Destroy the Company
I don't own One Piece. Please review.
It was a calm day on the Going Merry. The ship's navigator had already chosen a destination in the East Blue and they are sailing towards that land right at this moment. The last time she checked the map there's just a wide expanse of blue water between the ship and that area. So now, while the straw hat pirates were waiting to get there, they were doing their usual leisure activities.
Most of them were inside the ship, but as the navigator, Nami had to observe the sky so if she sees a storm, she can quickly navigate around it and keep the morale in fine condition. But there were only a few clouds that day, and she just observed the beauty of the ocean, when she heard footsteps coming from behind her. The cook must have made a snack for her.
"Hey Nami!". Scratch that. It was the seventeen-year old captain.
"I'm bored" he said. Nami replied, "Well, too bad. We're not reaching our target for about another week". "I know, but when are we going to reach some kind of land?" the captain asked. "Okay," the navigator answered as she pulled out a map. "Now you see, we are right here, and between us and where we're headed, there's no single type of island or such. No land at all".
"What! None at all!" Luffy said back. "Then what about pirates? Are we going to fight any pirates before we get there?". Nami was getting stressed, as she usually does while explaining something to Luffy. "How should I know?". Luffy sat back and held up his hand. "I bet we'll fight two pirates a day. That's let's see...one...two..." and he counted using his fingers, which is unfortunate that he has only ten of them. Still looking at the map, Nami replied, "Don't get your hopes up, Luffy". The seventeen -year old captain stopped counting momentarily and "But there's a pirate ship right there-"
BOOM!
Only a second after that sound, the triangular mast of the Going Merry toppled over to the side. Zoro and Usopp immediately came out of the cabin while Sanji came out of the kitchen with gravy spilled all over his shirt. Nami yelled, "We're under attack! Usopp get to the cannon and shoot back!". Sadly, the sharpshooter yelled back, "But it's too far away! Our cannon probably can't shoot that far! I don't know how that ship can shoot us from over there!"
Another cannonball was shot, hitting the stern side this time. Finally, Luffy got up and said, "I'll handle it then!" He ran to the direction where the ship was shooting, then stretched his arms and legs out, grabbing the stump of the two masts. The next cannonball shot was caught by Luffy, who grinned. He was reeled back by the impact, ready to launch it back with the same distance as it had traveled right then.
Well, he was going to launch it before another cannonball was shot from behind him and the impact caused both cannonballs to explode. Luffy was down. That wasn't good. As well as the second ship where the cannonball came from behind Luffy. Things were bad.
They were closing in around the Going Merry as well. They would be surrounded soon. Usopp thought about shooting the first ship, but in case the two pirate ships were working together, he just stood with his knees shaking.
When the first ship came up to where Nami, Zoro, Sanji, and Usopp were, a big, muscular man in uniform was standing right against the rim, close enough to talk.
"Is this the entire crew?" the man asked in a deep voice, although he didn't wait for an answer. "All right. ATTENTION!" he roared. "You are hereby under arrest for trespassing into the private territory of Grim Kraken of Kraken Corpse!"
Zoro was confused. "Arrest? Wait, are these guys pirates?". "I'm afraid so," said Sanji. "I heard some time ago of this really famed pirate named Grim Kraken. They say he was the closest to ever finding One Piece. That's all I know". Then Nami spoke up. "There's more" That's when Sanji realized that Nami was scared. "Kraken had disappeared in the Grand LIne, but a couple years later, the Navy found a package of supplies meant for pirates, labeled "Kraken Corpse", and they realized that he had established a company that made supplies meant for just pirates. And then there were rumors that Kraken had captured a hoard of people to be his slaves that operate his company, creating raw materials for tools to be made. And there was even a drop in the population of a certain sea after Kraken's disappearance".
"Wait!" Usopp interrupted. "So that means we're going to be held as this Kraken guy's slaves!"
"That's right" the man interrupted. "Oh, and I forgot to introduce myself. The name is Hugo, captain of Kraken's Brass Security pirates! And on the ship behind you are his Iron Security pirates! Now enough chitchat, my order is to capture any intruders and bring them to Master Kraken. So-"
"Not a chance!" Zoro interrupted as he drew a sword and slashed it at Hugo, who quickly drew out a blade himself, a spade about only two feet long and eight inches wide. He parried Zoro's sword with this and for a moment, they just stood there, both still. Then Zoro screamed out in pain and dropped to the floor.
"How did you do that!" Nami yelled at Hugo.
"I'd rather not answer that. Let me just say you should obey me now." Then he pulled out a gun and shot the three pirates still standing. The gun shot out a capsule that trapped them in a net, and Hugo took the Going Merry to his master's secret headquarters, not found on any map.
