10 Part 10 - Lt. Dawn Has A Brother?

After discussing the news about the bounties placed on their heads and the shocking death of the Pirate King, the crew cleaned the top deck up and made sure to test and reload the cannons. It was a pretty relaxed atmosphere until Nargo realized he didn't buy any alcohol and started smashing his fist into his desk in his office.

Jimmy knocked on his door to see what the commotion was about and quickly resolved the situation by handing him three barrels worth of alcohol he had bought whilst at Lvneel.

"You fucking legend Jimmy."

"You know that's for everyone, right?" Jimmy laughed nervously.

"We're the only ones in this office, Jimmy. What do you say? Care to drink with me?"

"Usually I'd say no but after the stress you guys have caused me, I need it."

Meanwhile, Leroy was demonstrating his incredible strength by seeing how far he could throw a rock. He set his feet apart, aimed and with incredible force flung the rock. Tim Tim, Ronin and Barbosa sat there amazed by Leroy's godly strength. The rock collided with a very tiny island in the distance and sunk it.

"Mister Leroy, teach me your ways!" Tim Tim pleaded.

"Me too, me too!" Barbosa joined in.

"I'M SORRY LITTLE ONES BUT THIS TECHNIQUE CAN ONLY BE HONED AFTER DECADES OF PRACTISE! YOU MUST BE MEN OF DETERMINATION AND SHEER COMMITMENT!" Leroy replied.

"Leroy, I don't think that's how the saying goes but shouldn't you be doing something at the moment." Jenkins interrupted.

"OH NO! MY 1PM WORKOUT SESSION! I'M SORRY MY STUDENTS BUT I MUST TRAIN!"

Belsari was in Vaeg's room, building the life supporting machine she promised him. During her breaks she would start tinkering with her robotic arm to try to create a defence mode. Alas, it kept sparking, so she decided to just focus on Vaeg's project first.

Whatz D Face was steering the ship and keeping an eye out for trouble but the seas were calm and it was a really nice day. Tim Tim went towards Whatz D Face.

"Where are we heading Mister navigator?" Tim Tim asked.

"To where Barbosa's father left treasure, my good sir. The Oseb Isle."

"Do you know what the temperature is like there?"

"From the snippets I've heard. It's a bit nippy so you'll probably have to wear some winter type clothes, little man."

"Ok, thanks for the information. Cool cape by the way."

"Thank you for noticing, kind gentleman."

Vaeg was on the bottom deck sleeping on Lt. Dawn, who seemed drugged, whilst waiting for Belsari to implement the new device she had devised. Barbosa ran down extremely quickly to wake Vaeg up.

"What do you want, monkey man?"

"Who do you think you are? You left the stove on again."

"I didn't. Also, what do you mean again? We've only been on this refurbished ship for a day!"

"You don't fool me. You snuck up last night to cook some strange meat and didn't turn the stove off. You did the same this morning."

"Whatever, monkey man. I'm going back to sleep."

"Don't you fucking dar-"

Vaeg started snoring loudly and Barbosa gave up on his case.

"ENEMY GALLEON SIGHTED GENTLEMEN! REPORT TO BATTLE STATIONS!" Whatz D Face shouted.

The bright blue skies that had sprawled out endlessly were now covered in dark clouds blocking light from entering. The seas became more wild as the galleon moved closer towards the Crimson Spear; they had named the ship the previous day. The crew rushed around, to make final preparations for what seemed like a very difficult fight. Nargo and Jimmy, slightly tipsy, rushed out of their office and started making orders.

"Nargo what are those chains for?" Jimmy asked.

"Oh these bad boys. You'll see."

"I hope they're going to be useful. Anyways, I'm going to help Tim Tim man the cannons, you're in charge up here."

"Fucking get down there then!"

The galleon was only a few hundred metres away from the Crimson Spear now. Whatz D Face swivelled the ship round to allow the cannons to fire at the galleon. They all fired but only two of the six hit, and they only grazed the middle deck.

"Whatz D Face get me closer and I'll try to drag the fucking sails down off of the marine ship." Nargo commanded.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes!" Nargo said and then shouted up to Barbosa, who was currently in the crow's nest, "What's the highest ranked officer there?"

"I'm afraid it's an Ensign. But it doesn't seem to be Masterson. Other than that, two lieutenants and around 50 marines."

Whatz D Face suggested he could sneak onto their ship using his shadow camouflage which Nargo agreed to. Jenkins set himself up where he was hidden in plain sight. Vaeg eventually appeared after securing his patient.

"Hey, I remember that bastard!" Vaeg blurted out.

"You know the Ensign?" Nargo asked.

