CH.2 RAIN THE PRINCESS OF PIRATES.
" Wait repeat that the princess of pirates what kind of a title is that." Laughed Kad as he sat back down against the mast.
"It is a better title than you two have Best thieves in Alabasta I mean what kind of title it that." Retorted Rain as she helped Forest back to the mast.
"Look that title is not one I'm happy about having but it gets the bills paid and keeps my family alive so don't curse about it ."Said Forest as he leaned against the mast.
"Ok so why don't you tell me what you mean by that while I fix you up."Replied Rain as forest sat down and put his leg out.
"It happened about 8 years ago my family and I first came to Alabasta to start a new after a life of being pirates. Unfortunately the marines followed us after our last port stop. They had warrant to kill and that they did slaughtering both my and Kads parents in cold blood. Soon after that Ryan Came down with Doku Doku virus which if you don't know is a near terminal virus if not treated . So after that I tarted doing odd jobs to get money but they weren't all the money I need to pay the bills . So one day a man gave me instead of Flame Flame Fruit and being me I ate it on spot .after that me and kad started diving shipwrecks and of course you know what happens to a devil fruit user and water. Then me and Kad using my powers and his talent with a swords started raid in ships and that is pretty much how it has been for 8 years." Explained Forest on the brink of tears.
"Ya it has been pretty rough for us I mean Holly Forests younger Sis is the one taking care of Ryan right now so if we don't come back they will die ."Added Kad as he stared at the crew of the thousand Sunny who were looking at them.
"That is so sad I mean you guys can't leave and if you do others die ."Cried Rain tears filling her eyes .
"Ya we know so what is going to happen to us when we get to port ?"Asked Forest as Rain finished Bandaging his leg.
"you're going to be part of my crew !" Shouted luffy as he jumped down and landed beside Rain.
"What hold up what did you say?" Questioned Kad in disbelief
"I said you are joining my crew." Replied luffy with a grin.
"Sorry Man but if I did that I would be leaving my family to find for themselves and I can't do that." Replied Forest shaking his head .
"Hey I got an Idea ,Forest have you ever heard of the one piece?" Asked Nami form the second floor rail.
"No what on hell is that?" Asked Forest with a puzzled look.
"you mean neither of you two know about it?" Exclaimed Rain in surprise.
" Nope ."Replied Kad "So what is it ?"Questioned Kad with a interested look.
" Well see the pirate king before me Gol D. Roger before he died hide his treasure in the center of the grand line. So any pirate that finds it will be the next pirate king."Anwsered Luffy as he stood beside Rain.
"Wait aren't you the pirate king." Exclaimed Forest as he shot up in surprise. "please I'll do anything for a chance at that loot so can you give me some. "Said Forest excited
"Not quite if that was true we wouldn't be here right now." Replied Nami as she walked down the stairs to stand beside Luffy . " You see about three years ago we were forced out of the second half of the grand line so we have been trying to get back but then Vivi our friend the princess here called and said she needed help. Oh and Luffy and I aren't echnically the pirate king and queen but most see us as that since we got the farthest into line." Explained Nami as she kissed Luffy . Luffys face turned red and he smirked .
"Come on Nami not now ."Luffy pouted sarcastically.
"Oh so I guess that means I have a chose join your crew and let down the other or stay and not be able to pay ." Murmured Forest as he thought about his chose.
"look if you want you can bring them on board we always need more help this is a big ship and it's hard to keep it up and beside we need a thief." Giggled Rain as she went over to Forest ."Besides a think fate has played its hand and your kinda cute ."Whispered Rain giggling as forests face blushed.
"What are trying to hide form me you know what happens ."Declare luffy as he started to tickling Rain.
"Dad Stopp please I'm going to pea Haahhhaaa!" yelled Rain trying to get away from her Father.
" look let me and kad talk and then we'll decide I'm sure that Holly will go with whatever we decide." Said Forest as he and Kad went up to the head of the ship.
"ok I think we should go , think about it Forest Ryan's in a stable time right now he is walking , and think more food n, more bills , and a doctor for him all the time. To add we finally get a useful use of our talents." Said Kad as he waved his hands out to his sides .
