It was the 4th day of the cooking festival and the Devil King pirates were enjoying themselves immensely, though that was slightly dampened by the slight tension filling the air around their ship. The cause of this? The two new members they had picked up just minutes after meeting them. Jewelry Bonney wasn't that bad honestly. The woman was honestly just stand offish with most of the crew. True she was friendly towards Izuku, but he had already proven himself in her eyes.

After Izuku, Killer was the one who got along with her best, mostly because they hardly spoke with each other. Nami and Bonney had a weird relationship. At first they seemed to get along well enough and seemed to make a connection. The problems started when their personailties started to clash. Having neither been around another woman as firey as them before. They managed to get along for the most part but every now and then an argument would break out and the men wisely kept their distance during this time.

Bonney just found Hawkins weird, not showing much emotion and seemingly knowing wants going to happen, would make it diffucult for the woman to come and trust the man. Her relationship with Eustass didn't improve much after that first night throwing barbs and insults at each other whenever they got the chance.

However  it was Law where most of the problems lied. For Izuku, Killer and Hawkins the man was fine as they were able to get along with his personality and dark demeanor as they had been around or had experienced such behavior before. Nami was okay for the most part but still had her reservations about Law, mainly for the fact he seemed to enjoy creeping her it just to get  a reaction out of her, and even though the rest would deny it the rest of the crew would did find it funny when ever she freaked out.

However that didn't stop the pair from quickly becoming infuriated when Law turned this on  them with  Bonney throwing around blast of aging and dealing blast at the doctor which he calmly dodged or directed towards someone else with his devil fruit powers. This someone was usually/always kid who had been turned into a kid or old man more times than he could count. That mixed with Law's mouth and seemingly enterally amused personality already had Kid on his last nerve. The worst part was that Law had already proven his worth as their doctor having not only patched up Kid but also healed up any lingering injuries and scars until they were complete gone.

Seeing that they had nothing to convince Izuku to kick Law of the crew with they settled with glaring at him and snapping at him at every opportunity. This unfortunately only seemed to amuse Law if his smirk widening during each of these times was any indication. It didn't help that Law would end each of these interactions with a very rude hand gesture. Still he was part of the crew now and everyone had to adjust to it.

Right now the crew had split up into pairs to enjoy the parts of the festival. Bonney and Nami paired up after saying they needed some girl time while looking to sample more exotic fruits and vegetables.  Hawkins and Killer paired up, the pair enjoying the quiet spoke about past experiences while enjoying some classic noddle dishes. Finally there was Kid and Izuku happily chatting about fights they had in the past while enjoying the surf and turf that was being served at the coast. Kid's mood was damped somewhat when Law had joined them on his lunch break, though he did crack an occasional smile and small chuckle when the doctor told them some stories of his own.

With Nami and Bonney.

"And by the time they got back I had taken everything!" Nami laughed as she finished a story from her days as a pirate thief with Bonney laughing besides her, a huge bulging sack of food slung over her shoulder as the pair passed multiple fruits stands. "Damn they must've been pissed!" Bonney continued to laugh along with Nami.

The two had just finished shopping for the food that they would need for the next week( though Nami doubted that it would last three days given how much the crew ate), and where currently just browsing the fruit stands while trying exotic fruits from each of the four blues when a large crowd caught their attention.

Growing curious the 2 walked over and pushed their way through the crowd until they were able to properly see. The source of the crowd was a large lever with a large tankard of fruits attached to it. A large middle aged man standing next to it. "Step right up, step right up! Take a spin for a chance to win the grand prize! 3 pulls for 500 Berri's for !" He exclaimed before spotting Bonney and Nami and beckoning them forward. "You two, lovely ladies look like you could use some fun, why not give it a try?" He said gesturing to the machine. Raising an eyebrow and seeing everyone's eyes on her Nami looked over to Bonney who could only shrug as a response and seeing no other option the two slowly approached the roulette.

"Alright ladies here's the deal!. Pull the lever and win a fruit, it's that simple! The machine will jumble them up before spitting one out at random! Who know's you might even when the grand prize!" The stand owner finished with a grin. "Oh and what ever could this grand prize be? A devil fruit?" Bonney asked sarcastically and a role of her yes. However when she saw the owner's grin widened she felt her own eyes widen in disbelief. "No way." The cook muttered her tone matching her face.

"Don't believe me, step up and take your chances." The man challenged crossing his arms and his grin firmly in place. Raising an eyebrow she went over to the machine before facing the stand owner. "Mind if I examine it? You know just to make sure everything's on the up and up?" She requested with the man shrugging. "Sure go ahead I got nothing to hide." With that Nami examined the machine the best she could and every way she knew how, her years as a thief teaching her how to reveal a scam when there was one.

