Kidnapping Marines!?
Chapter 6
"So what did you do to get the Marines so angry at you?" The old man inquired. Ussop proudly stated, "We were saving a young maiden from the hands of the evil Marines!" The old man was confused now. 'evil marines…?' Thought the confused man. Chopper nodded proudly with partner.
"The Marines are evil?" The old man said slowly. Chopper bounced up (literally) into the old mans face with a fierce look in his eyes. "Yes! They were bossing around some poor lady at the bar!" The man gave the 'fearsome' pirates a stern look. Ussop realized that the old man was having a hard time believing them, after all he had the look given to him all the time.
"Don't you believe us?" Ussop exclaimed, Chopper looked confusedly at the old man. The old man nodded. Chopper then stated, "It shouldn't be hard to notice that the government is actually bad, after all they do treat everyone like dirt." Chopper had serous glint in his eyes as he looked hard into the old mans eyes.
The man scratched his head, "Well since I've never met pirates before, I'm not sure I can trust your word." Ussop and Chopper sweat dropped, 'Did he just say he's not sure he can trust a pirate?'. The old man continued, oblivious to the strange looks the sniper and reindeer gave him. "You see I've never seen or heard of the Marines acting hostile to anyone but criminals, even then they still don't treat them with any disrespect. Actually they are quite a polite group youngsters."
Ussop and Chopper's eyes and mouths widened in disbelief. They pointed their fingers at them and shouted, "Now your lying!" The man glared at the two pirates and turned his back. "And here I was thinking of giving you a place to stay the night, seeing as its starting to get dark." The old man started walking to his house.
"huh?" Chopper and Ussop said as they both turned around. The two looked at the setting sun. They turned their eyes towards the old man's back. '3..2..1..' The old man counted in his head.
As soon as he got to one, the two pirates grabbed a hold of his legs and started begging. "Please don't let us sleep in the streets with the scary Marines!" Said one of them. They were both wailing so loud he couldn't tell which one was saying what. "You're the most truthful person I know! And sweet and caring and nice and pretty and handsome and and and smart and…" Both of them had lakes of tears forming in their eyes.
The old man smirked, 'that got them on their knees fast'. "All right, All right. You can stay the night, but your out the in the morning!" Now the pirates had grabbed hold of his waist and started hugging him. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" They repeated over and over again. The old man sighed, 'This is going to be one long night'.
The two pirates had calmed down when they were inside the old mans house and had stopped hugging him. The house wasn't that great. It was old and falling apart. Most of the metal in the house was rusted, matching the burgundy colored walls.
The man welcomed them into his home, "I know it isn't great but it's still home. By the way I'm Jack Rozaime. I'm the towns blacksmith." The man ushered the two teenagers to his table. The table was a bit rickety and had coffee stains all over it. "So how about some coffee or tea?" Chopper and Ussop both requested tea. The table was right in the center of the kitchen so the pirates and the old man could still talk to each other.
As Jack put the kettle on the stove, Ussop attempted to make small talk. "Are you building anything right now?" Jack scurried across to the other side of the kitchen to get mugs. "Well I'm not sure. You see the admiral has asked me to help her upgrade her spear." Jack said as he walked to the stove with mugs in his hand. "Is her spear really important?" Ussop asked since he was starting to get curious.
"Yes, it is. Well that's what the rumors say." Now Jack was leaning against the counter next to the stove. "What do the rumors say?" Ussop questioned, before Chopper asked a question. "Um could you tell me where the bathroom is, please?" Chopper said timidly.
Jack answered Chopper's question first. "Sure, it's the door next to the door that says 'Workshop'. Chopper gave a quiet 'thank you' before hopping off the chair and walking towards the bathroom. Jack gave his attention to Ussop and spoke, "The rumors say that she forged her spear's blade from two cursed swords and the wood from the Tree of Time. It's just rumors though." Ussop was being drawn to the story of this spear's origin.
"Tree of Time?" Ussop said curiously. Jack looked stunned for a moment but that vanished when he answered Ussops question. "Oh the Tree of Time is just an old fairy tale from these parts. You see the story says that all plants are just branches and roots of the Tree of Time. The Tree of Time has been alive since the dawn of time. The story states that the Tree carried every single fruit and that it's wood was as strong as steel. Apparently the Tree gave food to the first living creatures, but if you ask me that's a load junk." Ussop agreed with the blacksmith.
"Yeah out of all the stories I've heard that's probably the least believable one yet. Seriously a tree that big would have been noticed by some one by now. Only the ocean could hide something that big!" Ussop exclaimed with his arms up in the air. Jack then said, "Actually that's what the story says. To be more precise it says the Tree was hidden the ocean by Merman Island." Ussop eyes widen as if to say 'Woah, seriously?'.
