over there doesn''t have his swords anyway." I said to coby. "Wanna say that to my damn face girly ?!" Zoro almost shouted at me. The sound of something hitting the wall we were leaning on resounded and a little girl said to be quiet before jumping on the other side. "What do you want ?" "I thought you were hungry so I made these !" She got two rice ball out of her shirt. "Get out of here before you get killed !" He snarled at the girl "B-but..." "Roronoa zoro, it''s not good to scream on children, I''m gonna say it to my father." And enters helmeppo, god I hate that guy. He approached rika and took one of her rice ball, he ate it and spit it, he destroyed the other one and made marine toss her, luffy caught her. He left after saying he''ll let zoro go if he survives one month like this. Luffy jumped to the other side and I followed him. "Still here ? He''s gonna say it to his ''father'' if you stay here too long." Zoro sneered. Bla bla bla, luffy''s recruiting, zoro mocks him, they talk about their dreams, zoro eats the ''rice ball'' and we left. Then we went to rika, she explain what happened to zoro and why he is attached to that cross. Then luffy punched helpmeppo in the face when he said he''ll execute Zoro, then we went back to save zoro. "Yo." Luffy said as he walked towards zoro. "You again ?! I said I won''t join you." "I''ll unbind you so you can join my crew." "I said I won''t join." Zoro snapped. "By the way, I heard you were good with a sword." "Yeah, but the idiot took it from me." "I''ll get it for you... if you join my crew !" Luffy smiled. "WHAT ?! THAT''S BLACKMAIL !" Zoro screamed. "I''ll go get it." And with that luffy left. "Not gonna follow him ? You are his nakama after all." Zoro said "Nah i''m not, i can''t be in the crew of someone who wants to be the pirate king when I am going to be the pirate queen. Let''s get you out of here." I smiled at him. He sighed." You are both crazy." "Oh shut up mosshead." I said as I started to unbind him. This narrative has been purloined without the author''s approval. Report any appearances on Amazon. "What did you say Lousy Queen ?!" He snapped. "Idiot !" Me "Bitch !" Zoro "Assho-" *Bang* A bullet scratched my arm. "Tsk, looks like those idiots noticed me." Morgan and his soldiers came down and blocked the escape path. "You are both to be executed for defyong the marine. Men ! Shoot them down ! The bullet flew towards us, but luffy got in the way and stopped them. "Doesn''t work !" He screamed as the bullet returned to the one that shot them. "Who are you ?!" Zoro asked. "I am the one who will be the king of pirates ! Now you can choose, either become a pirate and fight with me or get killed here." Luffy replied with a grin. "Eh, you''re the devil. I''ll join you." "Yeah !I got my first nakama !" Luffy said while throwing his arms in the air. "We get it now hurry up and untie me." "I''ll take care of this." I said with a smirk and turned my finger in a chainsaw. "He threw back the bullets how ?!" The marines screamed in shock "He ate one of the devil fruits, if the bullets don''t do anything then slice him in pieces !" Morgan ordered I finished cutting the ropes just in time for zoro to take his swords and stop the marines. "The first one to move dies." He said in a growl. "Scary!" "Hey luffy, I won''t go back on my words and join you, but know that I have an objective, I will become the best swordman in the world and if you ever get in my way you will pay !" "The best swordman ? You need at least this to be part of the crew of the king of pirates ! Now duck zoro ! Gomu gomu no..." Luffy''s leg extended and he kicked all the marines "...Whip !" Sending them back towards Morgan. I saw helmeppo starting to move towards coby, I slowly made my way towards coby too. "Captain Morgan, those two are too strong for us we can''t beat them !" "Those that said this... shoot yourselves, I have no need for cowards !" Silence met his order " YOU HEARD ME ?!" He shouted and some marines pointed their guns to their head. "Tsk, these marines are crazy." Zoro said "I''m your opponent ! "Luffy rushed morgan and grabbed his axe hand, morgan tried to grab him and luffy jumped back "You dare oppose me, I am ax-hand Morgan, marine captain !" He threw his cape aside. "I''m luffy, Nice to meet you." I giggled a bit "DIE !" Luffy jumped and evaded the blow, the power was enough to split into the fence and a part of the wall. While he was in mid-air Luffy kicked morgan in the head sending him flying backwards. "C-captain Morgan !" Morgan stood up "You brat..." he took the handle of his ax-hand and aimed "...You''ll pay for this !" He struck towards luffy who stepped aside and kicked Morgan again. He grabbed the shirt of Morgan and prepared to hit him when "WAIT !" He looked our way and saw me, behind helmeppo with a grin on my face, then he to punch Morgan. "I SAID WAIT !" Helmeppo screamed. "You shouldn''t point a gun towards a kid''s head." I said as I sliced the gun in two helmeppo fainted when he saw me. While Luffy was looking this way Morgan tried to attack him from behind, but zoro intervened and slashed him. "Good job Zoro." "At your service captain." "Captain Morgan lost !" The marines shouted. "The one that still wants to fight come now." Zoro said while glaring at the marines. They looked at each other and threw their weapons while screaming in joy. "The reign of Morgan has come to an end !" Luffy finally got his first Nakama. Coby got into the marines, and we left with an entire marine base saluting us. Next is Nami, I can''t wait for the Buggy arc, maybe I''ll get my first nakama with a bit of luck. Chapter 3 Long story short, Luffy is an idiot. He ate all the food, and then got eaten by a giant bird he tried to catch, Zoro and I followed the bird, the three idiots from Buggy''s crew tried to take our boat, they got punched hard and we arrived at orange town. And then there was an explosion and god I don''t even know how he did it but zoro went in the OPPOSITE direction of where the explosion happened. How can you be so stupid is beyond me. At least my first nakama is someone with a brain. (Thank god), well, if I convince him to join. Anyway, we arrived in time to hear Buggy scream to kill someone flashily, Nami I assume. Zoro and I rushed up the stairs and arrived to see Nami about to be killed. *VRRRRR* Zoro used his three swords to block the Buggy''s pirate and I used my power to slice the weapon of the one that passed through. "Zoro ! Ruri !" Luffy called out to us while trapped inside a cage. "Hey boys, you don''t think that''s a bit much for just one girl ?" I said as my legs turned back to their original state. The pirates got back and eyed us warily. "Roronoa Zoro." Buggy called out, He is a really cool guy, a bit of a douche but he is one of my favourite characters. "Are you here for my head ? I knew you would come for me one day." He said and took a knife out. "Hm ? I have no interest in your head, I quit the bounty hinter business." Zoro replied "But I want yours ! My fame will be ten times better when people will hear I killed the famous Roronoa Zoro !" He charged at him but Zoro quickly ''killed'' him. "Hehe..." The Buggy pirates started laughing "Why are they laughing ? I killed their captain." Zoro said confused That is my cue, I pushed Zoro out of the way, turned my fingers into chainsaws and quickly destroyed Buggy''s knife. Meanwhile Buggy''s reconstructed himself "Buggy the clown." I said catching everyone''s attention " has a bounty of 15 millions beri, user of the Bara Bara No Mi, Paramecia type, cannot be hurt by swords and other cutting type of weapon. Only weakness is that his body parts cannot too far from his feet or he''ll be dragged back." I said and everyone looked at me with their jaw open. "You sure know a lot about me Girly." Buggy said, he was serious. He drew all his knives. "I have an offer for you, I am recruiting for my crew, I only recruit the best and you have a place in mine." I said and looked at him straight in the eyes, he probably won''t accept but I''ll still try. Everyone was staring at me, Buggy''s crew thought I was either stupid or crazy. Buggy was thinking and Luffy and the other didn''t know what to think of me. "Before you say anything, know that I will be the Queen of Pirates and that I only chose the best, I know everything about you and you have the type of qualities I search for. Of course there are benefits to joining me, you will be the one in charge of my crew''s treasure, know that I have quite the sum already, at least a hundred million beri." I finished with a smirk. Everyone''s jaw hit the floor, Nami made a small gasp. That''s not a lie, I asked God to give at least a hundred million, I don''t know exactly how much he has given me. "You have some guts girly, I''ll think about it." Buggy finally said. "I give you 2 hours. Now if you''ll excuse me I''ll take my friends with me and leave." Zoro and I grabbed Luffy''s cage and Nami followed us. ~Buggy''s P.O.V~ right after Ruri left ~ "Captain buggy ? You are not really considering her offer ? She is just a girl, she doesn''t even have a power like you !" "When she protected zoro, I felt her strength, she crushed my knife with ease and her eyes, there was something in them, something that I hadn''t felt in a long time." I responded, I looked around me and spotted the perfect person for this. "MOHJI !" "Yes Captain Buggy ?" Mohji stepped out of the shadows. "Go in town and test the girl. Go all out on her and do it flashily !" "Yes captain buggy. Richie come here !" He hopped on the giant lion and left. ~Back to ruri~ "Hey Ruri, were you serious about recuiting Big Nose into your crew ?" Luffy asked me "Yes and no." That earned me three confused look. "I really want him to join my crew but it was mostly something I said to get us out without any unnecessary fight. Now Luffy get back from the cage, I''m going to open it." Luffy nodded and got back. I turned my whole arm into a chainsaw, I cut through the whole front of the cage, Luffy stepped out and we untied him. "Aaaah ! Feels good to stretch." He stretched his arms and legs. Then he noticed chouchou just standing there and looking at us. He tried to touch it, only to be bitten. "AAAAH ! Dumb dog ! Stop bitting my face !" He half screamed while trying to get the dog to let go. Anyway while all that was happening the mayor Boodle arrived. "Hey you damn whipper snappers ! Leave chouchou alone !" He screamed at us. If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. The mayor introduced himself and explained the story of chouchou, how he was protecting the store of pirates, how his master passed on, that he thinks chouchou is protecting the store because of the memories he has of his master. He sighed. "I tried to get him to the shelters bu he would prefer to stave to death than leave his post." He said as he petted chouchou. "ROWWWWR !" "Something''s coming let''s run !" Nami and the mayor ran while me, Luffy and zoro stayed. A giant white lion arrived with Mohji on his head. "What do we have here ? I am Mohji, Bugy''s first mate. Everyone call me the Lion tamer." He paused and looked at me. "Buggy wishes for me to test you. I will prive you are not worth his time. Richie get her !" "Luffy, Zoro, stay out of this please." I said and smiled. Richie rushed and attempted to crush me. "Shave." I used one of the six power from the CP9, it''s the only one I had time to learn. I reappeared next to Mohji. "You wish to test me ? You can already quit you are not worth my time." I said and punched him. He fell from richie, he got up and reached for his whip. "Impressive but speed is not somethig that''ll help you !" He used his whip and caught my arm. "Caught you ! Richie crush her !" He said and Richie attempted to crush me by rolling over, I jumped down from Richie. "You didn''t catch me, I caught you." I smirked and pulled on his whip, he was surprised as he got pulled towards me. "Say how well I beat your ass to buggy." I punched on top of his head, he fell on the floor. I turned to richie, "take your master and bring him back, he''ll be a bit dizzy when he wakes up but he''ll be fine otherwise. Richie growled but did what I said anyway. "How did you do that ?" Zoro asked me once the Lion was gone. "Do what ?" "How did you move so fast ? Once second you were next to us, the next you were punching that Mohji guy in the face. How ?" He added. "Look at my feet and tell me what I do." I tapped the ground ten times "Shave." And appeared on a roof. "I saw it, you hit the ground ten times with the back of your feet." He said. "Correct, that''s a move called shave, it makes you move really fast. It''s not that hard to do with a little bit of practice." I said "Impressive, how long did it take you to learn it ?" Zoro asked. "A little over two weeks." I said, it''s a lie it only took me two hours but only because god made it easier for me, that plus the fact I am naturally strong as a living weapon. The mayor came back and made his little show before going to buggy''s pirates. Or he would''ve if I didn''t knock him out. "Why did you do that ?!" Nami screamed at me. "He would''ve gotten himself killed if he went there. Anyway, it''s time to see what