Disclaimer: I don't One Piece, that belongs to Oda. I do own Anya, the Crimson Pirates, and any other OC that will appear.
-Anya's P.O.V. Prior before the separation-
"Boss went further ahead, while Sai took a left turn. Heh, you'll never be able to beat them."
Luffy snorted at him. "Don't underestimate us. I'm going to be pirate king."
Hearing him saying, even after being away from him for years, still gets me excited. I don't believe in fate, but something brought me here to me him. I had money to take me to the next town, but I wanted to stay longer to search for treasure. I figured why not get more money to fund my voyage and then hopefully voyage. Although, I probably would have missed him if I stuck around, but something drove him here.
"Anya-nee." I turned to my brother who gave me a thumbs up. "I'll get your money back okay? Send Crimson Claw flying and then we can set sail.
I nodded toward him. "Thanks… Captain."
I ran off to where Crimson Claw could be. I am going to cut and kick that jerk when I see him. First, he kidnapped a girl and then this village. No way, he's going to be walking away without blade up his butt.
I kept running and running until I saw a pile of dead animal bodies. Wait I think I knew these wolves. These were the beast that attacked me. I never killed them, but I did show them I'm tougher than I looked. I halted when I saw a familiar wolf with a familiar scar. It was Scar… the leader of the pack. I know it sounds cliché naming him after his scar, sue me. I shook my head at the gruesome unnecessary kill. This was their territory, there was no need to kill them.
Nature was disturbed, yes I disturbed it before, but I never killed any of them. I gazed around and gasped at something else that made me want to cry. He killed a momma and her pups. Those pups were too cute to die. No matter if they grew up to be ferocious predators. They still look totally adorable as babies. That's it, no way he's walking out alive or unbroken bones. Whichever comes first.
I got up, clapped my hands together and said a silent prayer.
After I was done, I jetted off as quickly as my legs could take me. I kept running until I came to a small river. On the other side I spotted that Crimson guy with the rest of his buddies and 9 barrels filled with explosives. Yeah I dragged those out here to blow up rather than dig. I needed a wagon too. Not my most brilliant idea, but I was desperate to get home to see my brother. I guess I'm paying for it.
Devlin slammed his foot on the ground. "Why did I agree to this?"
One of the crimson pirates gulped. "Well… you read that note you found at camp. You decided to use this idea."
"… Detonate them all!"
"WHAT?!"
"You heard me, destroy this place! We'll dig up the rest for ourselves. I'm losing my hearing anyway."
"Yes sir!"
This stunt will cause more damage and who knows what other cute little animal will get hurt. I leapt out from my hiding place with my spear in hand. "Stop!"
The pirate captain glanced at me and smirked. "Look boys, a girl wants to stop us."
Naturally they laughed at me and beckoned me to come over and join them. I merely scoffed at them. "Don't underestimate me. I took down your men back at the ship. I have a few friends helping me deal with the rest of your crew."
That got him to ease up, but I don't think he is taking me quite seriously yet. He took off his coat and proceeded to walk over. "You did?"
"A blonde girl named Sonya. She told me you kidnapped her and ransom her. Not Cool."
"How did you get past them?" He narrowed his eyes at me. His eyes morphed into slits. Seems like he is going to transform.
"My brother and his friends arrived in town. We teamed up, fought your henchmen, raided your ship, and now here I am fighting you."
"WHAT!?" He went beastman mode. I can see why he wore no shirt.
He had brown fur covering him and his pants seemed to grow along with his body. He mouth and nose transformed into a snout and his human ears went to animal like ears. His arms got beefed up and his hands were still human like, except his nails grew out. His hair grew again to be wavier, fiery and wild like. He also grew a cute fluffy tail. That's the only thing that's cute about him, everything else looked disgusting and diseased.
"I ate the Weasel Weasel Fruit: Model Wolverine. Who are you woman?"
"Monkey D. Anya, you saw my twin brother's wanted poster, correct? Strawhat Luffy ring a bell?" I smiled cheeky ate him.
His men shouted and profanity and phrases that I never heard before.
"We're fraternal twins by the way."
"I can see some kind of resemblance. That smile and the cheek bones are like him." He narrowed his eyes and smiled. "I'll kill you and hold your mutilated body in front of him."
