The sun began to shine on the beautiful city of New York, its radiant beams reflecting off the glass made the city glow as traffic began to fill up as usual, with everyday people beginning to fill up the streets, hustling and bustling.
To any random person, it would seem like just another ordinary Tuesday.
But to Peter…? Well it certainly wasn't ordinary, as the Oscorp goons smashed his face into the ground, their augmented bodies certainly weren't ordinary, and any 15-year-old getting the snot kicked out him by what were basically super soldiers wasn't usually what someone would call normal.
He had been spiderman for some time now, getting bit by the spider when he was 13 certainly didn't make him an average Queens kid, but he never really wanted to be, he always liked to be different, and ever since he had seen Iron Man or Thor save the day, he knew he wanted to be a superhero.
Of course, no one told him that heroes don't always end up with all of their teeth in, as the Oscorp goons really began to hurt him, his nose all bruised and his baby teeth now completely out, he really wished he hadn't followed up on that lead to investigate Oscorp and its super serum (which he found to be true after getting his ass kicked), he could have been at school, starting the day off with band and ending with gym, like a regular kid.
But no...He was instead getting beaten by some middle-aged balding guy with some funky super serum inside him.
What was that thing Uncle Ben said before he died…? Something about great responsibility? Well, no one told him it would hurt this much! As he groaned in pain after what felt like the 900th head slam into the ground.
"That's enough Clark!" An older man in a suit then said as he walked down a flight of stairs.
His figure was elegant but looming as though it were a demon inside a pair of business clothes, he had grey hair and looked to be in his early 50's, almost like a less handsome Uncle Ben.
The middle-aged guard then brought Peter to an interrogation chair, it's iron bars clamped on his wrists.
For the record, he was strong enough to get them off...But the intensely painful shock that came with struggling quickly warded him away from trying to tear them off.
"Do you know who I am…?" The man said as he approached the boy, his gaze firm on his mask.
"Sure…" Peter responded. "You're Mr. Osborn, owner of Oscorp...And you gave money to some high schools once."
"So you do who I am...Good, now I've introduced myself to you, so it's only polite you introduce yourself to me." The man snarled as he snapped his fingers, prompting a goon to tear off Peter's homemade mask.
Osborn was not expecting a kid, it could have been an old man for all he knew...But some random 15-year-old boy who barely looked like he could be a water boy for a football team? How?!
"A kid?! How the hell did a kid get in here?!" Osborn groaned as he slapped the top of his forehead, leaving a red mark in the shape of his hand.
"Guess your security team just sucks." Peter smiled through broken teeth, prompting Osborn to slap him.
"You're no ordinary kid….No...You're that Spider-Man guy I've heard about aren't you?... You know the spider that bit you actually came from us…Isn't that strange?"
"Guess I'm experienced in breaking and entering into high tech Oscorp labs." Peter grinned again.
Osborn began to chuckle, though not at Peter, more or less at some demented thought in his head.
"The way I see it...You're just a mistake, like a wrong answer on a test...And mistakes have to be erased...if people get the word out about our little project here...Well, I'd be ruined, and I can't have that." Oscorp chuckled as he snapped his fingers, prompting two goons to leave the room for a moment.
"Where are they going?" Peter asked with a scared look as Osborn laughed.
"Getting something fun!" Osborn smiled as Peter looked around in fear.
"That's uh...Not very comforting." He quietly laughed as two goons stood with stoic, unblinking expressions.
The old man then entered the room, two more goons carrying a massive canon shaped object behind him.
"Spider-man….You've been so fortunate to be a living test experiment for us here at Oscorp, so I thought...Might as well put you to work again….This is the mass divider, modeled by our very own Dr. Connor…"
"Okay...And what does it do? Fast math...Because I could use some help with that." Peter said as Osborn rolled his eyes, and continued to monologue.
"You're a really funny kid, ya know that? So funny, I'm sure you'd get with this and just laugh it off...Wanna test it out?"
Osborn's eyes were wild as it seemed like the fiery pits of hell were in his eyes as he spoke, a vicious, animal-like look that seemed to get more and more intense the longer he spoke.
"Clark...I've got some business to attend…." Osborn said checking his wristwatch. "...Make sure our guest gets to feel his molecules being torn from his body." Osborn sneered as he quickly exited the room.
Peter attempted to flee, oh how he struggled, with every little movement receiving voltage levels that could kill a bull shark, he tried everything, from thwiping webs out, to trying to rip the restraints off, all failed as the machine began to charge up, an electrical ball of energy begging to form on the tip of the divider.
"Ah haha...Come on Clark, you wouldn't want to kill the spider-man would you….?" Peter asked with desperation and a voice crack, reminding him of just how scared he was to die.
"Sorry kid….Shouldn'ta played around with our business." Clark said as he finished typing in the schematics causing the machine to produce a loud whirring sound as the ball of energy grew bigger and bigger.
"No no no no…..I can't die….Not yet! Please…." Peter begged as tears began to form in the corner of his eyes, his thoughts dwelling on everyone who he loved.
Aunt May, His friends, Gwen, even his rival Flash Thompson he still cared about….All of them were going to have to bury his body, the thought haunted him as he struggled with all of his might screaming and grunting as the chair shocked him with what felt like a bolt of lightning, he still attempted to rip off the restraints, the shocking causing his skin to feel as though it were on fire. Oh how he needed to get the stupid restraints off!
But….He couldn't….As the machine fired a small ball of energy right at his chest, he felt the molecules in his body being forcefully ripped apart like paper, the pain was like getting a limb torn off over and over, except if it was everywhere on his body! He screamed as the world flashed around him, colors bouncing off the walls as the floor seemed to disappear below him, he screamed as his he fell for what felt like an hour into the bottomless pit, the entire world seemed to move backwards as he saw visions of all his friends, their floating transparent heads screaming at him to stay awake, only for his entire body to turn pale and for him to black right out.
