Another Nakama Omakes
Disclaimer: The disclaimer has been stolen.
A/N: This is an Omake Request that has been coming for a long time. Mr. Hourglass requested that I write an omake of the Spade Pirates fighting a major battle while JediMasterChris1requested that I do an omake of Ace and the Spade Pirates fighting the marines when he declined becoming a warlord. This request fits both.
Spade Pirates Omake:
Ace the Warlord?
-x-
The Spade Pirates had finished their tour of the world's oceans and had now decided that it was time for them to face the legendary ocean known as the Grand Line.
16 year old, long-haired, two-eyed Ricky currently known around the East, North, South and West Blue as the Jack of Spades leaned back against the railing of the Spade Pirates' ship that had been designed by their shipwright Deuce.
"I keep telling you… I'm not a ninja…" the Spade Pirates' scout and resistant stealth expert tried to correct Ricky. He was the Ten of Spades that Ricky had dubbed 'Deck'.
"Then why do you dress like one?" Ricky quipped.
Deck rubbed his forehead and closed his eyes which displayed the black rings that were around them. His dark hair was shaved short and he wore a tight black top and pants. There was a hood on the back of his top that doubled as a mask.
"Let's go over this again…" Deck suggested, "I'm not a ninja… I worked for a government organization called Cipher Pol 3 or CP3. It's an intelligence task force that performed special missions for the World Government. When I was working for them I found out something that they didn't want me to know so they had me executed. They would have succeeded if you guys hadn't found me when you did."
"I'm still gonna say you're a ninja," Ricky insisted.
"Why do I even bother?" Deck muttered.
"So what did you find out?" Ricky inquired.
"I just told you that they tried to kill me," Deck reminded him. "Are you really asking me to tell you what they tried to kill me over?"
"We're wanted pirates," Ricky pointed out. "They're already trying to kill us. Plus, with Ace as our Captain they're not going to stop any time soon."
"If I tell you… will you promise to keep it a secret and stop calling me a ninja?"
"I promise to keep it a secret," Ricky vowed. He blatantly left out the ninja part.
Deck's eye twitched. "Fine. It's public knowledge that CP3 isn't the only government intelligence organization. There are others. They go from CP1 to CP8. Those are the ones that everyone knows about. CP1 through CP4 are based in the North Blue, West Blue, South Blue and East Blue. CP5 through CP8 are based in the Grand Line. The agents for each organization have special skills that allow us to get in and out of tricky situations but we're restricted from killing anyone."
"If you were working to gather intelligence why would they try to kill you for finding something out?" Ricky questioned. "Wasn't that your job?"
"It is," Deck agreed, "But what I found out was about the World Government itself. It turns out that there's a special, top secret organization called Cipher Pol 9 or CP9. They're an exclusive elite task force that doesn't have the restrictions about killing that the rest of the organizations do. The World Government uses them to cover things up and make people disappear. That's why they're supposed to be a secret."
"So… they tried to kill you for finding out about their secret group," Ricky noted.
"CP9 came after me themselves," Deck told him. "Well, one of them did. He used these special fighting techniques that I couldn't hope to match. None of my attacks could get through his defense and he tore me apart with his bare hands and left me for dead."
"But you were riddled with bullet holes and blade-like slashes when we found you," Ricky recalled. "How could he do all that with his bare hands?"
"Those were his special techniques," Deck explained. "He could also move faster than I could keep up with. Now that you know about this, you'd better watch out. I'll never forget the man that attacked me. He smelled like a dog and had the eyes of a wolf."
CAW! Both Ricky and Deck flinched and looked up in time to see a seagull with a marine cap fly down from overhead.
"Shit, did they find out you told me already?" Ricky asked in alarm.
The seagull landed on the railing beside Ricky and pulled a letter out from its mailbag. Ricky reached out for the letter but the seagull pulled it away.
"Damn bird," Ricky complained. "Give it…" Ricky reached for again but again the seagull pulled the letter out of his reach. "The hell?"
"Having trouble with the bird, kid?" Deck taunted.
Ricky reached out and again the bird pulled the letter out of his reached as it hopped further away along the railing.
"Damn it, do you want me to read your letter or not?" Ricky demanded.
"Jack… it says 'Portgas D. Ace' on it," Deck pointed out. "It's not for you."
"Stupid bird," Ricky growled before he shouted towards the galley. "HEY ACE! THE MARINES SENT YOU A LETTER!"
