Luffy and his four crewmates were on the Obsidian Dog as they sailed east from Shells Town.
Kuina was at the helm with Luffy next to her, telling her where to go.
Zoro was sleeping on the deck, and Koby and Doll were also on the deck, but Doll saw Koby's training.
"Keep that footwork," Doll said as Kuina looked at Luffy.
"Hey, captain, what are mine and Zoro's roles on your crew if Doll is your first mate?" she asked, but Luffy shook his head.
"Doll an't my first mate," He told her as she looked at him, "She's the instructor on my crew, she will each everyone what they want to learn, and if she dose not know it, she will go and learn it to teach it," Luffy told her as Kuina looks amazed.
"And I'm thinking Koby is going to be our jack of all trades, other wise known as the swashbuckler, the one who learns a little of everything so that he can keep getting stronger," Luffy said, and Kuina nodded as she understood.
"It makes sense if Doll's training him to be a ninja, as they are not masters of everything but know a bit of everything," she said as she turned the helm a tiny bit, "But what about me and Zoro," Kuina asked him.
"This Taijutsu needs you to keep palms out for strikes," Doll told Koby, who kept his hand out flat as he stuck in the air.
Doll walked up and gently pushed his arm, straightening it out before stepping back, "Again," She told him.
"I don't know yet, as with Doll, what I saw her, I knew about what her role would be, and when Koby joined us, I wanted him to pick something he would use to make him stong, and when he chose the path of the ninja, I knew that the swashbuckler would be the perfect role for him on the crew as you said about him being a ninja," Luffy said as sat down by the stairs leading to the helm, "But for you two, I don't know, and I don't want to just lable you both as just the swordsmen of the crew," Luffy said as Kuina nodded.
"That makes sense," she admitted, nodding as she watched Koby strike at a post simulating a human body.
"Two, four, eight, Eight Trigrams Sixteen Palms," Koby called out as he delivered palm strikes at the post as Doll watched.
She narrowed her eyes at the post before nodding, "Good, now onto some traning on getting out of rope and chains," Doll said as Koby nodded.
Before he knew it, he was tied up on the ground.
"Ah, what do I have to do," He asked her as he looked up.
"Get out of the ropes," Doll said as she started making food.
Koby looked down at the ropes and started to use his limited movement to pull at them.
After a few days of sailing, the six of them made it to the pirate port.
It was a cluster of islets with sandy beaches and a small town with a stone road.
Koby moved them to the north as they found the port and set up a cart with everything they would sell.
Zoro looked around before looking back at Luffy, "What is this place," he asked his captain.
"This is a port that was made by a crew of peace main pirates after their ship was beached on the main island, and from there each time when a peace main crews wound up here with some staying to build there own home before over time it become what were looking at," Luffy said as Koby looked amazed.
"So where to fist," Kuina asked as she kept an eye on Zoro.
"We need to sell the treasure that we have, along with the things from Morgan's office and Helmeppo's room, and gain extra money by handing over the mace and broom; we can also see if we can get their bounty," Luffy said.
The others looked confused before they walked on, with Zoro and Koby pushing the cart.
It was mainly Zoro, though.
They walked into the town and found hardly anyone in the city, but they found a shop nearby that looked like a buy-and-sell.
The front of the shop had large barn doors, and Luffy and Doll opened the doors as Zoro and Koby pushed the cart in.
The inside of the shop was filled with paintings, furniture, other pieces of art, vases, and other things.
There was also a small counter with a woman behind it who looked to be in her late thirties.
She wore blue pants, black boots, a white blouse, and a black coat.
"Well, hello, dears, how can I help you, five," she asked them as she walked out from behind the counter.
"Were here to sell all this and then get some peace bountyes," Luffy said as the woman nodded.
"I see," she said before giving a slight bow, "I'm Katah, and welcome to Katah's Curiosities, where you can sell what you don't need and possibly buy something you do," Katah told them as she whistled.
Two men walked in.
They were both bald and had no shirts, camo pants, and black boots.
"Yes, captain," They both asked her.
"Can you bring in a table place," she asked them. They nodded and walked off, and Doll narrowed her eyes.
