I have this weird habit where I won't start writing the next chapter until I've published the first. Is that normal?
Anyway, I'm trying to improve my writing style to something I've been seeing in other fanfiction so I hope my skills are improving.
Another thing, I had decided to add in a fourth franchise to this series: DANGANRONPA!
Also, each chapter will cover about two/three episodes a chapter, due to One Piece having almost 1100 episodes at this point.
Another thing with the story I'm working on is where I'm implementing each character from My Hero Academia and Miraculous Ladybug. I mean, I have a good idea what characters will be in the Straw Hat Pirates, and who will be in the marines with Katsuki, but some ideas I'm curious if I should implement. So I'm gonna keep working on some ideas but will be working on them, if I have any ideas that I'm worried about I'll be sure to check in with y'all.
Chapter 2 - I'm Izuku!
With the whirlpool swirling off in the distance, a cruise ship was a safe distance away, until a deckhand dressed in all white noticed something tapping against the ship. Looking closer he sees it's a barrel.
"Must be one of the sake barrels that got tossed over by accident." He thinks to himself as he yanks it onto the ship.
Inside the ballroom, the guests dance to their heart's content. The people are free to relax since the sea has so few pirates to terrorize them. One of the party goers is an eighteen year old woman with short orange hair wearing a frilly dress who looks around in wonder. But that all ends when an alarm bell starts ringing before the ship suddenly shakes.
"What the hell?" Some of the guests wonder before one of them looks out the window.
"Pirate ship!" A crewmember shouts, with a view of a pink ship with heart covered sails and a Jolly Roger of a sideways skull and crossbones with a heart on the skull.
"The Alvida Pirates, damn." The Captain curses when he sees the ship. But while the guests panic, the orange haired girl just smiles. And the barrel rolls deeper and deeper into the ship. It lands at the feet of a girl who is shaking in terror. She has dark blue hair tied in a pair of pigtails, bluebell eyes with freckles along her nose and is dressed in a white shirt with sakura flowers across her chest with a gray blazer and pink jeans with ballerina slippers.
"Papa and Maman were right, the ocean's too dangerous!" She panics.
"The pirates are on board!" Someone outside shouts in terror. Sneaking around is the orange haired girl who swapped out her dress for a blue shirt and black bandana who is swinging on the ropes the pirates brought to sneak into their own ship.
"Okay, Marinette. Think…Think…" The blue haired girl says aloud, before she grabs the barrel that rolled by and tries to prop it in front of the door.
"Jeez, what's in this thing?!" Marinette grunts in effort.
"Might be sake."
"Probably." She grumbles before realizing that three of the pirates have already walked into the room. The bigger of the three picks up the barrel and sits it upright before trying to pry it open.
All of a sudden, the wood rips apart as a fist comes out of the barrel, and then a whole boy! The boy in a green vest and straw hat rises out with a loud yawn.
"What a great rest!" He shouts without a care in the world, especially since the big guy got hit square in the chin. He looks around in confusion for a second to find four people around him.
"Who are you guys?" He wonders.
"WHO ARE YOU?!" The two conscious pirates demand.
"Your friend's gonna catch a cold." He points out.
"YOU KNOCKED HIM OUT!" They scream at him. They charge at him with cutlasses, but the boy just elbows the blades, breaking the swords in half. Marinette looks on in wonder.
'How strong is this guy?' Her curiosity piqued.
"E-Excuse me, miss. I haven't eaten in a while. D-Do you know where I can find the kitchen?" He looks at Marinette sheepishly. The pirates run off taking their knocked out friend away by the wrists.
"Um, I'll try to lead you there," Marinette admits, "But those guys are with a big pirate group so I'd run before eating."
He sniffs the air before looking off in one direction.
"Storage room with lots of apples!" He exclaims before running off into the room. Marinette follows behind and sees him swallowing apples whole.
"Um, I'm Marinette by the way." She introduces herself, "Dupain-Cheng Marinette. And you are?"
"I'm Midoriya D. Izuku." He introduces himself, "Say, this isn't the ship that is leaving for Loguetown, is it?"
"N-No, we're heading for Baratie for a dinner party." Marinette explains, "Why do you wanna know?"
"I got a friend joining the marines in Loguetown." Izuku tells her, "Best friend aside he has an explosive personality, you'd know him when he talks. It'd be embarrassing if I wound up on a ship I didn't want to get on. I got a whole sea to explore before going to Loguetown. If I can find a boat to replace the one that got sucked into that whirlpool I'll make it."
