One Piece: Rise of the Pirate Queen

Last time on One Piece: Rise of the Pirate Queen. After landing on Pebble Shore Island and infiltrating Tony's base. Mika's crew found themselves separated by some of Tony's crew. Lucky, both Lena and Akio had successfully defeated their foes. Meanwhile, Mika faced against Tony himself.  With Nicole freeing herself, she joined Mika in finally finishing off  Tony sending him far away. With Tony's crew out of the picture what will happen to Mika and her crew now.

Decisions, Decisions. Destination: Cocoyashi Village!

"Oww! My whole body." moaned Tsukagi as he lifted himself from the pile of broken crates and whatever they contained. Trying his best to lift himself up, Tsukagi looked around to find no one in sight.

"Where the hell is that brat!?" growled Tsukagi with fury. He then tried to move, but found that his whole body wouldn't listen.

"Damn that brat!" yelled Tsukagi as he finally got himself steady. His success was soon cut short, when he heard the sounds of footsteps coming from the tunnel that he and the captain had previously ran down to escape. 'Dammit! Must be the marines!'

"Tsukagi!" yelled not a marine, but luckily one of his fellow crew mates as he entered the storage room. He was soon followed by a few other members of Tony's crew.

"Thank god! I almost thought the marines were here." relaxed Tsukagi as his crew mated came over to assist him.

"We're not out of the woods yet." stated the same crew member. "The Rep.'s crew freed the marines we had as hostages."

"What!" shouted Tsukagi in shock echoing through the tunnel. "Actually, I'm not surprised, they probably did it to save face."

"Sir?"

"Never mind." muttered Tsukagi. "What happen to Kincad?"

"He's unconscious, so we brought him onto the ship."

"Hmm, what about the captain or Swellow?"

"We haven't seen either one of them yet."

This was definitely troubling, without either one the crew would surely begin to fall even with just Tsukagi and Kincad. The men soon left the tunnel and entered the cavern-canal where most of the conscious crew members were gathering whatever supplies they could get and running the unconscious onto their boat. 'At least they're smart enough to realize when we need to leave fast'

"Do we have all the supplies we'll need."

"Yes!"

"Good! Prepare to sail!" commanded Tsukagi. Immediately, the entire conscious crew moved double time. Tsukagi was almost impressed, then he felt someone tap his shoulder.

"What do you nee-" said Tsukagi a bit peeved off as he turned around only to see a familiar face.

"Swellow?" Standing behind him was the crew's navigator as she stood alone with a blank expression. With the mentioning of her name, a few of the crew stopped to see for themselves if Swellow was here.

"I'm glad you made it, but where's the captain?" asked the first-mate, a question that many others were wondering as well.

"Tony was sent flying in a eastward direction being sent at an angle of forty-five degrees. If my math is correct then our captain should be still flying and will hopefully land on one of the islands about one-hundred miles east of here." spoke Swellow. She then made her way to the ship as all them men gave blank stares at her.

"YOU CAN TALK!"

Meanwhile outside the base.

"I can't believe you did the Spark Bazooka when you were clearly exhausted!" shouted Akio with his damaged gloves next to him, as he sat next to Mika, still casually laying on the ground.

"(YAWN!) It's not like you where any better." yawned Mika still a bit drowsy.

"She has a point." agreed Lena.

"Hm-pf. Whatever" grunted Akio knowing full well that this was a lost battle.

"Healing herbs that care for all, please grow for us to heal all." chanted Nicole. As commanded, herbs began growing right in front of her. She then preceded to pick said herbs. "Thank you!"

"Do you really have to chant to grow plants?" asked Akio curious about the older girl's power.

"No, but it makes me feel better when using my powers." said Nicole sweetly as she applied the herbs to some of Akio's wounds.

"I like it! It makes her sound mystical!" smiled Mika as she weakly acted like a wizard.

"Thanks, captain!" giggled Nicole as she moved to Mika and gave her a couple leaves different herb. "Here! Eat this, it helps in recovering energy."  

