The year is 20XX.The world hasen't changed much from the days of pirates.Although humans do have acess to technology now most of it is used along side nature as well.People still use boats to get around on sea and caars are only used on islands where there's a big city.But besides that, there are many legends about pirates that sailed through the Grand Line but none are more famous the the one of Monkey D. Luffy and the Straw hat Pirates.
Luffy was the man who found the famous treasure called One Piece and became king of the pirates.Nobody really knows what one piece is besides the crew but it was something that was of great value.Aside from Luffy becoming the Pirate King. His first mate Roronoa Zoro became the best swordsman in the world saying that he was able to cut through steel, diamond, and some one's aura.
The Marksman Usopp became a brave man of the sea with legendary Marksmanship skills.
The Cook "Black Leg" Sanji found All Blue and created thousands of recipes and dishes from the fish there.He eventually passed down his cooking skills and the teachings of the Red Leg style to another generation
The navigator Nami created her map of the world.
The Doctor Chopper created medicine that could cure any illness, his skills are legendary and are only passed down to a select few.
The Archaeologist Nico Robin found the Rio Poneglyph but it's contents were never released to those outside the crew
.
The shipwright Franky had accomplished his dream by creating a ship that sailed all the way to the end of the grand line, this ship is known as the Thousand Sunny.His skills were also passed down to a new generation.
Now that the era of pirates still goes on today at a even greater pace.People have set out to the sea for different reasons.To have a higher bounty, to learn new things, or to find One Piece.
----------------------------
(Rough Town)
The town was a full of civilians, merchants, and other business.Still holding its town-like appearance few cars ran through the streets and most people still walked just to enjoy the town when people filled the sidewalks.
If you went far enough you would find a small bar called "Mist".People always ate here when they had something important to do afterwards or just to have a good time.If you looked to the corner you could see a boy.His tan skin matched the color of the chair.His spikey black hair made his look a bit like Ban Mido.His clothes consisted of a brown zip up hoodie with the words "End" on it along with brown pants that sagged towards the bottom.
He sat across from a girl with blond hair tied into a pony tail wearing a white shirt and black pants that made her figure well-known.She looked at the boy as her blue pupils looked into his electric blue ones
.
"So? We set out in an hour right?" she asked
The boy gave a sigh and smiled "Yep.Two kids that aren't going to the Marines." he said as he stood up.It was a new tradition that when kids reached the age of 17 they set out to become pirates, joined the Marines, or stay on the island and work.This had a positive side since some parents wanted one of the three.
But the down side was that kids that were best friends usually became bitter enemies when one became a marine and the other became a pirate.He knew this because he had friends that ended up like this from the past and now.
His thoughts floated back to a girl that he knew who joined the marines six months ago.When news of that reached Louge Town everyone she knew threw her a party that even he went to.He still remembered what a friend of his told him,
"Since your a pirate and she's a marine soldier, next time you tow meet she'll be out for your head."
He knew that it would happen but he pushed it to the back of his mind for now as they reached the docks.
"This is the best I could get." said the girl as she pointed to a medium sized ship with a small room inside.
"It'll do Nani, right now we just need something to get us on our way." he said as he loaded a bag of food and three barrels of water onto it and jumped into the boat.Nani followed him and cut the rope that held them to the docks.As the they moved away from Louge Town he thought of what his friend said and sighed as thoughts of him and her fighting occurred in his mind.
---------------------
(Marine Ship)
A girl walked onto the deck of the ship wearing a pink buisness suit.Her brown hair was let down and straightened out as she looked at the various soliders cleaning and working on the ship."So boring." she said as she pulled ot a chair and sat down.
"Ah Ensign Yuria, enjoying the sun I see?" asked a man wearing a black jacket and a sword on his back.His skin was normal for a caucasian male but his hair was a white as the snow itself.
"Lieutenant Giado." she replied looking out onto the ocean.
"How's the boy?"
"He won't talk, when I tried to get some info outta him he just looked at me with those cold eyes, like he was planning to kill me the moment he got his chance."
"Then it looks like it's time for me to get rough." he said leaving the deck and heading to a room downstairs.
--------------------------
(Brig)
A man sat in one of the cells with a cold look on his face.If you had a light you could see that he had black hair that matched the hair style of Domon Kasshu's.His clothes consisted of a blue jacket that was zipped up, a dark blue bandanna that was tied around his arm, and black pants and shoes.He'd been down here for a full week now with nothing to do but look at the wall and think.His swords had been taken away from him so he was un able to get out.
"Damn marines....I didn't do shit to them and i'm stuck in here along with the fact that my swords are gone.This isn't how the successor of Santoryu does things." he said as he saw Giado appeared before him.
