Chapter 9: The Boy Who Cried Pirates!
2 days after leaving Luminous Island, the crew is sailing once again to wherever the boat takes them.
"Come on, Henry. You can do it!" Seth cheered Henry as the others (Luffy, Zoro, Hoopa) including Darkrai, who's now named Tsukuyomi by Seth, and Vulpix, who also named Snowy by Nami, are now watching Henry start a conversation with Nami in hopes of curing the Balloon Pokémon's gynophobia. Snowy is sitting besides Nami, who is again holding onto the egg case.
"Um...easy said than done, Seth. The little guy's really afraid of me." Nami said.
"Maybe. But if he can't interact with other girls like you now, then when?" Seth asked with folding arms.
"Good point." Nami said before looking towards Henry, who's trying so hard not to freak out. "Hello, my name is Nami and I'm a thief."
"Well...I-I'm H-Henry...and..." Henry said before hide behind Seth as he can't take pressure any longer. "Please don't hurt me!"
Seth and Hoopa just sweatdropped and sigh.
"Telling yourself that you're a thief may not be a good choice for introductions." Seth said as the former rub his forehead while sighing. "Welp, guess that's enough for today..." The Pokémon trainer said as he pulls out Henry's Pokeball. "Henry, return!" Seth said as Henry return into his pokeball.
"It seems the rehabilitation has failed again." Tsukuyomi commented as Seth puts away his pokeball.
"Yup." Seth answered.
"Even now, I'm still shocked that a cute looking guy like Henry has gynophobia." Nami commented.
"The world is full of bizarre things, wherever you go." Hoopa said as Nami turn serious.
"You four seriously need to do something about this! A pirate crew like this won't last in the Grand Line." Nami said.
"Not really, we got Seth's crew to back us up." Luffy said while picking his nose.
"Didn't you remember what he said? Seth's Pokémon may not be enough for the Grand Line!" Zoro said.
"Oh yeah." Luffy said. "But we seriously need a musician."
"We seriously don't." Everyone said.
"And also, the Grand Line is a very dangerous place! Pirates go there in a bigger ship. So in other words, we need a bigger ship!" Nami said as she returned Vulpix into her Pokéball.
""We"? You finally joined us, Ms. Navigator?"
"No! I still don't want to join you!" Nami denied.
"And why are holding my hand?" Seth asked as Nami realize she is holding his hand and immediately let go.
"A-Anyways, what we are heading to is an island with a village. We can get some supplies there and also a bigger ship." Nami said.
"So that means you'll joined us?" Hoopa asked.
"In your dreams!" Nami said, still in denial.
"Yeah and my mom's a pole dancer." Seth retorted.
"Why you little!" Nami said angrily as she strangled Seth as the others just laughed at this.
After that, the crew arrived in the island that Nami memtioned.
"I look around and see if there's others." Tsukuyomi said as Seth nod.
"Do what you gotta do." Seth said as Darkrai sinks into the ground as it turn to a shadow and went away.
"Alright, it's meat eating time!" Luffy said as punch in the air as Zoro yawned.
"And maybe some booze too." Zoro added.
"Must be a blessing to have a rubbery and expandable stomach. If I have that, I can eat all the noodles I want." Seth said as he start drooling.
"Seriously...?" Nami sweatdropped as Zoro put his thumb on one of his swords, ready to use it.
"Careful. We're not alone." Zoro warned as a metal pallet shoot Seth's leg.
"Ow! Such power and accuracy!" Seth said. "Get down!" He said as he pushed Nami to protect her from the attack.
"Hey, uh...Seth." Nami called him while she blushed.
"Yeah?" Seth said as he realized that he's holding her hands. "Whoa! Sorry about that!"
"It's fine." Nami said as they heard laughter from the cliff in front of them. They then look towards the voice as they see a slim tan-skinned boy with medium-length black woolly hair, prominent lips and a long nose, which is apparently an allusion to Pinocchio. He wore an olive green plaid bandanna, a blue and white striped armband on his left arm, along with a rectangular goggles, brown overalls with a white sash and no shirt underneath. He also carries with him a yellow satchel and holding a slingshot in one of his hand.
"I got you where I want you to, pirates!" The boy said as he pointed his slingshot towards them.
"A guy with a Shiftry nose?" Seth asked.
"Shiftry?" Luffy, Zoro, and Nami asked as Seth show the Pokémon's data via Pokédex. The picture is a portly Pokémon with yellow eyes, long nose, and fan like hands. "Shiftry, the Wicked Pokémon. A Grass and Dark type. Shiftry is a mysterious creature that lives deep within the forest. They are said to live in the tops of trees that are over 1,000 years old."
