Beginning of the Adventure II

Zeus kept walking through the village until he noticed Zoro and Nami standing in the middle of the street, leaning on a fence, with 2 kids. Zeus smirked and walked towards them, "We don't know where Onion is, he usually disappears and comes back saying something crazy happened." one of the kids said. "GUYS! There's a weird man walking backwards!" Onion said as he ran to the group "See?" another kid said. By this point Zeus was already standing right next to Nami but nobody noticed it.

Everybody turned to look the way Onion came and there was indeed a man walking backwards towards them. 'This should be Jango right? But where the fuck did he learn how to Moonwalk?' Zeus thought as he rubbed the bottom of his mask. "HEY i'm not weird!" the man said "I'm Jango and i'm a hypnotist!" the 3 kids looked at Jango and said "WOW COOL CAN YOU SHOW US?" Jango looked at the kids and shook his head "No i'm not gonna show you!" before pulling out his chakram and swaying it side to side "Okay look carefully when i say Jango you're gonna fall asleep 1...2.... JANGO!" The man and 3 kids immediately hit the ground and fell asleep. Zoro and Nami watched and shook their heads but snapped their heads toward a man laughing, it was Zeus.

"SHISHISHISHISHISHI THAT GUY! HE- SHISHISHISHI HE HYPNOTIZED HIMSELF!" Zeus literally fell on the ground and started laughing. Nami was so shocked that she almost jumped into Zoro's arms, Zoro however was not startled and just moved out of the way and Nami fell right on her ass, prompting Zeus to laugh again. Nami's face turned red as she got up and walked over to punch Zeus right in the head. "OW!" Zeus said as he rubbed his bump but he immediately froze. "How did you-" he was cut off my Nami screaming at him with shark teeth "HOW ABOUT YOU DON'T SNEAK UP ON PEOPLE! AND WHAT WAS WITH THAT NOTE?!" Zoro just seemed confused "What note?" he asked. Nami's face turned red again before grumbling something about Zeus being a bastard, Zeus got up and wiped his eyes from under his mask "Phew anyway who are you guys? Where's that kid with the straw hat and that kid with the long nose?" Nami was still grumbling, while Zoro narrowed his eyes and said "Why do you want to know? And more importantly who are you?" Zeus returned his gaze with amusement before chuckling "Well i'm a marine.. for now at least" Zoro's eyebrows furrowed before Zeus spoke again "And I heard a kid with a straw hat and a guy who had grass for hair claimed to be pirates took down a sad excuse for a marine in Shells town.." Zeus paused before saying playfully "Shishishi You wouldn't happen to know anybody like that would you?" Zoro froze and Nami failed to suppress her giggling. Zeus narrowed his eyes "As for my name.." Zeus paused while thinking... seconds pass, seconds turn to a minute, minute and a half... Nami snapped "YOU DON'T KNOW YOU'RE NAME?!" Zeus snapped his fingers and laughed "Shishishishi Jeez I guess you don't like jokes, well anyway you can call me Kurama." Zoro's eyes widened but Nami cut in and said "What do you mean?" Zeus shook his finger "Now now I can give you vital information first time we meet can I? I like being mysterious." before slamming his fist in his palm "Yes i'm a mystery man!" Nami deadpanned thinking this guy reminded her of her stupid captain but Zoro had a different reaction "You're the Marine 'White Lightning Kurama'?!" Nami turned to Zoro "Who's that?" Zoro had a serious look on his face and spoke "He is a new marine he caught a lot of pirates with over 30 million bounties in all the blues starting from 2 years ago. He only goes after pirates that he wants, and it's said he's the fastest Marine before the grandline." Nami gulped and fearfully looked at Zeus before giving a seductive look "A big tough and strong man like yourself wouldnt come for small no bounty pirates like us would you?" as she blew his a kiss, Zeus watched her, clicked his tongue and chuckled "Of course not i'm on vacation and currently roaming around sightseeing.." Nami and Zoro relaxed before tensing up again "though maybe i should capture you guys" Zeus rubbed his mask and then chuckled "Kidding I really don't care what you guys do shishishishishi" Zoro almost had half a mind to cut this bastard in half, Nami was about to yell again when they heard shuffling behind them. They turned and saw Ussop sprinting in their direction and before they could say anything he passed right by them. Luffy was not too far behind as he stopped in front of his friends "Hey guys what up?" Nami and Zoro tensed up as they thought about the Marine that was right behind them, they turned around to notice Zeus was gone. Nami looked around and mumbled " Where did he go?" Luffy cut in "Who?" Zoro said "White lightning Kurama the marine he was here just a second ago" Luffy looked around and asked "A marine was here? Are you guys playing around there's nobody here." before shaking his head "anyway guys we got other problems Kaya's butler is actually Captain Kuro of 100 plans, he's trying to kill Kaya! We gotta defend the village." Nami and Zoro nodded and set off.

