*With the news of a new crewmate Pietro, the Straw Hats celebrate then the following morning they made a discovery. A kuja ship on the shore of the island they had just anchored the crew suspects that Luffys ally and friend the Pirate Empress Boa Hancock is on the island with her Kuja pirates.*
Robin: I don't mean to be a downer but *Usopp interjects*
Usopp: Do u really? *he says sarcasticly*
Robin: That ship looks rather small than their usual one.
Nami: Yeah you're right, Hey Luffy didn't you say they only had one pirate ship?
Luffy: Yup that's what Marguerite told me that's why I couldn't leave Amazon Lily without Boa.
Franky: Well maybe it's possible they made another ship for the rest of the Kuja to use.
Luffy: Nah only Boa can have those big snakes to pull the ship she wouldn't lend them to anyone.
Sanji: So the Pirate Empress is here.
Zolo: At least we don't have any enemies to worry about then.
Sarukenshi: So you all are friends of the infamous Kuja tribe I take it.
Luffy: Yup I ended up on their island and became friends with Hancock.
Sarukenshi: The Pirate Empress herself is your friend. *Sarukenshi has a surprised and impressed look*
Nami: It shocked us too but yeah Luffy did the impossible being the first man to land on the island of women and live and be allowed to come back as well, so the Kuja pirates are our allies.
Pietro: I would never think the Empress would ever allow any man to be her ally let alone her friend what do you have that makes you the exception? *Sanji interjects in a rage*
Sanji: THAT'S WHAT I WANNA KNOW TOO! SO OUT WITH IT MONKEY BOY!
Pietro: Dude take it easy your burning up….literally *Sanji's passion has set him ablaze*
Luffy: I don't know she just likes me hehe. *luffy smiles*
Sanji: BUT WHY!?
Luffy:…*Luffy takes a moment to think* Don't know *Luffy has a goofy smile on his face truly ignorant to the situation he's blessed with Sanji collapses onto his hands and knees in despair*
Sanji: Why couldn't I have landed on an island of women! *He sobs violently for a moment*
Pietro: Is he always like this? *Pietro asks to Zolo*
Zolo: You get used to it i known him so long I'm almost fluent in idiot. *Sanji stops sobbing and hears Zolo*s remark*
Sanji: YOU SHUT IT MOSSHEAD IM A MAN OF PASSION NOT A NON-ROMANTIC BRUTE LIKE YOU!
Zolo: You better watch who you're calling brute unless you're looking to get sliced up twirly-brows.
*Pietro steps over to Sarukenshi*
Pietro: Geez why don't they get a room. *the two laugh heartily*
Usopp: So why don't we see if we can go find the Kujas.
Sarukenshi: That sounds like an intriguing idea.
Chopper: You think they'll give me candy? *Chopper has a bright eyed face and wide grin*
Brook: I hope I could take a look at their pan *Nami smacks him across the face mid sentence*
Nami: They're Kuja, Not perverted idiots like you!
*Meanwhile somewhere on the island, two unknown females talk amongst themselves*
Female 1: I'm not kidding I saw a ship, it had a pirate flag on it like your ship sis.
Female 2:..Alright if that's the case *She picks up a bow and quiver of arrows and straps them on to her* stay hidden I'm going to keep watch on our new visitors. Now remember if they see you what do you do?
Female 1: I run and use my logic of the island to lose them.
Female 2: And if they manage they surround you?
Female 1: Then I make them play a game with me until you find me I know I know.
Female 2: Alright good we meet back here in 30 minutes if one of us istn here we assume they tan into pirates got it?
Female 1: Ok, got it sis see ya soon.
Female 2: Try to stay out of trouble ok. *The two sisters smile to each other then split up, back at the Thousand Sunny the crew is deciding on teams to go looking for the Kuja*
Nami: Alright I say we make teams of two since franky will stay with the ship. Robin & Luffy, Zolo & Chopper, Brook & Usopp, Saru-chan & Pietro, and Sanji and I.
Sanji: I'll protect you with every fiber of my being Nami-swan!
Franky: Good luck to you guys.
Luffy: Oh wait Sarukenshi, Pietro! Here put these on you, The Kuja haven't seen you so use this disguise if you're in trouble though just say you're with me I'm sure they won't kill you.
Sarukenshi: Um…* Makes nervous chuckle with a confused face* Why do we have to wear these?
Luffy: Well they thought I was a flat chested girl so I thought they might do that again for you two so I made you these *Smiles brightly as he hands the two Paper bags mask that have mustaches and bearded face drawn on them and have "I'm a man" written on them*
Pietro:…Whatever let's just get going then.
