The waves crashed against the three marine ships anchored at the docks, causing them to rock roughly. Sailor and marines ran around the docks and across the ships, trying to get everything ready.
"Captain!" A young marine called over the wind and the rain, "Are we really going to leave in this weather?"
Captain Monkey D Luffy nodded his head firmly, he had orders to capture a pirate that was working these waters and a informant had told them that the pirate's ship was sighted on a near by island.
His dark eyes narrowed at the skies that were covered in heavy storm clouds. He walked and leaned over the railings of the upper deck and glanced down at the men who were waiting for their orders.
"Raised the anchor!" Luffy screamed out to the men below deck, "Release the paddles!" Men replied back with a strong salute and hurried to continue their work.
Luffy turned and headed for the door wanting to get into and out of the rain...and maybe a bite to eat before they got there.
"He only seventeen?" A marine sneered as he tried a rope down, "Can't believe they let captains this young ran a full ship!" He glared towards his captain who had stopped and stared at him from the corner of his eye.
"Be silent." The other's mate who pulled at the rope said, "Just follow the order, hurry up I want to get out of this rain."
"Yeah." The first sneered some more, "Our captain can already leave now that he said a few words." He bent over slightly and kept looking at the young captain, "The only reason he got where he is was because of who his grandfather is!"
"Just shut up." The other said loudly, "If he hears you-" The other marine suddenly saw his friend was not looking at him and spun around to see their captain standing behind them.
"Then what?" The first said as he straighten up and glared fully at the younger man that was their captain, "He have us leave the ship- AH!"
Luffy had grabbed the man by the collar lifted he easily off floor, the marine's eyes widen in surprise as his feet tried to touch the ground.
"Yeah," Luffy growled out staring blankly at the older man, "I'll have you leave." With that said, Luffy jumped onto railing with the man wiggling in his grasp, "Go back to the base!" Luffy held the man behind with and threw him flying into the air with a force that carried the grown man all the way back to the docks. "And think about what you've done!" He shouted after the man.
Luffy held one hand up, shielding his eyes from the rain and watched as the man broke the surface of the water. People on land began throwing ropes down to him, trying to get him out of the choppy water.
"We need a extra hand for these ropes!" Luffy shouted out as he pointed to the other marine who was holding on the the ropes barely. Someone rushed over and help the man.
Seeing that he was getting aid, Luffy hopped off the railing getting perfect balance and strolled into the captain's room.
