This is DaStrawHatReject! This story is called One Piece: Pirate Alliance! The Path of Another Road! It's about 25,000 words along-it's more like a movie out of anything. It's about Kano, Dell, Ijin and the rest of the Wolf Fang Pirates (or the Unamed Pirates as 4fireking likes to put it), landing on an island named Iron Glass Town, after braving a treacherous storm. Thalia, Clement and Akimoto won't be in this sadly (though Thalia is mentioned at the end of the story). Yuki-Rin and Thalia went to go solve their 'dilemmas', and the Narrator went along with them. And as for the One Piece Pirate Alliance, I'm almost done writing the chapter. Just need to finishing editing the last part. Anyway, this isn't my works-4fireking wrote all of it. It's really interesting, exciting and tense in some parts. Especially the final battle. Finally, I will be uploading chapters of this almost everyday from today, so, I hope you enjoy this. Enough chitchat! Lemme hand it to my friend and fellow writer, 4fireking!...right after the disclaimer.
Disclaimer: I don't own One Piece.
?: Hello. My name is Daniel. For those of you who follow 4fireking you might know me as the swordsman of the unnamed pirate crew, and son of Smoker. 4fireking started One Piece fanfiction after watching fifty-five episodes of the series, and his stories went from bad, to stolen, to what they are today. A lot of other writers, real writers unlike 4fireking, don't like him. That's why he gave this story to someone else so they could gain some recognition and learn a little more about writing. Of course anybody who can grab a pencil and write a single word is better than 4fireking.
?: As bad as 4fireking is at writing no one was worse than the author of Five Songs for Courage.
Daniel: Thank you, Momo. But if they want real bad books they should read Twilight. I mean a story about a vampire who falls in love with a human is not only cliché but stupid as f***.
Momo: I liked Twilight.
Daniel: I liked it better when it was another story; Dracula. And I liked the wolves in it better when it was called The Wolf Man. It's not even a scary movie
Momo: The scariest movie for me was the Little Mermaid and the French cook chasing the crab.
Daniel: You want real fear? Play F.E.A.R 2 and Bioshock. Those will give you a scare.
Momo: If you want to see real swordsman read the book about the greatest swordsman who ever lived.
Daniel: And don't think you are immortal. Everyone believes they are immortal, but the fact is we don't live as long as they do in anime. There are people even dying when they turn one. Does anyone even read George R. R Martin's books?
Momo: Forgive my friend. Read this book, tell all your friends about it, and then print it so you can read it when your computer is broken. Or for a way to help your writing.
Daniel: But don't expect there to be much writing. This is a 4fireking story after all.
Momo and Daniel: A journey of giant monsters, a great love story, the pain of losing family, and how lift takes more than it gives. This time it is giving you One Piece: Pirate Alliance! The Path of Another Road!
Chapter 1: Enter Ririko Winterpast!
In the fresh oceans of rare and exquisite fish, the mystic talking Toeeto Fish was moving back home after three days of leaving its eggs alone. The Toeeto Fish was big, laid eggs on its own, and was a consistent liar to any bird or animal about to eat it, so when Momo swam down and caught the fish it was sure to lie.
" Wait. I am a genie disguised as a fish. Release me and I shall grant you any wish."
" I wish for you to be my supper."
" Urgh…I'm not very tasty." Momo ignored the fish's protests to pick up a stone and bash it against the fishes head. What happened next was being censored by the writers. " Don't do it…"
We go to our…ahem…heroes and their unlikely pirate alliance. After a last event which ended in separation, the remaining pirates were sailing on a ship made out of animal bones and pig meat: Razi, Kano, Daniel, Dell, Momo, Ijin, Jen, and Jane. Daniel returned with their supper.
" Fish again?" Daniel said irritably. " That's all we had to eat for the last three days. Can't we have something else like corn or steamed rice?"
" Meat sounds good!" Razi and Kano said in unison.
" Maybe we should flip a coin," Ijin said. " Heads: we eat whatever Daniel wants. Tails: We eat meat."
