╔⏤⏤⏤╝ Chapter 191: Sunacchi ╚⏤⏤⏤╗
You felt like you entered a blizzard, the closer you were getting at Onigashima. It wasn't necessarily cold, but the wind remained strong. Your ships traversed the path between the mountains that led to the island's port. When you arrived there, you found diverse structures like a gigantic katana piercing the ground, water spouters that resembled oni faces, and a wagasa decorated with colorful paper lanterns. At the entrance, statues of a kitsune were lined up at the entrance of the port.
On your left side was a lookout station with people currently on guard duty. Usopp took the opportunity of them being too drunk to notice anything to shoot a sleeping plant their way. Once the ships were closer to the docks, your allies began to disembark before they destroyed their ships and sank them, to the disbelief of your crewmates.
"What's all this about?!" Usopp cried out.
"What are they doing?!" Chopper added.
"Listen, everyone! We will split up into two groups and take the mountain paths to the back entrance! Follow me, or Denjiro!" Kin'emon instructed the soldiers.
"Oi! We all worked so hard to repair those ships!" Franky snapped.
"Are they sinking the ships to hide them? It will be impossible for them to sail afterward...They can't escape anymore" you said.
"Do not worry. We will all sink them. Because we do not need return ships!" Kin'emon spoke.
"What an incredible display. We saw how earnest those samurai warriors really are" Brook breathed in shock. "There is no hesitation in them, only determination. Win or die. There is no arrogance in taking on an Emperor of the Sea!"
"Does it mean we have to sink the Sunny, too?!" Usopp and Chopper said in unison, to which Franky slapped the back of their heads.
"HELL NO!"
"A small number of ships can be hid. We should go ashore now" Jimbei told.
The moment you set foot on land in front of the bridge, Chopper and Carrot both froze in their steps when they took a look at the other side.
"Oh, no! This is no good!" the Mink exclaimed, Sanji stopped by her side in confusion.
"What is it, Carrot-chan? Is something wrong?" he asked.
"Look! How didn't we notice there was so many enemies at the shore!" the reindeer pointed on the other side of the bridge.
"They are not. Look at the end of the bridge" you told him.
At first, you would think they were Waiters that appeared at the shore out of nowhere, but it was actually the samurai wearing a disguise. There was a portal where the bridge ended, and anyone who passed through it got their clothes altered to match a subordinate of Kaido. In fact, Kid and his men were the next ones in line to pass through it.
"Hey! What's this?!" the red haired pirate cried out.
"Faffaffaffa! That's what the enemies wear" Killer told him.
"Jaggy! That looks perfect on you! It makes you look really strong!" Luffy chuckled as he waved Kid over.
"S-SHUT UP!" he barked with a flush.
"That's one of my special techniques. Garb-Garb Kin's Clothing Company!" Kin'emon explained to them. "It seems that you people sure are some mighty pirates. You can invade this island as you like, but they are overflowing with talent! Their forces are more than five times larger than ours. So I advise you to take advantage of those disguises!"
"This is good. We just wanna take down Kaido, we don't have time for any other small fries..." Killer trailed.
"Luffy-dono! Why don't you guys pass through it, too?" the samurai then turned to you guys standing on the bridge.
"Looks fun!" your captain laughed, running straight to the portal with Chopper in tow.
"Nami-san! You're even more tantalizing!!!" Sanji cried out when he caught sight of Nami disguised in the sexy uniform.
"Yohohoho! How do I look?" Brook questioned after he passed through the portal.
"So ordinary" came Robin's blunt response as she passed by him without even sending him a glance. Her words crushed the poor musician's spirit. Litterally.
"Don't you care enough to even make fun of me?" Brook mourned, falling on his knees and a dark cloud hovering him.
"Robin-chan, you're so cool and beautiful!" the cook twirled around the woman.
You sighed when your turn came by. You passed through the veil as quick as possible so you were finally done with it. The first thing you noticed was how small the (f/c) bikini actually was compared to what you were seeing. The skirt barely covered your ass, and you won't even mention how itchy the fur of (f/c) was against your skin. One thing for sure, you weren't bending over anytime soon with the guys around.
