Shells Town
10 Years Later…. Shells Town, East Blue
Drifting on a small boat a young man with black hair and grey highlights was sprawled out looking bored. Looking up he noticed he was coming close to an island and stood straight up tidying up his image. 'Time to show how beautifully handsome I am to these wonderful people.' The young man thought looking at the bustling town. Stepping onto the town's dock the young man closed his eyes and smiled ever so charmingly, making a grand gesture with his hands symbolizing his great arrival.
"Yes, yes. Thank you for the outstanding silence you have graced me for my arrival, but please you may cheer for me." The young man announced.
SILENCE….
Feeling a bit confused and slightly embarrassed that no one was making any noise, he opened his eyes to expect a crowd of people only to see no one near his vicinity. 'The hell?' the young man thought, 'There was just people here…don't tell me I shamed them from my beauty?' Looking around he spotted a young child running through the streets heading towards a marine building.
Quickly catching up to the child he asked charmingly, "Excuse me my dear but where are you running off to so quickly?" wondering to himself, 'And why was I not invited?'
The child with her brown hair tied back into pony tails looked towards the man with her big black eyes full of worry urgently said, "Please you have to help me, some nice people are going to get themselves killed because of me!"
The young man's storm grey eyes suddenly hardened and looked at the young girl and smiled warmingly, "Of course, I will do my utmost to ensure that your friends will live."
"Thank you, mister." The young lady said sniffing. The young man smiled and moved quickly towards the marine base only hear a loud crash originating from the base and moved quicker.
----------------
Inside the marine base on the execution grounds you could see a pink haired boy with glasses trying to untie the ropes holding a man with green hair wearing three gold sword-like earrings on the side of his ear and a black bandana over his head.
"You need to escape, Zoro-san." warned the kid while trying to undo the ropes.
"Oi, stop!" hissed Zoro, "If you do that, you'll be killed. I can do this! I only have 10 more days left."
"No Zoro-san, you will be executed tomorrow. Helmeppo never intended to keep his promise, that's why Luffy-san punched him and why he is trying to save you." The pink haired kid revealed. Zoro contemplated on the events that just occurred and thought more about Luffy, the man that wants to be the Pirate King.
"HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!" marines came out and confronted the two. "By the treason you have committed against me, the Great Axe Hand Captain Morgan. You will both be executed right here."
Zoro and Coby were struck with both rage and fear.
"You guys have done some interesting things. Do you and the guy with the straw hat intend to start a revolution?" Captain Morgan questioned.
"They might not, but I intend to." A voice came out of nowhere startling both parties. Walking in between both parties was a man that was so handsome that Zoro himself could not a flaw within his perfect smile and face.
Captain Morgan narrowed his eyes, "You…. pretty boy? You can't even hope to try and defeat me, The Great Axe Hand Morgan!" he sneered. "Men take aim!"
The pretty boy walked right up to the Marine Captain ignoring all the rifles pointed at him, completely relaxed and stated, "You my friend I would not even fight because of your horrendous appearance." Everybody was stunned at the pretty boy's ridiculous reason to fight, "Look at yourself terrible choice in pants, blue cameo pants in this environment? Terrible. Your jacket with one sleeve ripped off? Its like saying you have only half a brain. And your axe hand, don't even let me get star-."
The pretty boy was interrupted when Captain Morgan backhanded him in the face, sending him flying and crashing on the side walls.
"HAHAHAHAHHAHA!! That guy was funny!" No one even noticed when the guy with the straw hat appeared laughing and rolling on the ground.
"Luffy!" Zoro exclaimed.
"Yo Zoro, that guy was funny right? We should get him to join our crew." Zoro's jaw dropped speechless at the ridiculous events happening. "Oh, right which sword is yours I grabbed-."
"FIRE!!"
The marines opened fire on the straw hat guy and Luffy stood there taking in all the bullets, but the bullets made his body stretch and rebound right out of his body.
"Devil fruit." Captain Morgan said in fear.
Captain Morgan was explaining the ways of devil fruit while Luffy and Zoro were talking, but everyone forgot about the body lying in the rubble off to side. The pretty boy just got up and felt his face, quickly pulled out a mirror to see that there was a mark and the makings of a bruise on his beautiful face that looked vaguely familiar.
Seeing the familiar mark on his face made something inside him snap and filled him with anger, getting up he saw the green haired man free and wielding 3 swords while the man wearing a straw hat extended his body parts fighting the marines. Spotting the large axe hand man, the pretty boy narrowed his eyes in rage and suddenly disappeared from the spot.
