INTRODUCTION
There once was a man named Gold Roger, who was king of the pirates. He had fame, power and wealth beyond your wildest dream.
Before they hung him from the gallows, these were the finale words he said "my fortune is yours for the taking, but you'll have to find it first. I left everything I own in one piece."
Since then pirates from all over the world set sail for the Grand Line searching for One Piece the treasure that would make their dreams come true. And that's when the "Great Pirate Era" began.
You're probably thinking this story is about Gold Roger and the Monkey D. family, in fact it is. But with some little additions on my part. This story takes place 22 years after Gold Roger's execution.
CHAPTER .I
The Whitebeard pirates.
Taking care of the stranger!
"COMMANDER!" shouted the man on watch. After hearing one of his men scream his name the commander of the second division rushed to the bottom of the mast. "What is it?" asked said commander only screaming a bit for them to hear. "SHIP! Ship at 9o'clock… it doesn't look like a battleship… although I can't exactly tell with this dense fog! No wait… it looks more like a pirate ship." concluded the man.
While the crew was examining the other ship the commander had had enough time to get to the top of the mast and was now waiting for the current watchman of his division of the Whitebeard pirate to confirm his suspicion. After informing his captain, paced out for a small gap of time. 'Chikusho (1)! Now of all times. We're so totally in deep shit.' Though the 20 years old.
"WAIT! W-what an explosion! What's happening there for oyaji's (2) sake!" asked the surprised pirate. "Maybe it's a fight! I'll go and take a look. Don't do anything reckless in my absence." 'Look who's talking taicho (3).' thought the man, almost not believing what his idiotic captain had just said while sweat drop.
After realizing what his commander was about to do, he immediately tried to think of a good argument to make him come back. But unfortunately it didn't work, not one bit in fact. "B-but taichou. It's dangerous!" tried the man. "So what? It's for oyaji's safety! Who cares what happens to me as long as oyaji is safe." said the determined reckless pirate.
"ACE-TAICHO! YOU CAN"T GO! WHAT IF YOU FALL AND DROWN!" asked the completely startled man.
*ACE'S P.O.V*
"ACE-TAICHO! YOU CAN"T GO! WHAT IF YOU FALL AND DROWN!" was the last thing I heard one of my men scream. Before I knew it I had reached what had been a battle field minutes ago.
As I looked around and examined the pieces of the broken boat I remarked they were pretty big, 'Must have been a galleon. They must have had quite some reputation. Getting to the New World is harder than it would look and having a galleon here is rare!'
At that exact moment I heard it, a scream, I boosted my small boat to the direction of the scream. What I found was an unsettling sight. There was a half dead man supporting, himself and unconscious woman, on a shattered, piece of wood. "H-help! We're devil fruits users! Please. Please take care of Haruno-sama. Unfortunately I won't be able t-to make it. I-I was shot in the stomach!" explained the dying man while he was coughing blood.
Devil fruits were from time to time a drag. They may be able to give you a power after you eat them, but after the first bite, it's just a disgusting weird colored fruit with lots of swirls. There's also the fact you become a hammer in the water. For instance, you can have a strong and fearsome person or enemy, but throw them in the ocean and you'll never see them again, they'll just drown.
As ossan (4) gave me the young girl he was holding on to for dear life, I thanked him and promised to take care of her in his place as he had demand. I then made sure to see if there was one last possibility to save him, but with none, his fate had been sealed. After leaving the man, I started heading back to the Moby Dick.
I looked around, I had arrived at the deck of the Moby Dick and it wasn't all that much pleasant! With many of the crew members staring at the teenage girl in my arms. Especially Izou since he wouldn't stop asking why was I holding an unconscious woman. 'Got some luck this isn't Thatch. I would never live it down.' I was still looking for Jozu until I found him. He was talking to Vista and he looked absolutely annoyed. 'Well I'll go all for all. I just hope I'm wrong.' I thought hoping that Jozu wasn't for real annoyed. "JOZU!" I screamed to my brother as I approached. "What is it?" he responded almost immediately, after turning around totally pissed. 'Shit! Someone pissed him off again. I bet my hand - even if it's impossible to cut me – that the responsible were, Haruta and Vista… again. Well, we'll just have to hope he doesn't transform!' I thought.
The worst thing possible right now is if Jozu transforms. He being made out of diamond, would damage the ship if something bad happened. And I certainly don't want to work on repairing a broken ship while I'm resting from my chase after Teach and gathering information of his whereabouts. Marshall , the bastard had broken the biggest rule among the Whitebeard pirates. He had killed his own nakama (5) – Thatch – and fled, that coward. Now he passed himself as Blackbeard. Devil fruit can be problematic in many ways.
"Um… have you seen Marco by any chance? I need some help with her." I said a bit nervous while showing him the sleeping girl I was holding bridle style.
"Marco is probably in oyaji's room talking about the troubles the marines are causing again. I wouldn't go interrupt them; It seemed to be important by the way Marco put it, and confidential." Jozu informed me. 'The marines again, If it's not Garp it will be the admirals. They just seem to never stop tracking us.'
"Hey Ace! Yoi." someone called from behind. "Huh?" I said dumbstruck as I turned around. "Marco I was looking for you! Great!" I said happy not having to search for him or disrupt his and oyaji's conversation.
"You see, I need help. This girl's got some high fever. Come with me and help me!" I explain grinning. "Yoi ok ok. Let's put her in our room then. I'll go and inform oyaji about her presence ok?" "Yeah sure, if you say so." we agreed. "But first do you know her name?" asked the first fleet commander. "All I know is that her last name is Haruno and she seemed to be really respected by the crew there." I blurted out.
I walked back to my room which was situated in one of the 4 dorms for commanders. In our main ship Moby Dick, there are six different quarters. The first was for oyaji our father and captain, four of them are then for the captains of the six-teen fleets, all by order of position. From the first to the fourth in the second dorm, five to nine in the third dorm, ten till fourteen are in dorm four and finally fifteen and sixteen in dorm five.
Each room constituted of two beds – two commanders per room –, a desk and a wardrobe which was enough big for the possessions of both occupants. Obviously the last dorm was for all the crew members of each division.
I walked inside the room that belonged to Marco and me and looked around. 'As messy as ever with all those blankets on the floor. Marco should really clean up in here.' I thought while observing the cabin where my friend and I rested in.
*MARCO'S P.O.V*
As I was walking through the deck I saw numerous crew members and commanders screaming out orders as if we were going to battle. If that were actually what was happening, I'd have been the first to be informed.
And so, I stopped dead in my tracks and turned to a random worker. "What's happening here?" I questioned looking around. The man stopped his work to face me "Marco-taicho your joking right?" I was still puzzled and so I asked a second time a bit more irritated "I asked you a question so, no I'm not joking. For the last time, what's happening here?" "Well t-to put it simply … um-" "Just spit it out already!" I interjected slowly losing my patience. "We're under attack by the marines… and Garp!"
I stood there, shocked at first and then I realized the situation 'Garp! That's the great marine hero who won't stop coming here and to try taking oyaji's head. That old man is coming here again!' "YOI you're joking right! You're mocking me, tell me so!" the man was there terrified of the power leaking out of me. "N-no. Gomen (6) I'm not taicho. Apparently it's because he thinks or he was informed t-that we are concealing some woman named Sakura. Haruno Sakura." he finished still trembling 'HARUNO!'
(1) chikusho – damn it
(2) oyaji – pops
(3) taicho – captain
(4) ossan – uncle
