Chapter : 4!

The Boogeyman, The Asura, And The Goblin King!

" There are very few Monsters that Warrant the fear we have of them. " - Andre Gide.

Location : Somewhere in the East Blue.

It was a warm Day in the East Blue. Over head The Sun was shinning Brightly and the Water is calm. It's unusually hot and a heavy heat wave has hit the entirety of the East Blue hard. None were hit Harder than The individuals Monkey D. Luffy & Roronoa Zoro. We find them in there small Sail Boat drifting on the Tide.

" So Hungry, Need Food. "

" Shut Up! We wouldn't be in this mess if you hadn't eaten it all! "

The reason for there complaints were that they had been at sea for 2 weeks, and had ran out of Food in 5 Days. Some of might be wondering why they had yet to reach land when Luffy's Navigational Skill where Deacent enough (though apparently not Deacent enough to avoid a giant whirlpool. ) and he'd even brought a Compass when he Left Home. well while he had enough foresight to bring it, he lacked foresight to bring any Charts or Maps To Navigate by, or at least that's what he told Zoro. He was Also still to Carefree when it Came to these things and didn't care if they drifted on the Sea, unfortunately do to this they had managed to run out of Food in less than A week. To top it off it was hot and both men were forced to go with out shirts. ( And to all pereves out there, if anything explicitly Lemon were to come up I would give you warning, So don't get your Hopes up. ) To top this off they just yesterday drank the last of their water ( not to mention Booze. ) and do to the heat were dangerously dehydrated.

" How does someone who wants to be King of the Pirates not have Any Navigational skills whatsoever!? "

" Hey, I have navigational Skills! I just Choose not to use them unless I have to! "

" What the Hell?! Then why have we been drifting since Shells town!? "

" Because I'm the captain and I say We Drift were the Winds of Fate May take us, And What About You? Weren't you some famous bounty hunter who sailed the Seas? "

" I don't remember Ever Actually calling myself A bounty hunter, I went out to sea Looking for just one Man. When I didn't find him I tried but couldn't get back to my Village. I had no choose but to hunt down criminals so that I Could Survive. "

" I see. So your just Lost. "

" Don't say it like that Dammit! " Zoro didn't know what irritated him more. Their situation, Or the Fact that his captains statement was made in such a matter of fact Deadpan Tone. " Any Way, what are we gonna do About This? " Zoro soon Noticed that He Wasn't Getting an Answer he Turned to his Captain and said " Hey!? Captain!? Luffy, Hey!? Answer Me! " While Luffy Didn't Look at Him he did Answer " Zoro correct me if I'm wrong, But is that a Marine Ship? " At this Zoro Looked up & turned to the Direction his Captain was Looking in. Almost Immediately he saw it, it wasn't a particularly large Ship. It wasn't particularly small either. Above anything else however it looked like a Brig class ship. (Look it up if you Must. )

" Shit, where'd they come from? "

" Doesn't Matter. Zoro direct the ruder Towards them. "

" Got a Reason Captain? " Despite asking Zoro did as he Was Told and Directed the Boat towards the Marine Vessel .

" 2 Reasons. 1 : As Pirates it's are ... Duty to Attack the Marines when We can, and 2 : I'm Hungry. "

For a Moment Zoro seemed to think about it and then shrugged.

( To those Who have a Problem, Turn Away. )

In The Brig of the Brig (try saying that ten times fast ) Chained up was a Individual, his arms were stretched up towards the sealing. he was also Chained at the ankles and the waist. As we get to see his face we see that he's the same Young man from The Snowy peak and the warehouse. For some Reason he only looked 12 or 13 even though He should technically be 22. As we Get Closure we see he Has some New Tattoos. On his left arm Along with the Orignal tattoos There was now Between The lighting star and the earth Square was a Dark red triangle with the Kanji for fire in it, Right between this and the Earth Sqaure was a Circle colored gray with the Kanji for wind inside. Up near his shoulder Just Below a scar where the Hath Yin yang was the now completed symbol.

