Mika: The hell is wrong with you?
They...they...THEY REALLY LIKE ME! ~(*[]*)~
Thanks for my love reviewers, and followers/favs. I'm really surprised at how much you guys like this.
More questions...for you... Do you guys mind if I only really follow Jade, but include the others at the right time, like how the introduced Ace? Cause I think I'm gonna do that instead of hoping between four people.
I don't own One Piece. Story time!~
"...Ro...Roronoa?!" I gasped, ducking my head as said man looked over towards me. "What!? Isn't he a bounty hunter?! Ya know, the guys that kinda help the marines! Why the hell is this guy locked up?!"
Jacob shrugged. "Like I said, the onion kid said for it to happen, and you know how that goes."
"Yeah, yeah I know. 'I'll tell my Daddy on you." I shrugged my cloak back onto my shoulders, trying to conceal my self as much as possible. "So how long is he in for?"
"I don't know. It's some deal he and onion top got. I think it's a month with no food. He survives, he gets set free, if not..."
"Nobody can survive a month without food!" I said squaring my shoulders and walking out to the tied up man.
"Yeah...OI!" Jacob ran after me. "What do you think you're doing?!"
"Talking to him."
"Wha-! Jade you of all people know the rules! You've been here half your life!"
"Thanks for the reminder Cub." We were now at the post and Roronoa was giving us a nasty glare.
"If you get caught-"
"I'm not gonna!"
"If I get caught-!"
"Then scram!"
"I brought you out here!"
"And just what did you think I was gonna do?!"
"Who are you people?!" Roronoa was still glaring but there was a look of confusion now.
"The names Jade and this little scaredy cat is Cubbie." That earned me a smack on the back of the head. "Ow. I mean Jacob, the strong and beautiful." Another smack. "Ow. I heard you went up against the son of Lieutenet Morgan."
(3 pov)
"I did it cause I had to! Plus I-"
"Good job!" Jade offered a cheshire cat smile. Roronoa blanked at her words, before he looked at the pair again. A girl, a little younger than him from the looks of it, in a cloak, smiling at him as if he did the funniest thing in the world, and a marine nervously glancing around as if the shadows would jump him.
"...Who are... you people..." Zoro shook his head, "What the hell do you want?!"
"We're going to be good friends, I just know it!" Jade smiled wider.
"Oh, please, you just like him cause he stood up to Onion head." Jacob said, shifting from foot to foot.
"Yeah! I like anybody who will stand up to that ass."
"Why don't you stand up to him?" Zoro snapped, already tiered of the bickering.
"I did insult him once but...Garp hits really hard..."
"..." Zoro looked at her in confusion. "What?"
"Do not ask." Jacob blanked.
"...Isn't it wrong for marines to insult their superior?" Zoro smirked at girl, although he was sort of curious.
"Please! I'm not a marine! I'm a free woman! I'm just waiting!" Jade shouted. Jacob rolled his eyes.
"Ah yes, dream boy is going to come here and sweep her off her feet, and they'd live happy ever a-"
Jade smacked him on the back of his head. "How many times do I have to tell you, Luffy is my friend, and he is real! Ass!" Even when she had shown Jacob the letters Luffy had sent back with Garp, he still didn't believe her. Especially not when the last letter had been from a year ago. But that had been the last time Garp had visited the island, and Jacob hand been away on another mission then, so he hadn't seen Garp give her the letter.
Jade suddenly looked up to the sky as she felt a beam of sun hit her face.
"Oh! The suns rising higher! We best be going before we get caught! Come on Cubbbie!" Jade sprinted back to the base door, almost running into the fence on the way back.
You could almost see the giant sweat drop on Jacobs forehead as he followed. "What time did you go to bed?"
"At five!"
"...Twenty minutes ago?!"
The door shut, leaving behind a very lost Swords-man.
"Who are you people?!"
