Sheaon13: Hello everyone, first things first I wanted to say that the whole blue thing on the oc sheet is where you wanted them to meet. I was only accepting three crew members in the west blue and they have been filled. So the rest of the people unless they're marines or enemies or allies will be met in the grandline. Also the crew members that we have so far will be listed at the end. And since I really didn't make this clear this takes place somewhere between fifty to ninety years after Luffy was executed. The only reason Marco is still alive is due to his devil fruit. Anyway onto the reviews!
sdkop -
Sheaon13: Thank you! And thank you for the oc I want to add her but as I stated just now this takes place a while after Luffy is executed. Fix that and she would be perfect. Onto the next review I guess?
San the child of the wolves -
Sheaon13: Thank yee! Thank yee! I appreciate you reviewing! And that you liked it! I already replied to the second part in the pm I sent you so um yeah… Thine is taken care of!
Ryu: Why the hell are you going all medieval on us?
Levi: gods only knows.
fireandicephoenix: well why not? Why does everyone ask 'why?'. Why not ask why not? Why not is fun! Sometimes.
Sheaon13: ...did you go insane at some point? Or did I corrupt you to an extreme level? Or was it the other way around and you corrupted me? WHo knows *Shrugs* Oh well! It's fun being insane anyway! We have more fun that way!
fireandicephoenix: why not both? Both is always good.
Oliver: And these two are who you should never grow up to be Jai and Eren. Understand?
Jai: yes…? *looking very confused*
Eren: how do we not grow up? I don't understand…
Ryu: let's just get onto the next review before they corrupt us.
motordog -
Sheaon13: I love, love, love, love your ocs! They're amazing! I can't wait to introduce them! Well I introduced so-
Trace: Let it be a surprise! Don't ruin it!
fireandicephoenix: Sheaon13! We have talked about this! No spoilers!
Sheaon13: But, but… fine… *Obviously sulking*
Levi: good
fireandicephoenix: and thank you. We try to have as many different characteristics as we can and everyone is different, just like in real life. Just like and Sheaon13. Just like Levi and Jai. like Eren and Ryu. everyone is different and what makes us different and unique is what makes us. No-one is perfect after all! And everyone is distinct.
Sheaon13: I'm sorry other people that sent in ocs I am kinda biased with these ones because I loved them so much. But worry not only one oc per person in the Kitsune pirates is allowed. At least that's how I feel. And yeah you can send as many ocs as you want for other places like marines or something but only one oc per person is allowed to be in the crew so no matter how much I may like the ocs and believe me I do only one was allowed in the crew. Though only one really fit in the crew to begin with. But I do love all of the other ocs too! They're amazing! And thank you guys so much for sending them in!
Trace: And on that note, onto the next review!
The Gaming Geek Gina -
Sheaon13: Thank you monie me! And yes I know that's not how you say it at all… Or even spell it for that matter… But I don't care! So there! *Sticks tongue out*
fireandicephoenix: it is a good start, isn't it? Well, there's not much more to say… onto the next review I guess?
Sheaon13: Line stealer! But yeah, onto thine next reviewith!
Levi: I am going to kill her.
Pineapples (guest) -
Sheaon13: Can I use this oc as the gunner, not sniper as that position is already on hold for the person that will be sending in an oc, for the kitsune pirates please? I really do like him and yeah...
Levi: she also is thankful you for the character as well.
Sheaon13: Yeppers! Thank thee very much!
fireandicephoenix: yes, thank you everyone who has sent in a character. They are all wonderful.
Eren: Onto the next review?
Sheaon13: Joy it's the last one. Oh well… Time to take this one actually seriously...
Ztk016 -
fireandicephoenix: well that's not very nice to say. If the story is not your cup tea, then you can just that. You didn't have to say, 'this made me vomit' that is quite rude and uncalled for. It's an unnecessary comment. It's not constructive freak back. It is just a rude comment.
Sheaon13: Look don't do it again okay? In all honesty if I wasn't use to comments like this coming from other things I probably would have been extremely upset. But don't post another comment like this on the next chapter or I'm going to report you, okay? I don't want to go that far so just don't read this story.
Chapter 1: Chaos at the Castle
One year later…
A redhead sighed as he looked at his friend and the two twelve year old boys. The copper haired one had just turned twelve. "Thanks for trying to get them to join Eren. But I think Vi likes to scare away potential crew mates. It's become a hobby of his apparently."
"I have no idea what you're talking about," Levi told the redhead. "Trace and Oliver are worse than me."
"That's because one of them tried to hit on Jace and another tried to kidnap Eren. I helped with the one that tried to kidnap my little brother," Ryu told him in an overly sweet tone.
"Well, that one was looking at Jai funny," Levi huffed as he had his little brother sleeping against him, again. "While that guy from two week agos looked at you funny."
"What about that girl from yesterday?" Eren asked as he was eating and swinging his legs over the side of his chair.
"The girl doesn't count," The red haired captain told Eren. "She tried to kill you, and when that didn't work out so well she tried to kidnap you, hold you hostage so we didn't destroy her. Luckily Oliver has always been your shadow! So she didn't really realize that Oliver was there until she was already dead. She lasted the least of a crew member we ever had. Two minutes!"