"Would you happen to be Sea Serpent Katah," Doll asked as Katah nodded.
Katah gained a small cheeky smile as she looked at Doll.
"So the former commandor has heard of me," she said as Doll looked shocked.
"Oh, don't be shocked; I always look into strong women, and you happened to be one of the best in the Marines, right under Kujaku and Tsuru," Katah said with a shrug.
"Oh, you mean my older sister and grandmother," Luffy said as everyone looked at him in shock, "What," he asked them.
"Your grandfather, Garp the First, is married to Great Staff Officer Tsuru," Doll asked her captain, who nodded.
"And your sister is one of the best Marines in the works, quickly climbing the ranks," she asked him as Luffy nodded.
Doll then sighed as she started to rub her eyes.
"One day, the Monkey D family will stop surprising me, and when that happens, it will be the end of the world," she muttered as the two men from earlier walked back in carrying a large table.
Katah shook her head as she pointed at the table, "Please put the items on the table," She told them as Kuina and Doll started to pull stuff out of the cart.
Katah looked over each item on the table critically, scanning each piece to ensure it was in order.
She then walked back behind the counter, pulled out a pad of paper, a quill, and a pot of ink, and started to write on it.
"Jack, can you get me by eyeglass; Mike, can you get me the scales with the weights," Katah asked them as they nodded, and she walked off once more while she worked.
"I take it that everything is good," Kuina asked as she looked at the woman.
"Oh, yes, and some of the things here, like this fabulous egg, if real, can go for quite a bit," she said to the swordswoman as Jack and Mike returned the requested items.
When Koby looked at her, Katah pulled out the eyeglasses and started using them to look over some of the paintings.
"Why are you called Sea Serpent," he asked her.
"I use ninjutsu, and my goto was the Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique; I would always form mine to look like the mighty Leviathen, mother of the sea," Katah explained to him as Koby nodded.
"I see, so your a ninja and a pirate," Koby asked her as she cracked a smile.
"Retired, on both accounts, but when I was sailing, yes I was, why," She asked him back as she wrote down some numbers.
"I'm currently learning to be a ninja myself and I wondered if you have any tipes for someone who has just started out," Koby asked her as she nodded.
"Yeah, I got something for you, learn more than just one element, wheil I earn a high bounty for the East Blue, it was still low on the scale," Katah told him.
"I have not got that far yet," Koby told her as she nodded.
"Right, then work on waking up your chakra and doing chakra control exercises as soon as possible so that the other things, like the Rope Escape Technique, where you need to learn how to dislocate your body, your chakra can then be used to put everything back in place," Katah explained to him as Koby nodded.
"Got it, thank you," He said with a bow.
After a bit, Katah raised her head.
"Right, for all this, I would like to offer you fifty-seven million, four hundred thousand, one hundred Beri," She told them, as everyone's eyes shot wide, and they nodded.
"Yes, that would be a good amount," Luffy said as he managed to keep his face straight.
Katah walked behind her counter, pulled out some cases, and counted stacks of bills before placing them into the cases.
Before long, ten cases were filled with money.
"Each case has five million, seven hundred and forty thousand, and ten Beri," Katah told them as they took the cases.
"Is there anything else that you need," she asked them.
"Is there a place where we can cash in some Peace Bountys," Luffy asked as she nodded.
"Go down the street to The Secret Phoenix, and you'll find a man called Lama, who deals with Peace Bountys," Katah told them as they nodded and left, pushing the cart out.
"Hey, Luffy what is a Peace Bounty," Zoro asked him as they walked down the road.
"When a Peace Main pirate defects a crew, either through death or sinking, we take something that the person had used or would have on their person and bring it to a Peace Bounty Office where the person would see if the thing that we bring is really from that person or not and if it is then we get their bounty along with a little something extra," Luffy said as Doll looked amazed.
"So as we beat Alvida, who has five million and Shupeal, who has three million five hundred thousand, that means that he have an extra eight million, five thousand Beri," Doll said as she remembered the bounties of the two crews they had fought.
"Well, Luffy said that is the minimum we could get," Koby said as they found a large red and yellow building with a phoenix resembling a swan on the sign.
