Hello, welcome to a new chapter. I hope you enjoy it.
It took more than 2 weeks to write, but it was worth it. Also, I have some BIG ideas for the future, so stay around for that.
On the Sea
The crew was playing a game famous for ending up in the world as an anomaly. The game was called UNO, but the name changed to UNO PIECE to gain more sales worldwide.
"GOD DAMIT ZORO," said Nami as she got +4 from Zoro. Zoro gave a slite chuckle. He now had one card remaining.
"don't be too cocky Zoro," Said Valac, giving a slight psychopathic smile.
Kirito does his turn but still has 8 cards left due to Nami's greed in trying to win. Sukia goes but draws a card, with her now having three cards.
"I win," said Valac as he put down a +4, which gets Nami pissed by the dirty trick but also surprised she didn't think of that.
"Get me out of these chains; I'm so tired," said Luffy.
"YOU ALMOST KILLED US ALL," said everybody. "But I can't use my devil fruit," said Luffy.
"Yeah, sea prism stone is a pain in the ass to deal with. So next time, don't try to kill us all," said Valac, who remembers Luffy raging at the game they were playing.
"Your supernatural luck doesn't work in this game, huh?" said Kirito, knowing how lucky Luffy is.
"Kirito, your supernatural charisma doesn't work on Nami because she is a witch, stuff doesn't work all the time," said Valac snarkily which Nami Responded by hitting him in the head multiple times while Zoro was laughing his ass off.
...
After the game was done, Valac released Luffy from his restraints.
"Where did you get the sea stone cuffs?" said Nami.
"While you were robbing the Navy base in Shells Town, I went to go free Kirito and grabbed a pair just for keepsakes," said Valac.
"I SEE AN ISLAND," said Sukia, who was looking through a binocular.
"Alight, we can finally get our ship," said Luffy.
"Hold on for a moment they might be scared because of Buggy's flag," said Valac.
"We can just stop at the low end of the shore," said Zoro.
Both of the ships arrived at the shore, and everyone got off the ship.
"So what is the place called?" said Kirito, who looked up at the trees while the wind blew.
"It is called Syrup Village; It's not known really for anything," said Nami, while Zoro was getting ready to sleep and Sukia was playing in the sand.
However, Valac and Luffy saw one figure on a little mountain hiding behind a tree and three other people. "Be careful; we are being watched," said Zoro.
Before Zoro could say anything, small rocks were shot at Valac and Luffy, but they dodged as if it were second nature. One of the small rocks hit Valac's arm, but he did not feel anything. while Nami and Sukia ran to the ship to hide.
"HAHA, I AM USOPP, THE LEADER OF THE INVINCIBLE NATION OF PIRATES WHO REIGN OVER THIS ISLAND." Said Usopp, but Valac cut him off.
"You just have your slingshot ass and three little kids who are pretending they are foot soldiers," said Valac in a cold, unimpressed tone.
"Yeah, I can see four presences with my limited observation," said Luffy, who could see the figures just a little distorted as well as Valac.
During this talk, the three kids ran away, scared of their lives and that pirates were going to kill them.
"Now all is revealed," said Nami, amused that it was a ruse.
"I'm warning you, they call me proud, Usopp, for a reason," said Usopp, hesitating while holding his slingshot nervously.
"If you're going to draw your pistol, you have to act on it," said Luffy, with Valac, Zoro, and even Kirito understanding it. Valac's legs turn into shadowy-like lighting and then hits the ground five times and is right next to Usopp in a single blink of an eye.
"What up? Are you going to fire or just another lie because you sure are taking too long?" said Valac. Valac moved so fast that Usopp passed out of shock. Nami was stunned by the speed, not even being able to see him. Zoro smiled as he barely saw him move at immeasurable speed. Kirito was stunned but also interested in how he moved. Sukia was hiding behind Nami, scared as usual. Luffy just laughed like he usually did.
...
After some time Luffy, Valac, Zoro, Kirito, Nami, Sukia, and Usopp enter a restaurant to eat. While eating Luffy talks about Usopp's dad and what they were doing here.
"Do you know anyone in this village who sails a ship or can afford to build a big ship?" said Nami.
"Well, can you see this is a tiny village, and what would you need a big ship for?" said Usopp.
