"500 million! Are you insane Sengoku? The bounty we posted on 'Strawhat' Luffy was already high but this is outrageous. Especially for some kind of harmless pink thing!"
"That harmless pink thing as you put it has already displayed abilities far in excess of any other creature that we have ever encountered." Sengoku spoke slowly and calmly despite the sheer murderous aura that was radiating from him and filling the entire room. Calmly, he flicked to the next page of his packet.
"As it stands, here is what we know of this Mew and the powers it has shown so far. Firstly, it has been somewhat involved in every major battle that we gave Strawhat such a high bounty for, and successfully forced Kuro of the thousand plans to run from it in solo combat.
If that wasn't enough it then later engaged with Mihawk in a swordfight and displayed enough skill that Mihawk immediately informed us of the fight afterwards and said in his own words, 'Don't underestimate Mew, in a battle purely of swords I could beat it but the whole time we fought I knew it could destroy me at any moment. Whatever it is and no matter how powerful it seems knowing that's just the tip of its power.'
Then we have the abilities that Mew has so far displayed that we know of, Flight, Teleportation, a powerful unnamed energy blast from its mouth, a blade of apparently solar energy, able to create caltrops, poisoned caltrops, invisible floating rocks, Transform into perfect copies of people and use their Devil Fruit powers, multiple instances of healing, the ability to bring back people's memories, the ability to absorb poison, and however many other abilities the creature might have!" Sengoku shouted as he slammed the sheath of papers onto the desk.
"So yes the creature has earned its outrageous starting bounty and then something! Vice Admiral Garp is already looking for it in the East Blue, hopefully he will be able to catch it."
"James look," Jesse said to her blue haired partner in crime. Or would it be partner in law? No, that just sounded wrong, maybe partner in government. Eh, she'd work on it.
James, not confused by thoughts of what they should be called, looked over to where Jesse was pointing. Across the street Mew was floating in the air while studying a map, next to Mew was a blonde haired man dressed in a swanky blue outfit and top hat.
He watched as Mew folded up the map and handed it to the other man before both of them headed off down the street. Neither one seemed to be in much of a rush as they casually strolled, or in Mew's case floated, along.
"Stop gawking, we need to report this to the boss!" Meowth hissed from behind Jesse and James, making both of them jump.
"Right, right!" Said James as he fumbled in his pocket before pulling out a baby transponder snail.
"Garp sir, we've got visual confirmation that Mew is in the city. It seems to be heading in the direction of the Execution Site, accompanied by a blonde man wearing a blue outfit with a blue top hat and goggles."
"Pack up your cover and then head to the Navy base on the island to rendezvous with me when I arrive. The other team will handle Mew."
"Yes boss!" The three members of Team Rocket responded enthusiastically.
"It's sir not boss!"
"Yes sir, sorry sir!"
Hurriedly the three of them began to break down the stall that they had set up. It didn't take more than a minute before the only sign that there had been anything here was the table and the fish tank that the Magikarp placidly floated in.
"Mademoiselle!~"
Jesse jumped nearly a foot and spun around to find Sanji swooning before her.
"Ah, uh…
Congratulations! You're today's 1000th customer! Which means you just won this golden Magikarp!" She reeled off before Sanji could even get another word in. Whipping around too fast for the eye to follow she yanked the Magikarp out of the tank and thrust it into Sanji's arms just as James threw down a smoke bomb.
A smoke bomb that for some reason instead of producing a thick cloud of smoke just exploded.
"Looks like Team Rockets blasting off again!" The trio shouted as they vanished into the sky with a twinkle.
"...what." Sanji said slowly as he stared at the now empty spot that Jesse had occupied. The golden Magikarp, still in his arms.
"Karp!"
"Guess I'll just take the fish with me."
"What's with the fish?" Were the first words out of Gin's mouth when he saw Sanji. His second words were, "And how is it breathing?"
"Some weird merchants gave it to me and I don't know." Was Sanji's bland reply.
"Will the two of you forget about the stupid fish for a moment, Morgan's about to execute Luffy?" Shouted Zoro.
"You're not a stupid fish." Sanji said at the same time as Gin replied.
"Who?"
"Axe-hand Morgan, guy Luffy defeated to get me to join his crew. Thought the Navy had arrested him."
"I was given a second chance when they found out that your little pink menace messed around with my mind! And now that I've captured it inside this cage made of sea stone-" Morgan waved the cage in which Mew was laying, a nauseous expression on its face, tauntingly at Zoro, Sanji, and Gin. The man missed how Mew briefly opened an eye to wink at them.
"-And once I've executed your captain I'll not only have my position back but a promotion as well!" Setting the cage down on the execution platform, Morgan raised his axe up and swung it down towards a pinned Luffy's neck.
"No. Don't. Stop. Karp!" Zoro, Sanji, and Gin exclaimed flatly. The fake golden Magikarp displayed more emotion as it Splashed in Sanji's arms, but nothing happened.
Like a switch had been flipped, or something had used Rain Dance, the sunny sky was suddenly filled with heavy dark gray clouds. A bolt of Thunder split the sky, crashing straight down onto the execution platform and more importantly Morgan's axe. Metal shrieking as the structure collapsed in on itself.
Mew floated above where the platform had been, lit by the occasional flashes that seemed to make its eyes glow, as ominous Latin chanting played somewhere in the background. Imperiously Mew tilted its head to look down upon all the unworthy ants that-
Luffy plopped his hat back on his head as he crawled out of the rumble.
"Good thing I'm immune to Electric attacks! Mew! Time to go!"
"Mew!" The pink cat thing responded as it flew down to where Luffy and the rest of the crew had gathered and landed on his shoulders. Mew took a moment to nuzzle Luffy's cheek as Smoker, Tashigi, Garp, and a whole horde of Marines all charged into the square shouting.
"Strawhat!"
"Roronoa Zoro!"
"Grandson!"
Before any of these rightfully pissed off individuals could reach the crew however, Mew had Teleported them all back to the Merry, where Usopp and Nami had been waiting.
"Shihihihi! Onwards to the Grand Line!" Luffy shouted as he spun around to point towards Reverse Mountain.
"What the heck am I supposed to do with this fish?!"
"Mew!"
"Mew says hold onto it till we reach Reverse Mountain. Then you can chuck it into the water so it can evolve."
"Evolve into what?!"
"No idea!" Luffy yelled back to Sanji, even as he sat down on his special seat on Merry's figurehead.
