Hello all, I'm back! I had a totally awesome time at Ohayocon this weekend, it was so much fun and it's a shame that it had to end. I got to meat Vic Mignogna, J. Michael Tatum and Ian Sinclair, all of whom are totally awesome in person! I loved meeting them all! I really didn't want to go home but it just makes me look forward to the next con in June. It have a ton of things to work on and more cosplay to make and buy. I'm going to have a full schedule ahead of me.

But enough of me and my time at con. As promised, i managed to get this chapter finished and published on time -or at least it's on time for me. I'm going to work super hard on getting chapters out faster and since I'm too nervous to get a beta reader to help me I'm working on my own here. But I still hope you all enjoy this chapter since it took me a lot of time to work on.

So i hope you all enjoy chapter 3 of Revenge of K. And before we start we'll do the usual disclaimer: I do not own One Piece, only my OC's and this plot.

Enjoy!

Chapter 3

"It looks like you were right after all." Kutana said as she watched Luffy devour his tenth plate of food the bartender had brought him. When they had stepped into the bar Luffy was already at the counter pounding his fists onto the bar while he chanted for them to bring him meat. At first the bartender looked as if he didn't know what he was to do but when Kutana gave him the okay to feed the demanding boy the bartender brought out a large plate of food which Luffy devoured in just minutes.

"I warned you." Zoro said. He and Kutana were sitting a few seats down from Luffy with mugs of beer before them, not in the mood to eat after they watched Luffy. At first they were sitting besides him, but after all of the food particles being thrown around whenever Luffy spoke they decided to move down a few stools to give the captain more room to himself. "He's like a bottomless pit. He ate the food supply on our ship dry on more then one occasion. He even breaks the locks that shitty cook puts on the doors. He's an animal." He glanced over at Luffy who had taken a short break from eating to complement the bartender on how great all of the food he ate was.

"Do you live here Kutana?" They both turned to see Luffy leaving behind his empty plates of food and moved over to where they were sitting and looked up at Kutana, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand.

She shook her head, passing the younger boy a napkin which he accepted with a bright grin. "Nope, I'm just passing through. But I have been here for a few days."

He nodded. "Are you going somewhere?"

"Not exactly." She told them. "I'm not really headed anywhere in particular. Just heading wherever my feet take me. At first I was, but the person I'm looking for is long gone so I'm basically wandering around." She gave them a simple explanation of her situation. She didn't want to get into her whole back story, there wasn't enough booze in that bar for that. She would just stick with that simple explanation and how they didn't push any further.

Luffy looked as if he wanted to say something, but his eyes flickered towards her swords that were leaning against the bar and his smiled. "So are you a swordsman like Zoro?" He asked, leaning forward in his stool and looked at her closely.

She chuckled. "Trust me, I have heard all about you and your crew and I am far from a swordsman like Zoro here, but I think I'm pretty good. I had some good teachers growing up." She had a small, fond smile on her face which didn't go unnoticed by Zoro and Luffy. But it was gone as fast as it came. "So, Mr. Future King, what are you and your crew doing in Kartes?" She changed the subject. "Are you out for an adventure?"

A giant grin was plastered on Luffy's face as he nodded vigorously. "Yes! We've been stuck on our ship for a week!" He cried out. "I thought I was going to die. We ran out of meat." He grabbed her shoulders and shook her to make her feel the severity behind that sentence.

Kutana laughed as she turned and looked at Zoro. "Is he always like this?" She asked while being shook by an over dramatic Luffy.

Zoro nodded. "Sadly yes. He takes his meat very seriously."

"I see. Well, I'm glad that you found me when you did. If you didn't save me you wouldn't have gotten any meat as soon as you did." She smiled at Luffy who gave her a bright grin that seemed to always be on his face. But she had heard about him, about what happened at Marineford where he fought against the entire Navy HQ to save his brother only to end up losing him. It struck a cord inside her. She went to ask if he wanted some more before she got the bill since one more plate wasn't going to make it any better, but the doors to the bar slammed open.

"What the hell are you at?!" They all snapped their heads around to see a very pissed off Nami standing in the doorway of the bar, looking ready kill someone. When her eyes landed on Luffy at the bar Kutana could have sworn she heard her growl. "You!" She jabbed a finger at Zoro and Luffy, which meant her to since she was sitting in the middle. "What did I tell you?" She marched into the bar angrily. "Didn't I say to stay out of trouble? What don't you understand by stay. Out. Of. Trouble?" She yelled. She stopped before Luffy and began to shook him between each word, causing his teeth to snap together as his head flopped back and forth.