"He's talking about the girl who flirted with me," Levi sighed annoyedly "Even though I told her I'm not interested, she kept annoying me anyway. She should count herself lucky to even be alive." Muttering that last part to himself. He would get up and move away from her, but had Jai sleeping against him at the time, so he couldn't move and the damn woman used that her advantage to annoy him.
"She doesn't count either," Ryu said. He ended up saying that Levi was his boyfriend to get her to stop. Ryu really did wish that Levi would be his actual boyfriend though. He was way too scared to ask Levi to be his boyfriend. He was terrified of the rejection.
"Why doesn't she count?" the dual haired twelve year old asked his older brother.
"Because I was the one that scared her off the crew," Ryu reminded him.
"Oh, okay!" Eren nodded as Jai woke up and rubbed his eyes.
"What's going on…?" Jai asked with a yawn.
"Nothing baby brother," Levi said as he grabbed his drink. "We were talking about people being scared away from the crew."
"Where are the others anyway?" Ryu asked as he looked around for them. "I mean we did say that we would meet here right? At the tavern right next to the port."
"Yeah we did," Eren nodded his head at his brother as his stomach growled. "I'm hungry…"
"We already ordered food Eren, it'll be here in a bit," the pirate captain told his little brother. "I guess the others are still doing their shopping and stuff…"
"Probably," The black haired teen sighed as he handed his drink to Jai who happily accepted it and had some.
"When are Levi and Ryu going to start dating?" the copper haired cabin boy asked as he was drinking Levi's drink.
"I'm sorry, what?" Levi said looking shocked at that question from his little brother.
"When Ryry-nii confesses," Eren told his brother, ignoring Levi's question. "When are you going to confess Ryry-nii?"
"Yeah Ryu-nii, when are you going to confess?" Jai asked as he looked over at the redhead. But then thought of something. "Should Levi-nii confess first maybe? Then maybe Ryu-nii will be okay to confess too? Or should we confess for them?"
"Guys!" Ryu cried, blushing very badly.
"Stop! Please, for the love of god!" Levi told the two twelve year olds. "I am going to kill papa. Remind me I need to kill papa when we see him next Ru."
"Guys? What's going on?" a blonde asked as he pulled up a seat. He had put everything he had bought on the ship and away in the kitchen and the infirmary. Since Jace had bought the food while he was out getting the things he needed for the infirmary.
"We are trying to get Ryry-nii and Levi-nii to confess," the mostly brown haired boy told him.
"I think this is why Malic wanted Ryu to confess before we left," Jace laughed lightly. "So we didn't have these moments, blush and get embarrassed about it and then avoid each other because of it. But of course, they get mad when others flirt with the other too. I think its cute." Levi looked at Jace seriously. Jace knew that Levi liked Ryu and that Ryu liked Levi. They had both told him and made him swear to not tell the other. "What? It is cute watching you and the captain together."
"Whatever," Levi muttered as he crossed his arms as he was hugging his little brother.
"Okay, done," Trace said as he sat down in a seat. "We eating and leaving?"
"No, we're going to stay here for a few days to look for new crew members, I've already got a few rooms for us," Ryu told Trace. "This island is called Siber Island right?" Trace nodded at that. "Well it's famous for its weapons experts and makers so I was thinking we might find a crew member good enough with that around here."
"One who won't be scared of the likes of us?" Trace asked his captain.
"Maybe if you guys were nicer, you wouldn't scared off so many people," The blonde sighed at them.
"Exactly!" Ryu agreed with a nod. Ryu himself, along with Eren, tended to draw people in but Levi, Oliver and Trace seemed to scare people away and counteract Ryu and Eren's influence.
"That includes you when people flirt with Levi, Ryu," Jace told the redhead and then pointed at Levi. Ryu did his best to make himself invisible at those words. Okay so maybe he had a problem with scaring people when they flirt with Levi. "And it especially includes Lev. You need to stop jumping to conclusions and stop getting pissed every time someone flirts with Ryu."
"I don't get pissed when people flirt with Ryu. I get pissed when they don't back off when he tells him he's not interested," Levi huffed as he looked away. "And I don't jump to conclusions, so I don't know what you're talking about."
"Yes you do and we all know it," Trace laughed at the black haired teen.
"Trace, you need to stop scaring people when they are just talking to me in general," Jace told the black haired older. "I love you and I would never cheat on you. Have a little more faith in me. I don't go scaring away every single person who tries talking to you."
"I do trust and have faith in you! It's others people I don't have faith in!" The black haired twenty six year old told his boyfriend.
"And Oliver, you're meant to be keeping an eye on Eren and Jai, not scaring away potential crew mates," Jace said as he pointed at Oliver who had been here the whole time.
"They have been scaring Jai," Oliver defended himself.
"They were being silly and playing," the doctor told the overprotective babysitter.
"Sometimes it didn't feel like it," Jai muttered under his breath as he handed Levi his back and his brother drunk from the straw.
"Unless they prove themselves trustworthy and stop scaring Jai I will not stop scaring them," the orange haired navigator said, stubbornly.
