Hi. Here's the 4th part for you. And for all readers please review so I know what you want. And as always I do not own One Piece.
The pieces moving
Sabaody Archipelago:
"Well it seems rather odd that all the marines just decided to up and leave." Rayleigh said. As he was talking to Shakky since he had just come back from a gambling since Luffy left.
"Not really, have you read the paper?" she asked.
"No. What's in it?" He took it and read. "Well seems like another interesting character just showed up and is about to end up here."
"It appears so. Aren't you worried?"
"I'm more worried about Luffy and his crew. This guy seems to be after them or at least following them." He responded.
"Yes it seems interesting and by my calculations this person should be arriving today since this paper is a few days old." Shakky said.
"Hm, well best to stay out of the way he may ask questions about Luffy and his location."
Just then the bar door swung open revealing a mildly tall figure in dark clothes. He had a sword on his back and a cloth over his eyes. His presence even gave Shakky and Rayleign a nervous touch to their spines. He seemed to radiate a fear of death. Or just death itself. The person didn't talk just walked up put some money on the counter and the number of a grove and left.
"Well it seems he wants me to coat his ship." Rayleign finally said.
"It would seem. Are you?"
"Might as well. Him meeting up with Luffy might be a good thing and besides who am I to decline a customer, especially when they pay much more then the need to."
Shakky just kind of giggled to herself for that comment. But as Rayleign started to count the money he noticed something on the money.
Blood.
"How did he get this money I wonder." Thought Rayleign.
Mariejois
"Sister, why did we have to come here?" Asked a very scared Sandersonia.
"Because this is the fastest way to the New World even if you have a ship." Answered Hancock, with a nervous tone.
"Doesn't mean we like it." Sandersonia Said in an also very nervous tone.
"Everything's going to be fine just don't think about the details very much." Said Hancock.
Hancock was trying very hard to not show how scared she was and had to continuously think about Luffy in order to calm herself. Normally this thought would cause her to blush but she was far too afraid for that and just wished he were here to comfort her. Then a World Noble passed by. In order to not cause a scene they bowed like anyone else. Hancock was very afraid because for once her beauty may cause a problem in the fact that if the World Noble saw her he might want her to be his wife. Luckily the Noble was both a women and not paying the least bit attention to anything due to be so stuck-up. After she passed the sisters and Elder Nyon, who came with them, got up and moved, feeling disgusting for bowing to their former captors. What they didn't see was a man with a pig face or what was left of one since it was covered in bandages look at them with a disgusting smirk, before the smirk disappeared as he thought.
"Have I seen them from somewhere?"
Two days later they were at their boat waiting to depart. But they all turned their heads as they heard a commotion. Out came an old man who was rather tall, had an officer coat on his shoulders and a scar around his left eye. This was Vice-Admiral Garp.
"Who are you to tell me where and where I can not go?" He asked an officer.
"B-But sir, Fleet Admiral Aokiji asked you to stay on the first half of the Grand Line to slow the wave of new pirates pacing through there." The man responded.
"Forget that, my grandson will soon cause trouble in the New World and that's where the stronger pirates are; including that blasted Red Hair." He had venom in his teeth as he said the name. That is when Hancock spoke.
"You are Vice-Admiral Garp correct?" She asked. He turned to see who addressed him. He was not expecting it to be one of the Warlords.
"Yes, and why may I ask are you here?"
"I am going to the New World of course." She said trying to keep up with her superiority complex against the man.
"Why?" was all he said.
"If you must know it is because someone has threatened my beloved and I wish to protect them."
"Who is this beloved?" he asked not expecting who he was about to hear.
Elder Nyon answered, "Oddly enough Garp-san, your grandson."
"Luffy?" he asked looking at Hancock. She tried to remain stoic and foreboding but that didn't last long because of Garp.
"Ghahahahaha. Luffy of all people Ghahaha. Luffy had not only the Pirate Empress, but a Warlord fall for him!" He yelled while he laughed. "Makes since, since he probably doesn't know how romance works. Well your going to have to tell me that story."
"Why don't you come with us?" said Nyon.