He awoke in what seemed like an every expanding room, every color that was visible to the human eye seemed to be there as the floor, ceiling and walls all seemed to vibrate color as though it was heat vibrating off the sun.
In front of him was a figure that resembled an old lady from behind, as she seemed to stand with a cane, a small hood covering the back of her head.
"Hello?" Peter said as he approached her, his steps making color bounce off the floor as he made his way to her.
The old lady whipped around with speed that could break the sound barrier, as she revealed herself.
She was not an old lady, instead, she had long protruding fingernails, her body was incredibly boney and thin as though she were a skeleton and her mouth...Good lord her mouth was what someone would get if they crossed a crocodile with a badger as she had a long slender snout with millions of jagged yellow teeth.
Peter screamed and stepped back in horror, losing his footing he quickly fell to the ground, he tried to scamper to his feet, but he was too late, the old lady had pounced on top of him, her snout forming a disturbingly wide smile as she gripped the collar of his costume.
" $UV*#H(_#H *W_EUH#BP)(U#*$H&VG" She screamed intelligible gibberish at him as she yanked him up off the ground, her arms now grotesquely stretching so long he was at least 100 feet off the ground, her hand still grabbing his costume's collar.
"Have a good flight." She said with a shrill voice as she dropped him, colors radiating off her as she spoke
"P:F_#IU#$)(JVH#*YCBUV#g&*H*(H#BG&*(IUT^&I(*&^TGHJI*&^YGFR$%^&IOKJHGTYUI(*&^%$RGHJ" The walls screeched more gibberish as she dropped him, his body now fazing right through the floor and into the sky! He was falling from the clouds!
"OH SHI-" He screamed before landing head first into some water, he thanked his lucky stars that his spine wasn't instantly broke as he felt the cold water on his bare skin, he quickly surfaced from the water as he gasped for air, the shore just a few yards from where he fell he, he made his way over to the shore.
As soon as he crawled onto the shore, he firmly pushed his hands into the ground to make sure it was real, the wet sand getting all over his hands as he did so.
It was real! He began to kiss the ground in relief as soon as he confirmed it, the sand got all over his lips and the salt water began to stiffen on his blonde hair, but he didn't care! He was too busy gasping for sweet sweet CO2 to notice the woman next to him, that is until she screamed.
For you see, Peter's clothes didn't exactly make the strange, trippy journey he did, or to put it better: He was naked, with his member out for the whole world to see.
"Pervert! Pervert!" The lady shrieked as Peter promptly attempted to cover his mini-me, only to get socked in the face by her. Dropping into the sand like a bowling pin after a strike.
She immediately ran as soon as he was on the ground screaming for the marines to come and save her from the mad-man.
Not wanting to get arrested, he took off in the opposite direction, running behind a small house and only stopping to catch his breath once he was sure no one was near him, he then realized something.
Where am I? He asked himself as he looked around, he was on an island! It wasn't Ellis island or anything like that, and the water wasn't cold enough to be in the East Coast, he presumed he was in the Caribbean, but if he was...Then where exactly? It wasn't Cuba or Haiti, for the lady that just attacked him wasn't speaking Spanish or Haitain….Was it the Bahamas? Maybe, but then….How did he end up in the Bahamas?
As he was busy playing the guessing game in his head, he heard the marching of boots as the lady had gotten two marines, both having sheathed cutlasses, to look for him, and they were pretty close!
He didn't waste any time as he ran straight ahead, ducking behind every alley he could to avoid the main street, he ran and ran like he was being chased by a bear, looking behind him every few seconds to make sure no one saw his bare body.
After about 10 minutes of sprinting, he looked behind him again….
*SLAM!*
He had run right into a wall, as he looked up, he noticed two kids sitting on the wall looking at something, carefully sneaking by them he observed a sign next to the gate that read.
NAVY BASE
Under the total command of Captain Morgan.
A navy base? Maybe they have a spare uniform…. Peter thought as he leaped over the wall, he was far away enough from the kids as to not have to worry about them seeing him, as he was on the other side of the courtyard, far away from whatever they were looking at, he quickly stuck onto the base's tower, slowly climbing up it as to not alert anyone.
He was relieved to find an open window as he slowly but surely entered the tower.
He was in some fancy bedroom, as he examined three swords lying on the ground, he carefully opened every drawer and cabinet he could, searching anywhere for some clothes.
No luck...He continued onto the next room, a smaller bedroom with a bunk bed and a big wardrobe, he searched through it….
All that fit was a pair of white pants as all the pair's shirt were way too big to fit Peter's smaller frame.
He began to put on the pants, relieved that he could at least find something to cover himself up.
After putting on the pants he attempted to silently leave the room, only to hear marines and someone running down the hall, he quickly closed the door to avoid having any marine rush into the room.
Unfortunately for him, his luck seemed to have a deathwish for him, as he heard a group say:
"No sign of that kid….Did you check in this room?"
"No! Open it up, he could still be hiding in there!"
The door then swung open as 5 marines; armed with rifles entered the room, shocked at seeing a 15-year-old boy in the room.
"Who the hell are you?!" They shouted as Peter began to rush past them at lightning speed, running down the hall as the Marines shot at him, his spider-sense telling him to duck as soon as they fired, he continued to run, finally rushing into a small room with an open window.
The marines quickly followed him in as he had no time to hide on the ceiling as he had planned.
Peter usually could fire webs out of his body, something he and his comrades considered to be one of the grosser aspects of being Spider-Man, the keyword, however, is usually as he attempted to thwip web right at the Marines, with the pinky, pointer finger, and thumb extended he shot out his arm….
Only for nothing to happen.
"Okay...Guess we're fighting with our hands then." He remarked to himself as a marine swung the butt of the gun around, attempting to knock Peter unconscious, he avoided the attack and followed up with a quick one-two to the jaw, knocking his attacker to the ground.