Luffy grabbed the broom they had taken from Shupeal and the mase from Alvida and walked in with Kuina next to him.
When they walked in, they found that the shop was a bear but was filled with bounty posters and a man who sat behind a window.
"What can I do for you," He said as they saw that he had a scar running across his face, from cheek to cheek, and had a balding head.
"Are you Lama," Luffy asked him as he nodded.
"That I am," He told them with a nod.
"Then we are here to gain the Peace Bountys for Shupeal the Hexagon and Iron Mase Alvida," Kuina told him as he nodded.
Luffy placed the things he held down as the man pulled them through the window.
"This looks like the one she would use when she first started out on her journey of becoming a pirate," the man said as he looked the mase over before nodding, "You'll have Alvida's 5,000,000, and now for the broom," Lama said as he looked at the broom before he turned his head.
"Hey, Neizo, get your ass over here and see if this is the broom a magic user would use," Lama asked as a woman walked over.
But the only thing they could see was that she had a long blue dress on.
"Sure thing, you ugly duck," she said as she snatched the broom from his hands.
It gave off a cyan glow before she handed it back.
"Yep, it is," Neizo said before Lama turned back, and she walked off.
"And I can give you the Shupeal's 3,500,000," He told them as they smiled at him, "And now the mase, we can do nothing with that so you can have that back to sell," Lama said as he pushed the mase back though.
"Right," Kuina said as Luffy picked up the mase.
"As for the broom, we'll keep that, so I'll give you an extra nine hundred for the broom and for his thing about going after animals on the brink of extrixtion I'll thouw in another thousand," Lama said as Luffy nodded.
"That sounds good," the rubber man said. After a few minutes, Luffy and Kuina walked out carrying four cases.
"So how mutch do we have now," Zoro asked as Doll started to do some quick maths.
"Sixty-six million, nine hundred and two thousand Beri," she told the green-haired swordsman before putting her cases down and opening them.
She then pulled out a thick stack of bills and started to count them before closing her eyes and handing out two stacks each to her crewmates, "We, each now have a mill that we have and were going to use it to get our equipment up to date, get get some tools and cloths and other things that we may need," She said as she then looked over to Luffy, "That is if that's alright captain," Kuina asked him.
"That's alright, quartermaster," Luffy said as he looked at Doll, "Doll, you go with Koby and help him get his weapons and other things he'll need," Luffy told her.
The dog-type Devil Fruit user nodded, and she and Koby walked off.
Luffy then turned to both his sword users.
"You both can get supplied, and Kuina, as the Quartermaster, you are going to need to make stock of all the equipment that we have on the Dog," he told her as she nodded.
"Got it," she said as she looked at him.
"What are you going to do," she asked him.
"I'm going to put our money back on the Dog then do some shoping of my own before we head off," Luffy told them as he pulled the cart away with the money inside.
Koby and Doll walked down the road looking for a blacksmith, "So what are we getting," He asked her.
"We're going to get you one hundred kunai and shuriken to start with, and we'll go from there," Doll told him.
The pink-haired boy nodded, and the two of them looked around.
"How are we going to carry everything we buy back to the ship," Koby asked as Doll looked at him, "We left the cart with Luffy, Zoro and Kuina," Koby explained to her.
"If need be, we'll buy another cart, and I'll turn into my beast form and pull it," she told him. Koby nodded before something came to him.
"Why dose-" Koby started as Doll turned to him.
"Luffy's Devil Fruit affects him so much," she asked him as Koby nodded. That is because some Devil Fruit have wills of their own, and the person who eats that Devil Fruit will have a slight change to them—not much of a change, but it does change you. For me, as I ate the Inu Inu no Mi Model: Cerberus, I have a thing about enemies getting past me," she told them as Koby looked at her.
"So you hate it when enemies get past you," Koby asked her as she nodded.
"Yep, I found that out when Garp was training Luffy and me, you see he used something called Soru and appeared behind me, and the next thing I knew, a rage overcame me, and I shifted into my half-beast form," Doll explained to him as Koby nodded, "I still have trouble with that, but Luffy is affected by the freedom of those around him, when he see's someone that is enslaved, or is under tyranny and is having there freedom taken away from them, it starts him off and he will everything that he can do to return the freedom that was taken from them, like he did with you," She explained to Koby who nodded.
