Chapter twelve: It's fly or die, mister.
"Let's corner that hoodlum on the roof! After him, men!" The head of guards roared his orders while chasing down the thief - taking two steps at a time. All the turns on the spiral staircase made him sick. His vision was blurry and spinning, but he refused to give up. He was just a hair away from getting hold of that fiend's cloak for about ten minutes now, but he had yet to touch it. Just how fast was this little fucker? Did he have wings on his feet or what? "Oh, crap!" he cursed as he slipped on the wet stone, luckily grabbing the narrow walls in the last second, stabilizing himself."I swear I had just looked death in the eyes."
A mocking shishishis~ echoed through the tower, sounding quite far away already but still as annoying. "I won't let you ridicule me like that you little shit! Get back here!" he shouted, his lungs burning, and started running up again.
*SLAM
Both the criminal and his pursuer busted out the door to the roof patio, breathing hard, letting the warm sweat dampen their eyebrows and run down their reddened cheeks. "Woohoo, that was good! Shishishi~,... It reminds me the good old times!" the intruder snickered and turned around to face the exhausted black-haired man in striped suit, who was wheezing and just barely standing without wobbling too much."Yo! What's your name? I didn't catch it earlier! Nobody gave me such a good run for my money since Smokey hahaha..."
'Old times? Smokey?...What the heck is he talking about? Crazy bastard.' the man thought as he looked the shadowy figure up and down - the kid wasn't breathing heavily anymore, like he still did, and stood his ground confidently. His small lean body trembled, yet the captain couldn't find one trace that would indicate nervousness or fear in his stance. On the contrary - he seemed weirdly excited.
The stranger cracked his fingers and neck, seemingly bored of not getting the answer even after a minute of awkward silence.
"Oi, I'm talking to you old man! Are you deaf or something?"
The man shook off his curious thoughts and puffed out his chest.
"Why should I tell you, scoundrel?!" he shouted and gestured to his men to surround him. The boy started to slowly back away until he hit the wooden railing behind him, still obviously unconcerned - which was ironically higly concerning from the guard's view. "Give yourself up, Wraith! You have nowhere to go!"
"Binkuso no sake wo, todoke ni...hmm hmm~"
Wraith hopped up at the balustrade and started balancing on it, humming a cheerful pirate song, ever so carefree. "Why should I listen to you?" he scoffed in disadain. Just a mere thought of letting anything to control his life again aside from himself made him want to go berserk. "And anyway, you bastards think you got me trapped, but there's still a way for me to escape y'know, dumbasses." he huffed as if not believing their enormous stupidity and swayed on his heels playfully.
"A way to escape?" one soldier in the front jeered "How? You grow wings and fly off from here to neverland or what?"
"Hmmmm,...I just might actually. Good idea, Jerk A." Luffy said casually, gave him thumbs up and smirked.
"Wha-! JERK A?! " the soldier spluttered, taken aback by the thief's devil-may-care attitude.
"MY NAME IS JEREMY DAMMIT! Why does no one ever remember that! You insolent-!"
"Stay down, Jessie!" the captain motioned with his hand for the guy and the rest of the squad to stop. "I got this." he said firmly as he adjusted the black leather gloves on his cold hands and started walking towards the laid-back criminal.
"It's Jeremy..." The pitiful man sobbed out quietly and others around him patted his back to comfort him.
"I have never believed in ghosts and magical shit like that... It's all just a crazy talk and legends, never any proofs. How are you any different? I see no bloodthirsty creature called 'Thieving Wraith of Goa' here of which the whole city is whispereing about for the last month. Just a little brat, too fast on his midget legs for adults to catch and too fucking cheeky with his sharp tongue."
"Legends aren't born overnight zebra-ossan, but yeah, I ain't some spirit of your dead mother who came back to spook you and nag you about your awful fashion sense, sorry. I mean look at that jacket." Luffy mocked him while apologizing without ounce of honesty in his words with finger up his nose. "I don't know much about fashion myself though."
In the last five years, Luffy became more sceptical, paranoid, and surprisingly pretty sarcastic to boot. Sometimes even Law didn't have a good comeback to Luffy's snarky comments, and that says something because not everyone can beat the well-known edge lord Trafalgar Law on his playground. Not that Law would ever admit it, he would always just shrugged it off and say that he is too tired of the strawhat's antics.