To her surprise however the machine was completely untouched, working just as the man said it would. Nami's surprise must have shown on her face because the stand owner let out a laugh. "Come on girly, give me a little credit here! I know this is the perfect set up for a scam but my pride of as a gambler wont allow it!" He continued to laugh. "Besides I know better to start a scam that could possibly rip off pirates. I mean look at me, does it look like I know how to fight?!" He asked rhetorically his laughter growing louder and harder.

Finally after a few seconds he was able to get his laughter out of control. "So what do you say red? Want to give it a try? Only 500 beri for 3 tries." He asked with Nami thinking it over before finally shrugging. "Sure why not?" She asked while approaching the lever with the crowd cheering her on. "I'm surprised you're willing to do this." Bonney said as Nami handed over the coins with Nami shrugging. "What can I say, gamblings a hobby of mine." Nami grinned before it became a smirk. "Besides worst case I get three pieces of fruit cheaper then most of these stall are selling one.

Without any further prompting Nami pulled the lever the first time. The machine shock and the sound of something tumbling could be heard until finally something landed in the tray. "And for the lady's first attempt she got Watermelon Barries from the West Blue! The great taste of Watermelon in the convent size of strawberries." The owner told the crowd as Nami plucked one of the tiny melons off  the stem and plopped it in her mouth. 'So sweet!" She squealed in her mind enjoying the taste before passing one to Bonny who couldn't contain her squeal of delight.

Chuckling the stand owner passed a bag to Nami so she could hold the fruit she would win who took it with a thank you and placed the Barries in the bag before pulling the lever again the machine shaking and tumbling and when the crowd  saw the fruit that came out.

It was a an apple that was colored obsidian black with red swirls covering it. Nami stared down at the fruit confused until The owner brought out a bell and begun to run it. "She's done it folks, This lovely lady has grand prize, the Devil Fruit! Will she eat it, or will she sell it?! The choice is entirely hers!" The owner yelled as a few people in the crowd shifted away seeing the prize was gone while the rest cheered, happy the prize had been claimed.

'Eat it?' Nami thought unsure of what to do. 'Give up the ability to swim in exchange for a power' Nami thought her eyes looking troubled as she began to turn and walk away, only to stop only Bonney placed her hand the navigator's shoulder with a raised eyebrow. "You know you still have one last pull to do." She said pointing over her shoulder to the machine.

Shaking her head Nami walked back over to the machine after making sure the Devil Fruit was safely put away. "Oh yeah, sorry about that." Nami apologized with a sheepish laugh getting some chuckles in return from the audience. Pulling the machine those watching were eager to see what the insanely lucky girl would get as her final fruit.

Which is why more then a few more surprised and disappointed with what popped out. "Well they can't all be winners folks." The stand owner said. "Well little lady you scored pretty well, the grand prize and a rare watermelon Barries, diffidently makes up for that one dud right?" He asked with Nami shaking her head with a smile.

"Oh I wouldn't call this a dud." Nami said looking fondly down at the tangerine in her hands. "Not a dud at all."

Line break

"So are you going to eat it" Bonney asked as she and Nami walked down the road towards the next food district. It had been about half an hour since they had left the stand owner and the crowd behind with Nami currently looking the fruit over and could only offer a small shrug in return. "Maybe, I mean I know it would be beneficial to the crew, and Hawkins did say I would get a way to fight soon." Nami muttered but still looked unsure while Bonney just sighed.

"Look why don't we just wait until we get back to the ship. Izuku probably knows what that fruit is, he can identify it and then we can go from there." Bonney suggested with Nami thinking about it for a second before a smile came to her face as she nodded causing Bonney to grin. "Great now that that's settled let's go get some more food." Bonney suggested with Nami nodding in agreement ready to do just that.

And that is when explosions started.

Screams of panic, the roars of fire and explosions filled the air with the ground shaking and people running in a panic nearly knocking the 2 to the ground as people ran in a frenzy to anywhere they thought was safe. "What the hell's going on?!" Nami screamed trying her best to keep from being crushed in the stampede of panic." "What do you think is happening?! Some one's attacking the festival! The question is who!" Bonny retorted having shoved people who were getting to close out of her way. Her question however was answered a few seconds later however when a large square of marines lead by Eric swarmed in while Eric himself approached the two girls, smug smile firmly in place.

"Well, well what do we have here? Two pirate wenches walking around free?" He asked before shaking his head. "Oh no, that wont do at all." He told them getting scowls in return. "And just what makes you think we're pirates?" Nami asked defiantly, knowing these marines had no evidence that could prove they were. Though she did feel a lump form in her throat when Eric just snickered. "Oh just the fact that a few of our spies witnessed that one." Here he pointed to Bonney." agree to join a pirate grew." and here he pointed towards Nami. "And you were not only seen with them but also left with them, and have been seen multiple times leaving the same ship as the rest of your little group." The purple haired man finished his expiation with the two devil kings clicking their tongues in annoyance.