" You can discussing what you are going to eat," Momo said throwing the rare Toeeto Fish onboard. " But I'm the only one who can swim in the water because I'm the only one who didn't eat a damn Devil Fruit."
" It's too bad Thalia isn't here," Kano said. " She could make Momo get her anything."
" Regrettably, she had to leave with Yuki-Rin and Eiza," Razi said, scratching his head with his sharp claws. " Yuki-Rin said she would return with our ships once it was over, but we haven't heard from her since."
" She was angry and stupid at the time losing her sword," Daniel said pointing out what everyone else already knew. " Someone has to make sure she is kept away from townspeople.
Momo climbed over the hundreds of wooden sharp logs paling through the ship. He shook his body like a dog shaking all the water off him, managing to climb aboard the ship.
" Remember, we are sharing this fish," Momo said, looking mostly at Razi and Kano who caused the most mischief on the ship. " I don't want what happened yesterday."
" We were only filling that fish with water," Razi complained.
" I was supposed to sauté it for my Heat Heat Fruit. But I mixed ten degrees with ten thousand degrees. It was a mistake that won't happen again."
" It won't?" Momo said bitterly. " You said that the last time, and I smelled ROOSTED dead pig meat!"
" You didn't!" Kano said denying what he did yesterday.
" Yes you did."
" No I didn't."
" Yes you did."
" No I didn't."
" Yes you did."
" No I didn't."
" Razi, what's nine times two?"
" Eighteen."
" Very good. Fishman Wave Palm Times Eighteen!" Even a master fighter like Kano couldn't react fast enough to the fiery fury of Momo's fishman karate. With even strength to crush eighteen ribs and eighteen organs of a normal person he smacked his hands into Kano. Kano felt another attack pushing him flying back into the mast. Kano went into the mast, and got up unleashing the fire of this Devil Fruit powers .
" Heat Heat Gatling!"
" Not on a boat you dumb son of a—" Before Daniel could finish his sentence Kano's fists already lit up in flames. When he punched Momo he would creating a fiery tornado around him, scathing and burning, but most of all burning the ship. Daniel acted fast, hitting Kano unconscious with his Shirasaya and yelling at Razi.
DUNNNNNNN!
" This is why we should've stayed in Loguetown," Daniel groaned in his tired and anger voice. " Your brother may have been a pervert, but at least none of his girls tries to use fire on a boat—MADE OF MEAT! This whole ship would turn into a grill. And we would be the thing it's burning. What do you have to say about your friend, Razi?"
" Can we eat the fish now?"
Razi was quite the character and so was Kano. What you probably don't know, unless you read One Piece: The All New Straw Hat Pirates, Kano is Monkey D Luffy's grandson. Luffy was executed and Kano wasn't there to see it. The rest of the Straw Hats went into hiding. For years his death killed the dreams of many young boys and girls dreaming of becoming pirates, but some still prospered from his death and looked to find his treasure. Kano, Razi, Razi's brother Himura, Monkey D. Luffy's old rival Fletcher G. Perkman, and a lazy but strong captain of the Blood Pirates Nathan. This is not their story.
There was a forest protected by giant animals and spirits—ghosts who come back to defend the forest from the most evil and violent beings who ever stepped on their soil; men. Once humans tried cutting down the forests, the forest came out covered in white mud and killed half of the men. Those who survived would remember how the animals talked and were terrifying to them.
The humans needed a new weapon to combat the forest and the giant animals. On the birthday of an emperor's daughter she heard about containing bars of pure gold and iron that never rusts. Thinking about how rich that gold would make her and the iron making her weapons she went to the men and gave them a weapon stronger than a cannon but lighter than a rifle. The man won their second battle, but only scaring the giant animals away where they would return as men cut down their trees to move in their digging tools.
Fearful of the animals coming back, the lady fired a man possessing as a monk but really a hunter. The hunter's name was Zaktar. Zaktar was followed by his brother Graven and dozens of other followers carrying their concealed weapons. Zaktar was watching the forest in his canopy and slurping down his brothers cooking.
" What is this? Is it soup or some animals' p***?"
" It's supposed to keep you warm in this hot weather."
