Sup back again. If anyone is interested, I have posted my Black Clover x one-piece fic (chapter 2 soon). This chapter is mostly canon material; however, it does have some important details. Anyway, back to the canon timeline (mostly lol).

I'm in college now. Sorry for the long wait. I hope to get to the Grand line by 2025 (no promises though).

Anyway, let's get right into it.


Going merry

A day passed after they left Kenya Island, and Nami was showing information on each of Arlong's pirates or the interested ones.

Valac, Rem, Kirito, Mami, and Nami were discussing it at the dinner table while Rem was cooking, while the others were doing their own thing.

"So who are with these commanders, Nami?" said Kirito.

"There were seven dangerous commanders, but now only six; supposedly he was beaten by another pirate, making a big blow to Arlong's plan," said Nami, now pulling out some wanted posters.

"So these guys, huh?" said Rem. "John told me about the Arlong Pirates; they are said to be the most dangerous crew in the East Blue," said Mami.

"Yeah, they are hard to compare; they like the closest to being able to conquer the East Blue," said Valac.

"Oh, that's not good; we got to stop him; not my first time dealing with someone like this," said Kirito.

"Same here," said Rem.

Then a loud bang can be heard all over the ship. Which caused everyone to go on deck to see what was happening.

"Hey, what are you doing over there?" said Nami, who went outside on the ship deck. "Oh, just cannon practice," said Luffy.

"That was still way off; let me try," said Usopp as he pointed the cannon and then fired, hitting the large rock now falling into the sea.

"Good shot; you should be considered our sniper," said Luffy, laughing. Then a large growling sound came from Luffy.

"Man, I'm hungry," said Luffy. "WE CAN SEE THAT," said everyone.

...

Everyone from the ship came to the dining table to eat inside.

"Man, that food was good," said Luffy. "Yeah, but I had that prepared," said Rem.

"Goodness, we're going to need another cook for everyone," said Mami. "Yeah, I can't keep cooking forever, especially that black hole over there," said Rem, pointing at Luffy.

"We still need a musician," said Luffy, which caused everyone to ask Luffy in confusion, "Are you an idiot?" said Zoro.

However, a loud noise came from the deck of the ship. "GET OUT HERE YOU DAM PIRATES," said a man angrily. Luffy walked outside with Valac.

"We will take care of it," said Valac. "WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?" said Luffy, confused. "NON OF YOUR BUSINESS, YOU STINKY PIRATE," said the man lunging at Luffy and Valac; however, both of them quickly pinned him on the ground.

However, Zoro came out, recognizing the voice. "Who is this weak ass bounty hunter anyway?" said Valac.

"Johnny, tell me that isn't you," said Zoro; however, a large water pulse shot Luffy, nearly hitting the ship with a turtle-like creature standing at the edge of the ship, and then it got tackled to the ground by the Trapinch. "CALL OFF YOUR POKEMON,"

"Squirtle stop," said Johnny. "Tranpinch stop," said Valac as both Pokemon stopped fighting.

"Big Bro Zoro, why are you on a pirate ship?" said Johnny. "Is everything ok? Where is Yosaku?" said Zoro.

Johnny explained to Zoro that Yosaku isn't doing too well and is on the verge of death. The rest of the straw hats were looking outside the window.

"What's going on out there?" said Nami. "I don't know; it looks like Zoro knows that guy," said Kirito, eating some of his sandwiches. "HEY GET OUT HERE; WE NEED YOUR HELP," said Valac.

Everyone got out of the kitchen to see what was up.

"Hey, OH MY GOODNESS THAT LOOKS BAD," said Mami in shock, seeing a person almost dead.

Johnny brought Yosaku out and told the story of what happened. Usopp and Luffy apologized for almost killing them with the cannonball. Nami and Senku examine Yosaku and realize that he has scurvy.

Senku quickly runs to another part of the ship to get a device while Luffy, Usopp, and Valac get the Limes.

Senku brings out a lime squeezer to help quicken the process. A few minutes passed until Yosaku woke up full of energy and Squirtle danced with them.