"So are you gonna talk now?" he asked.The man just sent a cold glare at him which didn't phase him in the least."Don't make me have to do this the hard way." he unsheathed his sword and pointed it at the man.
"Oh wow. What are you gonna do, poke me to death?" taunted the man.
"Che, Freeze lancer." a spike of pure energy shot fourth from Giado's sword and hit the wall leaving little space between it and the man's neck." If you wanna live to see tomorrow then you'd better listen to what we say got it? Now what's your name?"
"Zean." he said scowling and Giada.
"Zean.It looks like your getting the picture, that's all for today?"
"Hey..what do you plan to do with me?"
"Simple, throw you overboard once we reach the grand line." he said as he walked away, leaving a shocked Zean.
---------------
(Ocean)
"Is that a ship?" asked Nani as she looked up and saw the Marine ship infront of them.As it approached them she came to the conclusion that they were going to be rammed by the ship."Hey..Ban! Do something!" she yelled.
"Damn...." replied Ban as the ship began to break the boat apart.
--------------
"*Crack*
"What was that?" asked Yuria as she heard the sound of wood breaking in half.
------------
"That was close." Ban and Nani were hanging onto the side of the Marinship.As they crawled up towards a window on the side they noticed that all of their food and supplies were gone."F***" sand Ban as the crawled into the window and found themselves in the brig.
"Hey, where in the brig....don't tell me this is a marine ship." said Nani as Ban looked around and noticed that some of the food was stored down here as well.
"Hey...who are you two?" asked Zean.
"A DEMON!?!?!" yelled Nani terrified by Zean's cold look.
"I'm not a demon!" he replied back.
"Names Ton D. Ban. Who are you?"
"..Zean."
"......"
"She's Nani." said Ban as he pointed to the slightly terrified girl next to him."So why are you here?"
"Because i'm a pirate, nuff said."
Ban felt that there was more to the story than that be he decided to leave it for another time."So....do you have any special abilities?"
"I'm the successor to Santoryu and the creator of Shin Santoryu, why?"
"Join my crew." he said bluntly.
"What?"
"What!?" yelled Nani
"Heh...so you want me to join eh? I might......if you do something for me."
"And that is?"
"Tomorrow morning i'll be thrown overboard and left to die once this ship reaches the Grand Line. If you can help me bust outta here and get my swords back while fighting the Marines then maybe i'll join."
'What happens if we don't?" asked Nani.
"You'll be caught along with me and suffer the same fate."
"Sure, why not." said Ban earning a smack to the head from Nani as she dragged him over to the side.
"You moron! Are you trying to get us killed!?"
"No, i'm getting a new crew member."
"But is it really worth it!?"
"Yes."
"You dumb ass!? Are you mentally stable in your head?"
"No, people say it's a part of my family." he said before he was smacked upside the head again
"I swear your as dumb as you ancestor!" she said.
"You two need to hide until night comes.Then when everybody's sleeping go get my swords."
"Fine, where are they?"
"In the Ensign's room."
"Fine." Ban once again received a smack to the head.
"Stupid! How are you going to sneak into the Ensign's room at night!?"
"Hmmm....you've got a point, i'll do it now." and blow landed on the back of his head.
"How will you do that!?"
"Simple...." he spotted a marine cap on the ground and put it on his head.
"That's your plan?" asked Zean and Nani.
"Yep, stay here." he said as he walked upstairs.
"So he's your captain?" asked Zean.
"Yeah."
"Don't look like much."
"Yeah, but he special."
"How so?"
"He has two Akuma no mi abilities."
"Two?"
"One's been passed down from generation to generation, it's called the Gomu Gomu no Mi.and the other one was called the Soshi Soshi no Mi."
"Soshi no mi? How does that work?"
"It's a Akuma no Mi that was created by some of the scientist a few years back.It let's him use natures elements from his body.So far he can only use fire, don't know why though."
"If the marines made it then how does he have it?"
"Simple, Ban's mother is a retired marine vice admiral.She took it as a self-givin going away present."
"Wait, if she a marine then how come he's a pirate?"
"She allowed him to choose which one he wanted to be, he chose the be a pirate after reading all those stories about the Straw hat Pirates."
"You seem to know a lot about him."
"I've known him for eleven years."
"Is that so?"
"Yep.Met him right before he ate the Akuma no Mi."
Flashback to ten years ago.
-----
Ban, age six, walked down the street in a good mood.Word was that his mother had come home to stay this time since she left the Marines to take care of her son.He really didn't know why she thought of that just now since she only saw him for once a month and sent him money to buy food and clothes.
As he turned the knob a woman that looked to be in her mid twenties with long black hair and brown skin reached down to hug him.
"Ah, here's my little boy!" she said as she picked him up.
