Author's Note:
So this is based off the first One Piece movie. A lot of the dialogue comes from a fan translation of the movie so if there are any major error let me know.
This is the remastered version.
I do not own One Piece
It was interesting what could happen in a short amount of time. It had only been nine days since Addy was recruited and already they were plagued by problems. After meeting Box guy, Luffy ate most of their supplies in two days and now it's been a week since any of them had food. Second and what concerned Addy more is that they have almost run out of alcohol and if it wasn't for her secret stash in her back she would have and third, apparently all fish decided to vacate the area for some unknown reason. They really needed a cook who knew something about moderation. Or could at least prevent Luffy from eating everything in sight. The only good news about the entire situation was it gave them time to heal from the Bandit King. All of them had basically recovered, though Addy still felt twinges of pain every once in awhile.
Addy was standing next to Nami by the figure head, watching Zoro and Luffy lay down on the deck complaining about their circumstances.
"The cloud looks tasty," Luffy said. Addy glanced up and could sort of see his point. It did look a bit like a puffer fish.
"I can't even drool anymore," Zoro said.
Nami was standing by the figure head just watching the ocean. Addy would ask where they are going but she trusted her judgement. She had something on her mind though.
"Is Nami alright," Merry asked her. Not wanting to look like a crazy person she whispered under her breath.
"Yes, but I am wondering where she is leading us. Not that I don't trust her but I am curious."
"I don't know exactly. She mentioned something about gold and a man named Woonan but the rest she kept to herself." Woonan. That named sounded familiar but Addy could not remember from where and she didn't know how to ask Nami without being suspected of eavesdropping. Which she kinda was but that was details. Nami was so preoccupied that when she broughtup the binoculars she did not even noticed that Luffy jumped up on the railing right in front of her. She yelped in surprise and Addy let out a small chuckle.
"Did you find anything to eat?" he asked her.
She grabbed him and started shaking wildly with an angry look on her face. "Don't scare me like that, Luffy. What on earth were you thinking?"
"I got, got, got, got it, finally got it," Usopp called out. Addy turned towards him to see him yanking hard on the fishing pole. He looked really excited almost like he was doing a little dance. "This pole is really heavy. This has to be the largest elephant tuna in the world!" Addy already knew that was not the case. "Brace yourself, you're gonna eat until your stomach explodes!"
Instead of a fish however Usopp pulled up a glass bottle. "Just kidding," he said trying to cover up his mistake.
At some point Nami put Luffy down and she turned away from Usopp, "I'll never fall for that joke," she said as Ussop started it up again.
"It's here, I got it… its coming!" Usopp said.
"If this goes on for two more days we'll all starve to death," Zoro said.
"He's not serious is he?" Merry asked worry laced in her voice. Addy shook her head. It would take about roughly 30 days and the luckily still had plenty of water. Merry sighed in relief.
"Of all things, who's fault is it that we are all starving?!" Nami asked. She was pacing back and forth angrily. "I worked very hard to store one month's worth of food for this long journey… And who exactly ate it all in three days? Luffy, it was you, wasn't it?!" She stopped in front of Luffy and stared angrily at him.
Luffy equally as angry lifted up his hand and showed two fingers as if he was bragging, "Two days!" he said.
"Don't brag about it! Anyways go catch a bird or a fish or something!"
"Addy," the Merry said. "There are some people sneaking up the rope ladder."
"What? Where?" Addy asked.
"Behind the cabin." Addy walked calmly so as to not tip them off. Luffy was yelling about something but Addy was more concerned about finding the intruders. Addy saw out of the corner of her eye the three boys fighting over something? Rice?
"Pathetic… I was an idiot," Nami said. "Why did I ever join these idiots?" Nami was heading in the same direction as the intruders so Addy walked by her side. When they turned the corner they ran into the three of them holding large sacks.
"Oh, hello," one of them said. He had bright pink hair and was wearing a jacked with a white buttoned up shirt and a bow tie. The two guys next to him were in also in ridiculous outfits. Just like them to be robbed by people with no fashion sense.
"That's my treasure," Nami said. "Who are you people?"
The three of them bowed and the pink haired guy continued talking. Apparently he was their leader. "I'm sure you are perfectly aware of who we are. So long." They turned to leave. Addy saw her chance and took it.