"HUH," said Mami, Kirito, and Nami. "YOU SHOULD BE UP AND FINE LIKE THAT."

"Goodness When are these people going to learn that anyone who fights for a living is not human at all?" said Valac with a facepalm.

"My name is Johney, and my name is Yosaku. We're the Pirate Hunter duo," said Yosaku and Johney.

"Bounty hunters," said Kohaku in shock. "We were once Zoro partners," said Johnny.

"I never thought Zoro would ever become a pirate," said Yosaku. Zoro came up to give them a handshake; however, Yosaku fell to the ground due to still having a heavy fever.

...

"We need to make sure we're getting the right nutrients, like all the natural vitamins," said Senku.

"That is a prime example of why you need a professional cook," said Valac, which offended Rem.

"What do you mean by a professional cook? I know how to cook," said Rem. "I don't think he is talking about your cooking talent, but someone who has expertise in cooking," said Kaya.

"Yes, I need more food," said Luffy. Everyone's sweat dropped at the claim.

"I know a place; it's close to the Grandline, and supposedly the strongest swordsman in the world has been seen around there; North-East is where the Baratie is," said Johnny, which got Zoro excited.

"North-East, that near Arlong Park," Thought Valac and Nami

"Hold on a minute, you are talking about Mihawk; we can't go there; he will kill us all, especially Luffy since he has a bounty," said Mami.

"Huh, he has a bounty; how much?" said Johnny. "20 million beli," said Luffy, laughing while holding his poorly drawn face out. Johnny collapsed in horror.

"We will be fine; Zoro will be challenging him," said Valac.

...

The straw hats were now at the Baratie, admiring it. Yosaku also woke up from his recovery, but the straw hats didn't notice him.

"Wow, never seen something like this before," said Mami, never seeing a restaurant on the water.

"Looks pretty funky," said Usopp.

"Wow, I hope the food is delicious," said Kohaku and Kaya.

"Whoa! It's a huge fish," said Luffy.

"It's a lovely place," said Nami.

"Hm, I wonder how good the cooks are," said Rem but still felt off by the bounty hunters.

"Wow," said Kirito, "this would be a nice place to go with Asuna."

"This looks like a good place to eat," said Valac.

Senku and Zoro were silent while admiring the restaurant.

"I told you this was a good place to eat," said Johnny.

Then a Marine ship came up from the side.

"What the," said Yosaku, caught off guard by the marine ship appearing out of nowhere. "A navy ship,"

"Great," said Valac and Rem sarcastically. "Are they going to shoot at us?" said Usopp. "Yes, it has a 100 million chance of shooting at us if they know our captain has a bounty," said Senku.

"YOU'RE NOT MAKING IT BETTER," said Nami.

"This is not good," said Mami and Kohaku. "If they fire those cannons, they will kill us," said Kirito.

A man walked out to the deck to see what was going on; he was wearing fancy white clothes.

"I've never seen a pirate flag like that; I'm Iron Fist full body from Navy headquarters. Who is your captain? Come out and state your name," said Full Body.

"I'm Luffy," said Luffy.

"I'm Uso," said Usopp, however, gets cut off by Valac, hitting him in the head.

"We just made our flag yesterday," said Luffy, "and I'm the one who made it," said Usopp, at which everyone's sweat dropped.

"Hey, you two over there, you're that bounty hunter duo that goes after small pirates," said Full Body.

"What?" said the duo, who were offended. "We go after guys like these," said Johnny, then spewing out bounty posters from all the east blue pirates, one of them being Arlong.

A beautiful lady in a red dress comes up to Full Body. "Hey, let's get going," said the lady.

"Okay, anyways, they are a pain to my eyes; sink the ship," said Full Body, and one of the Marines started loading up a cannon and then fired it. However, Luffy intercepts it but fails to fire it back as his left hand loses his grip on the ship, causing the cannonball to hit the top of the Baratie.

"OW," said Luffy, mad that he missed.

"IDIOT," said everyone. "I go deal with the Marines, and Luffy go deal with that," said Valac, throwing Luffy toward the crash site where the cannonball landed.

