Author note: 13 years ago, I wrote One Piece: Draco's Crew and for the most part, I enjoy creating this story. So, I would like to continue writing the adventure of my ocs. However, after reading the first half of my story.

After banging my head against my desk and take two ibuprofen, I have to make a choice. Either continues the story or I do something that would make me groan, but proud. So, I decided to go with the groan, and proud way, and begin to remaster this series. I also decided to some do minor changes to certain thing to the story.

So, with a happy grin and open heart, I welcome you all to the Remaster version of Draco's Crew.

The Great Escape: All Caged Up

Disclaimer: I own only my ocs.

It was a quiet day on the sea, while a rust bucket of the ship sails on the surface. The marine crew wasn't best of shape, but at least they stand guard over a cage, making sure the prisoner didn't move.
The prisoner had tan skin, long, black hair, and an "X" shape scar on his right cheek. He seems to be on the razor edge of death and life, but the marines didn't seem to care. Instead, they just have to follow the order of their superior, which was no food and a very little water a day.

Just then, the cabin door only for it to come off the hinges, showing a dark skin, well-combed, pink haired man with a scar underneath his right eye. He was wearing a lime pinstripes suit, a blue undershirt, and an iron knuckles, with bolts, on his right hand. He look somewhat drunk, holding a bottle and a glasses, half empty, and move straight for the cage.

"OI!" he said to his men with a drunken smirk, "You guys take a break. I'll watch over Draco."

All the men just stares at him, only to give a nod and went below deck. Once the two were alone, the captain looks down at the Draco, then pours the wine over Draco's face.

He begins to cough loudly and spit out the alcohol, "Gods...that horrible taste..." he spit some more as he raise his head, but bump it against the bars, "How can you drank that stuff, Fullbody?"

The marine just smirks and kick the cage, "Why don't you shut it and listen to my questions."

"Then ask and I'll answer, but make it fast." he answers with a yawn weakly, after his back hit the bars, "I want to finish my nap, before we meet my good buddy.", which Fullbody kick the cage, again.

"First off, what happen to the ship you took from Captain Hina?", the prisoner growls under his breath as stares at the marine ask his questions, "And why were you on that little strip of land?"

Draco didn't answer as he stares at Fullbody, who decide to kick the cage, yet again, then answer his own questions, "Your crew had a mutiny and marooned you on the island." Draco's eyes open widely at Fullbody, then he barrow them at pink hair man, while Fullbody pours a bit of the wine in the glass, "Oh. Did I hit a nerve?"

"I'll just choose my crew much better next time." he mutters under his breath, only for the cage get kick.

"There is no next time for you." Fullbody said as he kicks the cage once more, "Now why not tell me the reason why Smoker hates you so much?"

"I have no clue." Draco replies with a shrug and chuckles lightly, "It might have to do with me knocking over his rock balancing hobby, when we first met. Starting a riot during my stay. Possible I escape during his watch. Or maybe I destroy his bike."

"One last question." the marine said as he took a sip of his wine, "What were you after on the sea? Treasure? Fame? Power?"

"None of those." he answers as shut his eyes and smirks, with a hint of evil, "I did it for vengeance."

The lieutenant stares at the man, thinking his trouble, but something shiny caught his eyes. "What do we have here?" he said as he stick his hand through the bars and grab a hold of a silver locket around Draco's neck.

However, that was a mistake as the prisoner quickly grabs his wrist, then growls like a wild animal, "I though you said the last question was the final one.", then he squeeze down, causing a great deal of pain.

"It was." the marine groans in pain, only for him to used his metal wrapped and pound the cage as hard as he can, causing the cage to shake, making Draco hit the bars hard and letting go of the wrist.

"Damn you!" Draco groans as he glares at the marine, who was looking at the silver jewelry.

"I didn't thought you would be the kind of person, who would wears a locker, Draco." the drunken marine said as he stares at it and smirks, "I wonder how much it would get for selling it."

You do that, I'll hunt you down and rips out your tongue. he thought to himself, then he glance above them, noticing a brightly color bird flying above.

"Or maybe I'll give it to Moodie. She may take me back." Fullbody thought as he turns and stares down at the dark hair man, "Thanks for the trinket.", then he turns around, heading toward cabin.

"I'll get it back" Draco mutters as he watches the lieutenant, then return to the sky, blinking twice at the parrot, which just landed on the main mass and nods.

Once Fullbody lift, the bird whistle, after he start to groom his reddish feathers, and Draco whistle back, while the marines return to their post, which lay back down and goes back to sleep.

~flashback~

"Long time no see, Malchior." said a dark figure blocking a twin yanmaodao with two shirasaya, then simple push back, causing Draco to lose his footing, then quickly block with his swords, before his shoulders get slash.

"Not long enough, snake breath!" he answers as he tries to push the blades, only to get kick in the forehead.

"I see your swordsmanship have somewhat improved," the figure said as he keep the pressure on Draco's swords, causing them to chip and crack, "but not by much."

"Gods, you're such an annoying ass." Draco growls as he finally push the blades back and was about to slash across the figure's chest, but his yanmaodao shatters into pieces, thanks to a sound of a bullet piercing them. The two sharp pain cuts into his back, cause fall over and growls in pain, only to get kick in the face.

"I thought you would figure this out by now." he said as he slams a pair of cuffs, and cuffing the swordsman down, "You should only trust yourself, money, and power."

"Y-you two...betray me?" he growls as the dark hair man stares at the three, "Why?"

"Cause he let us do what we want." said a female voice and smirks down a him as the sound of high heels was moving toward him, "Unlike yourself."

"Yes." said a male voice as the sounds of dipping water coming closer, "And I do hope we can find a cruise ship."

"You sure do love to watch the passengers drown as they try to swim up."

"I'm not going to let yo-" he was cut off and knock out thanks to boot.

"Sorry about that that." said a figure as the sound of metal slides into wood was heard, "Malchiors are normally a mouthy bunch."

~the next day~

Draco feels something tickling his nose, which he just brush it off, then in his semi-sleep state, he blush it off, only this time, it was his cheek. "Give me f-five more...zzz.." he was back to sleep, but that didn't last long, when something hard hit his forehead.

"Dammit, Jack!" he roars out as he shot up and was about to reach up, grabbing at the bird, but then his eyes widen, finding the cuff, only to look around, finding himself on stripe of land. He then quickly looks around, finding no ship or crew members.

"Let me guess." he groans out as he set down and glance at a hilt of one of his broken yanmaodao, finding a red macaw, "It wasn't a nightmare."

~end flashback~

Draco opens his eyes in a cold sweat and set up, only for a set of keys fall from above. "Thank you, Jack." he said as he grabs the keys and begins to undo them, hating the fact that Hina had seastones cuffs on her ship.

Once the cuff was off, he quickly took off his filthy, raggy shirt and wraps it around his left hand, only to pick up the cuff. He looks around his cage, noticing that all of marines that were guarding him, were fast asleep, which was the perfect time to lose said cuff.

Once they fly out of the bars of his cage and hit the ocean. Draco then put his shirt back on, as a pair of cuff drops from above, only to reach and put them on, then made a soft whistle. A second later, a red parrot slide through the bar, and calmly walks up to the keys.

"Thanks, Jack." Draco said as the pick up the key with his beak and slide through the bars, only to take to the air. He then lay back, looking at the night sky, thinking to himself, This isn't the end., only to shut his eyes and yawn, Just the beginning.