Meanwhile Zeus was in the sky laughing at them and decided to take a nap in the air above the north end of the island, where the Black Cat Pirates were coming from.

Later that night Zeus woke up from a huge smash as he looked down from his cloud to see Luffy sleeping under the keel of one of the Black Cats boats. Amused he sent a little lightning down on his head waking him up.

Luffy woke up and joined the battle quickly turning it in their favor again, Zeus yawned and pulled out his Den Den Mushi and called Smoker "Hey Smokey! How's your night? Am I interrupting anything special? Shishishishishi" he said with an ambiguous tone. "Yea, my damn bubble bath." Smoker said sarcastically "What do you want?" Zeus chuckled and said "Well I got some more news for you, send a transport vessel for gecko island, North side. Kuro of the 100 plans is alive and ready to be captured, or at least will be soon." Smoker blew out smoke and said "What do you mean soon?" Then he chuckled "Having trouble with a washed up Pirate?" Zeus felt his face grow hot and snapped "Do I look like a rookie to you? It's those Straw Hat Pirates again They're fightng his right now to save a village, kinda Honorable don't you think?" Smoker paused "Details Kurama." Zeus slapped his mask and explained the situation of how Kuro was pretending to be a butler for 3 years and his plan. Smoker heard this and nodded "Alright transports gonna be there are you disappearing again?" Zeus laughed "Shishishishi Yup I'm still on vacation but i'll break their rudders and masts and look them in their boats so they don't escape but there's this one guy. Heart glasses mushroom beard, claims to be a hypnotist could become a marine with a little push thinking about sending him to Hina." Smoker choked "WHAT?! WHY?" Zeus light up a cigarette and exhaled the smoke "Why not Smokey? Feeling jealous it's not you?" Smoker grinded his teeth and growled "I'm gonna kick the shit out of you when you come back." Zeus shuddered "Eh you know what Smokey heheh you're great Hina's lucky to have you." Zeus chuckled nervously "Anyway gotta-go-bye" before Smoker could answer he hung up. Zeus looked down and noticed that the fight was over and jumped off his cloud to get to work.

The next day

The Strawhats and their new ship along with their new sniper set sail with Zeus following them.

"Hey Ussop! Bet you can't his that rock over there with the canons!" Luffy said. Ussop squinted at the rock and patted his chest "ARE YOU UNDERESTIMATING THE BRAVE WARRIOR OF THE SEA CAPTAIN USSOP?!" Luffy nodded and said "Yeah" Ussop almost fell down and grumbled "Just give me the stupid canon" Ussop shot the canon.

BOOOM*

"WOW USSOP YOU HIT IT IN ONE SHOT!" Luffy said with stars in his eyes, Ussop swallowed and said "Y-Yeah ofcourse im the Sniper King!" What followed aftrer that was 2 bounty hunters coming on desk with one of them having scurvy. Nami cured him and called him an idiot before the bounty hunters suggested they go to the Baratie is they were looking for a cook, and so they went. Zeus yawned and he himself was pretty hungry anyway, so when the Baratie was in sight he shot towards it before landing in front of the restaurant's doors and walking in.

