Chapter 5
The Restaurant on the Sea,
The Commander of Whitebeard, and Demon Queen Lilith
The Straw hats were relaxing on their new ship the going merry Luffy sat on the figure head, Nami and Kyma in a beach chairs reading the newspaper, Zoro was sleeping near a wall Usopp was trying to test the cannon and Cain was in the crow's nest and he heard a cannon go off "hey dumb and dumber what are you two idiots doing down there" said Cain to Luffy and Usopp "just testing the cannon" said Luffy "I hope you didn't accidently hit someone" said Cain and he went back to admiring the sky.
He then heard talking from someone not on his crew "come out you worthless pirates you killed my partner" said a man who was trying to kill Luffy Zoro came out of the dining area "Johnny is that you" said Zoro "big bro Zoro is that you" said the man identified as Johnny Johnny told us about how our cannonball hit the island the duo were on and now his partner was dieing "were so sorry" said Luffy and Usopp we brought Yosaku and I recognized the symptoms as scurvy "hey captain dumbass Usopp get some limes and squeeze the juice into his mouth" said Cain and the duo did as told.
They came back with limes and started squeezing the juice down "alright guys were going to Baratie" said Cain "why" asked everyone "to get a great chef according to Luna aunt Sani's son Sanji is there and if he has his mother's cooking abilities then he should be the best of our generation" said Cain "then let's go Nami set our course" said Luffy we tied Johnny and Yosaku's boat to our ship and set sail for Baratie the restaurant on the sea.
A few days later
We arrived at Baratie and so I gathered everyone "ok everyone look presentable guys get in the suits and girls in the dresses" said Cain and and everyone changed Cain was wearing a black suit no tie his black and silver hair in its usual mess but he made it look good, Kyma was wearing a thigh high black dress in black high heeled boots, Luffy wore a black suit with a red undershirt and black tie along with his signature straw hat (his strong world suite), Nami wore a black knee high dress a pink scarf and black heels (strong world outfit), Zoro was wearing a black suit with a white undershirt, and black tie (also strong world), Usopp was wearing a black and white striped suite and an orange tie (strong world suite).
As they were sailing they saw the amazon pirate ship at Baratie and a marine ship came up beside them "hey who are you" said a man with pink hair and a striped suit with a scar under his eye and iron knuckles.
"Which of you is the captain" said the man "I am I'm Luffy this is my second in command Cain D. Arashikage" said Luffy "we are a new pirate crew and if you don't mind we're just here for some food and maybe a chef if you don't cause us problems we won't cause you trouble" said Cain "men their boat is an eyesore sink it" said the man "damn asshole" said Cain he concentrated his Haki to his hand caught the cannonball and threw it back at the ship "lets anchor guys" said Cain and the crew and bounty hunters anchored next to a striker and the ST. Maries fire and went inside.
The straw hats got inside and saw the other people looking at a figure dressed in a hood like Cain's the hooded figure looked up at them and Cain looked at the figure as if staring it down to the straw hats it felt like a stare down between two specters of death or even two devils.
The figure threw a knife at Cain and he just caught it "nice through sis." said Cain smirking "nice catch baby brother but you could have reacted faster people won't believe your the son and heir of the demon queen and grim reaper if you get lazy." said hooded figure in a female voice taking off the hood there was a girl with silver hair and sea blue eyes she then threw a ball of water at Cain he dodged and it went out the still open door "when can through water sis." said Cain.
"Ever since I ate the Mizu-Mizu no Mi and became a water woman." said Pandora smirking "and now since we are in the same area you can use some of my power." said Pandora Cain concentrated and his arm was made of water "now Cain just because you are made of and can manipulate water doesn't mean that your immune to the normal fruit user weaknesses if you get completely submerged in water or make contact with seastone you will drown or lose your powers as you usually would." said Pandora "now come sit and eat some lunch with your big sister and we can discuss our adventures." said Dora smiling.
The two siblings discussed what has been going on in Pandora's case what hasn't been in the paper until Luna came up to them "don't know if you two are interested or not but that marine Fullbody has a Krieg pirate on his ship." said Luna and as soon as she finished the siblings were gone.