"Mom! You're staying for good this time!?"
"Yep! And I even brought you a little present too!" she pulled out a fruit that was shapped like a disk.'Eat up!" she said stuffing the fruit down his throat.
As he let the taste sink in he began to cough and hack.
"Damn that tasted nasty!" he felt a hand hit him in the head.He looked back and saw Nani frowning at him.
"Oh what's this? Does Ban have a girlfriend already?" she teased.
"Eww no! This is Nani.I met her last year at the park."
"Nice to mee you Mrs.Ton."
"Ah no need for the formalities, just call me Jean." she said.
"We're going upstairs to play." he said as he walked to his room with Nani following him.
Jean was happy that her son had found a friend that accecpted him for his "family gift" as she liked to put it.He looked towards teh right and gazed at a picture of her, Ban, and a man with spikey red hair."Looks like he's starting to take after you dear."
"WAAAHHHHHHH!!!" she heard as Ban came running down the stairs with one arm covered in fire.
"What's wrong?"
"MY ARM IS ON FIRE!!!!!! PUT IT OUT!"
"Oh dear thats just a side effect of the fruit, it was a Akuma no Mi."
"A WHAT!?!?!?"
"You've got another set of powers and guess what? You can make the elements come from your body now."
"WHAT!?!?!?!?!"
End Flashback
"Sounds estranged." said Zean.
"It is."
------------------------
(Ship hallways)
'Ban stood outside of the ensign's room.As he looked inside he noticed that she was sleeping."Damn..guess i'll have to be real quiet about this.' he said as he opened the door an tip-toed into the room. He looked over and saw two things.One thing he saw was Zean's swords and the other thing he saw was the ensign herself.
"Now way." he said as he walked over to her and stuck his hand out."Double D's!" he said as he poked her chest.He scaned the room and saw some thing he might need, a log pose.He snatched it and left the room.
Unknown to him the ensign was infact awake and noticed everything that happened in her room."So a pirate thinks he can do all that and get away safe? Like hell we will." she said standing up
----------------------
(Deck)
"Leuteniant, we're about to cross over to the grand line." said one soldier.
"Finally. Looks like it's time to throw the samurai into the sea." said Giada.
Ban heard this and raced towards the brig with the swords in hand..
---------------------
(Brig)
"Got'em." said Ban as he threw Zean his swords.He sw a devil like smile appear on his face.
"Now all we have to do is get him outta here and wait until night." said Nani.
"Yeah about that.....see I overheard them talking and it looks like we're hitting the grand line right now.But that's not important right now."
"How is that not important!?" yelled Nani and Zean.Ban put his hands on the bars.Ath they began to heat up Zean saw that the tops were beginning to melt slowly.As the melted down half way he jumped out of the cell.
"Now that that's done, we should try and get outta here."
"Yep. Ma marksman and first mate.Not a bad start." said Ban as they left the brig.
---------------------
(Deck)
"Yuria, what are you doing?" asked Giada.He saw Yuria putting on a pair of red and blue gloves.
"Zean's making a break for it and he's got friends too."
"So you're going to let them come up?"
"Of course, it's not everyday we get to fight pirates." she said as the back of her gloves lit up with a flower in the middle.
-------------------------
As Ban, Zean, and Nani reached the deck they noticed that over fifteen marine soliders surrounded them, guns fully loaded."****." said Nani as she reached inside her jacket and pulled out two silver pistols, Zean pulled out his swords placing two in his hands and one in his mouth.Ban simply tightened the do-rag around his head.
"So we've got three pirates trying to escape from a Marine ship on the Grand Line.You with the do-rag." asked Yuri
"What?" answered Ban
"Did you sneak into my room and take the swords?"
"Yep."
"Thought so.Leave him to me,the rest of you take out the girl and the swordsman."
"Yes ma'am!" replied the soliders as the began to fire.
"Oni...GIRI!!!" yelled Zean as he cut through a few of the soliders.The look of a devil appeared on his face once more as he began to feel the rush of battle.
While Zean and Nani shot and sliced through the soliders Ban fought against Yuria in what seemed like a losing battle.
"You're just a thrid rate pirate, you know that? Still the same just like back at the island."
"I've changed...and so have you.You used to be alot nicer to people.Now you've become a real member of the Marines."
"Sure have.Been a Ensign for two months and not a single thing has gone wrong."
"Well good for you.But I can't get caught here." he stretched his arm back and let it fly towards her.
"Oh? You can strech now? You never did this before." she grabbed his arm and swung him to the side.
"Damn..what's with this strength?" he sad as he landed on his feet and let himself fly back towards her."Gomu Gomu no...rocket!" his body slammed into her's as she skidd back a few feet.
