One Piece: Rise of the Pirate Queen

Last time one One Piece: Rise of the Pirate Queen, with the crew reaching Sandy Island and it's capital, the Hurricane crew met with the queen and king as well as their daughter, Titi, and Mika's brothers, Ace and Sabo. Unfortunately, the three young kids were kidnapped by a mysterious group. Now with the Hurricane crew, the marines aided by the Royal Army, the mysterious group, and  one of Capone's squads converging to one spot. What will be the outcome of these four parties meeting?

Identities Revealed
The Seven Deadly Mercenary Group
Appears

"Your highness," The guard walked up to the young queen who was staring out into the distance the direction where both the Hurricane crew and the marine's transport, Corporal, carrying both marines and the Royal Army, left to chase after the mysterious kidnappers. The blue-haired queen turned towards the guard, looking rather tired and worried. "you should really rest up."

"I know" nodded the queen but turned back towards the horizon. "but I can't help but worry for them."

"Please Vivi," The queen turned to see Pell flying down from the sky as he landed next to the guard. "We have everyone working on rescuing Titi. Please come and sit down."

"I'm sorry, I just can't-"

"Biii Riii bi!" The three heard a distinctive bird call causing them to turn to see Biri flying through the sky towards the queen landing next to them with a salute. "Biii!"

"Biri? Your back." said Vivi in surprise having forgotten about her sent letter.

"Bi bi." Biri pointed to his barrel. Vivi approached the electrical bird and opened his barrel taking the letter out of the barrel.

"What is it Vivi." asked Pell as the queen opened the letter from her old friends.

Dear Mrs Wednesday,

I have to write this quick, we are kinda between a rock and a hard place at the moment.

I'm sure Princess will take the news rather well, I'm more worried about those two. Please try to tell them gently.

I'm sorry that we couldn't tell them in person, we just been so busy between visits with the admiral after us 24/7.

Tell Princess and Twins~~~~~~~~

"That's odd?"

"What is it Vivi?" asked Pell as he saw the queen look confusedly at the letter.

"Nami couldn't finish her letter, but she sent it anyways." said Vivi as she showed the second-in-command of the Royal Army. Pell read over the letter, finding just as odd. Vivi then turned to Biri who seemed quite tuckered out.

"Biri was the crew in trouble?" asked Vivi as she bent down to Biri's sitting down height. The bird tiredly gave a nod which worried the queen.

"Bi bi biri bi."

The previous day

"Give up Straw Hats!" shouted the booming voice of the commanding marine of a fleet of marine battleships all surrounding the much smaller Thousand Sunny. "Today's the day the Pirate King falls from his throne."

"Never! Baka!" laughed the Pirate King with a grin from the head of the Sunny. The crew looked onto the fleet, rather unimpressed, as each readied to block or attack when the cannons fired.

"Seriously, you only wanted to go this way so you could fight." sighed Nami with her Sorcery Clima-Tact in hand . She knew full well that her husband-in-secret would try something so reckless. She could only hope her daughter and sons weren't doing the same. Though she doubt it.

"Come on, Nami." Nami turned to the first-mate of the Straw Hats, grinning with eagerness, as he looked out onto the marine battleships. "We've face worst, this is almost like clockwork."

"Unfortunately." sighed Nami hoping for a bit more of a break.

"We're ready with the cannon! Straw Hat!" shouted Franky over the Transponder snail.

"Yosh! Ready Usopp!" called Luffy knowing Usopp was just under him in the Sunny's head.

"Hai! Luffy!" shouted Usopp as he took aim at the battleships.

"Prepare to fire!" ordered the head marine as all the battleships took aim of the much smaller ship.

"Go Usopp!" shouted Luffy cheerfully.

"Goal-"

"Fir-"

"Biiiiriiiiiii!" With a loud squawk that echoed passed the battleships, the crew immediately recognized the call as Biri, their former messenger bird. Looking towards their back, Biri came flying through the marine ships distracting the marines as they marveled at the weird bird flying in low towards the Sunny. Hearing the bird, Usopp halted the firing process and ran out as the crew looked over to Biri coming in for a landing.

