1 Deceit is in the Detail
Muffled moans of a green-haired woman were reverberating in the night from the only bar in town.
A Silver-haired man with red eyes, angular face with light pencil beard and a goatee to go with his defined features and lean muscular body was pumping his hard eight-inch length in the pussy of Makino, the Barmaid and owner of the said bar in the foosha village.
He leaned down and smashed his lips with the trembling lips of Makino who seems to be near her orgasm and with a few more pumps, he came in her pussy, while giving her the third orgasm of the night.
Raizel Phantasm, an aristocratic noble from Mars was enjoying the mother figure of Luffy as she cuddled in his chest after their sensual love-making.
He was born on Mars after his family had moved from a post-apocalyptic earth with other wealthy and ancient noble families who had funded the terraforming of Mars.
Billions of people either died on earth or were left to survive like savages after the resources became scarce and the polluted air and water bodies could take no more.
Raizel's father was a cosmologist and he was working on some device which could find any alien life in the multiverse while Raizel was his father's assistant.
He was a 20-year-old with a good height of 6'1", and because he was never a part of the earth, his curiosity for the blue planet made him read or watch anything that was produced on earth whenever he was not helping his father or fucking his mother.
His father was always busy with his experiments which left his mother alone for most of the times and one day when he was learning about sexuality, his mother introduced him to a new world of euphoria.
But suddenly one day, everything changed.
Earth was destroyed and soon the debris reached mars and engulfed the red planet too. In the destruction, his entire family consisting of his mother, father and aunt along with the slaves died and soon after, he was hit with an e.m.p blast which came from the machine he and his father were developing and with a daze, he arrived here, in the world of One Piece which he hates so much.
He always hated the character of Luffy as he was so naive. Like how can you be a Pirate King when all your battles are won by fluke and you are so incredibly dense that you cannot even sense what the other person is feeling or what should be said and what should be not in a sensitive situation.
There is a line between Ignorance, Innocence and Moronic and he was sure that Luffy was moronic. There was no character development of Luffy in over a thousand chapters to speak of in which he continued to be ignorant and annoying without growing up mentally.
He didn't even know about the inherent nature of pirates of how they loot, plunder, rape, murder, etc and he wanted to rule over them.
What a fucking joke, Raizel thought.
But well, Raizel quickly composed himself and started to accept the reality.
"Well, First I need to get stronger, as even the scum of such a dirty world can kill me with a sneeze" he mused as he looked around the island he was ungracefully flung to.
It had a small jungle, from where he could hear the roars of some animals.
A long ravine stretched by the side of it and a path which lead to a small village.
Looking at the signpost, he sighed as he saw the name of the village. It was Foosha Village.
"Well, Let's see what we can do."
.
.
.
And Now, After 2 days of going around asking questions, and flirting with half a dozen of women, he was bedding Makino.
He got to know that Luffy was still a kid and recently a kid named Ace arrived in the village with the Marine Hero Garp.
'Welp, I do need to learn Haki and Marine Rokushiki to get stronger but how will I convince the old man? Hmm….oh yeah! Chapter 14 in 'The Human Mind', Title, Guilt and Manipulation.
That should do the trick.'
After thinking that much, he let himself doze off in the scent of Makino's hair.
.
.
.
Early in the Morning, Makino was taking a bath when suddenly the bathroom's door became ajar and in came Raizel.
"Good Morning, Beautiful" He said sweetly as he gave her a peck on the lips and felt her smile through the kiss.
"Good Morning, Handsome" replied Makino as she wrapped her arms around the man who somehow made a place in her heart in just a matter of 2 days.
Her bare chest pressing against Raizel's hard chest made her hot and bothered, and Raizel, with a knowing smirk, raised her right leg and rammed his dick in her already wet vagina once again.
.
.