Yuri regained her footing and put her hands out."Kimuri no Mi.......Shi no Ken.." The area around both of them was covered in fog.Ban stood in the middle as her heard her laugh."This is an evolved ability of my ancestor, Smoker's ability.I can use fog, smoke, and haze from my body.Let's see you try and track me down."
Ban looked around through the fog as a fist hit him dead in the side.
-------------------
"What? Fog?" Nani looked over in the opposite direction and saw that the area where Ban was fighting covered in it.
"Yuria's used her Akuma no Mi.That kid won't stand a chance." said Giada.
Zean put the bandanna around his head and smirked.As he lifted both blades up he dashed at Giada."Oni Giri!"
"Poon Oodorii!(Flying Bird)" a wave of ki in the form of a bird shot from Giada's sword and met Zean's Oni Giri, pushing him back.
"What!? Was that pure presure?"
"Yes actually.You may use Santoryu, but I use Chuushin-ryu(Center Style).
"Chuushin-ryu?"
"Yes.It's a style that allowes me to use pure force and pressure as a weapon.You don't stand a chance."
Zean looked at Giada with a devil-ish smirk.Giada did have power but one thing that he didn't have was speed.He kicked off the ground and began to spin around in mid air."Tatsumaki Oni Giri!!" he said spinning into Giada like a drill.
Giada slid bak a few feet before he knocked Zean off of him."Not bad kid.Didn't expect speed like that from you."
"Don't underestimate your opponent."
"True.But what about...her!" Giada let another Flying Bird shoot out at Nani.As she raised her guns to block the attack the pressure itself shattered them like glass and had cut up her shirt giving both of them a good view of her chest.
"Wow...." said Zean as he struggeled to keep the third sword in his mouth.
-------------------
Inside the fog Ban had wounds all over his body he still haden't been able to figure out how to get rid of this fog and her at the same time."If only I had something to blow away all this fog. Like a fan or something." although it looked like he'd just been standing there the whole time.He'd actually been thinking about how to finish this up in one good blow.
"...Got it!" he held out one hand as a small tornadow began to form in it."Soshi Soshi no....." he stretched his arm back and twisted it. "Kaze Gomu Drill!" he yelled letting the fist fly at high speed.The attack landed right into
Yuria's stomach.
She began to spin along with Ban's fist and sent her back into one of the extre life boats.
"Che, that was a bit obvious...but since when could I do wind?"
-------------------
(AN:Now for those of you that are wondering, "how does he have two Akuma abilities?" well it's like this.Those with DF's that had kids gained the abilities as well since they fused with the offspring's DNA. over time and after each generation the genes adjusted so much that they could be counted as DNA strands of a normal human.Therefor if one of the new generation people did eat another DF and already had DF abilities from their ancestor then they would have two.
This is only a bit different for Yuria since like she said, her ancestor was Smoker so during the time from his generation to her's the ability actually evolved.)
----------------------
Zean geared up for another slash at Giada before he saw that the fog cleared up on Ban's side."Look's like the fog's cleared up.Ban won."
"No way!? Then where's Yuria!?"
"She must have fallen overboard." taunted Zean with a smirk.
"Damn! Lion's Roar!" Giada slammed his sword onto the ground and sent a wave of pressure that cut through the deck of hte ship and cut Zean as well.
"Shit!" he felt a deep cut across his shoulder and chest.
"Leave..."
"What?"
"Leave! I will give you a chance to leave now!"
"Che. Fine." said Nani as she took one of the extra boats and dropped into
sea.
Above the ship one solider managed to take a picture of the three of them.
"C'mon Zean." Ban hopped into the boat with Nani.
"Tch.next time we meet we'll finish this." said Zean, putting his swords away.
"Yes.But I will get revenge!"
"Whatever." he said jumping into the boat as well.The life boat looked like the one they used before they arived on teh ship, only it was big enough for a least seven people with extra room.
As the crew rode off Giada picked up a soldier.
"Y-yes sir?"
"Contact HQ and tell them to put a bounty on Ton D. Ban and Zean for causing the death of Ensign Yuria now!" said a furious Giada." Next time we meet..you will die by my hand white rag."
-------------------------
(Ocean)
"That was one hell of a first day." Nani looked up and saw both Ban ande Zean giving her a thumbs up.
"Nice."
"You've come a long way since i've met you."
She looked down and notice that she was bare chested."PERVERTS!!!"
*BAM* *CRACK*
She slipped Ban's hoodie over her head and onto her body and next to her were ther bodies of Zean and Ban after she slammed their heads together."Well we've escaped but now we dont have a pose."
"You mean this?" he said as he pulled out a Log Pose.
"That's exactally what we need! Where'd you get this?"
"Stole it from that girl."
"Who?"
