Chapter 1: The Jump (Snow's POV)
I sat in the leather chairs in Greed's room. Her green chairs and desk were a small splash of color in the otherwise completely white room. The door opened and Greed walked in. Her bright green eyes were staring at, into, and through me. I was breathing heavily. It seemed extremely loud in the room. It was normally bad if one of the Seven Deadly Sins called you. She smiled before sitting down at her desk.
"Snow right?" she asked.
"Y-Yes ma'am," Oh shit, did I stutter? Greed didn't seem to notice, she was looking at the papers in her hands.
"Okay, well, it seems you have quite a list of accomplishments. First in your class, survived the Playground, completed twenty-one missions alone; and another ten with a partner; you also never stuck with one partner, and never got attached to a fandom character canon or otherwise," I didn't know why she listed off all my accomplishments. "That's why you're being assigned to this mission." That was a relief, I wasn't in trouble she was just giving me a mission, but there was only one reason to be in her room on a mission brief, I was getting a partner. "Now you will have someone with you on this mission. She should be here now." Then the door opened up and another S.I.N. agent walked through. Her bubblegum pink hair was bright and cheerful despite the dark gray and black S.I.N. uniform; not that my lime green hair was too far away; her hair just barely came to her shoulders, and the S.I.N. uniform was worn as it should be: The full body suit which was a dark gray with black covering the arms and legs then lines coming from those to the middle to form the black circle on the front and back that bore S.I.N. in bright gold.
The girl looked at me then Greed. "So… What's the mission?" At least she seemed serious.
"Miss Bat, please sit and you will know."
After Bat sat down Greed continued. "Your mission is to the One Piece Universe, G.R.A.C.E seemed to had infiltrated the fandom long ago and left a secret weapon there back when generation four was still growing. Now they are sending generation six members into retrieve it and unleash it on the fandom. If we don't stop them they won't stop at One Piece they'll take over the multiverse."
I gave the one response everyone wanted to hear,"We'll stop them."
"Good." Greed said. She led us down the corridors to the weapons room. Where the scientist was waiting to hand us the weapons the mission.
The scientist stepped forward with the normal S.I.N. field uniforms, which looked the same as the regular uniform except it had hemet with a black stripe on both sides of the helmet. It did however, protect us from all harm not produced by magic, InBetween energy, or S.I.N. weaponry, but it overcharged our InBetween energy to do it and required us to eat chocolate while wearing it or we burn up. Then he handed us the standard S.I.N. phaser which had three available shots, but each shot did the same as wearing the field uniform. Then handed us chocolate stimulants which gave us almost the same effects as normal chocolate which balanced out the InBetween energy. Then the scientist used a key on a nearby door and handed us a blue cube which he got to explain.
"That is a prototype time stopper it allows you to move through a stopped world, however once turned off it will overload the InBetween energy of anyone nearby the device when it was turned on." I tucked it away and we went to the jump platform where we were handed normal clothes which we got and changed into. We gave Greed the our S.I.N. uniform to burn in case we died, yeah comforting. Then we stepped on and a machine's voice counted down, "Commencing jump in. Five. Four. Three. Two. One. Jumping Sinners Snow and Bat." The white light of the jump machine beamed down and we were whisked away. We landed and I pulled out the Commlink which was the way S.I.N. contacted agents and helped agents on their mission. On the commlink was a message from the Seven, Build a crew. Then I looked at the map we were next to Foosha Town, Dawn Island, East Blue. Funny we were starting our adventure the same place Luffy did. We walked into town and figured where to look for Pirates to join our crew, that's when we spotted the bar and knew to go there. We walked into the bar and down steps which lead to the main bar. It was dark and barely lit but people were still here, we were about to just go looking for people when we heard a man talking loudly to a group of people.
"I'm telling ya, I'm one of the richest pirates there is."he said, we finally saw the man talking. He was tall and lean, he had on black boots and pants like a stereotypical pirate, he also had on a white poet shirt that was unbuttoned at the top. His black hair was slicked back and he had a scar across his nose.
Another man questioned his story, "So where's your treasure then."
"I told I don't remember where it is and my maps were destroyed in a ship fire." He responded.
"Alright old man whatever you say." The man got up to face the other pirate.
"My name is Lain and I say you should change your tone little boy." The other pirate didn't like what Lain said so he punched Lain in the gut then punched him to the ground. He kicked Lain once more before leading the group away from him. Bat and I walk over and helped him up.