"Awesome!" Luffy said in awe.
"Hey, don't ignore me!" The long nosed boy shouted as he got their attentions.
"You pirates better leave this island or I shall sick my 8.000 men on you!" The long nosed boy said as several flags appeared from the bush. Everyone who isn't Luffy knew it's a lie.
"8.000 men? Who's gonna believe a bullshit like that?" Seth muttered.
"Only an idiot would-" Hoopa said before being interrupted by Luffy.
"Wow, that so many~!" Luffy said with starry eyes as he bought the lie.
'Really...?' Seth, Hoopa, Nami, and Zoro thought.
"That's right! You should surrender while you still got the chance!" The boy gloated. Unfortunately, Seth decided to crush his hopes and attempts.
"You're lying." Seth commented.
"I've seen a Murkrow can make a better lie than you." Hoopa said.
"It's kind of obvious." Nami said as Zoro nod in agreement.
"Crap, they know!"The long nosed boy said.
"See that? He just said we knew it." Seth pointed that out as the boy decided to improvise.
"W-Well...8.000 maybe too much. But I have the most powerful and dangerous companions with me!"
"All three of them?" Seth asked with a grin. As on cue...
"A ghost!" Three voices belonged to kids screamed in fear as they run away from Tsukuyomi and drop the flags.
"Hey wait! Don't leave me-Aah! A monster!" The long nosed boy said as he noticed the Pitch Black Pokémon.
"Now, where are those 8.000 men you spoke of? All I see are three foolish childrens who have no hope winning against me." Tsukuyomi said, speaking like most villains from movies.
"L-Listen h-here you, B-Black ghost..." The long nosed boy said as he stuttered but try to put a brave face while pointing towards Tsukuyomi. "T-The Great Captain Usopp isn't afraid of a-anything! Not t-to someone like you! My skills with slingshots are more powerful than with gun or rifle." He boasted.
'Wait...Did he just say his name is Usopp?' Luffy thought as he heard of the name when...
"You claimed to be fearless but yet here you are trembling in fear." Tsukuyomi said while folding his arms. "How pathetic."
"Shut up! I'm serious!" The long nosed boy named Usopp said as he is aiming his slingshot towards Tsukuyomi.
"Now that you've drawn your pistol, are you willing to use it?" Luffy said as Usopp become surprised at this. "Guns aren't for threats, they're for action."
"Remember this, boy. You are facing REAL pirates now. Choose your next move carefully and wisely." Tsukuyomi said without betting an eye.
"If you want to shoot, then do it. It's easy, right? Just know the consequences of doing that." Seth taunted the long nosed sniper as he began sweating. After several seconds, he end up letting go of his slingshot's sling with his pellet falling to the ground as he now on his knees.
"Real pirates can definitely have a lot more punch behind them because they're words can actually back 'em up." Usopp said as he whimpering with tears. "That's so cool."
As he said that, the boys (including Hoopa) laugh for several seconds. "Actually, that's not my words. I stole it." Luffy said. "I stole it "Red Haired" Shanks. My friend." Luffy said as Usopp widened his eyes.
"What!? You know "Red Haired" Shanks!?" Usopp exclaimed.
(Several minutes later)
"Why didn't you tell me that you know my old man?" Usopp said as Luffy, Seth, Zoro, and Hoopa is eating the food in a cafe. How this happened? Luffy happened to know someone Yasopp, who is not only a member of the Red Hair Pirates but also Usopp's father. Before entering, Seth returned Tsukuyomi into his pokeball.
"I was kinda surprised that you're dad's a pirate at Shanks's crew." Seth said while eating a plate of spaghetti.
"That's my old man for you. Looks like he ventured in the in high seas with famous pirates!" Usopp boasted.
"And you, human, want to be like him?" Hoopa asked.
"Yup." Usopp said before looking towards Luffy, who is still eating. "So how did my dad mentioned me?"
"Well, he mentioned you several times to me so much that it makes my ears bleed." Luffy said as he continuously eating before swallowing. "Despite that, he's a great pirate."
"You should be grateful to have a dad like him, Usopp. And who knows? You can be as great as him or maybe greater." Seth said as he wipes his mouth.
"Yeah, I'm proud to call him my dad." Usopp said with great pride. "He left me and my mom to a life of a pirate on the endless seas and chose the life of a real adventure."
"Say, do you know someone who can provide us with a decent ship on this island?" Nami asked.
