One Piece: Becoming the Pirate Emperor
An: Well, here's the start of Aro's adventure! Please be sure to vote on what on what Devil Fruit power you want Aro to have, otherwise I'll be using the onelastwriterofdreams sent me in a PM. Also, I need OCs for rival pirate crews, villains, Marines, and any OCs you guys want me to put on Aro's crew. Like I said before, I need a navigator, a marksman, and a musician, but if have an OC you would like to see on Aro's crew, I'm more than willing to try 'em out!
And with that said…ON WITH THE STORY!
Disclaimer: I don't own One Piece.
*Wealth, Fame, Power. Monkey D. Luffy, the new King of the Pirates obtained this and everything else the world could offer, and the words he spoke following his escape from Lougetown after stopping the execution of Roronoa Robin sent countless more souls to the seas:
"You want my treasure? Ha! Good luck with that! In order for you to find it, you have to defeat me and my crew! The problem is finding us!"
These words drove men to the Grand Line, in pursuit of dreams greater than they ever dared to imagine. This was known as the Second Great Pirate Era!*
Chapter 3- The New Adventure Begins! Welcome to Red Wing Island!
Red Wing Island.
An island known for its calm, peaceful beaches and the Red Winged pelican that nested there. The village, Sand Dollar Village, was considered the nicest, quietest village on the entire island-
"AGH! ARO! YOU STUPID IDIOT!"
-Until two certain someones washed up on the shore.
Sparrow was currently dragging her captain, Monkey D. Aro, through Sand Dollar Village with a furious look on her face. Her hair clung to her face and the back of her neck due to being tossed into the sea at some point during the last night's storm.
Aro was sporting a massive headache and being weak from the sea water. Currently, he was attempting to regain his footing as Sparrow continued to drag him across the dirt road. His drenched shirt clung to his form, causing more than a few teenaged girls walking by to blush and giggle uncontrollably.
"Ow, ow, ow, ow, OW! Sparrow, let go! Let go!" Aro cried pitifully. He finally gained some footing, but he was now being frog marched towards wherever Sparrow was heading.
"I can't believe we got caught in that storm just because you said it would be all right!" Sparrow continued as if he hadn't spoken. A groan escaped her lips. "Why I went along with your dumbass idea of sailing into a storm I'll never know!"
"How about we save the topic for later," Aro stated more calmly, hoping it would get him out of this situation quicker. "Where're we going anyways?"
"You're gonna buy me a drink!"
Aro paled. "Are you NUTS?! I'm not buying you alcohol! You're dad'll kill me!"
"Oh, relax. Daddy's not here," Sparrow said. "And you're just exaggerating."
"Exaggerating?! EXAGGERATING?! We must be talking about two very different people! You're dad's gonna hack me up the minute he finds out! And my dad's no-where near here to save my ass!"
"Daddy's not that bad," Sparrow retorted. She finally dropped him as she came to a stop in front of a bar that looked promising. He got up and dusted himself off.
"You're not on the receiving end of his 'I-can-gut-you-ten-different-ways-and-you-can't-do-anything-about-it' glares," Aro muttered as he entered the bar.
The bar was practically empty. There were barely three people in it, not including the barkeep. The bartender looked to be Aro's age, give or take a year. He wore a traditional bartender's outfit: white shirt under a black vest, black tie, dress pants and shoes. He had spikey blonde hair and dark green eyes. He was cleaning a glass out with a towel when Aro and Sparrow sat down at the bar. Aro placed his head on the bar.
He saw them sit down and walked towards them smiling. "Hello! And welcome to the Sand Pearl! Finest bar in all of Sand Dollar Village!" he proclaimed proudly.
"Thanks for the enthusiastic welcome," Sparrow said politely. "I need your best sake right here."
"Rrright away, my dearest angel," he said flirtatiously. He turned to Aro and asked, "What can I get for you, sir?
"I don't drink. Plus, my head's killing me, so just get me some water," Aro replied.
The bartender nodded. "Sure thing! Coming right up!"
He walked half way down the bar and pulled out two glasses. He silently filled one with sake and the other with water and ice. He brought the two glasses and placed him in front of the two rookie pirates. "Enjoy!"
"Thanks," the two said.
The bartender looked at them and asked, "Not many newcomers to Sand Dollar Village these days. You guys passin' through?"
"Yep!" Aro said as took a swig from his water. "Our boat got destroyed last night, and we washed up here."
"And whose fault is that?" Sparrow asked snidely.
"Oh, get over it, Sparrow! We turned out okay! Besides, that was an EXCELLENT start to our adventure! WAY better than Dad's!" Aro laughed. "I can't wait to rub it in his face!"