"So his Devil Fruit seeks out thouse that have been enslaved," Koby asked.
"No, the fruit only gives him a nudge when he's around it as if to tell him to fix it," Doll explained, and when she finished, they found what they were looking for.
The Lost Blossom Clothing, and both of them walked inside.
Luffy made it back to the Obsidian Dog and put the money away, but before he could walk around the port, he stopped and felt that it was on an island that was not that far and even had a bridge leading over to it.
He walked across the bridge before he felt a chill in the air.
He started to look around and saw a woman with a large club battling five men.
Luffy narrowed his eyes as he watched, getting ready to aid either side if need be.
"Where have you taken them," the woman yelled at the man she was holding back with her club.
"Why the fuck would we tell you bitch," One of the men said.
"They will get what's coming to them soon," another said, getting ready to attack her, but that was when Luffy jumped in.
"Gum-Gum Pistol," He called out as he shorted his fist forward and into the face of one of the men that the woman was fighting.
"What the-," The man the woman was holding off said before she moved her club and knocked the man over the head with it.
They both turned to see Luffy running over, leaving one of his fists behind as it stretched out as he ran forward.
"What the-," Another man asked before Luffy snapped his arm back and punched the man in the face.
"Who the hell are you," The man who locked weapons with the woman asked him as he moved away with his remaining two men.
"Monkey D Luffy, nice to meet you," Luffy said with a bright smile.
When the woman looked at Luffy's smile, she could not help but think of something she had read when her father held her.
'It was when I met that man that I knew I would follow him.
His smile reminded me of the sun, how it would warm every cold over you.'
She looked at Luffy and could feel that seeing his smile made her feel like what had been written all those years ago.
"Oden, did you feel the same as I did right now when you were standing next to that man," she asked, a smile formed. "And my name is Yamato," she said as Luffy looked over and got into a fighting stance.
Zoro and Kuina walked down the street together. Zoro often looked at Kuina before the blue-haired girl looked at him.
"What is it," she asked him.
"Why did you give we the Wado," Zoro asked her as Kuina looked at the white sword on his waist before looking ahead.
"When we were younger, I was on my way to becoming a master of the sword, even if my father wants me to settle down and birth some sons for him to train in the art of the sword," Kuina said as Zoro nodded, "So I forged ahead with everyone telling me that I must give up the sword, and then I met you, you told me that my gender did not matter to you, and after my asident, I feared that I might have to give up the sword," She added as Zoro just looked at her and said nothing.
"Then you were there once more, helping me back on my feet, telling me to get it together, so I picked up Wado once more, but from that day, I felt that I could not bring out it's full power and turn it into a black blade, but I held it in hopes that I would one day do that then," Kuina said as Zoro let out a breath.
"Kojiro Sasaki," Zoro said as Kuina nodded.
"Kojiro-Sensei taught me another way to be a swordsman, and I used his skills to aid me in making my sword style, I felt that I was going to bring my sword to that level and when we went to Shells Town, and we got held for the time we were there, and I could not help but think that I would weald Wado once more, but then Luffy appered into our lives," She said as a smile formed on her face.
And one was also forming on Zoro's as they thought of their captain.
"Just by him accepting my dream made me think that I was letting Wado Ichimonji down and that I did not have the skill to wield that blade but I knew someone who could," Kuina said as Zoro looked amazed.
"Me," He asked her.
"Yeah, I mean, I think that you were always meant to wield the Wado, but you just did not have the moment," she told him, and Zoro nodded.
He then looked at her, "So, quartermaster, what do we need to get," Zoro asked her.
"We're fully stocked on everything, but we could get some training equipment for everyone to use, that is, until we get a bigger ship," Kuina said as Zoro nodded.
They started to look around.
"And I'm keeping an eye on you as you get lost when walking in a straight line," she added as Zoro muttered under his breath.
Koby and Doll left The Lost Blossom, where Koby changed his clothes to baggy black pants, shin guards, and black shinobi sandals.
