Interlude
Ace, Luffy and Scatty looked at Garp as if he grew an another head. The delight that they won't have to experience his fists of love was gone as fast as it came. Sixteen year old Ace and fourteen year old Luffy stood up and with all the bravery stood before Scatty and the old marine. "Absolutely not." They chorused. Within the next second, they felt his fist connect with their heads.
"I was not giving you a choice! Scathach! You are coming with me!"
"And If I will not?"
Garps knuckles cracked. Yeah, he would. "Damn bully."
"I am a marine, not a bully!"
"All marines are bullies!"
"I was not asking for your opinion! You are coming with me! I will raise you myself!"
"And become a wife of some idiot bully?"
"Yes! Wait! Marines aren't bullies! Listen, I want you to come with me, you as a girl need a different place to... grow."
"Kinda late for that, don't you think?"
Garp glared at her. Just days ago, Scatty turned fifteen, yet she was already quite... developed. Not that much but she had some very nice curves for her age. Ace and Luffy found it absolutely hilarious how males in sight were tripping over nothing. The only thing that was even funnier was when the idiots were trying to hit on her, which was followed be Scatty's 'nice' response.
"Besides, I can't honestly expect a kid that grew up with bandits, giant wild animals and two insane brothers settle at a house wife!"
"... then I will train you into a marine!"
"Hell no!"
"You need to be educated as a woman!"
"I have Dadan!"
"You need to be educated as a lady!"
"Are you stating that I am not a lady?! Garp!"
"Shut up Dadan!" The orange haired woman quickly pulled back, pretended not to exist in her small corner.
"Listen Garp, I am not going anywhere, and I will most certainly never become a marine." Perhaps several years ago, she would accept the offer, but not anymore. Not after seeing all crap that came from their ranks. Plus she has an idiot little brother to take care of. "I will run away if you take me."
It seems that Garp took it as a challenge. And if one learned something over the years of him coming over and trying to force some sense into their heads, is that one does not challenge the marine hero. Needless to say, half an hour later, Scathach was screaming bloody murder while Garp had on his shoulder, looking rather grumpy.
"I am not getting out of this, am I?"
"No."
"I hate you."
"Scatty! Damn you old man, let her go!"
Fine. Two can play this game. You want her to come? She will make her stay most pleasant for him. And any unfortunate vict... bystanders, yes, bystanders. Ace and Luffy took their pipes and rushed to the rescue. Garp was about to turn around and hit them once more when she stopped him. "Old man wait! I will go willingly, just give me a second to speak with them!" Her brothers still ate the dust, which earned Garp a death glare.
"Promise?"
"Yes, yes. Now let me talk to them."
He let her go, but stull stood behind her like some odd, mean looking statue, waiting for her to make a run for it. "Quickly! Let's run!" Ace suggested as he picked himself. Oh she would love to, Ace saw that in her face and promptly groaned, knowing that she is right. There is no way out of this. "Damn old man!"
Luffy began to wail and attached to her. "Scatty! Scatty! When will I see you again?"
"Luffy, I will be joining your crew, do not be worried about not seeing me again." She ignored the loud 'ehm' behind her. Disapprove as much as you want old man.
"Promise?"
"Luffy! You pretty much forced me to join your crew! Don't 'promise' me now! Besides, you need someone to watch your butt, damn hammer. Ace?"
"Yeah?"
"I will send pictures."
Luffy stopped wailing, Ace looked at her, not understanding what she means. "Why would I want pictures, stupid!"
"Like I said, I will send pictures." She winked at him. "And please look after Luffy for me."
"So you are going sightseeing while you leave me here with this pain in the ass?"
"I am not!"
She winked once more, hugged both, then she turned towards Garp. He led her away.
Scatty's first impression of the place was that... she did not like it. Idiots in white, milled around, trying to look important, some with less restrains ogling her like a slab of meat. Not even half an hour after her arrival, she kicked some guy's jewels. Garp was not amused. Neither was the one in charge of this place.
"Garp! The girl is like a wild animal!"