Appearing right next the Marine Captain, the pretty boy smashed his fist on the side of the marine's face. Sending the marine straight into the ground creating cracks where he landed. Everyone was stunned at the sudden strike and massive power of the pretty boy.
"You damned grotesque iron jaw wearing bear." The pretty boy insulted. "Look at what you did to my face!!" the pretty boy wrapped his hand around the marine captain's iron jaw, gripping it so tight that the metal started to warp. "LOOK! ITS TERRIBLE!!" He once again smashed his fist on the marine captain's face making more cracks on the ground, he was about to strike again but stopped when he heard an annoying voice.
"STOP! Straw hat, look at this!" the pretty boy turned around to see a blond wimp, called Helmeppo holding a gun towards Coby's head. "Don't you guys move or I'll shoot!"
Coby, who was trembling with fear, steeled his resolve and said, "Luffy-san, I don't want to interfere with your dream, even if I die!"
Luffy smiled and pulled his fist back, "GOMU GOMU NO…."
"WAIT STOP! I'M GONNA DO IT!"
"PISTOL!" Luffy's arm stretched and punched Helmeppo in the face knocking him out.
The pretty boy's eyes widened in surprise at seeing a devil fruit user, 'Hmm interesting', he thought. Captain Morgan got up, unnoticed by the pretty boy, and brought his axe hand down towards his head. Zoro saw this and rushed over sliced up the marine and knocking his out.
"Nice Zoro." Luffy commented and stood by Zoro and the pretty boy.
"Thank you, Captain." Zoro responded.
"They defeated Captain Morgan." The remaining marines said in disbelief. "Who are these guys?"
"If anyone still wants to fight us, come now!" Zoro declared.
The marines suddenly threw their weapons in the air and started cheering, celebrating that now they won't be under the oppression of the terrible Captain Morgan. Zoro fell back onto the ground and said he was hungry. Luffy and the pretty boy grabbed him and took him to Rika's restaurant.
----------------
After eating their fill Zoro thanked the owner for the food and asked Luffy how many there were in their crew.
"Hmm, us three." Luffy said pointing to Zoro and the pretty boy who after finished eating took out a mirror and was inspecting his flawless face.
"What?" Zoro asked. "Only 3? I thought you were going to be a Pirate King? You should have more than us 3."
"It's only you two idiots." The pretty boy corrected. "I'm not going to join a crew with weirdos."
"What? Who are you anyway, pretty boy." Zoro asked narrowing his eyes.
"The names Jere with an e cause I'm so damn pretty, in a manly way." Jere said with a charming smile and got up. "Well I should really go, got places to be you know? Being this handsome means I have to share my beautiful self with others." Zoro's eye twitched at the man's comment and thought how anyone could be so damn narcissistic and be such an idiot at the same time. Jere stopped to see a group of marines coming inside the restaurant.
"Excuse me." The lead marine said.
"Ahh, I'm sorry but autographs and pictures will be 100 Belly per person." Jere quickly told the marines, to which everyone fell over stunned at the young man's boldness to his beauty.
"No, I'm sorry but is it true that you guys are pirates?" The lead marine asked after recovering from the comment.
"Yep, those two are my crewmates." Luffy said quickly pointing to Zoro and Jere. Jere was stunned at the straw hat's idiot claims, while Zoro was snickering about Jere's position now.
"We are grateful that you saved us from Captain Morgan, but now that we know you are pirates. We must ask you to leave." The marine leader announced. Luffy agreed and resolved his relationship with Coby, hoping he can join the marines, while the stunned Jere now labeled as a pirate was being dragged by Luffy and Zoro out to the docks where their boat was.
"Well that was an experience. Everyone will hate us from now on." Zoro said lamenting, "The life of a pirate."
"Shihihihihi, Right." Luffy agreed.
"OI WHY DID YOU INCLUDE ME!" Jere demanded, very confused at the turn of events that just happened.
"Huh?" Luffy tilted his head in confusion "You are part of my crew."
"WHAT I SAID NO!" Jere rejected. "Whatever I have my own boat I'm leaving." Jere turned to see an
empty space where he docked his boat. Devasted the pretty boy got to his hands and knees coping at the fact that he just lost his boat.
"Oi, are you coming or what?" Zoro asked with a knowing smile. "Unless you want to get arrested."
"I hate all of you." Jere declared and Luffy dragged him to his boat.
"Hahahahaha!" Luffy laughed, "Now we have 3 members. ONWARDS!"
"All my clothes…..my beauty products…..gone. Kidnapping…...this is kidnapping…" Jere was curled up in the middle of the boat in fetus position ignoring his now forced crewmates.