He has bandages around his forearms up to his fingers, covering a set of stitches on his hands that were caused by his rigorous training.
He also has shuriken holsters strapped onto each of his left legs with a punch behind and a meshed shirt underneath a long-sleeve black shirt.
"Now you have the look; we just need to find the black smith to get your weapons, and then we're done with your shopping," Doll told him as Koby nodded.
They followed the directions the owner of The Lost Blossom gave them to find the blacksmith.
After five short minutes, they approached the Autumn Dog Black Smith.
The two entered and saw that the walls were covered with different types of persons and shelves with various weapons.
Behind a counter was a large man in overalls with scars covering his body and a bush-red beard.
"What can I do for the two of ya," The man said as they approached him.
"Hello, we are here to buy some ninja weaponry," Doll said as the man looked at it before smiling, pulling out a clipboard, and handing it over to Doll.
"Just fill this out with the amount you need, and I'll see how much of it I have. We'll go from there," he told her as she turned to Koby.
"Have a look around and see if any weapon peaks your interest, I'll train you in it, and Zoro and Kuina will also train you," she told him as the man handed her a pen, and Koby started to look around.
He walked down the aisles of the blacksmith shop and saw swords, fans, hammers, and other weapons before finding what he was looking for.
It was a sword with no crossguard or tsuba; the handle and sheath looked like a shirasaya and looked white with a black line that travelled down the handle and sheath.
So he pulled the sword off the shelf and unsheathed it, finding that the blade was not bent.
"That shirasaya is a chokutō but a bit longer," Koby heard behind him as he turned to see the man.
"Right," He said as he looked back at the blade of the sword.
"I'm Rigzin, the owner of this place, and I think that you and that sword would work well together," Rigzin told Koby, who smiled at him.
"I bet you tell everyone that," He told the blacksmith, who laughed.
"Oh, no, most people I shoot out the shop as they don't know a good weapon unless I use it on them," Rigzin said as he looked back at the sword in Koby's hands, "That sword was used by a ninja named Sasuke, whom I bought this sword off when he was reaching his last years," he told Koby, who looked back at the sword.
"I'll take it," Koby said as he walked back over to Doll, who had just finished filling out the clipboard.
"Alright, let me look at what we have, and then I'll come back with the price," Rigzin told them as he walked away, making a curtain to the main street area.
It took ten minutes of waiting before Rigzin returned to the front. "Alright, I have the quality of what you need and everything you asked for, and with the sword that brings your price to 152,350 Beri," he told them before holding up a metal plate for them to look at.
"And what am I etching on the headband," Rigzin asked them.
Doll smiled as Koby sorted his money to pay the man.
"A skull and crossbones with a straw hat on the head of the skull," She told him as Koby finished paying the man.
"What cloth would you like it to be," He asked them.
"Can it be blue cloth with a white line in the middle of the cloth," Koby asked him as the man nodded and walked away to start doing what the boy asked.
After twenty minutes, Koby wakes next to a doll in her beast form.
Doll's beast form is a large black dog with three heads and blood-red eyes.
Lines of coloured fur run down each head, with the right head having a purple line, the centre head having cyan, and the left having an orange.
The heads of her Cerberus form are those of an Alsatian dog.
Koby had learnt that Doll, in her complete Cerberus form, can change her size as her total height is around sixteen feet tall when standing on flour.
But right now, she was the size of a shire horse.
"So where to now," Koby asked her.
"We make our way back as I don't really see anything that I like," the head closest to Koby said as they walked towards the ship. Koby thought that the head sounded calm.
They found Zoro and Kuina walking the same way before spotting them.
"Hey, kid, who's your friend," Zoro asked as he walked over, and her left head rolled her eyes.
"It's my green hair," Doll said as Zoro looked up at her, confused.
And this one sounded angry.
"Doll that you," Kuina asked as the three heads nodded.
"So this is your beast form," she said as she looked over the giant dog.
Koby saw that they were carrying things, and at his look, Zoro turned to him.
"We were stocking up on some medicine and other things," he told him before placing it in the cart with the weapons and some clothes and continuing.
