Hello~ Decided to have 2 new OCs in One Piece that are based on the Game Grumps on YT! Wanted to add more female characters into the strawhat crew and just thought of Danny and Arin! My OCs will be different from the actual people because 1: I don't actually know the dudes personally so I'm not 100% sure how they would react to specific circumstances and 2: I'm more using their personalities as a base to build on for the OCs rather than try to clone them. Gonna try to update as much as I can but updates may be slow, apologies! And NO I do NOT own ANY artwork used in the cover art!
Rain pelts from the gloomy night sky, lightning flashing briefly to reveal the only victim of the weather being a crumbled old fort that is miraculously unflooded despite the heavy pour that seeps through every crevice and crack in its wake.
Two people remain huddled within what remains of the fort's interior, barely able to shield themselves from being soaked to the bone by sitting on a flight of a horribly withered stairway; both people, upon closer inspection, are two young women looking to be in their mid to late 20's both wearing torn rags that are barely able to cover themselves properly.
The shorter of the two, whose greasy brown hair (with a light blonde streak) covers the majority of her face, moves her head towards the taller of the pair of them. "Why did you help me?" she inquired as her voice resounded with a mixed tone of confusion and curiosity. The other–after momentarily pausing in her attempts to remove what seemed to be twigs from her own dark long, yet shaggy, hair–simply shrugged, "Because that's what anyone would've done. Besides, with how things were going…." she paused, looking away toward the opposite wall as she contemplated on how to answer.
"...Well, it was best to get out of there as soon as possible." silence followed after her words, nothing but the rain making any semblance of sound as they sat.
. . .
Shifting her eyes around, the brunette looked toward the entryway of the fort as she stared outside. "So…uhhh…" she started–occasionally rubbing her arms as she thought of something to say, "I know things were a bit hectic for a while there, but…"
As if knowing what she was trying to do, the taller woman smiled brightly before reaching out to the other person for a handshake. "Hey, I'm Danielle, but everyone just calls me Dani. Nice to meet you…?" removing one of her hands from attempting to warm herself up, the brunette placed her slightly shivering hand into Dani's as she responded. "Arynn. My name is Arynn."
From then on, the two women would never imagine their lives without each other, as they soon became sisters not of blood–but bond.
Present Day
A storm, reminiscent of the same one from 12 years prior, thundered ferociously as it shook the ocean filled with five large light blue ships formed in a pyramid that each had the words "Marine" painted on their sides. Despite the horrendous weather, the ships remained in one place with all of their sails lifted as their anchors did their jobs of ensuring none of them would drift away–or worse.
Moments passed as nothing of note changed, all vessels were perfectly accounted for, all were in position, all were ready to continue their journey as soon as the storm ended…
*CRASH* "AHHHH!"
A shatter, followed by a shriek disturbed the already dubious silence, the source seeming to come from the main ship at the very point of the pyramid of Marine vessels as the inhabitants seem to be swarming rapidly around it in an attempt to prevent whatever the disturbance could be happening. Bells ring out as a feminine voice broke through the sounds of the harsh winds;
"YOU WANT TO FIGHT ME AGAIN?! HUH?! BRING ME MORE OF YOU F****CKERS IF YOU GODDAMN DARE!" *BAM* *SMASH*
The doors leading into the hull of the ship burst open, a group of Marines being tossed onto the heavily soaked deck, as the one responsible for their newfound body pile of unconscious men, stomps through the entryway to reveal the brunette woman–Arynn–from before. Only, unlike her younger self that was shown before, her hair now reached to just above her shoulders with a streak of blonde shining through it as it is all held back by a sash that acts as a headband to reveal her chocolate brown eyes that glare at the men she had beaten down. Pink guns in each of her hands, she aimed them towards the newly formed crowd of Marines that appeared by the commotion she had caused, "WELL?! THAT'S FIFTEEN MORE TO THE BODY COUNT! WANNA MAKE IT THIRTY?! WHAT? DON'T THINK I CAN DO THIS ALL DAY?! GUESS WE'LL MAKE IT FIFTY!" she shouts ferociously with her weapons sparking with electricity.
While Arynn stood her ground, behind her were two more people; a much cleaner, familiar face of Dani, who was holding a little girl with blonde hair with charcoal black eyes against herself protectively.
Seeing Arynn distracting the men, Dani gripped the girl a bit more firmly before racing across the deck at a speedy pace; causing the girl to close her eyes and hold her necklace tightly as she went towards a spare rowboat that lay upon the deck of the vessel.
