Episode 1: A pirate's offer! A new adventure awaits!

(Coyler's note: Woah! Another brand new fanfiction that also isn't based on Total Drama or Danganronpa? Holy shit I must be evolving with all this new stuff I'm tryna branch out too. One Piece is a series I've always had a soft spot for, especially the early stuff. It just felt so unique, and really had it's own identity when compared to the other shonen series, so of course I absolutely had to take a crack at writing a fanfiction about some of my favourite characters. Obviously this is my first time writing for One Piece, so fingers crossed I manage to do a passable job. Anyway enough with the jabbering. Coyler, out!)

Wealth, Fame, Power. Monkey D. Luffy, King of the Pirates had finally achieved it all, his discovery of the legendary treasure One Piece sent millions of men home from the sea as the treasure hunt for Gol D. Roger's fortune came to a close. However not all were spurred to return to land, as for one new group of pirates, now was the time to return to call of the sea. Luffy may be the Pirate King, but that doesn't mean he can't be overthrown, right?

The Dyed Goods Town! A place of quiet, calmness and solitude. Here is where most pirates would receive their official flags during the Great Age of Pirates thanks to the masters of drawing and art creation. Though the time of pirates and search for the One Piece has ended, the town still earns steady income thanks to it's high quality products. While many of it's citizens are elderly, young adults and children, one young man stands out as an upcoming successor to the old man dyer Shisuto. A former pirate who sailed the seas during the hunt for the One Piece, he was at the top of his game with a staggering 195,000,000 berries by commanding his own group and serving under Donquixote Doflamingo. His name you may ask? Bellamy the Hyena! At least, it used to be, he prefers to simply be know as Bellamy now. After his defeat in Dressrosa at the hand of Monkey D. Luffy, Bellamy would retire from piracy and head for the Dyed Goods Town to follow his dream of becoming an apprentice dyer, climbing the ranks as Shisuto's favourite over the many years. Though he had always thought about attempting piracy again someday, it is here in this town that Bellamy's desire to return to a life of action and success could finally become a reality once more.

Shisuto inhaled his long cigar as he felt the cool coastal breeze on his face while looking out of the window, "You have done well during these last five years Bellamy. Any normal man would have quit after two weeks, not being able to keep up with the craft...but not you. You have mastered all I can teach you, to become the World's Greatest Dyer!".

Bellamy sat cross legged on a chair with his arms folded, "Of course I would stick it out to the end, when I say my mind and heart is set on something then it means I see it through 'till the end, whether it's good or bad" he smirked.

"Very true indeed" replied Shisuto. He took another puff of his cigar, "Tell me, Bellamy. Why did you come here to learn our craft? I hear you were once a mighty pirate, yes?".

Bellamy sighed, "Y'know I'm still not sure why I chose to be a dyer of all things, I guess I just figured it would be a career that would bring me the least trouble. It was something I needed after my last fight".

"I see. What exactly was this 'last fight' that you speak of? In all this time myself and the other citizens of this village have tried to look into your past but found nothing besides one of your old wanted posters".

Bellamy grinned as a thought came into his mind, scratching his chin, "Five years ago at Dressrosa, my former boss Donquixote Doflamingo engaged in a conflict against the Strawhat Pirates and their captain Monkey D. Luffy, the very same Luffy who now reigns over all as King of the Pirates" he explained, "As one of Doflamingo's right hand men I was personally sent to defeat Luffy myself, a feat that I was willing to stick by until the end even if Doflamingo was an evil bastard. In the end, I got my ass handed to me by Luffy for the second time in my life with a single punch. When everything was done and dusted, I was offered a place in the Strawhat's leading men but turned down the offer to come here instead" he said with a serious yet passionate expression, "Heh...how the time flies".

Shisuto ran his fingers through his long white beard as he sat down in a chair, "I see, I see. So to become a dyer would mean to get away from a life of crime, yes?".

Bellamy nodded, "Ayup, I haven't left this island since I arrived, so chances are that my bounty is still active, if people still remembered me that is" he laughed.

"Hmph, maybe that's for the best. After all, I can't exactly hand over my business to you if the Navy came for your head" Shisuto chuckled, "I'm sure there's nothing that could stop you now" he smiled.

"PIRATES! THERE'S FISHMEN PIRATES HERE!" a voice screamed in fear from outside. Shisuto grumbled in annoyance and made old man noises, "What in tarnation is that damn fool talking about?" he grunted, as he stood up, "You stay here Bellamy, get to work on Ms Naruse's order pronto". Bellamy gave a small salute, "Yes Sir, right away!".