"I swear to god, sometimes I think I am the only normal one here," Jace sighed out making them all laugh lightly because it was the truth. Despite a few things that don't make the blonde normally, but it was pretty much true.
"Anyway we should probably go rent a room and everything," Ryu said.
"Yeah, we better," Levi nodded in agreement. "But we are also waiting for food. So two of us should book the room or rooms while the others wait here for the food."
"We all sharing the room with a few bedrooms in it? Or we being cheap scapes and just getting the one room and sleeping the floor and coach and stuff again?" Oliver asked the captain. "because I would rather not sleep on the ground or on the coach near Jace and Trace again." Shivering a little as he had not enjoyed hearing the two of the having fun and trying to be quiet about it. "I would much rather sleep and be alone on the ship."
"Yeah we should probably go with the first option," Ryu agreed with a shudder. "I still don't understand why the hell you wanted to do that why we were all sharing a room Trace-nii."
"Not my fault Jace is cute and lovable," Trace huffed to them.
"Why couldn't you wait a day?" the redhead asked, glaring. "I was ready to jump out the window just to not listen to you guys anymore which is why I set your bed on fire." They were kicked out of the inn after that too.
"It was a good thing we had given Jai and Eren the actual bed, so they didn't hear anything," Oliver added in. Levi had slept with them in the bed too, but that's besides the point.
"What I don't get and still don't get, is why the hell you went along with Trace's stupid fucking idea Jace?" the captain asked.
"I didn't mean to!" the blonde blushed like crazy. "I was trying to get him to stop, then he… you know… well… yeah…" Kicking his boyfriend in a shin as he felt wondering fingers. "Stop it! Your so god damn embarrassing Trace!" Trace just shrugged and pulled Jace off his seat and into his lap as he hugged him. "See! Not my fault! He won't listen to me!"
"Why is Trace-nii being weird again?" Jai asked from Levi's lap.
"Because he is a big weirdo," Levi muttered under his breath as he got up and moved Jai from his lap to the seat. "I need to go for a walk. I'll go handle the booking the room. Jace can come with me so Trace can leave him alone." Grabbing the blonde's hand and walking off with him.
"Meanie," Trace mumbled grumpily as Levi walked over to the tavern to book some rooms, or a big room with some bedrooms in it.
"Can we get another a smoothie?" the copper haired boy asked Ryu as he looked to him as he was drinking Levi's drink.
"Sure Jai," Ryu nodded with a smile.
"Yay!" the boy smiled as he sneezed suddenly.
"Are you cold Jai?" Eren asked him.
"I don't think I am..." Jai answered not sure. "Its not like Levi had no shirt on. He's wearing his jacket." Levi's bare skin was normally cold to the touch because of his devil fruit, but other than that, it Levi was normally good to hug and cuddle, because he was warm.
"It's entirely possible that someone is talking about you," the Kitsune Pirates captain said as he pulled Jai into his embrace to keep him warm regardless.
"Maybe," Jai nodded as he sneezed again, covering his mouth and nose when he did.
"I'm worried you might be sick now," Ryu said, frowning as he pulled Jai closer, trying to warm him up. His body temperature tended to be warmer than normal people due to the fire demon devil fruit he ate.
"I dont feel sick…" Jai commented as he felt his forehead. "Do I feel sick?"
"Let me see," Oliver said feeling Jai's forehead. "You don't feel overly cold or hot… Jace would probably be better to do it though. Since he is our doctor."
"I feel fine," Jai said as he sneezed again. "Did I take my medicine today? I can't remember…"
"Yeah, at breakfast," Eren nodded his head. "if Jai is getting sick, does mean we can't sleep together?"
"Until he is better, that would be right," Oliver told the boy.
"Eren would just sneak into the bed with Jai and then Vi would just sleep with them regardless of whatever anyone said. He did that before… I wasn't allowed to sleep with any of them either," Ryu sighed remembering that time. That really hadn't been fun. Though he had managed to sneak into the room eventually, he hardly slept at all during that time until he finally managed that. Every time he closed his eyes without Levi near him, he would see his parents dead bodies.
"Depending on if Jai gets a fever or if he gets cold, he won't be able to sleep with Levi or Ryu," Trace sighed lightly. He knew that wouldn't stop them, Levi and Ryu always found a way to be in the same bed with the two boys somehow. Or sometimes just one of them, Normally when the bed wasn't big to find the four of them in it. "Not that would stop you guys anyway. It just means that one of you will have to be at the end or something."
"That's because we always sleep together! Right Ryry-nii?" Eren smiled as he then suddenly clapped his hands in front of Jai's face. "No going back to sleep Jai. You won't sleep tonight."
"You mean because Vi basically forces me to sleep with you guys ever since he found out about the nightmares," Ryu pointed out.
"Like I said, we always sleep together!" the older, by a few months, cabin boy smiled as Jai was rubbing his eyes.
"I know that Jai has narcolepsy and all, so he can sometimes randomly fall asleep," Trace commented as he looked at the kid. "But I don't think I have seen him this tired after sleeping for like two hours."
"I have, but its normally at night," Eren told Trace. "How does Trace-nii know he loves Jace-nii?"
"I'm sorry?" the first mate said looking confused by Eren's question.