"Boss can you not cut her up too much. We would like to do things to her corpse."
"What do you mean we?" one of them bonked the other on the head. "The only necrophiliac is you."
"And me… unfortunately." Another sighed as he raised his hand.
"Don't admit if you don't like it!"
"ENOUGH!" shouted Devlin. "All of you shut up! It's bad luck to desecrate the dead. REMEMBER THAT!"
Hmm, looks like he does not tread that far across the line.
"Brat, prepare to die!" He ran at me with the speed of a furiously cuddly animal gone wrong. I pivot to the right side as he tried to claw me. I brought my shield up as I managed to block his other claw. I proceed to stab him, but he kicked me away before I could do anything. He chased after me and thrust his right arm. I quickly smacked it away with my spear as we landed. I proceeded to deliver a powerful kick to the chest. He was surprised that I managed to budge him, let alone send staggering back.
"Grrr." He gripped his chest. "You are stronger than you look. I take that back about you. You are not just some weakling. If you are strong, then your brother is stronger correct? If that is the case it will be all the more satisfying in fighting him."
"You can't fight him until you defeat me." I clapped my hands, partly to taunt to him. "Care to dance?"
3rd p.o.v
They clashed once again. Anya performed 6 piercing moves on the beast man, but the fruit user evaded them. He twisted turned around to deliver a spinning back kick. She mimicked him and the impact caused them to stay that way for a few seconds before Anya, quickly, swung her spear. She managed to nick him as he dodged.
"You have to follow your partner's movement when you dance." The girl winked mockingly
One of the pirates lit a match near the barrels of explosives. His fellow crew member looked at him with worry.
"Why did you light the match?"
"Captain's orders!
"NOT YET!" screamed another. "Do it when we're not here."
"… I agree, let's blow this popsicle stand. I'm sure Captain Devlin will avoid it in time. Bonus if that girl is caught in the explosion
"… Sure let's do it."
Back at the fight, Anya performed a shield smash on the face snout of Wolverine. She did it 4 more times before slashing him across the chest. The wolverine man countered attack by swiping her with his claw. He managed to tear and her shirt open near her stomach. Anya grunted when she felt the claws scratch her.
"Did that hurt?" He sneered. "I sure hope so." He raised his claw deviously with her blood on it. "That's the reason why everybody calls me the Crimson Claw." He licked the blood off. "You get the idea.
"Yeah, I get." She performed a split just as he thrust both of his claws at. He kicked her away, but she landed on her hands and jumped back on her feet. He swung his claws as he leapt toward her. She dodged and jumped over another claw swipe.
"Morning Buzzsaw!"
She performed a midair somersault where she spun in the air while blitzing past him across his shoulder. For a while she was a living buzzsaw to the flesh of the fruit user. He howled in pain as she landed on the ground. She turned around just as he was about claw her. The teen girl evaded him by spinning around gracefully while managing a cut on his leg. He howled in pain and then retaliated by kicking her. She staggered back at the hit and barely dodged another claw strike. She hissed slightly at the pain yet kept on. She dodged another strike she went in with
"Morning Crescent!"
She swung her leg around as she delivered powerful kick in the shape of crescent moon. Why she called it morning was something that does not need to be discussed. He then punched her hard in the chest and sent her back.
"Damn wench. I hope you felt that."
"OF COURSE I DID!"
"You sure are small." He taunted at her.
"WHAT WAS THAT?!" She growled, but then calmed herself down. 'Don't let that get to you.' She was thankful her breast was not large. She wished she was not close to ironing board status. Seeing Nami's size made her jealous.
She grimaced as the fiend lifted a large boulder over his head. "Ah?" The beast hefted a boulder in her direction.
She dodged to the side to avoid the large rock. He got sloppy when he tried to attack her with his injured shoulder. Unfortunately, he hesitated and grabbed his shoulder. The girl jumped back and readied herself.
"You know what? If I'm in pain, then I know what to do to get stronger. That way I can avoid fatal blows and survive deadly encounters. Besides," She pointed at him with her weapon. "How can I learn without gaining experience." She said as she slammed her foot on the ground and blitzed straight at him. "I'll get stronger after I am through with you."
"You won't!" He growled and shot at her with snout wide open. "I'll bite that pretty little face off."