'Tch, sore loser, that Traffy.' he though and cracked a smile delicate smile.
The words just flew to Luffy's mind naturally. And as everyone knows, Luffy tends to say what is on his mind.
"Pffff-" the guards suppressed their laugh, not wanting to wake up the next day with any of their limbs missing.
"Quiet!" The captain shouted, beat-red from the comment and all the men shut up instantly, then he turned back to the smirking criminal. "The smartest thing now would be to surrender yourself and give back what you stole." The captain scoffed and pointed at the bag with gold. "Hand it over and maybe my masters will spare you."
"Give up?! Spare me?! Cheh, what a joke! And here I thought I was supposed to be the funny one here." the boy sneered, sat down on the balustrade, pulling his right knee near to his face while letting the other leg sway freely. "Don't be so stingy Zebra-ossan, I hate people who order me around y'know..." he muttered under his breath, sweetly smiling, tilting his head and fixing his piercing gaze onto the man that piqued his interest."... or those who make me wait for more than they really have to." he hissed, scowling, his eyes narrowing and stabbing into the poor man like the freshly sharpened knives.
The man watched as the criminal's black cloak fluttered gracefully in the cold wind - it was going to be winter soon, the season of celebration of birth and demise. Aside from nobles, everyone hated this time of the year - no food, no warmth, death following you on every step... People have to fight for their lives. Every fucking year it's the same thing. The desperate ones steal and kill, the weak give up and die by their own hand and the unlucky ones end up being murdered or abducted and never heard of again...
'And yet this guy... This despicable thief... Doesn't have the aura of a pathetic desperate loser around him.'
What a strange person this burglar was, not your everyday clumsy amateur or some cocky weakling. Well, cocky he was, but definitely not an amateur or an weakling - that's for sure, at least after what he saw.
Although his face was concealed by his hood, two red orbs glowed dangerously from beneath its shadow. Hungry, intimidating... And now they were focused solely on him and him alone. They glinted with intense curiosity - as if analysing their next cowering prey.
"So?" Luffy inquired again, giving the man one last chance and straightened his back. "Are you going to answer me or-"
"What the fuck are you playin' at, brat, eh?"
Luffy's eyes swiftly flickered towards some random guard five meters away from him. He was pretty close. He had relaxed shoulders, a gun pointed at him and arrogant leer playing on his lips.
'Jerk B spotted.' Luffy thought and smirked sinisterly.'I wonder what face that idiotic brat would make if he knew who he was pointing that weak-ass handgun at.''
"Are you sure about that?" The thief stated with calm unwavering voice, never losing his composure while pointing at the weapon that guy was aiming at him.
"About what? A bullet blasting your brain that was fired from my darlin'? Yeah."
"I ask you again. Are - you - sure - about - that?" Luffy repented slowly and even more menacingly.
"Haaa? Is this about you being a little kid? What makes you think I won't shoot a child? Wehehe guys, Let's have some fun with him after we captured him!" he laughed, licking his lips as if already tasting the boy's skin on his tongue. A few other men around him roared with agreement and eagerly readied their weapons, while their captain scoffed at the perverted guy, disgusted and disapproving.
"I was asking you sicko, if you know what you are doing right now. Pointing that at me." Luffy addressed the problem in question, a large grin splitting his face. "Are you prepared to die for willing to kill?"
The guy just laughed at Luffy's obvious threat and ignored the warning gleam in the Wraith's glare.
"Yea, yea...ya hear his voice, boys? I bet it sounds even better when I will be plunging my d-!"
"Then don't mind me." Strawhat's face turned devious - twisted smirk, bloody red eyes glowing even more brightly as he pulled out his shining golden chakram and threw it, targeting the pervert's arm, the one he was holding his gun in.
*SWIIIIISH
*SLICE
"AAAAAGHHHHH!"
"Jackie!" his friends called out to him as he was shrieking in pain.
"John! James! Where is the first aid kit?!" they screamed, panicking around him.
"I have it! Tsk, Get out of way your fat ass Jennifer. Oiii I have it!"
'What a crybabies. Shank's didn't even blink when his arm was torn off... Wait...' Luffy blinked in confusion. 'Are all of their names start with a J? The fuck? I don't even blame the guy for not remembering.'