"Okay!" Mika then quickly grabbed the plant and ate with gusto.

"Whoa! Slow down there is plenty more." shouted Ryuudo while Nicole applied some of her herbs on Ryuudo's wounds.

"It's a side effect of using her spark powers" said Akio also taking a bite out of the same herb as Mika.

"Side affect?" asked everyone minus Mika and Akio.

"Mika needs a lot of calories to produce the sparks she creates." stated Akio. "If she uses up all the reserved energy she has her powers uses her own energy and she'll collapse from exhaustion."

"That explains her appetite earlier." commented Nicole now applying her herbs to Lena.

"And back at Shells Town." added Lena.

"And at my family's restaurant." second Toby.

"Do you have anymore?" asked Mika. Nicole giggled and nodded.

"Can you please grow some more." Immediately, the herb regrew its leaves as well as grow in size producing more leaves.

"Thank you!" thanked Mika as she launched herself at the plant and began to devour the leaves. Everyone sweat-dropped, minus Nicole, who kept giggling.

"Hey! Where's Tony?" asked Lena as she checked her surroundings. "At all our battles, the foe was unconscious on the floor." Mika and Nicole didn't answer, instead Mika pointed behind herself while still taking more leaves and Nicole pointed in the same direction.

"Eh?" said both Ryuudo and Lena in disbelief.

"Makes sense to me." said Akio

"Huh?"

"How'd you do that?" asked Toby in amazement. Mika stopped eating and turned to Toby to tell him of her battle.

"So what happens next?" asked Lena not interested in Mika's story.

"Well, first we need to return Toby back home." smiled Akio.

"Oh, yes!" said Nicole. "We must return him, and I want to thank the village for letting me stay with them."

"We're leaving?" questioned Ryuudo raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah! I'm joining Mika's crew." smiled Nicole.

"Eh!" shouted the three teens in surprise.

"Oh, yeah!" said Mika finishing her story with Toby. "I asked Nicole to join our crew as our cook."

"Cool! We're getting a cook!" said Lena childishly.

"Welcome aboard, I'm Akio." greeted Akio as he extended his hand to shake Nicole's.

"And I'm Selena or Lena for short." followed Lena as she did the same.

'Hi! I'm Nicolette Kichida, but everyone likes to call me Nicole." smiled Nicole as she greeted her new nakama.

"Yosh! Now let's go get that chicken special that Toby's mom makes." exclaimed Mika as she stood up and began walking in a random direction.

"Town's That Way!" yelled Lena as she pointed towards the opposite direction of wear Mika was going.

Everyone had a good laugh as Mika immediately changed directions to where Lena was pointing. With the short cut, a.k.a the tunnel into Tony's base, closed off from the tunnel collapsing, the group had to take the long way around, which was hard on Ryuudo whose movements were somewhat restricted. Eventually, they made their way to the opening to the cavern-canal finding it completely void of Tony's crew. No one questioned their whereabouts and used the bridge that had connected to the two sides of the canal, not before they had checked a few rooms before hand. After that it was a simple walk back to Little Town.

"Mom!" shouted Toby as he and his group walked into his family's restaurant. "I'm home!"

"Oh! My little boy!" pounced a distressed mother as she hugged her son to death. "Where have you been! I've been worried sick about you!"

"It's okay mom, I just helped my new friends." smiled Toby.

"New friends?" she then released her son and looked at the other people.

"Hi!" said both Mika and Nicole while the others gave a smile and wave, minus Ryuudo.

"Nicole! Mika! What are you doing here?!"  

"We escaped and kicked Tony's ass!" laughed Mika.

"Wait! You defeated Tony?!" gasped Tony's mom.

"Yes, ma'am." said Ryuudo as he stepped forward. "Your town no longer has to worry about him or the Ship-Wrecker again." Soon a collective gasp was heard as the teens looked behind themselves to see the town crowded around.

"You mean..." said Toby's mom in realization.

"Yep your all....OOF!" Before Mika could finish she as well as the rest of her group were glomped by Toby's mother.