She twirled her staff. "If you wanted to be my dance partner all you had to do was ask."
"SHUT UP!"
She moved like a feather as he tried to stab
"Midnight Fang!"
"I wont lose." The crimson Claw thought. "I WON'T!"
::flashback::
Don Krieg walked away from Devlin after a long fought battle. "You're good Devlin." He grinned at him. "But I'm better, you should retire."
"Krieg!"
::flashback ends::
"How can I get back at him if I lose here?! No, no, no, no!"
BANG
SLASH!
Anya had tossed her shield like a discus at the incoming beast once he had gotten close. The hard hit of the shield sent him into a dizzy state. She reeled back her weapon and delivered strong slash across the chest. The beastman staggered forward a few steps, then blood spurted out of his chest. He groaned as he collapsed on his knees and started to breath heavily.
"Stupid wench…" He said between gasps. He breathed in and shouted. "BLOW IT UP!" He then collapsed on the ground
Anya's eyes widen and whipped around to face the pirates. The color faded from her face as she saw the pirates threw matches at the explosives and ran for their lives. Anya ran away, but felt something grab her leg as she tripped. She looked behind her and saw the beastman having a tight grasp on her. "If…. I-I'm… go-."
"'I'm going down, I'm taking you with me?' Yeah… no." She stabbed his arm, causing him to let go and then ran away as quick as her feet could carry."
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM
-Village-
Sanji and Zoro saw the huge explosion erupting in the distance. They knew it wasn't good. One or both may have been caught up in the explosion. Sanji grimaced as he prepared to run. "I'm going in there." He shouted and took off.
Zoro frowned at that and wondered if the Monkey Twins were okay. "Luffy might be okay, but if his sister is caught then there will be many bits and pieces of her everywhere."
"THAT'S MEAN!" He got hit on the head by a 15 year old girl with a frying pan. "I heard of you! Roronoa Zoro, I guess you are an insignificant jerk as the rumors say. You don't care about your Captain's sister one bit!" He turned his head toward the disappointed villagers."
"Jerk!"'
"Doofus!"
"Moron!"
"NOW WAIT!" Zoro shouted.
-Back to the explosion-
The Crimson pirates were sprawled out on the ground after being carried by the explosion. They managed to get away, but the aftershock carried them away. Only a few of them got up, the others had broken their legs.
"W…we killed the boss…" One of them started crying
"He would've wanted it this way." One of them took off his beret and placed it on his chest. "He was truly a manly man."
"Except for his love of stamps." One of the men with broken legs murmured.
"I don't understand that at all." One of them scratched his head. "It would be cool if he had something else."
"He's the captain," Another of them shrugged. "Whatever his weird hobby is we shouldn't question it."
"Shut up all of you." Another of them tore of his beret and displayed short blonde hair. "We don't know about the others, so I'm taking charge until we hear word from Sai, Yoshi, and Leo." He led the group back to the crater. "and if boss is still alive."
He then spotted something at the bottom.
"Check around and if you see the girl unconscious, tie her up. If Strawhat Luffy took Sai out, then we have some leverage against him."
He jumped down and slid down. As soon as he got to the bottom he found something like a steel chest with a lock on it. He down on it curiously and turned back to the others. "Hey guys get down he-."
"aHH!" One of the guys was tossed own the crater with him.
"Huh?" He stared at his downed crew member and then looked up. What he saw made him wet his pants and took out his gun. "S-stay back! Y-y-you're supposed to be dead."
"I ran too fast and got pushed by the shockwave." Anya glared at the man. "What was I going to do, use your boss as a shield? If I could've dragged him away, I would." She positioned her spear toward him. "Now, step aside."
"I- I have gun! Yes? Gun beats spear."
She frowned. "So? Spear beats flesh?"
"YOU GET WHAT I MEAN!" His gun was still locked on her. "Stay there, I wouldn't want to put a hole in your pretty face. H-how about w-we team up. I'll be your captain and you get to be my first mate."
She sighed and rolled her eyes. "I like strong men, you're man enough for me." She looked on him with pity
"DON'T PITY ME! I CAN BE STRONG!" He shouted and patted his chest. "I'll fight Marines, pirates, and strong men to be strong. I will live the Captain's dream of beating the best like Whitebeard, Shanks, the admirals and whoever. That way! I'll BECOME THE PIRATE KING!"