"Okay fine we're pirates. Congratulations you got us!" Bonney relented while saying that last bit with no small bit of sarcasm. "But that doesn't explain why you and the rest of your dogs are attacking this island, as far as I could tell no one was doing shit before you arrived!" Bonney accused and to their credit the marines with the mercenary did flinch and have looks of shame on their faces.

Eric on the other hand just continued to snicker. "Oh is that right, funny from what I heard pirates attacked and bombed the island while sadly  killing everyone on it before the marines arrived and killed the vile pirates in righteous retribution."  Eric snickered which only got worse when when he saw the disgusted looks on the women's faces.

"Bilge rat." Bonney snarled quietly before grabbing Nami's arm. "Come on, there's to many of them here, we gotta regroup with the rest fo the crew!" Bonney shouted as the two began to run. 'Oh no you don't." Eric thought before making a cutting motion sending a large razor-sharp gust towards a building hitting it and sending the debris down on to the girls forcing them to separate with Nami on one side and Bonney on the other.

"God dammit!" Bonney shouted and was about to start smashing away the the wreckage only to narrowly avoid being shot full of bullets from another approaching squad of marines. "Bonney, are you okay?!" Nami screamed having heard the gun shots from the other side while keeping her eyes on Eric and his squad slowly approaching with the man clearly enjoying himself.

"I'm fine, but I cant get to you right now! You'll have to handle yourself for now, can you do that?!" Bonney said trying to find the best escape route with Nami paling at the thought of being left alone to face all this one her own. 'Can I really do this?' The navigator thought as she started shaking. However that's when she remembered the bag she was holding and more specially what's inside out. 'No! I can do it, I have a way to fight now!" Nami thought to herself before bringing out the devil fruit. "Bonney, go on ahead I'll be fine!" Nami shouted with Bonney unseen by Nami "Right, I'll try to get over there as soon as I can!" The cook shouted before running off and attacking any marine that got out of his way.

Back with Nami she stared at the apple in her hand with determination. 'Alright, let's see what you can do!' Nami thought before Taking a large bite out of it with her face morphing into one of disgust as the taste it her with Nami dropping the fruit. 'This must be what raw sewage taste like!' Nami thought gagging as she could feel her taste buds die.

By this point Eric and the marines had fully encircled her as the mercenary looked on amused as he bent down and picked up the apple that had stopped by his feet. "Oh, so you think eating a devil fruit would help you survive this little encounter?" He asked amusedly with Nami smirking in amusement. "You bet I do! Now get ready !" Nami warned and with a shout extended her arm forward with the marines bracing themselves and Eric standing there calmly while watching one smile still in place as everyone waited for what ever power Nami now had to appear.

Only for nothing to happen.

Nami stood there smirk still place but now a light sweat covering her body. "I said get ready!" She repated before jerking her hand forward several times, only for nothing to happen again. By this point Nami was pale, covered in sweat and had a terrified smile on her face with a single thought on her mind.

'That bastard tricked me!' She thought to herself furious at the fruit vender for false advertising. A chuckle from Eric however drew her attention back to him with Eric speaking when he noticed this. "Let me guess, you're probably thinking this is some kind of trick and who ever gave you this lied to you right?" He guessed with Nami's eyes widening. "I'll take that as a yes>" He contrived. "Well I tell you this much. This fruit is very much the real thing." Eric admitted. "The problem however is that you immediately thought it could save you when you didn't even know which one it was or what it did. " Eric said with a shake of his head. "A sad thing really, most common reason new devil fruit eaters die so soon after eating them."

"Now then men. Things have changed, and seeing as we don't know exactly what this woman can do, it's best if we just eliminate her right here and now." Eric declared causing dread to flare up in Nami her legs starting to wobble especially as the marines brought out their guns and got into firing position. Eric smirked as he raised his arm seeing Nami's legs give out causing her to collapse. "Ready, aim." He ordered seeing the orange haired girl close her eyes and brace herself the best she could.

"Fire."

Gun fired filled the air and Nami flinched multiple times as she heard each one, all the while praying she would somehow make it out of this. However after a few seconds the fear and panic left her body replaced with confusion as she realized she wasn't in any pain, she doesn't even think she was hit once. The confusion only increased when she heard multiple thuds and shouts of panic and alarm with Eric screaming for his men to calm down.

Slowly Nami opened her eyes, to see to her shock several men with guns surrounding her and facing the marines gun barrels smoking as they were pointed forwards where several marines were laying face down in their blood. "You alright?" A deep voice asked from her left causing her to turn and see a giant of a man looking down on her, a beautifully crafted hammer as big as her on his back. He had long spiky hair that reached the back of his neck and piercing grey eyes with his body covered in tattoos and scars.

