------------------------------
"She's waking up!" Willis yelled.
It been a few days since the blue aired girl came to the ship battered and bruised. So far Astusmi had been taking care of her, but she told Willis to keep watch. Of course Willis had an excuse that he is captain and that he shouldn't be ordered around. So instead he used a double to keep watch of the girl while he go and eat and drink ale. Anyway the double called everyone in while the girl rose from her slumber with bandages around her arms and band-aids around her face. Everyone charged in the girl's room to see the blue haired girl as she was waking up.
"She's waking up boss…" the double said.
"Right stupid, you are dismissed." Willis said to himself (get the joke?)
The double disappeared like a mirage leaving the crew with the blue haired girl. The blue haired girl rose from her bad and looked around and seen the crew of the Soaring fox standing before her.
"Where am I?" she said. She then noticed a white haired girl standing before her, "A-Astusmi…is that you?"
"It's been a while mizuki." Astusmi said while she sat herself in the chair.
"Yeah…three years to be exact…" Mizuki said. She then turned her head and noticed three other people standing before her, one with a bandanna, one with a Capone hat, and one with a ponytail. "Who the hell are these guys?"
"Who the hell" is a rude way of asking?" Willis and Jon yelled while Mikashi kept to herself.
"Those are my crewmates." Astusmi said. Mizuki stared at Astusmi in disbelief in her face, which made Astusmi get a little angry. "Oi, what with that face!?" she yelled.
"you…Astusmi….ms I hate pirates….ms I'll take care of things my own way…….join a crew of pirates!?" Mizuki said while she pointed at her. Astusmi eye twitch a little at Mizuki comments, she just sighed and spoke, "look I join a pirate crew, big whoop want to fight about it?" Astusmi said as she folded her arms. Mizuki chucked a bit at Astusmi before speaking, "I'm just messing with you Astusmi. I'm just surprised a bounty hunter would join a crew." Mizuki then stared at the rest of the crew, "well don't just stand their introduce yourselves!
"Sliver D. Jon…Navigator…"
"Mikashi…..Cook."
"And I'm Willis D. Cade…captain and king of ale!"
"Would you stop with that nickname already?!" Astusmi yelled while she judo chops Willis's head.
Mizuki chuckled a bit before feeling a stinging pain in her arms; she held them tight and grinded her teeth trying to overcome the pain. Astusmi and the other are noticed that she was in pain as well, "Mizuki are you alright!?" Astusmi yelled.
"Yeah, I'll be fine." Mizuki said.
"Excuse me for asking…" Jon said, "But could you tell us what happened to you?"
Mizuki looked at the Capone hat wearing pirate as he asked the question. She noticed that the guy looked kind of familiar, "haven't I see you somewhere?" she asked.
"Err…no…we haven't met before."
"oh well…guess I'll tell you guys about what happen to me."
-----------------------------------------------------------------
In a café on an island.
the café called Gundust was closed today due to the owner taking a day off. Which wasn't true, the owner was inside the café serving drinks to five strange people. The owner was a female named Yura she has short black hair that reached to her neck. She wore a shirt that showed her stomach and shorts that showed her legs. She poured five people who sat on the bar stool resting on the bar counter. She served everyone expect the drinks they wanted. "So, what's with the gloomy faces?" she asked to the five people. One weird thing about the five is that they all wore black.
"well…our last attempt to take over the marine base was a failure." A man with blonde hair wearing a black long sleeve t-shirt with black pants. He had a Mangum in his holster, and was drinking regular ale while the guy next to him spoke.
"It wouldn't have been a complete failure Ken-sama…." A guy with short black hair wearing a hat with white around it, he also had a white long sleeve underneath his black t-shirt. He wore black shorts and had a pistol in his holster while he drinks a bloody Mary. " ……if it wasn't for a Jin taking a nap!"
Jin was sleeping on the table drooling, which made the guy who complained grew a vein, "WAKE THE HELL UP!" He yelled.
The guy lifted his sleepy head and spoke, "Rob-san….you should be quieter and stop…uh….uh…zzzzzzzzzzz" the guy then fell back to sleep. Witch made Rob even madder, "I'M GOING TO SHOOT YOU!!" he yelled as he reached for his gun.
