Chapter 111: CH 111
"FIRE FIST!" he cried out as he through a huge wave of fire at the ships, leaving all five of them nothing but charred splinters floating in the sea.
"ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?!" Usopp yelled out as they all looked on in shock. Luffy smiled while Ace tilted his hat up with a flaming finger before smirking.
-Back with Smoker and the marines-
Smoker and Tashigi were discussing about the Straw Hats not being in Nanohana, along with Smoker seeing Vivi with the Straw Hats. Tashigi thought that she was abducted for a ransom while Smoker thought otherwise as he saw her willingly go with them. "Something very strange is happening." Smoker said. "Can't figure out what though."
"Captain Smoker!" another marine said as he approached them before saluting. "Bad news sir! Mr. 11 was killed on board while we were all looking for the Straw Hats, which we haven't found yet."
"Cancel the search. I've got a good idea where they're going." Smoker said. "I'm pretty sure he's going after Crocodile." he said. Tashigi argued about this as Crocodile is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Smoker stated his disgust of the Seven Warlords before claiming Crocodile as the worst.
"But isn't he our ally?" Tashing asked.
"Crocodile may have fooled the higher ups, but not me." Smoker said. "If they think approving him and giving him freedom will make him obey, they're dead wrong. Remember this very well Tashigi. Once a pirate, always a pirate no matter what! Where ever Crocodile is, Straw Hat will be there, along with the answers as to what's happening here. He won't escape from me this time!"
-Back with Luffy's crew-
Luffy and his friends were celebrating before Luffy asked Ace to join them.
"Sorry Luffy, but I'm here on business." Ace said. "I'm looking for a pirate named Blackbeard." Luffy's eye twitched at that guy's name as some of them other crewmembers remembered Blackbeard's name from Drum Island. "He used to be one of my subordinates until he commited a unforgivable sin on our ship. He killed a crewmate, then jumped ship. I'm his commander, so I'm the one who must deal with him."
"So that's why you're here?" Usopp said.
"I've heard that Blackbeard's been spotted in Alabasta in a place called Yuba, so that's where I gotta go." Ace said.
"That's where we're going too! Right, Vivi?" Nami said.
"Right." Vivi said before bringing out a map and pointing to where they'd dock the ship and where Yuba was.
"Well what do you know?" Ace said. "Mind if I join you guys?" Ace asked.
"I'll follow the ladies here anywhere~!" Sanji said as he wiggled around like a noodle. "How about off a cliff?" Zoro said.
"WHAT'D YOU SAY?!" Sanji snarled.
"Knock it off!" Nami yelled. "Well Ace, looks like you'll be joining us for a little while." "It's great to have you on board Ace!" Usopp said.
"Welcome Big Bro Ace!" Johnny and Yosaku yelled.
"This is gonna be a blast!" Luffy said as he raised his mug. "TO ACE!"
"CHEERS!" they all yelled as they clinked their mugs together and drunk.
"Hey Luffy, now that we have a breather away from all those guys chasing us, how about some introductions? I'll go first." Ace said before looking at Luffy's crew. "Nice to meet you all. My name is Portgas D. Ace. Luffy's older brother and Second Division Commander." he said before bowing his head.
"Nice to meet you!" they all said before bowing as well before Luffy started introducing his crew.
"This is Zoro! He's my first mate and is aiming to be the World's Greatest Swordsman!"
"Nice to meet you." Zoro said as they shook hands before Luffy moved on.
"These two behind him are Johnny and Yosaku! They're swordsman too who look up to Zoro and wanna be badass swordsman like Zoro as well." "A bro of Luffy's is a bro of ours!" they said in unison as they shook each of Ace's hands.
"This is Nami and her big sister Nojiko! Nami's our navigator who loves money and tangerines. She also draws maps. And Nojiko here's helping her out."
"It's nice to meet you Ace." Nojiko said as they shook hands.
"It's still strange to think you two are brothers." Nami said. Both she and Ace smiled as they shook hands.
"It's strange, but true." Ace said.
"This guy here is Chopper! He's a reindeer, who's also a doctor, who also transforms into seven different froms! Isn't that awesome?!" Luffy exclaimed. "That does sound awesome!" Ace said.
"You two...complimenting me like isn't going to make me happy, so shut up you bastards~!" Chopper said as he danced around.
"Not good at hiding his emotions, is he?" Ace asked. They all just laughed before Luffy moved on.
"This is Sanji! He's our cook! He makes amazing food!"
"Is that all I am to you Luffy?" Sanji asked in irritation before looking at Ace with a small smile. "Still, he's right about me making great food."
"He also forgot to mention that you're a lovesick pervert." Zoro said. "YOU WANNA DIE MOSS HEAD!?" Sanji roared.
"Calm down!" Ace said as he held his hands up. "I'll have to try your food sometime." Ace said as they shook hands. "Any time you need a light, just ask."
"I'll remember that." Sanji said as he calmed down before Luffy continued.