Ace came out of the galley followed by Han and Ollie. The Royal Flush officers of the Spade Pirates assembled by the railing as the seagull allowed Ace to take the letter.
Ace opened the letter and casually scanned its contents. "Heh heh…" Ace let out a low chuckle. "Hahaha!" The chuckle grew to a full blown laugh. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"What's so funny?" Ricky asked.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Ace kept laughing as he wordlessly handed the letter to Ricky.
"Hah-ha! I'm gonna read your letter anyway!" Ricky taunted the seagull on the railing.
"Ricky, you realize you're yelling a bird, right?" Ollie pointed out.
"Quiet Queen!" Ricky retorted. "That bird's a pretentious asshole!"
"It works for the Marines," Han reminded them. "What did you expect?"
CAW! The offended seagull took off and flew away.
"Would you just read the letter so we can find out what's so funny," Deck suggested.
"Yeah, yeah," Ricky agreed as he began to read the letter out loud to the others. "'Portgas D. Ace, Your actions in the worlds four oceans have drawn the attention of the World Government. We at the Marines would like to offer you a position as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.' Hah-ha! Are they serious? HAH-HAHAHAHA!"
Ricky leaned to the side and held onto the still-laughing Ace for support.
"I don't get what's so funny," Han admitted.
"Gimme that!" Ollie growled as she snatched the letter from Ricky and continued reading where he left off. "'As a Warlord you will receive full amnesty from the World Government. Your bounty will be rescinded and our forces will no longer pursue you. In exchange, you will donate a portion of the treasure you collect from the various pirates you defeat in your travels to the World Government. You are also required to aid the Marines in dealing with pirates that the World Government deems a global threat. Since we believe that you now intend to head into the Grand Line our forces will meet you at Reverse Mountain and aid you in reaching the Grand Line should you accept but will stop you from continuing onward is you decline the position.' And its signed 'Fleet Admiral Sengoku'."
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Ace and Ricky were still laughing.
"HAH-HA!" Ricky barked as he held his stomach. "THEY COULDN'T KILL HIM SO NOW THEY WANT HIM TO WORK FOR THEM!"
"I still don't get it," Han confessed.
"Maybe it's an inside joke?" Ollie suggested.
"Something tells me that the Marines aren't going to like Ace's answer," Deck noted.
-x-
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!/HAH-HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Ace and Ricky laughed in the face of Rear Admiral Raspberry, the younger brother of Vice Admiral Strawberry, when he asked if Ace had accepted the position as Warlord.
Rear Admiral Raspberry glared at the two laughing brothers through half-closed eyes as he stood at the front of his Marine Battleship while two others flanked him.
Ricky managed to reign in his laughter to give an actual response, "You Marines failed to kill him as a baby, you can't catch him as a teenaged pirate and now you actually expect him to agree to work for you stuffy losers? HAH-HA! Yeah right!"
"I decline," Ace announced.
"If you refuse to serve the Marines then that makes you our enemy!" Raspberry insisted. "Now we're under orders to stop you from reaching the Grand Line."
"Yeah, I figured you would," Ace admitted.
"FIRE FIST ACE!" Raspberry roared. "YOU WON'T GET THROUGH THIS BLOCKADE!"
"Three ships… you call that a blockade?" Ricky questioned.
"I'm disappointed," Ace said, "You're trying to stop me from entering the Grand Line and you only set three ships?"
"I AM REAR ADMIRAL RASPBERRY!" the Marine roared. "I'M MORE THAN ENOUGH TO STOP YOU! YOU'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE!"
Ace grinned. "CANNONBALL, FIRE!"
KA-BOOOM-BOOOM! The cannons directly under the front deck fired but instead of firing two separate cannonballs. The cannon fired two balls that were joined together by an iron bar. The joined cannonballs spiraled through the air then ripped through the main mast of Rear Admiral Raspberry's lead ship. KER-RESH!
"Wha…" Raspberry stammered in surprise then turned around in time to see his main sail fall over. KRASSHH!
"Looks like you're the one who isn't going anywhere," Ace commented. "FIRE FIST!" FWOOOOSH! Ace shot a big column of fire out from his hand that completely destroyed Raspberry's ship and caused the burning wreckage to sink into the ocean.
"I guess he's Rear Admiral Roasted Raspberry now," Ricky remarked.
"Now for the other two," Ace decided.
