Grand Line - Going Merry, Jack's POV - Some Time Later
I sigh as I sit in my work chair, going over my various experiments and repairing various pieces that have either been slightly damaged or broken from our rough ride getting to the Grand Line.
He would have to get some new beakers and test tubes as about a dozen had smashed from the journey so far along with getting a more stable chemistry stand and holder to make sure that this did not happen anymore so that if the ship did rock or shake about so much which he knew it would; then the glass containers would not break as about half of the things in them could react badly and explode as he knew they would.
He looked over at one of his experiments, well more of a collaboration between him and Usopp, which would help the long nosed sniper with some of his ammunition to give it bit more bang for their beli than what Usopp had at the moment.
He had showed the sniper some of his work during their short journey together and expressed interest in helping, after testing him on his knowledge of chemistry and general science related to some of his things he made, which he then allowed Usopp to help with and use some of his things for his work as he remembered some accidents when Luffy's rambunctiousness had caused many an explosion and failed experiment of Usopp's work and equipment leading to both young men getting beaten up by a pissed off Nami and Zoro (She, because she was busy counting her money and he, because they interrupted his nap).
The experiment would give Usopp's exploding ammo more power and range than what the sniper normally had as he knew it would come in handy later on in their journey.
He heard shouting and loud noises from outside, curious he investigated and was met with the deck and rest of the ship covered in thick white snow.
He saw Luffy and Usopp having a snowball fight, Sanji busy shovelling snow off the decks, Zoro napping (completely oblivious to the cold and current weather to his amusement) and he could just spy Nami through one of the small porthole windows of the Lounge area.
Feeling a little bit mischievous he used a small amount of Aura Manipulation to scoop up a large pile of un-shoveled snow and place it temporarily suspended over Luffy and Usopp's heads.
He saw the two look around in confusion at the shadow cast over them then look up to see the large amount of snow over their heads with shock and dread covering their faces.
Feeling a bit more mischievous he bobbed the snow up and down to make them even more frightened and when they were just about to run away he dropped it over them.
"Ahhhh, we're going to be buried alive!" Usopp cried in panic as both him and Luffy were buried under the snow.
He began laughing at the state of them after they dug themselves out of the ton of snow.
Usopp looked like he had a giant white wig over his head in the shape of a high wave with snow shaped glasses and Luffy looked like a large snow white Gorilla wearing a now snow covered hat.
He laughed even harder at their stupefied looks which combined with their current appearance made it even funnier.
He also heard laughter near him and saw Sanji busting a gut at the sight of the captain and sniper's appearance, with the snow shovel the only thing keeping him standing.
He then heard Nami come out covered in heavy winter wear asking what was going on until she joined in on the laughter at the hilarious site making even Zoro wake up, only to start laughing at the sight that greeted him.
After a few more minutes of laughing we all calmed down yet were still smiling about the recent funny sight, I saw Luffy and Usopp begin shaking off the snow and crawling out of the large pile of the stuff they were in.
They both ask "Hey, who did that?"
I smirk as I make a peace sign saying with a wicked grin "Guilty as charged."
They look at me in surprise as does Nami who then asks "Why did you do that?"
I shrug and say "I couldn't resist a good prank with such easy targets as those two," pointing at the now clean yet slightly damp captain and sniper who were giving me pouts making Nami and I chuckle at their childish looks.
A cold breeze passes by making Nami shiver at the severe cold of the weather making me concerned "Is it really that cold for you," I ask.
She nods saying, "I haven't been to many winter islands so I am not used to it."
I think for a moment then say to her "Hang on, give me a moment..."
I rush back inside my room thinking of what could help her and the others if the temperature got any colder until I spot one of my unfinished inventions giving my an idea.
Nami's POV - 10 minutes later
"I wonder what Jack is doing in there?" I ask myself in thought.
She could hear banging and general sounds of tools being used in the room Jack stayed in, until finally the sounds stopped and he comes out with something covered up that seemed to be glowing slightly underneath.
