A Wild Card in the Big Blue

East Blue

No Ones P.O.V

Six as he walked into the lounge on the Going Marry, seeing the rest of the pirate crew he was apart of. Nami was looking over a map, Zoro was napping in a corner, Luffy and Usopp were goofing off, and Sanji was cooking breakfast. It as been about a day since the pirate group had left Nami's home and things have been pretty quiet. The Courier explored the little ship and found it quite nice, it wasn't big like the other ships he's seen, but it was nice enough to be comfortable.

"I just finish putting the trees in." Six said as he wiped his dirt covered hands with a rage. "Still find it a little strange that a ship has a growing orange field. But hey, it makes us look unique." He said as he sat down at the dinner table.

Nami looked to the Courier with a small smile. "Thanks for doing that Six."

The Courier just waved her off. "It's no problem Red, it felt good to plant some trees for once." He said with a smile before looking over to Sanji. "How long before we can start eating Sanji?"

"It'll take a while, I just started." Sanji said as he continued to cook without looking back.

Six nodded before he started to look around. "Anyone seen Stripe?" Six asked everyone.

"I think I saw him exploring the ship." Usopp said as played with Luffy.

Six nodded before with a slight worry look on his face. "Well I better call him, little guy can't swim. Last thing I want is for him to fall overboard." He said before letting out a whistling. It took about a minute but Stripe ran into the Lounging area and made his way to Six before climbing onto the Courier's shoulder. "Hey buddy." He said with a small smile as he rubbed his chin.

Nami looked up from her map and gave Stripe a questioning look. "You know, I've been meaning to ask you about Stripe." Nami said grabbing everyone's attention. "What exactly is he?"

Luffy suddenly stood up from the floor with his hand raised. "Oh I know, Six told me Stripe is called a Deathclaw!"

"Deathclaw?" Nami and Usopp said in confusion.

Six nodded with a smile as he rubbed the bottom of Stripe's chin, making his purr. "Yup, Deathclaws are native to my home, and let me tell you, there name is not for show. There some of the most dangerous creatures back home."

"What, this little guy?" Usopp said while folding his arms and tilting his head. "I mean sure it look's like a demon, but it's so small."

Stripe suddenly gained a depressed look as he slumped on Six's shoulder, making the Courier laugh a bit. "Stripe doesn't really like to be reminded he's small." He said with a sweat drop before he turned to the long nose. "Also, a normal Deathclaw stands around 12 to 15 feet tall."

"What! Are you saying he's going to grow to 15 feet tall!?" Usopp yelled in fear while Nami looked shocked, both imagining a large Stripe trying to ride on Six's shoulder.

"Cool!" Luffy said in an exited voice. "If he get's that big we can ride him!"

Six gave a small laugh. "Sorry to tell you this, but Stripe's a special case. You see he's going to stay this size for the rest of his life." He said, getting a sad look from the Deathclaw and a pout from Luffy.

"Thank god." Nami said with a sigh before she noticed Stripe's sad look. "Well you look cuter this size Stripe." She said with a smile, getting a smile out of Stripe.

"But are you really telling the truth about Deathclaws beings 15 feet tall?" Usopp asked while he narrowed his eyes at Six. "Are you lying!?" He shouted dramatically while pointing a finger at Six.

The Courier had a thoughtful look on his face before snapping his fingers. "I think I got proof." Six said with a grin as he held out his arm.

"Fist of Rawr!"

A second later a large Deathclaw gauntlet appeared on Six's right arm. "This is the hand of a full grown Alpha Deathclaw." Six said with a grin as he held up the weapon.

Both Usopp and Nami looked scared while Luffy looked at the weapon with interest. "Put that thing away, it's creepy!" Usopp and Nami yelled in fear.

Six shrugged and the weapon disappeared. "Don't underestimate a Deathclaw's claws, there just as sharp as swords." Six said getting Stripe to puff up with pride.

Luffy suddenly appeared next to Six while looking him. "Hey Six, how do you make all those weapons appear and disappear?" He asked with a confused look.

That question seemed to grab the other crewmembers attention. "Now that I think about it, you never did say how you were able to do that." Usopp said while rubbing his chin. "Is it some kind of Devil Fruit?"

Six shook his head. "No Devil Fruit, never even seen one before." He said before brining up his Pip-Boy. "This is the reason I can take and store weapon. It's called a Pip-Boy 3000, Modal X."

"Eh, how dose it work?" Luffy asked as he looked at the amber screen.

The Courier shrugged. "I don't now the exact details, but from what the creator told me it can atomize anything I touch as long as it's not living organic or too big and heavy." He said before flicking through the screens. "It can also keep track of my health and notes I have. Right now I have it on voice activation, meaning all I have to do is call out the name of the thing I want and it appears."

"Amazing, all that in such a thing." Nami said as she looked over the Pip-Boy with some amazement, along with Usopp and Luffy. "I've never heard of such a device."

"Not a surprise," Six said as he pulled his arm back. "This Pip-Boy is the only one of it's kind, the creator only could make one. I got it while on my travels when I met it's maker."

"That's right, you said your a Courier, right Six?" Usopp asked while rubbing this nose.

That made Six pause for a moment before rubbing his chin. "Well actually, my actual name is Courier Six." He said getting a confused look from everyone.

"'Courier Six' is your real name, what kind of name is that. Did you give it to yourself?" Luffy asked with a stumped look on his face.

Six was quiet for a long moment with a thoughtful look on his face. "Well that's a bit of a story friends, and a long one." He said with a sigh before looking at everyone. "You see the reason I call myself Courier Six is because I don't know my real name."

That made nearly everyone in the room pause for a moment before looking at Six, except Zoro who was still asleep.

"You don't know your real name?" Usopp asked with a shocked expression. "How could you forget your own name?"

The Courier leaned forward, took off his hat, and pulled his hair up. "See those two scars on the right side of my forehead."

The three at the table all leaned forward and got a good look at two scar marks on Six's head, right above the hair line.

"Yeah, what happen, you hit your head?" Luffy asked as he poked his scar.

"I was shot twice in the head before being left in a shallow grave." Six said with a completely straight face as he pulled back.

"...EHHHH!" Luffy, Usopp, and Nami yelled at once, there eyes popping out of there heads. Even Sanji nearly dropped his knife and Zoro woke up. "You got shot in the head!?"

Six nodded with a grin on his face. "Yup, twice, execution style. See I was to deliver a very important package when someone stole it from me. Instead of just kicking my ass and taking the goods they decide to kill me to make sure I didn't talk. The good news is I didn't die, but the bad news is I lost all my memories."

All the pirates on the ship just starred at Six for a long moment.

"So you can't remember anything?" Usopp asked, a shocked look still on his face.

Six just waved his hand with a grin. "Not a thing, I was the equivalent to a child when I woke up in a doctors office."

"...You seem awfully nonchalant about losing your memories." Sanji said before he went back to cooking.

Six just gave a shrug. "Back home a lot of things suck, it wouldn't have been a surprise if my life up until that point had been uneventful." Six said with a sigh before he gave Luffy, Nami, and Usopp a big smile. "Let's change the subject, my past is depressing enough. How about I look at the ships logbook, see what you guys have done up until now?"

"Logbook?" Luffy said with a tilt of his head.

Nami shook her hand in front of herself. "None of these guys have been doing something like that, and I wasn't officially apart of the crew so I didn't bother." Nami said with a small sigh. "I'll start working on the Logbook as soon as I can."

Six had a thoughtful look before he looked to Nami. "How about I do the logbook?" Six offered, getting a shocked look from Nami. "I can hear what you guys been up to until now and it'll give me something to do."

"Are you sure?" Nami asked, still a little surprised that Six was willing to do writing, he seemed more like Zoro and Luffy.

"Yeah, it's not a problem." Six said with a grin as a pen appeared in his hands. "So you got anything to write on?"

Nami was quiet for a moment before reaching down into the bag next to her. After a moment she pulled out a red book that at the word 'Logbook' on the cover. "Sorry, it's just a shock you want to write. You don't seem the type."

Six just snorted as he took the book. "I get that a lot, and for the record I like to read books." He said with a cheeky grin before he opened the logbook. "So let's start off with the captain of this ship. Tell us how you started your journey to become the pirate king?"

Luffy had a big grin on his face as he bounced in his seat. "Well as soon as I turned 17 I set out on my journey to become the Pirate King!" Luffy said before he went on to explain the beginning of his journey.

Apparently not long after Luffy left his home town, Foosha Village, the Rubber-man got caught in a whirlpool. In order to survive Luffy stuffed himself in a barrel before he was picked up by a ship. But again the pirate's luck was against him as the ship he was taken onto was then soon invaded by pirates. Luffy was able to beat them all easily including the captain, 'Iron Mace' Alvida who had a bounty of 5 million. Luffy also mentioned meeting a kid name Coby on the ship and how the kid was working for Alvida against his will, and how the kid actually had a dream to become a Marine Admiral. So after the kid grow some back and talked back to the captain Luffy took the kid with him. Nami also mentioned how she was stealing some treasure from the ship and first saw Luffy as she was running away.

While sailing away from the ship Luffy told how he was looking for Zoro to be apart of his crew of pirates, and with Cody's help Luffy got to find the Island Zoro was on.

"Well that's the captain's view," Six said as he finished everything down. "Now it's your turn Zoro." Six said as he looked to the resting swordsman. "How did Luffy get you to join his 'crew' at the time."

The swordsman snorted with his eyes closed. "The bastard blackmailed me into joining his crew." Zoro said with small glare at Luffy, who just laughed.

