The Blinding Lights of Twilight
Chapter 1: Unexpected Quests! Set Sail for Twilight!
Here is the first chapter of my One Piece fanfiction. Just to warn you, it may take a while for the next chapter to be updated because of the other pirate crews that will be appearing in the story.
The first crew that will be appearing in this chapter will be the Iceberg Pirates, led by Wulwric D. Berg aka Wulwric the Iceberg'.
Anyway, on with the chapter! Enjoy!
"I'M BORED!" Came a loud yell from the top of the Lion figure head of the Thousand Sunny.
"Yeah, we know Luffy. You've been yelling that for the past 3 DAYS!" Yelled the orange-haired navigator of the Strawhat Pirates, Nami, as she was eventually fed up with the constant whining of her rubbery captain. She was busy lying on one of the sun beds, with an umbrella over her head and an alcoholic drink in it, courtesy of Sanji. She too was trying to relax in order to not think of the boredom that had been with the crew for five days.
A loud yawn was followed by the banshee scream of the navigator, which originated from the Strawhat's swordsman, Roranoa Zoro, who was leaning by the sides of the rail.
He turned to the navigator with an annoyed look.
"Do you mind keeping it down a bit, Nami? You're too loud."
Before he could back to sleep, he was roughly kicked in the side of the head and sent flying to the other end of the ship, just inches from Nami's position.
"She can speak or shout as loud as she wants, Moss Head!" Yelled the blond chef, Black leg Sanji, who kicked Zoro because he thought he was being rude to his dear Nami-swan.
Zoro immediately jumped back on his feet and reached for swords, while also glaring at the cook with a killer intent. "That's it, Swirls! You're Dead!"
"Bring it on, Cyclops!" With that said, both the swordsman and the cook charged at each other, legs and blades clashing with one another.
On the lawn, not too far away from the scuffle, Franky and Ussop were busy building some kind of contraption to keep themselves occupied. Ussop was hammering a few nails into the metal, while Franky was soldering the joints together with his built-in blow torch. Helping them was Nico Robin, the archaeologist of the Strawhats, using her powers to hold the blueprints steady for both Franky and Ussop to see and to gather the materials and tools that they needed.
Normally, Ussop would be goofing off with Luffy and/or Chopper; Franky would be busy in the engine room to see if any improvements could be made or damages that needed to be fixed, and Robin would be busy reading one of her books. However, by the 4th day they had either finished or got bored with their usual routines, and tried to occupy themselves with something to keep them from being bored.
Not far behind them was Brook, the skeleton musician, siting under one of the masts, with a paper in one hand and a pen in the other, which he was tapping his lower jaw with in a thinking posture. After trying to lift the spirits of the crew with every song he could think for the past 5 days, he eventual ran out of songs and began to try and come up with new ones. Unfortunately, 5 days had past and his efforts had been fruitless, but he didn't give up, hoping that finding a song would save him from the boredom.
In the medical ward was the young reindeer doctor of the Strawhats, Tony Tony Chopper, who had finished going through his medical supplies for the hundredth time, and was just laying his head on the desk with a bored expression, while his body was seated in a small chair. He too, had become bored after the events of Dressrosa, which took place 5 days ago, and since then Law had gone off with his crew and Kine'mon's friend Kanjuro for the next stage of their plan, and no marines, pirates or islands had come across the Strawhats in that time, leaving the crew with nothing to do.
Outside, on the lawn, the Strawhat's guest, Kin'emon, and his son, Momonsuke, where sitting under the shade of one of the trees in, what looked like, a meditative state. Their legs were crossed, the arms out, the fingers in the shape of an 'O', and their eyes were closed. Apparently, they too were bored after nothing had happened since the events of Dressrosa, and so the samurai and the young child from Wano, sat under the trees and began to meditate to keep their minds of the boredom. Of course, they were starting to become quite bored with the meditating and were using their time to meditate to think of another way to cease their boredom.