[Outside the Store]

"EVERYONE RUN! FISHMEN PIRATES! GET OUTTA HERE!" a young man wailed as a fishman carried him under the arm. "Pipe down wouldja? We definitely aren't here to hurt you! Because we don't kidnap islands anymore!" Hachi exclaimed with a smile, "Isn't that right boss?!".

Arlong sighed, "Yeah yeah yeah, we ain't here to kill no humans, we just wanna talk to someone" he grumbled. "Woah, it's been five whole minutes around a human and you haven't tried to kill him, that's gotta be a new record" snarked Chew. "Don't be a wiseass" Kuroobi snapped.

Arlong and the his gang approached the shop that Shisuto was standing outside of, glaring at the fishmen. Using one of his many arms, Hachi pulled a piece of paper from his pocket and looked between it and the shop building, "THIS IT BOSS! THIS IS THE PLACE!" he exclaimed, "DIDJA HEAR THAT ARLONG?! THIS IS IT RIGHT HERE!". Arlong rolled his eyes, "Yep I heard you the first time Hachi" he sighed.

"What's this about? What business do I have with men such as yourselves?" Shisuto spat as the four fishmen approached the shop and stood menacingly outside the entrance. "Nothing that should concern a weak human like you" Arlong replied, "Now move out of our way before I help you do so myself".

While most men would have moved before Arlong even had to ask, Shisuto wasn't like most men. He was an old, weathered soul who'd seen nearly all that the world had to offer him, from the highest rocky mountains to the deepest depths of the Grand Line. Never in his life had he done something he was told or didn't want to do, he marched to the beat of his own drum, even if his life was on the line he always stood his ground for the sake of his personal pride. He certainly wasn't going to start taking orders at the end of his life by a gang of walking talking sushi.

"Hmph, I'm the manager of this here establishment. If there's something dyed you want, be it flag or quilt, you talk to me and me only. You wanna go in there you best be placing an order first" Shisuto snapped.

Arlong saw red in his eyes at having a human talk back to him in such a manner. Thankfully his cohorts had noticed his, as they immediately grappled onto him and fed him a giant steak that Kuroobi pulled out his backpack. "Don't mind him, he's been told he can't kill humans anymore so he's a little cranky" Hachi explained, crouching down to Shisuto's level so he could whisper to him, "They all just got outta Impel Down last week with the help of one of our pirate allies who paid off their bail debts, my friend Jinbe told them they wouldn't be allowed back on our Fishman Islands if they killed anymore civilians".

"Ah...I see" mused Shisuto, as he watched Chew and Kuroobi wrestle and hold down the titanic sized sharkman to prevent him from going on a rampage. "He'll be calm in a minute! It just takes a second for the pills to kick in *chew*" Chew explained, "See he can't take them normally so we gotta hid 'em in steak, it's his favourite snack". "Jesus, he's like an animal" Shisuto grumbled as the fishmen raised their eyebrows.

The doors to the shop flew open as Bellamy stomped outside with an angry glare, "OI! WHAT'S WITH ALL THE FUCKING NOISE?! I NEED PEACE AND QUIET TO DRAW DAMNIT!" he yelled. Noticing out of the corner of his eyes and hearing his voice, Arlong suddenly calmed down and pointed with a toothy grin, "YOU THERE! YOU'RE THE ONE I CAME TO SEE!". Bellamy looked around and pointed a thumb at himself, "You talkin' to me Jaws? If it's a flag you want then I'm your guy". Arlong smirked, "You could say something like that". Bellamy turned and waved, "C'mon in and chat, we're just wasting time out here".

Arlong nodded and signalled for his men to follow him, walking past Shisuto and into the store. The man Hachi had been carrying walked over rubbing his head, "Mr Shisuto! What's going on?!". Shisuto placed his hands on his hips, "I don't know Krooks, and at this point I don't wanna know...care for a drink?".

[Shisuto's Dyed Goods Shop]

Bellamy walked over to his drawing stool and sat down, picking up his brush and stencils to continue working on a flag order. As he did this, Arlong slumped down in a large armchair while his comrades stood around him and looked around the store. The sharkman stroked his giant chin, "SO! You're the one they call 'Bellamy the Hyena' eh?". "CALLED. I'm the one people used to call Bellamy the Hyena...it's just Bellamy now, been like that for the last five years" Bellamy snapped.