Zoro didn't give much to his story. He only told how he got held up in a place called Shells town after killing a wolf that tried the attack a little girl. Apparently the wolf belong to an arrogant man who happen to be the son of the Marian captain who ran the place, Axe-Hand Morgan. Long story short Zoro made a bet with the man and ended up tied to a cross and was left to be left there for one month, or the girl and her family would be attacked. After the ninth day Zoro met Luffy and the pirate asked him to join his crew, which the swordsman refused. Luffy then went on to say how he heard Morgan's son bragging how he was going to execute Zoro in three day's just for laughs, which caused Luffy to punch the man. After finding out the truth Luffy rushed back to Zoro and explained the situation, and that Luffy would only help him if he became a part of his crew. So with the options to either die or continue his dream as a pirate. Obviously Zoro joined Luffy and the rubber-man presided to beat Axe-Man Morgan after the captain challenged Luffy and threaten to kill everyone. So Zoro joined Luffy's crew as the ships swordsman and the two left the town, leaving Coby behind to complete his dream.

Once Six was finishing writing everything down he turned to Zoro with a raised brow. "Did you really think you could survive a whole month without food or water?"

Zoro just shrugged with a yawn. "It wasn't like a was going to die before I became the best swordsman."

Six just snorted as he finished the last sentence in the Logbook before he looked up. "So who was the next to meet?"

"Oh, that was Nami, we met her after I fell from the sky after a bird carried me off!" Luffy said with a small.

"...Yeah, I'm going to need more on that." Six said as he turned to Nami, who gave a small snort.

Nami went on to explain how she was running from some pirate henchman when Luffy came crashing down from the sky in front of them. Seeing an opportunity Nami used Luffy as a distraction to get away, but was shocked to see Luffy beat them all easily. Seeing another opportunity Nami tried to form a partnership with Luffy, until she found out he was a pirate, so she tricked Luffy and turned him over to the captain of the pirates that were chasing her, who happen to be 'Buggy the Star Clown' with a 15 million bounty. Nami then pretended to join his crew so she could have an opportunity to steal his gold, and it would of worked if Buggy didn't order Nami to kill Luffy to prove her loyalty. Nami's conscience got the better of her and she tried to save Luffy instead, luckily Zoro came just in time to save them both, while Nami used Buggy's own weapon against the pirates. But not before Zoro got stabbed in the back by Buggy after the clown revealed his Devil Fruit power. Apparently Buggy had ate the 'Chop-Chop Fruit' becoming a Chop-man, allowing him to become nearly invincible to slash attacks and could chop his own body up and move them around in the air. After the group escaped they re-grouped and tried to get Luffy out of the cage he was trapped in. Long story short Luffy beat Buggy and convinced Nami to be his navigator, only until they reached the Grand Line.

Six wrote everything down before he gave Nami a grin. "Stealing from a 15 million Beli pirate, pretty ballsy Nami." He said, getting a grin out the young woman.

"Ah, Nami-Swan is so beautiful when she smiles~" Sanji said in a love sick voice as he continued to cook.

Six rolled his eyes before turning to Usopp. "That only leaves you, so care to tell us how you became apart of this crew?"

Usopp puffed out his chest dramatically as he put one foot on the table. "Well I was once the captain of 8000 men and have been on 100 of adventures!" He said with a dramatic flare.

The Courier gave him a smirk. "Really, I once lead a army of robots against a bunch of slavers." He said getting a laugh out of Luffy, if only they knew. "Now would you mind telling me what really happened?"

Usopp gave a small pout before he started to speak. The long nose of the ship came from a place called Syrup Village and lived there most of his life doing random pranks on the villagers. Usopp met Luffy after him and his crew washed up on the shore of the island. Wanting to protect his home Usopp came up with a bunch of lies to try to get them to leave, but the pirate, except Luffy, easily saw through them. Luffy seemed to actually know Usopp's dad who was also a pirate a part of a crew, shocking Usopp greatly at the time. After some talking Usopp treated the small crew of pirates to some food at a local restaurant after finding out they weren't bad. While they ate Luffy asked Usopp where they could get a ship and Usopp tried to dodge the question before running out, causing the pirates to fallow him, with the help of some of the local kids. Fallowing the long nose the pirates found out he was friends with a very wealthy girl his age named Kaya, who also happened to be very sick, but had to see her in secret since the head butler hated Usopp.

After getting into a fight with the butler Usopp and the pirates were kicked off the property and headed back to the village, but it wasn't long before Usopp and Luffy saw the head butler skulk off into the forest casing the two to fallow him. It was then that they learned the truth about the head butler who met up with a strange man, the butler was in fact a pirate captain named 'Kuro of a Hundred Plans' who once had a bounty of 14 million but was reported to have been long dead. He now had one big plan to take Kaya's money and destroy the village. Usopp wanted to warn the village but couldn't do to his reputation of always lying, so that only left Usopp with the option to make a last stand. Obviously Luffy was going to help, and in turn Zoro and Nami as well. After some poor planning done by Usopp and Zoro sliding down a oil hill and Luffy getting lost, the pirate group faced off against the Black Cat Pirates. After holding off the 30 members and the vice Captain, who was named Jango, Kuro revealed is real intention of starting over from scratch by killing everyone that knows he's alive. That didn't stop Luffy from beating the man, but what Six found a big surprise was how Luffy described Kuro using Soru, but wasn't able to see with it. Once everything was settle and Kaya learning the truth the young heiress gave Luffy and his crew the very ship they were writing on now, the Going Marry. After Usopp came to them to say goodbye the crew just invited in on to the ship, already considering him a member.

This one took a little while longer to write then the others, but the Courier got all of the details down. "Well that's everyone, I'll put in my parts from there before giving it to you Nami." Six said before closing the book and noticing something. "Huh." He said while looking at the cover of the books.

"What is it?" Nami asked with a slight tilt of her head.

"...What do we call ourselves?" Six asked, again grabbing everyone's attention. "I mean every pirate crew calls themselves something, but most of the time the pirates just go after the captains name. Like for example the Buggy Pirates, the Krieg Pirates, the Arlong Pirates, you see where I'm getting at. So I was wondering what is this pirate crew's name." He said before pointing a finger at Luffy. "And I swear to god kid if you think about calling us 'The Luffy Pirates' or 'The Monkey Pirates' I will punch you with Love & Hate." Six said with a light threat.

Everyone has a thoughtful on there face for a few seconds about what they want.

"What about The Sword Pirates?"

"The Lady Loving Pirates?"

"The Meat Pirates!"

"Those are terrible names!" Nami, Six, and Usopp yelled at once.

Six gave a sigh as he leaned back into his chair and looked up. At that moment he remembered the very flag they had above them.

"Hey, I got an idea." Six said grabbing everyone's attention. "Well I couldn't help but notice that our ship's flag has a strew-hat on it, so what about calling ourselves the Straw-Hat Pirates?" He said making everyone look thoughtful. "Because otherwise we're going to have to change our flag."

Everyone was quiet for a moment before they all let out a small smile.

"I like it," Nami said as she looked at Luffy's hat. "It makes sense in a way since that hat is Luffy's greatest treasure." She said making Luffy give a cheerful laugh.

"Yosh, we are now known as the Straw-Hat Pirates!" Luffy shouted with a cheer, getting a small cheer from everyone else. "Sanji, give me meat!"

"Yeah, yeah." The cook said with a small snort before bringing a plate of food to the table. "Everyone dig in."

"Thanks for the food!"

After eating breakfast, and trying to hold Luffy off from eating the other crews food, the rest of the crew headed out to enjoy the sun. Zoro was relaxing off to the side, Nami was arguing with the News Coo about the price of a news paper, Sanji was guarding Nami's oranges from Luffy, who was trying to get one. Usopp and Six were off to the side not far from Nami, the sniper of the ship working on some new ammunition for his slingshot called 'Tabasco Star' and the Courier working on Arlong's old sword the 'Saw-Shaped Sword', which was now called 'Jaws'.

As soon as Nami finished arguing with the News Coo the bird flew away, leaving a peeved Nami behind.

"What're you getting so riled up about? It's just a news paper." Usopp said as he worked on his special ammunition.

Nami just rolled here eyes with a calm look on her face. "Daily expenses all add up, don't you know!? There is no way I'm going to become a penniless pirate!"

Six gave a shrug as he sharpened a blade on Jaws. "She's right you now, if I had to buy every bullet I own I would be flat broke after every fight. That's why I make my own ammunition."

That seemed to grab Usopp's attention. "You make your own ammunition?"

Six nodded with a grin on his face. "Oh yeah, see all my guns use bullets you can't find anywhere else, so I need to make my own." Six said before rubbing his chin. "After we go to the next island I need to get a few things to make a Reloading Bench."

"Have you ever made any unique ammunition?" Usopp asked with a little excitement in his voice.

Six had a thoughtful look on his face. "A few times, mostly shotgun ammo since it's easier to make unique ammunition for."

"You think you can help me a bit?" Usopp asked as he brought up some of the tools he was working with.

Six looked over some of the tools and gave a shrug. "Sure, give me a second." He said before putting Jaws away. "So what are you working on?"

Usopp soon held up a red bottle in front of Six. "Well I was thinking about a new ammunition called 'Tabasco Star' where I fire it into enemies eyes and render them helpless." He said with a grin

Six had a thoughtful look on his face before opening his mouth, but out of the corner of his eye he saw something red fly at them. Acting fast Six took the bottle in Usopp's hand before pushing the sniper onto his back. A second later Luffy came flying past where Usopp was sitting.

Once Luffy landed he sat up and glared at Sanji, who was standing in front of the three orange trees.

"Oh come on! I just wanted one." Luffy said in a whinny voice at Sanji.

"Absolutely not!" Sanji denied like a good guard dog. "These are Nami's beloved orange trees! I won't allow anyone to lay a single finger on them!"

Luffy rolled his eyes with a small pout. "I know how important they are to Nami, that's why I was only going to take just one."

Those words made Nami pause from opening her news paper before letting out a sigh. "Luffy, I'll make you a deal." He said grabbing the rubber-man's attention. "I'll let out have one a day if you promise to only one, got it." She said with an even look.

Luffy gave a big grin an nodded his head. "Got it Nami."

