Whiskey Peak
Yuuto's POV
I quickly made sure my mask was out of sight. I was confused by this turn of events.
I was sure that if I put on my mask both Igaram and Vivi would recognize me. I don't think they ever saw my face.
I really enjoyed protecting them. I even played with her when she was 10. Vivi was defintely going to make a fine princess one day because of her kindness and caring heart.
Shoot. She had a crush on me when I was younger.
I wonder if she still does. And if only she was older...
Damn it. Focus on the mission. Right now, this is what I know.
- An island of bounty hunters are greeting us. This screams trap.
- An organization of bounty hunters were getting ready to kill my crew.
- Important figures of Alabastan government were part of this organization. I was sure they both loved their country.
The last point confused me the most. Was there anything going on in Alabasta other than the drought? Was the organization involved somehow?
I saw Igaram looking at me and said, "Hello? Are you ok?"
"Yeah. I'm fine." The crew laughed at me except Nami and Zoro. They were confused with my behavior.
Right, they don't know who these people really are. I tried to signal to both of them that we need to talk.
Unfortunately, they didn't understand my gesture.
Soon enough, we had a party. If there was an opportunity, maybe I could slip away and talk to Zoro, Nami, Igaram or Vivi.
However, there were plenty of distractions and the people had separated us slightly from each other. If we had tried to go near one another, people would jump in the way.
Usopp had fans all over him with his lies.
Sanji was flirting with 20 women.
Luffy was eating so much that 10 cooks collapsed.
Nami and Zoro were having a drinking contest. Zoro stopped at 10 and Nami stopped at 12. I could tell they were holding back. They did try to get walk close to me but they noticed that people had always gotten in their way. The idiot trio hadn't noticed that we were separated.
Me? I was trying to stay calm and focused. Some of the women were trying to flirt with me, asking me if I wanted to dance. They were using all of their assets. Cleavage, boobs, eyes, pouts, smiles, their touch, their smell, everything they could even think of.
It was hard not to be turned on but I knew the consequences. I felt that I was on a mission so I was acting all quiet, moody, and mysterious. Unfortunately, that seemed to have attracted the girls even more.
I counted at least thirty different women trying to ask me for a dance. In my opinion, only three of them had a nice face. However, they were all too skinny and felt too bony. They weren't fat, but their bodies weren't nice to feel. I could only imagine how Nami's and Vivi's bodies feel like.
Ignore the fact that I just thought of that. I was trying to keep calm. That thought was not helping remain calm.
Anyways, I still refused the female bounty hunters. I even lied that I had a girl waiting for me. I elaborated on the lie that I had a beautiful woman with long black hair waiting for me. She was also the jealous type. I feared her.
Unfortunately, that seemed to attract them even more. They were all praising how loyal I was. To them, I was like a forbidden fruit that only made people want more.
Maybe, they were trying harder to lower my guard. That's why they acted like that.
Right?
Anyways, I was lucky with my previous training. I always had to be serious when I was guarding royalty. This came to good use. I decided to be the first one to leave the party and I was escorted to where we were going to sleep.
Man, they really thought of everything. There was someone waiting outside keeping an eye on me. I decided to pretend to go to sleep. I could still hear the party going on. I decided to just wait until the party ended. The party was loud.
After an hour, it finally stopped. I heard the door creak sensing that person's intent. I turned my body so that my body was lying flat on the ground.
As he got closer, I suddenly used both of my legs to kick him and jumped up. I then quickly got behind him in a choke hold position, knocking him out. It was show time. I was wondering if I should put the mask on right now. Maybe I would get some answers that way.
I decided not to. That might complicate things in the beginning. I also sensed that Zoro and Nami were still awake. They even separated where we were sleeping. Zoro had already begun his move. Nami stayed behind. If Zoro's going to fight everyone, Nami was probably going to rob the town. Which one should I do?
I thought about Vivi and Igaram. Guess I'll help Zoro. After all, I can't let him hurt Igaram and Vivi too much. Unless they changed too much 6 years ago.
