I Don't Own One Piece
Artemis and Axel brought Yoko back to their ship, so she could fix the ship and to ask.
"So you want me to join your crew?" Yoko said
"That's right" Artemis said
"Hmm let me think about it. Sorry, but no" Yoko said
"Why not" Artemis asked
"Because I have my own dream to completion and don't think I can completion it with you guys" Yoko said as she walked off "By the way that ship you guys have is pretty much damage, it won't make half way to the next island might be better to get a new one"
Artemis watched her walked off and thought 'She's been through something. I can tell'
Axel came walking down from the ship with his rifle in his hand "While I guess we can't count her in the crew, huh? So need a new ship and find another shipwright"
"No" Artemis said
"No?" Axel said looking at Artemis
"I want her to join our crew" Artemis said with a serious face
"But she said no" Axel said
"I know, but there's about her" Artemis said "I got the same feeling when I asked you to join" she looked at Axel smiling, he smiled "I know we'll get her to join"
They walked back through the town, looking for Yoko
"I wonder where she is?" Artemis said "I should have asked Hera get a scent from her so she can track her" rubbing Hera's chin
"Maybe she went back to the shipyard, lets check there" Axel said, Artemis nodded
They saw some people running in a certain direction
"Come on!"
"Hurry up!"
"What's going on?" Axel said
"Something happening at the shipyard!"
Artemis and Axel looked at each other, nodded than ran in the same direction as the people.
When they got to the shipyard, there was a crowd of people, pushing through the crowd they saw Marines and Pacifistas surrounding Yoko and the shipwrights
"Marines. That's just great" Axel said sarcastically
"So those are marines?" Artemis asked
"Yeah a pirates worst enemy" Axel said
"Who are those big guys with them?" Artemis said
"Pacifistas, they're cyborgs built in the mold of the Shichibukai Bartholomew Kuma" Axel explained
"Shichibukai like my mom?. Have you ever fought those things before?" Artemis said
"A few times, when I was with that bastards crew. They're pretty tough to beat" Axel said, Artemis nodded
"Yoko what did you do?" the shipwright whisperer asked
"Nothing Pac" Yoko said
"Look whatever this about-" Pac said
"Oh this is about that little bitch taking a swing at one of my men" a marine captain said. Artemis and Yoko glared at the captain "Isn't that right Surge Blaster Yoko Kitten?" Artemis and Axel's eyes widen a bit
"Surge Blaster Yoko Kitten, bounty 9,000,000 beris" one of the Pacifistas said
"Thank you PX-35" the marine captain said
"She has a bounty on her head?" Axel said
"So she's a pirate?" Artemis said
"Surely you shipwrights know that harboring a pirate is a crime?" the marine captain said, with a smirk "So I presume you won't mind handing her over now would you?"
Yoko was about to step up, until Pac put his arm in front of her
"I'm sorry, but we run a business here and even though Yoko maybe dress inappropriately, she is a talented and gifted shipwright and I can not have you take her" Pac said. Yoko looked at him in awe, Artemis and Axel smiled
"Is that so? Alright than I guess we can sink this shipyard and take you all in than" the marine captain said "PX-35 prepare to open on these ships!"
The Pacifista opened his mouth, preparing to fire a laser, but before he could, a shot was fired at his chest, causing him to stumble a little. Everyone looked and saw it, was Yoko holding her rifle
"Don't you assholes even think of damaging these ships" Yoko said, gritting her teeth
"Is that right?! Men!" the marine captain ordered. A couple of marines "Yes Marine Captain Bo!" surrounded Yoko, pointed their guns at her "Lets see you try that again!"
The Pacifista prepared to open fire again, but Artemis quickly ran behind it, forming her katar dagger blades on her hands "Dual Holy Sabers" she jumped in the air, spinning and slashed the Pacifista's neck and shoulder. She landed gracefully on the ground
"What the!? Who the hell is she?!" Bo said
"Target unknown?" The Pacifista said
"Its you again" Yoko and Pac said
Men take aim that the woman, since she seems to be helping Surge Blaster!" Bo said
"Sir!" the marines now pointed their guns at Artemis, but were quickly shot down by Axel, using his Wrist-mounted magnums gauntlets
"Don't point guns at my captain" Axel said
"What the hell? Another one!" Bo
"You too? What you guys doing here?" Yoko said
"For me" Artemis said
"Me?" Yoko said
"Yeah, I already decided I want you in my crew as my shipwright" Artemis said, with a big smile. Hera slithered to her master
"That's how she got me to join" Axel said. Yoko looked at them
"Is that a snake? I thought the Kuja Pirates had those. Who are those guys?" Bo said
"Deadshot Axel, former sniper of the Corsairs Pirates, bounty of 11,100,000 beris" the Pacifista said, snapping the marine captain out of his thought
"Axel? You?" Artemis said
"Yeah I probably should have mention that" Axel said
"Alright PX-35, PX-36 prepare to attack!" Bo said
The Pacifistas approached the three pirates, Hera wrapped around Artemis's body took the form of a spiral, elevating her above the battlefield. Artemis raised her leg like mother's with her Dual Holy Sabers still activated. The crowd and the marine captain stared at Artemis in awe because of her beauty
"She's beautiful"
"Is she a goddess?"