"Thank you." he sits at the bar and calls for the bartender, "Get these two a drink and get me a bottle of Captain." Bat and I only get water since we technically shouldn't drink on duty, we technically aren't old enough either, 20, but no one cares. Lain was drinking from the bottle he had and looked just downright pitiful, but for some reason I asked him, "Are you really a pirate?"
He looked at me, "Captain of the All-Blue Pirates, the crew that sailed the whole world. Now my crew has gone away wealthy and I'm sitting here, wasting my gold till I die from these bottles."
I felt bad, then I made the best dumb decision of my life, "We'll help you make a new crew."
He looked at me with a new life in his eyes, "Seriously?" he asked hopefully
"Yes." I said. He jumped up and let out a loud whoop. He ordered a two barrels of Captain to be delivered to the docks then left. We got to the ship in breakneck time and he led us to one of the ships docked and stood in front of it.
"Here she is, my ship. The S.S. Sea Sins." He shows us around the ship. There is twenty rooms that can fit two people. A medical bay filled with medicine and herbs, that can hold five injured. Two storage room and a brig. A Captain's quarters, a map room, and a crow's nest.
"So this ship is impressive,but how is it still in good condition?" I asked
"I pay a boy to keep it up and running and every week I come by to keep it up to." he responded, "Actually here he comes now. Draco come here my boy meet the two new crew mates for the ship."
This boy wearing black everything: Jacket, shoes, and pants. Walks up the gangplank he had his hood up and all we could see was the bottom of his jaw, his blue hair, and his gold eyes. He lowered his hood to show the face of a fifthteen year old boy with long blue hair.
"Hi, in case you didn't hear him, I'm Draco. I keep the ship running as good as I can." he said.
"With my help of course." Lain commented.
"When your not completly drunk of your ass."
"True."
Draco just sighed, "Anyway we can't take off, how many pirates do you think a drunk, a fifthteen year old, and two people can hold off."
"Very true, well we need more supplies so while we get that. You two go find us another member for the crew."
So we were off to find someone except we had no idea where to look. We looked around, but no one wanted to joins us, then some guy walked up to us.
"You two looking for pirates to join your crew?" he asked.
"Yeah why do you know any, are you one?" I answered and asked.
"No, but I know where to find some." he pulled a flyer out of his coat, "Pirate Arena the underground fighting tournament. Toughest S.O.B'S you'll find, you can find you members there."
We head to where the flyers say and find a small cave we walk down and we see a fighting tournament going on. We made in time for the finals.
"A man stood in the center of the arena holding a microphone, "Ladies and gentlemen, introducing first the Terror of the Seas, the Metal Pirate Iron Jaws." a pirate with a full lower jaw made of metal raised his arms. "Next introducing the three time Pirate Fight winner the Vampiress, the deathly and beautiful, the Nightstalker of the Seas, Katherine." A girl on the opposite side with bleached blond hair raised her arm up. A bell sounded and the two ran at each other. Katherine grabbed Iron Jaws and flipped him over her. Iron Jaws grabbed Katherine and bit her, so Katherine turned and kicked Iron Jaws then threw him up and high kicked him. Right before he hit the ground Katherine curb stomped him. The bell sounded again.
"Your four time winner, Katherine." Katherine took a small bag from the man and left coming our way. I stopped her.
"Hey would you care to join our crew?" I asked.
She looked at me then Bat, "You guys pirates."
"Yeah and we could use someone like you." I said
"Sure I'll join you guys, it's boring here. These punks are weak." We led her to our ship where Lain and Draco were finishing preparations.
"Did you find someone?" Lain asked us.
"Yeah meet a four time fighting champion." I said gesturing to Katherine.
"Well good get one board we can make due with five people." We got on board and about to set off when someone else walked on. It was Iron Jaws and the guy from the bar.
"Well, well, well. Captain Drunk Ass does have a ship and crew." he walked over to Lain. "Here I thought you were lying about your pussy crew. Lain said nothing as he let out a deep breath. Then he turned and hit he man over the head with the bottle of rum he had. The guy went down as Iron Jaws yelled, "Get 'em boys." Pirates then rushed the ship trying to attack us. All of us held our own. Draco was dual wielding pistols making headshot after headshot, Katherine had grabbed two cutlasses and was slicing through pirates, Lain had his own cutlass and was cutting down pirates, Bat and I simply used our InBetween energy to knock them down not even using our actual power. Iron Jaws saw as his entire crew was defeated and backed up, right into Katherine. Katherine held him as Draco aimed a cannon towards the ship for the Iron Pirates, Iron Jaws' ship. IronJaw's was livid.
