Hey guys I've decided to post a few things to prove I'm not dead and to show what I've been working on for the past few months, I still plan on continuing my other fictions but I've yet to build up a big enough reserve of chapters or plan far enough ahead, in them to continue posting so, for now, they are still on hold until I find time between life and my college work.
Ok, this is my first one piece fanfic so give me some credit, I will be posting one chapter for every arc, I will be skipping some of the smaller arcs and mainly be sticking to the main storyline.
Basically what I have done is add my OC into the mix of the Epic story that is one piece, you'll see what I mean as I read, I have reworked some parts to incorporate my OC, he has his own past and has already met some of the characters that come in later on so it should be interesting when those parts come up, so far I have planned up till little garden and I've written to the end of the Baratie arc.
There will be romance, Action, comedy, Tears, Lemons, love triangle between, OCxNamixRobin, and other pairings throughout the fiction, I will also be incorporating a 2nd OC designed by grimmreapper90, who has been my advisor throughout this fic's planning and writing, along with my others, so I couldn't not mention him, the man is a genius when it comes to fanfictions, and his work is awesome definitely check him out, he has a Once piece fic in the works but not yet posted, but I have read his work and its brilliant, definitely check his stuff out.
So without further ado, I give you One Piece: The Fourth Brother
Edited notes: Chapter edited on 06/09/17- minor fixes made to the overall chapter, nothing major.
Chapter 1
In the midst of a vast ocean, waves crash against a cruising ship as two crewmen were relaxing at the front of the ship as the sun's rays beat down on them. Suddenly they hear something clatter against the ships hull. They lean over the edge to see two barrel floating in the water. The two grin to each other as they grab a line of rope and a hook each and starts fishing for them.
On the third toss one of the sailors' pants hard after missing, his fellow sailor pats him on the back.
"Strike three, man. Here let me show you how it's done," he says as he takes the hook in hand and makes another attempt only for it to miss again.
Another sailor calls down from the crow's nest, "Man you suck. Remind me not to fall overboard with you on watch, ha-ha!" but he stops laughing when he sees something on the horizon. A small island attracts his attention and he looks at it intently. Even when he hears' the cheers on deck from his crewmates latching onto the second barrel and pull them on board.
"Huh? They're so heavy." one sailor grunts as he lifts it up.
"It's got to be full of sake!" grinned the second sailor.
"Well it's our sake now," the first sailor grins back.
"Ha-ha, I'm not sharing my half." laughs the second.
The two sailors cheered as they hoisted them onto the deck, but their celebrations were soon cut short when the sailor in the crows' nest sounds the alarm.
"Ship off the starboard bow! It's flying a pirate flag, we have a pirate ship in pursuit, enemy raid! Enemy raid!" he called down alerting all on board.
The two sailors hearing this dropped the barrels on deck and ran to warn the captain as the pirate ship opened fire. The shots were either poorly aimed or aimed to miss as they hit the ocean around the ship not damaging it at all. The resulting impacts caused the ship to lurch to the left making the barrels on the deck roll to, and down, the steps down to the lower levels of the ship then through the corridor and crash through a set of double doors leading them by fate to the ship's kitchen.
On the pirate ship, a very gruff feminine voice yells "FIRE!" as the men below deck let loose another volley of cannon balls. One actually hit the mark and destroyed the ship's figurehead and the rest causing the ship to stay stationary.
On deck, the rest of the crew is beginning to assemble as a woman with black hair and a white hat with a red feather on it calls out. "COBY!"
A small scrawny looking boy with a large forehead, pink hair in a curtain fringe and big glasses, wearing a white shirt with navy stripes, stands nervously gulping before answering her.
"Y-Yes" he stutters out obviously afraid.
"Who is the most beautiful of all on these seas?" the woman asks with a snotty tone.
"The captain of the ship it's you, Miss Alvida!" the boy, Coby, replies rubbing the back of his head trying and failing, not to seem nervous.
"Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!" the woman lets out a hardy laugh as she leans on her club. She was a short, very wide woman, completely grotesque wearing wide white shorts, short legs with a pistol tucked in her purple sash and pink checker shirt and a red neck tie and a blue captain's coat, her arms and fingers were bulky as she wore rings on each finger with different gems, and the thick spiky iron club as a walking-stick, "Good answer!"