"Oi, rob…" A guy wearing a black tank top and black long hair spoke, he seemed to be the most muscular of the group "if you're going to fight, you should fight with your fist like a man."
"Shut up Ryu!" Rob yelled, "if that's true why do you fight with Guns!?"
"I fight with Throw away guns…" Jin then pointed to his jacket which had a bunch of small guns wrapped around it.
"Those are too many Guns!" Rob yelled.
"Umm…well…I think that that next time well do better net time!" a young kid who looked like the age of 13 said. he had a Scope gun rested on his back. Due to his age, he was drinking orange juice.
"Well aren't you the optimistic one?" Yura spoke while she smiled.
"Johnny is always optimistic about things…" Rob said, "Even though he not optimistic about wetting the bed."
"Shut up Rob!" Johnny said while pointing his gun at Rob.
"Bring it on Kid!" Rob said while pointing his gun.
"Wait Johnny you have to fight with your fist or you'll never be a man!" Ryu said holding his fist.
"zzzzzzzz……" Jin snored.
Suddenly a gun fire rang upwards into the air making every one stop doing what their doing. The one known as Ken put his Gun back in his holster and begun to spoke, "if you guys have time for auguring, then you have time to from another plan!" Ken yelled.
"Ken-Kun…" the woman spoke, "you expect everyone to be all clam after you guys failed another mission."
"yeah I know that…." Ken said taking a sip of ale, "by the way, where is you husband?"
"at the port of the island as always….." Yura sighed, "He truly believes that help will arrive."
"it good to believe and have hope." Ken said, "it what this island needs…."
Ken then lifted himself and walked over to a table, "well what you guys are waiting for, get over here and let for another plans. We are the Sniper island Renegades, the one's who will take over the island!"
-----------------------------------------
"Renegades…..form Sniper Island?" Mikashi asked Mizuki.
"Yeah…that's what happened. I was looking for a man who the government is giving a lot of money for. While I had looked someone who claimed to be a renegade managed to beat me up and took my sword. After that I black out and next thing I know I'm here…"
"They must have thought you died and threw you in the ocean." Jon said
"Hey Astusmi, aren't those the guys that the fat ass was talking about?" Willis said.
"Yeah…they are at the same place that we are heading as well..that sharpshooter island." Astusmi spoke, "but why are they so violent?"
"Well…" the blue haired girl spoke, "I think it because they are trying to take over the island."
Everyone looked at Mizuki and wonder what she meant by that, so she continued. "On sniper island, there are two districts ever since the Navy took over that island. One which is the dangerous part of town, and the other which is the safer and more richer side of town. The Renegades blame the navy because it is said that they pay more attention to the richer side of town instead of the poor side. However I heard there was another reason why they are after the navy of that island."
"Another reason…?" Astusmi said.
"I heard…that a while back, someone from the renegades betrayed them and killed the former leader." Mizuki, "and that man is the person who I was after for the bounty…"
"he has a bounty on his head…" Willis yelled, "He is not even a pirate, how does he have a bounty!?"
"umm…." Mikashi spoke, "maybe it because he has it as a criminal….not as a pirate?"
"My question is this Mizuki…" Astusmi spoke, "if he is a criminal and has a bounty, why is the navy working with him if he is a former renegade?"
"he doesn't has a bounty anymore." Jon spoke which got everyone's attention. "If was a criminal but is now working for the navy, then it possible that he doesn't even exists in the navy records book anymore. If I'm correct, then this guy might have the same freedom as a Shichibukaidoes."
Everyone gasped as Jon said the words "freedom." And "Shichibukai", in the same sentence. Everyone expect Mikashi, who wonder what the term mean, "what's a Shichibukai?" the skypiean asked.
"Shichibukai…." Willis spoke in a serious tone. "They are some of the strongest to the government. So strong that the government gives them the offer to roam free without a bounty on their head, all they have to do is leave their crews and give half of whatever money the get to the government. Astusmi's farther, was a Shichibukai."
Everyone blinked and had a dumbfounded look on their face, for the first time since each one of the met the Baka. He…was right. "W-Willis….how….how did you…." Astusmi said.