The next few days brought many encounters of Jade and Zoro. While they didn't become best of friends, they did talk about this and that, and she snuck him what she could out of the kitchens, which wasn't much. And it turned out she hadn't been the only sneaking in. Their little group expanded to three, when it was discover Rika(the girl Zoro had saved) had been coming in as well. Jacob, on the other hand, had wanted nothing to do with the bounty hunter.
For some reason or another, Jade decided that she wanted to start saving money and took up a job at a restaurant, from 12 pm to 9 pm, tending to the bar (she became an apprentice again) and serving food.
The small group of three fell into a system of visits and sneak ins and life continued.
The only problem was the fact, no matter what time she tried, Jade almost always got caught trying to untie Zoro. Apparently Jacob still had a job and wouldn't let her untie him, dammit.
Zoro had remained on the post and now he only had ten days left. A whole ten days then he'd get to leave.
"I'm gonna miss you!" Jade yelled hugging the man around his waist, her hood hiding her face. "I cant believe you actually made it this far!"
"Get off me!" Although his words were harsh, he'd miss the quirky girl too.
"I gotta go! I want to go back into the forest today and then I have to go to work. I've gotta take over for Jenna today so I won't have long breaks. I'll try to be there if Ricka drops off more food today, but I sure hope she won't. Not with that onion head walking around. Any way see ya." With that Jade sprinted over to the wall, hopping up onto the top of it. She waved to her friend before disappearing over to the other side.
After training near a river with Hansuke, and dropping off her cloak, Jade took a short cut to the restaurant, slipping though the back door and grabbing her apron before going to take orders.
"So sorry I'm late, but I-" But what ever bull excuse she was about to give died when she found everything over turned and the customers against the wall, cowering in fear.
"What the hell..."
Back with Zoro.
Today was a very hot day, and Zoro wished for nothing more than to stretch his legs and take a nap in some shade. Especially after his latest beating from that annoying ass. The first time Jade came back to find Zoro beaten and bloody, shed been livid, and it took Ricka, Zoro (though he couldn't do much), and Jacob to hold her back and calm her down.
Speaking of Jade, he was starving... Well more than usual...Jade had about thirty minutes left on her shift and Rika hadn't visited yet, and he hoped Jade could keep it that way. If she was caught, who knows what that idiot Onion would do.
"...Zoro..." Said man picked up his head as he heard his name. Expecting to see a young girl or a hooded woman, he was surprised to find a young teen and a pink haired boy. They seemed to be speaking to one another, about him no less.
'Well...let's humor them...'
"Hey! Why don't you come over here and untie me?" Zoro called smirking at them. "I've been tied up for a long time, and I'm exhausted!"
"Hey he's smiling."
"He...he talked..." The pink haired boy looked ready to faint.
"I'll hunt a fugitive, and give you the rewards to repay you. I'm not lying, I'll keep my word."
"Don't do it Luffy! If you untie him he'll kill us and escape!" That pink brat's annoying.
"He can't kill me." Oh? "I'm too strong."
"Ah?!" Even Zoro hadn't expected that. He certainly didn't expect the latter that appeared next to the two boys. Or the little girl that popped up next.
The Pink haired boy almost had a heart attack when Rika hopped down to the other side and walked towards him.
"AH! Don't do it! It's dangerous!"
Zoro looked down at the small girl. "Hey, what are you doing here?" 'It's broad daylight, and Jades not here.' "You wanna get killed or something?! Scram!"
"I made some rice balls for you! You haven't eaten in a while right?" She smiled at him."This is the first time I've made rice balls!"
"I'm not hungry!" Zoro shouted. "Go away!"
The smile dropped. "But..."
Zoro knew he was running out of time. "I don't want it! Leave! I'll kill you if you don't go!"
"Roronoa Zoro!" A very annoying voice called.
'Shit.'
"Don't pick on little kids, or else I'll have to report to my father!" Helmeppo smiled and adjusted his suit. Zoro spotted the familiar face of Jacob out of the two marines that escorted him.