"The grand line," said Luffy casually, which shocked Usopp. "YOU CAN'T GO THERE. ARE YOU GOING TO DIE? I mean, BUGGY CREW JUST GOT WIPED OUT," said Usopp, pulling out a newspaper.
Flipping through the pages, a bounty poster falls out of the newspaper. "Huh, what is this?" said Usopp. Then his face turned to horror as he realized what it was. "Monkey... D. Luffy... worth... 20,000,000 beli."
Luffy was celebrating his bounty. "I GOT MY FIRST BOUNTY!" Screamed Luffy, but Nami covered his mouth. "ARE YOU TRYING TO GET US KILLED?"
The restaurant owner looks up, from his newspaper, at them suspiciously but decides to go back to reading the recent news as he has the same newspaper.
"Let me see this," said Valac, taking the paper from Usopp, who looked like he was about to die from shock.
"Ok, normal so far besides that drawing of Luffy... oh shit, we might have a problem," said Valac.
"What could be the problem?" said Kirito.
"Well, it's that fact that a Fairy Tail Guild symbol stamps on the bounty," said Valac, who was sweating.
" Wait people can be drawn on bounty posters? Wait, what does a guild symbol mean?" said Nami.
"for the drawings, that means the Marines haven't seen your face yet so that is a good thing as old, young, stupid, or poor eyesight will be fooled," said Valac.
"Oh, I see, but that means we should be still fine," said Nami
"Aw, so they don't know me yet," said Luffy with a depressing tone "Yeah," said Valac
"When I was a bounty hunter, I heard rumors of these bounty guilds putting stamps on targets. The idea is simple: if a bounty hunter captures the wanted person, it allows the individual to join the guild. An invitation to a group or guild for jobs and also bounty hunting parties. Also apparently that gets funding but I don't know where?" explained Zoro.
"Wow, I didn't know there was so much to bounty hunting," said Kirito and Sukia.
"So why are you guys... in trouble?" said Usopp.
"Simple, Fairy tail. It's one of the largest and most powerful guilds. They are also known to use magic a lot," said Valac.
"Magic, I thought that was a MYTH," said Usopp, just realizing what he got himself into with befriending these people. However, Usopp remembered he had to meet up with someone later that day.
"I just remembered I have something to do; see you later." Usopp ran off somewhere in a worried tone.
"Should we follow him?" said Kirito. "Nah, let's keep eating I'm still not full yet." Said Luffy sucking up all the food as if he were a black hole. "Why was he in such a rush?" thought Nami.
a few minutes later. Three little kids arrived to confront the people that Usopp met on the beach.
"THE USOPP PIRATES HAVE ARRIVED," said the three little kids. "Oh, the kids on the beach," said Valac.
"Hey, where is our captain?" said one of the three kids. while Luffy was rubbing his tummy. "Ah, that was the best meat I ever had," said Luffy.
"Don't tell me," said one of the kids. "We ate him," said Zoro and Valac, with Kirito giving a small laugh.
"OLD HAG..." said the three boys seeing Nami "I'M NOT A HAG," said Nami
"You guys are evil; it's a joke," said Sukia.
When the three boys saw her, all their fear was drained in the hope of being the ones to ask her out. "Would you care?" said the boys, but Sukia rejected all of them. All the boys became depressed.
"Hey, do you know where Usopp might be?" said Kirito, and the boys bounced up out of their depression.
Manor (a few minutes earlier)
Usopp was sneaking around the bushes to find the secret entrance to the mansion's front yard.
...
Inside the mansion, the window shows a sickly girl with blond hair and a beautiful maid with blue hair.
"Oh, come on, you know I like him, Rem," said a sickly girl lying in bed while Rem was preparing some food and water.
"I don't know Usopp is just a trouble-making liar, Kaya," said Rem coldly, with her not liking Usopp at all.
"Oh, come on, he is not that bad," said Kaya, who was coughing due to her sickness. "You know I'm just looking out for you; I owe my life to my parents and what they did for me." Said Rem, looking back on the time Kaya's parents took her in.
"Remember, I don't like liars," said Rem, who was agitated but calmed down and maintained herself as she left Kaya's room. Even though Rem knew that she helped Kaya's depression, Usopp cured it, and truly, she hated liars even though she had lied before, but she couldn't deny what made her feel better.
