Time on the Sea
Chapter six:
I stand in front of the marine group, Captain Morgan stands behind them. The Marines are at a standstill, shaking in their pants with fear. "Sir… the bullets won't work! They are too strong for us!" one marine says, pointing to Zoro, me and Luffy.
"Cowards! All those who agree, are to shoot themselves right now!" Morgan yells at the group, they stand there in shock at their captain. "That's an order!"
Surprisingly some of the men do as ordered, dropping dead on the dirt. What the hell? Crazy Captain much. I raise an eyebrow.
"The rest of you, use your swords if guns don't work!"
The marines grab their swords and rush towards me. One man goes for a chop at my head, while another goes for my middle so I step back, letting the swords swipe uselessly and step forward away, letting them imagine they swiped through me.
"Ha-ha not gonna work on my either!" I wink and run around the group, wearing out a circle in the dirt. The marines start freaking out; I circle around, and close in around them, taking out a few on the outer rim of the group and then rip through the group diagonally kicking a couple of them in their special place from behind when they get in the way, "Hahaha!" I laugh as one by one they fall because they weren't expecting the low blows my speed making me invisible. The rest of them are frozen in shock, so I stop in front of an unsuspecting tall man, causing him to scream in fright, and I rush a punch in his stomach, at the speed of a car. He spits blood on my clothes "Ugh! I got blood on my tank top!" I jump back from him, he falls. I look behind me quickly at Luffy trying to undo Zoros ropes, but failing. I sigh, turning my back on the marines, and run, stopping behind Luffy "Just use his swords…"
Luffy looks up at me, "Oh…. right!" he smiles and pulling out a blade.
The marines are quiet behind me, until I hear a gun shot, and a pained scream. I turn to see Koby, holding his arm, blood seeping through his fingers "Stupid!" I yell at him, pulling his hand away to get a good look at the wound "you're lucky, it's only a scratch, but still stupid, so why did you take it?" He ran in front of the bullet, I guess he was trying to get over the wall the whole time.
Koby stares at me, with tears in his eyes, "How was I supposed to know that? And I didn't want anyone to be killed!"
"Baka" I turn from him, glaring at the marines "who was it that fired?"
One man from the front of the group begins sweating a lot and looks very nervous, I sprint at him, punching him straight in the face, breaking his nose, and send him flying back in the span of a second, knocks a couple others down as well.
The marines back up from me, all of them looking nervously to Morgan,
"What do you think you are doing? Charge!" he orders "I the great Morgan, cannot be brought down, by feeble underlings!"
They charge, swords up high, ready to deliver a blow.
Then Zoro is finally free from the binds, with his three swords out he blocks all the marines, causing them to be stopped in their tracks, and he whispers "Don't move, or I'll kill you"
OMG I think those marines just peed their pants! Hahaha! I crack up laughing, and falling on to ground beside Luffy.
Zoro turns his head "I guess I'm officially an outlaw now that I have attacked the Marines. So I'll join you. Captain"
I step back after my fit, allowing Luffy to take on Morgan, and Zoro the rest of the soldiers, Morgan got beat in about 10 minutes, the remaining soldiers, cheering with his defeat. So we left him in the marine custody, and headed to have some lunch.
"So, Luffy, you got your first mate, who's next?" I ask just for fun after finishing my soup, and taking a banana from the table.
"foure my birst fatbe" Luffy says through a mouthful of food (meat)
"Swallow! I don't know what you're saying!" I yell at him, smacking his back
"You're my first mate Melody" he says taking another bite of food afterwards.
"No, we talked this over already, I'm not that good at leading, I'll write down our adventures and stuff like that, Zoro is a better first mate choice" I point to the ex-pirate hunter, then tap my head "I know it"
Luffy, nods with a puppy dog face, understanding but not happy about it. "Good" I smile, and Luffy keeps stuffing his face.
"How can he eat so much? I haven't eaten in almost a month and he has eaten twice as much, you as well" Zoro places his mug down.
"We're special" is my answer and Koby nods along with me, having been around our appetite.
Then some marines walk into the restaurant, and stop in front of our table. "We heard a rumor that you are pirates, is this true?"