"Tch... If it isn't the lieutenants bastard son." Zoro growled out already getting a headache.
"What did you say?! Don't get cocky! My dads a Marine lieutenant!" He spotted Rika. "Hello little girl...those rice balls look tasty!" He took one before spitting it back out. "Ugh!? Why are they so sweet?!" He threw the Rice balls to the ground.
Zoro could only watch as Helmeppo yelled at the girl, stomping her rice balls into the dirt, before motioning to a guard.
"OI, throw this brat out."
"B-but sir!" It was Jacob."She's only a child!"
"Are you disobeying me?! Throw her over the wall! Obey me or I'll tell my dad!" Helmeppo yelled, pointing to the crying girl.
Jacob glared at the boy. "Aye, sir." He walked over to the girl, looking at the wall for the safest place, before spotting a pair of kids watching.
He nodded to them, hopping they'd get the message to help her, before picking her up. "I'm so sorry about this Rika." He tossed her in the boys direction sighing in relief as the straw hat boy jumped to catch her.
He went back to standing behind Onion, wishing nothing more for somebody, anybody, to throw the ass into a wall.
With Jade.
"Shit shit shit shit shit!" Jade chanted as she ran down the street. Jade had been over worked and hadn't found the time to go talk to Rika till now, but when Jade had arrived at the house, Rikas mother said she has gone out. And it took two seconds to figure out where. 'Calm down, Onion is a grade A ass, but he's not heartless... right?"
Turning down the road,Jade skidded to a stop as she saw Rika in the street, covered in dust with tear stains on her face.
"Rika! Rika are you ok?! Did he hurt you?! I swear if he did I'll go kick his a-" Jade let loses a series of questions, before Rika interrupted her.
"I'm fine! I promise I'm fine!" Jade hugged her younger friend.
"Are you her mom?!" Another voice chimed in.
"No!" Jade shouted, upset that somebody would peg her as looking that old. It was a young pink haired boy, who immanently started to apologize. She glared at him, before realizing she hadn't seen him before. Jade opened her mouth to ask where he had come from, when her watch started beeping.
Looking back to her watch she realized that she had about a minute before things would get busy again, and her disappearance would be noticed. "Oh shit. You gonna be ok here kiddo?"
"Yeah, I'll be fine." She smiled, as Jade ruffled her hair before sprinting back to town.
"Hey!" Rika looked up to see the Straw-hat boy, Luffy, climbing over the wall.
"Who was that?"
"My friend Ja-" She was cut off by another voice.
"Rika!" She looked over to she Jacob, who had traded posts with someone else, running towards her. "I'm so sorry! Are you ok?!"
"I'm fine! He caught me!" She pointed to Luffy.
"Thank you so much!" He bowed to the black-haired teen."What's your name again?"
"Monkey D. Luffy!" He smiled at the Marine, who held out his hand.
"Great to meet you! My name Ja- wait did you say Monkey D. Luffy?!"
"...ah yeah I did." Luffy looked confused.
"...holy shit..." The older man looked bewildered. "...Ah...how's about we go into town...to get...some...thank you dinner...right after I grab ...a couple of things things..."
"Jade! JADE!" Jacob bursted into the restaurant, paler than pale and breathless.
"What?!" The waitress jumped a foot in the air before looking at all the staring costumes. "...Let's talk outside." She dragged him outside to the side of the restaurant. "Now speak."
"Dream boy...town...punch...onion...base..."He weezed.
"What? Jacob, stand up and speak, I can't understand you." Jade crossed her arms.
He took a deep breath. "Monkey D. Luffy was in town and he punched Helmeppo in the face! And is now headed to base!"
Jades stood frozen, eyes wide, for a full minute. Before she shot off like a bullet. It most defiantly sounded like something Luffy would do. 'And if I was Luffy, I'd be in the place that'll cause the most trouble. Which, of course, would be...' Jade smirked as she twisted though the town. "The base."