"Izuku, I think a boat is the last of your concerns. There are pirates after all." Marinette warns.
"Not really. I'm a pirate myself."
Tilting her head in slow, robotic movements like a clock, she looks at the boy only two years older than her with enough terror that she goes pale.
"C-Could you repeat that?" She begs.
"I'm a pirate, who will someday be King of the Pirates." Izuku explains.
"W-Where's your crew?"
"Don't have one yet."
"And your ship?"
"Don't have that yet either."
Marinette stands up in terror and starts screaming.
"ARE YOU CRAZY?!" She shrieks, "Being King of the Pirates means going into a part of the Grand Line even the Four Emperors won't enter and find the greatest treasure of Wealth, Fame, and Power! The One Piece!"
"Yeah, that's the one plan I do have." Izuku nods.
"Can you do it?" She worries.
"It's not about if I can do it," The straw hat boy admits, "I want to do this. When I was a kid I wanted to be a hero, and a pirate saved my life ten years ago. So I made a promise to him I'd be a great pirate. If I die fighting for it, then I would die doing what I wanted."
The girl's eyes widened and thought to herself, 'That's kind of cool.'
"What about you? What's your dream Marinette?" Izuku's curiosity now piqued.
"W-Well, I want to be a fashion designer." She admits, "My parents owned this nice little bakery where they blended every style of desserts and treats since my papa's from the East Blue and my maman's from another sea. But one day I saw a fashion magazine and I started taking sewing classes, bought resin jewelry molds, if it's clothing I could make it. So I packed up my belongings and set out for the four seas to find some new technique or style and bring every fashion to every island."
In Izuku's eyes, he could swear he saw a ray of light shine down on her at the end and thinks to himself, 'Simple and clean, the best kind of wishes.'
All of a sudden the roof collapses and a giant woman comes crashing through. She has on a white cowboy hat with a feather on her black hair, red scarf around her neck (Which given how fat she is might just be her whole freckled head so there might not be a neck) a button up plaid shirt with an open coat, jeweled rings on each finger and a spiked iron mace in hand.
"All this worry over a shrimp like this?" She calls out her crew with a raspy voice, "And here I was thinking I'd be fighting one of the Yaoyorozu sisters."
"Did you just say Yaoyorozu?" Izuku's eyebrows rise.
"Men! Tell this twig who the most beautiful woman in the world is!" She demands.
"You are, Lady Alvida!" The men shout.
Izuku looks at Marinette in confusion before asking a stupid question.
"U-Um, Marinette, I don't want to be rude, but is this Alvida woman behind this fat lady?"
…Everyone's jaws drop while the pirate crew sweats and whispers among themselves.
"Oh man, he did not just say the F word?"
"Does he have a death wish?"
"There's a reason our ship has no mirrors, you dummy!"
Several crossing veins pop up on Alvida's face as she grit her teeth and charge at Izuku with an animalistic scream. Luckily he jumps out of the way.
"Hey, why are you so insulted? My mom put on weight over the years and she's quite lovely!" Izuku screams at her in confusion before scooping up Marinette bridal style and jumping out of the hole Alvida made.
"Cool you." Marinette blurts out, "I mean, so you cool. I mean-What is happening?! Why can't I talk straight?!"
Izuku puts her down before being chased by the pirates. But as he runs by a mast, he grabs onto it and doesn't let go, even as his arm stretches a good dozen feet. The sight disturbs the pirates enough that they stop chasing him. When they see him now running in place they start to panic when he stops and comes back at them like a…
"Gum-Gum…Rocket!" Izuku shouts as he launches himself at the pirates. Watching her men get knocked into a wall on the opposite side of the ship disturbs her. Marinette creeps up to him in worry.
"Izuku…What…What are you!?" She shrieks.
Grabbing his right cheek and pulling it far away he smiles.
"I'm a rubber man!" Izuku explains.
"A Devil Fruit eater. I don't think I've ever actually seen one." Alvida notes as the straw hat boy lets go of his cheek.
"Yeah, I accidentally ate the Gum-Gum fruit as a kid. I only remember it tasted pretty funny though." Izuku admits.
"You a bounty hunter?" Alvida asks.
"I'm a pirate. Just started." He nods.
"If you're a pirate and we're under a different flag that makes us enemies. Doesn't it?" She threatens.
"Not really. Rivals, maybe. But I don't think a lot of people need to be called enemies." Izuku explains.