" I know what you mean. It's the time between summer and fall when the bugs are out the most. So far two hundreds of those blood suckers went for my ears."
" I'm surprised they didn't go for your face from how its covered in blood."
" This is blood from two days ago. If you smell like a human, the animals will attack you. But if you smell like an animal, they'll think you are one of them and lead you to their homes. Then we blow the b*** up."
Zaktar finished eating everything in his bowl. It was disgusting. It was like eating worms and rocks with bread. He needed all his strength if he wanted to fight in the most popular spot for rare animals to show up.
It was show time. Two large snooted creatures with unspecified gender walked out of the forest. They looked like flightless dragons. Their bodies had scales like snakes and whiskers like catfish. Their tails were covered in yellow fur. They weren't dragons, just some kind of half-breed to keep the forest safe. They walked up to a tree fallen down. The humans cut down this tree for their own selfish purposes.
" Pay close attention," Zaktar said waving his hand for Graven to come watch. " You are about to see the forest guardians work."
The first creature glanced at the fallen tree and the second one had its claws in the tree. When the dragon moved its paw along the tree grass grew out of the inside. The grass was growing everywhere on the tree, and the tree grew back. It was like magic from a ghost repairing the damages evil had done.
" Did that thing just…"—Graven
" This thing is the Ikawshii Spirit. They take the form of half-breeds when they are sad. This is just one of its other two forms: happiness and anger. It will transform seeing a human and we'll all be in trouble."
" Horses charging from the right…moving towards the guardian spirits."
" What?"
Graven let Zaktar borrow his only telescope. Zaktar looked right where Graven was pointing. He didn't see an army of men walking through the forest in their black armor and long staffs with large blades, but a bird moving through the forest. It wasn't flying, using its wings only for temporary gliding, and a boy on its back with hair red as an apple and a rare spot of hair connected to him, brown.
" He's riding a Zazugo bird," said Zaktar. "They're also half-breeds with the bodies of griffons but the legs of a mountain tiger. Not many people ever get close to those birds must yet ride them."
" Why is he here?" Graven said, he took Zaktar's telescope away.
" He must be here to fight the guardians of the forest. Get me my rifle while I look at him anger a god."
" You want to see what the spirits look like when they are angry?"
" No, stupid brother. I want to see them transform. While transforming they cannot do anything. Once we take it to town people will give us lots of money for its head."
The guardian spirits stood together when the Zazugo bird went close to them. The boy unsaddled from the bird, caressing its head to show how thankful he was for the birds help. The bird that allowed no one to capture allowed a seventeen or eighteen year old boy to touch its head, and happy about it.
The boy was wearing a cloak red like his turnip hat. He had peach white pants and sandals. He carried a bow stringed in front of his neck and a sword smaller than the average sword but big enough to slice arrows away and cut down trees. The boy bowed, the bun of his brown hair shaking down as he begged to the forest guardians.
" My name is Ririko Winterpast . I come after the insular agreement between Lady Tadashi and the men who cut down your forests. I do not wish there to be any shed of blood in this war. I must prevent it, but my people are infected and dying from disease in our waters. We will die if we don't drink water but the closest well has been taken from us. I ask you please let me take water back to my village and when the war is over I will never come here again."
Ririko raised his head after begging to the forest guardians. They were not preached by what Ririko said; their eyes only glancing at his weapons. Ririko removed his sword and bow. The guardians were wary for threatening them with his sword. Ririko didn't do that and cut the string in half with his sword. He placed his sword on the ground and kicked it away.
" What is that idiot doing?" Raztar said watching Ririko get rid of the only things to make the forest guardians angry. " There's no money to be made from the happy head."
" Big brother, they haven't turned into their happy forms. They are still in their sad forms. Can we kill them like this?"
" There's also no money to be made from these heads. Our only choice is to wait until he leaves the forest and follow him from there. It must be the Zazugo keeping those animals under control. A horse smells too much like men, but a Zazugo bird can never smell any different with its special feathers. If I can smell like a Zazugo bird the guardians will take me to their mother."
" Mother?"
