Pure terror.

That's what almost every member of Baroque Works felt as they stared up at the small group of mostly  rookie pirates which only grew worse when the three mercenaries and currently strongest of them all, Heat, Wire, and Baby 5 glared at them in suspicion. "So you're all with Baroque Works and not just "some small bounty hunter organization?" Heat asked rhetorically while spitting out the last bit in disgust at the obvious lie.

"Well well well." Igaram jabbered while trying to think of something that can sway the three while also putting himself in front fo the princess in case things turned violent. However the faux agent wasn't able to give an excuse when Izuku answered for him. "That's right, they're known as the millions, next to the bottom of the barrel in the organization next to the billions. Honestly it's a wonder that they haven't been taken out yet." Izuku told them before a thoughtful explanation came to his face. "Though it's probably due to you four, is that right Mr.9, Mr.8 , Miss.Monday and Miss.Wednesday? He asked, calling the four by their code names.

The four named agents were now ghostly white with sweat falling rapidly. How, how could he possibly know so much? They saw that Hawkeye was there but that doesn't explain it because as far as they knew Hawkeye wasn't associated with their organization at all.

"Well as much as giving everyone here heart attacks is, I think it's time to get down to business." He said before turning to his crew. "Sonia and Gloria go defend the ship, the rest of you deal with the agents down there and I don't care how you do it, just make sure you keep the blue haired woman and the esteemed mayor in good shape I want to talk with them about something." He ordered getting nods from the crew while the two undercover agents went even paler at the fact they were singled out in particular.

Izuku ignoring this turned to the three not associated Baroque Works. "Heat, Wire, 5 if you could all just stay out of the way I'd appreciate it , there's something I need to talk with you about later." He said getting raised eyebrows from the two men, just how'd he know their names? As for 5 she couldn't care less the moment she heard the words I need and you she was instantly turned to mush.

Seeing this Izuku nodded. "Now if you excuse me I'm going to go meet the source of that screaming." He told his crew and was about to head over there when he heard a great big shout of "NO!" The crew confused and blinking glanced down to see the bounty hunters now all assembled shaking worse than ever as they pointed their weapons at the group. "We're not letting you let that monster out!" A cowboy shouted in alarm with a nun nodding in agreement. "The second she's free we're all dead!" She screamed. "Yeah we'll fight you bare handed if it comes to it!" A third shouted as more and more chimed in their opinion, not seeing Izuku turn to Kid give him a small nod and get a maniacal grin in return before facing the bounty hunter once again.

"Okay, challenge accepted."

Extending their hands Izuku and Kid activated the Magnet-Magnet Fruit, ripping the weapons out of the bounty hunters' hands much to their shock and horror and form them into balls which Izuku quickly touched and activated the Float-Float Fruit making them float well out of reach with kid taking enough to form a couple of Golem Arms.

With that Izuku disappeared with a Shave leaving his crew with the slowly inching away bounty hunters. "Well you heard him." Law smirked down at the terrified bounty hunters. "Come on devil kings, let's get to work." And with that the pirates sprang into action. Kid  and Law jumped straight into the thick of it with Kid smashing and slashing his unlucky victims apart while also blasting apart others with the assembled guns and cannons on his make shift arms. Law meanwhile was making use of his swordsmanship which proved far superior to those he  was facing. Along with that he also used his Shambles technique to switch places with bounty hunters making them take hits meant for him while also putting Law in position to attack them from behind.

Killer and Hawkins were making their own way through the bounty hunters with Killer mauling his way through with his gauntlets while Hawkins merely pierced his enemies with his blade while also taking hits so more bounty hunters would take the damage themselves, having their hair taken unknowingly by Hawkins durning the party.

Bonney and Monet played clean up what ever was left with Bonney breaking bones with her fist, not bothering with her devil fruit while Monet hit  the remaining bounty with storms worth of Ice and hail burring them until they were suffocating under the frozen water. This included Mr.9 who was hit with a barrage of Snow Rabbits, riddling his body like gunshots until one found its way through his brain killing him instantly. This terrified Ms.Monday at the death of her secret love and distracted her enough for Bonney to land a well placed kick to her spine, killing her instantly.

