One Piece Fanfic: The Jagaimo Island Story Arc

Keiko sat by the point and sighed. Where was Krull?
"You.." Keiko glanced up to a tall man in a white coat smoking a cigar. There was the Marines symbol on the coat. Beside him was a young woman with blue hair and glasses.
"You are.. Marines?" Keiko asked, a bit shocked. "Marines have never been to Jagaimo Island.. Why are you here?"
"We are looking for a dangerous pirate." Replied the tall man.
Keiko gulped. "D-Dangerous pirate.. ? Who are you!?"
"I am Major Smoker. Now tell me where the pirates are." His voice sounded agitated
"I.. Don't know.." Keiko responded as she dropped to her knees.
"Smoker groaned. "Straw Hat Luffy... You are not going to evade me this time.."
Keiko heard this and raised her head. "Straw.. Straw Hat Luffy?"
Smoker nodded as he peered down at her. "Do you know him?"
"His boat is docked at the shore a little further down.. He's going to fight my.. Boyfriend... Hakim."
Smoker raised an eyebrow. "Hakim? That is an unusual name.."
He studied Keiko a moment longer before turning to Tashigi. "Apprehend her."
Keiko's eyes widened. "W-What!? What did I do!?"
"Hakim Krull is who you were referring to, am I not correct.. Keiko?"
"How do you know who I am?!" She replied angrily.
"Don't blatantly spit out information when you are wanted by the Marines."
And with that he walked away. Tashigi walked over to Keiko.
"Please let this be easy for both of this.." She said as she slid handcuffs on Keiko.
"Hakim.. Where are you?" She said quietly as a tear ran down her cheek.
I will always be there to protect you.. Keiko..
Keiko thought back to when they were younger. She had gone off to search for firewood when they were on the run.. But she had run into bandits. Just as they were about to attack, Krull had arrived and fought them off.
"I will always be there to protect you.. Keiko.. " Is what he said.

Everyone stood on the shore except for Chopper who was tending to Nami's shoulder up on deck.
As Zoro, Usopp, and Sanji tried to make sense of everything, Krull walked up to Vivi with a very upset look in his eyes. "Princess Vivi.." He said as he stopped in front of her. The sun was starting to set, creating an eerie orange aura around them.
"I have done many wrong things.. And I exploited you.. I may not be able to be forgiven.. But.. I'm sorry.."
Vivi bit her lip as Krull looked at her. "You.. Said you were under a curse, right?" She asked softly.
Krull nodded. "The Curse of Jagaimo Island.."
The other three cremates turned to listen once Krull said this.
"Nobody knows what started the curse, but it has been around on this island for many years.. It randomly takes hold of people's minds and makes them evil.."
"Is this what has happened to Luffy?" Zoro asked.
"I already said that I believe it is what happened, yes." Krull said. "I don't know how to break the curse, exactly, but.." He turned to look at Vivi's face. "I think I'm starting to understand."
"Where is Straw Hat Luffy!"
Everyone turned to see Smoker walking into the open area where they had docked.
"Shit! Whats he doing here?!" Sanji growled.
Zoro slowly put his hand onto a sword as he glared at Smoker.
"Where is your captain?" Smoker demanded.
"He's been cursed by the island." Krull announced as he took a step forward.
Smoker raised an eyebrow. Captain Krull collaborating with the Straw Hats?"
Krull shook his head. "I am no longer a pirate.."
"Once you become a pirate, you never cease to be one.." Smoker mumbled, his cigar bobbing up and down. He shifted his gaze from Krull to Zoro and the others.
"You are all under arrest.. Don't bother resisting."
Krull smiled. "Not very likely!" He looked over his shoulder and nodded at Zoro. "Go! Find your captain! I will take care of this guy!"
"A-Are you sure that you'll be okay?" Zoro asked.
Krull smiled warmly. "I made a promise to a certain girl.. And I won't break it!"
And with that, he turned back around and looked at Smoker as the others departed into the woods.
"You can't defeat me.." Smoker informed him.
"No?" Krull said as he grabbed Smoker's hand and smiled. "But can you defeat yourself?"

Gilles watched as Luffy ran into the village screaming.
"H-Hey! Settle down! Are you Vivi's friend?" He asked.
Luffy stopped and lowered his head. "Vivi.. ?" He slowly started to laugh as he moved he hand into his pocket and pulled out a knife. "She's just a stupid, stuck up princess with too many cares.. She doesn't understand how life works."
He raised his head and looked into Gilles' eyes. "In life, bad things happen.. And you can't always prevent them! .. Stupid girl.."
"Don't talk about Vivi that way. She's a nice girl!" Gilles growled.
Luffy smiled. "Is she?" He gripped the knife harder and walked towards Gilles.
