12: Surrounded by Idiots
Luffy, Frisk, Chara, and Coby arrived at the courtyard where Zoro was being held. The straw hatted boy, being the first to arrive, briefly talked to Zoro, then was off to the base.
"Frisk, go make sure Luffy doesn't do something stupid. I'll get Mr. Pirate Hunter out of here," Chara announced, her sister giving a resolute nod and then chasing after their raven haired captain. Chara then pulled out her knife, setting to work on the ropes that held the man.
"What are you doing?" he demanded, his voice practically oozing irritation. Chara rolled her eyes.
"What does it look like I'm doing, smart one? Trying to cut these ropes. Christ, what are these things made of, iron?" The swordsman glared at her darkly, causing Coby to shudder. The mousy brown haired girl gave an "I've-had-just-about-enough-of-your-ungrateful-bullsh*t" face and continued to free the obstinate man.
"I meant why. I just have to wait a week and I'm free!"
"Yeah, not gonna happen."
"Helmeppo is going to kill you tomorrow," Coby stated as he tried to untie some of the knots. The green haired man's eyed widen before he gained a dangerous glare. Chara then grinned triumphantly as the ropes on her side fell, then she looked Zoro
"Okay, f*cker. I need your word that you won't try to kill us the moment we get you out, okay? Otherwise, I get my brother and sister the f*ck out of here and leave you here to die," Chara said, her intense, blood red eyes glowering at the man. Zoro nodded solemnly, looking directly into the woman's eyes.
"I promise."
Chara grinned at him, slicing the ropes on Coby's side, just as Marines came over to them. The red eyed girl smirked in amusement as a gigantic man with a metal jaw and an axe for a hand strutted over to them.
"Holy sh*t, that is one sharp jawline, sir. Almost metallic," Chara said with a grin. Coby gave her a look that spoke volumes as did the swordsman.
"Is now really the time, Miss Chara?" Coby asked in his usual nervous stutter. Chara shrugged, uncaring as she took up a lazy stance, knife pointed towards the imposing man before them.
"Is there a time not to crack jokes, brat?" Chara asked in all seriousness as Coby and Zoro sweatdropped. The swordsman and Coby shared an unspoken conversation, both agreeing that this girl wasn't all there mentally.
"You dare stand in my way? In the way of my laws?" the blonde captain before her asked, and she nodded casually.
"Yup," Chara said, popping the 'P' as she smirked lazily at the Marine's growing frustration. The truth of the matter was, she was just stalling so Luffy and Frisk could get out of there with limited interruption. It looked like a large portion of the Marines at the base had come out to intercept Coby and her. She also wanted to see how much she could make this Marine a##hole's forehead vein bulge before it burst.
"How dare you?! I'm Captain Axe-Hand Morg-"
"Wait, 'Axe-Hand'? Was Chrome Mouth taken? And why would you make your hand an axe, of all things? That's gotta make things difficult. Serious question: have you ever accidentally amputated someone when you went to shake their hand?" Chara pondered aloud. Zoro looked at her, not sure whether or not Chara was being an obnoxious brat on purpose or if she was just like that. As the swordsman questioned the woman's sanity, Morgan growled dangerous, launching into an attack that Chara nimbly avoided.
At that very second, there was a sound of a glass shattering and Luffy, carrying a grinning Frisk and three swords, landed directly in front of Chara.
"Hey sis! Got the swords!" he announced with the utmost of triumphant expressions, Frisk mirroring it as well. Chara smirked and waved, before leaping up to block a blow Morgan was about to deal to Luffy.
"Pay attention, rubber idiot," she muttered coldly, but she said it with a grin as she engaged in battle with Morgan, "Hey swordsman, how about you help me out and show us what you can do?"
The man instantaneously grabbed all three swords from Frisk's arms, smirking. In one swift move, over half of the Marines present had been dispatched. Luffy took Chara's position of holding off Morgan and solidly punched him in the gut.
Frisk reached to her belt, pulling out a dark purple sphere, and threw it at the dozen Marines coming after her and Coby after cupping a hand over the pinkette's mouth and nose. After a moment, the men began swaying and coughing, then falling peacefully asleep after the purple dust settled.
