eventually, we arrived at cocoyashi village and I set down as Luffy, Sanji, and zorro jumped out of the boat with gin. I had informed the group about the seven warlords on the way and we met up with an injured ussop and the bounty hunters.
"geez ussop what happened and I thought Kayla was going to watch over you," I asked raising my eyebrow.
"she's with nami's sister the patch job was done by a guy who's been staying here for the past three months." said ussop as a familiar face walked in and I went wide-eyed.
it was Kiryu sento.
"well-finding katsuragi is useless now and if he is here then that means things are a lot more dangerous than we thought," I said sighing as I inwardly cursed evolto.
"why would finding katsuragi be useless now" asked Luffy confused.
"because if my 'inherited' memories from my dad are right evolto cannot only erase memories but also alter the looks of someone. Kiryu sento here is Takumi katsuragi his death is likely been faked and evolto switched his looks with the person who did end up dead" I said deadpan as sento looked surprised.
"how in the world do you know if that's real," asked sento narrowing his eyes.
"besides the fact I'm the reincarnation of someone who saw your journey in a completely different world as a tv show I ended up the nephew of an extraterrestrial who made mars lifeless. luckily like my 'cousin' ryuga banjou, I'm more on humanity's side than evolto's, and before you ask it's both that due to me being half-alien and that I'm a reincarnation that I do have inherited memories that pop up time to time plus my past life's knowledge. evolto is a bastard though since he put a hole into my body just to make two bottles now even with me using the fox bottle he left behind after taking the other one my powers are at half strength. carrot is going to yell my ear off when I call her later to talk about that" I said sighing.
since my torso was still bandaged up and I had a visible scar under them that was certainly the truth.
"wait you related to my new assistant?" asked sento as ryuga entered looking confused as he could have sworn he heard his name called.
"Someone call my name?" asked ryuga blinking as he looked at the rest of us.
"long story short I'm your cousin james McCann. and trust me ryuga our relatives are not what we would consider family" I said wincing at the phantom pain in my chest.
"What happened to you," asked ryuga noting the bandages and scar.
"your 'dad' put a hole in my torso and took the nebula gas my body produces to make two bottles one that's my power and the other a medium he uses with his driver. is Kasumi around cause the fact you guys are here might mean we have a way to heal her" I said as I pulled out the doctor's full bottle.
"yeah my fiancee is with her cousin nami," said ryuga.
"huh small world we are here to help her free this place from arlong and make sure she can reach her dream" I noted as well nami is one of our friends so this worked out.
"Why do you have full bottles," asked sento wide-eyed.
"one of the first things that started my journey was that I knew how to make empty bottles I could purify smash bottles into full bottles or just get nebula gas off objects and people to form full bottles. I pretty much have copies of rabbit and tank for example. I got my driver too so consider me a fellow Kamen rider. now let's go see Kasumi and nami" I said tossing the doctor bottle to ussop. he shook it and felt the bottle heal him as he got up.
"doctor has regenerative properties so it should help Kasumi with her illness," I said as ussop removed his bandages.
arriving at nami's home where nami and Kayla were talking with Kasumi we explained what we could do for Kasumi as I handed her doctor's bottle.
"so I just shake this and ill be cured?" asked Kasumi.
"yep, you're going to marry my cousin so it's the least I can do for family. you're taking the fact I and ryuga are half-alien surprisingly well" I said glad we managed to get to her before evolt and gentoku turned her into a smash.
"it certainly explains a lot about his durability and not to mention he is ryuga him being half-alien doesn't matter he is the man I love with the heart of gold," said Kasumi as she shook the bottle feeling herself becoming better.
"so you're going to be my cousin-in-law james... I honestly did not expect that at all" said nami.
"well before we can go take out arlong we need to take care of the corrupt marines arlong tipped off to where you hid your money so you will stay in his debt making sure you can't buy back the island" I pointed out making nami furious.
"he did WHAT!" nami said pissed.
needless to say with zorro putting those Marines in their place and me asking Luffy to call his grandpa to pick up the scum well the rat-like marine paled as Garp answered and was brought up to speed on what was going on in the east blue.
"how in the world do you know admiral Garp," asked the beaten marine confused.
"seriously am I the only one who put together that Luffy is Garp's grandson by name alone my captain's last name is monkey after all," I said deadpan.
"well, when you put it like that just how did no one make that connection," zorro said as everyone blinked at that revelation.
"that said now we better get going to beat arlong. his time being a tyrant is going to be long over when we are done with him" I said as I pulled out my driver and my apparent personal bottles. once I became Kamen rider union with sento becoming build we rushed to arlong park to confront the Fishman pirate.
I did grab the dragon bottle from Kasumi and handed it to ryuga though so he can try and raise his hazard level. Needless to say, the Fishman pirates didn't stand a chance from two riders and their allies including a pissed-off Nami who scared arlong with her fury.
Needless to say, I got octopus and shark from the Fishman pirates as I got sento, ryuga, Kasumi and misora onto the merry so we could head off. Still, I did call my fiance who did yell my ear off that I had to use the doctor bottle to repair the eardrum well let's just say carrot had finished her training and will meet us at the reverse mountain to officially join the crew... And make sure I'm all right. Still having conquered all of the east blues when we got the bounties well everyone got surprised when Luffy's bounty had him listed as Strawhat 'east king' monkey d Luffy with a very large bounty for the first time bounty. Every island in east blue was flying the Strawhat colors and had trained a militia to be able to handle any pirates and corrupt marines that try to enter transforming the region into a Kingdom in its own right. And they elected Luffy himself as the king after the east blue spread his heroic actions despite being a pirate.
Luckily we had denden mushis to talk with the various isles which allowed Luffy to run the kingdom from the merry while we helped him run the various isles as his crew.
Especially the paperwork as sento was appointed the western kingdom's lead researcher and I found my bounty poster.
"Guess evolt knew better than to let loose my actual looks and name though he did tell the government about my forms so they updated the picture to include them all so far that he knows," I said sighing as well my bounty was half of Luffy's bounty at six thousand berries. my poster was of rabbit tank and hawk gattling side by side.
"Still what now," asked sento as the build group was looking over my full bottles.
"Next up is lougue town we need supplies," I said having checked and well zorro needs a pair of swords and we needed supplies to repair the ship. Plus so I can make gin his driver. And adapter.