Hesitantly she took his hand as he helped her up. "Y-yeah I'm fine, and sorry but who are you, and why are you helping me?" Nami asked hesitantly, not wanting to sound rude to the people who saved her.

The answer didn't come from the man however but Eric who quirked an eyebrow. "Now this is a surprise, Captain Jacob Barbossa of the Black Hammer Pirates, originally from the North blue and worth 44,000,000 million if I'm correct." Eric introduced the man now named as Jacob nodded before facing Nami again. "Like swirly over there said I'm the captain of the Black Hammer Pirates. and as for why we saved you well, when it comes to facing the marines pirates need to stick together. Especially when it comes to protecting our best chance at victory. Jacob explained his reasoning with Nami smiling at the first part but growing confused at the second.

Seeing the look Jacob just sighed. "look my guys saw you win that devil fruit and judging from the bite taken out of it it's obviously you've eaten it." He said gesturing to the fruit that was laying a few feet away. "So we know you've got some kind of ability and I believe when it comes to a power user, it's best to use another power user." Jacob revealed before raising his hand to stop her protest. "Even if that power user only got it a few seconds ago." Here the pirate captain looked her directly in the eye. "If me and my men can hold them off long enough can you figure out your powers and beat that vizor wearing bastard?"

Nami looked shaken before slowly turning, seeing that both pirates and marines were at a stand off, just waiting for the other side to make a move, even as fire and screams still surrounded them. Closing her eyes and clenching her fist tightly Nami had a single thought in her mind. 'I don't have to run away anymore, I can actually be useful to my crew now, and it all starts here.' Opening her eyes she looked up to Jacob and nodded. "I can." She declared with a smile erupting on the captain's and his crew's faces.

"Well you heard her guys." Jacob said turning to face the marines with his hammer in hand. "Let's show these bastards what the Black Hammer pirates can do!" Jacob roared with his crew soon joining in as the charged, swords and guns raised to meet the marines who shouted a war cry of their own as they meet the oncoming pirates with Jacob facing Eric personally.

Nami watched the two groups fight and kill each other for a moment in shock before she was able to shake off those nerves and focus on the task at hand. 'Okay, okay what should I try?' Nami thought frantically as she tried to come up with any kind of idea. She even thought about her crew mates and how they used their powers. 'They all used them so easily, as if it is second nature to them. I mean it probably is but they act like their powers are a natural part of them, they can draw on whenever they want.' Nami thought frantically trying before her eyes widened. 'A natural part of me? Could that be it?' She thought.

Taking a deep breath she closed her eyes, and focused on every part of her, trying to act like she was doing something she could be doing all her life, and what she was doing was something that came natural to her.

And that's when it happened.

A light emerged from the palm of her hand that almost blinded the pirates and marines alike as Jacob grinned while Nami stared in awe. 'This, this is my power.' Nami thought as she slowly moved it around in her hand. 'It's beautiful, but what can it do?' Nami thought staring at the little glowing orb. As she finished that though she was shocked when when the orb left her hand and flew into the fire she was standing next to with everyone watching either eager or dreading what came next.

and They weren't disspaointed as once the sphere entered the fire it seemed to become possessed, raising high into the air in a cyclone of fire as every flame around them seemed to be attracted to the storm until it was the size of a large tower. What truly terrified everyone though was the face that seemed to form on the tower, a menacing face not unlike a demon smiling down on its next meal. Eric clicked his tongue with a light seat rolling down his face, he had a few cuts and bruises from his battle with Jacob while the pirate captain in question laughed despite the multiple bloody wounds that he had received while glancing towards the mercenary in question.

"You know you can back out and retreat any time you want." Jacob suggested in an innocent tone getting him another cut across the torso from Eric, who started to walk over to Nami while ignoring Jacob who despite his injuries was laughing at seeing the smug merc start to lose his cool.

Eric seeing that Nami was still staring at the face in the fire and didn't notice he was coming grinned before launching another slash attack at the girl to land a hit on her back and if not kill her at least hurt her. Unfortunately for him someone did notice and  just as the attack was about to land a wall of fire intercepted the attack complete blocking the navigator from harm. Nami had turned just and time to see this but had on time to react.

"Are you alright my queen?" A voice said from behind her causing her to jump and slowly turn around to see the face looking down at her however unlike before it now had a look of concern on its face. "My queen?" The fire spoke again knocked her out of her stupor and quickly give a nod. "Yup I'm fine! Perfectly fine actually! 100%" She quickly said getting the fire's equivalent of a nod of relief and understanding. "But uhm." Nami started this time looking at the fire hesitantly. "Why are you calling me your queen?" Nami asked. "Because you are my creator and therefore my queen." The fire answered stunning Nami for a moment before a happy grin appeared on her face.