Sparrow sighed tiredly as the bartender chuckled. "You know what? I like you guys! I'm Even. Trigger D. Even, at your service."
Aro perked up. "Another D, huh? That's cool! I'm a D as well."
"I thought that grin looked familiar! My dad grinned like that all the time! Guess all Ds are the same, huh?"
"Not all," the two pirates mumbled.
Even blinked. He shook his head and said, "So, pirates, huh? Don't get a lot of those here. Just starting out?"
"And what makes you think we're pirates?" Sparrow asked evenly, but Aro could make out the steel behind her words.
"Simple. The only pirates I've ever met all had one thing in common: their eyes. Their eyes held purpose. Direction. A dream." He pointed at Aro and said, "I see it in his eyes, especially. He looks as if he's willing to fight the Pirate King for the sake of his dream."
Both couldn't help but smirk at that. "Oh…you could say that," Aro said slowly with a smirk on his face.
Even smirked back, before he became serious. "Since you guys are passin' through, I feel compelled to tell you guys that you really should get out while you can. Nothing personal, just some local thugs around here ain't the nicest people you want to be around."
"Oh! No prob! I've got enough Berries to buy us transport off this island. We were heading to Syrup Village before that storm got us. You know a good place to buy boats around here?"
Even was about to reply when the door to the bar burst open and a loud voice proclaimed, "Make way for the Colt breaker Bandits!"
With trained ease, the two rookie pirates spared glances at the entrance. Three men walked into the bar as if they owned it. All three had blonde hair and red eyes. The first, who looked like the leader of the group, walked up to the bar and said, "Hey! Bartender! Get me and my brothers the usual!"
"Oh, course, Grand," Even said pleasantly, but Sparrow detected annoyance in his voice.
"And remember to put it on our tab!" the second laughed.
"Of course, Luster," Even practically snarled.
The third walked over and sat near Sparrow. He flashed a charming smile. "Hello, Sweetie," he said. BIG mistake, Aro thought. Sparrow HATED being flirted with when she was drinking.
Sparrow's face went blank. First sign of annoyance. "Hello," she said back blandly.
The man blinked owlishly, but he quickly recovered and asked, "What are you drinking?"
"Sake."
"A pretty little lady like yourself shouldn't drink such strong stuff."
Strike Two. Sparrow's eye twitched. "I can handle it," she told him, her voice still bland.
"Well, how's about you ditch the stiff right there and come have some fun with me," the thug offered, pointing at Aro when he said 'stiff.'
"I'd rather date a Sea King," Sparrow said.
This pissed the guy off. "You don't know who your talking too, bitch!" he shouted. He slammed his fist into the bar, causing it to break.
"Hey!" Even shouted, but he was ignored. The three's drinks sat abandoned on the bar as Even walked over.
"I'm Hue! The youngest of the Colt breaker Bandits' infamous Terror Siblings!" Hue shouted out.
"Wow. Sounds important," Sparrow commented blandly.
"I've got a 1,500 Berry bounty on my head," he continued.
"Congratulations."
"I've killed people before."
"So has my daddy, but he usually only does that when men like you hit on his precious little girl."
Hue's eye twitched. "Oh, I see. It's him isn't it?" he asked pointing at Aro. "You're with him, huh? I'M more of a man than he is!" Hue shouted, throwing his arm down. Suddenly, Aro's head slammed into the bar, going straight through the bar.
Sparrow's eyes widened. 'Devil Fruit,' she thought. She looked to Hue with a dark glare. "HE is my captain," she told him in a dark, cold tone that made Hue flinch. "Do something like that again, and I'll end you."
Luster laughed. "Aw, lighten up, missy!" he said, placing his arms on Aro's shoulder, who was still trying to get his head out of the bar. "We're obviously better company!"
Aro stopped his struggling. 'Strike Three,' he thought as he grabbed Luster's arm and threw him over the bar into the wall lined with alcohol bottles. Sparrow grabbed the first of her swords, Kusanagi, and jabbed the hilt into Hue's stomach. He grunted and stumbled slightly. She punched him in the face and sent him skidding across the ground.
Aro pulled his head out of the bar gasping for air. He turned and glared at the other blonde. "Your brothers need to learn some manners," he said getting up from his seat.
Grand sighed. "Yes, that they do," he said as he settled into a fight stance.
"You Terror Siblings have messed up in my bar for the last time!" Even said as he jumped over the bar. "I think it's time you guys pay off your tabs."
Sparrow drew Kusanagi. "I hope you guys have your worldly affairs in order, 'cuz I'm about to send you guys to the Nether Realm in pieces!"
Grand narrowed his eyes as Luster and Hue got up and glared at the three.
Aro grinned as he raised his fists up. "This is gonna be fun!"