The chakram sliced the guy's hand clean off and returned to its owner as a boomerang would, who caught it back with ease and started twirling with it around his haki-covered finger.
"The name ossan." He asked again authoritatively as if he just a second ago didn't nonchalantly slice the arm of his subordinate off. The pervert was clutching his bleeding shoulder, writhing in agony on the ground.The stranger paid him no mind, still waiting for the captain to speak up.
'Come back clumsy amateurs and cocky weaklings, I don't want to deal with some batshit crazy brat!' the captain stumbled back in surprise.
The old man gulped. No, he wasn't scared and most certainly his hands and knees weren't shaking from the thief's piercing gaze right now. It was the cold, okay?... But what was this strange pressure? It felt like someone was sitting on his shoulders, telling him to kneel down and pray for his life. Pray, follow and worship the king. The one that stands above all.
"You sure aren't some sissy, huh brat?" he huffed out with a bitter laugh, trying no to clatter his teeth.
He dared to look up, into the Wraith's eyes. The thief was slowly walking towards him with his hands clasped behind his back as his subordinates were falling down one after one to the ground, uncouncious and with a foam around their mouths. This kid was doing this?
'What a terryfing child... If this is a child and not an outright nightmare... I guess I have no choice.'
"It-it's Renetto. Dalzell Renetto..." he stuttered out, slowly sinking down. He was the only one left at least somewhat standing. Others were on their knees cowering, staring into the stone ground, not daring to look up at the menacing intruder or down right curled up into the balls, muttering prayers and whispering goodbyes to their loved ones or straight up uncouncious. The pressure eased up a bit, but not disappearing entirely. Renetto was staring into the Wraith's eyes the whole time, not able to tear his gaze away from his. Something in the stranger's eyes softened and he laughed again. He came close enough to reach out and pull Renetto back to his feet.
"Yaaaaah...Shi Shi Shi Shi. I see I see... Netto-ossan then. You are a good guy." he smiled and looked around, frowning "The only one here." The thief declared, his stare again hardening, directed at the other soldiers, who were laying knocked out on the floor. "Nobody came to help her when she screamed. Only you, so thank you for taking care of her...and please... continue to look out for her, she needs it more than anyone here." he beamed at Renetto, taking off his hood for a moment and flashing him big toothy genuine smile.
'He looks so kind and so innocent, almost angelic...' Renetto stared at the grinning child.
"Wh- I-... She-" shocked Netto tried to say something coherent, but failed, only managing to nod in the end.
"Shi Shi Shi, I wonder... Why do you care about her while they don't?" he mused, pointing with his thumb at the unmoving bodies of the elite guards. "Is there some reason for it?"
Renetto stayed quiet for a while, silencing distracting thoughts and questions swirling in his head. "I have a daughter..." he started carefully "She's still but a small girl, but so much more brave and stronger than I am." Luffy stayed quiet as Renetto sniffled and waited for him to continue "My princess... I love her deeply you know, but... but I can't afford to give her the life she truly deserves..." he whispered, running his fingers through his sweat-soaked hair. "That's why I work here...to get some money and take her back from the prison where she was put for stealing a bread..." his eyes watered, feeling the guilt taking over again "just because I, her father wasn't able to feed her... She..." his voice broke and wasn't able to continue anymore as he cried and gasped for air.
"It's not your fault Netto-ossan, the world is just that screwed up. That's why I am here..."
'That's why I came back...' he added in his mind.
"I'm going to change it, Netto ossan...I swear I will." Luffy growled, tightening his grip on the sack with gold.
"You..." Renetto's eyes widened as he looked at the boy with a devil and an angel inside of him with disbelief and sheer amazement
"What is her name?" Luffy asked after a minute of utter heavy silence.
The man smiled sadly.
"Alvi-chan. My one and only daughter. Sweetest thing in the world." he choked out between the sobs, still trying to smile as he closed his eyes, remembering her light soft laugh, melodic, joyful and innocent. It was a music to a depressed over-worked old man's ears. "In the end, it turned out that,... that bread was for me... She stole it to feed me..."
He broke down, crying out loud, bitter tears wetting his uniforom that he hated so much. Why does he have to work for these cruel people? Why does he have to witness the girl's everyday suffering? Why does she have to suffer? Is his daughter suffering too, just as she is?