I saw Zoro on a rooftop and waved my hand over. He looked at me and smiled. I came over and saw Igaram who hadn't noticed us yet. I put my hand over his shoulder.
"Leave the mayor and Miss Wednesday to me. I know who they are from work."
Zoro looked surprised but nodded. It was unspoken between us. I would be responsible for getting the information on this organization.
We turned and saw Igaram talking to the rest of the bounty hunters.
Zoro coughed. "Sorry but... would you mind letting those guys sleep for a bit longer? They're all tired the journey over here."
Show off. However, he definitely looked cool doing it.
A bounty hunter started running toward Igaram. "Mr. 8! Miss Monday! 2 of their crew escaped."
I smirked. I guess when Nami hears us fighting she'll start robbing the town.
More of the bounty hunters came running with their weapons out. They were alert.
Zoro continued. "I guess you'll be fine opponents for us. Baroque Works."
Mr. 9 yelled, "What! How do you know the name of our organization?"
Zoro smirked evilly. "That's not important. Let's just get this over with." He got one of his new swords out.
Igaram pointed and yelled. "Kill them!"
I hid behind a building but Zoro went to the middle of the crowd.
They cried out. "They're gone." They put their hands over look for us. He mimicked their action. Their eyes shot out when they realized he was in their midst.
Show off. He must have realized how weak they were.
By this time, I had punched out two hunters and I felt a third come behind me. As he jumped toward me, I sidestepped and kicked his stomach up and elbowed his back.
I looked over to Zoro. I could afford to not pay attention because they were weak. Only Igaram would probably give me some exercise. Zoro smiled. "Now then. Shall we get things started?" People tried to fire at him but ended up shooting themselves. He got 7 with that.
Why am I keeping track?
Igaram yelled. "You fools. Hurry up and kill them. There's only 2..." He stopped. He felt my presence behind him.
"Are you sure?" I taunted. I had already knocked 3 people on my way there.
8 people had come with their guns out ready to fire. They were so focused on me that they didn't realize Igaram was behind me.
I quickly jumped out of the way and ran around the alley. Igaram took out his saxophone shot gun and shot them.
I got 15.
As I ran hiding behind the building, I bumped into Zoro.
Zoro, seeing me, bragged. "I got 18." He was telling the truth.
I laughed. "I got 15. What's the prize?"
Zoro laughed, "No idea. What about you?"
"Meh." Personally, I didn't think I was going to win. I was focused on talking to either Igaram or Vivi.
As we bantered, we both heard, "Yeehaw! I found them." He then cocked his machine gun and fired.
We both rolled into the house. We were trapped between two firing squads. We both grabbed a table to protect both sides.
I miss the light bulletproof armor I could wear as a bodyguard. Maybe there was an armory I stop by.
Zoro drew his new sword out and sliced it away.
I used my table to ram outside. I beat the firing squad so that was 7 more people in my favor.
I felt about 20 people surrounding Igaram. So I went my way there.
As soon as I saw them running toward me, I went into a hand stand used my hands to move forward. As I got closer to them, I used my hands to spin and stretched my legs out. As I spun, my legs would kick them. Once I had fully spun around, I stopped and pretended to land normally. I then did a flip kick tossing 5 of them into the air.. They were out for good.
[AN: This combo is basically Woody's combo from Little Fighter 2]
I saw more people come. I was getting annoyed at this so I ran to the nearest one and kicked one in the face, causing him to go up. I then elbowed his gut so he flew knocking two others out.
One of the women who flirted with me drew out her sword and started charging at me. I sidestepped and karate chopped her neck. Another women was about to jump on me. I caught her legs and started spinning knocking 4 more with me. I then threw her toward her allies. As she was falling down in the air, I quickly jumped into the air to kick her faster in that direction. She landed toward two of her allies and that knocked them out.
So far, I took out a total of 38. There were four more before I could start fighting Igaram. I noticed that he was climbing up the roof to get into position. I think he was going to try to shoot me.
