Hello Everyone back with another Chapter, And to answer Guests Question I do have a Backstory planned for My OC and it will be introduced later in the story, it'll explain where he got his inspiration to become an artist, and why he takes his art and other pieces of art very seriously and it heavily involves The World Government and there "Censorship" and what they did to his Father and GrandFather work.
Also speaking of "Censorship" Has anyone seen or heard of the 4kids dub of One Piece? :) OMG talk about Cringeworthy I couldn;t help but Laugh my ass off, Sanji sounds like A Dopey Black dude and he has a Lollipop besides a Ciggerate, WTF!? and not mention the unnecessary editing, if anyone would like a good laugh Check it out. Thank God for Funimation.
Oh and as for everyone's question NO, this is not going to be a romance story, this is simply an Adventure/friendship story. I think that the whole pairing thing has been done to death, and I am not really good at romances that much, so don't expect that in this story. Also Most of this Chapter will be In Crays Perspective so there will be some scenes that seem disjointed from each other.
As the straw Hats were making there way Towards Whiskey Peak, It suddenly started to snow, So much so that Cray, Ussop and Luffy decided to outwit each other to see who could make the best Snow Statue.
"PERFECT! all done...well look who dropped in it's Mr. Snowbarrel." Luffy said
"Ha you amature you call that Pathetic blob a snowman?" ussop said
"What?" Luffy said
"Behold A soulful inspired work of art The Snow Queen." ussop said presenting
"Oh Please. that's nothing compared to this." Cray said putting his finishing touches
Ussop turned and saw what cray built.
"I give you the "Snow King, Riding his Noble Steed, Sword in Hand With 4 of his men!...I wanted to make more but there was barely any space. " Cray said
Ussop was opened mouthed.
"Whoah thats cool, but can any your guy's snow Statues do this?" Luffy said while launching one of his snow mans sticks right into Ussops statue.
"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT FOR!?" Ussop said kicking Luffys snowman
"Hey you BIG JERK!" Luffy yelled
Luffy Grabbed the barrel he was using and threw it right at ussop only for him to duck and miss. The Barrel then hit straight at Crays Statues making them fall bowling pins.
"MY STATUES!" Cray yelled throwing The barrel straight at Luffys Face.
All three of them were now fighting in the snow blaming each other.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU IT"ll TAKE ME FOREVER TO MAKE ALL THAT AGAIN YOU SHIT!" Cray yelled
"it was ussops fault!" Luffy yelled
"YOU STARTED IT!" Ussop Yelled
Lightning then came out of nowhere in the middle of the snow storm, catching the three by Surprise.
"Lightning?" Cray said
Nami quickly rushed outside.
"EVERYONE MAKE A HARD TURN! 180 degrees hurry!" Nami yelled
"A 180? why do you want us to turn back?" Ussop said
"were sailing in the wrong Direction. I only took my eyes off the log pose for just a minute though." Nami said
"your not really a good navigator are you? you can't trust anything here, not the wind, sky, or waves, the only reliable thing is the Log Pose everyone now that." Miss Wednesday said
Nami then kicked Mr .9 and Wednesday outside.
"SHUT YOUR MOUTH AND DO SOMETHING USEFUL!" Nami yelled
"everyone Brace the yards, turn the ship at a 180 degrees to the left, Ussop handle the sails, Sanji take the helm, and Cray...QUIT DRAWING AND HELP USSOP!" nami yelled
Everyone was running around, trying to adjust the ship as the weather kept frequently changing. as Zoro was still sleeping on the Deck.
"THERES AN ICEBERG HEADING ARE WAY!" ussop yelled
"TURN THE SHIP!" Nami yelled.
Sanji was trying to turn the Rudder.
"Here let me help.' Cray said running in
"NOOO!" Sanji yelled at Cray shark-teethed kicking Cray out.
Sanji turned the Ship just in time but the ship managed to scrape on the ice boulder.
" Nami theirs water coming from the bottom of the merry" Luffy said
"Then go patch it." Nami said
"i got it." Ussop yelled running down the stairs with a hammer and wooden boards.
Leaving Cray to deal with the Sail.
"KEEP THE ROPE TIGHT CRAY!" Nami yelled
"I'm Trying!" cray yelled. Cray wasn't able to to keep his feet steady. Cray then planted both of his feet down tight.
"Iro Iro Gum." Cray said
The bottom of his shoes created a color glob substance underneath and was now stuck onto the Deck.