"You mean her?" asked Zean as he pointed to a out cold Yuria.
"Yep."
"Isn't that the girl you fought back on the ship?" asked Nani
"Yep."
"And now she's on our ship after we get miles away from the Marines?"
"Yep." he felt the back of a shoe plant itself in his jaw.
"You dumbass! We're kidnappers now!"
"Not really.....to that guy back there, we killed her." Zean recieved teh same punishment.
"THAT'S EVEN WORSE!!!!"
"Ugh......what's with all the noise?' asked Yuria as she woke up and saw herself infront of the crew."What the!? You three again!?"
"Yep. and your on our ship right now so don't try anything dumb." said Zean as he reached for his blade.
"Zean, calm down.Hey Yuria...could you work this thing for us?" asked Ban as he handed her the Log Pose leaving a face faulted Nani and Zean in the background.
"Why should I!?"
"Because if you don't we'll leave you to drown in the ocean where you'll die a slow and lonle death as the water fills your lungs making you unable to breath.Or if you get eaten by a sea monster as it's teeth crunches into your body ripping at your flesh-"
*BAM*
"No more! It's too gruesome!" said Nani as she once again kicked Zean.
"Che, empty threats wont work."
"Who said it was an empty threat?" replied Ban with a dark and evil look on his face.The look on his face was one that could make kids cry if they looked at it for more than two seconds.
"Y-Y-You wouldn't?"
"We're pirates, we could do that.....or keep you here and we could give you to some other guys as a slave and let htem do what they want with you?"
"I say we do the last one." said Zean with a devil-ish grin.
"H-Hold on now!"
"Heh.Do you now comprehend you situation?"
"Y-Yes!"
"Will you help us?"
"Yes!"
"Damn that's evil." thought Nani and Zean
"Can I touch you boobs again?"
"Ye-I mean NO!!"
"So close.But work this for us okay." he handed Yuria the Log Pose.The first idea that crossed her mind was to get rid of it but that would put her in danger as well since she'd be stranded along with them.The only choice she had was to help them out.Who knows, maybe the others will find her.

He sat across from a girl with blond hair tied into a pony tail wearing a white shirt and black pants that made her figure well-known.She looked at the boy as her blue pupils looked into his electric blue ones

"So? We set out in an hour right?" she asked

(Marine Ship)
A girl walked onto the deck of the ship wearing a pink buisness suit.Her brown hair was let down and straightened out as she looked at the various soliders cleaning and working on the ship."So boring." she said as she pulled ot a chair and sat down.
"Ah Ensign Yuria, enjoying the sun I see?" asked a man wearing a black jacket and a sword on his back.His skin was normal for a caucasian male but his hair was a white as the snow itself.
"Lieutenant Giado." she replied looking out onto the ocean.
"How's the boy?"
"He won't talk, when I tried to get some info outta him he just looked at me with those cold eyes, like he was planning to kill me the moment he got his chance."
"Then it looks like it's time for me to get rough." he said leaving the deck and heading to a room downstairs.

(Brig)
A man sat in one of the cells with a cold look on his face.If you had a light you could see that he had black hair that matched the hair style of Domon Kasshu's.His clothes consisted of a blue jacket that was zipped up, a dark blue bandanna that was tied around his arm, and black pants and shoes.He'd been down here for a full week now with nothing to do but look at the wall and think.His swords had been taken away from him so he was un able to get out.
"Damn marines....I didn't do shit to them and i'm stuck in here along with the fact that my swords are gone.This isn't how the successor of Santoryu does things." he said as he saw Giado appeared before him.
"So are you gonna talk now?" he asked.The man just sent a cold glare at him which didn't phase him in the least."Don't make me have to do this the hard way." he unsheathed his sword and pointed it at the man.
"Oh wow. What are you gonna do, poke me to death?" taunted the man.
"Che, Freeze lancer." a spike of pure energy shot fourth from Giado's sword and hit the wall leaving little space between it and the man's neck." If you wanna live to see tomorrow then you'd better listen to what we say got it? Now what's your name?"
"Zean." he said scowling and Giada.

"Is that a ship?" asked Nani as she looked up and saw the Marine ship infront of them.As it approached them she came to the conclusion that they were going to be rammed by the ship."Hey..Ban! Do something!" she yelled.
"Damn...." replied Ban as the ship began to break the boat apart.

"She's Nani." said Ban as he pointed to the slightly terrified girl next to him."So why are you here?"
"Because i'm a pirate, nuff said."
Ban felt that there was more to the story than that be he decided to leave it for another time."So....do you have any special abilities?"
"I'm the successor to Santoryu and the creator of Shin Santoryu, why?"
"Join my crew." he said bluntly.
"What?"
