A lot happened

Sabo, Kuina and I were currently relaxing on the deck of the pirate ship we took over. Quite a few things happened over the last 2 weeks.

First we saw or rather I sensed Bogard in Hayato's house so fearing that grandpa might be there searching for us we fled. I used geppo while carrying Sabo and Kuina since their ship might be in the bay, from which Sabo and I entered the island. Meaning we had to leave our boat behind.

Deciding to leave in the direction of the Oykot Kingdom where a lot of pirates can be found we departed immediately without saying goodbye to Hayato's family.

After a few days of traveling using geppo and me carrying my two crewmates, we found a pirate ship near Oykot Kingdom and took it over just to realize a noble's daughter was being held captive on this ship.

My first thought was to just drop her off somewhere and take it easy for a few days but the former captain of the ship told me about the deal he made with her father.

50.000.000 it was. After thinking about it, there was no reason not to take money since she was already kidnapped and the ransom was agreed upon. Sabo and me had no problem with it. Sadly it didn't go the way We wanted it to.

Her father didn't prepare money but soldiers that greeted us once we stepped on the island where the exchange was supposed to happen.

That wasn't much of a problem for me, so I just knocked them out with conqueror's haki but he seems to have told the navy about this since soon 10 navy war ships appeared before we could leave.

The ship in the lead I recognized as Nelson Royale's thanks to the huge golden decorations. We got surrounded and had to fight. In the end Sabo beat Eric the whirlwind in a close battle thanks to being able to sense his wind attacks and Kuina battled a horde of marines on her own. The other ships I cut in two and sunk them, practically crippling the battle power of the 8th branch for years to come.

"Jackson-nii what are you thinking about so focused."

"About how we got our bounties of course."

"Hahahaha! We did them quite good don't you think Jackson-nii?"

"And what's so funny about this?! I acted in self defense you know! God it hasn't even been two weeks since I left home and already got a bounty what will my dad think about this?!"

"Kuina you… did you get a hit to the head? What self defense? You are a pirate now, just what did you expect them to do? Not to mention that a kidnapped nobles daughter was with us…"

'Nice one Sabo!'

"He is right. Or could it be it's because your bounty is the lowest?"

I teased her.

"FUCK YOU! I would have been perfectly fine, becoming the best swordsman without having any bounty on my head!"

"But where is the fun in that. As part of my crew it was just a question of time before you got one anyways so…"

I was interrupted by her attempt to hit me but Sabo stopped her.

'HA!! Bros before Hoes!'

Anyways since we defeated a fleet and sunk 8 out of ten of their ships, immobilized a small army of 5000 soldiers and 'kidnapped' a noble's daughter to blackmail him our bounty ended up to be quite high… even though it wasn't us who kidnapped the girl.

"Calm down Kuina no need to feel bitter about it. It's not a bad start."

"Can't you shut up?!"

"C-captain? Can we perha…"

"Don't call me captain. Last time I checked I had only three members."

"Ah sorry… ahm about that, could I perhaps join you guys? Please?"

"No."

"No way."

"Why in the world?"

'Poor ex-captain of this ship. He's looking as if his confession just got turned down. *Sigh* it's hard to be so popular.'

"Jackson-nii, you are making a strange face… please stop that."

'…'

What the ex-captain actually tried to say was that we soon would have to stop and refill whatever was about to become used up.

'Let's call him henchman 1, hm1 for short.'

"Anyway Jackson-nii, what do you think will Ace and Luffy say once they see our bounties?"

"How would I know. I'm just happy that it's to late for grandpa to do anything about us now."

I answered with a huge grin, at least as wide as his. Only Kuina felt depressed but honestly she should have seen this coming from a mile away.

"But why maniac of all things. I wanted to be called the sword saint. Hic"

Mumbling something inaudible she went into a corner and continued to be depressed silently.

'Some people just can't be happy about what they have. But considering our bounties maybe it's about time to leave East blue and search for a few new crew members somewhere else…'

Our bounties were as following:

'Sword maniac Kuina. Took down a huge number of marine soldiers with a sword. Participated in the kidnapping of a noble's daughter and blackmailing of said noble. Bounty: 5.000.000B'

'Violent demon Sabo. Took down a huge number of marines and Eric the whirlwind, a devil fruit user. Gravely injured Nalson Royale, 8th branches commander. Participated in the kidnapping of a noble's daughter and blackmailing of said noble. Bounty: 20.000.000B'

'Jackson the Goliath. Suspected to have planned and led the kidnapping of a noble's daughter and blackmailing of said noble. Overwhelmed a massive number of said noble's soldiers and marines. Defeated a navy fleet of ten ships and sinking 9 out of it. Suspected to be the captain of 'sword maniac Kuina' and 'violent demon Sabo'. Bounty: 50.000.000B

(AN: Hey, today I have read the last chapter(22) and I really grieved. Don't know what I was thinking but because the chapter was to short after fleeing from Garp I just stuffed some things I planned for the next 3-5 chapters and I did it in an embarrassingly stupid way. Rushing down my future plans with barely any explaining. Really wanted to bash my head. So today I was thinking about taking it down and rewriting it but decided against it. I will leave it as a reminder to not rush things and to keep a clear and well rested mind when writing. After all I'm still learning. As for the story I'll try to end their stay in east blue since most of my plans I ruined myself. Thx for reading my ff and like always I hope you will still enjoy it.)