"There that should do it." Cray said
"CRAY I need you to move to the left!" Nami yelled running back out and in
"Got it!" Cray yelled frustratingly trying to move as best he could with his Sticky shoes.
(One Transition Later)
Everyone was laying on the deck exhausted after finally get out of the Storm. as Zoro was waking up from his nap. he then looked around seeing everyone.
"Come on, the weathers nice and all but that's no Reason to be lazy, we better be on the right track, that's all I can say." Zoro said
"shut up you bastard." ussop, nami and sanji and cray said in there heads.
Zoro then noticed Mr.9 and wednesday.
"Why are these two here?" Zoro said
"were on a side-mission to bring them back home to Whiskey Peak." Luffy said
Zoro then walked towards them both
"So tell me what were your names again, cause I don't think you two can be trusted." Zoro said
Both Mr 9 and Miss Wednesday became nervous
"I'm Mr. 9" Mr.9 said
"And I'm called miss Wednesday." Miss Wednesday said
"right.. you know those names sound familar and thats whats bothering me in fact the more I think about it the more I'm certain I heard them somewhere before Or maybe I-: before Zoro could say anything Nami hit him in the back of the head really hard.
"You Jerk you think you can just sleep while we do all the work your lucky we don;t toss your lazy ass overboard." Nami yelled contuisly punching him in the head until he had bumps.
"Listen up..that storm was just the beginning. i'm now seeing why this place is called the Grandline. my navigation skills are useless here anything can happen, but mark my words I will guide us through." Nami said
"Are you sure Nami?' ussop said
"Without a doubt were going to be fine and look were here." Nami said pointing out.
All of them look and sea Whiskey peak.
"So that's Whiskey Peak...What is up with those cactus's, there huge." Cray said
"Your not kidding those cactus's are humongous." Luffy said
"thank you all but I'm afraid we must be leaving." Mr.9 said
"It's been an interesting ride to say the least." Miss wednesday said
"Maybe we'll meet again someday." Mr 9 said
"BYE BYE BABY!" They both said
they jumped off the ship and swam away.
"That was quick exit." Nami said
"Well at least there gone now." Cray said
"I guess we'll never know what those nutjobs are up to." Ussop said
"Who cares, were landing." Luffy said
"we can reach the inland by using this waterway we should be good." Nami said
"Bu..but what if theirs monsters?" ussop said
"Yeah Monsters are a possiblity?" sanji said
" As long as we don't bump into anymore Sea Kings" Cray said
"It's fine, if there is any monsters we can just leave right?" Luffy said
"Thats not ture according to Crocus It''s important that we stay on this island for at least a while?" Nami said
"Why?" Luffy said
"the log pose needs a certain amount of time to record the islands magnetic field si until then we have to stayb put." Nami said
"And how long can that take?" Cray said
"I can't really say, the Log pose requires different amounts of time for each Island. It can take Hours maybe even days for the log pose to record." Nami said
"So lets say there is monsters here we'll be stuck here waiting, thats stupid whats the point in recording navigation coordinates if your dead." ussop said
"Were staying." Nami said
"Sometimes you got to take the risks." Cray said shrugging
"Lets not think about the monster until we have to." Luffy said
"Alright everyone, Get ready, and make sure to be prepared to run or fight." Nami said
(Namis Eye Catch)
"Will this Fog ever let up." cray said looking around
"Huh...Hey guys i see something moving over there." Luffy said
All of them looked and saw shadowy figures on the island
"Looks we got some some company." Zoro said with his hands on his swords.
Okay be on your guard everyone." nami said
"well I may have to fight monsters, but at least I came prepared." ussop said shaking in fear holding his slingshot.
" Lets hoping theres not to many of them." Cray said throwing his notebook into his BackPack perfectly.
As the fog Clears all of them are surprised to see that it wasn't monster but people cheering at them.
"WELCOME TO THE GRANDLINE!"
"WERE HAPPY TO HAVE YOU AT WHISKEY PEAK!"
"What? there not monsters there people." ussop said
"But why are they excited to see us?" Cray said dumbfounded.
"PIRATES ARE ALWAYS WELCOME IN OUR TOWN!"
"HOORAY FOR THE HEROES OF THE SEA!"
"OH WOW I'VE NEVER SEEN SO MANY CUTE GIRLS IN ONE PLACE!" Sanji said Heart eyed.
