Oyabun Luffy's Detective Story - Axe-Head Family, friends or foes?
Chapter 3 - Rivals
"How could this happen?" Onami tearfully said as she was looking out the window at the old building that was across the street, that would soon become their rivals. "God, why do you hate me? If it's about that money I took from those kids, I'll give it back, I swear!"
"Don't blame yourself Onami-san, I'm here for you," Sanji told her as he stayed very close to Onami.
"I wonder what the food will be like in that place? Maybe even better than this place!" Luffy wondered out loud, drooling a little, earning himself a kick from Sanji, making him go flying across the bar and crashing head first into the wall and stuck there in the process.
"Bastard," Sanji mumbled as he put his leg down and turned his attention back to Onami.
"If that café opens, it won't be good for business," Usopp commented. "Although, judging by the state that building is in, they won't be opening anytime soon."
"Oh?" both Onami and Sanji replied as they looked back at Usopp as he nodded
"Mhm, unless they can work really, really, really fast, that building will take months to fix up to make into a bar," Usopp told them as Onami smiled and stood up with her back turned to the window.
"Yosh! There's still time! We must do everything we can make the café bar the best in town, I'll will not be beaten by some newcomers! HAHAHAHA!!!" Onami declared, while in unknown to her, the others shared in shock as they watched though the window outside to see a big twister of smoke suddenly surrounded the rival building and when in seconds, when the smoke cleared, the building was all done up and looked even brand new, and there was a man stood in front of it with a few tools and paint brushes in his hands looking up at it proudly. He short brown hair, with a little of it tied up like the other men, and wore a black kimono with red curl patterns on it and a red shirt underneath and a red cloth draped over his shoulder.
"It…it…it's done!" Usopp eventually replied as Onami's face suddenly dropped and slowly turned around to see the new ready to open café bar across the street.
Meanwhile outside, the man continued to looked on at his finished work very proudly.
"What took you so long?" a voice came as the man turned around to see a group of 4 people coming towards him, and his face lit up.
"ONIRI-SAN! DUSTY-CHAN!!! DO YOU LIKE?" he happily cheered and the instantly shot over to the group of people. One of them was the black haired girl from before, the other girl had orange hair tied up with same hair fox ears on top of her head, she wore a orange kimono with fan patterns on the side of it, and a fox tail sticking out of her back. The other person was a huge fella that clearly was not human but lobster like wore a open light blue kimono with white fish patterns on it and a blue apron. And the last one was a small skinny boy with short, brown, slightly curly hair, with a little part of it tied back and wore a light brown kimono.
"Just who are those people?" Onami wondered out loud as she spied on the new people that had appeared, from inside her bar.
"Mellorine!" Sanji yelled out, in the background, as his eyes were had hearts in them.
"That woman with the black hair, that's the one we met earlier, I think she said she's the owner," Usopp commented.
"Hmm…what do you think Sanji-kun?" Onami asked as she turned to Sanji but he was no longer there than he was just a second ago, Onami looked around to find him, but then sweat-dropped as she looked out of the window. "Sanji-kun…"
"Oh what beauties!, what a honour to have two pretty ladies right across the street!" Sanji declared as he had two roses in his hand, pointing to the two girls of the group while he was down on one knee, taking the girls a little bit by surprise.
"Err…who is this guy?" the black haired woman asked as she tired to contain herself from slapping him away.
"Oi Bastard! Stay away from Oniri-san and Dusty-chan!" he brown aired man from before yelled at him before pushing him away.
"What's your problem?!" Sanji yelled back at him.
"My problem is that these lovely ladies do not want to be drooled over by the likes of you!"
"As of being over by you instead," the black hair girl mumbled.
"You wanna fight bastard!" Sanji continued to yell at him.
"Bring it on!" the brown haired man yelled back at him.
"Sanji-kun, that's enough!" Onami yelled at him as she stepped outside in to the streets, along with Usopp.
"YES, ONAMI-SAN!" Sanji immediately obeyed as he put his leg back down again, but the brown haired man looked over at Onami and gasped.
"Onami-san, eh?" he mumbled before flying over to her, stealing one of Sanji's roses in the process and handing it to her. "What beauty, not even the rose can compare to you," he sweated talked to Onami.
"OI BASTARD!!!" Sanji yelled looking very pissed off, kicking him away in the process, but he easily dodged.
"What's your problem?!" he yelled back at Sanji
"My problem is that this lovely lady does not want to be drooled over by the likes of you!"
"As of being over by you instead," the Onami mumbled.
"You wanna fight bastard!" the man yelled at him.
"Bring it on!" the Sanji yelled back at him as the two started to fight in a cloud of smoke as the others watched on with a sweat-drop hanging down the back of their heads.
"Looks like DJ's meet his double," the fox girl commented as she grinned.
"It would appear so," the lobster man sighed as the black haired girl shook her head and looked back at her café.
"Come on, let's set up," she said as she was about to go inside.
"Hey wait a moment, who are you guys anyway?" Usopp asked them as she suddenly stopped and smirked.
"And why should we do that to the competition? If you can call yourselves that," she replied before disappearing into the café, leaving Onami furious.
"Why I oughta …" she yelled as Usopp tired to hold her back.
"Oh, don't mind her, she get's really serious sometimes, especially when it comes down to business," the fox girl replied as she walked up to them. "Anyway, I'm Dusty," she greeted. "The moody one that just left was Oniri and the love stuck one over there is DJ. That big guy over there, that's Herman and finally the quiet puny one down the is Austin," she pointed out as the boy, now known as Austin, glared up at her, he then went over and kicked her in the shin, making her scream in pain, bouncing up and down on one leg while holding the other which he kicked. "Why you little!!!" she yelled as Austin just ran away and hid behind the tall lobster named Herman, laughing a little in the process, while Onami and Usopp just watched on.
"So, who are you guys then?" Herman asked them.
"Oh, r-r-right, I'm Usopp," he greeted, a little afraid of Herman's appearance as he never had much luck with it came to the mermen species.
"There's no need to be afraid of me, I'm not like the rest," Herman assured him.
"Few, that's good," Usopp sighed in relief as he then looked over at Sanji and DJ who were still fighting. "That's Sanji by the way, and this is…"
"Onami, I'm the owner of the Kazaguruma," Onami simply replied to him.
"Oh…I guess that kind of makes as rivals then," Herman replied, taken back a little at finding out who she was.
"Not if you don't open," Onami told him and she shot an evil glare at them all, scarring them a little.
"Oh, we're gonna open alright," Oniri's voice came as Dusty, Herman and Austin turned back around to see Oniri standing outside again and walking up towards Onami, meeting her glare with hers. "And nothing you say or do if going to stop us!"
"Oh yeah, well bring it on, that's all I'll say," Onami replied as sparks shot between their glares at even other as Usopp and Dusty stood there with there knees shaking in fear of the two women, while Austin continued to hide behind Herman.
"Hold me!" Usopp said.
"Only if you hold me!" Dusty replied.
Meanwhile, up on the rooftop, the fiery red haired girl sat at the top, smiling at little, with another woman sitting beside her.
"What's the matter Chizuru?" the mystery woman asked as she looked over at her.
"Every time," the fiery girl, Chizuru, smiled as she watched the events taking place.
Over in the nearby forest in Grand Jipangu, in a secret hut…
"So that's the plan, do you understand?" Buggy asked the two new members of his family as they sat across from him, with a map of something in between them.
The black haired one just sat there as the blonde one read over the plans more closely wearing his glasses.
"Oh, we understand," the blonde one replied.
"We understand perfectly," the black haired one replied as he looked up and smirked. "Just the thing we need."