"THAT WAS A RHETORICAL QUESTION YOU IDIOT! I'M GONNA SQUASH YOU LIKE THE BUG YOU ARE!" Alvida screams with more veins popping across her face. She swings down on her mace to the boy square on the head. But where lesser men would have their brains plastered over the beautiful girl he's been saving, Izuku was fine.
"That tickled." He chuckles and then stretches his fist dozens of feet away from the ship, and shouts, "Gum-Gum…Pistol!"
The punch sends Alvida blasting off into the horizon, Marinette ends up so shocked she falls to her knees before collapsing onto her butt, shaking like a leaf. Izuku looks at the dropped jaw pirates.
"Hey, I need a ship, something that can get me to the next island." He barks orders to them like a captain. But all of a sudden cannonballs splash into the water around the two ships. Looking to see Marine ships in the distance, he shrugs, "Well time to go."
He jumps into one of the boats as it drops into the water. But Marinette dives in as well.
"Hey, wait for me!" She begs. At the drop, the two look and see another boat, this one loaded with huge bags of gold and jewels with the orange haired girl at the helm, looking at them in surprise.
The two boats set off in different directions, with Izuku and Marinette just relaxing and looking at the clouds. But Izuku is curious about one thing.
"Hey, Marinette," His curiosity finally got to him, "Why are you on this boat with me?"
"I want you to go." She blurts out, "I mean, Grand Line to go. I mean…I want to go to the Grand Line with you. I'm not strong enough for the marines and there's no way I'd survive the Grand Line. But going with you, I might be able to go exploring as far as the eye can see. I know that sounds selfish-"
"Not at all." Izuku interrupts, "I want to find the One Piece to be King, that's pretty selfish. You're more humble than me. Though we still need a proper crew. Alvida mentioned the Yaoyorozu sisters. Who are they?"
"They're bounty hunters famous in this sea, Momo and Yui are their names, and they're the granddaughters of a famous pirate." Marinette explains, "Last I heard they were being held in a Marine prison. Why?"
"I'm gonna ask them to join." He admits, "I think I know who their grandfather is, believe it or not."
"I hope you're joking," Marinette begs, "Because I've heard stories of those two, how one holds three swords in each hand and one tucked under her knees and the other ate a Devil Fruit that makes her alter things, making them bigger or go faster."
Izuku thinks on it, before making a decision.
"Maybe they'll like me when I say I know a family member?" The Straw Hat boy decides.
Watching in the distance is Alix, gliding along the water on an inflatable rabbit that circles Izuku's small boat. But eventually the boat made it to a city rising out of a small island. Izuku's first instinct is to buy a pear from a vendor with a Berrie before asking a question.
"Excuse, I'm looking for the Yaoyorozu sisters-"
Everyone around him backs away in terror, but he just shrugs.
"Guess they must've terrified this place recently. Marinette, got any other ideas?" Izuku asks his new friend.
"Well…There is the commanding officer, Captain Morgan-"
Now the people are running, further confusing the two.
"Okay, scared of bounty hunters is one thing, but I've never seen people scared of the marines." Marinette worries.
"Yeah, something's wrong here." The new pirate notes.
Eventually the pair made it to the marine base at the center of the island, with a massive gate with the Marine logo of the wrench looking horizontal line that ends with wrench brackets with a symbol of either a geyser or a bird's wing sitting atop it. Izuku starts climbing up the brick wall and sees something.
"Hey, Marinette, the Yaoyorozu sisters are twins aren't they?" He asks.
"Y-Yeah, they actually are." Marinette answers, "How do you know that?"
"Because they're crucified at the front door."
Marinette climbs up to see for herself, and finds two girls tied up on separate ends of the yard. One has on a red vest that shows her impressive cleavage with a yellow skirt, her spiky black hair tied back in a ponytail while the other has a white tee with black pants and a red cap on her head. And they do have the same face, though eye color is hard to tell since they're asleep. But with the amount of dirt and grime on them it's obvious they have been here for a while now.
"What happened to them?" The designer asks with worry.
"None of your business, now beat it you eyesores." The one with the cap says with a glare.
All of a sudden, a ladder gets set up beside the two and they watch as a little girl with brown pigtails crawls to the other side on a rope before going up to the two sisters. Now the ponytailed girl wakes up.
"Why are you here?" She asks.
"I made some rice balls for you two." The little girl shows her picnic basket, "You haven't had anything to eat since you got tied up."
"Kid, we're not hungry." Hat girl tells her, "So go home to your parents now!"
