Hey guys I know I've been gone forever but a lot of stuff came up I got robbed, joined the army whole bunch of shit but I'm back with a new story hope you like it. I don't own anything outside of my ocs and story.
It was a warm cloudy day in the new world, and a fortified marine ship is making its way across the ocean. The ship had recently picked up a high priority prisoner. The deck had a vast number of marines guarding the ship. Two marines while watching the port side begin to talk. "Who do you think this high priority prisoner we're transferring to Impel down is?" ask the young marine. "I didn't get a good look at him but, from what I heard from the other marines they said that the prisoner is from the revolutionary army." Said the marine petty officer. "HE'S FROM THE REVOLU-" yelled the young marine before the other marine covered his mouth. "Are trying to get us in trouble? The information I told you was top secret even I wasn't supposed to know that. Don't tell anyone of what I said. Got that recruit?" Said the petty officer with a stressed tone. "Y-Yes sir." Said the marine recruit.
The young marine continues to guard the port side when he notices clouds beginning to form into a storm. He turns to his superior begins to yell "Captain! There looks to be a storm rolling in! Port side!" The experienced captain said with a condescending tone "Yes I can obviously see the giant storm heading towards us from the port side." The captain then begins to yell his order "Helmsman! Steer the ship starboard and dock at the nearest island and where we should wait until the storm passes!" The ship made a starboard turn towards the nearest island and suddenly was bombarded by cannon fire. The dazed captain tried to regain his balance by leaning on the edge of the rocking ship. "What was that?! What hit us?!" The captain cried out. "We don't know sir! There's no ship in sight!" one of the marines replied but, before the captain could give out any other order. A massive warship came crashing down into the water next to them. The impact of the massive ship crashing into the ocean created a colossal wave washing most of the marines on deck out into the sea.
"Did that ship came from-?!" Before the captain had a chance to react, a very tall but, muscular man began running across the air effortlessly from the massive ship to the marine prison ship. The young man picked up enough momentum and began to spin creating a blade of air from his leg splitting the mast in half. "Sir! Our mast was spit in half by a tall unknown figure!" One of the remaining marines shouts out. "Ready all cannons and return fir-!" Before the crew could return fire, the massive ship fired chained hooks damaging the marine ship. The chains started to pull the marine ship in closer to the massive ship, once the ship was close enough men began jumping onto the marine ship with their weapons drawn attacking any remaining marines on deck. With the surprise attack undergoing, the marines tried there best to fend off the unknown invaders.
The captain regains his senses and realized that the invaders were pirates. The captain immediately tried to rally his men immense the chaos but, before he could get a firm grasp on his weapon to do so, the tall muscular man jumped from nowhere startling the captain. "Woah, Woah, Woah their buddy I wouldn't do that if I was you." The mysterious man said with a huge grin on his face. The captain tried to unsheathe his saber but, the man immediately slammed his knee into his stomach causing him to tumble over. The man with a huge grin was a tall, dark-skinned man with a muscular frame. The tall man hoisted the captain up and pressed him up on the wheel of the ship.
"Now their captain whatever your name is. You have a friend of mine that is currently locked up below deck so, be a good lad and give me the key before I break the rest of your ribs. Hmm?".
"Why would I give a pirate like you the keys? I'd rather die before giv-!" The captain was interrupted by the mysterious tall man. "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah I heard that same boring speech a thousand times before. I'd rather die blah, blah… Blah!" the man kneed the stubborn captain in the gut. "I'm a genuinely happy guy captain whatever your name is but, you don't want to be that guy that makes me frown. Do you? Now, would you be a good lad and give me the keys?" The captain reluctantly handed him the keys, the muscularly framed man chuckled and dropped the captain "Good man!" As soon as the tall pirate walked away the captain mumbled under his breath "Damn you, pirates…" The pirate went down to the lower decks where he saw a tanned young man shackled in chains.