That was when the middle head of Doll's form narrowed her eyes. "Luffy is talking with someone, over by that bridge, and there are knocked-out people around them," she said as Zoro.
And this head sounds hyper.
"I'll go see what's going on," Zoro said as he headed toward Luffy.
But.
"Did he just turn left," Koby asked as Kuina sighed.
"I'll go get him," Kuina said as she jogged after Zoro, the right head of Doll's beast form, turned to Koby.
"Can you head over to Luffy and ask what is going on while I take the stuff back to the Dog, Then I'll meet up with the two of you," she asked the ninja-in-training, who headed off to see Luffy.
And so Doll walked back to the ship.
Luffy and Yamato stood around with the five bodies of the people they were fighting littered around them.
"So what were you after," Luffy asked her.
"I was asked by the people of this port to get back some people that was taken from them," Yamato said as Luffy nodded.
"Do you know where they were taken," Luffy asked her as she pointed across the water to a small island that was not that far from them, a large rock formation.
"I know they are in there but I can't seem to find them," She said with a growl that sounded like a dog's.
Neither said anything as they both felt something enter their sensory range.
Luffy knew it was his crew, so he turned to Yamato.
"Would you like to join my crew," he asked as she looked at him.
"What," She asked him with shock on her face.
"Do you want to join my crew after we get those people," Luffy asked her as she looked at him.
"I mean, you're strong, and I'm going to need people like you to see my dream come true," He told her as another passage from the book she read before came to her mind.
But she had a little trouble remembering the words.
"Along the way, I can help my crew achieve their dreams," Luffy added as she looked at him.
But with that, she did.
'When I was part of Whitebeard's crew, I did not really feel like I fit in with them, but then Roger asked me, "Oden, do you want to join my crew and we'll both see each other's dreams come true," was what he told me and I knew that I had followed the right man and Whitebeard did not throw a fuss when I joined him.'
Yamato opened her mouth to answer before Koby came running up to him, "Captain are you alright," He asked as he slowed down before stopping right in front of him.
"I'm alright, Koby; I was just talking with Yamato here and asked her if she would," Luffy said before Yamato cut him off.
"Yes, I join your crew," she said as Koby and Luffy turned to her.
"What," Koby asked her.
"I'll join your crew, and I'll be your Chronicler," Yamato said as Luffy smiled at her.
Koby's eyes shot wide at that before nodding and spotting something.
"Is that Zoro," he asked as he pointed to the island Luffy and Yamato had mentioned earlier.
Kuina then joined them, having spotted Zoro before sighing heavily.
"Captain, I can't explain," Kuina said as Luffy looked over to her with a raised brow, "Zoro's sense of direction is non-existent and the way he gets to plases can confuse the fuck out of you," She said with an even heavier sigh.
Luffy laughed. "Head to the Dog, and then you four head to the island; I'll head over to Zoro," he said as he got ready.
Kuina looked at him with a nod.
"Right," she said as she and Koby headed off before she stopped. "Wait, four, do you mean?" she asked as Yamato nodded.
"That's right, I'm part of your crew now," she said as they walked off to meet with Doll.
The three then turned to Luffy and saw that he was compressing his leggings like a spring ready to bounce.
"I'll see you over there," Luffy said before shooting off.
"So at lest there's another person with a Devil Fruit on the crew," Yamato said as Koby and Kuina turned to her.
"What," They asked her.
Zoro looked around before shaking his head, "Did the others get lost," He asked himself as he looked around for Luffy and the others.
"ZORO," the green-haired swordsman heard above him as he looked up to see Luffy flying towards him.
"Luffy, what are you doing up there," he asked his captain as the teen in the straw hat landed next to Zoro.
"Everyone elce was over there and we spotted you," Luffy said as he pointed to where he was just at.
Before they could talk more, a large group of men walked out carrying swords as they looked at the two, "Well look what we got here boys," One of them said as Zoro and Luffy looked at them.
"Who are these ass holes," Zoro asked board as he looked at the armed men around him.
"From what I was told, these men are kidnappers," Luffy said as he looked around before Zoro started unsheathing his swords.