buggy''s answer is. I''ll let you take care of him if he says no." ~Buggy~ 3rd P.O.V "Sorry captain Buggy, I couldn''t get her." Mojhi said as he kneeled before Buggy. "How was she ? You don''t seem hurt." Buggy asked from his seat. "I don''t know, she was about to get crushed by richie but she just dissapeared, before she reappeared behind me and punched me. After that I caught her arm with my whip, or at least that''s what I thought but she just casually pulled on the whip and knocked me out, I couldn''t do anything. I aplogize." "Hmmm. It''s almost been two hours, be ready guys, prepare the Buggy ball, we''ll answer this flashily !" The pirates cheered. ~Ruri~ Still 3rd P.O.V We stood in front of the pub the buggy pirates were waiting. Buggy was looking at me. "I''ll take care of the treasure and the map, you take care of the pirates okay ?" Nami said, we just nodded. "So, have you considered my offer ? Know that those two here really want to kick your ass." I pointed at Zoro and Luffy. "It was a really tempting offer, it was hard to make the choice you know ? My flashy answer is..." Bugy lifted a hand in the air and screamed, " FIRE THE BUGGY BALL !" The cannon shot at us. "Wrong answer. Luffy, please." They knew it meant they could take care of the pirates. "Gumo Gumo No..." he took a deep breath and, "...balloon !" Turned into a giant balloon, sending back the Buggy ball in their face. Only Buggy and cabaji came out unharmed. After that the fight was quickly over, Zoro took care of cabaji in less than 30 seconds since he didn''t get wounded and Buggy kept being distraced, wether by Nami stealing his treasure or Luffy calling him big Nose. He used the Bare Bare festival and Nami used the occasion to tie his body parts. "I''ll admit, he looks quite cute in this form." I said. "Except for the cursing and the knives, I agree with you." Nami responded and smirked. "Gumo gumo No Rocket !" Luffy threw his arms backwards and set flying Mini Buggy. And like this it was over, the Buggy pirates were defeated and we left the island with nami leaving behind half of her teasure and a little extra from me to rebuild the town. Chapter 4 Since Kuro arc is one I don''t like and don''t want to do I decided to do something else in the meantime Something that will help Luffy and give me a bounty at the same time, two birds with one stone It was night, something like one A.M. Nami and I were still awake, I approached Nami "Hey Nami, do you know where the Marine base diriged by Nezumi is ? I have some business there that I need to take care of." I asked innocently She looked at me like I said something stupid but directed me anyway, " go southwest you''ll be there in 5 to 6 hours." "Kay thanks. Sorry about this." I moved too fast for her and knocked her out, since zoro and Luffy were sleeping they didn''t react. I gently put Nami on the boat with them and went on my own "Hey god, can you make me go faster, you know what I want to do right ?" I said outloud "I''ll do better than that." A voice behind me said, making me jump back, "miss me ?" God asked "What the heck are you doing here ? And while we are at it why do you look like that ?" I asked the two most important question to him. "Well you see, I thought about it and decided that instead of just watching your adventure, I''ll be a part of it. As for my look ? I just like it. But none of that god business here I am a human called Keita Kodou." His looks from when i last saw him changed a lot, he wasn''t wearing a business suit like lawyer anymore. He was now wearing a dark green short and a dark blue shirt with the kanji for ''Army'' on it, he was also wearing a white and grey jacket like the Admirals. The most important point being that he looked like he was 20 instead of 35. "Now that you finished your monologue can i explain ?" "Before that you need to give me one of those jacket." He snapped his finger and a jacket like he has appeared out of nowhere, I put it on, "perfect, you can go ahead." "Well it''s simple really, I decided to be part of your crew as Keita Kodou, I am a devil fruit user, I ate the storage-storage fruit which give me the ability to store item into me, kinda like capone bege fruit except without humans. I have our boat, our money and everything you asked me too. I also decided to erase my memory of every changes that I made so that I don''t get spoiled. Also i blocked almost all my powers so I am human. "He finished with a smile. "No way I can change your mind I suppose." He grinned, "of course not. So Nezumi huh ? What do you want to do ?" "You already know but I guess I can tell you since you are human now. I plan on destroying the base, take the money and everything of value, threaten him and basically stop him from being annoying later on." He nodded, "well i guess if we want to do that quickly i should speed us up." He said and snapped his finger, a gust of wind appeared out of nowhere and pushed our boat. I raised an eyebrow, "I thought you wouldn''t use your power ?" I said curiously "Well, I don''t want to be late to recruit Gin, so I thought that finishing our business during the night and go to back to luffy tomorrow morning when they leave for Baratie arc. We''ll be at the marine base in three hours." "Fair point. Well I trust you not to get lost then I''ll sleep a bit." I said and entered the cabin, I layed down on the bed. Then something caught my eye, it was a big bag "FUCK I FORGOT THAT NAMI''S TREASURE WAS HERE !" I yelled I heard Kaito, god it was hard to call him like that, laugh outside I fell asleep shortly afte fearing the moment Nami will get her hands on me ~2 hours and 30 minute later~ "Hey, get up lazy ass !" Someone yelled in my ear. I got up and punched on reflex, resulting in me punching Go... Keita in the nose "Ow Dab hurb !" He said holding his nose "Then don''t wake me up like this !" I yelled at him I heard a crunch and a yelp of pain as he replaced his nose, "better, now we are just 15 minutes away from the marine base so get ready." He said "Okay just give me a minute to attach my hair." I attached them in a ponytail, my hair got down to my knees even in a ponytail it was stupidly long, but I like it I put on the jacket and got out of the cabin The base had 4 building all aligned and a 5 meter wall, I could see 3 different patrols on the wall and two marine guarding the entrance. "So ? What''s the plan ?" He asked "A plan ? Do you have the wrist cannon ?" He nodded, "perfect, you are gonna put them on, we wait for an opportunity to go in, make the barracks collapse, we beat them to the ground and once we''re done we loot the place." "Simple. I like it." He grinned in such a way that Zoro would''ve been proud. And so we waited, an hour later we saw an opportunity to get in, the guard shift took 5 minute wich gave us enough time to get in. "Can you use your power to know wich building is the barracks ?" I whispered to Keita. He closed his eyes, " this one." He pointed to the 3rd building in front of us. "You know what to do." I said, a smirk getting on my face. "Ahem," he charged his wrist cannon and pointed them at the barracks, "WAKEY WAKEY MOTHERFUCKERS !" He yelled as he shot the cannonballs, the explosion generated a huge gust of wind. The wall collapsed giving us full view of the inside. Keita charged quickly his cannon again and shot again, "ROUND 2 !" This time inside the building, the marines didn''t get the time to react and the cannonball exploded. "Brutal, I would be freaking out if I wasn''t a psycho." I deadpanned. Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon. "WE ARE UNDER ATTACK !" A marine yelled from the wall. "Time to clean this place, don''t get killed." I said to Keita. "Don''t worry about me. Here take this." He handed a sword, It had two horns on each side of the blade, "I''m sure you''ll like it." ~With Ruri~ I was confused but took it anyway. Suddenly I had knowledge of how to use a sword, I looked towards Keita to see him smile. "Identify yourselves !" Someone shouted, I recognized Nezumi, he was ridiculous, with his whiskers and ears. Keita and I exchanged a look, then with a grin, "I am Naka D. Ruri, The one who will be the queen of pirates/ I am Keita Kudou, the one who will be the king of pirates !" We yelled at the same time. "ChiChiChi capture these fools !" Nezumu roared and that was the signal for the fight to start, 2 vs 100 marines at least. The marines rushed at us. I made the first move, I took Mitsurugi stance from soulcalibur with the sword at the level of my head, "One sword style : pandora''s box !" I slashed in a vertical motion at a marine and twist my sword like I just twisted a key, a huge gust of wind slammed into the marines behind the one I cut, sending them flying "Awesome !" I laughed as I saw the result of my attacks "hey Keita ! You sure making me this strong is a good idea ?!" "Don''t worry about it ! I erased my memories but I know that what i have in store for us is really dangerous you''ll need everything you can get ! I''ll even make sure that you can use haki by the time we go onto the grand line ! Now try to stab forward with the sword while taking a step forward !" He retorted before smacking a marine in the face. I waited for the marines to come forward and did as he said, with a cry the sword turned into a mammoth, crushing the marines, " I love this sword ! I need a name for you! I know, I''ll call you Dekkai !" Dekkai roared in what I assume is happiness and turned back into a sword. "Captain Nezumi ! We can''t fight them ! These two are monsters !" A marine yelled "Useless ! Surrender now !" Nezumi yelled "How about no ?" I took the same stance again and stabbed three time in Nezumi''s direction "One sword style : 3 cannon shot !" Three gust of wind violently went towards Nezumi, they made contact, producing three small explosion, blowing Nezumi into the wall behind him. "Captain Nezumi !" The marines screamed "Surrender now and we will spare your lives." I said loudly The marines exhanged looks, and after a while threw their sword and guns on the ground. ~some time before keita~ "Time to clean this place, don''t get killed." I said to Keita "Don''t worry about me. Here take this." He handed a sword, It had two horns on each side of the blade, "I''m sure you''ll like it." Ruri took the sword and I smiled when her confused look turned into a grin. "Identify yourselves !" A voice shouted, Ruri and I exchanged a look. "I am Naka D. Ruri, The one who will be the queen of pirates/ I am Keita Kudou, the one who will be the king of pirates !" We yelled at the same time. "ChiChiChi capture these fools !" Nezumu roared and the marines rushed at us.That was the signal for the fight to start, 2 vs 100 marines at least. "Now who wants to be first ?" I cracked my knuckles. One of them took out his sword and charged at me, " brave one." He aimed at my stomach. I grabbed his sword and broke it, " huh ?" Before he understood I punched him in the face, sending him flying. "Next." "One sword style : pandora''s box ! " Ruri yelled and after looking at the damage turned to me "Awesome ! Hey Keita you sure it''s a good idea to make me this strong ?" She asked me. "Don''t worry ! I erased my memories but I know that what i have in store for us is really dangerous you''ll need everything you can get ! I''ll even make sure that you can use haki by the time we go onto the grand line ! Now try to stab forward with the sword while taking a step forward !" I said before punching a marine who tried to sneak up on me. I faintly heard the cry of joy and a yell of happiness behind me but paid it no attention. I charged my wrist cannon and shot towards the marines, two explosipn sent them flying everywhere, " and that''s a combo breaker ! Keita with a score of 43 wins the fight" ~Back to the present with Ruri~ "Now, I want all of you to put handcuff on the others." They did as ordered and soon they all had handcuff. "Perfect, you will all go to this corner and will stay there while Keita wathed all of you." "And you" keita pointed at a marine, "will go with her and show her around to that she can loot everything valuable, and don''t try to play smart or I''ll kill eveyone here." He said. I looted the place and we left the base when the sun came. ~Nezumi~ Captain Nezumi was mad, he had bruises all over his body, his back was killing him, being slammed into a wall at the speed of a cannonball almost broke his spine. Not only this but more than half of his soldier were injured or dead, 150 vs 2 and they lost. And to top it all off they took everything of value in the vault, gold bars, jewels, everything. "Would you please repeat what you said Captain Nezumi ?" A voice asked through a den-den mushi, said mushi had a look of disbelief. "I said that two people attacked the base G-16 ! I want those two to have bounty placed on their head ! I am sending pictures of them now !" The look of disbelief turned into one of shock, "are you sure those two took down 150 marine soldier, they aren''t even twenty !" "I am sure of it ! They even took everything valuable ! Jewels, gold, paitings ! They got at least 200 000 berries ! Nezumi roared. "Ok captain Nezumi, we will put a bounty of these two up, how much would give them ?" "I would give them at least..." Chapter 5 "RURIIIIIIIIIIIIII !" The moment I stepped on the Merry, Nami caught me and started shaking me, " WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY MONEY ?!" She screams "I-I h-h-have It w-w-with me !" I said as I handed her the bag, she quickly snatched it and started counting it, "as an apology I even added another 5.000." She turned to me, berries sign in her eyes and hugged me, "I love you Ruri ! I never doubted you as my friend !" Talk about a 180 change "Ahem !" Keita coughed, drawing attention to him, "I believe you forgot something Ruri ? He said as he crossed his arm. "Ah yes, Nami this is Keita Kodou, my nakama, Keita this is Nami, Luffy''s navigator." "Nice to meet you Keita." Nami said "The feeling is mutual Nami." Keita returned with a slight bow A cannon shot resounded followed by Luffy''s cry, "wow you hit it on your first try Usopp !" "Of course I did, I am an expert when it comes to aiming !" Said Usopp with a smug look. "I''ve decided you can be our sniper !" Luffy exclaimed Then they noticed us and we moved to the kitchen shortly after so that I can explain where I went "So Ruri where did you go last night ?" Nami asked me once we all settled "Well you see, I had to meet with my friend here, Keita," I pointed at Keita who said hi, " then we may or may not have raided the G-16." A silence settled as me and Keita''s smile grew. "You did what ?!" They all screamed at us. But before we could explain a yell interrupted us "COME OUT YOU DAMN PIRATES !" An angry yell came from outside followed by the sound of things breaking, " I''M GONNA SLAUGHTER YOU !" Luffy rushed outside followed by me and Keita "Hey ! Who are you !" He yelled angrily at the intruder. Said person started shaking, "who am I ?" He pointed his sword at Luffy and screamed, "THAT''S WHAT I SHOULD BE ASKING ! WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE KILLING MY FRIEND ?!" He rushed at Luffy and attempted a swing, Luffy grabbed him by the head and slammed him into the wall across the deck. "A-almost had him..." "Just what the heck are you shouting about anyway ?" Luffy asked him Zoro, who got out of the kitchen spotted the man, " Hey ! Aren''t you Johnny ?" "Z-ZORO?! Is that really you bro ?" Asked Johnny surprised. Zoro ignored his question," where''s Yosaku ? Isn''t he always with you ?" "He''s sick !" We moved Yosaku on the deck and johnny started explaining. "He was fine just a couple of days ago, but all of a sudden he turned pale and kept passing out ! His teeth have begun to fall out, and his old wound reopened !" Johnny said between sob. Me, Nami and Keita just exhanged looks. "I don''t know what to do anymore, i was trying to let him rest on top of a rock but all of a sudden a cannonball blew on us." Luffy and Usopp started sweating "We''re very sorry." They said in unison "It''s fine what is done is done. If all problems could be solved with an apology there wouldn''t be a need for policemen." Luffy and Usopp started crying and excused themselves again. "Hey Nami, think we should let those idiots work it out ?" I asked her from the side. She just sighed. "God, how stupid can you get ?" She said as she approached the other "What did you just say ?!" Zoro yelled at her, she just ignored him "Luffy, Usopp ! There''s some lime in the kitchen ! Go squeeze out some juice and bring it here !" "Yes Ma''am !" They brought a pitcher and made Yosaku drink the juice as nami explained what he had. Meanwhile Yosaku and Johnny started dancing "Sorry for the late introduction. The name''s johnny !" Johnny said "And I''m yosaku ! Zoro used to bounty hunt with us in the past." Yosaku added "Nice to meet you all !" They said in unison Then yosaku fell and coughed up blood "Will you just shut up and get some rest already !" Zoro, who lost his patience roared at them Me and Keita just sighed, " let this be a lesson for all of you. This are the kinds of dangers we''ll have to face during our travel." I said "They would''ve died if they hadn''t met us." Keita paused, "although a cannonball isn''t the best way to meet." He added, Luffy and Usopp just excused themselves again "We definitely need someone that knows how to cook, a chef of the sea." Ussop said "If you think about it, that''s one of the most important talent to have on the seas." Nami nodded "Alright ! I''ve decided, let''s recruit a sea cook ! Eating good food is never a bad thing." Luffy exclaimed happily with his tongue hanging from his mouth "Bro !" Johnny exclaimed "What is it Johnny ?" "If you''re looking for a cook, I know just the place ! Although getting one to join your crew is another job entirely." Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon. He explained about the Baratie, a floating restaurant "A restaurant on the sea ?!" Everyone exclaimed except for me and Keita "That''s right. It''s about 2 to 3 days from here, but that place is close to the grand line so you gotta be careful. If you want me to I can lead you there !" Johnny said "Alright !" Luffy and Usopp said at the same time 2 to 3 days huh ? I quickly approached Keita "Hey Keita, you think we should teach them about haki ? We''ll have a week to train if we count the 4 days between Gin departure and krieg''s fight." He closed his eyes and thought, "it''s not a bad idea, Luffy and the other will get stronger faster if we teach them." "So you do it ? I don''t know how to use haki yet but I''m sure you do." A grin settled on his face, "of course I do. Well time to train I guess." He went towards the other "Hey you guys, if we got 3 days ahead of us, how about I teach you something from where I come from ?" And like that we spent our next three days training haki at all time ~3 days later~ An encounter of the Fullbody kind~ It''a sunny day, with little to no clouds. Me, Zoro and the swordsman duo Johnny and Yosaku were still training Haki Zoro, who after seeing the power of haki, hasn''t stopped trying to get used to armament. He succeeded in using it every once in a while, which is a miracle when you don''t have a god making it easier for you to learn it I wasn''t doing any better though. Sure I picked up how to use it faster but that''s only observation haki, armament was out of my league for now and of course I don''t want to put myself in a highly dangerous situation to discover if I have conqueror''s haki (god won''t tell me the prick) The real surprise was Yosaku and Johnny, seems like they had a natural affinity towards observation haki, they learnt how to use it rather quickly and they can perceive immediate threat to their life, of course they can''t sense other people yet All the others were relaxing, Luffy complaining about being too hungry to train The training session was cut short when johnny stopped mid swing, "We''re here at the restaurant !" He screamed to get everyone''s attention The Baratie is a boat that is designed to look like a fish "What do you think everyone ?" Said Yosaku and Johnny while poiting at the Baratie "What a huge fish !" Three guesses to who said that "Wow." "That''s so funky !" Then from behind us I noticed a marine boat "Everyone !" I called out, "marines are here !" "The marines !" Everyone screamed "They''re not going to attack us are they ?!" Usopp screamed, I could see his legs shaking "I believe they would, I mean we have a pirate flag hanging !" Keita said cheerfully "Hey we ain''t pirates !" Johnny said as he hid behind a barrel "Ah ! Someone''s coming out !" Yosaku added as he joined Johnny The man who came out wore a white pinstripe suit. His hair was well-combed and he had a scar under his right eye and bolts attached to his knuckles, he looked at the flag "I''ve never seen this pirate flag before, I am the marine lieutenant known as ironfist Fullbody. Who is the captain of this ship ?" He asked looking at us "I''m Luffy. I made my pirate flag the day before yesterday !" "He said the day before yesterday..." Johnny and Yosaku tried hard to fight back their laugh It was at this moment that Fullbody noticed them, "wait a minute, I''ve seen you two before..." he thought for a bit, " ah yes, you guys are Yosaku and Johnny, small time bounty hunters. Finally been caught by pirates ?" "Hey Yosaku, I think this guy is mocking us." Johnny said while scratching his hair "Well we can''t just let someone like him call us ''small time'' and get away with it..." Yosaku said "You cocky little shit !" They yelled at the same time They both drew their weapon and jumped on Fullbody''s boat Fullbody said nothing and dodged Johnny and Yosaku''s attack, he then attempted a punch at Johnny "Duck !" Yosaku yelled and Johnny ducked before swinging his sword at fullbody''s right side who blocked with his iron knuckles, Johnny and Yosaku jumped back on our boat They were getting ready for another round when a voice called out to Fullbody, "Darling, enouh playing around with weaklings and let''s get going shall we ?" "Ah yes, let''s do that." He turned towards a marine soldier, "sink them." "Yes sir !" The marine said and shot a cannonball at us "He fired !" Usopp screamed "I got it ! Gumo Gumo no balloon !" Luffy turned into a ballon and threw back the cannonball On the baratie "The hell ?!" Usopp and the swordsman duo yelled After that Luffy got dragged by Cooks while the other stood there looking Zoro looked around, " hey where''s Ruri ?" He asked "She had something to do." Keita replied No one noticed her getting on board of Fullbody''s ship Chapter 6 ''Now, let''s see where the prisonners are locked up on this boat...'' I thought as I looked around After searching around I finally spotted a Marine going down some stairs with water I followed him to a dark cell, 4 marines were guarding it. Inside was the man I was searching ''Man-Demon'' Gin WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE 2.7 Million Beri Gin is a relatively thin man of average height with short, scruffy, hair, a scruffy beard, and a slight mustache. He has dark circles under his eyes, like he didn''t sleep in weeks He wears an open white jacket with a red sea-serpent design on each side with a green shirt underneath, gray pants matching with his jacket, a gray headband with blue stripes design, and two spherical earrings on each ear. He was bleeding from an open wound on his arm, his clothes were filthy and he had bruises everywhere. Poor guy. I can see his shackles weren''t attached meaning he was gonna escape alone but I''ll still help him. Better get on his good side before I ask him to betray Krieg and join my crew I waited for the marine to open the cell, "Here drink this. Wouldn''t want you to die." The marines chuckled. The moment the door was fully opened I sprang into action "Shave." I appeared right in front of the marine and kicked him. Hard, an audible crack was heard as he flew and crashed into the wall. I grabbed the falling glass, "You okay there buddy ?" I asked Gin He looked up at me but said nothing, "look, I can see that you took your shackles off, so you can either help me kicks those guys ass and escape or stay here, your choice." I said as I handed him the water I took from the marine Meanwhile the marines all took out their sword and pointed them at me "Who are you ?!" One of them asked "Really ? You think I''ll tell you who I am ? I am obviously helping a pirate escape the marines I don''t plan on telling you my name." While I was talking Gin got up and took the water, he drank it, "finally, my was throat was burning." "Well, let''s kick those guys ass and get out, what do you think about that ?" "I''m in." He said and a small grin appeared on his face as he rushed the marines "Not a patient guy huh ?" I raised an eyebrow as I asked, "shave." I appeared right next to the closest guy and punched him in the jaw, sending him on the ground, I quickly grabbed his sword and threw it at Gin, "catch !" He caught and his grin widened, "thanks." He said as he impaled a marine in the stomach and kicked him away, the sword was stained with blood We made minced meat out of those guys, one of them escaped at some point. Probably to go tell Fullbody Gin took his stuff who was locked in a chest he destroyed "Let''s get out of here." He said before he started falling on the ground. I caught him and put his arm over my shoulder "Don''t move so much, you haven''t eaten anything in days. The boat is anchored right next to a restaurant I''ll help you there." "Thanks. For helping me escape." He said "No problem, I hate that Fullbody guy and you look like a nice guy." I smiled at him "Gin." He simply said "Naka D. Ruri." I responded. We got out of the boat and I let him rest at the back entrance of the ship. "I know someone in here who will cook for you, I''ll be back soon." His stomach growled as he slumped on the ground Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more. ~Baratie~ "Lieutenant Fullbody ! The krieg pirate escaped !" A marine said, he was bleeding from his shoulder and his shirt was thorn "Impossible ! He was on the verge of death and hadn''t eaten for weeks when we caught him and we didn''t feed him since we caught him 3 days ago !" Fullbody screamed "A girl helped him escape ! Please for-" "Get the fuck out of the way." I kicked the marine in the way