The idiot tied to touch her at places where nobody is allowed to. He deserved it, damn drunk. First weeks passed slowly. Though in a middle of it, Garp came to her and gave her some forms with the word that she needs a full name. Not only first name, but surname too. And he told her to make something up if she truly doesn't have any.
She snorted, still angry and he left.
Just what on earth is she supposed to do here? The training of these people was pathetic at the best, none of these people, save for the ones in charge presented a challenge to her. There was a talk that she would be moved directly to the marine headquarters on Grand Line, but Garp had a bad feeling about her going to Grand Line of all places.
This is the main place to go for marines working in East Blue, quite a big place, far bigger than any common base, a small town is located nearby, mostly filled with families of people who work here. There were many places to explore, more reputation to gain. But what then? Hm...
Over the years, Scatty learned the art of meditation. This unknown person, only known Zel advised her to do so. Maybe she can meditate here? Oh, and there were the runes, which can achieve some good effects. Some quite interesting as long as done with care. This Zel sent her some odd book, and what is done with books? Books are red. And this books was about basics of 'magecraft'. No no more shiny-shiny lines, even though it sounds cool, but 'Magic Circuits'.
Shiny-shiny lines still sounds better. Simply because Luffy came up with that name.
Magic user... yes, she just might have came up with a good surname.
And she still needs to practice her runes, apart from spear wielding. Scathach looked down at the people in white. Yeah... that should do it.
Nobody really knew when this started to be... weird. At the first, nothing special. Some people got lost, things went missing, small stuff, nothing that couldn't be blamed on the men working there. But when people started seeing things, that was a bigger problem. Garp suspected Scathach, with her sweet tone, it was almost as if she were telling him that she in deed was the one causing chaos. But the teen mostly ran around with a camera in hand, taking pictures. Nothing else in hand. Once, he threw her into a pond of water to see if she could swim. Just a precaution but the girl swam back no problem. Not a devil fruit user. Scathach gave him an evil eye but nothing really happened, at least to him.
By the end of the week it was clear that this place was either haunted or someone was dead set on making their lives hell.
Heck, even a letter came from the headquarters came, asking what the hell is going on!
If only Scathach could at least give him the damn forms with her full name, instead she kept 'loosing' it. In all that chaos it was believable. People being electrocuted one week, next week they spotted frostbite and the other one, the kitchens were set on fire. On the fourth, someone kept shouting some off mishmash and things started flying. Just a precaution, he threw Scathach into water a few more times, every time she swam back. Speaking of her, even though he still wanted to marry her off to someone, all those times he tried to introduce her to a suitable man failed rather spectacularly as the 'Witch', that is how people started calling the culprit, stroke again. If she was not a target herself from time to time, he would think that the 'Witch' is her.
From god knows where, she got this red spear. Worst of all, she seemed damn good at using it, often knocking out even those twice her size. What however pleased and very much surprised him was that one day he caught her... making clothes. He was so happy that he was even willing to overlook the odd symbols on the cloth and got himself drunk that evening. Before he knew, year had passed and he got a letter that Ace escaped, what infuriated him even more was that the said brat snuck into ths base and had a drink with the female charge of his, and that nobody caught him. With the Witch still on the loose, it did not help his headaches.
Then an another year passed, as Scathach's seventeenth birthday approached, the Witch became silent. No, that did not calm anyone down, instead Garp could see his men standing at their posts like statues, eyes wide with fear and looking around as if expecting the Witch to jump from behind the nearest corner. But nothing had happened. Nothing at all. When a month passed with no incidents, at least ones that could be pinned on that person, the men threw a party. Even that party was incident free. And the next day? As Garp sat down, he realized that he had certain forms on his table. It took him a while to recognize them, after all it has been almost two years since he gave them to a certain person. Right. Scathach's full name.
He had been wondering about the girl many times, even had people look into some official files, once she mentioned that she was born into a rich family, Garp thought that it would not be hard to find her origins back then, but in the end, nobody apart from her knew where she came from. In other words, it was as if the girl appeared out of thin air. She could have been lying, but seeing how bitter she was when she admitted that, it was unlikely a lie. She did not like whatever family she was born into, considering her attitude towards nobles, she was also likely born into such a family. For the sake of his sanity, he hoped that one day, that family will not drop by one day and demand her back. Not only she would likely gut them, bringing him even more headaches, but it was him who would have to deal with the aftermath.
