Chapter 1: 1st day of school
I stepped aboard the double-decker bus with Yuki following close behind.
*Sigh* School… my least favourite part of life itself.
I guess I should introduce myself. My name is Akane, I have a last name too but I wish not to be associated with it, I'm 16 years old and today I'm starting a new school along with my cousin Yuki. Yuki is 1 month older than me being March born and me being April born but I beat her in height by at least 10cm being 177cm myself. We have a love hate relationship. Don't get me wrong though, I love her as a cousin and friend but were always competing to see who is the stronger, which I don't see the point in seeing I'm obviously stronger than her.
Another cousin of mine and good childhood friend of Yuki goes to this school so we thought we might as well try it out. 'Pyrat high' is probably your average everyday high school to the world government. That's what they think. Pyrat high is located on the notorious 'Hush-Hush Island'. Hush-Hush is known to never release a secret of the island; it's the silent law around here. Here they do all sorts of activities that the government and marines are all blinded of. Piracy, learning of poneglyphs, illegal trade, this place has it all. You see Pyrat high is actually a somewhat messed up private school dedicated to the teaching of young, future pirates heading to find the One Piece where the students rule the school.
Yuki and I aren't planning on finding the One Piece though, we made a promise with each other we'll let a friend of ours do it. Besides, Yuki just wants to prove to the world that she can be a powerful pirate without the help of her father red hair Shanks' name. Yuki doesn't have an exact goal like I do. I wish to become a Yonko. Prove to people that I'm not a defenceless little girl, that I can rival the pirate king.
Then again. I have some big competition to face, but I'm confident in my physical abilities and my devil fruit! Yuki and I may hold paramecia devil fruits but together we hold the power of a logia devil fruit.
The bus was huge, fitting roughly 200 students but still pretty crowded, as you'd expect from one of the only bus of the school. I looked around and saw no familiar faces. They all looked like your average future pirates, rough but with no real strength. Upper deck. That's where they held the stronger crews. I flipped through my level book; this book contained everyone on the islands apparent pirate level. Flipping through the contents, each page has a higher level than the previous page I come upon Yuki and my selves level near the halfway point of the contents. 99. Each. Oh it pissed us all right, 1 more level point and we would have been supernovas. But that didn't matter right now. I flipped to the next page containing a full double spread of the supernovas. They must be the one's upstairs.
I poked my head through the hole that connected the upper and lower deck. There were about 100 of them on the upper level but there were 11 very prominent figures lining the back rows of the bus. Bingo, the supernovas. I strolled through the isle ignoring the stares I was receiving. I put my hand in front of Yuki and she placed a pistol in my hand. BANG! BANG! BANG! 3 shots, 1 to each of his shoulders and 1 to his chest.
Luffy stood up and reflected the bullets I sent his way. By now Yuki and I were receiving all eyes on deck and a few gasps coming from the spectators. "Shishishishishi!" The familiar laugh of my cousin was heard throughout the floor.
"Akane! Yuki!" he roared right before pouncing on top of us in big bear hug. It seems he recognized the secret greeting we agreed on for him many years back. "Hi Luffy!" Yuki cheered back. I groaned and slid out from under their embrace. "What are you doing here?" he asked after he noticed me escaping his death grip. "Ugh, dammit Luffy, you forgot already?!" My raspy voice Exclaimed dripping with venom. Yuki stepped in to explain to Luffy why we were here, again. "Luffy, we had already told you we were transferring to Pyrat high 14 times already, it's because Akane got us expelled from our previous school an you sugested that this would be a better fit for people planning to become pirates." " Don't state it out loud" I hissed and reached for the knife in my pocket. I attempted to stab her back but was stopped by a wall of cloud. Damn her fuyu-fuyu no mi! (Winter-winter).
The bus came to a stop "FINAL STOP PYRAT HIGH!" voiced the driver. I took a hold of Yuki's shoulder and fell through the floor to the bottom of the bus and ran for the school gates. I didn't want to be late to checking in, otherwise word might spread that there's a newbie and I am far too familiar the newbie pranking system often being on the receiving end and sometimes being the culprit as well.
Yuki POV
Boarding the bus was interesting, I could hear the talking and laughter coming from inside. Following close behind Akane. The isle was narrow so all I could really see was Akane's backside, so I decided to examine and compare, another one of my pastimes.
Bright Scarlet hair that is scruffy yet stylish falling just above her shoulders with her signature orange headband that I knew consisted of 3 silver shuriken on the front compared to my silky, strawberry waves that was tied in a high ponytail reaching down to my elbows and ombre white ends. She was wearing a white t-shirt with a checkerboard pattern that wrapped around her stomach with a sleeveless orange hoodie, blue ripped denim short shorts and orangey-red high-top converse. I on the other hand sported a white tank top with a dark blue scarf wrapping around my neck with a dark blue mini skirt on top of a pair of white leggings topped off with a pair of pale blue wedges. It always made me feel a little better knowing that Akane went for a really tomboyish look whilst I stayed with simple but stylish. I found it a tiny bit funny when we both would like a boy secretly and he would tend to choose me or some other random girl. Akane, unsurprisingly, has never had a guy like her in a romantic form.
Akane started to climb the stairs so I followed suite. She was walking down the isle when she came to a stop. She brought her hand back towards me and I took that as a sign to pass her the pistol. I heard 3 loud bangs and some laughing then got ready for the impact of one of Luffy's famous hugs.
After the embrace I explained to Luffy why we were here once again. I think I may have said a little too much as I sensed another one of Akane's attacks luckily thanks to my kenbunshoku haki. I quickly blocked it though using one of my snow clouds and was contempt when I heard a sigh of defeat.
The bus came to a halt and once I heard the bus driver declare our stop I felt the strong grip of Akane's hand on my shoulder and I prepared for the uneasiness. We dropped through the floor and ran out the bus towards the school office. When Akane used her powers on me it always sent chills through my body.
Hope you enjoy the chapter guys! I couldn't decide what rating to give it so just to be safe I made it T. This is also my very first story so constructive criticism will be very much appreciated! Some of the characters I have in this story will often be a reference to other sources so lets see if you can pick them up?