"I will remember that name." he said to the sniffling man and hopped up on the railing. "Ototo haha, that was close." he giggled and balanced on it with his arms spread.
"I'm also trying to get money to help out someone in need. Either I steal enough money in a few week's time or her mother will be pushing up daisies by then." he hissed in annoyance "I can't save her from all of her suffering, because I'm still to weak for that, but I can lessen her burden. I promised myself to do so." he said, emitting determination with each word. "If I don't do this, she will break..." he whispered.
He was serious. He meant his every word. Renetto onrw this and yet...
'This world... sucks... So unfair.'
'Thsi child also...'
'What am I supposed to do?'
Renetto kept his head down, unable to decide what to do. Does he capture the Wraith or risk his position and everything he has worked for to ensure his daughter's well-being?
Luffy was patiently waiting for Renetto's verdict.
A flash of red splattered across the floor and high voice cut through his mind.
He can't lose her too...
"I see..." The man croaked out and stood up, pointing a gun to the stranger's head. "So you are in the same situation... I'm so sorry, but my daughter..." he sobbed, still trying to aiming with his trembling hand.
"Good. Not everyone has such a determination to protect their beloved ones. Most of other people would ran and let me go immediately after what I made their subordinates crawl on the ground." he smiled and nodded approvingly. "As I though, Netto-ossan is really nice guy."
"No... I am not. Don't you understand? I am being selfish here! If I wasn't such an useless dad...If I..." he shook his head "I can't let you go. Please... Give up... I don't want to shoot you..."
The kid sighed and gave him a small sad smile. His gaze was still fiery, the desire for freedom blazing ever so powerfully, evident just like the sympathy directed on the man, but not a speck of pity.
"I must go, but I can promise you... " he scoweled and prepared himself to jump. " That I WILL remember you and your daughter... I won't forget... I will kick the world's ass and shape it to my liking. I'll shape it into a place where people don't need to fear living another day, place where everyone is able to chase their dreams... " he said and jumped into the air.
"Wait! You'll die from this height! " Netto screamed in fear, throwing the gun away, already stretching his hand to catch the falling boy, but missing.
'I was too slow...'
He fell to his knees, crushed. He should've just let him go. He killed him... Another child had to suffer because he wasn't decisive enough... No... Because he was such a coward!
*SWISH
A sharp gust of wind hit him into his wet, grief-stricken face. The trails from tears stinged on the cold air.
A shadowed shape elegantly swirled up and flapped its white snowy wings. A soft white feather fell on his face, tickling his nose and making him sneeze.
"A-...A-...Atchoo!"
"Shishishi what's up, you're looking like someone just died!"
Stunned beyond belief he admired the mysterious being in the sky.
'the kid...'
Luffy flapped his snow-white wings cheerfuly, adjusted his dazzling golden halo and smiled, half-closing his shimmering iridescent eyes, that were deep as the universe itself - full of mysteries and boundless...infinete... A strange mystical glow engulfed his petite body, as if protecting him. He looked terrifyingly beautiful. Cold yet warm. Far, yet near. Renetto didn't know what he was looking at. Was it even real?
To feel free... is the best thing in the world, and flying can make you feel so even more. The chilly air hitting your face as you break through the clouds. The thrilling feeling of free fall. The scenery of blue surface of the sea full of life beneath you...If Luffy could, he would fly from dusk to dawn and back, even try to reach the distant shining stars hanged in the far dark sky ...Luffy just simply loved everything about flying. It gave the word exploring a new meaning.
"What... are you...?"
He giggled mischievously, closing his eyes while his wings turned inky black as if someone painted them bit by bit with a brush soaked in watercolor. A blinding light surrounded his body and in a Flash was gone.
His whole image changed. Instead of unruly black curls and halo, he could now boast with a silvery white hair and two small yet pointy black horns growing out of his head. And as he opened his eyes... they too were different, instead of deep universe, there you could see the depths of hell. Bloody red. Intimidating, sinister and ignited with passion.
"... The angel... The devil...The hero... The villian... Or nothing like that at all... You decide that for yourself..." he chuckled at the Renetto's funny face and circled above him "I guess my next target is a prison then! Shishishi~ See ya later old man!" The thief said his goodbyes and flew into the morning mist that fallen on the city.