Red gave a small smile before she walked over to her orange tree, plucked an orange off, and throw it to Luffy. "I'm keeping you to that promise captain." She said while Sanji pouted, not getting Nami's attention.

Luffy caught the fruit with a grin. "Got it." He said before eating the orange.

Six just shook his head as Usopp sat up, a hand over his chest. "I think I just saw my life flash before my eyes." He said, making the Courier snort.

"I'm pretty sure this would of blinded that flash." He said as he handed the red bottle to Usopp, who paled a little. "Now what were we talking about?"

That seemed to snap Usopp out of his thoughts. "My new Tabasco Star."

"Right," Six said with a small nod as he gained his thoughtful look. "Well it'll be definitely useful for blinding enemies, but a strong enough opponent could just push through the pain." He said before looking at Usopp's weapon at the him. "I've been meaning to ask you this, but why do you use a slingshot, gun would be more effective."

Usopp looked a little self conscious as he brought up his slingshot. "It's just something I always used, since I was a kid. I never really felt fully comfortable using guns." He said before a grin crossed his face. "Plus I can use a bunch of different ammunitions with this whenever I want."

Six nodded his head to the explanation and he could understand. "I get it, so what kind of ammunition do you have right now?"

Usopp looked thoughtful for a second. "Well I have a few, like my Lead Star, Flame Star, and Exploding Star."

Six nodded his head at the ammunitions Usopp mentioned as he saw Nami sat down in a lawn chair next to them. "Not bad considering it's all just for one weapon." He said before looking the equipment over. "Have you thought about larger ammunitions that effect the environment?" He said getting a confused look out of Usopp. "Like ammo that puts spikes on the floor, or one shot releases flammable gas and then you use your flame star to ignite it." Six offered.

Usopp's eyes widen in amazement before he got out a small note book and started to write everything down. Six gave a small laugh as he saw write everything down. Suddenly two pieces of papers landed not far from where Usopp, Six, and Luffy were from Nami's paper, making them all down at it. What they shocked them all.

"Ah..."

"AGHH..."

"AH!"

"...Fuck."

"AHHHHHHHH!"

Luffy grabbed the paper and brought it up with a smile, revealing it was a bounty with his name on it.

"Looks like we're wanted men now! It says 30 million Beli!" Luffy said with an exited voice.

(WANTED, Dead or Alive: Straw-Hat Luffy, Bounty of 30 Million Beli)

"We'll I get you having a bounty," Six said as he grabbed the second paper on the floor.

(WANTED, Dead or Alive: Wild Card Six, Bounty of 20 Million Beli)

"But why the hell do I have one?"

Six's wanted poster had a picture of him with Stripe on his shoulder and Lucky pointed at the camera with his left hand and the Mysterious Magnum in his other hand, also pointed at the camera, a big grin on Six's face. He was warring his Elite Riot Armor and Sheriff's Hat but was missing his Lucky Shades he normally wore.

Usopp looked at Six's bounty with a raised brow. "Well you did send that Marine captain flying and took out most of his men."

Six just snorted as he put the bounty away. "Well it's his fault for being a prick."

Nami was depressed about having two wanted members on the ship, thinking both Marines and bounty hunters would be after them. Usopp was bragging about being in Luffy's picture and Sanji was pouting about not having a bounty yet.

"With this, we can't afford to just loiter around the East Blue any longer." Nami said with a slightly worry look on his face.

Six nodded his head as he stood up. "She's right, we have some of the highest bounties in East Blue, and that going to attract stronger enemies. Ones we can't handle."

"Alright, men! Let's head straight for the Grand Line!" Luffy declared.

"Aye, Aye!" Sanji and Usopp cheered.

Nami sighed as she rubbed her head. "They don't even understand the danger."

Six gave a small laugh. "Well you should know by now not to underestimate anyone on the crew, I mean Luffy did take down Arlong." He said making Nami pause. "Also it might be a while before we run into any Ma-... You know what, I'm going to shut up now." Six said with a deadpan look as he stared at the direction they was heading, seeing a Marine ship about to pass them. At the same time Sanji went to go fix lunch.

Luffy just sat on the edge of the ship as he stared at the ship that passed them, Usopp also right behind him. Six got a good look at the ship and saw it was in ruff condition, with poor patchwork all over it. As soon as the passed them someone called for the ship to do a 180 and was now sailing after the Going Marry.

"Are those pirates, using a scraped military boat?" Luffy asked as he stared at the ship chasing them.

"How wasteful, the Marines throwing away a scrapped boat." Usopp said, for once not shaking in fear.

"Not likely, I mean if they were pirates they would be trying to lay low, not chase us." Six said as he saw the ship stop next to them. "Also I don't think pirates would dress like Marines, unless they were in hiding."

Once the ship stopped next to the Going Marry a very familiar figure stomped on the railing of the ship. "This is not a scrap ship, and we are not pirates!"

Standing on the railing was none other then Fullbody, the Marine captain.

"Are you idiot's blind? How could you forget Fullbody the 'Iron Fist'?" Fullbody yelled over.

A look of realization crossed Luffy's face. "Ah, it's that Marine ossan! Are you in trouble, do you need us to save you?" Luffy said with pure sincerity and Six felt the kid would actually help them.

That seemed to piss Fullbody off more as he shook with anger. "Stop kidding around! Destany has placed you into my hands!" He shouted before bringing up two fliers. "Monkey D. Luffy, Courier Six, you two are under arrest!"

Luffy didn't seemed the least bit fazed. "Cool! My picture looks good." Luffy said with pride.

"And the back of my head looks good too!" Usopp throw in as well.

Six turned to Stripe on his shoulder and looked a little more prideful seeing and puffed out his chest as he saw the picture with him and Six.

Fullbody seemed to gain a grin on his face. "Dead or Alive." He said in a cheeky voice before pulling back and rising his hand. "Load cannon!"

A Marine got behind a rusty broken down cannon and started to aim it at the ship.

Nami looked over from her lawn chair with an annoyed look on her face. "There so noisy, what's going on?" She said while looking up from her paper.

"What're they doing, attacking us?" Luffy asked as Usopp started to shake in fear.

Six rolled his eyes a little. "I think that's implied when they aim there cannon at us."

Luffy grinned as he pulled his arm back. "Alright, let me at them, I'll bounce it right back."

But before the captain could do anything Zoro came up from behind. "Luffy, I'll handle it." He said in an almost board tone, at the same time Usopp pulled Luffy back.

Six didn't move from his spot and just watched as Zoro unsheathe his blade as the cannon fired. In one motion Zoro easily cut the cannon ball into two pieces, sending them flying into the water behind him, impressing the Courier greatly. Luffy and Usopp were also impressed by the skill while the Marines were shocked by the skills.

Zoro put his sword away while giving the Marines a flat glare. "You shouldn't bug people that are trying to take a nap."

That just made Six snort. "Then maybe you should sleep in a bed." He muttered.

Fullbody shook in fear before gripping his fist. "How many shots can you stand!? Fire!"

Six was about to bring out one of his guns before he saw the cannon start to shake, and the creaks around the edges. "Um, I wouldn't do that if I were you." Six warned, but was ignored.

A second later the cannon exploded right on the Marines, covering them into smoke and soot.

"The cannon had a creak in it, fucking up the firing big time." Six said with a snort.

"Yeah, that's definitely not good." Usopp agreed.

Suddenly the scrap Marine ship hit Marry and Fullbody jumped over. "Listen you brats, don't look down upon an Ex-Captain of the Marines! We'll defeat you in close combat! Let's go men!" He said as he charged onto the ship with his men behind him.

Six stepped forward while stretching his arms above his head. "I'll take care of these guys, it'll be a good workout." He said getting a nod from the other pirates.

Fullbody charged at Six with his arm pulled back, going for a heavy punch.

"Golden Gloves."

Six's boxing gloves appeared on his hands as Fullbody throw his punch, but Six easily dodged it by moving his head to the right.

"Jolt Blow."

Sending a weak, but fast punch Six hit directly into Fullbody's chin, knocking him to the ground in a daze. The Jolt Blow was very similar to the Legion Assault, only using more speed and putting the full weight of his body behind the blow to make it more destructive, the downside it's more reckless and if missed could leave Six wide open.

When the other Marines got close after there captain fell Six pulled both his arms low.

"Rainbow Squall."

Again Six held back his power in the punches but not it's speed, punching all the Marines in the face and knocking them to the ground easily in a matter of seconds. Rainbow Squall was usually used on one opponent and would be a brage of rapid punches all over the person's body, it was actually similar to Luffy's Gatling Gun, only with shorter range and more precise.

Six let out a small sigh as his gloves disappeared. "Did I say workout, I meant light warm-up." He said getting a snort from Zoro.

As Fullbody got up from the floor while rubbing his chin he suddenly looked up and who he saw made his jaw drop.

"What's all the racket about?" Sanji asked before his eyes landed on Fullbody. "Oh, it's the shitty costumer. Sorry, but I'm not serving any soup."

Fullbody screamed in terror before jumping back onto his ship then into the ocean, along with his crew.

"Huh, it's over already?" Luffy asked while rubbing his head.

"Hmph, he's all talk." Usopp said while crossing his arms.

"That guys still a jackass." Sanji said as he took a drag from his cigarette.

Nami looked with a slight annoyed look on her face. "You guy's are so noisy. Can't I get some peace and quiet to read?"

Six raised an eyebrow at her. "Weren't you the one who was worried about us being hunted by big named Marines and Bounty hunters?"

Nami just snorted as she read her paper. "Please, no strong Marine would use that scrap ship, unless they were weak and desperate."

Six had a thoughtful look on his face before nodding. "Touché."

"Nami-chan, the food is ready!" Sanji called, causing everyone to start walking to the ships lounge.

After eating everyone gather around outside onto the deck around Nami, who was showing everyone a map.

"We're getting very close to the Grand Line." Nami said as she showed a map on the floor. "The only way to get there it to go through 'Reverse Mountain'."