I hurried punching one in the gut. The last three rushed toward me at the same time. I easily sidestepped them and knocked them out with two blows to the stomach, neck, and chin. I quickly ran up the roof to meet Igaram.
He pulled on his tie and out came machine guns that hid in his hair.
I made a motion with my gloves and out came my claws.
He started firing at me.
My Haki was useless because Igaram didn't know where those bullets would hit. However, I could use my gloves to deflect the gunfire and dodge the bullets.
I haven't done this for a while but here's hoping I don't mess up.
As the bullets came closer, I used my bullets to block the bullets. None of the bullets hit my upper body. Only one bullet grazed the edge of my left knee.
The bullets stopped firing. He looked in shock that I had stopped them.
I actually wasn't happy. Sure I was alive, but I was actually scared for a moment. I felt that bullet was going to haunt me. I had a left thigh injury during my last job before I quit. The diagnosis was that it was possible that there could be future nerve damage if my leg got injured again. The doctor recommended me to rest up and to heal for two months. He wasn't sure what the nerve damage could do to my body. He listed that I could lose control of my left leg that could range for a certain amount of time or uncontrollable shaking.
When he said that, I knew that I would need more time to recover and that my life as a bodyguard or retrieval specialist was essentially over. Nerve damage was very hard to recover from. I didn't train the last six months because I didn't want to risk injuring my leg.
Yet I became a pirate. The last four days I thought I was doing fine with the work. I didn't overexert myself.
Back to the fight, I had slowed down but realized that my left leg was moving normally. Maybe, I was getting worried over nothing. Maybe I should see if there was a way to get a new diagnosis on my left leg.
I inwardly sighed. I could have asked Crocus before, but my leg didn't bother me before. I guess we'll wait until the next island. I need to focus.
I decided to speed towards Igaram. I retracted my claws. He got ready to punch me but I quickly grabbed his arm and used his momentum to carry him over. As I tossed him to the ground, I quickly put my right leg around his neck and also his arm at the same time. As I leaned back, I used one hand to move his punching hand away from him and used my other hand to put on my mask.
Once my mask was on, I leaned forward, turning toward him and letting him see my mask.
He remembered me.
"What's going on Igaram?" I barked out.
"Black Fox? What - "
I interrupted him. "I'm asking the questions here." I put a little more pressure on him and released the pressure immediately. He said the codename I used when I was guarding them. I forgot he didn't know my real name. We didn't allow our clients to know our real names. It was part of the bodyguard training. We were afraid if clients knew our names it would cause attachment. We were meant as shields nothing more.
He had spoken immediately. "I'm on a mission." Hearing that, I released my hold. There was no way he had thought of a cover story immediately. If he did, I would have to trust on whether I could identify his tells. He got up and looked at me. "The king was framed and we immediately went to investigate the culprit."
"King Cobra? What was he framed for?" I didn't really write down the politics of countries in my journals. That would be way too complicated.
"He was framed for using Dance powder. Only Alubarna would have rain while the other parts of the country didn't." I nodded, understanding what was going on. Dance powder was illegal. I never seen it before, but I had to know of it in my line of work.
"He's not the type to do that." The kingwas very self-less.
"He's not. We had information that this organization was causing a rebellion. Me and Vivi snuck into find out more. We found out that they had been manipulating this entire situation for at least the last three years."
My observation Haki was active and realized two stronger presences had entered the city. They were approaching Zoro and Vivi. I knew Zoro could take those two on by himself but I noticed that Vivi's presence was getting smaller. Zoro was probably fighting her. Also, Nami had finally started moving going house to house.
"Igaram. We need to run to Vivi. Let me talk to the first mate of my crew what's going on. He's the one who is cutting up everyone. I believe my crew will help you. In the meantime, think about what I need to know about this organization. I'm looking for powers, identities, and numbers." I was in bodyguard mode. I became super bossy but that was just because I needed to protect people. It seemed like seeing Vivi and Igaram again was helping me get stronger and putting me back to shape faster.
