Chapter 4: Lucy & Zoro VS Morgan! Setting Sail to Who-Knows-Where!
"What?" Zoro asked, "The Pirate Queen? Are you an idiot? Do you even understand what that would mean?"
Lucy looked at him like he was the idiot of this story, "The Pirate Queen is the Pirate Queen, how else can you put it?"
"I was surprised at first, too," Coby said, "but Lucy-san is really set on it! I believe in her too become the Pirate Queen and find the One Piece!"
Lucy grinned and held out the swords, "Here, which one is yours? I didn't know which one was yours, so I grabbed all of them."
"All of them are mine," Zoro responded, "I use three swords to fight."
Lucy's grin disappeared, then reappeared, "You'll take them, right? But if you fight alongside me, you'll owe me. So what'll it be? Join me or get killed by Marines?" Lucy asked. Zoro smirked.
"You really are the devil's daughter. Fine, I'll fight alongside you," he responded.
"Yeah!" Lucy cheered.
"Cut the celebration and untie me!" Zoro yelled. Lucy began to try to untie it.
"Come on, hurry!" Coby urged.
"It's just getting tighter!" Lucy exclaimed.
"Quit screwing around with it!" Zoro yelled.
"If guns don't work, then cut them to pieces!" yelled Captain Morgan as the Marines charged with swords.
"Damn it, just give me my swords!" Zoro yelled again.
"Lucy-san!" Coby panicked.
SLICE!
There stood Zoro, who damaged all the Marines with swords. He held a sword in each hand, his last sword in his mouth.
"So cool!" exclaimed Lucy.
"Lucy, let me tell you one thing," Zoro said, "I aim to be the world's greatest swordsman! If you do anything to make me give up my ambitions, I will end your life with my swords!" Zoro exclaimed.
"The world's greatest swordsman, huh? I'd except no less as the Soon-to-be Pirate Queen!" Lucy grinned. She then ran over and aimed to punch Captain Morgan; however, Captain Morgan used his Ax as a shield. "Someone like you could never beat someone like me, who is nicknamed 'Ax-Hand-Morgan'!"
"I'm Lucy!" she said, tipping her hat, "Nice to meetchya!"
"DIE!" Morgan screamed, throwing his ax at Lucy. She dodged it with ease. Once she was up in the air, she round-kicked him. When he got up again, it was the same thing: he swung his ax, she dodged, and she round-kicked him. Once he was down again, Lucy pinned him and grabbed him by the collar, "How dare you Marines- *punch*-destroy-*punch*-Coby's dream!"
"Oi, Straw Hat, look over here!" Helmeppo yelled. Lucy didn't take notice and continued to punch Captain Morgan.
"I said look over here you damn Straw Hat!" Helmeppo's hand began to shake.
"Oi," Zoro said, getting Lucy's attention in a second.
"I-If you c-c-care about his life, don't move!" Helmeppo stuttered, "You try anything, and I'll shoot!"
Again stood a scared Coby; however, when he saw Lucy grin at him, his expression turned into bravery, "Lucy-san! I don't want to do anything to interfere with your dream...! Even if I die!"
Lucy's grin widened, "I know! Give it up, Helmeppo, Coby's serious," Lucy said as she inched closer to Helmeppo.
"Lucy-san! B-behind you!" Coby panicked. Behind Lucy stood Captain Morgan.
"I am Ax-Hand-Morgan! The Captain of the Marines!" he exclaimed with his ax raised at Lucy.
"Rubber... Pistol!" Lucy exclaimed, hitting Helmeppo's face, Morgan's ax just above Lucy's head. Suddenly Morgan fell back, revealing Zoro, who had sliced Morgan.
"Nice, Zoro!" Lucy complimented.
"It was nothing, Captain," Zoro replied. Then Zoro looked to the Marines, "Whoever wants to fight us, step forward."
Then all the Marines threw up their weapons and cheered.
"Huh? We defeated their captain and they're celebrating?" Lucy asked.
"They must of all been afraid of Morgan!" Coby concluded. Suddenly, Zoro fell down.
"A-are you okay, Zoro-san? Are you injured?" Coby panicked.
"I-I'm...hungry..." Zoro responded.
