A/N: I need some advice pertaining to a review I got. Before I updated the last chapter I got a review from trollking01. It was almost the standard "You need to fix your grammar get a beta" reviews... I'm used to these as thanks to being disabled in multiple ways (MD plus bi-polar gives me a combination of not wanting a beta for various reasons) but there was one line that that it put into jerky territory with "My eyes are bleeding." (check if you don't believe me). So because of the combination of being named "trollking01" and saying that my story to make their eyes bleed I assumed that person was a troll. I gave them a dickish response thinking that. I was wrong and they are legitimate author... and they blocked me after responding to my message. There is a way to apologize for my mistake which is to do a guest review for one of their stories should I apologize because of the mistake of thinking they were a troll or should I just leave it as it is... I also have a bit of a guilt complex thanks to my bipolar disorder so this is weighing a bit heavily on me...
Also this chapter will introduce a relatively minor story arc... which will take a while to unfold. I'm just saying now...
Chapter 27: The Wrath of Sterry
In a certain Manson in High Town of Dawn Island, a teenaged boy was drinking the finest of campaign. Waiting for word for that day.
He had a plan… now he loved his adopted father (as much as he could), but his father was almost obsessed with getting his real son back.
He also fear what his adopted father might do if his real son returned.
He might change his mind and give the contract to the real son, granted the real son now had a very infamous reputation.
And honestly he preferred it that way, his adopted brother was some pathetic pirate and rumor was started helping out the Revolutionary Army.
Having him grow up to be someone important and stamp out that trash personally would make for an awesome story.
But no… his adoptive father couldn't stand that his son was a pirate and possibly a revolutionary. He had to stamp that out and turn him into a proper noble.
His adoptive father had plans going… and he didn't like them. It didn't matter if his adoptive brother was in the Grand Line, he was coming home whether he liked it or not.
However he himself had the perfect plan to make sure he never returned to the island.
HE was going to send a message to his adopted brother.
However to put it nicely he over estimated his own abilities and under estimated the abilities of who he was going to attack.
Meanwhile at the tree house Luffy and Star woke up. It had been a couple says since Star accidentally destroyed the police car.
Star used her wand to create a change of clothes (which were identical to an outfit she already had), and they went to catch some breakfast.
"All right! Breakfast!" cheered Star.
"Let's see what we find!" cheered Luffy.
After finding some crocodiles they hunted one and killed it.
After cooking the meat, they went to explore the island they've done it plenty of times before but it was still fun.
However both of them realized someone was watching them.
"Someone's watching us." Said Luffy.
"Yeah I noticed it too." Said Star.
Both of them looked at each other.
"They're not very good at it." Laughed Luffy.
"No kidding." Sighed Star.
The person who was watching them began to sweat.
That was when Star and Luffy started to play rock paper scissors.
Star was the one to win.
"Sparkly Smoke Bomb!" called out Star using her wand in the direction of the person watching them.
The person watching them saw a smoke bomb thrown at him then exploded with a large explosion of sparkles and pink smoke.
That person was Sterry.
"Oh it's you…" said Luffy and Star in perfect unison.
"What's that supposed to mean!" yelled Sterry.
"Why are you following us!" said Star.
"To send a message to Sabo!" yelled Sterry.
"What?" asked Luffy.
"Father wants Sabo back home and he has plans…" said Sterry.
"Okay… we'll tell him that." Said Star looking at him rather flatly, "Thanks…"
"That's not what I meant!" yelled Sterry.
"So you're going to have us beaten up to send him a message to not come back?" asked Star.
Luffy was laughing.
"You're already a more ideal son to Outlook than Sabo. Plus Sabo only comes to the island if he needs to…" said Star.
"Which is why when those two pieces of trash that he cares about gets injured, he'll come back." Said Sterry, "Then he'll get the message."
"Wow… you're stupid." Said Luffy.
Star started laughing while Sterry got angry.
"Hey I'll have you know I am considered a genius!" yelled Sterry.
"By noble standards." Said Star.
"Look I can't allow Sabo to ruin my future!" said Sterry.
"Oh yeah… you're third in line for the throne." Said Star, "He heard."
"That's just a rumor!" yelled Sterry, "I am merely betrothed to the princess of this island! Once I get married then I'll be in line for the throne! Then I'll be able to become king!"
"So basically not yet but going to be…" said Star.
"Okay!" said Luffy.
"But still! I can't have father change his mind for the real son!" yelled Sterry.