An then there was the Strawhat's captain, the infamous 400 million beri rookie pirate, Monkey D Luffy, or by his alias Strawhat Luffy, lying on his back on the lion figure head of the Thousand Sunny, staring out at the endless sea. After the whole Dressrosa incident, he was eagerly hoping for a new adventure, however, after 3 days of nothing, not even running into a marine battleship, he was quickly becoming bored and tried to entertain himself, which unfortunately resulted in winding the crew up, which then result in serious scolds and threats from the rest of the crew. He then became so bored that he spent the last 2 days lying on the Sunny's figure head, staring out to see to avoid boredom. He didn't even bother to look at the scuffle between Sanji and Zoro, as he had seen more of the usual fights for the past 5 days.
Yep, the crew believed that today was going to be the same old, nothing new boring day today, however…
"AHOY THERE!"
The reactions were imminent; Luffy yelled in surprise and nearly fell off the figure head, but he was able to grab the Sunny's nose before he fell into the sea, Nami dropped her drink in surprise and turned to the source of the voice, Sanji and Zoro both became distracted by the yell that they collided with one another and fell to the floor, Franky, Ussop and Robin dropped what they were holding an looked towards the source of the yell, Brook slipped in surprise and banged his head against the mast while dropping his pen and paper, Chopper ran out of the infirmary and ran down to the lawn to see what the commotion was about, and finally Kin'emon and Momonsuke both fell over in surprise of the sudden outburst.
Everyone turned to the source of the voice but their eyes widened and the jaws fell in shock as a dark shadow loomed over the Sunny.
The large shadow belong to a large iron Icebreaker, that had a black under hall possessing four rows of sealed windows, which is where the cannons were stored, and a large painted mouth with razor sharp teeth at the bow of the ship. The top part of the ship was snow white in colour and possessed many windows and doors. But what really stood out was the large light blue snowflake with crossbones painted on the side of the ship.
The Strawhats just stood gawking at the large vessel that floated next to them. The ship easily dwarfed the Sunny and looked like it could crack a large iceberg in half by running into it.
"That Ship Is Gigantic!" Luffy yelled in surprise, shock, and awe.
"What The Hell! How Is That Thing Able To Float?!" Sanji yelled, who still couldn't believe the titanic vessel that was before them.
"Wait! Does This Mean We're Introuble?!" Ussop yelled. He wanted to have some excitement after 5 days of nothing, but he had no plan on dying.
Franky eyes were as big as saucers as he looked up at the mighty vessel. He saw many ships in his lifetime of different sizes, but this was just mind blowing.
Zoro gritted his teeth in worry as he slightly unsheathed his swords. He didn't know what was going on, but he had a feeling even he couldn't cut the large ship completely in half.
Kin'emon was also ready to unsheathe his sword as he eyed the vessel. "What could this ship want with us?" He asked.
Momonsuke was in his dragon form after gazing at the giant ship, and his mouth was so wide someone could possibly stuff a least three cannonballs inside.
"If they decided to fire on us, I doubt there would be anything left of the Sunny but a burning wreck." Robin assumed, who just stared at the large ship with wide eyes and a gaped mouth.
Chopper was running around the deck, panicking.
"That Is The Largest Ship I've Ever Seen, My Eyes Feel Like They're Going To Pop Out! Wait… I don't have any!" Brook yelled. Even though he was trying to make a skull joke, the situation just deadened it.
"What Do They Want With Us?" Nami Yelled in fear as she was hiding behind the sun bed she was relaxing on a moment ago.
No one knew what would happen next until they heard the same voice that surprised them in the first place.
"AHOY DOWN THERE!"
The Strawhats looked high up the ship to see a figure holding onto the rails of the beastly vessel and looking down on the small pirate crew.
They saw a large man with a large white sleeveless shirt that covered his large belly and chest but not his arms and had a thin strap other each shoulder. He also sported large black trousers that fitted under his belly and were tucked in to large black boots with two red straps and a red sole. He also wore a large light blue winter coat over his shoulders, with red pocket covers possessing two silver buttons each, red strips on each side of the shoulders, red wrist covers, dark blue fur decorated the top part of the coat and the top button of the coat was connected to stop his coat from falling off. He looked like he was in his late fifties with light grey, sleeked back hair, quite large light grey eyebrows and a light grey moustache that was connected to his light grey sideburns. His eyes the same blue colour as his coat. The man also had a smile on his face, as if he was admiring the small band of pirates.