A rock hits Kaya's window, which causes Kaya to jump in excitement.
...
(present)
"Oh, so he lies for a good cause," said Kirito.
"Never heard of that," said Zoro
"Alright, let's go ask for a ship," said Luffy, who was excited and grabbed onto the fence, ready to launch himself over the fence.
"What... is... he?" said the three boys. "I know, right," said Sukia.
"Hold him down," said Nami. Everyone tried to hold down Luffy but failed as Valac, Kirito, Zoro, Nami, Sukia, and the three boys went flying.
...
Kaya was enjoying her time with Usopp, telling tall tales, until she saw people fall from the sky.
Luffy, Valac, and Zoro land on the concrete. while Nami and Kirito land in the grass. Sukia and the three boys land in the bushes.
"Man, that didn't work that well," said Luffy.
"NO SHIT," said everyone besides Sukia and the three boys who didn't know any swear words.
"Are you guys okay?" said Kaya. "Who are they, Usopp?"
"Oh, they're my new recruits for the Usopp pirates," said Usopp, lying through his teeth and not wanting to recruit monsters.
"Do you know where we can find a ship..." said Luffy, but all of a sudden someone attempted to attack Luffy, but, blocked the attack and threw it away. The three kids and Sukia hid behind Nami.
"DON'T HIDE BEHIND ME," said Nami, who was scared of the girl in front of her.
"What are you doing here, pirate?" said Rem, recognizing him from his recent bounty poster even though it was drawn.
"I just wanted a ship," said Luffy. "We came up here to find out if there is a person who can build or buy a ship," said Valac.
"No, you can't get any good ships here in a short time frame; I do recommend Log Town," said Rem.
"Sorry, marines are usually there. If we stay there more than a day, we have a high chance that we will be chased into the grand line," said Valac.
"Well, we have to get a ship; we can't just stay in two little boats," said Nami.
"We might have a ship that can fit seven crew members, but I assume that's not enough," said Rem.
"yeah, we need a bigger ship as we have six members, probably able to hold fifteen people as we might get new crew members in the future," said Valac.
"Even for a pirate ship, that is small," said Rem in shock.
"Well, we are looking for a strong crew, not a numbers crew," said Luffy with a smile.
Rem starts thinking about and deciding what to do.
"I will talk with my colleagues, then I will decide what to do," said Rem.
"We're getting a SHIP," screamed Luffy. "Dumbass, we don't know yet; come on, we got to train our crew members haki," said Valac.
...
Nami and Sukia went into the village to grab supplies for the trip ahead. Luffy and Valac teach Zoro and Kirito Haki and try to teach them observation haki as it was easy and simple to learn but hard to master.
"So, I assume Haki takes a while to learn," said Kirito, who was tired after the brutal training.
"I won't lie when I say this is not some easy training," said Zoro.
"It's not. We barely know how to use it, but we know we have. Though we have little haki, enough to predict some people and hit logia-type devil fruits," said Valac.
"What are logia devil fruits?" said Kirito. " A type of Devil Fruit that is more annoying than you can imagine," said Valac.
"Do you think Rem will build a ship for us?" said Kirito.
"Yes, I trust her," said Luffy with a wide smile.
When the four of them are walking back to the village, they see a bunch of people in the tree line now running towards the village.
"Not good, Pirates," said Valac. People started screaming pirates, which caused panic. The four ran to fight the pirates to defend the civilians.
Kirito and Zoro cut down many pirates until a fisherman came into view. while Luffy and Valac stay back to defend any pirates from attacking the village.
"WOAH, WHAT ARE YOU?" said Kirito, who had never seen a fishman. "Not surprised, you pathetic human; I'm what is called a fishman, we are ten times stronger than a human," said the fishman. Kirito blocked the fisherman's attack with his sword but was sent back a couple of feet.
"Crap, he's strong as hell," thought Kirito while thinking of a way to beat him.
"Zoro I will take him; get the two big cats," said Kirito, which caused Zoro to look amused.
...
The Mansion
A man walked up to a butler, who looked like a sheep, of the manor who was bleeding.
"Tell me where the girl is," said the tall man wearing a pirate captain coat with some fancy pirate clothes. "Never, and like you ever get past Rem," said the sheepman.
