Team (2)

"What the fuck?!" Doreen cursed out loud as he grabbed the nearest pole to stabilize himself. Even then, he exerted all his strength just to prevent himself from being tossed out of the ship.

The seawater started to enter the lower deck and the ship tilted to the right. If this was left uncontrolled, then the ship would be expected to sink.

Makino transformed back into her normal form and unsummoned her pokemon. She looked up and signaled Pidgeot.

The bird pokemon descended just enough for Makino to reach. When Pidgeot was close enough, she climbed atop the bird and they flew upward.

Makino stopped Pidgeot when she noticed that the height was enough and jumped again.

Just like what she did earlier, she morphed back into Snorlax and summoned her two pokemon once again, crashing against the battered ship for the second time.

=====================

Meanwhile, somewhere in the East Blue, there was a heated confrontation between Okami's crew and pirates.

"Who are you?!" The sexy lady clad in tight leathers screamed as she pointed at Glen. "Don't you know who I am?!"

"Poison Ivy with a 15 million Beli bounty," Glen answered as he balanced himself atop Mackie's back, who was in Fearow form. "The greatest crime was poisoning all the men inside a village while plundering their houses."

"Men are vile creatures that deserved to be poisoned to death." Poison Ivy gripped her whip and instructed her crew members, who happened to be all females, to prepare their weapons. "Girls, this old guy wants to harass us. What do we do to someone like him?"

All of them laughed out loud as they crowded the main deck and answered 'Death' in unison.

Glen sneered and returned the poster inside his pocket. "No matter what your reasons are, when people kill their victims indiscriminately, then they also deserve to die. A tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye, they say."

Poison Ivy giggled. "You're right. But can you do it? It's too late for you to escape, anyway. And the bird you are riding at, it's considered mine now, old man."

Glen noticed that several of them were aiming their guns at him. He knocked on Fearow's head and teased, "Hey, birdbrain. It's good news for you. The lady wants to turn you into her slave. Don't you want to have a girlfriend for once in your life?"

Everyone gasped when they heard the bird replied, "Fucking old man, stop hitting my head or I'll drop you! I want to have her but the Beli on her head is more important than her body. We can do a lot with 15 million Beli."

Poison Ivy narrowed her eyes when she heard Mackie's reply, prompting her to command her underlings. "Shoot!"

There was a series of gunshots that echoed within the vicinity but not even a single bullet had touched their targets.

Unbeknownst to them, Mackie used his Observation Haki to dodge the bullets. Not even once had he been grazed by their sudden attacks.

"Let's finish this." Glen jumped toward the open sea as he summoned his only pokemon and activated his Zoan form at the same time. At once, two Gyarados appeared before the pirate ship, scaring the heck out of the female pirates.

Mackie used Agility to increase his movement and screeched loudly. He then flapped his wings rapidly while hovered in the air, enveloping his body with a harsh light. When the energy stored was enough, he swooped down toward Poison Ivy and executed Sky Attack in a flash.

Poison Ivy was about to protect herself using her whip but she felt her vision began to fade. She did not realize that her head was already decapitated from her body, and the last thought inside her mind was on how to torture his enemies.

Glen saw what happened and snorted. Since these pirates were already brainwashed by their leader, it was difficult to let them escape. He could not take chances and let them had their revenge in the future. It was much better to cut off the weed from the very start.

He opted not to use Hyperbeam this time because it was overkill and he did not want to cause any unwanted destruction. Inside his mind, he instructed his Gyarados and they both used Waterfall attack. Streams of seawater floated several meters above them before falling against the ship like a torrent. It was not able to hold on against the crashing impact and got capsized.

Several pirates were left struggling in the sea as they prevented themselves from drowning.

Gyarados finished the remaining pirates with several devastating Crunch attacks, eating them alive.

Mackie's eyes almost popped out because of Glen's brutality. "What happened to him while he was with Boss for the past year?"

Glen drifted towards Mackie and said, "Let's go. Make sure to hold on to her head. Boss said we need it to redeem the bounty back in the marine base."

========================

The same thing was happening west of Dawn Island.

Gustav the Axeman was sleeping inside his room when he was roused up because of the crashing sound from the main deck. "Fucker! What are they doing?!"

He quickly stood up and fixed his clothes before rushing outside, only to find that the ship was empty.

Even though he found it strange, he was not afraid because he could not imagine someone would attack them right now, considering his bounty was high enough to act as a deterrent. 20 million Beli was uncommon in the area and he was used to acting like a hegemon.

"HEY! WHERE ARE YOU, LAZY BASTARDS?!"

The only answer he got was the soft splashing of waves and the whispers of the sea breeze.

He was about to retrieve his battleax when he heard movements from the lower deck. True enough, two people climbed upstairs and paused when their eyes met.

"One-Eyed Bunny?! What the fuck are you doing inside my ship?!"

Bunny nibbled a carrot before he replied, "We're acquaintances, right? Can't a friend visit you?"

Gustav narrowed his eyes. "I'd rather have an enemy rather than a friend like yours! What did you do to my crew?! Where are they?!"

"They're gone." Troy was the one who answered this time.

"What?! Are you kidding me?! What do you mean 'they're gone'?" This time, Gustav's attention was on Troy.