Jack then called out to myself and the others "We'd best get inside the lounge for what I want to show you."
I nod and get the others to come inside as I get in first through the door to the lounge, wondering what we will see from Jack's work.
Jack's POV - Now
I come inside the lounge to see the others sitting at the dining table with curious looks on their faces, I smirk as I set my device down on the table and bat away Luffy's curiosity driven stretched hand.
I look at the others saying "We will be getting more weather like this through the Grand Line and it may be even worse than this."
I continue as I grab the cover for my device "So to help, I have made this little gizmo."
I lift the cover with a flair to reveal...a dimly orange glowing handled lamp.
The others look curious and a little disappointed at my invention, which would be more impressive if they knew what it originally was.
Which was a sort of heat grenade that I retrofitted and remodeled to act as a portable heater.
I explain to those who are confused "Don't judge this thing too harshly yet, Nami could you please take your gloves off please?"
She nods confused as she does so but then rubs her hands as they leave the gloves as they seem to be turning slightly blue from the cold.
I ask her "Now place your hands near the device?"
She does so and I then turn a small switch near the bottom on and soon after a bright glow of orange comes from the device and Nami seems surprised as she then smiles in relief and places her hands nearer the lamp while taking her heavy winter jacket and scarf off.
This surprised the others until they too noticed the rising heat of the room and smile in relief at the welcome heat, staving off the chill in the air.
I grin as Usopp asks me "How does that thing work?"
I explain after forming my answer "The heat is made from a gel that I created by mixing together a special Algae and various Jellyfish parts that only live in the northern and most southern parts of the world where the climate is very cold."
"The Algae are what causes the heat as they adapted to the cold temperature in order to survive the harsh waters they live in and the Jellyfish is what gives it the orange glow due to the dark and deep waters that they live in so that they can see where they are swimming."
I see Usopp and Luffy has those amazed and starstruck looks in their eyes at my explanation.
Nami then asks me "Where did you get the ingredients?"
I smile and explain "I have an older sister who does deep sea diving and exploration in the various locations of the different blues and she sends me some samples and things she thinks I might like which in return I send her notes and samples of some of the local or exotic sea life I find in the Grand Line."
I smirk as I remember the fact that she does similar things when I lived in my original world as she worked for a large aquarium and her job was to find exotic and new species of fish and sea life back in my world to display and study for the aquarium.
I spot Sanji who appears to be curious about something as he asks me "Where is she now?"
I shake my head at Sanji's way of trying to get a date or score with a woman but answer anyway "Last I heard from her she was in the North Blue researching on a local myth about a new type of giant crab that can camouflage its entire shell from predators like sea kings and giant squids."
The others are surprised at my answer as I see Luffy drool at the probable possibility of eating such a crab.
We are all cut off from our explanation by the ship tipping to one side causing us to quickly rush out to see the weather changing to a fearsome storm that seems to have blown all of the snow away.
Nami appears shocked at what is going on until she directs us all to help get us through this storm intact.
I help Zoro with the front sail and Sanji with steering the ship through the harsh winds and extreme weather, while I see Luffy holding onto his special seat on the front of the ship's figure head and lastly Usopp who is working on the Lateen Sail (The triangular red and white sail on the back/aft of the Going Merry ship).
Suddenly the weather starts to clear when out of nowhere a fog comes in just as a massive Iceberg appears, I can just see that the ship won't have the time needed to clear the iceberg safely so I quickly do something crazy yet ingenious.
I run up to the front of the ship and quickly start an attack "Aura Palm: Force Shift" soon after I reach the front and send my attack out a yellow shaped palm made of aura energy is sent out by my palms, growing bigger and larger in size until it hits the iceberg, causing the massive lump of ice to groan and shift slowly out of the way until the ship 'just' makes it past the danger zone of the iceberg.
The energy dissipates and goes slowly back into me finishing it with a brief faint flash of yellow.
I sigh in relief as we seem to be in the clear but I speak too soon as I just spot a flash of lightning and dark thunderclouds that fill me with slight dredd.