"That's a pain in the ass." Zoro said as he leaned against the side while laying down. "Can't we just go straight there, from the sea."

"Bad idea," Six said as he leaned close to the map. "I've heard Reverse Mountain is the only way for a pirate to get into the Grand Line, and the other ways are too dangerous."

"Really, why?" Usopp asked.

Six just gave a weak shrug. "No idea, but if every pirate before went through Reverse mountain then there must be a reason why."

"The reason is-" Nami started to explain but was cut off by Luffy.

"Ok, I got it!" Luffy shouted while pointing to the map. "Let's go head-long into the front!" He said without any hesitation.

That seemed to annoy Nami a bit as she glared at the captain. "Are you even listening to me!?"

Six put a hand on her shoulder. "Just give up on trying to explain the dangers to him Red. The kid's an adrenalin jockey." He said making Nami groan in agreement.

"But what's more important is to stop by an island and buy some meat!" He said with a determined look.

Six had a thoughtful look on his face as he looked at Luffy. "You know, if you replace the word 'meat' with 'supplies' you might actually sound like a decent captain." He said making everyone nod in agreement and Luffy just laughed it off.

Nami pointed to a small island not far off from Reverse Mountain. "On this island is a famous city, Loguetown."

"Loguetown?" Luffy asked. "Is it famous for it's meat?"

"It's also called, 'the town of the beginning and the end." Zoro said as he looked at Luffy. "Or so I heard."

"It's the place where the Pirate King, Gold Roger, was born." Nami said getting a surprised look from Luffy. "And it's also the place where he was executed." She said, creating a stun silence among the pirates.

"The place where the Pirate King died..." Luffy said with some amazement as he looked at Nami.

Nami gave Luffy a small grin. "You want to see it?" She asked with a smile.

Luffy had a straight face on. "Yeah. I want to see it. The man who owned the One Piece, the man who owned everything in the world. The place where he was born and died." He said with some amazement in his voice that made everyone grinned.

"So how long until we reach Loguetown?" Six asked as he looked to the sea.

Nami had a thoughtful look on her face for a few moments before answering. "If we don't stop and keep heading straight it should only take us a few days, three at most."

Luffy grinned as he jumped to his feet. "Alright, let's get moving!" He shouted as he jumped on the Going Marry's head.

"Yes!" Everyone said with a grin as they got to work.

The next few days were uneventful for the pirate crew. Luffy goofed off, Sanji cooked and hit on Nami, Zoro slept most of the trip, and Nami read the paper. The only interesting thing was Six helping Usopp develop his Exploding Star to become more powerful, though there was an accident that caused the chemicals to explode in there face.

Six was currently sitting outside while putting the finishing touches on Jaws. The weapon was really fucked up thanks to Luffy, but Six was able to repair the weapon with some metal on the ship. Not only that but Six was able to improve the weapon, making it stronger then before.

"Hey, I can see an island up ahead!" Zoro called from the front of the ship.

Putting his sword away Six made his way to the head of the ship, along with everyone else.

"What's that island?" Luffy asked while holding onto his hat.

"Didn't we just go over this a few days ago." Nami said as she walked up behind Luffy and Zoro.

"So that's the island where Loguetown is." Usopp said as he put his hands behind his head.

"It's a pretty big city." Sanji said as he lit his cigarette. "They should have a lot of good places to get fresh food."

"I need to go to a weapon store." Zoro said as he looked at the island. "Three-Sword Style with only one sword just won't work."

"Now that I'm a apart of this crew I'm going to need a way to resupply my ammunition, got to find some very specific supplies." Six said as he looked at the island as well. "Plus some supplies to repair my weapons will also be needed.

Luffy started at the island with a big grin on his face. "On that island, Gold Roger was born... and also executed." He said as he put a hand on his head. "The city where the pirate king died. A place called 'The town of the Beginning and the End." Luffy said before a big grin crossed his face. "Everyone! Let's go!"

"Yeah!"

It took the Straw-Hats a good 20 minutes before they landed on the docks of. Once everyone was off the ship thy stood at the entrance of the town.

"Whoo-hoo!" Luffy shouted as he looked around. "What a huge town!"

"Lot's of pirates stock up at this town before heading to the Grand Line." Nami explained to everyone. "You can pretty much get whatever you want here."

Six nodded his head with a grin. "Look's like I'll be able to get what I need. Right Stripe?" He said getting a nod from his Deathclaw.

"Alright! For my upcoming great adventure, I'm going to need some cool stuff." He said before looking to Six. "You want to help me, we might be able to find what you need together." He said getting a nod out of Six.

"I'll bet there's lots of good food to check out here." Sanji said as he looked around. "And a lot of good woman!" He said with a perverted smile on his face.

Six gave the cook a smirk. "Maybe if you get laid here you'll finally stop being as horny as a dog." He said making Sanji glare at him.

"Bastard!" Sanji said with a glare.

"Okay! I'm going to go check out the execution platform!" Luffy said before running off, despite the protest from the other crew members.

"That guy..." Sanji said as he rubbed his head.

"Don't worry about him, he'll come looking for us once he get's hungry." Zoro said with a snort before he started to walk away.

"Well, remember everyone, meet back at the ship past noon!" Nami said as everyone started to walk in different directions.

Six and Usopp walked down the white road, Usopp was looking around for a shop. After a few minutes the two walked into an interesting shop full of... trinkets.

The Courier looked around all the random stuff with a slight raised brow. It reminded him of all the interesting junk he used to collect back in the Mojave just for the fun of it, like those Snow-globes, that weird evil garden gnome, and that dog skeleton he found in the Divide.

"Whoo-hoo-hoo!" Usopp said as he looked around in amazement. "Too cool! This is crazy! This place is full of cool stuff!"

Six looked at stuffed turtle hanging on the sealing before looking to Usopp. "Well it's interesting, I can say that much." Six said with a chuckle making Stripe snort.

Suddenly a person walked from the back room. "Welcome sirs."

The person was a tall skinny man with a purple bowl haircut. The man was rubbing his hands together with a big smile on his face.

"All of these items you see on display were used by pirates who sailed the Grand Line!" The salesman said in a happy voice. "They are all valuable, special items, of course."

Six instantly called bullshit for a number of reasons. One was that most pirates that went into the Grand Line never came back out, and another was most pirates never had much of this goofy crap on there ship. This guy was a scam artist and nothing more.

"You mean... these are all things they used in their adventures of the Grand Line?!" Usopp asked with amazement in his voice, making Six and Stripe fall to the ground.

"Exactly Sir. We aim to cater the needs of true worriers of the sea." The salesman said as he got closer to Usopp. "We are so glad to have your business!" He said before walking right up to Usopp and Six and brought up a gun that looked like a fish. "How about this? This is a gun that was actually used by Gold Roger!"

Six took one look at the gun and saw again the salesman was bullshitting them, seeing as the 'gun' was nothing more then a toy. This guy wasn't even qualified to be called a con-artiste, at least make the gun look something Roger would of used, the fucking thing still had a cork and string in it.

"WHAT!? It was Gold Roger's!?"

Now Six didn't know what was sadder, the con-mans poor skills, or Usopp falling for them.

"He's lying you idiot." Six said as he bonked Usopp on the head lightly, along with Stripe.

"What, are you serious?!" Usopp yelled in shock as the salesman looked a little uneasy.

"Of course. Do you really think Gold Roger would of sailed the Grand Line," Six said as he grabbed the gun and fired it, making the cork fly out. "With a toy gun?" He said making realization hit Usopp. Six turned to the shop-keeper with a glare, making him freeze. "Listen, you might be able to fool him, but I'm a completely different story." He said making the man nod super fast.

With that the two started to look around the odds and ends shop. Usopp wanted to grab a bunch of junk that would make him 'a brave warrior of the sea', but luckily Six talked him out of buying the crap, much to the shop-keepers dismay. When there wasn't much useful things other then souvenirs Usopp and Six were about to leave, until something caught Six's eye.

Standing on the bottom self not far from the main door was a figure inside a glass dome, a snow-globe. The snow-globe showed a little blond figure in a blue over coat with a pirate hat on, standing in front of the small city of Loguetown.

Six stared at the snow-globe for a long minute before grabbing it. "How much for this?" He asked as he held up the snow-globe to the shop-keeper.

The shop-keeper looked confused before a thoughtful look crossed his face. "50 Beli." He said with a shrug.

With a small grin Six slapped down 200 Beli, much to the shop-keeper's shock. "Next time try to be a little more discreet with your con-arting." Six said as he walked out with Usopp.

As the two walked down the street Six held up the Snow-Globe in the air and shook it, seeing the snow fall in side it.

"Why did you buy that?" Usopp asked as he looked at the trinket.

"Back home I had a friend who loved these things, and I couldn't help but like them too." Six said with a smile as he put the snow-globe away.

Usopp gave a pout to Six. "If you bought that then why didn't you let my by anything?"

That just made the Courier snort. "Because you wanted to buy half the store to make yourself a 'brave warrior of the sea'." He said before stretching his arms. "Anyway I still need to find the supplies I need for my Reloading Bench and ammunition."

Usopp nodded with a thoughtful look on his face. "And I need to find some goggles. It's not good for a first class sharpshooter not to have first glass goggles."

Six gave Usopp a grin. "Oh, your a sharpshooter now, then do you want to have a match." Six said a she brought up Lucky. "I happen to be a first class Gunslinger."

Usopp paled a little and waved his hands. "I'm more good at long range." He said making Six snort and put his revolver away.

"Well I'm the opposite, I'm only good up close and midrange." Six said before putting a hand on Usopp's shoulder. "So I'll leave the long range shots to you." He said making Usopp puff with pride and Stripe shaking his head.

It wasn't long before the two, pulse Stripe, found themselves in another store called 'Junkshop'. The shop had better supplies and more useful stuff, unlike the previous store. Six was currently at the front desk while Usopp was looking for some goggles.

"How can I help you today sir." The old lady said with a much friendlier smile then the pervious owner.

