Chapter 6

The Arrival of the Famiglia de Male

"WHERE THE HELL IS MY SON?!" yelled an extremely pissed off female admiral. Luffy looked to her and laughed.

"Well like I told you, I found him but he escaped with a friend of his." That answer seemed to infuriate the female admiral more. Her body seemed to radiate heat. "Amane, you have to stop! This is not healthy for you" cried Luffy with absolute fear in his eyes. He had gotten back from Emerald Bay a week ago, and after he told the story of Colonello's actions of endangering public safety as well as the two vigilantes who stopped him and escaped, he thought he could take it easy.

Nope. Not in a million years. Not when one of the vigilante's mother interrogated him about her son. Her son, who in spite of his good deed was still wanted by the Navy.

"… You gave it to him, didn't you?" she asked her voice now solemn without a hint of malicious or anger. Luffy looked at her and nodded; he couldn't lie to a woman about her child. Amane looked at him with tears in her eyes, but quickly turned around and said "Please, take care of him…" After stating that, she walked away without saying another word.

Luffy took off his straw hat and let out a big goofy smile. "But of course!" He didn't want to hurt someone who he considered a nakama, especially one who helped him with his plan behind her superior's back. She was the closet thing to a friend he had since he joined the navy. The least he could do is watch over the boy as he lived his adventure.

A few minutes later though, a clear face Amane walked back in and asked "I forgot to ask you, where is the key, Luffy? I need to return it to the judge." Luffy's face went blank, even after all these years he couldn't hide his emotions.

"You lost it… didn't you?" asked Amane with the room suddenly getting colder. The straw hat admiral shook his head furiously but knew it was of no avail.

"GOOD BYE, LU…FFY…KUN!"

In the distance, a man's voice could be heard begging for forgiveness and then there was complete and utter silence. No one dared to ask where Admiral Monkey D. Luffy was for the rest of the week.

A red ship with black armor was quietly sailing across the sea… well at least I got the sailing part right.

"YES WE ARE!!"

"NO, WE ARE NOT!!"

"YES WE ARE!!"

"NO WE ARE NOT!!"

On the front deck of said red ship, two familiar figures were arguing with each other. They were in a deadlock stare down, neither one would blink. The tension between the two was steadily rising as the red head spoke. "YES, WE ARE PIRATES! I EVEN MADE THIS COOL JOLLY ROGER TO PUT UP!"

The indigo haired boy flinched as he looked upon the black flag in front of him. Normal pirate flags have skull and crossbones; and although this one did it was a little different. The skull was there but it was small and had four attachments coming from its sides. The attachments looked a lot like branches, but the most distinguishing figure about the flag was the human figure standing a top of the skull with one foot, while the other rested on the flag's surface. The figure looked like a familiar red- headed boy wearing what looked to be a robe.

Hotaru looked on, his right eyebrow twitching violently. "One we aren't pirates, and two WE ARE NOT PUTTING UP THAT FLAG!!"

"WHY NOT!?"

"YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS?!"

"BUT IT'S A WORTHY FLAG, FOR THE PIRATE CREW THAT IS GREATER THAN GOD HIMSELF!"

Leo started once again to look at the jolly roger starry eyed. Hotaru looked on and sighed; they been at sea for only a week and he already wanted the brat, died. He took out the papers Luffy gave him and looked them over once more. He kept staring at them but they made absolutely no sense to him.

"I wonder what they mean?!" asked Hotaru to no one in particular but was then answered by the annoying red head. "Well, you don't have to because we are upon Opal Island." Hotaru turned to look, and set his eyes upon an island in the distance. The island looked from a distance urban, as the only thing visible was buildings and a pier. The weird thing about the island was the huge tube that stuck out from the right side.

Leo ran to the ships steering wheel and started to go towards the island. He had spent the week learning and wanted to show off his new boating prowess. The human forest looked to the island and sighed, he didn't know what to expect but it didn't seem like things could go badly… right?

A man was standing right on the Opal Island pier, looking to the sea. He was wearing a strip black suit, with a cowboy hat covering his black messy hair. He was staring intently at a smooth milky white stone.

The pier itself was very quiet, only thing seen was abandoned ships. The pier itself was pretty big; they docking parts were made to take on any size of ships. The maroon dirt roads were partly covered in marble stone tiles that made a path to all of the docking parts.

"Dad, I'll find you soon enough," he thought as he looked at the sea. "If I sell this, I might be able to get my sisters and me a ship." The man pocketed the rock and was about to turn until he noticed a small boat docking to his right. The boat was a small wooden one, with a white sail and flag.

From the ship jumped out an elderly gentleman, who wearing a suit. He was about 5'2, with a white tuxedo and white shoes. What made it even more weird, was that for an old man probably in his sixties was that his hair (which you would think should be white) was the only non-white thing on him.

Next to him were three more individuals, one was a tall young woman (about 5'10) with long brown curly hair with silver highlights. She was wearing the same white suit but hers featured a necklace around her collar. Her blue gray eyes scanned the island intently, as she looked around the island.

The other was a tall man, with the same white suit but this one had a mask over his head.

The last man was tall (really tall like 6'11") and slinky. He was bald with cold black eyes.

The older gentlemen spoke while he looked through the island, "Are you sure, she is on the island, Faith?"

"Yes they are sir," said Faith in response. I wonder if there are devil fruit users on this island as well. Faith thought as she answers the gentlemen's question.

The masked man said nothing, but turned his head in the direction of the young man in the cowboy hat. Faith and the old man looked over, while the bald man was already staring at him intently. The cowboy hat wearing man looked at them and thought "They're looking for someone? But wait, they said she didn't they?"

