Chapter 28: Black Cat Pirates

Usopp had just entered Kaya`s mansion. It was a two-story building with a large garden and a pond. The mansion was surrounded by high walls.

Ben saw the window open and climbed a tree to get in. Ben could see a very tidy and neat room. It had a large king-size bed. He jumped into the room from the tree. He could hear voices in the corridor.

"Kaya you have to believe me Kuro, is not who he says he is. He is a member of a pirate group. He is dangerous and only wants your wealth. That man is working with him.," says Usopp. Usopp has a very distinct voice which is easily recognisable.

Ben slowly peaked through the door and saw a man with a square-shaped face with small, round glasses with his black hair combed back neatly. Ben knew this was Nugire Yainu. He should be dead, another change in the story.

Nugire had held Kaya hostage. This sword was near her neck. His other arms was near her waist. Ben was angry. This was his girl, his crewmate.

"Let her go," Ben ordered as he stepped into the corridor.

"Who are you?" Nugire said point the sword towards Ben.

"My name is Ben, and I will be Pirate King," Ben said.

"You better get your hand off my crewmate now," he angrily said.

Kaya was in shock, from kidnapping to this mysterious man declaring her his crewmate. Kaya thought she didn't like violence but here she was.

"Or else what?" Nugire said while pointing the sword back to Kaya`s neck.

Ben transformed into his hybrid form. His black wings, and black tail could be visible. His eyes were red with no pupils. Nugire looked terrified. Ben stepped closer ready to attack when Nugire fled. He left Kaya and ran into the next room and dolphin dived out the window.

He rushed over to Kaya to prevent her from falling down.

"Kaya, Usopp is right. Kuro wants you dead. He does not care for you," Ben said looking at Kaya.

"I know you don't know and have no reason to trust me. You are a brilliant woman and capable doctor. I want you for my crew to help me," Ben added.

"Kuro will never hurt me. You both are lying. I would not join a pirate group who hurt people," Kaya said with tears in her eyes.

"I don't hurt people, unless they try to me or my precious crew or any innocent person," Ben said.

"You are lying," Kaya said in a weak voice.

"Let me show you then. That man is going to Kuro right now," said Ben. He sweeped Kaya into his arms and princess carried her.

"Usopp, keep up," he said.

He then went out the same window Nugire had.

"Kaya, could you reach into my pocket and grab my walkie talkie," he said as he was running through the forest.

Kaya, who was embarrassed in this position, reached down into his pocket to find the walkie talkie. She touched something very hard and long but couldn't take it out.

"Not that Kaya," Ben said. Kaya blushed. She then reached into his other pocket and pulled a strange device. It didnt look like Deni Deni Mushi.

"Press the green button," Ben said. Kaya pressed the button.

"Alvida, Honey, head to the beach opposite of where we docked. We got company, Usopp is there as well" Ben informed.

Back at the bar, Alvida and Honey heard the message. "Lets see what my love is up to this time," Alvida says.

"Probably another girl," Honey replies.

"I wonder what type," Alvida replied.

Luffy overheard the conversation and said, "Ben is going to have some fun, lets join him."

"He said he is on the east direction," Alvida said.

Luffy stretches his arm around Zoro. "Hey, watch it," Zoro says.

Luffy then shoots into the sky towards Alvida's direction. Zoro could be heard screaming and saying, "I will kill you."

"Boys," Honey said.

They paid for their food and walked out the bar.

Meanwhile on the ship, HQ was standing. Nami had sneaked out from the bar and went towards the Miss Love Duck. She thought Alvida, Honey and Ben looked wealthy and she could steal his ship.

Nami saw the ship, it looked like Alvida would be captain instead of Ben. She thought this was strange. However her eyes had signs of money. She thought this will be too easy. She went to the ship and boarded.

At the moment HQ noticed an intruder and charred towards Nami. She tacked and pinned her down. "Can I help you?" HQ says.

Nami, who thought the ship was empty, was surprised when she was tackled. She looked up to see Honey Queen. However she was wearing different clothes. She had a tail and small horns.

"We met at the bar and made friends with Ben," Nami said in a panic.

"Master`s friends are my friends," HQ said but she added, "Master did not say we are expecting guests."

"I only came from my boat with Luffy but checked out this one as well, I need to go back," Nami said. She thought something was very wrong on this ship. She looked like a demon version of Honey Queen and had monstrous strength.

"Okay bye," HQ said. She got up from Nami and then Nami ran.
