Guest: Omg thanks ^^ I don't plan on quitting this story… so don't worry :D
Bluerulez: Thanks :) Yeah I thought people were getting bored with the same old same old, so I decided to change it up; and I'll TRY my best to do that in the future as well.
Well, here's the new chap~
Chapter 9:
Zoro stood at the dock, shocked to see 'his' new ship. "Th-this is what we're sailing in?!" He asked Luffy for the 10th time.
"Yeah I already told you! Franky and Iceburg are here fixin' the ship a bit… but I wonder where everyone else is…" Luffy thought aloud, looking around.
"A-And you're saying Franky made this himself?!" Zoro questioned once again.
"Yep! I settle for no other than the best!" Luffy laughed. "We have the best cook- Sanji, best navigator- Nami, best doctor- Chopper, best sniper- Usopp, best musician Brook, best shipwright-Franky, Robin's the smartest of the group so she comes up with good ideas… and….Akane…. She…. She's the… first mate. And then me, the captain who's going to become Pirate King!" He declared, raising his arms high. "By the way, what do you do?"
"I fight with swords. 3-sword style." Zoro told him, showing him the three swords that were strapped to his side.
"You use 3 at the same time?! I thought you just had 3 for fun! Cool! Then you can be our swordsman!"
"Hn." Zoro nodded his head in satisfaction.
"That sounds better than Marimo-san." Robin interrupted, walking towards the two.
"Oh Robin! Where's everyone else?" Luffy whined.
"I don't know. They should be here soon." She answered and then turned to Zoro. "Nice to see you here Bushido-san."
"B-Bushido?" Zoro gulped, that's his new nickname? Though, it did sound better then Marimo. Robin chuckled and walked towards the ship, carrying a small bag across her shoulder. "Then, I'll be settling down first." She told them.
"Okay!" Luffy waved.
:D Page break~
Akane and Kidd walked throughout the little island they reached an in hour. "So why did we stop to come here?" She questioned, sighing.
"I need to see someone here." He simply replied.
"Eh? Who?"
"What? You didn't think you were the only one who was going to help me?" Kidd smirked.
"O-Of course not!" Akane snapped, embarrassed. Yes, she actually did think that.
"Hmph." Kidd snickered and then continued walking, Akane quickly following behind.
"So who're you going to ask?" She questioned.
"Someone."
"Someone who?"
A vein popped on Kidd's forehead and he turned around annoyed. "Shut up woman!"
"What? I'm curious!"
"Oh Kidd~ you got a girl to mess with now?" A new voice interrupted them, and Akane turned her head to see a familiar face.
"Oi, Bellamy. Don't give me that shit. You know why I'm here." Kidd snarled, glaring at his 'ally'.
"EH?!" Akane's jaw dropped and she pointed to the blondie. "B-BELLAMY!?"
Bellamy looked at the girl confused but then his eyes widened; he backed up slightly, sweat-dropping. "Y-You! You're part of Mugiwara's crew!" He pointed out.
"Hell ya I am! You're that bastard who made fun of Luffy, me, and Sanji!"
"Oh~ you guys know each other?" Kidd asked, amused.
"No shit! Wait; is this the guy you were looking for?! Damn! I hate this bastard!" Akane whined. "Though, after Luffy kicked his ass I thought he quitted being a pirate…"
"Shut up! Your shitty captain didn't kick my ass!"
"Yeah he did! Those scars on your face prove it!"
"Sh-Shut up!" Bellamy retaliated once again, covering his cheek.
xD Page break~
"Yosh! Now that everyone's here, let's set sail!" Luffy ordered happily. Some family members stood at the shore of the ocean, sadly watching their loved ones go.
"Yeah!" Everyone cheered happily.
"Bye Doctorine!" Chopper went to the railing of the Sunny Go with everyone and waved.
"Bye Chopper!"
"Bye Nojiko, Genzo!" Nami smiled.
"Bye Nami! Be careful!" Nojiko called out.
"Bye everyone~" The rest said together, as they finally set sail, slowly leaving shore.
"Why didn't old man Zeff come along?" Usopp questioned Sanji.
"I could say the same about your parents…" The cook grumbled.
"It's okay!" Luffy laughed. "Makino and Shanks didn't come either!"
"Oi Luffy, they didn't come because you told them not to." Ace pointed out. (If you guys don't remember, Ace is tagging along as well).
"Is 'at so?" Luffy snickered and then watched the sky. "We're finally sailing after 2 years!"
"Yeah! It feels amazing to be here knowing that this is official!" Nami agreed.
"Nami-swan~ Robin-chwan~ I'll make you dessert right away!" Sanji told them and ran towards the kitchen.
"Oh, Bro! Here I'll teach you how to work everything!" Franky called out, following the cook.
"So… how long will it take us to get to Impel Down?" Zoro questioned Nami who glared at the swordsman.
"I still don't like you." She told him.
"I could care less, woman. Just tell me."
"Hmph!" Nami scoffed but answered anyway, "It'll take 2 or 3 days max. We're lucky it's near our house."
"Hn." Zoro nodded his head and then felt a bony hand pat his back.