"Thank you," Coby spoke his voice shaking.
"Miss Alvida! We got a good quarry this time." One of the crew spoke up with a grin on his face.
"That's right! So let's make it count. Show them why we're the most feared pirates on the sea!" Alvida barked out as the front cannon opened fire. Its aim was true at it destroyed the back mast of the ship as the top half of it crashed into the ocean, the pirate ship came about the cruise ship's starboard side.
On cue, grappling hooks were tossed and the latched onto the victim ship, creating rope walkways for the pirates to charge. As Alvida calls the attack.
Coby shakes on deck as the rest of the pirate charge up the ropes, he mistakenly catches Alvida's gaze.
"COBY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Alvida yells as she walks toward the young boy.
"Ah, it's just I'm not very good at this," Coby says looking at the rope in his shaking hands.
"Ha, you're telling me." Alvida says lifting her club in hand, "Maybe it's because you're back talking me all the time?"
"Oh no not the club anything but the club please!" Coby begs as he sees the massive spiked iron club.
"Then get MOVING!" Alvida yells planting her foot into Coby and somehow sending him over the gap and landing him on the ship.
Coby hits a wall on the ship and sinks to the ground groaning as he gets up but has to quickly move as Alvida follows him crashing through the wall Coby had just hit seconds before.
Coby quickly makes his way below deck to avoid all the fighting above. He peeks his head through an open doorway as he looks around.
"Hello~", he asks not hoping to get a response. Quickly, he steps inside seeing it's the kitchen, although half of it is trashed as the barrels had crashed into a table spilling all the food onto the floor, "I really hope no one's in here".
Coby makes his way over to the barrels as he begins to hoist one onto its end. He was going for the second when the door opens and three of Alvida's crew come in smirking.
"Well if it isn't our favourite little coward. You trying to duck in here and hide from all the action again?" one of them asks looking at Coby like he was a joke.
"Ah no, I was just about to lug this barrel of sake up top for the haul is all," Coby responds as he thought of his cover excuse on the spot.
"Ah, here let us lighten the load for ya", "Yeah I was just starting to get thirsty," the other two pirates said as they pull the barrel over much to Coby's protests.
"No, you can't! Lady Alvida will kill us if she finds out!" Coby says in fear his voice shaking.
"She won't if you keep your trap shut got it!" one of the pirates hissed.
Coby nods fearing what will happen if he protests anymore as he goes over to lift the other barrel on its end.
"Hang on boys I'll open her the old fashioned way." one of the pirated grinned as he cracked his knuckles and raised his fist high about to bust the barrel's top with a single blow.
Coby looks over just in time to see the pirate's fist come down, but not before the barrel's top end exploded outward as two fists came out of it. They slugged the large pirate in his chin knocking him back and he hit the floor out cold with the blow. Seconds later a straw hat and head with black hair burst out after them.
"I SLEPT SO GREAT!" the owner of the hat, and fists, yelled.
The other two pirates looked at the scrawny kid who had just knocked out their buddy, their faces were full of shock and awe seeing him. He didn't look like he could pack a punch like that.
The kid in front of them was thin and lanky he had a toned body but not much muscle he had messy black hair and a scar under his left eye, wearing a red vest top and a pair of blue shorts.
"Who the hell are you guys?" the boy asked, as he got out of the barrel.
"WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?!" the pirates screamed.
"Your friend will catch a cold sleeping on the floor." The boy said as he dusted himself off not even noticing the pirates were getting really pissed off.
"WHO DO YOU THINK KNOCKED HIM OUT?!" the pirates screamed again before pointing their swords at him.
"Who do you think you are, bastard?" one of them snapped.
The boy completely ignored them turning to Coby "I'm starving. You know where the food is kid?" he asked Coby
"DON'T IGNORE US!" the pirates screamed as they brought their swords down on the boy, causing Coby to scream, and cover his eyes.
The boy didn't even flinch as the swords fell, and in an instant, the swords broke and the two ends stuck to the ceiling. Both pirates fell back, eyes wide with fear. The boy looked at them both before asking "What the heck's the matter with you two?" like they hadn't just tried to kill him.
Both just stared in fright before they asked: "W-who are you?"