"I guess some folks, consider pirates as Heros, Man i should;ve came here ages ago." ussop said blowing out kisses.
As they landed, they were greeted by a man with a saxophone in his hand and huge Curls, with a weird coughing pattern.
"Welco-(Coughing) Ma-ma-ma-welcome my name is Igarappoi and it is my honor as mayor to welcome you to Whiskey Peak." Igarappoi said
"Oh great I'm Luffy nice to meet you...nice hair I like the curls." Luffy said
"You'll find that this is a place that thrives on making liqour and Music..Hospitality is a pride in our town.. would you permit us to throw a party i honor of your arrival so that we may hear(Coughing) Ma-ma-ma- your tells of advenutre." Igrappoi said
"WE'LL BE GLAD TO!" Luffy, Sanji, and Ussop said in unison
"idiots...anyway can you tell me how long it will take for this log pose to record this Islands Magnetic field?" Nami said to igarappoi .
"Oh such boring details will have to keep for now, surely you would like to rest after your long journey, now lets prepare to party, Everyone entertain our guest." Iggarappoi said to everyone
"Whats your take on this guy Cray?" Zoro said to Cray
"Beats me...but if there giving away free food and drinks, it would be rude not to accept it am I right?" Cray said smiling walking in.
The Party that the people threw them was lasting for hours, Ussop was telling more of his "Heroic" stories to anyone who would listen, Sanji was talking and flirting with every single women that was around, Luffy was to busy eating nearly cleaning out the entire towns food. Cray was seating with Nami and Zoro being presented with the towns special Drink
"here don't hold on my account, have a drink you three" Igarappoi said
"uh no thanks but I'm not drinking." Nami said
No to worry what you have there is a special kind of drink made out of the sweetest grapes, it contains all of the tastes of a fine wine, with zero Alcohol.
Nami tried it.
"WOW this is delicious!" nami said
"Your not kidding, a drink like this is a well work of art on its own. IT BRINGS A TEAR TO MY EYE!" Cray said about to cry.
"We had an excellent harvest this year. and to celebrate it..we holding a traditional toast contest, the rules are simple you toast and take a drink, the last one standing wins." Immapoia said
"you guys go on ahead i'd rather watch." Nami said
"did i mentione that theres a 100,000 beri reward for the winner?" igarappoi said
this changed Nami's mind immediately.
"FILL IT UP! come on Zoro join in, you need the money don't you?" Nami said
"Huh?" Zoro said
And you to Cray." Nami said
what why me?..I'll think i'll pass on that one?" cray said
"Whats the matter are you to scared that I might beat you." Nami said
" "scared" Oh please. I can out drink you just like that?" Cray said
"Wanna bet?" Nami said
"that I can beat you? Yeah it's a bet" Cray said holding his hand out
"okay" Nami said shaking his hand.
"Then let the Contest begin." Igarappoi said
(8 mugs Later)
"What the hell is up with this girl she can drink like theirs no tomorrow." Cray said to himself chugging down his eighth mug
Nami was already on her eleventh mug, and Zoro was on his tenth.
"More!" Nami yelled.
"dammit why did I agree to this stupid thing." Cray said picking up his ninth mug
"ready to call it quits." Nami said
"No way...I.. am... not...go.." Cray said falling back in his chair dropping the mug right in his face.
"HA!" Nami yelled out
Zoro was having a hard time to, and after his thirteenth mug he supposedly passed out.
"Oh come on your quitting already like Cray. Zoro you wuss." Nami said in a drunk state
"Only two left" Someone yelled
"my child forfeit for your own sake, theres no disgrace." the women dressed like a nun said
"Well I appreciate the concern sister but your not going to beat me that easily..HAHAHAHAHAHA" drunk Nami said
After two more drinks the sister called it quits.
"I WON...the prize money is mine." Nami said passing out
(sometime later)
"So this one is worth $7,000,000 beris sure doesn't look like someone worth that much." Bounty Hunter # 1 said looking down at Cray with the mug still in his face
"Yeah and there Captian is worth 30,000,000." bounty hunter # 2 said
" I'm actually surprised that a tacky Artist would have a bounty that Large and...WHERE DID THE SWORDSMEN GO!" BH #1 yelled pointing where Zoro was supposed to be passed out
"Quick we need to inform Mr. 8." BH# 1 yelled running outside with his partner.
(a few minutes later)
"...Bounty hunters huh...Tacky artist huh?" Cray said to himself through grit teeth.
