It was … so quick. One second I was simply hiding in the forest; hoping that the Buggy Pirates don't fire those massive cannonballs at the general direction I'm in and the next I'm having my whole life flash before my eyes. My past life, the life I had before I was Edmond Vantas of Orange Town. A world where the tale of One Piece was known across the planet. A tale that let me know just what was out there for the taking.
I wasn't the best person before and as Edmond I was a thug at times. No real ambition and no real care for the law and with my new memories that only grew.

[Wooloo] - |Common Familiar| - Pokemon - Wooloo is the sheep Pokemon, which means it is a supernaturally cute and strong sheep with super luxurious wool that grows back entirely within 5 days compared to the average Wooloo. Despite being a powerful beast it has no combat instincts or skill so don't expect combat from it.
Nah, one curse is enough. Especially when I have all I need for the moment; following the new instincts I slot the ability into place and grin as I feel my body strengthen with that on top of Brawler kicking in.
"Alright, lets go hunting." The question is how I want to play this?
Prowling along the rooftops, my claws out and my senses wired I manage to find Cabaji; rolling along on his unicycle. I get in a position to jump down only for him to turn and face me.
"Hah, you think I could be snuck up on. You're looking at the Chief of Staff of the Buggy Pirates. What are you some newbie bounty hunter." Well looks like we're doing this the hard way then.
"Names Edmond, I just decided I wanted to take you all out." Letting my new features come out I growl, a deep angry thing you hear in big cats that sets you on edge. Cabaji merely laughs.
"Oh so a devil fruit user. Hah compared to Richie that's nothing. Alright lets make this quick; Captain Buggy will be interested in having you aboard.
I'll say this for Cabji, he really drove home this is not a game, an anime, or a manga. Cabaji was a joke character, an idiot that used stupid gimmicks even Usopp would think twice about and he almost took my head. Still he was base human in the East Blue, even if that gave him an edge above a human of earth I was beyond that with my White Tiger Form.
His experience in fighting let him control the pace and made me work for it, cycling around me and pulling out his tricks to keep me at a distance for a while but once I was in close I was able to disarm him.
"AHHH!!" In the literal sense; I'm not Luffy or any other Shonen hero.
"Wai…ghhck!!" Another swipe of my paw and I tear his throat out, letting him collapse forward to lie in a pool of his own blood.
"Fuck, lesson learned." I have to be smart about this, this is someplace I can go wild but plenty of people are waiting to do the same.

or
[More Eyes] - |Common Ability| - You can manifest eyes anywhere on your body. You will not be disorientated by the multiple instances of vision you manifest.
Venom; once I get more ability slots I'll be able to be a tiger with some extra bite. Now then, thats one officer down, probably best to hunt down the other before his lion can sniff out his dying crew member. I take the time to toss Cabaji's corpse in a house so it isn't out in the street before I head out hunting again.
Finding a giant lion when you have a tigers senses isn't hard and they're too busy yelling at the dog to notice me. Heh, got to respect the mutt for standing up to them; gives a new meaning to underdog. Still I have to think about this carefully; Richie is huge and could bite me in half most-likely.
Legs coiled up like a spring, I let my claws come back out and launch. The force of my blow sending me flying towards Richie, the massive lion only just seeing me as I slam into the side of his throat and start tearing away at him. Bouncing away from the lion, his throat ruined from the massive tracks my claws and fangs had torn into him.
"RICHIE!!! YOU BASTARD!!" Mohji scrambles for his whip but I'm in front of him before he can even get it loose and my fist slams into his nose, shoving the bone back into his head. He stares at me for a second before the life leaves his eyes and he collapses onto his back.

"Well that was something." I turn around, having heard the footsteps, and find Nami standing behind me. >
"So got to say that was impressive. I don't think a lot of people could take on that lion … is that a devil fruit?" Oh Nami, how little you know about this world.
"Something like that. Names Edmond, and you?"
"Nami and I have an offer for you. See I want a map Buggy has and well you can't expect a beautiful maiden such as myself to handle him and his crew alone. So how about this, you help me and I make sure it's worth your while." >
She says nothing about specifics, doesn't promise anything. Just a tug on her shirt and a wink; sadly for her I'm not like most guys.
"I suppose another set of hands would help. Besides I could use some bait to lure out more before we go for the main group. You up for playing lost and naive newcommer?"
"Oh am I, come along Edmond. I'll show you just what I can do. You just make sure to keep me safe and we'll get along just fine." I can practically see the knife in her hand. Still I won't look a gift horse in the mouth, the view from behind isn't bad either. >

You can increase your removal percentage by training.
Oh now this is useful; for now I focus on the navigator.
"So what exactly does this map of Buggy's have on it that has you wanting it so badly?" Nami looks over at me and seems to be thinking over her answer before she speaks.
"It's supposed to have a route to the Grand Line and that can be useful." She says no more and I don't prod further, content to walk silently as we hunt down any of Buggy's patrols.
Kill 10 people: Bronze Ability Ticket
[Water Breathing] - |Common Ability| - Allows the user to breathe underwater as if they were on land.
Oh now that is a game changer, against Arlong alone that could be incredibly helpful and that isn't including the myriad of other situations I could need that.
"You uh… you sure that was necessary?" Nami is eyeing me like a dangerous animal as I flick the blood of my claws.
"Orange Town lost nearly a fifth of their population to these guys, I'm not holding back." Not that I care about the deaths but they're a good excuse for the moment and Nami clearly accepts that given the worry leaves her face.
"Oh, I guess I can't fault you for that. How much of his crew do you think is left."
"Probably a good chunk but if we take out Buggy I think the rest will scatter." Not that I can kill him, freaking Shanks will probably show up for revenge over his fellow Roger Cabin Boy. "So do you have a plan for this?"
"I was thinking we could try getting in from inside. I show up and say I got the jump on you after you took out some of his grunts, you suitably tied up to sell the image and then we jump him from the inside." Heh, still aiming for the double cross, almost cute really.
Still it wouldn't do to let her think she could yank me around.
"Or rather then risk me getting a bullet in the eyes as soon as you show me bound up we make a ruckus and go for Buggy when he sends more people off to check things out." My tone shifts just enough to make it clear I didn't approve of the idea and Nami stops walking for a second and nods rapidly, eager to appease me.
"Sure, still any thoughts on how we can do that?"
"I know where the town keeps the flares for bad weather days, I think we can put those to good use." I know I'm grinning and even Nami has a evil smile grow on her face as I describe my idea.
"Alright light the fuses Nami." With a grin Nami does so and lights the fuses, flares taken from the storeroom on the docks, angled to fire towards Buggy's base. With a barrage of pops a rapid fire of glowing balls of slams into the ground and wall of the base. Cries ring out as the walls catch on fire, members of the Buggy Pirates rushing out of the building to put the fires out while Nami and I duck behind some chimneys.
"FIND THE BASTARD WHO THINKS THEY CAN INTERRUPT MY REVELRY!! I'LL TIE THEM TO A BUGGY BALL!" With that order the Buggy Pirates scramble out into the town as Buggy comes out of the building, his face showing off his rage as he grinds his teeth.
"Hey Big Nose!!"
"WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT MY NO…"
'CRACK!' My fist plows into his nose, the former Roger's pirate falling back with a shattered nose. His head popping off with his devil fruit power and rolling to a stop before my feet. A faint moan coming from his mouth as he lies there.