"Whoa, hold on!" Ricky protested. "Don't hog all the action for yourself. The rest of us are getting bored."
"Alright fine," Ace relented as he turned to address the rest of the crew. "King, take Ten and Two through Five on the one ship. Jack, you and Queen take Six through Nine on the other. It looks like there are about ninety Marines on each ship so you're looking at fifteen-to-one odds."
"Hey Lucky!" Ricky called out to the samurai that was on their ship. "Wanna draw us a bridge so we can get over there easier?"
The samurai was a large man with long hair that nearly touched the floor. He had makeup on his cheeks and was dressed in a samurai robe with a bow on the front. But instead of a sword, this samurai had a large paintbrush strapped to his back.
"I told you, my name's not Lucky!" 'Lucky' protested. "It's Kan—"
"Less talky, more bridge drawing!" Ricky cut him off.
"The sooner I get back to Wano Country the better…" Seven grumbled as he pulled the paintbrush off of his back and drew a long bridge on the front deck of the pirate ship. "APPEAR!" There was a puff of smoke and a full three-dimensional bridge appeared on the deck. The Samurai flicked his paintbrush and the bridge launched off the front of the ship and one edge smacked down on the railing of one of the marine ships.
"You call that a bridge?" Ollie asked as she, Ricky, Six and Nine stared at the crooked, crudely drawn wooden bridge.
"It'll do," Ricky resolved. "Cannonball! Hurry up! We're going!" A hefty man with a perfectly round head came out on the deck and ran after Ricky as he led his group across the bridge to the enemy ship.
Meanwhile Han aimed a gun at the other marine ship and fired. BANG! A harpoon shot from the end of the gun and sank into the side of the ship. SHUNK!
"Ace, Grundy, help me reel 'em in," Han requested as he grabbed onto the chain that had been attached to the harpoon. Ace and a large man with pale white skin, gray hair and a big battle ax on his back came over and grabbed the chain.
WOOOSH! Ace, Han and Five all pulled on the chain and with their combined strength THEY YANKED THE MARINE SHIP TOWARDS THEM!
SPLOOOSH! The Marine battleship splashed down in the water right next to the Spade Pirates' ship. Han led the way as he leapt onto the front deck of the enemy ship. Han flipped his gun off his back and held it tucked under his arm as he aimed at a cluster of marines and fired. KA-BOOOOOM!
"YAH!" Deuce the Shipwright shouted as he leapt onto the marine battleship after Han. He wore blue overalls and wielded a pair of serrated saw-like swords. SLISH! SLISH! Deuce wielded his saw blades like a pair of dual swords and sliced down the incoming marines. KLANK! He raised his swords together to block a marine's sword then lashed out again. SLA-SLISH! The marine tumbled backwards but more took his place.
"HAH!" Treys the Cook jumped over after Deuce and threw a pair of knives at two the marines. CHUNK! CHUNK! The two dropped to their knees and Treys landed in front of them and withdrew his bloody knives. He wore a black chef uniform and an opened black jacket that had countless throwing knifes strapped inside it. A long chef's knife hung at his side but remained untouched.
"HEE-YAH!" Four shot over the railing wearing with his long braid flowing behind him and drove his foot into the face of an unlucky marine. WHAP! The Gi-wearing martial artist spun around and blocked an incoming strike with his forearm then switched his grip on the marine's hand around and flipped the man over his shoulder into two approaching marines. WHAM! All three marines crashed to down to the deck.
TMP! "RAAAH!" The huge fifteen-foot tall Grundy roared as he landed on the deck of the marine ship and drew his huge battle ax. SLA-SLISH! One swing of the double-bladed ax sent four marines flying away from him. Grundy spun around to face three more approaching marines and smashed the side of his ax into the deck. WHAM! The shockwave from the impact blasted the three marines backwards. SHOOM!
Meanwhile, Ricky drew his sword and landed on one of the thin side decks of the ship. He was almost immediately swarmed by marines but he quickly slashed his sword and spun around in a circle. "Red Blade… TORNADO!" SLA-SLISH! The red blade sent the marines flying back away from him. More marines took their place and rushed in from both ends of the thin deck.
SHUK! An arrow landed in front of one crowd of marines and exploded. KA-BOOM! The marines were blasted backwards as Ollie landed on the deck beside Ricky. A large marine with a sword ran in and Ollie quickly spun around and blocked the incoming strike with her bow. KLAK! Ollie tilted her bow to the side and the marine's sword slid along it and threw him off balance before she quickly spun around and smacked the big man with her bow. WHAM! The marine was knocked back but was caught by two more.