Beside the stranger, wearing identical clothing of blue and white striped shirts, long black trousers, boots and wearing dark blue bandanas with the same symbol of the ship printed on them, were, what the Strawhats could tell, the rest of the crew, looking down at the small band of pirates with their captain. There were four, however, that stood out in the crew.
On the left side, one was a man in in his thirties, wearing a dark blue winter coat with dark blue gloves, white trousers and yellow boots. His curved hair was a dark shade of brown, while his eyes sported a ruby red colour, with a scar going from the bottom of his left eye to the right of his chin. He had a cutlass at his side, symbolising he was a swordsman, and he had two other blades strapped to his back that looked like they were made to go on his arms. By icy look in his eyes and the frown on his face, he seemed to be a more serious member of the crew.
One the right side, was a woman with snow white hair, yellow honey eyes, and a small cold expression on her face. She wore a large white cloak clasped together by a star-shaped clip, with feathery protrusions that cover her chest, shoulders, and mid-back, and flared at her feet, where it is divided into flowing sections secured by ribbons. The cloak covered her entire body, but apart from the Strawhats couldn't see any more clothing.
Finally, there were two small figures leaning over the edge of the railing, which told the Strawhats that they were quite small and possibly young. On the left was a small boy was wearing a light blue parka, dark blue mittens and brown furred boots. A bit of his hazelnut hair was showing through the hood over his head. He also had dark blue eyes that were curiously looking down at the Strawhats. He also had a large mallet strapped to his back. The one on the left was wearing a pink parka, dark pink mittens and brown furred boots. The girl's hair was also showing through the top of their hoods, being hazelnut in colour and two locks were draped over her left eye. She too, had dark blue eyes as she looked down at the pirate crew bellow. Like the boy, she had a large wooden mallet strapped on her back.
The crews just stared at on another before the large man yelled down "Ahoy, There! Hope We're Not Disturbing Anything."
The Strawhats just looked at one another, figuring how they should respond or who would.
Before any of them could answer, Luffy jumped down form the figure head, walked down to the deck. He then took in a really deep breath.
"HHHHHEEEEEEYYYY!"
The Strawhats covered their ears from the outburst, not expecting their captain to yell so loudly.
"Nice Ship You Have There!" Luffy yelled up to the large man.
The man laughed.
"JoJoJoJoJo. Thanks." The man replied. "Your Ship Doesn't Look That Bad Either."
"Thanks!" Luffy yelled back. "So Who Are Ya Anyway, Pops?"
The man jumped one to the rails of his ship, with his arms crossed and looked down on the pirates below.
"I'm The Man Who Shattered An Iceberg Back In The North Blue, Wrestled With Countless Of Sea Kings, Ate The Toke Toke no Mi, And Soon To Be Known As the Strongest Man In the World After The Great Late Whitebeard, Wulwric D Berg! But To My Enemies, I Am Wulwric the Iceberg! JOJOJOJOJO!" The man, now known as Wulwric D Berg, Boasted.
Luffy then did the same and jumped on the railing of his ship, with his arms crossed.
"Shishishishi! Yeah. Well I'm The Man Whole Be Kind Of The Pirates, Monkey D Luffy! But You Can Call Me Strawhat Luffy! ShiShiShiShiShi!" Luffy boasted back trying to sound cool.
"WILL BOTH OF YOU STOP SHOUTING!" Both crews yelled at their captains; expect Brook, Robin, and the two young members of Wulwric's crew, who were getting annoyed by the yelling.
Both captains fell back on their ships in surprise of their crew's outburst.
Sanji then kicked Luffy in the head with an irritated look.
"Don't Just Yell Like That You Rubber Bastard! Especially To Someone Who just Randomly Appeared Out Of The Blue!" Sanji yelled at the rubbery captain as he was recovering from the kick.
"Sanji's Right, Luffy!" Ussop yelled in fear, as tears ran down his eyes. "These Guys Could Be dangerous!"
While this was happening with the Strawhats, Wulwric was sitting with his legs crossed and rubbing the back of his head, which he banged on the iron floor during his fall, and was being scolded by his crew.
