(18) Notorious in the East Blue!

[Marine ??? POV]

This rookie; hah, he's a handful. He defeated a Liutenant Commander without breaking a sweat, and even defeated over a dozen marine petty officers.

They weren't the strongest, but there strength in numbers could very well make it difficult for someone to beat them all at once!

"Wait, he made a request?" I asked the idiotic Liutenant Commander in front of me.

"Y-yes sir, he asked us to raise his bounty t-to thirty million. He also said that anything below ten million was disrespectful." Liutenant Commander Morgan said in a respectful tone.

Bang!

I slammed my fist through the desk in anger, startling Liutenant Commander Morgan in front of me.

"Go get me a new desk!" I ordered.

"Y-yes sir! Commodore Pudding Pudding!"

"While your at it, raise his bounty to thirty million!" I shouted at Liutenant Commander Morgan.

"White Haired Avery huh, I'll enjoy taking you out." I said as I twirled my light purple hair around with my finger.

"Hesitation in a battle could be fatal, as if you hesitate for even a second; that could decide the fate of the fight." Zoro absorbed this information like a sponge.

"I understand." Zoro responded, as I was about to teach him some more, I heard bangs on the door of the dojo.

I walked over and opened the door, and found two kids.

"Look! Look! It's big bro Avery he's in the paper!" One of the kids shouted.

I took the paper and there he was. 'Wanted Dead or Alive: White Haired Avery' His bounty was a whopping thirty million!

Surprisingly I found two bounties for both Kuina and Aoki. 'Wanted Dead or Alive: Water Princess Aoki' 'Wanted Dead or Alive: Kuina the Black Flash'.

There bounties were both five million! I didn't know how I should feel. Should I feel dissapointed, mad, or happy? Kuina is pursuing both of our dreams, becoming the world's strongest swordsman; something I failed to become myself.

I'll live my dream through her.

[Avery POV]

A day had passed since our visit to Shells town, and lets just say that the last twelve hours had been nothing but crazy.

As we left Shells town, we were chased by four marine ships. We had to sail for about an hour to get rid of them, thankfully there was an island near Shells town; otherwise we'd probably had been in a rough situation.

From the ship, I spotted a village. Thank god, I moved the ship towards the dock and docked the ship.

The three of us got off the ship and walked around cluelessly inside the village.

As I walked I spotted a man with a white hat with red stripes, a bright yellow shirt, with a grey beard and mustache. I thought I recognized him but his appearance didn't ring any bells.

The man spotted me and our eyes met each others, his face had a slight smile on it as he walked towards us.

"Guests? Welcome to my humble Foosha Village!" The old man welcomed us, wait Foosha Village?

No way! It can't be I must've misheard him.

"Come, come I have to guide our guests. Take it as a little village tour!" The old man urged us and we followed.

"My name is Woop Slap; Mayor of this humble village, what are your names?"

"I'm Avery, Blue haired girl is Aoki, and that's Kuina" I responded.

"Hmm, why do those names all ring some bells? Are you guys famous?" Woop Slap asked.

"No" I responded, we were a bit famous but not in the way he's thinking of. He practically despises pirates, well not Shanks.

"Interesting, anyway here is our villages very own; Partys Bar!" Woop Slap said.

That's it I'm really in Foosha Village! I didn't even want to meet Luffy until he set out from here, well who doesn't like a little detour.

As Mr. Wood Slap continued on with his tour, a little kid with dark black shaggy hair, round black eyes, a scar with two stiches underneath his left eye, and a bright yellow strawhat with a red stripe going all around the hat on top of his head; ran towards us.

The boy had a big bone with meat on it in his hand.

I recognized him so fast you'd think I had seen him every day each year.

Luffy! He ran towards us and a tall, overweight, middle aged orange haired woman, chased him. Along with a short man who had a turban on his head and a sword his size on his back.

"Get back here Luffy! I won't let you steal my meat!" The orange haired woman yelled out.

The boy merely took a big bite out of the meat and shouted.

"Over my dead body! Crappy Shack! Hehehehe!" Luffy ran towards us and came to a stop in front of me.

"Hey! I know you! Your a pirate! Woopy! This guys has a thirty million berry bounty!" Luffy suddenly said, surprising all of us.

"I knew it! I knew I knew you from somewhere! Luffy don't call me that! I told you it was Woop Slap! Not Woopy!"

"Woop Slap, Woody, same thing!" Luffy looked towards me and said.

"You know, I'm going to be a pirate too! I'll become the King of the Pirates! Hehehe!"

"You're funny! Avery's going to become the King of the Pirates." Aoki said as she laughed at Luffy's goal.

"Tch! I'll beat him up!" Luffy suddenly said, getting weird stare from Aoki and Kuina.

Mr. Woop Slap approached Luffy and slapped him on the back of his head.

"Stop it with this becoming a pirate nonsense!"

"Ow! That kind of hurt Woopy!"

"Hah, I told you to not call me that!"

"Oops, sorry Woopy."

"You know what, forget it do what you want!"

Luffy must be a handful, I'm starting to feel a little sorry for Curly Dadan. Hahaha.