"HAHA, did you forget who you're talking to? You're talking to Captain Kuro," said another man who was standing behind him with a black hat and black clothes.
Kuro was about to kill the sheepman when a frail weapon went flying past him, hitting the wall, and then came back to the owner.
"Ah, I see. Corha, take care of her," said Kuro. "My pleasure," said Corha, running toward Rem.
Syrup Village (Battlefield)
Nami arrived to help, while Zoro took on the cat brothers; Luffy was taking on a weird dog man; Valac and Kirito were each fighting a fisherman.
"Shit, this guy is annoying," said Kirito. Then Kirito sees the rest of the straw hats done taking out their opponents. Kirito pulls out his second sword and attacks him with a duel slash, making the fishman unconscious.
"Ok, is that all of the annoying pirates?" said Zoro. "Yeah, they're not even strong; they're so weak," said Luffy, getting mad that the East Blue Pirates aren't anything special.
"What a pity," said Nami. "These guys could take down fishman; could they take down the Arlong pirates?" thought Nami.
However, a loud bang can be heard from the manor. Valac looked up at the manor to see an explosion and realize what was happening.
"Crap a diversion. Hey, I will head up to the manor; is that alright, Luffy?" said Valac. "that's alright," said Luffy, who was currently tying up some pirates.
The Mansion
Rem was fighting Corha while protecting the butler of the manor.
Rem was using magic to fight Corha. "HOW DO YOU KNOW MAGIC? YOU'RE JUST A MAID IN THE WEAKEST SEA," said Corhain shocked, who was on the ground with some blood gushing out of the lower left side of his body with a blood-tinted ice shard.
"You don't deserve to know," said Rem as she finished the final blow with her frail, killing him on impact.
"HELP ME REM," said Kaya, yelling for her. Rem ran upstairs to where the scream was coming from and came upon a dark scene. Usopp was on the ground struggling to stay conscious while bleeding from the chest. while Kuro was holding Kaya with his sharp blades in his hands.
"So why don't you be a nice maid and drop your weapons?" said Kuro, who was smirking. "Rem, my life is not worth it; just please save the village," said Kaya.
"NO, MY JOB IS TO PROTECT YOU," said Rem, who was ready to attack with her ice magic.
"Don't try anything, Rem," said Kuro, whose blades were closer to Kaya's neck.
"I... Won't... Let... you... hurt... her," said Usopp, who was standing up.
"HAHA, LIKE YOU CAN DO ANYTHING," said Kuro. "You're just a pathetic little boy who wants to save a girl."
"I WILL BECOME A WARRIOR OF THE SEAS AND WILL NOT LET YOU KILL MY VILLAGE," said Usopp with all of his pride.
"Oh, I see, well, should I start with your little girlfriend?" said Kuro as he started choking Kaya. Rem reacted by throwing an ice shard at Kuro's head, but let go of Kaya and dodged. Kuro counter-attacked by stabbing his claws into Rem's body.
Rem landed on the ground, bleeding a large amount, but still conscious.
"How pathetic, using magic rather than your raw strength. Now it's time to kill you all," said Kuro as he was about to kill Kaya but Valac arrived. "Finger pistol," said Valac as he jammed his finger into his body and pushed him back, bleeding.
"That hurt; it nearly hit my heart," said Kuro. "So you're the captain," said Valac.
"Yes, I'm the captain of the Black Cat Pirates, Kuro, I'm tired of you dam brats getting in my way. Shakushi" said Kuro
Kuro disappeared, and claw marks started appearing on the wall. "Get out of here. It's too dangerous, agh," said Valac as he got a cut on the right side. Rem and Usopp get cut while running away, but lucky Kaya is unharmed besides a few scrapes.
Valac focuses on pinning where Kuro is with his limited observation haki. then he sees where his movement might be.
"Iron Body," said Valac as Kuro's blades broke. Then Valac grabbed Kuro's face and used his devil fruit. "Acheron Hole," Valac electrocutes and smashes Kuro down through the floor, making him unconscious.
"Good, I'm tired," said Valac while holding his wound.
...
After some time, Kirito and Valac capture the surrounding pirates while the rest of the crew helps the injured.
