9: To Hell With Logic
The sea breeze blew through Chara's now long hair. It had been ten years since Frisk and her had met Luffy and Ace and nine years since they had become a crazy, fighting, and completely dysfunctional family. She had decided to join Luffy's crew along with Frisk. Her excuse was that she didn't want to go with Ace, but didn't want to go by herself. The truth of the matter was she wanted to make sure her younger sibling didn't get themselves killed with their naivete.
This is how she found herself in a frankly enormous barrel, spinning in a whirlpool with her younger siblings, wondering how the hell they weren't dead already and how Luffy could manage to sleep through this ordeal. Frisk, the little masochist, seemed to be enjoying the life or death scenario they found themselves in.
"I'm gonna puke," Chara mumbled as Frisk just smiled serenely. Suddenly, the spinning stopped, giving way to gentle bobbing in the ocean, then stopping altogether. Chara let out an audible sigh of relief.
"Thank f*cking god," the girl groaned, still trying to refrain from puking. That was worse than getting levitated by Sans in a fight. At that moment, the pacifist started to giggle, earning herself a death glare from her sister. The sound of a loud yawn interrupted Chara's glare as Luffy woke up. Rubbing his eyes with a smile, saying, "Man, that was a good nap!"
Frisk burst out laughing as Chara started to systematically plan the rubber boy's untimely demise. How both of her siblings could remain so calm was absolutely beyond her.
"Hey, did you hear that?" came a gruff voice, silencing Frisk as she tilted her head, curious. Chara, on the other hand, was oblivious, still plotting against her brother.
"It's pretty crapmed in here," Luffy said before standing up impossibly fast, both fists in the air and breaking through the barrel's lid. Chara then noticed the light and the three people outside of the barrel.
When the hell did we get on a boat?
Chara didn't have much time to think, however, as the two other men gathered their wits an raised their swords to attack Luffy. The red-eyed woman swiftly jumped up, knife in hand, blocking their attacks while simultaneously breaking their swords. Chara sent them a withering glare.
"Get lost." The men ran, dragging their comrade behind them while leaving the boy with that had also been with them behind, cowering before Chara, Luffy, and the now emerging Frisk. The single-minded Luffy was already off looking for food, not even paying attention to the pinkette before them. Chara just rolled her eyes. Following her little brother while observing their surroundings, she decided that they had been brought on the ship while Chara was plotting against Luffy whilst in the barrel.
"Oh, hello," Frisk said, noticing the frightened boy. He started a flinched back, making the pacifist frown. She then smiled sweetly, outstretching her hand to the sitting boy.
"Hey, don't be scared. I know my sister's kinda scary, but she means well," she said, "My name's Frisk. That's boy raiding the pantry is my brother Luffy and my sister's name is Chara."
"C-Coby," the boy said, taking the girl's hand. She smiled, helping him up. He weakly smiled back.
"That was p-p-pretty cool, w-what you did back there," the boy, Coby, said to Chara. This brought her out of her musings, noticing the boy, finally.
"Huh? Who's the brat, Frisk?" she said disinterested. The younger sister smiled saying, "This is Coby."
"Hey," Luffy said through a mouthful of apples. Chara glared at him.
"That's disgusting. Swallow before you talk, Luffy."
"Okay," he said, still chewing. She just sighed, muttering a 'whatever' under her breath. She then turned her attention back to the other boy, her frightening red-eyes scrutinizing him.
"Hey kid, can you get us a boat?" she asked, making him flinch. A memory of Alphys was brought to the minds of both girls, but the quickly pushed them down. The boy nodded, scared of Chara's intimidating gaze. She smiled, relief washing over her.
"What...What are you guys anyways?" Coby asked cautiously. Luffy grinned, having finally finished his meal and joined the conversation.
"We're pirates!" he said simply, yet enthusiastically, much to the pink haired boy's shock, disbelief, and horror. His jaw dropped to the floor, causing Frisk to giggle and Chara to smirk.
"You're...you're...you're pirates?! Impossible, impossible, impossible!"
"Bet your a## we're pirates, and this knucklehead is going to be king of 'em," Chara said, playfully digging her knuckles into his temple with a proud smirk. This statement only gained another string of 'impossibles' from Coby.
"Do you guys know how dangerous that is?! You could all die!" Chara gave a bitter chuckle. If only the kid knew how many times Frisk and her had died; he'd have a fit. Luffy's eyes became serious, though his happy, determined smile was still present.
"That doesn't matter to us. We each have our own dreams and we'll see them through, no matter what. Even if we die, we'll have died trying to accomplish our goals," he said, looking the boy in the eyes. Coby looked to Frisk, who nodded, her closed eyes filled with DETERMINATION. Chara leaned against the wall, smirking at the weakling before her, who was obviously mesmerized by Luffy's statement.
"Okay, enough of the inspirational speeches. We've got a boat to borrow."
Coby, however, just gripped his knees, not meeting any of their gazes. Finally, his head shot up and his eyes were filled with a certain fire as he asked, "Luffy, Chara, Frisk! Do you guys think...DO YOU THINK I COULD EVER JOIN THE MARINES?!" they collectively shrugged, "I will join the Marines! That is my dream! And the first thing I'm going to do is capture that dirty sea-hag Alvida!"
"Good for you, kid," Chara said with mild sarcasm, nonplussed, even as a gigantic woman fell through the ceiling and landed right behind Coby. Luffy was smiling while Frisk had only the slightest look of shock.
"Huh? The f*ck are you?" Chara said as she noticed the hag before them, her knife clutched lazily in hand.
A/N: And done! Sorry this chapter has such a cut off ending, but I couldn't really come up with any other way to end it. I was originally planning for Chara to either set out on her own or go with Ace, but then thought, "There's no way in hell she'd do that." Anyways, I hope you enjoyed. Please leave a review or idea if you want. Reviews always make my day and ideas will be very helpful as I have no idea as to what will happen past them getting to Zoro. Feel free to still guess on who replaced Frisk and Chara as the first human and the savior of the Underground. And thank you for all the support I've gotten for this story. I never expected it to get any recognition lol.