"I see then let's show them what were made of," Zoro said as the men charged at them, with Zoro parrying their swords and Luffy punching anyone that got close to them.
Neither of them uses an ounce of their full strength in the fight.
Both crew mates worked in tandem with each other as Luffy punched someone away and jumped.
Zoro moved in and blocked the sword, heading for Luffy.
Then, I moved his sword as Luffy stretched his leg and kicked the man away from them.
"Luffy, can I get a leg up," Zoro asked as Luffy started to breathe and expand his body.
"Tatsu Maki," Zoro called out as he spun around in the air, making a twister and cutting up the people who tried to jump them.
"Gum-Gum Gatling," Luffy called out as he punched the men around him.
After the punches and cyclone finished, Zoro landed behind Luffy with his back to his captain.
"Who the hell are these two," a man asked as he started to shake and looked at Luffy and Zoro.
"There monsters," Another said as Zoro and Luffy looked at them.
But it seemed that the man was in for another shock.
As "Hel Hammer/Cherry Blossom Impact," Came the cries from above everyone as Koby and Doll, falling towards the ground with their fists cocked back, punched the ground.
When the double impact hit, most men flew back into the rock.
"Raimei Hakke," Yamato called out as she hit people with her club, knocking them away.
Kuina started to run up to them and slashed at the air, sending a thin blade of air at the target with a cry of, "Shinkū Budda-giri."
The five remaining men looked at the six pirates with dread settling in their stomachs as they looked at the six.
"Where are the people that you are holding the people you have kidnapped and are holding captive," Yamato asked as she banged her club on the ground.
"What makes you think we'll tell you bitch," One of them said before both Doll and Yamato walked up to them, and both of them started to transform.
Doll turned into her hybrid form while Yamato drew white fur over her skin, and her legs became dog-like paws, her hands balde clawed, her head was like that of a wolf as her hair became longer and untamed, as she gained a ribbon-like trail of cold air around her shoulders, and grow a large tail.
"I think these two dog-type Devil Fruit users will have something to say about that," Luffy said, smiling at him as he walked up before looking down at the man, "So tell me where they are, as I'm not going to ask a second time," he said.
The men saw a red light in Luffy's eyes, and the man started to shake.
The main one looked at Luffy.
But the man was frozen in fear, so Zoro walked up and put one of his swords under his chin.
"My captain asked you a question," Zoro said, adding to the intimidation.
Before he could intimidate the man more, they pointed up to a part of the rock with a large crack.
"Th-there up there," he said with a shaking voice as he looked at Luffy.
"So can we leave," the man asked him.
"No," Luffy said as he turned around and walked away.
He stopped at Zoro.
"Nice work, First Mate," Luffy said as Zoro smiled.
"No problem, Captain," Zoro said as he looked at the cold air around the middle hem of Doll's and Yamato's moth.
"Namuji Hyoga/Frozen Limbo," Both Yamato and Doll called out as they breathed out ice-cold wind that froze the men in lumps of ice.
"You can use ice as well," Yamato asked as she turned to Doll.
"Yes, but only this head can use ice when I'm in my half-human form," Doll's far-right head said as she pointed to the middle head.
Both women returned to their human forms as Luffy and the others looked up at the large rock.
"So how are we getting up there," Kuina asked as she started to look around before looking at the others.
Don't take your eyes off him, as he will disappear when you least expect it," she said, pointing at Zoro before walking around.
The swordsman muttered under his breath that he was not a child.
"So, Yamato, what can you do," Koby asked the horned woman.
"Well, I use my kanabo club, Takeru, and my Devil Fruit, a mythical zoan type Devil Fruit, the Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Okuchi no Makami, that gives me the power over ice," She said as Koby nodded.
"That sounds handy to have," Zoro said as he looked at her.
"And you're like Doll, a mythical dog," he added.
"Wolf actualy," Yamato told him as he nodded.
Before more could be said, Kuina came back.
"I found the way up," she said as the others followed her.
Koby watched Zoro and made sure he was going the right way.
Then, she led them to stairs cut into the stone.
The six of them climbed the stairs as Koby looked around.
"Why did they take the people from the town," he asked as Yamato looked at him.
