A one piece fanfiction different from my others... Involves a female Luffy... As a pirate... And with a different devil fruit... (Some have been warned ahead of time that this devil fruit was going to be used? XD) Inspired from cywscross's Phantom... More like tweaking what was written and adding more...
Four people were totally pissed, and all for the same reason. Dawn Island was attacked. How? That was the problem, they didn't know, how. And is was driving them insane.
1. Ace and Sabo were first.
First in many things. First, in hearing the rumors, first in arriving, first in seeing the disaster known as Dawn Island, first to panic for the absence of a certain kid sister.
2. Shanks was second.
Second in many ways. Second, in hearing the rumors, second in arriving, second in seeing the disaster known as Dawn Island, second to panic for the lack of presence of a certain grinning girl.
3. Garp was last.
Last in many ways. Last, in hearing the rumors, last in arriving, last in seeing the disaster known as Dawn Island, last to panic at the missing Granddaughter.
But, it was different for all three. Each saw less damage/disaster than the previous.
Ace and Sabo had seen all the damage done. Shanks had seen what Ace and Sabo hadn't already covered or closed in some cases. And Garp had seen the least. Most everything was covered, except the strong sent of blood and death.
Ace had been eating at the local bar on the island he was at. He had left Dawn Island a little under four months ago, so he was still averagely close. He had started gathering his crew, he had his first mate Sabo; of course, his cook James, and his musician Kylm. Because everyone knows pirates love music. His crew; The Spade Pirates, already know Ace and Sabo are brothers and that they have a sister on Dawn Island. They had met her personally after all.
Sabo and Ace had ended up going the opposite way from Reverse Mountain, so they had found both James and Kylm before having to back track. So, they got a chance to meet Luffy and some of the other villagers.
So, when he first heard the tiny rumor he was beyond angry. He was pissed.
Sabo had been walking through the shopping district looking for some new books and pens, Klym walking beside him, talking about the different things he heard the villagers talking about. Sabo was still a little high strung after backtracking for two months; curtesy of Ace. He had inspired to be a navigator and a world renowned author for the story's of his adventures, but they didn't have the resources to learn navigation. Which left them in their unfavorable predicament. So, he's had Klym listen closely to the villagers rumors to try and find a decent navigator.
Sabo's ears perked up at the mention of Goa Kingdom. Of course Klym didn't know what he was talking about because they had never mentioned Goa while they were at Dawn Island. The kingdom brought back bad memory's for the brothers after all.
"It's rumored from a Goa Noble, that the village not so far away was burned to the ground." Kylm said almost as if he was gossiping.
Sabo froze where he was. Paying know mind to the questioning stares of the villagers. His eyes widened when realization actually hit him, he was furious.
He ran to the bar He knew Ace was eating at and slammed the doors open, to see Ace holding someone up by there color with a bone in his mouth.
"Repeat what you just said." Ace demanded coldly. Putting more force into his grip.
The man nodded vigorously, "I'll tell. I'll tell, just put me down." He pleaded.
Ace released his hold.
"A noble from Goa came a few days ago." The unknown villager informed.
Sabo's eyes widened when he figured out what Ace was upset about. It was the same for him after all.
The man continued, "He came barging in here like he owned the place and was sneering at everyone in her because of the 'filth' he called it. He then began laughing maniacally about how the local village was burned to the ground, and everyone it was killed." He finished somewhat sweating having looked up into Aces eyes, that we're promising pain and merciless death.
Sabo was no better, his eyes screamed 'fuck-with-me-and-you-die.' Not very pleasant on the man who was known to be a gentlemen.
The two looked at each other smirking, in a way that meant death, and proceed to walk to there ship. It wasn't very big, but it wasn't small either. It could carry a good 20 people if need. They hadn't wanted to get a huge ship, but they wanted to make sure it was big enough for all of there crewmates to be comfortable. Even though right now there was only four.
They boarded followed by the rest of their crew and headed to Dawn Island.
They had only wished they knew sooner.
Shanks was on an island made of nothing but caves, caves, and more caves. They had found; after walking for hours, a village inside some of the tunnels of the caves. It was weird, but they brushed off as the Captains instinct. Which it was.
