'Oy brats get your assis back heaer,' a very angry shopkeeper rored as three boys ranran down the main street. the youngest was 7 years old he was 4 ft tall wearing a yellow tanktop and blue shorts with blond hair and a tan. The next was 8 years old he was 3'9 ft tall wearing a black tank top and dark blue shorts he had black hair and was very pale. The last one was 9 years old he was 4'4 ft tall wearing a green tank top and green shorts with dark green hair and a tan.

'You know Herman would of probably just given us the money for the jerky right,' Kibo a said dodging a knife.

'Hey i'm not the one who stole it i hate jeky,' Jikan said as a frying pan barely missed him.

'how dare you jerky is the food of the gods plus paying is boring nothing beats the thrill of the chase,' Tovo said grabbing a knife out of the air and throwing it back landing in between the toes of the shopkeeper stopping the now scared man.

As the three boys round a corner they run into two figures one a small girl about 6 with her brown hair in a ponytail wearing a black sundress. The other a boy who fit in with the other boys clothing only in all blue he was 8 years and a giant at 4'8 but a snake was coiled around his neck.

'Oy give me Lizz,' Kiba said taking the snake that then wrapped its way around his neck and let out what sounded like a revving engine.

'Calm down man you left her at the base,' the tall boy explained.

'Sorry colton i was afraid i dropped her back in the shop,' the boy explained taking out a small ball that looked like it was made of steel and feed it to the snake.

'Why is it that every time i take y eyes off of you three you end up in trouble,' came a voice from behind them.

The man that had spoken was 6'8ft with a bulky build in a pair of shorts and tool belt the most notable thing about him was the blue scaly skin and fin on his back this was Herman Melville the main caretaker of the boys standing in front of him.

'Oy it was this physico who stole the jerky he just took me and kibo down with him,' the pale boy explained.

'Nensho i don't care if Tovo stole it you attacked the shopkeeper,'Herman Said hitting Nensho with a hammer.

'Ow, I only hit him because he cald Tovo a freak, Tovo is not a freak he's a genius,' Nensho said grabbing the jerky from Tovo and eating it.

'hawhawhawhawhawhaw why do i bother come on you three an old friend of mine is coming and you can play out at the docks while me and him catch up,' Herman said walking to the docks.

A ship that looked like a white whale rose up from the ocean. it was severely damaged and had a tall old man standing on the bow as it docked Herman started yelling at the old man.

'what the hell did you do to the moby dick do you know how long it'll take to fix this,' Herman yelled as the old man got off the ship and stood next to Herman laughing.

'Guarararara calm down it's better than it looks, just got in a little scuffle with this up and coming pirate named shanks he was pretty strong,' the elderly man explained.

'fine how are you paying,' Herman asked.

'Well I don't have anything on me but you know i'm good for it,' the older man answered.

Herman just looked at him.

'fine what about a devil fruit we picked one up a few weeks ago and no one wanted it you could sell it,' the eldery man offered,'

'That could work but if you ever try to get out of paying me i'll kick your ass Edward ,' Herman agreed.

'Guarararara hear now we can catch up, and how many times do i have to tell you call me white beard,' white beard said giving Herman a blue apple with purple swirls.

The two men went to Herman's office to catch up leaving the devil fruit on the kitchen counter.

A few minutes later the 5 children came in from playing to get a snack. Nensho didn't pay attention and grabbed the devil fruit and took a bite.

'Oh god that tastes horrible,' Nensho said and started coughing it got worse and worse until he fell over.

Colton did the first thing he thought of he ran and got his dad (1).