~.~
"Maaaan, am I full!" exclaimed Zoro as he finished his food, "that mean was worth not eating for three weeks!" The girl giggled. Lucy looked at his finished plates.
"Eh? That's all you're gonna eat?" Lucy asked. Zoro looked at her seriously.
"I still don't see how such a small girl like you can eat so much more then me." Zoro pondered.
"It's really good, right, Coby?" Lucy asked. Coby looked up.
"Heh, heh, Gomen, I helped myself, too." The woman smiled.
"It's fine. You did help save the town after all."
"So, how many shipmates are there?" Zoro asked. Lucy swallowed her food.
"Just you," she replied before digging back in.
"EH? J-just me?" Zoro asked, not believing he was the only crew member, "Ship? What about our ship?" Lucy pointed to the smallest one in port. Zoro sweat-dropped, "That?"
Lucy nodded, "It's small now, but we'll eventually get a huge one!" she said, daydreaming about her being the captain of a huge pirate ship. Zoro laughed.
"How?"
"I want an awesome pirate flag, too! Yeah, that'd be so cool!"
Coby decided to chime in, "Lucy-san wasn't exactly born with planning skills."
"Is this girl really going to be my 'captain'?"
Lucy swallowed more food, "Don't worry about it! We'll get more crew members, eventually."
"Where are you guys going to go to, now?" the little girl asked.
"Where else?" Lucy asked, "the Grand Line!" Coby spit out his drink (through both his mouth and his nose).
"You can't go to the Grand Line! It's impossible!"
"Is it really that dangerous?" the girl asked. Coby nodded.
"It's called the 'Pirate Graveyard' because everyone who goes in it doesn't get out alive!"
"But the One Piece is there, so we'll have to go eventually," Lucy said.
"Well, I guess we have no choice," Zoro agreed, relaxing in his chair.
"Not you, too, Zoro-san!" Coby whined.
"Why does it matter to you, anyways? It's not like you're coming," Zoro pointed out.
"Lucy-san is my friend! I have a right to worry about her," Coby remarked. Lucy stood up and went to Coby. She held out her fist.
"Even though we're parting ways, we'll always be friends!" Lucy said. Coby looked at her fist, then he understood. He fist-bumped it.
"Yeah..." he said, "Lucy-san, thank you. Because of you, I can now fight for my dream!" Just then, the Marines walked in. They walked up to Zoro and Lucy.
"Is it true you are pirates?" the Marine asked. Lucy grinned.
"Yup! We're pirates!"
"We are thankful of you for saving us from Morgan; however, now that we know that you're pirates, we're going to have to ask you to leave." Lucy and Zoro nodded and exited the cafe.
"Wait, you two. Is he a part of you guys?" the Marine said, pointing to Coby. Lucy smirked.
"I can tell you what he's been doing for the past two years," Lucy started. Coby started sweating bullets, 'Lucy-san, you wouldn't!'
"You see, there was this REALLY fat she-pirate, with this iron club, and you see, he-"
SLAP!
Coby punched Lucy in the face. Lucy's smirk grew wider, "Now you've done it, you bastard!" she yelled as she continuously punched him. Eventually, Zoro grabbed her by the collar, "That's enough, Lucy."
The Marine pointed at Lucy, "It's clear he's not with you!" Lucy smirked yet again. Coby looked at Lucy 'She...she did that on purpose...!' Coby immediately stood up, "I... I want to join the Marines!" The Marine stared at the boy intently, "We have lost many Marines to the pirates. The life of a Marine isn't an easy one."
"Then?"
"Permission granted!"
"Hai!"
~.~
"That was something back there," Zoro complimented.
"Coby can handle the rest," Lucy concluded.
"To leave the town with everyone hating us... that's the life of a pirate," Zoro joked. Lucy giggled, causing him to blush a light pink.
"Right."
"Lucy-san!"
"Hm?" Lucy turned around to see Coby. Coby saluted.
"Thank you very much! This Marine will never forget you!" Coby thanked.
Zoro smirked, "I've never heard a Marine thank a pirate before." Lucy set the sail.
"We'll meet again, Coby!" Lucy waved as they sailed away.
"Everyone, salute!" the Marine yelled as the rest of the Marines saluted, "you have a great friend, there."
Coby teared up, "Hai!"
