One Piece Fanfic: The Jagaimo Island Story Arc

It was right before I started to write this chapter that it hit me.. Instead of just writing a little encounter, I think I should write a little miniature story arc.. So yeah, I've changed the fanfic's name from The Krull Pirate Crew to The Jagaimo Island Story Arc.. There will be a bit more to it all aside from just the Krull Pirates, but I will say that once everything is resolved with Krull I am going to continue writing.. Anyway, the first part of this fanfic, the Krull Pirates section, is close to being wrapped up.. Maybe only three or four more chapters until it gets resolved. Maybe then the people of Jagaimo Village can live in peace? :)

Anway.. I hope you enjoy this chapter.

Krull quickly untied Keiko's ropes and helped her up. "Are you able to walk?"
She nodded. "I'll be okay."
Together, they walked up the stairs and out of the cabin. Immediately, Chopper, Luffy and Usopp all turned to Krull and Keiko.
"Vivi.. Why did you untie her?" Usopp asked.
"Just ignore them.." Krull whispered.
Together, the two of them walked past the three of them.
Luffy ran up to Krull before he could get off the ship and grabbed his shoulder.
"Vivi! Hang on, what are you doing?"
Krull turned around and flicked his hair back. "I guess this charade has gone on long enough.." He said, and he then changed back to himself. "I am not Vivi, I am Captain Krull."
Luffy's hand dropped, as did his mouth.. And so did Chopper's and Usopp's. Finally, Luffy spoke up.
"Cooool! You can change shape!"
"Luffy, he's our enemy!" Chopper shouted. "He's their leader!"
Luffy blinked. "You are!? ... Your the one who caused Nami to get hurt? And I almost drowned because of you.. And.. And where's Vivi!?" With each passing word Luffy's anger grew more and more.
Krull took a step back, holding Keiko by the arm. "She escaped.. She's probably fine. It's a wonder that she didn't come back here, really."
Krull turned back around and leaped onto the shore with Keiko. "If you follow us, you will regret it." He said without even stopping or turning his head.
Luffy started to move forward when Usopp grabbed his arm. "Luffy, don't worry about it. They'll run into Sanji and Zoro anyway."
Luffy groaned and watched them leave.
".. I'm not going to go after him yet, I want to find Vivi!!"
He slid Usopp's hand off and jumped down, heading for the woods.

Vivi sat at Gilles' kitchen table sipping tea. He was sitting across from her.
"I wish that I could have put more tea one but.. We may not even meet the quota this time around.." He said quietly.
Vivi reached across the table with her free hand and placed it on Gilles'.
"Don't worry about it, Luffy will take care of everything." She said with a sincere smile. Gilles smiled in return and drank some more tea.
"It would be nice to be free again.. Free from those damn pirates.. Each and every one of them deserves a spot in Hell... Especially Krull."
Vivi nodded. "I didn't get to actually speak with Krull, he had me tied up.. And I didn't even see him for long.. But the things he said to me were terrible things. I can't imagine how he can live with himself.." Her voice trailed off.
"Krull.. Is a very fearsome man." Gilles paused to take another sip of tea. "I used to think that some of his subordinates were the most terrifying of the gang, but after seeing Krull fight it completely changed my mind.."
"How does he fight?" Vivi asked.
Gilles sighed. "He is completely dependent on his Devil Fruit ability.. Not only can he transform, but if he ever touches you he'll have access to more than just your appearance.. Memories, fighting style, friends and foes, personality.. He'll have it all at his disposal.. So if he touches you and then transforms into you at any time, he can be very, very difficult to subdue. Especially if he touches someone who is strong minded or has big muscles.."
Vivi raised her eyebrows. "Sounds pretty bad.."

Zoro walked into the barracks and spotted his swords, as he grabbed them Sanji walked in. "These guys are too full of themselves." He chuckled.
Zoro steathed all of his swords and then smiled. "I felt naked without these."
Sanji stepped outside and looked over his shoulder. "Ready to head back?" He asked as he pulled out a fresh cigarette.
"Yeah.. I'm ready."

Krull and Keiko continued to walk through the woods slowly, at their own pace.
"What are we going to do from here?" She asked.
Krull exhaled. "I have no idea. What happens, happens.. Lets just see what fate will dish out for us."
They walked for another few minutes when they spotted two people up ahead.
"Thats two of them.." Keiko informed Krull.
Krull pulled his cloak off and gave it to Keiko.
"Put that on and wear the hood.. Fasten it well, they would recognize you but not me."
As they approached Sanji looked over at them.
"Who are you two?" He asked.
Krull held his hand out and smiled warmly. "I'm Gennai from Jagaimo Village. This is my wife, Chiko.. Pleased to meet you."
His smile grew when Sanji shook his hand.
He let go and held his hand out to Zoro. "Pleased to meet you, sir!"
Zoro hesitated for a moment but ended up shaking hands with Krull.
Sanji bent down to get a look at Keiko's face. "Hey there.." He said with a grin.
Keiko lowered her head more without saying a word.
Krull noticed this and turned to Sanji. "Sorry, I must apologize.. She's very shy around strangers.. But we all are here on this island I suppose.. We're so isolated.."
He stopped and looked around. "Well... It was nice meeting you, but we gotta go." He said to Sanji. He nodded to both of them and continued walking with Keiko.
"That was awfully close." She whispered.
"Don't worry, you did good.." He assured her.
The two of them continued to walk up the path towards the cottages.