Six gave a grin as he pulled out a piece of paper. "I need a lot of supplies and I want to get them all in one go."

"Don't worry, my Junkshop has nearly everything you may need." The older woman said with pride.

Six nodded as he looked at the list. "How much lead do you have?"

The woman had a thoughtful look on her face before she spoke. "We have a few barrelful in the back."

"I'll take one barrelful then." Six said instantly shocking her a bit. "Next is gunpowder, do you also have a few barrels of that?" He asked getting a slow nod from the shop-keeper. "That I'll take another barrelful."

The old lady nodded slowly and wrote everything down. "That's a lot of lead and gunpowder, planning to open a gun store?" She asked in an almost joking voice.

Six waved her off with a smile. "No, see I'm heading to the Grand Line with my crew." He said getting a surpassed look from the old lady.

"Eh, so your a pirate," She asked before glancing at Usopp, who was looking at a jar full of something and sniffing it. "You don't seem the type."

The Courier gave a shrug. "I'll take that as a complement." He said before bringing up his list. "Now, I'm also going to need a lot of scrap metal..."

About 10 minutes later the old lady had brought out one barrelful of Lead, gunpowder, and scrap metal. There was also a large wooden table, some good tools, and a few pots.

"Do you also happen to have a cart? I don't think I can carry all this." Six said in a sheepish voice as he rubbed the back of his head. He didn't think he could take all of this into his pip-boy at once, and taking them in pieces would take too long.

The old lady gave a sigh as she pointed behind her. "There's a cart in the back, add that in plus all of this your looking at... 8 thousand Beli. Can you afford that kid?"

Six didn't waist any time slapping the money on the counter, surprising the old lady. "Thanks again for the help."

The old lady took the money with a snort. "What do you plan to do with all that stuff anyway?"

Six opened the barrel full of gunpowder and got a good look at it, seeing it was good quality. "I make my own ammunition, so I need as much supplies as I can get while at see." He said getting the old lady to nod.

"I've gotta have them. Hey granny!" Usopp called as he brought a par of goggles to the front counter.

"Oh, you have an eye for quality! That's North Blue's latest model." The Granny said with a grin.

"How the hell did you get your hands on something from the North Blue?" Six asked with a surprised expression. From what he heard getting something from another sea was not common.

"I got them from a group of Marines before they left on some urgent mission. There the only ones I have." She said before raising an eyebrow at Usopp. "What's wrong, no money?" She asked with a peeved look on her face.

Six turned to Usopp to see he was searching his pockets for his wallet. "Dude, I know you didn't spend any money at the souvenir story, so you should have something." Six said also looking a little peeved. "Did you drop it."

Usopp started to look around the store floor for his wallet. As he looked a little girl in a fancy dress walked into the store and walked right up to the front counter.

"I would like to buy these goggles please." She said in a cute voice making Usopp fall to the ground, and that caused Six and Stripe to stuff a laugh.

"Oh my, what a cute little girl!" The old lady gushed with a smile on her face. "Yes, aren't you a lucky one! These goggles are the only one of there kind in the city!" She said getting a smile from the little girl as she put a small stack of money on the table.

"Just a minute!" Usopp yelled as he pointing a finger at the little girls back. "I was first-"

Usopp was cut off when the little girl walked right up to him with a smile on her face. "Tough luck. Ossan." She said, shocking Usopp making fall on his ass.

"...Ahahahahahahaha!" Six and Stripe laughed there asses off as they saw the little girl walk out of the shop with zero fucks. "Aren't children presses!" Six said as he wiped his eye.

"Why didn't you stop her!?" Usopp yelled he got up.

Six now gave the sniper a dull look. "What do you want me to do, take something from a little girl." He said before pointing to the door. "If you want those goggles you better go after her, but let's make one thing clear Usopp." Six said with a dark glare as he brought out Jaws in an amber light, shocking both Usopp and the old Lady. "If you lay one hand on her or any kid I will rip you a new one, got it?"

"Yes sir!" Usopp yelled in fear as he ran out of the shop.

Six gave a snort as he turned to the old lady, who still looked to Six in shock. "So where's that cart?"

After a few minutes Six was pulling a cart full of his supplies down the road. Not far down the road Six and Stripe saw Usopp yelling about himself in front of the little girl, going on and on about defeating the Arlong Pirates. He even shouted he was the one who had a 30 million bounty on his head, making Six and Stripe snort.

Once Six was close enough he head the girl say something. "Oh really, 30 million?" She asked in a calm voice that made Six raise a brow as he stopped the cart.

"Yeah, that's right." Usopp said in a smug voice making Six and Stripe shake there heads.

The little girl gave a small laugh as she raised her hands. "Papa!" She called before running to a cloaked man standing not far away, shocking Usopp.

When Six saw the man he was a little on guard. The man was older the Six but he had a serious air around him, telling Six the guy knew how to fight.

The little girl walked right up to the man and presented the goggles to him. "This is a present for you papa!" She said with a big smile on her face. "Happy birthday!"

And just like that all the serious air washed right off the older man as he looked down at his daughter. "Oh, Carol!" He said as he started to look emotional. "What a kind, angelic, child! I love you Carol!" He said with all his heart making Six smile a bit.

"Papa! I love you papa!" The now named Carol said with a smile on her face. She then turned back to Usopp with a glare on her face. "But you know, that old man there was trying to snatch it away!" She said in an innocent voice.

"Now there, snatching is not good, not good at all." He said with a big smile on his face. "Intimidating is wrong, right?" In less then a second his entire face became serious, freaking Usopp out and even Six a bit. "Were you the one bullying my sweet Carol?" He asked in a deadly calm voice.

Usopp was frozen in fear of the angry dad as Carol pulled on her dad's cloak. "And you know what else?"

Switch flipped. "Yes~?" He asked as Carol whispered something into his ear. "Oh, so you're worth a 30 million bounty?" He asked while looking to Usopp, who looked even more scared. "Let's see..." He said as he pulled out a large stack of bounty fliers from his cloak.

"Those are new wanted posters, aren't they?" Carol asked while looking up at her father.

"Yeah, I got them from the Marine office." The dad said as he looked through the stack of papers.

Six raised an eyebrow at the two. A bounty hunter with a daughter, that was not something normal or safe for a kid.

The bounty hunter looked through the stack of papers before stopping with a surprised expression. "30 million, Straw-Hat Luffy. To be valuable this high in such a short amount of time," He said making Usopp take a step back. "Hold on kid." The man said making Usopp freeze.

Six sighed as he leaned against his cart, deciding only to get involved if Usopp needed saving.

Usopp tried to weasel his way out and say everything was a lie and tried to walk away, but the man stopped him.

The bounty hunter pointed to the corner of the photo with Luffy. "This is you, right?" He said making Usopp jaw dropped.

Trying a new tactic Usopp turned around and started to walk to the man. "Yeah, that's right. There's no doubt that's me." Usopp said as he did a 180 and started to threaten the man saying Luffy would come after him if something happened to Usopp, which wasn't fully a lie.

The man didn't look fazed in the least but closed his eyes. "I see, that's defiantly a problem. It's true being worth 30 million, this Luffy character is no ordinary guy."

"Papa! Without a doubt, papa is much stronger, because papa is the best in the world!" Carol protested.

"It's ok Carol. If papa get's enough money to live with you happily, that's more then enough." He said with a smile. "Your much more important to me then the best in the world."

"Papa...

Now Six was starting to see the big picture. The bounty hunter only went after the small fries to support himself and his daughter, but kept away from the real danger to keep himself safe along with his daughter. Six actually respected the man for that, he could of been risking his own life and his daughter just to make a lot of Beli, but instead he chose to just make enough to keep them comfortable. While Six was thinking to himself he heard Usopp try to get the goggles from the father, much to the Courier and Carol's annoyance, but at least he offered money.

"Then let's do this. Do you have any objection to settle this with a match?" The bounty hunter offered.

"A duel?" Usopp said slowly.

"Here." The bounty hunter throw a pistol at Usopp, who caught it by surprise.

"A duel... you don't mean a showdown do you?" Usopp asked in a nervous voice has he held the pistol.

"If you win I'll hand over the goggles." He said before moving his cloak, and what he saw made Usopp and Six's jaw drop.

Under the cloak there was over 30 pistols strapped all over the man's body. Instantly Six started to pull the cart right up to Usopp, a pissed off look on his face. The reason was because Usopp picked a fight with the worst possible person, because there was only one man in the East Blue who used that many guns.

"Usopp!" Six yelled with shark teeth as he ran next to the sniper and smacked him upside the head. "Did you seriously pick a fight with Daddy the Father!"

Daddy the Father was a notorious gunslinging bounty hunter in the East Blue, literally the top best. Six was confident he could take him, but he didn't want to catch too much attention.

Daddy looked at Six in surprise before narrowing his eyes. "Wait... you..." He said before bringing out a stack of bounties again. After a moment Daddy held up a bounty poster. "Wild Card Six, with a bounty of 20 million." Daddy said with a glare as he put a hand on a gun.

"Eh, this guy has a 20 million bounty?" Carol asked while looking at Six.

Daddy kept his guard up as he and Six glared at each other. "So... are you going to save your friend?" He asked while Usopp looked relived.

"...No." Six said in a firm voice as he crossed his arms.

"EH! Six, are you leaving me behind!" Usopp said, looking ready to cry.

"...Usopp, you were using Luffy to hide behind." Six said in a calm voice making Usopp freeze. "You used Luffy's name as if it was your own, because you were scared. You forget we're heading to the Grand Line soon, do you think pirates there will care who your captain is?" Six said as he gave Usopp a serious look. "You need to realize that where we're going, it's not to be all fun and games, we all have our dreams we want to fallow, and to achieve them we need to head to the Grand Line. You need to learn how to fight on your own, in order to become a brave worrier of the sea."

Usopp looked down, a shameful look on his face. "But... I'm not as strong as you guys."