"That bird?" questioned the high ranking marine having seen the bird several times before.

"Biri?" questioned Usopp as the bird landed on the grassy deck.

"What are you doing here Biri?" asked Chopper as he approached his fellow animal.

"Bi bi." said Biri as he pointed to his barrel. Chopper, understanding the bird's speak, opened the barrel and took the letter out.

"Ah! It's from Vivi!" gasped Chopper with a surprised jump. The crew's eyes widen, except Brook because he has no eyes ("Because I'm dead. Yohohoho! Skull Joke!"), as Chopper handed the letter to Nami. Feeling a bit worried, Nami quickly read over Vivi's letter.

"Dammit." said Nami frustrated as she ran up to her study.

"Nami what is it?" asked Robin generally curious of the letter. Nami stopped addressing the crew quietly.

"Princess is meeting her brothers." The crew's eyes widen once again hearing that their favorite rookie pirate was meeting her twin brothers for the first time. "And we forgot to tell her."

"Can you blame us." stated Zoro rather disturbed. "Every time we see them, we have some high-ranking marine on our asses."

"Sir! The pirates are distracted should we-"

"Do not fire until commanded lieutenant." stated the marine officer as he stopped the lower classed marine's idea.

"But sir! We can-"

"I am in command here lieutenant, so follow my orders." growled the marine officer sternly, almost threateningly, scaring the lieutenant.

"H-H-Hai sir!" saluted the lower ranked marine.

"Message the other boats to have gunmen aimed for that bird." interrupting the lieutenant again, the marine officer pointed to the yellow bird taking a rest as the crew talked amongst themselves. "I want to see who their messaging."

"Hai sir." saluted the lieutenant as he ran to communications to relay the message.

"Ugh, she probably thinks were terrible parents." sighed Nami as she pulled out a piece of paper and pen and started writing.

"No way!" grinned Luffy jumping down from the Sunny's head and walking up to Nami. "I bet she'll be exci-"

***WHOOOOOOOOOOOO***

***SPLASH/BOOM***

"Ahhh!" screamed the crew as the cannon hit the water to the Sunny's side.

"Who fired!" yelled the marine officer angrily looking back at his men.

"NO! I said apprehend the bird! Not the crew!" shouted the lieutenant through the Transponder snail to the boat that fired.

"Dammit! This will have to do." stated Nami as she abruptly finished her letter and placed it in Biri's barrel. "Go Biri!"

"Bi Ri!" saluted the bird quickly. Biri started to take off, when suddenly gun fire was fired all pointed at Biri.

"Ahh! Biri!" screamed the crew, minus Robin though equally worried, seeing their animal friend under fire.

"Protect Biri!" ordered Luffy pointing to their bird friend.

"Oi! Leave Bird Bro alone! Chicken Voyage!" shouted Franky as he activated Sunny's mane fan as it blew the crew backwards towards Biri and the battleships behind them.

"Fire on the Straw Hat!" commanded the marine officer. The marines frantically got to work relaying the new commands. Suddenly the battleships fired on the Sunny luckily missing the moving ship.

"Gear Third." Luffy jumped from the Sunny as the neared the closet battleship. He bit into his thumb, blowing air into his body expanding his arm to the size of a giant. In mid-air, Luffy looked over to Biri gaining air. "Go Biri!"

"Bi Ri!" nodded the bird as he skyrocketed upwards. Luffy smiled as he continued his attack.

"Gum Gum Giant Pistol!" shouted Luffy as he threw his giant-sized fist at the marine battleship instantly crushing it.

"Grr, attack the Straw Hats!" ordered the marine officer with a frustrated growl causing the battleships to move forward. At the same time, the marine officer's form soon took a smoky appearance as he suddenly flew off his ship towards the Sunny.