Two more Marines then charged at him with their guns, he jumped in the air and with the heels of his feet kick them both in the nose, causing them to also fall over, gripping their noses in pain.
"Sorry…" He awkwardly said as he nervously scratched the back of his head.
"I'm sure you guys are good guys...So...Yeah." He said as he opened the door, only to be surprised by the fifth Marine! Waiting by the door to get him!
The hit with the butt of the gun was actually so hard, it sent him recoiling back and he grabbed his now bleeding nose in pain, unaware of the open window behind him...Until he fell out of it, that is.
He then extended his thumb, pinky and pointer finger again, expecting to hit the ground with a thump...Only to hear a thwip and some web to stick to the wall of the tower.
He sighed a breath of relief, relieved that his webs still worked.
That was of course until he attempted to shoot out a web on his other hand, only for nothing to happen….
What was worse was that the marines had gotten up, and now were taking shots at him as he awkwardly swung around, avoiding the bullets as he attempted to grab onto the wall of the tower, only to swing back to where he couldn't reach it.
"Stupid useless webs…." He said, mentally kicking himself as hung off the side of the tower, spinning every now and then as the Marines reloaded their rifles.
Captain Morgan was having an extraordinarily bad day, to put it mildly, first, his worthless son had gotten the shit kicked out of him by some punk kid with a straw hat, and now? Said punk kid was attempting to free his nemesis Zoro!
But to make matters even worse, now they weren't even listening to his speech! Instead, watching as some other kid with no shirt hanging off the side of a tower with some string, flailing his arms and legs every now and then to try and swing to grab the wall, only to fail and swing back to where he was.
Morgan felt his face turn red as even his loyal marines refused to pay attention to him! Instead, watching the shirtless idiot as he continued to try and swing his legs to move closer to the wall.
Luffy and Zoro both stared with a sense of pity and embarrassment as they saw poor Peter yelling as he failed to get any closer to the wall, with Coby whispering.
"Hey, Luffy, who's that guy hanging off the wall?"
"Who knows?" Luffy shrugged "He doesn't look like he's having a good day."
What Luffy said about Peter was an understatement, as he never expected to get murdered, then teleported to the Bahamas, only to now be stuck dangling off a tower, holding on to some web, with every marine in the area watching as he continued to swing towards the wall hoping to grab it, only to swing back to where he was.
Somehow, it got even worse….As he heard the web snap as a particularly cheeky marine thought it'd be a good idea to shoot the web he was hanging on, causing him to fall and hit his back on the ground with a loud "oomph."
20 Marines then surrounded him, all with swords and rifles as he got up they gave him one ultimatum.
"Give up or die!" The screamed, spit flying on Peter's face.
"Look guys, can we just not try and arrest me...So that I don't become wanted in the Bahamas?"
"The Bahamas?" Captain Morgan laughed as he approached the boy, the three pirates now also surronded by Marines on the other side of the courtyard.
"I don't know what the Bahamas are….But you sure as hell aren't anywhere near them! You're at Navy Base Island! With me! Captain Morgan!" The man screamed as Peter observed him from top to bottom.
He was a huge man, with massive bulging muscles and a steel jaw! Topped off with a giant axe for a hand made Peter very very nervous.
"Well...I'm Peter…Sorry about all this...But I'll just be on my way now if it's all the same to you?"
Morgan responded by slashing right at Peter's neck! Prompting the boy to flip up into the air to narrowly dodge it!
To Peter's dismay, the battle was on! As he continued to dodge all of Morgan's and the Marines attacks, his acrobatic skill making it very easy as he would continue to dodge with an impressive array of flips and rolls, countering with a punch or kick every time.
Morgan, on the other hand, had severely underestimated the boy as every attack Morgan seemed to throw would just be effortlessly dodged! Making him angrier and angrier as Peter began to taunt the enraged captain.
*SLASH*
"Wooh! A few swings like that and you might just graze me!"
*SWING*
"You know for someone in the navy you are really scary looking!"
*SLAM*
"Course maybe I'm just not from around here, but if I were you I'd take off the steel jaw, makes you look like a supervillain!"
A few minutes passed, with Peter continuing to taunt and dodge, finally ending the fight with a dropkick right in the captains face, his teeth and spit flying out as Peter swiftly incapacitated any Marine still willing to challenge him.
On the other side of things; Zoro, Luffy, and Coby had already escaped from the base as they easily defeated all of the Marines surrounding them while Peter and Morgan fought, with Zoro's swordsmanship and Luffy's rubber powers proving to be an effective pair against the outmatched Marines, not even Helmeppo's little hostage attempt with Coby worked, as Luffy simply pistoled him so hard he was instantly knocked unconscious.
After finishing off the remaining Marines Peter promptly escaped the base with a high jump over the gate as he began to run into the town.
He then hid on the in the alley for a few hours, making a new mask out of some materials he found in the trash.
It was a white and red color as it was made out of a used red bandana and white cloth, it looked terrible, but at least it passed the time.
It was actually more akin to blindfold with eyeholes cut out as it barely hid his face at all as his nose, mouth, and blonde hair was very visible with it on...Still, it did hide some portion of his face, which he might need now that he was wanted for attacking a navy captain and a bunch of marines.
He made his way to the docks with his mask on, multiple marines stood lined up in the streets! All saluting as a boat began to sail off!
This was his chance to get back to New York! As he ran and sprang off the dock with as much strength as he could he quickly latched onto the boat, his hands sticking to the side he lay sprawled out like a spider, not moving a muscle to avoid arousing suspicion.
As the boat began to sail off he began to reflect on how this all happened, everything that could have gone wrong in Oscorp, did go wrong, as now he stuck, sprawled out on a wooden boat sailing god knows where with a blindfold with eyeholes on his face, his webs barley working…..And Aunt May, Gwen, and everyone else probably freaking out because he went missing…..