"Mom where did they go?" asked Luffy "I just gave them something they both have wanted for a while now a lead to their mother the siblings came back dragging the Krieg pirate Pandora threw him on the table "listen here you Kriege trash we'll give you food and a boat but you have to bring your captain here got it if you don't I will hunt you down and slaughter you, your captain, and your men do you understand." said Pandora "yes." the man mumbled.
Pandora gave the Kriege pirate food and sent him on his way with a boat from the amazon pirates "so brother what brings you here?" asked Pandora "we need a cook." said Cain "well might I recommend Sani's kid Sanji he has been trained by Zeff since was a kid, and it's in more than just cooking he's also good at fighting." said Pandora "well he sounds perfect." said Cain, Cain told Luffy and the crew about Sanji and they agreed he sounded perfect for the crew and Luffy started pestering him to join the crews.
After seeing Nami and Kyma he immediately started flirting with them and offered the two sisters roses and sweet words, "I forgot to mention that Sanji is a bit of a perv he tried flirting with me when I got here." said Pandora.
At Don Krieg's flag ship
"I see so this cook saved your life so you could return to us and these two siblings said they want me dead." said Krieg "yes sir it's time I take you to the restaurant on the sea Beratie." said Ghin "well looks like my kids think their ready to save me well now is the best time the entire crew except Ghin is starved and he'll be too busy getting Krieg some food." thought Lilith Mihawk Arashikage.
A few days later Bearatie
A few days passed Luffy continued to pester Sanji to join the crew and the Arashikage siblings just stared into the ocean waiting for Krieg to show up it was fogging but the two looked at the ocean as if they could see right through the mist "how do you know he'll show up?" asked Cain "oh believe me little brother he'll show up." the siblings then felt something in the air and looked towards the ocean even more intently and they saw it the ship that took their mother years before.
"Alright little brother let's go inside it's time soon, soon we'll have kriegs head on a spike." said Pandora and they went inside everyone but the Arashikages were freaking out "Cain I think now is our que to leave." said Usopp "no not till I have Kriegs head on a spike." said Cain the massive shadow of Don Krieg walked across the windows and all the two siblings could think of was their mother so they snuck out of restaurant and snuck on board the massive Galleon and searched for their mother walking over the half dead bodies of the Krieg pirates and they found her in the captain's quarters and like everyone else she looked starved "my babies your here I knew you'd find me." said Pandora they got her loose and helped their mother to the restaurant where they saw Krieg eating "Sani get me something to eat right now." Lilith called "yes my queen." said Sani and she got her captain some food while Lunna and Zora helped the siblings set their mother down.
People started muttering about Demon queen Lilith "out of my way assholes." said Sani and she set food in front of her captain and she ate "thank you Sani." said Lilith, Krieg finished eating and then attacked Sanji and walked up to Lilith ready to take her hostage again she had just finished her meal and when Krieg got to her table she grabbed the man by the throat and lifted him off his feet "great back to one hundred percent I could probably kill you now if my son hadn't already called first dibs on that." said Lilith and she threw Krieg into the wall "sixteen years ago Krieg you attacked me while I was without my crew and had four kids to protect now my two apprentices aren't here and my kids are all grown up and ready to take you down and I have my three strongest fighters." said Lilith smirking.
Zeff came down with the one hundred meals Krieg had demanded before he approached Lilith "there's about a hundred meals in there take it and go, hello Lilith." said Zeff "hey Zeff it's been a while last I saw of you, you were in Ragna's crew as a chef and if I remember one of his strongest fighters." said Lilith "your red-foot Zeff." said Krieg staring at Zeff.
"Boss Zeff what are you doing if those pirates get their strength back they'll take our ship and kill us all." said a chef "that's true if they still have the will to fight." said Zeff "what about you did your will survive." Zeff said to Krieg "hehh heee Red foot." laughed Krieg "the infamous pirate captain who was also the ships cook, your one of the few people who survived the grand line unscathed alongside the demon queen and grim reaper." said Krieg an argument began between Zeff and Krieg over the log book.
Krieg left with the food and went back to his ship the other cooks started to complain and blamed Sanji and Ghin told them of his time on the grandline how one man destroyed their entire fleet "Ghin did this man have eyes like a hawk cold, murderous, and yellow?" asked Cain "yes how did you know?" asked Ghin "you met my uncle Hawk-eye Mihawk." said Cain "as to why he attacked you well you did have his sister on your ship that could have had something to do with it." said Cain.
