One Piece: Grand Expectations By The Qing

Part 1 Rip

A strange vessel rested under the waves of the turbulent ocean. From a distance it seemed to be a wrecked ship. But on closer inspection one would see the eerie red eyes, rusted metallic hull, and sharp jagged spears poking out in the front would think otherwise.

Inside of it, an even stranger crew worked. Each one was both faceless (except for one visor eye) and had no signs of emotion. The crew worked silently fixing the ship. A large majority of them maintained a machines that looked liked crosses between depth charges and pressure cookers. While another operated the controls.

The ship's bottom opened and 2 robotic claws went deep into the murky depths of the ocean. After a few minutes the claws lifted up back into the ship, in them bountiful amounts of strange looking fruit. They retracted back into the ship and dumped their load. Then they went back down to scoop more fruit.

A lone, armored figure sat on a black throne facing a large window that showed the underwater marvels that surrounded the craft. Though this would fascinate any other person it ceased to amaze him. In front of him was the crewman who steered the boat itself. A digital map appeared on the window. "Captain, we have reached our target. What course of action should we take?" the helmsman announced in a rusty voice. The armored figure looked up and sure enough the objective was there. He raised his hand and said. "Sink it."

The underwater ship drew the claws back into it's hull. The Depth Charge engines whirred with life. But most of all the spikes in the front grew 10 ft. longer. The monstrosity surfaced then charged at the target at full velocity. And the splintering wood was heard. "Submerge." The captain ordered. The sink dived back into the water. Leaving only remains of the wreck to sink as well.

The captain looked at the sinking ship pieces descend into the watery abyss. Until he saw something that caught his eye. A flag. But not just any flag. It was the picture of a smiling Jolly Roger (f.y.i: skull and crossbones flag) wearing a straw hat. He chuckled. "And so ends the illustrious career of 'Straw Hat' Luffy." He laughed maniacally as his ship swam away from the scene of the crime.