"LOOK! SHE HAS THE KID!" Shouted one of the Marines nearby the boat, noticing the rapidly approaching woman. Gun cocked, the officer aimed his gun to the woman's legs before firing a multitude of bullets at her, leading the group to take out their own ranged weaponry in unison to also attempt to cripple her progress. Dani scowled before leaping out of the way of the barrage with ease, as if knowing where they would aim next, much to the ire of the officers.
Meanwhile Arynn reloaded her guns as she aimed; "RUBY BULLET!" she exclaimed before firing her own ammunition at the officers that continued in their attempts to detain her, only to be shot and blown away by the sparking red bullets that pelt them relentlessly.
Surprisingly, some officers shot by the bullets are abruptly breaking their weapons in rage before screaming and beating up anything with their fists out of anger; their comrades included. Causing mass confusion and chaos as a result, those that were unaffected by the surprising change in temperament from the bullets were merely blown away–only their uniforms were singed in various places whilst their weapons were heated up so badly that they melted in their own hands.
"W-What is this? What the hell is she firing?!" The captain of the vessel thought to himself, shaking in terror at the sight of his men dwindling rapidly by the rampage of Arynn (and even some of his own men) as not too far from the scene he could also witness Dani's expert evasive movements.
One of his men then ran to his side as he brought with him a Transponder Snail, "Captain! I-It's the C-Commodore–one of the secondary ships reported a disturbance…a-a-and he i-is…" gulping fearfully at the implication, the Captain hesitatingly grabbed the Transponder Snail's receiver as he spoke into it.
"S-S-S-Sir, this is Captain Maril Ryan of the–" "Is the girl secured?" the man on the other side of the radio asked, the silent demand of an update hanging in the stormy air.
Shifting his eyes back towards the chaos caused by the aggressive brunette and the dodging ravenette, the captain trembled harshly–but not by the weather. "W-W-Well, we are i-in the p-p-p-process of re-c-capturing–" "IDIOT! HOW DIFFICULT IS IT TO DETAIN A CHILD?!" he thundered in anger, rivaling the storm itself in volume as the captain's trembling increased.
Unfortunately, before the captain could respond, the smashing of the ship's furniture resounded; being caught by the receiver in the process by the captain inadvertently, catching the Commodore's attention. "...What. Was. That?"
His voice, while thunderous in its anger, was tinged with a bone chilling tone that froze both the captain as well as his surrounding men; as if he had the power to freeze them despite not being there in person. "C-Commodore, Sir, we were b-b-boarded by t-t-two intruders…they are c-currently escaping w-w-with the child…" the captain responded, scrunching his eyes in preparation for his superior's reaction…and he was not disappointed.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!"
As the chaos unfolded, Arynn continued to attack with fierce determination; only to be stopped by a towering Marine, who glared down at her. Hyper focused, she went to reload her weapons–only to raise her eyebrows in surprise; pausing, she slowly looked at the ammo pouch that was strapped to her thigh to see that it was empty. "Huh…" the young woman could only mutter in disbelief, before being punched back by the gigantic officer down into the hull of the ship, causing a large hole as a result.
Confident, the hulking man smirked as he looked towards Dani's location; intending on pursuing her–"I'm out? ARE YOU F*CKING SERIOUS RIGHT NOW?!" but froze in place as he looked to the pissed off brunette who harshly clutched each side of the newly formed hole to pull herself up.
As her ruffled head rose up from the hull, her brown eyes shone with a murderous glint at the towering man. "Sorry, but I call BULLSHIT!" She screeched before aiming her fists at the towering man, "DIAMOND FIST!" she punched at the man's chest with a shout; causing him to be blown back and crashing into the wall of the Captain's quarters much to the horror of the officers who could only look at the glowering woman–who pocketed her guns into their holsters before she made a gesture for them to approach with a feral grin. Her arms glinting from the flashing lightning, highlighting her arms–that seem to now be made of a hardened, transparent jewel rather than its original flesh–she raised in a boxing pose. "Come on assholes! I ain't got all night!"
The officers looked to their captain who simply ordered; "It's either her or the Commodore men!" which strengthened their resolve to continue their attempts to try to take down the woman once more, albeit hesitantly.