"But you were strong enough to take down multiple fishman when we were taking down Arlong." Six said making the sniper pause. "You fought to protect the villagers, and back us up. You might not be the strongest, but you do have your own strengths." Six said before looking to Daddy.

"... Your right." Usopp said in a serious voice as he looked to Daddy. "I can't be a burden to the crew, I don't have time to be weak!"

Six gave a small grin as he turned to Daddy. "So here's what's going to happen..."

A few minutes later the group found themselves in front of a graveyard over looking the town. Usopp was facing the cliff with his slingshot in hand, despite the fear and sweat he was giving off. The rules were simple, Usopp was to prove his marksmanship skills by shooting any target Daddy would choose. If Usopp missed he would be shot as punishment, then Daddy would face Six in a duel. Six knew the long nose was not fast enough for a straight out duel, but he should be able to shoot anything Daddy pointed at.

Word seemed to spread about Daddy having a given someone a challenge and a small crowed of people formed around Six's cart. All of them were egging Usopp on as he faced the cliff, his body shaking slightly.

"What the hell are you doing!?"

Six and Usopp turned to see Nami glaring at Usopp with a shocked expression.

"Nami?" Usopp said in shock as he turned to the redhead.

"Challenging Daddy the Father? Are you stupid or what?!" Nami yelled before glaring at Six. "And why are you just standing there, Usopp is about to die!"

"Don't blame me, Usopp was the one that got himself into this situation!" Six yelled before looking back to Usopp. "Beside, Usopp's got this." Six said with confidence, making Usopp stand a bit straighter.

Danny paused at the name Six mentioned before pointing out to the city. "Show me you can hit that weather vane." Daddy said causing the crowed to stir.

"What, something that far away?"

"That's impossible."

"No way some no name can shoot something that far."

"Is he seriously going to do that with a slingshot?"

"He's dead."

Six brought our his binoculars and looked to see a wale shaped weather vane standing on a house. From the distance alone Six knew he could not make that shot with any of his guns, unless he was really lucky. Six had seen before that Usopp was good with that slingshot of his, but he didn't know for sure if he could shoot something that small from far away.

While Usopp was looking at the weather vane Daddy brought up his gun and pointed it to Usopp. "If you miss...

"Yeah, you'll blow my head off, that's fine." Usopp said in a calm voice that it surprised Six a bit as he faced the cliff to the weather vane. "This is a duel, where men risk there lives!" Usopp said with determination as he put his goggles on and started to pull his slingshot.

"No way! There's no way you can hit something that far with that thing!" Carol said in a worry voice.

Usopp just continued to aim his slingshot at the moving vane as he grit his teeth. There was absolute silence as Usopp aimed his weapon, sweat poring down his brow. Finally after five agonizing long seconds Usopp fired the slingshot, letting the black pellet sore through the sky, but the weather vane didn't move.

"He missed!" Nami said in worry for Usopp as the crowed spoke.

"So he lost?"

"Damn, I hade money on the kid."

"No way you could shoot anything with a slingshot."

"We'll dig you a good grave kid!"

"Stop papa! Don't shoot him! He's prove he's willing to risk his life for his beliefs, isn't that enough!" Carol said as she grabbed onto her dad's cloak.

Daddy just had a shocked look on his face as he stared at the vane. "How can I shoot him, he hit his target." He said as he put his gun shocking everyone.

Six looked through his binoculars right at the weather vane and what he saw shocked him. "He's right! Usopp hit the jeweled crown on the wales head!" Six shouted shocking the crowed even more.

"No way, he hit it!"

"I can't believe he did that with a slingshot!"

"Is he some kind of hawk!?"

Usopp have a sigh of relief as he fell to his knees.

"Superb skills. As expected of Yasopp's son." Daddy said making Usopp look at him in shock.

"You knew my dad?" Usopp said a he got to his feet.

Daddy nodded as he remembered his old memories. "Yeah, we dueled a long time ago and he was the only one to ever beat me." He said shocking everyone. "He let me live so I could see my daughter and be with her, that's the reason I became a bounty hunter." He said while putting a hand on Carol's head. "It's your win Usopp."

Six walked up to Usopp and slapped him on the shoulder. "I knew you could do it Usopp!" Six said with a grin on his face.

Carol walked up to Usopp and handed the goggles to him. "Pretty good, Ossan!" Carol said in a cheeky voice before she and Daddy started to walk away, along with most of the crowed, who congratulated Usopp as they left.

"Even after falling from grace, he fights to protect his loved ones, eh?" Nami said as she looked at Daddy and Carol.

Six gave a shrug. "Sometimes men find things more important then there pride, something there willing to give everything up for." He said as he looked at the father and daughter bond.

"I too will become as courageous as Daddy one day." Usopp said as he turned to Six. "And thank you again, for believing in me."

Six gave Usopp's shoulder a light punch. "I have to believe in my friends and in what they can do, otherwise this journey to the Grand Line is pointless." Six said as he walked over to the cart. "Let's get moving, don't want to be waiting for some Marine to pop up." Six said as he grabbed the cart.

"What is all this Six?" Nami asked as she looked at the stuff in the cart.

"All the supplies I need to make a Reloading Bench and ammunition." Six said with a grin.

Suddenly Nami but on a cute smile and looked to Six. "Eh, you think you can help carry some of my stuff to Six? It's too heavy for me." She said while fluttering her eyes.

Six just stared at Nami for a moment before he spoke. "You know that dose nothing for me right?" Six said with a straight voice making Nami trip. "But you can still put your stuff in my cart."

Nami looked annoyed but put a large bag of cloths onto the cart. Once that was in Six started to pull on the cart and everyone walked down the road.

"So where are we heading now?" Usopp asked as he walked next to Nami.

Red shrugged as she looked around. "I don't know, let's just explore the city a bit." She said before they continued down the road.

After a few minutes of wondering around Six, Usopp, and Nami all found themselves at behind a large crowed of people.

"Eh, what's going on here?" Nami asked as she looked around.

"I think it's a contest of some kind." Six said as they pushed through the crowed.

As Nami walked through the crowed she suddenly stopped and pointed to the side. "Hey, wait a second! Look over there!"

Usopp and Six looked to the side to see Sanji with the other chefs competing in the contest. Not only that but it looked like Sanji was trying to flirt with a redhead chef woman.

"What's Sanji doing over there?" Usopp asked as he saw Sanji get pushed away by two little freaks.

"Oi Sanji!" Usopp, Six, and Nami called out to the cook from the crowed.

Sanji looked over and his eyes instantly turned into hearts. "Oh Nami-swan! You've come to cheer me on!?" Sanji yelled as he rushed over to them.

"Not really. I was just passing by." Nami said with a grin on her face.

"Hey Sanji, why are you in this contest?" Usopp asked with a tilt of his head.

"Decided to make some quick money?" Six asked with a grin.

"Oh Usopp, Six, your here too?" Sanji asked in a surprised voice pissing both Usopp and Six off.

"And now it's time to begin!" The announcer yelled before going on about the rules and how the winner would then be crowned the best in East Blue.

Once the announcer was finished speaking Usopp looked to Sanji in shock. "Hey now Sanji, don't tell me you care about being the best in East Blue?"

Six gave a shrug. "I don't see why that's a big deal, he's still a great cook earthier way."

"Exactly," Sanji said a he took a drag from his cigarette. "I don't need to prove anything. I just wanna get my hands on that fish over there." Sanji said with a grin as he pointed to the large fish on display.

Six actually raised an eyebrow at the strange fish, seeing it looked like a tuna and elephant offspring. It wasn't long before the contest started and things got interesting. After about an hour chefs won and lost left and right, peppering many dishes and presenting them to the judges. Throughout the whole contest Sanji one easily getting every chef to vote for his dish each time without even trying. Another noticeable chef was a dark redhead woman named Carmen, who seemed to be just as skilled but was doing the most simplest task with a lot of flare. She also had two weird looking cheerleaders, one with a small face but large head and another with incredibly large nostrils that looked more like black eyes.

Usopp, Nami, Six, and Stripe all cheered Sanji on after every win, but he seemed to only care about Nami's cheering.

Finally after nearly two hours all that was left was Sanji and Carmen.

"And now for the final round!" The Announcer yelled getting a cheer from the crowed before introducing the two finalist. "The man of prominent sense and skill, coming through without the faintest hint of danger, Sanji!" He said getting Usopp, Six, Nami, and Stripe to cheer again as the announcer pointed to the other opponent. "The woman of dazzling dance and technique, constantly overwhelming all her opponent, Carmen!" He yelled getting a lot of cheers from the men. "Which one will win the Blue-Finned Elephant Tuna?" He said before rising a pot and a large spoon. "Now for the final round! Start!"

With that the two cooks got to work on there final dish. Carmen started off just as dramatic as the last opponent she had, even doing the simplest things like cutting a carrot with a lot of flare. While that happen her two helpers waved there red flags around trying to distract Sanji, but it was no good. The blond cook was fast with his skills and only focused on his cooking and not a woman for once. After about twenty minutes of cooking a full course meal was complete on both sides.

Six had to admit both sides of food looked good, but he knew who was going to win this. They may be both skilled and there food will taste great, but Sanji's food was made to taste good and be good for the body.

After the judges ate there food one stood up. "I shall announce the results!" The judge said as he held a paper. "For this years cooking contest, the winner is... San-"

"Stop!" Someone called out just as Sanji's name was going to be called.

Everyone turned to Carmen who stood up with a neutral look on her face. Slowly the woman walked right up to Sanji, who looked surprised.

"Unforgivable." Carmen said as her body started to shake a bit. "I can never forgive you!" She said as she glared at Sanji.

"...Could it be she was one of Sanji's past lovers!?" Six said in shock making Nami and Usopp take a step back. "And she's mad that he forgot about her, and never bother to call!"

"Of course, it all makes sense!" Nami and Usopp said as they tapped there fists into there palms.

