Chapter 5
3 years later...
I was looking excitedly to a certain bounty poster.
The captain of Sabo Pirates.
My promised brothers Sabo and Ace both turned 17 so they should start on their adventure.
I thought Sabo would be a pirate already.
It seems that he wanted to start
Sabo's first bounty is 56.000.000 Belly.
I wonder what of kind of thing did he do to get such a bounty.
"This is the first time I saw a Marine looking excitedly to pirate's bounty. What's that guy to you, bastard?" said a black haired person.
"Stop it, Asuma. You make it sound like I'm in love with that person." I replied.
Kurosaki Asuma, a fellow genius like me.
Because of his sanpaku eyes, he looks intimidated the whole time.
He is ranked captain at the age of 17.
The reason for this was his strength by wielding swords and his intelligence as a tactician.
I'm 14 but my rank isn't given yet.
Since Zephyr and Gramps deemed me strong enough means that I completed my training.
"So, you aren't?" he asked mockingly.
"I am not. He is just a person I know." I answered.
"You know a pirate personally. What can we expect more of the grandson of 'Hero' Garp?"
"You can only mention Gramps and me in one sentence if there is a space of 7 words," I told.
"Acting like a spoiled child," he stated while looking away.
"Wanna find out if I really am spoiled or not?" I said to him while slamming my fist in my hand.
I suddenly felt a terrifying aura.
I gathered the courage to look behind.
Behind me stood a young white-haired lady with blue eyes, glossy skin, and a beautiful smile.
How can she look so beautiful and terrifying at the same time?
"I would advise you guys to not fight in my presence," she told us kindly.
"Yes." We answered her while bowing.
'Holy Maiden' Magdaneli Maria is a ranked captain at the age of 18.
Her title was given to her because of beauty and devil fruit.
She was a recruit at the age of 15 and has looked after me since then.
Unlike my promised big brother that went easy on me when I did pranks, she spanks me for it.
She is fearsome big sister figure.
Thinking about family makes me worry about my idiotic twin brother and my other big brother who headed on his adventure.
The Fleet Admiral stood in front of the Five Elders.
"How can I help the Five Elders?" asked the Fleet Admiral.
"We want Monkey D. Lance as an agent for CP9" stated the youngest looking elder.
"Why would you want him? He is only 14 years old." requested the Fleet Admiral.
"It's only natural to scout a 14-year-old kid who has mastered all the Six Powers." replied the oldest looking elder.
"Why are you saying this to me and not to his guardian Garp?" demanded the Fleet admiral.
"You are his superior he needs to learn to take orders and his guardian his hard to deal with." said the tall and thin-bearded man with white long hair.
"Are you sure you are making the right decision?" questioned the Fleet Admiral.
"We are sure. He can return to the Marines one he is tired of it." said the elder with a scar on the left side of his face.
"We need him close to us so we can observe him. D's are always troublesome." said the oldest looking elder.
"I see. I will order him that he will come here so you can give him further instruction." said the Fleet Admiral.
"That will do." said the elder with large birthmarks on his face.
I was called to the office of the Fleet Admiral.
Did Maria snitched me?
I was totally stiff when I was marching.
I don't think there is a reason for him-.
Wait, he has a reason.
My rank.
I wonder what my rank will be.
Instead of walking stiff, I started to skip.
I saw the Fleet Admiral standing outside his office.
I corrected my behavior and saluted to him.
"Follow me," he ordered.
I trodded behind him as we arrived in front of a huge door.
Fleet Admiral Sengoku opened the door and front of us stood 5 old men.
They looked important.
I should be polite.
"We awaited your arrival, Monkey D. Lance." said the elder with a scar on the left side of his face.
"How can I help you, elder?"
"You are recruited to join CP9. CP9, more properly known as Cipher Pol Number 9, is a secret Cipher Pol organization, formed of people able to use the Six Powers techniques. We have noticed that you can do all of them. CP9 members are centered on the assassination of anyone perceived as a threat to the world government. Will you accept our offer to join CP9?" stated the oldest looking elder.
"Can I ask the elders one question?"
"Yes." said the tall and thin-bearded man with white long hair.
"People who are a threat to the World Government are bad people, right?"
"If we use the words bad and good then yes." answered the elder with large birthmarks on his face.
"I will accept your offer, elders," I responded while bowing towards them.
I had a black suit on with a white tie, my hair neat and loose as I stopped in front of the door.
I opened the entrance and saw 8 people sitting in the room.
One of them stepped forward.
He looked like the weakest out of all of them.
"Kid, I'm your chief, Spandam. You will follow my orders."
I gave him a pitiful look.
Was he given the position of chief out of misery or is he messing with?
"GHAHAHA, Spandam you are such an idiot. The kid is already making fun of you inside his head." mocked a dark-skinned man, with a Fu Manchu beard, a pointed goatee and long hair in a thick queue, that somewhat resembles a scorpion's tail.
"Like hell, I would listen to such a wussy chief. I will only listen to the strong ones here." I said to him
"DAMN KID YOU BETTER LISTEN TO ME!" he yelled at me.
"If you keep calling me a child, I will act like one. My name is Monkey D. Lance, you better remember it."
"Tch, damn brat. Since Lucci lost by rock-paper-fist he will be your supervisor till you get all strings," said Spandam.
Lucci is a tall and slim, yet muscular man with arched eyebrows and a close-shaved goatee.
He stepped forward and looked me deep in the eyes.
"I'm Rob Lucci. Don't hold me back when I'm supervising you."
"I won't. You better remember me."
This guy is definitely the strongest.
Like hell, I would be walking behind his back the whole time.