Jumping onto the wall, Jade paused to catch her breath, before looking to Zoro, who was with the Pink haired kid from earlier. "Hey Zoro, have you seen-" She cut herself off as she watched the top part of a giant statue of the lieutenant fall off the top of the base. "...Never-mind, I found him."
After staring at the top of the building, Jade decided that she'll go grab some of her things. That is until she heard the sound guns being fired. Jumping down from the wall, she just barely missed a bullet to the head. The pink haired boy, wasn't as lucky, as he was shot dead on.
"KID!" Jade ran to him, sliding to a stop on her knees in front of him, a white blur jumping on to her shoulder(Hansuke). "Yo! Kid, are you alright?!"
Coby suddenly picked up his head and stared at his bloody hand, that had been on his shoulder. "AAAAAH! I've been shot! Bleeding! I'm bleeding! I'm gonna die!"
Jade pulled back at the sudden screaming. "Yeah your fine. "
"Run for your lives. They be here any minute." Zoro said.
"No!" The kid was determined. "I've gotta set you free!"
"Theres no need to worry, I be free set free after a month. "
"They won't! They're gonna kill you in three days!"
Both Jade and Zoro reeled back in shock, before Zoro jerked back forward. "That bastard promised to set me free after a month!"
"He never intended to keep his word! That's why Luffy-San punched him on your behalf, because he was toying with you!"
Zoro looked stunned. "What did you just say?..."
"They navy will never let the two of you go! Please! Help rescue Luffy-San."
Jade tuned out the rest as she looked towards the base, Hansuke purring slightly. "...Good job, Luffy. Guess you've come a long way from yelling at bandits."
"THAT'S ENOUGH!" Jades eyes snapped to see several marines. "You've betrayed Lieutenant Morgan! YOU THREE DIE HERE!"
Coby cried out, as the marines pointed their guns at them. Jade slowly turned around and stood up.
"Jade!" The lead marine cried in surprise, but didn't lower his gun. "...back away from them."
"No." She snapped, Hansuke jumping off her shoulder, before they got into a battle ready position, causing the Marines to shift uncomfortably. None of the Marines were very comfortable shooting the girl they watched grow up( or the other kid for that matter.), but they had no choice, not with Lieutenant Morgan, who just walked up behind them.
"SURROUND THE BASE! DONT LET THAT STRAW-HAT BOY ESCAPE!" He yelled before turning to face three people in front of him. "How interesting...Are the four of you planning to cause political upheaval?"
"Roronoa Zoro...I've heard of you from a long time ago, but don't underestimate me! Brfore my great strength, you are nothing but trash! And you...Siren C. Jade.(1) I never liked you. I should've known it was you in the hood, visiting Roronoa, but its not like you could do anything. You're just a whiney bitch with an annoying cat."
Hansukes fur stood on end as he hissed at the Lieutenant.
"Fuck you." Jade glared at Morgan, readying her self. 'Although there is no water for me to fight with...we're dead..."I never liked you or or your axe arm. Gross as hell."
He glared harder. "READY!" The guns trained onto the group of four. Several things happened then.
Just as soon as Morgan yelled 'FIRE!' somebody shot in front of the group.
"Luffy!" Jade cried out in joy, although she was drowned out by the sound of gun fire.
"YOU!?" Zoro yelled in shock.
"LUFFY-SAN!" Coby cried out.
Jade watched in amazement as Luffys skin stretched with the bullets. She had heard of this trick from one of his letters, but it was much different to see it.
"IT'S NO USE!" Luffy cried out with glee as he fired back all the bullets, at the speed of a gun, causing Marines to scatter. "HAHAHAHAHAA!"
"WHAT KIND OF HUMAN ARE YOU?!" Zoro cried in shock, as Coby fainted backwards.
