CHAPTER THREE
Welcome Aboard!
[Axl]
They say good thing will come when you wait patiently for it. And well, I did what they said but seriously… before I could even wait, blessings start to come to me like a big bang…
"You look happy…" the ship's main cook and the Commander of the Fourth Division of the Whitebeard Pirates(of course he completed it, he's quite a fan lol), Thatch, mused at me who is looking oh-so-happy with additional drool hanging on my mouth
"Huh?" I turned at him with eyes like an owl from hearing his voice personally. That looked made Izou who was sitting next to me spit his tea from trying to laugh
"Yep, he looks happy…" he whispered under his breath and wiped off the liquid he just spilled off.
First off all, WHAT THE HELL WHY ARE YOU ASKING WHY I AM HAPPY? AND YOU ARE ONE OF THE SUSPECTS TOO! Well, as an Otaku myself, I would always go to an Anime Convention held every 2 months an go hog all One Piece cosplayers especially the ones cosplaying the Whitebeard pirates. So literally, meeting them personally and being near then is an instant heart attack for me.
"Earlier he hyperventilated when he stepped on the ship. He also went cold when Vista carried him. He's such a weird guy…"everyone laughed in their eating while reminiscing the embarrassing fuss I just made earlier. Everyone was present in there… everyone except for one…
'Where are you..?'
"Well, anyway, it's decided..! He will be in my division command!" Haruta suddenly barged in the place and then made a tiger leap on me. With the arms encircled around me as if to keep me from running away, he stuck his tongue out to annoy the heck of the Okama in front of me
"Oh nonononononono..! He's staying in my division and help me with the scouting. I heard from Rael that he has fast hands and something similar to observation haki." Rael? Was it the Bar owner? Who would've thought that the protection she offered was really VIP. Owner, you are the real MVP *insert teary eyes*
"Hmmm, but I think he would be interested in my division… Well, I offer free snacks…" Thatch winked at me that almost got my soul out of my body.
Oh my, I guess my One Piece Otaku soul can never get used at this. Sooner or later my fandom is the one that will take my life away, for real.
"Please don't offer such a thing… you'll regret it later on anyways…" believe me, if Ace and Luffy are big eaters… well, don't compare me to them. I'm more of a Glutton than those two if I was ever given a chance…
"Oh, before we all start ripping you apart, what's your name kiddo?" wow, that sounded so extremely wrong coming from Marco himself. Don't tell me he is an actual sadist…
"Holy shit, Marco. Stop scaring the newbie off…" Haruta pulled me away from the blonde pineapple. Wow, look at how pale was Haruta a moment ago. So they can't really make too much bird jokes with him huh?
"Errr… Well, my name is Atlas D. Axl. You can call me whatever you want." Marco smirked that gave me chills… not only me, Haruta too…
"Marco, isn't a bit early for you to show that to the newbie?" A wild Juzo appeared..!
"Don't worry, yoi. I'm not planning to do anything… yet…" Marco used scare..! It was super effective!
"I wanna go home…" Haruta hid on my back when he is supposed to be the one shielding me from the creepy looking bored-grin that the turkey emitted. I felt like crying too since that creepy look is actually directed to me.
"Ain't I the one who is supposed to be saying that?" I asked as I tug his arm and try making him shielding me
"Oh yeah, Oyaji would like to meet you later, Axl. He would like to see the infamous Thief who was adorned by Rael…" Izou said as if he just remembered it. Really, was the Owner really someone important here… then why didn't Odachin show it? Is it because the whole story lies on Luffy?
"Hmm, adorned? I barely was with her… and besides, I only stole something for her. Which I don't understand why she was making a big fuss on it…" they all laughed and then talked to each other
"Well, Rael is an accessory collector. She is an expert on stealing things back then whenever she's done her cooking. Ahh, I could still remember her bringing a national treasure that made a whole country hunt down the crew…" wow, amazing… I never knew she could do that… well, I guess right now the bar is more important to her than stealing.
"To think that she would like a brat is more surprising to me..!" Izou exclaimed that made everyone laugh again. Seriously, they are making me into a clown. All I could do is pout about it
"Oh, Axl..! Have you decided on which division you are gonna join..? Everyone is hoping to have you!" Errr… how can I respond to this? Should I say 'It's the opposite, I am the one who wants you guys… stuffed and preserved… on my shelf…'
…
WUUUT! WTF Axl! Your Otaku instinct is good but hell don't be like that..!
"Well, if he doesn't have anywhere to go, it's decided by default that he will have to stay in the first Division in my care…" Marco once again strikes with his sadist making me and Haruta hug each other
"Bye Axl, I hope you will live your next life in peace and harmony…" he said cryingly
"No… for my sake, you shall go stop the evil forces from spreading…" I said in hopeful voice and threw him towards Marco.
'Go..! My sacrifice..! May the God's be pleased at your arrival…'
"I—I think it's better for me to be choosing a Division soon. But wouldn't it be great if I go stay at each Division every once in awhile?" I suggested with hesitation. It isn't a really bad idea right? Or am I hoping too much..?
"That… sounds like a good idea…" Izou whispered with his thinking gesture
"Then you should stay in my Division for now..!" the forgotten Haruta whose cheeks looking really violet red tackled me in a hug. Lol, what happened with him and Marco while I wasn't looking?
"Hell no, he's staying at mine for this week. Besides, we need him for scouting. We'll be leaving in the next day too…" you smell that..? The smell of adventure?
"Waaah..! Look at that drool..!" Haruta exclaimed while wiping my drool from his hair.
"It looks like it's decided then..! Axl is coming to my division tomorrow..!" Izou then pulled me away from everyone else and then hissed at the people.
So, this is how lively the Whitebeard Pirates, eh? I better go have fun..!
Whitebeard sat in silence as the Division Commanders go greet the newbie that Rael recommended. How many years has it been since he heard that genuine laughter of his daughter? After that even that caused her will to shatter apart, Rael wouldn't laugh or smile like she always used to be. She always held worry and doubts to herself. Maybe this was a good thing, taking the kid and nurturing him like what they have done to her. But yet, strange words came out from her mouth that made the kid a whole mystery
'…Oyaji, he is a child that had learned everything just by hearing. Either if it's a gift or a curse, it still remains unknown. But yet… how can a child who learned everything still smile amidst of knowing that the World has done all wrong. Is it because he has that 'D'?'
Whitebeard let out a silent laugh and closed his eyes while facing the cold starry sky. The laughter inside the ship and the voices of fighting made his smile even wider.
'There's no reason for me to question him and his whereabouts. The proof of his existence is enough for me to feel ease. Please accept him, he will bring harmony and change inside the ship. All you have to do is look after him, right? Horahorahorahora~!'
"No..! I refuse..! Axl~! Come with me~! I have many weapon collections in my room! I can show it to you when you stay at my division~!" Haruta's voice was loud enough for the Old Pirate to hear him trying to get the young newbie
"A little change… doesn't sound bad at all! Gurararararararara..!"
What fate does the young teen have in his hands?

Now I'm not! *gets back to her room and starts sleeping*