"Really now? From what I heard you're a powerful pirate. Though it seems those words were talking about the past, not reflective on the present" said Arlong, "I'd hoped the stories I heard from Impel Down were true, since it's a powerful pirate with both resolve AND Devil Fruit ability that I need". Bellamy flinched at hearing this, "Tch...what's your deal, hmm? How do you know that I ate a Devil Fruit?".

"Word gets around fast, especially for someone who used to be called the 'Big-Time Rookie' pal" smirked Kuroobi. "Not just that, but you got a bounty higher than all of us put together!" added Hachi in amazement. "195,000,000 is nothing to scoff at" agreed Arlong, "Much more than I would've had even with me paying off the government to keep Arlong Park a secret". " 'Arlong Park'? Heh, what is that? An amusement park or a restaurant?" Bellamy laughed, "My bounty may be high but I gave up being a pirate years ago, it just ain't for me anymore". "Is that so? You wouldn't even budge for one last job?" Arlong asked, leaning forward in his seat and clasping his webbed fingers together.

"If it ain't something to do with dying cloth or putting away a good meal I ain't interested" replied Bellamy, still working on his flag. "Aw c'mon! Don't you wanna find the One Piece?!" Chew exclaimed. "The One Piece? Tch, have you been sleeping under the sea for the last decade? Gold Roger's treasure hunt is over, Monkey D. Luffy is now King of the Pirates and ended the age of exploration" explained Bellamy.

Arlong smacked his hands together, "EXACTLY. Now that the One Piece has been found, millions of men and pirate groups have thrown in the towel and returned home. With that Strawhat holding all the world's treasure and all the competition going away that leaves us with the perfect opportunity to kill that bastard, kill his crew and steal all their treasure so that WE can become the new Pirate Kings!" Arlong explained with triumph. "Nuh-uh, remember what we said Arlong, we're just gonna talk to him and get the treasure, because we don't kill humans anymore" said Hachi. Arlong face palmed, "Yeah yeah, my bad".

Bellamy chuckled, "That's your plan, eh? Not a bad one but...it's definitely flawed. There's no way the five of us would be able to reach Strawhat's base, and even if we did there's no way in hell we'd be able to beat him, let alone him AND his entire crew of over 10,000 pirates! Face it Shark Boy, you don't stand a chance even with my help. I know all about you and what you did to Cocoyasi Village in the East Blue, how you got stomped harder than I did in Mock Town".

Arlong scoffed, "10,000 humans are NOTHING against the mighty fishmen such as ourselves!" he boasted, as Hachi, Chew, Kuroobi and Arlong himself flexed their muscles. "Tough talk, considering that from what I heard, Luffy alone sent all four of you Impel Down with his bare hands" Bellamy replied. "Actually it was just them three, I ran away!" Hachi smiled. "Yeah, you ran like a coward and left the rest of us to be locked up for nearly a decade" snapped Kuroobi.

"Last time we battled Strawhat was a complete fluke! But this time things WILL be different!" Arlong declared, "We've gotten the experience and now know what they're capable of, we'll knock them all dead before they even realise what hit them! Besides, it won't just be the five of us, there's another a man who wishes to join forces with us to build a proper crew!". "Oh yeah? Who is it? Probably some nobody who's tryna get their feet off the ground" Bellamy snarked. Arlong grinned, "If you wanna meet him you'll have to come with us, he's set up base in Loguetown for the time being before we rendezvous to head into the Grand Line".

"It's a once in a lifetime opportunity Bellamy! We got nothing to lose! *chew*" exclaimed Chew, "We aren't some nobody chumps *chew* we ALL have major experience in piracy!". "With our time in the Sun Pirates and the Arlong Pirates, your experience leading your own crew as well as working for Doflamingo, and the added bonus of our potential ally, destroying those damned Strawhats once and for all will be a snap!" boasted Arlong.

"I must admit, you've peaked my interest" admitted Bellamy, "But...I just...don't know if I can join you. See me and Luffy got some history between us, parted ways on good terms as pals. It wouldn't be very manly of me to show up out of nowhere with a group of his former foes and attempt to kick his ass after all we went through together" he explained, "Put yourself in my shoes lads, if I came to you asking for help to overthrow Fisher Tiger, would you join me even if it would be an easy path to success?".