"Thank you!" cried Toby's mother. "Thank you so much!"

"Did you hear?"

"Tony's gone!"

"We're finally free!"

"Hurray, for Mika, Nicole and their group!"  All this and much more was said amongst the crowd as people began to cheer for Mika, Nicole and the others in their group.

"Let's party!" exclaimed Mika with excitement hoping to get the crowd to follow her idea.

"YEAH!"

"Wait! We don't have any money."

"Check the bags over there." stated Akio pointing to a pile of bags they left in the alley.

"It's all of our money!"

"LET'S CELEBRATE!" And so they did. With the town no longer in a state of poverty and now in a state of joy and happiness. The food was plentiful and drinks were ever flowing. Everyone celebrated, though let's take you to a more important setting.

"Your Ryuudo, correct?" said Toby's mother. She and Ryuudo were currently at the beach where Mika , Akio, and Lena had landed earlier in the day. She looked a bit worried.

"Yes, ma'am." said Ryuudo as he looked out to sea eating the food that he was able to grab.

"I would like to personal like to thank you." bowed Toby's mother in gratitude. Ryuudo seemed a little taken back.

"No, you don't have to thank me."

"Oh! But I do." said Toby's mother. "I know when we first met I was very distraught."

Ryuudo remembered very well of their first encounter. Nicole had asked him to come up and get his food as usual. Nicole had usual insisted on Ryuudo coming with her into town, but Ryuudo only thought of Nicole's happiness, which would not happen if they were seen together in public, as he believed. When he came for his dinner, he found none. Instead, he heard Nicole's distress and went into action. When he barged through the door he made both the owner and most of the crew scream in fright.

"But now I know that you were only trying to protect Nicole. So I would like to apologize for my rude actions."

"It's fine." said Ryuudo, though touched that she would apologize to him, but didn't want to show it. Toby's mother was grateful, though a bit sad feeling as though that she could do more. However, Ryuudo seemed focused on a thought, so she decided not to interrupt him. She then left him and headed back to the celebration.

"Oh! Excuse me." As Toby's mom went to the path the heads back to the village, she met with Nicole, who was traveling down away from the celebration.

"Oh, no! Pardon me." politely said Toby's mother as she moved to the side to allow Nicole through.

"Thank you." bowed Nicole in gratitude and went on her way towards Ryuudo.

"There you are Ryuudo!" said Nicole as she walked to the lonely figure on the beach. "Why are you here?"

"You now full well that I wouldn't fit in." said Ryuudo as Nicole took a seat right next to him.

"You really need to stop thinking the worst about people."

"They are a lot of people that don't particularly like my kind."

"I know, but there are lots of other people that don't mind."

"I'm just not sure." Soon a long awkward silence fell upon the two friends as both ate their food and stared out sea. It was minutes until one of them finally said something.

"I'm glad that you found a crew that will treat you right." muttered Ryuudo.

"Yeah, Mika is a really fun captain." smiled Nicole. "Even if she's a bit."

"Childish."

"Yeah, but she is a very caring person. Before the auction, she promised me that she would help rescue you." Ryuudo seemed a bit shocked to hear that Nicole cared for him that much.

"Well, she did in the end." smiled Ryuudo. "And so guess it's time for us to part."

"What!" gasped Nicole.

"I was only going to stay with you until you could find a crew that would treat you right, and you did. My job is done, it's time that I take my leave."

'But I don't want you to leave'. "Do you have to leave? You could join Mika's crew and follow your dream."

"There's no way that they'll accept me." said Ryuudo glumly.

"But you sounded like you had so much fun with Lena."

"I'm pretty sure that they only wanted to work with until they could get Mika."

'That's not true' "Can you at least stay to see me off." asked Nicole with hope in her eyes. Ryuudo couldn't refuse.

"Of course."

The next morning.

"Whoa! Is this our ship!" shouted Mika in amazement. The crew of four was now standing where Tony had hidden many of the ships that he had Ryuudo capture. There were many impressive ships lying on the coast, but only one was now theirs.