down to the ground, blood dripped from his mouth and he fell unconscious Silence issued as I walked towards Sanji I stopped in front of Sanji and leaned closer to his ear "There''s someone outside who hasn''t eaten for days. I''ll pay for him just get him something please." He nodded and walked towards the kitchen, I walked back outside ignoring the stare on me ~Back entrance of the baratie~ "Here. Eat up." Sanji said as he put a plate of food and a glass of water on the ground in front of Gin Sanji sat down, his back resting on he railing, I stayed up, my back resting against the wall Gin snatched the plate and ate as if his life depended on it "It''s the best food I''ve ever eaten in my entire life." Gin said, tear streaming down his face. "I''m so grateful, I thought I was going to die, I thought it was all over for me." "It''s good right ?" Sanji said with a smile "Hey cook !" Luffy said from above, "join my crew will ya ?! Be the cook for my pirate ship !" "Eh ?" Was all sanji said. Luffy explained that he is a pirate and that he needs a cook for his crew "Oh, you''re a pirate huh ? So why did you fire that cannonball at this restaurant ?" Sanji ask while smoking "It was an accident, it was a cannonball that went astray from my self-defence." "What the heck is that supposed to mean ? In any case you better be careful, the owner was a pirate, quite an infamous one at that, and so were all of the chefs. I wasn''t a part of his crew and he''s retired now. Today he owns this restaurant, though most people just come here to see cooks fight against pirates. So please don''t damage this place much more, because this restaurant is worth more to him than any treasure." "Hear that Luffy ? No more cannonball for you." I said cheekily "It was an accident..." he pouted Gin, who was silent until now spoke, "You guys are recruiting ? Your crew must be quite small..." "Yeah, we''re only 5 including him." He pointed at Sanji who immediately denied joining his crew "Well I want you to join us!" "I refuse! I have my reasons staying here!" Sanji argued "I refuse your refusal!" Of course, Luffy wasn''t giving in "You''re a great cook, come with us!" "If I may ask, what is your goal of becoming a pirate?" "I''m going to be the king of pirates !" Luffy said it like it was a fact. "Pirate King? You look quite young, I don''t see why you need to go to the Grand Line right now. After all it is only one small part of the world''s ocean, so there''s much less dangerous places to travel to." Gin said with a hint of concern "Don''t worry, we know what we''re doing." Luffy answered "Look kid, my name is Gin and I''m one of the Krieg Pirates. Our crew headed into the Grand Line a few weeks ago, and we were caught completely off guard. It''s far too dangerous." Gin shuddered at the memory "We''re prepared." Luffy said. "Well if you think you''re ready, then I won''t stop you. Don''t say I didn''t warn you though" Gin sighed "Well, I should be going now. You already went behind their backs feeding me Sanji, I wouldn''t want to get you into any more trouble." "Don''t worry, the miss paid for your food. But just in case." Sanji threw the plate "Thank you Sanji, Ruri. You both saved my life. Just a question, can I come again ?" Gin asked sincerely. "Sure, you can come again anytime !" "And if you ever need to kick some marines ass again come to me okay ?" He set sail on a small boat "thank you again ! I''ll never forget what you guys did for me, ever !" He waved his hand at us We waved too before we heard zeff voice, " Oi get back to work eggplant ! And you too the new waiter !'' Sanji sighed and walked back into the restaurant, Luffy followed pouting. 4 days before the krieg battle, 4 days to train a bit more Chapter 7 ~Day 1 after Gin left~ Number of plate destroyed : 17 Number of fight between Sanji and Zoro : 8 Number of time Nami ate for free : 6 Johnny used shave once, he was exhausted after his attempt. They asked me and Keita to train them. They were gonna experience Keita ultra super deluxe platinum training from hell. I got the hang of observation haki, still having a hard time with armament. ~Day 2 after Gin left~ Number of plate destroyed : 45 Number of fight between Sanji and Zoro : 19 Number of time Nami ate for free : 13 "Again big sis Ruri, Big bro Keita." Yosaku and Johnny said as they got up. We were in a free room inside the baratie. They were sweating, bruises all over their bodies. "Why are you guys trying so hard ?" I asked them, they were breathing heavily and were barely able to stand up "When we saw how easily we could''ve handled that Fullbody guy." Johnny started. "We decided to step up our training so we could be more than dead weight." Yosaku finished. "Now enough talking and get ready for round 27 big sis, big bro!" They shouted and ran at us, I just smiled while Keita chuckled Maybe I''ll get three nakama instead of one and seeing Keita expression he had the same idea ~Day 3 since Gin left~ Number of plate destroyed : 63 Number of fight between LoveCook and Mosshead : 25 Number of time Nami ate for free : 18 "Ruri-chwaaan, would you please taste this cake ? I made it for you !" Sanji said as he presented me with a slice of cake. I took a bite, "Hmmm ! This is really good Sanji ! The chocolate is perfect." I said and took another bite. "I am glad the angel enjoyed my food !" He said with hearts in his eyes. I finished the slice, " thank you for the slice Sanji. Now if you''ll excuse me, I have to train." I went where Yosaku and johnny were and kept training with them. ~Day 4 since Gin left~ Number of plate destroyed : 80 Number of fight between LoveCook and Mosshead : 33 Number of time Nami ate for free : 24 Today is the day Krieg attacks the Baratie, today is the day Nami steals the Going Merry. Today is the day I recruit Gin in my crew. But first let''s try to talk to Johnny and Yosaku. "Hey guys, let''s not train today, you''ve been going for 6 hours a day for Three days." I said to them. "Come on big sis ! We can''t just stop !"Johnny pleaded. "We are very far from big bro Zoro !" Yosaku added. "Just take the damn day off ! We also gave something to ask you guys." They looked at me and Keita, questionmarks above their heads" I plan on creating my own crew, and I would like you two to join." "Really ?!" They asked at the same time. "Yes really. You guys made a lot of progress. A week ago when we met Johnny you got your ass handed by Luffy and he wasn''t trying. Now look at you, you can handle fighting against me or Keita without getting destroyed. So I ask, will you join my crew ? Will you join me on my quest to become the Pirate queen ?" They paused. Looked at me seriously and shouted, "of course we will join you captain Ruri !" They started dancing. "None of that captain nonsense, Big sis Ruri is fine. Now how about we go eat to celebrate ?" And with a ''yes'' we want into the dining room. "Hm ? Not training today guys ?" Asked Zoro as he raised an eyebrow. "Nope, today we celebrate their progress among other things. Sanji ! Food please !" I heard ''yes Ruri-chwaaaan'' and soon enough he came with a full plate of meat, vegetables and other food stuff. I raised my cup, " To Yosaku and Johnny progress !" And I gulped the wine. "It''s don Krieg !" A customer screamed as he looked through the window "A skull with two hourglasses to threaten their enemies.. there''s no doubt about it ! It''s Krieg''s flag !" Another said "Why is here ?!" One said fearfully "This is bad ! We should run away !" Usopp said while sweating "What a huge ship ! You think Gin came to repay his debt ?" Luffy asked Sanji "I don''t think that''s the case, but it''s strange..." he trailed off as he looked at the ship, "that ship is in complete shambles ! To turn a galleon of this size into such a state. That''s no work of humans. They must''ve been caught in some natural disaster." He said The door of the baratie opened and came inside Gin as he held Krieg up "Sorry for intruding... but could I have some food... if it''s money I have plenty of it." Krieg''s voice was barely louder than a whisper, he was having trouble breathing "That weak looking guy is Krieg ?" I heard one of the cook, Patty if I remember correctly say "He looks like he''s starving..." "I wonder what happened ?" Sanji said looking at him Krieg''s grip on Gin loosened and he fell on the floor "Don Krieg !" Gin rushed to his side, "I''m begging you ! Please give him some food and water ! Please save my captain !" He yelled in panic, but no one moved Until Patty''s laughter boomed inside the Baratie, " AHAHAHAHA ! Perfect, just perfect !" He said, " So this is what infamous outlaw don Krieg looks like ?" "We have money this time ! We are paying customers !" Patty ignored Gin and pointed at the other cooks, "hey guys contact the marines ! This is the perfect chance for them to capture him !" The customers laughed with him, "that''s right !" "Who knows what he''ll do once he gets back on his feets ?!" "This is retribution for all the crimes he comitted !" "I won''t do anything, I promise ! Just give me some food and I''ll leave." Krieg begged as he lowered his head to the ground "Don no ! Someone like you shouldn''t be begging them !" Gin said, tears threatening to fall from his eyes "I''m begging you ! I don''t care if it''s leftovers or whatever, just give me some food please !" Krieg ignored Gin who was now crying "Hmph, trying to earn some sympathy." "Hey, move it Patty !" Sanji''s voice called out before Partty took a kick to the face and flew out of the way "here Gin, givr this to him." He said as he handed him a bottle of wine and a plate of food "Sanji !" Krieg however didn''t wait and grabbed the food before gulfing it down, "thank you !" "Hey Sanjo what are you doing ?! Take that food back ! Don''t you know what kind of man krieg is ?!" One of the cooks yelled "The ruler of east blue !" I laughed at that, " the king of deception ! That''s the kind of man he is ! He escaped from prison and killed a marine officer before taking the control of his ship ! That''s how he became a pirate !" The chef yelled "Since then he attacked ports, town and other ship by hanging the marines flag ! And when he attacks his enemies he hangs a white flag to take thel by surprise ! He will use any kinds of tricks to win ! Letting someone like him starve is good for the world !" He added While Sanji was distracted Krieg got up and punched him, sending him flying "SANJI !" Everyone screamed "Don krieg that''s not what you promised ! I showed you this place because you said you won''t attack it ! That man is our savior !" Krieg didn''t pay attention and grabbed Gin''s shoulder before squezzing it hard, making Gin scream in pain "Bastard." I was trying really hard to contain my anger, I don''t mind killing a scum like him. Seeing keita grits his teeth it seems like he has the same opinion "Aaah, I feel great, like I''m back to normal. This ship is great, I''ll take it !" He said The customers screamed in terror before fleeing "Don, this is not what you promised..." Gin said as he held is Shoulder "My ships all worn out. I''ll be taking this one after I finished my business with you. I have about a 100 men starving on my boat, so prepare food for them." "You''re asking us to feed your men when we know they''ll attack us after ?! We refuse !" Carne yelled Krieg looked at him, sending shivers down his spine," it''s seems like there is a misunderstanding, i''m not asking you. I''m ordering you." "Sanji, Ruri I''m so sorry...I''ve never intended for things to go like this..." Gin said, tears falling from his eyesStolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. That was the last push, I took out Dekkai, "shave !" Without warning I appeared in front of Krieg, "Dekkai smash !" Dekkai turned into a mammoth and slammed with all his weight into Krieg, sending im flying and crashing in his boat Shock was visible on peoples face when they saw Dekkai turned back into a sword, " devil fruit." I shrugged at the shocked people Meanwhile the chefs took out guns and pointed them at Sanji, "Who do you think you are ?! Krieg''s secret agent !" A chef said "We''re tired of your reckless actions !" Another yelled Sanji put his hands in the air, "fine stop me, go ahead and shoot. I know they are scums who aren''t worth saving. But to me none of that matters, for me thinking about the consequences of feeding someone is such a hassle. A cook should be able to feed anyone who''s starving. Isn''t that ideal ?!" Patty appeared behind him and slammed him into the ground, "Patty !" The chefs yelled "Hold him down !" Patty said Everyone stared at him until Zeff came out with a giant bag of food, he threw it in front of the Baratie''s entrance, "here eat this and get the hell out of my restaurant." "Owner Zeff ! What are you doing ?!" The chefs yelled (I feel like it''s a running gag...) "Did they say Zeff ? As in ''Red Leg'' Zeff ?" Krieg asked "So what if I am ? I''m just a mere cook now." Zeff replied "Interesting you put it like that. The way I see it is you didn''t have a choice. But I don''t care about the how. I know you survived the Grand line, that means you must have a Log book from this time ! Hand it over to me !" He said as he came back