The Mansion (later)
"Usopp and Rem, I'm sorry," said Kaya, crying.
"Don't blame yourself; they fought hard to save you," said Luffy with a smile, which got Kaya's mood up.
"So, are they going to be okay?" said Sukia. "Yes, they will be okay," said Nami.
"What happened here?" said Zoro.
"According to Valac, these pirates planned to attack the town and use it as a distraction to take all the money from Kaya," said Nami.
Rem starts opening her eyes and then starts talking, "Thank you, Luffy, for saving our village."
"Shishi, no problem," said Luffy with a wide smile. Usopp also starts opening his eyes. "USOPP!" yelled Kaya as he hugged him and cried in happiness. "you're ok,"
"It's ok, Kaya, I'm fine. I did what was necessary to protect you," said Usopp.
Luffy's stomach growled. "MEAT," said Luffy.
"Yeah, I'm hungry after that long fight," said Zoro. "I'm hungry too," said Sukia in her little voice.
"Fine, hungry pigs," said Nami, but her stomach grumbled. "Oh yeah, hungry pigs," said Sukia, Luffy, Zoro, and Rem.
Then the Manor's main door slammed open while a panting Kirito Ran in
"GUYS, WE GOT TROUBLE," yelled Kirito.
Luffy, Zoro, and Nami run down starts while Sukia and Kaya stay upstairs, not wanting to get in the middle of it.
"What happened now? Don't tell me the Marines are here," said Nami.
"Not only that but as well as two of the Fairy Tail members," said Kirito.
Marine Ship (A few minutes earlier)
"Gray, I thought we were supposed to be going to Logtown," said Natsu.
"do you have a short-term memory or something; we need to capture some pirates to become S-class so we can go to the grand line," said Gray.
"But did we do that already?" said Natsu.
"No, because Erza and Vatron captured them, I heard from some reports that the Kuro Pirates are near this island," said Gray.
"But why are we on a marine ship?" said Natsu.
"Because we would run out of medication due to your motion sickness," Gray said.
"Oh yeah," said Natsu, who was now on the ground from the motion sickness, the medicine worn off. Then Gray gave more medicine to Natsu.
"Dumbass," said Gray. "Who is calling a dumbass, Huh?" said Natsu.
"Ah, shit, they're the go at again," said one of the Marines.
After some time the marine ship arrives at Syrup Village
...
The Syrup Village residents were on the shore with the captured pirates.
"So civilians, what do you need help with?" said a marine.
"We captured these pirates," said one of the villagers. pulling out the Black Cat pirates, who were tied while the fishmen were in chains.
"Daddy what about the other pira..." said a young girl one of the adults covered her mouth and the adult said "Oh nothing a few travelers pass by to get some things,"
"Oh ok, Hey, get 18,000,000 belies." said the Marine who didn't really think he was telling the truth but still didn't really care as he wasn't paid enough to do this job and was tired.
"That much, ugh," said another Marine who brought out the money. However, Natsu jumped down from the ship to see if pirates were there.
"Where are the pirates?" said Natsu, ready to fight, but then looked at the tied-up pirates. "Come on, why is there no one to fight," said Natsu whining about not getting any action.
"Stop whining; it's late and I want to go to sleep," said Gray, pulling Natsu away.
However, then a marine saw a little ship on shore though it had a Buggy's flag it seemed to be crossed out. which immediately Causes Natsu to say "YOU GUYS ARE LYING SOMEONE IS HERE,"
Natsu's words shocked the villagers. So they lied by saying that the ship was full of civilians who escaped the buggy pirates.
"come on Natsu we have to go," said Gray who was getting tired of Natsu's antics, even though Natsu could smell a similar scent nearby from Buggy ship due to his devil fruit.
"If Valtron or Erza get mad I putting the blame on you," said Natsu
after the Marines and two Fairy Tail members left, The village celebrated with money and their savors that they were hiding from the Marines.
...
"It's clear," said one of the villagers. Then five figures popped out of the bushes from the top of the cliff.
"Dam, that was a close one," said Valac "YEAH WHY DID WE HAVE TO BE SO CLOSE TO THE MARINES," said Nami
"Because, just in case they attack the civilians, sometimes they are known to do that," said Zoro
"Thank you for saving us; we are in debt to you," said one of the villagers, handing over the 18,000,000 belies to Nami with money eyes. Until Luffy turns down the money, which causes Nami to...