Signaling to Nami that she was going to jump on their boat, she did it in one shift motion while the bandits were not paying attentions, hiding behind the sail. When the boys came they would have them cornered on two fronts.
"Everyone come! Thieves!" Nami called out.
"Thieves? Are they bad people?" Luffy asked. Addy face palmed.
"Who knows, those treasures were stolen in the first place," Usopp answered. Yeah they were stolen from bandits, still stealing but from bad people.
"That's true," Zoro said.
"They're bad people!" Nami shouted.
"Then I'll give you these in exchange for the treasure," the purpled haired bandit dressed in green and yellow said. He tossed the guys rice balls and they reacted like they were the greatest things in the world.
"Oh, they are good people!" Luffy said filling his face with riceballs.
"They are not good!" Nami repeated.
The bandits were on their little boat now, and Addy was prepared to jump them when one of them said "All right, let's go, kid." Addy halted for a second. If there was a captive on board that changed things. He might get in the way if Addy started fighting. Addy could feel the boat start to move and took her chance.
She was about to leap down and attack them when Luffy called "Hey! I need some more rice balls…" Addy heard the sound of a bullet and she knew that all Hell was about to break loose.
Jumping out of her hiding spot she quickly grabbed all three bags back and jumped back onto the Merry before the tiny boat could sail too far away. She placed them by the cabin; Nami would put them somewhere safe and walked back towards the rest of the crew. The bandits called out in surprise but Luffy shout drowned them out.
"Hey Nami, they are bad people!" Luffy shouted with Zoro and Ussop staring at him.
"That's what I told you in the first place!" she shouted back.
"Hey, you shot me!" Luffy called back down to the tiny boat. "I was really surprised!"
"I-I'm sure I hit him," the pink haired thief said. Apparently the shock of Luffy still being alive made them forget all about Addy.
"Shoot him, shoot him!" The purple guy called out.
Going for a box they grabbed all the guns they could and started firing them rapidly at Luffy. Most of them missed but a few of them nicked the ship.
"Ow," Merry called out in pain.
"Captain," Addy yelled. "They are hurting Merry."
As soon as she said that Luffy walked down the stairs and jumped on the railing using his arm to stretch out and grab the small boat. The three bandits stopped shooting and looked at him in surprise.
"Gomu, Gomu no Rocket!" Luffy called out launching himself towards the boat.
"What the…?" the thieves called out. They looked at Luffy in shock as he sailed straight into their cabin where apparently the fourth person was located.
"What," they called out looking like they were about to burst into tears when the mast of the boat fell on top of them with a large crash. Addy felt sad for the poor thing, but that is the way life works. The four of them stood by the railing and watched as the thieves struggled to get up from under the mast, with various grunts and groans being heard. They finally managed when Luffy came out of the wreckage. The thieves backed away from Luffy as far as they could.
"Crap," Luffy said. "I jumped too far." He continued to brush off the leftover debris.
"Wh-What the hell is this guy?" one of the bandits asked. Honestly that was a very good question. Addy was still trying to figure it out. "It's like his body's made of rubber or something."
"Rubber?" Luffy asked. "That's because I'm a rubber man."
"Rubber man?" the black haired bandit wearing a ridiculous pink outfit asked.
"Don't tell me… he's a Devil Fruit user like El Drago?" The pink haired one asked.
"No, of course not. He is just the child of a man who had an extreme love affair with a rubber band. Of course he is a Devil Fruit user!" Addy exclaimed. Usopp, Zoro and Nami all got a chuckle out of that. At this point the ridiculous reactions to Luffy powers were becoming something of a norm. Honestly, she had forgotten how stupid people were about Devil Fruits sometimes. That would change once they reached the Grand Line though even there rubber was a strange power.
"El Drago? Who's that?" Luffy asked. Suddenly there was a groaning from amidst the rubble. The Straw Hats all spotted a black haired boy making the sound. Luffy turned towards him. "What're you doing?"
"Hey Luffy, be careful!" Zoro called out. Turning to see what Zoro was pointing at they saw a ship approaching with a golden lion as the figure head and a large man, about as large as the Bandit King was when he got really angry standing near it. From here Addy could tell that he was dark skinned and had long bright red hair like a lions mane. He was shiny to look at and was holding his hands above his head.
"20 beli says that's El Drago," Addy said.
"Don't be stupid," Nami said. "Only make bets where you can actually make money."