Troy shrugged his shoulders and pointed at Bunny. "He gave them some errands. They're all quite busy with their tasks somewhere in the Goa Kingdom."

Gustav gnashed his teeth. "Are you treating me like a fool?! Do you think they will listen to an outsider like him?!"

Instead of replying, Bunny simply copied how Gustav looked like and continued eating his carrots.

Gustav was genuinely shocked when he saw himself standing before him. At last, he understood why his underlings were deceived by him. As far as he could remember, Bunny was known for his Rabbit transformation but this was his first time to see him using this ability. He reached out his weapon from his back but he realized that he left it inside his room. This was not a good thing, considering he was facing a Zoan Devil Fruit user. He was about to run to his quarters when a blast of Watergun prevented him from retreating.

"Are you looking for your weapon, Gustav?" Troy asked. "An axeman without his ax would be weakened drastically and you need all the strength you can get to defeat us."

Bunny jumped across the area easily due to his leg strength, completely blocking the captain deck's entrance. "Just stay where you are, Gustav. Fun fact, you can't use your secret, the Axe Drill, right now."

"How did you know my secret?!" Gustav felt scared when he realized someone knew his trump card. "Tell me, who told you my secret?!"

Bunny chuckled. "It's a secret."

Troy transformed into Blastoise and summoned his only caught pokemon Blastoise, who then positioned himself a few meters behind Gustav. They were in a triangular formation wherein Gustav was at the center. With a snap of his finger, he said, "Bunny, let's bathe him to death."

Bunny nodded his head and morphed into a Blastoise. Together, the three Blastoises emitted a huge volume of water from their mouths and zoomed toward their helpless target.

Gustav's scream resounded inside the ship, his body was crushed in between the strong water pressures.

======================

Okami checked Hoothoot from time to time and noted that it was almost lunchtime. But his crew members were not yet done with their assignments and he was forced to eat some left-over snacks because he was hungry.

He was drinking when he sensed someone coming from the lower deck. There he saw Makino naked as she strutted her stuff while she strolled on the open deck. He spurted out the water from his mouth. Even though he felt the blood rushed to his head, he kept his cool because of Calm Mind. "Gastly, don't do it on me, okay? You may prank others but not your partner."

Makino twirled around before melting into a pile of poop. Then a series of cackles reverberated across the ship when the poop floated in the air and transformed into Gastly.

Okami laughed and teleported right at the ship's bow to feel the full impact of the sea breeze. At once, he forgot what happened earlier and enjoyed the beauty of the seafarer's life. After several minutes, he jumped down and returned to the main deck.

"I guess it's time for me to create the floating Pokemon Center."

He summoned the Pokemon App and checked the infrastructures that were unlocked. Then he calculated inside his mind if his plan was feasible and concluded that it was enough for now. Later, he could upgrade the ship when they visit Water 7 in the future.

After finalizing his plans, he went to the middlemost area of the ship. The Pokemon Center was the first infrastructure that he summoned, which he positioned at the forecastle. The next thing he developed was the Pokemart and the PC, which he assigned at the stern of the ship. He placed the Pokemon Duplicating machine and the unused Breeding Machine near the main deck. He took advantage of the time to duplicate his pokemon and released them in the wilds, particularly the water and the flying pokemon, thereby earning him additional PP.

As for the rest of the area, he did not change it. His room would still be at the captain's office while the original crew would still be staying inside the berth, just below the main deck.

The only thing that he needed to do was to paint their logo onto the ship's wall.

As for the Pokemon Safari, he would have to wait for a new ship.

"This time, the first phase of the plan has been fulfilled - the creation of SS Anne," Okami muttered to himself as floated above the ship to have a clear overview. "What I need is Beli. Lots of Beli. No, billions of Beli!"

While he was looking at the wide sea, he detected a figure hundreds of meters away. He used the telescope and found out that it was one of his crew members riding on a pokemon. "So, Makino and Michael was the first team to finish the task?"

He was dumbfounded when he saw a ship sailing behind them. "Are they being chased? It's neither a marine ship nor a pirate ship. What is it?"

He absorbed Pidgeot and looked again. This time, everything was much clearer because of the Keen Eye ability. When he recognized the four people who were riding the ship, he chuckled. "Looks like the rest of them got a new ship for me."

==============================

A year passed by.

The image of a Pokeball was already painted on both sides of the first ship Okami had taken over. It was accentuated by the word 'SS ANNE' located below the logo.

The second ship was transformed into the floating Pokemon Safari. As soon as he confirmed the process via the Pokemon App, the previous main deck magically changed into a mini-forest. Even though the area was small, the trees were dense enough to block the sunlight from reaching the earthy loam. The place was lively because of the presence of several pokemon species, which mostly included the flying-types and normal-types. Okami did not dare put all of them inside the newly-created Pokemon Safari because he was not sure if the ship could handle it. He would rather wait until he arrived in Water 7 and upgrade the ship. If it was not enough, then he could just buy a bigger one.

Okami and his crew did not stop bounty-hunting and continued terrorizing the pirates in the East Blue. Even the marines started to recognize their powers and they were soon given their titles to identify each one of them.