Today was just not his day.
Peter's powers weren't always a blessing, in fact, more than a few times they were a curse!
Like the first time he got them, his middle school had decided to take the usual October field trip to Oscorp's lab, saying it had something to do with science (he was asleep and snoring very loudly when they were giving the lecture about the trip).
Maybe it was because he was asleep that all of this happened, as he disobeyed 99% of the rules during the trip, he touched everything, he annoyed the scientists, and most importantly; he wandered off.
The last rule was the reason he managed to get locked in the chamber with the spiders, as he had been drawn into the lab because of them, they're luminescent colors drew his roaming eyes the second he glanced at them.
He didn't want to handle them, he actually thought bugs were gross most of the time, but the way these spiders colors seemed to switch from a cozy red to a cool blue entranced him, he never did touch them though, as he knew getting bitten would not be fun.
What he didn't count on was the fact that was on outside of its test tube, on the ceiling right above Peter, slinking down with a cord of web it quickly leaped onto his shoulder, prompting him to freak out….And then get bitten.
The teachers swiftly found him afterward, yelling at him and placing him in detention once they got back to the school, much to his dismay, after all, it wasn't his fault the spiders looked so cool!
It was in detention that he got the first taste of his new powers; he wasn't the only one there as most kids got sent for standard reasons, swearing, smoking, et cetera.
First, he felt sick, like he had been on a rollercoaster one too many times, then, he sneezed, with webbing coming out of his nose like snot and onto the jacket he was wearing, again this caused him to panic as the other kids looked at him with bewilderment as though he were the town freak! He promptly cleaned the web-snot off his jacket and pretended as though nothing happened, which didn't work at all.
The third instance of his powers came two minutes after the web-snot incident as another kid in detention had made a paper airplane and was aiming right at Peter, who sat right a few rows in front of him.
Once the teacher had left the room, he threw the airplane right at Peter's head.
Were this any other day the airplane would have hit Peter right in the head and the kids around him would laugh, as usual.
But this time, he knew it was happening, except he never looked behind him or heard the paper fold or anything, he just knew something was flying right at his head, and he caught it without even looking!
He did this at the worst imaginable time, however, as the teacher had returned the second he caught it, leading the teacher to believe he was throwing it and extending his 1-hour detention by another 15 minutes.
The last time he experienced his new powers that day was when he got home, he lived in a small apartment with Aunt May just outside of Queens, the walk only being 10 minutes away from the school. Once he got to the door he jokingly reached out his hands and swung the door open, only for it to rip off as he did so, the handle sticking to his hands as passerby's looked with shock and awe, with his reaction being pure panic after realizing what he had just done.
It was after this (and paying $2000 for a new door) that he took his first few steps into becoming Spider-man.
And this is what it all of it led up to….in a foreign place stuck on a boat...Ho boy.
He was still sprawled out onto the side of the boat, as he had been for the past 6 hours, his joints feeling like rubber, he wanted to scream and jump onto the boat as he was not used to staying still for this long. He persisted, however, and stayed quiet.
The world around him seemed dreamlike and it seemed so calm, he might've been able to convince himself it was a dream if ocean water wasn't splashing him in the face every 5 seconds.
Minutes felt like hours as the boat drifted off into nowhere, the fact that he had put up with this for so long was mind-boggling, how could he take this any longer?!
The answer was: he couldn't! As he began to feel a gargantuan sneeze coming on.
He tried, oh how he tried to fight it! Every cell in his body trying to prevent it from it's evil coming out, but...It was too strong! He quaked and shivered as the sneeze rapidly expanded to his nose, he could feel it coming on...But he had to stop it! Or else it would wreak havoc upon him!
Don't sneeze Peter! He heard the voices in his head cry out as tears began to form around the corners of his eyes, his spirit giving offerings to the sneeze gods to please offer mercy!
But it was too late, the sneeze was too powerful! And now, it's evil would bring doom to Peter as he felt the wrath of the gods bring it down upon him through the pits of hell!
"achoo." A quiet tiny sneeze was produced from the side of the boat as Zoro and Luffy both looked at each other with confusion, shrugging they both went back to their own devices, with Luffy sitting on the front of the ship and Zoro napping, both assuming it was just the wind.
"SNARRRRFFFF" was the sound produced from Peter's nose as he sniffed, the mucus getting pushed back with such force they probably hit his brain.
Luffy and Zoro then looked at each other again, but this time with pale faces and eyes the size of the sun as the began to scan the side of the boat.
"...!"
Zoro was the first to spot Peter sprawled out, his face looked as though he had seen the Kuchisake-Onna, with Peter's face looking as though he just saw a nuclear bomb go off, both with horror and both with pale white faces.
Zoro was the first to scream in confusion as Peter scampered to the back of the boat, only to look up and see Luffy, whose face was nearly identical to Zoro.
His scream actually caused Peter to drop into the ocean, he wasn't thinking at this point, more or less letting his gut instinct take over as he submerged under water.
Luffy however, wasn't that easy to elude, as he felt two thin arms stretch around his torso and thrust him out of the water and into the air, only to slam him down onto the ship causing it to rock from the force of the attack.
"What the hell?!" Zoro shouted as the two instantly surrounded Peter who stumbled to his feet.
"Stay back!" He yelled as Zoro began to step toward him, his swords already drawn.
Zoro then slashed at the boy, who narrowly sidestepped to avoid it.
Peter then boasted, making his voice sound deeper and more heroic
"Looks like this is going to be a duel of swords, well then en guard pirate scum!"
Please work webs. He silently prayed as he aimed his webs right into his hand.
They worked as he sprayed web right into the palm of his hand! He sighed in relief and began to boast again.
"My tempered webbing is stronger than your steel!"