"Nope, the only thing you see here is a small village." Usopp answered as Zoro noticed a mansion in the hill from the window.
"Then what's that mansion for...?" Zoro asked as Usopp shudders.
"Judging from your grim and easy-to-read expression, I say you know the people from the place." Hoopa said as he drinks.
"With all of that money, surely they can give us a ship." Nami added.
"Are you crazy?" Seth said as he drinks. "You can just waltz into someone's house and say, "Hey, we're pirates. Can you offer us a ship?". But for your case, Nami, it's "Refuse and will rob your house clean"."
"Greed is the most powerful sin." Hoopa added. "It's fits your nature."
"Hey, I don't steal money from non-pirates! Who do you both think I am!?" Nami asked nonchalantly as she got offended by the remark.
"A Cat Burglar." Seth answered.
"Well...you and Hoopa are strangers from another world!" Nami retaliated as Usopp do a spit take.
"What!? You and that genie are really from another world?!" Usopp exclaimed, shocked at what he just heard.
"Yup/Hell yeah." Seth and Hoopa answered. Before he could he ask them further, he suddenly stand up as he remember something." Oh yeah! I just remember about that there's something I need to do and places to be! Everybody in this place know me, so stay and eat with your heart's content." Usopp said. "So...uh...gotta go!" The sniper said as he leave the restaurant in a hurry.
"What's his deal?" Nami asked.
"He probably visit his girl somewhere." Seth said.
"His what!?" Nami exclaimed. "Where the hell did you get that idea?!"
"Leave to somewhere in a hurry? That's an obvious sign." Seth said.
"There's no way that a girl would ever fall for someone like him. He must be visiting a friend who is-" Before she could say any further, three familiar boy has just enter the restaurant.
"HERE COMES THE USOPP PIRATES!" Three of them shouted as they went towards the four people and a genie's table.
"Oh, it's you kids." Seth said as one of them stand in front of the crew with a brave face.
"Spill it, you filthy pirates! What have you done to our dear captain?" One of them asked with angry expression.
"Yeah! Tell us!" Rest of them added as Luffy just finished drinking and he pat his bloated stomach.
"Ahh, the meat here sure is tasty!" Luffy said as the three kids froze in fear.
"Meat!?" Three of them exclaimed as Nami giggles.
"If you're wondering where your captain is..." Zoro said as he look at the kids with a grin like a predator grin before killing its prey. "...We ate him."
Seth and Hoopa see where this is going and decided to join in. "And all of its left is..." Seth said with a devious grin as he show the trio some bones from the meat. "Is what's left of him."
"In other words, mess with us and you'll end up just like that pathetic excuse of man you called "captain"!" Hoopa added with a grin like Zoro's. The kids about to scream after seeing Nami.
"CANNIBAAAAAL!"
"Why are you looking at me like that!?" Nami exclaimed as Seth, Hoopa, Luffy, and Zoro laugh at this misunderstanding.
After a few laughs, Seth tell the kids, who named Ninjin, Piiman, and Tamanegi, that they were only joking...which made Nami strangle him once again.
Now, the kids taking the crew to the mansion that Zoro pointed out.
"*whistle* Whoever lives here, they must be either filthy rich or other reasons I can't say." Seth said.
"Yup. If our captain goes somewhere in a time like this, this is where he is going to be." Tamanegi said.
"So why Usopp has to come to a mansion?" Luffy asked.
"To tell lies." Ninjin answered.
"Tell lies? That's terrible." Nami said as she placed her hands on her hips.
"Terrible? Aren't you a liar too? Since you're a thief and everything." Seth said as Zoro nod in agreement.
"Well...I...you do have a point there." Nami said as she blushed in embarrassment. Seth then turn towards the trio. "When you say "lie", you meant by telling tall tales?"
"Yup." Three of them nodded. "He's great and awesome!"
"How is a liar awesome?" Zoro asked.
"Well...to Kaya at least." Piiman answered.
"A girl?" Seth asked.
"Yup. The girl who lived in there is suffering a serious depression that causes her to feel weak and sick after her parents passed away out of illness a year ago." Piiman said. "Despite having so much wealth, it didn't make her feel any better. Because of that, our captain tells her a special story to make her cheer her up."
"When it comes to telling lies, Captain Usopp is the best!" Ninjin said.
"Wow, that really is nice of him." Luffy said with his usual smile.
"Sometimes, lying is the best course of action." Seth said.
"Yup!" Three of them agreed. "We really like the captain's made-up story!" Tamanegi said.
"I like him because he likes to being sneaky." Ninjin added.