He just smiled as he crossed his arms together. "Me? I'm Monkey D. Luffy. Hi." The now named Luffy said with a grin before the pirates grabbed their unconscious shipmate and fled as fast as they could.
"Shishishishi." Luffy laughed before looking at Coby. "Those guys are funny. Anyway, what's your name kid?"
Coby just stared at Luffy in awe before he snapped out of it and answered "C-C-C-Coby".
"Great, so where's the food?" Luffy asked looking around the room and frowned seeing a mess of food on the floor before shaking his head, "What a waste"
Coby looks at him with awe before pointing to a door getting Luffy to smile as he walked over and looks inside and lets out a yell. "YAY APPLES!" Luffy quickly turned and ran over to the second barrel and knocking on its top.
"You gonna get up sometime today?" Luffy calls getting a questioning look from Coby, looking at the weird boy talking to a barrel.
Suddenly the top of the barrel flies off and a boot covered foot sticks straight up in the air, shocking Coby before he lands on his butt out of shock. A groan comes from the barrel.
"What time is it?" asks a voice from inside the barrel as the booted foot relaxes.
Luffy sniggers, "Grub time."
As soon as he said it, the leg stood straight again, "Is there meat?" the voice asks.
"No only apples," Luffy replies with a sigh as he stands back.
"Oh well good enough." The voice says before the barrel shakes violently and then shatters in a bright flash.
Coby shields his eyes from the splinters but he looks back to where the barrel was a moment later and standing where it was, stood a man a good few years older than Luffy who was craning and rubbing the back of his neck.
"Note to self, barrels do not make the best beds," the man said in a groan from the pain in his neck.
The man stood a good head taller than Luffy wearing a pair of black baggy shorts, a white vest top. He had messy black hair that faded to white on the ends. He wore steel toe cap boots and elbow pads and on his back was a rather large rucksack that he held in place with his left hand. In his right hand was a metal cased katana with no guard and a rectangular sheath.
Looking to Luffy he spoke again. "Where's the grub?" he asked, Luffy points to the doorway and they both start walking over to the pantry. Coby quickly followed behind them wanting to hide away. Both strangers are eating away at the ship's rations like they haven't eaten in months.
The older one belches as he grabs one last apple and hops up on a higher level and goes to take a bite but notices Coby watching them and blinks.
"Oh I'm sorry, you've been here this whole time and I never even asked your name." he apologises with a slight bow of the head.
"C-C-C-Coby" Coby responds still stuttering.
"Well, it's a pleasure to meet you, Coby. My name is Monkey D. Draxsis, but just call me Drax, my little brother you've no doubt already met, say hi Luffy." Drax says as he gestured to Luffy with his thumb.
"YO" Luffy calls waving his hand in the air while his head's in a barrel of fruit, eating away.
Drax sighs at his brother's antics and him being a complete glutton, "So Coby, mind telling me where we are? We're obviously on a ship. But what kind? Marine, civilian, pirate?"
"Well, this is actually a civilian cruise ship, currently being raided by pirates. Pirates under the command of lady Alvida." Coby explains.
Drax raises an eyebrow at this point before taking a bite out of his apple. "I see."
Luffy actually takes his head out of the barrel and looks to Coby, "So what are you? Passenger or pirate?"
At this point, Coby's head sank as he began to tell them about his most unfortunate past and how he became a slave to the Alvida pirates. Both Luffy and Drax listened to him, Luffy still munching on apples.
"Why didn't you just run away?" Luffy asked once the story was finished.
"It's impossible! No way! If I were caught, what will happen? I'm so afraid of Alvida finding me I want 'a throw-up!" Coby says as he shakes in fear clutching his stomach.
Both Luffy and Drax start laughing much to Coby expense and Luffy speaks between the fits of laughter, "You're a moron and a coward, I hate people like you."
That seemed to depress Coby a bit as his shoulders slouched and he hung his head. Drax stood up hoisting his bag over his shoulder before tossing his apple core away.
"Well those pirates complicate things a bit, but it's nothing we can't handle. First port of call is getting a new boat." Drax smirked.
"What happened to your last one?" Coby asks in slight confusion.
"I made the mistake of falling asleep and telling little bro here to watch our course. I wake up to find us on the outer rim of a whirlpool, you can figure out the rest," said Drax in a depressed monotone.
"No way that one outside? No one would have been able to survive that!" Coby yells in shock.