"What Hell Were You Thinking, Chief!" Yelled one of the women crew mates.
"Yeah! You can't Just Randomly Sail Towards An Unknown Ship And Yell 'Hi'!" Yelled one of the bulkier men of the crew.
"Seriously, Chief." The woman in the cloak said with a hint of irritation. "It isn't wise to just appear in front of people that could be considered a threat to the crew."
"Yeah, Chief." The boy in the blue parka said. "Those guys could be bounty hunters."
The girl in the pink parka gave the boy a 'are you serious' look. "Seriously, Jamie?"
The boy, whose name was Jamie, turned to the girl with a confused look. "What, Jenny?"
The girl, Jenny, then pointed to the top of the Strawhat's ship, more precisely the ship's flag. "Do bounty hunters fly pirate flags in the air for show?" She said in an irritated tone.
Jamie looked at the flag, and noticed that it was indeed a pirate flag.
"Oh." Was all he said.
Jenny sighed. Her brother can be really oblivious to the most important details.
"Regardless of the situation, these people could be trouble." The man in dark blue finally spoke in a calm but serious voice as he spoke to the crew. "Be prepared for any surprises."
"Like what?"
Everyone on the ship turned to see the Strawhatted captain crouching on the rails looking at them with a smile.
Most of the crew jumped back in surprise, some even fell flat on their backs, as they did not expect him to reach this height so quickly, considering that their ship dwarfed his ship. The only ones who weren't startled were Wulwric, the women, the man and the twins.
Wulwric smiled at the boy captain before getting up. "Well, I quite surprised, that you got up here so quickly."
"Oh, it wasn't hard." Luffy said with a smile. He then grabbed his cheek and stretched it quite far, thanks to his devil Fruit powers. "I ate the Gomu Gomu no Mi, I'm a Rubber man." Luffy explained, before letting his cheek go, snapping it back into place. "I just stretched my arms to come up here."
Everyone just looked at the young captain as he explained his power.
"A Devil fruit?" One of the male crew members said.
"Well that explains how he got up here from such a far distance." The woman said as she observed the young boy.
"A Rubber man?" Jamie said as he pulled a bit of Luffy's skin quite far before letting go and watching it snap back into place. "Weird."
"Well, this is the New World; Devil Fruit Users aren't that rare around these waters." Jenny stated.
"Not to mention we already have three on the crew ourselves." Said a female member of the crew.
The man just stood there, keeping an eye on the boy in case he tried anything.
Wulwric just laughed. "JoJoJoJo. That's quite a power you got their kid."
Luffy just smiled as well. "ShiShiShi. Thanks, Pops."
"How about we go down to your ship and talk for a bit." Wulwric suggested.
"Ok." Luffy replied.
Wulwric's crew just sweat dropped at the fact that their captain just asked to talk with a bunch of strangers, who could be dangerous, and the leader of those strangers just said 'ok' with no hint of hesitation.
(A few minutes later)
"YOU DUMBASS!" Yelled Nami, Sanji, and Ussop yelled.
"What?" Luffy said, confused by his crewmates outburst.
"Don't 'What' Us, You Moron! What The Hell Were You Thinking Inviting Those Guys Onto The Ship?" Nami screamed at her captain in anger as she pointed towards the five guests, Wulwric, the man, the woman, and the twins, that were currently on standing on the ship, watching the scene that played out before them.
Luffy turned to look at the five before turning back to the crew and replying "But the old guy wanted to talk, so I let him on."
"That's Not The Point, Luffy! These People Could Be Dangerous!" Ussop yelled, trying to talk reason with his captain.
"Not unless you give us a reason to be dangerous." Jenny explained, completely oblivious to the seriousness of the situation.
Jamie side eyed her sister and sighed. His sister can really not understand how bad a situation was until it was explained to her.
Luffy smiled at the girl's response. "See?"
"That's Not The Point, You Rubber Brained Idiot!" Sanji yelled at his captain. "We Have No Idea Who These Guys Are, Where They Came From, Or Why They're-"
"The Iceberg Pirates."
Everyone turned to the voice that had cut off Sanji's yelling, which came from the cloaked woman with puzzled looks.