Papers rustled as he picked them up, his graying head still hurt. He barely registered the words as his eyes skimmed over the forms, though for some odd reason, they stopped on a certain part, one where her full name was written.
Witch D Scathach.
It sounded rather good, though Garp's heavy head was trying to tell him something. Witch D Scathach. Was it the D in the name? No. Witch.
Witch.
There was a note under it.
Good bye Gramps, I hope that I will not see you for a long time.
As the building that Garp was in exploded, there was a barely audible 'click' heard where Scathach was. Ignoring the old man's angry yells and very rude phases that included her name, she grabbed the picture that came from the device, then she quickly made a second one. After a while of thinking, she did a selfie with the ruins of the place behind her and a V sign as well.
Dear Ace
Today I am leaving this horrible place already, I hope that you enjoyed the photos I sent you the last time, Garp is a tad bit angry right now and it will get worse, I kinda made this place into one cursed maze. I wonder if they will even get out, but I will not be here to see that. Need to fly! I hope that your crew is doing well, see ya on the Grand Line! Oh good luck trying to control your Logia Fruit!
Your lovely sister Witch D Scathach.
This should do it.
Dear Luffy
I hope that you are still alive and well, today I am sailing out, not even in a full year, you will sail out as well, I am looking forward to that, I bet that you will already gather some crew mates by the time I will catch up with you. Remember: Stay away from water, don't get eaten by crocodiles, or other horrible things and remember not to provoke the old hag Dadan too much.
I don't really know when it will be the next time I will find the time to write to you so also remember that I will join you in Loguetown at the latest, do not enter Grand Line without me!
Your sweet sister Witch D Scathach.
Scathach put the letters and pictures into two envelopes, made sure that nothing will fall out and when Mint appeared next to her, she gave then to him. "To Ace and Luffy, don't forget to say hi as well."
"You are crazy!"
"You too, now off you go!"
The green buny thing turned around and disappeared. Having already prepared beforehand, it was easy to hide among the crates of some ship that set sailing mere minutes after the chaos began. It was the last ship that would leave that day, Garp would likely not allow any other leave that day. Today Scathach turned seventeen and she set sail. Even though she could not see the wast blue of the rolling waves, she could hear them and sense as they carried the massive ship away. She cannot wait to meet Ace and his crew, just as well as she cannot wait to see Luffy after those long years.
Time to show the world their craziness.
This, I admit, was meant to be much longer. But if I tried to put all of those things together, It was just one large chaos and mess, that is why I have decided that I will put those stories into Omakes.
I have passed my test (yay!), I will be going on a holiday later this week with my family, so I will not have access to a PC for a week or so... dunno what else to say.
Here is the Omake :D
Nami tried to look as helpless as possible in the tiny old boat she lied in. Half an hour earlier, she spotted her next target, while the target did not have a bounty yet, it was a known face. Witch D Scathach, the Bringer of Chaos, sometimes called the Witched Scathach. About two months ago, she somehow managed to make a total mess out of the biggest marine base in East Blue, the case was said to be so bad that the base has to be relocated. Nobody knew how she did it but they say that it was her doing. Nami had her doubts, since the people in bar said several times that she uses magic. There is no such a thing as magic, likely some Devil Fruit, even though they denied that.
"You know..."
Scathach was standing above her, leaning slightly against a marvelous looking red spear that was sure to sell for a lot. Money~~
"... you look pretty healthy to me."
The vision of money was gone faster than a hammer can sing below the surface of sea and Nami fully opened her eyes, which was a mistake. The first thing that grabbed her eyes was the color of Scathach's eyes: Blood red, much like the spear next to her. Next was her attire, Nami was sure that most people would feel very hot in something like that!
"Orange hair, faker, quite young, you are that Bulgar Cat that that pirates sometimes talk about. Geez, I must say that you did quite a number on those guys I met a week ago."