We focus back on Dani, who just finished knocking down another Marine by hopping on top of his head–causing him to be knocked out via head slam into the wooden floor as her eyes searched for any other nearby obstacles, "Okaaay, I think that's it for now." She then lightly placed the girl onto one of the seats of the rowboat before gently cupping the child's cheeks to make her open her eyes at the older woman. "Are you ok, Apis? Not hurt or anything?" The newly named Apis shook her head as a barely noticeable tear flowed down her cheek to join with the heavy rain water pouring over the duo. The ravenette gave her a reassuring hug, wiping the moisture from both her cheeks as she did so, "Oh, lovely, shhh…it's ok, you're safe." she told her, dark brown eyes glancing toward her friend for a moment before nodding to herself.
She leaned back, looking at the young girl once more, "Apis, sit here for a moment, I got to do something…" noticing her unsure expression, Dani gave her forehead a quick peck before smiling at Apis' confused look at the action. "There. I just gave you a protection charm~ Now no one can get you until I come back."
Straightening up, the woman gave a closed eye smile before dashing away.
The moment she left, one of the Marines–seeing their chance–immediately attempted to reach the girl–causing her to shy away–only for him to freeze, "Uhhh…Steve? What are you doing; get the girl!" One of the other officers told the Marine, staring at him surprised at this still posture.
Steve only fell face down on the ground, unmoving, startling the officers as one crouched near him in concern, "Hey! Are you ok?!" another scoffed at the scene. "What a pansy, I can take it from here–" the marine paused, similarly to how Steve was when he also tried to reach into the boat, before also falling on the ground–still as a board. Freaking out his colleagues whilst Apis just stared at the scene in surprise as, while some attempted to figure out what was happening, there was still a straggler or two that tried to grab her; only to fail the same way.
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!" One of the officers shouted in fear, seeing yet another foolish guy fall on the ground, still as a statue, as from atop the Crow's Nest, the ravenette watched with a laugh at their attempts before saying aloud; "Siren Kiss: Urchin Shell" as if in response, a transparent blue spiky bubble suddenly surrounded Apis–who flinched momentarily in shock–causing the marines to jump back to avoid the spikes that cover the bubble.
Satisfied with the girl's safety, Dani leaned on the railing as she shouted towards her companion, "ARYNN! Are you done yet? We gotta head off before the storm clears!" before grabbing a switchblade knife from one of the pockets within her cropped jacket in preparation. Arynn–who just finished knocking an officer down with a punch–pouted up at the older woman, "But I'm not done testing out my new move yet! It's been forever since we've been in combat!"
"Arynn…" Dani raised an eyebrow disapprovingly with a stern tone, "WHAT?!" only for her friend to reply defiantly; knocking away any approaching officer effortlessly as if swatting a bug, "Look; I just want to beat up a few more Marines without having some old lady call the police–IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?!"
As if in emphasis, she flipped a few more men over her shoulder; causing them to be tossed overboard. "Come on, don't do the puppy pout on me–we need to get Apis back home. Remember?" Dani replied factually as she began cutting the ropes of the shrouds connected to the main mast, causing it to begin to sway from the sudden instability. "F*****CKING FINE!" the younger woman shouted, pout remaining on her face, as she broke into a run towards the rowboat; that still held a bubble-encased Apis in it.
With the brunette's movements, Dani then cut the final rope before leaping down to the rowboat as well; carefully landing onto one of the seats.
Almost as if on cue, shortly after Dani and Arynn entered the boat, the ship began to take a tumble due to the ship relentlessly rocking from the waves and the disconnection of the ropes, the main mast lost balance; falling onto the foremast with its sail falling open. Screams echoed through the boat as the ship began to tilt dangerously towards the ocean from the commotion as many of its inhabitants tried to hold on for dear life.
"What's happening there?! What is all that commotion?!" The voice of the Commodore yelled from the transponder snail to the captain who, unknown to the speaker, wasn't able to respond to his superior due to his unfortunate slide from the stern of the ship to the edge of the railing; alongside his crew that also shared the same fate as himself.
In all of the chaos unfolded, the ship had flung the rowboat overboard a fair distance away from the vessel it was originally on; giving the three onboard some room for a head start, however the other Marine ships were already closing in on them. "Ok, Dee; no pressure but–GET US THE F*CK OUTTA HERE BEFORE THEY KILL US!" Arynn screamed, holding a–now freed from the bubble–shivering Apis in her arms in an attempt to warm the young girl up.
The ravenette just laughed lightly at her then moved to the back of the rowboat, reaching the tips of her fingers into the water she splashed the water gently, somehow causing the harsh ocean's waves to form into a group of Dolphins that quickly surround the trio protectively as they also push the rowboat away from the ships–fast, but far more calm than the rest of the weather-influenced waves–much to the ire of the Marine vessels that could only watch from afar as the boat soon became hidden from view from both the Dolphins and the relentless storm.
