The First Arrival
The next day, Nami and Robin were walking through the hallways of the Academy. They pass by many students who were smiling and chatting.
"They look...friendly" Nami spoke, looking at everyone she passes.
"Of course...not everyone here are evil" Robin said with a chuckle.
"I know that!" Nami tells her crossing her arms. "Still...if there is more like Slayer..we can't let our guard down"
"Hi Nami-swaaan" Sanji said close to her ear that made her jump.
"Riight" Robin said with a smirk seeing how Nami didn't follow what she said.
"Shut it!" Nami said with a cold tone.
"How are you ladies doing today?" Sanji asked kindly.
"Great, and you Sanji" Robin replies.
"Like I'm in heaven" Sanji answers with hearts in his eyes.
Sanji's eyes scans the hallways for the girls that captures his heart. Through his eyes, every girl glows brightly, their scent feeds his nose, their beauty just pumps his heart. He notices two girls passing him, one had pink hair and the other was wearing glasses. He zips right in front of them, with one knee on the ground.
"My...can I just say.." Sanji said, bowing his head. "You girls look lovely-"
The pink girl looked annoyed and snapped her fingers before he can finish his sentence. A ghost appears next to her and goes right through Sanji causing him to shiver, falling on both knees.
"awhh..I feel so pathetic" Sanji said in a depressing tone with his head against the floor. "I should eat dirt"
"What a weirdo" the girl in the glasses said to her friend.
"Just ignore him" she replies walking past him.
"What just happened to him?" Nami asked confused why Sanji is acting depressed.
"That would be Perona.." Robin answers. "A enhanced human with the ability to summon ghost that can drains someone's self esteem with a touch from her ghost"
"How do you know that much?" Nami asked surprised with her answer.
"My research" Robin said with a smirk, pulling out a small notebook from her bag. "Her friend is named Tashigi..you would be surprised...she isn't enhanced"
"Really!?" Nami said shocked. "So she is like us"
"Almost..from what I found out..she is an excellent swordsman and this would be her 2nd year coming to this academy along with Perona"
"Wow, so she survived this long.." Nami said, rubbing her chin.
"Ahh...a warrior" Sanji said breaking out of his depression and back to his lovey dovey state. "..wait a swordsman...which reminds me...where is that mosshead?"
"You worried about him?" Robin asked with a smirk.
"Tch..no.." Sanji said looking away. "He has bad sense of direction...who knows where he could be in this academy-"
In the distance, a group of female screams are heard activating Sanji's woman in danger senses.
"Found him!.." Sanji said beginning to run to the direction of the screams. "I'm coming to the rescue my sweethearts!"
"Well, that happened" Nami said returning to their walk. "So, has your research found anyone with ice powers"
"No, I don't have everyone in the school" Robin tells her.
"Oh I see.." Nami said with a frown and gets blinded by the sunlight from her left.
She turns to the window and sees the outside lunch area.
"Its nice outside today" Robin points out.
"Yup.." Nami said with a sigh.
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind goes through the window causing Robin and Nami to shiver.
"Is it getting cold already" Nami states rubbing her arms and notice the tree covered in snow. "Snow..in summer...or maybe"
Nami begins running, feeling something good will happen if she goes outside. Robin notices the snow to and smiles. She follows her friend.
OOO
Outside, piece of the ground is covered with snow along with the trees and bushes.
"h-hey!..watch it!" Said a high tone male voice.
"You should watch wear your eyes wander then" said an angry female.
Nami and Robin steps onto the snow covered grass and feels a cold breeze. They spot two students. One looking like a clown with the big red nose and the other is a girl with green hair giving a glare to the clown.
"Uh what's going on here?" Nami asked confused at the situation.
"This clown here is a pervert" the green haired girl answered.
"I'm not!" the clown shouts in anger.
Suddenly, giant snowballs is thrown right at the clown that is the size of him. The clown panics and separates his head, arms, legs only having his torso get hit. He grunts forgetting that he can still feel the pain even when he separates. His body parts return to his torso that is buried in the snow.
"You should remember this if you try this again..clown" the green haired girl said flipping her hair causing her chest to bounce gently.
"Did that clown just-" Nami said freaked out.
"Yes..yes he did.." Robin said assuring her with a nod.
"Great job Monet" said another girl with pink hair.
"Way to show him" said another girl with her arms crossed.
