Oyabun Luffy's Detective Story - Axe-Head Family, friends or foes?

Chapter 4 -Opening

"Come one! Come all! See Tomahawk, the best café bar in Grand Jipangu!" Dusty sang as she stood on a platform twirling around. "We've got food, we've got live magic show for you're entertainment…heck, we're got a mime!" she said as something suddenly hit the back of her head. She instantly turned around angrily to see Austin looking away innocently. She was about to go over to get him, but Oniri stepped in her path.

"Dusty, you're supposed to be attracting customers!" Oniri told her and Austin stuck his tongue out at Dusty from behind Oniri.

"Grr…fine then, but don't think I'll forget this!" she warned him as she jumped back on the platform, while Austin laughed a little, but stopped as Oniri turned her attention to him.

"Don't you have tables to clear?" she asked as he looked down, nodded and went on to do his job.

Oniri then smiled as she looked around to see all the customers that were coming in. She then walked over to the back room where the kitchen was.

"Hey Herman, how's it going?" she asked her lobster chef as he was busy preparing lots of different food.

"Wonderful!" he replied as he finished serving up and put the newly prepared food on the counter. "Food's up!" he called out and with in a flash, it disappeared and then reappeared on the customers table.

"Mah, now that's what you call fast service!" a customer, with blue hair and wearing a red and orange striped robe with a small mouse in his top pocket replied to the DJ, the waiter who just brought the food over to him. "Here," he said flicking a coin over to him and DJ instantly caught it.

"Thank you, sir," DJ replied before hearing Herman call and shooting off again.

"Wow, that place sure is something!" a customer with black hair, dark skin, a symbol on the side of his face and wearing a green robe told his friend as they walked away.

"Yeah, I'm defiantly coming back again!" the friend of the first customer replied, he had a red head gear on his head, not muck hair, and wore a yellow chequered robe on.

"Me too!" the black haired customer agreed, unknown to them, they were being watched from the bar opposite.

"Thank you, thank you, come again," Dusty called out as she was demonstrating her magic act in the street for and few children…and Luffy.

"SO COOL!!!" Luffy cheered as he sat with all the little children before Onami bonked him on the head and pulled him back into the Kazaguruma.

"Why is this happening to me?" Onami cried as she returned to the empty, than usual, bar. "We haven't had a customer all day!"

"You've had me," Luffy reminded her, lifting his head up as she dragged him along on the floor.

"You don't count, customers actually pay their bills!" Onami told him, dropping him on the floor.

"Oi Sanji, if you've got no customers to give the food to, can I have it?" Luffy asked as he stood back up with a grinned on his face, making Onami cry even more.

"For the last time, NO!!! Can't you see you're upsetting Onami-san!" Sanji yelled at him and he held Onami close, and once he finished yelling at Luffy, his went back into his love-cook mode. "Ah, Mellorine!"

Normally Onami would of pushed him away, but she was to upset to do anything.

"Hello? Is this place open?" a new voice came as Onami instantly pushed Sanji away to see a new girl standing at the door behind a small reindeer man.

"Oh, hey blue-nose doctor!" Luffy greeted, before seeing the girl behind him. "Eh? Who's this?"

"A CUSTOMER!!!" Onami happily cheered as she shot over to her, while Sanji instantly bounced straight up and shot over to the pretty new girl as well.

"MELLORINE! YES WE ALWAYS ARE FOR YOU!!!" Sanji happily yelled.

"Welcome to the Kazaguruma! May I take your order?" Onami questioned as she and Sanji were right up close to her.

"Oh, err…" the new girl responded, taken back a little from the sudden appearance of them both in her face.

"Oi, Onami, Sanji, please don't scare her away, she's my assistant," Chopper informed her.

"Eh? Assistant?" Usopp asked.

"Err…yeah, that's right…" she replied, still being a little freaking out by the look of beri and heart sins in Onami and Sanji's eyes. "My name's Kirsty."

"Well Kirsty, you must of had a long day, come in and we'll get you something," Onami said as she pulled Kirsty away and sat her down at a table, still looking t her with Beri signs in her eyes, while Chopper followed on and sat next to her. "Would you like something to eat or drink?"

