Chapter 5: Questions

Hey, I don't have to go anywhere! Please review. I don't own One Piece.

As Nami, Usopp, and Ugama were walking back to the slave camp, Nami had something she wanted to ask. She wasn't sure if this was the time to talk though.

But then Usopp asked, "Can I ask a question?"

"What is it?" Ugama replied.

"Are there any enforcers or guards other than the Brass and Iron Security pirates?"

Ugama grinned. "Are you thinking of escape? Well, there is the Land Squad controlled by Burnz. Do you remember those green-uniformed soldiers we passed on the hill? They're the Land Squad. They deal with any intruders that the Security pirates missed. There are also the overseers led by me who enforce the slave camp. And here's the entrance to the slave camp right now. The overseers have red uniforms. And they're armed as well, so obey them."

Before they reached the gate, Nami asked "Can I ask a question as well?"

"What is it?" Ugama replied.

"Who was that Dendes guy, the person at Kraken's office? He was wearing the same colored uniform as you and Kraken..."

"Oh him?" Ugama answered. "Ask the sages."

"The sages?"

"Just ask around the camp and you'll find them."

At Kraken's office building...

Vard entered the room. Behind him were three soldiers, each holding an unconscious person in a straitjacket. On the opposite side of the room was Grim Kraken, sitting behind his desk, important papers in front of him, a frown on his face. Dendes was leaning against the side wall.

Vard spoke up, "These are the other three intruders."

Kraken asked, "And you say that you and Hugo split up these men and their crewmates because these three were dangerous, hence the straitjackets?"

"Yes," Vard replied. "And I have learned in this logbook that these intruders are the Straw Hat pirates, the captain with a bounty of 30 million belli."

"That's actually my logbook, you know" Dendes commented.

Vard rolled his eyes "Yes, it was yours, but there's a thing called photo copying."

"Enough," Kraken spoke. "Thank you Vard, for bringing these pirates to me. You may leave them here and I'll interrogate them."

Then Vard's pirates dropped the fallen Straw Hats.

"Now return to your duties. That goes for you too, Dendes. Load up and get out of my sight."

"Actually, I think I'll stay here a little bit longer" said Dendes as he stood up and walked towards the door.

"DENDES!" Kraken yelled. "You have an important job as the company's bounty hunter! Leave NOW! Commanding a company that helps pirates is expensive and hard work!"

Dendes stopped walking. He just stood right in front of the door, still. Then he said,

"Fine, Grimmy."

"And don't call me that!"

Dendes left.

"How old was he again?" Vard asked.

"Twenty-four, since I last checked. And didn't I tell you to leave as well?"

"Sorry, Master Kraken" and Vard turned towards the door with his three pirates.

"Oh, and here" then Vard tossed a remote towards Kraken before leaving.

"...hmm?..." went one of the bodies on the floor.

Okay, this fanfic may seem kind of strange now, but it'll clear up soon.