That wasn't the case as Carmen went on to explain how she wanted to match Sanji's skills as an opponent, but in the end she excepted her defeat with grace. Unfortunately Sanji being Sanji tried to kiss Carmen, which resulted in Carmen's cheerleader, the small face guy, to bash a frying pan into Sanji's face.

"Our winner, Sanji-senshu!"

After Sanji won he wrapped the large Tuna and added it to Six's growing cart, much to the Courier's annoyance.

"Well, I'll just consider this strength tanning." Six thought as he pulled his cart along behind his crew mates before glancing back. "I hope this fish taste as good as weird as it looks."

"Now that was fun!" Nami said with a smile on her face. "For some reason there are a lot of duels today!"

Sanji raised as eyebrow at Nami. "There was another duel?"

Six grinned as he slapped Usopp in the back, making the sniper skip forward. "Usopp won a bet with Daddy the Father."

That made Sanji look at Usopp with complete shock. "You beat Daddy the Father?"

Usopp puffed out his chest and his nose seemed to grow longer. "It was a glories duel, Daddy had 100 guns pointed at me from all angles while I used my slingshot to-"

"So what happened?" Sanji asked Six and Nami, making Usopp fall to the floor.

Six gave a grin as Usopp stood up. "Daddy found Usopp by recognizing him in Luffy's bounty photo. In order to get out alive Daddy and Usopp made a bet where any target Daddy chose Usopp was to hit." He said before smirking to Usopp. "Daddy chose a weather vane that was more then half way across the city, right on top of a house, and Usopp hit it right in it's jewel."

"Eh, that's impressive." Sanji said as he took a drag from his cigarette.

Usopp's chest seemed to puff out with pride as everyone walked down the street. As the grouped walked Nami suddenly stopped and looked up with a surprised expression.

"What's up Nami?" Usopp asked with some confusion.

"...The air is different." She said as she looked at the clouds.

Looking up Six noticed the air was thicker and more wet, but other then that the sky was blue and the clouds were white.

"It's going to rain. I'm positive." Nami said without any hesitation as she continued to look up.

"...This island is close to the Grand Line," Six said making everyone look at him. "Sudden weather changes would not be that strange. If Red says it's going to rain then it's going to ran."

Everyone slowly nodded before they moved. As they walked Nami took out her compose and gave it a serious look. "The pressure's dropping. But I never seen it drop so radically..." She said as she looked up, seeing dark clouds start to form.

Six looked up and his eyebrows shot up as he saw the dark clouds. "Holy shit there's a storm moving in fast, we need to go."

Nami nodded her head. "He's right, we need to get back to the ship as soon as possible," She said as she looked up in worry. "This storm's going to be big..."

"Oi!" Everyone turned to the side to see the crew's green haired swordsman. "Have you guys seen him around?" Zoro said, now having two new katanas at his hip.

"You mean Luffy?"

"Yeah, we got separated." Zoro said as he rubbed his head. "And... I got a bad feeling." He said while looking serious. "That something... something really big is going to happen."

Six looked up and saw more dark clouds in the sky. Not only that the air felt heavier, like an Oman. As the crew thought about there next move they all stopped when they heard the villagers.

"Pirates, run!"

"Pirates!"

"The Buggy pirates is here!"

"Buggy?" Everyone said as once in confusion.

"Buggy the clown is going to execute Straw-Hat Luffy!"

That made the whole crew gape at each other in shock. "Execute Luffy!?" Usopp and Nami yelled at the same time.

Six narrowed his eyes and Strip growled. "We need to move, now!" Six said as he grabbed a random civilian, shocking the person. "Where is Straw-Hat Luffy being held!?"

The civilian almost pissed himself before pointing down the road. "Th-the execution platform!" He shouted before Six let him go.

Six put the cart down and placed Stripe on the cart. "You guys head to the ship and get it ready, we'll bring Luffy back!" Six said to Usopp and Nami and he, Zoro, and Sanji ran off.

The three ran past dozen of civilians as they headed for execution platform. It wasn't long before it was in site, along with Buggy standing over a trapped Luffy.

"THIS EXECUTION IS OVER!" Zoro, Sanji, and Six all yelled as they stood at the very edge of the crowed.

Six wanted to use Soru and Geppo to get Luffy, but he didn't want to attract too much attention from the Marines at the very beginning of there journey, but if Six saw no other option he would move.

"Zoro! Sanji! Six!" Luffy called out with a smile on his face.

Zoro glared at the platform with his bandana on. "You really know how to make a ruckus. Aren't you taking this joke a bit too far Luffy?"

Sanji put his hands in his pocket and gave a big grin. "If it's time for the showdown, I guess I'll debut as well."

Six's Medicine Stick appeared in his hands as he rested it on his shoulder. "I don't know how you can kick Arlong's ass in his own home and still lose to this clown, plus he's literally a clown." He said with a big grin as he popped a toothpick in his mouth.

"Pi-pirate hunter... Zoro! Wild Card Six!" A person yelled out in fear before nearly every single civilian ran from the plaza in fear, only leaving the pirates.

"Sanji, Six, Zoro!" Luffy cried out with a big smile on his face.

Buggy just let out a laugh. "Here at last Zoro, but your too late!" Buggy said as he raised his sword in the air.

That caused the three to run straight ahead, causing the pirates to charge at them. Zoro slashed at any pirates that got close while Sanji did the same with his kicks. Six leveled his Medicine Stick and shot every pirate he saw in the chest, sending them to the ground, when a pirate got close to Six while he was reloading he would his them with the butt of the gun, sending them to the ground. Despite how many they dropped more just kept coming.

"Try all you want, you can't stop me now!" Buggy gloated as he held up his sword. "This is the end of your captain!"

"Not if I can help it!" Six said as he pointed his rifle at Buggy, firing twice.

The bullet's never hit as Buggy's body came apart and dodge the bullets. "You missed!" Buggy mocked while sticking out his tongue.

Six growled as he tried to fire again, only to hear the gun clicked empty.

"He's out of ammo, get him!" A pirate yelled before they charge.

Six growled as the pirates charged at them. From the corner of his eye Six saw that Sanji and Zoro were slowly getting closer to the platform. He also saw Marines hiding behind buildings with there guns in hand. This whole situation was becoming fubar.

"FUCK THIS!" Six shouted at the top of his lungs, making the pirates stop for a split second as the Courier held out his hands.

"CZ57 Avenger!"

As soon as Six finish speaking a huge Gatling gun appeared in his hands, making the pirates go bug eyed.

"Say hello to my little friend!" Six shouted before he pulled the trigger. "BITCH!"

Soon an onslaught of bullets hit every pirate that was in front of Six, sending them to the ground in a bloody mess. Six send Buggy a crazy grin, scaring the clown man as his eyes literally popped out of his head. As the courier was about to direct his fire onto the clown pirate he was forced to jump back as a giant club slammed into where he was standing.

Landing on his feet Six was surprised to see a very beautiful woman holding a very large spiked club in her hands as if it was a normal bat.

"My, you have an interesting Devil Fruit." The woman said as she flipped her hair. "Tell me, do you find me beautiful?" She asked in a sweet voice.

"...So not the time lady." Six said as she raised Avenger and pointed it right at her. "I suggest you move, unless you want to become mincemeat."

"Don't you dare shoot her Six!" Sanji yelled in rage as he kicked another pirate.

"It's either a random woman or your captain Luffy! Chose dammit!" Six yelled with shark teeth at the blond cook.

"The woman!" Sanji yelled without any hesitation, making Six fall to the floor.

"Fuck you, you sex hungry cook! Go fuck a pile of garbage!" Six yelled with shark teeth before he pulled the trigger.

To the Courier's surprise all the bullets heading right for the woman seemed to just... go around her.

"Do you like my ability?" The woman asked with a cheeky smile as she patted her cheek. "I ate the Smooth-Smooth Fruit and became a slippery human, nothing can hit my beautiful skin."

Six lowered Avenger as he just stared at her with some disbelief. "Oh that's just not fucking fare." He said as he brought out Jaws.

"Zoro! Sanji! Six! Nami! Usopp! Stripe!" Luffy called making the three fighters pause. "Sorry. But..."

Then Six saw one of the most shocking things Luffy had done yet since he met him. Instead of looking scared or even serious... the kid put on the biggest fucking smile Six had seen yet, not a trace of fear anywhere on his face.

"It looks like I'm dead."

Everything seemed to slow down as Buggy brought his sword towards Luffy's neck. The three crew mates watched in shock as the sword got closer and closer to Luffy's neck.

Gritting his teeth Six got low as determination burned in his eyes.

"SOR-"

*KRRAACK*

Just as Six was about to speed up to the platform a giant bolt of lightning shot right down, hitting the platform as Buggy was about to chop Luffy's head down. The bold of lightning was so loud that it was the only thing heard for the first few seconds before there was complete silence. Soon the very platform Gold Roger was executed on fell into a pile of burning wood, not even the heavy rain put out the fire.

As the platform fell a lone figure stood as he grabbed his hat from the floor.

"Hahahaha! Hey, I'm alive!" Luffy laughed with a big smile on his face as he stood over a burned Buggy.

There was only stun silence as everyone gaped at Luffy, who just continued to laugh. Sanji's cigarette fell out of his while Zoro and Six put there weapons away, though they still looked shock.

"Hey, do you believe in god?" Sanji asked as Luffy walked up to them.

Six just snorted as he pushed his hat up. "I believe something's in the afterlife that rules all, and I think whatever it is just bitch-slapped someone to keep Luffy alive." Six said with a chuckle of disbelief.

"Enough talking, we need to get out of here!" Zoro said, the only one most unaffected by everything. "Look's like the danger is not over yet."

Out of the corner of Six's eye he saw the Marines that were hiding were now gaping at what they just saw, along with the whole plaza.

"Now, surround the pirates!"

Just like that the Marines shock was gone and was replaced with determination as nearly 50 solders filled the plaza. They started to fight with Buggy's pirate crew and were quickly overpowering them.