"Err…tea would be nice," Kirsty replied, afraid to turned her down.

"YOSH! One tea coming up," Onami replied as she turned to the kitchen. "Sanji-kun!"

"Already there!" Sanji replied as he already had a cup of tea ready and placed in front of Kirsty.

"Oh…thank you, that was fast," Kirsty replied, little surprised. 'This guy could really give him a run for his money,' she wondered to herself before reaching into her robe pocket and handing over a bill. "Here, keep the change," she said as Onami instantly took the money and cheered happily while Sanji was also happy at the complete given to him.

"Well…at least their happy now," Usopp replied before turning back to Kirsty and started introducing everyone.

"Wow, you lot seem like a nice group of people," Kirsty replied after being introduced.

"So, how long have you been blue-nose doctor's assistant then?" Usopp asked her.

"I just started this morning," Kirsty replied as she took a slip of her tea.

"Yeah, lucky she was there when I wasn't seeing as I was running late today. It's funny though, I didn't even know I was getting an assistant until we meet," Chopper replied as Kirsty suddenly paused from drink for tea for a second before putting it back down on the table.

"Well, it was sort of a last minute thing!" Kirsty quickly replied as they just looked at her before Luffy broke into laughter.

"So, many strange new people arriving today," he laughed before finishing up his meal in one big gulp and standing up.

"Oi, Oyabun, where are you going?" Usopp asked.

"I'm going fishing," Luffy simply replied before turning back to Kirsty and Chopper. "Come along, it'll be fun!"

"HOW CAN YOU EVEN THINK OF GOING FISHING AT A TIME LIKE THIS!!!" Usopp yelled at him.

"Why not?"

"What's going on?" Kirsty whispered over to Chopper.

"I'm not sure," he whispered back. "Oi Usopp, what's the matter?"

"Well…" Usopp paused as he turned back to Chopper. "In this down by the river, there were 8 thousand of them vs. me alone, and they didn't stand a chance," Usopp told him.

"READY?! AWESOME!" Chopper cheered as his eyes lit up, while Kirsty just sighed, not believing a word of it, although she still smiled.. "YOU'RE SO COOL, USOPP!!!"

"How brave of you!" Kirsty told him as she decided to play along.

"Yes, yes, thank, thank you," Usopp replied as he bowed proudly.

"Liar," Zoro's voice came as Usopp's (as well as Chopper's) face dropped. They all suddenly turned to see Zoro sitting up form the floor after passing out from his nap.

"Huh, I see you're finally woken up," Sanji commented.

"With help from you, man you guys are so noisy," Zoro said as he scratched his head and yawned a little.

"Oh, weren't you gonna tell us about those two people?" Usopp asked as Zoro just looked up at him.

"Shouldn't we wait for Oyabun first?" he asked.

"Oyabun? But he's…" Usopp replied as he turned around to see Luffy was no longer there. "GONE!"

"He stuck out while you were telling tails," Sanji said before turning back to Zoro. "He can find out later, but you can tell us now."

"Fine…" Zoro replied as they all gathered around him and he sat up straight. "There is a man like of which you described as using a two sword technique. I believe they call him Devon, the Demon."

"The Demon?" Onami questioned as Zoro nodded, Usopp and Chopper shock in fear of the name, while Kirsty and Sanji just sat there listening.

"Sounds scary!" Chopper said, still shaking a little.

"What a sinful name to call someone," Sanji commented.

"True, but they don't call him that for no reason though," Zoro replied.

"But there were two of them, weren't there? If this Demon guy is one of them, who's the other one?" Sanji asked as Zoro just closed his eyes and thought back.

"If I remember right, the last time anyone saw this Demon, he had an accomplice with him. Tell me, did other man have a large weapon wrapped up that he carried on his back?"

"YES! THAT'S EXACTLY IT!" Usopp stood up and yelled. "Who is he?"

"Nobody knows his real name, that's a mystery as well as everything else about him, although people named him after his huge weapon that he carries, they call him…Axe."