On his chest just below the left shoulder was a snake biting it's own tail. Inside the circle of the snake's body was 12 religious symbols forming a Clock. In the one position was a cross that resemble a long sword, 2: was an eye of Ra, 3: was a Muslim crescent moon & star, 4: was a Aum, 5: was the Star of David, 6: was a Yin/Yang symbol, 7: was a Devils pichfork, 8: a swastika, 9: a Shinto gate, 10: resembled the standard Kanji for nine, 11: a hand of Jainism, 12: and was a grinning skull. The hands of the clock resembled the legendary hammer Mjolnir, & the trickster staff of the Norse god of mischief, Loki. Mjolnir was the small hand while the staff was the big hand. Together they were at the position of 10:13.

On his Back Were Visible Scars From what Seemed Like whipping, some of which were Fresh. His Finger nails were shaped like Claws. As we finally get to his Face We see that his Ears where somewhat Darker than the rest of his body and were Pointed . His Hair Was now Somewhat spiky and Retained the Colored hilights of Red, Blue, Black, Orange, and Yellow at the Tips. He also appeared to Have two metal fangs Protruding From His upper lip, Last there was a scar running from his temple Down over his left eye down to his chin and branched off towards his ear down his neck and his Ribs stopping at his waistband.

The Young Man was Currently contemplating his life. Right at this moment, it sucked, He was beaten, bruised, and bleeding in The brig of A heavily armed Marine ship, God did he hate the Marines. He had been on South point Island which was named for being southern most Island in the entirety of the East Blue, And known as a small sort of haven for Pirates and Other sorts of Criminals. Normally he Wouldn't have been Captured except he was Taken by surprise, As these weren't East Blue Marines as it turned out they where from the grand line and was Taken out Cause he was in Shock. Why had Marines from the grand line shown Up? As it turns out a Crew from that had formed in Paradise ( first hath of the Grand line. ) Had decided that It would be easier to make profit if they went to one of the Four seas, the weakest one of course Made the most sense and so there they went. Marine HQ KNew that even trying to Let this slip would make them look bad as an active pirate crew from the Grand line in one of the four blues was liable to be a massacre.

When they finally found the crew they were relaxing on South Point, they Wasted no time and attacked. In the process of finding the crew they had taken down most of the criminals on the island including our Young man who at the time was Robbing the drunks Blind and managed to Make off with five million berries before he was taken by surprise and captured. Later most of the other pirates died either from their wounds, or malnutrition, or being outright killed by The Marines. He was the only one left alive, while he hadn't resigned himself to death just yet, he'd as of now had yet to see an opportunity to Escape. Just as he was gonna continue contemplating escape he heard what sounded like an explosion from the deck followed by what sounded like the cries of Battle. He just looked up at the ceiling with an irritated look on his face.

" What the hell are those idiots doing? "

Back on Deck :

Currently the Marines were having a bit of Trouble as they where currently under Attack. There attackers just happened to be none other them Roronoa Zoro and Monkey D. Luffy. Despite being from the grand line the Marines just couldn't seem to get a handle on them. Currently Zoro was surrounded by 20 armed marines preparing to strike. One over eager marine decided to go in for the kill coming at Zoro in what seemed to be a blind spot. Zoro of course saw this coming out of the corner of his eye so as the young Marine lifted his sword to slay The swordsman Zoro turned to his right Blocked the attack and Slashed at his intestines & a wave of blood erupted from the young Marines guts. At this More Marines tried to Attack Zoro but were No match as he Was Cutting them left and right. Meanwhile with the Captain Most of the Marines couldn't even touch him let Alone attack him, Earlier When he and Zoro boarded the Marine Ship both neglected to put there shirts back on and so Luffy Currently Lacked His Weapons, not that he needed them as The marines were Currently Getting there collective ass Kicked. Mostly he was just dodging there blows and taking them out by the Dozen when he saw an Opening. All to soon the fight was over (that is if you can call it that. ) & the two pirates went to Find the Kitchen, Unfortunately they had som trouble.

Luffy and Zoro continued to search everywhere they went. Rooms they visited included most of the individual bunk rooms, 3 separate Bathrooms, What appeared to be a interrogation room, some kind of morgue, and even the dinning hall, but no kitchen. At this point they were getting frustrated and wanted nothing more than leave except they were still hungry and needed to get there hands on some food. Zoro deciding That starting a conversation would help the situation. Having noticed some bandages on his captains lower back he decided to comment on it.