"I… don't feel so good." Came a voice from the bathroom door. Ussop and Jack looked at the bathroom. Chopper was leaning against the door frame, panting. Suddenly Chopper closed his eyes and fell to the ground. "Chopper!" Ussop yelled as he ran towards the little reindeer. Jack was close behind Ussop. Jack scooped up Chopper in his arms and carried him back to the kitchen. Jack placed him on top of the table. Almost immediately, Chopper stopped panting and opened his eyes. Chopper sat up and moved his arms and legs around, testing them to see if they worked properly.
"Chopper! What happened!?" Ussop yelled in concern. "Yeah what happened there?" Jack questioned. Chopper looked down at his hooves on his hand, clacking them together. Chopper looked down at the table and said, "It felt like I was near Sea Stone." Chopper's eyes were filled with unshed tears and his voice was cracking. He looked terrified. Ussop forehead was filled with lines of worry, 'Poor guy, it must feel terrible.'.
Jack finally spoke, "oh I'm sorry." Ussop and Chopper turned towards Jack with confused eyes. "What do you mean, Jack-san?" Chopper asked. Jack scratched his head, "Well you see, you know how the admiral wants to upgrade her spear?" The pirates nodded. " One of the things she wants to do is grind up bits of Sea Stone and fuse it with her spears blade. To do this she has asked some mining companies to gather up the Sea Stone they can get. She has requested that I grind up the Sea Stone I can. I keep it all in my workshop which is next to the bathroom."
Jack had a guilty look on his face. Chopper tried to cheer him up, "It's okay Jack-san you didn't know, besides you were just doing your job." Chopper gave him a reassuring smile. Ussop however didn't feel as forgiving as Chopper. "Didn't you even think that he was a Devil Fruit user?" Ussop asked Jack rudely, Jack didn't seem to pick up on the rudeness though. "Um no…why would I?" Jack said quietly. Ussop just sweat dropped, 'How clueless was this guy?'. "He's a talking reindeer!" Ussop practically shouted. Jack's glasses twinkled a little bit and he pointed his index finger straight up into the air. "Oh yeah! I forgot!"
Ussop and Chopper just sweat dropped once again. "Can I go to bed now?" Ussop mumbled. "Sure! It's right up the stairs!" Jack replied enthusiastically, oblivious to the fact that they thought he was crazy.
"See you in the morning!" Jack called out to them as they walked up the stairs.
"Crazy moron" Ussop mumbled.

"Yo Sanji! Wake up!" The blue haired cyborg shouted at the cook. Chef shifted in his bed so that his back was facing Franky.
"Is Nami-san here?" Asked the cook.
"No" Replied the cyborg.
"Is Robin-chan here?" Sanji mumbled.
"No" Franky repeated.
"Is there any beautiful woman here?" Sanji whined.
"No" Franky said, getting fed up with his friends questions.
"Then get lost!" Sanji shouted as he threw a pillow at Franky. Franky shielded himself with his arm. "Come on lets go!" Franky begged. "Why?" Sanji complained as he put his face right in to the pillow. "Cause I need to get some cola's! I'm totally drained!" Franky said as he flicked his drooping hair out of his eyes. "Go your self." Sanji moaned through the pillow. "But I have no money! Besides asking all those pretty ladies for some cash would be rude!" Franky was smirking as he said this.
Sanji then popped out of bed and ran out the door. "Franky hurry up! We can't keep the ladies waiting!" Franky smiled as he ran out the door to catch up with the love-cook, 'Baka, what pretty ladies are going be at the bar at six in the morning?'.
Just before exiting the room they were sharing Franky grabbed Sanji's pants and shirt. "Hey baka your forgetting something!" Franky shouted down the corridor. Franky expecting Sanji to come sprinting back for his clothes, stopped and waited for him. Franky stood there for about three minutes. It should have taken Sanji three seconds to come and get his clothes.
"Yo Sanji?" The cyborg called out. Franky was starting to get worried about the cook. Franky walked up the corridor, at the end of the hall was a corner leading to the stairs. Franky turned the corner. "What!?" Franky said quietly. On the ground was Sanji in his underwear. He looked unconscious. Franky walked a few feet closer. Upon inspection, Franky found a dart below his ear, in his neck.