to the entrance of the baratie "It''s true that I have a Log book from those times. But I won''t hand it over to you." Zeff calmly stated "Then I''ll just steal it ! The only thing I lacked on the grand line ! With your Log book I''ll be prepared for everything !" Krieg explained "Idiot." I said and silence settled as krieg turned towards me "What did you call me ?!" He asked, anger in his voice as vein appeared on his face "She called you an idiot and she is right." Keita appeared next to me and said "And how am I an idiot ?" He asked "Because you think that just with information and number you''ll be able to beat the Grand Line. If only information and number was needed then Grand line would''ve been conquered a long time ago." I said as I approached Gin, "you okay ?" I asked him as I extended a hand towards him "You are angering brat, I will go feed my men and when I finished you better have dissapeared or you''ll wish you were dead when I finished with you." He said as he grabbed the bag of food and left Gin grabbed my hand and got up, "I''m sorry... I never planned for any of this to happen." "There''s no need to apologize." Zeff said, shocking everyone, then he went on and explained that if they had time to cry over sanji''s action they could use the back door to leave "I''m gonna stay here. I wouldn''t be able to live with myself if I left here without a fight." Patty said The other cooks agreed and took out weapon shaped like tools used in cooking "W-what are you all doing ?! Haven''t you all realised how strong Don Krieg is by now ?!" Gin yelled as he stood between the exit and them "It''s no use Gin. They''ve made their choice." I told him Then Luffy asked him about the grand line and he told them what happened "A SINGLE MAN DESTROYED FIFTY SHIPS !" Everyone screamed, me included "While we had no idea what was happening, our ships sank one by one, and if not for the storm ours would''ve sank as well. I don''t even know how many of our ship survived. It just too terrifying to be real ! I don''t even want to think about that hawk eyed man who''s glare is enough to kill a man !" Zoro flinched wide eyed, "how can a single man sink 50 ships ?!" "It had to be the work of that hawk eyed man." Zeff said, "you saying that you witnessed a man who''s glare could kill a man wasn''t proving it was him but the fact that he sunk your entire fleet is more than enough proof it was really him !" "Hawk eyed man ?! Who''s that ?" Usopp asked "Beats me." Luffy responded nonchalently "He is the man I''m searching for. Accordig to Johnny." The chefs went on about a client who once got pissed and his eyes turned red when he set himself on fire. "That idiot he got his info mixed up !" Zoro said "Hm ? What about Johnny ?" "No nevermind." Zoro said, sweat drpping from his forehead. At this point I tuned out of their conversation and looked outside, I noticed something weird "Hey Keita, why do these guys have some weird black aura around them ?" "Ah, you finally noticed huh ? Let me explain real quick. You see the fact is that you are a death scythe and death scythe eat the souls of evil guys to become stronger. What you see is their soul. I changed what you are, normally you would''ve had to eat 99 souls and a Witch¡¯s soul, but witch don''t exist here so I modified how you work. Now when you eat a soul you will gain their knowledge, fighting styles, their forces. For example if you ate a swordsman you would get his experience has a swordsman." He smiled, "and if you at the soul of someone with a devil fruit, you gain their devil fruit ability !" My jaw dropped. "To finish my explanation, you can see the state of their soul. Rigt now because you didn''t eat souls yet you can only see truly corrupt people, people with black souls. After eating more souls you will also see good people with green souls, neutral people with white and other variations." He finished explaining "Wow, that''s amazing ! That means I can use devil fruits without losing my ability to swim ?!" I''m sure I had star in my eyes "Yes, you can." He simply stated Meanwhile the Krieg''s pirate finished eating "WE''RE SAVED !" They all screamed "I can''t believe we are alive !" "We survived the pirate''s graveyard !" "We''ve escaped from that nightmare !" "Yes... and we''ll set back onto the grand line." A silence ensued before every pirates screamed "WHAT?" "Hm ? What''s with the faces ?" Krieg raised an eyebrow "We''re... going back there ?" One of them asked and got shot "Any others who disagree ?" Krieg asked "N-No sir ! All hail don krieg !" The pirates said I was looking and couldn''t stop my shaking, "this bastard just shot his crewmate..." Luffy tensed and his hat cast a shadow on his eyes, he pissed Luffy, he''s a dead man walking now "First we''ll abandon this old ship that might sink at any moment and we''ll take the restaurant. Your enemies are just a bunch of cooks. This should be a piece of cake." Was the pun intended ? The pirates looked at the restaurant and moved to invade but before any of them could move, their boat was cut in half "WHAT ? WHAT HAPPENED ?!" Krieg yelled "Don krieg ! Our ship''s been cut !" One of the krieg pirates yelled back "Cut ?! What the hell do you mean cut ?! How can a ship this huge be cut ?! That''s impossible !" Krieg shouted Luffy and the other rushed to the Going Merry I stared wide eyed as Krieg''s ship started sinking into the ocean "Don Krieg, it''s him ! The one who sank our fleet ! He followed us all the way out here !" "He''s the one who sank 50 ships...?" One of the cook asked "He looks like any normal guy, he doesn''t even have a weapon..." "If you''re looking for his weapon, then look on his back." Zeff said "W-What ?! You mean he cut that gigantic galleon by swinging that ?!" "Yes, that hawk eyed man is a renowned swordman. More renowned than any other swordman in the world..." The person in question is a tall lean man with black hair, a short beard, mustache and sideburns that point upwards He wears black and red ornate clothing with a crucifix pendant that hides a little dagger, which gives him the appearance of a Spanish swordsman. His attire consists of a wide-brimmed black hat decorated with a large plume, and a long, open black coat with no shirt underneath, with red, flower-patterned sleeves and collar. He wears white pants held up by a decorated belt and tucked inside overly large boots "He is Dracule Mihawk, the world strongest swordsman !" I didn''t miss Keita''s grin, fuck Chapter 8 Mihawk was still sitted on his ship, no one dared to move in case they would catch his attention Until an idiot tried to shoot him, he took the sword on his back and changed the bullet direction "WHAT ? IT MISSED ?!" The idiot screamed "He deflected the bullet. It''ll be the same no matter how many times you shoot." Zoro said calmly, not moving his eyes from Mihawk "And who''re you huh ?!" Said idiot screamed at Zoro who ignored him "I''ve ever seen such graceful movement." "A sword without grace is no strong sword." At this point I zoned out, I didn''t want to wacth the beating Zoro would take and instead approached Keita who was grinnig like an idiot, eating on the tables "Why did you suddenly grin like that ?" I asked him, he looked at me, grin still on his stupid face "Oh ? I may or may not have remembered one of the changes I made, don''t worry it won''t be effective until we step onto the Grand Line." He went back to eating, ignoring the tick mark that appeared on my forehead "And on a scale of 1 to 10, how much is it gonna bite me in the ass ?" "Funny you say that, don''t worry about it." I left clearly I wouldn''t get an answer from him I came back to Zoro makig his promise to Luffy, "Finally. I can start killing some assholes." I muttered Krieg aproached Mihawk, a smirk plastered on his stupid face, "hawk eyes," he said getting the attention of Mihawk, "you came all the way here for my head ? The infamous Don Krieg ?" "For a while, yes. But I''ve already enjoyed myself here, so I''ll go take a nap." "No need to go that fast. You may havr had your fun, butI sure haven''t." "He''s an idiot." Keita, who finished eating joined me and looked at Krieg "Yup. A big one too." I nodded Krieg''s armor opened up, guns coming out from everywhere, "HOW ABOUT YOU DIE BEFORE LEAVING ?!" All the guns shot at the same time "You never learn do you..." Mihawk said before smoke from the explosions engulfed the area "Guys go ahead and chase after Nami !" Luffy said at Usopp and the other "Yosaku, Johnny, go help them !" I yelled "Ok, Big sis Ruri !" "We''ll definitly bring back Nami ! So you better get that cook !" Usopp yelled before they left in direction where Nami went "Hey old man ! If I help you take care of these guys will yoi let me off the hook ?" Luffy asked Zeff "Fine, do whatever you want brat." "Well, that was a nuisance, but we planned on abandoning this ship anyway. So who cares if it''s been destroyed." Krieg said "If we have that boat, we won''t have to hang the white flag." "Yeah, no one will expect pirates waiting inside." One of Krieg''s goon said "And this era has so many pirates, it won''t be that hard to rebuild our rank." "And you''ll die because all you''ll have will be 5000 weak punk." I added Eveyone whirled around, seeing me sitting on a piece of the ship "You bitch, when did you get here ?" Krieg asked and everyone drew their weapons, I looked at them, all had black aura around them "At the moment you started monologuing about how you''ll take this ship for yourself. Don''t bother trying." I said "And why is that ? You think you can stop us, stop me ?" Krieg said cockily "Yes, right now you are all dead man walking." I said coldly, I didn''t even know I could talk like that "Shave." Without letting them react I dissapeared and reappeared next to the closest guy and unsheated Dekkai "I''m not sorry." I plunged Dekkai right into his heart. His eyes turned white and he dissapeared, leaving behind a black soul I picked it up and ate it, "Yuck, taste like shit." Memories sudfenly appeared and I knew hew to use a gun, this guy must''ve been a marksman Every pirates tensed as they looked at the display, I''m pretty sure I would also be scared if someone I knew just got erased from the face of the earth "Wha?" A Krieg''s pirate asked in disbelief No one talked for a little while until i broke the silence, "Oi, you guys are going to get me or what ? And you guys are going to help me kick their asses or no ?" My voice woke up everyone Then the battle started, Luffy flew in the air as he kicked Krieg''s pirates in the sea using his leg as a whip Patty and the cook named carne detached the boat''s head and shot cannonball at the other Meanwhile Krieg point every guns at me and shot I dodged them, jumping around "too slow !" I said as I shaved behind him "Take this you piece of trash ! Dekkai Smash !" Dekkai turned from sword into mammoth and slammed into Krieg "Grk !" Krieg flew and crashed in a part of his boat "How do you like this you dick ?" I felt someone behind me and ducked as a sword whirled past me I got back up and turned my leg into a saw "VRRR !" With a buzzing sound my saw leg started working and I aimed it at his throat, cutting his head off, he turned into a soul that I quickly ate "Another devil fruit ?!" Krieg yelled as he got out of the wall he was stuck in "Nope, I''m just a living weapon." He sent me a curious look before it turned into one of anger "Don''t fuck with me !" He yelled and his shoulder plate opened, two cannon poiting at me, with a boom they shot at me "Oh ? Wanna see who has the biggest firepower ?" I took my stance and aimed at the cannonballs " One sword style : Double cannonball shot !" The two attacks met head on, smoke and dust flew everywhere as both attacks exploded When the dust cleared I saw Krieg halting Patty and Carne mini boat "I am Don Krieg. I don''t have time to play with weaklings like you !" He yelled and threw them towards the restaurant "Agh ! We''re gonna crash into the restaurant!" Sanji jumped and kicked them back "He kicked it ?!" Krieg said in disbelief "He kicked that weird ass ship ?!" One of the Krieg''s pirate shouted "Not bad !" Luffy said in a happy tone "SANJIIII !" Patty and Carne screamed at the same time "You trying to kill us ?!" Sanji looked at them, "yes." He deadpanned "Did your brain become rotted in stew, you bastard ?!" Patty shouted "Yeah ! You almost lost two powerful fighters !" Carne added "Powerful ? Don''t make me laugh. You''re still cooks. We are the Krieg''s pirate ! Ruler of east blue. So scram !" One of the Krieg''s pirate said as they got out of the water and landed in front of them "Only because you''re overwhelming tour opponents. Alone you aren''t even stronger than a toddler." I said They wanted to say something but couldn''t deny the truth "Enough ! You are annoying you little bitch !" Krieg shouted and I turned back to him "Will you shut up now ? I am waiting for someone." I dismissed him, he didn''t like it since he took out his spear "Huh ?! Don krieg took out his great war spear already ?!" One of them shouted "I will enjoy breaking you and turning you into my slave you little bitch !" With a warcry he jumped at me "A strike to my head." I said and