"Pirate King!?"
He gasped as another figure came into view. It was Strawhat Luffy, who looked not too happy as he approached.
The purple haired girl smiled at her sibling. "He said he wanted to become Pirate King."
"That's reserved for me!" Luffy frowned at the man. "You tried to blow up my sister and now you want to be Pirate King?"
"Sh-She beat up boss."
"Don't care." Luffy walked forward just as he fired the gun. The bullet hit luffy and went through him. No, it didn't pierce his skin. It stretched his skin from behind. The man was startled and looked like he was foaming at the mouth.
"HE'S A FRUIT USER TOO!?"
"My brother is a rubber man. He ate the Gum Gum Fruit."
The bullet ricocheted back and struck the ground near the man. Luffy gave lighthearted smile at the shivering man. "Give up?"
"I surrender! Don't hurt me please!"
"Okay, just get our here!" He crossed his arms.
"Yes, sir." The man ran out of the crater and away from the scary people
The twins laughed at scene. "Just by seeing you he ran."
"You beat Crimson Claw, that should give you some sort of bounty right?"
"Sure why not…" She then looked at him. "Alright, now that I'm part of the crew I thought about being the Chore Girl."
"Really, I thought about you being Co-Captain, but that's cool."
"Nah, don't want to lead, besides I think Roronoa is more First Mate material." She snorted at him. "Someone has to clean up after every mess. I helped Dadan, clean up after you three idiots." She said as she poked his head. "They take us in and you guys had to place trash all over."
"You were messy in the beginning. Besides, didn't Gramps force them?"
"Still…" She collapsed on her knees. "I feel tired ya know. Get that chest brother dear."
"… Fine, I wonder what's in it? It's all metal and stuff."
"Yeah…" She then fell on her back. "Hmm, the sky looks nice."
"LUFFY! ANYA-CHAAAN!"
Sanji appeared and hilarious fashion. "Are you hurt? Did that crappy claw bastard injure you to much? He clawed you on the stomach! That bastard!"
"I'm fine, nothing like an explosion in your in your face."
Luffy jumped up from the crater with the metal chest in hand. "Ya know, this isn't heavy at all. You would think a metal chest with metal coins would be heavier."
"That's the smartest thing you said since I've known you." Sanji muttered. He looked at Anya. "No offense."
"Try living with him, he and my other two brothers were idiots."
"Huh? You have two more brothers?"
Luffy frowned. "They adopted us. … one of them is dead, the other is a pirate now."
"Oh…" The blonde felt a little uncomfortable. "What about the other?"
The purple haired girl nodded. "I'm sure you heard of Fire Fist Ace."
Sanji's eyes widen. "REALLY? Second in command of the Whitebeard pirates? Wow, I didn't think you guys were related… although, there is the D initial." He contemplated. "Do you two know what D stands for? "
"No." They both said.
Sanji decided to drop the matter. He had no interest of D was and if these two did not know then that's it. Nothing important. He then remembered something else. "Oh, I ran into that boxer. He told me you had gone ahead. You didn't beat him too badly Luffy."
"He's a good guy. He told me he did none of the stuff you see in the newspaper."
Sanji raised a brow. "You're going to believe what he said?"
"He gave me Anya's money and asked if he could spar with me. He's not a bad guy. That crimson jerk forced him along. Crimson found him on some island, ransacked it, and overpowered Sai with those two other guys."
Sanji and Anya stared at him oddly. They truly did not know what to think about the boxer or how Luffy easily befriended the man. Sanji thought about it for a while. He never cared about certain things going on in the world, but there were things that did interest him.
Yes, there were things that interested him other than women and cooking. He also liked boxing, specifically kick boxing since it was a style he uses. He remembered the old man taking him to a kick boxing tournament 4 years ago. It was more about taking notes than watching, yet the chef enjoyed tourney.
Sai was not his favorite boxer before the thing started, but he did not despise him. His old man was a pirate after all. Now that he thought about it, he remembered a world noble visiting a tournament two years ago. Could it be the tournament Sai it fought in?