"Yohohoho Zoro-san, I feel as if you're more worried about our Akane-san then we are!" Brook laughed.
"Wh-what?!" Zoro turned around, embarrassed and the crewmembers laughed.
"Akane isn't going to die that easily!" Usopp told him.
"Yeah! She's been in huge fights where we all thought that she woulda died, but she didn't thanks to Chopper!" Luffy agreed.
"Oh that doesn't make me happy, bastard!" Chopper gleamed, receiving more laughter from the crew.
"Indeed, Akane-san does know how to take care of herself." Robin nodded her head.
"Yo Zoro! Come play hide and seek with Usopp, Chopper and me!" Luffy suddenly called.
"I'm not a little kid!" The swordsman retaliated, annoyed and embarrassed at the same time. "Tch." He scoffed and found a comfy place to sleep in. Sitting down, he laid his back against the mantle and put his hands behind his head and began to snore.
"He fell asleep so easily…" Nami half gasped.
"Man~ that's boring!" Luffy pouted. "Hey Chopper! Usopp! C'mon!"
"Okay!"
"Oi Luffy! Lemme join! It's fun once in a while!" Ace tagged along happily.
:O Page break~
Kidd, Akane and now Bellamy went towards Kidd's ship. "So where's the rest of your crew?" She asked the blondie.
"Where?! Where do you think?! They left after your stupid captain-"
"Kicked your ass?" Akane finished the sentence, laughing and getting a glare from the man.
"Seriously, Kidd, why the hell did you bring her along?" He sighed.
"I needed her, that's all. She's strong." Kidd simply stated.
"See? I'm strong! Why are you here anyway? Kidd, Bellamy isn't anyone useful!"
"Yeah I am!"
"No your not!"
"Shut up!" The Captain shouted, annoyed by the kid brawls. "I'll kill both of you if you continue fighting!"
"You can't kill me that easily though…" Akane muttered, receiving another glare.
;D Page break~
It had been 2 long, boring days for Akane and they were finally reaching Impel Down. "Oh! Oh! I see it! Kidd! I see it!" She jumped up and down excitedly.
"What are you?! A little kid?!" Bellamy scoffed, though he was pretty excited as well, his bounty would go up now that he's here- and he felt safe enough with Kidd here.
"Keep your voice down!" Kidd snapped.
"Sorry~" She apologized and then a question popped into her head. "How are we going to get in there by the way?"
"Don't worry, I have some plans." Kidd told her, smirking. She gave him a confused look and then faintly saw a ship with snakes in the front sailing towards them.
"E-eh?! Th-That's… Hancock's ship?!" Akane gasped, now turning to Kidd. "What is she doing here?!"
"I got her to come." He told her, smirking. "I told her that your shitty captain will be coming here and she came here quickly."
"Wh-What?! Do you know what she's going to do when she knows you're lying?! She's going to turn us into stone! Into stone!" Akane flustered, repeating herself.
"Don't worry about that!" Kidd smirked. "I have a feeling that shitty captain of yours is gonna come anyway."
"Eh? What? Luffy doesn't know about me coming here!"
"Are you sure about that?" Kidd asked with a poker face.
"Eh?" Her eyes narrowed and she thought deeply. "Well I did tell him something when I was drunk earlier, but I don't remember what… Though I'm positive I didn't give away anything…"
"Well even if he doesn't' come, I'm sure she'll be happy enough to help you."
"Eh? No way! She hates me!" Akane shook her head. "She thinks I'm getting in the way between them! Even though I've repeatedly told her that Luffy's like my brother…"
"Well, then you'll just have to deal with it." Kidd ordered getting a laugh from Bellamy.
"Serves you right!"
"Shut up!" She whined as the ship gradually came closer and then a board to get Hancock into Kidd's own ship came forward. As always, it was way too dramatic and a red carpet followed the 'princess'. Walking slowly, all the girls cheered silently.
"Hancock-sama~" they all shrieked.
"Augh… it's them again…" Akane sighed and then their eyes locked.
"Where's Luffy-sama?" She asked instantly, glaring at her.
"E-Eh? Ah… Luffy… he'll be here soon! Yeah! He told us to go ahead since he had some business to attend to! But he wanted you to help us earlier…" Akane lied, smiling her best for the annoying girl.
"Luffy-sama!" Hancock shrieked. "He asked me to do such a big thing?!" She chuckled, putting her hands on her cheeks. "Very well!" She then pointed at Kidd, leaning back at the same time. "I'll help you get in Impel Down. You should be happy I'm a Shichibukai!"
"Yeah, yeah. Just hurry up." Kidd muttered, annoyed as well.
"Hmph!" Hancock narrowed her eyes. "Another man who doesn't fall for my charm exists!" She shook her head in disappointment. Though, on the other hand, Bellamy was there drooling like a big.
"That's disgusting!" Akane gasped, smacking the guy into unconsciousness. "So let's go!"
To be continued xD Yes, this story is going slow, but there's a reason why~ there WILL be action next chap, I PROMISE! :D BTW, I added Bellamy because I thought that it would be too outrageous for just 2 people to go and break into Impel Down… Luffy's the only exception xD Well until next chap~ please R&R :)