"Yeah. If I hadn't stuffed Luffy inside a barrel and jumped in one myself we would have gone down with the boat. It's just thanks to the currents we managed to stay together." Drax said as he began making his way to the door.
Coby blinks in complete shock at this revelation, "So why are you two travelling in the first place?"
Drax looks back over his shoulder with a grin, Coby looks to Luffy who has an even bigger grin on his face, "I'm travelling to be king of the pirates."
Coby stairs at him before looking to Drax for confirmation he slowly nods, "Yes my little brother is completely serious."
"Then that would make you two both…" Coby said as he stared in cold horror.
"Pirates," the two brothers said in unison with smiles on their faces.
"The king, are you serious!" Coby snapped at Luffy.
"Yep," Luffy replies plainly like it's no big deal
"Your crew?" Coby asked.
"Just the two of us for now but we'll find more as we go," Luffy replies again like it's no big problem.
At this point, Coby completely shuts down like he'd froze, "Ha-ha-ha, Lil bro I think we broke him." Drax laughed as he waved his hand in front of Coby's face.
Suddenly Coby stands up "The "King of Pirates" is a title given to the one who has attained everything this world has to offer! You're talking about seeking the treasure of fortune, fame and power! The treasure you seek is the "One Piece"!"
"Yep," Luffy says with a giant grin.
"Yep? What "yep"? All the pirates are looking for that treasure you know!" Copy yelled.
"That's my goal, too!" Luffy said as he gave his signature D grin.
"No way! No way! Absolutely No way! How can it be possible for you to stand on this great pirate era there are just too many out there who are bigger and stronger? No way! No way! No way! No way!" Coby started raving before…
*SMACK*
Drax spun his still sheathed katana and brought it down on Coby's head barely putting any power behind it other than its own momentum.
"OW, why'd you hit me?" Copy whined as he rubbed the top of his head.
"Because you're bumming me out, kid." Drax said as he rested the katana on his shoulder, "If you go about saying everything in this world is impossible, why even live? They said conquering the grand line was impossible but Gold Roger did it and came back the pirate king. So that proves that anything is possible if you put your mind to it. Have a little faith and never give up."
Coby stares at him in awe, "I suppose you want to be king as well?"
Drax shakes his head, "Nope. I have my own ambitions but I'm keeping them to myself. Can't go spilling my guts to someone I just met."
Coby lowers his head, "I understand."
Drax looks to him with a raised eyebrow, "Kid surely you've got dreams as well, I'm sure you could achieve anything you want in this life."
"Y-You really mean that?" Coby asked in shock.
Drax nods his head, "If you've got a dream and you want it bad enough you'll make it happen. So kid you got a dream?"
Coby nods his head, "To be a marine."
"Ha-ha, well you kind of pulled a complete one-eighty there, but it could be possible if you ditched those pirates and enlisted. I'm sure that would work, and then what?" Drax laughed and asked.
"Pardon?" asked Coby confused.
"What's your goal after becoming a marine? Fame, honour, rank? You've got to aim big in life kid, take up the gauntlet and always strive higher. Aim to be a Captain, then aim for Commodore then Vice Admiral and keep climbing to achieve the best in life, and live it without regrets."
Coby falls on his ass at Drax's big speech, "Y-You really think I could?"
Drax gives him a half grin, "I'm sure you could, and I know the perfect way to get you started."
"H-How?" asked Coby slightly afraid of his answer.
"This pirate captain that's attacking. Capture her and I'm sure you'd be accepted and given rank in a split second" Drax said with a smirk.
"Capture lady Alvida! That impossible" Coby yelled.
*SMACK*
Once again Drax's sheath hits Coby on the head, "What did I just say? Nothing is impossible. Every journey starts with a single step. You take her down and that'll jump start your career and your dream."
Coby shakes, rubbing his head "I could never do that she's too strong and with the massive club of hers I'd be dead if I tried."
Drax grins "You'll never know unless you try?"
"My bro and I are ready to die for our dreams." Luffy says putting his straw hat on his head, "Are you prepared to do the same for yours?"
Drax smirks at his little brother's words, 'To give my life for this cause. I'd be happy to do that, but you wouldn't like it if I did that Luffy, and I could never do that to you, not after Sabo.' the thought of their sake brother made Drax lips narrow slightly but he remained focused and was brought out of his trance by Coby.
