One Piece Fanfic: The Krull Pirate Crew

Vivi exhaled deeply from her nose and looked around the room. There had to be a way for her to escape.. But it seemed next to impossible for her to do so with Hatori watching her from the doorway.
He seemed to notice that her eyes were watching him as he smiled at her. It was a sick, twisted little smile. Three of Hatori's visible teeth were missing and the rest were discoloured. He stretched and casually walked over to where Vivi was laying.
"Don't look so glum." He said suddenly, startling Vivi. "I don't think that Krull will want to kill you any time soon. He's always had a thing for girls like you.."
He sighed and sat down beside Vivi who looked away towards the wall.
"You know, I didn't even want to be a pirate in the first place.. Funny, huh? I was perfectly happy being a thief.. But that all changed the day Krull caught me poking around his ship." His voice trailed off and he let out a little laugh. "I can't really complain though.. Being a pirate has its plus side. For instance, I used to be a common thief.. Now, how many people are honestly afraid of thieves? Not many." He looked at Vivi for a moment longer. She was still trying to avoid his gaze. "But.. How many people fear pirates? Quite a few.."
He sighed and stood up, putting his hands in his pocket. "This sure is a lovely island though.." He said quietly as he glanced out the window.

Sanji slowly sat up and looked around. He quickly spotted Zoro laying on his back, but nobody else. "Those bastards.. How could they beat us?" Sanji stammered. He slowly started to rise but felt a horrendous pain in his neck. "Ah, what the hell?!" He cried as he fell back down grasping his throat. He landed on his chest with a loud thud and just laid there waiting for the pain to die down again.
"Zoro.." He tried to shout, but it came out hoarse and raspy. He grumbled and grabbed the nearest thing he could -- a rock. Without hesitation he tossed it at Zoro and watched it bounce off his shoulder.
"Uhnn.." Zoro moaned as he raised his head. He immediately spotted Sanji a couple dozen feet away.
"Where is he.. ?" He choked. A small stream off blood emerged from Zoro's mouth.
Sanji struggled to sit up and face Zoro. "Where is who?" He replied as he reached for his lighter and a cigarette.
Zoro started to look all around. "The big one.. The one who had two axes. I stabbed him in the back.. The other guy ran away like a stinking coward.."
Sanji's eyes drifted from his left to right.. The two of them were alone. "Looks like you didn't get him as good as you thought."
Zoro growled under his breath as he pulled his bandana off. "I stabbed the bastard with two of my swords, did he make off with those too!?"
The two of them just sat there for a moment longer enduring their pain in silence when Vivi came walking down the path.
"Vivi-chan!" Sanji exclaimed in surprise when he saw her. Zoro raised his head to spot her standing a few feet from where he was.
"A-Are you two alright?" She stuttered.
Zoro chuckled. "I'll be fine.. But Love Chef over there looks pretty beat up."
Vivi blinked a few times and looked around towards Sanji. "Do you want me to help you up?" She asked. A hint of confusion was in her voice.
Sanji smiled warmly. "Please do, Vivi-chan. You may lay your hands on me any time you want.."
Vivi grimaced slightly but walked over to Sanji. "Okay, here goes.." She reached down and put his arm around her shoulder and raised him to his feet.
Zoro slowly managed to get to his feet as well. "We should get back to the ship.. I hate to say it, but we may need Luffy.."
Sanji smiled. "I have no problem with that, unless he screws everything up.."
Zoro started to walk down the path followed by Vivi and Sanji.

Juggernaut held one of the swords that was used to stab him in the back. "This is a pretty impressive sword, how much do you think it's worth?" He asked Yu who sat beside him at the table inside the barracks.
Yu shrugged. "Who knows, we'd probably have to get an expert to examine it."
Juggernaut tossed it over onto a stool in the corner of the room. "However expensive it is, it was no match for me.." Juggernaut laughed.
Not only did his Devil Fruit power grant him unnatural strength, but his muscles were also much stronger than that of the normal man's.. And they also healed twice as quickly, maybe even quicker.
Keiko walked in from the back room and looked at Juggernaut and Yu. "You two are back already? You must not of had much trouble..."
Yu shook his head. "Quite the opposite. If I had stuck around, I may have been killed.. And Juggernaut is still wounded from being stabbed through the back with two swords... Nobody was a clear winner."
Keiko raised an eyebrow. "Evenly matched then?" She smiled and put her finger to her chin. "Well.. I think that Krull is going to even the playing field very soon!"