"Lullaby," the brunette said, smiling almost apologetically. Coby looked at the teen in awe; and here he thought Frisk was weak. In fact, her attack had been one of the most frightening. Turning, Coby saw that Luffy and Zoro had knocked out Morgan while a bored-looking Chara glared at the surrendering Marine.
"So, none of you want to fight back? Well sh*t. Now what am I supposed to do? What a waste of time," the woman grumbled irritably. Luffy laughed at her reaction and Frisk sighed, facepalming.

The three siblings, the pirate hunter, and the former cabin boy found themselves back at the inn run by Rika's mother. Chara, munching on her fifteenth chocolate bar and sipping a beer, watched as her bottomless pit of a brother and the starved swordsman ate at inhuman rates. Somehow, she found herself engaged in a conversation with Coby as Frisk had gone to play a board game with an enthusiastic Rika.
"So, how long have you three been pirates?" the ever nervous boy asked. Chara shrugged, finishing off her bar of sugary goodness.
"Officially? Three days, I guess. But the four of us have been planning to be pirates since we were little."
"Four?"
"Yeah. We have a pain in the a## named Ace. He's Luffy and Frisk's brother and the bane of my existence," was the genocider's response and Coby chuckled a little. Over the course of the conversation, the boy had gotten more comfortable with the red-eyed woman.
"Oi, Mr. Black Hole. When were we planning on leaving?" the eldest sibling asked, causing Luffy to pause in his enthusiastic eating for a split second.
"I'unno," he mumbled, going back to eating with a vengeance. Chara sigh and rolled her eyes. Frisk giggled, a delicate hand covering her mouth.
"Please remind me why we decided it would be a good idea to make this idiot our captain?" Chara asked, slightly exasperated. Frisk smiled smugly.
"Because I agreed to it an you would make a terrible captain. You'd just order us to pick fights and raid chocolate merchants."
"Hey, it's a valid plan! Those people scam you for something that should be a god-given right!" Chara argued. Her little sister nodded sarcastically.
"Sure it is, Chara."
"Hey, chocolate is a necessity!"
"Only for you."
"You know what? Luffy is now my favourite sibling. Hand in your badge by tomorrow."
"Love you, sis."
"F*ck off."
Zoro just looked at them, an eyebrow raised. Luffy, finally having finished inhaling sustenance, grinned.
"She's a lot meaner than she looks, isn't she?" the swordsman asked. Luffy tilted his head to the left.
"Which one?"
The swordsman paused before answering:"Both of them." Luffy laughed happily and nodded in agreement.

Sans and Asriel walked side by side into the Boss's (as Sans had taken to calling him) office. Sans had a lazy expression on his grinning face, taking a sip from a ketchup bottle that seemed to appear from nowhere.
"That just can't be healthy," the teenaged monster noted, causing the skeleton to shrug half-heartedly.
"heh. hopefully my health won't ketchup to me in the future," Sans said, opening the door to Dragon's office. Ariel sighed, resisting the urge to facepalm. It was hard to believe that this man was actually his superior now that Asgore had given up the throne and his status.
"Ah, Sans, Asriel. How good of you to come on such short notice," the middle-aged man said in his stern, imposing voice. Asriel smiled uncomfortably and Sans gave a lazy wave to the head of the Revolutionary army.
"No problem, sir. What was it that you wanted to see us about?" the young goat said, hoping it wouldn't be something boring, like paperwork. The intimidating man gave them both a serious look.
"I have an important job for you two that involves my son."
A/N: Hey peoples. Sooo...I kinda had no idea what to do with this chapter, so this is what you get. Deal with it. Anyways, I've decided to tell you that the human who took Frisk's place is Monkey D. Dragon. I'm pretty sure that I'm mentioned it was him back in a previous chapter, but I forgot lol. Again, I need ideas. Even if it's just something small, like a character interaction you want to see in the future, I'll roll with it. I mean, my friend just mentioned to me the other day that I forgot Chara likes chocolate, and you see what that got me lol. Welp, as always, feel free to reveiw and I hope you liked the chapter.
