Pirate Trio

Summary: Meet an upstart pirate from the South Blue. Starting out as a trio watch as he and his crew set off to build a larger crew he's got one goal in mind. Watch as he travels the world to find a crew and accomplish his life's mission.

"So that's it then? You're really leaving?"

"We have to Moira. We've spent too much time holding this off. It's time to head off and build a larger crew. If we want to get revenge on those damn marines then this is the only way. Goodbye guys we'll try to come back as soon as we can." I break away from the tearful embrace with my childhood friend and see the whole village had came to see me and siblings off.

I'm the middle child. We lost both our parents and entire village in a buster call. The few of us who survived had to relocate to an empty plot of land. We've managed to rebuild our lives as best we could but it couldn't replace our anger for the marines. We've all vowed to get revenge on those we lost, if we don't then we are no better them.

For so long it's just been the three of us, soon there'll be more. As the oldest it's my job to look after the other two and make sure they stay out of trouble. I promised I'd always protect them, kinda ironic considering becoming a pirate is pretty much the most dangerous lifestyle to have. But I know we'll be fine though, before she died our mother gave each of us a Devil Fruit.

I ate the Energy Energy Fruit which gave me Logia powers. My sister ate the Blood Blood and my brother ate the Shadow Shadow. To this day it's still unclear how our mother was able to procure not only one but three Logias that aren't even in the book by Vegapunk. But there has been talk of a smuggling ring for quite some time so that may be the case but it doesn't matter all that much.

"What's our heading captain?"

I looked at the map which I had spread out on the small deck and tried to plot a course. "From what this map says the closest place would be somewhere called Numa. From what I've heard it's home to the beast tribes but I'm not sure which one but the rumors I've heard are pretty weird."

"We're three orphans randomly traveling the world so we can get revenge after miraculously surviving an attack which is supposed to be impossible to do so especially if you're kids and that was before we ate our Devil Fruits. I'm pretty sure our parameter of weird is from crazy to unbelievably non-existent."

"She's got a point big brother. Even before the attack our lives were weird. Anyways do you really think we'll be able to find anyone on this Numa place? From what I've heard beastmen don't particularly like humans?"

"That may be true but it wouldn't hurt to try but at the very least we may be able to find a bigger ship for when we eventually get more crew. This ship is barely big enough for the three of us. But enough of that it's time to set sail to Numa and find ourselves a crew mate." With shouts of agreement the unnamed trio of pirates set sail for the island of demis. Unaware of what lies ahead.

"Are we almost there yet Ann? We've been out at sea for days and so far nothing."

"Quit complaining Dan, although I admit it'd be easier if our captain wasn't always sleeping so much." They both turn to see their eldest sibling napping at the mast as usual. "Due to the boat being so small it'll take us about three more days than the normal length which is about a week."

"Man that blows."

"Sea King ten o'clock." Suddenly awake from my sleep as my Observation Haki tells me that a Sea King was approaching. Right as it breaches the water I grab the family sword Jormungand a nodachi. As it tries to eat our boat I leap from my resting position and after cutting it with a vertical slash I land on the ship with it sheathed. After about a second the Sea King split in half and the pieces fell to the sea dead.

"Could've left us some of the action Zan? You're always hogging all the fun."

"What kind of brother would I be if I let my younger siblings get hurt? Besides that one was so weak. I took it down in one slash and I didn't even need to use my Devil Fruit." Without another word I fell back asleep.

"He's such a show off." Dan says that but he knows that he's only looking after them. Whoever their father was definitely knew what he was doing when he dubbed him the inheritor of the family sword. He's an ass but he seemed to know what to do so that we wouldn't have to worry as we ventured the seas.

"You're right about that. But I say we should take his lead. It's starting to get late. Let's turn in for the night and continue in the morning when we wake up." Ever since the attack we've never been able to sleep unless we were all together. Within the small space that this boat provides is about the max distance that we can be separated. After losing our mother we've become completely inseparable.

"You know it's not polite to point weapons in people's faces whilst they sleep." I wake up to see that our boat must've drifted while we sleep and that we also were on a beach somewhere.

I look around and see that both of my siblings were with me and awake and from the expressions on their faces were just as surprised as I was. In my still half asleep state I notice that we were surrounded by what appears to be nekos of all shapes and sizes.