Nami seems to be way ahead of us as she makes us double our efforts to make it through this horrible storm safely and intact, with Usopp repairing or fixing any small damages caused by the storm as I return to helping keep the sails at the front intact and secure with Zoro.
Sanji appears from the lounge/kitchen with a plate of rice balls to keep our energy up which we quickly snatch and eat as we work before Sanji runs back in to help steer the ship.
A large flash of lightning and boom of thunder rocks the sky with ominous feelings carrying in its wake.
I grit my teeth and think "We have to get through this, I know we will."
Grand Line - Going Merry, Jack's POV - A few hours later
I groan aloud as I lay on the deck of the ship with the others, all very tired and exhausted from the ordeal we have been through.
During the storm we had to make a sudden turn around just as we were about to clear the dark clouds as we had strayed off course from the direction indicated by the log pose of which island we needed to get to.
This had baffled Nami as she thoughts she was going the right way until she took her eyes off the pose for a brief second, of which I had shouted out to her (because of the loudness of the rumbling thunder) saying about the unpredictability and complications of the Grand Line that must be only navigated properly by constant use and watch of the Log Pose's directions in aid of her own navigations.
This seems to make her even more determined to navigate the Grand Line with her best skills and available knowledge, she also soon points our our next destination as it appears; covered in a layer of fog or smoke.
I smirk as I spot our destination with myself thinking "Cactus Island - Whiskey Peak, the first island and town that starts our crazy adventure into the Grand Line's destined route set out for us."
Grand Line - Cactus Island/Whiskey Peak, Jack's POV - Later that evening
I make my way (quietly) to a nearby open window, reviewing our trip to this island so far.
We all had arrived to be met by a very surprising greeting, a whole town of people cheering and celebrating our arrival, who were pirates, where we had met the supposed mayor of Whiskey Peak.
Of whom I knew was a liar and fake mayor of the town we were currently in and had his own secrets to keep.
I do a final check of the room that everyone seemed to be in with a small gentle Aura Wave and finding no one awake or following me.
I sneak out of the back window, only to bump into a previously hidden Zoro.
The man tenses as he turns, gripping his katana's in defense, as I place my hands up in front of me in a peaceful gesture as he recognises me.
I see him relax slightly as he asks me in a whisper "What are you doing up?"
I place my hands slowly as I speak back, keeping my voice low too, "I was just going to do some investigating into the strange occurrences that we've recently had since we arrived here on this island."
He also questions me "How come you aren't asleep like the others?"
I answer back, tapping my nose as I begin to speak, "I realized the food and drink was drugged as I recognised the stuff put in them from many years working with chemicals and drugs for my inventions so I faked eating and drinking the stuff."
He questions me again with furious whisper "You Knew That Stuff Was Drugged?!"
I shrug as I explain my actions "I wanted to do the investigations myself but needed you all to not make things more difficult so I let you all be drugged to sleep, If I didn't then most likely Luffy and Usopp would have caused too much noise to keep this quiet; Nami would have made us investigate by taking money or placing her in unneeded debt and Sanji would have caused to much of a ruckus if I was to rough up and harm some of the women to get answers from them while you were too late to warn or get help from as you just grabbed the first barrel of booze and started drinking before I even tested the food and drink out for drugs."
His cheeks flamed red in embarrassment, to my hidden amusement, as he answers back in a whispered retort "I have a high tolerance to alcohol so I was pretty much unaffected by the drugs because I already slept this morning."
I nod as it does make sense as he probably trained his body to only sleep when he wanted/needed to and his body just rejected the drugs natural effects.
I speak back "Well now that you are here, you can help me out, but we might need to get up to the tops of the buildings to better spy on our 'gracious' hosts."
We both make our way, silently, up on the ladder at the back of the building near the window I got out of and climb up as quietly as we could leading to the set of stairs on the second floor of the building that leads right to the top roof of the stacked housed building.
