One Piece: And The Original - Chapter 8

I sigh as I shake my head and surrender to the upcoming beating. While I just stay still and wait for the verdict, the other three idiots scream and run away.

“You’re not getting away!” Garp yells as he chases them into the forest with a fist raised high above his head. I slowly follow them, watching the carnage happen.

“I said wait!” Garp yells as he punches Luffy in the face. as Luffy is launched he grabs Ace by the arm and swings him at a nearby three.

“This old man is a monster!” Sabo mutters as he tries to hide in vain as Garp hears his words.

“Don’t you think about getting away idiot number 3!” Garp grins as he grabs Sabo in a headclam with his big hands.

After that’s was a heavy beating, leaving Sabo, Ace and Luffy dead on the ground.

“That’s all for today. Tomorrow I’m going to give an even harder workout! So don’t die on me now! BWAHAHAH!” Garp laughs as he walks towards me. I give a slight smile as we both walk towards an open plain.

“Now Jess, show me what you have learned over these 6 months” Garp says as he looks at me while urging me to make a stance.

I take a deep breath as I activate my Rinkaku and Ukaku. At the moment I can activate 2 Rinkaku while crystalizing my Ukaku.

Garp looks a bit surprised. “So you can combine them, but how strong are they when combined. Now show me what they can do! Come at me!” He yells as I launch myself toward him. While coming closer I shoot multiple shards at his legs. Immobilizing the enemy is a key point to defeat them when they are stronger than you.

Garp punches a shard with his hands and feels a slight sting. A little scratch appears on his hand where the shard made contact before shattering. “Interesting” Garp mutters as his hand now turns a slightly darker color. I try to shoot again, but this time there is no visible damage. Seeing the same plan won’t word I retract my Ukaku and switch to 5 Rinkaku. While training daily with different bandits and pirates I learned how to use an extra Rinkaku, however the time I can use is is limited as it drains my energy. I may have a body that recovers vastly, but if I don’t drink the recovery rate will go down.

I swing my 5 arms at Garp as he punches back at high speed. For a few minutes we are at stalemate, but this is broken when he grabs one of my kagune arms. Launching me against a big sturdy tree.

“…That hurts” I rub my head where I slight split had formed and blood oozed out. Garp walks up to me and wonders why I doesn’t heal as fast as it normally does.

“Jess, you’re not slacking off when looking after your health are you?” He asks me as his eyes pierce my conscience.

“…No” i mutter softly as I look at the trees behind him. But no matter how good my pokerface is, Garp can still read me like no other.

“You haven’t told them yet have you?” Garp looks at me while knowing the answer.

“I will when I find the right time, but not now” I say the latter softly, hoping Garp wouldn’t hear. They may be idiots, but they are my first friends in this world. Sabo may already know, but Luffy and Ace don’t. What did that player from my old life call me again? I think it was kudere and someone else called me a tsundere, though I didn’t like it, I couldn’t disagree. Seeing me lost in thought, Garp sighs and ruffles my hair. After that he gives me a little package.

“Happy birthday, now go and get those idiot three brothers and rest. We will talk again tomorrow” With those last lines Garp disappears inside the hut.

I look at the package and slowly tear the paper. Inside is a black bunny backpack. No matter how much older I get, bunnies are still my favorite. I smile as I walk towards the now conscious Ace and Sabo as Luffy just fell asleep.

“At this rate grabs is gonna kill us tomorrow” Ace wispers.

“Well probably just you three” I say while a yawn escapes my mouth.

“Even if we three survive, he will come after us again and again as long as we want to be pirates” Sabo says in a slight panic.

“I don’t wanna die!” Luffy yells. But Ace and Sabo where quick enough to cover his mouth before waking up the sleeping ‘guest’ downstairs.

“There is only one solution, Jess are you in or out?” Ace asks while looking at me hopefully.

The next morning Dadan wakes up and finds a little note hanging at the door:

Note:

Where moving out (ASLJ)

“Well nothing you can do. And Jess is with them, she will keep them in check” Garp yawns.

“Well see you next time, good luck on raising them. I’m expecting fine marines when I come back BWAHAHAHA!” Garp laughs as he walk down the mountain, leaving Dadan and the rest of the bandits in a bit of a pinch.

—————————————————————————————————————————————–

The four of us walk up the mountain as Luffy walks in front while happily singing a strange song about a goat.

“We successfully escaped” Luffy grins

Sabo looks back and says “Dadan and her gang didn’t chase us”

“They’re probably glad to be rid of us” Ace says while a sad look appears on his face, unbeknown to him.

“I think you might be surprised at the unexpected” I whisper while looking at the three with a slight smile on my face.

Knowing Dadan has a sweet side she doesn’t show when they where around. As we walk further rain drops begin the fall down the sky. We run to a hole in a big tree and wait for the rain to pass.

I can hear a lot of the bandits in the distance searching for us, but let’s not tell them, this is a learning moment for them. I look one more time at those three idiots faces as I close my eyes and try to get some sleep.

The next morning Sabo comes up to us saying he has found ‘the perfect place’.. Don’t know what ‘perfect place’ means, but let’s see for myself what he did this time.