ducked under the spear, what i forgot was that the spear exploded I took the explosion and was snet flying back onto the baratie "Ruri ! You okay ?" Keita rushed at my side and helped me back up "Yeah, didn''t know his spear exploded. And you ? What are you even doing ?" "I''m watching the show of course !" He said with a smile "Tch. I knew I couldn''t count on you." I said "Danger ! Danger ! These guys are nuts ! DANGER !" ah ? I missed half of Sanji''s fight ? That''s no good "Don''t you dare get close to me ! Fire pearl''s..." pearl took out ten small beads, "...special treat !" And launched them, lighting them on fire as he did He lit everything on fire, everyone jumped inside the water to evade the spreading fire Sanji ignored the fire and rushed to pearl, evading pearl (poorly) attempt to punch him and kicked pearl in the face "This guy is too dangerous ! More fire ! More pearl !" He threw pearl (the irony) everywhere "Agh he'' plannig on burning the restaurant ! If the fire gets to the kitchen this place is a goner !" Zeff stood at the entrance of the baratie, looking at the approaching fire pearls "Sir run away !" The cooks yelled In a blurry motion Zeff lifted his leg and threw a kick, putting out the fire, "I may have lost a leg, but this much is nothing I can''t handle." He said calmly "That idiot pearl is more trouble than he''s worth. Before the fire gets to the restaurant, I''ll sink those fin." Krieg said as he threw a giant spike ball where sanji is But just before it could make contact Luffy appeared and Bazooka''ed the ball sending it back It hit a mast, breaking it and falling pearl''s head. Knocking him out "AAAAH !" A scream resounded from behind and turning around I could see Gin holding a shotgun at Zeff''s head You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story. "Please stop fighting Sanji. I don''t want to hurt you" "Gin !" "Gin..." "No matter how great he has been in the past, now he''s just someone else I can kill easily." "That bastard broke Zeff''s peg leg !" "That''s it, I''m sending him flying !" "Wait a minute ! Let''s see what he has to say first." Sanji held him back "You want to save this man Sanji? Then leave this place !" "Leave this place ? As if !" He looked at Zeff, "old man you''re pathetic. This is the example you set when the other cooks are fighting for this ship ?" "Shut up, I don''t want to hear it from an eggplant like you." "Who you calling an eggplant you damn geezer ?! Stop treating me like a kid !" "Gin." My voice stopped the little argument between Sanji and the cooks, I feel like this is a power in itself, " stop being an idiot, if you have to point this gun at someone, then point it on me." I said as I walked in front of him "Ruri...." he trailed off "Gin, you''re a good man, someone like Krieg doesn''t deserve your respect." "What do you know ?!" He snapped at me "I know that you are someone who cares about other, the fact that you showed this place to Krieg to save him and your crew from starvation, the fact you didn''t just blew The geezer head''s off when you canclearly just do it and win this battle too." I took a deep breath and kept going, "just look at Krieg, he is a scum, someone who doesn''t care about his crew ! He shot his crewmate just because he didn''t want to go back on the grand line ! He is someone who doesn''t stop using underhanded tricks and cowards strategy !" I said "I see it now... you guys are super dangerous. Now don''t move if you don''t want the old man''s head to blew up." Pearl said as he got up "Ultra natural pearl present !" He punched sanji in the face, sending him crashing next to me and Gin "Why didn''t you dodge that !" Luffy yelled "Because the geezer is held at gunpoint." Sanji replied. He turned to Gin, "Gin, you cheap son of a bitch ! There''s no way I can accept your terms !" "Why not ?! All you have to do is leave and everyone''s live will be spared !" "Do you truly believe that Gin ?" He looked at me in surprise, "do you truly believe that krieg will let any of us leave ? That he will leave people who can tell everyone that this ship is under his command ? You know him better than us Gin. As he ever held is promise ?" "He would." Gin said but I could see in his eyes that it was more to convince himself than us "Don''t listen to this bitch and blew Zeff''s head off Gin ! The ship will be ours !" Krieg yelled "Just leave please. Ruri..." Gin said "This ship is the geezer''s treasure ! I already took everything from him ! His strength, his dreams ! Which is why..." he got up, "... I don''t want him to lose anything else !" "Damn pipsqueak. Now''s not the time to think about ancient history !" "Stop treating me like a kid dammit !" "Sanji watch out !" Patty screamed "Pearl close !" Pearl smashed Sanji''s head between his hand, making him fall on the ground "I don''t care about your history. Pearl service." He jumped in the air and hivered above Sanji, "tarnished silver present !" And slammed into Sanji "Dammit Gin ! This is what you want ?! To let Krieg kill everyone here while you sit there with Zeff at your mercy ?! The man who saved all your crew when he could''ve let you all die from hunger ?! You know Krieg will kill us all !" I yelled Gin started shaking, he bit his lips hard enough to make blood fall out "You ate your own leg and gave me all the food... you saved my life." "He stood up after taking my pearl present ?" "I''m not handing over this restaurant, and I''m not letting you kill the geezer either... he''s a guy who gave up his entire life to save a brat like me." He wiped blood off his mouth, " IF I CAN''T EVEN PUT MY LIFE AT RISK TO SAVE HIM THEN I CAN NEVER REPAY MY DEBT TO HIM !" He shouted "Repay his debt...?!" The krieg''s pirate asked in disbelief "Sanji ! Don''t do any more unecessary things ! I''m not so feeble enough that I need to be rescued by an eggplant." Sanji snorted, "you can talk. If you hadn''t given up your leg to save my life then those guys wouldn''t be pushing you around." "Why do you still stand up Sanji..." "AHAHAHA ! Still haven''t had enough of my pearl present ?!" Pearl said as he laughed "Listen Gin, listen and think about what you are going to hear, and ask yourself this ''is this why I fight for ?''" "You ain''t got any chance lf winning ! The final result is all that matters in this world ! If you lose then you''re the loser, no other way around it ! It doesn''t matter if you take hostages ! The last man standing is the victor ! Isn''t that right Don Krieg ?" Pearl asked as he turned to Krieg "Exactly." "Right Gin ?!" Gin didn''t respond, "oh well, I shouldn''t even ask, you are the one holding him hostage after all." Pearl said smugly "I''ll protect this restaurant, if even for a second longer." "AHAHA ! A flashy last stand huh ? Doubly certain pearl present !" Pearl punched sanji in the face two times "We gotta put out this fire or else the restaurant''s gonna burn !" All around us cooks and pirates alike tried to stop the fire "It''s useless ! The fire''s too strong !" "AAAHAHAHA ! Feel free to fight back ! As long as you want ! That is, if you want to let the old man die." "Nghhhh... Gumo Gumo No..." Luffy''s feet extended in the air, goong impossibly high "Don''t attack him you idiot !" "...Axe !" Luffy''s feet came down like a bullet and destroyed the fin entirely, chunks of kt flew everywhere creating waves that crashed on the boat "That little brat... Gin blow the old man''s head now !" Krieg yelled "B-but..." Gin stuttered "The hell do you think you''re doing errand boy ?!" "I''m sinking this ship." Luffy stated "What ?! What did he just say ?!" Everyone (minus me, Keita and Zeff) shouted "Oh hell no !" The cooks shouted "This ship is ours ! Don''t you dare !" The Krieg''s pirate shouted "Gin just blow Zeff''s head off already !" Sanji grabbed Luffy by the collar, "just what the hell do you think I''ve been working for in this restaurant ?! Are you out of your mind ?!" "But if the ship''s destroyed their plan will be ruined." "Reckless but logical." Keita nodded "You have no idea what this restaurant means to me, nor the gravity of my debt !" Sanji said still grabbing Luffy "So you''re planning to die for this restaurant ? What''re you, stupid ?!" "What ?!'' "YOU WON''T BE REPAYING ANY DEBT BY DYING ! THE OLD MAN DIDN''T SACRIFICE HIMSELF TO SAVE YOU JUST SO YOU COULD DIE NOW !" Luffy screamed as he held Sanji now "THAT''S WHAT WEAKLING WOULD DO !" "IT''S NOT LIKE YOU KNOW OF A BETTER WAY TO GET OUT OF THIS MESS !" They screamed at each other, tugging at their collar "Now now stop fighting you two and let me kill you both with my fire pearls !" Pearl shouted as he started burning again It was at this moment that I saw the look in Gin''s eyes. There was a fire, like he finally found the answer he was looking for He moved swiftly, getting out his tonfa and eat pearl, breaking his shield and sending him to the ground unconscious "Sorry Pearl." "Gin !" Luffy and Sanji said in unison "JUST WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU''RE DOING GIN ?! Krieg yelled "What I''m doing...? That''s obvious no ? I am betraying you." Gin said as he held his Tonfa on his shoulder "WHAT ?! YOU USELESS PIECE OF TRASH ! AFTER EVERYTHING I''VE DONE FOR YOU YOU DECIDE TO BETRAY ME ?! DON KRIEG ! YOU WILL LISTEN TO ME AND KILL THEM NOW !" "NO ! I''m tired of listening to a dumbass like you ! Ruri was right, you are nothing but a coward and a scum ! If we follow you into the Grand Line again all that''ll happen is we''ll get killed because of your stuborness !" Gin yelled back "Grk. Fine, you forced me to do this !" Krieg took out a huge shield with a skull on it "It''s the MH5 !" "That poison gas !" "Throw away your mask Gin, from now on, you are not a part of my crew." Gin took out his gas mask and threw it at me. "Gin !" I said as I picked up the mask, " you don''t have to listen to a him !" "Like hell I''ll let you fire your gas bomb !" Luffy runned on the fallen mast but Krieg just broke it in two forcing Luffy back "Gin !" Lufy called out, "Like Ruri said, there''s no need to listen to a coward like him !" "Strawhat ! Don''t you dare insult Don Krieg ! Don Krieg is the strongest man, you don''t have a chance beating him." Sanji grabbed gin by the shoulder, "open your eyes already Gin ! He is a trying to kill you !" "Of course he is. I''m just a failure who betrayed him. This is what I deserve." Gin smiled "Lethal poison gas bomb MH5 !" Krieg put on his gas mask and shot his bomb Chapter 9 When he shouted I acted in an instant, I shaved right next to him and grabbed his mask before shaving next to the sea and grabbing two other mask from the pirates I moved and gave Luffy and Sanji one before putting the one Gin gave me on myself as I held the last one on Gin''s face I just had the time to hear Krieg scream ''You little bitch !'' Before the bomb went off, Poison gas spreading everywhere. 5 minutes later, when the gas dissipated, everyone could see me and the others with gas mask and Krieg on the ground, his skin taking a pale color and panting hard "Ruri why..." Gin was at lost for word "What did I say when I first saved you ? Ah, yes. I think you''re a good guy Gin. That and krieg pisses me off." I smiled "KRIEEEEEEG !" Luffy shouted "Ah. Well it seems like this battle is over." "What are you saying ?" "Well. Right now Luffy is absolutely livid. And angry Luff means Krieg is not gonna win the battle." I explained to Gin Krieg was slowly getting up, his skin had gotten back a little of his color but he was still pale "You... have been a thorn in my side for far too long girl." Krieg gaze was fixated on me I looked at Luffy then back at Krieg, " I think it''s time we teach him what it means to hurt our friends, isn''t that right Luffy ?" "Yeah." Luffy started running towards Krieg "Wait ! You can''t hope to beat Krieg !" Gin shouted "Just watch Gin. The man you call Krieg, today he will fall." "Foolish boy ! You can''t swim if you come closer you''ll just die !" Said krieg as he took out small bombs and sent them everywhere towards us The explosion created a wall of water and smoke and Luffy took advantage of it and threw a punch at Krieg "Foolish boy ! If you want to hit me so bad, then try to hit me through my Kezan Cape!" "It''s a cape covered by spike !" "There''s no way he can hit Krieg with that around him !" The cooks yelled "Gumo Gumo No Bullet !" Luffy just ignored it and punched him on the right side of his face, he tumbled to the the ground "WHAT ?! HE HIT HIM WITH HIS BARE HAND !" "He is completely reckless !" Sanji said "Don Krieg was knocked out !" "Now..." Luffy took the broken spike from the cape in his hand, "is this place my grave ? Or yours ? Which is it ?" Krieg started getting up, coughing blood, "but don''t you dare decide that question with your measly spiked cape and weapon. This place is not where I''ll die !" "Watch him carefully Sanji, someone like him is the worst enemy you can face. Wether he loses or wins hist fight, I like guys like him..." "If this place..." Krieg stood up, panting heavily, "isn''t your grave, then who is it ?!" He attacked Luffy with his giant shield Or that''s what would''ve happened if I didn''t exist. "Don''t you dare forget about me ! One