Still accepting OCs. For template look on my profile under the black fist pirates. Thank you in advance. :-)
Jack and Mark D. Star
A new adventure begins
This story begins on the North blue. 30 years have passed since Monkey D. Luffy became king of the pirates and has since retired from piracy to start a family with his wife Nami in Foosha village. The other Straw hats have gone on their own journeys across the world. We now follow two young boys sailing the seas on their own. This is the beginning of another adventure for another crew.
"Hey Mark. Where are we going? I don't see any land anywhere, are you sure we're going the right direction?" a boy says looking in every direction from a small dingy. He is leaning over the side holding onto the mast. He wears a military green jacket with the sleeves ripped off. His hair is black with a single tuft of yellow hair going out from one side of his head. He looks extremely happy.
"That's the fifth time you've asked Jack. And every time I've given you the same answer. Which one of us is the navigator? Geez," the boy named Mark says. He is wearing a floral patterned pair of shorts as well as a plain white t-shirt with a light blue snowflake on the back. He has light brown hair, which darts backwards in a single flat spike. He is reading a map of the seas and looking at a compass.
"Be careful when you stand there Jack. You could easily get carried away and I won't be able to save you," Jack puffs his cheeks and sits down beside his friend.
"Don't you trust your captain Mark?" He says grabbing his chest dramatically.
"Of course I do. But you can never be too careful," Jack spots something in the distance.
"Hey. Mark. Look. A pirate ship. Let's head over there. They might have some food we can have. I'm damn hungry," his stomach appropriately rumbles accordingly. Mark lets out a sigh and looks in the direction Jack pointed.
"Fine. If that's what you, feel like. This is never going to end well you know that?" Jack meanwhile is just thinking of food and not listening. Mark changes the direction of the boat to head for the pirate ship.
"HEY! You guys. We're coming aboard!" He yells and starts climbing up the side of the ship.
"Jack that isn't really a good idea you know," Mark tries to reason, but to no avail. He quickly climbs after him. When they get up the entire crew is standing around them.
"So… can you guys spare any food?" All the pirates look at each other and then start laughing. They slowly start surrounding the two of them with only Mark noticing it happening.
"I'll take that as a yes?" They all take out their swords and guns. Jack ignores them and starts walking towards the cabin.
"No you little punk. We're robbing you, killing you and dumping you for the sharks. You really should have considered not being so trusting," A tall man presumably the captain, says stepping right in front of Jack putting his gun to Jack's forehead.
"You do have food right? That's really all I care about" the captain grows more and more angry. He loads the gun and his men start laughing.
"How are you so calm? You're going to die," Jack pushes his gun away from his head and walks towards the door in the ship where food might be stored again.
"No I'm not. Cause you won't be able to kill me."
"We'll see about that punk," he pulls the trigger and Jack falls forwards and lands lifeless on the ground.
"I guess you're all alone now kid. Surrender and you… Where'd he go?" He says looking around, but Mark has mysteriously vanished.
"Did anyone see where he went?" Everyone look around.
"He's not in the dingy captain."
"I'm right here," someone says behind the captain. He turns and looks at the ground only to see a small penguin.
"What the…" it begins to grow to enormous proportions. Its wings become muscular arms and it grows legs as well. Its chest grows muscles as well. The beak becomes sharper and longer and the top of its head turns the same shape as Marks hair, but black on the top and white on the bottom. "MUSCLE BOOST!"
"A devil fruit user," The captain cowardly says as Mark punches him in the stomach and into the ocean.
"That's right. Bird-bird fruit model: the penguin," All the pirates with guns start firing at him. He leaps towards them. He turns into penguin form again, sliding across the floor on his stomach as if it is ice causing all their bullets to miss. When he gets close, he turns big and grabs two of them by the head and slamming them into the wooden deck. The rest fire at him and he turns small again and begins sliding around avoiding every shot.
"Would you wake up and help me dammit?" Jack stands up and ruffles his hair.
"I didn't really harden it enough before the shot hit and it knocked me out for a moment," everyone looks at him frightened. They start firing at him again. "BLACK LAYER!" His entire body turns a metallic black and all the bullets stop without penetrating his skin. He holds his hands crossed in front of his body. He leaps forward. "ARMOR LAYER: BARRACUDA!" He hits the first pirate with such force the entire crew fall over after being knocked out. The two boys both return to normal and high five each other.
"Work on your reaction time idiot," Mark says as they tie them all up.
"Work on your KO's per second. I took out the entire crew in a few seconds and you beat like what… two in five seconds," Mark grunts as he ties the last knot.
"Alright. This knot should be easy for them to untie. Get the lifeboats and let's dump them," Mark says and Jack comes carrying the big boat with a mast. He places it in the water and they tie the crew to the mast so they won't fall off," They push them off on their way and Jack even waves them goodbye.
"You think they'll make it to the nearest island?"
"Doesn't really matter does it. Let's find their food," they go into the ship to look for supplies. Soon they sit on the deck eating some basic rations.
"You know Jack. This isn't a bad ship at all. It good too because we gave them our dingy," Jack looks around the ship. It isn't anything too special. The previous crew had been quite small so there is a cabin fit for around 20-25 people, not that him and Mark need all the space. They can easily divide it up into smaller rooms if they need it. The front figure is an angry sheep. The ship has a storage room for food and supplies, but that is about it. No kitchen, no toilets or showers.
"We could always renovate it if we need to," Mark suggests.
"Sure, why not? But if we're going to have such a big ship, then we need some more people. We need to find more nakama. When did we get to that next island again?" Mark looks at his maps and compass again.
"With a ship like this… about a day or so," He looks, but Jack is already gone.
"Come on bro. That time you even asked the question!" Jack is climbing up the mast into the crow's nest.
"If we're going to use this ship, we'll need to name her!" Jack thinks for a moment.
"How about: The Black Sheep? Because we're different from everyone else," Mark shrugs.
"I get it. Black Sheep it is. Anyway help me get this ship going."
"Right," Jack jumps down and starts helping eagerly with everything. The two set off for the next island.