The fishmen were silent, knowing full well that the former pirate had a valid point. Arlong uncrossed his legs and stood up while looking Bellamy in the eye, "It saddens me that you would turn down my offer, but as a man to another I respect your choice, even if you are a human. We'll be here for another day or two before we cast off for Loguetown, if you change your mind then feel free to stop by our ship in the harbour". With that, the sharkman turned and began walking out of the store, "Come on fellas, we have no business here anymore".

As Arlong, Kuroobi and Chew skulked out of the shop, Hachi stepped over and crouched down to match Bellamy's level as the cloth dyer continued drawing. "I know it doesn't mean much from me, but I get it too!...I-I think? I helped out that Strawhat guy too! What was his name again? I feel like I saw him somewhere before?" he pondered, "OH YEAH! HE WAS UH...ARLONG PARK! No wait, that wasn't it, he beat us up there...hmm...OH YEAH! FISHMAN ISLAND! HE HELPED ME THERE!" he beamed.

"Luffy teamed up with ya but you still wanna go bust him up and steal everything he owns? Doesn't sound right at all" replied Bellamy, "I'll say it again; I appreciate the offer, really I do, it's been years since somebody wanted me for muscle, but I just don't think I can bring myself to do it" he sighed. Hachi lowered his head, "Okay, if you say so...b-but please think about it before we go! I know my buddy Arlong would suuuuuuuper love your help!" he exclaimed with determination, "Our other friends in Loguetown told us they know we can win! So that's why we want you as extra backup!".

Bellamy spun on his stool to face Hachi, "If you really want me to go, I think you should tell me who this 'friend' in Loguetown is. No way would I go all the way out there with some fishmen I don't even personally know to meet some stranger". Hachi folded all of his arms, "Good point, good point, good point. I don't remember his name, but he's the leader of a BIIIIIG pirate group, a-and he has a Devil Fruit power too! I also heard he's still one of the Four Legendary Yonko Emperor Guys!" he exclaimed with excitement.

"Huh, an emperor eh? That ain't a nobody, that's a man who's one of the most powerful pirates in the world! To get a status like that, this guy must have a massive crew and be loaded with cash! The guy claims he's even got a Devil Fruit ability too...hmm." Bellamy thought to himself, as he watched Hachi walk away, "Hey, Octopus...you say you'll be leaving in a few days? If that's the case...I'll come to you tomorrow with my decision".

Hachi's eyes lit up, "WOAH! YOU MEAN YOU WANNA THINK ABOUT IT?! YOU REALLY REALLY MEAN IT?" he beamed. Bellamy laughed, "I'll consider your offer, tell your boss Arlong to hang on until tomorrow and he'll get his answer". Hachi used all of his arms to give Bellamy a fishman hug of manliness, before letting him go and running out of the shop. "ARLONG! ARLONG! HE SAID HE WANTS TO THINK ABOUT IT TOMORROW I THINK!" he called out. Bellamy smirked and laughed to himself, "Hmph, who would've guessed that this would happen".

"That's it 'ah? I'm about to hand over my business to you and you decide to go gallivanting off with a bunch of sushi?!" Shisuto snapped, bursting through the door and slamming it shut, "So much for all your big talk about not wantin' to betray your Strawhat pal".

Bellamy jumped and fell off his stool, shaking his head as he picked himself up and dusted off his clothes, "Relax Mr Shisuto, it's just something I'm thinking about, that's all. Besides, I don't plan to turn my back on Luffy at all" he explained, "I may or may not have a plan". Shisuto scoffed, "Hmph, whatever it is it can wait, take this order and take it to Mrs Bukes on the other side of the island pronto!" he barked as he pointed a small box on the table. Bellamy nodded, "Yes Sir, right away" he said as he put on his jacket and picked up the package, "I'll be back in about twenty or thirty minutes".

Shisuto watched as Bellamy walked outside the front of the shop, crouching down as his legs turned into steel springs before he launched away. He shook his head, "Ah I just had to open my big mouth that everything would be fine" he sighed.

"Morning' Bellamy!" a man smiled. "Hey Bellamy, looking good!" a woman called out, giving him a wink. "Heard from Krooks that some fishmen stopped by to see you Bellamy! What's happenin'?" asked another resident. Bellamy didn't properly respond, he just smiled, nodded and laughed as he bounced around the town. This was a common site across the island, with the locals loving his Spring-Spring Fruit powers from the second he used them to make his first delivery. As he richoched off walls and leaped off of trees, he eventually reached the small cottage on the other side of the island. Coming to a stop, he walked up to the home and knocked on the door where a kind old woman opened the door.