"What!?" yelled Nani
"Heh...so you want me to join eh? I might......if you do something for me."
"And that is?"
"Tomorrow morning i'll be thrown overboard and left to die once this ship reaches the Grand Line. If you can help me bust outta here and get my swords back while fighting the Marines then maybe i'll join."
'What happens if we don't?" asked Nani.
"You'll be caught along with me and suffer the same fate."
"Sure, why not." said Ban earning a smack to the head from Nani as she dragged him over to the side.
"You moron! Are you trying to get us killed!?"
"No, i'm getting a new crew member."
"But is it really worth it!?"
"Yes."
"You dumb ass!? Are you mentally stable in your head?"
"No, people say it's a part of my family." he said before he was smacked upside the head again
"I swear your as dumb as you ancestor!" she said.
"You two need to hide until night comes.Then when everybody's sleeping go get my swords."
"Fine, where are they?"
"In the Ensign's room."
"Fine." Ban once again received a smack to the head.
"Stupid! How are you going to sneak into the Ensign's room at night!?"
"Hmmm....you've got a point, i'll do it now." and blow landed on the back of his head.
"How will you do that!?"
"Simple...." he spotted a marine cap on the ground and put it on his head.
"That's your plan?" asked Zean and Nani.
"Yep, stay here." he said as he walked upstairs.
"So he's your captain?" asked Zean.
"Yeah."
"Don't look like much."
"Yeah, but he special."
"How so?"
"He has two Akuma no mi abilities."
"Two?"
"One's been passed down from generation to generation, it's called the Gomu Gomu no Mi.and the other one was called the Soshi Soshi no Mi."
"Soshi no mi? How does that work?"
"It's a Akuma no Mi that was created by some of the scientist a few years back.It let's him use natures elements from his body.So far he can only use fire, don't know why though."
"If the marines made it then how does he have it?"
"Simple, Ban's mother is a retired marine vice admiral.She took it as a self-givin going away present."
"Wait, if she a marine then how come he's a pirate?"
"She allowed him to choose which one he wanted to be, he chose the be a pirate after reading all those stories about the Straw hat Pirates."
"You seem to know a lot about him."
"I've known him for eleven years."
"Is that so?"
"Yep.Met him right before he ate the Akuma no Mi."
Flashback to ten years ago.
-----
Ban, age six, walked down the street in a good mood.Word was that his mother had come home to stay this time since she left the Marines to take care of her son.He really didn't know why she thought of that just now since she only saw him for once a month and sent him money to buy food and clothes.
As he turned the knob a woman that looked to be in her mid twenties with long black hair and brown skin reached down to hug him.
"Ah, here's my little boy!" she said as she picked him up.
"Mom! You're staying for good this time!?"
"Yep! And I even brought you a little present too!" she pulled out a fruit that was shapped like a disk.'Eat up!" she said stuffing the fruit down his throat.
As he let the taste sink in he began to cough and hack.
"Damn that tasted nasty!" he felt a hand hit him in the head.He looked back and saw Nani frowning at him.
"Oh what's this? Does Ban have a girlfriend already?" she teased.
"Eww no! This is Nani.I met her last year at the park."
"Nice to mee you Mrs.Ton."
"Ah no need for the formalities, just call me Jean." she said.
"We're going upstairs to play." he said as he walked to his room with Nani following him.
Jean was happy that her son had found a friend that accecpted him for his "family gift" as she liked to put it.He looked towards teh right and gazed at a picture of her, Ban, and a man with spikey red hair."Looks like he's starting to take after you dear."
"WAAAHHHHHHH!!!" she heard as Ban came running down the stairs with one arm covered in fire.
"What's wrong?"
"MY ARM IS ON FIRE!!!!!! PUT IT OUT!"
"Oh dear thats just a side effect of the fruit, it was a Akuma no Mi."
"A WHAT!?!?!?"
"You've got another set of powers and guess what? You can make the elements come from your body now."
"WHAT!?!?!?!?!"
End Flashback
"Sounds estranged." said Zean.
"It is."
------------------------
(Ship hallways)
'Ban stood outside of the ensign's room.As he looked inside he noticed that she was sleeping."Damn..guess i'll have to be real quiet about this.' he said as he opened the door an tip-toed into the room. He looked over and saw two things.One thing he saw was Zean's swords and the other thing he saw was the ensign herself.
"Now way." he said as he walked over to her and stuck his hand out."Double D's!" he said as he poked her chest.He scaned the room and saw some thing he might need, a log pose.He snatched it and left the room.
Unknown to him the ensign was infact awake and noticed everything that happened in her room."So a pirate thinks he can do all that and get away safe? Like hell we will." she said standing up
----------------------
(Deck)
"Leuteniant, we're about to cross over to the grand line." said one soldier.