Makino wore a yellow kerchief, an orange blouse with black sleeves and a long light blue skirt and orange sneakers with white soles after making love to Raizel in the Bath and with a cheerful mood, skidded out of the back room of the Bar and went towards the door to open it for the day.
Her first customer for the day was none other than Garp, who blessed the young woman and walked to the counter while laughing and joking.
"Hey Makino, What is the red mark on your neck, did a mosquito bite you or what?"
Asked Garp as he made himself comfortable on the chair and ordered a glass of ale.
"Huh..ahh, Yeah a Mosquito...A big swee- uh bad, yeah a bad mosquito bit me last night" She fumbled out in response as her face went three shades of pink.
"Who is shouting so loud?" suddenly came a voice with a deep baritone from the back of the bar counter and out came Raizel wearing a white suit, red tie, red leather shoes and silver cufflinks.
His Arrival startled Garp as he had never seen Raizel before and Raizel too never went towards the hideout of the mountain bandits where Ace and Luffy were staying.
Raizel's features and dress seemed foreign to even Garp who has just returned from New World and it made him curious.
"Who are you young man?" asked Garp in a normal voice while shifting his gaze to Makino and raising his eyebrows.
Makino was about to say something when suddenly Raizel's face contorted in rage and he lunged at Garp.
Garp can easily destroy mountains with his punch but when he saw the glistening eyes of Raizel and the way he just jumped at him, he restrained himself from raising his hand to defend.
"You! You killed my family! Why! WHY! WHY WHY!" shouted Raizel in his deep baritone as his eyes teared up and small teardrops started to fall on Garp's face who was trying to remember if he has ever seen this boy.
Makino was shocked at the sudden turn of events and couldn't even think properly when the bar doors opened and people started entering after listening to the commotion.
Looking at Raizel, who they knew came to their island a couple days ago holding Garp's collar and shouting and crying about a supposed murder of his family left them baffled.
Makino quickly came out of her stupor and went by their side and said to Raizel in a comforting tone while putting a hand on his shoulder.
"You..you must be mistaken Raizel, he is a Marine Hero. People worship him. How can he kill your family unless….." at this point, Makino's eyes went wide when a certain realization dawned on her.
"Unless your parents were pirates" completed Garp who now had a sympathetic look on his face.
"NOO! How dare you even say that! My parents were respectful merchants in the Grand Line! They were not the scum of the earth who knew nothing other than rape and murder!" wailed Raizel.
In the past couple of days, Raizel had not told Makino much about his life, he just lied to her that he was from grand line and he somehow arrived here in the east blue.
But now, listening that his parents were killed by Garp, a certain pain erupted in her heart.
"Please tell us more dear, how did they die? Uncle Garp won't kill an innocent soul."
Said Makino as she made Raizel move from the counter from where he was holding Garp's collar and made him sit on the nearby chair as she poured him a glass of water.
Garp and the others who came in the bar kept silent as Raizel drank the glass of water and with a tear-stained voice, started to speak
"We were a happy little family of three. My father was a merchant and my mother was a navigator and we used to hire some adventure groups from time to time to make trades across the grand line.
My father and mother were both devil fruit users and knew how to fight but they never taught me anything. They kept me sheltered even when I exercised with the sea stones to show them that I was ready.
But one day, everything changed when our ship was suddenly intercepted by a pirate group.
Mother and Father were instantly held captive with sea stone shackles and I was also brought in while they killed the rest of our hired mercenaries.
They wanted something from my dad and were using me as a leverage to make him talk. It was some logia type devil fruit which they were after which was sold by my father to someone recently but before anything could go further, cannonball after cannonball hailed the pirate ship and my mother and father, along with the pirate captain, were instantly crushed from the first couple of cannonballs after which the cannonballs burst and capsized the entire ship.
Most people died instantly while I survived by holding onto a wood plank and saw the horrific scene of THIS MAN, throwing cannonballs after cannonballs at the shipwreck from hundreds of meters away, not even considering that there might be hostages inside.