"What!" was all the three sisters could say.
"Since you know Luffy you can probably find him easier than we can; and you need a boat. So it seems to work out fine." Nyon said.
Garp looked like he was contemplating but soon agreed. "Alright then. I do want to hear that story and we are going in the same direction, so might as well." The sisters knew they couldn't do anything about it since they knew who he was, so they just got on board. They soon departed and aimed for the nearest island. The Isle of Beginnings. Little did they know that that same day the mysterious figure was leaving Sabaody Arc at the same time.
With the Straw-Hats
"Hahaha! You guys should see your faces!" Luffy yelled after they freaked out.
"Idiot, this is serious. If that guy is coming after us then the Marines really will be following us!" Nami yelled, now very frightened.
"Well, I don't think that's much of a problem." Replied Robin.
"Why?" Nami asked.
"Because this man also seems to not like the Marines or World Government for that matter. If they followed him he might just do what he did to the other ships."
"Oh your right. He might just destroy them. But we should still be on are guard. We may have gotten stronger but that is no reason to celebrate. There are still lots of enemies out there."
"Right, so let's go! Nami what's the next island? Asked Luffy.
"I think I remember it being called the Isle of Beginnings."
"Okay then, just make sure we make it to 1/3 Island." Luffy said.
"Yeah, yeah, one step at a time."
On the marine ship with Garp and Hancock
"Hahaha! That sounds just like Luffy. He was always protecting people and getting in other peoples' business." Garp said after hearing the story. "So I'm guessing that he was the reason you wanted to go to Impel Down right? And that you were the reason he got in." The girls stared at him afraid that he figured out what happened. "Ha, stop getting all scared. I'm not turning you in. It just shows how resourceful he is." They all let out their breaths. "Anyway you said Gorgons eye right?" They al got stiff. "Is that how your explaining people turning into stone?" They really got nervous at that. "That is a very good cover story, but one I've been around a long time and know when someone's lying and two you let it slip that Luffy didn't think any less of you when you asked him about it. That means he probably saw it, and since wasn't turned to stone I'm guessing that the thing on your back is something else." They were down right terrified now. "I'm gonna guess it's some sort of mark."
"Please stop." Hancock pleaded.
"Why, if you really love Luffy then you want to be part of his family right? In families you don't hide secrets, so come on."
"Family?" Hancock asked blushing.
"Yeah, Luffy may be stupid, but so was I and Dragon when a girl fell in love with us. It just takes one really powerful moment to break through the stupid."
"You mean I still have a chance? Even with his female crew."
"His crew? He won't fall for them. He thinks of them as family, but since your separate and he likes you, you have more chance then anyone. Matter of fact, I'd bet on you getting him."
Hancock was ecstatic but more hopeful for a future with Luffy.
"Anyway, back to subject." Garp said. "Show me." There was no way she was getting out of this.
"Alright just don't think any less of us." She showed her back to him and he just gazed.
"Ah, the Dragon hoof." He said. She was begging to get worried. "That explains it."
"What?" They all asked.
"If you got this, showed it to him and he didn't think any less of you, I can easily tell why you fell for him. Anyway that's unimportant. I don't particularly like the Nobles either. They're fat, spoiled, and ugly, both inside and out. I was both worried and ecstatic when Luffy Punch one of them. I only wish I got to do that once." They all laughed at that.
Back at Mariejois
" I want the best ship you have. I want to go after Straw-Hat Luffy for what he did to me!" Asked an ugly fat man with a messed up face.
"But sir there is a man coming to the New World, who is very dangerous."
"So? With a battleship protection I don't he'll do anything." The man said confidently, even with his unnatural slur of words.
"Sir this man took out seven and has named the World Nobles as targets."
"What! This man will pay for his foolisshhnessth." He said (I actually put that ungodly word : p). "Get me ten ships and an admiral for protection." The man no longer fought even if he thought it was insane and went to command.
"Sir when you arrive at the new Marine HQ an admiral will be waiting for you." The marine said.
"Who?" The Noble asked.
"Admiral Akainu."
"Good." Said Saint Charlos