"Then I'll do it, I'll capture Lady Alvida and become a marine!" Coby declares with vigour making Drax smirk but then suddenly the ceiling crashes down and a massive figure bursts through it crashing into the floor.
"Who are you going to catch you, little runt!" A female voice boomed out through the dust.
As the dust clears Alvida glares at Coby and then looks to the two brothers and scoffs, "So I'm guessing neither of you two is Zoro the bounty hunter, you don't even look like bounty hunters"
Drax just stares at her unimpressed, 'This… thing, is meant to have a bounty on its head? It can't be that high'.
Luffy then looks to Alvida and then to Coby, "Hey Coby, who's the fat lady?"
Getting everyone to go wide eyed at that very moment, Drax nearly coughs up a lung in shock, "That thing's a lady?!"
Everyone pales except for the brothers and Alvida, who by this stage is completely red in the face with rage as she hoists her club above her head, "YOU BASTARDS!"
Drax merely turns to the side as the club passes by him, Luffy jumps down dodging the swing and grabs Coby, "Time to go!" before jumping out like a frog with Coby in his arm up on deck.
Alvida turns her attention to Drax. Who catches his fist in his hand like he realised something, "Oh, I get it now. You're a lady whale. A damn ugly ass one at that. Now I understand."
Alvida sees red as she swings her club horizontally trying to break Drax in two, but he simply holds out his katana still sheathed and stops the swing effortlessly, shocking Alvida.
"Nice try, but no chance." Drax grins before pushing back with his katana knocking the club back. Drax then spins on the spot and slams the katana sheath into Alvidas face sending her crashing into and through the wall. Drax stops spinning and smirked before kneeling slightly and leaping out of the opening to land on deck with a smirk.
Drax stretches out enjoying the sea air when Luffy catches his eye. He looks to see a few pirates getting knocked on their backs and Luffy grinning like a maniac. Drax grinned as well until he noticed a pirate on the upper decking jumping for Luffy. 'Not a chance ass wipe.'
Shooting between the pirate and his brother he holds up his sheathed blade blocking the falling blade, "Hey Luffy watch your back" Drax says holding the attacker back simply.
"That's what you're here for bro." Luffy grinned to him.
Drax sighs as he lowers his stance slightly before flipping the pirate and throwing him over him and Luffy landing him on top of his friends.
The two brothers are grinning at their work bro fisting in celebration. Only to be cut short when looking behind them they see another ten guys all looking very angry. The brothers start running while the enemy pirates start giving chase. Luffy wraps his arm around Drax and then an arm around the ship's main mast as they ran.
The enemy pirates stopped and stared in shock seeing the boy stretch like that, Drax lowered his gaze to his chest and Luffy's right arm. He then looked at the scene behind him before looking to Luffy, realising what was happening.
"Don't you dare do it!" Drax snarled in warning, but Luffy grins like a mad man, 'shit he's going to do it, and this is going to hurt….a lot.' Drax thought as he looked around desperately. Drax desperately tried to grab onto some railing to stop what was going to happen but just as his fingers reached it, Luffy yelled out.
"Gum-Gum….double rocket!"
The tension in Luffy's left arm released and both Luffy and Drax were pulled backwards. Both crashed into the enemy pirates who had tried to do the smart thing and run when they guessed what was about to happen but they did it in the wrong direction to get away.
At that same time. Alvida had managed to climb out of the hole in the deck just in time to witness her entire crew being devastated by two guys in such a way that she couldn't put to reason. Luffy's arm stretching a good ten meters. Both she and Coby were stunned in shock seeing this scene.
Drax lurched forward holding his head from the impact, "OW!" Drax groaned as he got to his feet to see Luffy rolling on the ground happy as he sat up. Drax glared before lifting his sheathed sword and…
*SMACK* Cracking Luffy over the head hard.
"OW! That hurt. Why do your hits always hurt just like grandpa's?" Luffy winded as a lump formed on top of his head.
"You know why you reckless little twerp," Drax said as he rubbed his now sore neck as he looked over to see a gobsmacked Coby.
"L-Luffy, how did you do that?" Coby asked still slightly stunned.
"Shishishishi, I ate the Gum-Gum devil fruit." Luffy giggled.
