One Piece Fanfic: The Jagaimo Island Story Arc
So, Gilles is going to tell Luffy what he did after he eats.. Luffy sticks up for others, he protects them.. So what will he think when he finds out that he became what he protects people from? Also, can Krull successfully lure Smoker off the island? And what about Sanji, Vivi and Zoro, who are still out there somewhere? Chopper is still on the ship taking care of Nami, how is that going? I'll try to touch upon everything in this chapter, so here we go. :)
Krull
walked along the path with Smoker, constantly directing his gaze
towards him
He's
not a stupid guy.. What if he becomes suspicious? He thought to
himself.
"You
are awfully quiet." Smoker said flatly.
"A-Ah
yes Smoker sir!" Krull bit his lip and kept walking. "I was
just thinking."
Smoker
walked for another minute without saying a word until he suddenly
turned his head towards Krull. "About what?"
Krull
sighed. "Roronoa Zoro.."
"Heh.."
Smoker smiled slightly for a moment before looking ahead again as he
walked forward. "I'll make sure that we get them all before we
leave the island.. Don't worry about that." He said confidently.
Just
as Luffy was about to sink his teeth into a delicious hunk of meat,
Gilles looked him straight in the eye.
"And
then you killed her."
Luffy
slowly let his hands fall back to the table as his eyes widened.
"No.."
Gilles
shut his eyes and nodded. "You were under the influence of Puppet
Master Zezi.. He is able to manipulate the thoughts of anyone..."
Luffy
stood up slowly and adjusted his hat.
"I
can't forgive him." He growled. "He made me kill someone. I don't
kill people."
Gilles
peered up into Luffy's eyes. What he saw amazed him. In Luffy's
voice, Gilles heard anger and hatred.. But in his eyes he saw a deep
sadness.
"I'm..
Going to kick his ass.." Luffy hissed as his eyes narrowed
menacingly.
Gilles
peered back down at Luffy's plate. "You said that you needed to
eat.. Are you going to be alright without anything in your stomach?"
Luffy
looked down at him coldly. "Meat can wait."
"Where is everyone.. ?" Nami asked weakly as she painfully forced herself into a sitting position.
"They.. All went to fight." He replied quietly. He sounded as if his mind was drifting far, far away.
"Fight.. Fight what!?"
Chopper hopped onto the deck and sat beside Nami. "I don't know.. I didn't really hear everything from up here, but Captain Krull isn't our enemy."
Nami's eyes widened slightly. "Then who is?"
"I don't know, I just heard something about a curse.. Then Krull told everyone to head into the island while he distracted Smoker."
"Smoker?!" Nami's eyes didn't widen slightly this time, they flew open.
Chopper nodded.
"Why is he still looking for Luffy.." Nami growled as she painfully stop up and looked around. Nobody was on the beach either. She was alone with Chopper.
"I'm not going to go anywhere though, Nami.. I need to watch over you, and someone may show up at any time. I'm not much of a fighter... But I think I am better off on my feet than you are right now."
Nami nodded. "Mm-hmm.."
Usopp
ran out of the woods huffing and puffing, and onto a small path that
was stretched out around a small mountain chain.
"Whew!
I made it!" He said triumphantly as he stop up.
"Ha
ha, nobody can outsmart Captain Usopp!!" He shouted gleefully as he
put his thumb his chest.
"Captain
Usopp, huh?" Came a raspy voice.
Usopp
became as still as stone as he looked to his side. There he saw a
tall, cloaked figure. He could barely make out a wicked smile in the
darkness of the hood.
"W-W-W-Who
are you!?" Usopp stammered as he struggled to keep his legs still.
"Who
am I.. ? I am called Goblin. Pleased to meet you.. Captain Usopp, is
it?"
Usopp
forced a confident smile, but he was still shaking. "Thats right!
Captain Usopp, the most feared pirate on the Grand Line.. No no.. In
the entire WORLD! Ha ha, yes! And.. And I have one billion
followers!"
Usopp
fell silent as he waited for a response from Goblin. After a moment,
a response came in the form of a quiet snicker.
"You
don't expect me to believe such rubbish, do you? What a terrible
liar!" Goblin burst out laughing as he held his hand to his head.
"S-Stop
laughing!" Usopp demanded.
"Even
if you had so many men, Captain Usopp, I doubt that you could handle
us!" Goblin was laughing even harder.
"Us..
?" Usopp whispered. Behind him, he heard a quiet growl.
He
slowly turned around to see a hulking beast which resembled a tiger.
"Aahhhhhhhh!!!!!
Weretiger!!" He screamed.
"I
am not a 'weretiger' you idiot.. I am Tiger, a former Shichibukai.
I ate a zoan fruit.. The tora tora fruit to be exact."
Usopp
nodded. "Uh.. Uh huh.."
Tiger
smiled. "And you.. I've never heard of any Captain Usopp." he
leaned down and looked Usopp in the eyes. "If you are lying, boy..
I may have to hurt you."
Tiger's
arm reached up and clenched Usopp's throat. "What business do you
have on our little island?"
Usopp
gulped.