[Bitch Breaker] - |Uncommon Trait| - Sometimes all a bad attitude needs is a good fucking, you are an expert at correcting attitudes through sex correction.
Well that will come in handy down the line; I notice it doesn't say the exact definition of bad attitude after all.
Scouring the building has us netting about 1 & 1/2 million beri, a tidy sum to start a journey with even though that is chump change to in most places outside East Blue. It's amazing just how much the clash of this body's knowledge and my past life's knowledge shows just how … isolated and unaware the average person is in this world.
They know it's dangerous but they don't realize just how easily some people could wipe them out with a sneeze. Then again printed newspapers are their main source of information so thats always going to affect things.
Still for all that money is great the real prize has to be the Buggy Ball formula it might go right over my head but this has potential down the line. After all even the Muggy Ball could damage one those beasts in Impel Down.
"Now then what do we have behind door number six?" This was the final room in the building, stuck away in a corner and clearly some kind of storage closet. I'm not expecting much when I open it but hey I can admit when I'm wrong.
.
------>
.
"So you come here often?" I can't help but quip and the gag only blocks so much of the growl that comes after.
"Hey Nami, you go and count up the loot will you. I'm going to check something out." Nami doesn't even question it, too eager to count up the Beri. Turning my attention back on Revy, and it has to be her, I slice her legs free with my claws and get her arms unbound from the chair, still bound behind her back but no longer stuck to the chair. For a second she looks hopeful, not much but its there, only for that to change when I start stripping. She lashes out with a kick but I laugh as I bounce back away from, taking off the last of my clothes as I do so and grabbing her from behind.
"Got some spirit, that will make this even better." I thrust in with that; taking in the feeling of her squirming body trying to break away as I invade her hole. >
There's no real lubrication but my body is tough enough to handle it. Revy grunts as I take her, fighting against my grip but unable to break free. Her struggles only add to my enjoyment as I fuck her harder. >
"NGGH!!!"
"Oh yeah! That's a good hole, take it!" I let out as Revy cries. Despite herself I can feel her body responding, her pussy starting to get wet as I pound inside her. Despite her cries and attempts to break free it isn't long before she's cumming around my cock; fighting against it all the while. This lets me get a good look at the limitations of Bitch Breaker; it isn't mind control and it won't make someone willing. It just makes them more malleable; good enough for me though.
"FUCK!! TAKE MY LOAD BITCH!!"
"NNHH!!!"
.
---------->>
.
"Ahh that's a good bitch, fuck you're still so tight!"
"UHH!!"
"What's that? Fuck you even harder till you're legs give out, no problem!" I think on it for a second and decide to hear what she has to say; taking the gag out without stopping in my efforts to reshape her hole.
"FUCKING BASTARD!! I'L… NHHH!!!" Revy cums around my cock, cutting off her threats as hit just the right spot. >
"Ahh, you think I care." I emphasize my point with a slam forward.
"Listen here, this is a dog eat dog world and I'm the stronger one between us bitch! So be a good hole and TAKE IT!" >
"F..fuck you!"
"No I believe I'm fucking you!"
"And there's another orgasm from the bitch, can't say I don't make you cum at least." >
"Ah… t..too much.. mercy!" After another two rounds Revy started to change her tune, less threats and more pleading. Her struggles stopping as she started to thrust back against me.
"Heh.. so much for all that bark. Still I bet you're here for a reason; so spill it. Why did the Buggy pirates ahve you all tied up.
"B..bounty hunter! C..clown bas..sterd's body split around my bullets, got a fist to the back of.. of the head and I woke up like that." I hum and keep up the pace, slamming into her as she whines in my arms.
"Well then you'll make a great addition to my new crew, welcome to you're new life as a pirate bitch!" With that declaration I slam into her one final time and release my final load for the moment. >
I let her drop to the floor, her pussy gushing with my cum as she lies there moaning with her eyes rolled back into her head.
"I'll let you stay there for a moment and rest up bitch but remember who owns you." My part said I walk out the room and head out to find Nami, leaving Revy to rest form the brutal fucking I gave her. >
-x-X-x-
I shouldn't have been surprised, honestly it was my own fault for not thinking about it. Nami clearly took this chance to run while my back was turned. Still she clearly didn't think this through entirely; after all she's trying to flee a predator. A tiger might not be the best at sniffing something out but their hearing is still excellent and it isn't just me that will be searching for her.
"Come on out girl." My Hellhound phases into existence and already knows what I want, sniffing around the room to pick up her scent. Growling when she picks one up, flames leaking from her mouth. >
"Good girl, now fetch."
-x-X-x-
She hadn't gotten far, not sure why she didn't go further. Maybe she wanted to plan things out, maybe she had an adrenaline crash. All I know is that a few minutes later I found Nami in an alley, breathing slightly heavily only to stop and stare at me in a panic when I landed in front of her. I stomp forward, slamming one fist above her head while i stroke under her chin with the claws on my other hand.
"Hey there Nami, you wouldn't belive what just happened. Some no-good-backstabber just tried to run out on me. Tried to cut me out and take the goods and run. Now that really ticks me off you know, some little bitch thinking she can get me to do all the work and then take all the spoils for herself.
"Ye…yeah I guess it would.. Thankfully I wasn't doing that. I was just looking for a safe place to stash it, just in case the townsfolk came back and started asking where their stolen money was." I give her the out for the moment, letting my tiger parts fade away and letting her up off the wall.
"Well aren't you a smart one. Don't worry though we won't be giving up a scent. Now lets go see about finding a way off this island before such a scenario does happen. Letting my hellhound grab the sack and drag it I lead Nami towards the docks, eager to see about getting a boat and sailing off. Of course Nami can't just get off scot free for trying to run but I manage to make it clear I won't let her try it again, holding her close to make the point stick.
I think she gets it.