With a tad bit more of self control, she could have kept the act going and perhaps persuade the woman above her to do her biding, but no. Nami's eyes had to open fully. The teen sat up and looked at Scathach with faked embarrassment, if possible, she needs to disappear. Pronto. "I am Scatty, what is yours?"
"Erm, Nami! I am Nami."
"Nice to meet you Nami, judging by how I find you, you wanted to rob me blind as well, didn't you?"
She is so screwed, she is so damn screwed. The rumors said that Scathach is also very good with spears. Nami needs a plan. Yes, the sea could work, Scathach is a devil fruit user and if surviving meant throwing her there, she would do that. She will not let her drown, but she needs to survive. With some luck, she will grab the spear. "You want my spear, right? Alright, here you go."
Nami could only stare at the red long thing in her arms, she looked up but Scathach was already sailing away in her own boat. This was... very surprising. Alright, what is the catch? The spear was heavy, like a real tihing, it seemed sharp enough to pass for a real weapon, to check if it really was he real thing, she tried to break it but it would not budge. She really gave her the real thing. What the...? For the rest of the day, Nami glared at the red thing, and the next morning it was still there, the same thing. On the third day, she finally got over the fact that someone just handed her a weapon of an excellent quality (if the rumors were true) and found a shop in a bigger city, located on one of the numerous islands around. Many people immediately gathered to see the weapon, the people interested in the spear were in seventh heaven.
"Amazing! Amazing! I have never seen a better spear! I can't even tell what it is made from!"
"Truly a divine weapon!"
"This is worth a small fortune!"
And so Nami sold the weapon, she was very happy. It was then that it happened. The moment she got the money and the man got his weapon... the thing... exploded, coloring everything in the worst shades of pink, orange and green. As if that was not enough, every animal present froze and then immediately began running around. Whatever was in the color, it was very tasty by their standards. Chicken especially liked the thing.
Needless to say, everyone was out for Nami's blood when everything settled down, the girl itself cursed a single person over and over.
Damn Scathach!
Before you start asking. Yes, Scathach does have runes, it is the reason why she managed to pull off all that stuff, while Zelretch helped her with basics, Scathach then learned everything by her self. Scathach has got the skill Primordial Rune, which allows her to use the classic rune magic/runes of older ages. I blame the fact that she knows more than basics on this skill and her other skill Haunts of Wisdom, now months later renamed to Wisdom of the Haunted Ground, to put it simply, not only it allows her to have glimpses of future but it also gives her the ability to use 'almost any skill that a servant can have'. While I will most certainly restrain this skill not to destroy the story (Scathach is already very strong).
Literal description is: With exception of those particular of certain heroes, almost all Skills can be displayed with a proficiency level of B~A Rank. Also, only towards those she has recognized as true heroes, it is also possible to teach such Skills. During combat, a Skill that she often employs is foresight of battle conditions by means of "Clairvoyance". Even in Ulster mythology, she often predicted the future with such foresight. Even the final moments of her beloved pupil Cú Chulain.
Someone once told me that One Piece characters are weaker than Fate cast... to be honest, I was surprised that someone would claim that, I can see some people in Nasuverse being very dangerous even for One Piece standards, though the only one I can really think of at this moment is Gilgamesh and that is only because of Ea, the Sword of Rapture. While Nasuverse chars are strong in their own way, I don't think I have ever seen anyone from that verse cut a giant frozen tsunami wave in half. Just an example.
Haki is that ridiculously overpowered. While in Paradise (first half of Grand Line), Scatty's skills will be very restricted not to crush everyone, I will give her more and more before making her learn Haki. That is at least the plan. I have loads of choices how can I 'build' her due to her Wisdom of the Haunted Ground skill.
I almost forgot, just like in GO, Scatty can make copies of her spear. Poor Nami. I have yet to figure out mechanics of that though as I have yet to figure out what exactly this line- '"Gae Bolg" simply refers to spears made from sea monster bones, and the Noble Phantasms belonging to her and Cu are techniques utilizing it' means, aka what it means for Scathach. I doubt that the spears that she creates out of thin air have the same durability and quality as the one she uses as her main weapon. And Cu Chulain too. That is what exactly the sentence is hinting.
Unlimited Gae Bolg Works!