The thing in his hand begged to differ, as it wasn't even in the shape of a sword when Peter was done! Instead, taking the form of some shapeless blob of web in the palm of his hand.
Without thinking he launched the web-blob at the straw hat boy, hitting him square in the face and getting sticky web wrapped around his face, his muffled screams confirming this.
He then focused his attention to Zoro, who had begun to slash at him, this time he didn't have much time to avoid it, as he ducked down, the sword grazing his right ear and cutting the makeshift mask, its contents blowing in the wind as it slid of Peter's face.
"Not the mask!" He moaned as Zoro continued to slice at him, his spidey-sense going wild with every attack!
He had to spend all of his energy into dodging! No time could be spent counterattacking as Zoro was relentless, yet graceful with every sword stroke!
The way he fought was so strange to Peter, he had seen people fight with two swords in pirate movies, but three?! And to top it off, one of them was in Zoro's mouth, how did were this guy's gums not soaked red with blood?!
The boat also offered little in the way of acrobatics, as Peter knew that if he jumped he could easily find himself landing in the water, so most his dodges were simple hops sidesteps and ducks.
To his dismay, Zoro seemed to realize this as his attacks became more and more ludicrous, nearly impossible to avoid!
The finishing move, however, didn't come from either combatant, but rather Luffy! Who had just removed Peter's web ball from his face and decided to return the favor with a pistol attack trained right at Peter's jaw, who (despite his spidey-sense telling him not to!) elected to try and tank the attack, only to be knocked to the ground with a thunderous thud!
Zoro then seized a sword right up to his windpipe, preventing him from trying any dirty tricks as he lingered on the ground, beaten by the two pirates.
"Now…" Zoro began "Who are you? And how the hell did you get on this boat?"
Peter spoke slowly extending his hands in the air as to show his acquiesced surrender.
"I'm...Peter...And I hitched a ride on your boat when you left that port a few hours ago."
Zoro then shot a glanced a Luffy who seemed indifferent to this information and approached Peter.
"That thing you did with the goop...How did you do that?" Luffy cocked his head to the side.
"You mean my webs, it's….Just a talent…" Peter said with a small grin as Luffy studied his hands.
"But how did you do that?" Luffy said as he pointed to the side of the ship to where Peter had been sticking to.
"You mean sticking to the boat…? Again just a talent." Peter smiled as Luffy pointed to the mast of the ship, causing Peter to shoot a confused glance.
"Stick to that." Luffy said as he nodded at Zoro, who grudgingly sheathed his swords.
Peter then put his hands onto the mast of the boat, causing them to stick on command, he then flipped his legs around and placed his feet onto the mast, now walking up it as though it were the floor.
"Cool!" Luffy exclaimed as Peter began to jog up and down the mast with ease, even surprising Zoro a little.
He then flipped off and landed back on the floor boat, causing it to rock back and forth.
"Hey….Are you a bounty hunter?" Luffy asked as Peter sat on the ground.
"Bounty hunter?"
"You were wearing that mask, made you look like one"
"No...Not necessarily a bounty hunter." Peter laughed "I guess I was more of hero, I saved people, fought supervillains, it was great!"
"A hero!" Luffy's eyes lit up like stars as Zoro sat down and silently examined the boy with a cold stare.
"Yeah...It was nice." Peter nodded "Sooooo…..Are you guys...Pirates?" He asked with a wary look as Zoro still had his hand on his swords, ready to attack him whenever.
"Yep! I'm putting together a crew! I'm gonna become the king of all pirates!" Luffy exclaimed will fiery passion.
"Oh…." Peter said.
"Wanna join?" Luffy then abruptly asked, causing Zoro and Peter both the yell "WHAT?!" at the same time.
"Luffy are you crazy?! This guy's some weird stowaway and you're gonna let him join?! I thought you were serious about being pirate king!" Zoro screamed
"I don't work well with others, I-I have a tendency to get in bad situations, I sometimes pretend to shower even though I just get my hair wet...I'd be a terrible pirate, especially with others!" Peter explained as Luffy sat with a big grin on his face.
"What other option do you have?" Luffy smiled as he gestured out into the open sea.
"Listen...Luffy...was it? I'm just trying to get back to my home, and besides, I bring people like pirates and robbers to justice, I don't se-"
"Great! Welcome aboard!" Luffy said with a chuckle as Peter sighed in frustration.
"No! Listen! I need to go home! Not join some band of crazy pirates!" Peter shouted as Luffy sat on the edge of the ship.
"Where's your home?" Luffy asked as he stared out into open water.
"Um...New York? Do you know where that is?"
"Never heard of it! Maybe it's near the grand line! That's where we're headed." Luffy said as bobbed his head back and forth playfully.
"No...It's in northeast America….." Luffy's confused expression caused Peter to facepalm.
"A-Mer-I-Ca! Do you know where that is?!"
"Nope."
Peter internally screamed then sighed as he turned his attention to Zoro.
"Hey, green haired guy...You know where America is right?"
"Never heard of it." Zoro yawned as Peter's expression was one someone would give off if they were given a really, really stupid answer.
Maybe their foreigners? He thought to himself as he slumped down on the boat.
He was silent for a few minutes before realizing something.
"Uh….We're just drifting off into nowhere." He said as he saw that neither pirate had been steering or navigating the boat.
Zoro sighed.
"We...Don't know how to navigate." He said with an embarrassed look as Peter's face turned white with shock.
"You don't know….how to….navigate?" he asked again, unsure if he heard Zoro the first time.
"Yeah."
Peter then screamed internally, his face turning as red as a watermelon as he began to quietly sob.
"Hey….Are you okay?" Zoro asked as he noticed Peter lightly shaking.
"IM GOING TO DIE HERE!" He screamed to the heavens before collapsing onto the floor, Luffy laughing and clapping as he did so.
