[Hermes]
"Oyo y Gramps, don't be too reckless! It's going to explode!" Papugg exclaimed with tears on his eyes. Everyone else started to say something but I just watched the epicness of the Legendary Dark King!
"Stay still…" he instructed Camie and touched the collar. It started ticking and everyone panicked. Before it could explode, he took it off from Camie and threw it at my side making it explode. Was he trying to scare me? Too bad, HE'S SO AWESOME THAT I CAN'T EVEN MOVE!
"Wahahahaha! You didn't even try to flinch! What a strong willed person you are!" Eh? Is he talking about me? God he's talking about me! Wahhhhh! This is awesome!
"Ah eh eto ano… I-I am happy with your praising…" I mumbled and looked away with a pink tint on my cheek. Actually, I feel honored! But I should act cool and calm so that I won't destroy his first impression on me
"Hey HEY! What was that?! The collars and cuffs are already gone?! Look! I found the keys and everything!"Franky came out from the inside of the stage and showed the keys to Rayleigh. He only gave him a friendly smile
"Oh… Good work but it's already fine… You, take this girl!" instead of saying that to Franky, he said it to me even though I was injured and wobbly. Though because it was his request (even though it wasn't)
"Camie~san, can you get into my back?" she nodded and slowly went out of the water and into my back.
"Ummm… You… you're still injured…" I just smiled at her and held her tail in my back. It was actually slippery but I don't really mind it
"Rayleigh asked me a favor so I should as well do it… And besides, the pain is already wearing off… But I'll surely need a type O blood pack…" she nodded and tightened her hold on my shoulders
"Ummm…" I tried to look at her a little and saw her bright thankful smile
"… t-thank you about earlier… You stood up for me in the bidding…"
This… was actually my first time being thanked truly… So in exchange, I gave her of my most rediculou but real smile
"Don't worry about it! And besides… I totally hate people buying people for their own intentions. You can't buy freedom! That's seriously out of my taste!" she paused but then smiled
"Thank you…" she said for the last time and now I started to leave the stage and left the main story go on with Rayleigh talking to Luffy and saying something about Law and Kid…
'Now that you mentioned it…'
I looked at where Kid was and saw him looking at me back. I evaded my eye contact cause he might think I am weird and some freaky stalker.
"ATTENTION CRIMINALS!"
Oh, they have started… I should join the fight or else the quest won't be complete…
"SOON, AN ADMIRAL WILL ARRIVE! SURRENDER NOW! OTHERWISE, WHO KNOWS WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU ROOKIES!"
"Sanji~san…" the cook looked at me in confusion from recognizing him quickly
"… please take Camie~san. I'll go out now…" then he got into my back and took Camie with hearts on his eyes. Before I could go out, he placed his hand in my shoulder
"How did you—"
"I told you…" I cut him off and smiled
"I am the messenger of the Gods..." then I started to walk slowly towards the entrance. Somehow, Kid was walking behind me making me all flustered inside.
"You… who are you..?" I just continued walking before I could speak and stutter. He got annoyed at being ignored so he gave a taunt to the two captains making them scramble their way together with me.
AAAWKWAAARD!
That's the only thing I could say… Since they are arguing about the fight while I am here dealing with my heart before it could fail or burst.
"THEY'RE COMING OUT! GET READY!" one of the marines shouted to alert the others
"Those are the three captains! And… who's that..?" I ignored them since I'm not yet even known. They started saying about about their bounties
"You guys can just go back…" –Luffy
"I thought I told you guys to stay back…"-Kid
"If you try to order me around again, I'll start with you, Eustass~ya" –Law
'I want to say something but I better shut up and get some Exp…'-Me
Before they could start an attack, I launched towards the Marines and pulled out my gun. A cannonball was aimed to me but then I pulled my trigger making it explode from my bullet shot
'SKILL LEVEL UP: ACURACY Lvl. 6'
Meh, I should check it out later…
"Shoot him! He's with the Rookies!" then they started shooting me with bullets. With pure luck and ease, I dodged them all by swaying around. I was practically dancing but I was too happy to notice. I hit every Marine that I encounter in the neck with my gun and continued to dodge. The three started to show off their powers too. I really envy them, but I can't show off my powers to them since I barely knew how to use my Devil Fruit.