You gritted your teeth, sending a dark look at Kin'emon who was trying his hardest to not stare too long, but the pervert inside of him didn't allow it after a few seconds.
"Do you want me to rip your eyes out?" you spat darkly.
"M-MY APOLOGIES!!!" the man panicked, shaking his hands in front of him.
"(y/n)-swan! I simply can't handle your sexiness!" Sanji fell backward with a nosebleed, Brook and Usopp doing the same.
"Oi, dumb Marimo! Are you staring at my ass?!" you caught Zoro's only eye wandering too far. Caught right handed, the first mate blushed brightly.
"I WAS NOT, STUPID MUMMY!"
"And you samurais, stare too long and your sight will be long gone after I'm done with all of you!!!" you turned your wrath in the direction of the soldiers who were too busy to drool to notice the danger lurking ahead of them.
"You guys all look great!" Luffy laughed. "This technique is great, Kin'emon!"
"I appreciate the compliment. Now, since it is only my technique, once you take them off or tear them, your clothes will turn back to your original kimono!" Kin'emon warned, before turning to face his allies. "My fellow warriors! This is Onigashima, Kaido's stronghold! Our enemies are way stronger than us! But our spirits are high enough! However, avoid unnecessary battles whenever possible, and try to reach the castle for the final battle! Good luck!"
The raid kicked off, with the army separating in groups: the eastern forces led by Kin'emon and the southern forces led by Denjiro. Your crew returned to the Sunny gather some things while everyone left. With Franky's Black Rhino FR-U4 and Brachio Tank 5, you will be able to catch up with them quickly and safely.
"Now we're all ready!" Franky grinned, but his smile fell when he noticed someone was missing. "...Where's Luffy?"
"Well, because Eustass Kid and his people went into the island head-on...He decided to try to stop them" Jimbei told.
"HE'LL DEFINITELY MAKE THINGS WORSE!" you all yelled, causing the fishman to sweatdrop.
"WHY DIDN'T YOU STOP HIM?!" Usopp barked.
"But Roronoa Zoro said what you just said and tried to stop him too..."
"HE'LL JUST LOSE HIS WAY FOR SURE!"
"I-I see..."
"We'll have to catch up with them as fast as possible before they cause trouble. However, knowning them they probably already did" you sweated with a blank look.
Usopp and Chopper took command of the Brachio, the first one happy to be surrounded by beautiful women inside the tank who squeazed them all a bit too tightly in places...to the dismay of Sanji who could only glare at the sniper in dread and shock. Franky stopped his motorcycle next to Robin and Brook:
"Would you like to ride on the back?" he offered, and Robin simply smiled.
"Okay, I'm ready" Brook quickly took the back seat, to the cyborg's annoyance and surprise.
"Y-You?!"
"How about a little bromance? Yohohoho!"
"Well, okay. Commander Chopper! Meet me at the back of the island and we'll combine these vehicles. Good luck!" Franky sent a thumb-up toward the doctor whose eyes widened at the word 'combine'.
"DOCKING?! ROGER!!!" Chopper nodded in tears.
Franky turned on the motorcycle, blasting away with Brook who could barely hang himself there to not fall. He reminded you of some haunted doll. Usopp started the tank, and followed after Franky while Sanji sat on top of it:
"Robin-chan! (y/n)-swan! Come sit with me!!" he waved at you eagerly.
"No thanks. You'll get dirty with dust" Robin refused, watching a crestfallen Sanji disappear in the distance. "Shall we walk, (y/n) and Boss-san?"
"I don't really have a choice, do I?" you walked ahead with Robin and Jimbei following right after.
As the two conversed about the toast and the upcoming battle, you took a look at your surroundings. Your eyes narrowed when you thought you felt a presence nearby. It was...strange. You stopped and glanced behind you, and even if you didn't notice anything suspicious, you knew there was something out there.