"IDIOT," said Everyone was shocked that Valac would do that. "What? He needs to take responsibility," said Valac Now, jumping on the marine ship.

"Hey, put your hand," said a marine but got knocked out by Valac.

"They are both crazy," said Mami. "Tell me about it," said Nami, holding Arlong's bounty and ripping it apart in anger. "Well, at least they didn't recognize Luffy," said Kaya.

...

"Owner, are you ok?" said a man wearing a sheff outfit. Other chefs started to walk in.

An old chef with a comically long blond mustache can be seen slowly getting up while some bleeding on his head can be seen. He also only had one leg and a "Go back to feeding the customers and bring the brat that did this," said the owner. However, another crash can be heard.

"AH," said the Sheffs "Ow, where am I?" said Luffy, confused. "SO YOU THE BRAT WHO DID THIS," said the owner.

"I-I-I-I SO SORRY; AHH, YOU DON'T HAVE A LEG," said Luffy. "IDIOT," said The Owner. "You better have money to pay for this."

...

A bunch of Marines can be seen tied up on Full Body's ship. "Let us go brat," said one of the Marines. "Full body will kill you."

"Oh, shut your fucking mouths," said Valac Looking through documents to see an interesting one called 'operation suppression'

"You can't read that, all unauthorized personnel will be killed on site if you read that," said A marine who was scared that he would be killed for letting a pirate get a hold of a highly important document.

"So, they can't kill me if they are dead first," said Valac coldly as he started reading through the document.

"Hey," said a weak voice. "Huh, who's there?" said Valac. "I'm hungry; I'm about to die," said the weak voice.

"Hmm, ah, I know you. Go get something to eat," said Valac as he picked up a small pistol and key and then threw it to the prisoner.

"Thank you," said the man. Valac soon got off the ship onto the Merry to read the document.

From: Marines Headquarters

xx/xx/xxxx

This document is only for the eyes of a Lieutenant Marine or higher; if any unauthorized Marines read this document, they will be delisted or terminated based on severity.

Due to the number of concerns about the New Generation of pirates endangering the Grand Line.
Action must be taken to capture and get rid of all the pirates in the Blues. A high bounty will be placed on high-risk pirates.

Note: Promotions will be given out to those who can capture these pirates; if killed, you will likely not gain said promotion.

Some examples are:

Jack Slash, at the time of this document, is worth 35,000,000 beli and is located in West Blue.

Nothing is known about him at this time, but according to reports, he does have either an anomaly power or devil fruit power.

Warning: THIS PIRATE IS KNOWN TO TORTURE AND KILL HIS VICITEMS IN BRUTAL WAYS, CAUTION IS RECOMMENDED, AND HIS CREW POWER IS STILL UNKNOWN.

Risk: 9

Bakugo, at the time of this document, is worth 25,000,000 beli and is located in the Blue.

Bakugo was once a bounty hunter, but now he has turned into a pirate and is also known to be destructive with his powers. It is considered an anomaly power due to reports of him swimming.

Risk: 5

Monkey D. Luffy, at the time of this document, is worth 20,000,000 beli and is located in the East Blue.

Luffy Is... (Redacted)

Risk: (Redacted)

"What the hell? Why are they hiding?" said Valac, but then he thought of it more. "That Old Fag,"

"Hey, we're going inside the Baratie," said Nami. "Fine by me," said Valac

"Hey, what were you reading over there?" said Zoro. "Nothing important, for you," said Valac.

"Don't give me that attitude," said Zoro mad.

All of them jump on the boat to go eat at the Baratie except Yosaku and Johnny, as they are not hungry. Squirtle and Trapinch were both on the ship sleeping.

Valac, Zoro, Kirito, Nami, Usopp, Kaya, Rem, Senku, Kohaku, and Mami all entered the restaurant to see a fight going on. A man with a nice suit, smoking a cigarette, was holding Full Body with his heavily bloody body.

"Oh wow, a fight is going," said Zoro.

"Well, that's one way to deal with a bad customer, or marine for that matter," said Kaya.

"Sure thing," said Kirito.