"Ah! Bellamy! How nice of you to drop by!" she smiled. Bellamy pulled out the package from his coat pocket, "Here you Mrs Bukes, special quilt delivery fresh off the press" he said as he handed her the box.

"Wonderful! You and old Shisuto really do make a great team, I only just ordered this yesterday! Why don't you come in for tea? The kettle is just boiled!" Mrs Bukes smiled, pulling him inside before he could even respond. Sitting down at the small table near a window that overlooked the coast, Mrs Bukes poured two steaming cups and sat down with him.

"You're a good lad, you know that? Not many men around that are like you" she said, sipping her tea. Bellamy chuckled, "You're too kind, too kind indeed".

"I hear Shisuto wants you take over his business? Very impressive indeed, looks like your years of labour will finally pay off" she mused.

Bellamy blew his tea to avoid burning his tongue, "That was the plan but...something just came up that has me torn...a huge payday". Mrs Bukes raised an eyebrow, "I hope it's not something to do with...piracy, is it?". Bellamy gulped, "U-Uhhhhhhh...w-well you know...maybe".

Mrs Bukes sighed and shook her head, "I thought you left that business behind when you came here". "Don't get me wrong, I did, but a once in a lifetime offer to take out the current King of the Pirates just came my way...from Arlong the Sawtooth" Bellamy explained, a serious tone in his voice and expression on his face.

Mrs Bukes gasped, "Arlong? That fishman who held an island hostage in the East Blue for a decade a few years ago? From what I heard he's locked up in Impel Down!".

"Yep, that's the guy" said Bellamy, leaning back in his chair, "I'm not sure how he got, but I suppose the how doesn't really matter. What does matter is that Arlong and his boys came to me specifically because they want me to join them in sailing for the Grand Line to dethrown Monkey D. Luffy and become the new Pirate Kings" he explained. Bellamy sighed deeply, "Mrs Bukes, you're full of wisdom, right? What do you think I should do? On one hand, it would be dishonest to return to a life of crime and to go after my friend's head. But on the other hand, there's a part of me deep within that's always longed for a life on the sea, of action and success! With the cash I pull in I could put every last berry into this island and it's dying businesses!" he exclaimed.

Mrs Bukes closed her eyes and folded her arms, "Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...follow your heart. Yes, that's it. Do what you believe is the right thing to do. If there's a way for you to peacefull earn money through piracy that you wish to put towards the good of the people on this island, then I say go for it" she nodded with a sweet smile.

Bellamy took this information and opinion in. Finishing his tea, he turned his cup over in the sink and put on his jacket while heading for the door, "Thanks Mrs Bukes, enjoy your quilt". Mrs Bukes chuckled, "No problem Bellamy, take care of yourself".

[Town Harbour]

Night fell over the town, the water was calm and still as the bright stars reflected off of it's pitch black surface. Moored to the dock, a pirate ship sat tied up and awaiting departure. This ship, the 'Sawtooth', was the current ship being used by the Arlong Pirates. The orange lights were the only things to shine through the windows as the fishmen shadows were projected outwards.

"You think the kid will decide to join us?" asked Kuroobi, as he cracked open a bottle of apple cider. Arlong shrugged, "Who knows? It would be a shame if he didn't, but I believe that we can still best the Strawhats without him. It'll just take a bit more effort without the aid of his Devil Fruit, I hear he can turn himself into powerful springs that can move faster than the eye can react! It's definitely something we could use to our advantage".

The door to Arlong's quarters were flung open as Hachi marched in with a steaming tray of takoyakis. "C'mon guys! Get 'em while it's hot and stuff!" Hachi beamed. Chew rubbed his hands together, "About time, I'm starvin' *chew*". Arlong grinned, "Sometimes I wonder what we'd do for food without with expertise Hachi, truly you embody the truest form of fishman superiority of the culinary arts!". Hachi was happy to hear this, "Aw you! Thanks a bundle Arlong!".

A loud bang was suddenly heard from outside of the captain's quarters, catching the four fishmen off guard. "What the hell was that?" Kuroobi snapped, as he and the others walked over to the window overlooking the main deck. In the darkness, they could make out a figure standing on the end of giant figure repliece of Arlong's nose at the bow of the ship.