"That's right! I am your queen!" She said happily "And as your queen I must know... Do you have any cuter forms you can turn into?" She finished trying to act cute with both pirates and marines and even Eric face valuing at the question. The fire didn't even blink. "Of course my queen." With that the fire started to compress and shrink until it was  now it was 7'10 and shaped like a sun with miniature suns orbiting it. "Much better!" Nami cheered clapping her hands together in happiness with the sun grinning proud it made its queen so happy.

It was at this point Eric decided to move again, this time going for a direct attack ready to tear out the orange haired girl's throat with his sharpened finger nails, unfortunately for him he didn't make it more then five steps before a plum of fire washed over him, with the marines watching in horror, the pirates watching in caution and Nami mortified at seeing someone being burned alive.

Something that was justified when the fire had cleared and all that was left was a smoldering, burnt corpse.The pirates seeing the corpse let out a cheer, happy that the worst threat was done for good while Nami could only look on in disbelief. 'How can they be so happy about someone's death?' She thought and could help but be disgusted by their behavior. 'And just how are they supposed to act when dealing with someone who was trying to kill them?' A small voice in the back of Nami's head asked, and Nami could see where it was coming from.

Eric had been talking about killing everyone on the island so casually, and for what a little fame and recognition. True he might have also been able to get his hands on the money that everyone had brought here on their ships something Nami could admit sounds tempting, but even money isn't worth the death of so many innocent people.

'Besides, if we're going to the grand line, there killing and death is going to become a calm thing, both seeing it, and dealing with it.' Nami reminded herself, something Izuku brought up when they first started, and even though he seemed a little pale and very reluctant, he did say it was something that would be impossible to avoid. 'That doesn't mean I have to like it thought.' She thought with sadness in her eyes before they widened in alarm as she saw two marines shaking in both fear and rage sneak up behind Jacob ready to cut him down.

Without thinking she raced forward in order to help, with the two marines noticing her approaching and stopped in their tracks, frozen in fear. What everyone who know noticed this going on found strange was that a light-colored substance floating off them. "Not slowing down in the least and figuring it had to do with her new power Nami jumped in the air flying over the pirate captain and tow marines grabbed the substance from each of them and pulled them off the marines and into her. Nami's eyes widened as she felt the substance enter her body. '60 years and 74 years.' She thought the numbers coming to her from nowhere as she stared down at the two marines laying unmoving on the floor.

By this point, the marines had started backing up slowly the same substance that was coming off the first two marines was now coming off them in droves. It only got worse when a building was smashed to pieces and from the wreckage came Hawkins, Bonney and Killer. Upon seeing them the marines simply ran for it, not bothering trying to keep up with appearances anymore and simply fled for the coast.

Bonney seeing this, Eric's charred body and the living sun around Nami smirked and placed her hands on her hips. "Well I see you've got things handled here." She stated with Nami matching the cook's grin with one of her own. However before anything else could be said or introductions between the Devil Kings and Black Hammers could be made, multiple explosions from the coast occurred, catching everyone's attention.

"Perhaps we should save the pleasantries for later. Our crew might need our help." Hawkins suggested knowing Izuku, Kid and Law were probably still at the port. Everyone seemed to be in agreement as both pirate crews headed for the coast ready to help in the next battle.

Line break.

"There's no end to these flies." Kid growled as He, Law and a large group of pirates fought a seeming unending horde of marines while trying to defend themselves from a barrage of cannon fire from the fleet on the marines ships, admittedly the second part was simplified thanks to the two Devil Kings' devil fruit abilities and the fact that they were just standard transport ships. Still it was a pain for Kid and Law to handle not only cannonballs, other marines but also the different pirate crews that were trying to get in each others way.

"Yeah well, that's what the captain's trying to take care of right?" Law shot back, remembering how Izuku told them to keep the marines busy while he snuck the fleet of ships and everyone on board. Kid just tsk'ed. "Yeah well whatever he's planning I hope he pulls it off soon." The red head muttered while smashing another group with his Golem Arm as Law cut more soldiers down with his sword not wanting to make a mistake with his devil fruit in all of the confusion.

However the fighting at the coast unexpected came to a stop however when a massive amount of mist rolled in out of no where, unnerving both sides with both believing this was an attack from the other. "What the hell is this." Kid muttered as he scowled in confusion trying to understand this new development. "Could be the captain's plan." Law suggested with the pirates around looking hopeful and the marines tensed. The mist continued to spread until it fully covered the ships.

That's when the fun (depending on who you asked) begun.

