Chapter 2: A Strom to Remember
"Wow, so this is what the king of the pirates saw before he died" luffy said as he stood on the top of the execution platform. "You're crazy Luffy" hunter said with a smile on her face, no soon had they both gotten to the plaza luffy had charged straight for the platform and climbed straight to the top to get a look at what the view was like.
"Come on Hunter, don't you want to see what he saw before they killed him it great" as luffy yelled Hunter's attention was on a group of clothed people whom looked very weird, "Hey are you listening" Luffy yelled again", "Ya ya but I don't have a death wish to be noticed by the marines" Hunter yelled back. "You're no fun" luffy said as he went back to observing the view Hunter on the other hand noticed that the clocked fellows had all disappeared "Now where'd they go" she thought to herself.
"Hey you get down right now" said a police officer as he yelled at luffy, Hunter knew this would happen but she knew convincing luffy to get down would be pointless somehow she knew he would go up there even if he was told no. "Why" luffy replied back Hunter covered her face with a look of disbelief, how could he be so dense to why he should get down, "Your standing on property that belongs to the world government now get down" said the officer, "ok but only if you say please, then I'll get down" hunter held back a laugh as luffy spoke back to the officer.
"That it" as the officer moved to get luffy off the platform a large mace sent him flying, "Long time no see Luffy" said the strange woman, Hunter was confused who was this woman and how she know luffy. Luffy looked puzzled from what the woman had said from what Hunter could tell luffy didn't know this woman at all. "That rude you forgetting my face since you're the one who sent me flying" said the woman, "What you talking about I've never seen you in my life" said luffy with an even more puzzled look on his face "oh but you did hit me with those strong hands of yours and now I'm going to make you all mine luffy" as the woman said this Hunter couldn't help but look shocked at what this woman was saying.
"Is she crazy or just stupid" Hunter thought "eww that gross who are you anyway" luffy said with a look at disgust on his face "You still haven't figured it out yet" said the woman, "freeze your under arrest" as more officers came to arrest the woman Hunter moved in closer to the platform so she could be ready to get luffy out if trouble started. "Are you sure you want to do that" the woman said Hunter could tell on the officers faces they were having a hard time thinking on what to do, she was using her beauty to keep the men from arresting her, then all of a sudden the fountain blew up sending the officer flying in all directions as well as pieces of the fountain, a large piece was heading straight for the woman hunter thought she was dead before it slipped right by her and landed in the crowd around them.
"What just happen" Hunter thought she saw the piece of the fountain hit the woman but it went straight by her like holding onto wet soap, "That was dangerous you know" said the woman to the clocked figure by her. "Sorry for the commotion but you aren't hurt precious Alvida", "Alvida" said luffy with the same confused face from before luffy had definitely heard the figure say Alvida, "I don't see Alvida" as luffy said this it was obvious that the woman was called Alvida but hunter could tell that luffy was thinking of someone else. "Don't be so dense I'm Alvida" yelled the woman to luffy, "You sure cause you don't look like her" luffy said scratching his head with a confused face, "I guess I did change after eating the smooth smooth fruit" said Alvida as she took off her clock to revealing a smooth curvy body.
Hunter could tell that what Alvida had said was true no other woman possessed a smooth body as she did, but still Hunter had to wonder what she looked like before because she had heard the name Alvida before but couldn't think where. "After gaining the new body I went looking for someone who had the same goal of finding you" said Alvida as she pointed to the clocked figure behind her, Hunter could hear the clocked figure laughing and no soon had he started laughing had he revealed who he was.
"Surprise Straw Hat It's me" said buggy the clown as he and his crew revealed themselves Hunter couldn't believe that this man was Buggy the clown, she'd heard he was a ruthless pirate but she could believe he looked like that. "Really he looks like a circus act with no good jokes" Hunter thought as she looked at the group of pirates and their captain "Do I know you" luffy said to Buggy "wait you don't remember me you sent my flying with half my body" Buggy yelled at luffy "Not really, know what you say your name was baggy, baffy, oh I know buffoon" as luffy said those name Hunter laughed at the names luffy had just said.
"Buffoon you rubber bastard buggy the clown will make you pay for that" buggy yelled in anger, "Hey he said buggy the clown" said one of the citizen in the back, "Pirates" said another then all at once the citizens noticed who the man was "It's the buggy pirates" as they screamed and ran off. "Don't run off you'll miss the entertainment I've set up" as buggy ordered his men to stop the crowd leaving, "oh ya it buggy right" said luffy, "You mean you've just remembered" buggy said with surprise. Then suddenly Hunter heard a crash on top of the platform and moved in front to see that luffy was pinned down to the platform by one of buggy's crew members, Hunter knew luffy was in trouble but she could do anything without provoking buggy to kill luffy she had to think how to get luffy off the platform without killing him in the process.
As hunter thought through every plan she had none gave her any way to saving luffy without him getting killed, as she moved further out to get a better look at luffy situation she saw that the sky had turned black with all the rain cloud but hunter knew these were more than mere rain clouds a storm was coming and she knew something was about to happen that might change everything for her.