Through out this Nefertari Vivi, princess of the Arabasta Kingdom sat near catatonic at the carnage that surrounded her, the death of the two numbered agents that despite being apart of the organization she had befriended the two seeing as they were just bounty hunters who joined up with Baroque Works for some extra protection.

Igaram was already in the motion of scooping the princess up in his arm and making a run for the boat they had and flee, the fact that the screaming of their prisoner stopped only made him go quicker however he only made it three steps when a small sun appeared in front of him. "Stop at once!" Ama ordered as it grew hotter and hotter and grew bigger and bigger while Su grew bigger as well as it soared into the air.

"Now now, there's no need to rush." Nami told the man as she approached, careful to step around the large puddles of blood that were forming. "I don't know why Izuku wanted to talk with you but it probably means he does't mean to hurt you yet." The navigator told the captain of the guard which didn't ease his fears or worries at all. As a last resort he threw a desperate glance towards Heat, Wire and Baby 5 silently begging them to help but the men just seemed more focused on the pirates fighting while baby 5 was still lost in Lala land.

Seeing no other choice and with a heavy heart Igaram was about to surrender and plead for the princess's life when a familiar voice to him at least made itself heard. "Well looks like someone here decided to have a party." The voice undeniably male commented with a female laugh accompanying it. "Indeed and a wild one at that Mr.5" The woman continued to laugh.

Hope bloomed in the man's heart as he spun around rapidly. "Mr.5, Ms. Valentine, thank goodness! You're here just in time!" He shouted in relief as he, Nami and the two homies watched the two figures approach.

"Oh?" Mr.5 asked with a raised eyebrow. "And what are we just in time for?" He asked the larger man. "Why to help us of course! With you here these pirates don't stand a chance!" He shouted. "Now please take care of these fools while I get Ms. Wednesday to safely." He requested and was in the process of getting to his feet when a familiar clicking noise came from behind him. Slowly and carefully Igaram turned until he was staring down the barrel of Mr.5's gun.

For the second time that night words failed the guard captain as his brain tried to comprehend what was happening. Mr.5 saw this and snorted. "Why so surprised? You know what happens to traitors of Barouge Works." Mr.5 explained getting a horrified look from the man. "Than again." Mr.5 continued with a smirk. "Is it really treason when you were never loyal to began with? Well Mr.8 or should I call you Igaram, captain of the royal guard?" He asked with Igaram now going into full blown panic especially when the man directed his attention towards the woman in his arms. "Or maybe we should Princess Vivi herself." The high ranking agent suggested while slowly moving towards the pair.

'Princess? No wonder Izuku wanted to talk to her.' Nami thought while trying to learn as much as she could. Igaram seeing the jig was up glared. "Alright you caught us, so what are you going to do with us now, take us to the boss so he could deal with us personally?" Igaram asked getting a snort from the man who merely waved his gun. "Does this look like I'm taking you to the boss? Sorry old man but your little quest ends here and now." Mr.5 told them and was seconds away from pulling the tigger when something fell from the sky and slammed into one of the buildings causing it to collapse. this distracted everyone and gave them enough time for Nami to order Su to get the princess and guard captain out of danger.

Meanwhile the two elite agents were watching the dust cloud and saw a shadow slowly rise. "Where is?" The shadow asked as the dust cleared revealing the figure.

"MY PAY-PAY?!"

Line break

Several Minutes later.

As the devil kings were dealing with the bounty hunters Izuku was making his way towards the source of the screaming until he came to a house that seemed to be bending and cracking as well as shaking.

Walking calmly inside he found non other than one of the flying six herself Ulti, who didn't seem to notice him yet as she continued to scream bloody murder. Having enough Izuku unleashed a small amount of Conquer's Haki, just enough to get her attention which worked as instantly the screaming stoped as she blinked in surprise before slowly turning her head towards the teen, laying her eyes on Izuku for the first time.