6 hours later at a random location:
"IDIOTS!" *CRASH*
An unfortunate transponder snail smashed against the cold floors of the room, still alive but its shell had a harsh crack by the force of the throw, the officer–who initially brought the snail–couldn't help but tremble at the sight.
The other Marines could only flinch in fear as the one who caused the poor snail's predicament sat in his chair in pure anger–his ugly face souring, nearly making his face look even more disgusting than his grotesque physique. This man was Commodore Nelson Royale of the 8th branch of the Marines, the one who captured Apis in the first place, and he looked ready to explode in fury.
"That girl may be a clue to the Dragonite that I've spent years searching for–" he paused for a moment to slam one of his fists on his armrest in emphasis, "-only for five ships full of Marines to be bested by not one–but TWO small timers?!" He then tossed a piece of paper to the floor, which was hidden from view.
"DON'T ANY OF YOU REALIZE HOW SERIOUS THIS IS?! If word were to get out about this, not only would my chances of achieving immortality be dashed–BUT I WOULD BE SEEN AS A LAUGHINGSTOCK TO THE WORLD GOVERNMENT!" He bellowed to his men–causing them to shrink to themselves as if in protection, with the one who brought the transponder snail saluting in an attempt to appease the gigantic man–before turning to a seemingly empty doorway; "ERIC!"
Like magic, a lanky man with a bizarre haircut appeared nonchalantly "I've been here all along." the man stated emotionlessly, though the Commodore could care less. "I can't lose to two interfering nobodies! Not after we finally found a clue!"
Pointing at Eric–which was difficult to see with his large belly–the Marine Commodore scowled at the odd-haired man, "Go join my fleet and find the brat no matter what it takes–" "With all due respect…" The lanky man interjected, "Tracking someone down wasn't in the contract we agreed upon."
But the Marine merely narrowed his eyes at Eric, "This may not be in the contract, however, undertaking this task would benefit you; would it not?" the Commodore's horrendous face twisted into a vile smirk "After all, wouldn't it be fortunate that the almighty "Whirlwind Mercenary" himself took back his glory by taking down the ones who caused his fall from grace?"
After a few moments, Eric tilted his head in acquiescence to his contractor's words as his eyes–covered by sunglasses–glinted menacingly at the fallen paper that seemed to have a picture of Dani and Arynn for some reason...
Back to the Duo & the Smol Child
"...Arynn…" Dani deadpanned at the brunette with a raised eyebrow, her arm around Apis–who was drinking from a canteen and snickering at their antics–as the younger woman seemed to be scrutinizing a map intensely. "WHAT?! Look, Dee–" she then points to a random spot on the map to show the ravenette before gesturing to the open sea, "It was RIGHT here! I followed the directions PER-FECT-LY!" she insisted with a determined gleam in her brown eyes.
But the older woman saw through the gleam effortlessly, "We're lost, aren't we?"
Arynn scoffed unconvincingly, "NO! What's LOST–Danielle–is your sense of TRUST; the TRUST we both MUTUALLY placed in one another when we were both born from the SAME WOMB at the SAME TIME–" "We don't have the same Mom Arynn, and I'm seven years older than you." Dani replied simply, her arms shaking from the laughing girl being held in her arms–the canteen she drank from thankfully taken away and placed in a bag–as she maintained her stern expression.
Scrambling for a response, Arynn could only think of one way to respond; "F*CK YOU!"
Finally, Dani's monotone expression cracked; her laughter joined Apis' hysterically with Arynn's own joining not too long after. "Wooow…THAT is the best comeback you got?" the younger woman shrugged her shoulders over exaggeratedly, "I dunno man, I'm just trying to lighten the mood a bit."
After wiping a tear away, Apis' laughter faded into slight giggles as she spoke up, "So, what are we going to do? Wait for another ship?" Arynn, after folding the map, nodded at the girl; "Maybe. Doesn't look like this map is genuine…shit, I wasted my last 230 Berri on it…" she realized before scowling at the offending paper in question, much to the humor of Dani whose smile simply widened at her pouting friend. "Hey, it's your fault for buying from some self proclaimed "Merchant of the Finer things" in some treehouse."
