With Fishman Island behind them the Demon Pirates had entered the new world. Once there they were confronted by Captain and Lieutenant Elizabeth, only to have them retreat right as the battle started getting intense.
"I wonder why they fled in such a hurry I mean seriously, so what if the water is a little strangely colored. This is the grand line after all weird stuff happens." Says Nathan as he looks out onto the strangely colored ocean." Akane how long until the next Island."
She simply points towards the left," the island is right there Nathan."
Unknown to the demon Pirates however, they were being watched. a group of sea slugs. The slugs in question are sending the location of the Devil's Fortune to someone on the nearby Island.
They hear slowly coming up from below deck. What the fuck is going on up here?! I'm trying to sleep you assholes!!!"
Ahhh Tayuya you missed all of the action. Captain Kasu, his lieutenant and a bunch of Marines attacked, but weirdly retreated when sailed into this weird colored ocean. "
"Fuck!!! and I missed all of the action damn it!!! Why the fuck did you not wake me up?!"
"We were letting you sleep off your drunken episode." I say as the Ship Sails up along the edge of the shore. anyway while you were sleeping we left Fishman Island, Perona officially joined the crew, and we are now on the next island in the New World."
They pull up to the Shoreline and dock the ship in a little Cove. They disembark from the ship, and start looking around the island. what was weird is the island appeared to look like it was made out of food.
they don't get much time to explore as they suddenly hear someone yelling at them. " Stop right there! You're trespassing in the territory of Big Mom."
Nathan and the crew look in the direction of the voice, to see a man with a a black pinstripe suit jacket on. He is wearing a hat, and a black jacket over his shoulders, however his arms aren't in the sleeves. He is smoking a cigar and has a 5 o'clock shadow. Nathan however recognizes the guy from seeing him in the papers all the time. The man standing before him is Capone Bege, worth 300 million, and captain of the Fire Tank Pirates. " Give up kid, I have you severely outnumbered. " from what Nathan knew of his powers he wasn't lying about that one. while he appeared as if he was alone, Nathan knew better. he has a devil fruit that allowed his body to become a living Fortress. A devil fruit known as the Shiro Shiro no Mi.
"What the fuck you mean?! As far as I can fucking each other you're out here all alone dumbass. " Tayuya much to Nathan's dismay.
Capone gets a bit of an annoyed look on his face. " Watch your mouth brat I hate rude people like you." Little doors open up on his body, and a bunch of tiny guys on tiny horses come flying out. When they are clear of his body suddenly they are normal sized." Now what were you saying about me lying you little redheaded bitch. Now how you going to ask you all to leave this island or I will have to use force."
"Sorry I cant do that. " Nathan says as he pulls out his katana.
"Fine, you were warned, men change!" Capone yell as his
Each of the captains we're sitting back and letting their crew fight. Capone because you like to rely on the strength of his crew rather than his own. Nathan did it because he had confidence in his crew and their abilities.
His confidence is not as his crew plows through the enemy. Perona and Levy use their abilities to support the others. Mizore is taking them out right and left by freezing them and hitting them with ice senbon and kunai. Yoko is using her has taken to the sky, and is sniping the guys on horses. Temari is using her wind abilities to tear them to shreds with strong wind gust. Zac and Akane are back-to-back beating the enemy down with their fists. Tayuya summon her Dokai, which are currently plowing through the enemy. Xenovia it's just running through the crowd slicing them to pieces, with her Ex-Durandal and Kojika of course is teleporting around the battlefield slicing them down.
The Demon Pirates make short work of the Fire Tank Pirates which only serves to piss off and annoy Capone. "looks like your men are weak, that was hundreds of guys and they were all taken out by 10 people. Tell what Capone let's settle this with a captain versus captain fight. " Nathan says.
" Fine, but don't come crying to me when you lose kid." He starts by pulling out a Tommy Gun, in trying to shoot Nathan.
Nathan of course had anticipated this and takes to the skies. He flies around at top speed easily avoiding, Capone's gunfire. while doing this he's trying to think of plan, knowing that Capone is a long-range fighter. He also knows Capone's reputation as a master strategist. He would have to do something unexpected to win.
He continues to fly around dodging bullets. When he get and idea, he figures Capone probably still has some of his men garrisoned inside his body to use the Cannons inside. He thinks if Capone is going to do that, then he can utilize the strengths of his crew. He swoops down out of the sky, grabs Kojika by then he hand and pulled her up into the sky with him. " I'm going to need your help." he tells her his plan while they both dodge Capone's gunfire.
She nods and flies back down. Nathan knows Capone will be expecting something, but wants to see if this will work. He flies at top speed, towards Capone dodging his gunfire and using Armament haki combined with his own natural speed to slice some of the bullets. He gets closer and closer to Capone, when he is about halfway there Capone's gun runs out of ammo. Nathan figures that he will either switch it out for a new one or quickly reload it. He throws it to the side, so Nathan figures he's pulling out another gun. at this point. Nathan increases flying speed, and gets in front of Capone and slices at him. Capone dodges as a little door opens up in opens up in his stomach.
