Chapter 59

59

A few days later, the excited voices of Johnny and Yosaku echoed across the ship. "Big Bro Zoro! Big Bro Luffy! Big Sis Nami! Big Sis Kunia! Lil bro Usopp! Lil bro Coby! We've arrived!"

"Why am I Big Sis?" Nami grumbled.

"Why am I lil bro?" Usopp grumbled.

"So, what do you think?" Johnny asked once they made their way out. He observed their reactions. Zoro kept a blank face. Nami smiled and let out a low whistle. Usopp looked on in awe. Luffy wore a wide grin.

"It's a huge fish! So cool! I'm getting psyched," he said enthusiastically.

"When you guys are done, we've got company," Kuina commented.

A Marine ship made pulled up next the Going Merry. Nami, Usopp, and the bounty hunter duo all stiffened as someone walked out onto the deck of the by default enemy ship. Coby was quick enough to hide and keep himself not visible. Where did he put his mask again.

"Hey, you pirates! I've never seen your flag before. I am Marine Lieutenant Ironfist Fullbody. Who's your captain? Identify yourselves."

"I am Straw Hat Luffy!" Luffy shouted as he stepped forward. He almost wished that the marine would recognize him as Mario, so he could sink his ship and officially be labled as a pirate.

"I am Honorable Liar Usopp!" Usopp shouted, stepping up beside him.

Luffy shot him an annoyed look, but turned his attention back to Fullbody. "Our mark was just made a couple of days ago!" Luffy shouted back.

"I was the one who saw him make it!" Usopp added, crossing his arms and nodding.

"So… a bunch of kids playing pirates… how typical. Nothing new. Well, I'm just here to eat at the restaurant. Consider yourselves lucky. But the next time we meet, consider your lives forfeit," Fullbody shouted. "Come on darling, our food is waiting for us."

Coby sighed in relief, so not all of the marines he met were bad. But then…

As their ship pulled up towards the entrance to the restaurant, Fullbody turned to the Marine on duty and pointed his thumb down. "Their ship is an eyesore. Sink it." The man didn't even hide his voice.

Coby gapped.

"Hey, the bastards are firing at us!" Yosaku yelled frantically, making Coby frustrated if not angry, what was that marine doing, doesn't he have any honor? Where was the justice in shooting some random people who had a jolly roger? Okay, they might not be just random, but the point still stands… And here he was… dreaming to be one. Well, dreamt of… now he wasn't. He was in with Luffy now, even though he didn't officially declare it.

There was still a part of him, that hoped that in his short journey a marine, a true Marine would come and show the justice that Coby shot after.

Kunia held her sword, preparing to cut the canon ball, but Zoro held her back. He moved his head towards Luffy.

Luffy picked his nose, taking out a booger and coating it with Haki, before flinging it towards the upcoming canon ball. It exploded when it hit the water, but their ship was unharmed.

Honestly, his armament Haki was lacking. He actually planned to blow the whole ship with that one. Well, who could blame him. It's only been a few months since he was able to figure out the last Haki.

His Armament Haki wasn't strong, but his technique was on point. Mainly because he learned to cut steel first, he could coat other things with haki easily. And even was close to Ryo.

But his main problem was that his haki wasn't strong. And even coating something outside other than his fist drained a lot out of him.

"Did you just throw your booger at that thing!?" Yosaku asked.

"I did," Luffy said as if it was obvious.

"How's that even possible!!!" Johnny and Coby shouted.

"Armament!" Kunia said, "Why am I not surprised… so you even know haki." Zoro was confused as the others.

"Shishishi," Luffy just smiled looking at her, much to his amusement. "Don't worry, when you guys build enough strength, I will teach you how to use Haki."

The enemy Marines, who had been ordered to sink their ship,, scrambled for the second cannonball that they didn't think they'd need, and tried to fire it.

"Huf… This is boring." Luffy whined, before taking out Horn's edge from his back. "Nami speed it up, or we might get wet because of some waves."

Sparky rolled his eyes and shot the canon ball down with one of guns, if Luffy wanted to show of he was going to help him.

Nami and Coby had seen what Luffy had done before and she scrambled to the steering wheel of the ship. Now Coby was actually feeling bad for the marines… only a little bit.

And with one swing, all of the crewmates saw the ship get cut in half. The sea waves after that were huge.

But it seemed that Nami was still not fast and the chopped-ship, brought some rainwater on deck making them wet.

Luffy looked a little, "And now we are all wet." He grumbled before he looked towards Nami. Her clothes had been the wettest, and gave a good view on things that a man could imagine. Well, she did wear something underneath, still. Even though Luffy teased Nami, she was packing well there. But what was the fun of admitting that? "We should all get more wet!" he declared.

If Nami did hear what Luffy said, she might have ignored it for the halved-marine-ship. A few days ago, she would have not believed people would be able to do that. And now, here she was.