"I'LL SHOW YOU WHO'S A TACKY ARTIST!" Cray said getting up in a kind of Drunking state
Cray was about to walk out the door.
"I'm going to give those guys a piece of my mind, nobody calls me a tacky artist." Cray said walking out the door.
As Cray went Outside and right in the open he saw six people aiming there guns right at him
"Don't move if you know whats good for you." One of the Man said
"So this is the $7,000,000 bounty?...this should be easy." another man said
"You know you shouldn't underestimate people...I know I shouldn;t have." Cray said trying to keep his mind straight after that Drink off.
"Oh yeah, well whats a Tacky Artist like yourself going do about it theirs six of us and only one of you?" the man said
"...Alright, i'll show you what I can do." cray said putting his hand in a revolver grabbing position
"Look at this guys, this kid is going to shoot us with his invisible gun." the man said laughing.
all six of them started to laugh.
"Iro iro... Revolver Rapid shot!" Cray yelled
Cray then quickly threw Six Punches straight at each persons face sending them five feet away, knocking them unconscious.
"And for the record, if your going to Criticize me, make sure that it's CONSTRUCTIVE!" Cray yelled
"I don't believe it, he took out six guys. so quickly" A bystander said
"first the swordsmen and now this guy...OPEN FIRE!" A man yelled
Now more guys were firing at him.
"SHIT!" Cray yelled running off
"DON'T LET HIM GET AWAY!" A man yelled
Cray cut a corner to only find three more guys.
"Dammit!" Cray yelled
FIRE!" anothe rman yelled
Cray Dodged into a nearby building, trying to Catch his Breath.
"How many of these bastards are there?" Cray said slamming a door into a mans face.
They then tried to force the door open.
"I got to get out of this room." cray said
suddenly the top of the roof collapsed and Cray saw some people falling rendering them unconcsious.
"Theres my exit." Cray jumping up.
as he got up on top of the roof he noticed Zoro.
"Hey Zoro. thanks for that hole you made in the roof." Cray said
"Cray what are you doing up... WATCH OUT!" Zoro yelled
Before he could react a large ladder came in contact with Crays face making Cray fall off the rooftop. zoro ducked just in time
"Okay that was to close...Cray are you alright!?" Zoro yelled looking down.
"I just got hit in the face by a damn Ladder what do you think!?" cray yelled getting up off the ground
Cray then looked in front of him and noticed more guys running at him.
"Shit!" Cray yelled running
Before Zoro could say something back Miss Monday grabbed Zoro by the Neck and lifted him up.
"You should be more concern about your self swordsman...It was good effort but no man can best my strength." Miss Monday putting some Brass Knuckles on.
" Now you die swordsman." Miss Monday said slamming into the ground putting some Brass Knuckles on
"NOW TASTE MY BRASS KNUCKLES!" Miss Monday yelled punching Zoro straight in the face. the force was so strong it cracked the whole roof.
"FIRE!"
Cray looked and then got shot in the shoulder, he quickly rolled away from the gunfire from the remaining bounty hunters that Zoro hasn't defeated yet. at least five more. Cray couldn't Fight them in a such a tight space so he ran out of the alley and out in the open
"you guys are really starting TO PISS ME OFF!" Cray yelled stopping
Iro Iro Whip!" cray yelled
Cray then produced a long strand of color from his hand and wrapped it around someone he then threw him back at the others crashing them into a wall.
Cray then calmed down to catch his breath
"I hope zoro's getting through this shit better then I am." cray said walking.
he then started to hear alot of gunfire and explosions.
"Aww maaaaan!" Cray yelled running towards it.
as Cray was getting closer, he started to hear some commosion. it was Iggarapoi firing his guns at a couple of agents
"YOU WILL NOT LAY A HAND UPON OUR PRINCESS, NOT WHILE THE CAPTAIN OF ALABASTA'S SECURITY STILL STANDS!" igaram/ Iggarapoi
Then suddenly an explosion hit Igaram,he then collapsed to the ground
"Igaram!" Miss Wednesday yelled
"CRAY!" Zoro yelled on top of roof.
"Oh hey Zoro." Cray said
"don;t just stand there get Luffy out of there!" Zoro yelled
"Huh?" cray said looking more closely, he saw Luffy still sleeping from all the food he ate.
"How is he still asleep?" Cray said to himself grabbing Luffy.