"Ya, we're pirates" Luffy says though swallows of food
"We thank you for ridding us of Morgan's rule, but since we are Marines and you pirates we have to ask you to leave this island. We will not report you to headquarters as thanks"
Some thanks, but it's the Marine rule... I shrug, looking at Luffy, who nods, Zoro stays silent
"Alright, let's go, off to the grand line!" we get up from the table, Koby stays seated as we head to the door, "Aren't you going with them?" asks the marine
"…N-no…" Koby stutters, we stop in the door way, and Luffy walks back to Koby' side
"Hahaha should I tell you something interesting? " Luffy says, turning to face the marine and Koby "This guy, for the last two years has been serving for really fat, evil pi-" Luffy's cut off by a punch in the face from Koby, Luffy reals back and pounds his fist into Koby's face over and over again. Zoro caught on to Luffy's ploy and grabs the back of his vest "That's enough, you made your point"
"It's clear that you are not friends so just leave this island!" the marine points out the door and the three of us take our leave.
Once at the docks getting our boat together, Zoro asks "Don't you think you were too hard on the boy?"
"Sheeheehee, nope it's all good"
"Yeah, and we'll be seeing him again in the future, as a marine" I say, taking a seat on the boat floor.
"And how do you that?" Zoro asks looking down at me, blocking the sun from my face
"He's got a strong will, he'll do it" I smile.
"LUFFY!" We turn to see Koby on the docks, the marines lined up behind him "Thank you!" he holds his hand in solute, and Luffy pushes us off into the water.
"Never see that before, a Marine saluting a pirate" Zoro says
"Hahaha, yeah that's for sure"
"All hands Salute!"
All the remaining marines join Koby in solute as we sail off.
"I'm Hungry!" Luffy wines
I sigh, and punch him in the head, "go fishing or something, we've only been on the sea for 3 days, so it should be soon we come up to an island. But how did you ever get around Zoro you have the worst sense of direction ever!" I laugh
"Shut up woman! I always got where I wanted some way or another" Zoro grumbles
Heehee Zoro, you will never have a sense of direction!
"Look, Mel! There's a bird!" I hear Luffy yell from the front of the boat "Let's eat it!". Looking up I see a giant bird flying above the boat. Oh no.
"Luffy don't you dar-"
"GUMU-GUMU NO, ROCKET!" Luffy blasts off towards the bird,
"I'm stuck!" I hear him yell seconds later, the bird has grabbed him by his head and is flying off.
"Damn it Luffy!" Zoro and I yell. Zoro grabs the paddles, and starts furiously rowing in the direction of the flying bird.
"Row! Row! Row!" I yell in his ear with every stroke, I have always wanted to yell that.
"Shut up stupid woman and help me or we're gonna lose him" He growls, keeping his eyes on the bird and Luffy, Luffy's yells becoming more and more distant.
"Help!"
"Help us!"
"Stop!" Three voices yell.
Stopping from my 'Row' chant I spot three guys floating in the water, what looks like a boat wreak around them.
"Oh men over bored…." I point at them
"We can't stop! You're going to have to jump in!" Zoro yells to them.
The three pirates make it on board dripping wet and panting, two of them on their backs and the other on his knees
"You actually got on?" Zoro says
"You trying to kill us?"they yell together
I bend down to my knees to face the closest one, now at eye level "You three are very weird" I decide "Don't you think Zoro?" I turn to face him, leaving my back unguarded. One of the guys grabs my arm pulling me into his chest and lifting a sword to my throat. "Hey, stop this boat! We are part of the Buggy Pirates. Stop it now, or this pretty little lady's gonna get it"
Sighing, I shake my head
"Huh?" Zoro gives them his demon glare. The men freeze, and I easily slip out of his hold. Zoro and I give the three a good pummeling, and then make them row the boat.
"We're Sorry" the Pirate who drew the sword on me pleads, his face swollen "We didn't know you where the great Pirate hunter Zoro-San"
"Please forgive us!" all three of them beg
"Because of you we lost sight of our friend. Anyways, just keep rowing ahead!"
"Row! Row! Row!" I begin. Cause the pirates to tense up with each word.
"Hai! Mistress!"
"Wahahahaha" that's it! Row! Zoro looks a bit scared at my evil laugh, eyeing me carefully.
Ten minutes go by fast, and before I knew it an island appears before us. Zoro docks the boat at a town, and we leave the three idiots.
The place, is deserted, not a soul in sight, some of the buildings were even destroyed. "Come on, let's find Luffy, and get out of here"
Suddenly, we hear a cannon fire, and a whole string of buildings to our left get destroyed,
"I found a path to Luffy!" I yell pointing down the destroyed path smiling like a maniac. Zoro just shakes his head "Whatever"
He starts running down the path, I slow down to match his pace, and keep him on track,
We stop in front of a large building, a tavern by the looks of it. The sun shines in my eyes, "Wow" I comment lifting a hand to shade my eyes. I watch as Zoro starts climbing "Really! We have to climb it?"