" Now I think that we should go too but what happens when Ryan does go through a unstable time and then we get kick off. " Replied Forest as he put his hand behind his head .
"Look man we've been through a lot the last 8 years these people are giving a chance for a family and a second chance at life sure they're pirate but we have done worse and we can get back at the marines." Said Kad putting his hands on Forests Shoulder. "Man a family is something I need you guys are the best friends and family I have ever but we can't keep it up and you know that." Pouted Kad on the verge of tears .
"All right I agree we're joining the Strawhat pirate and all of us are coming on this adventure ."Replied Forest as he walked the rail above the Lawn Rain was swinging with Ussop and luffy was talking with Nami about Something.
" Hey Everyone me and kad Have Decided to Join your crew and my family will be joining as well!" Declared Forest as he lite his hand. "And with that what am I Captain?" Asked Forest as his hand went out .
"you and Kad are the new Straw hat thieves." Replied Luffy Grinning .
"Congrates you two I 'll be doing stuff for our new arrivals." Said Nami as she went off to do something .
"I'll go tell Sanji to get a feast ready for when you two return from getting your stuff ."Said Ussop as he ran up to the Galley.
"You two better just relax we got an hour before we get to port so just enjoy yourselves, Rain how them around ."Said Luffy as the went to sit on the head of the ship.
"So come boys ."Said rain as she lead them off.
About an hour later in the port Vivi the princess of Alabasta was standing on the dock waiting for her friends that had brought her back to this island . As the Thousand Sunny into view Vivi got excited form the sight of luffys straw hat . "Hey guys Did you have any trouble getting here? "Asked Vivi as the Thousand sunny docked. A Shirtless boy standing with one with swords and a girl with orange hair. Vivis face puffed up as she recognized the two boys. "What the hell are you two doing on this ship !" Screamed Vivi As she barreled uo the gang plank toward Forest and Kad.
"Hey isn't that VIVI!" Exclaimed Kad looking at the blue haired lady charging at them.
"What Vivi it's not what it seem well it might be but please we did right this time please don't!" screamed Forest as Vivi full force punched his face hurling him into the deck.
"you two I told you not to get in the way or steal any more peoples treasure loot or whatever you call it stop your only hurting this town. Declared Vivi as Luffy came up behind her. He tapped her shoulder making her to calm down .
"Vivi it is nice to see you but why are you hitting my crew? "Questioned Luffy with a blank expression.
"Your crew that means you two got caught and joined Luffys crew good job boys Holly will be happy to hear that you'll are moving ."Said vivi as she hugged the two .
"Thanks Princess but you're cocking us and we are going there now." Replied kad as Vivi let them go both gasping for air.
Rain was standing on the side and jumped remembering something. "O YA you guys haven't meet one person he's Sanjis adopted son will." Said Rain as she cupped her hands around her mouth. "Will get your tail down here!" Yelled Rain in the direction of the kitchen .
A blonde head popped out wearing a dress shirt and slacks with the sleeves rolled. "Yes rain what do want?" Asked Will as he came over to the group .
"You and me are going to help these two get our new crew members and their stuff which shouldn't be much ."Replied Rain as a messenger came up to Vivi and saluted .
"Miss Vivi I have terrible news trouble in town the marines are going to kill Holly and Ryan brooks for crimes of Thief and Piracy." Declared the Messenger .
"WHAT !" Screamed Forest and Kad in unison .
"You two go I know what they mean to you go Rain, Will go with them and hurry!" Ordered Luffy as he throw the four off toward Forests house .
AS the group land in a big heap forest shoot up out and ran toward a building with a ladder . "What are we Doing?' Asked Rain as they climbed up the ladder.
"you're about to see why forest has the less known nickname given to him by the marines Helljumper ."Answered Kad as he grabbed Forest's hand. "Grab on ."Said Kad as Rain and will made human chain. " Good to go forest there's a bit more weight than usual but let her rip." Exclaimed Kad As Forest's feet burst into flames .
"FLAME ROCKET!" Screamed Forest as he rockets skyward .