"Now, now, nobody likes a bully." A smarmy voice calls out.
Everyone looks to see a lanky man with squinting eyes, a cleft chin, and a blonde bowl cut in a purple three piece suit with gold rings and necklace enters surrounded by marines before he continues.
"Yaoyorozu Momo, Yaoyorozu Yui if I didn't know any better I'd say you weren't handling this very well." He says before looking down at the girl, "What tasty looking rice balls."
He snatches one of them and takes a bite…Only for his face to turn blue and he starts spitting it out.
"Disgusting! You put too much sugar in it! They're supposed to be made with salt, you idiot!" He screams at the little girl.
"But I wanted them to be sweet." The girl defends with tears in her eyes.
The man grabs the last remaining rice ball and starts stomping on the two rice balls. The little girl is crying even harder now.
"How horrible." Marinette starts to cry herself now.
"Sorry, girlie, but you broke one of Captain Morgan's rules. 'Anyone supporting a criminal will be executed.'" Says the man as he watches the color leave the girl's face, "Good to know brats fear my daddy."
"Captain Morgan's son, huh." Izuku notes to himself.
The man looks at one of his marines, and gives an order.
"Toss this girl over the wall now." He demands, "Follow that order or report to my father for insubordination."
"Y-Yes sir!" The marine salutes with sweat forming across his face. He approaches the girl who screams in terror.
"Curl up in a ball, please." The marine tells her.
The girl is thrown and being the closest Izuku jumps up and grabs her with his elastic arms and cushioning the impact.
"Was that shit really necessary?" The girl with the cap asks.
"Are you two still dead set on staying alive?" The son of Morgan asks in between sneering laughter.
"That's right, and we can make it through the month with no problem. There's only ten days left after all." Ponytail girl promises.
"Good luck with that." The brat sneers.
While Marinette checks on the girl, Izuku climbs over to look at the two girls.
"Who is who?" He asks them, "I heard the names. Momo and Yui. So I gotta ask, who is who?"
"I'm Momo." The girl with the ponytail groans.
"And I'm Yui, now get going you weirdo." Hat girl threatens.
"Is your grandfather Yaoyorozu Hideyoshi?"
"Yes, but we haven't seen him in a few years now." Momo answers.
"I also heard one of y'all ate a Devil Fruit. Who was it?"
"I did. It was the More-More Fruit, now will you please piss off." Yui snarls.
Izuku turns to leave, before Momo becomes curious.
"Excuse me, if you don't mind, could you give me the rice ball?" She asks.
The two stare at her, with her sister speaking up.
"Sis, are you crazy? You shouldn't eat something stomped into the ground. Let me have that burden." Yui begs.
Her older sister shakes her head at this.
"That is a degradation I will not have my little sister endure." Momo explains.
"Then I'll share it with you." Her little sister promises.
Watching the two girls eat makes Izuku smile a little.
"What?" The older sister demands.
"You didn't want that girl to be hurt so that's why you kept telling her to leave. You two aren't so bad." He explains.
"Don't tell her anything, but we are grateful." Yui admits.
Izuku walks back into the town, finally seeing the place is called Shells Town after walking by a sign. He spots Marinette tending to the girl and walks over.
"Is she alright?" He worries.
"Yeah, you cushioned the impact so she doesn't have a scratch on her." She assures while patting the girl on the head, "So what did they have to say?"
"Well, they think I'm weird." Izuku admits before assuring the girl, "But they ate up all those rice balls. They just didn't wanna say thanks so you wouldn't get hurt."
The girl starts to tear up with a smile on her face at this.
"If you don't mind me asking," Marinette begins to wonder, "Who are you and why were you trying to feed those girls. Aren't they enemies of the Marines?"
"My name is Rika," She introduces herself, "And they aren't bad people. Those two are in trouble because of me. You see, Helmeppo is Captain Morgan's son as he likes to say. And whatever he wants he gets. So when he got a wild wolf for a pet, he let the wild animal loose on us."
Watching her eyes go dull, Izuku can tell she's still hearing the screams of terror as that animal was let loose before she continues, "It came into my mama's restaurant and almost bit me until Momo, the one with the swords cut the monster up. When Helmeppo tried to order the Marines to fight, Yui threw pebbles at them crazy fast. When Helmeppo was screaming Momo would punch him for interrupting their lunch."
"I like those two even more now!" Midoriya shouts with an eager smile.
"You have me worried for you, Izuku." Marinette groans.