The shackled man looked up with a tired look on his face. "Took you long enough Benjamin…" The young pirate said as he begins to stretch, yawn, and rub his eyes. "Well, it took me a while to track you down since I got lost," Benjamin said chuckling. "Go on little buddy let Adom free". A little monkey climbed down from his shoulder taking the key from Benjamin and began undoing the locks setting Adom free. Once he was freed from his prison, Adom dusts himself off. "So, my question is. How did you get captured?" Benjamin asked. "I took a nap and awoke shackled to chains in a cell. So I just assumed I was captured I guess. They also didn't have mangos so that sucked." Adom said with a stoic tone shrugging his shoulders. Benjamin chuckled and said, "Good thing I found this shitty fruit that you love so much. You must've been starving from not eating the crappy marine food they cook."
Ben reached into his coat pocket and handed him a slightly bruised mango.
Adom reached for the mango taking it from his hand and gave him a smirk "Aww captain you know should know I'm a taken man." Adom said jokingly before taking a huge bite out of his mango.
Ben and Adom made their way back to the deck of the ship where the marines had been defeated and tied together, the pirates were laughing and mocking the marines calling them weak and a pathetic excuse for sailors.
The defeated captain looked up in terror "I know who you are now! You're the infamous pirate, the disgraced navy captain! The mad man Benjamin Hightower! I heard you had tremendous potential to become a vice admiral but, now you're just another damn dirty pirate!" The marine captain said as he grits his teeth and pulled against the ropes tying him to a few his crewmates. Benjamin smirked. "Oh, come on now! You forgot about my other titles like Dragon's mad dog, The sky admiral, and Captain of the mighty Jester Pirates!" Benjamin said with pride.
The Jester Pirates laughed and cheered. "I hope you know you won't get away with this! The World Government will send more ships after you! Even a vice admiral too! You'll hang for your crimes you hear me!" The captain screamed. Ben smiled and replied "Send all the ships, soldiers, and hell even admirals you want. We'll keep knocking all of you down every time. But, whatever I won't worry about it much. Since I'm such a nice captain, I'll leave you all with a little parting gift." Ben gave a gesture to two of his men.
The two men came rolling in a large barrel with a fuse sticking out of the top. Ben grabbed a cigarette from out his coat pocket and put it in his mouth. "Mojo. Would you kindly?" The monkey on his shoulder jumped down with a lighter in hand and lit the fuse. Mojo scurried back onto his owner's shoulder to light his cigarette. "Thank you, Mojo," Benjamin said as he pats his head before climbing onto a dingy and sailing back towards his ship with his crew.
The marines began to curse and cry as the Jester Pirates watch from their ship. The fuse grew shorter and shorter until a loud explosion rocked them. The marines were shocked, wondering why they weren't blown to bits until they realized that they and the entire deck of their ship was covered in a variety of colors that's makeup, paint, and garbage. The Jester Pirates laughed and made faces at the shocked. The marines began to curse and yell again. "Alrighty, boys! Let's get her up!" Ben yelled as the men began cranking dials and pulling ropes. The mast began to get pulled down and a large balloon began to raise up.
The crewmembers began to crank and pump until the balloon was filled and lifted out of the water.
The marines were stunned by what they had seen. "T-They have a flying ship?!" The captain said as the color drained away from his face. The ship began to fly away. "A job well done if I say so myself!" Benjamin said laughing loudly.
"Captain, didn't we talked about that stupid sky admiral thing a while back? You can't be sky admiral if only one of our ships can fly idiot." Adom said while eating his third mango. Ben got upset and replied. "Hey, screw you! It sounds badass plus it gets people frightened from hearing the name. Think about it." Adom gave Benjamin his usual stoic look and simply replied "No." but before they could argue Ben's transponder snail went off. One of the deckhands grabbed it and answered the snail. The deckhand started scribbling something down on a piece of paper and hung up. The deckhand immediately ran over to Benjamin handing him the piece of paper.
"Captain! It's from the chief and it sounds like he needs our help!" The jester deckhand said. Ben looked at the paper and begins to give his order. "All hands-on-deck! Prepare for battle!" Benjamin said before laughing loudly.