"Shishishi...I am, the one who will become the pirate king!"
Jade chuckled as she watched her friend talk to Zoro, mumbling to herself."Haven't changed, not one bit."
Luffy looked to the gathering crowd of Marines. "Resisting the Navy with me will make you an out-law! Or maybe you want to die here?"
Jade suddenly was cut out of the scene when a hooded figure stepped in front of her. She stopped short of punching him when she saw that, one it had her cloak, two Jacob was in the hood, and three, he was carrying two buckets of water with him. He simply set them down in front of her, hugged her, and said. "Show what you're made of water girl(2)... Sorry I can't join ya...I'll miss you." with that he ran off, but not before turning around and smiling at her. "Oh and, nice pick of a dream boy." He winked at her, while nodding to Luffy.
"Shut up...ass..." Jade smiled at him anyway, putting on her cloak hood as he ran away.
"That guy...how the!?" The Marines were starting to pick themselves up. "How did he mange to repel all those bullets!?"
After a minute of talking they began to charge towards the tiny group swords raised.
"Ah ah ah boys..." Jade smiled, drawing the other threes attention before lifting her hands and making the water snake up out of the buckets. "Stay down!" The water suddenly shot out of the buckets hitting several men in the chest and knocking them over. Hansuke pounced onto a poor guys face, yowling as he knocked the guy over and moved on.
"WHOA HAHAHAA! THAT'S SO COOL! BE ON MY CREW!" Luffy yelled as he watched the water race back to her.
"Focus Luffy!" She yelled back to him, causing him to turn back to the knots.
"Damn this knots hard to untie!"
"OI! Hurry up!" Zoro shouted.
Coby suddenly came too,muttering to himself...until he saw the crowd of Marines with sharp swords rushing towards them, and Jade fighting them with whips of water. "WHAAAAAAAAH!"
"Stop being so noisy!" Luffy shouted looking at the pink haired boy.
"We don't have time for you to take your time!" Zoro hissed.
"Oh! I got one side!"
"Idiot! Hand me my swords!" Luffy fumbled with the three swords.
"ALL THOSE WHO OPPOSE ME MUST PERISH!"
"Oh for the love of!" Jade turned swiftly, lashing at the ropes with the water.
The Marines swung their swords, only to be stopped by Zoro. He held a Katana in each hand and a third, in his mouth, having all three hold all the marines swords, much to everybody's shock.
"OOOOOOH! AWSOME!"Luffy cheered.
"Don't move!" Zoro growled. "You move, and I kill you!" Jade laughed as he scared every single Marine, before she went to stand behind Luffy to check on Coby.
"Whaa...! How scary...!"
"I told you I'd be a pirate with you, but either way...after toady I'll be an out law. But I still have my own goals! I'm going to be the worlds greatest swordsman! Bad guy, good guy, it no longer matters! As long as my name is know, world wide! If you do something that gets in my way, I'll have you cut your stomach open to say sorry!"
"Good! To be the worlds number one swordsman. Since you wanna be the Pirate kings crew member, if you couldn't accomplish something that small, I'd be very embarrassed.""
Well said." Zoro smiled.
"WHAT ARE YOU IDIOTS STANDING THERE FOR?! FINISH THEM OFF!" Morgan shouted.
"Zoro duck!" Luffy shouted, before spinning around and lifting his leg. "Gomu Gomu no..." His leg stretched and swept aside all the marines. "WHIP!" "So cool!" Coby shouted.
"What are you?" Zoro questioned, looking back at the rubber boy.
"I'm a rubber man!"
"They're just too strong!" "Lieutenant, we just cant kill these two!" Jade shot up as her ego took a hit.
"Um excuse you?! Two? I do believe I also kicked your asses!" Jade glared at them as she went unheard.
"This is an order, who ever just said that..." Morgan glared. "Get a gun and kill yourself! I dont need useless soldiers! THAT'S AN ORDER!"