He just rained absolute carnage on the ship after which he left without so much as giving a second glance towards the ship.
I was stranded there for 5 days, just drifting along with the plank when a merchant ship came and rescued me.
I told them about my tragedy and by coincidence, the head merchant knew my father personally and so he helped me by feeding me and giving me clothes and after a long discussion, he dropped me here in the east blue as I was not strong enough for New World and I didn't wanted to be a burden on him."
Everyone listening to the story of Raizel had tears in their eyes while their faces held an expression of horror.
Can a human hold such power that it can break a ship while just flinging cannonball with his bare hands? Was Garp really that monstrous?
Garp, on the other hand, had a face ridden with guilt and sadness.
He was clenching his teeth as he now realized that he never paid any attention to the collateral damage in his mission to get rid of the trash which was known as pirates.
He had sunk countless ships with cannons, pebbles, or even by simple ryankyaku that he didn't even remember most of them. It was entirely possible that he had, although unknowingly but still orphaned this young man in front of him.
With a heavy heart, Garp got up from his seat and went to Raizel who was hiding his face in Makino's hair while the latter was comforting him by patting his back.
After walking up to Raizel, Garp put his hand on his trembling shoulders and said with an earnest expression
"Young Man. I am truly sorry for what happened to you, and I take full responsibility for it. I am willing to take any punishment you deem correct for the crime I committed in my ignorance."
Raizel's shoulders relaxed as he heaved a deep sigh and pulled his face away from the crook of Makino's neck.
"Just what….can I even do?" asked Raizel with a bitter laugh.
"I doubt you would kill yourself on my word and there is nothing I can think of which can even hurt a monster like you. And anyways, You at least do your duty of ridding the world from the scum which is pirate while most of the corrupt Marine just fine and exploit the citizens for no reason and plunder them in the name of law. Bloody everyone is a scum. I just wish that every bad person just dies."
People were again shocked. Are Marine actually evil? No! They can't be. But looking at Garp's face who had an expression that he understood what Raizel was saying broke their thoughts further.
Makino was looking at Garp with red eyes and gritted teeth. She respected Garp so much but now, even when she knew that Garp didn't intentionally kill Raizel's family, her anger was flaring.
Raizel, on the other hand, was thinking with a hurtful face
'Well, that was easier than I thought. Now, let's see if it actually works.'
Raizel suddenly stood up from his seat and looked at Garp in the eye with a defeated face
"You want to repent, huh? Well….then train me! I want to become someone who can protect his loved ones and rid this world of the plagues which are pirates, world nobles or even the world government and hell even some marines.
Everyone who does wrong, I want to rip them to shreds"
By the time he stopped speaking, everyone in the room drew a cold breath in.
What Raizel just said is enough for anyone with the authority to invoke a buster call! Planning to harm Word Nobles and World government? If there was any other marine in place of Garp, then the whole town would have been in flames by now.
Garp, on the other hand, understood where Raizel was coming from.
Most people knew about the atrocities of the World Nobles which were protected by the World government, and his reason for not accepting the promotion of Admiral was also related to it.
An Admiral has to escort or do the bidding of any World Noble should they ask. They had full power over the Mariejois and by proxy, over the marines and the idea of even being close to such people repulsed him.
Garp, after thinking for a minute, nodded towards Raizel and then lifted his head in the direction of the people who were standing in the bar with shocked expressions.
"What is said here should die here. Nothing should leave these four walls or believe me, even I will be hard-pressed while protecting this island."
This sentence from Garp did what it was intended for and they all nodded heavily in understanding while running out.
After most people left, the Bar only had the Mayor, Garp, Makino and Raizel.
"I think we should go for a walk and discuss something, Kid"
Said Garp in a serious tone which instantly gave Makino a bad feeling. She quickly tried to hold Raizel but he stood up and started to walk out of the bar before giving Makino a reassuring look and soon Garp followed him out.