Knowing he only had a few seconds Izuku quickly explained. "Now look I'm about to set you free, but before I do you need to promise me something. I'm not with the Beast Pirates but the captain of a different pirate crew, so before I free you I need you to promise that you won't attack my crew." He told her before quickly giving a brief description of each of his cremates. Ulti was unsettling quiet not even questioning how he knew what crew she was with before asking in a quiet voice. "Where is Pay-Pay?" Izuku answer was instant. "I don't know like I said I'm a pirate that's just passing through, though I'm pretty sure he's not here if my Haki is correct but you might want to ask on of the goons who chained you up." Izuku suggested with Ulti slowly nodding but Izuku could see the veins slowly growing on her forehead.

"The keys are in the other room." Ulti told him while jerking her head towards the other room which Izuku quickly entered and found the keys. Less then a minute later Izuku had taken the last of the chains off and helped Ulti to her feet. "Now then let's go and.-BOOM!" Izuku trailed off as Ulti without saying a word jumped high through the roof and high into the air.

"Or you can just do that."

Line break.

"Where is he?!" Ulti shouted again directing her glare towards Mr.5 and Ms.Valentine who gave each other confused looks before looking back towards the raging woman right in time for the blonde woman to take a head but straight to the face, sending her flying and knocking her out. Mr.5 was instantly on guard and was about to fire his gun when Ulti hit him with a Haki powered kick.

The blow instantly send him flying into the building where the party was held. Ulti huffed angrily before slowly turning and stalking towards Nami who raised her Jutte in fear while her homies circled around her. However Ulti didn't make it more than a few feet before Izuku landed in front of her protectively. "I told you, you're not touching my crew. Now I thought you were going to go look for your brother, so hop to it." He told the woman while jerking this thumb to the side getting another snarl from the woman before she went to go search for her beloved Pay-Pay.

Seeing her gone Nami breathed a sigh of relief. "Thanks Izuku." She told him getting a nod from Izuku. "Anytime, now then." He said before turning towards a now awake and extreme nervous Vivi. "I think it's time we had a little talk princess."

Line break.

"And for the past three years Igaram and I have infiltrated Barouge Works as a way to try and figure out what Crocodile is trying to do in my country." Vivi said having just finished her tail. At first the princess had wanted to say nothing but after remembering the massacre the pirates in front of her caused and still laying in the aftermath she relented so now they sat in the dining hall as Vivi told her tale.

She also wanted to keep the fact the boss was one of the seven warlords of the sea Crocodile, which is why it came as shock when the captain of the crew revealed it himself, surprising both her and Igaram as well as Mr.5 and Ms.Valentine who were now chained up with some of the sea prism stone from the ship.

"Well princess I think we can help each other." Izuku told her. "My crew and I are already planning are already on fighting and taking down Crocodile, a task that you seemed you need done. So here's my deal. My crew and I will deal with Crocodile and his agents as well as escort you home if you pay as for the bounties of each agent my crew defeats." Here Izuku stopped and pretended to think for a moment. "I believe that should come to 389,700,000 berries." Izuku fishnet before holding out his hand. "Well princess, do we have a deal?" He asked

In actuality it didn't matter if she took the deal or not. Izuku still planned to beat crocodile and recruit as mean agents of Baroque Works as he can, with one particular member being absolutely vital to recruit.

The rest of the crew was waiting as well including Gloriosa, Sonia and Hawkeye who went with the former two for addition back up. They knew what they're captain was doing having been filled in what Izuku was planning and were ready for whatever the princess choice though Nami however was really hoping she'd take the deal.

"How dare you try and extort the princess like this!" Igaram thundered jumping to his feet in complete out rage at what the pirates were trying after the nightmare they subjected the princess to not even an hour ago and was about to throw more abuse at them when Vivi spoke.

"Why?" She asked. "Why ask for so little when you know what a rough state my country is in? You know you could ask for more and even than I might still accept so why so little?" She asked her eyes narrowing, knowing pirates usually had ulterior motives. Izuku could only offer a shrug. "Like I said earlier we were already planning on going after the croc from the start, figured this way we can make a little extra cash out of it." he told her honestly, causing Vivi to blink in surprise.

"You were planning to fight that monster?" Igaram shouted surprised only to shut his mouth when Izuku shot him an annoyed glare. "So princess." Izuku asked again turning back to Vivi his arm still outstretched. "Do we have a deal?" He asked again with Vivi weighing her options.