He heard about them and wondered if Sai did anything to piss off a crappy holier-than-thou bastard, not on purpose though. Heh, just by existing was enough to tick off that load of feces. The old man told him they were the true demons in this world. He made a note not get in one's way in the future… if he could help it.
"So what really happened?"
"He said a noble with enough power framed him for not forfeiting his match. That's why."
"I was right." Thought the chef.
"A noble." Anya raised a brow.
"Yeah, he said there was some kind of dragon people. He said I'll find out once we reach Shabody Archipelago."
"Framed, eh? I kind of feel bad for the guy now."
Anya narrowed her eyes. She knew who Sai was talking about. She shook her head, she did not want to be reminded of those people, the ones that killed Sabo. She put it in the back of her mind for now.
"Hey, let's see what's inside."
She walked over to the chest and examined the lock. She raised her shield and struck the lock five times before it broke off. Once that was done, she opened the box. The chef and her brother peek in to see what contents were.
Inside was a scroll and next to it was a silver coin that had a picture of a dragon head on it. All three went 'huh' as they saw the contents. Anya reached in and took out both objects. She unrolled the scroll and scanned it.
"What does it say?" asked the chef
"Guys… I think I have another reason to come along with you guys."
"What does it say that has you worked up?"
The purpled haired teenager giggled. "This tells me about something that are like myth and legends. Something that gives me more belief of something that is out there. Think of it like One Piece. This thing reveals the location of an island home to an ancient civilization that once held the meeting place of a strong group of knights. These knights were called Dragoon."
"Really? Dragoon can call forth dragons right?"
"As a Dragoon myself, no. We can't call dragons and use them for battle. Back then, Dragoon rode on horseback and charge into battle. The armor they wore was a symbolism of looking like a dragon. We still use weapons like spear, lances, javelins and what not. Of course, not all Dragoon rode on horseback, the-"
"They can fly?" asked the excited captain.
"No, they can't fly and neither can I. If they did they probably had Devil Fruits that grant them flight. We don't just charge and stab. Do you guys see various people wielding overgrown spears?" She pointed at her spear. "I was trained by my master to hold and use this bad boy so that I can hack and slash."
"Who was your master?" questioned the blonde.
"Kazama Sakura."
The chef eyes widen in disbelief. "Y-you mean t-the Bloody Cherry Blossom? The infamous bounty hunter? What is she like?"
"She's a 70-year-old coot with an alcoholic problem and used to throw me into pirate vessels as a vanguard. Someday I'll kick her ass. Of course, unlike what her names says, she just likes traveling and reading books. She's also an author under the disguise of Lily Peters. People call her a bounty hunter because she attacks bandits and pirates. She did fight Shanks a few years back... and lost. She also had a few run-ins with Gold Roger
She then remembered their previous discussion. "Let's get back to the subject." She pointed at the scroll. "Over 900 years ago, there existed an order that was dedicated to preserving peace or something like that. I don't know much, but they disbanded." She sighed. "I don't know the reason. Some believe it fell out of practice or an event caused them to disband. No Dragoon order exists today, but the teachings still continue. Everybody wants to do their own thing. There are dragon knights in the Marines, bounty hunters, and pirate groups. I don't think any of them have the desire to find that ancient birthplace of the order.
"So what does this mean?" wondered Luffy with some excitement.
"It means I want to find this order and this medallion is the key to opening some complicated lock or two." She turned toward Luffy. "On our quest for One Piece, will you help me? If we find it, I will get to know the rich and cultural history of these proud warriors."
"Of course, we'll find it." Luffy smiled widely An ancient order sounds really cool though."
Sanji smiled. "They might have some other secrets we don't know about."
After their discussion was over, the trio went around and gathered up the unconscious pirates on the ground. The put them on the cart that was used to carry the barrels earlier. On their way back they saw the burnt up and beaten Devlin. They bonded him and carried him back to the village. During the trek they encountered Sai, who had the rest of the Crimson Pirates all bundled up in a pile.
"Hello."
"Hey Sai!" Luffy pointed at Devlin. "See? I told you she can beat him. Now here he is all beaten to a pulp."
"He looks like the explosion caught him."
"He tried to drag me down." The girl rubbed her stomach. "But I managed to get away before the blast hit."