"Hm. Are you okay, (y/n)?" Jimbei inquired when he noticed how you were constantly staring over your shoulder.
"Yeah...I'm fine. Just having a hunch suddenly for no reason. Let's go"
Jimbei sweatdropped as you muttered curses under your breath while you readjusted your bikini shorts. The material was itchy and almost disappearing between your ass cheeks. How did the women members not die after wearing this thing for a whole day? You would rather wear the same clothes as Brook at that point. Robin giggled at the frustrated look on your face, who soon became sour as her amusement grown the more you struggled.
"Stop laughing! I don't get how people can move in those!" you complained.
"Oh? I find them comfortable, somewhat" spoke Robin with a small smile. "You are not used to skirts, no?"
"The problem isn't the skirt, it's the frikin under-"
You whipped your head to glare over your shoulder once again. You thought you just heard a choked sound just now. Both your crewmates sent questioning looks in your direction, wondering if you were doing fine.
"I swear, if I find this stalker I will have a few words with him..."
The name of Performance Floor certainly fit perfectly, judging from the Beast Pirates partying super hard around you. You finally reached Kaido's castle inside the Skull Dome, separated from the others. The enemy was too drunk and no virtual security. A perfect occassion for the samurais to snuck in without being spotted or questioned. Among the faces across the crowd, you recognized a few of your allies along Hyogoro and region bosses. No sight of your crewmates yet, and this slightly worried you.
You pushed your way through the crowd of drunkards, ignoring the cat calls and those who were trying to grope you as you passed by. As much as you wanted to kill them, Kin'emon did mention to avoid unnecessary fights as much as possible. Robin and Jimbei stayed behind while you went ahead.
"Hey there, sweet cheeks!"
You froze on the spot when an arm enrolled around your shoulder. You were tugged into a firm chest of a drunk Waiter, said man chugging down whatever they served tonight in that giant cup of his. He burped loudly in your ears, and you scowled at the annoying smell of old sake hitting you square in the nose.
"Never saw ya before...New girly?" he hiccupped, his hand caressing your face. "So pretty and doughy too"
"Doughy?! What does that even mean, asshat?!" you sent the stupid drunkard flying with one punch.
His comrades didn't even blink in your direction or paid attention that much, not even after he crashed through a wall. Either they were too drunk to notice anything, or they just didn't care. Comradery wasn't a strong a trait in them. You continued your search for the others when you overheard an announcement:
"Shogun Orochi presents! An impromptu special event starting now!" a voice resonated from speakers across the room.
It came from the front, and when you turned around the corner to see what was happening, your heart skipped a beat. Momonosuke was tied up to a cross by chains, looking beaten up to a pulp with his cheeks and eyes swollen. Orochi was standing beside him with a bigger man. Blond hair pulled into a thick, queue-like braid. Head hunched and undistinguished from his neck due to his plumpness, with his eyes hidden behind sunglasses. He had a tattoo on his arm, the word 'Queen' with the jolly roger of Kaido printed on it.
"Everyone! The brat that you see...He's Kozuki Oden's son who was thought to be dead 20 years ago!" Orochi took the mic from Queen, approaching the bleeding child. "Tonight, I'll show this brat mercy, and send him to meet his father!"
"Momonosuke...." you gritted your teeth in anger, fists clenching tightly. Judging from the faces your allies were making, you weren't the only one who was peeved.
"Why is he still alive? Why is he still a child? Do you wanna know?!" the Shogun inquired as the crowd roared in cheers. "The day Kozuki Oden died, his stronghold also collapsed! But a group of people who were in the castle vanished in thin air! The Akazaya samurai and this brat! Where did they go? Huh. To the future!"
Orochi continued to retold the story on how Toki sent Kin'emon and the others in the future, 20 years through time. Compared her to a witch, an insult that didn't settle well with Momonosuke concerning his mother. The child narrowed his eyes at the Shogun:
"To say that my mother was a witch...What an insult! I'll make you pay, Orochi!" he spat.
