Author's Note: This is an OC Story as already stated. There are some references to the Straw Hats though. Now then. This story follows after The Meddler's Way, BUT, you don't need to read that as you probably don't want to go through 100+ chapter and then some, right? Also, some of the OCs in this story belong to my Sis and I have her permission to use them. :P Enjoy!

Chapter 1- Enter Rune

The seas were quiet as a council of the kings was in session. "Pirates still roam freely while the Marines have yet to stop them! Not only that, but the Marines themselves have suffered a huge loss recently of two Admirals, some Shichibukai, and soldiers. The Marines are now down to a single Admiral! Who is he going to protect this world against the villainy of pirates?" One king shouted and Cobra snapped back.

"Even one person can make a difference!" The doors to the council slammed open and the kings looked over their guest. "I like what you just said there, King of Alabasta." The person said as he walked towards the council and stopped at the end of the table.

"You're…!" Cobra said in surprise as the person tossed several pieces of paper down on the table. "These are the highest ranking pirates. Whitebeard, Dragon, Shanks, and some other lesser-known ones are there. Now recently there was one upset with a pirate known as Monkey D. Luffy. That has yet to be settled though." The person said while pushing his glasses up and pushing Luffy's wanted poster forward.

Cobra slowly sat back down and nodded, as more wanted posters were tossed onto the table.

"This is every pirate with a bounty over 200 Million before I resumed control of my Navy. There are a total of 113 of them. However, now…" The man trailed off as he flicked his finger and several posters suddenly blew away till only a few were left.

"This is all that remains. See, kings? Cobra is correct. One person, myself, can make a difference." The man said while holding his arms out with a grin. Some kings muttered to others as they all stared at the man. "Just who exactly are you?" One king asked before eyeing the wanted posters left. The man pushed his glasses up before chuckling.

"I am the one you should thank for your throne. All of you." He said and Cobra clenched his fists till his knuckles turned white as he stared at Luffy's wanted poster.

"There are a total of 15 head pirates remaining. It would have been 16, but one thankfully died a while ago on Call's Island. I tell you know, kings. Soon, there shall be none. As for who I am. Let me make it clear. I am the foundation of the Marines, their creator and their savior. I am Angel Neworld. This whole world's savior from pirates." Angel said and he waved his hand before the remaining 15 posters flew off the table and out into the light.

Out on the open seas, a Marine warship steered towards its destination with haste. "Attention, men!" The captain of the warship shouted and all the Marines stopped and saluted.

"I have just received word of a dangerous pirate in this area! We are to engage the pirates and capture them dead or alive!" The captain shouted and the soldiers said nothing as they continued saluting. "The pirate in question is one of the rare female pirates! With her are seven other dangerous pirates for a total of eight! I know many of you would rather fight the Calm Belt than this, but it is what we must do to protect the safety of this world!" The captain shouted and then saluted his crew.

The captain picked up a wanted poster and stared at it while shaking silently. "A-Anyway! This is she!" The captain shouted and the soldiers all came up closer to see the beauty that they were envisioning. Three minutes of dead silence later…

"FLAT-CHESTED!"

The sound of someone falling down stairs reached the ears of a silver haired man in his cabin, and he poked his head out on deck to see a black haired girl face down in front of the stairs.

"Did you trip on your own feet?" He asked apathetically and the girl glared at him. "I sneezed, Grandes." She said and the silver haired man sighed sadly.

"I have no medicine for sneezing or stupidity." He said before hearing another crash. "If I did, I wouldn't be hearing that…" He grumbled before going back to his room while the girl stood up and rubbed her nose while looking over to the new hole in the deck below the mast of the small ship.

"You okay, Zephyr?" She asked down the hole, and a purple haired guy poked his head out quickly while blood rolled down his face.

"I'm okay!" He said with a grin and the girl nodded before rubbing her lip. "You have some blood right there." She said and Zephyr quickly rubbed his lip of the blood.

The girl looked at the rest of the blood on Zephyr's face and sighed. "Yeah, you got it." She said before straightening up as Zephyr climbed out of the new hole.

"We need a carpenter like Franky around." Zephyr grumbled and the girl sighed. "Well, too bad! Now get the wood to cover your hole up!"

"Yes, sir…" Zephyr muttered before walking off for the spare wood. A giggled reached the girl's ear and she looked over to see an orange haired girl giggling at her. "You get so steamy sometimes." She said and the black haired girl grimaced slightly.

"I wouldn't if you guys would do your jobs right, Lock." She said and Lock smiled before fixing her tight shirt. "It's not lunch yet." She said and a smaller head poked out from behind the mast.

"Lunch?" The little long brown haired girl asked and Lock nodded. "Soon, Marisa."

"Yay!" The black haired girl sighed before rubbing her right eye that gleamed like blood while her other eye was golden like a cat's. "Sometimes we must control our anger to complete the task." A calm voice said and the girl turned her head to see a large man carrying wood over.

"Zephyr's too lazy to bring it out himself, Gladstone?" Marisa asked happily and Gladstone nodded. "Excuse me, little one." She said and Marisa moved away as Gladstone got to work patching up the hole.