"Holy crap, the idiot got it right!" Jon yelled, "is hell really freezing over!"
"Shut up!" Willis yelled at his crew, "it not like I don't know something's!"
"But you don't know everything!" Astusmi thought.
"Willis-kun…" Mikashi spoke, "it just that we haven't seen you said something like in a serious tone."
"Well…" Willis said. "Let's just say, if I meet a certain Shichibukai again I'll kill him on the spot."
Everyone was surprised. They haven't seen Willis said something so serious. Plus you never heard him say the words "Kill" before. When he usually wants to beat someone up he say something like I'm going to kick you ass or something, but not killed, Plus who was this Shichibukai that he was talking about and what does he has to do with Willis? The only person who knew what he was talking about was Jon of course since he was secret agent for the government.
Mizuki sighed and lay back in her bed, "man Astusmi…you picked a wired captain to lead you. Anyway you guys said you were heading there right?"
"Yeah…" Willis spoke, "we're going to find some trea…" Suddenly Astusmi hand slapped across Willis's mouth, shutting him up "we...are…uh…" Astusmi said trying to think of a lie, "we are going to fid some tea for the ship we all love tea…." She then turned to everyone with devilish eyes that say, if you speak you dead! "Right….guys!?"
"Uhh…err…sure!" all three of them said.
"Well…if you going then take me with you. I got to get my sword back." Mizuki said. "That is if the captain's ok with it."
"Yeah…you can join…" Willis said. Suddenly his stomach started to growl louder than a cannon fire, "oi…Mika…" Willis said as he holds his stomach, "do we still have those Tangerines that Nami-baba-san gave to us?"
"Yeah…it in the storage room..."
"Great, go and make me some Tangerine surprise!"
"What is that?" Mikashi asked.
"If I told you it wouldn't be a surprise now would it?!"
Mikashi just sweat dropped at Willis, but smiled anyway, "guess your right, I'll get to it." Mikashi then made her way outside.
Astusmi then started to walk as well. "Well guess I got training to do…" she then stared at the Baka of a captain and grabbed his shirt, "your coming with me Willis…."
"W-wait, what the hell?!" Willis yelled.
"You're helping me train, just use your double's and you'll be fine." Astusmi said as she started drag a struggling Willis. The last two left we're mizuki and Jon. Jon turned around to stare at Mizuki, "bounty hunter…what kid of act is that Ensign Mizuki?" Jon asked.
"I should ask you the same Silver D. Jon." Mizuki said. "What are you doing on a pirate ship?!"
"Don't worry, this is only temporary…" Jon spoke. "Now…what were you really doing on the island?"
"Wow Jon…no hi or how have you been?" Mizuki said, she lifted herself up and walked towards Jon, "it been far too long since we both trained for government agent, you were the winning candidate while everyone else was assign to the marine's lowest rank, Seaman recruit."
"Jealous….I'm that damn good." Jon smiled, "besides you come a long way from that rank…making the rank of ensign is pretty fantastic."
"Yeah, expect I have to report to that Drunk…" Mizuki sighed.
"So, explain yourself…" Jon spoke, "bounty hunting is your alibi for when you're on missions. So what is your mission this time?"
"As I said before, there is a man who I need to kill for the navy. Right now he is severing for Marine captain Tillman…" Mizuki then pulled a picture from her pocket and showed it to Jon, the picture showed a guy who had tan-colored skin and dreadlock. He was also carrying something wrapped in cloth he carried on his back. Jon started at the picture a raised an eyebrow, "so is that the guy the marines sent you to hunt?"
"He is not the only one…"
"There is another you're supposed to hunt down?"
"No…but they also want me to keep an eye on Captain Tillman. They suspect that he might be corrupt since the encomny on that island has been going down lately."
"Funny you mention that…" Jon spoke he'd grabbed his letter that he had in his pocket and handed it to mizuki, "it seems that they want me to assist the captain. In controlling the island…" Mizuki scrolled down the letter and read what it said, "I wonder, why they are sending Government official and marines to check on a marine?" Mizuki spoke.
"I wonder as well…I got a bad feeling about this….."