"No don't not my ship." Katherine then threw Iron Jaws in the way of the cannon, and Lain grabbed the guy from the bar and did the same. Draco fired the cannon into both and a huge beam of light came out of the cannon and we watched as they got carried and slammed into their ship which was exploded on impact.
Draco came behind just to utter one phrase which explain what happened, "Buggy Ball." Katherine then sliced to rope keeping us tied to the dock. Draco hoisted the sail and we were off. Draco said nothing as he grabbed a bag and filled it with food, pistol ammo, a sniper rifle, a scope, and rifle ammo. Then he climbed to the crow's nest and sat inside it.
"Why'd he go up there?" Bat asked.
"He always wanted to be a lookout." Lain said. We just continued to sail on Lain just standing at the front of the ship.
Lain just yelled for no reason, "I'm king of the world!" he stood up on the railing on the bow of the ship, "Woo-hoo."
"Hey save the Titanic moment for later and figure out where the Hades we're going." I yell. Lain steps down and walks over to the helm.
"I figure we try to build up the crew a little while headed for the grand line." Lain said.
"The Grand line! Why would we go there?" I asked.
"For the One Piece of course."
"O.K. set course for the Grand line."
We sailed for awhile then we we saw another ship. It changed course towards us, they must've wanted whatever we had. Draco was somehow already down here and ready with the cannons. The ship fired its cannons and we fired back. Finally it pulled up beside us and pirates jumped from their ship to ours. Katherine wasted no time to slice through the pirates. Then their captain jumped on board, he was extremely tall and was dressed in gold armor from head to toe. Katherine slashed at him only to have her swords not be effective.
"You can't harm me, my armor protects me from all physical harm." he said in a deep booming voice. Then he swiped Katherine away,he walked towards the rest of us. His crew had stopped fighting as he stepped forward.
"So who are you?" Lain asked the man.
"I am Yoroi, the Untouchable." he said. Then he swatted Lain as well. Lain landed in a heap next to Katherine, who was struggling up. Yoroi grabbed me and lifted me, by the back of my shirt, off the ground. Then grabbed Bat "What do you think boys, do you like them?" the crew all shook their heads and said yeah. He then collided our heads together and we blacked out. I was woke up later by someone throwing water on me. I woke up see Yoroi standing with a bucket in his hand.
"What do you want." I snarled at him. He turned and then I noticed I was in a cell. He closed the cell door. Then he removed his helm and I saw his face it was gorgeous except he had a scar running from his right eyebrow diagonally in a straight line to the left side of his chin.
"I wanted you. Your mine now. I own you." he said. "I just thought you want to be awake when introduced you to your fellow slaves." then he grabbed me again and led me down another level where it was even darker. I was then led to a cell that housed two other women. One was over in the corner curled in fetal position, her ginger hair covered in dirt and grime, her white dress shirt torn and dirty,nothing on her lower half. The other girl is over in the other corner looking broke and hanging her head low, her brown hair dirty as well, she wore nothing, she was covered in more dirt than the ginger. I felt Yoroi run a hand up the back of my shirt I turned on instinct and aimed a high kick to him. It caught him and he stumbled back, I was about to hit him again when he grabbed me and pinned me to the wall.
"A fighter well. I like your spirit, but I will soon break it." Then he threw me into the cell and slammed it closed. I stood up in the cell and hit the cell wall. I heard a voice from the cell next door.
"Snow is that you?" I heard Draco ask.
"Draco oh thank gods it's you. Where is everyone?"
"I don't know Lain and me were thrown down here. They took Bat, Katherine, then Lain somewhere else."
"How'd he get you."
"When he got Lain I ran for it, but I was shot in the leg and went down."
"Well don't worry I'll get us out of here." I grabbed the bars to the cell and focused willing them to freeze. Slowly ice spread across the bars, I smile then kicked the bars breaking them. I look at the two girls, "Come on it's ok." the ginger slowly stands and walks over and climbs through.