"well..it was fun" Monet said with a smile, going behind the two girls. "Rebecca, Viola...there are always guys trying to..sneak a peep...you just need to show them..how much do they want to risk it"
Robin walks toward the group of girls with Nami following behind. The three girls turn their attention to them.
"Amazing...so you can control snow?" Robin asked Monet.
"Yes..and you are?" Monet replies curious, not seeing them before.
"Robin and this is my friend Nami" Robin said kindly.
"H-hi there" Nami said waving, a little nervous.
"I'm Monet and these two are Viola and Rebecca" Monet said back.
"Pleasure to meet you two...are you first years?" Viola asked never seeing them around the academy before.
"Ya we are" Robin replies.
"Just like me.." Rebecca said in a cheery tone.
"Me and Monet are 3rd years" Viola states.
"So what happened between you and that clown guy" Nami asked Monet wondering what made her pissed.
"Oh that guy.." Monet sais sighing. "Just a low life whose eyes wondered where it shouldn't have went...you girls must be careful there is more of them"
"Really, well we already know one of them.." Nami said thinking about Sanji. "But he as self control.."
"I don't believe it…" Viola states crossing her arms. "Men are full of lies..only want us for our bodies"
"Not all...i know one guy who hardly reacts-" Nami said mumbling the last part which reminds her. "Oh, Monet...Can I ask you something?"
"Sure" Monet replies.
"..have you seen a guy with skinny arms and legs around?" Nami asked.
"..thats almost most of the students here..you need to be more specific" Monet exclaims.
"Hmm..ok, he has a strawhat-" Nami replies.
"A straw hat.." Monet said with a giggle. "Why would he normally wear that"
"Its a momento..but have you seen him?" Nami asked, with a worried expression.
"Hmm..you seem worried...his he your boyfriend?" Monet asked, raising an eyebrow.
"N-no...a friend!" Nami states with a blush. "His name is Luffy...he is enrolled in this academy too but he hasn't shown up"
"Luffy.." Rebecca states feeling that she heard that name before. "Oh, there is a new transfer student named Luffy but he didn't show up on his first day"
"So he's in your class...I wondered why his name wasn't mentioned in ours" Robin states.
"You sure you haven't seen him?" Nami asked once again.
"Nope, sorry..wish I can help you" Monet states.
"Monet..may I ask you about your powers?" Robin asked. "Are you able to create ice?"
"Ice...no, just snow" Monet said shaking her head.
Nami didn't like that answer. This made it more difficult now to find Luffy.
"Do you know any body with ice powers?" Robin asked, for possible leads.
However, before Monet can reply her phone beeps. She pulls it out from her blazer pocket and views it.
"we must be going now…" Monet tells Viola and Rebecca. "we can't keep the club waiting"
"Right...the recruitment" Viola states turning to Rebecca. "You still want to join the amazons"
"Ya, sounds like fun, when you explained it to me" Rebecca answers with a smile.
"Amazons?.." Nami said tilting her head to Robin.
"one of the team's I guess" Robin said to Nami.
"yup...throughout this week...the recruitment stage starts" Viola tells them.
"I thought we would have to create our own teams" Robin said thinking back at what Sabo told them.
"You can...but your also able to join teams already made...since.." Monet said with a smirk. "There is special treatment certain teams have"
"Special..like what?" Nami asked curious.
"Going on full paid trips, free lunch, mystery gifts..and more but it depends on how well your team is in the ranking system" Viola answers her.
"Sabo didn't mention that" Nami said to Robin.
"Oh..your friends with Sabo" Monet said in a surprised tone.
"Ya, he showed us around.." Nami tells her.
"...I see" Monet said then smiling. "Why not you girls join the Amazons...there isn't any boooys"
"Oh..uh.." Nami said nervously. "We'll think about…"
"Alright.." Monet said turning away from them and begins to walk. "See you later...Nami, Robin"
Rebecca and Viola follows Monet and leaves Robin and Nami.
"She's interesting" Robin states.
"Ya…and a little scary" Nami said, seeing the snow around them slowly melt. "She used her power in public!"
"This isn't a normal school...there will be plenty more devil users with weird powers like that clown guy that aren't afraid to show it" Robin states shivering from the thought of the clown separating his head from his body.
"Ya..that was gross-" Nami said until hearing a rustling sound behind her.
There was a bush covered with snow that slowly melts. A drop slides down the leaves and hits the small puddle formed in front of it. Nami had an uneasy feeling that someone was watching them causing her to rub her arms for comfort.