"Have any last words to say Monkey D Luffy" shouted buggy from a top the platform hunter knew in that instant buggy was getting ready to kill luffy she had to do something now or she would lose her first friend in years, "Listen, I'M THE MAN WHO'LL BE KING OF THE PIRATES" as luffy shouted those words to the entire crowd Hunter smiled at what luffy had just said. No one in years had dared say those words in logue town, many would say they were crazy or stupid but Hunter knew luffy was both these things and that what separated him to those who just dreamed and those who didn't do anything but laugh at dreams.
"Aaarrrr" Hunter heard several of buggy's men scream in pain before she noticed two men standing over them, one was a tall muscled man with green hair and the other wore a black suit and was holding a cigarette in his mouth. "Luffy you idiot" the tall one spoke with a deep voice, Hunter knew then that both these men were in luffys crew she now knew what to do to save luffy now they were here. "you made it Zoro but your too late" said buggy Hunter had to act quickly so she jumped out of her hiding place under the platform and drew out Tobishima and cut straight though one of buggy's men and then turned to counter another one from hitting her in the back.
"Don't you dare hit a woman you bastard" as the man in the suite came by her side and kicked two more of buggy's crew away, "Thanks for that" hunter said as she charged to the platform "Your welcome Beautiful" said the man with heart shaped eye pointing at her Hunter could tell this man loved woman who were pretty or good looking she was going to have to get along with this man though she hated being referred as pretty by men.
"Come on we have to get luffy off the platform" said the man named Zoro as Hunter cut through another lot of buggy's men it was becoming more difficult to get to luffy "Damn will never make it" Hunter thought as she saw buggy raise his sword above his head, "Zoro, Sanji, Ussop, Nami, Hunter, Sorry but I'm dead" luffy said as buggy brought his sword down, before any of them could react Hunter noticed that luffy was smiling why was he smiling before he was about to die but before she could think up a reason a flash of lighting struck the platform and a flash of light blinded her for a second.
As the light disappeared Hunter saw the remains of the platform from where the lighting had struck and in front of it was a boy picking up his hat, "Hahaha I'm still alive, that's nice" luffy said with a happy look on his face. Hunter was shocked how did luffy survive a lighting strike like that when it left bubby burned to a crisp on the floor of the plaza. "That was divine intervention" said Sanji from what Hunter had deduced from the name luffy had called out that was his name, "Don't be ridicules, anyway we need to get out of here before the marines catch us" as Zoro said it marines started to pour in everywhere. "Damn Smoker must have had the entire area sealed off, we need to go now" Hunter yelled at the guys as she countered a marine's blade.
"She's right let's get going" as Sanji said it all four of them started running for the nearest street, "The straw hats are getting away" screamed a marine behind them "After them" as a group of marines chased after them, Hunter kept running not looking back to see who was after them just as they got further down the street Hunter noticed a woman standing in the middle of the street drenched in water from the rain.
"So your Zoro, all this time you were him and you just lied in my face" said the woman, Hunter knew who the woman was and she didn't really care what problem she had with Zoro, her name was sergeant major Tashigi she was a sword fanatic Hunter hated her because of the many time she tried to take Tobishima from her. Something about her not being worthy of holding a legendry sword was Tashgi's excuse Hunter thought it was because she just wanted the sword for herself, "What you do to that woman" Sanji shouted to Zoro "I didn't lie to you, you just never asked me for my name so there" Zoro said with a cheeky grin on his face.
"Give me the Wado Ichimonji right now" yelled Tashigi but Zoro drew his sword and pointed it to her "Come and get it" Zoro was provoking her and she fell for it and started attacking him "Go I'll catch up" Zoro said as they passed them "You hurt her Zoro then you're in big trouble" Sanji yelled at him as the ran further way.
As they ran down the street Hunter noticed a man was waiting for them she knew instantly who this man was, heck everyone in this whole town knew the man wore a white a grey jacket with no shirt underneath it and wore simple navy blue pants with combat boots. He had two cigars in his mouth and had the look of fierceness on him this man Hunter knew as Captain Smoker the man whom she had given the slip for the pass year.
"So you both final arrived, Straw Hat Luffy and you to Hunter" Smoker said with the same look he always had when they met, "Hunter you know who this guy is" luffy asked as he moved beside her "Ya his names Smoker Be careful he's very skilled and he more powerful than any marine that's on this island" as Hunter told luffy Sanji moved up to luffy "We should go" he said to luffy but Hunter knew Smoker would let them pass so eagerly. "Sanji you go on up ahead we'll meet you there" luffy told Sanji as smoker moved closer to fight them Sanji ran by them to get to the ship.
As the rain started pouring down heavier both Hunter and luffy looked at Smoker and waiting to see who would strike first, "I will make to the grandline and become king of the pirates" luffy said as the rain poured down his hat. "I'm bored enough talk" as smoker spoke he raised his arms and instantly they turn into smoke and surrounded both luffy and Hunter.