"And also because he's not afraid to show his silly side." Piiman added.
"So let me get this straight, if he tells those stories, she feels better?" Nami asked.
"Yup!" The trio answered.
"Great! Let's ask her to get a new ship." Luffy said.
"Didn't you heard what I said earlier? We can't. And besides..." Seth said before he point towards the guards, who is guarding the gate.
"Yeah, those guys won't let anyone to go through." Ninjin said. Then, everyone noticed Luffy's absent.
"Huh? Where's Luffy at?" Seth asked.
"Oh there he is!" Hoopa pointed towards Luffy, who is climbing the gate.
"The hell are you doing?" Seth asked.
"I'm going to ask that girl myself." Luffy said. "Gum Gum..." He said as he stretches his arms back as he falls to the ground, still holding it.
"Another monster!" Three of them exclaimed.
"He's serious, huh?" Seth asked.
"...Sorry to intrude..." Just like that, Everyone including Hoopa comes toward Luff in order to stop him...but too late as everybody except Hoopa, who just floating when he was sent flying. "Rocket!" Luffy shouted as everybody are sent flying to the sky...before crashing on the mansion's backyard...in different way as Hoopa descents.
"Ha ha! That's was fun!" Luffy said as he stand from the ground, just fine.
"No it wasn't, you idiot!" Nami shouted with shark teeth. Underneath the orange thief is Seth, which she sitting on his back.
"That went well...sort off." Seth said with muffled voice.
"Seth! Are you okay?" Nami asked.
"Before I answered that, please get off. You're crushing me!" He said as he leans his head up.
"You're telling me that I'm fat?!" Nami asked angrily.
"Hell yes." Seth said as Nami get up from Seth before soccerball kick him.
"Ow!" Seth cried in pain as he get up, rubbing where Nami kicked him. "What was that for?!"
"For being a dumbass!" Nami retorted.
"Damn..." Seth said as he look towards Hoopa. "And why aren't you helping?"
"'Cause I feel like it." Hoopa replied.
"Why you little bastard!" Seth said as he proceeds to strangle Hoopa for awhile. After that, Zoro and the rest get up as they landed in the bushes.
"Oh...are you people alright?" A blonde haired girl asked as she leaning out of the window. She wears a white blouse. She apparently is talking to Usopp, who is standing on a tree branch.
"Don't mind them, Kaya. This always happen to me. It's a price for being a famous! All of them here are new recruits that has heard my name and fame and they decided to join my crew!"
"Nope. That's not why I'm here." Luffy said. "Can I asked you something...?" Luffy asked the girl named Kaya.
"Yes. How can I help you?" Kaya asked.
"I was wondering you can spare us a ship? Ours is a boat, which is too small." Luffy said with a smile.
"Hm..." Kaya then put her one on her hand on her chin as she try to remember if there's a ship. Luckily, it won't be long. "Yes. I also happened to have-"
"What is the meaning of this!?" A voice belonged to a man interrupted the sickly girl as everyone look towards the source...who is a slim man with glasses and slicked black hair appeared. he wore a black suit with two golden markings on it over a white shirt with a curious collar, with spiral-like protrusions on the edges, and a standard black tie. He also wear black shoes. He appeared from the corner of the mansion. Both Hoopa and Seth recognized the man.
"Hold up...is he...what I think he is?" Hoopa asked Seth as he remember seeing the man's face from a wanted poster he picked up for Seth's hit list. Luckily everyone besides the two are talking to the man at the moment.
"No joke. That's him alright...In the flash." Seth said as his surprised became that of a grin.

Before I unveiled the surprise, here's soms Fun Facts:
-Snowy is...well based on an Alolan Vulpix of the same name from the Anime series of Pokémon Sun and Moon.
-Tsukuyomi is based on a name of a technique from Naruto and how he debuted in this story (at night). Surprisingly, I already came up for Cresselia's name.
Notice: OC Profiles has been updated!
Alright...Here it is:
- "Blue fire burns hotter than any fire and it shall light my dream to life."
- "Eventhough the Trickster always pranks his tricks, He also have a heart of a hero."
- "He has the heart of a warrior but a soul of an ancient beast."
- "The Hermit always distance from anything around him because of his past...but companionship may make him come out of his shell."
...Sounds like an upcoming RWBY fanfic.
And I also got poll opened. One that decides which of the following names of a female OC team are the best for the upcoming story. The choices are:
1. VNUS (VeNUS)
2. PDRA (PanDoRA)
3. AMZN (AMaZoN)
So take your pick, okay?
Leave a review if you like this and have a wonderful day.