Jade jerked back in surprise, and gasped as several men put guns to there heads. "What the hell do these dumb marines think they're doing?!" Zoro growled, before Luffy shot off like a rocket.
"I'm the marines worst enemy!" Luffy shouted as he punched at Morgan. "If you've got any guts then execute me!"
The men with guns lowered them away from their heads, watching the rubber man.
"LUFFY-SAN! DEFEAT THESE MARINES!" Coby shouted.
Jade was about to move closer to hear the fight, but she saw Cobys shoulder.
"Here." Jade said, ripping part of the bottom of her cloak. "Let me help with that."
He flinched at the sudden touch, before letting her wrap his shoulder.
"... Are you a friend of Luffys?" Coby asked as he watched her eyes constantly dart over to were Luffy fought.
"Yup! The names Siren C. Jade. Nice to meet ya."
"Oh! So you're Jade! Luffy wouldn't stop talking about you. It was either food or him telling me about the crew he wants, and how he has to find you before going anywhere on Grand Line!"
"..."Jade stared in shock. So he hadn't forgotten after all.
"Wahh!" Coby cried, bringing her attention back to the fight. "That fence just broke in half!"
Jade jumped up as Luffy kicked Morgan in the face with both of his feet. "GO LUFFY!" She went over to Zoro bringing her whips back up.
"Stupid bastard." Morgan growled lifting up his axe before slamming it down. "Die already!"
Luffy avoided it with ease. "Don't wanna!" He kicked the Lieutenant in the face again, grabbing onto his shirt when he went down.
"Some Marine you are, destroying Coby's dream." Luffy pulled back his arm to punch the man.
"Wait!" A voice called out, causing everybody to look over to Helmeppo, as Luffy punched Morgan. "Idiot! I said wait!"
Onion was pointing a gun to Cobys head, "If you want this guy to live, then don't move!"
The air was tense as every held still.
"Luffy!" Coby called suddenly. "I...I don't want to be in your way! I'm not afraid of death!"
Luffy smiled. "I know." Luffy pulled back his arm. "Stupid son! Cobys not afraid of death!"
"LUFFY! BEHIND YOU!" Coby called out as Jade shot out her water whip,and Zoro readied his swords.
"I am...the great Marine Lieutenant!"
"Gomu Gomu no..."
"Daddy! Hurry!"
"Pistol!" Luffy stretched his arm and punched Onion in the face, not even flinching as Morgans axe stopped inches away from his head.
"Nice!"
Morgan fell from the cut Zoro had made in his side. "Zoro!"
"Leave it to me, Captain."
Jade let the water drop from around Coby, which had been ready to pull him away if necessary.
"Lieutenant... Lieutenant Morgan has been defeated."
"If you still want to come arrest us, come and get us." Zoro said, looking to the Marines, who just looked at each other...
And started dancing. "WE'RE FREE!"
"WE'RE OUT OF MORGAN'S CONTROL!"
"LONG LIVE MARINES!"
"What's going on?" Luffy asked, looking around. "They seemed to be happy Morgans gone."
"Everybody hated Morgan!" Coby smiled.
Jade suddenly saw Zoro fall to the ground. "Zoro?!" Running to her friend, she realized that said friend had barley eaten for several days now.
"Zoro?!" Luffy echoed her.
"He needs some rest and some food, but other wise, he'll be fine." Jade said, leaning away from the sleeping Swordsman
Luffy let out a laugh before looking at Jade. "By the way, you look familiar...what was your name again?"
"Ya know, I'm almost insulted you haven't recognize me yet..." Jade said, pulling off her hood.
Luffy stared at her for a minute,before an ear splitting grin appeared on his face. "JADE!"
"Finally!" Jade sighed throwing up her arms, before she felt to rubbery arms wrap around her and pull (drag) her into a hug.