"What the hell" Hunter spoke as the smoke encased her; she found she was struggling as if she was being held by someone's hand "I ate the Smoke Smoke fruit so I can turn my body to smoke whenever I want" smoker told them and it made sense to Hunter this was what prevent other pirates from leaving the island and why he turned up in placed hunter knew was difficult to chase to down too when she had been stealing.
As Hunter tried to get free of smokers grip he slammed her into the ground so hard it nearly made her lose conscience, "Bastard Gum Gum Pistol" luffy screamed as he attack smoker Hunter saw luffys arm stretch and came to the realization on how luffy survived the lighting strike, he was a devil fruit user like smoker and could guess he ate the rubber fruit she was amazed at how luffy used his body to attack smoker but it didn't do any good he still had her pinned down and suddenly after luffy had struck him he blew apart from the impact.
"Don't you see you both have to go through me if you want to reach the grandline" as smoker grabbed luffys head, " I told you" smoker pulled luffy up and then slammed him near where Hunter was pinned and landed on both of them to prevent them from running. "You're not worth your bounties" said smoker as Hunter turned her head to see smoker she saw a look of disappointment in his face as his reach for his jutte "Your lucks run out" as he began pulling the jutte out.
Then out of nowhere someone grab the top of the jutte "I wouldn't be so sure about that" said the stranger Hunter could see that the man was very tall and his voice was very deep but she couldn't make out his face since it was covered by his hood. "It's you" smoker sound surprised at the man at his back "Hey wants going on, Who's that" luffy said with his face pined to the floor "How nice now the government can have your head" smoker sounded almost happy as if this man was wanted for doing something big against the government, "The World is still waiting for our answer" said the stranger and just as his said it a large gust of wind came in out of nowhere and blew Hunter and luffy down the street with such force she didn't have a chance to see where smoker was blown off to.
Hunter found herself laying on her back as she got up she noticed the damage the wind had done to the town she also noticed she had landed by the dock along with Zoro, Sanji, Luffy and another boy, "err What just happened" as luffy got up from where he had landed, Hunter was confused as well as to what happen where'd the wind come from and also who was the man that saved their lives. As the other joined them and voice coming from a drifting ship was heard "Help, Luffy" it came from a girl on the ship Hunter knew that that was luffys ship and it was drifting further out from the dock.
"Nami" luffy shouted "We gotta go the ship will be gone soon" Sanji said so all of them started to run until they notice luffy had a crazy idea of how to get to the ship, "Ok now gum gum ha…." luffys arm stretched and Hunter knew what was going to happen "What" the boy on her left said, "No he can't" Sanji said with a concerned look on his face, "I'm not going to like this" Zoro said "This is gonna hurt" Hunter said as luffy started to excel from the stretching.
"Rocket" luffy yelled s the guys started running but it didn't matter because as soon as luffy hit them they were sent flying straight into the ship sail and landed hard on the deck and looks of pain on their faces. "Your all here" said Nami with a look of cheerfulness on her face as Hunter got up she looked at the town one last time and wondered if she would come back, but she knew in her heart she would someday but still she wondered what was going on back at shore what had happen to smoker and who was the man who had prevent smoker from arresting them.
Back at shore
As smoker stood up from where he had landed he saw the straw hat ship sail away from the island and knew that the wind was taking them towards the grandline, "He brought the wind with him" said Smoker with a look of anger on his face "I knew it was him from the day Gold Roger was executed he appeared out of nowhere and disappeared it him" smoker then remembered what the straw hat had said back at the platform at that very moment and realized how much similar the boy was to roger then a crack of lighting streak across the sky and he saw that man standing on top of a building laughing "Hahaha Go if that what you want then by all means make your dream happen" said the stranger "Why'd you help them" Smoker shouted "Dragon", "It not our place to come between that man and that woman's chosen path smoker" smoker could almost see dragon smiling but before he could do anything to catch him he disappeared smoker looked back at the ship with disgust, "We're going after them" smoker said as he started back to HQ.
"I'm coming with you" as Tashigi clutched her sword "Zoro's mine I will get revenge" as she said this smoker started walking back to prepare for the journey to catch both Straw Hat and Hunter.
Back at the ship
"Look a light" as Nami noticed the lighthouse in the distance, "are you sure" said Ussop as he held onto the mast of the ship, "Yep it a guide post to the grandline so were not far off" Nami said with a look of happiness "So the grandline just up ahead" luffy said with excitement. As Hunter looked around at the faces of her new friend she could help but smile at the thought of finally going to the grandline.
"All right a think we should do something to make the occasion" said Sanji as they all came tighter around a barrel Sanji started by saying what his dream was for going to the grandline "I'm going to find the All Blue" then Luffy "To become King of the Pirates" then Zoro "To become the world's greatest swordsman" then Nami "to draw a map of the entire world" then Ussop "I'm going…To be a brave warrior of the sea" as Ussop place his foot on the barrel with the rest the other looked at hunter as she placed her foot on the barrel and declared "To become the world strongest fighter" as Hunter said this she looked around at the others and smiled as they raised their feet she knew this would be one storm she would remember for years to come.
"Now to the grandline" yelled luffy as the brought the feet down on the barrel declaring the start of a new adventure for all of them.