"But when Helmeppo threatened to have his daddy burn the restaurant down for their actions they turned themselves in. If they can remain tied up like that for a month, nobody will be hurt. That was three weeks ago. And Helmeppo kicks at them every chance he gets, it's not fair!" Rika finishes her story as she starts to cry again.
Izuku crouches down and puts a hand on her shoulder, making her stop.
"How about this? My mom owns a restaurant too so I know how to work, so why don't I help her out as a part timer and then I'll help them out. Deal?" He offers.
All of a sudden they hear a crash and go to check it out.
"That's my mom's restaurant!" Rika cries out.
Looking inside, they see Helmeppo surrounded by marines propping his feet up on the restaurant table.
"I'm hungry. Bring whatever you've got and keep the check for yourself." He orders a woman, "And bring us a bottle of whatever moonshine you've got that qualifies for a drink."
Izuku walks inside, and in the corner he sees familiar auburn hair, but he focuses on listening to the brat.
"Now then…What should I do to pass the time? If I were desperate I'd see if either one of those Yaoyorozu sisters would be my girlfriend, but those wasted beauties aren't worth the effort." He drones on before getting an idea, "But…Executing them now? That sounds fun!"
Hearing his laughter made Izuku's eyes widen, and he forms a fist in his right hand, before he runs right up to him and punches him square in the face!
Helmeppo was sent right into the wall with his drink spilled everywhere. And he starts to cry.
"Y-You just hit me!" He accuses Izuku.
"Thanks for stating the obvious!" Izuku snarls at him like a beast, held back by Marinette, "What kind of scum are you to go back on your words!?"
"You actually hit me! I'm Captain Morgan's Son!"
"Say it one more time and maybe the Candy Man will come!" Izuku warns him.
"Worry more about yourself, punk!" Helmeppo screams at him, "My dad's gonna execute you!"
Izuku stops squirming and actually looks offended.
"Fight your own fights! You're a man, aren't you?" Izuku questions, "Is your answer to everything really gonna be your dad? He's not even an Admiral!"
"Is this really a good idea, Izuku?" Marinette whispers, "I know pirates are hunted by the Marines, but do you really wanna be enemies this quickly?"
"Doesn't matter. Momo and Yui are gonna be a part of my crew now." He promises, not caring, that Helmeppo ran away.
Back at the marine base, Momo and Yui continue to be strung up, staring at the clouds.
"Which one do you think Kuina-Chan is watching us from?" Momo asks in curiosity.
Yui looks up before pointing with her nose at one of the clouds.
"That one, it looks the right size for her to fight two dozen samurai." Yui somberly admits.
"Hey, Kuina-Chan, if you're listening don't hold your breath! We're not dying yet!" Momo shouts at the cloud.
"Who's Kuina-Chan?"
The two look up to see Izuku standing before them again and groan.
"You again?" The older sister Momo complains.
"Can't you take a hint?" The younger sister Yui snaps.
"I'll untie you if the two of you join my crew. I could use a first mate and a swordswoman." He offers.
"Are you a pirate? If so, then forget it. Like hell we'd end up on the wrong side of the law." Momo scowls.
"Don't people say you're a pair of vicious bounty hunters?" Izuku points out.
"Like we care what some conformists think. We'll make it through this and keep doing what we think is right, accomplish our dreams with no regrets." Yui tells him.
"You two have dreams?" The straw hat boy's eyes light up, "I want to be King of the Pirates. What's your dream?"
"To be the greatest swordswoman." The pony tailed girl swears, "Not that I can get that far with that brat keeping my swords for himself."
"And I want to find our grandfather. The cap wearing girl adds, "He left us on an island so he could go sailing and we never saw him again. I want to know why."
Izuku thinks to himself before he gets an idea.
"What if I get your sword back?" He offers, "If I get you your sword, will you at least consider my offer?"
Before they can answer he's already running into the base and launches at the door with a resounding…
"Gum-Gum Rocket!" He screams as he flies through the air.
"Did he just stretch!?" Momo shrieks with worry?"
"Did he just say Gum-Gum Rocket?" Yui cocks an eyebrow, "That's kind of dirty sounding. I like it."
"Of course you do." Her older sister groaned with an eye roll, "You're a pervert, Yui."
The younger sister just shrugs.
Up on the roof, the man known as "Ax-Hand" Morgan, given the epitaph due to his right hand being replaced with a massive ax, dressed in the white uniform of a Captain, short blonde hair and a metal jaw giving orders to his men about a dozen feet tall statue of himself.
