Chapter 25: Creation of the 8 Warlords
After a day of relaxation on the ship I was finally feeling back to my regular self as we reached the island of MarineFord.
"If there trying to fuck with us I'm burning this island down." I say as we start to get off the docks right in front of an army of marines leading to the HQ of the Marines and would you look at that it's the rear admiral chick from a few weeks ago coming to greet us.
"Aww isn't that sweet? Look she really does miss me after all if she wants to come greet us." I say with a grin while stroking my chin.
"I'd rather cut you down then be the one to greet you here and lead you to the meeting, what is the 5 elders thinking about making deals with pirates…."
"Feelings mutual but we're here for business after all so even if you hate my guts I'm gonna ask you too lead the way." I say while motioning to get a move on already.
She stops on the ground cracking the concrete below before leading us to the meeting.
Along the way we got side long looks, hate and fear directed at me but lust from some of the guys.
"Do you want to keep your eyes? Or your family jewels?" I say while grabbing my blade sending out a murderous aura that made them shiver and cover there crotches in fear.
"…" Gion did say anything as she was sick and tired of the perverts around here too but she can't threaten other marines with our solid evidence of there miss deeds it's different for pirate though.
After about 5 minutes we finally made it to the meeting room, it already had some very... colorful characters in this room, a blonde wearing a full on red suit with a pink feather cape, a large clown looking fellow with his chin and neck being one huge part with some sharp teeth, it wouldn't be wrong to describe him as a scary aristocratic clown, a macho looking fellow smoking a cigar with a hook for a hand, a huge fellow reading a book with weird paw pads on his hands, a guy with a huge cross sword on his back and last but not least, Jinbe from the fishmen tribe.
At the end of the table sat a older man wearing rounded glasses with his Afro hidden under a marine hat with a mustache and braided beard underneath going all the way down to the center of his chest.
"Good everyone is here so we can start this meeting, good afternoon everyone allow me to introduce myself I am Sengoku (66) the fleet admiral and leader of the marines, today we have brought you all here for one reason, I'd love to say taking you all in but the 5 elders forbade us from attacking you, unless you refuse our deal of course but will still have to give you a day to get away before we start to hunt you down to be fair."
"So what is this all about? Why summon the 8 of us here?" I asked trying to get to the point of all of this meeting.
"The point is that the government will give you all amnesty and freeze your bounty's making so your not hunted down by the marines the catch is for ignoring most of what you guys do, you have to help us hunt down other pirates and other extremely dangerous individuals that we can't constantly have our admirals guarding every single one of them to Impel Down because they have there own tasks that they are supposed to do."
"Does this bounty freeze extend to our crew?" Blonde asked with a sly grin on his face.
"Yes, anyone that is under a warlord no matter who they are will have there bounty frozen while they are in your crew, but when and if they are kicked out there bounty becomes active again."
"No matter who it is, even let's say as an example that one of us here recruits….. Blood Eagle?" I say laying a heavy question on Sengoku, causing them all to look between me and him wondering if that extends to people that the government wants dead no matter what.
"...." Sengoku was quite as he curled his hand into a fist so hard that blood was coming out from it, "….. Yes, even someone who'd I would love to see his head on my wall will have his bounty frozen if he is apart of your crew."
"No need to get so upset old man, it was just an example is all."
"….. An example that put a huge smear on my record that won't go away even when I retire…." He said all depressed like.
"But enough of that, point is you guys work for us and will look the other way from most of what you do."
"What would force your hand to come after us again." Blonde asked the old man.
"Trying to start an uprising, destroying one of the marine islands across any of the seas, overthrowing a kingdom to take for your own without good reason and public support from the country in question, and trying to destroy a kingdom and all of its inhabitants, basically if you do anything extremely heinous your Status as a warlord of the sea will be instantly revoked but everything else is free game and will look the other way." Sengoku listed off the facts to everyone here.
We all looked between us, besides the big bear guy and the guy with a huge sword who didn't seem to care and would go with the flow of the situation as needed.
"If we accept can we specify our own contracts for doing this."
"Such as?"
"Marines can't go into the sea territory around the Kuja unless we are told in advance of your ships going through our territory, and that the Kuja tribe is under the protection of me, 'Firebrand' Vargas and Boa Hancock." I say stating our primary demands.
"That's fine, but by doing that we will have to consider the entirety of the Kuja Tribe as pirates to have them under your protection completely just so you know?"
Me and Boa look between each other as we come to a silent agreement and nod at each other, "You have a deal from us then." I say as both my and Hancock sign our contracts.
After a lot of back and forth between the others and getting out the specifics of there contracts everyone signed the deals.
"I know this is out of order but since your all technically working together would you be so kind as to introduce yourselves to you 'colleagues'?"
No one wanted to be first so I bit the bullet and introduced myself "Firebrand Vargas, and reason why I am here is because if I hade to choose another nickname besides Firebrand it would be Jailbreaker would be a reason why I was made into a warlord."
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" The clown asked.
"Well let me show you, oh fleet admiral if you'd be so kind as to cuff me with those seastone shackles you got there?" I say offering my hands up to him.
".... *sigh* fine." He says as he cuffs me with those shackles.
"Alright since I'm cuffed like this I should feel weak and unable to break out of my cuffs right?"
The clown nods while the others watch with slight interest in what I'm about to do.
"Well you see…" I say as I begin to melt the cuffs into slag as the fall off me, "I'm immune to there effects making it so if they tried to ever catch me I could easily get away."
Besides Boa, big bear guy, huge sword guy and Sengoku they were slightly stunned to see someone that's immune to the effects of seastone.
"Can you swim as well?" Blonde decided to ask.