"How do you know you love Jace?" Eren repeated. "That you want to kiss on the lips and things."
"Master Eren, that isn't anything you need to worry about until you're older. Much older," Oliver told his young charge. Trace had a slightly red face from the question and didn't seem to know how to answer that, nor did he even know of he should answer that. "Isn't that right captain?"
"Yeah you shouldn't ask until you're older," Ryu agreed.
"Why are you asking Eren…?" Trace asked, deciding that was the beat course of action.
"So I can get Levi-nii and Ryry-nii together," Eren told him cheerily. "And to work out of I show kiss jai or ot. Because I love him!"
"Brotherly love and the other kind of love is completely different. You'll understand when you're older," Ryu told Eren, blushing. "And me and Vi don't like each other like that."
"Yes you do," Jai and Eren said at the same time.
"The almost twins are right captain," the green eyed navigator told the redhead. "You two do like each other like that."
"I heard from Jace that Levi had a wet dream involving you~" Trace teased his redhead charge.
"What's a wet dream?" Jai asked.
Ryu hit Trace on the top of the head. "Nothing you need to know about until you're older."
Trace laughed a little at the redhead's even redder face as Oliver was sighing and looked at Trace. "And how did you manage to get that out of Jace?" the orange haired retainer asked the the black haired retainer. Jace wasn't one to tell others what others told him.
"Well, I more overheard Jace and Levi talking as I was sleeping off the nightwatch in the infirmary and was sleeping on Jace's lap," Trace told Oliver truthfully. "Levi came in and it woke me up hearing him and Jace talking. So I heard it from Levi himself that he likes you as more than brothers and more than a friend Ry~"
"Trace stop it," Ryu told him. "I can handle the teasing, just don't lie about hearing Vi say things."
"I'm not lying," the black haired first mate told the redhead.
"You are," Ryu told him as he got up and handed Jai to Oliver. "I'm going for a walk. I'll be back later."
"Can I come?" Eren asked his brother.
"Alright," Ryu nodded. He just really couldn't be near Trace at the moment he hated it when people lied. "Jai do you wanna come to?"
"Yes please!" Jai nodded as he got out of Oliver's hold and grabbed Ryu's hand.
"Alright let's go," Ryu smiled at the two. "Oliver you stay here with Trace okay?" Saying this as he walked off with his brothers.
"I'm sorry, what?" the twenty-five year old said as they were walking off. "Trace, is it really a good idea to let them walk off without us?"
"It's small island and it's not like they'll be going very far anyway," Trace said waving off. "What kind of trouble can they really get into?"
"This Prince Ryu and Prince Eren we're talking about Trace, what kind of trouble can they not get into?" Oliver pointed out to him.
"Okay, good point," Trace sighed heavily. "You go after them, I'll come once Jace and Levi get back."
"You really should've said something before Trace… They already are out of sight," Oliver said, looking annoyed. Why did Ryu think it was a good idea a few seconds ago to transform into his kitsune form and get Jai and Eren to ride him then take off at full speed?! He was going to kill him.
"Okay the rooms are all organi- where's Ryu and the boys?"
With Ryu and the cabin boys…
"That's a big castle… huh, I knew they had a king and all, but why would they make the castle complete with a mote? And an alligator… and for that matter how did they do that?" Ryu asked as he looked at the thing. "Makes me wonder what sort of people live there… let's find out!"
"Are we going to get in trouble for this?" Jai asked the redhead.
"Who cares? We're pirates! We can do whatever we want, right Ryry?" Eren grinned to the redhead. Trying to make Jai feel better.
"Yep!" Ryu nodded. "Plus it'll be fun! Let's go!" Saying this as he took several steps back and did a running leap over the wall, after transforming into his kitsune form again. He had transformed back as soon as they got to the huge castle. The two boys climbed on his back again quickly before he took off.
"Is this going to be great!" the red tipped cabin boy grinned.
"I don't know… I have a bad feeling..." Jai said softly. He didn't like the looks of the castle. What if something happens? It's not like him or Eren are strong or anything…
"What's with the smoke over there?" Ryu asked as he walked over to what looked to be a blacksmiths forge. There was a girl with medium length dirty blonde hair that turned rose gold toward the end and it was pulled up in a bun and she had a lot of scars but not in a way that made her look ugly or anything. She was wearing a black tank top and dark jeans tucked into brown boots. She looked to be hammering down a weapon, making it perfect. Ryu transformed back to normal. "Hey, what are you doing?"
"Go away, I'm busy," She told him in annoyance. She was working, couldn't he see that?
"What you busy doing?" Eren asked as he was looking around in interest.
"What is this place…?" Jai asked as he hide behind Ryu, but around in wonder.
"I'm making a weapon, and this is my workshop. Now go away. I'm working!" She snapped at them. She never was one to hold her temper after all. Unfortunately this lapse in concentration caused her to break the blade she was working on and it served to make her angrier. "Look what happened because of you! My poor blade! It never even got to go out there in the world!"
Jai had tears in his eyes as he fully hid behind Ryu and buried his face into the redhead's back.
"You're mean," Eren huffed at the lady. "You should go out into the world. Who cares about stupid blade. And you should be nicer!"
