Ch 2
"I'm not sure if we should be doing this," said Zoro," Double D was going to warn us about something but then he changed suddenly."
"With 300,000,000 Beri up for grabs," Nami cried," over everyone's dead bodies."
"But Nami-san, there is a problem," said Brook.
"What?" Nami asked looking at him.
"I am already dead, YOHOHOHOHOHO!" Brook laughed, Luffy laughed with him. Franky looked around at the ship.
"Whoever designed this ship must have been super," stated Franky," there are all kinds of structures, as though this entire ship was pieced together from several ship." Usopp looked around worriedly.
"I don't like this," he said," I have the I-Should-Not-Be-On-This-Ship disease."
"Oh, should I try and find a cure?" asked Chopper. But before Usopp answered, Eddy burst out of the door.
"ALL RIGHT!" he cried," LET'S PLAY!" Sarah and Nazz walked out, and the red-headed boy walked out too. Unlike the other people, he had a surly looking face, and glared at the Straw Hats. He walked behind the wheel. Eddy pointed the wheel.
"Choose your color, if it ends up right, you win," he said, the Straw Hats looked at the wheel. It was divided into wedges, all of which except one were red, the other was blue.
"We pick red," Robin spoke up.
"Very good," said Eddy," but just so you know, if you lose, you lose 100,000,000 beri." Nami's eyes widened.
"That is so...," but before she finished, Zoro cut her off.
"That is not so much, we have plenty of money," he said. Nazz and Sarah spun the wheel, and if the Straw Hats have been paying attention to what Kevin might have been doing, they would have saw the beginning of the scam.
"Hayai Hayai Beam," he murmured, making a triangle out of his hand. A triangular beam shot out and hit the wheel, causing it to speed up heavily.
"Why is going so fast?" asked Sanji.
"Puts in a little more chance," answered Eddy. The wheel began to slow down, and it looked like it was going to land on red, but the Straw Hats were so concentrated, that they failed to notice, Nazz's eyes glow white for a moment. The wheel stopped, on blue. The rookie pirates stared.
"Oh to bad," Eddy said with a frown," but rules are rules, that is 100,000,000 Beri gone, ROLF! ED! Get the the loot." Two very tall boys exited the ship, one had blue hair, with a long, almost stretched, neck, and stretched looking arms and legs. The other had almost no chin, and only one eyebrow, one long one that hovered over both eyes. Both were wearing a shirt, and shorts.
"How about another round?" Eddy offered, looking enthusiastic.
"I wouldn't do it," said Zoro," something is strange about this contest, I think that...." But before Zoro could finish, the curly haired boy's (who was on a balcony overlooking) eyes glowed for a brief moment, and then Sarah's eyes glowed as well.
"Never mind, let's go!" cried Zoro, looking pumped. Everyone stared at him, it was not like him to act this way, but they went along. For several rounds they tried, every time losing. Most of them began to think they should stop, but something changed their minds. Eventually, their money was all gone. Eddy immediately held up his hand.
"Well folks, that is it," he said very quickly and urgently," Let's meet again." And without a word, the team slunk back into the ship, and the Straw Hats boarded their ship. Nami collapsed to the ground in tears.
"I can't believe we just lost everything," she sobbed, Robin laid her hand on her shoulder. Brook looked after the ship, which was beginning to sail away, and spotted something, and grabbed it.
"Look at this," he said, holding it up, it was a Wanted Posters magazine, he began to flip threw it, and when he opened up one page, his long jaw dropped.
"What is it?" asked Franky. Brook held up the page. On it read:
The Ed Pirates
Eddy the Scam, 150,000,000 Beri; be warned bounty hunters, Eddy is a trickster, and a cheat. Ate a Devil Fruit that is currently kept classified.
Edd the Gentlemen, 130,000,000 Beri; Eddy's first mate, most people call him Double D, he is a nice person, but is corrupted by the crew all the time. Ate the Fosu Fosu no Mi.
Ed the Idiot, 110,000,000 Beri; the second mate, Ed is very stupid, but is so incredibly strong that he could beat a Fishman in hand to hand combat. Ate the Dashijiru Dashijiru no Mi.
It listed the other members of the crew, each one having a bounty. On the tip of each page on them were three skulls, the middle one with a sneer, the right one with a glum expression, and the left one had a stupid smile. Each member had a tattoo on their arm of that symbol. There was a picture of a ship that matched the ship they had recently seen. It was called the Scammer.
"They were pirates?" Chopper questioned with shock.
"And cheaters at that," added Robin. Nami suddenly shot up, fire in her eyes.
"They cheated out my money, I will snap each and every one of their bones," she roared, which was seconded by Luffy, who had fallen asleep after a couple of wheel spins.
But when they all turned to fight, the Ed Pirates' ship was nowhere to be seen.