"We're the Iceberg Pirates." She repeated. "We originated from the North Blue and have been sailing the Grand line for about 5 years."
The Strawhats just looked at her for a few seconds, before Sanji immediately ran up to the woman and assumed a proposal position; him on one knee holding the hand of the woman before him, he also had hearts in his eyes.
"Such beauty! Forgive my rude outburst; if you wish to talk, then you may pour your entire heart out on me if you wish!" Sanji said in a lovey dovey tone.
The woman and the other quests just sweat dropped at the scene as they gave the man uneasy looks.
Zoro cleared his throat getting the attention of the Iceberg Pirates. "Curly Brow here does this to every pretty girl he meets, so don't seem too surprised." Zoro explained.
Sanji heard what the swordsman said, twitched in anger.
He then got out of his position and literally turned on fire as he glared at the swordsman. "What Was That You Shitty Swordsman?"
Zoro heard the insult and gave the cook and irritated look of his own. "You heard me, Curly brow." Zoro replied with little interest.
The fire on Sanji's body grew even bigger, as that was the last straw for him. "That's It!"
He then charged at Zoro, who brought his swords to defend. Before long another scuffle was happening.
Once again, the Iceberg Pirates sweat dropped at the scene.
Nami sighed in irritation as she could guess what was going through their minds right now.
She turned to the pirates and said "Pay no attention to them. They do this all the time."
Wulwric just looked back the fighting and then surveyed the rest of the crew. After a few seconds of silence he burst out laughing.
"JoJoJoJo! This is quite an interesting crew you have here." Wulwric said, looking at the young captain.
Luffy smiled. "Thanks." He then looked back at Wulwric's crew. "Your crew don't look so bad either."
Wulwric turned to his crew mates and smiled. "Aye. My crew may not seem like it, but they're as tough as an iceberg."
Wulwric then began to introduce his crew to the Strawhats. He first pointed to the man, who had his eyes on the Strawhats when he first stepped on the ship. "This is my first mate, and the top swordsman on my ship, Philip J James!"
Zoro heard the word 'swordsman' and took a quick glance the man known as James. James' eyes locked with Zoro's for a while. They both knew that the other was a swordsman, and a powerful one at that. They both then shot each other a shark grin, as they both had one thought in their mind, 'Let's see who the better swordsman is.' He then went back to his scuffle with the cook.
Wulwric then kneeled down and placed his hands on the right shoulder of the boy and the left shoulder of the girl. "These two are our ship's doctor and cook, Jamie and Jenny."
"Hey." Jenny greeted with a small wave.
"Yo." Jamie said as he mimicked his sister.
Finally, Wulwric went up to the woman in the white cloak. "And this is our ship's navigator, Eve."
"A pleasure to meet you." Eve said as she gave a small bow.
Brook then walked up to the woman.
"My, my. Sanji was right; you truly are a beautiful flower." Brook said as he got a good look of Eve's face.
Eve blushed a little and turned her head slightly, due to not being good at receiving comments, especially from a living skeleton. "Um… Thank you." She said sheepishly.
Brook then leaned a little closer to the navigator. "May you, perhaps, show me your panties?" He asked.
Eve's blushed deepened even further at the question.
"Don't Ask Her That!" Nami yelled, as she ran up to Brook and viciously kicked him in the head and into the wall.
"She couldn't show even if she wanted to anyway." James said, as he looked at the down skeleton.
The Strawhats turned to the swordsman pirate with confused looks.
"What do you mean by that?" Franky asked, as he raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"Don't You Dare." Eve yelled at the swordsman, but it was more in embarrassment than anger, as the Strawhats noticed the blush on her face.
"You see Eve ate the Hadaka Hadaka no Mi." Jamie explained.
This caused the crew, even Zoro and Sanji to stop fighting, as they looked at the young doctor.
"I'm sorry, but doesn't 'Hadaka' mean 'Naked'?" Chopper said in confusion.
"Yep." Jamie replied, completely oblivious to the death glare coming from Eve.
"It allows Eve to strip her enemies of their weapons, armour, and even clothing, but it also prevents the user from wearing any clothes." Jenny explained, also oblivious to the death glare that Eve shot her.