"Stop complaining and climb!" He yells, having already made it up a quarter of the way. I pout and run back a few feet, and charge at the building and scale the wall easily as Zoro pulls himself on to the roof, I land beside him after doing a flip.
"Show off" he mutters,
There is a pirate crew, partying about, Luffy is tied up in the cage freaking out about the cannon aimed at him; a girl wearing an orange skirt and a blue and white shirt is holding a staff, her short orange hair blowing in the slight breeze an unconscious pirate at her feet. Some pirates charge at her no one has noticed out presence yet; I nudge Zoro 'do something!'
'What?'
'I donno anything!'
Zoro sighs, that silent conversation was kinda weird; suddenly he was in front of Nami, two of his three sheathed sword, imbedded in the faces of the attackers. "Zoro!" exclaims Luffy
I run to Luffy's side
"Hello Captain, what did you get yourself into?" Zoro smirks.
"Thank goodness you found me! Get me out of this thing quick! Hey Mel"
"You, is this your idea of fun…?" Zoro addresses Luffy sternly "You get caught by a bird and got carried away and now when we finally found you, you're in a cage? You Stupid" Zoro rests one of his swords on his shoulder
"Hello Luffy" I smile brightly
"The pirate hunter Zoro? Why the hell is he talking with a thief?" One of the pirates comment. Another says "the famous demon hunter, Zoro?"
Ignoring the lesser pirates I spy a clown siting in a captain's chair. He has a huge brown captain's coat hanging on his shoulders, with a matching brown hat that has a clown pirate symbol on it, a big red nose sticks out on his face and his hair is bright blue, and ugly 5 o'clock shadow covers his chin. He has a tattoo of crossed bones on his forehead and clown makeup covers his face. "You're definitely Zoro, are you aiming for my head?" he gets up and begins to slowly walk towards Zoro, his eyes hidden in the shadow of his hat.
"No, I'm no longer a pirate hunter, because I quit…" Zoro replies when Buggy stops across from him, and draws a bunch of daggers from his coat, holding them between his fingers, twirling them randomly.
"But I have interest; if I kill you my name will become more famous"
"If you don't wanna die, leave me alone" Zoro threatens, but the man attacks; Zoro is faster and cuts Buggy's right arm and leg off, including slicing him in half, leaving him to fall on the ground seemingly dead.
"He died really easily…" comments Zoro; I run behind the fallen clown, giving me a good view of his back and arms. One of the crew laughs, but Zoro brushes it off, and puts his swords away.
"Hey, Zoro! Hurry and get me out of this stinkin cage"
"Hai, hai" Zoro walks up to the cage, banging on the top of it "This thing won't open without a key, and these iron bars won't slice… what are you doing Melody?" asks Zoro without turning around,
All the clown pirates burst out laughing; I look up from the pirate captain's unmoving bodyto see his hand floating close to Zoro, a dagger raised to stab. No you don't you crazy ass clown! At the same time Zoro asks "What's so funny? Give us the Key or fight me!" I pull back my foot, and place the quickest kick I could at Buggy's manhood, causing his hand to return to his body to hold the hurt, and he yells "ARRRGHHH!" Buggy turns onto his back, his body back together again and his face distorted in pain, sweat appearing on his brow. A big smile erupts on my face and holding a peace sign towards the girl, Zoro and Luffy "Now that, is how to kick a clown's ass! With a kick at the speed of a rushing car!"
"Melody!" Luffy and Zoro yell, they are both holding their little men, in hurt. "Oh~!"
"Mel, that's his manhood" Luffy says through his cage
I shrug "Big nose here was getting on my nerves, and he was about to stab Zoro"
"Oh~ ok, and did you see his nose? It's so huge and red~!" Luffy giggles
Luffy and I break out in laughter, then Buggy wines behind me "y-you, dirty little b-bitch! You're gonna pay for that~!"
"Try it! Ahahahaha!" I laugh evilly.
I then realize that the girl's name is Nami, "oh, I remember, Nami, right?"
She nods, silently
"Cool, now Let's Go!" I charge towards the cannon, and light it with the matches left over from the last shot. "Hey Zoro!" I smile, wiggling my eye brows a bit; he nods and pushes the cannon over to face the pirates.
I pick up Nami, and run to the side of the building, Zoro behind me with Luffy in the cage "Bye, bye" my smile turning into an evil grin "May we never meet again" and we jump, hearing the cannon fire behind us. I laugh the entire way down, while Nami screams.
