Author note
Hey all, sorry I took a bit of a break hopefully you still enjoy these chapters I'm really excited in how far I've gotten in typing these chapters up hope u share my excitement.
*Layana makes the life changing decision to join Sarukenshi and the Strawhats along with her sister. So with new friends and an extra ship in tow the pirates sail on to their next adventure wherever it may be. It's a radiant sunny clear sky the crew is in a leisurely mood relaxing in their own way, Nami and Asuna are chatting in the tangerine garden*
Asuna: Wow so you really make these?
Nami: That's right I brought them from my hometown Coco Village me and my sister helped our mom with her garden when we were little.
Asuna: That's so cool.
Usopp: If you think that's cool check these out Asuna. *He hands Asuna a pop green seed*
Asuna: What is this long nose?
Usopp: They're my special ammo pop green wanna see it in action?
Asuna: Yeah do it!
Ussop: Alright, Fire pop green Devil! *A large venous fly trap sprouts out of the ground and snarls*
Asuna: Woah! So you can use stuff like that to fight!? *The plant grabs a tangerine with its vine*
Nami: Hey! Hands off don't touch those *The plant tosses the tangerine up and lets it fall into its mouth but just before it lands the blunt end of an arrow hits the tangerine knocking out of its grasp and onto the floor*
Layna: There you go Nami. *She smiles slyly*
Nami: Nice shot Layna *picks up the tangerine and inspects it* and not even a dent on it really accurate.
Usopp: You really are a good sniper I'm glad theres someone I can train with.
Layna: I feel the same, how about we have some target practice?
Usopp: Sure I won't go easy on you though.
Layna: Wouldn't be a good victory for me if you did. *She teases*
Asuna: So Nami where are we headed?
Nami: Hmm well let's see where we can head to *Nami takes a look at her New world log pose to see which of the three logs has a coordinates to an island* If we keep our current pace this log pose shows we'll be at the next island soon.
Asuna: Yay my first adventure with my new friends!
Luffy: That's the spirit Asuna hehee *The two smile brightly* Hey Nami that needle looks pretty shaky doesn't that make that island more exciting.
Nami: Not exciting it makes it dangerous so try not to get into much trouble please.
Zolo: *Yawn* so what's the name of the place we're headed to that's so dangerous?
Nami: Shiboroming.
Zolo: Really now, you seem pretty calm knowing that's where we are going.
Asuna: Hmm why is that? What's so special about that place?
Sarukenshi: Shiboroming also known as the Island of roaming death. Bandits, Samurai, thieves, Marines, Pirates, Bounty hunters, and civilians alike occupy there, it's a bit like Sabody Archipelago's lawless zone but much more extended so trouble is not that hard to find. That island emphasizes the biggest prerequisites of the New World, you need to be strong or have strong luck to live there. On the other hand there's no human trafficking like in Sabody but there is a lot more death, you can get in hot water just from looking the wrong way at someone.
Nami: Which is why I want everyone to be and I can't stress this enough, EXTRA CAREFUL!
Luffy: Huh? Whats the big deal we're plenty strong.
Nami: The deal is I don't want to fight a whole island! We keep as much of a low profile as possible got it.
Luffy: But can't we just..
Nami: GOT IT!?
Luffy: *Closes lips tightly and nods head*
Nami: Now, tell the others we'll be near the island soon.
*Luffy heads downstairs to inform the others*
Pietro: So Saru be honest, how do you think things will go for us on the island?
Sarukenshi:..We'll just have to wait and see for ourselves.
Pietro: True, who knows what's waiting for us.
*As the crew nears their destination a local bar on the island known as the Blue Flame which caters to Pirates, Marines, Bounty hunters and all other inhabitants of the island all in one place. A volatile combination to say the least but surprisingly no huge discretions have occurred. Most believe its because the owner keeps his customers in check, and so in the bar today a three rookie marines are sharing stories of their recent journeys*
Marine brawler: Man being shipped to the New world was definitely the worst call I could get. *the other marines exclaim in agreement*
Marine Rifleman: You can say that again everything about it is hell, the weather is unpredictable, the monsters are rampant, and of course the pirates.
Marine artillery supplier: Aint that the truth seriously why do we let these Warlords do as they please they're all just as low and scum ridden as the small fry pirates tout there. Well at least they got rid of that no good Fishman one.
Marine Brawler: Oh you mean that big Blowfish, what was his name again Jimbo, Gumbee or something. *The bartender washing an empty mug with a towel hears the conversation and replies in an annoyed tone*
Bartender: His name is Jimbei and I'm curious. What do you think that makes him "no good" as you put it?