"Stand it up in one final pull!" He demands. But Helmeppo is right behind him.
"But Dad, please! This is just as important! The boy who punched me should be punished! You've never even hit me!" The boy whines.
"Do you have any remote idea why I never hit you?" Morgan asks without looking at his son.
"H-Huh?" Helmeppo stops crying to look at his father's back in confusion, "U-Um, isn't it because you love me and think I'm great?"
There's a moment's pause before…
"Nope!" Morgan shouts as he turns around and knocks the boy down with his left hand, "It's because you're a stupid fool who always whines about what he wants and needs! You're not even worth hitting! And the only one who can be considered great is me, the highest ranking man on this island!"
Looking up at his father with terror, Helmeppo crawls away in terror.
"By the way, I heard a rat snuck in to feed those prisoners of ours." Morgan continues as he looks at his statue, "Did you take care of them?"
"Y-Yes, of course father." The scared child answers, "She was thrown over the wall as punishment."
"So you didn't kill her?" Morgan leans close to his son with the blade of the ax at his neck.
"W-Why would I kill a little girl? She was just being stupid." Helmeppo explains.
"You!" Morgan points to one of his men, "Go find that girl and execute her right away!"
The Marine starts to sweat profusely.
"B-But sir! She's just a kid!" The man explains before Morgan lumbers to him.
"I don't care if she's a child or an old nun, disobedience of my rules is an act of treason, punishable by death! Do I make myself clear?" He glares down at the lowly Marine.
"Sorry sir, but that's a line even you can't cross." The Marine bluntly tells him before Morgan slices him open with his ax.
"My strength let me rise to the rank of Captain. And in this world, titles are all that matters! So as the highest ranked marine on this island, what I say is RIGHT OR WRONG! ANYONE WHO OBJECTS IS EXECUTED! DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?!" The Mad Captain screams at his men.
The marines salute with profuse sweating.
"But let's put all this aside for now," He points to the colossal statue of himself, "For now that this impeccable statue of myself is finished, let's get it up so the whole world can see my greatness!"
As soon as he said that, they heard a shout.
"Gum-Gum Rocket!" And with that, our straw hat hero shot high into the sky right into the statue, shattering it into a million pebbles. Everyone's jaws drop while Morgan has tears in his eyes as he resets his metallic jaw.
"Sorry about that…" The boy raises his hand in defense. But the mad captain starts foaming at the mouth.
"SEIZE HIM NOW SO I CAN KILL HIM MYSELF!" He shouts for the whole island to hear. Izuku runs into the base dragging Helmeppo by the shirt collar.
"W-What the hell are you going to do with me you scoundrel?!" Helmeppo screams at Izuku.
"I need Momo's sword for her to join my crew. So show me where they are!" He explains. Hearing this makes Helmeppo give up.
"They're in my room! They're in my room!" He shrieks.
"So lead the way!" Izuku orders.
And while Izuku is being chased around the fort, Marinette runs over to the Yaoyorozu twins to free them, with one of the Marines noticing.
"Captain, a girl is sneaking into the courtyard!" He shouts with the bluenette ignoring to untie Yui.
"If you're gonna untie someone, make it Momo." She explains, "My power lets me make the rope long enough to be loosened free."
Marinette nods and goes over to Momo, who tells them what's going on.
"Helmeppo's double crossed you two." Marinette tells them, "He got bored and decided to kill you two tomorrow. Izuku got angry and punched him!"
Hearing this, Yui chants to herself quietly.
"More-More…X2…" The rope starts to get longer and gives her some slack, but not enough, "X3…X4…And free."
Walking away, the cap wearing girl glances at Marinette and exhales.
"You're making it tighter." Yui warns before walking over to help, "Here, you pull on this end right here and it'll come undone."
Marinette nods and finally frees Momo, who listens to the Marines arriving.
"Do you have a weapon, dear?" The ponytailed girl asks Marinette.
"Well…" She pulls out a yo-yo out of her jacket, red with black spots, like a Ladybug, "Kind of."
"End of the line!" The trio turn to see Morgan approaching with a dozen Marines pointing guns at them, "Is this some kind of a joke!? A poorly put together coup put together by that brat with the Straw Hat and his whores?"
"I've only ever fought with Yui, and even then when there's only one enemy I fight alone, I'm no coward after all." Momo insults him, "And besides, don't go insulting the boy's girlfriend, she's a Lady."
"U-Um…" Marinette blushes and starts making stilted movements, "No he Boyfriend, I mean, Boyfriend No he, I mean, He's not my boyfriend!"