-----------------------------
Meanwhile……
"Come on…..aren't….you tired?!" Willis yelled at Astusmi as they trained for four hours straight. Right now it about 4 of the Willis's clones against Astusmi as she held her blade huffing and puffing. "Hell no…..come Willis….more!" Willis sighed and made a disappointing face for he hoped Astusmi quit, the other clones also did the same thing. "Boss…can't we just gang up on her?!" one double spoke
"Even if we did that the will still slice us up!" Willis yelled.
Suddenly Astusmi charged in front of Willis's and started swinging her sword around. The real Willis tried his best to dodge it while the clones got hit and dispersed. Astusmi sliced her sword downward at Willis, Willis dodge as the claymore slammed into the wooden floor, "Oi, Astusmi, do mess up the ship damn it!!" Willis yelled.
"If you let me hit you then maybe the ship won't get hit!" Astusmi yelled back while trying to get her sword out of the ships deck floor. "now look what you made me do, it's stuck!" Astusmi tried her hardest to pull her sword out of the deck's floor. Finally, after one big pull, she finally pulled her sword out……along with a piece of the ship. Willis looked and made a dumbfounded look at Astusmi as she held the wood in her hand.
"Err…..Willis…..why did you make me damaged the ship?" Astusmi said as a started to scratch her head with embarrassment
"WHAT THE HELL BABA YOU TRIED TO KILL ME, NOW YOU TRYING TO KILL MY SHIP!?!?!?" Willis yelled. It seemed that his head gotten bigger when he yelled.
Before Willis can continued screaming, Mikashi came with a pie in her hand. Willis suddenly cooled down and ran up to the skipeian, forgetting about what Astusmi did. "Oh is this the surprise!" Willis Ask Mikashi as she held it in her hands.
"He'd completely forget didn't he?" Astusmi thought as she sweat dropped.
Mikashi started to speak about the food she cook, "yes Willis-kun, I made the tangerines into a pie, I call it Mikashi's special AAAAAAAAAH!" Mikashi screamed, Willis had eaten the whole pie from Mikashi hands, The whole pie folks, Willis swallowed the pie let out a belch and started walking, "thank you for the food!" Willis said. Mikashi had made an extremely worried face; she looked at he hands to make sure they were still there.
Willis look down at the deck floor and seen that it was a hole in the ground, "WHO PUT THIS HOLE HERE?!" he yelled.
"He did forget….Baka….." Astusmi thought.
"Man where the hell is Jon… I want to get to Sniper Island now!" Willis yelled.
"I think he is still in the girl's room with Mizuki…" Astusmi said, "wonder what they could be doing down there?"
"I got a few ideas…." Willis smiled.
"Pervert…." Astusmi scoffed
"Pervert….I was going to say they were playing cards!"
"Oh…never mind then…"
"Wait what the hell you thought I was going to say?!" Willis asked.
"Nothing…drop it!" Astusmi yelled.
"Tell me…captain's order!"
"Screw the captain's order!" Astusmi yelled.
The two continued auguring for a bit. Mikashi just watch the two augured and shook her head. She at the sea in front of her and noticed that they are about to come up on something. What she see is land with a huge stature in the middle of the island. "Guys...Look…Land ho!" Mikashi yelled out. Willis and Astusmi looked on as they seen the island ahead of them. "We're here…." Willis smiled, "Sniper Island!"
"Money here I come!" Astusmi yelled. "Yo, Mika…go get Jon and Mizuki, tell them we are pulling up to shore!"
Mikashi nod her head and made her way to the room were those two are. She opened the door to the girl's room and peeked in the room to see the two. While se peeked, she heard a conversation between the two. She decide to eavesdrop a bit to listen to the conversation.
"So that's the plan…." Jon spoke. "If we do that, then will find out what we need."
"You sure you want to do this?" Mizuki asked, "This plan involves betraying your crew."
"Yeah. Yeah…but like I said…this position I'm in is only temporary."
Mikashi gasped, which made Jon and Mizuki noticed, "who's there?!" Mizuki yelled. Jon opened the door to show a Mikashi standing in front of the door. Jon grabbed Mikashi and tosses her to the floor.
"Ease dropping eh?" Jon said.
"What should we do with her?"
"I've got an idea…." Jon said making a devious smile.