sword style : decapitating airwaves !" With an horizontal slash a wind blade flew towards Krieg''s shield and stopped it in his tracks, the blade left a 5cm dent into his shield Luffy took the occasion to kick Grin on the left side of his face sending him once again to the ground I appeared next to Luffy, "you don''t mind if I help kick his ass ?" "No problem." "Those kids are strong enough to match our Don ! If this keeps going Don will lo-" "SHUT YOUR WORTHLESS TRAP !" Krieg assembled his spear again "Ah ! Don brought out his Great war Spear again ! It''s his strongest weapon !" He swung it to the ground, breaking the part of the boat we were on in half "I can''t wait to see how you''ll fight against this spear. Unlike the others I used this one is in a whole other league." "It exploded ?" "Ruri, Kid ! Be careful, the stronger he swing his spear the more powerful the explosion is ! He can blow up whole houses if he swings it with all his strength !" Gin shouted from the baratie''s entrance "Thanks for the heads up Gin but..." I grinned as Krieg swung his spear at me, " It''s useless if he can''t hit me." I ducked under his blow and kicked Grin in the chin, he stumbled back, "Insolent Bitch !" "Gumo Gumo No Bazooka !" Luffy hit Krieg from behind sending him towards me "VRRRRR !" With a buzzing sound my left turned into a chainsaw and I aimed my kick at Krieg''s spear A screech resounded as my leg sliced through his spear, cutting it in two "Wha ?!" Krieg looked wided eyed at my leg, not believing it turned into a chainsaw. He must''ve missed when I decapitated his crewmate with it I picked up the half that fell on the ground, "weapons aren''t everything Krieg. You are strong only because of your number. Not once did you train, enhanced your reflexes, that was your weakness." I threw the explosive tip to Keita, he catched it "Storage-storage open. " he said made an opening motion with his hands, a black hole opened, he threw the spear in it and closed the hole in the same motion "My great spear ! What did you do to it ?!" Krieg yelled at Keita, vein popping on his forehead "I put it where you''ll never get it." Keita responded with a smirk "This is the end for you Krieg." "Gumo Gumo No... "Buzz... "Rocket/kick !" Luffy''s attack collided once more on Krieg''s back and I hit him on the front with the back side of my saw leg A crack was heard and blood poured from Krieg''s mouth as his eyes closed "DON !" The krieg''s pirate shouted "Not yet !" Krieg''s eyes opened and he catched me and Luffy in a iron net "Ah Ruri stop crushing me !"" "If I could I would you idiot !" "Go sleep with the fishies you pest !" He said as he jumped into the ocean "As long as I can still stretch my arms and legs victory is mine !" Luffy said as he eextended his feet and entangled themselves and caught krieg''s face "He''s still fighting even though the ocean is his weakpoint !" ''He doesn''t hesitate, even for an instant, hiw can he...'' Sanji thought "How can he keep fighting despite the situation is what you''re wondering right ?" "Give me some support you bastards !" Krieg shouted at his crew "Y-Yes Don !" They all took a crossbow out but fore they could shoot two explosion resounded sending waves around and preventing them to help "Don''t even try." Keita said "Gumo Gumo No..."Luffy''s legs started spinning lifting Krieg in the air "AAAAAAAAAAH !'' "Sledgehammer !" And slammed him face first on a part of his boat "AAAAAAH ! DON KRIEG !" "WAY TO GO ERRAND BOY !" "They did it ! They beat admiral Don krieg." Then we fell into the ocean, I tried in vain to get back to the surface but I was too tired to get the net off of us Then, I saw blond hair and I was pulled from the water "Pfouah ! Ah...ah...ah... thank you Sanji, Luffy was dragging me down with him !" I said as I sucked in air "No problem Ruri, if I left our saviors to die I would be the worse gentlemen ever." He said smiling at me We dragged Luffy back onto the boat "NO ONE DARED TO GO AGAINST ME ! I''VE WON EVERY SINGLE BATTLE I''VE BEEN IN ! IT''S UTTERLY IMPOSSIBLE THAT THERE IS SOMEONE THAT CAN MATCH MY STRENGTH ! " Krieg was shouting at the top of his lungs "Don please stop ! You''ll hurt yourselves with all these injuries !" "I WIN... AND W...WILL CONTINUE TO WIN !" "Calm down Don ! He''s lost his consciousness !" "I AM THE STRONGEST !" "Don, we lost." Gin said as he punched Krieg in the stomach, knocking him out completely "Let''s retreat for today and start anew. Sanji, Ruri, Thank you for everything." "Yeah... please don''t come again." Sanji said as he lit a cigarette "No problem Gin, It was my pleasure." "Hey ! What''re you planning to do by tzking the very man who tried to kill you !" Patty and Carne said in unison "You guys... when he wakes up, could you please pass him a message for me ?" Gin asked us This is it, the moment I was waiting for. The have one chance to get Gin in my crew "Let''s meet again, on the grand Line." "You''re still going to be a pirate ?" "Pshhh, you never learn do you ? "When I think about it there''s nothing else I wanna do. I guess Krieg''s dream became mine at some point." Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings. "Patty, Carne. Give Gin the boat we use to buy supplies." "You wanna give our boat to the guy who tried to kill us ?! Are you retarded ?!" They both yelled as they searched for it Patty and Carne came back with the noat and the krieg''s pirate all got in, Gin was the last as he dropped Krieg, he was about to get in "Hey Gin." I called out to him, "if you plan on going to the Grand Line, why not come with me ?" "Huh ? What ?" He turned back to look at me with wide eyes, not sure if he heard correctly what I said or if he hallucinated "You said you wanna go to the Grand Line. Then why not come with me ? I plan on becoming the Pirate Queen, and I need a crew, will you be a part of it ? Will you be my nakama Gin ?" He looked at me, then back to the Krieg''s pirate, he smiled and kicked away the boat "Sure Donna, I''ll come with you." He turned to the Krieg''s pirate, "you guys take care of Don ! Tell him that we''ll meet again one day !" The Krieg''s pirate cried as they shouted, " COMMANDER GIN ! THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING ! TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF !" Tears fell on the ground "TAKE CARE OF YOURSELVES !" He cried I may have hallucinated, but for a moment, the aura around the Krieg''s pirate became green, before they disappeared in the horizon I put a hand on Gin''s shoulder, "Welcome to the crew Gin." ~Baratie 2nd floor~ The tables were placed sl that everyone had a seat and could eat "Time to eat you bastards !" Patty yelled "Hey, who''s in charge of cooking today ?" "That''d be me !" Patty said "And me." Carne added "Ah, so it''s not something to look forward too huh ?" One of the cook said "Just shut your trap and eat you boiled-brain idiot !" Patty screamed at the cook Everyone laughed Me, Gin and Keita were talking amongst ourselves at the end of the table "So, I guess we should introduce ourselves huh ? I am Naka D. Ruri, 21 years old, a pirate with no bounty as of yet. My dream is to become the Queen of pirates." "Keita Kodou, 20 years old, I ate the storage-storage fruit and I have no bounty. I will become the King of pirates !" He exclaimed We looked at Gin who had a small smile "My turn ? Well, the name''s Gin, 33 years old. Pirate with a 2.7 Million bounty on his head, epitheth is the ''Man-Demon''. As for my dream... I guess it''s more of a goal. I want to never run again, to always face my challenges head on with no cowardly tactics." He said calmly "That''s a great goal, well Gin, I already said it but, welcome to the crew, welcome to the Chain pirates !" "HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO PASS THIS CRAM ?! WHAT IS THIS, PIG FEED ?!" We heard a yell followed with a breaking sound We looked around to see a broken plate and soup everywhere Sanji got up from the ground, "hey. Does human food not suit you, you damn raccoon ?" His voice was trembling Patty snorted, "Ah ! This is pure crap of the highest quality makes me wanna puke. Did you put actual shit in this or what ?" Gin tasted the soup, "what are they saying, it''s the best soup I ever ate." "They want him to go with Luffy and realise his dream, but sanji doewn''t want to leave so they are forcing him by doing this." I explained "Ah. I won''t say a thing then." He nodded Sanji''s face darkened, "I am perfectly confident about my soup, maybe it''s your tongue that''s..." "Yuck !" Carne spat out something, "No way we can eat this filth ! It''s terrible ! Threw it ! "THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU''RE ALL DOING !" Sanji yelled in anger "You being the assistant head was always just a sham. Just because you''ve been here he longest." Patty said "I''m sick of your violent ways." Another cook said "If something taste bad then it''s right to say it''s bad." "What did you..." Sanji growled Another plate crashed "OWNER ZEFF !" (told you it was a running gag) "Geezer !" "What''s with this disgusting soup ? Is it supposed to taske like sludge or what ?" Sanji walked to Zeff and grabbed by the collar, "What are you saying you damn geezer ! How is it different from your soup ?" "My soup ?", Zeff punched Sanji on the face, "don''t get too cocky !" "The owner punched him ?" "It''s a hundred years too early for you to compare our food little eggplant. I''ve cooked all around the world." "He didn''t kick him but punched him instead ?" Sanji and Zeff glared at each other before Sanji got up and slammed the down as he got out "This soup is pretty good of you ask me." Luffy said as he drank an entire bowl "...Yeah we know." "Whew that was scary." "Everyone here knows how good Sanji''s cooking is." "But if we didn''t do that he would''ve never listened to us. Hey kid could you take the lil eggplant with you on Grand Line ? It''s his dream." "Jeez, it was more trouble than it''s worth Owner Zeff." "Yeah it was hard to play along." "Hey leave me some of the soup !" "For me too !" Soon enough everyone actuzlly ate Sanji''s soup "Take sanji along... don''t wanna." Luffy said "WHAAAAA ?!" All the cooks yelled "What''s the meaning of this ? Didn''t you want to take gim with you before ? Are you not satisfied with him ?" "Nah it''s not like that." Luffy denied as he ate more food, "I do want him to come with me but he said he wants to stay here and be a cook. So even you tell me to take him I won''t do it." "So you won''t accept him until he ask you himself ?" "Yup. More soup please." Luffy extended his bowl towards Zeff Zeff took it and gave him another serving, "well you do have a point but the lil eggplant will never ask you himself." "Yeah, it''s impossible. He''s too hard headed for his own good." Patty said "AAAAAAAAAGH !" A shark crashed into the room breaking the wall in the process and crushing Sanji "Sanji !" Everyone said "What''s this a fishman ?" "Did he come all the way here to try our cooking." "Ah, Gin. Meet Yosaku, one of our nakama." "Gin just gave an unimpressed stare, "This idiot." It wasn''t even a question, it was a statement "He look like an idiot, but you wouldn''t even be able to hit him if you tried." He looked at my smiling face, then at yosaku who was talking with Luffy while inside a shark''s mouth, then back at me. His unimpressed stare never leaving his face Keita was trying very hard not to laugh at Yosaku''s situation "Ah, why are you inside a shark ?" Luffy asked "YOU JUST NOTICED ?!" Everyone screamed, us included After helping Yosaku out of the panda shark he explained that he needed our help because where Nami was headed is a very dangerous place "Ok. I don''t know what''s going on but let''s go." "Wait." Sanji stopped Luffy, "I''ll come with you." "Sanji ?" Everyone was stunned "I''ll accompany you on your way to become the pirate king, after all we both have crazy dreams. I''ll be the cook for your ship. Sounds good ?" He said Luffy threw his arms in the air, "Sounds great !" We made our goobye and left Sanji to talk with the cooks Once outside and close to the water I looked at keita, "bring it out please." He nodded, "Storage-storage open !" A medium sized black hole appeared and came out a small boat, it was large enough to fit up to 5 people "I present to you the Captain''s personal boat ! Works only with her powers and can go as fast as a cannonball. Everyone hop in." I took the commands, I had to turn my legs into chainsaws and planted them in small holes in the boat. (Imagine ace''s personal boat just larger so that it can fit 3 people) Everyone sat and we waited for the Luffy and Sanji to be ready "Thank you for everything owner Zeff ! I''m eternally grateful that you took care of me for all these years, I''ll never forget the debt I owe you !" "God dammit we''re gonna be really lonely without you !" Patty said "Really lonely you hear us ?!" Carne added At this point everyone was crying, "LET''S MEET AGAIN YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING BASTARDS !" Sanji shouted "Alright set sail !" Luffy shouted and we left towards cocoyasi village Chapter 10 We made our way towards cocyasi island, Yosaku cried the whole way from Sanji''s