I think the ship we're stealing belonged to a small-time trader that lived in town, nothing fancy with minimal crew room and not a lot of storage space but the guy specialized in quality over quantity. It only had two cannons but it had room enough for three and I know it's owner was dead, vaporized in the first wave of Buggy Balls. Nami apparently stashed the rest of her stuff nearby so that goes in the hold as well.
I leave Nami to prepare for hoisting off, my Hellhound and new Wraith watching her in case she tries something and should she make any moves to flee or shove off without us she won't get far. While she does that I make my way back to Buggy's hideout, the clown still knocked out in front of it. I can see several of his goons in the corners but judging by the bodies with bullet holes in them I guess Revy got loose. She's still here though, I can smell her.
Royal Beastkin was a blessing, my body already feels so much better on top of the previous enhancements. My new senses can smell her inside; a combination of gunpowder, tobacco, and something spicy coated in my scent. Walking inside with no fear I find Revy in the main hall smoking a cigarette with a pistol at the read, pointed up away from me and it stays that way. >
"Fuck you really got some balls. So tell me what exactly do you plan for this crew of yours to do." I stare at her and then smirk, fanged teeth being shown off as I let my new presence fill the area.
"I plan for us to live well, for us to take what we want and need. No longer having to just accept what we can get. I'll take what I want; money, luxuries, anything and everything is up for grabs."
"Oh I know, trust me I'm still feeling you're desire. Fuck it; its not like you're wrong. This is a dog eat dog world and if you want to be the wolf it might bring more then scraps. As long as I get my money and booze I suppose it won't be too bad; since you didn't ask earlier names Revy. Looks like I'm working for you Boss." I can see she her eyes trail down and smirk, Bitch Breaker might not be outright magic but it has its uses. Closing the gap between us I grin as grab her chin with one hand, the other snatching her wrist holding the gun. Faster then she can react I capture her lips with mine and force my tongue into her mouth; exploring each crevice as I draw forth a moan from Revy. Pulling away I smirk down at the blushing gunwoman.
"Just a reminder of what you're in for, now come along. We need to ship off and I want to be gone before the sheep get brave enough to come back." Or before Luffy shows up, don't know what he'll get up to now but I'd prefer it be far away from me.
"Yeah, help me grab the ammo I found though. Bullets and powder ain't cheap."
"See; you're embracing the lifestyle already."
"Ha, any bounty hunter that tells you they don't loot the dead is a liar or on e of those two idiots that followed Roronoa."
Nami wasn't stupid enough to try and run with my Hellhound watching her and she wasn't even aware of the wraith so she was standing at the ready when we got back.
"Revy meet Nami, she's with us because she tried to rip me off so now she gets to pay it off." Not that I ever planned to let her leave but that can be dealt with down the line. Revy nods and carries her bag to the crew quarters, Nami following along to get her own stuff in order. I listen in as they go, Nami unaware I can hear every word she's saying as she whispers a promise of half her money if Revy helps her get away. I listen in even as I examine the captain's quarters. Spartan but good bedding and everything one needs to survive, more then enough.
Revy doesn't respond until they're in their quarters, even that far away and behind doors I can hear them. Revy setting her bag down and then the sound of flesh hitting flesh, Nami crying out as she falls against the wall and Revy cocking a pistol.
"Listen here bitch I don't give a shit about you're issues. You tried to mess with a predator and instead of him ripping your throat out he simply decided you're working for him. Consider that a bit of luck and shut up; try and fuck me over, because I know you'll try it or if this fails he'll certainly make sure I don't like the results, and I'll put a bullet in each of your knees and toss you overboard. I hear the pistol get released and Nami stammering out an apology.
Walking back out on board I take in the shrinking Orange Town and in the distance spot a large bird flying towards the island.
Rubber Loony Toon dodged.
-x-X-x-
"So then Nami, I don't think you quite get it. I have eyes and ears on you at all times. I can accept … discomfort and a lack of joy. You certainly didn't expect to be working under me after all, but trying to get my Second in Command to commit mutiny. Well that I do take an issue with." I stare down at Nami with a mocking grin, Revy at the helm while Nami gets to stay in time out for the moment.
.
--------->
.
"So lets consider this a warning, try something like this again and I'll have to be … harsher." She curses me out but I let it slide off, mentally adding time to her punishment with each word, when she finally trails off I smile down at her.
"Okay Nami… let's be clear here." In an explosion of fur I know loom over her in my Beast Form, letting my presence leak out.
"I'm the one in charge, I'm the one you owe, keep testing my generosity in not taking a pound of flesh literality and I'll have to really punish you! Understood!" Nami nods; eyes wide open as she moves her head fast enough to be a blur. Shifting into a more human form I smirk down at her.
"Good, I'll let you out later. For now be a good little crew member and give me some eye candy
-x-X-x-
"We still on course Nami?"
"yes"
"What was that?"
"Yes Boss; should only be an hour or so till we get there." Nami grinds out as she stands by my side at the wheel; her navigation skills getting us to the Gecko Islands with ease. Benefit of One Piece, everyone has some degree of knowledge of how boats work. Kind of have to given they're the main method of travel. That means that between Revy, Nami, and myself we can easily take travel on the boat.
Still Nami hasn't been please, part of her punishment for trying to get Revy to betray me was the lose of control over her own wardrobe, my Costume Wardrobe making that an easy thing to do. I had the courtesy to make sure it was her favorite color at least. >
"Good, keep up the great work Nami." Patting her on the head I leave her to it, the Wraith watching her from the corner. Walking down the deck I enjoy the sight of Revy reclining on a deck chair, taking her break after her shift at the wheel.
"Should be about an hour out from our destination. Much as I enjoy the view I think you'll want to be armed" Revy looks up at me, puffing out a cloud of smoke. >
"Yeah, Yeah. I'll change in a minute. You plan on the idiot being dressed up like that?" Revy did not think highly of Nami but saw her value, didn't mean she didn't take potshots at her whenever she could.
"Nah she gets to be dressed up normally in town. Now hope you're ready." I look at the growing dot in the distance. "Because I'm looking forward to seeing just what you're guns can do."
Syrup Village here we come.
-x-X-x-
"Alright Nami, you're job is to look over that mansion and see whats up and remember. Try to run again my hound will bite." Nami glares at me but keeps all other signs of anger and fear locked away. I decided to give her an outfit she'd wear a few years down the line that I probably butterflied away. >
"Fine, you really are scum though."
"And some would call inherited wealth evil, I don't really care. Just do you're job and we can move along with a tidy sum."
Hopefully they keep a good amount of cash on hand but easily fenceable items will be appreciated as well, taking her arm in mine we slip out of the village and head up the path towards the mansion so we can case it out. Revy on guard duty at the boat to make sure no local tough tries anything.
"Sightlines are poor on the east side and I can tell that those windows aren't locked. Safe is probably in the middle of the house, maybe a basement but thats a coin flip." I direct my wraith to go and check for a basement and other safes, Nami spouting off things that will make it easier down the line for when we rob the place. It's when she tenses that I do so and follow her sightlines to see a young woman down the treeline waving at us.
.