"Uh... no you retard. I must've got him mixed up with someone else."

"Well, can yo-"

"Fuck no. I can't be bothered to help."

"There will be more 'Patients'."

Vaeg thought for a second, "My supply is running low, I guess. Fine, since you are all useless I'll help you."

Suddenly a harpoon hooked onto the side of the Crimson Spear.

"FIRE!" Nargo shouted.

Another wave of cannonballs fired and this time some of them hit the bottom deck, causing water to flood in. Some marines immediately got to work patching the holes.

"Mister Jimmy I'll keep these guys busy. You and Ronin go top deck and assist the others." Tim Tim said.

"Ok but be careful Tim Tim."

On top deck, chaos was everywhere. Plenty of planks were laid down for dozens of marines to board. Unluckily for some, Belsari burned the majority of the planks, somehow without setting fire to the Crimson Spear. The Ensign, a large man with no weapons, stepped aboard the ship and the remaining marines decided to help out with patching the lower deck. Only one lieutenant stood on top deck of the marine galleon.

"Looks like my lucky day. I'm Ensign Morrow and I'm here to take your heads. Bang!"

"Did you say 'Bang!'? What did you fucking think it was going to do?" Nargo said, laughing hard.

Suddenly his hand turned into a giant hammer and knocked Nargo flying into his office. Out of the debris he stood back up and said, "Oh for fuck's sake. You're a devil fruit user."

Barbosa immediately started attacking. First he did a flurry of blows which didn't even affect Morrow. Next he summoned his staff and slammed it up into Morrow's chin. Jimmy, who had just arrived, threw his harpoon, whilst Morrow was in the air, which penetrated his shoulder and pinned him to the floor. He ripped the harpoon out and smashed Belsari in the face with his hammer-hand.

Another round of cannonballs were fired by both ships, leading the Crimson Spear to shake around allowing the lieutenant to get aboard the ship. He was oddly similar to Lt. Dawn and carried the same attitude as him as well.

"You bastards! Where is my brother?" He screamed.

"Your brother?" the crew replied confused.

"The missing Lt. Dawn! Where is he you murderers?"

"We uh... have no idea what you're talking about." Jimmy lied.

"You can't trick me. The reports say it all. You were the last to see him. I won't stop until I find him."

"We're in the middle of a fight. Could you kindly fuck off?" Nargo asked frustrated.

"No can d-"

As he went to refuse, a ten-foot chain suddenly wrapped round him and dragged him into the ocean. After placing him in the water, the chains wrapped back round Nargo's arm.

"I see you've got a devil fruit too 'Metallic' Nargo." Morrow said, "But no matter, I'll still crush you."

Leroy tapped him on the shoulder.

"LEEEEEEERRRRRROOOOOOYYYYYY!"

Leroy suplexed Morrow, almost snapping Morrow's neck in the process.

"I-Impossible! You shouldn't be able to damage me with blunt attacks! I have the bang-bang fruit!"

"BUT I AM LEROY!"

A chain wrapped round Morrow. He tried wrestling free of them using brute force but was overwhelmed by the tightness of the chains. For extra measure, Jimmy stabbed his harpoon into all of his limbs so that it would be too painful to escape.

Another round of cannonballs fired and the marine ship started sinking. The sail finally came down after Whatz D Face had been pulling on it the entire time. Before he could drown on the ship, Nargo sent his other chain and dragged Whatz D Face back onto the Crimson spear. Tim Tim came up from the middle deck, beaming with pride and went over to Jenkins, now visible, to thank him for his help against the other marines firing cannons.

"So, what shall we do with Ensign Dickhead over here?" Nargo asked.

A heated discussion about what to do with him lasted for thirty minutes. It was abruptly ended when Ronin bit Morrow's head off.

"I'm eating your oversized dog. Me saying that as a strict cannibal should emphasise how pissed off I am!" Vaeg declared angrily.

"You could've stopped him Tim Tim!" Nargo shouted.

"There's no need to get angry over this minor thing guys." Jimmy tried calming the situation.

Vaeg stormed off back downstairs after collecting all the bodies of the marines that had landed on the Crimson Spear, with Belsari following him to finish off the machine for Vaeg.

"I'm sorry guys. It's just Ronin was excited about his new armour and was a bit disappointed that he didn't get to hunt someone."

"You should keep that thing on a fucking leash." Nargo mumbled as he helped Whatz D Face put the ship back on course.

"We still have a day's journey to go until we reach Oseb Isle, my fine gentlemen. Make sure to wear warm clothes because it's mostly nippy there." Whatz D Face announced.

And so the crew sailed quite easy for the rest of the journey.