"We should be going" Robin tells Nami.
"Ya" Nami simply responds with a nod.
OOO
"Stupid moss head.." Sanji said with a growl, sitting on a chair with a pissed off expression.
Zoro just glares ahead, sitting next to Sanji.
"You just had to enter the girls locker room" Sanji said with a sigh.
"It wasn't my fault...they came in and started to strip" Zoro states.
"So why were you even in the GIRLS locker room in the first place!" Sanji shouts, slapping behind his head.
"Hey!.." Zoro said, getting up in his face with a glare. "What was that for!?"
"Your stupidity.." Sanji answers. "..i still don't understand why I'm with you at the principal's office"
"Maybe because your googly eyes scared the girls away" Zoro states remembering how Sanji turned lovey dovy mode right when he entered the girls change room..
"No, I was rescuing the girls from a mindless, short brained guy with bad sense of direction!" Sanji said in an angry tone.
"Oi, who you calling short brained guy!-" Zoro said gritting his teeth.
"Can you guys….SHUT UP!" yelled a woman who slammed the door opened.
The two guys shaked in fear, hearing her yell.
"God...bunch of noisy kids" she said looking annoyed.
"Bonny…" said another voice within the office.
"Yes...sir" Bonny said in a sassy tone.
"Can you bring the boys in.."
"The principle wants you.." Bonny said giving them a pissed off look.
Sanji and Zoro rise from their seats and takes a step inside the office.
OOO
Usopp and Vivi were walking together on the first floor of the Academy. Usopp had a map of the school in his hands.
"The room should be around here" Usopp said moving his eyes away from the map.
"You sure.." Vivi asked looking around them noticing the hallway getting darker and not seeing any other student around them.
"Don't worry...I'm not like Zoro..believe me" Usopp said putting his fist against his chest. "I'm the master of locating rooms"
"ha..ha..I see" Vivi said with a nervous laugh.
The two soon heard a spark causing them to freeze in the spot. Usopp notice a metal door with bolts outlining it. It wasn't like the other doors they past. Most of them were made out of wood of some kind. It took awhile for Usopp to realize how creepy it is. His legs started to tremble.
"U-usopp" Vivi said touching his shoulder gently.
"w-what..I'm not Scared!" Usopp screams jumping from the touch.
"Look...it's the mechanic room" Vivi said pointing at the sign next to the door.
"Oh it is.." Usopp said softly, with a gulp. "W-well then...s-shall w-we g-go in?"
Usopp placed his hand on the metal knob and can feel a chill go down his spine. Vivi can tell Usopp is extremely nervous. His whole body kept on shaking but he kept on moving forward. It made Vivi calm actually, probably because she needed to be strong for Usopp as well as herself.
"Let's go in…" Vivi said pushing Usopp in.
"H-hey!..hold on!" Usopp yells, opening the door.
OOO
"HAAAA!...a creepy cosplayer!" screamed a girl in the playgrounds.
Many students turned their attention to a guy wearing a swan costume, laying flat on the ground. They surround him, not sure what to do. Some went to get a teacher and others just stood there weirded out.
"Alright alright…" Ace spoke coming out, walking toward the group. "Who screamed?"
The group made an opening leading to the yellow haired girl, sitting a few minutes away from the cosplayer. Ace recognized her. He gets on one knee, next to her.
"Valentine, am I right?" Ace said with a grin.
"Y-ya.." she responds, with a slight blush seeing Ace up close.
"It's alright...I'm here now" Ace tells her warmly, taking her hand and slowly brings her up.
"T-thank you.." Valentine stutters unable to control her blush that gets redder by the minute.
Reiju enters the play grounds along with Pudding next to her. A bunch of students told her about a creepy cosplayer entering the academy. She didn't believe it but it's her duty to take care of the school and the students in it.
"Reiju…" Pudding whisper to her. "Look.."
Rejiu attention moves toward the person leaning against the right tower with sunglasses and a pink armed band. She knew him as Vergo part of a fellow council members team. Another person is with him named Law. She finds it odd seeing them here. Usually they don't get to much sun. Reiju smirks slightly and begins to walk to Ace.
"AAhh...t-the body!" said a student, shaking his finger to the cosplayers body that is shaking.
Valentine stays behind Ace, feeling her skin crawl. Ace had a serious expression until he notice something coming from under the cosplayer. A straw hat.
