Authors note

From now on I will write the date and time on the top of every chapter I write no matter how many time a chapter gets updated that date will stay the same. I will however also write when the chapter was last updated, this is to make it easier to know where you have gotten to in the story.

The pirate ship finally came to the island they had been sailing towards for the last 6 days Orochimaru ordered the captain to stop the ship as soon as he saw the island, then Orochimaru said that he didn't want be suspected of being a pirate so he would swim the rest of the way, he also told the pirates to stay away from the town for at least a week so he wouldn't get suspected of being with them and that if they didn't he would kill them himself, He then used a genjutsu on the pirates that made them see him swimming towards the island and then water walked to the shore

After getting to the shore he followed it until he saw a town he then entered the town.

Once he was inside he stole some money from some unlucky passerby's, bought some food, and wandered the town to get a basic idea of the town's layout

The next day Orochimaru wandered the town in a henge and gathered information about the town and its surroundings.

Apparently there was a marine base near the town that was perfect for Orochimaru since if the pirate captain wasn't lying, the marines deserved to get robbed and he needed a ship.

He also had to learn the basics of operating a ship since even if his shadow clones could probably easily act as the crew, they still needed to know what they were supposed to do.

He did plan on getting a proper crew later but he couldn't recruit one here since he would have to tell the ones he recruited how he planned to get a ship.

While gathering information he also heard a lot of stories about pirates of all kinds, and discovered that apparently in this world not all pirates where evil thieves some were just free birds that travelled by sea and refused to ignore when the marines abused their power.

This made Orochimaru consider declaring himself a pirate, since the world government would call him one anyway especially if he stole a marine ship, but he would only do it if the rumors about the marines where true.

He had heard one rumor in particular that he decided to investigate. Apparently an eleven year old boy who was known for constantly getting in fights, and never doing anything but fight and train, had killed a marine lieutenant that had tried to rape his older sister.

According to the only eyewitness (besides his sister but she's in shock and are unable to speak) a friend and sparring partner for the boy who were supposed to eat dinner with the boy and his sister at their home.

They had been training together earlier and were going to the boys home when they got inside the house they went to the kitchen and there they saw the lieutenant pressing the boy's sister against the wall they were about to yell at the lieutenant to stop him, but before they could the man began to rip her clothes of when the boy saw this he attacked the lieutenant in a wild rage at first it looked like the boy where losing but then his skin began to turn red and he became allot faster and stronger the battle ended when the boy hit the lieutenant so hard on the head that his neck snapped about 10 seconds later the boy collapsed this.

The thing that Orochimaru found most interesting however was the fact that according to the doctor who checked the boy before he was taking into custody, most of his muscles were damaged to the point where he wouldn't be able to even walk until they healed. The doctor found this weird since the damage as far as he could see was clearly a result of too much stress on the muscles, but the fight only lasted a few minutes, so no matter how intense the fight was his muscles shouldn't have gotten that damaged according to the doctor. Orochimaru however had a theory how it happened and if he was right then the boy just might be a worthy student.

Orochimaru however wouldn't approach the boy until after his trial since he wanted to see if the boy would actually get a fair trial or if the marines would just ignore the mitigating circumstances and treat the case as a full murder of a marine officer, in which case the boy would be sentenced to execution if they did ignore the circumstances of the officers dead then Orochimaru would follow through with his plan to steal all the valuables in the base and one of the marines ship he would of course also free the boy and offer to take him with him as a student if they did consider the circumstances and gave the boy a fair trial then Orochimaru would find another way to get a ship

Authors note

I know I jump between points of views allot if its irritating but it makes writing a lot easier I also do it because it allows me to avoid naming unimportant minor characters.

And yes although I don't mention them Orochimaru still has his devil fruits but he has sealed them in a scroll that's why he aren't seen carrying around a treasure chest.

Please review and tell me what you think of the story bye.