"Finally. Looks like it's time to throw the samurai into the sea." said Giada.
Ban heard this and raced towards the brig with the swords in hand..
---------------------
(Brig)
"Got'em." said Ban as he threw Zean his swords.He sw a devil like smile appear on his face.
"Now all we have to do is get him outta here and wait until night." said Nani.
"Yeah about that.....see I overheard them talking and it looks like we're hitting the grand line right now.But that's not important right now."
"How is that not important!?" yelled Nani and Zean.Ban put his hands on the bars.Ath they began to heat up Zean saw that the tops were beginning to melt slowly.As the melted down half way he jumped out of the cell.
"Now that that's done, we should try and get outta here."
"Yep. Ma marksman and first mate.Not a bad start." said Ban as they left the brig.
---------------------
(Deck)
"Yuria, what are you doing?" asked Giada.He saw Yuria putting on a pair of red and blue gloves.
"Zean's making a break for it and he's got friends too."
"So you're going to let them come up?"
"Of course, it's not everyday we get to fight pirates." she said as the back of her gloves lit up with a flower in the middle.
-------------------------
As Ban, Zean, and Nani reached the deck they noticed that over fifteen marine soliders surrounded them, guns fully loaded."****." said Nani as she reached inside her jacket and pulled out two silver pistols, Zean pulled out his swords placing two in his hands and one in his mouth.Ban simply tightened the do-rag around his head.
"So we've got three pirates trying to escape from a Marine ship on the Grand Line.You with the do-rag." asked Yuri
"What?" answered Ban
"Did you sneak into my room and take the swords?"
"Yep."
"Thought so.Leave him to me,the rest of you take out the girl and the swordsman."
"Yes ma'am!" replied the soliders as the began to fire.
"Oni...GIRI!!!" yelled Zean as he cut through a few of the soliders.The look of a devil appeared on his face once more as he began to feel the rush of battle.
While Zean and Nani shot and sliced through the soliders Ban fought against Yuria in what seemed like a losing battle.
"You're just a thrid rate pirate, you know that? Still the same just like back at the island."
"I've changed...and so have you.You used to be alot nicer to people.Now you've become a real member of the Marines."
"Sure have.Been a Ensign for two months and not a single thing has gone wrong."
"Well good for you.But I can't get caught here." he stretched his arm back and let it fly towards her.
"Oh? You can strech now? You never did this before." she grabbed his arm and swung him to the side.
"Damn..what's with this strength?" he sad as he landed on his feet and let himself fly back towards her."Gomu Gomu no...rocket!" his body slammed into her's as she skidd back a few feet.
Yuri regained her footing and put her hands out."Kimuri no Mi.......Shi no Ken.." The area around both of them was covered in fog.Ban stood in the middle as her heard her laugh."This is an evolved ability of my ancestor, Smoker's ability.I can use fog, smoke, and haze from my body.Let's see you try and track me down."
Ban looked around through the fog as a fist hit him dead in the side.
-------------------
"What? Fog?" Nani looked over in the opposite direction and saw that the area where Ban was fighting covered in it.
"Yuria's used her Akuma no Mi.That kid won't stand a chance." said Giada.
Zean put the bandanna around his head and smirked.As he lifted both blades up he dashed at Giada."Oni Giri!"
"Poon Oodorii!(Flying Bird)" a wave of ki in the form of a bird shot from Giada's sword and met Zean's Oni Giri, pushing him back.
"What!? Was that pure presure?"
"Yes actually.You may use Santoryu, but I use Chuushin-ryu(Center Style).
"Chuushin-ryu?"
"Yes.It's a style that allowes me to use pure force and pressure as a weapon.You don't stand a chance."
Zean looked at Giada with a devil-ish smirk.Giada did have power but one thing that he didn't have was speed.He kicked off the ground and began to spin around in mid air."Tatsumaki Oni Giri!!" he said spinning into Giada like a drill.
Giada slid bak a few feet before he knocked Zean off of him."Not bad kid.Didn't expect speed like that from you."
"Don't underestimate your opponent."
"True.But what about...her!" Giada let another Flying Bird shoot out at Nani.As she raised her guns to block the attack the pressure itself shattered them like glass and had cut up her shirt giving both of them a good view of her chest.
"Wow...." said Zean as he struggeled to keep the third sword in his mouth.
-------------------
Inside the fog Ban had wounds all over his body he still haden't been able to figure out how to get rid of this fog and her at the same time."If only I had something to blow away all this fog. Like a fan or something." although it looked like he'd just been standing there the whole time.He'd actually been thinking about how to finish this up in one good blow.