Hours, maybe even a day went by as Peter had fallen asleep sometime after screaming, arising to see Luffy clutching his hat with a distant stare into space.
"Hey...You're gonna drop it again if you space out….Isn't it important?" Zoro asked.
"Yeah, thank you, Zoro!" Luffy politely said as Zoro nodded.
Peter's stomach then growled, causing the two to snicker.
"Hungry Peter?" Zoro asked as the boy yawned.
"Yeah, you guys got anything to eat?" Peter searched around the boat, finding nothing.
"No...We're all hungry." Zoro said as the three heard a noise, a bird flying overhead.
"Let's eat it!" Luffy said as all three looked at the bird.
"Huh, how?" Zoro asked as Luffy grinned
"Leave that to me!"
He then propelled himself using the wooden head of the sail to propel himself up screaming something about a rocket.
"I see…." Zoro said with an eyebrow raised as Peter looked up at him.
"Um….Green haired guy, is he gonna be okay?" Peter said as he pointed to Luffy, whose head had been caught in the bird's mouth.
Luffy's scream for help answered that question as the two looked at each other with shocked expressions.
"Get me close to the bird!"
"What do you think I'm doing!"
"Hang on Luffy!"
"Where are you going?!"
"I'm gonna launch myself into the bird!"
"HOW?!"
"You'll see! Just get a little closer!"
"Moron!" Zoro screamed at Luffy as Peter sprang up into the air, aiming his web string right at the bird he fired a string, hitting the bird right on the foot, he then dangled in the air, holding on to the web for dear life as the bird began to fly faster.
He dangled in the air for minutes, climbing towards the bird as best he could, below him was a large island.
Then, out of nowhere, a cannonball hit the bird! Sending him and Luffy plummeting towards the ground of the island!
One quick thwip of web on the roof of a house was what saved him from making a crater in the ground, Luffy not so much as he flew into the ground at Mach 5, causing dust to fly everywhere as multiple pirates and a girl stood around Luffy, as Peter dropped from the thread, walking over to his new captain.
"What an experience I just had!" Luffy exclaimed as he stood up as Peter caught a sly grin creeping across the girl's face, something a fox would give after catching a rabbit.
"I'm starving..." Luffy clutched his stomach as the girl then raced over with a look of gratitude.
"Boss! You came to save me!"
This girl's also part of the crew? Peter thought to himself as Luffy looked at her with a puzzled expression.
"Who're you?" He asked as Peter began to notice the three very angry pirates as the girl raced off in the opposite direction of them.
"Sorry! They're all yours now!" She shouted as she ducked behind an alley, clearly not part of Luffy's crew and just dumping trouble on them!
"Hey...Do you guys know any place to eat around here?" Luffy turned to one of the pirates who responded by punching the top of his head and knocking his hat right off!
It took about 10 milliseconds for Luffy to strike right back at the guy's face, sending him flying as he grabbed his hat out of the air.
Before the other two could even react Peter shot two threads of web at them and slammed their heads together! Knocking them out cold.
The girl then shouted from up on a roof.
"Wow, you guys are strong! You beat guys with sabers with your bare hands!" She said with a grin, though Peter couldn't tell if it was devilish or genuine.
"Thanks! Who are you?" He asked as the girl jumped off the roof and onto the ground.
"I'm a thief who steals from pirates! The name's Nami! You guys wanna join up with me?"
Luffy responded before Peter could.
"No, we don't feel like joining you." Luffy said as he turned and walked away, causing Peter to shrug at Nami and catch up with Luffy.
"W-Wait!" She called out as she ran after them, Luffy stopping in the middle of the street as both his and Peter's stomachs growled with fury.
"We're starving!" Luffy said as he gripped his stomach in agony.
"How about I treat you two to food?" Nami asked with another grin, her true motives not showing in the slightest.
Again, before Peter could even get a word out Luffy answered with a quick "YES!"
Nami's home was a small, cozy house that reminded Peter of Aunt May's apartment.
As Luffy consumed an entire sandwich in one bite, Peter began to speak up.
"So...You live alone here?" He asked whilst examining the home.
"No, I don't live in this town, everyone ran away because of Buggy." She said as she sat on the table, watching Luffy gobble down pieces of bread.
"Then you're a burglar?" Peter cocked his head to the side with a confused gaze.
"How rude! I only steal from pirates! Don't compare me to scum like burglars!"
"But a thiefs a thief." Peter shrugged as Nami frowned at him.
"My goal is to earn 100 million Berries, whatever it takes!"
Berries? As in the fruit? Peter thought to himself as Luffy spoke up.
"What do you need that much for?"
"It's a secret! And with this map to the grand line, 100 million is a real possibility!"
"Um….Sorry, I'm not from around here….What is this grand line everyone keeps talking about?"
"You've never heard of the grand line?!" Nami said with a shocked expression as Peter shook his head.
"It's the pirate's graveyard! And where the passage to the new world is!" Nami said as Peter looked at Luffy with an eyebrow raised.
"A pirates graveyard…? And you want to go there?" He asked as Luffy nodded.
"Say….If you have a map, are you a navigator?"
"Much more skilled than your average navigator!"
"Oh, that's perfect! Do you want to be our navigator?!" Luffy stood up as he asked, his intrigue going from 10 to 100.
"Really?!" Nami asked with a massive smile.
"Yeah, the newest member to the pirate crew! Besides Peter of course!" Luffy smiled as Nami's smile deteriorated into a scowl.
"No!" She quickly said as Luffy flinched. "So...You guys are pirates?"
"Yeah, I swore to the person who gave me this straw hat, that I'd gather a crew and become a pirate!"
Nami then shifted her gaze to Peter who was quietly eating a piece of bread.
"What about you? Why are you a pirate?" She asked, her voice cold as steel.