It all started with a commotion a little bit away from Kid and Law, with marines shouting at each other with their attention now squarely on the cause of the commotion rather than the pirates. "Hey, what the hell are you doing!?" A voice a few feet from them screamed and turning all the pirates gathered watched with stunned eyes as a large marine cutting down his smaller comrades, while the marine in question seemed to be fighting against something. "I..I can't control.. my hand, stay away from me." He ordered while grabbing his left hand with his right one. The most unusual thing however was that their was a large hole clean through the marines left hand with the mist entering it.

Bang

Bang

Bang

Gunfire rang through the air as Marines clutched different parts of their body with the each one of them hit or not starting to panic. The panic turned to full blown terror when the mist started entered their  wounds from the gun fire or the fighting before hand  cleaning them out and enlarging them until they was the same size and shape as the one on the large marine's hand. It didn't get any better from there as the marines seemed to become possessed, being thrown up in the air, crashing into each other, being forced to fight each other and so on.

It was at that time Izuku reappeared having used Shave to appear from from where ever he was working from earlier. "Yo, Midoriya." Kid greeted as he and law ran over both with grins on their faces as they were watching the marines being thrown around and humiliated with great amusement. "How the hell are you doing this man? I mean it's awesome, but still." Kid had to ask with Izuku just smirking. "Simple Eustass, since these marines deemed it fit to throw away their sense of justice, I decided to show them my Justice." Izuku explained while pointing up into the sky with Kid and Law looking up and their eyes widened at just what they were seeing.

This was the power of the Stand-Stand Fruit more specially the Justice Stand. "Well whatever the hell that thing is, it's working." Law said seeing the morale of the marines completely shattered and only getting worse as pirates where quick to cut down the remaining marines with glee. Izuku watched with no emotion before turning his head with a sigh, now was not the time to think about that, not when there was still a job to do.

"Alright listen up." Izuku spoke loudly getting not only his crew but everyone's attention focused on him. "Now that the ground forces are gone, we just need to get rid of these ships, I got a way to do it but I could use some help to do it. Now then are there any snipers or gunmen here?" He questioned with several pirates nodding stepping forward. "Right, your job is simple I just need you to shot the marines on the ships, it doesn't have to be fatal it just has to give them a wound. Can you do that?" He asked his own arm becoming a sniper rife as he looked looked at the snipers who looked unsure for a second before they turned to their own crews and captains who gave them a simple nod, inspiring the snipers and giving them the determination to try and help their own crews.

Satisfied Izuku turned to The ships while the snipers got into position either standing or crouching. "Ready." Izuku said raising his own sniper gun arm as the others braced themselves. "Aim" Here he activated the Glare-Glare Fruit and set his sights directly on Nelson a man he recognized through both Luffy's and Eric's memories and aimed directly for his pudgy cheeks, as the other snipers aiming for their own targets around the fleet.

"Fire."

The sound of gunfire was heard all around the coast as bullets were shot clear across the distance, some hitting, others missing. The ones that hit were also varied, some only grazed the marines others hit dead center where the shooter wanted them to, with even a few lucky shots going right through the head killing them instantly. Izuku himself was able to land two well placed shots on Nelson's cheeks causing them to explode into puddles of blood with the obese man crying out in pain as he clutched his cheeks with his hands blood flowing pouring down from between his fingers.

That was the least of his worries though as within seconds the mist cleared out the blood and grabbed hold of him, his weight meaning to it except for the trenches he dug into the ship when it dragged him through the ship, with his crew being unable to help him having no time to help him. Finally the mist seemed to have enough and decided to simply throw him over board the man sinking into the sea, before he could even utter another word.

Back on the deck of the ship things weren't getting any better as the marines had to deal with, their comrades both living and dead attacking them and adding them to the ranks of the controlling mist. A lieutenant who was fighting for his live was breathing heavy. Make sure he didn't kill any off his comrades that weren't dead already. "Sir, we got trouble!" a new recruit shouts d having run up to the now in charge lieutenant who glared back at the man. "No sit, private! Now get back to work or I'll-!" He was cut off when the sound of a cannon ball whizzing throw the air could be heard before an explosion hit the ship rocking back and forth.

"That's what I was trying to tell you sir!" The private said desperately. "An entire fleet of pirate ships have entered out of the mist!" The man said with the lieutenant looking around in horror as the fleet surrounded them having already destroyed the rest of the marines fleet. Frantic he turned to the young officer while both men did their best to avoid the cannon fire that was now raining down on their ship. "Gather up everyone you can, and return fire!" The lieutenant ordered. "We may be going down but I'll be damned if we don't take a few of these bastards with us!" He screamed with the private scrambling to obey before disappearing below deck. The lieutenant then turned his attention back to the now dead and fully controlled corpses of the marines.

"Alright you undead monsters, you want a fight you've got one!" The man roared ready to fight until his last breath.

Line break.

