And I do not own one piece, all the oc's in this fanfic story are of my creation, all canon characters are property of erichio oda.
Wealth!
Fame!
Power!
Gold Rodger the king of the pirates attained this and everything else the world had to offer and his dying words drove countless souls to the seas.
"You want my treasure you can have it, I left everything I gathered together in one place, now you just need to find it."
these words lured men to the grand line in pursuit in dreams greater than they ever dared...
But that isn't the LONE reason so many braved the blues...
(3rd person)
it was a bright summer day with seabirds flying about, nearby is a large ship with a whale figure head floats by a reef, instead of cannon ports it has windows and it has a beige and blue color scheme, on one side is a name painted, THE MARRY ANDROMEDA.
on the deck 2 sailors casually chat while on break
"No Phill, Sora is one of the sons of judge, he rebelled due to him not being brainwashed at birth, he escaped and was saved by the marines."
"Seriously Jeff it's just a comic strip"
Jeff protests "hey just becau-
"Wait look" Phill interrupted as he points into the water, right there floating in the water was a large suspicious barrel.
THE GUY WITH THE METAL MASK AND A DREAM
Abadan E. Lucas
inside the ship's is a normal ballroom, not that fancy, it has standard décor of candelabras and potted plants tables with white tablecloth and standard cutlery, with red padded chairs made of yellow pine (as well as the tables), all the while patron dance to classical music while drinking wine and other drinks found on a passenger ship, the walls a light blue with white trimming and an assortment of tables, the captain is speaking to some concerned passengers.
"don't worry miss we will NOT hit the reef, even if we were the ship will hold"
to the right of him staring out a window is a girl with red hair and red tinted irises, she is wearing a gray ballgown with a red flower pattern on it a pair of normal beige dress shoes, along with blue necklace and earrings,
but before she was able to take a sip from her glass of water a guy in orange ballroom attire approaches her.
"Excuse me miss may you care for a dance?"
"Hmm? oh no thank you, I am bad when it comes to dancing."
"It's ok if you are bad, you can always blame it on sea turbulence."
she shakes her head in disinterest "no it's ok, plus I'm not the only girl aboard." she says while smirking
the guy's face quickly blushes.
back on the deck.
Jeff runs back to the railing and prepares to throw it, but instead of throwing it at the barrel his hand slips and hits a nearby rock.
"Darn it I missed again"
"And that is 100 beli for me, man you suck"
"Wow that's the 5th time in a row, man Jeff you suck!"
a guy from the crow's nest says to a annoyed jeff.
"Man, this is heavy, what's in here, also why does it have extra brakes, and what's with the metal bars?"
"I have no idea Phill and it's the 3rd one this trip, but hey it's ours now let's open it"
the lookout chimes in "not now je-
he stops because something catches this eye
To the north is a small island and coming from behind it is another ship, it was a sloop of war, with its sails and flag bearing the same jolly Rodger, bull skull and crossbones with a brown object that looks like an ingot in its mouth, the ship has a light brown and grey color scheme along with a bull figure head made of metal.
the guy started to sweat madly and screams
"PIRATES INBOUND WE HAVE PIRATES ON THE STARBOARD SIDE".
Jeff and Phill looks up at him, but before they can respond canons shot rang and explosions happen in the water.
they both drop the barrel and run towards the door into the ship.
back in the ballroom 2 sailors burst through the doors "captain we have pirates on our portside!"
the grizzled captain then yells "then what are you waiting for fire the cannons!"
"What do you mean?!" a sailor yells
the ship starts to rock as passengers start to panic, some running away, others hiding, one guy tries to run away with the cake, all the while the scarlet haired girl is just chilling behind a corner.
meanwhile outside the large barrel rolls down the stairs from an opening leading down, all the while the pirate ship pulls up next to the andromeda.
(pov Charlie)
as we pull up towards the vessel called the marry andromeda, I start to panic, I mean we are raiding a passenger ship in broad daylight, the marines will come here, beat us up or drowns us and what is left gets shipped off to prison, by the way I'm Charlie, I'm 6ft orange hair with a red and white striped shirt, blue pants and black shoes, with a brass bracelet, but before I could hide the captain came out.