I directed him to where Vivi and Zoro. The entire crew had seen my mask before, but this was the first time I had actually worn it.
Vivi was in shock. She remembered me. She seemed to have forgotten her identity and yelled happily, "Black Fox. This man has been -"
"That's my crewmate. Both of you stop fighting." I interrupted.
"Black Fox?" Zoro was curious.
"Bodyguard codename."
"Oh? How does she know that?"
"She's an actual princess I protected six years ago."
Zoro smiled. "That's really interesting. Seems like we see how good of a bodyguard you were."
Vivi nodded, forgetting that the one who had spoken was just fighting her. "He was really awesome and nice. I remember we -"
"Sorry princess. Now's not the time. We can reminisce later. We have two people coming over. They just arrived on the island before." I pointed to the enemies. They were 400 meters away from us. I used my Haki again and noticed that Luffy had just woken up. Zoro nodded. He was going to fight them with me.
"That's Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine. They're frontier agents." Igaram looked over.
"What are their abilities?" I asked. 350 meters away.
"5 ate the Bomu Bomu fruit. Miss Valentine ate the Kilo Kilo fruit."
"So every part of his body can be an explosion. And girl can go from 1 kg to 1000 kg. Vivi. Igaram. Find my navigator. The orange haired one. She's awake. She's robbing the town." 300 meters away.
Zoro yelled, "What! She was awake this entire?" Vivi and Igaram looked sad hearing that.
I ignored Zoro. "Tell her your situation. She'll charge you. But she'll help you. Go." Igaram nodded and ran. Vivi ran a bit and stopped to look at me.
250 meters away. We heard a yell from behind. "Zoro! Fox guy!" Me and Zoro shared a smile. It was Luffy. This was overkill. "I'll never forgive you guys! Fight me!"
We shared a confused look. What did we do? This was not the time.
We looked around at the broken city. Debris was scattered around the town. Barrels, crates, and glass was smashed. The windows were falling apart. People were stuck in the walls. Some bodies were bleeding. Other bodies had their bones broken. Someone was stuck in the ground face first.
Man, Zoro was ruthless. I didn't do any of that. I just knocked people unconscious with a couple of strikes.
"Ungrateful bastards like you need to be kicked!" Luffy continued yelling.
He wasn't making any sense.
200 meters away, they stopped, interested in our conversation.
"What Luffy?" I yelled.
"Ungrateful?" Zoro yelled.
"How dare you guys beat up every single of these townspeople after they gave us such a friendly welcome and fed us so much food?" He yelled.
We all faceplanted. Even Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine faceplanted. Did he not know what happen?
"How could he be so dense?" asked Vivi.
Hearing her too close to me, I turned to her, "Run. This will be messy."
Zoro turned to the captain. "Luffy, listen. Those townspeople were actually -"
I tried pulling Zoro away but Luffy was too fast and hit Zoro. I was pushed back and let go of Zoro. Otherwise, I would have flown with Zoro.
I heard a faint cry of Mr. Bushido from the distance.
I pleaded to my captain "Luffy, these people were trying to kill us."
Luffy tried punching me. Thankfully, I was able to dodge. However, I knew that I wouldn't be able to dodge forever. Since I met him, he always had a lot of stamina.
"Liar! What kind of enemies would feed us?" He was suddenly pushed away.
Zoro thankfully came back. He had pushed him with his blades. "Yuuto. I'll handle him. You get those agents."
I nodded and started running after those two. The two had decided to continue their mission.
I soon passed them but I noticed that Mr. 5 flicked a booger. I couldn't touch it with my seastone gloves because it wouldn't cancel the ability. Then again, I didn't want to touch a booger. I dodged as it exploded past me.
Mr. 5 looked angry.
I smiled and was about to take a fighting stance. I then rolled away.
Crash!