"Yep!" smiled Nicole as she waved towards the crews new ship. "Ryuudo actually made this on the island where I found him so I wouldn't get sick our have to drown. I would like to proudly present the Draco Bliss."

The ship, now known as the Draco Bliss, was a small compared to some of the others that lay around the coast, but definitely bigger than that fishing boat they had when they crashed on this island. The head of the ship, if no one has figured it out yet, was the head of a green smiling dragon. Under the head, was one cannon on each side nestled under the deck. It also had two portholes on both sides of the ship. It had two cabins both with two windows on each side, while one cabin had two doors facing the side the ship, the other had a single door facing the front. In front of the first cabin, was a small garden filled with dirt. (I'm tired of describing this ship go check my deviantart account: Hotspot0626. Or look for the ship under it's name.)

"Hhuh, not half bad." said Akio fairly impressed with the ship.

"Finally! I can get my own room!" shouted Lena with excitement.

"I'm sorry, but their aren't too many rooms, it was only built for a possibly small crew." apologized Nicole.

"Don't apologize, this is an awesome ship!" yelled Mika with the other two teens nodding in agreement.

"Alright, we all know the plan." stated Akio to the group.

"Yep, Nicole will bring the ship around while we grab our stuff." said Lena repeating the words that Akio had said earlier.

"But I want to sail the boat." whined Mika.

"No!" shouted Akio putting Mika's whining down.

"Alright guys, see you on the other side." waved Nicole as the other three teens left for there stuff.

"Ryuudo can you help me out?" smiled Nicole. Jumping out the water came the Fishman.

"How'd you know?" smiled Ryuudo already knowing the answer.

"You are easily predictable." smiled Nicole back. Both teens then made their way onto the ship to get the ship ready for departure.

Meanwhile after some minutes and back in town.

"Thanks for watching out stuff." thanked Mika as she had some of her bags in hand. "Oh! And for the dinner, that chicken was delicious!"

"It's no problem Ms. Mika." smiled Toby as he stood next to his mom.

"I'm glad you enjoyed it." smiled Toby's mother.

"Let's go, Mika!" yelled Lena as she and Akio were already some feet ahead of Mika.

"Alright! Bye Everyone!"

"Hold it right there miss.!" Before Mika could turn around to leave, the crowd of villagers turned then separated to reveal a group of marines, freaking out the three pirates that had yet to leave.

"W-w-what for?" nervously smiled Mika

"You, and your friends there, are wanted for questioning." stated the highest ranking officer in the group.

"On what charges." nervously asked Akio.

"For attacking a celestial representative and for possible charges of piracy."

"Well if that's all...." smiled Lena then in a flash pulled her gun out. "Smokescreen Bullet!"

***PHOOOSH***

"(cough)...(cough)... What the hell!" yelled the officer.

"RUN!" yelled Mika though smiling at the same time.

"Sorry for damages!" yelled Lena to the villagers, who were unfortunately caught in the smokescreen.

"Men! After them!" coughed the officer pointing towards running teens.

"Yes, sir!" yelled the other marines in unison and immediately took off for the escaping teens.

"Mom...(cough)...he have to...(cough)...help them!" coughed Toby while under his mother's protecting hug.

"It's okay, Toby." said Toby's mother in a caring tone. "They'll be fine, they have each other."

"Are they still behind us!?" yelled Mika now in front of the running group of teens.

"There way out of hearing distance!" yelled Akio looking behind the group to see only few white dots in the distance.

***BANG*** ***BANG***

"But their guns aren't" yelled Lena in a frustrated tone as she took two more shots of her own both being smokescreen bullets.

"What's with all the smoke!?" yelled Akio to Lena.

"Sorry I'm only prepared to escape not fight." shouted Lena.

"Great!"

"Shishishi! Hey! I see the coast and the Draco!" exclaimed Mika with excitement as she pointed to the nearing coast. Lena and Akio forward to see that Mika was right.

"Hey guys! What's the rush?" waved Nicole though curious as to why they were running."  