"LUFFY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING, GUYS? YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THAT IS," screamed Nami as she thought with this money she could free her village from Arlong.
"We would like to ask another favor," said Luffy, which Nami was being held back by Valac and Kirito so as not to murder Luffy. "We like a big ship."
"Oh, we can do that," said the villagers, who told the rest of the village what they were doing for these pirates' saviors.
(5 days later) Logue town
Natsu and Gray arrived at Logue town to turn the Kuro pirates into the Marines and to meet with Erza and Valtron.
"Great job Natsu and Grey for assisting in the capture of those pirates," said Valtron
"It was no big deal I mean we didn't even..." said Natsu But Gray shut his mouth. "Natsu meant to say that it was easy dealing with those pirates," said Gray
"Uh-huh, sure," said Erza looking at them suspiciously. "Anyways we should be heading back to the Magic Center to take them back to the Fairy Tail Guild in the West Blue for Makarov to allow you to be S-class," said Valtron
"I will stay here in Logue Town to try to capture any pirates, for the extra cash," said Erza
"You will miss out on the party," said Valtron. "don't worry, I will be back eventually," said Erza
"I would say soon and we got a new member of the guild," said Valtron
"That's nice I hope to meet them soon," said Erza giving a kiss and walking off.
Valtron, Natsu, and Gray went to the Magic Center to be teleported back to The West Blue.
Syrup village
The ship was built from the ground up and took four days to be completed by the 50+ inhabitants of Syrup Village. Rem gave the ship plans to the villagers to make it a big ship.
"Look at our ship," said Luffy. "I know it's so big," said Kirito. "Some training space for once," said Zoro, who was lifting a giant tree for training.
"Wow," said Sukia, looking at the size of the ship.
"Finally, proper space," said Valac. "I'm still going to kill him for not giving me those berries," thought Nami.
"So, Rem, are you leaving this island with them?" said Kaya. "Yeah, I want to go out and find someone," said Rem. "Also, Usopp wants to join them because of his dream got to make sure he doesn't get himself killed."
"HEY," said Usopp who was reasonably mad over the comment
"WHAT? THEN I WILL BE ALONE AND BORED," said Kaya, who had a depressed look but then had a bright idea. "What if I join?"
"I'm sorry, but it is...," said Rem, but someone interrupted their conversation. "She can join," said Luffy, who happened to overhear it. "I can be of use; I know a lot of remedies due to me attempting to cure my illness," said Kaya.
"But Kaya, you can't it way too dangerous on the sea for you," said Rem
"Danger is everywhere in this world, Rem, and Usopp won't be alone on this journey," said Valac which made Usopp a little embarrassed, but Kaya hugged him.
...
(Later at night.)
Luffy was eating dinner with Kirito, Zoro, and Sukia. While Rem and Kaya pack their stuff up to leave the island, Usopp is sitting with the three kids who were his friends, telling him goodbye while they were crying. Valac was currently following Nami due to a suspicion he had.
(Flashback 2 days ago)
Luffy, Valac, Zoro, Kirito, Nami, Sukia, Usopp, and Kaya slept in the mansion while the ship was being built. Each of them had a room beside Nami, who slept with Sukia to keep the young girl company. Usopp and Kaya also slept together because of their feelings for one another.
However, Valac woke up due to a nightmare about 'that day.'
"Just a nightmare; I still remember that day as if it were yesterday," said Valac, who was sweating from his revelation. Then he heard a small but quiet voice coming from the kitchen.
"Who is that?" thought Valac as he stepped out of his room to check who it was. He walked to the kitchen to find Nami talking on a Den Den Muchi.
"Arlong, please," said Nami, who looked expressionless and sad on the inside.
"You know very well, I'm worried about you. I can't let you run around with some people who want to be pirates, especially one with a bounty," said Arlong.
"I will be home in a few weeks," said Nami. "Good, first kill the pirates in their sleep, then head back to Arlong Park," said Arlong.
Nami looks shaken, knowing she can't do that, as she hangs up the call and starts crying.