"... I wonder, if that means I'm going to see my daughter soon..." the man smiled, hope filling him again as he turned to his uncouncious subordinates, trying to shake them awake. Little did he and Luffy know, that they weren't the only ones awake during their small conversation...
The storm was coming.
...
The waves rolled lazily towards the Goa's shore. Tonight the sea was serene, hushed, as if trying to prick its ears to hear the mysterious calls of the sirens.
Porchemy sighed, gulping down an old rum. He was starved, all bruised up and sore from the last work that boss threw at him. If could, he would ran away, but he had his hands bound.
'If it wasn't for him I swear I would be long...!' he silently raged in his mind, clenching his fist and hitting the railing. He was near the shore already, so he picked up the anchor with loud huff.'Why do I even care...-!!!!'
"So how did the raid on Airuwo island go, Porchemy? The captn' sure trusts you a lot, huh? Hehe..." a certain fellow cackled, prodding his comrade's side with his elbow. "So how big is the loot this time? Tell me Porch! Na? Na?"
"Wah! How the fuck did you got here?! I ain't even at the port yet!"
"Oh, you know maaagiiiic~" the boy snickered and hit Porchemy playfully on the biceps. "So?! Tell meee!"
"Geez, Kenny! You scared the shit out of me and stop whining dammit!" Porchemy shouted, heavy anchor slipping from his fingers in the process and falling with a loud thud on his toes. "FUCK!"
"WAHAHAHAHA...!" The fellow pirate bursted out laughing and rolled around the deck like a madman he was. "*wheeze...y-you are so funny Porch, never change man!" he gasped out, still gasping his stomach that hurt from the laughing.
"Argh, shut the fuck up and at least let me dock the Batako properly." Porchemy barked at his annoying friend and lowered the anchor. He sighed again, wiping the acrid sweat from his forehead and hopped across the railing down on the ground. "There were only three small poor villages on the island. The loot would be bigger if the marines didn't get in the way though... I don't think captain will be satisfied with the amount." The pirate grumbled and started walking towards their hideout, not even waiting for Kenny to follow.
"Oh. Well..., let's pray that Bluejam is in a good mood today then. I haven't seen him today yet, so I dunno." Kenny shrugged and caught up to Porchemy who was frowning so much that his friend was wondering if this expression will be stuck on his face from now on forever. Kenny was worried, Bluejam was really a cruel guy and he didn't take well these kinds of things. Just yesterday he shoot a guy for buying one more bottle of milk than he instucted him to, but oh well, he was just a lower rank and a newbie, he surely won't kill off Porchemy like that, but the punishment is going to painful, fuck.
'Now that I think about it, I'm too a low rank, but at least I'm here longer than that poor man was'
"Oi. Porch... Don't worry... Maybe it won't be that bad... Maybe the loot is bigger than you think and you just suck at math, cheer up!" he tried to comfort his friend and smiled.
"Yea right, that's rich coming from you, you dickhead." Porchemy mumbled with a slight smile on his lips.This little friend of his always knew how to made him feel better. Who would've known that sixteen years old boy could be wiser than a grown man scarred in multiple battles, seriously, kids these days are full of surprises. He was about to say something, but someone ran into him. "Oof!"
*BAM
"Oh! Sorry! Gotta go!"
"What the?! What motherfucker just-!?!" Porchemy yelled, pricking himself up from the dusty ground.
"Wow. That's him huh?" Kenny hummed and observed the small back of a hooded person sprinting across the Gray Terminal with a bag slinged over his shoulder.
"Who?" The other pirate wondered. "What did I miss when I was away?"
"Well, a new criminal emerged. The thieving wraith of Goa...a rogue that manages to escape everytime no matter the circumstances he finds himself in. He just always disappears with a snap of your fingers. It's as if he was never there... As if he had never existed..., only the missing property serves as a proof he actually was there - that's why people call him the Wraith." Kenny blabbered with a shining eyes, obviously impressed by the thief's work. "He became famous reeeaaal quick in the last month. Only things we know about him is that he has scary eyes and people faint from the fear when they looked at them."
"Yeah, right. Sounds pretty dumb to me, but whatever. Let's go, I don't want to be late to my reward" Porchemy sneered and started walking again, but he stopped when Kenny tugged on his pants.
"What?..."
"Hey Porch I got an awesome idea!"
"No."
"Even if it meant not recieving the punishment?"