"BRAAAAAHHAHAHAHAAA (a boisterous laugh ranged out), TODAYS THE DAY BOYS, WE ARE FINNALY GONNA DO SOMETHING!" The large figure pumps his fist into the air in excitement, along with his brass geared companions cheer with him
The captain was a large man (9'6) and made of pure mussel, with black greasy hair matted on his tanned skin along with his short beard, he has on himself solid green pants with a belt and tattered grey tank top with a black bull on it, he has beige boots, also like his crew they all have some sort of brass piece of clothing, pauldrons and gauntlets is what he has, for a weapon he has a bronze double-sided ax.
The first mate with a brass face grill speaks up
"Yeah, I have to agree boss, thanks to those fools in centaurea the navy has increase their presence, I'm surprise it isn't over yet."
"INDEED, NOW BOYS LE-
Suddenly a canon fires, followed by the shattering of glass. We all look over to see that bob (the crazed demolitionist) once again boarded a head of time.
Bob appeared in the now broken window and yells
"BOOOOOOOOOM!" and right on que an ax is hurled above, hitting the foremast, the sound of wood splitting followed by the foremast toppling over
"BOOOOOB! NOT AGAIN, IF YOU INTERUPT ME AGAIN I WIL SKIN YOU ALIVE AND WEAR IT LIKE A HAT!"
Bob quickly disappeared deeper into the ship, after the captain was done yelling that, He then turns to his crew and said crew started sweating a river.
He then says to the entire crew "AM I CLEAR?"
"Yes, yes you are sir!" we all respond,
"OK... CHAAAAARGGGGEEEE!" yelled the captain
The crew scrambled to board the ship, either to finally raid something, or to get away from their crazy captain.
I was going to hide in a barrel but...
"OI!"
The captain yells and I was then grabbed out of the corner I was in by the shirt
"WHERE ARE YOU GOING PIPSQUEAK?" the captain question
"Um uhh... I was just going to get a weapon so I-
"THAT IS NO EXCUSE!" the captain cuts in
Then I was thrown through a wall on the opposite ship, as I groaned in pain as being THROWN THROUGH A WALL, I rolled out of the way as an object came towards me, the object then slammed down where I once was, and it took no guess on what it was.
Inside the ship some of the sailors had weapons and are facing down some of the pirates, one pirate with brass goggles then starts to talk,
"Ok then now-
The patrons interrupted him and started to panic and run away along with the armed sailors.
"darn it, every time, ok you two come with me, some may have splintered off, the rest of you follow that crowd!" the rest of the pirates followed the crowd
The crowd then run into the ballroom; a few sailors are scattered onto the ground with a guy with dual brass blunderbusses strapped onto his arms stand proudly over his work, and behind him is more pirates, mostly sporting a green and grey color scheme dotted with brass object, either on their person or in use as a weapon.
A guy in his early 20s with a grill face plate shouts "what were you thinking, it's a boat for Pete's sake, you can't run on water." the pirates around him started laughing
"CAN IT FOOLS, OK THEN GIVE US THE GOODS OR YOU ALL DIE!"
Down another hallway opposite of the ballroom, the same redhead then goes into a closet and coms out wearing a red Tank top with badge shorts and black boots.
'Well looks like things hit the rudder' she thought as laughter echoes through the halls.
Meanwhile: down another hallway a certain orange hair kid walks into a room,
The room seems to be a kitchen with a cooking station of the left of him as well as a table in front with all kinds of food stuffs, when he went further in, he spotted two interesting things, in the northeastern corner of the room, there was a massive amount of flour containers both empty and full (empty up top full of the bottom), and to the opposite corner a table was knocked over and the reason why was a large barrel. What made it weird was not it's size but the fact that it was reinforced with extra metal bars shutting it close.
'Holy cow I got the motherload of beer kegs, if the captain got this he would forgive me... for another day.'
_cut to the pirate ship and the previously mentioned red head used one of the boarding hooks to get onto the pirate's ship.
She stealthily goes beside the door but before she could move the door opens up, "Ey, who are you?" the pirate asked, as a response the redhead Tries to kicks the guy in the crotch, but the pirate's brass armor leggings cushioned the blow, "ahhh- ohhh thank Neptune I got these pants now th-" he was cut off thanks to a punch in the face from the same redhead with a poker face and then goes into the ship.
(Charlie's pov)
Carp this is heavy, what is in here, well it is a barrel so it has to be booze, I mean no sane individual would be put in a barrel.