"Prevents the user from wearing clothing?" Kin'emon repeated, as he was starting to see where this was going.
"But that would have to mean that…" Sanji started before he looked towards Eve, who was now massively blushing.
"Yep, apart from that cloak, she's naked." Both the twins said at the exact same time.
Sanji's, Kin'emon's and, apparently Brook's noses burst forth a fountain of blood as they went sky rocketing into the air.
Zoro, Ussop, Franky, Nami, Momonsuke, and Chopper were blushing upon hearing that announcement. While Luffy and Robin just gave them a blank stare.
Eve smashed her fists into the twin's skulls, blasting both of them into the ship's deck. They both just laid there with their eyes rolled back and their fingers twitching as the blow had knocked the pair of them unconscious.
Wulwric burst into laughter at the scene. "JoJoJoJo! She always does that when some explains her Devil Fruit, so don't seem too shocked."
Luffy laughed as well. "ShiShiShi! That's a pretty weird Devil Fruit." In the background, you could see Chopper giving blood to Sanji and Kin'emon, while telling them and Brook not to die in a panicked.
Eve, despite blushing like mad, sent a death glare at the Strawhat's captain. "I Don't Want To Hear That From The Likes Of You!" She yelled in anger and embarrassment.
Luffy then turned to Wulwric and asked "Hey, didn't one of your crew say you had three Devil Fruit users on the crew?"
Wulwric smiled. "Yep. I, Eve and James are the only members of the crew who have Devil Fruit powers."
Zoro, who had quickly got over the fact that Eve was naked under that cloak, turned to the Iceberg Pirates first mate with a raised eyebrow. "You have a Devil Fruit?"
James gave a single nod in confirmation. "Yes, I ate the Tori Tori no Mi Model: Penguin, I'm a Penguin Man."
Zoro nodded in understanding. "Well since your part of a crew called the Iceberg Pirates, I'd say your power fits the theme."
Robin then turned to Wulwric to ask him something. "Mr Wulwric, didn't you say you ate a fruit called the Toke Toke no Mi?"
"Aye! I have the power to freeze anything I want as well as survive extremely cold weathers, I'm a Sub-Zero Man." Wulwric happily explained to the archaeologist.
Momonsuke turned to Eve. "I understand how freezing and penguins match the theme of the crew, but how does being naked match?" He asked.
Eve blushed again after being asked that kind of question. It was always to talk about her predicament and how she fitted in with the crew. She turned her head away a little bit to avoid eye contact.
"W…well you see… by stripping enemies… of their clothes… they…they're more susceptible to the cold. S…so in a way… I…I lower their defence… against the cold." She sheepishly explained.
The other Strawhats listened to the explanation before understanding the use for her powers.
"Makes sense." They answered together.
Sanji, who had just recovered from his nosebleed along with Kin'emon and Brook, got up and lit a cigarette. "Well that answers a few of the questions bussing around, but you still haven't explained why you're here." He said, looking directly at Wulwric.
Wulwric laughed hole heartedly before answering. "JoJoJoJo! Well I suppose we should explain ourselves, seeing as you guys probably aren't the type to take 'being friendly' as very good excuse."
"LIKE HELL WE WILL!" Most of the Strawhats yelled.
James sighed in annoyance at his captain's carefree manner, and decided it would be better if he explained the situation. "We're sorry for intruding, we were on are way to a specific island, when we noticed your ship not too far from our position." He then lifted his hand slightly to point at his captain. "And our captain was curious to see if you lot would be partaking in the Twilight Battle Tournament this year."
The crew gave the swordsman and confused look.
"Battle Tournament?" Everyone asked at same time.
Eve then stepped forward to continue the explanation. "The Battle Tournament is a special event that takes place on the island of Twilight every year. Pirates, fighters, and bounty hunters from all over the New World go there to battle strong opponents and win large prizes. It's one of the most popular events in this sea."
"Battle Tournament, huh?" Zoro said with a shark grin as he rested his hand on his blades. This 'Twilight' was starting to get his attention.
"That Sounds Awesome!" Luffy yelled as he listened about the Battle Tournament.