"Dammit. I missed!" In the smoke of rubble came out a blonde with short hair and green eyes with a yellow hat. She wore a yellow dress that did show her curves. She had a better body than the bounty hunters had. That showed that she did train. However, Vivi had better curves than her.
I shook my head. I was checking out the enemy. This was also not the time to be checking out bodies.
I quickly went up ready to punch her.
She smirked. "This is going to hurt you more than it's going to hurt me." She tried to increase her mass.
Simple physics. A light object hitting a very heavy stationary object would normally transfer almost all momentum back, causing the lighter object to bounce back. The heavy stationary object wouldn't move at all. This was known as conservation of momentum.
However, I was going to break some laws of physics.
Well, actually the rules of physics were always being broken in the Grand Line.
Anyways, I had my seastone gloves. She wouldn't have her powers in contact with my gloves. She felt the pain as if she was her normal weight. She wasn't the heavy stationary object that she thought she was. I gave her an uppercut so she flew up a good 5 meters up in the air.
She wasn't knocked out but she couldn't focus as well. I leaped up into the air and struck her with two of my fists combined together, sending her back down. That was the knockout blow.
Mr. 5 looked in shock at my strength. Unfortunately, I was weaker that I actually appeared. As this happened, I dashed closer to him. Scared, he started firing his boogers at me. I sidestepped all of them. He was about to punch me but I blocked it with my palm. I quickly applied pressure. He started to not feel so well both the pain I was giving him and with the seastone. He tried to punch me with his other hand but I also blocked that with my other palm.
Smiling at him, I gave him a headbutt. His glasses were broken and he was knocked out. I used my Haki to check if there was someone else I needed to fight, but only the familiar ones were all conscious. Nami and Igaram were with Luffy and Zoro. It didn't seem like they were fighting anymore. Vivi had actually watched my fight. I smiled and tried walking. My Haki was almost out.
My left leg was numb. However, I could still move it. I needed to get this checked urgently.
As I walked by, I saw Vivi. She immediately hugged me.
"I'm so happy to meet you again Mr. Fox! You're stronger than I remembered."
I smiled at that and dropped my guard. Mr. Fox sounded childish, but it felt good hearing that. Protecting her was probably the best memory I had in my job.
"Yeah. It's great to see you too. You've really grown up. I didn't recognize you. You've become beautiful." I complimented genuinely.
It felt nice and brought some of the fun memories I had back then. She had laid her head on my chest. I was taller than her by about 15 centimeters. Her boobs were rubbing on my stomach. It was a nice feeling.
Thankfully, she released me and started blushing. If she continued, I was sure I would have been aroused and she would have felt that. It saved me a lot of embarrassment.
I should not be having these kinds of thoughts.
Even though she was young, she was becoming beautiful. She was going to have a lot of suitors. Igaram and Pell were going to have a fun time.
She suddenly slapped me as if she knew what I was thinking. "When did you become a pirate? Pirates are evil." She said.
I laughed. She didn't know what I was thinking. "I consider myself as an adventurer. Not pirates. Come properly introduce yourself. You've already met them."
I led her to Luffy, Zoro, Nami, and Igaram. As we approached, Zoro looked up to me and said, "I won."
"Against Luffy?" I asked. Luffy looked at me confused.
"No. I got 58."
I laughed. I had forgotten about the competition once I had put on the mask. I still had my mask on.
"Let's talk about that on the ship. I think we have something interesting."
Luffy then asked. "Who are you?" He then pointed at me.
I put a hand on my mask. Nami just slapped him "That's Yuuto idiot."
"You saw his mask before." Zoro continued.
"Yuuto's also a superhero? Cool!" He had stars in his eyes.
"Mr. Fox. Your name's Yuuto?" I turned to Vivi and Igaram and nodded.
"That's my captain. He's an idiot but he's strong. This mask is for my job." I looked at Luffy. I don't think he listened to what I had just said.
He asked me, while picking his nose, "What kind of superhero name is Mr. Fox?"
I ignored that. "We have something more important right now."