"Devil fruit?" Coby asked confused.
"Yeah, and it made me into a rubber man," Luffy said as he stretched out his cheeks to impossible lengths.
"And the biggest pain in my arse," Drax added as he rotated his shoulder still working out the cramps before straightening up when he felt a presence approaching them. He turned to push Luffy out of the way as he brought his still sheathed blade up blocking the falling spiked club. "Way too slow, but then again most are compared to me."
Everyone in eyesight except for Luffy was stunned by what they were seeing. Drax was holding back an iron mace that easily weighed a tonne with no effort and one hand, but what was shocking them was what was happening with his other hand. Sparks of electricity were pulsing off it making everyone's eyes widen and Drax grin.
"Surge fist!"
Drax yelled out as he thrust his pulsing fist into Alvida's gut sending her and the iron mace flying back and crashing into the ship's wall. Drax stood straight again with a satisfactory smile, he turned hearing Coby stuttering.
"H-H-H-H-H-H-How did you do THAT!" Coby yelled in complete shock
Drax smirked, "Simple I ate a devil fruit too. I ate the Surge-Surge fruit. I'm a surge man." Drax said holding up his hand as sparks flew off it.
Coby was about to ask more questions when Alvida came pushing out of the hole in the wall.
"Devil fruit users. I heard of their existence, but I've never seen any evidence of them until today, you're both too skilled to be deck hands are you bounty hunters?" She asked wincing from the pain in her gut.
Both Luffy and Drax chuckled, "We're pirates, same as you." Drax said leaning on his sheathed sword like a walking stick.
"Pirates? All by yourselves on these water don't make me laugh." Alvida bellowed out.
"Today is just us but I'll find the rest of my crew tomorrow, I need like ten guys right?" Luffy declared and looked to his big brother, who nodded.
"Yea ten at the least, but only the best." Drax grinned with an approving nod.
"Then tell me if we're both pirates and we're not under the same flag then that would make us enemies correct?" Alvida sneered.
Drax rolled his eyes, "Give the whale a prize, it can actually use common sense."
Coby turns to them. "You shouldn't say that. Are you trying to get yourselves killed?" Coby warns, "You should leave…." Coby stops talking when he sees the look in both their eyes and a smirk gracing Drax's face, he doesn't know why but it's slightly unnerving.
Drax looks to his little brother with the same grin, "Hey Luffy. How much do you think that whale weighs? I'm betting at least ten tonnes." Luffy burst into laughter at his brother's words, Drax chuckles and turns to Coby, "What about you kid? What do you think?"
Coby looks at him wide eyed before swallowing his fear, "That whale's at least fifty tonnes, and it's got to be the ugliest ass whale in the whole east blue!"
At this point, Alvida is twitching with anger, "What did you just say, brat?!"
"I'm leaving and I'm going to join the marines, then I'm going to spend the rest of my life catching dirty pirates like you!" Coby declared his knees shaking.
"Do you have any clue what you're saying to me right now?" Alvida snarls as her hat shaded her eyes.
"Of course, I do, I'm going to do what I want, and no one's going to stop me, I'm going to join the marines I'm going to join them and I'm going to catch your fat ass first!" Coby yelled eyes wide.
"Your dead kid!" Alvida bellowed as she raised her club to smash Coby.
'Not going to happen lard ass.' Drax smirks, "Nicely said kid. both he and Luffy step in front of Coby much to his shock.
The spiked club falls and Luffy takes the blow with Coby screaming thinking he was dead, that soon stopped when he saw Luffy with a big grin.
"That won't work~" Luffy spoke in a singsong tone as Drax moved into position.
Alvidas eyes widen as Drax's fist sparks and he grins, "Surge Black Pistol" he smashes his fist into Alvidas iron club, unseen by everyone his knuckles were shimmering a metallic black on impact, and the iron club then shattered to bits.
Luffy grins, "Nice one big bro. Now it's my turn" Luffy says throwing his right arm back as it stretches at least a hundred meters out the back of the ship earning shocked looks from everyone else.
Drax grinned knowing what was coming next. 'see ya whale'.
"Gum-Gum Pistol" Luffy's closed fist, shot back catching Alvida straight in the gut before cannonballing her off the ship and into the sky at high speeds.