"That random dude beat Full Body and looks like he almost killed him," said Rem.

The rest had no comment on the situation.

A large man walks out of the restroom with a mix of a blue sailor uniform and a chef outfit.

"HEY SANJI, WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO THE CUSTOMER, AND OF ALL PEOPLE, A NAVY LIEUTENANT?" said the man.

"What is it you dam cook?" said Sanji.

Sanji and his co-worker argue over his actions. Sanji claims that Full Body was wasting food and deserves the beating, while his co-worker says that they need customers.

"All that for food thought is kind of insane," said Kirito. "Kirito, don't be fooled; even though you haven't been here for long, people can easily starve out there, so I can understand his reasoning, but still, I don't think he deserved that," said Mami.

"People have different experiences. Trust me when I say food is more important to me and Luffy than you can imagine; waste it is asking to kill yourself," said Valac.

Usopp, Nami, and Kohaku gulped at Valac's starlet. While Zoro and Senku understood the struggle and importance of food.

"SHUT IT DOWN... I'M SHUTTING THIS PLACE DOWN," said Full Body. "Fine, I guess I will have to finish you off here," said Sanji, now running toward Full Body; however, Sanji's co-workers, who were watching the ordeal, stopped him.

Then Luffy and the owner fell through the ceiling, catching everyone off guard.

"Oh boy," said Usopp.

Luffy and the owner keep on arguing about the deal about the damage to the restaurant.

"Boss, Sanji is on a rampage again," said one of the cooks. "Huh, you brat," said the owner, kicking Sanji in the face and knocking his cigarette out of his mouth. "You too, get the hell out of here," kicking Full Body to the ground.

The cooks continued to argue, and then a marine came to inform Full Body of what happened on the marine ship. "We got a problem; one of the Krieg Pirates escaped...," said the Marine but before he could finish he got shot by the figure behind them.

The civilians in the restaurant get away from the door. A man with bloody clothing and a gun walks in and takes a set.

"Wait a minute, I know that Pirate, that's Gin, worth 12,000,000 beli," thought Mami.

"Bring me food," said Gin. The chef in the pink uniform comes up and asks him a question, which causes the bloody man to point the gun at him. "If you have no money, get out," said the chef, smashing him over the head before he could shoot.

Gin was kicked out of the restaurant before he could cause more harm. Full Body ran away, not wanting to deal with this situation.

"Dam, he was so weak," said Kirito. "Man Luffy better be done soon and get a good cook," said Nami. "Why, you say that," said Kohaku.

"I don't know; I just have a feeling," said Nami.

"Have fun; it's going to take a year," said Valac, laughing.

"WHAT A YEAR! DON'T JOKE LIKE THAT" said everyone in shock. "TRAPINCH," said Trapinch.

"HUH, WHEN DID YOU GET HERE?" said everyone in confusion.

...

Luffy went outside to see Gin lying on the ground in pain and hunger. "Are you hungry by any chance?" said Luffy.

"Shut up," said Gin. However, Sanji came out of the restaurant with some food and gave the food to the man. However, the man with all of his pride refused to be fed out of pity.

"I understand how cruel the ocean is; I know what it is like to stare at the seas. You can die here with your pride, but if you eat and survive, don't you think there is a future for you?" said Sanji, who made the man cry and started to eat the food. "It's good, isn't it?"

"Hey, cook, join my crew," said Luffy, which caught Sanji off guard.

"Huh," said Gin and Sanji.

East Blue: Somewhere in the Sea

Jones and his team were looking for Nami, so Arlong handed a special device to track them down; however, it took time to be up to date.

Currently, they were deep underwater having a snack break.

"Hmm, Hey, Boss Jones, the tracker is changing again," said a fisherman.

"Huh, I'm kind of relaxing here," said Jones, now taking the tracker from the fishman.

"It's in the direction of the Baratie," said another fisherman. "Oh, she's taking a date or something; let go catch up to them and crash the party," said Jones.

"It will take a few days," said another fishman. "Don't worry, we won't let them escape," said Jones.

...

