U-uh herro dere -fidgets- Nice to meet you \O^O
Time to post my first fanfic for all of you
It's for the series I've been following the longest (not my first though) and omigawd Zoro is so damn fiiiiiine OcO
Umm I don't own One Piece which rightfully belongs to Oda-sensei. Arigato!
From the first moment I saw you
I didn't like you
Your calm, your strong will, your clear eyes
I didn't like how focused your gaze was
I didn't like the steadiness of the words you spoke
I don't like you, but I'm drawn to you
+A Hostile Welcome+
"Naaaami... Are we there yet?"
That was the question on all of the pirates minds and that Luffy's been asking for the past few days. It's been nearly a week and a half since they've seen an island and the food supply is almost nothing. Thanks to a certain individual that has a bottomless pit for a stomach. To make matters a bit worse, the weather has been going out of control like always. One moment the sun is out with no clouds in the sky. A few minutes later it's a freezing down pour. Thankfully, they were in the calm waters now. There was a steady wind, but the nights were quite cold. Not cold enough for it to be a winter island.
"We should be close to an island soon," Nami said. "As long as this wind stays we'll arrive at the next island before nightfall."
"Woohoo! Sanji! Bring out the food~!"
"You dumbass!" The chef shouted, kicking him in the face. "You're the idiot that ate all our damn food!"
"Stop shouting when people are trying to sleep here!"
"You say something marimo bastard?"
"Stop shouting damn ero-cook."
Nami just about lost it hitting the three idiots in the head. "All of you shut up!"
"Y-yesh ma'am..."
"Jeez you're all children. Stop fooling around and prepare the ship."
The pirates went their separate ways to get the ship ready to dock. After all the craziness that happened on the Sky Island, the Davy Back fight with the Foxy Pirates, meeting one of the three admirals, everyone seemed to be on edge. So far, only three of their members have bounties, but the Straw Hats have made plenty of enemies and are on the top of the watch list.
"I don't like this..."
"Something wrong Nami-san?"
"Oh Robin. Well it's just... I've got a bad feeling. There's way too much going on now. It's almost unreal."
"This is the real world. The tranquility is merely a facade of the dangers hidden underneath."
Nami shivered, not from the cold. "Do you always say scary things?"
"But that is the truth. We shouldn't be expecting all the nice things to stay nice. Am I right Nami-san?"
The navigator didn't say anything, know she was right. She seen herself when people put on the "nice" mask to hide their true nature. There are times she still questions herself why she joined up with the pirates.
"Guys! There's an island!"
Everyone was at the front of the ship at Chopper's shout. Still a bit a ways was a large island that looking like a spiral shell. On the left was what looked to be a smaller island that was billowing smoke. The 3 morons, Luffy, Usopp and Chopper, were already getting excited. This island looked normal enough, but there was a strange vibe around it.
"Island! Island! Island! Let's go to the island!"
"Calm down Luffy! We don't know what's here."
"It's okay Nami. Whatever is up ahead we'll be okay."
"Saying that doesn't make anything better!"
Luffy started running around the ship, trying to get everyone's spirits up while ignoring Nami's rants. The wind was a bit colder yet the ocean stayed steady. From the looks of it, the island is an autumn island with the trees vibrant shades of orange, yellow, and red. Though as pretty as it seemed, it also looked haunting. Nami noticed there were walls with barbed fencing on the second and third level where pristine houses were. The bottom level looked dirty and the houses uncared for.
"Islandislandislandislandislandisland! Hurry up and take us to the island Nami!"
"Luffy I swear one of these days..."
"Nami-san there are docks over there that look empty. It would seem safer to land there."
Nami followed Robin's finger towards the left side of the island where an old fishing harbor sat. She looked around a little more, noticing a bridge that was connecting the bigger island to the smaller one. She also saw huge pipes under the bridge that had steaming escaping from some cracks. She was starting to get a little curious.
With the help of the wind and Nami's guidance, the Merry Go made it safely to the docks. The few other ships that were there looked like someone had taken them apart for scrap. They were just skeletons now, adding more eeriness to the island. Before Luffy managed to jump off, Nami quickly grabbed him by the collar and pulled him back.
"We are here to stock our supplies and find out how long it takes for the log to set. That means no wandering off."
"But Naaaami! It's a new island and I smell adventure!"
"And I smell danger so shut up! Anyway we should come back to the ship when it gets dark just to be on the safe side."
"Awww but I wanna go camping!"
"We. Are. Not."
Luffy feel quiet at the death glare from Nami and everyone gathered their things. Nami isn't the only one feeling uneasy about the island. Zoro is too. Something in the pit of his stomach is making him tense. It did tick him off a bit that Luffy was acting so careless even though he was almost frozen to death. That's part of the reason when he's tense. And the other is the stupid island they've reached. He was the last one to leave the ship, jumping down from the railing and landing with ease on the harbor. The wooden boards creaked a little from the impact. He took a moment to look around. No one in sight. The town seemed dead. Broken wooden crates were scattered about. There were a couple of mangy dogs fighting over a piece of meat. The buildings made of some sort of stone looked crumbled. Zoro glanced up, seeing the wall surround the second and third level. He doesn't like this place.