'It's not a bad deal.' The princess admitted to herself as she looked at the crew. 'They all seem very capable and even have another warlord on their side.' She thought looking toward Hawkeye. 'Plus the amount is much less than it could've been.' She thought knowing that for an operation and job like this, any one she could hire would ask for much more.

Slowly Princess Vivi slowly raised her hand and beef slowly and surly shaking the pirate captain's hand. "It's a deal." She said getting a nod from and smile from Izuku before the boy turned towards the two Baroque Works agents. "Now than Gem Mikita we need to have a little talk about your futures." He told them while causally standing up and leisurely walking towards them without a care purposely using their real names to put more panic into their hearts.

Which worked as the two instantly froze up at hearing their names. Information like that was completely top secret, which only the boss having access to it. So for this rookie to know them, proved he wasn't normal in any sense of the word.

Izuku at this point had reached them and bent down to eye level. "So the way I see it you have two options." Izuku told them before raising a finger. "The first is to join my crew and help us challenge this world, and everyone in it. This includes your boss who's devil fruit I happen to be quite skilled in." He told them while turning his hand into sand and back again. "The second is two set here waiting two die after those two report your failures." He finished while pointing out the window where everyone could see an oddly dressed order riding on top of a vulture who was flying away at swift pace.

Gem and Mikita seeing this shared a single glance with each other before smiling nervously towards Izuku. "We graciously accept your offer...captain!" Mikita agreed while hastily adding the last bit with Gem nodding rapidly in agreement.

Izuku was all smiles. "Excellent choice."

Line break.

The next two hours went by a blur, as the Devil Kings loaded everything valuable from the town onto their ship. This included food, treasure, weapons and anything else that they could fit into the Charon which thanks to Igaram showing them secret stashes through out the town.

They had also meet Karoo, Vivi's pet super spotted-billed duck who was actually waiting patiently on the deck of the ship along with a very impatient and angry Ulti.

"There you are, you stupid blue haired bitch!" She shouted towards Vivi who immediately took a step back in fright. "Where is my Pay-Pay?! I looked all over this dump and couldn't find him any where! So where are you keeping him?!" She demanded only getting a shake of the head from the princess. "I-I'm sorry but you're the only one we found in the creator." She admitted getting a roar of anger from the short tempered girl. "Oh. that's just great!" First that big bear bastard sends me to this dumb and now I'm told my precious Pay-Pay isn't even here!" She yelled towards the sky before glaring down to Izuku. "You! you freed me so take responsibility and take me to my Pay-Pay!" The woman ordered getting a scowl from Bonney.

"Oh and just why would we do that huh?!" Bonney demanded not giving a crap that she was taking with an elite member of a yonko's crew. Ulti instantly got in the pink haired woman's face. "Because I said do idiot!" She retorted and was seconds away from delivering an Ulti Mortar when Izuku pulled her back. "Look I know you want to get back to your brother and I'm not against helping you." Izuku told her before leaning close. "But you need to realize that we're not a charity service, you board our ship you pull your wait, got it?" He asked causing Ulti to growl and narrow her eyes before slowly nodding.

"Good now than Bonney show her to the woman's quarters." Izuku told his cook who scowled but nodded as she led the short tempered woman into the ship. "Are you sure that was wise captain?" Hawkins having stayed silent during the entire exchange. Izuku looked at him briefly. "You said that chances of mis fortune falling was was round 5% right? Well with odds like that I feel confident in making moves like this." He told the fortune teller who nodded remembering just how low the odds of miss fortune were. In Hawkins eyes, after seeing everything his captain can do, poaching a member away from a yonko was nothing.

By this point the rest of the crew had repapered with Kid looked like he was going to be sick. "What the hell happen with him?" Izuku asked causing Kid to shudder. "I don't want to talk about it." Was all he said causing Nami to roll. her eyes. "Igaram decided to disguise himself as Vivi and Kid didn't take it well. As for Igaram well like I said he's dressed as Vivi and plans to distract them long enough for us to-boooooooommmm!"

All at once the Devil Kings turned and raced towards the edge of the ship were a massive fire ball could be seen in the distance. "IGARAM!" Vivi cried knowing it could be nothing else before trying to jump into the ocean and save him only for Izuku to hold her back. "LET ME GO, LET ME GO! I'VE GOT TO SAVE HIM!" She cried desperately trying to desperately get out of his hold.