SKISH! SKISH! Two identical blond men landed on the railing then grabbed Ollie's shoulders as they vaulted over her. WHA-WHAM! The twins flipped over Ollie and slammed into the three marines and knocked them all to the ground. Another big marine ran in and Six quickly jumped up and kicked him in the face while Nine dropped down and swept the big man's legs. THWAK-WAK! The marine toppled over.
Large crowds of marines charged in from both sides of the thin side deck. Ricky and Ollie turned to face one oncoming group while the Twins faced the other.
TMP! "GET DOWN!" Cannonball called out as he landed behind the Twins and held a huge man-sized cannon on his shoulder. The Twins ducked as Cannonball pressed the first of two triggers on his cannon. ZZZZZOOOOM! The incoming marines were pulled off balance as the cannon started to suck in air. Cannonball pressed the second trigger. BOOOOOOM! The marines were blown backwards as the vacuum cannon released the air that it had just sucked in as a powerful blast.
At the same time, Lucky turned and used his paintbrush to draw a large bear on the wall of the ship. It had big teddy bear-like ears and long arms like a gorillas that were topped with jagged, mismatched claws. "APPEAR! ATTACK BEAR!" The large, badly drawn bear came out of the wall and roared as it charged at the marines and started to slash at the marines with its crudely drawn claws.
"He calls that a bear?" Ricky questioned.
"Seems a waste for someone like him to have those powers," Ollie remarked.
"The way is clear!" Lucky called out. "CHARGE!"
Ricky turned and ran along the deck. The Twins rolled passed Ollie and ran behind him. Ricky hadn't hit his growth spurt yet and only stood at five foot six. The blond, acrobatic twins were only an inch taller than him. But they easily made up for their lack of size with their agility.
Ollie, Cannonball and Lucky ran behind Ricky and the Twins. They came to the front deck in time to see a firing squad that stood in front of the rest of the marines take down Lucky's badly drawn bear with a hail of gunfire. BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM! The bear went down and the marines quickly attempted to reload.
SHOO! Ollie jumped up over Ricky and quickly fired off an arrow before any of the marines could shoot. The arrow sank into the nozzle of the lead gunman's gun and then exploded. KA-BOOOM-BOOOOOOM! The arrow's explosion was fueled by the gun powder in the marine's gun which caused the explosion to double in size and flew the front three rows of marines backwards.
"Red Blade… HURRICANE!" Ricky followed up and slashed his sword as he spun through the blown up marines. SLA-SLISH! Ricky landed and stood tall in the middle of the crowd of the marines that remained. The six of them had already taken out half of the men on the ship. "Come on, marines! We're just getting started!"
Across the water on the other ship, Han and the others were still fighting. BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! Han fired off shot after shot from his gun and blasted the marines away. He pulled a lever on the back of his cannon gun and fired again. FWOOOOOOSSH! Han fired a torrent of flames at the marines and sent another cluster of them flying.
KLINK! Treys used a knife like a kunai and blocked an incoming marines sword. The cook quickly spun and slashed the marine with the knife in his other hand. SLISH! Treys spun passed the marine and threw his first knife into the stomach of another charging marine. CHUNK! The cook's lost knife was quickly replaced as he pulled another one out from within his black chef's coat.
KLANG! Deuce had joined his two saw-swords together to form a double-bladed broadsword. He deflected a strike from a marine then slashed him across the stomach with this sword. SLASH! A big marine ran in and swung a sword from overhead. KLANK! Deuce knocked the marine's sword up into the air then pulled the two saws apart and slashed the big marine twice across the chest. SLA-SLISH!
"HAH!" WHAP! Four deflected a marine's sword with the back of his hand then quickly grabbed the marine's arm and threw him over his shoulder into two other marines. WHAM! The martial artist quickly spun and drove his foot into another marine's stomach for a hard back kick. THWAK! Four spun again and tucked his arm into this side then shot it out and connected with a punch to the chest that seemed to combine three different martial arts style. "HYAH!" KA-POW! The hapless marine shot backwards and plowed into a group of five more and took them all down.