Luffy: Alright let's go everyone!
Sanji: I'm coming my beautiful Empress!
Nami: Alright we meet back here once we find the Kuja okay let's move. *They all split into their groups and head off in different directions*
Franky: Well it's just you and me now Sunny, guess I'll go restock the cola barrels. * a few minutes later Sarukenshi and Pietro are walking through the thick trees and vines with the paper bag mask on their heads*
Pietro: Do we really have to wear these ridiculous thing? It's so humiliating and uncomfortable.
Sarukenshi: hehe I don't know I think they're funny besides Luffy went to the trouble of making them so I'll gladly wear it.
Pietro:…Fine out of respect and gratitude for you and the others taking me in I'll do it…but next time I get to make the moustache. *What those two don't notice is the unknown female is hidden in the thickness of the trees and vines she readies 3 arrows onto her bow and aims them at Sarukenshi*
Female 2: *under her breath* Your not going to take her. *She lets loose the arrows*
Sarukenshi: Look out! *Sarukenshi pushes Pietro to the side just enough room for the the arrows whizz by the two ripping part of their shirts exposing their torsos*
Pietro:*Touches tree* Wood wall *the trees mold together making a wall blocking the arrows*
Female 2: Hm interesting but that won't be enough. *She fires three more arrows this time it pierces right through the trees Pietro barely has time to react and dodge them*
Pietro: What!? How strong are those arrows?!
Sarukenshi: They're infused with haki, She has to be a Kuja warrior.
Pietro: So what do should we do?
Sarukenshi: Lets just talk to her like Luffy said the Kuja like him and his friends so we will just defuse the situation follow my lead. *Sarukenshi walks out from the wall with his hand raised to each side* Please hold your fire we know you're Kuja, we mean no harm. * Pietro follows suit and stands next to Sarukenshi*
Female 2: Hmph as if you two could cause me harm, But stay where you are one move and you're a pin cushion. *She steps out from her hiding spot and reveal a slim but very fit and endowed young woman with a slight tan and bright red hair wearing a two piece red and orange leather loincloth bottom and top she walks over to the two boys*
Pietro: We already told you we are not gonna attack.
Female 2: Shut up! Like I'm going to trust someone on the receiving end of my bow until they're on the floor bleeding. Isn't that right Akai * Her bow moves and is a light red snakes head peers over her shoulder*
Pietro:..Alright then the bow is a snake shes a Kuja alright.
Female 2: I said shut up! Now…take off your shirts.
Pietro & Sarukenshi: Why!? *They look at each other quizicly*
Female 2: Because I'm going to search you for weapons and it's better when you have them off so do it! *points arrow*
Sarukenshi: Okay just calm down we'll cooperate.
Pietro: Well usually I'd like to have dinner first but whatever fine. *Pietro and Sarukenshi remove their shirts as demanded*
Female 2: Alright now let's take a look…mm *She stares at Sarukenshi's toned body she glances over his muscles and lowers her gaze to his v-cut, she does the same to Pietro as she stares at his abs she then takes notice to the fact they have the mask on* What's the meaning of these bags you should just take these off too *she lifts the two bags off Pietro and Sarukenshi and looks at their faces she looks to Pietro again*…well close enough *Puts Bag back on Pietro*
Pietro: WHY DID YOU PUT MINE BACK ON! *Tears bag off in disgust*
Female 2:…Your face just looks so moody and depressing.
Pietro: Why would you say something so mean *Pietro gets embarrassed and saddened*
Sarukenshi: HAHAHA oh man poor Pietro, maybe it's the dark circles under your eyes.
Female 2: Well it seems like you two are ok guys. The names Layna Telepyleia who are you guys?
Sarukenshi: You can call me Sarukenshi.
Layna: Nice to meet you, and you?
Pietro: Pietro Alexanderson.
Layna: Even your name is mildly depressing.
Pietro: What the hell I can't help that! Its my name and I'm damn proud of it snake girl!
Layna: Chill out I'm just poking fun at you, anyways what are you doing on the island?
Sarukenshi: Well were just looking for a place to rest then Luffy and the others noticed you ship on the shore so..*Layna interrupts*
Layna: Did you say Luffy as in Straw Hat Luffy?
Sarukenshi: So you do know him.
Layna: Of course, I was one of the best guards of the snake Empress we all know about a little about him. *Meanwhile we see what Brook and Usopp have been up to, they've found another young lady*
Usopp: Hey are you Kuja?
Female 1: Nope you're thinking of my sister Layna. You wanna play a game? *The little girl smiles something seems off about her statement*
What game does this girl plan on playing with Usopp and Brook find out in the next chapter.