"I'm more of a foreigner, (plus I was kinda forced into all this…)" Peter said with a shrug.
Nami then slammed her hands on the table.
"There's nothing I hate more than pirates! I only like money and tangerines!"
"Hey. Be our navigator."
"I said no!"
Luffy sat back down as Nami looked out a window, quickly hiding as she did so, she then thought for a moment, with another evil smirk sliding across her face, causing Peter to nervously sweat.
What is she planning?
She then put her hands around Luffy's shoulders.
"Well, I might consider it! If you agree to certain conditions!"
"Really?! I'll do anything!" Luffy said as Peter shifted his gaze to his idiot captain, then Nami.
"I want you two to come with me to see Buggy the pirate….but….."
She quickly tied Luffy up, as Peter backed away slowly.
"Listen, Nami….This has been great….Really, but I think I'm gonna go….I got stuff….." Peter quickly said before being tackled by Nami and forcefully tied up.
The orange hair she-devil! How dare she tie him up?! He tried to fight, but rope tying must have been another one of her talents because even with his enhanced strength he couldn't bust out!
"We're gonna die." Peter said to himself as she walked them out of the house.
"Buggy! The thief has come back on her own!"
"What?!"
Nami began to walk down to the tent with both Luffy (who was oblivious as ever), and Peter, guiding them like dogs on a leash to the crazy clown, pirates sneering as she walked past them.
"That's them! She's the one who stole the chart!" One of the pirates from before pointed out, his face still bruised from Luffy punching it.
She then pushed both Luffy and Peter onto the ground, causing them both the grunt as she did so, sticking out her tongue as she did so.
"Captain buggy the clown! I've captured the two thieves! Here is your chart back." She said, handing the chart back to the clown.
"I appreciate it...But why the sudden change of heart?" The scoundrel asked.
"My bosses and I had a fight! I'm fed up with them!" She smiled. "Please let me join your crew."
Buggy's eyes then narrowed in anger as the pirates around Peter and Luffy began to shake in terror.
"Captain buggy is angry! He's gonna use his devil fruit power!"
"Devil?" Luffy asked as Buggy began to cackle in amusement.
"Fed up huh? You're a flashily amusing girl! I like you! You can join my crew!" The clown said in between laughs.
Luffy and Peter then had a cage thrown over them, to Luffy's confusion.
"Why are we in a cage?"
"Because we're to get executed by a clown because Nami is a backstabber." Peter calmly explained.
"Oh."
Buggy then laughed at the two idiots, turning his attention to Nami.
"Girl! What name do you go by?"
"Nami."
"Alright! Let's throw a welcome celebration for Nami!" Buggy announced as the pirates began to cheer.
Food, alcohol, and games were all overstocked at the party, as Luffy extended his arm in an attempt to grab a chicken leg off the table with his rubber powers.
It failed of course and sent him colliding into Peter which led to mini-brawl with Peter and Luffy attempting to strangle each other as they hopped around the cage.
"This is flashily great! Prepare the special Buggy ball!" The clown captain announced as a cannon was quickly set up in front of the cage, aiming at a small group of houses next to the tent.
"Wh-What's about to happen?" Nami asked, clearly having second thoughts as she saw a massive black cannonball being loaded in.
"Observe the might of the Buggy ball!" The clown captain said as he signaled for his crew to light it.
The resulting explosion shocked Peter as it destroyed an entire neighborhood of houses, it was like watching a dive bomber take out a village, Peter silently hoped no one was around when it went off.
"You insane evil clown!" Peter shouted as he pressed his face against the iron bars.
"Eh?!" Buggy turned around, with fire forming in Peter's eyes.
"I'm gonna wipe that stupid red nose off your face when I get out of this cage!"
All of the pirates flinched as Buggy's eyes lowered in pure rage.
"What did you say about my nose?"
"I said it's stupid, this entire crew is stupid! What even are you, a sailing circus?!"
Buggy began to violently shake with fury as Nami's eyes widened with horror.
"You idiot!" She cried out, prompting Buggy to look at her.
"I can see why your sick of them Nami! Especially him!" Buggy chuckled as he pointed to Peter.
Nami quickly put on a nervous smile.
"Yeah! He isn't even from around here and he's younger than me….so I just couldn't take it!"
"Naturally! Well...I'll give you a Buggy ball to blow away your old bosses!" Buggy laughed as Nami's eyes widened even more.
"It'll also serve as your loyalty test to me! Do it!"
The canon then was moved to face Peter and Luffy, it's barrel aiming right at them.
"You know my aunt used to say that if you get involved with the wrong types of people you'll throw your life away, I never knew that she meant it literally!" Peter commented as Nami approached the canon.
"Come on!" Nami said with a scared smile, "This is a welcoming party, let's just have fun!"
"Do it, this is my style of welcoming party." Buggy sadistically smiled as he handed her a box of matches.
All eyes were on Nami as she walked over to the fuse, Peter beginning to speak again.
"Nami….Don't do this, if you do, you'll kill us and will be no better than these pirates."
"S-shut up!" She said as she stared at the matches.
If I don't shoot them, I'll be killed….But if I do, I'll be no better than these madmen.
"Nami...I know you backstabbed us, and I know you're probably only looking out for number one, but please….You know that killing someone isn't worth anything! Big or small! My uncle taught me that, and I'm sure you can agree with him. Now please, put the matches down." Peter implored as Nami's hands began to shake, with the crowd of pirates chanting "fire!" she felt every heartbeat as everything in her body screamed to stop this!
"Hey new girl, quit being such a tease! You gotta light it like this, see?" A random pirate then lit the fuse.
That was all it took for her to strike as she extended her staff and wacked the bastard in the head! Knocking him unconscious.
"Nami! What's the meaning of this?!" Buggy screamed with anger as she bowed her head in apology.
"Sorry!"
"What?! Apologizing won't fix this!" Buggy roared as Luffy then spoke.