" Say Luffy, what's with the bandages on your Back? Your not hurt are you? "

Luffy who was still preoccupied with finding the Kitchen barely heard his first-mate and said " hm, oh no that's just for the tattoo I got before we left shells town. It completely slipped my mind " Despite having seen the Tattoos on his captains arms this new revelation about a New Tattoo surprised him for some Reason.

" New tattoo, and you didn't inform me of this why? "

" Cause it was meant to be a surprise for when it fully Heals and we've got a few more crew members. "

" Okay, well that's reasonable. But why keep it a secret? "

" I told you, Cause its meant to be a surprise! "

Maybe it was the way he said it or maybe it was cause it just wasn't a legitimate answer, but Zoro got really pissed at this and was ready to start an argument with Luffy when the Captain saw A door to there left and said something like " I hope this ones the door to the kitchen. " he said this with a rather ridiculous pout on his face and went to open it, oblivious to the fact that his first-mate had a stupid look on his face due to his Captains abrupt change in subject & stupid expression. When Luffy Opened the door What he saw wasn't the much desired Kitchen but a mostly bare room covered in nothing but shackles and one poor and decrepit looking 12 year old.

Our young man was annoyed when earlier he heard what sounded like a battle going on upstairs On deck. It was difficult to think and despite the possible consequences he had decided to scream to the Marines to Shut up, except That the noise had stopped by the time he got around to it. The Entire fight couldn't have been longer than 15 minutes, and there had been complete silence for at least 25. So when two guys randomly barge in the prison Hold With dumbfounded faces that he knew he shared, to say he was shocked was an understatement. Feeling that introductions were needed in this awkward situation, are young man said " Well this is new. "

" Who are you? " Asked the Straw-hat wearing pirate.

" I feel that I should be asking you that seeing as your the ones who Busted into my cell "

" Us? This is my First-mate Zoro, and I'm Monkey D. Luffy, and I'm gonna be King of the Pirates ! "

For some reason this struck a cord with the Young man.

" Oh, and may I Ask why you have barged into my Private Courters " Pirate King " oh so rudely? "

Despite saying this sarcastically he seems to show that he was not meaning any disrespect As he addressed the Straw-hat Pirate.

" Oh, we weren't looking for a cell, We where Looking for the Kitchen "

Luffy of course said This while grinning like a loon ( Yeah, Like he isn't one. ) and For some reason the young man just smirked showing off his gleaming metal fangs.

" Well my name is Edward Michael Jackson Or Eddie Michael Jack as I prefer and you may call me Mike, Whichever one you prefer. And as it turns out I happen to know where the kitchen is. If you Free me I can show you where it is.

At This the two pirate's just looked at each other communicating mutually through their thought's. Almost simultaneously they said in Union " You got a deal! "

Later in the kitchen :

Soon after breaking him out of his Shackles Michael lead Zoro and Luffy to the Kitchen, Once there All three of Them began to gorge Themselves on the Marines Food Stock.

" So you guys took out all the Marines on this ship? Cause there was about 250 Men on board. "

Mike of course said all this while devouring a Chicken leg.

" Yeah that's right. it wasn't to hard, So you were captured during a raid on south point? That's some pretty tough territory "

Zoro himself was scarfing down what seemed to be hath a pound of pasta and a whole loaf of bread. Not to mention a Tanker of ale.

" No problem, nothing I can't handle. Besides I've never Quite fit in with polite Society anyway. "

while these 2 were Conversing Luffy was of course stuffing himself with About hath of the Ships industrial refrigerators contents. He was Of course silently listening in on the two's conversation. While they shouldn't have been doing so the two older pirates had let there guard down and where unaware of a presence right outside the Kitchen door.

Having finished his conversation with Zoro Mike then turned to address Luffy " So ... Luffy, Zoro tells me that you don't have any more crew members, which means that your probably looking to recruit some. So I was wondering if I could Join your Cre ... " Just as Mike was about to Finish his sentence a bruised and Bleeding Marine came rushing in sword raised. Just as Luffy and Zoro were about to act Mike grabbed the Marines forearm mid swing.

" Now now, didn't any one ever tell you its not safe to run with sharp Objects, You could poke an eye out with that thing "

" Go to hell pirate scum! "

at this Mike lost the smile he had been wearing and got a cold look on his face .

" You first Marine Bastard " and with these words Michael grabbed the back of the marines head and broke his Neck with a sickening Crunch.

At this there was complete Silence, no one moved a Muscle. Finally Luffy decided to break the tension.