"Hmm.. Continue." Porchemy ordered, now interested in the little devil's idea. But Kenny stayed silent.
"So? I am waiting... What now? Is this another of your masterful plans that end up in me being nearly killed twice over or what?"
"Aww, don't be like that now... I was just thinking how to say do this... Hey, you saw the bag he had and heard the clinking right?"
"Yeah... And?"
"It's gold I tell you, must be."
"You're not suggesting that we...?"
"Hell yeah! That's exactly what I'm doing!Let's follow him and steal it for ourselves. Then the the boss will be satisfied and you not dead, great ain't it?"
"You are a genius Kenny! And as much as I am weirded out by the fact you actually said something smart for once..."
"Hey!"
"...I'm buying you cola next time." Porchemy snickered and ruffled Kenny's brown soft hair with a semblence of a fond smile playing on his lips.
"Hehe... Okay!"
"Let's go, so we don't lose him!" he shouted out, already running.
"Hey wait up!"
...
They chased him fo an entire hour now while avoiding the trash in the Gray Terminal and sticky vine traps and thorn bushes in the jungle. In the end, they lost him in the darkness of the night. Breathless they both slumped at the nearest tree, gasping for a fresh air.
"Well, that did *huff didn't go so well... That shortie is fast as fuck..." Kenny rasped out, frowning that he disappointed his friend. "Sorry, I should've known that..."
"Shh!" Porchemy hushed him quickly.
"What? I don't he-"
"Shhhhhh! Listen." Porchemy bit out and pointed into branches of a large tree. Two little silhouette sat there, almost blending into a shadow of the massive tree.
"... - ve, Yeah right..."
"... Better save than so-..."
'Voices?'
Kenny and Porchemy stayed absolutely silent, not letting their guard up. There was someone up in the tree and there was a High possibility of being it the Wraith, so they just sat back and listened carefully, trying to pick out on the conversation between the two strangers.
"Uff... That was the last one. Do you even comprehense how lucky we are? If I hadn't have heard that call, who knows what would happen to our secret stash! I told ya that kid was dangerous and yet you didn't listen to me and my instincts!"
"Yea yea, you and your instincts... Hey, we moved it, it's alright now, he or anyone else will find it here so rest easy, buddy." Sabo patted his friend on the head as if he was comforting a child throwing a tantrum. "But I still think you must've misunderstood something."
"Don't patronize me asshole! He could' ve steal our treasure! Don't you get it!" Ace stood up and yelled at the blonde.
"Hey hey, calm down or your shrieking will bring people here."
"Hmph." Ace pouted and sat down again.
Sabo chuckled ať his face as he cleaned his goggles. Ace frowned. He wasn't making things up. There really was something off about that kid. They stalked him after the call for a whole week, but couldn't find a proof of anything suspicious.
"I know you are worried. Scared even." Sabo started, closing his eyes. Ace turned to him and scowled even more." I know you are... Feeling like this because our dream is being threatened... but, You are really... probably just being paranoid Ace. We already talked about this. This kid isn't dangerous. And if he tried anything..." he smirked and slashed with his thumb across his neck."... Then we beat him up and throw him to crocodiles."
"Haha...I guess you right, maybe after we feed them they will grow more fat and delicious." Ace cracked a smile and laughed.
"Agh, seriously, all you think about is food."
"Blame the shitty gramps."
"hahaha, that's true... Anyway, we should go to sleep. Let's call it a day." Sabo announced and dusted off his clothes. "Good night, Acey~"
"SHAT YAR TRAP SABO!"
"WAHAHAHA!" Sabo laughed as he disappeared into the night. Ace huffed at his pettiness and raced home himself.
...
Few minutes after they knew the air was clear.
"You heard them? Ace and Sabo...famous muggers and here is their secret stash! This is a jackpot!!" Kenny gushed, already imagining swimming in the berries.
"Yeah, I bet it's even more than what would we get from catching that Wraith bastard."
"Ah. Absolutely."
"There must be tons of it!" Kenny jumped up and down excitedly.
"Damn right. Let's go, we need to be quick." Porchemy grinned and rubbed his hands in anticipation.
"Ryoukai!"
AAAND here you go, enjoyed the chapter? Excited for the next part? So am I! This was a blast to write and I bet it will be even bigger the next chapter.
