CHAPTER 74 KUJA PIRATES

CHAPTER 74 KUJA PIRATES

I was in the black room with red lights. I had been putting it off for days, but this vacation was needed. I would miss Toru, but she would be there when I got back. Without hesitation I stepped into the One Piece World. Ready to do battle.

Still standing on the water I watched as the giant frog/fish attacked the large snakes that drove the Kuja Pirate boat. Women yelled and screamed on the boat. None risking the water as they were attacked. I waited. Counting to 100 the pain began. Dull needles sticking into my body it wasn’t near as bad as when I got to MHA, but it was still bad.

My chakra going haywire I dropped into the water. Forcing myself to stay afloat I didn’t sink down and within a few seconds the pain passed. Breathing out I pushed chakra to my hand, allowing me to lift myself out of the water. When I was on my feet I began running at the frogman.

Speeding up I poured chakra through all of my body. I had prepped for this for a long time. Pulling the Seastone Jitte out I coated it in seawater as I made it into a long blade. My body and mind prepped for this I knew I was ready.

I got closer and closer, the boat and sea king growing bigger as I did. I ran up the back of the beast. Unnoticed as I used chakra to stick to the slippery skin. The frog was much taller than the boat. Able to float on the water somehow it was trying to bite the head of one of the giant snakes. I crested the top of it’s head and stabbed it in the eye.

The frog reeled back in anger, letting the snake go. It curled up, trying to protect itself. The frog began hopping on the water somehow. Trying to shake me off it’s head. I was sticking to it with chakra with all I had. It blindly hit the boat, causing screams from the women on board. I drew the Jitte back and stabbed it in the other eye. This time it gave up.

Sinking into the deep immediately I had to release my hold. Soon back on the water I couldn’t help but be freaked out by the idea of it coming after me from the depths. I ran to the boat. Climbing up the side I let out a sigh when I wasn’t attacked.

On the railing of the boat I looked around. But women had been thrown overboard when the frog hit. I cursed. Running across the deck I dove into the water as I put my Jitte away. There were many women climbing back onto the boat. But not all. I dove down. Using chakra like a handhold as if I was climbing down the water.

I noticed 2 of the sisters. Both were gigantic. One with orange hair, the other with green. They had devil fruit powers and were unable to swim. I couldn’t find Boa Hancock though. Looking further away I noticed her black hair. Casting 2 shadow clones they grabbed the bigger sisters. Pulling them up by their hair as they swam back up.

I headed for Boa, the hot sister. Moving through the water I ignored the fear of the frog coming back for more and went for her. It didn’t take long to reach her. When I did I grabbed the back of her red kimono instead of her hair as I swam us to the surface. Getting back to the surface took effort. I could have sworn I felt the frog below us. Standing guard I slowed my ascent, ready for an attack that never came.

When I did resurface everyone was out of the water. Throwing Boa over my shoulder I climbed us up the hull. Dumping her on the deck with a sigh my clones disappeared, freaking the women onboard out more.

“Who are you!?” One of Boa’s sisters spat.

I ignored her, looking to Boa I didn’t think she was breathing. I began compressing her chest. One of the sisters made a move for me but I glared at her. She looked to the deck in shame. I began CPR then. Breathing in her mouth I was mostly spitballing on what to do based off TV. I began pressing her chest again. Counting to 40 as I did. When I went to give her mouth to mouth again she puked in my open mouth and face.

I couldn’t help but reel back in disgust as she turned over, puking more. Moving back I frowned as her kimono opened. The top falling down I got a glimpse of her glorious chest but also the scar on her back. I cursed, turning around. I knew she had an issue with people seeing her back, especially men.

I decided it was best to simply walk away a little. Let her recover. There was chatter from the other women on board, so I moved to the giant snakes. They were attached to the front of the ship with chains they could slide in and out of. One was curled up on the water, the other next to it, prone.

Digging through my One Piece Shop there were bandages in the miscellaneous tab as well as some medicine. I bought them and approached the snakes. They eyed me but didn’t move as I applied medicine to their wounds. Buying more and more bandages it took a while but they were eventually wrapped.

I helped pull them to the ship. Neither in any condition to move I couldn’t pick them up, but I did help them along. They were soon curled up at the back of the ship, watching everything around them. When I walked to the front of the ship the women were waiting for me.

Boa was as regal as ever. A red kimono with flowers on it, her large chest sticking out, perfect black hair along her back, she really was beautiful. She stared daggers at me as I walked up.

“Did you see?” She asked, angry at me.

“The Shichibukai, Crocodile. He fucked up the Alabasta Kingdom. I have to go help fix it,” I said.

“Impossible,” she said. “You are an unknown. There is no way you could beat Crocodile.”

“Unknown?! I have a bounty,” I said.

“You do?” She asked, genuinely intrigued. “How much?”

I hesitated. “15 million berries,” I grumbled.

She laughed. “15? Crocodile was 80 million before he became a Shichibukai,” Boa said, a cocky grin on her lips.

“Oh yeah? What was your bounty? I’ll kick your ass just to prove I can kick his,” I said. She stiffened as if struck. I put on a wide grin. Punching my knuckles together. “I already proved your love beam doesn’t work on me. What else you got?”

“A pirate crew, what about you?” She asked, accepting the challenge as she balled her fists.

“I have a crew. They’re just not here right now,” I said.

“Did they abandon you on the water? Is that why you were out in the middle of nowhere?” She asked.

“No, I had to fight off a bunch of marines so they could escape. And you should be happy I did, or else you would be toad shit on the bottom of the ocean right now,” I said. I had to admit, she was beautiful, but annoying.

She bit her lip, unable to think of a retort. “Captain,” the navigator said. “We have docked.” Boa and I looked around, noticing that the other members of the crew were staring at us. We had in fact docked on the island.

“Good,” Boa said. “Get the doctors on board to look at our mounts. Begin unloading the goods.”

“Where is Alabasta from here?” I asked the Navigator.

“Umm a week?” She said quickly.

“What direction? I need to catch up to my crew,” I said.

“Uum,” she said looking around but was stopped by Boa.

“Don’t answer that,” Boa said. “This man still has questions he needs to answer.”

“You try and hold me and I’ll just run,” I warned. “My crew is in trouble.”

Boa frowned. “A day. Leave in the morning. You could use the rest.... And a bath,” she added with a sneer. I looked down at myself. My clothes were dirty, covered in sweat and grime from 3 days of working nonstop. I sighed. I had hoped to swoop in, make a good impression on Boa and head out. But this quest had turned into a pain in the ass, and her a bigger one.

“Fine, but tomorrow I leave,” I said. She frowned but nodded. I sat down and watched the women work as I tried to relax.