"Oi, oi, oi. Who do you think you are talking to like that?!" Queen leaned closer to the kid, tapping the wooden pillars right next to his head.
"Ah! I'll send you to kingdom come soon. Then you can cry to your mother!" Orochi smiled cruelly with a snort.
"My father's dream will never die! Even if you execute me, my retainers and Luffy-dono will open up the Land of Wano and pave the way for the future!" Momo said.
"You squirt! Don't try to act tough! How should I execute you? Stabbing? Shooting? Or maybe boiling?!"
"SHOOT HIM!"
"I vote for boiling! That little punk can't survive for an hour like his father did!"
"Those bastards..." you whispered, feeling the rage consuming your being. "To hurt a child..."
"Make some noise! Drink! Kozuki's history will completely end here! Even if the Akazaya samurai come dashing in, it's gonna be too late!" Orochi laughed loudly. "Let's have a drink to celebrate the execution!"
At that exact moment, loud footsteps thundered from the room behind Orochi. Each one felt like an earthquake to you, and Kaido's subordinates spit out their drink when the Emperor himself made a sudden appearance on the Performance Floor. He was followed by King and Jack, who were closely standing behind him like bodyguards. Fukurokuju was also attending Kaido's side, remaining mostly in the shadows for now. The men around you cheered their leader's name, beyond ecstatic to finally see the boss.
"Listen up! Let me add something interesting to this boring brat's execution" Kaido roared slamming down his club on the floor at his side. "It's the New Onigashima Project!"
"New...Onigashima Project?" you repeated quietly to yourself in confusion. "What are they up to?"
"O(y/n)-san!!" a loud whisper came from behind you.
You glanced behind to catch a glimpse of Daichi making his way to you along with Sadao and Hideo. It seems they were able to infiltrate the castle without getting caught, too.
"We have a problem...It's Luffytaro-san!" the old man said once he stopped by you with the twins still behind. "We saw him being dragged by an unknown, masked figure earlier! They were running away from Waiters!"
"Urgh. Typical Luffy..." you growled under your breath. "He will be fine. As for that mask guy, if he wanted to hurt him I don't think he would be dragging his stupid butt around"
"One thing we can be thankful of is that nobody has suspected anything yet..." spoke Hideo.
"So many cute girls..." Sadao commented with a dorky smile, pink faced as he gazed at a Waiter woman who was cheering a bit too much for Queen.
"NOT THE MOMENT, SADAO" the three of you slapped the perverted twin.
"It's been two years since the Paramount War against Whitebeard! The world has finally started moving! They decided to abolish the Seven Warlords of the Sea not because the Government went nuts!" Kaido continued with his announcement. "It's a sign of their confidence that they can bring us under control with their new force. But while the World Government is convinced of that, we'll collect the most powerful forces in this world, the Ancient Weapons! To accomplish that, we allied with Big Mom!"
A nearby wall exploded, sending flying a few subordinates in the air. Purple lightnings cracked from the newly-made hole, a giant figure stepped out from the rubbles. It seems Big Mom has arrived at the Performance Floor with a few Homies at her side, ones she gave souls from random objects she could find on Onigashima. But what truly unnerved you at the moment was Nami and Carrot being held hostage by the Homies. Zeus was unconscious through the old woman's grasp, and your comrades struggled to remove their bindings.
"Took you long enough, Linlin!" spat Kaido.
"Don't be so stiff, Kaido! I made it in time! Mamamama!" she laughed. "As Kaido said, we formed an alliance for a purpose! If we're at each other's throats, it's out of our reach, but if we join hands, it's already within our grasp! We'll concentrate on pirating!"
"We're finally going to get the great treasure of the One Piece!" the two Emperors said in unison.
"One Piece?!" you blinked as Kaido's men cheered loudly.
"The presence of the Ancient Weapons will bring about fear and a war in the world! Prepare yourselves! That's the world of violence that we hope for!" told Kaido.
"The Ancient Weapons..." Daichi sweated, his complexion paling.