"Oh my, well then dear siblings of mine it appears we've arrived at the Isle of the Wandering Cat otherwise known as the port town of Numa. Now then if you would be so kind as to take us to the whoever's in charge of this place. Don't worry we aren't gonna attack, we're just here to find a ship and some people to join our currently unnamed pirate crew."

That caused them to lower their weapons as they saw we meant them no harm. "If you are looking for recruitment then your best bet would be at the auction house. We have people from all over the island to choose from. I will take you there myself, before we do though are there any specifics?"

"No not really. That aside why are you suddenly so friendly? A minute ago you were pointing weapons at us."

"Sorry about that, when we found you we weren't sure if you had any malicious intent or not so we were a bit on edge. You see recently we've been getting lots of violent visitors so forgive our concern."

"I understand. My name is Zan D. Alkore, and this are my younger siblings Ann, and Dan. We're triplets who lost our village about a decade ago in the South Blue. We came to this village looking for about four people to join which includes a shipwright."

"Return to your posts while I escort our guests." With a salute to their leader they left. Something doesn't feel right at all though. I sense something's definitely off.

"Keep on your toes I've got a really bad feeling about this place. Something's definitely not right with those guards." I whisper to my siblings as we followed their leader.

"Oh yeah I just realized we never got your name. As my older brother said earlier my name is Ann the middle sibling."

"Sorry for the late introduction, my name is Maya Akabane. As you can see I'm a cat demi more commonly known as a neko." I take notice of her orange and black ears and tail as well as the fur we can see from the parts not covered by her armor.

"As you can see this is one of the largest trade towns on the island. We trade items from all over this part of the world." As we walked around I took notice of all the different species of demi. I must say it's really quite impressive. There were lots of types birds, dogs, lizards, and all working together peacefully.

"And here we are at the auction house where we buy and sell slaves. I know what you're thinking but it's not like it sounds. It's a form of work here and perfectly legal. We sometimes even get Nobles to come here for some of them." Knew this place seemed fishy. "If you'll please follow me inside I'll escort you to someone who can present you with a few choices."

As we were walking through the auction house we saw all kinds of people both behind cages and in front of them. I noticed that they even had children and fishman locked up here.

"Right through here if you please." We walked into a room that was well furnished in contrast to the aroma of the whole place, not that surprising since this place hosts nobles. "Wait right here and I'll bring a group to choose from." With that she left rather hurriedly I might add.

"Dan follow her. I don't know what it is but this whole place is giving me the creeps. Nodding at the command he phased into the shadows after our bipolar host.

"You really think there's something wrong about this place?"

"Those mood swings are too random for it not to be. Besides since we got here my danger sense has been going off like crazy. There's something somewhere in this place that they're trying to hide. And as pirates it's our duty to not just let something with such potential lie there now can we."

"Sounds like you got a plan. What'd you find Dan?" She speaks as a shadow comes into the room and reforms into our younger brother."

"Not much. This place has three floors, right now we're on the first. She kept talking to someone, most likely the provider but I couldn't really discern his name. She'll be here soon, she brought about ten people for us to choose from. Three of them are shipwrights who used to work for the best in the city."

"Well that solves one problem. For the others I say we each pick one for the three of us. That way we'll be getting four new crew members. And once we've finished here we'll head further inland to find the leader of this island. What I didn't tell you is about three weeks ago a letter in a bottle had drifted ashore to the island. It's the reason why I chose Numa as a starting point. It was asking specifically for our help."

"What made you so sure it was us they were talking about?"

"For one it mentioned each of us by name. I knew it had to be from this place as what I ascertained from when they were holding us at gunpoint earlier as well as from my own research the neko of this island are clairvoyant meaning that they all have some form of psychic ability. That's why they let us go so easily. Once we get a ship we need to head as close to the north side of the island as quickly as possible. That's where the town of Vaux is, the designated meeting point." As I finish I notice the door opened and Maya along with about a dozen slaves.

It was quite a collection ranging from nekos to Lizardmen, and even a fishman. "I apologize for taking so long. The three on the end including the fishman are accomplished shipwrights. I will give you some time to decide and we can discuss payment afterwards." She then exited the room to give us a bit of privacy.