Nami nodded. "Right. As I was negotiating with Igaram here, we will be paid 1 billion berris for taking this job of protecting the princess."
"We/They're not paying that." Vivi, Igaram, and I said simultaneously. A bodyguard was typically paid around 200 million berries per year. One mission was definitely not worth it.
I did partake in a lot of extra missions though.
Vivi elaborated. "My country right now is in civil war because of this organization. This organization wants to take over my kingdom."
Nami sighed and nodded. "I guess a country in the middle of a civil war won't have any money to spare."
Luffy asked, "So who is this boss dude?"
"You mean the boss's identity? Please don't ask. You're better off not knowing. If you knew, Baroque Works would come and hunt you down."
Nami looked afraid. "Yeah, leave us out of it." I was slightly disappointed when she said that. "A guy planning to take over a country must be an incredibly dangerous person."
Vivi continued. "Yes. Exactly. No matter how strong you may be, you are no match for the member of the Schibukai, Crocodile."
We all dropped our jaws. She just revealed a secret. Vivi closed her mouth. Igaram moaned, "Princess!"
I felt uncomfortable and saw a suspicious otter and vulture with sunglasses. I pointed them out.
As we all looked at them, the otter got on the vulture and flew away.
"That's the Unluckies!" Vivi cried. "They report directly to the boss. They will draw our faces to report to the boss."
Nami cried. I smiled. Good thing I still have my mask on.
Zoro and Luffy looked at each other. "Cool."
"Yeah, we're really lucky to be able to meet him so early." Zoro said.
Our first mate and captain were so alike sometimes.
I just sighed. Right now, only I had a chance of beating Crocodile and that was only because of my gloves. I probably had a 14% chance of beating him now.
I need to unlock Armament Haki. That would really boost my offensive abilities and give me a 40% chance of winning. Maybe I should see if I can get seastone on my shoes as well. I could only punch Devil Fruit users. I need a more versatile range of moves I can use.
I looked at Luffy. I contemplated. If he didn't fight Crocodile, he wouldn't get stronger. In order to help his dream come true, he would need to be able to fight Crocodile. Can I help train him to win? But how many lives would I be risking in doing that?
Igaram distracted me with his outlandish disguise. He was dressed like how Vivi was right now. He had even worn the short shorts and the circular dress.
I don't want to know why he even has that outfit.
Luffy said, "Whoa! You can definitely pull off the look!"
No wonder he didn't recognize me.
Zoro and Nami sweat dropped at that.
Igaram explained his plan that he was going to try to distract our pursuers. We would escort Vivi. He looked at me and Luffy especially at that. I nodded. I will protect Vivi.
It was a promise between old friends.
We weren't close and had only known each other for a week six years ago. But, they were great people.
Luffy agreed that we would escort Vivi. I turned to Vivi. She seemed surprised. I grinned. I knew my captain would help her.
He was a caring person who wanted to help people like I did.
As we bid good-bye to Igaram, there was a moment between Vivi and Igaram. Igaram was like Vivi's second father.
He gave me one last look to remind me. I nodded my head. With the notes he had given me, I was prepared. I just need to look over them.
He had sailed on and we looked on, wishing him a safe voyage.
"Aw. He left. He was such a funny guy." Luffy said. Maybe he was joking that Igaram could pull it off.
He then looked at me. "Who are you again?"
Nevermind. My mask was still on. "I'm Yuuto." I internally sighed. He was ridiculous.
As we walked toward our ship, we heard a loud boom.
The ship he sailed on exploded.
I quickly activated my Observation Haki to see if he was still alive. He was still alive. He had actually gotten to a life boat that we couldn't see because of the smoke. However, he was still injured and could die. My observation Haki then ran out.
I looked at Vivi. She wanted to cry. She was biting her lip. I came over but didn't touch her. It was part of the bodyguard training. Do not initiate contact with royalty and cause a scandal. I also didn't want to say anything to get her hopes up. I wasn't sure if he could make it.
Luffy was outraged. "He was a fine man!"