All Yui, who has started to shake a little, can only think of is a girl, probably ten years old, with boyish short black hair dueling with Momo with wooden swords, and winning every time.
"You're weak, Momo…Nothing ever changes…"
All of a sudden a window bursts open and Izuku falls out clutching three katanas, two black and one white. He lands in front of the three girls as Morgan's men fire on them, the bullets bouncing off of his elastic body. Yui comes out of her stupor, and has one thing to ask…
"What the hell ARE YOU?!"
"My name is Midoriya D. Izuku, and I'm gonna be the King of the Pirates!" Izuku tells her before showing Momo the three Katanas he found, "Here's some of the swords I found. I didn't know which one was yours, though."
"They're all mine." Momo explains, "I use a three sword style I invented to fight with them. Now then, about your offer…We accept."
"Sister?" Yui looks over.
"What? If we don't accept it, we'll be dead. And if it means walking into hell we'll do anything to live till our dream comes true. And I'm starting to think that D stands for the Devil." Momo explains.
"Sorry," Izuku shrugs, "According to my friend the D Stands For Deku."
Meanwhile, the Marines gossip among themselves at seeing the bullets bounce off the boy, but Morgan knows what he is.
"A boy who forsake his humanity to have the hidden treasure of the sea." The tyrant notes, "How interesting. But nonetheless, if guns don't work, RIP AND TEAR!"
The marines charge forward but are stopped by Momo brandishing all three blades now, one in each hand and the white handled katana in her mouth.
"Today, the Yaoyorozu sisters are now criminals for fighting the marines." She notes despite the blade in her mouth, "So we're pirates now. Though we only fight to fulfill the ambitions we have."
"No problem there." Izuku assures, "What are your ambitions?"
"She wants to be the world's greatest swordswoman." Yui answers, "My ambition is to find the land of Wano, our grandfather's homeland."
This makes a smile grow on Izuku's face and he raises his arms in the air.
"The world's greatest swordswoman, world's greatest fashion designer, and now a woman seeking the promised land! Nothing but the best for the King of the Pirates!" Izuku boasts.
"WHAT ARE YOU IDIOTS STANDING AROUND FOR!?" Morgan snaps, "PULL YOUR HEADS OUT OF YOUR ASSES AND KILL THEM ALL!"
"Ladies, you might want to duck." Izuku warns before he stretches his leg out into a massive kick, "Gum-Gum Whip!"
With the men brought down to the ground, Izuku glances at the men.
"I count 41 marines, including Morgan." He notes, "Marinette, see what you can do with that yo-yo. Yui, Momo, you two decide on who gets the left or right. I'll handle Morgan."
"What is wrong with you peons? Either die to them or die to me!" Ax-Hand screams with foam in his mouth.
"Now I'll definitely handle him!" Izuku shouts as he charges at him.
"Oh, you can handle me? A no-rank, no bounty punk like you?" Morgan responds as he rips off his marine coat, "I'm Ax-Hand Morgan, Marine Captain who rules this island!"
"And I'm Izuku." The future King of the Pirates tells him.
Morgan starts swinging wildly but by the third swing, Izuku has jumped in the air before landing with a kick to Morgan's face.
"Is that pirate winning?" One of the marines looks on with wonder, ignoring the fights they're supposed to have with the girls, as Izuku delivers another kick to Morgan's face.
"That kid's pummeling the shit out of him!"
"It's almost embarrassing…"
"Hey! Straw Hat!" Helmeppo screams at the top of his lungs, holding a pistol to Marinette's head, "Stop hitting my dad! Look what I got!"
Izuku looks over and just smiles.
"Hey Marinette," He calls to the teary eyed girl, "Is that yo-yo Miraculous?"
She loosens the yo-yo, and then swings so it hits the blonde brat in the cheek!
Morgan took this moment to charge at Izuku, only for Momo to charge at him with her three katana, slicing across his chest like a wolverine.
"Thank you, Lady Momo." Izuku bows to her.
"Don't bow to me, Captain." She says, making the straw hat boy look at her with watery eyes, "Just doing my job."
At this he just breaks out into tears that makes a waterfall look tame. The three girls back away in worry.
"Yui, did you do something to his tears?" The older sister demands.
"Nope, this is all him!" The younger sister admits.
"Now I'm really worried he's insane." The blue haired girl blurts out.
The marines look at this and throw their weapons away in celebration.
"Ax-Hand Morgan's been beaten!"