"ARLONG!" a voice bellowed, "IF IT'S A PIRATE THAT YOU WANT, THEN IT'S A PIRATE YOU'LL GET!".

Running out of the door onto the deck, Arlong and his gang realised that the figure on the nose was Bellamy, wearing a faded blue jacket that he used to wear when he sailed with the Bellamy Pirates. Bellamy made eye contact with Arlong, smirking a determined smile, "KNOW THIS! WHILE I PLEDGE MY LOYALTY TO NOT KILL LUFFY OR HIS MEN, I DECLARE WE WILL STEAL HIS TREASURE OF THE ONE PIECE AND BECOME THE KINGS OF THE PIRATES TOGETHER!".

Arlong put his giant hands at his sides, "Heh, looks like he made the right choice after all". Bouncing forward and landing in front of him, Bellamy extended a hand. Taking it, Arlong shook it firmly. "Congratulations sharkman, you got yourself a partner" Bellamy grinned. "Excellent!" Arlong cheered, "We'll set sail tomorrow morning with the tide! Tonight we drink to honour our new ally!" he announced, as the five men went into the captain's cabin to begin a night of celebration and drinking.

The next morning the sun shone brightly and the tide was high. Having told Shisuto the previous night before meeting with the fishmen, all of the Dyed Town's residents stood on the dock as Bellamy walked out of Shisuto's store to the ship. The fishment were setting about their final preparations as they loaded cargo of food and other necessitites onto the ship.

Noticing him at the furthest end of the dock, Bellamy approached the old man. "You're a damn idiot, you know that?" Shisuto snapped, pointing at his apprentice. Bellamy put up his hands, "Relax, take it easy, it's not like I'm gonna be gone forever!". Bellamy got closer, placing a hand on his shoulder, "I'm not just doing this for me to help my thirst for adventure. I'm gonna get mega rich and bring back enough berries to make EVERYONE in a town a multibillionaire! Mark my words old man! Keep the shop going strong with those senior skills" he smirked, "I'll be back for it one day". Shisuto grunted a satisfied old man noise, "You better be back, if you end up forgetting about us all then mark my words, I'll find you wherever you end up and wring your springs out!" he laughed.

With that, the two men embraced each other in a manly hug. "Take care kid, come back to me in one piece alright?". "Heh, that's a promise old man" Bellamy replied, patting him on the back. Transforming his legs into springs, Bellamy leapt into the air and landed firmly on the deck as Chew pulled up the gangway and Kuroobi manned the helm. "ALRIGHT MEN! WE'RE OFF! SET SAIL FOR LOGUETOWN!" Arlong barked with a mighty roar of eagerness.

"SO LONG BELLAMY!/TAKE CARE!/WATCH YOURSELF OUT THERE!/COME BACK TO US ONE DAY!/NEVER FORGET US!" the crowd called out as the Sawtooth sailed further and further away from land. Bellamy waved until he couldn't see the island anymore as it vanished over the horizon. It was his first time at sea in five years, as he felt the relaxing ocean breeze in his face, the wind in his air and the fresh salty smell fill his nose. He leaned against the railings as he looked out to sea, as Arlong trodded over and joined him, leaning on a piece of railing next to him.

"You got me out here" said Bellay, looking at the sharkman, "I know what the main goal is and where we gotta go to start off this mission. Now, if it's the right time to know, I wanna know who it is we're going to see. Hachi told me most of the important stuff...I think?". "YEAH I DID!" Hachi beamed from the helm. "Hmph, if you insist" sighed Arlong, as he inhaled the fresh sea air, "The man we're going to see is the captain of a massive pirate army, has a powerful Devil Fruit ability, is currently one of the Four Mighty Emperors of the Sea AND on top of it all trained directly under the previous Pirate King, Gold Roger himself". Bellamy nodded, "I know that much already. What's his name?".

"His name? Heh!" began Arlong, "The name of our comrade who will join us on our journey...IS BUGGY THE CLOWN!".

{TO BE CONTINUED}

(Coyler's note: Yussir, this is certainly the dawn of the new age of pirates! While this chapter may have been a little or a little fast, I think I did a decent job at getting the ball rolling for the adventures that Bellamy, Arlong and soon Buggy will have together. As always I hope you all enjoyed, I'd really appreciate you guys to follow, favourite and review, after all I can only improve through the power of feedback! Until next time! Coyler, out!)