"Straw Hat!" growled Admiral Smoker as he flew straight for the falling pirate captain. Luffy saw the smoke man coming and smirked.

"Hey Smoky." Luffy the turned towards the oncoming marine readying a haki infused punch. Biri turned to see his former crew as they did battle protecting him as he went to deliver their reply.

Present: Port of Ruins

The Port of Ruins was a once prosperous, river port back in the ancient days of the Alabasta kingdom. However, during an ancient civil war, the city was devastated during the war leaving it uninhabitable for hundreds of years. No one knew why they never reclaimed the port, most likely because Nanohana was built sometime later making trade outside the kingdom easier. Even now, the town remains empty and lifeless. However, now it will get its first visitors in years.

"Man, what a dump." stated the one named Greed as he stepped out of the Accellegator looking onto the ruins with a joking smile.

"They're ruins, Greed. What do you expect." stated the plump hooded man was he brought out the bags with the kids in it.

"I don't know, maybe some gold, treasures, something of value." stated Greed as he kicked up a bit of sand, maybe hoping to find something.

"You really are greedy." stated the female stepping out of the gator. "You know we may be codenamed like the Seven, it doesn't mean we should act on it."

"What? It's not like any of you weren't thinking about it at first." The group looked at their partner with a vacant expression not falling for his excuse.

"I wish I could have such dreams of riches." sighed the one codenamed Envy getting depressed as he carried the bigger bag. The female codenamed Lust looked at the skinny with a sweat-drop being proved wrong.

"Anyone got a sandwich?" asked the plump man curiously.

"..................." Greed snickered at the Lust's predicament while she glared daggers at Greed with an embarrassed blush.

"Whatever!"

"Mika's gonna kick your butt when she gets here!" shouted Titi from inside the bag as the plump man place her with the other two.

"Yeah! Her and her crew!" said one of the twins as he ruffled his bag. The group looked at the kids confused hearing the word crew.

"Crew? " questioned Lust as she walked over to the bags loosening the strings allowing the one of the twin's head to pop up.

"Yeah! The Hurricane crew!" shouted Titi proudly.

"The Hurricane crew? The crew we slightly impersonated?"

"Yeah! You guys got nothing on them." stated the twin with confidence accompanied with a glare at the women. The women seemed taken back by the glare and left the boy doing the same for the other two kids.

"If you guys realize your mistake, I bet they won't kick your asses to hard!" shouted Titi as her head popped up trying to attack the women. It failed, having the women predicted the action. As the princess glared daggers at the women, she released the next bag allowing the other twin to see. However, he was asleep.

"Ace!" shouted Titi looking disbelievingly at the twin.

"What?" However, the sleeping twin was not Ace, but rather Sabo. Titi turned to the older twin who seemed to have a slight blush.

"Ace?"

"......Hey guys." said the mono-toned Sloth as he pointed towards the sky. The group looked up to see, a crow flying towards the group carrying a message in his talons.

"It must be Wrath." stated Greed as he stuck his arm out allowing the crow to land. Envy picked up the dropped message and read it over.

"Uh guys," The group looked over to the skinny man as well as the two wide awake gaining their attention. "We're about to have visitors."

"Who exactly?" asked Lust curiously as she walked over to Envy to read the letter.

"From the joint marine-Royal Army coalition," stated Envy rather calmly until he finished reading the letter becoming rather nervous.

"What?" asked Greed as he joined in trying to read the letter.

"And the Hurricane Pirates."

"What!" shouted the group even the one named Sloth was surprised.

"I told you!" shouted Ace victoriously. Titi looked onto the twin rather surprised that he was so confident in his sister's crew.

"Why are pirates coming here?!" freaked Lust as she stepped back a bit.

"What was their captain's name again." asked the plump man as he brought out a large stack of papers all bounty posters.

"Mika!" shouted Ace and Titi informative. Both turned to each other shocked that both spoke up, Titi even more so of Ace.