Suddenly, Capone is stabbed in the back with a katana as Kojika had teleported behind him so that when he dodged would hit her sword. She pushes the sword further in as his Capone's suit starts becoming soaked with blood. " That was pretty good, kid you caught me completely off-guard"
A crazy guy with a long tongue, kind of like that guy Caribou's pulls out gun and prepares to shoot Kojika, but is stopped by Capone. " Vito wait, don't shoot them. they won fair and square. It doesn't look like I'm going to make it through this, so I want ya to do me a favor. Take care of Chiffon and Pez for me. I'm counting on ya." He turns to Nathan, and you young pirate I congratulate you I'm beating me so as such I'm going to give ya something special. Vito give this boy the journal that contains our plans for big mom."
"But why captain?" asks Vito.
"Don't question my orders just follow them. This boy has earned our respect he's a better strategist that I." Capone says as he coughs up blood.
Vito pulls a small book from his pocket and hands it to Nathan as he says " This book contains all of the information we have gathered on big mom over the past couple of years. it also contains our plan on how to deal with her." Nathan takes the journal, and thanks Capone for the information.
Capone coughs up more blood as he says one final thing. " Vito go take Chiffon and Pez, and get them somewhere safely. Tell them I love them. Take the ship and leave Tot- ." and with that Capone takes his last breath.
Kojika pulls her katana, out of Capone as suddenly about 50 more people appear out of nowhere. they were all dressed like the rest of Capone's crew. Nathan figures that they were expelled from Capone's body because his devil fruit ceased functioning.
" boys, let's go. This young man defeated the boss, but he told us not to fight him and gave us a strict orders to protect Chiffon and Pez at all costs."
The crew nods and after a moment or two walk off towards what Nathan only assumed was their ship. Then suddenly sound coming from Capone's suit pocket "purupurupuru". Nathan reaches into Capone's pocket, and pulls out a small Den Den Mushi. the snail phone was ringing, as Nathan answers." Hello may I ask who's calling?"
"Cut the crap Capone I have need of you!" says The Voice on the other end.
"Sorry I think you have the wrong number. I'm not Capone Bege, besides he can't come to the phone right now."
" Are you one of his stupid subordinates?" I said bring me your master!"
"No I don't work for Capone, I killed him."
"Who am I speaking to if Capone is dead?"
"I'm Nathaniel Arystar, captain of the Demon Pirates. "
"Ah, I heard about you in the paper. You're worth 200 million, and the rest of your crew it's worth a total of 400 million. "
" You would be correct, and I assume you are Charlotte Lynn or better known as Big Mom."
"I am, but may I ask you a question? you and your crew are obviously strong, especially if you defeated Capone. how about you join the Big Mom Pirates?"
" Can you give me a moment to discuss it with my crew and then call back?"
"Hahahahaha, very well I'll give you one minute." big mom hangs up.
Nathan turns to his crew and asks." What do you guys say about becoming an ally of big mom temporarily and then we'll execute Capone's plan to take her out?"
"I say we go with it." says Zac. " Because the thing about the new world is there's only two ways to survive. You either work for a yonko or take one out. In this situation we have the option to do both.
"Does everyone else agree? " Nathan asks as the Den Den Mushi Rings again. Everyone nods as Nathan answers.
"So Arystar, are you going to take me up on that offer?"
"Yes, big mom we will."
well then, I see you made the right choice. but in order to make it official you will have to do two things for me. one you will have to do the task I was going to give Capone, to prove your worth. As for the other thing we will discuss that after you prove your worth."
"Very well what is this task you ask of us?"
"I will send Pekoms to your ship on fluff Island and yes I know where you are you docked. his is my territory I know everyone who enters and leaves. Pekoms will fill you in details of your little test."
They return to the ship, and true to her word pekoms comes to the ship. he was a lion mink in a pink suit. He was now explaining the task that Big Mom had for Nathan and the crew. " Have you ever Heard of the Vinsmoke family?"
"Vinsmoke as in Judge Vinsmoke leader of germa 66?" Nathan asks in shock. Nathan just couldn't believe that he was talking about the Vinsmoke family. They were Infamous in the Underworld as Mercenaries with an Unstoppable Army.
"Yes that's the one." Pekoms responds. Mama is currently in the process of making an alliance with the Vinsmoke family, but in order to solidify the alliance, she wants one of Judge's children to marry one of hers. Judge told Mama that he will marry his third son to her daughter. and if you're familiar with the vinsmokes you probably already know he has three sons, Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji. Most people however don't know that he has another son, a pretty famous one at that. You probably know him as Black Leg Sanji, of the Straw Hat Pirates."
Nathan had to do a double-take here. " Wait what, Black Leg Sanji of the straw hat Pirates is a fucking Vinsmoke!?"
"Yes, and as a test to join our ranks, mama wants you to go to Zou and retrieve him. I will go with you as a guide because Zou is my home."
"Very well, Pekoms we will accept this task from Mama." Nathan looks looks around at his crew. "Everyone prepare to set sail. Akane I want you to work with Pekoms so he can help lead you to Zou and Yoko make us some food I'm starving."
Yoko nods and runs below deck to the kitchen. After running up about 5 minutes she comes running back up." Nathan look what I found in the kitchen."
Pekoms pulls his glasses up, and looks at what is in Yoko's hand. It is a pear with strange markings on it. " Girl, do you have any idea what that is?"
"Yeah it's a devil fruit!" Yoko
" Yes but, was that there in your kitchen earlier?
"No, I don't think so."
"OK, do you Know that their can only be one user of a specific devil fruit at any given time. But you know that when a devil fruit user dies his or her power transfers to the nearby fruit. Basically I'm saying there is a chance that fruit is the Shiro Shiro no Mi."
