Nami awoke to the sun hitting her face from the window. It had been almost a whole month since Luffy had passed. That day had plagued her memory ever since. Every time she closed her eyes she could see that mans snake like face. She replayed the events of that day through her head over and over again thinking that the outcome would somehow change if she did so.
It was a day like any other. Luffy and Usopp were fishing off the side of the ship, Sanji was cooking, and Nami had been tanning.
"Hey guys. Whats that?" Franky said. In the distance was what looked like a large green ship.
"Marines!" Usopp shouted. "we should avoid them before-" Luffy hopped over to the lions head on the front of the ship.
"Alright lets go you guys! They probably have tons of yummy food on their ship!" Luffy shouted. Everyone reluctantly agreed. They knew that there was no stopping their captain once he got riled up. Plus maybe with the extra food Luffy wouldn't steal other peoples food as much. Just as they were about to attack she heard the sound of wood splitting. The whole marine ship spit into tiny pieces as marines fell into the water screaming.
"Thank goodness they're gone. They would've just gotten in the way" Said a voice behind them which startled everyone. They turned to see a man in a black cloak that hid his face and holding a dagger in his right hand.
"Who-..." said Usopp. The cloaked man raised his dagger and pointed it at Luffy.
"Shoot to kill, Shinso" he said. His daggers blade rapidly extended towards Luffy who barely managed to avoid being hit giving him a small cut on his side. The sword retracted so fast they couldn't even see it.
"oh shit! Diable Jambe!" Sanji said launching at the enemy. But the cloaked man dissapeared before Sanji even threw a kick and reappeared next to Luffy.
"Sorry but..." the man slashed at Luffy who blocked with armament haki. "...your gonna die today."
he had so much power Luffy almost felt weighted down by his presence.
"Gomu Gomu no Gatling Gun!" he shouted as a flurry of fists flew toward the man who dodged every one.
"Bastard! Ittoryu Iai!..." as Zoro started to draw his sword the man appeared in front of him and grabbed the hilt before Zoro could unsheathe it.
"So strong...i cant draw my sword..." Zoro thought. The man raised two fingers
"Sai!" he shouted. Everyone except Luffy instantly became unable to move.
"Sit there and behave now." he said. Luffy activated Gear Second. He knew this was no normal enemy.
"Its useless you know." he said as he raised his dagger and pointed to a small hole that hadn't been there before as though a piece had been taken out of the blade. "You've already lost this fight."
Luffy didn't try to figure out what he was saying. He didn't have time. "Gomu Gomu no Jet Stamp!" Luffy whipped his foot at incredible speed. But the man was already standing right next to Luffy.
"Kill, kamishini no yari" he said. Suddenly pain exploded from the small cut Luffy had gotten earlier. He looked down to see that half his torso was missing. As Luffy blacked out he caught a glimpse of the mans face. He had light blue hair and squinty eyes and a smile that almost looked fake. Luffy blacked out.
Nami gathered near the mast of the ship with the rest of the crew who were all waiting for Zoro, who was the new captain. Nobody talked. Zoro walked onto the deck in front of everyone.
"I think we may have found him. The man who killed Luffy dies today." he said.