"Ah, here she is." stated the plump man as he showed Mika's poster. "It says here she only has a bounty of 32 million."

"Oh phew." breathed Lust in relief. "I thought we be in real trouble."

"Hey don't talk about-" Ace stopped, seeing Titi shake her head no remembering what her mother said. "Mika that way."

"Please." shrugged Greed as he approached the kids looking them in their faces. "All seven of us have taken down men with bounties with at least 63 million before and the leader with one of 110 million."

"No way!" gasped the two kids in shock.

"I think we'll be find." smirked Greed as he walked away from the kids and relaxed against a slab.

"Hey, what's a Super Spot-Billed Duck Squad?" asked Envy as he pointed to the word on the letter.

"................."

"Sloth!"

"......They are one of the fastest modes of transportation. Mainly used by the army. The queen herself has her own personal one named Carue, its fastest member."

"And how long would you say it would take them from Alubarna to reach here?" asked Envy rather worried.

"...................."

"Stop Doing That!"

".........The gators got us here in an hour and a half. And the ducks go even faster then them, so an hour or half that. Why?" As the group looked over to Envy rather curious about why he asked, the man was already looking out towards where they came from looking through a spyglass.

"Envy?" asked the plump man concerned. Envy brought the spyglass down and looked over to his partners looking frightened.

"There Coming!"

"There's the ruins!" shouted Ty pointing to the ever growing ruins near the river. Behind him, Lena brought up a spyglass looking ahead towards the ruins.

"Yep!" smiled Lena as she brought down the spyglass speaking to crew. "That's them! And it looks like they're expecting us."

"Really?" questioned Ryuudo rather surprised. Lena nodded her head.

"How can that be?" asked Nicole confused.

"Who cares!" The crew looked at their captain who seemed to be gaining speed as she looked determinedly onto the ruins knowing the kidnappers were there. "Let's kick there ass! Let's go Carue!"

"Kaaaa!" The bird then went into overdrive as they left her crew and guide in the dust.

"Mika!" called out Nicole worriedly.

"She'll be fine Nicolette." Nicole turned to see Nore ride up next to her. "After all, she's fighting for family."

"And as her crew they're ours as well." The looked up towards Akio who seemed as determined as their captain. "Let's not fall behind! Hiya!"

"Right!" smiled the crew. All the ducks soon picked up the speed following behind the captain. Ty, however, seemed rather hesitant to pick up speed but did so anyway.

"The Hell!" freaked Greed as he looked through the spyglass pushing Envy to the side. "Those guys are the queen's guest from earlier!"

"Eh? What do you mean?!" shouted Lust as she looked through the spyglass only to find the man was right. "They're pirates!"

"Damn." muttered the plump man looking somewhat worried. "Our employers aren't here yet. "We've gotta hold them off!"

"When are they suppose to be here!" shouted Lust frantically.

"................."

"Not Helping!"

"......Noon." said Sloth as he looked at a nearby shadow working as a sun dial. "Maybe thirty minutes."

"We'll just have to fight!" stated Greed throwing both the spyglass and Envy to the side. "Sloth. Lust, take the kids and guy towards the river. That's where they said they be coming from."

"Got it!" nodded Lust while Sloth nodded and picked up the two of the kids and the man. Lust took Titi and the two ran further into the ruins.

"And we'll stay here and fight." stated Greed to the remaining two.

Back at the palace

"Here." said Vivi as she brought a blow of water to the extremely tired Biri.

"Ri biri." bowed the bird in thanks as Vivi placed the bowl in front of him. He then greedily starting drinking the water while Vivi went to address the with the her husband, father, former guardian, and second-in-command of the Royal Army in the throne room. While they talked about what to do, Biri finally lifted his head in satisfaction. He then started looking around for Mika and the rest of the crew. He only sniffed one scent nearby, Biri lifted himself up and began walking out of the throne room.

"Let's just hope that giant elephant is too tired to reach them in time or else we won't be able to protect Mika and her crew." stated Kohza grimly.