"What do you think I'm trying to do you little brat?! I tried to escape several times already! But the fucking king just decided that no I can't escape because I'm his best blacksmith," She said annoyed. "Look, I'm sorry for yelling and screaming at you, it's just I don't like to be disturbed while I'm working. And I don't really have the greatest temper… Sorry…" She looked sheepish.
"It's okay. I would be annoyed to if someone accidentally made me mess up one of my poisons. I guess it's the same with you when you're making your weapons huh?" Ryu asked as Eren was patting Jai on the back. The copper haired boy gets scared and upset easily.
"Yeah, I want the weapon to be perfect and I can't make it that way unless I give it my full concentration. And if it isn't perfect, it isn't ready to be sent out into the world," she told him. "Oh, I should introduce myself huh? I'm Castia."
"I'm Ryu, this is Eren and Jai, my little brothers," the captain told her. "Nice to meet you. And I'm sorry about causing what happened with the sword."
"It's hot in here..." Jai sniveled to the redhead.
"Yeah, that's why I'm wearing a tank top. Come on, I'll take you guys to my house if you want," Castia told them. Her house and workshop were both in the courtyard of the palace. The king wouldn't let her live anywhere else.
"I just realised… your shorter than me… sure it's by a centimeter, but your shorter than me!" Ryu cheered. He had never met someone that was shorter than him before. Not even Levi. She was about 157 centimeters tall and he was 158 centimeters.
"Hey! I'll have you know that I like being short!" She huffed.
"Really?" the redhead asked, not buying it.
"...No…" Castia admitted. "But that doesn't mean you have to point it out!"
"But she's a girl, aren't girls normally shorter than boys?" Eren commented and asked.
"We're shorter than you Ryu-nii… why does it matter if she's taller than me and Eren?" Jai asked as he rubbing his tears away from his eyes.
"No! Don't ruin this moment!" the eighteen year old whined. Castia looked to be about three years older than redhead, making her probably about twenty-one. "Because she looks like she's around my age and you guys are just twelve so it doesn't count!"
"I'm right here you know!" She huffed.
"How old are you Miss Castia?" Jai asked as he still hiding behind Ryu.
"Twenty-one," She responded.
"Your pretty!" Eren smiled to Castia. "If Ryry didn't like Levi. I want him to date you!"
"I don't like girls," Ryu reminded Eren. "Ignore my little matchmaker of a little brother please." Castia was beet red at what was just said, not having expected it at all.
"Um well," Castia coughed to regain control over her blush. Why were all the good looking guys gay or taken? "We're here." Motioning to her house in front of her.
"How does someone know if they like guys or girls?" the younger prince asked Ryu as they were following Castia.
"You'll know when you're older, don't worry about it now," The captain told him.
"Can you guys wait right there while I get changed out of my work clothes?" She asked.
"Okay!" Eren nodded.
"You should have a shower. You're hair is a little dirty," Jai said softly as he was still hiding behind Ryu. "Levi-nii wouldn't like it. He likes things and people being neat and clean."
"Alright, thank you Jai," Castia smiled at him. "I will."
Jai smiled back shyly as he half hiding behind Ryu. "I like Castia! She should join the crew Ryu-nii! She's nice when he isn't yelling or mad. Levi-nii will like her! She can help him with his daggers! And Ollie can have a girlfriend! Oliver needs a girlfriend."
"Disregarding the last bit about Oliver, I think she should too," Ryu agreed.
"You guys are pirates?" Castia asked in shock. "I thought you guys were guards! Shit. You have to leave! Now!"
"What do yo-" Ryu was going to say something but he was suddenly knocked out by a man in armor. As he fell it was easy to see the men in the doorway now.
"Now, now Castia you know better than to have visitors," The guard said with a vicious smirk. "Don't want us to kill them like the last ones do you?"
"Don't you dare touch them!" she snarled.
"Ryry…." Eren said worryingly as he moved over to his brother.
"Ryu… I have a bad feeling..." Jai told the redhead and the brown haired boy his young as he went back hiding fully behind the redhead the best he could. "I want Levi-nii..." It was clear that the twelve year was terrified.
"Well your brother isn't coming, whoever he is. And this one is going to be killed," The guard said, stomping on the knocked out teen's back.
"Stop it!" Castia shouted as she slammed into the guard, knocking him on his back. The other guards immediately restrained her. "Let me go! I'm going to kill him for hurting my friend! Let go!"
"Eren..." Jai said looking to him. "What do we do?" The copper haired boy was on the verge of tears.
"He's your friend huh? Well I guess we could use him as leverage. He's better alive than dead for now then," the guard said, stomping on the redhead again after getting up. He did it to spite Castia. "Put seastone cuffs on him. I saw him transform earlier. Put the same on the kids just in case and bring them to the dungeon with me." Ording the men as they started to take the crew away. One of the men knocked their best blacksmith out and left.
A few minutes later with Levi…
"Ru..." Levi said knowing that something was wrong. He didn't know how he knew, but he just knew that something was wrong and where it was coming from too.
