Las Camp Finale

"Well let's be on our way then, no sense in being here anymore." I say as I motion towards her to start heading out, she gives a curt nod and heads out first, I just smile as I make a fireball and toss it to the stacks of files spread all around the room starting up a huge inferno that begins to destroy the agency.

I then see the guy I implanted into the wall and incinerate him turning him to nothing but ash as we made our exit.

"… you can be surprisingly ruthless can't you?"

"When you know the guy he sent that info too, of course the price he had to pay is his life, because now the Joker has leverage on me that he can use at any time he wants, even if me and the Joker have a good impression on each other he's a businessman so he'll take any opportunity that can make him or his crew even stronger and now he knows I can do that I won't be surprised if he calls me in the near future." I say as I shake my head at the conversation that'll have with him.

"So it is true that you can train people while they sleep?"

"Yes, but if you want to know the details I'll need you to sign some binding agreements that will give me the free rein to tell you everything you want to know."

"Binding agreements?"

"It's a soul contract, I'll tell you one of my biggest secrets but in return you have absolute secrecy on what is said or your soul will be destroyed as a cost of breaking the contract, it's that serious of a secret that if it got out I'd be hunted not just by the government but by the whole world wanting to use my abilities to become greater than they actually are." I say with an extremely serious look.

*gulp* "… can you let me think about it?"

"That's fine, I'd hesitate after hearing something like that as well." I say as we finally come up to street level and start to head towards the docks.

"This your ship?"

"Yep, welcome aboard the Flame Yuda Robin." I say with a smile as I lead her aboard.

Nico Robin, 18, has officially joined the Firebrand Pirates.

After I bring her on board and show her all around the ship we finally stop back in the study/library.

"This will be your main room that you can use for looking over any documents we come across in our travels."

She just smiles and nods as she takes a better look at the study before sitting down at her desk.

"This place will do just fine." She says with a gentle look as she caressed her desk.

"Well if you want to get acquainted with the ship and your study that's fine by me, or if you wanna come with me to go find our other members and see what there doing right now, plus will probably be staying for another day to restock our ship since we're gonna be getting even more basic crew mates to keep this ship operational and we only have a few days worth of food for only a handful of us so yeah will be here awhile."

"Hmmmm…. Sure why not? I don't have anything to do here right now and it would only be me on the ship if you head off anyway so let me see these 2 guys of yours, Theo and Owen right?"

"Yep Theo's the Doc of our ship and Owen's my Vice captain."

"Does he also train you in your sword skills as well?"

"Yeah he's like my gramps to me, not by blood but he's looked after me all these years and helped hone my skills as well."

We chatted some more along the way as I used the compass to lead me towards Theo and see what they've been doing in the roughly 2 hours I've been away.

When I arrive I see a peculiar sight, Theo and another very round man were angrily playing Rock Paper Scissors and would constantly keep tying with each other and just keep going at it again and again, Moria was just up against a wall relaxing as he watched the show, while Perona looking absolutely bored was resting at an outdoor dining table for 2.

"….. what the hell is going on?" I say as I look at Moria to get some answers.

Moria just grins, "Your doc decided to pick a fight with Dr.Hogback, because Hogback only agreed to join my crew if I revived his dead love interest and made her his, but after I did that, he started to treat her poorly because he thinks of her more like a slave now and treats her as such, seeing that your guy Theo called him out on his lack of love for the girl Hogback loved. They started to get in an argument on ethics or something, I didn't really care until he Challenged HogBack on his skill as a doctor to see if he really deserves his title, so they competed on things that showed there skills as doctors and they kept on coming at a tie every single time and it's gotten so bad that they keep playing Rock Paper Scissors over and over and constantly just ending in ties over and over again, my opinion they are both probably the greatest doctors of this era of there dead even in everything they do against each other." He explains to me as he picks at his teeth with a tooth pick.

"AGAIN! ROCK PAPER SCISSORS!!! ONCE MORE!!!" (Theo/Hogback)

"I think this has gone on long enough don't you think Moria?"

"Yeah I've gotten pretty bored watching them constantly go at it over and over again." He says as he picks himself up.

We then go behind our own doctors and when they were about to put there moves down for Rock Paper Scissors we grab there arms.

"Okay guys I think this has gone on long enough, your both great doctors and this has become pointless if you guys keep doing this nonstop and tie every time."

