Chapter 11: Yoru Yoru
Eek. Okay, in the last chapter's author's note I said that Sore means "this" and Kore means "that" in Japanese, but I actually got mixed up. Kore means "this" and Sore means "that". I'm really sorry about that. The names in this fanfic haven't changed, they're still the same.
I still don't own One Piece. Reviews are appreciated .
Grim Kraken sat at his desk. As he looked through a wanted list, he came across a page with the face of a boy, with a head worth 30 million belli. Staring at the picture, he thought, He wants to find One Piece and become King of the Pirates. His green-haired friend wants to be the greatest swordsman in the world. His blonde friend wants to find the All Blue. There is a link between those dreams.
He read the bounty again. 30 million belli. So you want to find One Piece. You'll have to do better than that.
Then he looked at the wall. Four wanted posters were pinned in a line. The first had an 33 million belli bounty. The second had a 90 million belli bounty. The third had a 180 million bounty. The last one had a 210 million belli bounty.
Amazing how expensive my head is, Kraken thought. Then he looked at another wanted poster. It had a bounty of 76 million belli. Looking at this, Kraken grinned and teasingly thought, You never could have caught up to me, Dendes.
Then, Kraken stood up, walked over to the office entrance, and locked the door.
In the cartography room, Nami looked at the clock. Ten minutes after six, only five minutes until dinner time. She could look for Usopp during that time.
Three sleeping bodies were layed upon the ground.
One of them spoke. "...Hnn...meat..."
"OWW! What the damn--"
"Hnn? Sanji? Is that you? Wait, you're not meat."
"Did you bite me!"
"WAAHH! Um, no."
"Luffy, you fuckin'--" In an amazing act of strength, Sanji actually hopped up into a standing position with the straitjacket still on, then proceeded to jump on Luffy, swearing at the same time. Luffy, after being hopped on twice in a row, tried to dodge Sanji's next assault by rolling away, and ended up slamming into Zoro. Zoro woke up with a shock, and since he was lieing against the wall with Luffy in front of him, Sanji jumped... and hit his face against the wall. For a couple seconds, the three of them just stayed there, in a pile, none of them moving. Then, Zoro and Sanji both shouted, "LUFFY!".
"What?" came the response.
"My, this is a noisy room."
Sanji, Luffy, and Zoro all turned their heads towards that voice.
"It's him," said Zoro. He and Sanji both grew a stern look, not that Kraken would probably see it in the dark.
"Who?" said Luffy.
"IT'S GRIM KRAKEN, YOU RETARD! THE GUY WHO CAPTURED US!"
"WAAH! he is!"
Facing towards Kraken, Sanji said, "We've been here long enough, you bastard, when are you going to let us go!"
"GOMU GOMU NO BELL!"
Nothing happened.
"You see, this is why only your straitjacket has a hood attachment" said Kraken.
"ERRGHHH..."
Since Zoro couldn't see Luffy in the dark, he asked, "What are you doing, Luffy?"
"GOMU GOMU NO CHOMP!"
"Oh, so you were trying to squeeze your face out."
"And he did a good job at that" said Kraken.
"What!"
"We can't see anything!" yelled Sanji. "Tell us what's going on!"
They heard someone choking.
"He stretched his neck and tried to bite me, but I caught his throat" said Kraken.
Zoro and Sanji were taken back. "But how could you catch him if you can't see him?" asked Sanji.
Kraken released Luffy's neck and his head flew into the wall.
"I can see him. I can see anything in the dark. Better than I can see in the light, actually."
"Wait," said Zoro, "you ate a Devil fruit, didn't you?"
"What!" yelled Luffy. Sanji just glared at Kraken.
"The Yoru Yoru no mi, night-night fruit. Sight, touch, hearing, whenever there is darkness, those senses become sharper than in the light. And as another effect, I can even camoflauge myself in dimness. Before I created this company, I was a nocturnal pirate. I was powerful enough to defeat a Warlord at night, but enough of this. I just came here to bring you guys dinner."
Kraken had caught Luffy's attention. As Kraken tossed a lunchbag onto the floor, Luffy stretched his mouth out and devoured the entire bag. Kraken also tossed a bag in front of Zoro and Sanji. It was open and its contents spilled out, which was good, since they were still stuck in a straitjacket and couldn't open it if they had to.
Then, as Kraken opened the exit, he sarcastically said, "Enjoy your stay here."
It was 6:45. Where the hell is Usopp! Nami thought in the dining hall.
Meanwhile, Ugama walked into the kitchen and shouted, "Hey! Who made this delicious curry?"
Sooze and Bunge both walked up to him. "That would be us," said Bunge.
"Didn't you two also make the mashed potatoes for lunch today?"
Sooze and Bunge both nodded.
"Great! From now on, you two will also be making breakfast."
"Wha-" Sooze started to say, until Bunge cut him off. "That would be fine with us, sir."
"Good to hear that." and Ugama then walked away.
"What was that for!" said Sooze. "Don't you know that breakfast crew has to wake up an hour before the rest of the slaves!"
"So what if we have to wake up early?" said Bunge. "It wouldn't matter to a truly dedicated cook."
Sooze was about to say something, but he just folded his arms and mumbled loudly enought for Bunge to hear, "I didn't say it bothered me."
"Yeah right, faker," Bunge replied.
Nami finally got sick of waiting, put her tray away, and went back to the navigator lodge. I wonder if Usopp has a plan to find Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji...
There was a soldier patrolling the forest, when he found a boy walking around. "Hey! You!" he shouted.
The boy turned around. He had a long nose and wore overalls. He was also holding something in his hand.
As the soldier walked over to him, he asked "What are you doing here?"
The boy replied, "Uh, some overseer told me to deliver this package to Kraken, so I came here, but I got lost."
The soldier exploded into laughter.
Author's Note: Okay, there were some awkward parts. I hope that nobody minds that I use Gomu Gomu No instead of gum-gum. I debated with myself over which one to use, then I decided that since I was using the phrase "Yoru Yoru no mi", I should use Gomu Gomu No. And yes, Yoru means night, I checked. If anyone has a problem with that or anything at all, you can send a review.
