Dusk Ball hadn't changed a bit. At least in Jerome's eyes antway. In truth the once small village island had changed into a port like town. Everyone was moving from place to place, doing that and this. Ships are moving in bringing loads of supplies. The population itself had even grown to about five times as much. The people were so busy that had not noticed the Moby Dick dropping off the 'Hell Fire'. Jerome had explained earlier during the trip that he had a grandpa. Before he long term stay in Impel Down he promised his grandson that he would build him a ship of dreams. Jerome was very excited of how his ship may have turned out.
"Okay everyone we should spilt into groups, gaining all the supplies we need for are trip." explained Kat. She then explained the rolls on who will be going with who. She divided everyone into pairs and not to soon later everyone went there own way.
The first pair being Dante and Crash. They had the job of gathering medical supplies. It sounded like a easy job but it was far from that. As the two passed as ally way a pink haired girl peeked out of the corner. She is hazel eyed and wearing a normal school girl outfit. She studied the two and a thought came to her mind. She picked up two wanted posters with a picture of both Dante and Crash on it. 'THUMP, THUMP' her heart rang. "Is it really them. All the luck in the world must have come to me"
Dante and Crash continued there walk. But stopped when they heard a feminine voice call them behind. There eyes only went wide has they didn't see one girl but fifteen more girls behind the pink haired one. "Hello my name is Lucy Yuno and I have one thing to say to both of you" said Yuno
"What is it?" asked Crash. It a second he found himself being cuddled by Yuno.
"I'm your biggest fan!" she shouted. As if on cue the rest of the girls behind them started yelling and running towards Dante and Crash. They would have never escaped there clutches if Dante had not shot most of them. He then grabbed Crash and the two began to run off with the girls following them close behind.
"Who the heck are they?!" shouted Crash. He looked into the sea green eyes of the sniper and he only had two words to say. "Fan girls"
"How did I end up paired with you"
"Because I said so"
The next pair turned out to be Darrius and Kat. Darrius seemed less excited to be paired of with her for certain reasons. He had plans of his own and she wanted to slave him away. No thank you.
He swiped his arm away from Kat's arm. "Sorry Kat but I have no time to be your slave"
"What! SLAVE! Never!" shouted Kat. She calmed herself down before she lost control. "Sorry for yelling it just that I hate the idea of slavery and I would never lower myself to doing that. If you feel like I am slaving you away my apologise"
Darrius was almost shocked from the outburst. She must have token slavery very seriously to yell like that. "Apology accepted. So Kat what do you need me to help you with anyway?"
"Since I am the crews musician-" she started.
"Wow so you know how to do tricks" said Darrius.
"Not magician, a musician" she corrected. "Now as I was saying since I am the crews musician I would need some instruments to go with my songs. And I just love trying out new things!" she cheered.
Darrius made a sly smirk for his next comment. "So if you like trying new things I guess that explains your crush for Dante"
"Who told you that!"
This had to be the oddest pair yet. Travious and Luna. The personalities were so different no one would expect these two to hang out. When Luna thought the crew as her family she thought of Travious as a cousin. He was making her crazy bored. But Travious said it was there job to get the hardware supplies for the new ship. It was all to boring for her.
"Travious I am so bored" pouted Luna
"Sorry Luna but we have to get the hardware supplies for the ship. It is my job after all" said Travious.
"Well you have a boring job"
The two stopped in there tracks when Dante and Crash ran pass them from the crowd of fan girls.
"That looks interesting" said Luna who began walking off.
"Don't even think about it" Travious grabbed her by the collar of her shirt.
"How exactly did you end up joining this crew" asked Seiran.
"I don't know. Maybe because you guys need my help in New world" said Nora
"Well if you excuse me I should go get some food. Feeding a crew of this size plus Jerome on the side won't be a easy task"
"And while you do that I should guard these crates until Jerome gets here with are new ship" she said sitting down on the crate. Her hand had seemingly made its way to one of the chest. She was a curious fifteen year old so she couldn't stop herself from opening it. When she did she found it was one of the devil fruits that Darrius had gathered.
Just looking at this fruit made her feel something. Before his death she promised her grandfather that she would become strong and powerful too. She always wanted a devil fruit despite the risk. So with no longer stalling she gobbled it up. Yes the whole thing!