Back at the coast the pirates were celebrating as they watched the marines fire and destroy each other. The marines being under Justice's Illusion ability, causing them to see their own allies as enemies and fire on them without mercy. Law and Kid while not joining in the celebration did smirk as they watched the marines destroy each other, however those smirks changed to frowns of concern as they glanced over to their young captain who was watching the massacre with unblinking eyes.

"Hey Trafalgar." Kid said getting Law's attention. "Do you think this could be the first time the captain's ever...?" He trailed off with Law finishing his statement for him. "Killed someone? Yeah, I think so." Law saw and both continued to watch, both knew that in piracy killing was a must and they even enjoyed it to a certain degree Kid certainly more so, but both could tell Izuku didn't share that statement. Despite that though, they did feel happy and a bit of pride that he was willing to put his morals to the side when it came what was needed for the betterment of the crew and fellow pirates.

A sigh from Izuku got their attention as Izuku turned and walked towards them a tired but revolved look in his eyes. "You alright boss?" Law asked with a raised eyebrow concerned about the captain's mental state. To his relief the younger man nodded with another sigh. "I'm fine though I could go for 12 hour nap right about now." He joked getting small chuckles from the other Devil Kings.

"Come on, let's go find Killer and the others." Kid suggested with the other 2 nodding wanting to know how the rest of the crew was doing. "There's no need for that." A calm male voiced spoke as Hawkins and the rest of the Devil Kings along with the Black Hammers approached them. However what Izuku's, Kid's and Law's eyes were drawn to was the sun hovering around Nami. 'Is that Prometheus?' Izuku asked shocked at seeing the sun homie there.

"Hey guys." Nami greeted a bit sheepishly as she saw the boys staring at the new sun. "Seems like you guys have been through a lot." She said as the three deadpanned her. "Yeah, looks like we could say the same about you." Kid muttered staring not only at the sun but at the pirate crew behind them. "How about you go first?"

As the two groups swapped stories they didn't know they were being observed by two sets of eyes, completely unaware of each other. One set had amusement, and intrigue while the other had disturbing curiosity and animalistic bloodlust.

Line break.

"Are we really leaving before the festival is over? The place is practically empty since yesterday?" Bonney asked as she along with the rest of the crew loaded up the Charon with supplies as they prepared to set sail. "It's for the best, the news of this attack will reach the higher ups of the marines soon and this island will be crawling with them before long." Nami said laying down the box she had been carrying. "We would have been out of here last night, but it would have been a nightmare navigating not only the other ships but the debris from the sunken navy ships." Nami explained dusting off her hands.

"Good point." Bonney shrugged. "Still, it's a shame that Jacob had to leave in a hurry. His crew actually seemed decent." Bonney recalled Jacob being one of the first crews to leave after saying good bye and exchanging den den mushi numbers. Nami nodded in agreement before turning her attention to her sun that approached the ship another couple boxes on his head. "Thanks Ama!" Nami thanked her homie.

After everything had staled down yesterday Izuku took Nami aside and explained to her what her new power was. Turns out she ate the Soul-Soul Fruit, a fruit that was supposed to have been eaten long enough by the emperor Big Mom. Izuku then went on to describe all the mechanics of the fruits and how it works, the differences between the different kind of homies and what the limits were.

After hearing all that Nami was excited, but managed to control herself knowing that creating an army of servants would require a lot of soul power so until she could get more, she'd have to spend it wisely. In the mean time Nami decided to name her sun homie Ama, a cute nickname for Amaterasu, a sun goddess.

Ama just grinned happy at its queen happy to continue to please her. That's when Izuku, Law and Killer came out of the lower decks of the ship, making sure they were stocked up on everything they needed. "Hey girls, is that the last of it?" Izuku asked seeing the two women of the crew return from their grocery food run with the two women nodding as Izuku created clones in order to take it to where Bonney wanted it.

"So now all we're waiting on is Basil and Eustass." Law muttered while sitting on the side of the ship before spotting something causing him to squint, before his eyes widened a fraction and he let out a sigh. "Never mind they're here." He said before staring at where the duo was approaching from. "And they brought a friend." He deadpanned causing Killer and Izuku to grow curious, which grew after they saw Kid stomp onto the deck a scowl firmly in place. "Before you start, I just wanted to say this wasn't my idea." The red head muttered before going to stand next to his childhood friend who had a confused look on his face.

Before they could question him though more footsteps could be heard as Basil Hawkins walked up with this 'friend' of theirs Both had several bags in their hands . She was a beautiful woman with long legs that put her above average height. She had long, wavy, light green hair and amber eyes. She wore a green cropped tank top with the word "Happy" written in dark green on the chest and yellow cut-off pants with orange strips. 'Monet.' Izuku thought as he stared at the would be harpy with suspicion in his eyes.