They all walked into the local bar, and sat down ordering drinks like they usually do. It was normal, but something didn't seem right. Something was out of place for all of the pirate. That have been to a certain East Blue island. And met a certain grinning girl.
Something... Something was off.
So, Shanks; being who he is, sat at the bar with Benn beside him and asked the barmaid, "You wouldn't happen to have any news on East Blue, would you?" He asked with his rare politeness.
The barmaid stopped pulling out clean dishes and turned to face Shanks, her eyes were opened a bit in surprise.
"Ya' know, not very many people here in the Grandline, get information on the Blues, especially East Blue." She said with a bit of amusement, "However, we've; as the whole island, have been receiving all kinds of news of the Blues. Mainly, East Blue." She stated a bit confused.
Shanks couldn't blame her. News from the Blues was normally only bounty posters from new rookie pirates. Actual news however, was very rare. It only happens when an uncirculated newspaper slips from the clutches of the World Government.
Meaning, it was by a newspaper company not funded by the Government. Which in and of itself is rare. Most things these days were funded by the Government.
She turned back around and fished through a dour and pulled out multiple newspapers and handing them to Shanks.
"I do warn you though, pirate or not, some of the things in there may scar you for life." She warned.
Shanks nodded at her as he began reading the papers. After flipping through a few he dropped all the papers and stormed out of the bar.
Benn picked up the paper his Captain just read and couldn't help but dread. He calmly rolled the paper up, though he was panicking a little on the inside, and ordered everyone back to the ship.
After a chorus of Ayes. The only person left in the bar was a smirking barmaid.
"If only they knew~" She sung, "The great Akagame Pirates are going to get the scare of a lifetime~" she singsonged happily.
Outside Shanks was pacing in a very worried manner, much to the shook of the crew.
"To Dawn Island." Was all he said after hours of silence. The scenarios just didn't want to stop.
Everyone else agreed after reading the paper. Except those who were confused out of their minds, sure they were new, but the East Blue? Seriously.
What they found, wasn't what they wanted.
Garp walked into Marinefords Headquarters upon receiving orders from Sengoku, and rushed to his office. The second he burst through the wall a neatly rolled up newspaper was thrown at him.
After quirking a brow he opened it and began to read. He got to a certain part and stopped his humming and rhythmic foot trappings and went completely silent. He walked over and sat in a chair without looking up from the paper once and continued.
Admiral Kizaru walked in and noticed Garp, who was being complately quiet.
Strange... Garps never quiet.
And when he is, it's never good.
He looked at Sengoku with questioning eyes to receive a shanking head and a frown.
After a few minutes Garp shot up, completely shredded the paper and walked out of the office using the door.
The door.
"Garp, I understand where you're heading. Take Kizaru with you. I'm sure he'll be helpful." Sengoku said with a minor plead.
Garp nodded without a single sound and Kizaru followed. They got to the Marine ship and started heading to the calm belt.
Kizaru finally had enough; he pay be patient but he wasn't Sengoku, he could only take enough.
"Garp-San, whats got you so distressed?" He asked calmly. In a lazy way.
Garp turned to Kizaru from his position looking at the sea and whispered quietly, "My home island was attacked, we'll a village. Burned completely to the ground. My granddaughter visits their all the time, so I'm a bit worried she got caught up in the crossfire's thats all." He said worried.
Kizaru nodded in understand meant. There's not a person at Marineford that hasn't heard the stories of his 'little princess.' And if you didn't they were rumored as Garps favorite past time besides eating rice crackers. Some Marines, such as himself, have been somewhat looking forward to meeting his 'little princess' but, something just tells him that Garps granddaughter absolutely hates being called little princess.
He was brought out of his thoughts by wood cracking. He looks up at the source and sees that Garp has found the railing of the ship as good way to keep his anger inside and not used on the Marines gathering aside him. Himself included.
What he saw, he almost wished he never did. He's seen a lot in his career and done a lot in his career, but never has he seen something this bad. This horrid. This sinister.
Yet, somehow a lone building stood. Charred, but standing. The question was why?
Four people were furious beyond on the rest and only two of them were the cause.
Questions were how and why?
How did this happened? Why did this happen?
All anybody knew was that, questions needed to be answered. But, questions also needed to be found before, they were answered.
