Hello! I return to you with a new chapter C:
So, Ten Commandments told me that Imogen and Luffy are similar.. And if anyone else thinks that, I'm sorry! I didn't even think about that when I was writing.. I don't know how it ended up in way that made it seem like they were similar! Forgive me.. I'll be sure to be more attentive to that kind of stuff!
So, after my ramblings, enjoy this chapter (I hope)!
"You sure you've got everything?" Imogen asked as she continued skating around the little make-shift rink she had made in front of Maya's house, doing twirls and spins.
"Yeah, pretty sure," Maya replied as she hefted her bag over her right shoulder.
"Then let's get going!" Imogen said setting off down the road.
As they walked back through town, Imogen's eyes wandered to the figures of the many lovely women in the streets. She grinned as she eyed one in particular with long, voluminous brown hair and a curvaceous body. I'd definitely give her a ten, Imogen thought.
She was snapped out of her perverse daydreaming when Maya spoke up.
"So, which one's yours?" she asked, nodding her head in the direction of the ships at the docks. She eyed some of the more… eccentric ones.
"That one there," Imogen said as she pointed at a little dinghy.
"That…?" Maya asked, frowning at the little boat. "You've got to be kidding, right?" She asked, slumping at the thought of being squished into a little boat with someone else.
"Nope, I'm completely serious," Imogen sighed as she jumped into her little boat, making it rock slightly. "Sorry bout that, we can get a better boat once we have more crewmembers!"
"Oh, damn it this is going to be really uncomfortable," Maya grumbled as she tossed her bag into the dinghy.
"Look on the bright side!" Imogen said, grinning mischievously.
"What bright side?" Maya asked, hopping into the dinghy next to Imogen. Imogen grinned as she hugged Maya's arm.
"We get to be closer~" she chirped, making Maya blush again.
"Gah! Give me some space, please?!" She exclaimed, squirming as Imogen hugged her tighter.
They set off after some teasing on Imogen's part, headed for the next island.
At some point as they were sailing, Maya fell asleep. Imogen grinned as she lay down her head against Maya's chest, falling asleep soon after.
"Oi, I'm seeing some shitty little dinghy comin' up behind us," A scrawny man called, informing the others on the ship.
"Who's on it, ya dumbass?" Another man, this one incredibly muscular, asked impatiently.
"Just two girls," The scrawny man reported.
"Women?!" The muscular man shouted, grinning wolfishly as he knocked the scrawny one over and forcefully yanked the telescope from his thin hands, bringing it up to his face and peering back behind the ship.
"A bit small on the curves, but they'll do," He chuckled, closing the telescope and heading toward the back of the ship to wait till the dinghy arrived.
Maya yawned as she awoke, feeling a dull pain in her back from sleeping in such an awkward position in the wooden dinghy. She tried to sit up, only to find her movements restricted by something on her chest. When she realized it was Imogen, her face first heated up from embarrassment, before she sighed, gently pushing the sleeping girl onto the floor. She stood, stretching and glancing around.
She blinked in surprise when she saw a ship, larger than their own, directly ahead of them and slightly to the left.
"Eh? I wonder if they're pirates…" Maya asked herself as she grabbed her staff, just in case they decided to start something.
"Well, hello there, pretty little lady," A large man called over the side of the boat, grinning widely at Maya, who frowned up at the man. Imogen woke up then, yawning and stretching out awkwardly.
"Hmm… Oh hey Maya, who's that guy?" Imogen asked as she stood up.
"I don't know… we just came up beside his ship a second ago," She replied, glancing at Imogen.
"Hmm… Hey baldy!" Imogen called, for the man was indeed bald. "Who're you and what'cha want?" She asked.
Growling, the man replied "Don't be so rude, little missy!" He snapped, cracking his knuckles.
"Hey, it's not called being rude, it's called being truthful!" She snapped back, huffing in annoyance.
"Yeah, well I'll be real truthful and tell ya right now that yer friend there is a real looker, and I'm ready to take her and have some fun with her, if you catch my drift," He said, glancing down at Maya. By then, others had joined the first man and were showing their support.
"Like I'd wanna have some fun with you!" Maya scoffed, crossing her arms. She was already sick of this weird pervert. "I doubt you'd have much to show anyway, if you know what I mean!" She added, grinning at his angry red face. The other men were howling with laughter.
"Ya hear that, boss?!"
"She thinks you're small in size! Bwaahaha!"
"Who's to say he's not, eh?"
"Little bitch, I'll beat you and yer twerp of a friend!" He snarled, gripping the railing of the ship tightly. The other men on the ship cheered their agreement, grinning down at the girls.
"Come up here and get yer punishment for insultin' me, "Big Man" Carson Jones!" He bellowed, again causing his men to cheer. "I've got a bounty of eight million beri, and you twerps've got nothin' on yer heads!"
"Why'd they call you "Big Man"? Are you compensating for something with those huge muscles?" Imogen asked, grinning widely as Maya burst into a fit of laughter.
"Alrighgt, get yer skinny little asses up here!" Jones roared, taking a pistol out of his pocket and shooting the dinghy in several places.
"Wah! Our boat!" Imogen cried.
"Calm down, we can just take theirs, if we beat them up," Maya said, smiling widely at Imogen.
"You're right!" Imogen chirped, tossing Maya's bag and her own on board and hitting one of the men square in the face. "So let's take them up on their offer!"
Both girls jumped on board the ship, Maya swinging her staff and smacking a man out of her way as she landed on deck. Imogen was right behind her, landing on the railing and lashing out with her left foot, kicking three men across the deck and into the ocean.
