So I am new on this site and I have never written any form of fan fiction before. I decided to give it a try. It was either between shippuuden or One piece so I decided to go with One piece since I wanted to experiment with a lighter story, comedy adventure, less serious and intense stuff.
This is my own original crew and plots, some arcs will come into play when I've collected more crew members. At the moment its only the captain, Desoto (He ate a Zoan devil fruit) and by the end of the chapter there might be two new members.
Read and enjoy! And I will apreciate some feedback ^^,
Chapter 1 – Into the horizon
The newly acclaimed young pirate drifted along with the wind towards an island, it has been a week since he set off on his journey and a week since he has set foot on solid ground. He has seen many islands but try as he may; he failed to drift towards one. He left in such a hurry that he didn't think things quite through, he took a small boat he built when he was younger, a few rations he had laying around and his savings – which was looted by a band of real pirates along with his sails.
But even though his journey started on a bad note, he didn't care much. The scruffy black haired 17 year old had a song on his heart and his sight set on adventure. He stood up on his boat and held onto the bare sail pole with his foot on the side of the boat, he pushed his fringe out of his eyes and smiled gleefully as he welcomed the slow approaching island in the horizon.
"Here I come, Destiny!" he yelled out happily, "First leg of my journey… East blue…" he paused and thought of a name for the island; he quickly saw a lot of seagulls circling a dead carcass further on being dragged by the tide. He cringed his brow, "Lets skip the naming for now. Morbid"
The wind suddenly picked up, it was as if it wanted him to stop on this island. He has been starving for the last four days because the wind wanted him to stop there first. Yeah that was it. He was nearly by the docks and he just wanted to jump off and kiss the land. His tiny boat hit the harbor with a thud and he fell forward. Some pedestrians laughed at him as they chugged their ale down, he joined their laughter and tied his boat.
"You have to pay 100 beli a day to dock here, boat or… Toy" he said pointing to the boat with his bottle. The tall pale-skinned teenager who wore a white silk sleeveless top with sky blue buttons and stitches and black free flowing bellbottoms with bare feet grabbed the man around the shoulder.
"Let's make a deal. You seem like a reasonable man" He said, trying not to breath in the man's alcohol and cigar stench.
"I don't make deals kid. Pay me or meet my blade" he pulled out a cutler from its sheath that hung from his belt.
"Everybody makes deals, my smelly friend. If you beat me in a match of arm wrestling, then I will give you double the amount you asked. And if I win, well, I want to dock here without paying"
The man thought about it, the kid had to be joking; his arms were as scrawny as a child's who hasn't worked a day in his life. But then he looked at his near empty bottle of ale, "Very well" he ruffed his voice and his buddy pulled a barrel closer. He slammed down his elbow and awaited the boy's hand. He smiled a toothy smile and grabbed the man's hand and pushed as hard as he could, along with the man. He smelled the sweet scent of food and it nearly picked him up by his nose and dragged him through the air. He let go of the man's hand and ran uphill into the town towards the smell of food. The man yelled and swore but he didn't chase after him.
"You have to come back for your boat eventually!" he growled.
The young man paid him no mind and kept running, dodging random pedestrians, until he finally got to the food stall. He smiled and lifted the hanging shutters and pushed through. Suddenly he heard a loud yip and a pain struck his legs as something bit into his skin. He recoiled back and instinctively kicked forward, striking a man on his back and knocking his head into the counter.
"What the fuck!" the man yelled as he rubbed his forehead after he turned around to face the black haired stranger. He got up and stroked his big dog's head who seemed riled up with a snarl directed at the person who stepped on its tail.
"I-I'm sorry" he muttered, trying to hold back his laughter, "I am Desoto" he said as he stretched out his long arm.
"Are you seriously introducing yourself after you hurt my 'dog' and kicked me in the back" he hissed, almost coordinating a snarl with his dog.
"Well, yes. I am a friendly guy. I didn't mean to hurt your dog" he said and crouched down to apologize to it, the dog was about the bite his face when the owner pulled it back by its ear, "feisty, isn't he…" he laughed.
"First of all, it's a wolf, and it's not a he"
"Oh. I'm sorry"
The man, who seemed to be no less than a year older Desoto, stared at him dryly. "So you apologize to my 'dog' but not to me, who you kicked in the back"
"I don't care for you" he said bluntly and took a seat next to him.
The man laughed, "Another moron. The name is Kumori" He had spiked up dark blue hair and auburn eyes which looked like he didn't have a care in the world. He wore black shorts with blue flip-flops and a blue-black t-shirt with a long grey scarf around his neck that fell down his back to his legs. He had the same length and slender body as Desoto but more muscled.
Give me one of everything on the menu!" Desoto demanded as he couldn't contain his hunger anymore.
"And one chicken broth ramen for me, billed to this guy"
After Desoto wolfed down all the food he sat back and held his belly, he looked into the Wolf's eyes and smiled at her, "What is her name?"
"Yuna"
"I want her to join my pirate crew"
He spat out the broth he was drinking from the bowl and his whole expression changed, "What?! You have no idea how valuable she is! And she is all I have left…"
"Let's make a deal… If I win she may join my crew as my nakama, if you win, I won't have to challenge you to a fight"
"Are you threatening me?" he said, stretching his hand out to Yuna. Then suddenly Desoto burst out in laughter and smacked him on the back.
"I would never take her away from you, I'm messing with you. Even though her eyes burn with such willpower. She is a good animal and you are lucky to have her" he smiled.