Izuku was having none of it. "Good grief calm down he's fine!" Izuku shouted at her, causing her to freeze and slowly turn to him. "What?" She asked in a whisper. "The man is fine, a little shaken and disoriented but fine. I'm sure he's heading towards Arabasta as we speak." Izuku reassured her with the other Observation Haki users confirming the story. Hearing this Vivi managed to calm herself down and the crew managed to finish their preparations and leave Whiskey Peak and head towards. their next destination.

All the while seemingly unaware of the ship and it's lone passenger following them.

Line break.

It was the next day and Vivi was somewhat still trying to adjust to everything that was happening. Less then 12 hours ago she and Igaram were posing as bounty hunters in the very organization that was threatening her country with no real plan to speak of and now she was on here on the ship of the very crew that slaughtered the entire town, 'And won't that be a sight for anyone who arrives there afterward?' Vivi thought. She was also for the first time in three years without Igaram and despite being told by multiple people of the crew that he was alive she couldn't help but worry. The strangest and most worrying part was that she was riding with now two supposedly former Baroque Works agents, Mr.5 and Ms.Valentine or as she knew them now as Gem and Mikita.

Now she didn't have anything against the two personally but considering that they were part of the organization she was trying to take down she couldn't help be skeptical. Speaking of the two she looked down from where she was standing and couldn't help but be more confused as she watched the crew go about their day. Killer, Hawkins and surprisingly Ulti were sparing against Hawkeye though it was obvious the former warlord was barely trying . Izuku and Law were lounging in a couple of deck chairs, looking to be asleep with a couple of fishing poles nearby. Kid and Gem were by the cannons discussing just how they could increase their explosive force and judging by their slightly crazed smiles they were onto something.

Monet and Bonney were simply following Law and Izuku's example and simply sunbathing for the time being with Nami glancing at her log pose every so often ti make sure they weren't turned around. The ones who weren't on deck were the two kuja who were checking on  their fellow kuja and wasn't that another surprise find and Bonney and Mikita who after revealing at this morning's breakfast that her dream was to be a chocolatier had been practically dragged back into the kitchen by Bonney who had a mad gleam in her eye.

Vivi let out a sigh as she glanced  towards Karoo who was giving her a concerned look. Smiling She gently petted his head in reassurance. "It's fine Karoo just still trying to process everything that's happen recently I guess." She told him getting a reassuring smile from the duck.

"Well that's to be expected given what's happen."

Vivi let a scream as she stumbled back until her back hit the railing getting everyone's attention. as they glanced up to see what caused Vivi to scream. This included the kuja as well as Bonney and Mikita who after seeing just who caused the princess to panic started to panic as well. "M-M-M-Ms.All Sunday!" She screamed she looked up at the bosses' right hand in horror.

The woman in question smirked but before she could say anything else Izuku addressed her. "Nico Robin, I've been waiting to meet you. There's something I want to talk to you about" He told her getting right to the chase and getting a raised eyebrow from the woman in question. "Oh and just could the infamous new rookie want with me?" She asked highly amused.

"Poneglyphs."

And like that everyone could see the change that occurred in the newcomer instantly lost all traces of amusement and became cold and guarded. "Oh and just what do you know about those?" She asked, her smile still present but it was one that promised pain if he wasn't careful.

Though Izuku didn't seem worried as he answered. "I know that there should be 30 of them in the world and there are three types of them. Historical Poneglyphs, which reveal pieces of ancient history as well as messages written by ancient people. Instructional ones that contain instructions/clues on the locations on historical ones. And finally the Road poneglyphs, the ones I'm personally most interested in because the four are assumedly needed for someone to make their way to the one piece."

Well wasn't that a bit of an info dump. Looking around at his crew members Izuku could help but chuckle at the gaping looks he was getting from Kid and Law who were probably trying to process what they just learned about finding the legendary treasure. Everyone else showed very levels of surprise except Ulti, and because she was part of a crew who already had a road poneglyph might have already known about it.