He took out a knife, "Have at you!"
Luffy walked over to him than then slapped him.
"Hey!" yelled Sterry.
Luffy slapped him again and again.
"Yeah… you're really pathetic!" said Luffy.
"Did you come here alone or did you bring guards?" asked Star.
"I came here alone! You're pathetic pieces of trash." Said Sterry.
Star began to slap him around much like Luffy did.
"Wow… Luffy's right, you are the pathetic one." Said Star.
"Oh I see how that is." Said Sterry
"What?" asked Star.
"Sorry, but I'm not interested in you." Said Sterry.
"You think I'm interested… in you?" asked Star unsure how to reposed to all this.
"Of course I'm a noble, and if I remember correctly you used to dress up like a princess!" said Sterry, "Well I hate to break it to you but I'm engaged to a real princess."
Star looked at Luffy. Who shrugged in response.
"Rainbow Fist Punch!" called out Star using a strangely green version of the spell… on his nuts.
Sterry fell to the ground in pain.
"Listen here!" said Star, "First off I like someone else! And he's not you! And second even if I was completely boy crazy, that I would any boy or man that wasn't a little kid or a really old man… I wouldn't even be interested in you one bit! I know this for a fact! So don't you dare say that."
Sterry nodded, though he didn't believe a word she was saying due to the fact he was too full of himself to think otherwise.
"I have an idea." Said Luffy with a big grin, "Get some rope!"
Star smiled knowing what the plan was.
She magiced up some rope and they tied him to a tree.
"How dare you pieces of trash tie me to this tree!" yelled Sterry.
"Tell us what's Outlook is going to do." Said Luffy.
"What?" asked Sterry.
"You honestly think we want him to get his way?" asked Star.
"Tell us what he's going to do." Said Luffy.
"I don't know." Said Sterry, "But he's saving up a lot of money for two plans I know of."
"What?" asked Star.
"One simple and one complicated…" said Sterry, "I don't know anything else!"
"You being honest?" asked Luffy.
"I am! I am really!" said Sterry.
Luffy punched Sterry in the head.
"What was that for!" yelled Sterry.
"Because you're an idiot." Said Luffy.
"Hey! I already told you I'm a genius!" yelled Sterry.
"We beat you up when we were kids! And you're a year older than us!" said Star.
"What! But that was when we were nothing more than children!" yelled Sterry.
"So then you haven't been training since then." Said Luffy.
"Why would I need to train?" asked Sterry.
Star began to slap him around.
"Stop that!" yelled Sterry.
"That's why" said Star.
"Sabo could kick your ass worse than we could." Laughed Luffy.
Sterry was gritting his teeth in anger.
"This plan was stupid and you are stupid." Said Star.
"Come let's just leave him!" said Luffy.
"Good idea! He's not going to tell us anything!" said Star.
"Hey don't just leave me here!" yelled Sterry.
"Rope eating tiny caterpillar!" called out Star.
A tiny caterpillar appeared and began to eat the rope. But because of it's size it was a very slow process.
"You'll get free." Said Star, "Eventually…"
"Hey!" yelled Sterry, "You pieces of trash! Come back here!"
"Should we tell Sabo?" asked Luffy.
"Of course… he should at least know that Outlook's going to pull something." Said Star.
The next day, Star returned to the Diaz house.
"I'm back!" called out Star as she returned to the living room.
"Star!" said Marco from upstairs, he limbed down the stairs and hugged her.
"I missed you too!" said Star, "So did anything happen?"
"Not really…" said Marco, "Just worrying about you."
"Eh… everything fine, just went hunting, looked at the stars, explored the island, got threatened by Sabo's fake brother." Said Star.
"Wait… what was that last one." Said Marco.
Star told him what Sterry tried to pull and told them as well. All while rolling on her bed, it was something she missed during the few days.
"We told Sabo in case you're wondering." Said Star, "He brushed it off as he has other things to worry about."
"Okay." Said Marco with a shrug, "If it's nothing to worry about, I mean if Sabo's fake brother's plan was pathetic what's Outlook's plans are probably going to be."
"I guess so…" said Marco.
"Oh bed I missed you!" said Star rolling around on her bed.
Marco laughed at Star.
Though a small part of him was still worried about that plan… even if no one else was worried. Though it would a while until either of the man's plans would come fruition so hopefully there was nothing to worry about…
Next Time: Star's wand continue to act weird. As one of spells is latterly behaving strangely. What will happen it becomes completely destructive? Find out next time!