The old man introduced himself, "My name is Vibes, Mr. Dire Vibes. The lady to my left is Ms. Faith Williams, and the bald gentleman is Mr. Burt Ernie."

The young man was suspicious, but said "Charles Cook, but I go by the name of Charl." Charl looked on, as Faith look down to the ground and Mr. Vibes bowed in greeting. Burt didn't take his intent stare off Charl, neither did the masked man. Mr. Vibes continued the conversation, "We are looking for the headquarters of the Ruin Society, if you would be so kind, please tell us its location."

The cowboy hat wearing man looked to the people with his grey eyes narrowed, "They are after the boss after all" he thought. He looked to see the mask man turn around and go back to the ship. "I'm sorry, I'm new to this island and I don't know my way around. I am going now."

"Oh really, then why do you have on the Ruin Society uniform on" asked the masked man to the shock of Faith and Mr. Vibes. The bald man stare took a malicious turn and he started to walk toward Charl.

"You should know you shouldn't lie to people. You may hurt their feelings" said the masked man.

"Then they may hurt you in the process" said the old man while shaking his head.

Charl was about to walk away until he saw Faith in front of him, with a wicked smile on her face. Her jacket was being held by Mr. Vibes who let out a sigh as he said "Faith, Ernie we need him alive. So please don't kill him."

The sliver haired girl made a b-line straight for Charl, her hands extended. The man in question took a defensive stance, awaiting the girl's attack. Charl grabbed one of her hands before they reached him, pull her closer and then using her momentum threw her over his shoulder. Faith flew in the sky and landed hard on her back. Charl turned to face the bald man, anticipating him attacking next.

But to his surprise, Faith had stood up. Her lips turned into a grin, she was staring at him with a look of complete happiness.

"You're pretty good, Charl. This is going to be fun!" she said in a low gruff voice that didn't at all sound human." To Charl's surprise, the sliver haired girl's hands went for bare and smooth to hairy and rough. Her nails grew as well, they looked a bit like claws. What was really shocking was the grey tail, which had sprouted out of her bottom.

The old man chuckled a bit, and looked up to see Faith once again charge at the Cowboy hat wearing man. Charl flinched, the beast girl had become a lot faster and she reached him in twice the time as she had before. Faith let loose a flurry of swipes, each fast and unreadable.

The black haired man quickly moved backwards to avoid the flurry of attacks. He backed up and dodged left, then he backed up and dodged right. Left, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right, he quickly realized that the attacks were becoming faster.

He once again caught one of Faith's arms and threw her over his shoulder. But this time, she landed on her feet, completely unfazed by it.

Faith let out a primal howl, and then she once again sent a flurry of slashes. Charl ducked under a right slash but let out a yell of pain when he was slashed in the back. He turned to see Faith with her arm in the air, and a small smirk behind him. He fell to his knees and winced as he looked to see the former beast girl looking at him.

She seemed to return to normal, the claws were gone and so was the tail. Faith looked at Charl worriedly, "You can't be down that fast, can you."

She was about to say something else, but the bald man walked past her and yelled, "YOU SHOULD HAVE KNOCKED HIM OUT BY NOW!"

He walked over to the cowboy wearing man on his knees, cracking his knuckles in delight. "All I have to do is not kill him, right, Boss?" Mr. Vibes nodded, which got a grin from Burt.

Burt looked down and with swung his fist towards Charl, who looked like he had resigned himself to fate. "Crystal, Abby, Bella, Lucy, Cira, Sana" Charl thought to himself as he closed his eyes; "I'm so sorry that I won't be coming home for awhile."

Charl waited for what seemed like hours for the bald man's fist to hit him but nothing happened. He then heard, "WHO THE HELL ARE YOU, BRAT!?"

At that he opened his eyes to see the bald man on the floor and a red haired boy standing in front of him. The bald man slowly got up, a noticeably big bruise on his left cheek.

Faith looked on in shock and the old man was fuming with anger.

The boy turned to Charl and said, "MY NAME IS LEO AND I AM YOUR SAVIOR! SUBMIT YOU WILL TO ME SO THAT YOU TOO CAN BASK IN MY GREATNESS! JUST LIKE HIM!"

At the end of is speech, a very tall wooden fence blocked off the people in white from Leo and Charl. An indigo haired boy jumped over the fence and said "I'll get you for that comment later, brat."

They helped Charl up, and began to run away while the very tall and very wide fence that blocked off the others. They then began to run away towards the town.

While running, Hotaru turned to Charl and said, "My name is Hotaru, and I'm here to find a woman in the Ruin Society that can translate this." He showed it to Charl, whose eyes widened as he stopped.

"The only person who could translate this is my boss, you must be here to see her" he said. Both boys nodded to the man as he continued to run and sighed "For helping me, I'll take you to her."

Before Leo could stay something egotistical, Hotaru asked "Thanks, who is your boss anyway?"

"My boss is the world's best archeologist and once a member of the Mugiwara Pirates, Nico Robin."

"SMACK!" was the sound heard as Faith fell to the ground. Mr. Vibes had just slapped the girl and was about to hit her again until he was stopped by the masked man.

"Enough" he said in a firm tone, which scared Faith a little. With tears in her eyes, she looked at Mr. Vibes as he said "The next time you screw up, I'll make it far worst girl. Now we must find that Nico Robin for the boss. The Famiglia De Male forbids failure understand."

The mask man looked on as Faith nodded and the old man went to go and slap around the humiliated bald man.

No major battles here, this begins the Ruin Society Arc though.

Not all bad guys have to be navy and pirates, right?