"Three of them exist, bearing the names of gods. Pluton. Uranus. Poseidon. If they seize those powers, the world will lose its balance and hurtle down the path of destruction" you explained, expression tight. "The Ancient Weapons...If only they knew..."
"U-Uh?!" the old man glanced at you in confusion, freezing at the look in your eyes. Dark. Murderous. Red. "O(y/n), is everything okay-?"
"So listen, Orochi's subordinates! You must choose" the Emperor trailed, and this earned the attention of Orochi in particular. "This country...is a natural stronghold surrounded by the falls which the Marine and the World Government can't easily penetrate. If we build more weapon factories, and force even the people of the Flower Capital to work, this place will become a lawless land, a paradise for pirates!"
"Kaido-sama...What do you mean?" Fukurokuju inquired.
"OI, KAIDO YOU BASTARD! What are you blabbing about?! The Flower Capital is my home turf! Just because I'm Kurozumi, do you know how much pain the Kozuki Clan has given me over the years?! I was persecuted and despised just for being alive, and they took away everything from me!" Orochi snarled at the Emperor. "A grudge against the Kozuki Clan...and against the Land of Wano! An urge for revenge against them all...THAT IS WHAT HAS DRIVEN ME ALL THIS WAY! In a sense, the Flower Capital is the symbol of the Kurozumi Clan's retaliation! Their lands and lives are all mine! Even you can't mess with it as you please!"
The Shogun continued on with his monologue while Kaido turned to face down Momonosuke. The poor child began to tremble under his gaze, the shadow in his eyes impossible to tell what the Emperor was thinking. King handed over his sword to his captain without a word, and you watched as Kaido cracked his neck side to side.
Sweat ran down Momonosuke's forehead, more when Kaido lifted the sword. But the one who would be struck down was none other than the current Shogun. To the shock and fright of everyone, Kaido sliced off Orochi's head in one swift move. The man's body fell down on the floor with a sickening thud:
"I couldn't care less! We don't need him anymore!" Kaido shouted, wiping off the blood from the katana's blade. He walked up to Momonosuke, slamming his fist right above the crossed pillars that held him. "To me, both the Kurozumi Clan and the Kozuki Clan mean nothing! Now the fly that was attracted to pirates is dead. Decide what to do in five seconds, Orochi's men! Do you wanna become pirates and follow me? Or do you wanna challenge us here and die? To prepare for the upcoming world war, I will turn this country into a pirate empire!"
"We'll go on more expeditions for our primary business. So tonight, we'll relocate this Onigashima to the Flower Capital, and the Land of Wano will fall! Rename the country New Onigashima. The new Shogun is my son...Yamato!"
"To turn a whole country into a den for pirates...This bastard..." Daichi growled, clenching his fists.
"Now choose, Orochi's samurai! Do you wanna die alongside your lord here?! Or conquer the world with me?!" Kaido demanded once again, slamming his club threateningly. "I know how you samurai are loyal. I admire even those of you who challenge us! The Land of Wano will change. Along with our new allies, we'll build a new foundation for this world! So what are you gonna do?..."
"...The Land of Wano Ninja Force and Oniwabanshu! 5,000 strong! We'd like to serve you!" Fukurokuju finally gave his answer.
"Likewise, the Land of Wano Samurai Force, 5,000 strong! We'll serve you from now on!"
"They truly have no sense of loyalty, they should hardly call themselves samurais..." you sweated.
"Now in the Land of Wano, there is no Shogun or samurai who serve under him! The foolish citizens of the Flower Capital must be enjoying the festivities too much to see that this will be their last day" Kaido spoke, gazing at the trembling form of Momonosuke. "What do you see in the future you imagine? A coward like you can't be that daring Kozuki Oden's son!"
"I..." the boy gulped.
"This execution is for bringing an end to the old Land of Wano. Looking back at that day 20 years ago, in the burning castle, you didn't answer my question! If you're not Kozuki Oden and Toki's son, I'll cancel your execution immediately. I'd be ashamed because it would've been a false accusation. But if you doggedly say you're their son, you'll face the same fate as Oden"
You couldn't take anymore of this. You were about to run up to the stage, only to be held back by Sadao and Hideo. They knew how frustrated you were with all of this. Unfortunately, you couldn't reveal yourself just yet. Not before the samurais gave the signal.