But as I push this barrel, I hear an all too familiar voice "ok men *huff* let's take a break in... oh it's runty, stand down boys"
It's Paul Arturo, he is a lengthy guy with brass googles, blue and grey striped shirt and brown shorts with typical footwear of a pirate. He is armed with a cutlass but when walking into the room he puts it away, he is flanked by the twins Jon and john, both wearing head to toe in brass gear, the only exception is the head where half of their bare faces were visible (with contrasting sides open, Jon has is left side covered while john has the opposite).
"Oh hey... I was just hauling this keg of bear up to the boss" a squeamishly said
"Nice" one of the pirates re-orientates the barrel "Chompy caught a guy running away with a big cake, with this beer the boss may calm down" and right on que a angry yell is heard above deck.
"Hey boss?" one of the pirates says "why is this sealed tight with metal bars, is it possible someone can be in here" "no way, if that was the case, he must be dead?" another pirate says
While this conversation was going on Paul went into a back room and grabbed a crowbar
"Stand back boys I got this" Paul then starts to remove the bolts to the bars he removed the 3rd bolt when the ship starts to rock violently knocking the barrel over and it rolled into the stack of flour containers and some of the containers ripped open spilling flour on the barrel.
"Grah!" yelled Paul "darn the captain, what did those fools do to upset him now?"
flashback
"WHAT IS THIS!?" the captain yells while holding a cook's head near a table and gesturing to the silverware
The frighten chef tries to explain "i-it's cutlery to ea-
"I KNOW WHAT IS IT IS KNOW-IT-ALL" points menacingly "BUT WHAT IS IT MADE OUT OF, CAUSE THAT AIN'T BRONZE!?"
A long pause followed, then the chefs says
"Um... nickel?" the chef says scared and confused, after a second or two, the captain's face contorts with anger and then slams the chef through the table and even the floorboards, he slammed him so hard the boat rocked.
He then quickly turns around towards the crowd and his crew who were taking valuables from the guests, in response the previously mentioned people started sweating madly.
"LISTEN UP, OTHER THAN GOLD I DON'T WANT TO SEE ANY OTHER METALS OTHER THAN BRASS!" he leans in closer "GOT THAT!?"
End of flashback
Paul then walks up to the barrels and speaks
"Ok then now it's time to open this sucker up"
But right before he can swing to crowbar to open it up, the barrel the explodes and the metal bars on top get launched into his face knocking him out, then a figure rises out of the following cloud of flour like a mummy, and shouts, "I LIVE!"
As the flour cloud disperses, he looks like he is in his early 20s wearing a baggy white shirt, black shirt underneath a vest overtop his white shirt with leather gloves exposing the fingers, for the lower section he has modest pants with belt and shoes, he also has a cutlass and a pistol, but overtop his head is a metal box like mask that somehow lets the mouth move
"Ok, whoever the dude that threw me in here, he is going to ha-
This person stops and looks around and sees the scene around him, with multiple people mouths agape (in the one-piece style) and staring at him. He then looks down at Paul and asks.
"who's the tunnel eyed angelfish"
The two still conscious prates comically slide next to him eyes bulging (in the one-piece style) and yell simultaneously.
"Who the hell are you!?"
"Coming from the people who are trying to metamorphosize into bronze statues."
"Were wearing brass!"
"Hold up" Jon says while pointing a blade at him "are you joking with us, we are vicious pirates of the bra-
The person ignores them and appears by Charlie
"Hey, tangerine child you know where food is?"
"DO YOU HEAR ME IDIOT!" Jon yells
Then the brothers charge blades bared at the unknown person, Charlie closes his eyes as a clang sound is heard, when he opens them up the twin's blades are broken and the figure is unharmed.
"What is that noise?"
The twins both start screaming and runs out of the kitchen dragging Paul behind them.
"Geeze what is wrong with them?"
"Um sir?" Charlie sheepishly asks, the guy turn to face him "how are you alive?"
He shrugs in response "What! You don't know!?"
"Anyway, where is the food?"
"What you can't, there is about 100 or so pirates a few levels up.
He starts walking while Charlie tries to stop him by pulling on his arm.
"Hey you got a name?"
The guy turns around "yeah; the name is Abadan, Abadan E. Lucas."
author's note: yeah, this chapter is going to be a lot like the first chapter of one piece.
So please give me feedback so I can iron things out later on and any questions I can answer, this is goin to be a long one folks (if I don't forget about it).