"I see…" He looked at the charred crimson fiend for a moment. He laughed up a storm which cause the three pirates to stare at him oddly.
Sanji spoke first. "You okay boxer?"
"I was just thinking that even after all this, I probably should just go into isolation."
"I don't like that answer." Anya walked up to him. "I don't like what happened to you, but you have to be with people. No one can survive alone in this world. I can't say that they're nice people who overlook problems. You might have to work or do something to be in their grace."
"I don't mind," He sighed sadly. "But would they take the word of pirate?"
Luffy chuckled. "We won't know until we try."
"Perhaps," He glanced at the bundled pirates. "Get up, your pride fell, but at least you look no better than Devlin."
The tied-up group did so while glaring at Sai.
"I thought you were cool!" One of them said. "I knew you weren't man enough for us."
"Don't know why Devlin allowed you on." Another growled. "He should've left you on that island."
"HEY!" Luffy stared down at the group. "Quit it."
"Yes sir! Mr. Strawhat!" They quickly obeyed.
After that the group trekked back to the village where they came across the villagers with the tied-up Crimson Pirates. Strangely Zoro wasn't there, but Nami and Sonya stood with the group. Sanji immediately went to the navigator.
"Nami-swan, your knight in shining armor has returned! I see you brought little Sonya." He looked around. "Where's the swordsman?"
"He came back to the ship growling about villagers." Nami looked down at the blonde girl. "She wanted to know if Anya was okay."
Sanji grinned. "She vanquished the savage beast and was victorious."
The blonde girl ran over the older purple haired girl. Anya kneeled as Sonya embraced her. "Hey there!"
"I… I w-was worried." She then noticed her figure. "But your hurt."
"No pain no gain kid." The D. Sister patted her head. "He was tough and formidable, but I managed to pull a win. Did anyone call the marines?"
The mayor approached the group. "They'll be here in two hours."
Luffy grinned. "We should leave before they arrive. No need for trouble."
"Oh? I thought you would want that?" I smirked at him.
"Hmph, sometimes we fight, sometimes we run."
"B… but you can't go." Sonya stared the older girl with puppy dog eyes.
"You're so cuuute!" She hugged her. "I'm sorry, but I have to." She stopped her and then faced the crying girl. "You will get to see your family again after 2 days." Her gaze ventured toward the captain. "I got to see mine after 4 years."
"Why become a pirate?"
"To find One Piece." Luffy answered her question. "When I find it, I'll become the Pirate King."
The villagers were startled at his statement. Most of them though he was a fool or get himself killed. He would risk his life for a dream that might not be real. However, the village mayor stood out from the crowd. He stared the boy while thinking how much trouble the boy would cause. He sighed and bowed slightly to him. "Thank you, on behalf of this village I thank you. I'm sorry we can't have you stay here, but you know what the marines are like." He caught the steel chest in his eye range. "I see, whatever is in there you can take it. It caused enough people to die."
"We can?" The strawhat thanked the man.
"What is it?" asked a villager
Anya smiled and held up the scroll and the medallion. "This is proof that the ancient Dragoon Order existed, I'm going with my brother to find it."
"Isn't that a myth, that order disbanded a long time ago and their base hasn't been seen since." One of the villagers stared at the objects in hand. "How do you know those aren't fake?"
"Even if it isn't… I'll be with my brother."
Everyone sighed and knew they wouldn't change her mind. Even if she knew it
"The will of D." The mayor thought as he examined the two. "Those who have it will bring in a storm. These two are going to be big names in the world."
"What about him?" one of the villagers pointed at Sai. "Why isn't he beaten up or tied up."
"He's the underground boxer that lost his fame. Why wouldn't he join these pirates."
The purple haired girl got up and placed her hands on her hips. "No more talking! Look he may have joined the jerks, but he did it against his will. He told us what really happened. He was framed, someone wanted him to throw a fight. When he didn't do that, the person sent lies and slander his way to make sure he will never take up boxing again." She continued to stare at the group. "Mayor, look at him, this may sound petty, but give him a chance."
"…"
"Look at it this way," She walked over and patted the boxer on the back. "He's probably a very good boxer and a trainer. He can help train you guys to be able to protect yourselves. Think about it."
"Hmm, I still don't know."