We arrive just as they start talking of their plans to rob us of our valuables and capturing us for the government.
Zoro takes his blade out and raises it high, with moonlight making the metal blade shine in its luminescence, as he speaks out to the group of 4 below.
"Hey, sorry to interrupt, the journey was exhausting and we've had a long day; so I've been told."
Just as he finished talking I hear some noise below on the ground floor with a few grunts coming out, with a late warning, saying about the missing crew members.
I see the irritation on Mr 8's face as he retorts to Zoro and I "Sneaky wretches, you both should have been asleep with your friends."
Zoro answers back with a wide grin "A good swordsman never lets his guard down plus I took a nap earlier."
I hide a small snort at this now knowing it to be true as I notice many of the townspeople come out of hiding with them all being armed.
I take over Zoro's part in this conversation "Also judging by your faces and expressions along with the weapons you all carry, I'm betting your all bounty hunters whose specialty is robbing drunken pirates who are fooled by your hospitality; it's an original plan I'll give you that at least."
Zoro speaks out the next part in his monologue, taking his conversation back to himself "I count about a hundred of you scumbags, give or take, and we'll fight all of you."
I nod as we both intentionally shout the same thing to the BH's (Bounty Hunter's) "YOU HEAR ME, BAROQUE WORKS!"
We look at each other surprised for a moment as the BH's Leader (Igarappoi/Mr 8) below gasps and yells back to us in panic, "How do you know our Name of Organisation?!"
Zoro answers back with a small grin "I was in a similar kind of work, once upon a time, your company offered me a job with them but I declined because I wanted to be in charge of it and sent your messenger packing with a lost limb and a lot a blood when he said no to my request."
I give my answer also "I was in the same kind of work too but I wasn't interested in being ordered around by some mysterious nobody of a boss."
Zoro continues with his speech "Do the same rules still apply to members?" "Cheesy code names, real identities hidden from outsiders."
He gives a larger grin at his next words "Baroque Works, the secret criminal group that faithfully follows order like herded sheep."
He chuckles as he makes a last comment "That's 'some' secret."
Mr 8's face darkens as he speaks back to us "Since you both know of our secret then we all are left with no other choice but for you two to die, both of your gravestones will join the cactus rocks tonight, KILL THEM"
He gives this last order at this, pointing at us only to stop and gasp to find nothing there for them to find.
I hear and watch from my hiding place everything happening such as the secretly undercover Miss Wednesday gasp in amazement at Zoro's disappearing act, yet I also see Zoro in midair but unseen by the BH's as they are all focused on the roof which has a slight breeze left over from Zoro's leap into the air and my quick Aura Streak and Aura Jump to my hiding place nearby as I see Zoro land unnoticed by his opponents in the crowd of BH's.
They soon notice Zoro to their surprise and slight fear as the green haired swordsman grins again in challenge to his opponents, who start to rapidly fire at Zoro when they all have backed up, only to dodge the sea of bullets sent at him quickly, only for a number of his enemies to kill themselves with each others bullets.
The main bosses of the group watch and comment in stupefied befuddlement at the fact of their men shooting one another instead of their intended target.
I see Zoro rush quickly behind Mr 8 just as he turns to order his grunts to find and kill Zoro calling him, "Only One Man!"
Only to freeze in fear as a sword slowly pokes its way through his curly aristocratically old style white blond hair.
Zoro taunts him saying "Ask yourself, will one gravestone for me really be enough?"
Mr 8 then panics as his men aim and appear to be ready to fire even with if he is in the line said of fire.
He calls out in a rush while bending his head back "Igarappa" as a hail of bullets blasts out of his suddenly revealed saxaphone like buckshot from a shotgun, killing his own men before they can fire at him.
I watch as Zoro makes a break for it, hiding behind some of the nearby buildings, just as Mr 8 unleashed his weapon.
I make my way to Zoro as he gets his swords ready to be of proper use as I know he didn't get much of a work out with them from before we got to the Grand Line.