"No Time!" yelled Mika. "Can you make a bridge for us?!"

"Got it!" replied Nicole though bit lost.

"Trees of the island I ask to borrow your power once again, please form a bridge to aid my friends." And as commanded, giant tree roots sprouted from the ground and extended themselves across the water getting close enough to the Draco for a simple jump. The three teens reached the root bridge and quickly made their way up and across.

"YaHoo!"

"This is handy!"

"This crew is weird!"

"Alright! Let's set sail!" exclaimed Mika after the last one of her group landed.

"Hey! Where's Ryuudo?" asked Lena as she looked around.

"Down here guys!" shouted the voice of Ryuudo from off the boat. All the ship mates quickly ran towards where the voice came from and found Ryuudo swimming in the water.

"What-cha doing done there?" asked Akio.

"Just seeing Nicole off, as I promised." stated Ryuudo.

"Seeing her off?" questioned Mika "What are you talking about?"

"Nicole is in a crew I can trust, so she doesn't need my protection anymore." said Ryuudo with a bit of sadness.

"Seriously. What are you talking about?" questioned Akio confusing Ryuudo to no end.

"I just told you. Nicole..."

"But your part of the crew." said Mika interrupting Ryuudo as well as shocking him.

"Part of the crew?"

"Yeah!" smiled Mika.

"Your crew?"

"Yeah" said both Mika and Akio.

"But what about that  fact that I'm a..."

"Shut Up!" yelled Mika, Akio, and Lena interrupting Ryuudo again. "And Get Your Ass Up Here!"

Ryuudo was speechless. This crew had actually wanted him to join. He never even considered himself a pirate, then again, these guys weren't your normal crew. They were willing to accept a freak like him into their crew without even a second thought. He looked at Nicole for a bit of guidance, but only saw that she was smiling, probably out of the joy that her new nakama had asked her bodyguard/friend to join them. Then Ryuudo remembered something of great importance to him: his own dream. Taking a quick look at the boat, Ryuudo gave a sigh.

"The Draco Bliss probably won't survive a day in the Grand Line without my help." Nicole and Mika's smiles grew even bigger.

"Does that mean?"said Akio implying the obvious answer.

"You got yourself a shipwright!" shouted Ryuudo as he dove under water than shot right out and then landed on deck.

"Yosh! Now we got two new nakama! A chef and a shipwright!" exclaimed Mika with joy.

"Forget what I said earlier, this crew is definitely weird." groaned Lena predicting future troubles.

"The weirdest. Grahahaha" laughed Ryuudo.

"Alright everyone!" shout Mika gaining everyone's attention. "Man your positions, were heading for the Grand Line!"

"Not Yet!" yelled Akio comically.

"Huh? Why not?"

"Remember our navigator."

"Oh yeah!" realized Mika receiving sweat-drops from everyone, except Nicole who was giggling. "Change in plans! We're heading off for Cocoyashi Village!"

"Freeze!" shout a marine as the rest of the marines arrived on seen.

"Time to go!" shouted Lena as she ran to take the helm. "Which way am I heading, Akio!"

"West!" yelled Akio looking up from his map and pointing in said direction.

"Let's GOOOO!" yelled Mika from the head of the ship as the marines started firing at them.

An hour later.

"That was so cool!" exclaimed Mika as she recalled the days events as she relaxed against the front mast. "I bet I can get a bounty after that."

"Why would want a bounty?" asked Lena with an unconcerned look sitting against the cabin.

"Bigger the bounty, the more famous I'll be! Shishishi!" laughed Mika.

"Wouldn't it mean the more of a threat you would be?" questioned Lena to Mika's logic, but when she looked up to Mika she saw that she was daydreaming. 'Probably about being famous as her dad.'

"Just let her dream." shouted Akio, who had taken up the helm. "She'll realize it soon enough."

"Ooh!" gasped Mika grabbing everyone's attention. "We're not an official pirate crew yet!"

"What makes you say that?" asked Ryuudo wondering if there were guidelines or something.