"Yes Zoro I'm related to the world's greatest swordsman, no I'm not planning on taking his place, and I will ask him to fight you but if you want my advice wait a few more years and train continuously he's the best for a reason." said Cain knowing exactly what Zoro would be asking everyone was preparing to fight the Krieg pirates when they felt waves outside Zeff ordered his cooks to get the anchor before they sank with Kriegs Galleon they went outside and found Johnny and Yosaku in the ocean "Johnny Yosaku what happened?" asked Luffy "big sis Nami took the ship and the treasure." said Johnny "what." screamed the four straw hat boys "don't worry Cain will go after your little girlfriend while you take care of Krieg." said Cain's sister Pandora who came up alongside them on st maries fire "have fun son." said Lilith "Usopp, Zoro, Johnny, Yosaku go with them me and Cain will stay here and deal with Krieg." said Luffy "Before you go Zoro if you want get yourself killed almost then my uncle is here now." said Cain pointing out the small coffin shaped boat his boat stopped hundred feet or so from the restaurant "you monster what did we ever do to you." asked a Krieg pirate "well originally you took my baby sister hostage now since my nephew saved her I guess I'm just killing time." said Mihawk the pirate shouted "bastard" and tried to shoot Mihawk but Mihawk drew his sword and changed the trajectory of the bullet.
Zoro appeared behind him and Cain did as well "Zoro he's the best for a reason if you fight him you risk death itself I can't help you in this fight." said Cain "I know." said Zoro "alright uncle this man Zoro wishes to challenge you for your place as the best please don't kill him me and my crew still need him alive." said Cain "as you wish nephew but I can't promise this boy will survive." said Mihawk he jumped on the ship and took out a tiny knife from his cross necklace and Zoro attacked his three swords drawn "Oni-Giri." he shouted his signature attack but Mihawk just stopped the attack with the tip of his knife "I am not that far behind the the world's strongest." shouted Zoro and he started swinging his swords wildly Mihawk continued to deflect each attack he then kicked Zoro away Zoro got up and continued his attack.
Mihawk then stabbed Zoro with his knife but even still Zoro refused to back down Hawkeye took the knife out of Zoro and re sheathed it "what is your name boy?" asked Hawkeye "Roronoa Zoro." said Zoro "I'll remember it." said Hawkeye smiling and he drew Yoru "this is the world's strongest black blade." said Hawkeye and he prepared to attack with it and Zoro prepared one of his strongest attacks "three swords secret style: three thousand worlds." shouted Zoro and Mihawk attacked at the same time breaking two of his swords but the one in his mouth was fine.
Zoro sheathed his last blade and prepared himself for the final strike from Mihawk "why?" asked Mihawk "scars on the back are a swordsman's shame." said Zoro and Mihawk slashed Zoro across the chest with his sword.
Zoro fell in the sea and Johnny and Yosaku jumped in after him Luffy attacked Mihawk but he slightly dodged the attack and Luffy got his head stuck "you are such a loser sometimes you idiot." said Cain pulling Luffy out of the ship Mihawk asked their dream and they answered they wanted to be a Yonko for Cain and Pirate King for Luffy.
"A more lofty dream even greater than surpassing me." said Mihawk "let us worry about that uncle." said Cain smirking krieg then tried to kill Mihawk but he just disappeared and the real battle began.
Cain attacked Krieg using his saiyan abilities along with his kaze Kaze no mi abilities to take to the air and fly straight at Krieg that's when he let loose Pearl one of his strongest fighters "Luffy fight Pearl while I deal with Krieg Sanji if Ghin becomes a problem he's all yours." said Cain Luffy went after Pearl (Pearls fight goes similar to cannon except its luffy who fights him same with Sanji's fight with Ghin.) "go ahead you hit like a girl anyway." said Sanji "it's over now die Sanji." said Ghin and he attacked with his Tonfa but Sanji just dodged "what was that your pitty." said Sanji, Sanji kicked Ghin away and got up but then there was a sickening crack as a good portion of Sanji's bones broke and he fell over Ghin got up and went to grab Sanji by the throat "damn bastard." said Sanji and Ghin started crying.