"Yeah, and Twilight is one of the richest countries in the New World. People also visit there for the casinos."
"Casinos!" Nami's eyes sparkled at the thought of gambling for large sums of money.
"The bright lights and carnival rides." Jamie continued.
"Carnival Rides!" Ussop, Chopper and Momonsuke yelled in excitement.
"The large buffets and mechanics used to entertain the guests."
"Large Buffets!" Luffy yelled in excitement, with drool flowing from his mouth.
"Mechanics, ey?" Franky said with a smile on his face. He was starting to like the sound of this island.
"They especially go there for the scenery and the historical areas that are located there." Jenny added.
Robin didn't know what brought the smile to her face, the scenery or the historical areas? Either one, she was hoping they would visit this place.
"But mostly people go there for the Battle Tournament and so they can hook up with the main residents of the island, the Sexy Girls." James added.
"Sexy Girls?!" Sanji, Kin'emon and Brook yelled in pure joy.
"Sexy Girls?" Said Nami in a confused voice.
"Yeah. For some reason the island of Twilight is populated only by woman, known as Sexy Girls, because for the way their bodies are structure to look sexy." James explained.
"Populated only by girls, huh?" Luffy said. His mind went back to Hancock and Amazon Lily.
"The entire island is run by a pirate family known as the Bling Bling Pirates. They practically run that country, as well as the marine station in that area." Wulwric explained. "They're even the ones who host the Battle Tournament every year."
"The Bling Bling pirates?" the crew asked in confusion.
Robin put her hand to her chin in thought. 'The Bling Bling Pirates? Where have I heard that Name before?'
"So, yeah. That's the whole reason we came to talk." Wulwric finished.
"So you guys interested in it or not?" James asked.
The crew looked at one another. A silent agreement was made then. Luffy then walked up to Wulwric.
"You say this Battle Tournament was held a place called Twilight, right?" He asked.
"Aye." Wulwric answered.
Luffy then smiled and turned to face his crew. "It's decided. We're Going To Twilight!" Luffy yelled as he threw his fist in the air.
"Yeah!" The crew yelled in agreement as they threw their fists in the air as well.
The Iceberg pirates smiled at the Strawhat's gesture while Wulwric laughed in amusement.
"You definitely are one heck of a crew." He said before he turned and walked towards his ship. "We'll see in Twilight then, shall we?" He asked without looking back.
Luffy turned to Wulwric gave him cocky grin. "You bet, just don't seem disappointed when me and my crew kick your asses." He said smugly.
Wulwric smiled smugly as well. "Will see whose crew kicks whose ass, Kid."
With that said he crouched down and then leaped back onto his ship. The rest of his crew followed him.
The Strawhats then heard Wulwric yell a single order to his crew. "Men, Set Sail For Twilight!"
Aye, Aye Chief!" They responded.
Before long, the Strawhats heard the sound of engines powering up before they saw the large ship, slowly starting to move away from the Sunny, heading to the North West.
Luffy ran up to the figure head to see the direction Wulwric's ship was heading.
"That must be were Twilight is." He said out loud with a smile on his face.
"Guys!" He yelled, getting his crew's attention.
"Follow That Ship!" He ordered.
"Aye, Captain." His crew responded before they ran to their positions.
Shortly afterwards, the Sunny was moving again, following the trail of Wulwric's ship, heading to the Strawhat's next adventure.
Luffy stood on the figure head as he looked ahead to see the small dot that was Wulwric's ship in the distance. He smiled as he only had one thought that summarised on what was going to happen next.
"Time for a New Adventure at last."
Well, what do you guys think? Sorry it took so long, I tried to get everyone's personality into this chapter.
Anyway next chapter will introduce the Cannon Foot Pirates, the Mirror Band Pirates, the Brush Pirates and the Bling Bling Pirates.
Look forward to the next chapter, because the action will be starting soon. (Not next chapter, possibly the chapter afterwards.)
Please review, and if you like I can make a cameo appearance of any OCs you want me to add to the Battle Tournament. Just post the OC's name, personality, age, gender, appearance, skills/fighting style/devil fruit, and I'll try to add them to the story.