"HUH?!?! HE'S AS GOOD AS ME WHAT A JOKE!?!?! AHHH?!? QUIT COPYING ME YOU FUCK!!!!"(Theo/Hogback)

"Alright Theo you need to cool yourself off." I say as I produce a black sheet and cover Theo with that falls onto him but the acts as if he was never there and touches the ground where I take it back and put it away with Theo no where to be seen.

Where in actuality I sent him back to the Frontier by making a Gate in the black cloth.

"How'd you do that?"

"That's one of my many secrets, but don't worry I just sent him somewhere else to cool off is all."

Moria just nods his head and stops thinking about complicated things while he gives Hogback a once over.

"Well I kept my end of the deal Hogback, so you work for me now got it?"

"Of course boss! Anything for the guy who made my dream come true, and made my job even easier that I don't really need to help out actual people and truly do what all doctors dreamed of and bring the dead back to life! FOSFOSFOSFOS!!!!" He says laughing in a very strange manner.

"Well now I have nothing left to do and I'd go home now… but due to a certain incident earlier I'm gonna need to head over to the graveyard and collect some new 'crew' members, Firebrand mind watching my little girl for awhile, while I go hunting?" Moria says with a slightly sad face remembering all the zombies he loss.

"I don't mind, come on Perona I'll go make some sweets for you to eat in the mean time."

You can make sweets?" (Robin/Moria/Perona/Hogback)

"I live on an island of women and have 3 wives, of course I'd need to learn some skills to please a woman, and what better way than sweets?"

They think about it and nod to themselves while Robin blushes slightly at the way he was saying that.

So with a bit of pep in her step Perona follows us back to my ship as all we could do is wait for Owen to bring back more members and supplies for the ship.

After we get on board and give Perona a rundown of the ship we then head off to the lounge/kitchen area as I go in and start making some caramel chocolates.

(MC/N And I know what your thinking cant you just get all your supplies from the system shop? And yes I can but if I'm with a bunch of people who don't know of my powers it would be very odd that there was and nigh infinite supply of food that just appears from nowhere.)

After thinking about things after a while the caramel and chocolate were put into a flash freezer that I got from the shop for the kitchen, after freezing them I then drizzle honey on top of it and put toothpicks into them for grabbing and soon after bring the treats too the girls.

Robin looks impressed at them while Perona was drooling a little while looking at them.

They both take one each and eat it at the same time.

Robin has a extremely happy look on her face, while Perona is shaking back and forth, "It's sooo good!!!" She says as she begins to eat even more and more of them, but I stop her from eating them all to leave some for Robin who was a bit slower at eating them.

"Uuuu but I want more!"

"But this is for the both of you, if you want more I'll go make more but these are for here ok?"

"Hmph!…. Fine… but I want taffy now!" She says giving what she thinks is an unreasonable demand

"That's fine, what kind of flavor, we got cherry, blueberry, lemon, grape for flavorings." I say as I pull a mini taffy machine out of one of the cubbies.

"….. rainbow flavor…." She says slightly happy and upset that I can actually meet her demands without much fuss.

"Sure why not." I say as I coat the plain taffy with all of the flavors I mentioned before mixing it throughly before putting it into the mini taffy machine.

"….. Why are you so nice too me? I'm unreasonable and selfish, and mean, and and I made you and your friends all sad, you should dislike me or something right?!? So why are you nice to me!?"

*Time to do some bullshitting I guess.*

"…. You remind me a lot of a girl I once knew…. I treated her like a little sister and she treated me like an older brother… but one day when we were out in the woods we got attacked by a huge beast, we were attacked and got really hurt, before the adults came to save us…. It ate her… and nearly me as well…" I then pull off my shirt and they my body covered in scars before I turned and showed what appeared to be 3 huge claw marks across my back.

"This is the reminder that will be with me all my life of how I failed her back then…" I say then put my shirt on before heading back into the kitchen.

The Skill Bullshitting has been unlocked!

Bullshitting lvl1/ Max at lvl 20: you are a prolific liar that the tales you spin are likely to be believed if there is some evidence that makes it believable to the listener.

*I dunno if I should feel proud of unlocking this ability or not….*

I think to myself as I proceed to finish making the taffy and bringing it to Perona only to see her in tears and sobbing.