When Zeus walked in he was greeted by a huge man with forearms he thought were impossibly too big to be real, the man smiled "Hello mere bastard, will you be paying today?" Zeus laughed and nodded before being brought to a table and sitting down. Zeus looked around the restaurant and found a young man who had yellow hair that covered half his face while the other half had a curled eyebrow, Zeus smirked and called the boy over "Oi! Curly brow come here." The man came over with a cigarette in his mouth and said "What do you want?" Zeus chuckled and pointed to the chair across from him, the man gave him a hard look and sat down looking for his lighter, Zeus flicked a lightning bolt, lighting the cigarette before pulling out his own and taking a long drag while giving the kid a good look "Whats your name kid?" The kid exhaled and said "Sanji." Zeus nodded and exhaled as well "Kurama. Nice to meet'cha 'San-ji'" Zeus grinned not caring if Sanji got the message or not before continuing "Wanna make a bet with me?" Sanji tensed up slightly "What kind of bet" Zeus leaned in closer and said "I bet you're gonna meet the love of your life here today and she'll have orange hair, what do you think?" Sanji relaxed but was still on guard "Stakes?" Zeus chuckled "If you do meet her then i get my food for free." Sanji smirked "And if i don't?" Zeus winked and replied in a voice only he and Sanji could hear "and i'll tell you what I know.." Sanji started to walk away before Zeus spoke again "Oh by the way your sister is worried about you." Sanji froze and whipped his head around but before he could do anything a loud BOOM* was heard and the restaurant shook. Sanji turned around and went to make sure the old man was okay.

Zeus chuckled and shook his head as he knew exactly what that was, sure enough not even fine minutes later 6 people walked in. Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Ussop, and the 2 bounty hunters who were named Johnny and Yosako, walked in and found a table. Sanji walked out from the back room and looked at Zeus who chuckled and pointed to Nami, Sanji looked in the direction he was pointing in and was immediately swooned but before he could go over and put his charms to work a voice called him "WAITER! Bring me the wine! I'm Lieutenant Fullbody!" Sanji chewed on his cigarette and turned to grab a wine bottle while cursing Fullbody to die a horrible death for interrupting his attempts at Nami. Sanji brought the wine to Fullbody and poured him a glass before pouring it to the lady sitting across from him and saying "Hello miss would you like to ditch this guy and have a glass with me?" Fullbody was enraged as he drank his wine "Ahh beautiful wine! This must be the west blue specialty!" Sanji deadpanned "It's from the north blue." and turned to walk away while the girl sitting across from Fullbody giggled which only made Fullbody even angrier, a few minutes later their soup was served and Fullbody called out "HEY WAITER! Why is there a bug in my soup?" Sanji sighed and Zeus shot lightning to light his cigarette while chuckling, Sanji grinned and walked over to Fullbody and said "I don't know sir maybe you should ask it?" The whole restaurant was struggling to stifle their laughter Fullbody grew incensed and shouted "I said what is it doing in my soup!" Sanji looked at the bug in the soup for a good second and spoke "Well to be honest it looks like the breaststroke to me." The restaurant erupted in laughter, even the girl sitting with Fullbody laughed while covering her mouth, Zeus was sitting at his table slamming it with his palm laughing his ass off so hard he almost feel out of his chair. Fullbody was the only one not laughing, in fact he was extremely angry "Are you making fun of me?! I'm a Marine Lieutenant!" he said as he smashed his arm through the table splitting it in half ruining not only the table but the food on it as well.

Zeus stopped laughing and the restaurant so silent you could hear a pin drop, Zeus shook his head and said "You're fucked." Sanji looked at the food on the floor and said "You could've taken the bug out and the soup would've been perfectly fine, but now you really ruined it." Sanji picked his hand up and kicked Fullbody right in the face sending him flying into the wall. The only sound was Zeus chuckling while clapping as he stood up and walked over to Fullbody, grabbing his hair and jerking his head so he could see Zeus' mask "Hey Scumbag you know who I am?" Fullbody opened his eyes and saw the mask, Fullbody started shivering "W-W-White Lightning" Zeus laughed "Exactly now if you don't get your pathetic excuse of a marine ass out of my sight I'm gonna make sure you go back in a wheelchair understand?" Fullbody nodded like a chicken pecking rice and scrambled away on to the marine ship as fast as he could. "Shishishishi good job Sanji" Zeus said turning to the customers "Don't worry everyone continue your meals nothing to see here." then he turned to Sanji and winked "Wanna meet our bet?" Sanji grinned and nodded, Zeus chuckled and walked towards Luffy's table "What's up Orange, and hey Grass Head." Zeus said before he snapped his fingers "Oh right before I forget, HEY COOKS!" Zeus shouted pointing at Luffy and chuckling evilly "This is the guy that shot a hole through your roof shishishishishi" Almost everyone at the table choked on their spit and Luffy started to sweat before 6 cooks came and grabbed him " Oh really? Looks like we'll have to take him to the head chef" The cooks said as they walked away dragging Luffy with them. Zeus laughed and sat down in his spot and ate a bit before remembering why he was here in the first place "Oh yea Orange this here is Sanji" he said gesturing at Sanji, who gave a curt bow and kissed her hand "Sanji this is.. uhh.. Orange." he finished as Nami was on the verge of erupting, while Zoro was chuckling and Ussop was still scared by Zeus' tough display and the fact he was a marine and they were pirates. "IT'S NAMI!" Nami yelled, as Zeus picked at his ear "Alright already jeez what's with you and screaming in other peoples ears?" Zoro laughed and said "Yeah seriously witch what's your problem?" Sanji interrupted "Hey Mosshead watch what you say to Nami-swan." Zoro looked at the cook and narrowed his eyes "Shut it Dartbrow." Zeus nearly spit out his water and coughed, Nami looked at him "Also why did you tell those cooks it was our Captain who put a whole in the roof?" Zeus looked at her and pointed at Sanji "How else do you think he's gonna convince Dartbrow over here to join your crew?" Zeus shook his head "God, you know you do people favors and they just don't appreciate em." Nami and the rest including Sanji we're speechless before Sanji bit his cigarette "As much as i'd love to be with Nami-swan for the rest of my days, i can't leave this restaurant." Zeus sighed and waved him off "Yea yea tell that to their Captain." before focusing on eating their food and ignoring them.