"You're saving us?"
"Don't be stupid!" Nami shouted. "I didn't want to end up like these inhuman pirates! Someone I loved was killed by pirates a long time ago! As if I'd ever be one!"
Buggy exploded in outrage as pirates began to surround the girl!
"Men! Kill her flashily!" He shouted as four pirates charged Nami, who avoided them with side roll.
"It's lit, it's lit, it's lit!" Luffy and Peter shouted as they realized the canon was about to fire, causing Nami to rush over and put it out with her bare hands! Screaming in pain as she did so.
"Look out!" Luffy screamed as all 4 pirates jumped up behind her, she couldn't dodge, so she braced herself for the end!
"No!" Peter shouted as they all swiped their swords right at her!
Clang!
"Hey...What're 4 guys taking on a girl alone for?" Zoro said as he blocked each of their attacks with his swords.
"Zoro!" Luffy cheered as Peter and Nami sighed with relief, the swordsman then questioning the two morons.
"How did you guys end up in this? First, you take a ride with a bird, now you're both in a cage?"
All of the pirates shivered at the mention of the name, some questioning if they heard it right, Zoro was with these two?!
"So you're Ronora Zoro?" Buggy said with a chuckle "What are you here for? To take my head?!"
"Nah, not interested I gave up the pirate hunting a long time ago."
"Well, I'm interested! Killing you will increase my name!"
"I wouldn't try that, you'll die."
"Is that so?" Buggy smiled as he twirled knives in his hands, clearly not intimidated by the ex-pirate hunter.
"Guess words aren't enough for you." Zoro sighed as he and Buggy began to circle each other, with Buggy licking his knives and Zoro putting his sword in his mouth.
"Buggy! Buggy! Buggy!" The pirates cheered as the two slashed at each other with lightning speed!
Zoro however, was much more of a skilled fighter than Buggy as he easily slashed through him after about a minute, dismembering his torso, right arm, and left leg.
The pirates began to laugh as Zoro looked at the body, perplexed.
"He had no resistance when I slashed at him…."
"...Hey! What's so damn funny?" Zoro turned around
"...!?" He grunted in agony as knife penetrated his side, Buggy's dismembered arm floating mid-air!
"The Chop Chop fruit….The name of the devil fruit I ate! So now I can be a chopper who never gets chopped!" Buggy laughed as Zoro kneeled over, clutching his side in agony.
"I thought devil fruits were only a myth!" Nami shouted in disbelief as Buggy cackled.
"I didn't hit any vital spots! But still! A major wound! I win!"
"Buggy! Buggy! Buggy! Buggy!" The crew cheered as Peter shook with rage.
"That's enough big nose!" He yelled as every pirate and Nami went completely pale.
You're not supposed to call him that! She thought to herself as Buggy flung a knife right at Peter!
Fortunately, this is what he wanted! As he quickly sidestepped, letting the knife cut through the ropes.
"YES! RUN ZORO!" Peter shouted as he began to bend the bars of the cage.
"What do you mean run?! I came here to rescue you!" Zoro shouted in disbelief as Buggy snarled.
"I have a plan! It's a work in progress but it'll work! Just trust me!" Peter said as the bars of the cage began to bend to a point where he could slip out.
What is even happening anymore?! Nami thought as Zoro nodded and shot up.
Buggy then leaped right at Zoro! Slashing and putting him on the defensive!
"Impotent fool! As if I'd let you escape!" He cackled as Zoro countered every slash!
Peter couldn't move the bars far enough to escape, however! He sighed and shouted.
"I am so sick of this dumb cage!" He then punched a hole in the top of the cage, and leaped out, as Zoro continued to distract Buggy he ran towards the cannon and hoisted it up.
Every muscle burned as he lifted the cannon, it was heavy...But he persisted!
"Come on...SPIDERMAN!" He screamed, using all his strength he threw the cannon up as to where it was aiming directly at Buggy.
"Light it Nami!" He shouted as he fired webs at Buggy's legs, holding the clown in place.
"AGH! HOLD ON THAT STILL HAS A BUGGY BALL IN IT!" Buggy cried out as she lit the fuse, he struggled with all his might to escape the webs, finally slashing at them with his knives as Zoro ran out fo the way of the canon.
"Haha!" Buggy cheered as he successfully removed the webs.
But it was too late! As the canon's fuse was lit!
Peter, Nami, and Zoro all plugged their ears as all of the pirates began to panic!
It fired with a tremendous thundering sound, like something Zeus lightning would make!
BOOM!
To be continued...
Authors note:
Ho boy! This one was one of the longest chapters I've ever written! And it's only the first part! As our heroes will face off with Buggy a second time and learn more about the town in the part of this chapter!
Also to clear any confusion I'm gonna answer a few questions!
Q: Why is Peter not as nerdy?
A: This Peter is a little younger than Peter B. Parker, and while he still is a social outcast, he is not a nerd by any means, that doesn't mean he's dumb or is bad at school, he definitely is smart he just is more street smart than book smart.
For a good reference think of Tom Hollands Peter Parker, not stupid, but more of an outcast than a nerd.
Q: What arcs will the story cover?
A: I'll probably skip the filler arcs and just do the important ones (IE Peter meeting the crew and essential story arcs)
Q: Will there be any possible romance between one piece characters and Peter?
A: Maybe, but currently Peter's journey will be set on him figuring out how to get home (If he even can!) and the friendships he forms with the crew
Q: Why spider-man in the one piece world?
A: I figured it would be fun to see someone like Spiderman, a more lighthearted hero play off of the world and see how he changes as the story progresses.
Anyways, thanks so much for reading! If you enjoyed consider leaving a review and favoriting as this was probably one of the most fun fanfics I've written and I'd love to see what you guys think of it!
Chapter 1 Part 2 will be out shortly!