"When a wants pirate retires, no matter the age, will want to start a family or if they have one, they find a place where their family can live without the Marines accusing the child of being evil for being born from pirates and having the child imprisoned or killed on sight," She explained to Koby who looked sick like Zoro and Kuina who looked at Doll.
"Did that really happen," Kuina asked her.
"Yes, but only by the people who preach Absolute Justice, otherwise known as most of the ones in the book I showed you," Doll explained with a shake of her head before looking to Luffy, who nodded, "They even did it with Gol D Roger's son," she said as everyone stopped.
"The man who was King of the Pirates has a son," Koby asked; he looked at Doll.
"Yes, but the Marines did not want the child to live, so every pregnant woman they found from that year was given a choice: abort the baby or be killed," Doll said as Kuina and Yamato looked sick, "But the woman who was pregnant with his son, performed a miracle and somehow manged to key her son in her whome for twnety months," She added as everyone looked amazed before Luffy stopped and closed his eyes.
"Someone inside is faking being captured," Luffy said.
Everyone, bar Doll, looked at him confused before Koby slammed his hand into an open palm.
"You can sense freedom from people, and with everyone in that cave having there freedom taken from them," Koby started.
The others looked amazed as they began to walk into the cave and let Luffy walk in first.
And they all saw that it was full of people, but Luffy started to walk past people, and with each person he passed, they made sure that they cut the rope binding them.
"There's someone," A woman said, but Doll touched her shoulder.
"We, know and we got this," She told her as she watched her captain's hand snap to a woman on his right and threw them to Doll.
"That her, she's the one who bound out," the woman said as everyone else got to free everyone.
After a few hours, everyone was back with their family. Luffy and his crew were back on the Dog, setting sail with Kuina at the helm and Doll training Koby on the main deck, Zoro also training on the main deck, Luffy asleep on the bow, and Yamato was on the bottom deck with a journal that she had started to use as the log book.
She looked at the quill she had for a little bit before she opened the journal and started to write, "It started when our captain ate...," She began to write.
Over on a distant island, two men stood in a circus tent. One of them looked at the man in a chair.
"I'm sorry, captain, but that woman has escaped our shearch once more," one of them said as the man in the chair laughed.
"Well, she is a Zoan-type user, and we got paid by her former boss," the man in the chair said as the sun hit him, showing that he was dressed as a clown with blue hair.
"We'll find her and when we do we can call him to get her," The clown said before he started to cackel with dragned laughter.
Moving around silently was a young woman of relatively tall height, with a light complexion whose hair reaches near her mid-back and forms rounded locks mainly blue in colouration but with thin, pink-coloured streaks running through (plus a single white one over her left eye) with Blunt bangs fall on her forehead, split near the left, and an ahoge stands up on her head and a pair of horns on her head, they were sharp, upward-curving and emerged from the sides of her head, white in colour, that resembles a bull's.
Her eyes are large, round, fringed by long lashes, and encompass violet irises.
Up to the nose, her lower face is covered by a pink mask with a scalloped edge trimmed with a white stripe.
She also wore a long-sleeved white minidress that was pleated above the waist.
Below the point collar, a blue bow was attached to the minidress.
The dress's lower, light-blue, and non-pleated section, with a button placket in the middle, ends in a short skirt part that has a slightly ruffled hem, leaving most of her legs visible.
Her footwear is red high heels.
"These bastards, there working with Kido," She muttered as she looked into the centre of the town, "I'm coming Yamato, and then together we'll avange Pay-Pay," She said as she moved her body in a stiff moment as a section of the wall of a house opened up for her as she repeated the stiff movement as the hole she made closed up.
Now, for the people who are wondering why I have been using Female pronouns for Yamato, the reason is that Oda himself has not said that Yamato is a woman who uses Male pronouns.
Yes, in the story, she says that she goes by he/him but Oda has not said that Yamato is, and there has Yamato's Vivre Card databook explicitly labels Yamato as female in contrast with another transgender character Kikunojo who was labelled as "Male (Woman at Heart)" (Yes I did take this from the Wiki) so I have made Yamato in this story female.