Maya dodged an attack from her right, kicking low to knock the assailant down and slamming her staff into his forehead as he hit the deck. She then whirled to the left, swinging her staff into another man's side. When he fell to his knees, Maya whacked him upside the head with a loud crack, letting him fall unceremoniously to the deck.
"I hope I don't have to beat up all these guys," Maya grumbled as she glanced in Imogen's direction.
While Maya was kicking ass, Imogen made her way over to Jones. She dodged an attack from the overly-muscular man, landing on her hands and swinging both legs up. Her attack was blocked by one of Jones' swords, the metal from her skates and his sword clashed, the noise ringing in Imogen's ears.
"Skates? Are you kidding me?" Jones snarled, knocking Imogen's skates away. Imogen grunted as she landed back on her feet, crouching and ready to attack.
"What's the matter, scared of a girl in skates?" Imogen teased, laughing as she dodged another attack from Jones. He growled and yanked his sword out from the deck, towering over Imogen.
Before Jones had time to attack, Imogen hopped back onto her hands and spread her legs out to the sides, spinning rapidly and slashing not only Jones, but all the men within range of her skates.
Once the others were out of the way, Jones came at Imogen, angling his sword and thrusting it at the blonde's abdomen. Imogen just barely dodged, frowning when her vest got cut.
"Hey! I like this vest!" She shouted angrily, aiming a kick for his stomach. Jones laughed as he dodged and punched Imogen in the gut, sending her flying across deck and into the kitchen.
"Haha! I don't even need my sword, do I?" He asked, sheathing his sword once more and balling his large hands into fists.
"Gah… I should really be more careful," Imogen grumbled to herself as she stood from the pile of splintered wood and walked out of the kitchen. She winced when she realized she had quite a nasty cut on her side from the wood, and her stomach was sure to bruise.
"Being careful won't help ya here," Jones exclaimed, grinning as he ran towards the girl.
Imogen dodged this time, Jones' fist colliding with the rest of the kitchen wall. He cursed as he yanked pieces of splintered wood from his fist.
"Not so bright, are ya?" Imogen mocked. "You got yourself hurt instead of doing any more damage to me!"
Jones growled, "I don't think you have much room to talk when you haven't gotten a single attack in on me!"
"Oh, you want an attack?" Imogen asked, smirking. She froze the deck and began spinning on her left skate until she was just a blur. Jones blinked in surprise before heading towards her. Still spinning, Imogen cut Jones across the chest two times with her skate before she readjusted the angle of her foot and kicked him into the rail with her heel, using enough force to crack the railing. She stopped suddenly, landing on both feet before she did a front flip and slammed both her heels into his head.
Jones grunted as he stood, blood trickling down his forehead. He pulled out both of his swords, glaring at Imogen as she waited for him to attack.
Jones darted forward suddenly, his first sword just barely missing Imogen's face while his second sword cut her arm. Imogen hissed in pain as blood trickled down her arm to her hand.
"How much did you say your bounty was worth?" Imogen asked, faking curiosity.
"Ten million beri!" Jones stated proudly.
"Eh? Wasn't it eight million last time? Are you lying?" Imogen asked, smirking as the man's face turned red.
"Of course not, bastard!" He shouted, stomping his large foot on the deck like a child throwing a fit. "I have a bounty, and it's ten million beri!" He insisted, glaring at Imogen.
"If you're gonna lie…" Imogen began, launching herself into the air, "Then at least keep your facts straight!" She finished as she came crashing back down, herskates digging into Jones' shoulders. He cried out in pain as blood trickled down both his arms. Imogen hopped off his shoulders and landed behind him, her left leg lashing out behind her and knocking Jones to the side.
"Damn it… I'll get you for that, blondie," Jones growled as he tried to push himself up.
"Should I really take your word on that when you lied about your bounty?" She asked casually, grinning as Jones got all worked up again.
"I SAID IT WAS TEN MILLION BERI AND IT IS, SO SHUT UP BITCH!" He roared, blindly lashing out with his swords. While he was in a state of rage, Imogen kicked him roughly off the ship, cheering as he made a big "splash" in the water.
When she turned around she saw that Maya had won her fight with the few crewmembers that Jones had accumulated. She was bleeding a bit, but nothing too serious.
"You okay?" Maya asked with concern as she made her way over to Imogen.
"Of course!" Imogen scoffed, waving it off. "Let's just get these guys off the ship; they're useless right now."
After they had dumped everyone into the sea (because really, where else would they go?) Maya tended to their wounds, working on herself first on Imogen's insistence.
"Thanks for that," Imogen said as Maya finished bandaging her up.
"No problem; I am here to patch you up after you get yourself into stupid fights, right?" She asked, smiling at the smaller blonde.
"Of course!" Imogen laughed as she tackled Maya into a hug, ignoring the sting of her wounds.
"GAH! You dumbass, let go; that HUURRTTSS!"
I hope you liked! I'm sort of proud of this one, though I'm not completely satisfied.

If you submitted an OC and I didn't list them here, It's either because I'm not sure whether or not we're on the same page/I'm not positive they're going to be used, or my awful organizational skills kicked in and they got lost in my mess of an inbox (oh, I need to clean that up .) because my internet was being hella slow for a bit. So just PM me or something and ask about it, don't be shy!
Who I still need (I think)
Musician
And if you think of another position that can be of use to the crew, tell me and I might add them into the "needed" section! Or just send in an OC with them and they'll be added to the "what I have" section.
I REALLY hope you enjoyed this chapter. So, tell me what 'cha think in a review and have a magniflorious day!