"I can't." said Ghin "I can't obey your order, this man saved my life I can't don Krieg I won't do it I'm sorry captain." said Ghin "what did you say?" yelled Don Krieg "I won't follow your order." said Ghin as he flashed back to the two siblings and Sanji helping him.
Ghin pleaded with Krieg to let him disobey this one time but Krieg would have none of it Krieg took one of the pauldrons off his shoulders and combined it with some parts to make some sort of cannon "no not the gas." said Ghin "mh5 gas bomb." said Krieg and he fired the bomb Ghin threw his mask in the water but the water came alive and forced two masks on him and Sanji thanks to Cain, Cain then noticed that Luffy didn't have a mask he had one more in his hand and so Cain moved as fast as he could and got the mask on Luffy's face just as the bomb went off.
When the smoke cleared the water stopped keeping the mask on Ghin and everyone saw an extremely pale Cain holding a mask on Luffy Cain then coughed up blood and fell to the side "why did you do that Cain?" asked Luffy "I don't know I just did it my body moved on its own." said Cain and he started to try to get up "even if I'm one foot in the grave I'm still dragging you down to hell with me Krieg." said Cain but he fell on his hands and knees coughing up more blood "Cain if you insist on fighting you need to use this mask to breath in better air." said Luffy putting the mask on Cain and he got back up.
"I won't die until I've killed you Krieg that's something I swore to do when I was young." said Cain and he took off the mask and turned his whole body into water and everyone saw where the MH5 gas had mixed with the water in him the poison coming out of his water body as a liquid and he became flesh again and he looked healthier "much better now where was I oh yes kicking your ass." said Cain and he ran at Krieg to resume his attack eyes red and hawk like, like his uncle.
He ran up to Krieg and started continuously punching him never letting up Krieg shot spikes at the dark haired boy but he took it he tried protecting himself with a spiked cloak but he punched right through it Krieg then brought out his strongest weapon his spear but Cain just broke the spears tip off and no matter how many times Krieg tried to blow him up Cain got right back up and attacked even more Krieg jumped on top of a ship post but Cain just ran up it and punched him so hard he cracked the armor Krieg used a net to get Cain and tried to drag him down but Cain just grabbed the man's throat "this will end it and my vengeance will be complete." said Cain and with a sickening crack Cain snapped Kriegs neck like a twig "now it's over reap it Krieg you son of a bitch." and with those words Cain passed out from blood loss, exhaustion, and the remaining poison in his veins.
Sanji dived in after the boy to save him from drowning he found him and brought him back up to the surface and they got him breathing again "Ghin." called Luffy, "what is it." said Ghin "I would like to ask you to join my crew your loyal and a good fighter and that's something my crew could use." said Luffy "but I was part of the Krieg pirates I was even there when Krieg took Cain's mother." said Ghin "that maybe so but Cain hated Krieg he had no problem with you he just wanted your old captain dead you all would have died had you gotten in his way." said Luffy "then if you will have me I will join you captain Luffy." said Ghin "welcome to the crew." said Luffy and everyone went inside taking Cain up to one of the rooms so he could rest and gave the remaining Krieg pirates a boat to leave.
With Nami
Nami and Kyma were sailing back to their home island crying that they had to betray Luffy and Cain when the Saint Maries fire sailed up right next to the merry and a tall ebony haired woman with bright red eyes came aboard the ship "sorry girls but my ship happens to be one of the fastest ships in the world the only thing that has ever managed to outrun it was the ship of Gol D. Roger, the Oro Jackson now want to tell me why you betrayed my son I thought Bellemere would raise her daughters better than that." said Lilith and then Nami and Kyma broke down and told her how Arlong was holding their mother and village hostage.
The demon queen then made a decision first she would save her old spy and navigator then she and her kids and her son's crew would liberate the island "yosaku go get my son if he's finished with Krieg then get him to Cocoyashi village on the Conomi islands as fast as possible and Yosaku did as he was told to retrieve the two captains of the straw hat pirate crew.