The brunette crossed her arms defensively, "Look, he had a discount of 40% off–" "Wait; you brought from Old Man Jekki? The one everyone on Warship Island named as the Worst Scam artist of all time?" Apis interjected, looking as if she's trying to hold back more laughter.
"NO!" the young girl/older woman looked at the brunette skeptically "...maybe…" their eyebrows raised, causing Arynn to finally crack, "OKAY YES I DID! Is it so wrong to take a chance?" "Not if they're known in the whole Village for scamming people for years." Apis countered as she gave a headpat to one of the random seagulls that were starting to fly around their boat curiously at the trio. The two older women, despite noticing this weird behavior of the animals, just shrugged off the oddity due to their own knowledge of why they were swarming.
Tuning out the ongoing conversation the younger two were having–mostly revolving how Arynn was a "Dummy" and how Apis was a "Unenlightened Child"-Dani's eyes roamed the calm waters; simply observing the scenery.
From the fluffy white clouds in the sky all the way to the rapidly approaching hand stretching across the bright blue ocean towards the rowboat, the sea is–...wait.
Before the older woman could even voice to the other two of what was happening, the hand quickly wrapped around the trio tightly and–without missing a beat–yanked them across the sea to the origin of the hand. Much to their surprise.
"AAAAHHH! WHAT'S HAPPENING?!"
"WHAT F*CKITY F*CK IS THIS?!"
"OOOH SHIII–"
Meanwhile, 5 minutes earlier:
A certain crew on a small Caravel ship sailed through the calm ocean, their route as clear as the sun in the open sky–especially to the Navigator of the vessel–as a young boy with a red vest and a strawhat on his head, looking to be no older than 16/17 as he sat atop the figurehead of a lamb with a happy go lucky smile on his face in excitement.
Behind the boy were three other people, all looking to be around the same age as himself; one was a young girl with bright orange hair reading a map with a thoughtful look, another was a blonde young man with his hair hiding his left eye simply leaning against a railing with a smoke in his mouth as he appreciated the weather whilst next to him was the third young man with bright green hair, who napped beside him without a care.
Nearby, in the Crow's Nest, was yet another young man with bushy black hair and a surprising pinocchio-esque long nose who was using a spyglass to look around the ocean in curiosity yet slight boredom of the routine lookout.
The red vested boy then turned to the girl behind him, "NAMI! Aren't we in the Grand Line yet?" the redhead in question sighed tiredly at the boy; "Luffy, we left Loguetown two days ago…"
She then turned to face Luffy, "I told you it would take a few days. Just wait a while longer." unaffected by the length of their travel, the straw hatted boy just continued to smile brightly at his Navigator. "Okay! Shishishishi…"
The blonde boy leaned his head back, looking up at the sky with a calm grin; "What nice weather! Hard to believe there was a storm not too long ago." he then glanced down at the greenette napping beside him as his grin became a cheeky smirk. "It's unfortunate that we still have some shitty seaweed onboard…" his leg was then kicked, causing the blonde to lose his smirk and hop on one foot as he cradled his injured leg all the while glaring (with a tick mark on his forehead to further emphasis his rage) at the seemingly dozing swordsman for causing the injury.
"MOSS-HEAD–" "HEY! I see a flock of birds on the starboard!" However, the angered young man was interrupted by his bushy haired peer in the Crow's Nest.
Curious at the lookout's shout, the other inhabitants–excluding the still snoozing greenette–of the vessel either stared upward at the Crow's Nest or toward the starboard side of the ship, "I also see something kind of big on the water…" continued the long nosed boy; using one of his own mini-goggle lens' as he attempted to obtain a clearer view of the mysterious object that was gathering attention from the local avian life. "It's hard to tell from here–maybe a big fish? Or a boat?"
Ears perked at the mention of fish, the blonde man raised his visible eye towards the starboard, "I often hear that seabirds flock above fish. Plus, they wouldn't be that interested in some empty boat." Luffy's grin grew wide at the blondes words; "FISH?!" he exclaimed excitedly.
Nodding to the straw hatted boy, the blonde leaned back against the railing–his leg miraculously recovered from the kick–as he took another whiff of his cigarette. "Luffy, could you grab whatever is there? I'll see if I can cook it for lunch." Hyped up by the prospect of delicious food–despite not knowing whether or not this would actually be anything edible–Luffy pulled his arm back; stretching it in a ridiculous fashion. "Gum Gum…Grab!"