"Levi?" Jace said as he noticed the other get up and run off. Where was he going?! Why did just leave the blonde alone?! Trace and Oliver told them to stay here while they went to look for Ryu, Eren and Jai, in case the three came back from their 'walk'. Jace didn't like being on his own like this. It made him jumpy and a little paranoid.
"Here's your food!" a waitress smiled as she put it on the table and Jace jumped not expecting it. Another waitress was helping her as they had ordered a bit of food. "Where did your friends go?"
"That's a good question..." Jace muttered as he sat back down, but kept his hand on a dagger, just in case something happened. He wasn't sure if something would happen, but it was better to be safe than sorry right?
"Well, let us know if you end up needing us to put any of this into take away containers for you," the waitress smiled as her and the other one walked off. They were both smiling and giggling and whispering.
Jace was sure it was about him and him being 'cute' and 'alone' now. The waitress were normally whispering about him, Trace or Levi. Sometimes they whisper about Ryu and Oliver, but not a lot. He hoped that Oliver or Trace got back soon, or even Ryu, Jai and Eren. Jace didn't like being felt on his own like this. He really hated it. Just where the hell did Levi run off to on Jace anyway?
"Oh gods…" One of the waiters said, just coming out of her shock that she had gone into as soon as she saw the direction Levi rushed off into. "Please tell me your friend didn't just rush off that way!" Pointing in the direction that Levi had rushed off to. "If he did, he's going to die! That's the king's palace! No one goes there and lives!" The other waitresses froze upon hearing that. They all knew this was true. No one stepped foot unto the king's palace and survived. Not unless they were the king's personale. And they all knew better than to charge the king's personale too. They would be dead within a minute.
"I hope for your king's sake that he didn't or hasn't hurt our friends who have gone for a walk," the blonde said not worried about it at all. "Otherwise, it's your King who is going to die. Levi doesn't take it lightly when people have what he considers his. Especially if they have hurt those he considers his. Believe it or not, but Levi is probably the strongest of us." Especially when he loses temper.
"It would be a relief if our king died," a bolder of the waitresses said.
"Shh! Koro! You don't want the king's men to kill you! If they hear you say that, you're done for!" another waitress shushed her.
"If he's your strongest then how come he's not your captain? A captain has to be the strongest in the crew, or at least he should be in equal strength with your captain if he's stronger than he's the captain and the marines won't respect anything else," One of the patrons commented. "I mean, they always see the strongest as the captain, so if your captain is weak then this Levi will be your captain, whether you like it or not. He may not be the captain to you but to the marines Levi will be the captain."
"I guess? I don't know. I would probably more think the marines would think that Levi is the weakest member of our crew. It's not like he shows off his true strength," Jace shrugged as if it was unimportant as he was eating. "It's not like any of us are weak in truth. Levi just has more training. Not as much training as Trace and Oliver mind you, since they're older than us. But they have had different training. One thing I do know, people see Levi and they see a fragile person and because he looks fragile, that makes everyone think he is weak and he is anything but." Then laughing lightly. "Not like Ryu is that much weaker than Levi. If you have watched them spar as much as I have, you see the experience difference. They both have different fighting styles. Ryu prefers to annoy his opponents and play with them while Levi uses his opponents own strength against them. Though, when needed, they can both take an opponent out with one hit."
"Is that so?" The patron asked. "Huh, I guess you are right. He was pretty scrawny looking. Then again what do I know? I'm just a passing sailor after all."
"Unless people know us, they have no idea what any of us are capable of," Jace commented off handily as Oliver turned up. "And the last thing I would do. Is underestimate Ryu and Levi. They are one deadly combination. Hey Oliver, did you find the captain and the boys?"
"Not yet," Oliver sighed as he looked at his watch. "I'll looked everywhere on the south side of the island. I have a bad feeling… damn it Ryumi. Where did you, Jai and Eren go?" Then Oliver noticed something. "Jace, where did Levi go?"
"Towards the castle where the king lives apparently," Jace answered as he was eating and had a more relaxed posture. "He said something that I didn't hear and just took off. Leave me, and I will knock you out."
Oliver laughed nervously and sat down. Jace wasn't happy and he the blonde would literally knocked him out if he tried to leave. "I would never dream of it. I'll call Trace and let him know what was is going on." Pulling out a snail. "Trace, it's me. Levi apparently went to the castle. You want to head there and make sure he doesn't do something stupid and get the marines attention on us again?"
"Roger that Ollie, on my way," Trace said over the snail before he hang up.
"It wouldn't surprise me that Ryu went to the castle," Jace told Oliver as he handed him some food. "He was probably went to check out and has gotten himself and he boys in some kind of trouble. Why the hell did you and Trace ever think it was a good idea to let those three go off on their own? You know how much of a trouble magnet Ryu can be. And either Eren or Jai get kidnapped easily. I swear to god, they have a sign on themselves somehow that says kidnappable or something." Sighing as his eyes were scanning the room and he kept his hand on his dagger. He didn't know who or what it was, but something was giving him a bad feeling. It was like there was an unseen danger somewhere near them or something. So the blonde was going to make sure to be on his guard.