.
Huh, guess Carina hasn't run off to the Grand Line yet. Nami is twiching beside me and her hands are clenched into fists. Then it's like a calm takes her over and she looks up at me with a icy grin.
"So Boss, you open to further 'recruiting'"
-x-X-x-
The three of us all back away from the mansion, heading further into the woods and away from the tree line to make sure we aren't spotted.
"Hey Nami, long time no see. You're looking well." Nami give Carina a small smile but theres a chill to it.
"Yeah its been a while Carina, what have you been up to?"
"Oh this and that, finding some pretty baubles to liberate and all that. So who's this?"
"Name's Edmond, Nami and I are working together for a time. So you planning to hit the mansion as well?" Carina nods and casts her gaze in the direction of the large building.
"Yeah, heard it had a hefty haul and that the guards were minimal. Don't know why but gift horses and all that." She looks me over and seems to come to a decision. "So rather then try and rush ahead of one another how about we work together for this."
"And would this end up like the last time we worked together." Nami is staring at Carina, a hint of violence in her eyes but Carina waves it off.
"Come on Nami I came back; I just needed to get his guard down. I promise we'll be splitting a pretty 50/50 with no danger here."
"Two things, one its going to be 25/75 in our favor. We have more people so we're doing more of the work."
"There's only two of you?"
"We have a third looking after the boat for getting out of here and can I assume you aren't volunteering to fight Kuro then." That makes both thieves pause and let me continue.
"Spotted him in the window, could be a doppelganger but I don't believe we're that lucky. Might have had one of his own to trick the marines though or maybe they just wanted to have a win and lied; either seems possible. So think you can take on Kuro, the man with a thousand plans and said to move faster then the eye can see?"
"…. Well when you put it that way 25% sounds great, although I'd like the lighter items I can fence then." Holding out a hand she grips it and we shake on it it. I fully expect her to try for the double cross as is her habit but for now she's another set of arms to carry things and another person to open safes.
"Alright we'll wait for nightfall and make our move. I'll go in heavy and take out any guards and Kuro. You two can sneak in around the chaos and make your way to any safes." My Wraith is already returning and I'll have it mark down where any hidden ones are for them to plunder. Carina fixes me with a heated stare and tugs at her shirt. >
"Sounds like a plan, we'll let you show of your stuff. I'll be counting on you to keep me safe handsome." Carina's words are smooth as silk and sweet as honey; it will be fun to show her just how out of her depth she is.
-x-X-x-
As the sun began to set I let a grin slip; drawing the attention of both girls as I stood up from the spot I had been resting and grin; letting my beast slip out.
"Alright, time to go."
My voice is far more guttural now and I can see the two shiver as my words ring out right before I'm rushing back towards the mansion. Two guards in the front don't even get a chance to react before being swatted aside, left alive solely because I don't want to set Carina off with the sight of bodies. Once inside I let out a howl that shakes and shatters windows, guards rush to investigate and end up down and broken for their troubles.
"W..what ever you are I won't let you hurt my lady!" I turn to find Merry holding a pistol at me, huh neat he's actually going to try and shoot an actual threat this time. Still pointless, I weave around the shot backhand him into the wall. Ribs break and it looks like a rough landing but he shouldn't die… maybe.
"Of course, the unplanned variable. So a wolf fruit of some kind and you have some speed to it." I grin at Kuro as he walks forward, fixing his glasses with his palm as his 'claws' are already in place. "Still this actually speeds up my timeline."
"A coward like you can't beat me Kuro, someone that runs from the sea should just lay down and die."
I see the twitch in his eye and my grin widens.
"You understand nothing, three years of acting like a friend, of playing servant, of slowly poisoning that little chit to have her finally die only for that blasted liar to keep her spirits up enough so that she just won't die. It's a few days early but I suppose if I don't have to involve those idiots on my crew it's all the better." Oh, so they are nearby. Have to go hunting then, Jango will be worth a ticket at least on his own and taking out a crew for sure.
Kuro rushes forward … he's so slow. Before Royal Beastkin I would have had to try to keep up but as it is I can make it out, the pattern takes a second to pick up. I weave around his erratic slashes, some hitting guards on the floor others carving up the walls. Once I see the opening though I strike, claws ripping into stomach; blood spilling from his mouth. He goes for a retaliatory slash and I bite into his arm, bones shattering in my grip.
"AHHH!!!" His cries ring out as I throw him against the wall and stomp on his leg, breaking it in two.
"You mentioned a crew, I wouldn't mind taking them on as well. Got a location?"
The implied threat of further pain doesn't need to be spoken, Kuro is smart enough to understand what happens if he doesn't cough it up. A series of coordinates are hissed out at me, something of a route they were supposed to follow. Sadly this is something you can't really confirm without going and I don't intend to let him live but I feel confident he isn't lying. Mostly from that slight gleam of hope I see in his eyes, small and hidden but it's there.
Kuro was the man that ran, the one to give up and try to hide away. If he thinks this can save him he'll go for it, selling his crew out isn't even a pause for him.
That hope leaves his eyes right before my claws pierce through them.

Kill Kuro, Captain of the Black Cat Pirates: Silver Ability Ticket
[Gust] - |Common Ability| - Allows you to conjure and control winds strong enough to injure and take grown men off their feet.
2nd slot unlocked
-x-X-x-
And suddenly I no longer have to worry about being becalmed and I can use two abilities. I slip Venom into my second slot and move along. Nami and Carina are probably still looting and I can leave that to them.
There's still one more way I can get a ticket here for the moment, I can occupy myself with that for the time being.
-x-X-x-
I find who I'm looking for in the master bedroom, trying and failing to even make an attempt at escape.
.
--------->
.
"W..who are you!?" I smile hungrily down on my prey, drinking in her fear. She's too weak to even run, barely able to hobble along the wall. Easy prey; not even worth giving my name to. I simply reach out and tear away at her clothing.
"AHHH!!! STOP!!LET ME GO!!!" >
"Heh, don't think I will. Such a sweet little morsel should be savored." Her clothes tear away and after getting my own out of the way. I flip her around in my arms, putting her in a full nelson and positioning her cunt above my hardened cock.
"P..please no!" Leaning in I whisper into her ear in response to her plea.
"Yes."
"WHAAA!!!" >
She cries as her virginity is taken, her cunt spreading out for the first time as my cock plunders it. I relish the feeling as I begin to pistion her up and down along my cock.
"AHHH!! IT HURTS!! MERRY!! KHALADORE!!! USOPPP!!! SOMEONE HELP!!!" >
"Oh that won't help, that Merry fellow is lying against a wall broken, don't know about whoever this Usopp but I'm asusming Kahladore was the name Kuro was using. He's dead but really you should thank me, he was a pirate. Bragged about poisoning you and how his own crew was coming.
"N..no that isn't possible."
"Oh it is, you just didn't want to see it. I mean the man barely changed his looks, can't believe it lasted so long. Oh and i think I found the spot I was looking for… HERE IT IS!!"
"AHHH!!!!" >
Swinging her around I put her into a carry hold and put the wall to her back.
"Mercy…MERCY!!" Her body is responding now, cumming along my cock as I pound into her. Her eyes rolling back as her tongue flops out. >
"Sorry little miss but this cunt is just too good to stop." I lean forward and snatch a kiss from her, forcing her tongue to submit just as much as the rest of her body.
"NAHH!!!!" >
I cum as she goes limp in my arms, filling her with another load as her upper body slumps against the wall, her arms just hanging there. >
When I'm finished shooting my load inside her I toss her on the bed, taking in the sight before me as Kaya sniffles and cries as her cunt leaks. >
"Hey now, we aren't done yet. Think of this as some much needed exercise after all that time laying about. Now here's your protein intake."
Crawling up over her I squat above her head and ignore her pleas to stop as I force my cock into her mouth. >
"YEAH!! TAKE IT ALL RICH GIRL!! COME ON!!" Kaya grasps the sheets but doesn't struggle, realizing the futility of that. She just takes it, choking around my cock as I see just how far back I can get it into her throat.
"Here it comes, eat up!!!"
"Mmmhhh!" >
When the entirety of that load is depositied I pull back and take in the sight.
A portion of my cum pooled in her mouth as her body twitches. >
"There we go, one more hole to go." She doesn't respond, not even when I flip her on her belly to take in her last untouched hole. >
When my cock pokes at her asshole though she stirs, her tear-filled and begging eyes meeting mine. Silently begging for me to reconsider, to leave her ass untouched. I don't comply, slamming in and spanking her for good measure. >
"UGCHHK!!" She cries out around the load in her mouth, some falling out as I grip her hair and pull her head back.
"Fuck all three of your holes are premium, guess thats a rich brat's upbringing for you."
"AHAHAHA!!!" She cries as I spank her ass with each thrust, holding her head up so that she can't burry her face in the sheets.
"Come on, you were fine just lying away and letting the world move without you before, WHATS THE DIFFERENCE!!" >
"ahhh.." Too tired to even scream Kaya just goes limp under my grip and I smile down on her.
"Heh, come on is this really so different then before. The world acting with you doing nothing, if you want to complain then get up and do something." She doesn't respond of course, honestly I give her credit for still being conscious even if she's completely out of it. A nasty thought comes to mind and I decide to indulge it, after all it's not like I haven't been embracing every dark thought that comes to mind.