Drax walks forward his hands shading his eyes like a visor, "*whistle*, that's got to be a new record for the longest bitch and whale toss."
Drax looks over to the enemy ship seeing all on board shocked at their captain's defeat, "HEY! Go find a boat and give it, along with a week's worth of supplies, to Coby. He's leaving your ship to join the marines, if you value your lives I suggest you not try to stop him." Drax ordered as he started sparking off some electrical arcs on his shoulders and arms.
The men nodded their heads and quickly rush to get the boat ready for them, Coby looks to Drax, "T-Thank you",
Drax grinned "No problem kid."
Suddenly the ship started to shake with more explosions from cannon balls. Luffy and Drax looked to the other side of the ship's horizon and see marine ships coming in.
"Shit, time to go!" Drax yelled jumping over to the other ship making for the boat with Luffy following after him.
"Hey, Coby, why don't you see about joining them now?" Luffy calls back.
Coby looks at him like he's nuts, "Are you crazy..."
*Smack* Drax clouts Luffy over the top of his head with his fist, "You're the biggest idiot sometimes. If he tries joining now he'll just get captured like a pirate." Drax scolds before looking to Coby, "Coby get your ass in gear we're leaving." he yells.
Coby salutes "Yes Sir!" before quickly follows and manages to get into the small boat at the back of the pirate ship just before they release and crash into the ocean.
As they do, Drax and Luffy look to see orange hair and brown eyes. 'Who's she?' Drax thought as they landed, but with no time to waste, they quickly set off to get away the whole mess.
After about ten minutes of sailing, they are away from all the havoc.
"I can't believe we actually managed to get away," Coby says in shock as he adjusts the mast.
"Just, call it luck, that's all it was," Drax says with a smile moved to the front of the boat.
Coby fell on his arse exhausted. Luffy was sitting in the middle of the boat and Drax was at the front with his arms out using the sides as arm rests with his feet on top of his bag and blade.
Coby finally got his breath back, "So I suppose you two will be setting off to the grand line if you want to be the pirate king Luffy. You know the people I talk to call that place the pirate graveyard"
Drax smirks, "That's the plan kid, but it won't be or a while yet at least."
"Yeah, big bro says we need to gather a crew first at least five before we set out and a ship, though I don't see why." Luffy said with a shrug.
"Luffy listen to me. We can't go to the grand line in a dingy. Other pirates are sailing in full sized ships. One cannon ball and we're done got that." Drax explained in a slow voice.
Luffy hung his head, even he could understand that logic.
Drax smirked as he let his head hang back, "So Coby, who's this Zoro guy that Alvida was going on about before?" Luffy asked.
Drax lifts his head and listens, 'This one sounds interesting.'
"Oh, you mean Zoro. The last thing I heard, he's been held captive by the Marines in a Marine Base, not too far from here." Coby answered.
"So…he's weak," Luffy said as he crossed his arms in disappointment.
"NO WAY YOU'RE WRONG HE'S AS VIOLENT AS A DEMON AND THREE TIMES AS HORRIFYING!" Coby said in a terrified voice before he calmed down and looked at Luffy strangely "…Why are you asking about him anyway?"
"I figured if he's good enough id ask him to join my crew." Luffy smiled.
Coby completely paled at Luffy's statement, and then Drax spoke.
"VIOLENT AS A DEMON AND THREE TIMES AS HORRIFYING!" Drax said as he put on a Mock scared face mocking Coby before he burst out laughing, "Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, I'm liking this guy already!" Drax burst out laughing, as he took out a compass and a map out of his short's pocket and started finding where the nearest island was.
Coby watched him, "Are you a navigator Drax?"
Drax shakes his head, "No I just know how to get around. I know the basic stuff that's about the height of it. If I didn't we'd be floating for weeks till we hit land." Drax said before getting up and moving the sail to turn the ship in the right direction. "There with a strong headwind we'll reach the closest inhabited island in a day or so, but we need to find a navigator soon Luffy I can't keep doing this forever."
Luffy nods, "Don't worry bro we'll find one right after we recruit this guy Zoro."
Drax nods as he returns to his spot to relax for the remainder of the trip.
Coby watches him, "Drax….if you're not the navigator of the crew, what position are you? First mate?"
Drax grins to him, "Nope, first division commander Drax at your service."