"Thank you." she said. The other girl crawls over and crawls through the bars and I help her stand and she leans on the ginger for support. I then walk over to Draco's cell freeze and break the bars. Draco and I scout the stairs as the other two stumble along. I creep up the stairs and when I come by the first door. I hear Bat inside, "Let me you fucking creeps." I bust inside the door and see five guys fighting with Bat, her shirt was gone and the pirates were bleeding and bruised. I froze the five guys then Bat meets my eyes. "Are we using powers now?"
"Yeah it's O.K. to use them." I say. Bat looks at the five frozen figure and they explode.
"Let's go she says." so we run out and we reach the main deck. Yoroi is slamming around Katherine when we reach it, he had put his helm back on.
Draco walked forward, "Coward hiding behind your armor!"
Yoroi looks over at us, "Ah so are you ready to be good little slaves."
"No why don't you quit being a sick fuck." I yell.
"Why should I, the world wasn't that nice to me. I was forced to do this my whole life as a cabin boy. Lock away during the day. Used at night. Traded for gold. One day I tried to fight back and want to know what happened." he took his helmet off. "They took a knife and cut a line across my face and then slammed me onto bed and said to me 'Who do you think you are untouchable, your nothing boy.' So I decided from that day on I would be untouchable I would never be hurt again, and share me teaching onto others and make them see it's better to be bigger and stronger than others."
"Just cause you hide behind armor doesn't make you strong. You shielding yourself is all you're doing."
"Doesn't matter." he pulls a knife from his belt and raises it high over Katherine. Bat threw out her hand and suddenly Yoroi's arm exploded. He fell back onto his back. Katherine grabbed her cutlass and slipped it in the chink of his armor, exposed from the exploded arm, and popped the chest piece off.
Katherine shoved her sword into his chest, "Hell awaits you." then pulled it out. The brown haired girl walked forward, she was holding a machete. She walked over kneeled down then brought the machete up and and down repeatedly onto his face.
I grabbed her and pulled her back, she started yelling at me, "Let go don't fucking touch me," and flailed, fighting me.
"Calm down,calm down. It's ok I'm the one who saved you." she looks at me, breathing heavily. She calms down and starts crying in my arms.
"It's ok, it's ok." I say patting her back, "Let's get you some clothes." I leave the ship to Katherine's mercy. I lead the brunette girl and the ginger to the ship to get some clothes. "So what are you names?"
The ginger looks up, "I'm Tory."
The brunette still looking down answers, "I don't have a name I was called Sprinkles all my life." I said nothing as I lead the to my room and gave them some clothes a tee shirt and jeans for them. I go back to the other ship and Katherine, Bat, and Draco are talking.
"What are you guys talking about… Where's Lain?" I ask.
Katherine points to a figure hanging over the ship, "Up there were trying to find ways to get him down." I whisper in her ear what to do. She pulls out her sword and throws it up hitting the rope dropping Lain. He hit the deck with a thud. He sat up holding his ribs.
"What the hell why didn't you climb up or use the platform they used to get to me and open my wounds for the crows?" he asked.
"This way was more fun." I said. Lain grumbled and we walked to the ship. We got back and Tory was in the infirmary with Sprinkles using the equipment to check her. Tory looked over at us. She had somehow found a suit, the pants, white gloves, and black suit coat. All of it.
"You guys need something?" then she looked at Lain and pulled him over and sat him on a bed and opened his shirt. "You have so many cuts on you I can cover those, but these ribs are in bad shape. She cleaned his wounds and bandaged them, then she wrapped his ribs. "Don't do anything strenuous for a couple days until those heal." then she went back to Sprinkles and continued checking her.
So we went onto the main deck, Draco stopped us before we could do anything.
"Hey guys we have seven members now. We can be an official crew now."
Lain looked at him, "What are you saying Draco?"
"I'm saying we need a jolly roger and a crew name." Draco replied
That's a good idea." Lain said. Then he started thinking.
Then I spoke up, "How about the Sinful Pirates?" I asked.
Lain looked up. The Sinful Pirates upon the Sea Sins. Sounds nice." Lain replied. Everyone agreed with him about the name. "Then I have an idea for the jolly roger." I grabbed a piece of paper and pencil from my bag and held the design before them it was the golden letters of S.I.N. with the crossbones through it. Everyone loved and in no time it was painted proudly onto our sail. We were off heading towards what we had no idea. The only thing was we set sail for the Grand Line.