The guy raised a brow, "You can read her soul just by looking into her eyes? You must be drunker than I thought"
"I understand the souls of beasts. And I don't drink" Desoto said and got up, "Thank you for the meal" he said and waved his goodbye.
"You forgot to pay"
"Oh, haven't I mentioned? I don't have a single beli" He laughed embarrassingly.
"What?!" Both the cook and Kumori exclaimed.
"So sorry. Got to go" He said and wiped his black fringe out of his eyes as he was about to dart off. The cook signaled to the people on the streets and they instantly surrounded Desoto holding club and sword.
"You picked the wrong town boy. This town is packed with people waiting for a good fight. You will meet your death here" he laughed darkly and signaled with his finger. A guy pelted forward and swung his club at Desoto and he swiftly ducked and the man missed.
"Well, this escalated fast. Would you guys rather want to strike a deal with me?" he suggested, but it went to vain as two other guys swung at him too which he dodged easily. "Very well, I never back down from a good fight" He laughed and lift his fists and punched the first guy who dared to approach him; the guy flew back and knocked three other guys down with him. Kumori stared open mouthed as he didn't expect a skinny guy like Desoto to have such strength. One by one he knocked the guys out as the fight turned into an all out brawl.
The cook knocked his stand over and held a large knife by Kumori's throat, "Aren't you going to help your friend?"
"What? I don't even know this idiot!"
Yuna snarled savagely as she knew she couldn't do anything for him in that situation.
Desoto saw Kumori and disappeared into a blur and appeared next to the cook, he punched him flat in the head and sent him flying into a brick wall, his ragdoll body left a noticeable dent in the stone.
"What are you doing?! They're going to think I'm with you!" he scolded, "The cook could have slit my throat with that stunt you pulled!"
Desoto broke out laughing as he saw the large cook get up; he was amazed at how durable the ugly old fart was. More and More fighters seemed to leak from the building to fight him, and immediately they took Kumori on as well. Yuna jumped to defend him and ripped flesh and gore from the opposition. They fearfully stepped back.
"We need to get out of here!" Desoto yelled when he finally fathomed their situation, he couldn't fend against the hundreds of people storming towards the scene, not while he wants to protect the white wolf.
"We? I'm not part of your pirate crew!"
Desoto and Kumori stood back to back with raised fists as they were being surrounded.
"I'm talking about big white" Desoto replied and directed to Yuna, Kumori wanted to turn grey from the insult. Desoto really cared more about an animal than a human life.
Kumori stretched out his hand towards Yuna like before and she placed her tail in his hand. "WHITE MOON SCYTHE!" he yelled out. The white wolf morphed into a large scythe with a long curved white blade and silver staff inside of his hand. He skillfully swung and maneuvered it around his body and suddenly put it to a halt as the air pushed away from the blade on the ground. Kumori jumped up into the air backwards and jumped over most of the crowd. He landed on his feet swiftly and exclaimed "LUNAR HOWL" as he swung the blade towards the crowd's feet, the blade unleashed a silver rift in the air and shot into the ground, slicing it and crated a slight dust cloud.
He heard an eerie laughter but couldn't pinpoint the location with all the ruckus going on. He instinctively looked above the crowd and into the sun as he put his hand by his forehead to protect his eyes from the light, and then he noticed it, a speck in front of the sun… Before he could wonder what the hell it was it flew to him at a rapid pace. He turned around to run but it was too late. Two arms wrapped around his chest and pulled him into the air. A horrifying yell escaped Kumori's mouth as he opened his eyes and saw he was high in the air and flying towards the ocean.
"What the hell kind of dog is that!?" the voice above him yelled imbedded with laughter. Kumori looked up and saw Desoto was the one who held him. He was flying with giant blue-black bat-like wings that sprouted from his back.
"She ate a devil fruit, Gai Gai no Mi, class: moon scythe! I told you she is valuable, what the fuck are you?!" he demanded.
"I want her so bad now, even if I have to fight you! I am a dragon boy. I ate one of the legendary Zoan devil fruits, Ryu Ryu no Mi" he explained as he involuntarily dropped closer to the ground, "My wings can't take this weight, we're going down!" he yelled out laughing as they flew over the ground and within the reach of angry people with an immense speed. Kumori yelled out, scared for his life. They dove into his boat and toppled over painfully. Desoto quickly got up and cut the rope with a knife he got from his belt. He jumped over seemingly unconscious Kumori towards the front of the boat and held onto a handle bar. He stretched out his four meter wing span and thrashed, created a strong wind behind him and propelling the boat forward faster and faster until the island was in the distant horizon.
Desoto's wings disappeared within his back and he collapsed next to Kumori's legs, exhausted and panting happily. Yuna had transformed into her wolf form again which took more than half the space of the boat. She sat awkwardly on top of Kumori's top half of his body as she was too afraid to move.
They set off towards the horizon, the first step of their journey behind them. Desoto had absolutely no interest in asking Kumori to join his crew, but after he displayed his swordsmanship he just had to have him , either way he was going to have Yuna. He looked at her with great intent and she stared at him blankly with an inner mouthed growl.
I hoped you enjoyed my first chapter, new chapters will be submitted soon. But only if there are people who are actually interested in this new adventure in the One piece world :o
Character now are: Desoto the captain, Kumori the swordsman, and Yuna the... pet wolf/weapon.