"El Drago," pink haired called.
"That pose, don't tell me…" black haired said.
"He's gonna use his devil powers," purple said finishing blacks sentence.
"Interesting, wonder what his power is gonna be," Addy asked just as the three thieves jumped into the ocean. Whatever it was the three of them certainly feared it.
"What the?" Luffy asked still on the small boat.
"Hey, don't you think the guy on that ship looks strange?" Usopp asked.
"I don't even think he would scratch my top 50 list," Addy replied.
"Really?"
"Yeah, you need to get out more. Once you do he will be near the bottom of your list as well."
"I am sailing on the ocean towards the Grand Line. How much more out can I get?"
Suddenly the man started glowing yellow which Addy hoped was part of his Devil Fruit powers or there was something seriously wrong with him. He let out a high pitched scream and what could only be described as a laser beam of sound emitted from his mouth.
And it was heading straight for the middle between the two ships. The four of them mouths dropped open and various screams of shock and horror were emitted. As the laser passed them it formed waves that battered Merry and the smaller boat. Merry started to tip towards the side and Addy rushed inside to maintain the helm.
Grabbing it with both hands, she carefully maneuvered the ship so that it righted itself. In the back of her mind she felt a slight itch and she knew that the small boat had sunk.
"You okay?" she asked.
"Yes I am fine. Zoro has Luffy and the rest of you are safely on board."
"Good, I figured he would go for Captain."
"Where are they though? They might be in danger."
"Captain and Zoro? They will be fine. It's us I am more worried about. We will find them eventually." Addy laughed. "Knowing them they have probably found food and are stuffing themselves."
"Who are you talking too?"Usopp asked. Addy whirled towards him surprised. Giving a small angry kick to the helm.
"That was uncalled for."
She answered Usopp, "Merry, I was talking to Merry."
"Ah," he said. "Sometimes I do that as well. It feels like she is actually listening, you know?"
"Completely."
"You know that you are going to have to tell them eventually."
"Addy," Nami said coming into the room with them. "I want you to guide Merry so that it is side by side the massive one."
"Sure," Addy replied. When Luffy or Zoro was not on board Nami was queen. "Why though?"
"I am going to steal their treasure in revenge for them taking ours."
"But Nami… we got ours back."
"Doesn't matter it's the principle of the thing."
Addy and Usopp looked at each other and sighed. After coming up with a signal that would alert them for when they needed to pick up Nami, the quickly moved to the other ship, allowed her to jump off and moved away so that they would not notice anything.
"Steal some food too," Usopp said right before they left her on the ship. She gave thumbs up and climbed up the rope ladder disappearing on the deck of the ship.
"Well it's only the two of us and as you're the newest member that leaves me in charge," Usopp said.
"We are approaching an island," Merry said.
"Usopp can you check to see if we are near any islands. Best bet that if there is one than that is where that large ship is heading as well," she asked.
"What makes you think that there are any…"
"Just do it."
Usopp scurried off and not even a minute gone by before he called out. "There is an island. How?"
"What does it look like?"
"It looks like an island. There is a giant mountain shaped like a cylinder but that's the only noticeable feature from here."
'Okay' Addy thought she could work with that. Guiding Merry towards the island, she docked her on a rocky shore, essentially beached her since neither her nor Usopp could actually lift the anchor.
"Okay, here is the plan," Usopp said. "We are going to hide on shore as barrels so when the other ship comes we can ambush them."
"That's the dumbest plan I ever heard. Why don't we stay here and ambush them when they try to explore Merry?"
"Because then… they might actually see us."
"You want to hide don't you?"
"Of course I do, did you see the guy. He can emit sound lasers… SOUND LASERS."
"So, what makes you think that hiding on the beach will be any safer than hiding on the ship?"
"Here they will look through everything, there they will ignore a solitary barrel."
Addy rolled her eyes. "Fine you can hide in a barrel and I will stay here." Usopp carried a barrel and walked towards the shore. Addy wondered if she should bother telling him that the ship was perfectly hidden, but even then he probably would not believe her. Watching him through a pair of binoculars it wasn't long until he was captured. Addy could not make out what he was saying but whatever it was it seemed to have appeased the pirates, or whoever they were and they started walking off.
"Well now I guess it's time to reunite with Nami," she said.
"Good luck," Merry said. "Come back safe."
"I will Merry, I always will."