Gaining the right momentum, he then unleashed his arm towards the unknown blob and waited until he could feel something to grab onto. "Woah! Still can't get used to that!" cried out the lookout in surprise as the blonde raised his curly eyebrow, "Damn, his ability sure is convenient…"
"Shishishi! Got ya!" cheered the grinning boy before he pulled back his prize to the boat at a rapid pace.
As what he was grabbing was drawing near the boat, Nami paused for a moment before cupping one of her ears, "Wait; do you guys hear that?" the boys–excluding Luffy and the dozing green haired boy–looked to the red haired Navigator inquisitively "Hear what?" the bushy haired boy asked as he also copied Nami and cupped one of his ears to listen closely.
They were silent as they tried to listen for anything out of the ordinary.
. . .
"-ENING?!"
"-IS THIS?!"
"-IIIT!"
Three screams began to grow louder as seconds passed, much to the startled confusion of the crew–until the blonde man looked at what Luffy was drawing closer to the ship with a bewildered expression, "H-Hold on a second…are those–AH!" he then abruptly dived away from the rubber arm; unfortunately leaving the sleeping greenette to be pushed overboard by the momentum.
*SLAM*
Seeing his friend's predicament, Luffy dropped his cargo on the deck of the ship as he looked towards where the green haired man was sent flying, "Ah, sorry about that Zoro." he apologized impassively to the poor man as if he didn't just toss someone into the ocean randomly. The blonde shook his fist threateningly at the straw hatted ravenette with an angry set of shark teeth bared ( "DUMBASS!" he shouted) which was sadly ignored by the other boy.
"Huh…didn't see this coming." a feminine voice rang out, drawing the attention of the ship's crew to the small pile of three; which ended up being Dani, Arynn & Apis from before (with Arynn being the one who spoke). The youngest of the trio was lying on top of the oldest–who held her closely as she sat up from where they were tossed with a probing gaze directed at the inhabitants of the ship–as Arynn jumped to her feet with a stretch while sizing up the younger people. Noticing their surprised faces, the brunette gave a bow to the small group with a cheeky grin on her face, "Hey! Thanks for…uhhh…tossing us aboard with your–" she paused to make weird gestures in imitation of Luffy's ability; "-weird arm thingy."
Unsure of how else to respond, everyone (excluding Luffy and Zoro) bowed back, mumbling a combined symphony of "Your welcome"s to the older woman.
*Poke* *Poke*
Feeling someone poking her arm lightly, Arynn looked to her side to see Luffy looking at her curiously; "Are you a fish person? Where's your web? No–wait…" he paused, gaining a serious expression on his face at the woman as he carefully chose his next words. Said woman raised an eyebrow in preparation of his question…
"Can you poop?"
*PINCH*
"OWOWOWOWOWOW!" the boy screeched, his rubber cheek being pinched by Arynn–who gave him a surprisingly humored look in her eye–while she replied to his odd question; "First, I'm not a fish person; if anything, Dani over there is the closest to be one out of the three of us–" (Dani nodded in agreement when eyes went in her direction) "-and Secondly, I do poop. But that's more my business, so, with that outta the way…"
Letting go of his cheek–causing him to rub it with a pout–the brunette turned to the other members of the crew with a clap, "If it's okay, can we go inside? We've been sailing for hours and haven't had time to rest yet. We got some Berri to pay you back if you want." Nami, whose iris' momentarily changed into Berri symbols with a "kaching" zoomed in front of the woman enthusiastically, "Yes, of course!~ Right this way~" she then guided the women (and the passed out girl in Dani's arms) to the kitchen. Leaving the boys alone out on the deck, blinking at the absence of both Nami as well as the strangers that were piled out here just moments ago.
. . .
"Hey, aren't we forgetting something?" the lookout asked the other two boys, who both simply shrugged; ironically forgetting about poor Zoro, who wadded his way back towards the boat with a deadly glare in his eye.
A/N:
Heyo! Sorry if the pacing was a wee bit fast near the end there; felt that the chapter was already done enough that I just wanted to ensure that the main characters can meet before the end of it. My goal is to try to do each One Piece episode in either 2 or 3 chapters (depending how they will come out as I'm writing them down) so they will take a bit. The reason why I'm starting with the Warship Island Arc is mainly because–while it is a filler arc, I felt that a filler arc would be better for my OCs to arrive in to make the filler episodes more than just…well, filler. I won't do EVERY filler arc though, I'm not too fussed on most of them, but there may be a few original ones I'll do (MAYBE, havent decided yet) but I'll make sure to update an essential chapter in tandem with the filler to avoid any headaches. Thank you for reading so far!