departure Then he decided to give us a lesson about the Grand Line "It''s called the pirates graveyard for the 3 powers that rule over it." He took a breath and started talking, what he said shocked me beyond anything "The first one are the 9 Warlord of the seas, although only 8 spots are currently taken seeing as the last one got killed by an unknown group. They are pirate who have been recognized and authorized by the world governement. As long as they give a part of their treasure, they are free to do anything they want. In fact Mihawk is one of them !" I looked at Keita, a chill running down my spine as he said phantom words to me, ''isn''t it entertaining ?'' I could hear him say the biggest shit-eating grin on his face "There are seven of them ?! Those warlord guys are amazing !" Luffy was jumping up and down, his eyes wide "The problem is, another of the warlord, a fishman named Jinbe, as a requirement to join the warlord, let loose a monster in east blue. His name is Arlong." Yosaku said grimly "Like this ?" Luffy, who totally ignored him showed an horrible sketch of a fish with human limbs "That''s one ugly fish !" Sanji said, crying tears from the horrible drawing "Someone just kill this abomination, it has already suffered enough." I deadpanned "I must say. This drawing is actually good, I''m pretty sure you could use it as a torture tool." Gin added "Whatever. I''ll skip the history for now. Just know that the place we are headed towards is named ''Arlong park'' and Arlong was a fishman in jinbe''s crew ! He is a monster that coult eat 10 Don Krieg for breakfast !" "You came back to Baratie before catching up to Nami didn''t you ? Are you sure she''s headed there ?" Sanji asked "Nami was staring at Arlong''s bounty. And right as we said that he was wreaking havoc again she took off with the treasure." "How about this ?" Luffy showed his previous fish standing up "It''s the same fish standing up. But talking about fishmen, I wonder if Nami is actually a Mermaid ? That would explain her beauty." Sanji was lost in his own mind, his eyes turned into hearts "Like this ?" Luffy showed the same fish with a wig "Kill it with fire !" I screamed as Sanji lunged at Luffy screaming "you''re dead meat !" After the drawing was exterminated, Luffy saved from Sanji''s wrath and Yosaku giving up talking sense into Luffy and Sanji, we ate Sanji''s food (which is to say, the best food ever.) "Too bad you''re in Luffy''s crew. I would''ve snatched you for myself otherwise." I said sadly "Milady, I would chose you over this idiot any day." Sanji said as he kissed my hand "Hey, Ruri ! Stop taking my nakama !" Luffy yelled indignantly "Not my fault ! Sorry Sanji but I already have too many men in my crew, alas fate will take us apart." I said as I faked tears I could get used to this, the funny antics of everyone and the thrill of a good battle Too bad I knew that at this point in time, Nami was within Arlong''s reach. And that she hit a kid who was going to kill himself. And that Zoro was going to get captured. It killed my mood For a second, a memoy Johnny being chased by a fishman came to my mind, let''s prat Johnny doesn''t stupid himself to death ~Meanwhile with johnny~ Johnny sneezed and looked around, he sighed and dropped on the ground "May you escape, brother Usopp." He said, hidden behind a house to get back his breath As a matter of fact, running through and entire village to escape a fishman who wants your head is quite tiring He may have trained in the art of Haki and became able to predict how people wants to kill him, but he is not stupid enough to think he can take on a fishmen twice his size So he just praise to whatever god could be listening that Usopp lives Somewhere on the way to cocoyasi, Keita suddenly sneezed ''someone must want benediction, too bad I''m on vacation.'' He smirked as he ate another piece of meat ~Back to Ruri-chwaaan~ The water shook around us as bubble popped on the surface A giant sea cow appeared and sniffed the air, looking quite confused at the sight of our small boat "AH IT''S A SEA MONSTER !" Yosaku shouted, crying The cow kept sniffing and approached our two boats "A cow ? It''s so big !" Luffy exclaimed "A cow that swim ? Isn''t that just a hippo ?" Sanji questionned "It looks really cute though." I added truthfully "It looks dumb." Gin just said "THIS IS A GRAND LINE MONSTER !" Yosaku yelled, the cow looked at the food "IT WANTS THE FOOD GIVE IT TO HIM !" "Gumo Gumo no Pistol !" Luffy punched the cow in the face, blood flew from it''s mouth as it hit the water "Don''t touch my food !" Sanji kicked Luffy and tried to feed the cow, who came back pissed, just to kick it as it was about to eat him "It tried to eat my arm too." The cow just became more pissed and tried to destroy out ships, key word being tried as Keita pointed his wrist cannon and shot it in the face We went back to eating Poor cow ~With the others~ Zoro ~ "We''re here nyu ! This is cocoyasi village, Arlong should be here somewhere around here !" A fishman with six arm said "Alright thanks for the ride." Zoro said "Don''t mention it ! Come back again !" The poulp man said as he swam in the direction of Arlong park "Now let''s find Long nose first." ~Usopp~ "Chu ! I finally caught him chu ! Thought you would like to kill him yourself chu !" Said a fishman as he held a bloody Usopp by the neck, "What happened here Chu ?!" He half yelled when he saw dead fishmens everywhere ''Was it Zoro ?'' Usopp thought "That pipsqueak ain''t enough to satisfy my rage right now..." Arlong growled Usopp tried to convince Arlong to let him go, but it didn''t work Nami appeared when the fishmen started saying she was betraying them ''Help me !!!!'' Usopp Whined in his mind ~Ruri~ After beating up the cow, Luffy decided to pull a Luffy and made it pull out boats to Arlong Park "FASTER FASTER ! FULL SPEED TO ARLONG PARK !" He shouted ~With Johnny Bro~ "SHAHAHAHAHA ! AN EXCELLENT REVENGE INDEED !" Arlong yelled as he laughed "That''s an Arlong pirate crew officer for ya Nyu !" The Octopus said "A-Ahhhhhh, this is bad ! Brother Usopp..." ~Back to Ruri~ "I can see Arlong park !" I shouted at everyone, they barely heard what i said as the cow dragged us full speed The cow started going off the direction, and despite Sanji and Lufy yelling at it, it crashed into a wall and sent both our boats flying "Keita ! My boat !" Keita nodded when I screamed and he opened his pocket dimension, he absorbed my boat before we crashed on the ground This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. "Ow, the landing could''ve been better." I groaned and I heard several groan that sounded like ''yes'' "THE HEEL DO YOU THINK YOU''RE DOING ?!" Zoro, who was right next to where the boat landed roared furiously at us "Huh ? We''ve come to get Nami back of course." Luffy said as he got up, ignoring the fact we flew in the air and crashed like ragdolls, "Where''s Usopp and Johnny ?" "Hey you alright ?" Sanji asked Yosaku, who was currently stuck in wreckage of the boat, his legs hanging in the air, twitching "Sanji help me pull out this idiot." With a ''Yes Ruri-chwaaan'' we pulled out Yosaku while Zoro was explaining to us what happened while we we''re on our way and that usopp was caught by the fishmens "We need to hurry before he gets kil-" "It''s already too late !" Zoro was cut off by Johnny, "BROTHER USOPP WAS KILLED BY NAMI !" He yelled "Huh ?!" Everyone said Of course this didn''t go well with Luffy who punched Johny and grabbed him by the collar And of course this didn''t go well with me since he was punching my crewmate "I would be thankful if you dropped Johnny Luffy." I said as I put my leg next to his neck, fully transformed "He''s Lying ! Nami would never kill usopp we''re crewmates !" He screamed at me "Who''s your crewmate ?" A voice called out from behind us "Nami..." "What did you come on this island for ?" "Huh what''re you talking about ? We''ve come for you of course ! Aren''t we crewmates ?" Luffy said as he let go of Johnny''s shirt "Don''t make me laugh, ''we''re crewmates!'' It was just a stupid little cooperation." "Nami ! Don''t you remember me ? Let''s set sail together !" Sanji said, his love mode working full time "Shut up can''t you see you''re making things more difficult ?!" "You got a problem you shitty Marimo ?" "Enough with the peanut galery." I punched the both of them "Yes Ruri-chwaaan !" "You got a problem Lousy queen ?!" "Don''t talk to a girl like that sword for brains !" Sanji yelled at zoro and they went back to fighting, I just sighed "Lost cause from the start." I grumbled Johnny went on about how he saw her stab Usopp and that she was a witch who would do anything for money "I don''t care about that. Where''s Usopp ?" Zoro asked Nami "At the bottom of the ocean." She didn''t look at him "THAT''S IT ! I''VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU !" Zoro drew his swords and charged at Nami "AND I''VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU !" Sanji got in his way and tried to kick him They got into another fight "It''s been what ? 10 minutes ? How many fight did they get in ?" I asked to myself "Three fight." Gin replied looking at them with a flat face "They are so hopeless." "FINE DO WHATEVER YOU WANT ! YOU CAN DIE FOR ALL I CARE !" Nami screamed and stormed back from where she came from We stayed here, waiting for something to happen I guess At some point Sanji and Zoro started fighting again And they crushed Usopp''s head in between their attack "Ah, he''s alive." Gin said "Probably not anymore though." Keita added "BROTHER USOPP !" Yosaku and Johnny yelled in unison The yelling woke Luffy up who noticed Usopp, " Ah Usopp ! Did Nami do this to you ?!" He asked in panic "Ah no, it was actually us." Sanji said "You mean just you." Zoro retorted "You''re as guilty Zoro, his head got crushed on your sword." I pointed out, earning me a glare from zoro Messing with him is so fun "Ah Luffy ! You''re here too ?!" "Yup." "I decided to come too, nice to meet you." Sanji said with a smile, as if he never kikced Usopp Usopp mumbled about killing him before remembering what he came here for "Nami''s in trouble ! She saved my life, if you ask me there must be a reason why she joined Arlong." "It''s useless. No matter what you do, you can''t go against Arlong." A new voice said It seems ridiculous no ? This road has so many plot people walking on it in the same hour "Ah, Nojiko." Usopp "Who''s she ?" Luffy "Nami''s sister." Usopp "Nami''s sister ?! No wonder why she looks so beautiful !" Do I really have to say ? "What do you mean useless ?" Zoro "You tell her Brother Zoro !" Guess who ? Gin, keita and I just stayed silent "Please don''t involve yourself with this village any further. I''ll tell you hiw thingd got this way and you¡¯ll leave after got it ?" "I''m fine. I don''t care about her past, I''ll go take a walk." Luffy left "... what''s with him ?" "Don''t worry about it. It''s just the kind of guy he is. We''ll listen to you though." Zoro said and started snoring the next moment Everyone sweatdropped "Well I''ll listen to you." Usopp said after an awkard silence "Me too." Sanji added, a goofy smile on his face "It''s a wonder you guys didn''t die yet with this kind of attitude." I said flatly and Keita smirked "No wonder they''re giving nami so much trouble." Nojiko sighed Then she started explaining the story of nami, about how a Marine named bellemere found them both in a battlefield, how she raised, when the Arlong pirates arrived and how they killed anyone who couldn''t pay their price, and of course how bellemere sacrificed herself to make sure Nami and herself lived. That they took Nami with them and that she became an Arlong pirates. "It''s been like this since she was 10 years old, fighting alone to make sure no one else died. Fo you know how hard it was for her during those 8 years ?" "She forced herself to become a pirate to save her village..." "I''ll fucking kill those pirates ! How dae they do this to Nami ?!" "WAAAAH ! SISTER NAMI IS SO STRONG !" Yosaku and Johnny were crying their eyes out You know, it''s different to read about Nami''s story and hear it for yourself, it''s not the same I spent something like 2 weeks with her on the seas, talking and laughing being beaten up when I did something stupid or fought with the shitty marimo as Sanji calls Zoro "Guys, let''s go." I said Keita got up and plunged his arms in his storage, when he got them out the wristcannons were gone, in their place were another pair, with 3 different cannon, all above he also had iron gauntlets with a blade under. He did the same with his legs and he had iron boots with some mechanism. "I''m ready." "Finally I never thought you would say that Donna." Gin grinned "WE''RE BEHIND YOU BIG SISTER RURI !" "Where are you guys going ?!" Nojiko called out to us "Say our greetings to Arlong. After all, isn''t he the kind around here ? It would be rude not to greet him." I said with a smile "Didn''t you listen to what I said ?! He''ll just kill all of you !" She yelled at us "Pfff, he''s just an overgrown fish. He won''t be able to shit to me, you can come wath if you want." I shrugged We walked towards Arlong park time to greet the fish