"Yep I have all of the abilities with none of the down sides." I said with a smug look.
After finding out the reason why this teen was here they finally got why they wanted him here because left unchecked Vargas could be a huge threat to the marines and the government as a whole.
"Well since I'm not first I'll introduce myself I am Donquixote Doflamingo (28) head of the current Donquixote family of pirates and owner of the string string devil fruit of the name isn't obvious I control string as a weapon, using it as a weapon and way to easily travel and probably the main reason I'm here is that I can use my strings to puppet people around to attack friend and foe how ever I like." He says as he combs his hand through his hair with an evil grin on his face.
*note to self, don't mess with him for now, mess with him when I'm a bit stronger and I evolve again* (A/N Vargas is wearing the same outfit when he fought the marines a few chapters ago if anyone wasn't asking why he's wearing a set of armor to the meeting)
"Jinbe (33), now current leader of the Sun pirates, I'm here because I'm strongest of the current Fishmen pirates and to be the representative of the fishmen as a whole." He says as he looks around the room, but focuses more on me, *Strange this kid seems familiar but from where?*
"Crocodile (33), Mob boss and user of the sand sand fruit, as the name suggests I can use sand to fight my enemies, also I don't like any of you, especially you fish head."
"Ahhh?! You wanna go Captain Hook?!?" (Jinbe)
"Bring it fish breath!" Crocodile says as they prepare to fight but Sengoku sends a wave of his aura through the room to shut them up, he doesn't say anything but gives a look of, 'if you shitheads wanna fight do it off my island, Got it?!' And with that it called them down.
*Tch* they both click there tongues at the same time as they go and take there seats.
"Kuma (34)….. I can repel anything…" he says then goes silent and returns to reading his book.
*cough* "So who are you Swordsman?" I say to move on to the others after Kuma's short introduction.
"Dracule Mihawk (30), Also known as the Worlds Strongest Swordsman, and that's probably the only reason I was brought here is because of my skill." He says nonchalantly as he leans back up against the wall he was leaning on this entire time.
"Self proclaimed Strongest Swordsman or is it a Known fact?" I asked interested in him if he is what he says he is.
"I would say it depends but since I was 17 I've never lost once against anyone besides my now departed teacher…" he says with a slight look of sadness at the parting of his teacher.
"Well if you came to Thriller Bark I could have brought your old master back to life, but as a zombie of course." Says the scary looking clown.
"… I think I'll pass on the offer but thank you for the offer none the less…" he says before pulling his hat over his eyes to rest a bit.
"Suit yourself, I'm Geko Moria! (37) the leader of the scariest place in all the seas! Thriller Bark!!! My own personal moving island ship/theme park, I own the shadow shadow fruit and the name suggests I can use and manipulate all shadows near me to be used however I want, I can even infuse shadows into recently deceased people and reanimate them into zombies!" He says while giving a somewhat enthusiastic speech on his abilities and his ship that he seems very proud of.
"….. Boa Hancock (18) and I'm obviously the most beautiful woman in the world after all so why wouldn't I be here." She said as she began to release her passive attraction ability in the room, but Mihawk, Kuma, Jinbe and Sengoku were all not affected by her charms, it was hard to tell if Doffy was effected because of his grin constantly plastered on his face, Crocodile looked away with a slight blush as he turned away from her but Moria was damn ogling at her like a dog in heat, so I had to teach him a lesson as I sent tiny embers into his eyes to temporarily blind him.
"AHHHH!!!! My eyes!!!" He said as he was frantically rolling on the ground from the pain he was feeling.
"PFFFFHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!" Doffy was laughing his ass off at the scene of it all while giving me the thumbs up for my actions, I returned the thumbs up back, before looking away and acting like I didn't do anything to him.
"ALRIGHT WHOSE THE SMART ASS WHO DID THAT AHH?!?!" Moria said who'll looking at all of us and death glaring at Doffy who was still on the ground laughing at it all before he started to look between me and Crocodile, "It was one of you wasn't it?!" Said pointing at us.
"Me? No I don't have anything against you to do that, but Scar face here said out right he doesn't like any of us so I'd say it's him." I say shifting the blame onto Crocodile
Persuasion lvl. Up!
"Why you little shit you dare try to pin what you did on me!" He says getting pissed as a whirlwind of sand blows around him.
"Ahhh you bitch! You got some of your fucking sand in my eye!" I say rubbing my eyes of nonexistent sand.
Persuasion lvl. Up!
That was enough to finally convince him it was Crocodile so he used his power to start to bend him backwards almost beyond his limits before Sengoku after trying to stay calm from all this finally snapped and smashed the table to pieces.
"This meeting is over… now get the hell off my island the lot of you!" He said barely containing his rage against these idiots. I just grin and wave them all off and give Crocodile the bird as we make our exit back to our boat, but before reaching it we see that rear admiral girl again.
"Looks like will be working together sometimes from now on." I said with a smirk as me and Hancock walk on past her towards the Perfume Yuda.
After hearing that she got a visible tick mark on her head as she began to stomp the ground into rubble from her anger.
But me and Hancock were both back on the ship by then, each of us was handed a Den Den Mushi for each one of the other warlords so we can keep in contact with each other if we want to before we left.
"Well this is gonna be interesting at least, I think I might get along with Doffy, and I enjoy messing with Moria and I know I plan on screwing over Crocodile at some point, and last but not least I plan on testing my sword skills against Mihawk if he's just as good as he says he is."
"Mmmm well you can have fun with that, but for now your ours till we get back darling, I want you to help me to forget about those stupid men and those marine dogs." She say while grinding all over me.
I just grin, "your wish is my command love." I say as I carry her off to our room to enjoy ourselves on our way home.