"I don't want to fucking do anything for you. Kill my only mother, take my village hostage, put me in a room to draw maps, and..." said Nami, but stopped at the last part, not even wanting to remember what he did that day. Valac had a dark look and then silently went back to his room to sink in the information that he heard.
(flashback ends)
Nami is looking into the night sky, deciding what to do with herself as she can't decide what to do. She had many thoughts about them, as she did believe that they couldn't beat Arlong because of his high bounty but also because of his crew members, who were also very strong.
"Nami," said Valac, which caused Nami to put her facade back up again.
"Hey Valac, what do you need?" said Nami.
"Tell me what is up with Arlong," said Valac, sitting down on a tree trunk and getting straight to the point. "Arlong, you mean the guy who rules the East Blue? I don't know anything about him," said Nami, who is now sweating.
"Stop lying; I know everything already," said Valac, which caused Nami to break down and look down. "STOP MESSING WITH PEOPLE'S PROBLEMS; YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND," screamed Nami.
"Don't worry, our captain will stop Arlong," said Valac. "Arlong will go down."
After this, Nami explains that her village was captured and she needs 100,000,000 million belies. She also explains why she doesn't want them to interfere.
"I see, we could try that compromise," said Valac
...
Valac and Nami returned to where Luffy and the rest of the crew were eating, and Usopp, Kaya, and Rem returned to eat. Valac explains the situation to the crew, which causes them to get a little tense and mad.
"So Arlong is holding an entire village hostage," said Zoro. "I heard rumors that crews hired fishermen to fight for them, and the money goes to Arlong," said Rem.
"Why say that? I never heard of that," said Usopp. "I don't think that is true. I think some Arlong fishermen left after some incident, but I don't know what that is. All I know is that one of his five commanders was defeated by another pirate," said Valac. "He values his men over humans; that is what I know."
"Hey, Luffy, what do you think we should do?" said Kirito, who didn't know anything that they were talking about.
"How about we go kick that guy's ass?" said Luffy with a smile. "Yep, Luffy, as usual," said Zoro with a smirk.
"That should be our last option. How about we do the Nami 100,000,000 beli option?" said Kaya.
...
"We also need a cook because of Luffy's black hole," said Valac. "Yeah, no shit," said everyone beside Sukia.
"What about me? I don't want to end up in this scuffle. I'm only nine years old," said Sukia. "Good point. All right, I think I have a plan," said Kirito.
"Surprising for an anomaly," said Valac, who was impressed. He was keeping up with this information. "Wait, HE IS AN... AN ANOMALY," screamed Usopp and Kaya while Rem looked in shock but didn't say anything. "Huh, so those are real too," said Nami.
...
In the end, the crew decided on a plan. The first was to return Sukia to Tika Island, and the second was to get a cook. Finally, go to Arlong Park and decide what to do there. After two hours of planning, the crew was tired, so they decided to rest.
...
(Next Morning)
The crew woke up to get ready to do what they usually do. For the past five days, they have been training their strength and skill, while Kaya mostly used remedies to help with some injuries. They were training mostly in ways to unlock haki but, more importantly, to get stronger for the grand line. At noon, the citizens of Syrup Village show up to surprise them with their new ship.
"Wow, it's amazing," said Luffy with eyes like stars. "It's pretty sizeable for training," said Zoro.
"We call it the 'Going Merry'," said the villager who was the leader of the project. "The Going Merry is 98 feet tall and 110 feet wide. It also has a large kitchen, a dining hall, a built-in restroom, an exercise room or training room, a medical room or experimental room, and a private room for the couples." The last part is said with a mischievous tone.
Usopp and Kaya were blushing over the last statement of the ship, while Zoro and Valac were laughing. Nami and Rem were just disgusted by how it was said. Luffy and Sukia had no understanding of what they meant. Kirito was silent but a little red because thoughts of Asuna appeared.
"Pervert," said Nami, hitting the man on the head with her stick. "Are there condoms too?" said Valac, and Nami also hit him on the head for saying that.
...
After Rem, Usopp, and Kaya move their belongings to the ship, they all say their farewells and start heading out to sea.
"NEXT STOP TIKA ISLAND," said Luffy. "Anyone wants to play some UNO PIECE," said Nami.
"So you can rob us," said Valac.
"SHUT UP," said Nami.