"We need a flag!" Everyone immediately stopped thinking about other stuff and took in Mika's answer.

"She's right." agreed Nicole. "We definitely need a pirate flag if we're going to be big name pirates."

"Actually, I've been working on one for a while now." mentioned Akio as he handed the helm to Ryuudo and went for his bag.

"Tell me what you think." smiled Akio as he unfolded a black cloth until it reached full size. The crew looked upon it with a critical eye. It had a smiling skull with the usually crossbones, however, the lower left bone was gone. Circling around the skull's head was a crown with three points, two of them lower than the middle one. Flowing from the top of the skull was dark-brown hair that matched Mika's hair. For better look go to look at my profile picture or deviantart account)

"Do you wanna get beaten up." said Mika in a cold, threatening voice scaring Akio a bit.

"I like it." said Nicole with a smile. "It reminds me of the captain."

"Probably because Akio based it off her." said Lena viewing over the flag. "But it's definitely better than any of my ideas."

"What's with the crown?" asked Ryuudo.

"It matches her status." confidently said Akio even though Mika was dangerously static, literally.

"And that is?"

"Don't you say it Akio" growled Mika knowing full well what her childhood friend was about to say.

"A princess!" laughed Akio then immediately ran as Mika chased after him leaving their new nakama confused.

"Why does the word 'princess' make Mika so mad?" questioned Nicole having first hand experience in seeing Mika when someone uses that world.

"I'm not to sure myself, but I do know it is about heritage." said Lena implying some sort of hidden message.

"Heritage?" asked Ryuudo with a confused look.

"Actually," thought Lena out loud. "I don't think it's my place to tell you both."

"Then who would tell us?"

"Mika!" The irritated teen stopped her pursuit on her nakama and looked towards Lena. "Tell them about your family."

"Why?" asked Mika tilting her head. "We're going to see my aunt in Cocoyashi Village."

"What so special about an aunt in Cocoyashi Village?" asked Ryuudo.

"It's more about who she's related to." corrected Lena.

"And that would be?"

"Mika!" shouted Akio from a safe distance. "Just tell them about your parents!"

"Oh! Okay!" smiled Mika. She then forgot her goal to mangle Akio and walked to her two new nakama. "First off, my full name is Monkey D. Namika."

"Oh, what a nice name." cooed Nicole.

"Monkey?" repeated Ryuudo believing that he had heard the name before. "Wait! Monkey!? As in the Pirate King Monkey D. Luffy?!"

"Yep!" grinned Mika. "That's my dad!"

"Oh my!" gasped Nicole while covering her mouth in shock.

"Your HIS daughter!" shouted Ryuudo in shock. Mika only laughed at his expression while Akio believed it to be safe to join the group again. Lena only shook head.

"Welcome to the crew."

Meanwhile on a cruise ship in the East Blue.

"Yo! Don't worry, the stars are in your favor." He was about 6'2 tall, and he had short, brown hair with a blonde patch on the right side of his head, sky blue eyes, and a tan. He wore a white non-zipper type T-shirt hoodie with a blue dragon symbol wearing tan cargo shorts and sandals. "Or at least that's what may happen if you play your cards right."

"Who are you?" asked a younger man by the name Soren to the new arrival while his brother, Holden, examined the the older man carefully.

Soren didn't know who the new guy was, or what business he had, but, for some strange reason, he felt that he was going to help him and his brother find their other brother, Heathcliffe. However, there was still a small chance that this guy wasn't somebody they trusted. The boy had his hands hover over his newly acquired guns placed in their holsters on his hips. Was it out of instinct? Paranoia? Or impulse?

"I'm Drake. At your service." bowed the man to both brothers. 'Looks like that 'union' of stars are beginning to converge.'

TO BE CONTINUED...

Next time on One Piece: Rise of the Pirate Queen.

Mika: There it is!

???: Welcome back 'Princess' Mika.

Mika: Hey! Where's Drake?

???: Ah! We meet again you brat.

Lena: This is definitely gonna bite us in the ass when we get to Loguetown