The Strawhats watched Zeus eat and we're strangely reminded of their Captain. Zeus looked up from his plate and asked "What never see a handsome guy before?" they all shouted "You're wearing a mask!" and Zeus just laughed "Shishishishishi What i cant be handsome with a mask on?" Nami curiously asked "Why are you even wearing a mask? Are you ugly?" Zeus got a little angry as he growled "No! I'm extremely handsome why does everybody always ask if i'm ugly?!" Nami giggled and said "Because you're wearing a mask if you're not ugly then why are you wearing it but i'm curious who's asked that." Zeus thought for a moment and replied " Almost every marine recruit and.." he trailed off and turned to Zoro and chuckled " a little girl named Rika at a bar in Shells town." earning a chuckle from Zoro as well "it was really funny actually she walked up to me asked me my name and if i was ugly" Zeus shook his head before turning to the redhead "and i didnt show her my face what makes you think i'll show you?" Nami thought before battling her eyelids seductively and trailing a finger on his chest blushing "Well if you show me maybe ill give you a surprise" she winked. Zeus looked at her and cursed her for being shameless before grinning "Alright before you have to kiss Sanji first." Nami face faulted and Sanji gave Zeus a thumbs up while grinning ear to ear. Nami turned to Sanji and thought about it before crossing her arms at her chest mumbling "Stupid dense bastard" to Sanji horror as he wilted and Zeus put a hand on his shoulder to console his new friend. "Ya win some, ya lose some champ. You'll get 'er next time." Zeus shifted his mask over and fished out his cigarettes under everyone's gaze and snapped his fingers to make a current to light it as he sat back and smoked.

"HEY YOU!Why did you eat all my food!?" Everybody at the table turned to Luffy who just came out of the kitchen. Zeus froze looking at his brother, it's been 10 years since he'd spoken to him, the little kid wasn't so little anymore. "Uhh.." Zeus didn't know what to say and started panicking, he looked around for help and found out everyone was looking at him Zeus pointed to Ussop "It was long nose! It wasn't me!" Ussop was shocked as he turned to Luffy meeting his glare "L-Luffy i-it wasn't me! I-I swear!" Luffy turned to look at everyone else before Zeus spoke again "You're looking for a cook right?"Luffy nodded and Zeus pointed to Sanji "This kid's the best cook in the east blue. Boom got you a cook now you owe me a meal how you gonna pay me back" Zeus spoke really quickly not giving anyone else a chance to interrupt as they all stared at his slaw jacked before Luffy looked around nervously and said "UHH I don't have any money just eat from this table okaygottagobye" before he ran back to bring food to other tables. Nami and the rest watched the whole thing happen and were amazed "How did you do that? He never shares food!" Nami said. Zeus pretended to think cursing that Gin guy for taking so damn long and eventually sighed, just as he was about to speak a BANG was heard and everybody turned to the doors to see a man with a gun "Give me food" he said. Zeus almost cried, his savior was here.