"There we go, going to make quite the sight. Try not to be such a shut in going forward." With those parting words I make my way out, heading to the meet up spot to hook up with the thieves. >
"Hmm going to have to let Revy have some fun with the Black Cats, didn't really get to let her do anything here." Still I make it to the clearing where Nami and Carina wait with several large sacks, I have my own with a couple baubles I saw that looked like they'd fetch some decent Beri.
"Well I see you ladies had a good haul, any issues?" Nami shakes her head while Carina saunters up to me with a smile.
"Oh no you did excellent Handsome, no guards in sight and with all those little nooks and crannies pointed out we had a major haul. If we ever see each other again I hope we can work together once more. Great to see you as well Nami.. hehe here you go." Carina takes out a wallet and holds it out to Nami who smirks and brings one of her own out much to Carina's displeasure.
"Oh you sneaky bitch, can't ever get one over on you in pickpocketing. Well it was fun." She walks towards her share of the loot and my eyes go to Nami.
"Nami."
"She put worthless crap in our sacks and put the best pieces in her own, we still got the majority but she made this more of a 40-60 split." My hand shoots out and catches Carina before she can walk away.
.
---------->
.
"Well then, looks like I got another for the crew."
"W..what." I grin evilly at her and bulk up with a half transformation, Carina wilting under my gaze.
"See Nami here tried the same thing, thinking she could put me in danger and then rip me off. I don't let that slide so now you get to join my crew as payment for trying to fuck me over." Nami isn't outright grinning but the small smirk on her face shows her enjoyment of the situation.
"Now come along, we have a pirate crew to prey upon, treasure to steal and a new uniform for you to put on."
"N..new uniform?"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Say what you will but Carina can adapt, I had given her the clothes I wanted her in and she had quickly changed with no protest as we sailed off, no alarm yet raised. Probably wouldn't be till Usopp or some delivery arrived later in the day and by then Nami will have us close to intercepting the Black Cats and after that we'll be even further away.
"So Boss, can't say I hate the outfit but uh what am I supposed to do on the crew… I'm a good thief but I wouldn't say I have a ton of sailing knowledge." I look Carina over, the young woman doing her best to show off her assets. >
"Well eye candy is always appreciated but someone able to take care of the chores when the rest are busy is fine. You're other skills can be used when needed. Now go see if Revy needs anything. Just remember you try to run and I have to get … nasty." Carina nods and heads off to see what my foul mouthed second in command wants her to do. Lumbering behind her is my Brown Bear.
In One Piece I know this one won't be useful for long besides some extra tracking capabilities so I'll use her for what I can while I can and it that case it's to ensure Carina knows she's being watched.
"Alright then, set sail for those coordinates I told you Nami. I want to see how the cats handle a wolf."
"You got it Captain." I give her a quick smack on the ass for the sarcasm, smirking at the weak glare she gives me in response.
.
---------->
.
"Properly." Nami growls but does as she's told.
"Yes Sir Captain." Its forced but I take it and set my eyes to the horizon; eager to find the Black Cats and see what tickets I can get from their destruction.
-x-X-x-
"Uggh, I know it will be worth it but the wait is killer." We've been hunting the Black Cats for half a day now, I wasn't expecting it to be quick but still. Hopefully their fear of Kuro has them following that route he gave them precisely. Revy thinks it avoid patrols in the Gecko Islands so they probably are but they also weren't the brightest bulbs.
"Anything I can do to help Captain? I'm happy to do whatever you need." I look over at Carina, the girl smiling at me. Her unease hidden greatly but I could smell her nerves.
"Yeah come here." She can make the time pass easier at least. Throwing an arm around her and pull her closer as I palm a breast. >
"Ah.. so forward Captain." I grin and keep squeezing, Kama Sutra helping me make this far more pleasurable for her as well. I let my teeth become sharper and loom over her a little more as I grope her. Her smile becoming a bit more real and her legs buckling a bit as the scent of arousal starts to creep into her natural one.
"I said you would pay me back. As a member of my crew I'll look out for you but you earn that with making sure I'm taken care of as well."
"Ah… of course Captain. I.. I know I was a bad girl and tried to cheat you so I'll make it up to you however I can. You're being a lot nicer then the last guy that caught me after a job gone wrong."
"What can I say, it be a shame to waste such … talent." Slipping my hand inside her bikini I grope more skin and pull her even closer into my grasp. >
Catching her nipple between my fingers I roll it around, enjoying the feeling of her squirming up beside me before letting go and taking a step back. Carina remains still as I take in her backside and palm her ass. >
"Hmm you got some good muscle under all this curve."
"Of c…couse…" She stutters as I pinch her rear. ".. A girl's got to be able to take care of herself and carry her haul away."
"Hmm fair point… turn around." Carina does so looking up at me with a blush as she holds her arms behind her back. I slip my hand down the front of her bikini and grin at what I find. >
"Oh someone's eager."
"Y…yeah. Handsome, strong, in command, what can I say."
"You can kill the false flattery for the moment. I'll have you giving some real praise in a bit." Carina nods her head and I slip a finger inside, drawing a 'eep' from her.
"Hey Captain fuck around with Idiot 2 later, I can see those crotchsniffing Cat's boat." Revy calls down from her position on the mast and I pull back.
"Looks like we'll have to continue this later." Carina nods with a whimper as my fingers have a trail of her arousal connecting my fingers to her crotch for a second before it breaks. Well now I really have to deal with the Black Cat's quickly.
-x-X-x-
I'll give them this, the Black Cats were aware and paying attention. I could hear an alarm go off on deck as we approached and they turned to have their cannons pointed at us.
"Shit I'll try to evade!"
"Belay that! Keep moving forward!" I counter Nami and she stares at me in shock.
"What but …."
"I know what I said! Keep going towards them!!" Nami wants to argue but she does as she's told. Commander coming in clutch.
I was right not to be worried though; our enemy are terrible shots though; all they do is splash us with water at best as their cannons rain off to the sides of our vessel.
"INCOMING!" Revy cries out as a cannonball manages to make its way towards us.
"Alright, if an old fart can do it…" I let my body shift, combining White Tiger Form with my beast form.
I leap up and my fist meets the cannonball, metal meeting fur and flesh and losing. I land and see Carina and Nami staring in shock while Revy grins.
"OH HELL YA!! Now that's what I'm talking about!" I can hear the Black Cat's panicking at the sight of their barrage failing and we've gotten close enough now as we kept moving forward through the barrage. Grabbing Revy, letting my Hellhound and Wraith out to keep a further eye on the two thieves while we're gone. Oh I will see to it that they have some combat prowess someday but today is not that day. With a leap, Revy laughing in my grip as we fall towards the Black Cat's ship, we land on the Benzen Black to the shock of the pirates aboard.
-x-X-x-
Setting Revy down I leap towards Jango first. I don't want to risk his powers being useful in reality. I hear gunshots behind me and Revy hurling insults as Jango tries to get his chakram up; it's like its slow motion for me. The weapon shattering as my claws meet it, His face following the fate of his weapon as it was obliterated a second later.
"JANGO!"
"You Bastard!!" Those brothers cry out as they watch their captain die and rush me. I meet them with a grin, the fat one's guts spilling from his stomach and his skinny brother kicks helplessly as me as his brother dies on the ground.
"Really, thats the best you got? Weak." I snap his neck and throw his body at a grunt fleeing from Revy's rampage, sending him flying back towards Revy who guns him down. The rest of the grunts have no chance and within minutes we're standing on a deck of corpses. I don't hear anyone below us and with the ruckus we made their hearts would be pounding."
"Hehehe!!! Oh man you tore through them like a scythe through wheat." I turn to see Revy eying me in excitement and desire.
.
------------>
.
"Heh, thought they'd put up more of a fight. Still I think this ship will be a good upgrade. You mind dropping the anchor. I'm going to go grab the others and we'll move our stuff over."
"You got it Captain, you go get the idiots. They can do the cleanup downstairs while I see what the booze situation is like."
"Go ahead, you'll have earned it." With that I leap back onto our first ship. Nami and Carina standing on the deck.
"Alright ladies, we've just claimed a better ship. Lets pull up and drop anchor, we need to move on over and clean it up."

