Commander Itachi...

Chapter 58

Title: Commander Itachi...

….

As Isuka has different emotions inside of her, the ship gets closer and closer. Until it anchors next to Zephyr's ship. 

Zephyr has a smile on his face as he sees Itachi's clones managing everything in Itachi's ship. 

'This is what makes the kid an exception to any other marine.' Thinks Zephyr with a smile on his face. 'He doesn't even have a marine crew. He is what someone calls… a one-man army… literally. And if the rumors that I have been hearing lately are true, Itachi has become quite monstrous at using his Devil Fruit.'

In the end, Zephyr greets Itachi or one of his clones… even he wasn't sure which was which. "Itachi, have you got any pirate scum with you?"

The 'Itachi' that he asked looks at him and answers by nodding his head. "Yeah, I got three pirates with bounties over fifty million. They were kinda weak but that doesn't matter now I guess."

Zephyr laughs at that. "Hahahha, Itachi, maybe you should go to the New World if you find the pirates around these parts too weak."

Itachi shrugs at this and just walks away while another Itachi comes by. "Sup, I am the original. Anyway, teacher Zephyr. I will leave these guys with you. I will go back to hunting some pirates again."

Zephyr nods at this, Itachi is always hunting pirates. Even the ones with dangerous devil fruits. "Are they devil fruit users?"

Itachi shakes his head. "Nope, if they have a devil fruit I usually kill them. They are too troublesome to capture."

Zephyr nods at this, Itachi is being logical here. Why waste time on capturing a pirate, better just kill him on the spot. They went to a life of crime, so they are trash, if they are afraid of dying then maybe they shouldn't have chosen a life of crime.

At least that is Zephyr's view on the whole thing. Being nice to pirates is not something that he believes in.

….

In the end, Itachi doesn't stay with them for long as he tells them that he is currently hunting a pirate with a bounty above one hundred million.

But as he is far away enough, he goes to Jaya island while under disguise. This is a pirate-infested town in the first half of the Grand Line… and it is also under the control of the Jaw Pirates.

Itachi is currently wearing a dark brown cloak with a sack on his back. As he walks along a certain building that seems like a bar. He enters inside and rowdy pirates are partying around. He can smell the aroma of alcohol along the tables as he just walks towards the bartender. 

As he is walking along, some of the pirates start fighting and one of them throws the other in a sumo throw. The person flies towards Itachi, who simply just walks normally and not even an inch away from him, the person flies and lands on one of the walls.

Booom!

The person is knocked out and the pirate who threw him away is basking in his temporary glory as the other drunk pirates cheer him on.

In the end, Itachi just walks and doesn't pay any attention to the person. In the end, he walks behind the counter where the bartender is wiping some glasses, the bartender has a mustache and seems around middle-aged. Strangely the bartender seems to not notice Itachi.

Itachi then enters the room with the 'Staff Only' sign, and as he goes inside. There are cooks, waiters, and other staff who always seem to be looking away as he walks through and goes towards one of the doors with no signs on it.

He opens the door and behind it are some stairs that go down leading into a dark place. Itachi walks forward with not even a sliver of caution nor worry. 

….

He walks along this way until he arrives at an underground lake. Immediately he jumps in, and as a devil fruit user, he can't swim so he starts sinking like a rock. But due to being half-fishman, he can still breathe underwater. Even as he jumps underwater he still keeps the sack clenched on his hand.

As he sinks for around thirty seconds, he can feel some giant sea kings looking at him. They seem like giant snakes, crocodiles, sharks, and many other variants of animals. Though Itachi still couldn't see the end of the sea kings surrounding him. Suddenly a shadow descends upon them all and an Island Eater fish appears. It opens its giant mouth, swallowing both Itachi and the rest of the sea kings.

Immediately the water around him floes in the Island Eater's mouth and so does he. As he flows down he can finally see the end and when he enters it. He looks around and sees that he is just floating above water while looking at the sky… or more correctly the painted on sky.

Suddenly a blue-skinned man on a boat comes next to Itachi and smiles at him. "Itachi, long time no see."

As he hears that Itachi's face morphs into a small smirk. "Kisame… your entrance was 2/10 this time."

"Wha!?!?! No way, I even had the act of the mysterious stranger all on point!" Says Kisame, bewildered by this as he pulls up Itachi and puts him on the boat.

"Your look and personality don't suit the mystery appearances at all… you are also very distinguishing looking." Explains Itachi, as he smiles a little. He and Kisame have these meetings quite often ever since he got his ship and was allowed to move around.

"Yeah, yeah… Mikoto keeps saying the same things." Says Kisame with a slightly annoyed look on his face.

"So how has dad been?" Asks Itachi as he opens his sack that he has been carrying with him. Inside the sack, there are around twenty devil fruits. Kisame just takes the sack and puts it to the side as he smiles back at Itachi.

"Well, he has been good. But as you know, whenever these meetings come around he tries to convince to make you come back. He is worried that one day you might slip up…" Explains Kisame, as he takes out some meat that he had cooked before Itachi came here. He offers half of it to Itachi, this is his way of caring for his siblings. Then Kisame continues saying. "Don't even know why dad let you go if he was gonna be this worried about it."

Itachi smiles at that fondly. "Well… this is my way of protecting my family."

Kisame frowns at that. 

"We are not weak enough to need protection like this Itachi." Says Kisame as he tries to deter Itachi from the path that he is going. 'He is my brother too… dad is not the only one who is worried about Itachi's wellbeing.'

Itachi only looks down with a content smile on his face. "This… this is my way of protecting the people that I love."

Kisame's eyes widen at this, in the end, he can only sigh at the situation. He then looks at Itachi and smiles. "Kakakakaka… Itachi, enough talk about such depressing topics. How about something else now… so did you meet any cute girl while you were in the marines?"

As Kisame asks that, Itachi's face blushes for a split second as he thinks of a certain girl. Kisame's smile turns into an ecstatic one as he notices Itachi blushing.

….

AUTHOR NOTE:

Kisame and Itachi have a good relationship as brothers. They are both two of the eldest siblings amongst their family. So they have known each other since they were young. They both also have their own ways that they want to protect their siblings.