"What's wrong Nami?" Luffy asked, a genuine confused look on his face.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?! What's wrong is that the entire island is talking about how there was a large fight between pirates, and you were in the middle of it all!" She slammed her fist down ontop of his head, causing Luffy to whimper as he rubbed the newly formed knot ontop of his head.

The last thing Nami wanted to hear while shopping was a fight having broken out between pirates, and she didn't even have to ask to know who was behind it. She knew that he had been antsy due to them being on the ship so long but that didn't mean that he could go around and begin picking fights with the first pirates they came across. "And you!" She turned to Zoro and glared daggers at him. "I thought I told you to keep him out of trouble, not get into fights with him!"

"Um excuse me." Came an unknown female voice and Nami turned to blinked when she came face to face with a girl with long pale blue hair sitting between the two boys who she had completely passed over in her fit of rage. "I don't mean to interrupt but it wasn't their fault that they had gotten into that fight. They were helping me out." She explained hoping it would help calm the very angry orange haired girl down because even she was starting to be afraid of her.

Nami blinked and Kutana let out a breath as she saw that she visibly relaxed. "I see. That still doesn't get them off of the hook." She shot Luffy a look and he replied back with a sheepish grin while he scratched the back of his head laughing quietly.

"Did you find them Nami?" They all turned towards the door to see a small reindeer stepping into the bar, followed by a large robot man thing, a real life skeleton, a long nose boy, a black haired girl and a blonde boy who's eyes suddenly turned into hearts when his eyes landed on her.

"I see a beautiful maiden." He sang as he danced over to her on his tip-toes. "I do hope these two dumbasses haven't been bothering such a beautiful girl like yourself." He all but swooned over her, hands on his chest.

Luffy grinned. "This is Kutana, she's a swordsman like Zoro. This is the rest of my crew; my cook Sanji, my sniper Usopp, my doctor Chopper, my shipwright Franky, my musician Brook, my archeologist Robin and my navigator Nami." He introduced them all to her.

Kutana gave them all a bright smile. "It's a pleasure to meet you all. You all have quite the captain here." She patted Luffy on his shoulder. "But please don't be mad at them for getting into that fight, it was my fault."

"You should have seen her guys, she's amazing! She can use two swords and took out almost all of the pirates herself before we even got there. I'm sure she would have beaten that Bart too if it wasn't for him fighting dirty."

She laughed. "You are giving me too much credit Mr. Future King; they were weaklings to begin with."

"So you're a real swordsman?" Chopper came up to her and looked at her with bright eyes and for a moment she thought she had seen tiny stars glistening in them. It gave her the sudden urge to grab the little reindeer and hug the life out of him, he was just too cute.

She nodded and showed him her swords. "Not as good as your swordsman but almost." This time stars did appear in his eyes and soon she was bombarded with questions from Chopper and Usopp about what she does and was asked to show her panties by the tall skeleton Brook, but that was met with a punch to his skull from Nami and Sanji. She laughed. She should have known that a crew of Luffy's would be this fun and entertaining. She couldn't remember the last time she laughed this much.

"Well it looks like the log pose is already set." Nami said some time later after they had all taken a seat at a table and talked about everything and anything. "I think we should get a move on just in case anyone from the Navy heard about your little fight." She shot a look at Kutana, Luffy and Zoro who all just smiled.

"What's the next island Nami?" Asked Luffy.

Kutana leaned across the table and pointed to the log pose on the right side of the three. "If you head towards this island you should be good. It has quite a large shopping district which will help you get everything you need to keep traveling through the New World that you didn't find here. And it's less then two days travel is the weather keeps nice." She told them guessing it was the least she could do since she had helped her pay for Luffy's meal once she had seen how much he had eaten, and she was glad; she would have been completely broke if she had paid that all herself.

Nami nodded. "That's great to hear because we were only able to get a limited supply of stock. If only someone stopped eating all of our food supply we wouldn't have to worry about running out of food as much as we do." She glared at Luffy who just laughed and went back to laughing with Usopp and Chopper.

She smiled. "I see, well it was great meeting you all." They all stepped outside and Kutana was about to turn and leave when Luffy grabbed her arm, stopping her.

"Hold on, I want to ask you something." He said and everyone behind him sighed.

"Here he goes again." Nami sighed shaking her head.

Sanji sighed. "We should have known where this was going." He muttered to the others who all nodded, each and every one of them knowing where Luffy was going with this. It should have been obvious to them all, since each and every one of them had dealt with it.

Kutana frowned at them before looking at Luffy. "And what would that be?"

He was quite before he snapped his head up and gave her his brightest grin yet. "Join my crew!" He announced. Kutana's eyes shot open and she snapped her head towards the others behind him who all just smiled.