"Relax kid, I'm not going to hurt you," the patron from earlier told Jace. "I'm off work today. Plus you kids don't even have bounties yet. And even then, I'm pretty lazy when it comes to performing my duty as a marine admiral."
Jace and Oliver both froze for a moment. Did this guy just say he was a marine admiral?
"I'm Marine Admiral Izumi Kasuki, nice to meet you Kitsune pirates," the purple haired patron smiled at them. "Like I said before, it's my day off and you guys don't have bounties. Plus you remind me of my old friend. He was a pirate as well. A shame he didn't make it to wherever Monkey D. Luffy hid the one piece though. He was so close. We met on the island that Monkey D. Luffy hid it and had a fight to see if he would get the one piece or if I would get to capture him. It's pretty sad when it happened. He seemed so happy in the end to. Even if he didn't get the one piece, he said he was glad one of us accomplished our dreams." Izumi had always been like he was and him and his friend had always promised to meet on the island the one piece was on and have last confrontation. They always knew it would come to this ever since they were kids. It was Izumi's dream to become an admiral and his the King of the Pirates, so they always promised to meet at the island there at the end.
"How do you know who we are if we don't have bounties?" Oliver said narrowing his eyes. Just who the hell does this marine Admiral think he is?
"I was here when you docked," Izumi told him. "It's not like you guys hid it either. I mean I don't know your names though. All I know is your the kitsune pirates and that you have crew mate named Levi. I didn't really pay attention till now about your names in all honesty."
"Seriously?" Jace said and asked in shock. Everyone else in the tavern dining outside area were a little surprised about that as well. Jace said out loud what they were all thinking. "Wait, why was Levi's name the only one you know?"
"Malic's brother James says hi. He told me to tell you that. That's the only reason why I paid attention to that name. James said his nephew's name was Levi and to say hi to him if I saw him."
"Then why didn't you say hello or say anything to him when he was here?" the orange haired male asked as he looked at the marine who had the day off a little seriously.
"He was here?" Izumi asked, looking surprised. "Really? I didn't know how he looked and I was kinda in a hurry to get to my vacation that I didn't really pay attention to James other than the word Levi and say hi." Izumi just laughed it off. "Oh well can't change it now and it really doesn't matter."
This marine was weird.
"Okay…. He was the shorter one with black hair. Like Malic… he has Henry's blue eyes," Jace sighed feeling tired. "His little brother Jai is the one with the copper hair like Henry's and red eyes like Malic has. I thought if you knew James that you would have met Malic and would have be able to put the pieces together yourself." Though, now that Jace thinks about it. Who's personality does Levi have? He doesn't Malic or Henry's personalities, neither of them are as serious as Levi is. Sure, Levi's parents could both be serious when they wanted to be. But neither were serious all the time, like Levi was.
"Oh? Really? I guess I should've recognized him then. He acted the same as James too now that I think about it. Oh well," Izumi shrugged, not really caring.
"You're an odd one," Oliver laughed at the marine. "I like this guy Jace. if he wasn't a marine, I would totally tell Ryu he should join the crew."
The whole island shook suddenly as it got cold and slowly started to snow. Ice seemed to covering the castle and Jace sighed as he smiled o the waitress. "Could you please pack these away and hold onto them for us? It's seems we better go."
"Should I get the ship to sail and you go see if we get a refund?" Oliver said looking to Jace seriously.
"No. I don't think we will get run off the island," Jace shook his head to Oliver. "But we should be ready to fight, just in case."
"Right," the navigator nodded as his hands on his guns.
'Damn it Levi, what the hell are you getting yourself into?' Jace thought as he looked over to the castle, then looked to Oliver. "Let's go. The others will probably need our help."
"Right behind you," Oliver nodded as they took off running. Jace was more saying that it was the guards that they would have to fight and have to worry about then the people themselves.
At the castle, in the outer grounds…
Levi kicked one of the guards in the side of the neck. Everyone heard a sickening crack as the man went flying off to the side and slammed into the wall. Whoever the hell this back haired guy is, he was making the guards shit themselves. He was beyond terrifying as he undid the sea-stone chain from around his arm. Whoever this was, they were a devil fruit eater and sea-stone barely seemed to slow him down or stop him. There was a burn mark on his arm where the chain sea-stone had been.
The guards had no idea what happened, one moment everything was fine and peaceful and they were talking about the new prisoners. Then next they knew, there was a person flying over the wall and landing safely on their feet on the ground. Oh, and when one of them looked over the at the moat, it was frozen solid.
After they were confused for a moment and the teen asked one of them something, who hesitated and said something back. The black haired teen said something again to himself before attacking them. From there, the teen has been, not that the king's guards wanted to admit it, this kid that came out of nowhere, has been kicking their asses.
"We're done for…" one of the guards cried. "I want my mommy!"
"Where are they?" he glared at the men who shaking.
"Where are who? Look we don't know who the hell you are talking about and if we did we would give you them to you, just so you'd leave us alone!" another guard cried.
"My Ru! My little brothers! Give them back to me!" the black haired male snarled.
"...I don't know which is scarier, him or the king…." another guard said, realising who he was talking about. "...I think I'm more afraid of the king…"
"Yeah… So we better keep him from getting to our prisoners, regardless of how scared we are…"
"Don't test my patience," the black haired said with an evil aura now oozing from him. "Where are they?"