"Let met ask you one more time, brat. What is your name?!" the Emperor demanded.
"Kaido-sama is so generous. All that brat has to do is lie and he can survive!"
"Come up with a funny name, kid!"
"Momonosuke!" you thought, gritting your teeth tightly. You were on the verge of causing a whole annihilation inside the Performance Floor.
Tears cascaded down his cheeks, avoiding Kaido's eyes as much as possible. He shook his head, his owns hardening as he slammed his little feet on the pillars before yelling:
"The word 'Momo' stands for peerless! My name is Kozuki Momonosuke! I'm the one who'll become the Shogun of the Land of Wano!"
His words moved the army. Hyogoro shed a tear at the braveness of the young child. Daichi and the twins couldn't help but do the same, too. Kaido, however, his expression turned into one of pure rage. He grabbed the sword at his side:
"Are there only idiots in the Land of Wano?!"
Momonosuke began to cry in fright, thinking that it was the end now. Only, another explosion reverberated across the whole stage. This one was bigger and stronger than Big Mom made, said woman being propelled backward at the force of it. Two figures jumped out of the fire, or more like they were flying out of the hole. One of them you recognized that belong to none other than your idiot captain, while the taller figure of a horned woman remained unknown to you.
"THAT STUPID COW-GORILLA! HE WAS GONNA KILL ME!!" she yelled with tears and snot coming out of her nose.
Your eyes widened like saucers when you realized they were coming toward you at inhuman speed. The word 'Shit' came to your mind before the young woman body slammed you like a wrecking ball. She fell on top of you, both of your chest pressed together tightly as you groaned in pain. Well, her face mostly landed between your breasts, and you were seriously wondering if they were a magnet to people's faces.
She gripped her throbbing head, the strain from the collision still very much apparent. But the moment her orange eyes fell on you, they became like stars as she gasped in shock:
"Y-You are-! SILVERS~!"
"What-WERK!" you began to say only to have your face smoshed in her chest in turn as she hugged the daylights out of you.
"Oh my youdon'tknowhowmuchIwantedtomeetyouand-" her sentence came out unintelligible and fast, while Luffy crashed a few feet away from you.
"WHO THE REALM OF HELL ARE YOU?!" you tried to push the crazy woman away, but she was far much stronger than she seems. "LUFFY! GET HER OFF-"
"Oh, this is Yamao. Kaido's son" he introduced dismissively to this person who actually referred themselves as a man.
"It's Yamato!"
"KAIDO'S SON?! DON'T YOU THINK YOU SHOULD EXPLAIN FURTHER?!" you snapped.
"Y-Y-Y-YOUNG MASTER!" Queen spat out in surprise at the sight of him.
"This jerk...." Yamato growled when he finally came back to his senses, standing up to face Kaido who was staring at him in disbelief. "He's not my father anymore! I'll take care of him myself!"
The Oni was about to launch himself at his father, if it wasn't of Luffy stopping him by grabbing his neck. Yamato shot your captain a glare, demanding to be released so he could save Momonosuke. Luffy simply shook his head, smiling as he gazed at the floor your top enemies were standing on:
"We made it in time, but it's not supposed to be me or Yamao! We're not the ones who'll start the great battle!"
Everything went in slow motion. The wall behind Kaido was sliced open, and the Akazaya samurai finally made their appearance. This took the Emperor by surprise along with his subordinates, who could only watch as they all charged at Kaido. King and Jack were disarmed in the process, and Queen took the mic to warn the others:
"STOP DRINKING, YOU FOOLS! WE'RE GETTING RAIDED!"
The nine samurais jumped in the air after they closed in the distance between them and the Emperor. Weapons in hand, they readied them as they yelled loud and clear before stricking down:
"SUNACCHI!!!"