Zoro asked urgently, "Nami. How's the log?"
"It finished recording." Nami responded scared.
"Then let's hurry up and get going." I was glad that Zoro was acting this role. We needed someone else to be serious. I was worried about Vivi.
"We have to hurry up. Otherwise, Igaram's sacrifice would be in vain." I told her. She was still like the same little girl I knew all those years ago. She didn't want anyone to fight.
Nami came over to help. She pulled her in a hug. "It's alright. I promise we'll safely get you back to Alabasta. We saved all of East Blue by ourselves and that was before we had Mr. Fox."
I didn't say anything about what Nami had just called me. My codename was Black Fox and the police called me Scheming Fox. Those names sounded much better. But, now was not the time.
Vivi gave a weak smile which we knew she was faking. However, she started to run.
We got on the Going Merry last. Zoro was getting ready to leave while Luffy dragged Usopp and Sanji them to the boat across town. They were wide awake.
I noticed Carue who waved at me. He also got bigger too.
Usopp and Sanji didn't know what happened. They were completely clueless and fooled by the town. They wanted to stay in the town. I was about to explain the situation but Nami stopped me.
After carefully explaining the situation, with a few punches here and there for more convincing, they completely saw Nami's point of view. We started to set sail.
I sat down, feeling tired. I needed to rest. I hadn't slept for at least twenty hours.
"Be careful not to crash your ship into the rocks near the shore. And congratulations on your escape."
I froze. Adrenaline was kicking in again. I didn't recognize that voice.
"What a nice ship this is." The same voice continued.
I looked up and saw a woman dressed in a skimpy purple outfit. Her breasts were held together in a corset and she wore a really skimpy skirt. She wore a purple cowboy hat that made her look mysterious.
She looked hot with a nice body. She had a better body than Nami and Vivi. However, she was also older and therefore more developed. I was sure that if Nami or Vivi developed more than they would also have just as nice bodies.
I couldn't help but gulp. Thankfully, I still had my mask on so she didn't know I was starting to blush. I needed to think.
Why were there so many attractive women with nice bodies in the Grand Line?
Probably because in the Grand Line people are strong. Women also need to train and exercise more thus leading to more attractive bodies.
That's not the question I should be asking. Or the answer I should be thinking about. Maybe later.
Damn you Sanji. I think you made me more perverted.
Who is she? She's definitely looked dangerous.
That's a better question to ask.
"I must tell you Ms. Wednesday. I met up with Mr. 8 just a little while ago."
I scowled. She was dangerous. She's the one who did that to Igaram.
Vivi yelled, "What are you doing all the way out here? Ms. All Sunday!"
Nami asked, "Who is it? Who's partner is she?"
"She's Mr. 0's partner. She's the only one who knows the boss's true identity which is why Igaram and I tailed after her. To find out the boss as well!"
Ms. All Sunday looked up. I saw her eyes. They were brown. [AN: I'm going by the manga.] They looked familiar. I must have seen those eyes somewhere. In fact, her face seemed familiar too. I couldn't place it.
"Well technically, it was more like I let you tail after me." Interesting.
Luffy said, "Oh, so she's a good guy." He really didn't know what was going on.
Vivi shook her head. "I know. I bet that you're the one who told the boss that his identity was leaked. Just what exactly is your objective?" Hm? Vivi and her seemed to have talked a decent amount before.
"Now now. No need to get so worked up. I only let you follow because you looked so desperate. And it was just too amusing to observe. A single princess who foolishly thinks she can take on the entire Baroque Works organization to save her kingdom." I looked in shock. Actually Luffy might be on the right track.
She just implied that she knew that Vivi was a princess for a while now. I was going to have to do some digging to figure out if this woman had a bounty. Who was this woman? She actually doesn't seem that bad.
I shook my head. I was probably just attracted to her.
Vivi and the rest of the crew looked too angry to register.
"Don't underestimate me!" She yelled.
At that moment, Sanji and Usopp appeared with weapons out.