The black haired girl watched her crew silently before groaning loudly. "Isn't there anyone doing their jobs?" She asked and someone poked her in the back. "Unlike you clowns, I can't slack off navigating." A young green haired boy said with a cold stare.

The girl nodded with a smile to the boy. "And we all thank you for it, Dylan." She said and Dylan huffed. "It's my job. No need for praise." He said before returning to the helm and the girl glared after him.

"What a ball of sunshine he is." Another person said happily and the black haired girl shot him an even greater glare.

"You. Are. The. Greatest. Slacker. Here. Roland!" She snapped and with each word stomped over to him. "Aw, thanks, Captain! Always nice, aren't you?" He said and the girl glowered at him before putting her hand over her face.

"What is wrong with you all? If Takai was here you'd…" The girl trailed off and everyone went silent as the girl lowered her hand off her face and looked away. "Never mind…" She whispered until Roland perked up and smiled.

"Hey, Captain. We have visitors." He said while pointing off towards the water and the girl slowly looked before seeing the Marine warship. "Attention, pirates!" A voice boomed over to them, and the girl blinked a few times. "We are here to capture you! Surrender now or face our w-wrath!" The captain shouted the girl sighed.

"How pitiful." She muttered and the captain and his crew noticed the black haired girl.

"IT'S THE FLAT-CHESTED DEMON!"

The whole ocean went silent as the black haired girl's crew quickly disappeared into Grandes's room. Grandes was not happy as he was pushed into the corner of his small room as the rest of the crew piled in.

The black haired girl's lip twitched and her right eye twitched along with it. "Who…" She started to say as she rolled her hands into fists. "Are you…" The Marines all stepped back slightly as they felt scared. "Calling…" She said before raising her head and glaring at the Marines with her two different colored eyes. "FLAT-CHESTED!?" She shouted and the Marines all screamed before their warship suddenly blew up and the girl seethed angrily as pieces of the warship flew in every direction.

Her crew poked out of Grandes's room, and was then brutally kicked out by Grandes himself. The door slammed behind them and they all stared at the girl in fright. "I like my chest, okay? What's wrong with it being f-flat?!" The girl snapped angrily and Lock smiled nervously before slowly walking over to the girl and patting her on her back.

"A-Are you okay?" She said nervously and the girl turned her head to Lock to show rivers of tears falling down her cheeks. "Those jerks were making fun of my growth problem!" The girl said while crying and Lock patted her head slowly while the girl hugged Lock.

"There, there." Lock said repeatedly as the rest of the crew sighed in relief. "Those Marines should be lucky to just get blown up." Gladstone said sadly and Dylan nodded along with Marisa.

"I'd have to agree with the Marines though. The bigger the boobs, the better the girl! Like Lock!" Roland and Zephyr said and were then kicked over the side of the ship by a blur of two legs.

The remaining crew sighed sadly and Roland splashed around frantically while Zephyr tried to keep him afloat. The girl and Lock glared angrily after the two they had kicked off the ship.

"You know, even though they have completely opposite chest, those two are a lot alike." Dylan muttered under his breath, and Gladstone sweated nervously. "Shh, she might hear you!" He whispered and Dylan clamped his mouth shut as the black haired girl slowly turned to them.

"Do you three have any comments on my chest too?" She asked and they quickly shook their heads. "No, Rune. Please don't kick us off the ship. We can't swim." They said in unison and Lock giggled while watching Zephyr and Roland flounder down in the water.

Rune pouted before crossing her arms over her flat chest. "That's good." She said and Dylan grimaced slightly.

"It's hard to tell whether Rune's really a girl though at times."

"Shh, she'll hear!"

The Marine captain clung to a piece of his warship that still floated. "Damn… That girl really is flat-chested… and dangerous." He said before taking Rune's wanted poster out and staring at it.

"No wonder she's the pirate world's leading lady." He muttered before letting go of the wanted poster and letting it land on the ocean with Rune's picture gleaming in the sun.

Angel smiled as he sat at the head of the table the kings were sitting around. "What do you want from us, phantom?" One king asked and Angel looked over at the king.

"Out of the 15 remaining heads, there are a group of 8 of them that I want neutralized as soon as possible. The other 7 don't matter now." Angel stated and Cobra raised an eyebrow.

"Are you telling us that they are more important than the capture of Whitebeard, Shanks, Dragon, and Straw Hat?" He asked and Angel nodded calmly. "This group is ordered by the fastest person in the world. This girl is barely older than your daughter, Cobra. Not to mention this girl isn't entirely… human. She possesses the largest bounty of any female pirate, and will be terribly hard to capture." Angel stated while looking at Rune's wanted poster in his hand.

"She is your prime target. Capture her, and other pirates will much easier to stop." Angel added before taking one of the other kings' cup of water and drinking from it.

"I don't need to remind you all of the gravity of this session. Reason alone is not enough. You must be merciless. That is all, dismissed." Angel said calmly with a wave of his hand and the kings' seats suddenly lurched backwards with every king fell to the floor.

Angel watched amusedly as the kings left while muttering in pain. "You want answers, little girl? Come get them." He said before throwing the wanted poster out the window and watching it float away before it disappeared from sight.