"Whoa. I never seen her took that form before" Axel said, staring at Artemis. Yoko looked back at the two and smiled
"Hey you might want to stay focus" Yoko said to Axel, as she charged at the Pacifistas
"Y-yeah right" Axel said, he ran behind her.
Hera sling Artemis into the air, she went right pass the pacifista, sprouted her wings soaring in the air. The Pacifista opened his mouth, fired a laser at her, but she gracefully avoided it. She circled around the pacifista, shooting lasers at her. She cursed because she couldn't find a opening to attack.
Axel switched from using his Wrist-mounted magnums gauntlets to his rifle with his accuracy, he landed a destructive blow on the pacifista's right shoulder plate. The pacifista fired a laser nearly immobilizing the sniper
Yoko using her rifle, she shot at the same spot Axel fired, causing the pacifista to lose his arm. When the pacifista tried to reach out and grab her, Yoko flipped her rifle upside down, firing it, sending in the air and up the pacifistas arm, she fired multiple rounds into his arm while the rifle was upside down and she landed on the ground.
Yoko looked back at the pacifista, slowly approaching her, until Axel put a bullet through his head, he fell to the ground
"Not bad" Axel said
Artemis soared toward the pacifista, when she finally saw a opening. The pacifista still firing a lasers, using her Dual Holy Sabers, she infused with her Busoshoku Haki, she pushed through and sliced the pacifista's body and shoulders, causing him to fall to the ground.
'What the hell?! The Pacifistas have been defeated by these pirates!' Bo thought
"Nice job captain" Axel said
"Wow that was pretty cool" Yoko said
"Thanks" Artemis said, showing her big smile. Hera slithered to her. The crowd of people and shipwrights clapped and cheered for the three pirates
'Dammit this isn't good. I should notify the other marines about this' Bo thought, as he was backing away slowly
"Well thanks a lot you two, I really appreciate it, helping me protect the ships of the shipwrights here" Yoko said
"No problem, that's what crew mates are for right?" Artemis said
"Crew mates?" Yoko said "Look I already told you guys-"
"I know what you said, its because you have a dream to completion, but what makes you think you can't completion with us" Artemis said
Yoko was silent for a moment, than Axel spoke up
"What is your dream?" Axel asked
"...I wanted to be a shipwright my whole life, but because I'm a girl most people believed I couldn't do it, I'm gonna prove them wrong and be the first. I want my ship that can one day sail the seas around the world." Yoko said, putting her hand on the ship that was black with silver paint and had phoenix like figure for a figure head. "And the Onyx Falcon will do it"
"Wow that's some dream" Axel said
"So why don't you think you won't be able to completion your dream with us?" Artemis asked
"Because you guys are pirates" Yoko said
"And apparently so are you that pacifista said you had a bounty on your head" Axel said
"Well I did cause a little trouble for the marines" Yoko said, rubbing the back of her head
"See that's a pirate. Plus we're all about sailing, we can definitely help achieve your dream. Together" Artemis said smiling big. Yoko looked at them
"Go with them Yoko"
Yoko looked back and saw Pac and the other shipwrights "Pac? Everyone?"
"Go with them" Pac said "I had a feeling you would be leaving soon. Plus I know it has to be hard to sail by yourself"
Yoko looked at them, than back Artemis and Axel
"Ah what the hell this could be fun" Yoko said with a smile
"Alright! You're joining my crew!" Artemis said jumping up and down. Axel and Yoko smiled at her.
Artemis sat on Hera on the deck of the ship
"Wow this is so cool Hera" Artemis said, as Hera hissed "A new ship and we have a new crew mate"
Axel walked up the ship while carrying a crate. "Alright, those shipwrights guys kind enough to lend us some supplies. And Yoko said she already has a Log Pose"
"Log Pose?" Artemis said
"Oh right you don't know, a Log Pose is a compass-like navigational device, due to the fact that some islands change, or completely hide, their magnetic fields at random, which may leave a crew stranded if they rely on a single Log Pose. To navigate safely through the New World, crews need to have a Log Pose with three needles. Each needle represents a different island, and the stability of the needle reflects the stability of the island's magnetic field." Axel explained
"Ooh so it tells us where to go" Artemis said
"Yeah basically" Axel said
"Wow so Yoko is a shipwright and navigator" Artemis said
"Maybe" Axel said
"Pac guys thanks for everything" Yoko
"Don't mention kid, I meant what I said too you may not dress inappropriately, but you're a talented shipwright, anyone who says otherwise can come see us" Pac said, the other shipwrights nodded
"Thanks guys" Yoko said, going up the ship
The preparations were ready and the ship sailed toward the sea
Here's the next chapter. I know what you guys are probably thinking, how can Artemis, Axel and Yoko defeat enemies like the Pacifistas, even with the powers Artemis has. Lets just say they got a little lucky. I had Yoko plan to be the shipwright and navigator from the start, just so I let you guys know. Tell me what you guys think.