"Good luck getting out of this one." Zoro told her. "That's how he got all of us to join. Once he asks it's impossible to shake him. He refuses no as an answer." He explained to her and she smiled. She wouldn't have been surprised if that was how they all joined, but they all looked happy where they were now that she couldn't help but smile.

"Well I'm sorry to say this but I'm going to have to pass this time around." She told him sadly. It would have greatly fun if she could join them, it looked like they took quite some adventures.

Luffy visibly deflated and frowned. "You won't join?"

She shook her head. "I'm afraid not. But don't worry," She placed a hand on his shoulder. "If fate wants me to join your crew I'm sure we'll meet again. So, if by chance we do meet again, I would be more then happy to join the crew of the Future Pirate King." She gave his shoulder a squeeze and smiled when Luffy perked up and began to jump around. "Do we have a deal?"
He nodded vigorously. "We have a deal." He shook her outstretched hand, making a promise between them.

"Then I'm off. It was nice meeting you all. I do hope we meet again Mr. Pirate King." She turned and walked off, waving goodbye over her shoulder smiling at the shouts of them meeting again real soon from Luffy. She laughed. She didn't know why but she had a feeling that she would be seeing them real soon.

"I really liked her." Luffy pouted that night during dinner. They had just set sail for the next island Kutana had pointed out to them and had just sat down to eat the food Sanji had bought at the island.

Usopp looked up. "You mean Kutana?" He asked with his mouth full, earning a punch in the head from Nami about chewing before speaking.

Luffy nodded, still pouting as he ate. "Yeah. I really wanted her to join my crew. It would have been super cool to have two swordsmen on my crew. She was an awesome fighter." He was really hoping that by some chance that they met up with her again so she could join and make his crew even cooler then it was.

Robin smiled softly and placed a hand on the sad boy's shoulder. "Do not worry Luffy, I am sure we'll meet her again. She did say that she would join the next time we met and I am sure we will meet her very soon, you just need to wait a little longer."

But Luffy still pouted. "But I don't want to wait." He began to whine.

"Hey Luffy, didn't you say you, Chopper and Usopp were going to fish for some treasure with Usopp's new invention?" Zoro suddenly asked, not looking up from his plate of food as he spoke, drawing all attention to him.

Luffy gasped, eyes widening along with Usopp's and Chopper's. "We totally forgot!" They yelled and before anyone knew it the three of them were rushing through their plates of food before they excused themselves from the table and bolted out the door to search for treasure, all thoughts of Kutana completely forgotten with their new goal of finding gold, which pleased Nami as well if they did succeed.

"It looks like you did it again." Robin chuckled lightly as she looked at Zoro who went back to eating as if nothing had just happened. He ignored her and went on eating, and soon everyone joined in all of them listening to the three out on deck crying out for treasure. They continued well into the night until Nami had to force them to stop their fishing and go to bed before they kept them up all night with their yelling.

The next morning the paper came out and it was the talk of every town in the New World. Everywhere one turned it seemed that everyone was whispering about the front page article that was published and it grew more as the day went on.

Kutana, who was just waking up that morning, stepped outside to the quite whispers that instantly drew her attention. She wondered who everyone was speaking about since it seemed it had everyone on edge.

"What's up with everyone?" She asked the nearest vendor who was selling freshly baked bread. It intrigued her as to what was going on and she didn't like being left out of things, and it seemed that everyone on the island knew what was going except her.

The man blinked at her question. "You don't know?" She shook her head simply. "Here." He pulled out the day's paper and held it out to her to read. Frowning at the paper she grabbed it and unfolded it and when she did she gasped. The paper slipped from numb fingers and fell to the ground below her. She froze completely, everything around her fading as she stared at the paper below her. The only thing she heard was the steady beating of her heart that grew more erratic as the seconds passed.

"No, it can't be." She whispered aloud, unable to believe what she was seeing. This couldn't be right. This had to be some sort of mistake. She felt her hands clenched tight fists as her shock suddenly turned her anger and her green eyes hardened as she stared at the face of the man she swore revenge against.

"Kazuo."

We're finally getting to the main plot! (Cries happily since it took me soooo long to get here) I'm not completely happy with the ending of this chapter, but I tried the best I could while working with no idea whatsoever for the ending of this chapter. I did the best I could so I could get this chapter out to you all. I still hope you all enjoyed it in the end and any feedback would be warmly welcomed and greatly appreciated, along with favs and reviews. I'm working on the next chapter now and we're going to start getting to the main plot with Kazuo very shortly, so stick around you all cuz it's going to start getting good (at least it is in my opinion)

So, until next chapter. NeoVongolaPrimoTsuna out!