Marine artillery supplier: Well for one thing he's a filthy mutant fish thing. *The Bartender grips the mug tightly* Not to mention he used to roll with that demon scumbag Fisher Tiger and his evil crew of water breathing minions. *His grip gets even tighter the mug begins to crack on the sides* On top of all that he's a coward switching sides and then running back to his home of fish people spouting off nonsense like living side by side with humans that weak minded bubble sucker. *The mug shatters in the Bartenders hand as he's now starting to fume with anger, he walks out from behind the counter and removes his apron. The Bartender is a gruff looking young man with short and spiked blonde hair light skin, broad shoulders medium height strong muscular build, he's wearing a dark blue karate Gi top with Black pants with "Stand with Fishman Island written along the right leg in red letters and a tattoo of the Sun pirates on his chest. His eyes like daggers aimed straight at the marines and muscles bulging getting ready to tear into them one of the marines notices his pants*
Marine Brawler: hehe what's with the get up boy?
Marine Rifleman: Why you so steamed? What do you like those water breathers or something?
Bartender: See its comments like those that remind me how ignorant some people are but to hear them from such a weak drunkard too it's almost laughable.
Marine artillery supplier: You better watch what you say if you don't want to get hauled off to a jail cell.
Bartender: If that means I won't have to see your ugly faces I'd welcome that.
Marine Brawler: I'm getting real tired of your attitude punk *the marine throws a drinking glass at the bartender which he easily dodges with a slight bob of his head the glass shatters against the wall*
Bartender: Well I'm getting tired of your idiocy and ignorance! *A voice yells from behind the bar*
Voice: Hey hey what seems to be the problem out here? *A man steps out from a room behind the counter he's wearing a Dark purple jacket with the hood over his head his face is hidden*
Bartender: These close minded fools are talking down on Fishman and Jimbei *points over to the broken glass on the wall* not to mention wrecking the place, they'll be going now boss don't worry everything's fine. *The bartender starts to calm down and walks back over to the counter*
Marine Brawler: Running away are ya? Hmph Just like your cowardly fish buddy Jimbuu all talk after all. *The Bartender stops and takes a tight grip on the edge of the counter growing tighter to the point the wood begins to creak then he turns to the Marine*
Boss: Don't do it Hito you know what'll..
Hito: 1000 Brick Fist! *Hito Punches the Marine Brawler launching him through the Bars double doors landing outside the other marines look on in shock then in anger back at Hito*
Boss: ..Aw damn it all not again.
Marine Rifleman: Alright idiot you're going to pay for that! Put him in irons! The other marine puts cuffs onto Hito he gives no resistance as the two marines escort him out the bar*
Boss: Geez why can't that kid just learn to let it slide once in a while. *He watches as Hito continues walking with the marines the rifleman carries the unconscious Brawler* something tells me that things will only get more exciting today. *The boss premonitions may not be wrong for meanwhile on the opposite end of the island Sarukenshi and the others are going over plans on who can go on the island*
Nami: Ok we need to resupply now that we have more members joining us so let's divide into groups alright. The first group is in charge of food Sanji, Saru, Pietro and Layna that's you all.
Next group is Ship supplies, Franky Zolo, Ussop and Luffy. Medical supplies and most important New outfits and accessories! *Smiles cheerily* Asuna, Robin, Chopper, and myself. Lastly we have the ship watchmen Brook and the Toy army.
Brook: I'll protect the ship until I'm no more than skin and bone, oh wait I'm al..
Asuna: You're already bones. *She sticks her tongue out at Brook*
Brook: Yohoho that's right well good luck everyone.
Nami: Alright let's get going, the town market has to be in the center of the island we should ask one of the locals just to be sure.
Luffy: Well alright let's find some people then. *Everyone starts walking but not too far off as they are walking Asuna spots something*
Asuna: Awww its soo cute look at it! * A small panda stands in along their path it's big green eyes studying Asuna and the others then it starts to make a yelping noise*
Nami: Chopper quick what's it saying?
Chopper: "Are you good or bad?" He says.
Luffy: We're pirates *Luffy Grins at the Panda upon hearing this the panda Lunges forward in a jump kick* Woah, HEY! *The panda continues to dash around Luffy throwing wild punches and kicks as Luffy weaves around him*
Female Voice: Bradely stop! We didn't come looking for them. *The source of the voice leaps from the nearby trees and lands in front of the others*
