One Piece Fanfic: The Jagaimo Island Story Arc
The sea was calm, as was Major Smoker who watched as Tashigi interrogated a fisherman who had been passing by in his boat."Have you seen any pirate ships recently?" Tashigi asked.
The fisherman jumped. "P-Pirates! The island I live on was taken over by a small band of pirates.. We.. Have no life there anymore.."
Smoker, who was leaning against the mast, stood up and walked over to the fisherman. "What island?" He asked. His cigar bobbed up and down as he spoke.
The fisherman's hand trembled as he raised it and pointed to the west. "T-That way.. Jagaimo Island is that way.."
Smoker turned his head and peered off into the distance. "This.. Jagaimo Island.. Is being run by a band of pirates.." He shifted his gaze to Tashigi.
"Straw Hat and his crew were spotted out this way.. It must be them."
Tashigi let her arms hang informally. "Are we going to the island?"
Smoker exhaled a large plume of smoke and walked to the side of the ship, back to Tashigi. "We are going there, yes.. And this time I plan on apprehending Straw Hat Luffy." He slowly raised his hand over his head and snapped his fingers. "Full speed west."
Tashigi jumped. "Yes, sir!" She quickly ran across the ship to inform the navigator of their new course.
Smoker stood where he was, his face cold and emotionless.. A steady stream of smoke escaped his cigar.
"Straw Hat Luffy.. You won't get away from me this time!" He growled.
Luffy peered into Krull's eyes with a soul piercing glare.
Krull clinched his fists. "Look, we really don't have to do this."
"Shut up!!" Luffy yelled. "You have NO RIGHT to get away with what you did!"
Krull crossed his arms and looked up into the sky. "No, Luffy.."
He lowered his head and looked at Luffy. "Whenever a wrong can be righted.. Whenever someone is so close to salvation.. They have every right to get away with what they did! I.. I did some terrible things, and they have all taken place on this island.." He felt a lump in his throat as he spoke, and a tear rolled down his cheek.
"THIS ISLAND IS CURSED!!" He cried out in anguish. Luffy was suprised by this as he took a step back and lowered his fists. "This.. This island... It has cursed me, it has made me everything I have always hated.. It has turned me into.. HIM!" Krull shouted as he slammed his fist into a nearby tree.
A bloody mark was left behind, but Krull seemed unaffected. "Damn it!! Why have I become THIS!? Why, father?!"
"H-Hey.." Luffy said softly as he held his hand out, but pulled in back after a moment.
Krull stood by the trees sobbing. Something had really gotten to him, and Luffy could tell that it was big.
The room was dark. In the middle a tall, elderly man stood in front of a crystal ball. His hands rested lightly on it's cold surface. In it, he saw Krull.. Luffy.. Gilles.. Smoker.. Keiko...
"Father!!" The sound of Krull's tortured voice echoed from the crystal ball.
An entity dressed in a black cloak slowly walked over to the elderly man, his feet made no sound on the dark blue tiled floor. "Krull is free now master, you no longer have any control over him.." The entity spoke in a raspy voice.
"Mmm.." The old man nodded. "It doesn't matter. I will get someone else to do my bidding.. This hardly sets us back any. The plan will continue, as scheduled."
The crystal ball zoomed in to Luffy's face slowly. "I just need a new pawn.." The tired voice said eagerly.