"Okay, I'm just going to say it, who the hell are you?" Bonney demanded of the green haired woman who simply smiled pleasantly. "Greetings my name is Monet, and I will be traveling with you all starting to day." Here she gave a quick bow of the head. " I hope we all get along." She finished with an ironically warm hearted smile.

Grinding her teeth Bonney was quick to continue to continue her interrogation. "Oh, yeah and just who the hell invited you?" The pink haired cook questioned with Monet simply gestured towards the magician. "Why Basil did of course." She answered with everyone's eyes landing on him. Seeing this Hawkins spoke, his answer as predictable as ever. "Fate has declared allying ourselves with her would be mutually beneficial." He answered simply with Bonney scoffing.

"Sorry to say but things like this aren't his call. So how about you turn around and go back to where ever it is you came from." Bonney suggested as she went to grab the girl by the smolders only for her to be meet with snow. "A devil fruit?!" Bonney shouted in shock with Monet letting out a small giggle. "Oh people reactions are always so amusing." She laughed. "Yes indeed I'm a power user the Snow-Snow fruit in fact." The green haired woman revealed before looking towards Izuku. "What do you say captain, Am I allowed to join?" She asked with Izuku looking at her with a unreadable look.

"Why?" He asked at last. "Why do you want to join this crew?" That was the million Berri question and it seemed to be the right on as Monet's smile became a little bit more honest and genuine. "My sister Sugar, I was separated from her years ago when we were only kids, and have been searching the 4 blues for her. Sigh, but I've come to realize she's probably already left for the grand line, it's a dream we always talked about." Monet finished her story and looked straight at the crew. "I know my sister is in the grand line some where, and this crew is my best shot to find her."

"It's a pretty good deal you have to admit, I get a strong enough crew to help me look for my sister and your crew gets their hands on a logia power user." Monet reasoned with the crew thinking over the offer. "Well captain what do you think?" Law asked knowing final say went to him. Izuku just sighed and massaged his temples. "Welcome aboard." He said getting gasp from Nami and Bonney to look at each other unsure, Kid to scowl in annoyance, Killer and Hawkins to nod and Law to grin seeing the annoyed faces on their faces.

Monet just smiled cheerfully. "Thank you captain, I'm eternally grateful." She thanked him before turning two the other two woman of the crew. "Could you show me to where we will be staying? I've got a lot of unpacking to do." Monet requested with the tow just glaring suspiciously at her, the events of the previous day still having that slightly on guard.

Seeing this Izuku couldn't hold in his groan. "Just do it." He told them who reluctantly did as they where asked grumbling under their breaths as they did so as Monet grin more and more as she followed them growing more amused as the more she heard.

When the woman disappeared into their cabin the rest of the crew let out a collective groan a single thought shared between them.

'It's to early for this shit.'

Line break

"Nami are we all ready to go?" Izuku asked from the deck of the ship Nami a few steps behind him with a grin on her face nodded as the entire crew was now on the deck, having moved Monet very quickly. "We're a set captain, just give the word." Nami told him causing Izuku to nod as he faced his crew. "Alright everyone, I think it's about time we left for the Grand Line! The east blue has treated us well, but know it's time we move on to greater things. Sound good everyone?" He asked with smirk getting smirks and cheers in return.

"Well then everyone, Set sail!" Izuku shouted getting a shout in return as they pulled the anchor up and the Charon set sail on route to the Grand Line.

In their excitement they never noticed a boat following behind them, shaped like coffin, with candles burning a haunting green color, it was also small only able to fit the single passenger it currently had and the black blade on their back as they followed the Devil King pirates at a distance. All the while keeping Izuku in sight.

To be continued

At last the next chapter is here and boy did a lot happened.

First thing first, Nami gained the power of the Soul-Soul fruit. This was honestly a last minute change as I had originally planned to give her a mythical zoan, but considering how I'm over hauling the Yonko, their crews and their powers I figured why not just give it to Nami instead of letting it go to waste. And if anyone's wondering Big Mom got her new devil fruit the same way she did in cannon. Also does anyone have any ideas for a physical weapon for Nami, I'm personally thinking a spear.

Next Izuku and Nami starting to kill. Yeah there was no way to avoid it. One Piece was harsh enough world already, and know that im trying to make it more so, Killing will be necessary to survive.

And yeah I hope everyone enjoyed the appearance of my favorite stand of all time Justice. I just love everything about it. It's appearance, it's powers and the horror aspect that revolved around the two episodes it feature in. And believe me this isn't the last time we're going to see it.

Finally Monet entering the crew. I didn't see the harm of adding her this early, and just to put it into context she and sugar got separated before they meet Doflamingo or sugar ate her fruit.

Anyway next chapter should hopefully be from the 2nd movie to loguetown to a little surprise at the very end, with a couple of surprises thrown in for good measure.

That's all for now. Till next time
Bye