Nami and Carina were happy to clean up and sort out the below the decks while Revy and I throw the corpses into the ocean. That done we move our stuff aboard and get the ship moving towards an island with a cove we can anchor in for the night. We'll try to deal with the flags and the keelhead tomorrow. For now we make something of a meal and chow down, Revy taking the best of the booze we could scrounge up and heading to her new quarters to drink it down.
"You two follow me." Nami and Carina blink but get up and follow me as I head off towards the captains quarters, it won't be perfect but I do have a way to deal with some of their issues. Bitch Breaker should be a start on getting them to be in line.
The Captains Quarters are clearly still in the way Kuro had them. Neat and tidy with little personal items. Something to deal with later but for now there is other stuff to do.
Plopping down on the bed I look over at the two and smile at them, setting them both on edge and it only grows when I pull my pants and underwear off and let them see my cock. My length already hard at the thought of whats to come.
.
----------->
.
"Right then lets make this a contest. Rock Paper Scissors, best two out of three. Winner gets to be the one help the other deepthroat my cock." The two look at me in shock for a moment but they eye each other and I know I have them. This ship we're in is proof of my strength and they can't hope to get away.
The two girls are tied and the staring at each other as they commence the final round. When they throw their choices down and Nami goes with Rock again to claim the victory over over Carina and the Navigator leans back smugly as Carina's loss sinks in. >
"Well then looks like I'll be giving you a hand then." Carina starts to stutter but Nami forces her onto her knees before my swelling cock. >
"Oh.. this is…"
"Hey Carina, you need to be closer for this to work." Nami smiles as she pushes Carina closer, I let my Beast Form's size sink out in my cock and take in Carina's slight fear as I lay it out on her breasts. >
"Nami, be a dear and get her started will you."
"Yes Captain." Nami replies with a voice that could melt butter as she reaches up and grips Carina's hair.
"Ah is the tip already to much?"
"Mmhh!" >
"Looks like I was right to have one of you helping the other."
"Yes it seems Carina here bit off more then she could chew and this time she can't just run off! CAN YOU!"
.
---------->
.
"Hehe, oh man I've wanted to pay you back but never thought I'd get the chance. Fuck I actually have to thank you Edmond for letting me have this chance."
"MMHH!!" I lean back and place my hands behind my head as Nami starts to push Carina further down. >
"Come one Carina, down to the base! Shouldn't you be able to take this, always saying you're a tough girl!"
"GHHK!" >
"That's it, give his cock the full treatment. Savor it bitch."
"NMI!!!"
"What's that, hold me down more? Risk you're life for a chance to get off scott free? Couldn't agree more!" Carina cries as she is bounced up and down on my cock. Her throat squeezing down as I try to angle myself in certain ways that my new instincts tell me to.
"Nami, make sure she stays down."
"You got it boss, you heard him. Swallow bitch!" With that statement I let my load go, spilling out into Carina's throat. >
"Ahh thats the stuff. Let her up Nami." Nami does so and Carina scoots back. Seed she couldn't swallow leaking from her mouth as she pants and breathes through her nose. >
"Now then Carina, thank me for the treat before swallowing." Carina looks at me with teary eyes but nods and takes a pose. >
"Thnk U." I smile at her and gesture for her to go ahead, letting her swallow the cum in her mouth. Nami cackling the whole time. >
Before I can decide what to do next the door crashes open and Revy stumbles into the room, her intentions clear as she begins to strip. >
"Hic… put…putting the two idiots to use. Move aside bitches, I want another go with the Captain." I grin and get up to grab Revy.
"You two can go and pick out your quarters." Nami grins and grabs Carina who still looks slightly out of it.
"Sure, have fun Captain." Dragging her fellow thief out and leaving Revy and I to have our fun.

[Dominant] - |Elite Trait| - You are naturally dominant, its easier to assert yourself on others and act in a more dominant fashion. In addition, people are more receptive to your acting more dominant and assertive, especially submissive people.
-x-X-x-
Well now, thats an interesting way to wake up. I almost wish I could see what path the sniper chose to take now. I only hold onto that thought for a moment; things to do and places to be.
"Mmmh… fuck my ass is still sore." I look down at Revy, the former bounty hunter splayed out beside me ass up… okay maybe the day can wait an hour or so. Still I have plans for today so I can't take too much time.
Carina and Nami are only going to hate me more but they'll learn to get over it.
"COME ON; KEEP MOVING OR I'LL PUT A BULLET IN YOUR ASS!!" I look up from what I'm working on, art not being a natural thing for me but I manage to do a decent job of it. Off to the side Carina and Nami are running laps on the deck, Revy acting as … motivation to keep it up. Honestly I'm seeing One Piece's ludicrous growth in action as the two thieves handle themselves much better. I had started them off with other exercises and left Revy to run them around as I worked on something else.
I myself had worked had on some new innate skills in this body, jumping around the masts and rigging to get the most out of the acrobatics and agility I was now capable of. Hmm, it's about time they got a break.
"Alright take five." Both girls collapse where they are, panting for air as their sweet stained workout clothes make a wet smack from hitting the floor. Revy snorts and then starts her own workout, pumping some iron we found below deck.
"Y..you're a right bastard. … you know that." I snort at Nami's remark and in a burst of speed stand over her once more.
"Maybe, but I prefer what's mine stay… alive. Right now you two are a weak link and I don't intend to allow that to remain. So I'll keep this up, I'll make you two beg for death if thats what it takes because you are mine and I'm not letting anything take you away from me." I smirk as Nami and Carina's faces both turn even redder and I gesture towards my project.
"So what do you all think?" The three look at the sail I was decorating and nod, or Nami and Carina release grunts that sound more positive.
"Alright then, welcome to the Jackpot Pirates. You have an hour to cooldown and then we set sail. I'll take care of that ugly Masthead before we make our way towards the rough location I want us to go." Thankfully part of being a native of this world was picking up some things; like the Baratie's general location as they stuck to a certain area most of the time.
Sanji had no interest to me and I had no plans to mess with Zeff, you have to respect the man. However they did have one vital thing aboard that floating restaurant that I wanted and I aimed to get it.
-x-X-x-
Nami was sketching out a map, a basic thing on the Gecko Islands. Apparently the current one had some of the smaller ones misshapen and notes on the currents were off. It was fascinating to watch actually as she worked with total concentration.
"You're staring." Or not entirely fully concentrated on her work as she turns one eye to give me a angry stare.
"Can you blame me; its a wonderful view." Despite herself her cheeks darken slightly and she growls at me.
"Given I'm in this getup because of you yes I can." She snarls at me and I laugh.
"HAHAHAHA!! Oh my fault, thats funny." I move and Nami blinks in shock as she's slammed against the wall, hands pinned above her head. I grin as she shakes under my gaze, my eyes trailing over her body.
"See heres the thing Nami, you're in this situation because you tried to stab me in the back. You're in this situation because you gambled and you lost. You're mine now Nami." I get in close and take in grin as her breath starts to deepen. "You're mine and no one can have you but me. I'll take what I want from you, play nice and I'll care for you and reward you. Don't act like we haven't had some fun, you certainly enjoyed taking control over Carina."
"I..I…mmh!" >
I cut her off as I force my tongue down her throat, taking control and feeling her body go from tense to relaxed against mine as she give in to the kiss.
Take Nami's First Kiss - Bronze Skill Ticket
[Mixology] - |Common Skill| - You have the skills of a well-trained mixologist and bartender. You know how to mix most drinks and come up with your own alcohol combinations that taste great, as well as managing a bar and dealing with drunk people.
Not the worst skill set to have. Letting Nami go I smirk as her eyes shine with desire as she licks her lips.
"I'll leave you to it Nami, keep up the great work.
-x-X-x-
The East Blue has a reputation as the weakest sea, it shows in how easy the journey goes. In three days we manage to find the Baratie and only one mild hiccup in a sea-king getting in our way for all of ten second before I sent it fleeing with the presence of a Royal Beastkin; wouldn't try that on a Calm Belt Sea King but for an East Blue baby it works.
"So what exactly are you looking for here anyway Captain? I mean I heard the chow is great and they have a booze selection to die for but that doesn't seem enough for you?" I grin at Revy from my place at the wheel, Carina and Nami finishing up the light workout I assigned them; they still hated it but it was getting easier for them at least.
"The man in charge is a former Grand Line Pirate, we'll want the information he has." Revy nods, smart enough to know just how important good intel was.
"Okay ladies lets get cleaned up and dressed. I'm paying for everything and we're going to be eating good." Despite everything Nami and Carina looked excited at the thought of a good meal on someone elses dime; between the four of us we can make decent meals but the Baratie's reputation speaks for itself.
"So you have the idiots dressing up as eye candy, makes sense." I grin at her and she blinks before scowling at me.
"Oh no, I am not getting dressed up."
"Oh come on Revy, I got you something that will look great on you."
"Do I look like a pretty little bimbo to prance around with."
"No, you look like a sexy badass and you'll look even moreso in a dress with your guns." She blinks at that last part, ignoring my hand reaching around to knead her ass. Oh no, she pushed back against my hand; even better.
"I don't have to leave my weapons."
"This place serves everyone, I doubt they can complain as long as they stay holstered." Revy thinks for a second before nodding.
"Fine but I'm only drinking top shelf."
"That's fine, I'll enjoy a night with drunk Revy again."
"Fucking Perv … mmph!" She holds back a squeak as I pinch her ass.
"And proud of it; now chop chop Revy."