"Finally I thought she'd never leave. Listen up you lot I'm here looking for someone who can build us a ship that can sail us around the Grand Line. I'm building a pirate crew so that me and my siblings can get revenge on the marines for ruining our lives. No offense but the fishman is coming with us. We need you to rescue me and my brother should we somehow end up falling into the sea as the three of us have Devil Fruit powers. Due to the nature of my sister's she's not affected by the sea."

As I said that the chains which were connected to each of them released him and after rubbing his wrists which were sore and bruised from those chains he walked up to us and kneeled. "I would be happy to call you my captain. My name is John, a Bull Shark Fishman. I'll gladly build you a ship if it means I can get out of this hell hole."

"Excellent welcome to my crew. At the moment we don't have a name but that'll soon change. Now then I'll let my siblings pick and I'll make the last call." I look towards my siblings and I could see they've already decided.

"I want the blue neko." As she said that the girl in the middle was suddenly released and walked towards us and did the same thing John did introducing herself as Raina and that she had the power to see into the future.

"I want the Lizardman." That came as a bit of a surprise for both of us. "My name is Seimour." Skipping the kneel which was perfectly fine with me he took his place beside his fellow recently released slaves.

I look at the remaining seven and try to decide who to choose. I pace back and forth in between them giving them a once over. As I was about to settle with those we got I notice something about the short one on the end. She has the stature of a trained swords woman and to my surprise was human. "You'll do nicely."

As her chains dropped I had to resist the urge to grab her wrist as she tried to stab me with a stolen knife. "I'll never serve you filthy pirates. Thanks to you I finally get my freedom." She backs away in shock as she noticed that instead of being dead I just grabbed the knife from my neck and threw it to the corner of the room, with that part of my neck which got stabbed automatically reforming with strange blue particles. "How the hell, you're supposed to be dead."

"My you have a fire in you. That cheap trick you tried won't work on me or my siblings. Unless you have armament Haki then regular weapons aren't gonna work on Logia users. I ate the Energy Energy Fruit and became an Energy human." I grabbed her wrist and drained her of about thirty percent of her energy making her visibly weaker. "From your outfit and stance I'm gonna take a guess and say that you're from Wano. Intriguing. What are you doing all the way out here in the West Blue?" Before she could curse me out the Neko from earlier came in with an old Dog man.

I see you've made your choices, excellent, that'll make this go faster. Just sign these documents and once they're paid for their personal items including a few weapons will be handed over to you." As he approached me I had a brief flash of Observation. I grab his arm and quickly disarm him and Dan immobilizes the cat.

"I knew there was something weird about this place. Looks like the rumors about this place were true. In order for a slave transaction to be complete depending on the haul you must prove yourself to be worthy. The arrogance of the demis. I understand believe me I do, centuries of forced subjugation and just when you finally have freedom it swept under the rug by the World Government, forcing you to sell your own people. Aside from that though I've beaten both of you so I believe that means that I get to take each of them for free." He was getting extremely weaker by the second as I've been draining him enough to make him compliant.

"My you have some spunk young man, I like you. Go ahead. But if you're really in the mood I think there's something that may interest you in the lower parts of this building." Signalling his assistants to bring the freed slaves their personal effects. Once they were all armed and back in their usual clothes we headed to the bowels of the auction house.

"So Mr. Manager, mind explaining to me what's down here? I sensed it the minute I walked in here?"

"She's a former member of the giant squad of the marines. After betraying the marines during a Buster Call on an island in the South Blue ten years ago she managed to avoid Impel Down and was instead sentenced here." Me and my siblings stop in shock at that. No, not at the mention of the island, it doesn't have that effect on us anymore but at the mention of a former giant marine. We know her, she's the one who helped us again.

"Oi traitor you've got visitors. Try not to stomp them too hard." As we walk past the cages those were some of the nice things they were shouting. I felt so bad for her having to face all this discrimination because of us.

"Get up you lazy giant come and meet your new masters."

"Go away I hate humans." She turned around towards us, probably trying to look intimidating and after a few seconds gasp in recognition.

"Yo Diane. What's it been, like ten years. Let her out. She's coming with us." Me and my siblings smile at the sight of our savior. If it weren't for her we and the rest of the survivors would be dead.

"Been some time. Still the same as ever. We finally get to thank you for the irreparable deed you did to us." My sister steps up with the others confusedly stay back as they don't know what's going on.

"Welcome to the crew Lady Diane." She blushes from the [raise given to her by Dan.