The real reward here however was the reaction of Nico Robin who seemed stunned at what she was being told. Slowly she jumped down to the deck and slowly and carefully approached Izuku. "What, what else do you know about them?" She asked her voice barely above a whisper. "I know that that in order to find the Rio ponglyph." Here Robin sucked in a breathe. "Is composed of only nine of the other poneglyphs and to discover its true meaning one must take the other passages with them to the final island which will be revealed by the four road Ponglyphs.

It took everyone about 5 seconds for them to realize what Izuku was saying and when they did they're eyes all widen at the implications. "That's right to discover the true history of the world including the void century it appears one must travel to the final island and the same one the one piece is located on." Izuku assured their thoughts.

For the crew that knew who he was this was a still a massive bit of information, and while they knew it might not technically be accurate for their world it was still a massive clue into getting to the one piece. For the 4 other humans and one duck however it was mind blowing. They couldn't believe what they were hearing and a part of them were saying that the boy in front of them was nuts. But the way he spoke didn't indicate that and the information sounded to genuine to be fake.

Still Robin wasn't going to be deceived or trusting so easily. "How?" She demanded glaring at him in suspicion. "How the hell do you know all of this?!" Her composure breaking as she glared at the young man in front of her. Izuku himself let out a sigh before looking towards the new passengers on the ship. "Well." He said scraping the back of his head with a sigh. "That's a bit of a long story."

And with that Izuku explained everything his quirk, his past, his world and finally how he came to this world and what he'd been doing since he came here. He shut down any doubts once they had left by again like he did before giving out small details of the three devil fruit eater's past to show that he did have their memories and while somethings were slightly different than the ones they had it was enough to convince them he wasn't just spouting bullshit.

It was a little more tricky with Robin so Izuku just stuck with her time before Ohara and her time with Clover and the other archaeologists making sure she knew that he knew that that they were truly good people and if the small smile and sing tear that appeared he succeed.

Once he was done Robin was satisfied with is answer and while she still had a lot of questions she was satisfied for now and had an idea of what he wanted from her. As for Gem, Mikita and Vivi that were still trying to fully comprehend what was they just learned. Gem even fell to the ground in shock.

"That's...I mean..damn." He finally settled on looking towards his new captain. "That's one hell of tail boss." He told him before glancing towards the rest of the crew. "I'm guessing you knew about this already, if your lack of reactions are any indication." He told them getting nods in return.

However any further discussion were put on hold when the sound of faint cannon fire reached their ears instantly grabbing their attention. "Monet." Izuku said and the snow woman nodded and without a word took to the sky having been named the scout considering she could fly and was practically invincible unless one knew Haki.

When she was gone the crew prepared themselves for themselves for battle, with Nami and her homies getting in front of Vivi to protect her. They spent the next 30 second waiting for the snow woman to reappear. And when she did she had a the slightest of troubled looks on her face. "Well Monet, what are we look at here?" Izuku asked with her letting out a hum, "Well the good news is they weren't firing at us." She told them. "And the bad news?" Bonney asked with a sigh knowing nothing was that simple.

"We're looking at about a fleet of 50 ships." The snow woman told them getting gaps of of disbelief from the rest of the crew. "Who the fuck has a crew that big?! Are we dealing with a yonko already?!" Kid demanded and let out a sigh of relief along with everyone when she shock her head no. "Well than who are we fighting?" He demanded getting a smile from Moent.

"Why known other than the pirate armada and rulers of the east blue themselves, The Krieg pirates."

To be continued.

Well here's the next chapter of Devil Fruit Pirate. Sorry it isn't as along as what I usually put out, I just can't seem to focus on anything other than Ragnarok and the last story I'll be publishing for a while Devil Fruit Spider, and I didn't want to half-ass this just to make it longer.

As for this chapter the devil king's meet and and took care of the residents of Whiskey peak, meet the most unstable and loving big sister Ulti and made a deal with a princess to do a little crocodile hunting.

Like I said it wasn't a long chapter but I hope you still enjoyed. The next chapter of Ragnarok should hopefully be out this week and after I get through the first two rounds in that story I'll work on the first chapter of Devil Fruit spider. Don't know shat comes after that so we'll see.

Until Next time,