I give him a nod as he sees me as I then begin speaking to him quietly "I'll be nearby giving you back up when you need it, I think I should stay hidden until the main event of this fight."
He nods as I get back to my old hiding place, the church nearby, while I can just hear Zoro giving his enemies a taste of his new swords.
I quickly get to the bell towers of the church, take out my needed weapon, and select my targets.
I had made sure to get my sniper rifle as I had not much of a proper chance to test it out yet so far in battle.
I can just see my first targets, I switch to semi-automatic and add my silencer, nearing Zoro but I can take them out easy before they get to him.
I fire with a battalion of bullets killing and taking down my targets.
I can see other BH's look around in panic and confusion at the sudden deaths of their fellow hunters making me smirk in satisfaction of my first kills with the rifle I am wielding.
I switch to full automatic and just lay waste to the remaining crowd in the large town square nearby, but I make sure to only injure badly the much younger members and some of the women as I did not want to kill all of them.
I can see Mr 8 and Miss Monday have taken cover behind some building that I cannot get a shot too, I know I need them at least alive if we are to continue with our soon to be started mission with a certain secret princess.
I can also see from my scope and general view Zoro heading in my direction, possibly taking care of the nearby enemies that are too close for me to shoot at for the moment.
I then hear running and yelling from behind one of the towers I am currently in, I turn to see a group of BH's running in Zoro's general direction as they then jump down to possibly surround him and attack.
Luckily, to my amusement, it seems that Zoro is way ahead of them as he seems to have cut a hole in the stone roof that, with a delayed reaction, makes the now landed BH's land on the unsuspecting trap; just as Zoro walks away from where he just stood and created said trap.
I can just see his smirk from here as they fall in within seconds of landing on the now discovered trap, which reveals itself into a empty hole that possibly causes the BH's to drop and be knocked unconscious as they fell in.
I then see to my surprise and shock as Miss Monday nearly takes Zoro's head off with a nearby ladder, if it were not for his fast reflexes which allowed him to dodge said attack.
Then his is grabbed by the neck and then suddenly pummelled by Miss Monday's brass knuckle attack in the face, causing the roof beneath them to crack and become damaged from the impact and force of the hit to Zoro's face, which is slightly impressive but not as impressive as the next part.
It seems that Zoro had overpowered Miss Monday with an even more impressive feat of strength, I notice that his forehead seems to be slightly bleeding but is not too bad, he now has a single arm and hand holding onto Miss Monday's head which seems to be causing her intense pain as she screams out loud in agony.
I hear a slight cracking and crunching as Zoro's pressure on Miss Monday's head becomes too much for her to handle as she soon collapses with a painful expression still stuck on her face as she is knocked out.
Zoro then wipes the blood off his face and soon is having a conversation with the remaining agents who of whom he knew are now recalculating how dangerous Zoro really is.
Zoro soon has a short staring contest with them as a short breeze blows by, then dodges as Mr 8 releases another attack of Igarappa where the swordsman was just standing.
I watch in amusement as the green haired katana wielder makes short work of the so called elite member of Baroque Works as he makes Mr 9 fall and crash into the ground below yet the perfume trick by the so called Miss Wednesday does seem to work on Zoro yet it makes me dizzy with the amount of different scents and chemicals it permeates through the air as it temporarily paralyzes and weakens Zoro.
I feel like sweat-dropping as the thought to be perfect plan is ruined by the blue haired woman's Super Spot-Billed Duck Carue who misses Zoro entirely as the woman riding it berates her duck which stops her from noticing her and her steed running off the roof until it is too late as she falls down and crashes into the ground below.
I then jump as I hear the sound of a horn like tune and the pinging sound of bullets hitting something, I check to see what it is and notice that Mr 8 seems to have snuck up on Zoro with a sneak attack of his Igarappa Saxaphone type shotgun, I then see that he has dodged the attack and has gone down the hole he made when he created the trap from earlier.