All of the straw hats besides Luffy were eating at a table discussing plans and things to pass the time.

"So, there are many new dangerous pirates upcoming," said Rem. "Yes, we are also considered one of them," said Valac

"This is because of a document you found on the full-body ship," said Usopp and Kaya.

"Yep," said Valac "I assume so. My commander had a few documents I couldn't see; often information is kept under wraps unless you have an Intel network," said Mami.

"Anyways, why is everyone looking at us? It's kind of creepy," said Usopp. "Well, there are me and Kohaku with tribe-like clothes, Mami with a schoolgirl uniform, Zoro, and a Pokemon on the table eating a small piece of meat," said Senku.

"What's for comfort? This is the last thing I have to bring home," said Mami in sorrow.

"Come on, we are not used to outsider clothes," said Kohaku.

"What's wrong with me?" said Zoro.

Luffy came down spiral stairs in the center of the restaurant to see all of his crew eating without him.

"Hey, chocor boy," said Nami.

"HEY WHAT GIVES, YOUR EATING WITHOUT ME," said Luffy, who was whiny.

"Too bad, that's our business," said Zoro, laughing. Everyone, besides Mami, Rem, and Kohaku as they looked in disguise, started to hold in their laughter when they saw Luffy put a booger in Zoro water. "The food is indeed good here; I feel bad for you, so DRINK IT YOURSELF."

"You were asking for it," said Valac

More people were staring at the noisy straw hats.

"Aren't they pirates? I mean, that straw hat kid looks like that drawing over there," said a civilian. "I don't know, but they are being a bit rowdy," said Sanji, pouring a drink, then saw the five beautiful women in his eyesight. "Pour it yourself."

The straw hats were laughing until Sanji came up with five roses. Sanji confessed his love to them. Mami and Kohaku were extremely uncomfortable, while Kaya and Nami were surprised but no less weirded out. Rem didn't react and, in a cold tone, said, "I don't want your chivalry."

All the men were uncomfortable, especially Kirito, about what Sanji was doing, but Valac stepped up and said, "Hey, knock it off; some of our crew went through some deep trauma with other men."

"WHERE ARE THEY SO I CAN BEAT THEM TO DEATH FOR DOING SUCH A THING TO A WOMAN?" screamed Sanji.

"Welp, at least he is not a rapist, just a weirdo," thought the girls.

"IF IT WASN'T MY GREAT OF AN OBSTACLE, I WOULD JOIN YOU AND HUNT THEM DOWN AND KILL THEM WITHOUT HESITATION," screamed Sanji.

"I'm that obstacle, Sanji," said the owner who was behind him. "Dam old man," said Sanji.

"This is an amazing opportunity. Why don't you join this pirate crew? You would fit in with them because you are no longer needed here," said the owner.

However, Sanji grabbed the owner by the collar and said, "I won't let you trash my cooking; I'm staying here, and that is final."

"You just don't grab me by the collar, YOU IDIOT," said the owner, throwing him to the straw hat table and making the large table collapse. "All right, you have permission to become a pirate," said Luffy. "NO WAY," said Sanji, then he put the table back and started apologizing to all of the women; however, most were still uncomfortable with them. While Nami would take advantage of this 'chivalry'.

"Hey, no apology to us; I'm going to sue you, cook," said Usopp, but Kaya calmed him down.

"Still, none of them love you cook," said Valac. "HUH, BRAT, WHAT DID YOU SAY?" said Sanji.

"I said you had some food on you," said Valac, which caused Sanji to look down; however, Sanji felt something clamp down on his ear.

"OW, YOU BRAT!" screamed Sanji in pain after realizing that Trapinch was biting on his ear, bleeding a bit. This prank got most of the crew laughing and even some of the bystanders.

Sanji threw off the Pokemon and went back to the kitchen in anger not wanting to deal with the humiliation, but then saw Luffy near the table. "What are you sitting around here for?" said Sanji, dragging Luffy back to the kitchen without noticing his neck springing around.

...

4 days later.

It was a foggy day. The straw hats and Bounty Hunter duo mostly spent the time playing games or fixing up the ship.

