Stardust Flash
AKA the AU where Yusei became an independent pirate.
"Why does our luck have to be so bad...?"
The Admirals and Vice-Admirals present just stared at the retiring Sengoku lamenting the misfortune of the Navy in general.
"Is he alright?" Garp turned to Tsuru.
"It's Shooting Star again," the Grand Strategist answered, setting down her teacup. "I suppose that man refused? We would've had a reliable ally..."
"No..." Sengoku sighed. "It's worse. Vice-Admiral Smoker just reported that that man is joining the Strawhat-Heart alliance. I just got his resignation after Punk Hazard got sunk into the ocean, Messiah Draconis is joining the Revolutionary Army. I just got around to convincing him that being part of the Shichibukai would protect more people..."
"They're en route to Dressrosa," the current Fleet Admiral snapped. "We'll stop them right. Fujitora, you go. Sorry for making you do this."
"How sad," the new Admiral code-named Fujitora commented. "Shooting Star would have made a wonderful Marine."
"Which one is crazier," Trafalgar Law opened, "the crazy one, or the one who's enabling those crazy plans?"
"Yusei! Do that Tuning thing again!" Aboard the Sunny, Luffy howled. "I wanna fight that dragon!"
"I'm flattered, Luffy-san," the mysterious captain of the Shooting Star Pirates refused. "But we should have breakfast first before discussing combat of any sort."
"Awesome! I'm hungry. Sanji, meat!" Luffy paused on his way to the kitchen. "Oh right, Yusei! Have you seen Ace around?"
"He stills owes me a favour, so I sent him fishing."
"A Devil Fruit user, fishing?" Zoro scoffed from his practice. "Are you trying to kill him?"
"Oh, he'll manage."
"Will you be alright?" Robin looked concerned. "You do have a kingdom to look after, Yusei. Dressrosa was looking into an alliance with Messiah Draconis, wasn't that so?"
"That's Doflamingo's excuse to kill me by planting an assassin," Yusei shortly replied. "I might not have met all of them, but the thought makes me sick. Especially Baby 5..."
"No..." Law shuddered. "I think for once, Doflamingo was really looking out for her interests."
"I'm not receiving any marriage proposals."
Somewhere on Dressrosa, a maid fainted with a broken heart.
"Oi, Yusei," Luffy called from the kitchen. "Breakfast!"
"The selfish captain is sharing his food...?" Sanji ran out, grabbing the lapels of a dark blue jacket. "Visit more often!"
"No!" Luffy shouted. "Yusei's going to be one of us!"
"Shooting Star is-"
"I don't mind," the man in question said, looking up. "It's just that my subordinates might have something to say about that."
Just in time, Luffy got a kick in the face from a red boot. "Don't you dare drag him along, Strawhat!"
From the deck of the Sunny, Yusei chuckled, watching the sun rise over the seas.
"Ah, I'm going overboard!" Luffy fell.
Yusei reached out a hand.
Looks like Yusei's destiny in this world is linked with the Strawhat Pirates... Please review!