A suit and tie isn't really my thing but I can make the effort when I wish.
"Well you clean up nice at least." Revy calls out as she walks out on deck, smoking a cigarette as she shows off her dress. >
"You bet Captain." Carina answers the question as she and Nami walk out.
Nami in the red dress from before while Carina wears her outfit from her movie appearance. >
"Well don't you look lovely ladies. Now shall we go and dine?" I 'offer' my arms and Carina happily takes it while Nami does so more reluctantly; still she schools her expression and shows off her acting skills as she plants a smile on her face as we walk down the gangplank.
"My my looks like you're the one everyone wants to be?" Carina purrs as every eye turns our way; men staring in jealousy and lust. Some women as well but not as many; I still relish in their jealousy and impotent desire to take my place.
"Of course, I have such lovely companions after all." Pulling them closer we enter the Baratie, the smell hitting us all as several different scents combined from dozens of dishes that somehow combine into the perfect combination.
"Well hello there ladies… and other. I'm Sanji and I'll be you're waiter today. Please right this way." I can even put up with him for a chance to eat this well.

I have to work not to react as a trump card lands in my lap. Enel would find himself falling at my hands down the line that was for sure.
"Hey Captain, have you tried this dish." I look over to see Carina holding out a fork to me.
"Say ahh?" I open my mouth and let her feed me. Her motive's obvious but I'm willing to play along.
"Hmm, that is excellent." Sanji had dropped plenty of tidbits and treats off without a word or mention of price for Nami and Carina… and Revy but he seemed to realize she wanted no part while the other two were willing to play along with him. Still they remembered who held their leashes.
"Thanks again for bringing us over here Captain … I'll make sure you don't regret it." Carina stage whispers into my ear as she smushes her chest against my arm. Nami frowns at that and does the same on my other side, not willing to let Carina get ahead.
I can see Sanji seethe as he looks on at me and my crew in jealousy and rage. Perfect, play right into my hands won't you.
I was expecting it to be easy given Sanji's weakness to women and jealousy of all who could get one and it was. The man just could not resist the urge to throw down with me.
Oh it took a bit to do it, having my two thieves hang off my arm while a third lovely woman sat at our table certainly had his temper flaring but it was what came after that did it. Quick pinches to the rear, running my hands along their bodies with quick but noticeable pauses along their legs and the sides of their chests. Whispering promises of what I would do to them later, their faces growing red with my descriptions.
"I hate to ruin a meal but enough is enough! I won't let you stand there and show o… I mean molest these maidens." I smirk at Sanji as I let my hands go down and cup their asses, giving an extra noticeable squeeze as I do so.
"I think you'll find my crew has no problem with this and we weren't causing a scene till you came up and made a racket. Sounds like someone just can't handle someone being better then him." Oh how red his face gets as he takes that in, Carina and Nami playing their parts as they squirm in my grasp.
"You…"
"Still I don't like idiots ruining a good time, got a place we can fight? Rather not make a mess in here, seriously my compliments to the chef." Sanji pauses, unable to not accept a genuine compliment to his cooking.
"Thank you, now come on I'll kick your ass out on the deck and then I'll see these ladies free from you're grasp." I laugh as I get up, Revy sighing and picking up her drink to go. Nami and Carina also follow as well as others, eager for the show thats about to go down.
"Collier!!!" I put up an arm to keep Sanji from striking my neck. I wanted to go a little easier on him at first, to not break him and risk having Zeff in a killing mood. I thought this would be a cakewalk… I honestly owe Sanji one. I got arrogant, forgot this is only the East Blue and even that produces Monsters and I'm fighting 1/3rd of that future trio.
Sanji has talent on me, skills and experience honed over years under Zeff and against all manner of rowdy customers. It's only the fact my body is far beyond his level that Sanji hasn't left me with broken bones.
"LET ME GIVE YOU A LESSON YOU'LL NEVER FORGET YOU BASTARD!!! ANTI MANNER KICK COURSE!!!" I find myself sent to the ground after that last attack; my side throbbing a little. Heh oh man this is actually fun; my blood is rushing as I taste blood from where he got me in the face early on.
"Okay you earned your rep, I heard about someone with feet of steel being the gatekeeper here. You deserve me at my most serious! RAHHH!!!!" I let the wolf come out, my shirt and jacket tearing apart as fur and muscle take up too much space for them to remain intact.
"Come little Chef, lets see if you got what it takes to handle me."
In a flash the fight took a whole different pace, Sanji unable to follow as I dance around him. I restrain myself from using my claws, keeping it to fists as I beat him to a bloody pulp; laughing all the while.
"GCK!!" He cries as his nose breaks and he slams down into the ground, his suit torn, his nose broken, and one eye already swelling shut on top of potential fractures and other injuries.
"Now then; I liked your cooking way too much to kill you and If I ruin your hands that might as well be a death sentence for you but I can't let you mouth off to me and just walk away… guess I make it so you have to crawl." I grab him by a leg and hold him in the air, blood dripping to the ground from his face as I grip further down with my other hand and prepare to make a wish.
"STOP!" I don't let go but I do stop and see Zeff standing there, I can read the tenseness in his body. If he thought he had a shot he'd try to attack me but that just means I'd have to hurt Sanji even further at minimum.
"Can't just let him walk away without paying the price. You don't keep a rep doing that, you should understand that." I don't say the title but I glance down at his legs and Zeff clearly understands the unspoken part.
"And what price could I offer in recompense for my son's foolishness." Oh got to love that instant claiming, go Zeff.
"I want your notes. Don't need the originals or even your course but everything you can tell me about what awaits me on the Grand Line will do, recipes as well. I don't have a dedicated chef yet but proper recipes should help cover that for now." Zeff stares and then nods, I do believe he would give me even his old logbook with the leverage I hold in my hands right now but just copies and information. That's a steal to keep his son from being crippled. With that I toss Sanji towards some of his fellow workers, I trust Zeff to keep his word and holding a hostage the whole time sounds like a pain.