"Dam, are you working on this situation?" said Nami angrily.

"I'm sorry I tried, but the owner is just stubborn," said Luffy with his face all beat up by Nami.

"Yeah, I mean..." said Valac; however, he saw something in the distance. "Heads up, we got incoming enemies."

"Is that?" said Kirito in shock as he couldn't believe the size of the ship heading their way.

"THATS A SHIP," said Mami and Rem in shock, having never seen a gigantic ship like that before.

"Wow, that's a ship," said Kohaku. "That ship might have taken ages to construct, but what kind of damage did they take?" said Senku.

"I don't want to know," said Usopp.

Luffy went inside to see the situation.

"Hmm, I heard Krieg went to the Grandline but then got attacked," said Valac.

After a few minutes, Gin and his captain, Don Krieg, who was weak, came off the ship and then entered the restaurant.

"He looks malnourished; he needs food or else he will die," said Senku. "Don't be fooled; he likes to be a dirty fuck when it comes to tactics," said Valac as the Pokemon growled at Krieg.

Through the window, Sanji can be seen giving food to Krieg; however, after Krieg eats the food, he punches Sanji to the ground, which causes people to start running out of fear.

Luffy, Zoro, Mami, and Rem go to the restaurant while everyone else stays on the ship.

"You staying here," said Kirito. "Yeah, keep an eye on the ship," said Valac

Some time passes when a bubbling noise can be heard. "Something is coming," said Valac. "Huh, what coming?" said Kirito.

"Fishman," said Valac, which caused Nami to be frightened. Jones jumped out of the water, onto the ship, to the shock of others beside Valac. "J-Jones, the human eater," said Yosaku.

"Did you just say the human eater?" said Usopp, terrified. Kaya hugged Usopp in fear. Then Johnny and Yosaku pulled out their swords but were shaking in fear.

More fishermen arrived on the deck. "So Nami, I see you're planning to leave us without saying goodbye to good old Arlong," said Jones, who was smiling with his nasty teeth.

Then Kohaku and Kirito pulled out their weapons, preparing to fight. "Well, fishmen were not on my fighting today list because they're so weak compared to humans," said Valac. Jones, now becoming angry, jumped at Valac and punched him hard enough to crash through the restaurant. A small portion of the restaurant was destroyed.

"HUH, what the hell?" said everyone in the restaurant confused. Soon fighting could be heard outside.

"Keirg, one of Arlong's pirate crews is here," yelled a subordinate from the ship. "WHAT?" said Krieg in anger.

"Well, well, well, Krieg I didn't expect you to be back here so soon; what happened? You ran into one of the thirteen warlords," said Jones.

"You, Jones," said Krieg, who soon understood the situation. "What does Arlong want with me?"

"No, I'm here for straw hats head; in fact, he's worth more than you," said Jones. "WHAT, IMPOSSIBLE," said Krieg. Everyone looked at Luffy's Bounty and then looked at Luffy. "You telling us our temporary employ was worth 20,000,000 Belis," said one of the chefs.

"They are here for Nami," said Rem.

"Yeah, it looks like it," said Mami.

"HAHA, YOU IDIOTS, HOW DIDN'T YOU KNOW RED LEG ZEFF, THAT THIS WAS A PIRATE?" said Jones. "I did know he had a debt to pay me," said Zeff, who was the owner of the restaurant.

However, Valac got up from the debris with barely noticeable scratches and then spitting out blood. "How are you still alive?" said Jones, looking at Valac more in confusion. Then Valac noticed something out in the distance through the window. "You something, you aren't the biggest here anymore," said Valac. The fighting stopped on the straw hat ship as they noticed something.

"OH YEAH, SURE KIDDO," said Jones, but then everyone heard a swift noise and a powerful slash.

Soon Keirg's ship was cut in half. "No, he can't be," said Krieg, scared. Soon Jones's mood changes from superiority to fear. "No, it can't be, the unhinged man," said Jones.

"Dracula Mihawk," said Zoro.


To be continued...

Not much to say about it, mostly cannon and one extra change.