"You look so different! And you were wearing a hood! But I found you, just like I said I would! And now I have two crew members!" Luffy kept one arm around her waist, before he stretched his other to grab Zoro. "Come on! Let's go eat!"
"Yup, you haven't changed a bit." Jade snickered as Luffy dragged Zoro and her to town,coby trailing close behind.
Later
"I'm full!" Zoro smiled as he patted his stomach.
"Ya know, this is the first time I've seen you without you bandana, and smiling." Jade said, pointing her fork towards Zoro.
"Well, I haven't eaten in forever! I almost starved!" Zoro laugh again.
"Then you never would have made it the full month." Luffy said as he continued to stuff his face.
"Oh, you know what, I need to go grab my stuff! Be right back you guys! Thanks for the food ma'm!" Jade said, thanking Rikas mother, before heading out the door.
She almost ran straight into Jacob. "Cub?! What are you doing here?!" He said nothing, just shoved a bag into her hands. With a start she realized it was filled with her clothes and drawing things. She looked down at the sound of a meow to find Hansuke looking at her impatiently. "Wha..."
She then noticed the other marines behind him.
"Siren C. Jade." The newest captain, Jade recognizing him as Mark, stepped forward. "From this day forward, you are to be considered a pirate, and no longer allowed on the premisses of the Base." He walked forward and put a hand on her shoulder. "It's been great to watch you grow up kiddo. Be safe out there alright? Its not a pretty world out there."
Although Jade never made good friends, she had always gotten along with everybody, and in turn, they had always looked out for her. It suddenly hit her full force that she was leaving the town she grew up in, the people that had aged with her. They had taught her many things about life and although it was never her idle way to live, it had been her life until now. She walked forward and hugged several men, saying her goodbyes and 'thank you's. Some of the men even burst out crying, much to her surprise.
Turning around, she looked to her two year friend. "So...this is it..."
"Nah...I'll see you, I'm sure...I just have to find a way off this island first..." He pulled her in for a hug. "See you soon, Jadey-gem."
"You and your awkward nick names...see you soon Cubbie."
"Yo! Jade! Let's go!" Luffy called as he walked away from the small house.
"Coming Captain!" Jade smiled at her friend one last time before picking up Hansuke and running over to the very small group.
"Come on! Don't you want to arrest me?!" Zoro taunted some marines, who jumped in surprise.
"Aw, Zoro, don't taunt them like that! You'll give them nightmares!" Jade let a sly smile creep on her face as she joined in the teasing.
They laughed and made jokes until they got to the docks, where Zoro looked at Luffy.
"Nice act, by the way. So even now that he's been a pirate before, it won't be such a big deal.
"I think Coby will be stronger and more independent in the future!" Luffy said, smiling.
"Lets get out of here, before something else happens. Not leaving anything behind, that's what pirates are all about." Jade snorted at Zoros description of a pirate.
"That's what I'm sayin!" Luffy joined as he untied the boat.
"Lu...Lu...Luffy-San!"Coby came running down the street, panting before he stood up straight and saluted them. "THANK YOU SO MUCH! I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE!"
"I've never seen a marine salute a pirate before." Zoro mused.
"First for everything Zoro." Jade laughed as she got into the boat, almost having to drag Hansuke on. (He's not a fan of so much water...)
"We'll meet again someday, Coby!" Luffy shouted.
"Group salute!" Mark shouted, and the group of marines all Saluted the three pirates.
"Bye! See ya!" Jade and Luffy jumped and shouted until they couldn't see the marines anymore.
"Yahoo! We're off! Grand Line, here we come!" Luffy shouted as he sat back down, causing Zoro and Jade to smile at their new Captain.
(1) Hansuke told her that Siren C. is what Jades last name would be if she had always lived in the world of One Piece all her life. It was a name thr pirates gave her mother.
(2)yes Jacob knows about Jades 'powers' but she didn't tell him, it was more like, he awkwardly stumbled upon it.