"Damn! he weighs a ton." Cray said
Zoro then jumped off the roof and helped Cray drag Luffy to safety.
"Well we had enough fun for one day, See ya." Zoro said running with Cray and luffy still asleep
"Are you okay?" cray said
"I'm fine." Zoro said
they then saw Mr.9 flying by and into the water.
"did you see that? that mans booger just blew up in that guys face." Cray said
"Don't remind me lets gather everyone and get the hell out of here." Zoro said
"you don't have to tell me twice." Cray said
suddenly Iggarepo grabbed a hold of Zoro's leg.
"Swordsman, Vandalizer, I both have a reasonable request, and I need help of people with strength and powers such as yours." Igaram said
"Your joking right?" Cray said
"Let go of me!" Zoro said
"Both of those villians possess devil fruit powers theirs nothing I can do to stop them, that's why I'm begging you two. please Princess vivi of Alabasta in my place. surely you'll both be rewarded for the escort, I'm just a humble servant but I'm begging you to do this." Igaram
"YOU AND YOUR PEOPLE TRIED TO FREAKING KILL US AND NOW YOU WANT US TO HELP YOU? GET STUFFED!? Cray said
"FORGET IT WHAT DO YOU THINK WE ARE FOOLS!?" Zoro said
"So about this reward...I'll take it how does a billion beris sound?" Nami said lo
cray and Zoro looked and noticed Nami on a roof of a building.
"Nami? when did you get here?" cray said
"I thought you were asleep." Zoro said
"give me some credit. who in there right mind would fall asleep in a town that welcomes pirates it was just an act." Nami said
"whatever." Zoro said
"Anyway why don;t you promise that 1 billion beris, because if we don;t agree she's probably going to die." nami said
"Im just a simple soldier, i can;t promise such a large reward
"surely your not suggesting, that your princess's life is worth less then that. Right?" Nami said
"I can't promise anything but if your willing to bring her to Alabasta, you need to negotiate the terms with her." Igaram said
Which mean I have to Save her first." nami said
"Please." Igaram said
Oh fine...ZORO, GO GET HER!" Nami yelled
"SCREW THAT NO, IF YOU WANNA MAKE MONEY FINE BUT DON'T DRAG ME INTO it, LET CRAY DO IT!" Zoro yelled
"WHAT!? SCREW YOU! I"M NOT DOING IT I'M BARELY HANGING ON AS IT IS!" Cray said
"don't be stubborn and stupid Zoro the contract can benefit all of us." Nami said
"Don't boss me around like that idiot Cook." Zoro said
"Are you just afraid that your going to get your asses kicked." Nami said
"You wanna say that again you greedy Brat?" Zoro said
"and besides you still owe me some money after Loguetwon remember?" Nami said
"What I don;t owe you anything
i gave you 100,000 beris to buy some swords." nami said
"but I gave you the money back, i got the swords for free so I didn't need your stinking money." zoro said
"But you promised to pay 300% interest, which means you owe me 300,000 beris" nami said
"Well thats pretty selfish. " Cray said
"BONK"
Cray had his face planted into the ground
"SHUT UP CRAY!...anyway you owe me Interest Zoro." Nami said
"But I gave you the Money back the same, you can't expect me to pay interest." Zoro said
"Yes I can..come on Zoro...can you at least keep one promise... just do as I say and I'll consider us even" Nami said
"someday your going to die a horrible death." Zoro said
"yeah, and I'm sure I'll go straight hell." Nami said
"damn woman." Zoro said running off
"Thanks Zoro." Nami said
"SHUT UP!" Zoro yelled.
"I got a personal question for you Nami? how come you didn't ask us both into doing this to." Cray said Laying on the ground
"The two of you working together we'll probably just make things worse, A billion Beri's are on the line and I don't want to risk it. So your staying here, got it." Nami said
"gee thanks for the vote of confidence Nami." Cray said
"Your welcome." Nami said sarcastincly
"I'm so ashamed, If I had been stronger I could've protected Princess Vivi like she Deserves." Igaram said
"i wouldn't worry to much about it he managed to beat almost a hundred of your "Friends" i'm sure he can take on these guys." cray said
"Crays right, he maybe stupid but he's really strong. She'll be fine" Nami said
" If anything would happen to her the kingdom of Alabasta would be done for, She must escape she has to." Igaram said
Both Nami and Cray had a concern look on there faces.
"So tell us what is this Baroque Works?" Cray said