"We're saved!"
"The Imperialist has fallen!"
"Th-They're cheering," Izuku calms down and starts to grip at his chest, "Does this mean…I'm a Hero?"
Suddenly Momo and Yui fall over, making Izuku and Marinette rush over to check on them.
"Need food…" Momo groans.
"Wa~Te~r…" Yui croaks.
So the two were brought over to the restaurant and provided all the food they would need.
"Captaimsh," Yui says with food in her mouth, "How many crewmembers do we have?"
"Well, the three of us." Izuku admits, "Four if Marinette doesn't need a bodyguard anymore."
Momo chokes on her drink and ends up spitting it up into the air.
"Captain," She trembles, "Please tell us you at least have a ship?"
The straw hat boy awkwardly points at the small fishing boat in the harbor…The one a dog is hiking his leg on.
"I'm gonna try to find a bigger ship soon I promise." Young Midoriya assures, "Oh, and you don't gotta call me Captain. Izuku is just fine."
Rika asks, "Does this mean you're heading to the Grand Line soon? I heard it can be pretty scary."
"You wanna know what I heard?" Marinette asks before leaning in, "So the world is split into two oceans with a massive continent stretching as far as the eye can see. The Red Line it's called. And hundreds, maybe thousands, of pirates set sail to cross it for the Grand Line, and has been a battlefield since then between the many pirates, with four of the strongest called the Four Emperors of the Sea."
All of a sudden a group of marines enter the restaurant, with one stepping up to Izuku and his crew.
"Excuse me, young man…" He bows to the younger man, "While I can not thank you enough for deposing Morgan and saving this town, the fact remains that you are still pirates. And I will now ask you to leave immediately, in exchange we will not report you to headquarters."
Some of the townspeople hear this and grumble to them, but the green haired boy smiles.
"Of course," He agrees, "I had no intention of staying long anyway, an hour at most."
With that the four depart, to the twins' confusion.
"One thing I don't get." Yui asks Marinette, "If you're not a part of the crew, why are you going with us?"
Marinette starts to shuffle a little as she walks, "Well, call it a dumb wish, but I want to be a great fashion designer and I think it'd be great to be able to travel the four seas and even the Grand Line to discover all the various fashion designs there are. So if the only way I can survive is traveling with Izuku, then I'll travel with him."
Momo walks by Izuku and makes an observation, "You know, one boy with three girls might get people to start talking."
At that he stops and starts to hug his body all over like a madman.
"W-Why w-would anyone think that?" He stutters out, "It's not like anyone would think a loser like me would be worthy of being near such pretty girls!"
The four get to the boat and set sail, but not before seeing the Marines standing by to salute them.
"Now that things have calmed down…" Izuku pulls out a blue notebook with a handwritten title, Devil Fruit Analysis For The Future Vol. 1.
"Yuichan," He asks, "Do you mind if I learn a little about your Devil Fruit?"
Meanwhile, on an island all too familiar two days later…
Inko was continuing to work at her restaurant when an old man walks in with a red trench coat and a leopard print hat on his head, seeing him make her feel both surprised and worried.
"Ichigo-San?!" She gasps, "W-What are you doing here?"
"Sorry to surprise you, Inko." The man called Ichigo apologizes, "I just wanted to say hi to you and Izuku before he set sail, crazy as it is."
"Ichigo-San, I thought you knew…" Inko says as she steps closer, "Izuku left already. He's been gone for two days."
Ichigo suddenly falls into his seat, before standing up with a scream! In perfect English, as impossible as that is!
"OH MY GOD!"
The scream shakes Alix a little, who wonders, "Now where did that come from? Maybe universes are bleeding together more than I thought."
Author's Note: AND SCENE! And with that four episodes down, over a thousand to go!
Now to go over the crew positions: Izuku - Captain, Yui - First Mate, Momo - Swordswoman, Marinette - Tailor
And for those wondering why Momo and Yui are twins, this was an idea from AO3's He's A Hero, by Supreme_King_Nero, a huge inspiration for this story, and I thought it was so brilliant that I had to implement it. See, there are three, maybe four, main "Protagonists" for this story.
That is Izuku as Luffy, Katsuki as Koby, and Tomura/Tenko as Blackbeard, and they'll be amassing their own crews that are foils to each other, and I figured all three will have at least one set of twins, so there.
If this is plagiarism, SKN, please don't sue this was meant as a compliment I swear!
Now I feel there should be more that I'm supposed to go over but I can't really think of anything else.