"RAAAAHH!" Grundy roared as he slashed a marine with his big. SLOSH! The marine was knocked backwards, smashed into two others and all three of them careened over the railing and crashed down into the ocean. SPLASH! Grundy jumped up into the air then came down and drove his ax into the deck. SHOOOM! The deck cracked on impact and a shockwave went out that knocked down the remaining marines.
A now lone captain stood by the railing and stared at his decimated forces in shock. SKISH! Deck suddenly jumped up over the railing and grabbed the captain as he flipped over him and smashed the man face-first into the deck of his ship. WHOMP!
"All clear here," Deck resolved.
THWAK-WAK! Six jumped off of Nine's back and dropkicked two marines in the face. The two marines went down but a bigger one ran in to take their place. Six rolled forward and kicked the bottom of the big marine's leg. THWAK! The marine stumbled and tripped and Nine quickly ran in then grabbed him and dropped the marine face first to the floor. WHAM!
ZOOOOOOOM! Cannonball's vacuum cannon pulled another group of marines off balance as it sucked in the air around him then be pressed the second trigger. BOOOOOOOOOM! The marines were still off balance and couldn't avoid the blast of concentrated air is it plowed into them and blew them all clear over the railing into the ocean. SPLA-SPLASH!
Shoo! KA-BOOOOM! Ollie fired an arrow and blasted away another group of marines. She reached back for another one but found her quiver empty. SWISH! Ollie ducked under a big Marine Captain's sword then hit him with her bow. WHAK! The marine captain staggered backwards but didn't go down. "Hey Lucky! I need an arrow!"
Seven stood in between two twelve-foot-tall crudely drawn samurai who were more than effective in fighting off all the marines that approached with their jagged swords. The samurai that they called 'Lucky' used his paintbrush to draw an arrow on the deck. "APPEAR!" The simple but still pointed arrow become real as the samurai grabbed it and threw it towards Ollie. "HERE IT COMES!"
WHISH! Ollie used her bow to pole-vault over the Marine Captain then reached up and caught the arrow in midair. She fitted the crudely drawn arrow into her bow and landed behind the Marine Captain. The big Captain turned to face her just as she fired. CHUNK! The barely triangle head of the arrow sank into the Marine Captain's chest and finally took him down.
"JAVELIN KICK!" CRUNCH! Ricky knocked out a marine with a kick to the jaw then spun around and blocked a charging marine's sword with his own. KLANK! Ricky knocked the marine's sword upward then jumped up and did a spinning slash. "Red Blade… VOLCANO!" SLA-SLISH! The marine dropped to the mat while Ricky landed beside him. He glanced around the deck and saw that his group had dispatched the last of the marines.
"Looks like we're all clear here too," Ricky noted.
"HOW DARE YOU!" Ricky turned in time to see a soaking wet Rear Admiral Raspberry climb over the railing onto the front of his ship. "You filthy pirates!"
Ricky charged at the Rear Admiral and slashed his sword. SWISH! Raspberry leaned to the side and avoided Ricky's attack.
"It'll take more than a boy to beat me!" the Rear Admiral scoffed. He lashed out his leg and kicked Ricky in the chest. THWAK! Ricky tumbled backwards across the deck.
"RICKY!" Ricky turned to see Ace standing on the railing behind him. "LIGHT UP! FOXFIRE!" FWOOOOOM! Ace shot a dark, almost red blast of fire out of his arm and hit Ricky in the back. But instead of burning him, the flames sent him rocketing back towards Raspberry in the blink of an eye before the Rear Admiral could even react.
"WILDFIRE LIGHTNING STRIKE!" SLASH! Ricky slashed the Rear Admiral with this flame-covered sword and the marine officer went flying back over the railing and dropped down into the water again. SPLOOSH!
"That fox fire attack of theirs is the only reason I put up with you pirates," Lucky stated.
"Why's that?" Ollie asked.
"It reminds me of a friend," the samurai answered.
"Alright crew," Ace addressed his crew once they'd reunited on the deck of their ship. "That takes care of the blockade. Next stop, the Grand Line!"
"YEAH!" the Spade Pirates cheered as the continued towards Reverse Mountain and the legendary ocean that lay beyond it.
-x-
Since this omake was fulfilling two requests I made it a little longer than normal. I hope you enjoyed it and that recognized the familiar face that was on Ace's crew once upon a time as well as picked up on which CP9 agent Ricky is going to be fighting at Enies Lobby.
'Till Next Time…
Peace!
