Hey everybody!
I'm doing Round 1 of 30_onepiece's challenge! Again! Because I'm masochistic. Obviously. -_-'
My claim this time around is *drum roll please*…SILVERS RAYLEIGH!
Going for a Silvers Rayleigh award (for the other two I got Gold Roger awards). I have to get all 30 done by… August 1st, I think… Or maybe it was July 1st. Whatever.
Anyway, unlike the two "Thirty Days" fics, this one isn't all finished, so don't expect one everyday. I'll be putting them up here as I get them done. Right now, I have two finished.
This is a challenge because Rayleigh hasn't been in the series much. But I welcome the challenge! XD
Also, I don't really plan for any RayleighxShakky, but… well, don't be surprised if it pops up.
Title: Golden Age of Piracy
Theme: Beginning
Words: 210
Rating: K
Warnings: One Curse
Notes: This one is fairly self-explanatory. I was wondering why this age was the great age of pirates when Roger was the greatest pirate to ever live. *shrug*
Summary: All the newspapers were calling this the great age of piracy…
Golden Age of Piracy
By Dandy Wonderous
It was in all the newspapers, and of course he himself didn't read them, but Shakky told him about it when he wandered back to the café later. Roger's dying words (and damn if he just had to make a nuisance of himself, even in death) had jump started some sort of piracy boom among the populace.
THE GREAT AGE OF PIRATES BEGINS! screamed the headline. He snorted a sarcastic laugh and pushed the paper away. Shakky said that she thought it looked fun and that she would be following the cute ones. She could have at it, but he had more important things to do than worry about thieves and vandals.
As far as he was concerned, this was no golden age of piracy. The pirate age was full of strong-willed dreamers who cared about their nakama. There were no politics attached, no desire to rule over the other pirates or join with the marines. It wasn't about acquiring gold, land, followers, or fame. It wasn't about who could get the biggest bounty or the largest fleet.
It was about the limitless sea and the total freedom she offered.
As far as Silvers Rayleigh was concerned, the golden age of piracy wasn't beginning. It had already come and gone.
The End
A/N: Yup. That's all.
I'm still trying to get a feel for the characters, so excuse any OOCness.