" You didn't think these are full grown, did you? These are only babies. "
Ririko followed the guardians as they would take them to their water and he would fill his canteens with enough water to help everyone in the village. But as he followed the guardians another animal followed him. The Zazugo bird.
" Don't follow me, Beelia. When this is over I'll come back to find you, I promise." Ririko turned around and walked after the guardians. He heard the sound of something hitting the trees. He turned to the noise, Beelia had her wings stuck between two trees. " I said no! You are not a dog, Beelia. Dogs follow their masters when they say 'no', but you are a Zazugo bird and should stay where you are when I tell you to stay."
Ririko left Beelia to go after the water. She was stuck in the trees and could only wait for Ririko to push her wings out. Meanwhile, Raktar jumped off the lookout, his tall sandals slammed into the ground, and he followed Ririko. Ririko had no idea what was in stores for him.
In the bottom deck of Razi and Kano's ship there was the renegade Skypiean Jane and the sweet but reanimated dead body of Jen. Jane was the only woman on the boat. The first time she was the only woman Razi called her a 'pervert'. It was a wonder why she was cooking a big supper for the ones she hated so much. Jen was studying his map when he stopped to talk to Jane.
" Jane, why didn't you go with the girls when we separated?" Jen asked
" I don't know. Why don't you go dig a grave in the cemetery with the other dead people?" Jane said getting angry.
" I'm sorry. It's just strange to have you around."
" You have five seconds to change what you just said. Five…Four—"
" What I mean to see is, ever since you joined our crew you try to get away from us. You always try to fly or glide away from us. Does this mean you finally opened up to Razi and will try to help him become the King of the Pirates?"
" Hell no. Those two pumpkin heads are going into Marine territory. If they catch us I'll turn you guys in and say I was planning on turning you in all along. With all your bounties I don't have to worry about money for a long time."
" How are you going to turn us in when you too have a bounty?"
" I'll tell them I want to be a Marine."
" I don't think they let pirates become Marines."
" It worked for Jango. That's right, that dumb hypnotist became a Marine. If he can become a Marine anyone can."
" Try to be sweeter to everyone on the crew. These people have big respect for you."
" Maybe it's because I don't look like a broccoli and I'm the one who can cook."
Suddenly, flames ignited from the stairs. Razi ran down the stairs with his hand on fire. Jen screamed and fell off his chair when he saw Razi's hand. But Kano came down and smacked Razi's head, dispersing the flames.
" Razi, I don't like it when you copy my Heat Heat Fruit."
" First he had a glove that cancels a Devil Fruit's powers and now he can absorb other people's powers. Terrific." Jane thought with a not-so terrific grim look on her face. " Dinner will be ready in two hours. Now leave me alone. If you're good…I'll make you both meat."
" Oh boy!"
Jane swore she saw a halo appear on those two boys' heads. It must have been her imagination because halos don't just appear on other people's heads except in dreams and anime. At least she didn't have to talk to Razi or Kano while they bumped shoulders trying to get up the stairs. Everyone was gone except Jen.
" The same goes for you!"
" But I don't need food. I'm dead remember."
Jane picked up her scythe from the knife rack. Jen no longer saw the lazy eyed woman making their supper, but the angry woman bent on scaring Jen. " Get out or I'll slice you so much I can fit the rest of you in a meat pie!"
After seeing her face Jen ran faster than his stepfather Usopp when running away from an enemy. He pushed through Razi and Kano. Razi got up first and ran up the stairs. Kano sat on the ground while rubbing his head. But when he saw the scary face and musty aura of Jane, even the grandson of Monkey D Luffy ran up the stairs.
"Boys."
Razi and Kano loved to eat. So much so they even made up their own times just so they could eat a little more. At the table everyone but Razi, Kano, and Jen were enjoying wan tang soup. Say what you want about Jane, cruel and a b***, but she knew how to cook.
Razi had his mouth full of rice when Kano tried to eat the last sushi. The mouth full Razi stopped him.
" Mnomeeno." Razi said with rich inside his mouth.
" What?" Kano asked.
" Momnomeeno."
" We can't understand you when you talk like that," Daniel said.
Razi gulped down the food in his mouth. He was left with zilch amount. " I said that piece belongs to me."