'DODGE INCREASED 20%'
'… is my dodge rate already that high? Maybe my level is also high that's why I don't level up…'
"Be careful! Cannons wont work on them…" well duh, the are obviously strong that why they don't get hit by cannons…
"Focus the cannons to this guy! He looks like he doesn't have one!" Eeekkk! The harsh reality of defeating the weak first has already struck their mind
"EEEEEKKK! UNFAIR!" they all released the cannon and it was head towards me. I don't have that much time to dodge though… so should I just try to take them all head on?
"Repel!" then the cannonballs stopped in mid air that made me blink.
"Eus…tass…" I looked at him who was smirking at me. Don'tblushdontblushdontblush
"What are you doing, looking all stupid?" I stared at him with round eyes. What is he referring to?
"What are you waiting for? Come here!" I silently made my way to him at looked up. Waaah, what a huge height difference. I feel short now…
"Y-yeah?" he looked at me in a moment like he was examining me. I looked at the floor with great interest because the silence sounded too awkward.
"Hmmmm… I guess I could need someone like you… now get in my back…" he ordered so I had no choice but comply with no resistance. I felt my gun rattle on my and that made me grip on it stronger.
'He's using his Devil Fruit ability…'
All sword and metallic weapons gathered to him and formed a big ass arm then used it to attack. I looked at the whole scene and now the Marines are completely wiped out.
'QUEST COMPLETE!'
'TITLE ACHIEVED: NEWBIE PIRATE'
'ACQUIRED: 350,000 BERI'
'ITEM RECEIVED: MOONLIGHT SYMPHONY DAGGER'
'ACQUIRED: 50,000,000 BOUNTY'
'ACQUIRED: 100,000 EXP'
'CONGRATULATIONS! YOU ARE NOW LEVEL 23!'
Pop-up windows came all at once. I was still not used to it so I jumped and fell on the ground. The three didn't seem to notice so I took it as a chance to check out my Game Abilities.
'Hmmm… I should check my character… What was that called again? Oh yeah!'
"Status window…" then another window popped up in front of me.
Wow, look at my stats… they are obviously CRAPPY and I don't really know if it was really me making this or its my leveling stats.
'Oh, I still have some status points…'
At the bottom of the window, Remaining Points was seen. I still have 69… which means that every time I level, I get 3 points.
'…should I put it in the int? or str? Nahhhh… I should go for agi…'
"Argh… this is quite complicated…" then Kid suddenly carried me on his shoulder like a sack of rice
"Wut? Put me down!" I struggled against his grip but he was obviously stronger than me
"Shut up and be a good doggy. You're coming with me and join my crew." I stopped and looked at him with confusion.
'He's letting me join him? IS THIS REAL?!'
I just laid there in silence and let him carry me where he wants to. He started running with Killer and the other Kid pirates.
'Maybe I should check on my skills while I'm doing nothing…'
"Skill tab…" then a window with small imaged boxes which should be my 'skills'
'How did I get this many skills? Maybe from my experiences? Some skills are passive… Let's see what active skill I have in here…'
I got into the 'Passive Skills' section and saw about 6 skills.
'Body Impact Lvl. 2'
'Personality Swap Lvl. 3'
'OverRAGE Lvl. 10'
'Soul Symphony Lvl. 5'
'Maintenance Lvl. 3'
'Sound Repel Lvl. 3'
Hmmm… Maybe I should read their description later. For now, I should—
*PEW*
Kid suddenly jumped back making me shift into an uncomfortable position
"What is it?" I looked at my back to see Kuma standing at the top of the gigantic root
"Why… why is a Shichibukai in here?!" Kid exclaimed that made me sigh
"So… it finally came…" he looked at me in confusion
"Kid… That's a new weapon made by the government. It's called 'Pacifista'…" he suddenly placed me down on the floor
"You got a lot of explaining to do. But right now, you should prove your worth of joining my crew…"
Oh boy… he's at his sadistic side again…
/TO BE CONTINUED/
YARRR! Imma steal references at manga's again. But at least I get to change some scenes right? Anyway, Hermes is already getting used as his ability and is now discovering skills! Yerp, weird names for skills right? Too bad, I'm BAD at naming wahahahaha! Rayleigh! Why do you wan't to test Hermes so much? Why you so testy? Lol
Anyway, I might not be able to update the next chapter this week since my school is already getting busier and busier. But let's all hope that I will get even a little time to make and publish a chapter
Oh yeah, please don't mind the errors. I'll probably edit this fic in the future
Bye guys! See you in the next update!