Ms. All Sunday sighed. "Would you please mind?" It was quick, but I saw some petals. "Don't point such dangerous weapons at me." That power seemed familiar.
Usopp and Sanji looked they were thrown over. That wasn't Conqueror's Haki.
They exclaimed in shock that it was a devil fruit. My crew needed to not be surprised about devil fruits.
Sanji looked up and saw her. Hearts appeared in his eyes. "Whoa! She's a real beauty."
Sanji, you're right but haven't you noticed that she's kind of the enemy right now?
The vice-president laughed. "No need to get so riled up. I haven't come her on any orders. Nor do I have any reasons for fighting you people."
I thought it was obvious that we were going against her goals. She should see us as a threat. She should try and kill us now
She turned to Luffy. His hat went to her. "So you're the captain of the straw-hat pirates. Monkey D. Luffy." She knew my captain's name. She must really pay attention to the news then.
"Gimme back my hat. So you are trying to pick a fight. I've now decided to see you as an enemy so come at me." I need to ask why that hat is important. He acted the same way when I touched his hat.
The enemy put the straw hat on top of her hat, making her look a little ridiculous. "How unfortunate. Small time pirates having to look after a princess targeted by us. And a lone princess having to entrust herself to a few small time pirates." She looked at me when she said the last part though.
"But above all, how unfortunate, your log pose points to Little Garden. Even if I weren't to lay a hand on you, it's more likely you'd still never reach Alabasta." She tossed Luffy's hat away. She threw out an eternal pose to Vivi.
Little Garden. I don't think I've heard of it before. That island might not be in my notes.
"You'll be able to skip Little Garden. The needle of that points to an island close to Alalbasta. More importantly, you won't be followed by Baroque Works."
We were all confused by her actions. We were all considering whether to use it or not. It could be a trap also.
Luffy grabbed the eternal pose and crushed it. Nami started kicking Luffy. She was scolding him.
I wanted to do the same thing and be angry, but at the same time, this is our captain. He decides what we do.
Luffy declared to her, "Don't think you can choose the path of our next journey." He said that stubbornly.
Luffy and his love for adventures. That's the reason why I called myself and this crew as adventurers.
Ms. All Sunday smiled. "I see. How unfortunate. Let us meet again if you survive." She also looked at me when she said that. I was confused.
Right before she was at the edge of the ship, she stopped and turned around. "It was good seeing you again Fox-kun."
I was really confused. Everyone else looked at me.
"What? I don't think we ever met."
She turned around and chuckled. "Yes we did. Remember. You were chasing after me five years ago around Lulusia Kingdom?"
Five years ago. At Lulusia. I was...
Oh.
She had jumped off before I said anything. This was going to be a big headache.
As she left, Sanji and Vivi ran up to me. I took off my mask.
Sanji grabbed my shirt, "You were chasing after her?"
Vivi asked, "How do you know her?"
Zoro looked at me and asked, "Is she another princess?"
I rubbed my forehead and sighed. I said, "Let me sleep. I'll answer your questions when I wake up." I started walking away. She brought up memories I didn't want to think about.
Vivi asked, "Who is she?" stopping me.
I sighed. I was about to go to my room. "Her real name is Nico Robin."
AN: So what do you think?
How do you think my OC knows Nico Robin?
Also, to those who are expecting certain things to happen. I am going to write the story according to the way I planned it because of the way I plan to develop the characters. Every crew member has his/her own story arc and development. Some other extra characters will have some development. I have a certain direction I want to go.
I think you will see what I mean by the story as my story gets longer. Hopefully, the other character development will be obvious by the end of Skypeia.
I'm not focusing on just my OC but also the Strawhats. I will start writing in the Strawhats POV in 2 chapters.
The story is meant to focus on adventure and friendship. However there will be some humor, romance, and family themes.
If you messaged me expecting something more, don't expect too much. You might be disappointed.
Please leave a review about a part you liked this chapter! I'm looking for something more concrete and constructive criticism.