"Awesome! A huge fight!" Luffy said in excitement as he dodged a pirate's body being thrown at him.

"Luffy, we need to go now!" Six said as he punched a Marine in the face, sending him crashing to the ground. "If we don't move then the Marines are going to get their hands on Marry, then we'll never get to the Grand Line!"

"What!? Then we better go!" Luffy said before he started to lead the way to the ship.

"The Straw-Hat Crew are getting away!" A Marine yelled as they gave chase.

Six let out a laugh as they ran down the street. "Look's like we don't even have to try to call ourselves the Straw-Hat pirates!" Six said in a cheeky voice making Luffy laugh and Zoro and Sanji grin.

As the Marines chased them more came in front of them, but the four pirates were easily took them down before continuing to run towards the harbor. Despite them running as fast as they could the Marines kept pace. Soon it wasn't long before a single woman was in front of them, and Sanji reacted differently.

"Who is that lady!?" Sanji yelled as his eyes turned into hearts.

Stranding in front of the pirates was a young woman with a sword on her hip, her hair covering her face.

"So you're Roronoa Zoro, a pirate?" She said in a calm anger that made Six raise a brow. "I... you lied to me!" She said as she glared at Zoro.

"What!" Sanji yelled at Zoro as the three stopped at the middle of the road. "What the hell did you do to her!?"

Six gave a grin to Zoro while sending him a thumbs up. "Nice man." Was all he said while wiggling his eyebrows, which pissed off Sanji even more.

Zoro ignored the two and walked forward. "You never asked for my name, that's all. I never lied to you."

That seemed to just make the woman even more mad. "A scoundrel like you wielding such a magnificent katana, unforgivable! Your Meitou, the Wadou Ichimonji, shall be confiscated!"

Zoro put his hand on one of his swords and gave the woman a grin. "Just try it."

The woman glared at Zoro before taking out her sword and charging at Zoro, who also took his blade out. The two met half way and locked blades, neither moving back an inch.

"You bastard! How dare you attack a woman!" Sanji yelled while stomping his foot.

Six glared at the cook. "She attacked first you dumpass, also she look's like she knows how to wield that blade so stop your bitching." He said making Sanji glare at him.

"No one interfere!" The woman said making Sanji pause. "This is a match between myself and Roronoa Zoro. Leave us alone!" She said while glaring at Zoro.

"You heard her." Zoro said with a much more calm look. "Go ahead, I'll catch up."

Luffy nodded with a grin on his face. "Let's go." He said before running forward.

"Zoro! If you hurt her your a dead man!" Sanji said as he passed by.

"More your ass, your chivalry is getting fucking annoying!" Six yelled.

As the three ran it wasn't long before they saw the harbor in the distance, making Luffy grin.

"The harbor's just over there!" Luffy yelled with a grin on his face.

As they ran the three noticed a lone figure standing at the end of the road, a large motorcycle behind him. The person was a man who looked to be in his late 20's, two large cigars in his mouth, and he had a very familiar white coat on.

"Marine, incoming!" Six said as eh lowered his arms, ready for anything.

"Here at last." The man said in a calm voice but had a hard glare. "Straw-Hat Luffy." He said as the three stopped a few feet from him. "I told you if you can't beat me, you'll never make it to the Grand Line." He said in a voice that even Six found a little intimidating.

Luffy on the other hand just let a grin. "Oh yeah, I forgot." Luffy said with a small laugh.

The Marine just glared at Luffy. "You enjoy playing dumb."

Sanji gave the Marine an uneasy look. "Hey, Luffy."

Luffy however still looked unfazed. "Sanji, Six, go on ahead."

That seemed to make the Marine turn his gaze over to the Courier. "Wild Card Six, another pirate with a high bounty."

Six just gave the same grin Luffy was giving him, only for vicious. "If you want to fight me, take out my captain."

Luffy laughed with a smile on his face as he gave the Marine a challenging look. "Go!" He said before charging at the Marine.

With that both Sanji and Six ran past the Marine and made a be-line for the harbor. The rain felt like it was getting heavier as they ran down the street, not only that the two heard gun fire in the distance, causing them to worry. Once they reached the harbor they saw the Marines shooting at the Going Marry as it sailed along the cost.

Sanji and Six wasted no time running to their ship, seeing Usopp, Nami, and Stripe already on board.

"Nami-san!" Sanji called as he and Six ran along next to their ship.

"Sanji, Six!" Nami called, relief in her voice.

"Nami, I'm back~!" Sanji called with hearts in his eyes.

"What about Luffy and Zoro!?" Nami called with a worry look on her face.

Sanji instantly scoffed so Six spoke up. "There being held up by Marines, they'll met us soon!" Six called before glancing back.

There the Courier saw a large group of Marines heading for them with weapons in hand. Once they were close enough Sanji sent a strong kick back, knocking about three of them to the ground. Six pulled his fist back and sent one Marine flying back into another Marine. As more Marines charged Six raised his hands.

"Dragon Fang!"

Don Krieg's old spear, the now named Dragon Fang, appeared in Six's hands before the Courier brought it down. As soon as the Spear made contact with the ground there was an explosion, not as large as when Krieg had, but still large enough to blast away a small group of Marines. In order to make sure the spear lasted longer in a fight Six cut the power of it's blast by 1/3, but it was still more then effective against the Marines.

"Shit, they just keep coming!" Sanji said in frustration before he kicked a Marine that was trying to get him from behind.

Six grunted in agreement as he brought his spear up to take down another Marine, but before he could the solder suddenly dropped. Looking surprised Six saw Usopp bobbing in the water while shooting the Marines with his slingshot. The Courier grinned as he swung the spear again, knocking more Marines back. Despite the numbers they took down more and more Marines kept coming, it actually reminded Six about the Legion and the NCR, seeing how they never backed down when fighting, even if the enemy was stronger.

Suddenly without warning a powerful green blasted passed everyone in the area, sending the Marines flying away. Six brought out Old Glory and stabbed it into the ground, keeping himself from flying away. The Courier also grabbed a hold of Sanji before the cook was sent flying as well. Unfortunately it was not enough and the two were sent flying back to the harbor.

After a few moments the strange green wind finally stopped. Six got off the ground while grabbing his head, looking around he saw a lot of damage done to the buildings and unconscious Marines. The Courier also saw Zoro, Sanji, Luffy, and even Usopp all on the harbor.

"What happened?" Luffy asked as he held onto his hat.

"Is everybody ok?" Six asked as he looked at his crewmates.

Sanji rubbed his shoulder with an annoyed look. "Nothings broken." He said while looking around.

"LUFFY!"

Everyone turned to see the Going Marry heading out to the ocean, taking Nami and Stripe with it.

"Nami!" Luffy said with a worry look on his face.

"We have to do something fast, or she'll drift out too far." Sanji said, finally not gushing over the redhead.

"Got it!" Luffy said as he ran in the other direction of everyone, confusing everyone.

"Gomu-Gomu No-"

Luffy grabbed a pole and started to stretch back as far as he could.

"Oh shit." All the pirates said as they realized what was about to happen.

"Rocket!"

Faster then anyone could get away Luffy blasted not only himself, but his entire crew to the Going Marry. It was Luffy the crew it the sail of the ship, softening the landing.

"Guys!" Nami said in relief as Striped instantly jumped onto Six's shoulder.

Six got up with a groan along with the rest of the crew. They tried to stand up but were having some trouble since the ship was moving so radically.

"The ship feels like it's going to flip over!" Luffy said as he held onto the side.

Nami gave a small laugh as she looked out to the rocky water. "You see that lighthouse over there?" Nami said, grabbing everyone's attention. "It's known as the 'Light of Guidance'. The light points to the entrance of the Grand Line." Nami said as she looked back with a grin. "So, what shall we do?"

Usopp on the other hand looked a little worried. "But are we really going to the Grand Line in a storm like this?" Usopp concerns were left un heard as everyone grinned while looking at the light house.

Sanji suddenly brought a barrel on deck with a grin on his face. "So since we reached the entrance of the Grand Line, I say this calls for a celebration!"

"What kind of celebration?" Luffy asked while tilting his head.

Sanji grinned as he placed his foot on top of the barrel. "To find All Blue."

Everyone instantly understood what Sanji was doing and gather around the barrel.

"To become the Pirate King!"

"To be the Greatest Swordsman."

"To Draw a Map of the World!"

"T-to become a Brave Warrior of the sea!"

Six stared at the barrel for a long moment, but to him it almost felt like hours. These were all his crews dreams they had, something they wanted to accomplish together. Six thought about what he wanted on this adventure what was his life goal. Six thought for a moment and Six only wanted two things ever since coming to this world.

Slamming his foot on the barrel Six gave everyone a grin.

"To go on the Greatest Adventure ever, and to become the Strongest Man in the world!" The Courier of the Mojave Wasteland shouted without any hesitation, making everyone grin wider as Stripe let out a roar.

With that said everyone raised there legs high in the air.

"To the Grand Line!" They all shouted before bringing there legs down.

*CRUNCH*

21N: A log one here, but it was necessary, I wanted to get all the filler out of the way in one chapter.

1: I plan to use both the filler arcs and movie of One Piece, but only the ones I like. So expect me to so the Warship Island ark next.

2: So why did I make Six's dream to be the Strongest Man in the One Piece world. Well for one, you can't be on the crew unless you have a dream. And two, Six was never the kind of man to just sit around and retire, unless he was balls old. He already one became the strongest man in the Divide and the Mojave Wasteland, now he want's to become the strongest man in the Grand Line. It might sound cheap to some, thinking that Luffy should be the strongest, I'm sticking to this idea.

3: So I gave Six a bounty, it was more of a whim thing for me, but I will make sure Six's bounty is never higher then Luffy's. Also on a power scale Six will be almost equally as strong as Luffy.

4: To clear some things up, I am writing this off of both the Anime and the Manga, and if you seen both then you know that they are different to an extent.

Thanks for everything!