"Luffy!-" Ace said shocked but soon gets a fist straight in his face.
Valentine screams, from the sudden attack and moves away from Ace who gets smashed into the wall of the building. Ace coughs and looks at Luffy weakly noticing him breathing heavily and in bad shape. His eyes looked dazed, his hair was a mess and there was purple spots around his neck and chest. Ace touches his face and notice blood but it wasn't his own. Luffy's knuckles had blood on them.
"Luffy..what's the matter with you!?" Ace shouts, not liking to see his brother in this kind of state.
Luffy opens his mouth but feels something stuck within it. Its harder for him to breath. He keeps breathing heavily, exhaling purple smoke. His head aches and his vision is blurred yet can see the images in his head.
Reiju sniffs the air and smells something, delicious.
"I-i.." Luffy said trying his best to speak but he couldn't.
Ace runs to Luffy but is met with another long punch which he dodges. Ace gets closer to Luffy and takes his other arm and pins it against his back.
"Snap out of-" Ace tells him until smelling something reek coming from Luffy. "This is-"
Ace sees Luffy stretch his free arm behind him and grips his shoulder. Luffy pulls him up and slams him in front of himself. The students around awed seeing Ace fall. Luffy kept his grip and kept pushing down on Ace's chest who gripped his arm tight trying to move it away.
"L-luffy!..gugh!" Ace said getting hard to breath himself.
He didn't want to hurt his brother but it seemed like it didn't matter to Luffy. Ace didn't understand what is making him go wild. He needs to do something before things get serious.
"Alert...there is an intruder...I need everyone's help to contain him" Reiju speaks into her cellphone, walking to Luffy.
Ace looks up at her, gritting his teeth.
"Reijiu...l-let me handle this!" Ace said in a serious tone.
"You dont look like you can" Reiju states, feeling her taste buds go wild.
"Just give me.." Ace said tightening his grip on Luffys hand.
A burst of fire envelopes Luffy's arm who falls forward. The fire comes together, behind Luffy turning back to Ace who punches Luffy into the ground.
"A sec.." Ace finished breathing heavily, on top of Luffy.
OOO
Nami and Robin are walking down the hall and sees Sabo running past them in a rush.
"Woah, Sabo where's the fire?" Nami asked looking turning to him.
"...playgrounds.." Sabo said turning to her while running backwards. "Can't talk now!"
Sabo turns and runs faster. Nami and Robin looks at each other for awhile then decides to follow Sabo.
In a separate building, within the Academy's grounds, a man sits in an old style chair drinking some tea.
"Senpai..Mihawk, aren't you going to answer your call?" said a student wearing a violet colour armband.
Mihawk looks at the student who shivers from his stare then shifting to his cellphone that rest on a oval shaped table right next to him. It had a message on it.
Missed Call
"Its fine..I think the president can handle it" Mihawk states.
"R-right.."
On the roof of the school, two 3rd years are seen looking at the view of the ocean.
"Ohoh...this is quite the view..never has changed over the years.." said a tall student. "..hey, Akainu"
"..." No response came from him just a serious expression.
His eyes looks down at the playgrounds, noticing the fire acting up.
On the top floor of the academy, a female student is seen looking through the window with the view of the playground. She had her cellphone in her hand.
"Intruder...uh" she spoke.
"Miss, Hina.." Marguerite calls her, wearing a grey armband. "Aren't you coming to greet the members"
"...I'm on my way" Hina said to her, moving away from the window.
Near the ocean, a cavern is seen. Within it, a well built fishman is seen sitting on his chair. He crushes his phone and throws it on the ground.
"..your not the boss of me…" he said with a growl.
Another person sits on eight legs, drinking a big bottle of sake. He stops drinking and looks at the cellphone.
"Hic..not another phone" he said, hiccuping.
He had a silver armband.
On the last floor of the building, in the last room on the right building, there is another 3rd year sitting alone. He had the window open, allowing the ocean breeze to come in. He sits in front of the window with a big grin on his face.
"Seems like...a fish survived" he spoke, with a chuckle.
He had his phone in his right hand with the screen on.
"Only one is here" said a message from Law.
OOO
Nami and Robin came out from the Academy and made it onto the playground. However, they were surprised to see something they never expected to find.
Luffy laid on the ground with his hair shadowing his eyes and chest rising and falling slowly. A pair of lips were on his belonging to…