Suddenly Franky turned around, he swore he heard the a door squeaking. Franky walked over to the corner, he peered around the side, nothing. The hall was empty. All the doors leading to the different rooms were closed. Franky sighed, thinking that the place must have a rat problem. Franky turned around to face Sanji's unconscious body but only to find a human wall of Marines holding dart guns.
Franky smirked, 'so there after us, huh? Well they won't be able to shoot m with sleeping darts cause my entire front is a metal armor. As long as I don't turn my back they-' Franky was unable to finish his thought as his body fell to the ground with a big 'thunk'.
"Man this is guy must way a ton." Said a male voice as he came out from behind the corner. "Nice shot, vice-admiral!" Cheered one of the soldiers. The vice-admiral smirked as he put the dart gun in it's holster. The vice-admiral had dark wavy hair, he looked like the type of guy that spent way to much time on his hair and tanned skin. He wore a standard Marine uniform except that his sleeves were ripped off the jacket and he didn't wear a cap. The man stretched his toned biceps.
The Marine soldiers began lugging Franky and Sanji bodies down the stairs. It took nearly everyone to carry their bodies. Two people carried the blond chef down and ten people carried the blue haired cyborg. One of the soldiers stayed behind and watched the others lug the pirates around. She had long silver hair tied in a pony tail. She also wore a standard uniform except her cap had a said 'CAPTAIN' instead of 'MARINE'.
"So when is the Admiral coming back?" Asked the silver haired woman. The vice-admiral had a small frown on his face as he spoke "This morning she's coming to the ship." The woman gave the man a confused look. "But it will at least take us all afternoon to get these guys in the dungeon, so she won't see us at the ship." The man met the captains eyes with his serious eyes. "That's how she wanted it. She made me leave a report though on our progress on her desk." The man sighed and began walking down the stairs since the soldiers were probably down at the lobby a waiting new orders.
The captain smirked and ran up to the vice-admiral, "Aww does poor Sasuke miss girlfriend?" Sasuke, the vice-admiral gave another heavy sigh, "I wish she was my girlfriend!" Sasuke proclaimed. "When will she realize I'm right here!?" Sasuke cried out with big puppy dog eyes.
The captain laughed at her comrades action, "She's never around enough to realize that you even exist!" The vice-admiral crossed his arms and pouted.

"Well I just used my right arm really to control the rudder." Nami said to answer Tori's previous question. Tori raised an eyebrow as she looked from the board to Nami. "To steer in those currents it takes at least two hands, you must be very talented, not mention smart being able to figure out which currents to avoid and to ride on." Tori complemented Nami.
'Just what is her game? She insults me then compliments me?' Nami wondered, she then moved her queen five spaces in front of Tori's king. "Check" Nami muttered. Tori smirked and moved her castle so that Nami's king was in check. "Check, so how about you and future Pirate Prince?"
Nami frowned, she moved her queen to take out Tori's castle. "It's Pirate King and what do you mean by me and him?" Tori made her knight take out Nami's queen. "Your pretty sure he's gonna get married, now why is that?" Tori said as she smirked at Nami. Nami's face started turning red, "What I'm not going to marry Luffy!" The navigator stuttered.
Tori raised her eyebrow once more, "I never said you were going to marry him, I just asked how you knew he was going to get married. Seems like I've gotten my answer though." Nami however was in complete shock. 'She was right…She never asked… Why did I assume that she was talking about me?'
Nami tried picturing Luffy with another girl. She tried imagining him holding another woman. She tried imagining him kissing another girl. For some reason she couldn't bring herself to see it. When she thought about it, her stomach did flip flops in a sick kind of way. When she imagined herself kissing Luffy, she stopped. It wasn't that she couldn't do it, in fact she could see it clearer than she could see him with another girl. What got her to stop was 'Why?'. Why could she see Luffy with herself and not someone else?
'Do I like Luffy as more than a friend?' Nami silently questioned herself.

"Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum" Luffy had forgotten all about his 'don't think' plan and started singing. Luffy walked carefree on the road. Luffy then started on the next verse "Drink and-… Zoro!?" Luffy shouted his friends name through the street. Luffy could see his green haired friend lying on the ground. Luffy ran across the street to his friend.
"Zoro?" Luffy asked as he looked at his friends body. His cheeks had red marks all over it. "Oh no! Zoro are you hurt!?" Luffy shouted after he saw the red marks. Luffy grabbed hold of the swordsman shoulders and began shaking them. Luffy began panicking since Zoro did not wake up.
'Is he dead?' Luffy thought fearfully.
Then a loud snore erupted from marimo headed man.
The captain sweat dropped. 'He might as well be dead.' Luffy thought as he looked at his first mates sleeping body.