I then spot Zoro running for cover to keep out of the range of Mr 8's weapon, only to be caught by a now bruised, torn up and battered (yet vengeful) Mr 9 use a hidden chain from one of his steel bats that wraps around and traps Zoro's arms in a thick iron chain.
But another surprise seems to happen as Miss Wednesday and Carue have Luffy with them, who still seems to be stuffed and is yet to awaken from the drug induced sleep making the straw hat captain look like a snoring rubber balloon, to my slight annoyance as she is making a threat with a dagger in her arm and is pointing it at Luffy's expanded belly and stomach.
But if that is not surprising to see then the small gun muzzles/barrel's coming out of Mr 8's curly swirly hair is a great surprise, as the man uses his ribbon necktie to set up and fire his weapons.
However, what happens next I am betting the Baroque Works agents didn't expect to happen with their thought to be perfect plan of trapping Zoro.
Just as Mr 8 fires his secret weapons, Zoro in a moment of wisdom and cruelty, pulled Mr 9 upwards while still being connected to the chain from said man's bats and made Mr 9 fly into the path of Mr 8's exploding bullets.
Then, as the other agents watched in stunned dismay and horror at what has happened to one of their own, Zoro tugs the dazed and further injured Mr 9, who is still connected weakly by the chain, down and spins him in the direction of Miss Wednesday, Carue and the Snoring Luffy in which the agents end up in with Luffy unharmed as they sail over him and then crash into a building on the other side of the streetway.
A vengeful and angry Mr 8 then starts a barrage of exploding bullets from his secret weapon calling out his attack as he does so "Igarappappa!"
Zoro begins running and dodging the projectiles as he makes his way towards Luffy, then using his inflated belly as a trampoline, he jumps from the ground into the air making a final and single swiping cut from one of his swords; harming and stopping Mr 8 from attacking as the man gasps in a strangled gragle of pain then falls over finished from the lethal wound, for now.
I Aura Port to Zoro just as he sits down nearby on the rooftop for a rest and possible nap.
He turns to me with vague annoyance saying "Where were you during all this?"
I smirk pointing to the bell towers saying "I was just keeping an eye on things from there but you seemed to be doing fine so I only helped when you were not looking or were too busy with your own fights."
I then point to my holstered rifle on my back making my statement true as I see Zoro look around and notice some passed out and killed enemies with headshots and fatal gun wounds on them.
He looks slightly sheepish as he mutters "Oh!" in embarrassment.
I then hear a sound of explosions not far from us as I see a plume of smoke wafting in the air just south of where we are sitting, then soon after I see that the agents we had dealt with are still alive and conscious as it appears that Mr 8 had crawled his way to Mr 9 and Miss Wednesday who were still weak and hurt from their fight with Zoro.
I sit with Zoro as we both watch the preceding interaction as two new people join the group below and talk to them, with the injured agents thinking that they are here to help them defeat Zoro and possibly myself.
But it appears that they are here to kill and stop Mr 8 and Miss Wednesday who are none other than Igaram, Captain of Alabasta's Security and Princess Vivi Nefertari of Alabasta of whom Igaram tries valiantly to protect Vivi by blasting the new agents, who I know are known as Mr 5 and Miss Valentine, with his Igarappappa attack.
This apparently does not work for some reason as they are standing where they were unharmed, they then read out their names, state their crimes and punishment which is death.
I see Zoro enjoying the action as he apparently had a bottle of wine on him that is hopefully not drugged commenting "This is gonna be good, Luffy's still down there with them."
I notice this too and I have to plan for the eventual spat and fight that is soon to happen so that it can be ended swiftly.
I think to myself "Hopefully I can get them focused on the important things like keeping Vivi alive and safe for her to help her homeland with us all assisting her."
Well that is it for the moment, I estimate I will get to Alabasta by chapter 15 or 16 and can then start up with my other OC DJ's Fic with Harry Potter.
Review please and tell me your thoughts as well as vote on my poll as it may be coming down soon to make room for a new one.
Hope you have enjoyed it so far, and again REVIEW PLEASE!