"I don't feel so good" she tightened her stomach and tried to hold back the puke.
Well this was another odd pair. Tegami and Cassidy. These two unlike the rest had no job to be done. To kill the boredom Tegami offered a fight. Cassidy didn't back down and the two began a sparing match. Hopefully they can keep it that way .
They had a sword clash. Neither side was giving the other a inch in advantage. Cassidy bent her back down avoiding Tegami's slash. Before he could make the next move Cassidy kicked him in the gut sending him crashing back a few feet. Tegami regained his stance and ran towards Cassidy. With the latter doing the same.
Midway there Cassidy released a green piecing wave. "Try that"
Tegami gave a sharky smile before forwarding his own attack. Water vapor seemed to surround his seven foot sword until Tegami sliced the attack took the form a shark waiting to munch its prey.
BAM!
The attacks collided only too have both the competitors still up and glaring at each other.
"Your good" marked Tegami
"You are two" marked Cassidy
"But not good enough!" they both shouted clashing swords once again.
"Zeshishishi" laughed Jerome.
"What is so funny captain" asked Lee
"Oh nothing. Its just that I haven't seen the old man in so long. He is probably dead"
"That doesn't really make sense" said Lee with a sweat drop.
The two stopped at a house by the shore. It was old considering it was losing its painting. The grass outside was overdue for a good cutting. A window was also broken. Lee looked at his captain thinking he would be sad how his home turned out.
"Yep home sweet home" said Jerome
"Are you serious!" shouted Lee
Jerome was then hit in the face with a bottle by a unknown source. The door started to creek open revealing a tall old man with a mullet and black sunglasses. He is wearing a blue and white striped shirt and baggy pants. He was drinking a bottle of saki.
"Who the heck are you kids" asked the old man
"Hey grandpa its me Jerome" cheered Jerome
The old man didn't seem to cheer but he looked dumbfounded. "Hey I had a grandson named Jerome. He was such a good boy"
"I know that's me you stupid old man!" shouted Jerome
The old man then ran up to give him a hug. Which was breath taking (Literally). When Jerome's grandpa put him down he then hit him over the head with a bottle. "Where the hell have you been!"
"I have been locked up" he answered
Lee looked at the grandson and grandfather. He could not help but think what kind of family was this. The answer quickly came to his mind. A very screwed up family.
"Hey who are you" Jiji asked Jerome again.
"I'm Jerome your grandson stupid!"
Much like last time Jerome was hit over the head with a bottle and Jiji asked him where he has been.
"You used the same joke twice!" yelled Lee
After things calmed down Jiji directed Jerome and Lee to the beach where there ship was located. And boy was it big. It was bigger then White Beards with the figure head of a wolf. There were at least fifteen bedrooms (A/N: I have used this number three times). The kitchen that went unseen was pretty large. There was also a room that was meet the be for trainging and a libray. Before he could gaze any longer Jerome was hit over the head with a bottle.
"Your welcome I lost three fingers making this for you" said Jiji presenting his lost fingers.
"Thank you I am really grateful" Jerome then looked back at the ship. "I will call her the lazy wolf"
"I am more of a panda man but this works to" commented Lee.
"Do you have all of your instruments" Darrius asked.
"Yep do you have your unbreakable paper" asked Kat.
"Yep, I guess we should go"
In the way off there path Dante and Crash ran past from the fan girls.
"What was that about" questioned Kat
At a later time the entire group found there way back at the docks and was lost for words at there new ship. They had all traveled to sea before but they never came across such an amazing ship. With everyone overjoyed they hopped on the ship and sailed there way to New World. An unexpected storm had occurred but for some reason everyone one was excited. Before they entered New World Cassidy said they should break a barrel.
"To make the ultimate dish" started Seiran
"To find my brother" added Lee
"To sail the world" added Cassidy
"To find my daughter and find the best view" added Tegami
"To live up my grandfathers name and find my mother" added Nora
"To bring down the government" added Travious
"Find the cure for every disease" added Crash
"make a map of the grand line" added Darrius
"Protect my nakama too the end" added Dante
"Become a famous musician" added Kat
"Go to the moon" added Luna
"Find all the ancient weapons!" finished Jerome
And with that the crew known as the Hell Fire entered New World together and hopefully forever.
Finished and a happy related Chrismas. I hope you enjoy and please leave a review.