"Come on!" Luffy frowned. "He hasn't killed anybody or lifted a finger on you all."
"He came here with Devlin." muttered one of the village women. "I don't know if we can trust him."
"He can stay." The villagers were completely stunned by their leader accepting the notorious boxer. What was this guy thinking letting him here?
"But Ma-."
"I know, I'm taking a risk. However," He looked at the boxer. "People will look at the outward appearance and sometimes their heritage. They judge those people based on that. Then they also judge their character." He narrowed his eyes. "I'm letting you stay here as a request from these people. If you can show me more of your character, then I can allow you stay longer. If not, you out of here."
The boxer bowed. "I accept that."
"HA!" Everyone turned to the Crimson Pirates. "You can keep him around. Boss, Yoshikido, and Leo took him out when we first saw him. Crying about being framed while stranded on some stupid island."
"Shut up mouth!" glared another next to him.
"No, why should I associate with someone who betrayed us and boss."
"Idiot if we lied to them he would get worse off."
"You guys sure are whispering." Sanji took a puff of his cigarette. "We can hear you."
"Damn now look what you did!"
"I don't care, I refuse for him to be one of us." Sai could've sworn the man was winking in his direction. Was he helping him?
"There you have it," Anya clapped. "He's good."
"Yes, but his other history is another factor." The mayor gazed at the group. "He can work and help. He has to teach the villagers how to be strong enough to defend. That's his punishment."
One of the child smiled. "Really I can be a boxer."
An 18 year old man seemed to get the idea. "Hn, as long I can punch mountains."
Most agreed while others seemed to not like the new arrangements. It was something that they would have to get used to, but Sai will have to be kept an eye on to make sure he does not start harming folks. Sanji, with the chest, and Nami went back to the ship while leaving Luffy and Anya with the villagers.
"Anything you need?" asked the mayor.
"I think those guys are tied nice and tight." Anya crossed her arms. "Plus, there are still unconscious men back at the explosion site. They're all harmless."
Mayor nodded and looked at Sai. "I want you take to take a team to get the rest of the crew. Remember no nonsense."
The boxer agreed and asked if there would be people who would come him with. 20 women and men joined him to go the forest and round up the rest of the pirates.
Sonya gave Anya one last hug. "When you get your bounty I will hang it on my wall."
"Nah, you shouldn't admire a pirate." She reached into her bag and pulled out a compass. "Take this to remember me by. Learn how to fight to. Guards aren't going to protect you. It's better to take up a sword or practice martial arts."
"… I don't know."
The purple haired girl winked. "Give it a shot or join the marines."
"If I do that then I might have to fight you. I don't want to do that."
"Hn, that's true, but do something. Become a stronger person, Sonya."
"Okay, thank you Anya-nii."
"… pinky swear." She held up her pinky. "We're sisters for the life. No matter what."
"Right… sisters for life." The young girl did so to. They connected their pinky fingers and made a lifelong promise to be sisters for life. After making the promise, Anya stood up and walked away. Tears started to drip down both girls' faces. Luffy walked next to her and put his arm around her. The villagers watched them go silently. Sai watched him go and prayed that while on their journey that each member would find what they seek.
Anya's p.o.v
The ship quickly sailed off after I climbed aboard. I watched as the island continued to fade further as we drifted on the sea. I spent two weeks on that island and I felt I made new memories. All of them were me working, playing with the children, searching for buried treasure, and beating up jerks. I'm on adorable ship, Going Merry, with my brother and my new friends. I am now an official member of this crew. I am on the crew of the future pirate king. I'm so excited that I'm getting goosebumps. Sanji brought out drinks for us to celebrate me being on the crew. Luffy raised his drink the air. "Cheers to our new crew member. My twin sister ANYA!"
"YEAH!"
I laughed with joy in my heart. This will be a great adventure.
A/N: The only filler from the anime that I might add here will be the G8 arc as for movies. Strong World is a plus. Plus an original arc after G8.
Anya, attacks corporate her shield, legs, and her spear. Yes, her attacks are themes to Day, night, dancing, and dragons. Everybody else has themes. Zoro's attacks has to do with demons, gods and whatnot. Ironic since he does not believe in Gods or dragons.
The order will just be an order. They're like the knights of the round table.