A few hours later
Cain woke up a few hours after his battle and he saw Sanji, Luffy, and Ghin at his bedside "hey guys how long was I out for?" Cain asked "a few hours." said Sanji "the chefs are preparing a feast in your honor for defeating Krieg." said Luffy "it wasn't just me it was all three of us you, me and Sanji, Luffy." said Cain to his best friend "Commander Cain you took the MH5 gas bomb for Don Luffy, and continued to fight Krieg with poison still in your system even if it was the tiniest amount that makes you a hero." said Ghin "so Sanji change your mind about joining us yet." said Cain "no I can't sorry but until I pay my debt to the old man I can't go anywhere." he said "well that's your decision I can't force you to change." said Cain getting up and going outside "hey Cain have you ever heard of the All blue?" asked Sanji "yeah your mom used to mention it alot when I was a baby from what I can remember which is sadly everything." said Cain.
"She said it was a sea where all the seas fish congregated she wanted to find it herself actually but she never got the chance my mom believes that the sea surrounding Raftel that last island in the grandline and the supposed location of the one piece is actually All Blue but the only one who can tell us is Roger himself since he went to Raftel alone to hide One Piece and well he's dead." said Cain "It's my dream to find it as well but I can't until I pay my debt." said Sanji "if we go to the Grand Line without you and we make it to the end will find you and tell you if All Blue is worth it." said Cain and they all went to the dining area.
The four men had to sit on the floor and eat since there were no more chairs "ahh who made this soup." one of the chefs yelled "oh I did isn't it great." said Sanji "ah this soup is horrible." said another chef and all the chefs were complaining about the soup "shut up all of you were on the sea so no wasting." said Zeff but he immediately spit out the soup "you expect me to serve this slop." said Zeff and with everyone calling his soup disgusting Sanji left the room and went outside "I don't see what the problem is I mean this stuffs great." said Luffy "yeah I agree with captain Dobe here." said Cain eating his own soup "kid we know its great Sanji just maybe one of the best chefs in this restaurant one of the best chefs here aside from Zeff." said one of the chefs "listen this isn't something I want to be asking but you need a cook right would you two mind taking Sanji the grandline is his dream." said Zeff "our dreams are their to and under every circumstance we would love to have Sanji on our crew but we can't force him to join us he needs to make that choice on his own." said Cain "Cain is right if we force people to join us were no different than the type of pirates we dislike." said Luffy.
Suddenly a pan shark came crashing through the door with Sanji and someone in its mouth "Yosaku what's going?" said Cain "oh hey big bro Luffy, big bro Cain." said Yosaku "and a totally unrelated question but how did you survive being carried here by a pan shark?" said Cain "why are you here alone, where are the others, did you find Nami?" asked Luffy they got Yosaku out of the pan shark and sent it on its way.
Yosaku explained how they caught up to Nami and how Nami told Lilith something and she sent Yosaku to get Cain and Luffy and tell them to head to Cocoyashi Village on the Conomai islands "alright Luffy, Ghin let's go." said Cain the four started to leave "wait." said Sanji as they passed him "your dream is foolish but then again so is mine, now's as good a time as any why not start my quest right now." said Sanji "so Sanji did you change your mind are you ready to join our crew?" asked Cain "yeah I'll join you and find the all blue." said Sanji "then welcome to the straw hats." said Luffy.
Sanji went to pack his stuff up, and the cooks gave them food for the journey Luffy made sure they put lots of meat in it "hey kid you want this it's my log book a full detailed description of my year their." said Zeff "as useful as it could be we want to experience it for ourselves." said Cain "heh I knew it." said Zeff.
The crew waited on the boat for Sanji he came out and Patty and Carne tried to attack him and with one last tearful goodbye Sanji left his home and the straw hats sailed for the Conomi Islands.
A.N. hey all my readers I no the chapter feels a little lackluster especially with all the hype I gave Cains fights over the last few chapters but I guess I went for Quantity of quality in this chapter and I know it may not be worth the months I put into this chapter I had gone through several different versions of this chapter so I just wanted to get it out and I didn't really feel like writing Luffy's fight with Pearl since the results were about the same as cannon and Sanjis fight with Ghin was also pretty much canon, during the poison scene I was kind of drawing on the time Sasuke saves Naruto from Haku on the bridge in Wave so anyway sorry this chapter isn't as good as it could be I'll try to make the Arlong arc better.