"...Got it!" he held out one hand as a small tornadow began to form in it."Soshi Soshi no....." he stretched his arm back and twisted it. "Kaze Gomu Drill!" he yelled letting the fist fly at high speed.The attack landed right into
Yuria's stomach.
She began to spin along with Ban's fist and sent her back into one of the extre life boats.
"Che, that was a bit obvious...but since when could I do wind?"
-------------------
(AN:Now for those of you that are wondering, "how does he have two Akuma abilities?" well it's like this.Those with DF's that had kids gained the abilities as well since they fused with the offspring's DNA. over time and after each generation the genes adjusted so much that they could be counted as DNA strands of a normal human.Therefor if one of the new generation people did eat another DF and already had DF abilities from their ancestor then they would have two.
This is only a bit different for Yuria since like she said, her ancestor was Smoker so during the time from his generation to her's the ability actually evolved.)
----------------------
Zean geared up for another slash at Giada before he saw that the fog cleared up on Ban's side."Look's like the fog's cleared up.Ban won."
"No way!? Then where's Yuria!?"
"She must have fallen overboard." taunted Zean with a smirk.
"Damn! Lion's Roar!" Giada slammed his sword onto the ground and sent a wave of pressure that cut through the deck of hte ship and cut Zean as well.
"Shit!" he felt a deep cut across his shoulder and chest.
"Leave..."
"What?"
"Leave! I will give you a chance to leave now!"
"Che. Fine." said Nani as she took one of the extra boats and dropped into
sea.
Above the ship one solider managed to take a picture of the three of them.
"C'mon Zean." Ban hopped into the boat with Nani.
"Tch.next time we meet we'll finish this." said Zean, putting his swords away.
"Yes.But I will get revenge!"
"Whatever." he said jumping into the boat as well.The life boat looked like the one they used before they arived on teh ship, only it was big enough for a least seven people with extra room.
As the crew rode off Giada picked up a soldier.
"Y-yes sir?"
"Contact HQ and tell them to put a bounty on Ton D. Ban and Zean for causing the death of Ensign Yuria now!" said a furious Giada." Next time we meet..you will die by my hand white rag."
-------------------------
(Ocean)
"That was one hell of a first day." Nani looked up and saw both Ban ande Zean giving her a thumbs up.
"Nice."
"You've come a long way since i've met you."
She looked down and notice that she was bare chested."PERVERTS!!!"
*BAM* *CRACK*
She slipped Ban's hoodie over her head and onto her body and next to her were ther bodies of Zean and Ban after she slammed their heads together."Well we've escaped but now we dont have a pose."
"You mean this?" he said as he pulled out a Log Pose.
"That's exactally what we need! Where'd you get this?"
"Stole it from that girl."
"Who?"
"You mean her?" asked Zean as he pointed to a out cold Yuria.
"Yep."
"Isn't that the girl you fought back on the ship?" asked Nani
"Yep."
"And now she's on our ship after we get miles away from the Marines?"
"Yep." he felt the back of a shoe plant itself in his jaw.
"You dumbass! We're kidnappers now!"
"Not really.....to that guy back there, we killed her." Zean recieved teh same punishment.
"THAT'S EVEN WORSE!!!!"
"Ugh......what's with all the noise?' asked Yuria as she woke up and saw herself infront of the crew."What the!? You three again!?"
"Yep. and your on our ship right now so don't try anything dumb." said Zean as he reached for his blade.
"Zean, calm down.Hey Yuria...could you work this thing for us?" asked Ban as he handed her the Log Pose leaving a face faulted Nani and Zean in the background.
"Why should I!?"
"Because if you don't we'll leave you to drown in the ocean where you'll die a slow and lonle death as the water fills your lungs making you unable to breath.Or if you get eaten by a sea monster as it's teeth crunches into your body ripping at your flesh-"
*BAM*
"No more! It's too gruesome!" said Nani as she once again kicked Zean.
"Che, empty threats wont work."
"Who said it was an empty threat?" replied Ban with a dark and evil look on his face.The look on his face was one that could make kids cry if they looked at it for more than two seconds.
"Y-Y-You wouldn't?"
"We're pirates, we could do that.....or keep you here and we could give you to some other guys as a slave and let htem do what they want with you?"
"I say we do the last one." said Zean with a devil-ish grin.
"H-Hold on now!"
"Heh.Do you now comprehend you situation?"
"Y-Yes!"
"Will you help us?"
"Yes!"
"Damn that's evil." thought Nani and Zean
"Can I touch you boobs again?"
"Ye-I mean NO!!"
"So close.But work this for us okay." he handed Yuria the Log Pose.The first idea that crossed her mind was to get rid of it but that would put her in danger as well since she'd be stranded along with them.The only choice she had was to help them out.Who knows, maybe the others will find her.