With Ryu…
"Ow… okay whatever hit me hurt…" The redhead said, waking up, his hands chained to the wall in seastone. Jai and Eren were clinging to his sides even with their hands bound. "What the hell? What's going on? Fuck. That's seastone."
"Ryry!" Eren said in relief. "You're awake!"
"I want Levi..." Jai cried as he was clinging to the redhead and a crying mess.
"I know…" Ryu said, trying to comfort Jai. Too bad he couldn't move his hands from the wall. "It's okay… shh… everything is alright."
"Everything isn't alright! We're in prison!" Jai cried and screamed. "You can't use your powers and no-one knows where we are!"
"Vi will rescue us it's okay…" Ryu told him. If he could just get out of the seastone he wouldn't need to wait.
"Jai, can you do the thing that Levi-nii has been trying to teach us?" Eren asked his the other boy. "The thingy with your hands and the cuffs."
"No..." Jai said shaking his head. "I haven't gotten it right yet and theses are different to the ones Levi has been teaching me to break out of..."
"Oh… um… fo you have a pin or something? Do you have a pin or something? Maybe we could try to pick the locks or something?" Eren said trying to think of something.
"Um… I have a paper clip..." the copper haired cabin boy said pulling it off his shirt sleeve. "But I don't know how to pick locks..." Not looking at either of them. There was something that he could try, but he didn't want to do it. It hurt when he practises it and Levi says to only do it as a very last resort, since it does hurt.
"What's up Jai?" Eren asked the copper haired boy. He knew something was up with the look.
"Nothing..." Jai said giving Eren the paperclip.
"I don't know how to pick locks either..." the brown haired cabin boy sighed depressingly.
"I do, but the problem is me not having my hands free. I'll guide you through picking my lock okay Ren?" Ryu asked.
"Okay!" Eren nodded to his brother.
Somewhere unknown in the North Blue…
"Why exactly are you coming to me to help with your problem. Your a marine do it yourself. Oh wait, that's right you assholes just leave people to rote so never mind you won't do it," a fishman with slick black hair and white skin with odd spots and blue discolouration that was mostly visible around his eyes and eyebrows growled at the government official.
"Huh, I guess you don't care about that island in the West Blue then. I guess they're just going to suffer in slavery thanks to the pirate there. I mean, we came to you because you were a bounty hunter and the strongest out there Jigen, but I guess you were just a big wimp when it came down to it. How sad," the government official stated. The fishman snarled again before getting up and heading out the door. "You'll need a ride too you know. And marines have the only way to cross the calm belt." The fishman waited outside for the marines despite really not wanting to work with them at all. He mostly wished the marines would just go drown in the ocean. That would save everyone the grief they brought. But that was not to be, sadly. Oh well, beggars can't be choosers. Besides like hell he was going to leave people to suffer the same fate he did. He knew the only reason why the marines were even looking to him for this was because he kinda had track record for taking out those bounties of those who had been slavers. He guessed he really didn't have a choice though. Oh well, to the West Blue he goes.
At another unknown location, West Blue…
"I'm bored guys," a cute scary looking little girl said to the crew she was in. She also looked like those little girls that you see in horror movies. She specifically had purple hair, grey eyes and pale skin. She looked to be about ten or so. She was wearing a pale pink dress with white frills, white stockings, pink shoes and a straw hat on top of her head that was decorated with pink and white ribbons along with flowers. "And you know what that means~ If you don't find some way to alleviate my boredom I'm going to play with you~"
"Now hang on Emma-chan, I really don't think the captain would let you be bored for long and the last time we ended up joining you in your play time, we couldn't move for weeks so I really don't think you should do that again!" a fat looking chef with a cockroach crawling over him growled. The cockroach's name was Ichi. And whenever one Ichi died another would pop up. The chef was the kind of fat chef that would scare you in your nightmares. He wore a dirty tank top, a stained butcher apron that looked like it was stained with blood, dirty shorts and a chefs hat. He didn't look to have any neck just rolls of fat and was average height. He was also bald but had a scruffy and unshaven face.
"Awe but it was fun, Goa!" Emma-chan pouted.
"No it wasn't!" the whole crew minus a solid black bunny looking creature called a lapahn, shouted.
"Meanies," Emma-chan pouted.
"Calm down Emma-chan, I see a vessel ahead, so you can go have fun with the pirates aboard that ship," the captain of their crew that had pale skin and longish black hair. He was wearing a long black great coat, a white loose shirt, long pants tucked into black cuffed boots, a purple vest over the top and a blood red sash worn like a belt. All and all he seemed to paint the picture of a very Dracula esque vampire. It didn't help that he ate the bat-bat fruit either. Come to think of it, all of the crew looked ver nightmare inducing. Then again, that might just be the reason they were called the Nightstalker Pirates. Seeing as it is a known fact that evil and all things creepy crawly stalked the night.
"Okay Captain Johann," the little girl said in a subdued tone. She wanted to have fun now! The black bunny creature nuzzled her, trying to cheer her up. "Awe! Thank you King Coal! You're the sweetest!"