" Yes "

This seemed to get the other 2 out of there stupor.

" What? " asked a hyperventilating Michael.

" Yes you can join my crew, and my first Official Order to you as your Captain is ... Take a shower. You Stink! "

this seemed to put the 2 others back into shock. It seeded for a few minutes there was complete silence Until Michael starred chuckling and said.

" You got it Captain, and may I ask what you and Zoro will be doing in my absence? "

Luffy just smiled at this and said " we'll be getting rid of all the live Marines so that we can take over the ship " it seemed as though the grin on Luffy's face only seemed to get bigger as he said it.

In response to this Michael replied " I see " and the turned and left for the showers all the thinking, 'So I've found you at last have I, Pirate King . ' as his new crew mates went about Haling body's.

One hour later on deck :

Luffy and Zoro had just finished lowering the dead body's of the Marines into the water and getting all the Unconscious Marines into the life Boats. They were now currently taking the time to relax as they waited until there newest crew member was finished bathing. Zoro was currently leaning against the mast taking a nap while Luffy was stripping the ship of all obvious association with the marines. This was going good until he came across the Problem of the sails Which bared a huge Marine emblem.

it was at this time that Michael came on Deck while drying his hair with a towel. He was now dressed in fully clean clothes. a black T-shirt And dark blue jeans. his Hair was also shorter and the bit of scruffy beard from his face was now completely gone. He was Bair foot and had a ring on his right ring finger with a silver band and a tigers eye stone. He was also carrying a Black Fedora with three silver stars on the left side. Seeing his Captain looking at the sails he asked.

" What'cha you doing captain ? "

" just trying to figure out what to do with the sails. "

" Oh I see, well if your that concerned with the sails, then I suppose we could just buy some new ones once we next hit port. "

" hm, yeah that seems like a good idea. "

" Yeah, any way listen Luffy there's something I want to show you and Zoro. so could you please wake him up and follow me. "

" Sure " and so Luffy went to wake up Zoro by hitting him over the head.

" Ow! What the hell Luffy?! "

" Mike has something he wants to show us. "

" And this couldn't have waited until after my nap. "

" Nope. "

Zoro just grumbled at this and followed as instructed, he soon noticed that they seemed to be getting deeper and deeper into the core of the ship and decided to ask about It.

" Hey Mike, where Exactly are we going? "

" I'm So glad you asked Zoro, you see this ship has three levels below deck. Level 1 is offices and living quarters, Level 2 is of course as you saw it where you find The Kitchen, the dinning hall, and sparring area. Finally Level 3 deep storage is where you find thing like weapons, medical supplies and emergency food stock. We are currently just entering this level. "

this seemed to satisfy Zoro for now and he continued to follow. After awhile they just continued to walk until they came to a heavily locked Door, Zoro was just about to ask how they where supposed to get in when Mike simply broke the lock and so he stayed silent. While Mike held the door handle, he did not open it Immediately and decided to say first.

" Before I show you I'd just like to point out that you two are gonna be really happy you followed me down here. "

And so he opened the door ... And low and behold the two Senior Straw-hat Pirate's jaws dropped. sitting before them in three neat piles were mounds of of gold, jewels, and other valuables, in other words Treasure , and lots of it. While Luffy just Continued to stare, Zoro's reaction was a little more interesting.

Holy Shit, where'd all this stuff come from?! "

" My sentiments exactly, As for where it came from? Well as it turns out the Marines Have a policy that all money in the position of criminals will be Confiscated, Basically meaning they have the right to Take and do with it whatever the hell they want! Sort of like a legal version of finders keepers. Bunch of Greedy Bastards! I'd say that theres about 12 million berries. "

Just as he finished This statement Luffy Screamed out " Treasure! " and dove right into the Middle pile and started swimming in it. At this Both Zoro and Mike just Laughed and guffawed! In his Mind, Mike couldn't help but think that not only did he find his king, But maybe a family as well.

As usual please review and To those of you who managed to guess the meaning of the title of this chapter, good for you.

I got the idea that the crew was basically a bunch of monsters after Sanji replied to Choppers Question about what a rubber-man is and answered with " a Monster. "

in my mind ever since then the crew has been a bunch of Monsters,mBut the good kind.

Next time we should be reaching Orange Town. So until next time and Once again please review.