" No way!" Kano extended his left finger under his left eye and blew his tongue out at Razi.
" Jane, I'm borrowing your powers."
" What?"
Razi already grabbed Jane's arm copying her moves. Kano was going to fight with his Rokushiki.
" Wolf Wolf Electric Nail Gun!"
Razi's nails charged with the same electricity as Jane's moves. He fired his nails out of his fingertips with the same yellow lightning. Kano dodged moving his head right. His rage burned in a vehemence of five thousand degrees.
"Rankyaku: Phonenix Kick!"
Kano used his Geppo to make his body light as paper. He used his light weight to jump high over Razi, and his left leg covered in raging flames. Razi ran to Momo, slapped him in the back, and returned facing Kano.
" Fishman Karate: Sea Turf!"
Razi's arms splashed water. He created a water shield shaped like a semi-sphere. Kano was sucked in the wphere. His eyes turned white and foam came out of his mouth from being in the water. Razi finished his move throwing the sphere with Kano towards the mast.
Razi believed he won after white foam came out of Kano and walked to take his shrimp. Razi didn't even make it to the table when flames roared and Kano unleashed Shigan Gatling Gun pushing Razi. Kano tried taking the shrimp when Razi in his wolf form tackled him. Razi transformed instantly after into his wolf hybrid form. Sweat dripped down Daniel's head looking at the shrimp and back at the boys.
" All this for a stupid piece of f*** shrimp?"
" Let me handle this," Jane said. She threw two pieces of meat that fell in Razi and Kano's hands. The boys gulped them down, instantly they collapsed.
DUNNNN!
" What did you put in their meat?" Daniel asked.
" Just something that will keep them sleeping for days."
" Smooth," Dell said. " I didn't even think it was possible to knock the dummy out."
" Or his friend," Ijin said. " You know what they say: even dummies need friends."
" You guys!" Jen ran up to the group waving his device around. " My weather radar is picking up a big storm coming this way."
" A big storm?" Momo said. " But the weather out here is beautiful."
" It won't be when a massive tidal wave comes in and sinks this ship," Jen said checking his radar.
" Okay," Dell said. " If Jen thinks there's going to be a storm than we better get moving away from it."
"First…I'm going to ask all of you to give me your weapons," Jen said.
" What for?" Momo asked.
" Well, in case things go horribly wrong and one of us is knocked out of the boat…(foreshadowing) I want to make sure their weapons are safe."
" Wouldn't the weapons be in safer hands if we held onto them?" Daniel asked.
" Well, everyone is going to be pulling on the riggings and one of us has to be at the helm at all times…it's the kind of thing we have to take extra precautions for."
Jen ran back to the bottom of the ship and ran up with a net and tape. Jen put the guns inside the net and carried them to the rest of the group. He started with Daniel.
" Daniel, please put your swords inside the net."
Daniel groaned in anger when he had to put his swords in the net. He gave Jen two, but Jen knew he had three swords. Daniel groaned again when he had to put his third sword in the net.
" If I don't get my swords back I'm kicking your a**."
Jen walked up to Jane. She had her scythe on her back at all times. He made her give him the scythe. The next person he walked to was Dell. He gave him his axe.
" And the other one."
Dell grittily took out his second axe and threw it to Jen. Jen caught the axe and put it inside his net. Momo gave him his metal pipe. Jen had every weapon on the crew. He carried the bag downstairs.
" Wait," Jane said. " Where are you putting those things?"
" I can't tell you that," Jen said. " It has to be a secret until we are out of his storm."
The moment Jen said that thunder crack in the sky and the gale blew strong against the ship. They were in for a storm up ahead. Daniel took out a cigar from his case and lit himself a big one. Jane was creating nervous static from her body afraid of water dripping on her electric body. Ijin accidentally released a gravity field sinking his own feet through the boards. Momo grabbed the sleeping Razi and Kano like logs and carried them downstairs.
The only one still outside was Dell. He had an itch that was telling him whatever was coming would be worse than any storm his crew ever went through.
Surviving was the challenge, keeping everyone onboard was the mission.