Zeff didn't kick us out thankfully, letting us finish our meal as he wrote down what we wanted. I got a few more dishes to eat, a little hungry after the spar I just had.
"What the fuck did you say!" I look to see Revy screaming at Patty!!
"Look lady the fact is South Blue Tequila is too low class, got a problem with it well too bad." I facepalm at Patty's answer which earns him a slightly drunk Revy pulling her gun out. >
"You want to say that again Ham-Hands!! I'll have you leaking like a sieve!!" I go up behind her and grab her gun away, snagging my other arm around her and to keep her for going from the other one.
"Just walk away man, I'd rather we don't leave Zeff too many men down." Patty shuffles away, hands in the air and I hold the kicking and screaming Revy close as she tries to lunge for him. When Zeff arrives to the sight I take the offered notebooks and shake my head.
"Sorry about this, tell that big armed guy to not piss off people with guns though."
"Dang it Patty, right you have your notes and I won't charge you but I want you gone." Tossing Revy over my shoulder I wave over my shoulder as I walk out with Carina and Nami at my heels.
"No problem, great food old man. I hope I find a chef that can reach your heights at minimum." I get no reply but I'm not too surprised, didn't expect him to like me after everything. Now then…
"Revy that could have cost us notes on the Grand Line, a potential graveyard for the stupid and uninformed." I grin over my shoulder at her and she pales. "Got to give you a reminder of way you keep that anger leashed till I tell you to let loose."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Come on, say the line."
"I hate you…. Magical Girl Revy-Chan is here to save the day with the power of love and friendship!" >
Its the little things sometimes. Nami and Carina a certainly laughing up a storm at the sight.

It happened a day after we left the Baratie. I had seen Nami on edge, not even because of me but because I purposely let us get closer to the Conami Islands. I watched as she eyed a life raft and began tracking my familiars when they were out. Revy clocked it as well but a shake of my head had the gunslinger let it slide for the moment. Still as night fell and we prepared to turn in, leaving guard duty to my Wraith and other familiars I stayed awake and slipped out onto the rigging, looking down and watching as Nami slipped out.
With that bulging sack over her shoulder I imagine she had the rest of what she needed, not that it really mattered given Arlong had no intention of ever letting her go but still. She was clearly desperate and scared, I could smell it. Still that doesn't excuse this little act, no Nami should understand by now she's mine. Dropping down I land behind her, a quiet thud ringing out that has Nami stop and stand still as I pad up behind her.
"Well hello there Nami, and just where do you think you're going?"
-x-X-x-
Nami was smart enough to not put up a fight; fully aware of how badly that would go for her. While the Wraith returns the sack to our treasure hold I take her to the brig, wasn't much but it had a few cells and I further restrained her. >
"So then Nami, I know you're smart enough to know trying to run would end badly. Something truly important, so feel like sharing?" I drum a rhythm on her thigh as I speak, getting a shiver from her as the beat pulses through her body.
"I... I have to get back to my hometown and the money to fulfill a deal." From there the whole story comes out; her village, her family, Arlong, everything. Tears welling up in her eyes as she speaks of it and her despair only grows with each passing moment.
"I see, well I'll admit I'm pissed you'd think I'd lose to a guppy." Nami stares at me in shock as I grin down at her with bloodlust.
"Haven't I made it clear you're mine, Arlong thinks he can have you but thats his mistake. You Are Mine!" I lean over, grabbing her chin and forcing her to look me in the eye.
"Congrats Nami, we're going to go and kill that overgrown guppy. I'm going to erase him from this world and we'll be on our way. Your home saved, my navigator free, and the head of the currently most dangerous pirate on a spike." Nami stares at me in shock, tears starting up again only this time they actually contain a bit of hope. I suppose that makes sense, I'm a monster but unlike Arlong I'm not one that will slaughter chunks of her hometown on a whim. Still she did try to run and I can't let that go unpunished.
"And that's why we're making our way to the Conami Islands. Carina you're on watch duty, Revy go make sure your guns are ready to put some holes in a couple fishmen. Nami set course." Revy nods and goes off to make sure her little armory is ready and shooting capable while Carina stares at me.
"We're going to go fight Fishmen, the people ten times stronger then us with no effort." I nod with a grin and she pales. "Captain you.. you can't expect me to fight them can you."
"Directly no, you'll be sticking with Revy and firing at the ones that try to run or don't die when I'm through with them although this is a good reminder to up your training." Oh she likes that idea less, tough turkey, she'd have had to do so anyway given she wanted to head to the Grand Line. Still Carina scrambles up the mast to get to her post leaving me with Nami. The navigator glaring at me over her new outfit even as hope fights for its existence in her eyes.
"Did you really have to dress me up like this?"
"You tried to run, a lot of crews would consider keelhauling you. Don't worry I'll let you get dressed before we reach your hometown but for now you get to stay like that for my viewing pleasure. And don't forget, any order from any crew member and you have to obey… Any Order." I tug her leash and Nami cringes, clearly thinking about what Carina might have her do.

This was only the start of course, after Arlong I plan to finally take her in her entirety. Call it my reward for a daring deed. Still I note Nami looking worried still even as we adjust course to account for Arlong's patrols.
"You… you really plan to go and beat the Arlong Pirates."
"I said I did didn't I." Nami fidgets and looks towards the horizon with a thousand yard stare.
"And Arlong will die, you'll kill him."
"Provided he doesn't run, chasing a Fishman at sea sounds like a pain." Seriously there is a reason Hachi not only got away but made it as far as he did all alone.
"NO!!! P..please no ma..matter what he has to die!" Nami screams and I give her a smirk, knowing I have her right where I wanted her.
"Then beg me to kill him no matter what, beg me and swear your loyalty to me from now on. Your loyalty and service for the rest of your life is small price to pay isn't it." Nami thinks for a second, but only a second, before she's prostrated before me. >
"Please Captain Edmond… please kill Arlong and his crew! I'll serve you however you wish for as long as I live, just put that monster in the ground!" Crouching down I pet her head, smiling at her as she looks up at me with teary eyes.
"Don't you worry Nami, I'll keep my word. Just keep yours this time."
"Yes Captain." For the first time there's no sarcasm or hint of her forcing herself to say it.