"Helloooooo? Anyone here?!"
"L-L-Luffy not so loud," Usopp stuttered, hiding behind his captain. "There might be man eating monsters hiding or blood thirsty thieves lurking."
"There isn't anyone here. How boring."
"Guess again dumbass."
The pirates all turned to their right, coming face to face with a little over 20 people all wearing black suits except for one that was wearing a white suit. Nami, Usopp and Chopper all scrambled away, hiding behind the other four. Luffy just stared at the people with a finger up his nose.
"Who're you guys?"
"The exterminators to get you filthy pirate pests of this island. Why don't you save us the time and scram."
"Nope."
The white suit guy clenched his jaw. "It's you pieces of shit that makes this world unclean."
He nodded to the two guys around him and they advanced towards Luffy, each pulling out a pair of tonfa. Both Sanji and Zoro stepped in front of him, ready to attacked as the two suits charged them. But it wasn't the cook or the swordsman that stopped them. The was a loud clang when the tonfa came into contact with something metal that were two swords crossing over each other in an X formation. Everyone stood stunned at the two new arrivals, both with short navy blue hair. They were facing the suits, their arms not budging an inch. The tonfa wielding suits backed off a little, but the two before the pirates didn't move.
"Well well well if it isn't everyone's favorite fucking set of twins. What are you doing here?"
"Shouldn't we be asking you that?" the one on the right spoke, a girl with a smooth tone.
"This area doesn't belong to scum like you two."
"Nor does it belong to assholes like you," the one on the left spoke, a husky voiced guy.
Again the white suit clenched his jaw. "You fucking punks better watch your back."
He turned away, calling the tonfa wielders back and left with the rest. The "twins" waited until they were gone completely before sheathing their swords and face the pirates. Luffy's jaw dropped in awe and everyone else just stared. There are in fact twins, identical twins with bright mint green eyes and bandages wrapped around the foreheads. The girl had a pair of black tinted goggles around her neck and the guy's were on his head. Under the girls left eye is a small tattoo of a triskele and her twin has the some marking under his right eye.
"Are you guys alright?" they asked together.
"You guys are so cool looking!" Luffy exclaimed with wide eyes.
The twins looked at each other, then back at the pirates. The boy spoke. "Good to know you aren't hurt. My name is Raiu by the way. And this is my sister Yun. Resident here on Steam Peak."
The girl only nodded.
"You guys are pirates right?"
"Yup! My name is Monkey D. Luffy and I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!"
"You don't say?"
"U-um excuse me," Nami said from behind Robin. "What was with those guys?"
"Pay no attention to them. They were-"
"Looks like your ships need some repairs." Everyone looked over at Yun when she spoke. "Raiu and I can do that for you."
"Are you guys shipwrights?! Join my crew!"
"No no Yun and I are mechanics. But we can discuss that later. Let's get you to our place and away from here."
Raiu went first and lead the pirates towards the bridge. Yun stayed in the back, keeping her head slightly down. She's like a ghost, her presence barely there and it was the same with her brother. Zoro kept a steady hand on one of his swords, glancing over his shoulder to look at the girl. She seemed lost in her own world, paying no attention to anything.
"So what do you guys make? Can you make a robot? How about a flying ship?"
"Slow down kid. We don't make anything like robots or flying ships."
"You guys suck."
"Aren't you a mean one..."
"Raiu-san how much will this cost?" Nami asked.
"How much hmm? What do you think Yun?"
She looked up, her face deadpan. "Nothing. Make them pay a small fee for staying at our place and we'll use that for whatever supplies we can get here."
"It surprises me that you can me smart sometimes sis."
She just glared at him and said nothing. Raiu went back to talking with Luffy, Usopp and Chopper about what they do as the crossed the bridge. The sun was dipping lower into the horizon, turning the ocean a bright ruby color, matching quite well with the leaves. The hissing of steam grew louder as the group got closer to the other island. There was an opening before them with some stairs, leading up to a large clearing that had small boiling pools and many piles filled with junk. Just up ahead were two buildings. The left one was bigger than the right one and it looked more like a shop.
"And we use the steam to power certain mechanics on the other island like saunas and running water and heat and fans," Raiu explained as he lead the pirates into the house on the right. "Basically everything here runs on steam power from machines that our foster father Axely built with his father and many others before him."
"All the buildings on the other island run on steam?" Robin questioned Raiu.
"Well most of them do. So! Shall we discuss business now?"
That wasn't so bad right? Right anyone? -crickets- \TxT
I'm surprise how long the chapter came to be...