"I'm sawwy fuh makin you remember that *sniff*" she says crying even as she eats the taffy I made her.

Perona believed it but from the look on Robins face she could tell I was lying as she squinted at me and all I could do was shrug, behind Perona of course so she wouldn't see me do that.

I just pat and rub her back, "it's ok Perona, I'm not mad at you ok? Just know that I think of you as a little sister that I feel like spoiling ok?"

"*sniff* thanks…" she says with a slightly bigger smile as she eats more of her taffy, before long she starts to get sleepy.

"I'm tired… you got a place I can sleep in?" She says as she rubs her eyes sleepily.

I just nod my head and lead her off to one of the guest bedrooms for her to sleep in for the time being.

After I see her off Robin motions me to follow her, I get the feeling she wants an explanation as to why I flat out lied to Perona, unknown that the one in question was following us in her ghost form.

We both went into the study where she sat her desk while I laid down on the couch in the room.

"Now, tell me why did you lie to her about that sob story you made up? I know those wounds are made from a whip known as the Cat-o-3tails that have claws on the end of them to inflict extreme pain to the victim, there are not from the claws of any real animal that I've ever heard of." She says as she stares me down demanding answers, she hates when people lie around her.

"….. it's for 3 reasons why I lied."

*Perona balls up her fists in anger that she was played the fool*

"One because it's fun to mess with her." I say with a grin

*she gets even more mad and starts making ghosts to launch at me*

"Two… it's to see her true personality she keeps hidden underneath, she acts spoiled all the time and wants everything to go her way, but you saw it yourself that for people she sees as friends she genuinely cares for them and it makes me a bit happy to call her a friend."

*….*

"And lastly, I didn't lie to her when I saw her as a little sister, I more or less made up the story because I thought it was more believable than me just saying that I'm nice because your a little sis to me, if you know what I mean?"

*…. I'll forgive you this time...…. Big bro...* she says quietly to herself as she goes back to her room and back into her body to genuinely get some sleep.

…

..

.

The next day, Owen came back with as many men as he could convince to join which was only 25 men and women, they were mostly deck hands and a few that would work on the ships maintenance, but I'd need a true shipwright to fix any major damage to the ship or to upgrade it in the future.

But 25 will do for now.

He even came back with the supplies I asked him to get for us, we had the new members haul the supplies onto the ship before they started to get themselves situated down in the barracks.

Now it was just me and Perona on deck as I start to lead her off the ship so she can be with her dad, who was on the dock waiting for her.

"…" Perona has just been silent this entire time as we go down to see Moria.

I just smile as I take her crown and put it on my head as I rub her head, "See you around little sis, have fun seeing the world with your dad." I say before I put her crown back on her head, I could see she was shaking, not in anger, but of sadness that we were parting ways.

All I could do is smile as I go back onto my ship.

"... Do you want to go with him?" Moria asked because from that little interaction between them that she had grown a bit attached to Firebrand, but Moria was a whole lot less worried as he could see that he only saw her as a little sis and not as a girl even less like a young woman.

"…. *nods*…."

"Then what are you waiting for kid? Go have an adventure and don't come back till your strong enough to control those abilities of yours!" He says as he pushes her towards the Flame Yuda, *good thing I just thought of handing her off to him, now she's his problem and not mine now!*

"Vargas! Wait for me!" She says as she jumps on board just as we're departing

"Why do I feel like this was gonna happen anyway." I say as I mess with her hair.

"….. Oh and Zala that disguise doesn't work on me just so you know, I knew who you were the minute you stepped on board." I say looking at the female deck hand that was wearing a normal sailors outfit with shades and a bandana over her hair to keep it down

She pauses before slowly turning towards me, "Aww and you went and ruined the surprise." She says shaking her head as she takes off her shades to look at me with her deep blue eyes.

"Am I still welcome aboard your ship, Captain?" She says while biting the end of her shades in a seductive way, but it doesn't work on me, after all she's trying to seduce a true blooded Casanova, it's the other way around, I do the seducing, I will not be seduced that easily.

I just smile, "Of course, after all another Devil Fruit user is always welcome on board, though since you got in this way you'll need to prove your worth before I promote you to a main crew mate status after all."

"Heh… I accept that challenge."

Zala (16) and Perona (13) Join the Firebrand Pirates.

"Now then ladies and gentlemen it's time we head off towards the Grand Line!"