"And Luffy and Nami will be furious if they hear Mika got captured." sighed Vivi knowing full well that the crew would destroy the whole marine organization to get her back.

"Your highness." spoke up Pell gaining the attention of the queen. The falcon man pointed towards the entrance showing Biri leaving the room.

"Biri?" Vivi accused herself from the group and followed the yellow bird into the hallway. After several twist and turns, Biri found who he was looking for.

"Biri!" waved Biri happily seeing Drake, who was still staring into space. Getting no response, Biri got a bit frustrated and walked up to Drake starting to peck at his leg.

"Biri, Drake's kinda..." But Biri did not silence as his pecking got faster and stronger. Vivi found it rather funny despite how frustrated the bird was.

"Biri, that's not gonna wor-"

"Biriiiiiiiiii!" Suddenly, the bird lit up in electricity blinding Vivi. Though blinded, Vivi heard the scream of what she expected to be Drake. As she tried to look, she found herself correct as Drake was being shocked by the bird. Eventually, the bird stopped and Drake lay on the ground charred.

"Ah! Biri, you shouldn't have-"

"What the hell! Biri!" The queen was shocked to see Drake, active and wide-eyed, yelling at the bird furiously. "I was just about to rescue her when you-"

"Drake!" Drake halted in his speech seeing the queen speaking to him.

"Yo! Hello,your highness." said Drake slightly fazed seeing the queen. He looked around seeing his surroundings finding it very different from when he could last remember. "Uh, what happened?"

Back at the ruins

"So~" said Envy as he laid bored on the ground waiting for the pirates to reach them. "where are they?"

"Shut up! I'm not so good with distance and time." stated Greed also bored.

"Can we take these stupid covers off." complained the plump man motioning to his cover he was wearing. "I'm dying in this heat."

"I don't know, the boss said that we should-"

"AHHHHHHH~!" The three kidnappers jumped in the air as Mika riding on Carue came racing through the ruins and past them.

"What the!" shouted Greed and he looked over to see the girl continue into the ruins. "Wait! Weren't there more-"

"Watch out!" Greed turned to be met with a fist from Akio sending him into the ruins. Envy and the plump man turned seeing the crew and guard come running in behind.

"Eh, eh, stop them!" shouted Envy with a stutter taking over for Greed. The plump man nodded as he pulled a string revealing a rope trip wire.

"Watch out!" warned Nore as his, Nicole, and Ty's ride jumped over the wire while the others halted.

"Ah! They got through!" freaked Envy while the plump man just picked himself up to follow.

"Guys!" shouted Nicole as she halted her duck looking back at the others.

"Keep going!" shouted Ryuudo as he slide off the duck and ran after the plump man.

"We'll handle these guys." smirked Lena as she followed behind armed and ready. Nicole nodded and motioned her duck to keep moving.

"Ahh!" screamed Envy as he ran towards where Greed was.

"Damn! Why are they so fast." huffed the plump man unable to keep up. He soon heard foot stomps as he turned to see Ryuudo coming in for a punch. As Ryuudo swung, a huge piece of rock came flying at him. Ryuudo stopped and jumped back avoiding the rock. As the dust cleared, the Greed stood unscratched though his clothing was ripped and torn staring daggers at the half-Fishmen.

"You are so dead." stated Greed in angry as his hood fell off.

"Huh! It's you!" shouted Ryuudo shocked. With Greed's hood fallen off, it revealed his face fully. "Don!"

"Well, there goes the secret." smirked Don/Greed smugly as he tore off the remaining of his cloak. Underneath it, was a skin-tight black sleeveless shirt with matching skin-tight latex pants.

"Wait! You're that guard that tired to flirt with us!" stated Lena as she finally ran up next to Ryuudo seeing Don/Greed.

"You can call me Greed, dear flower. Former guard for the Alabasta Royal Army and member of the infamous SDM Group" bowed humbly the black, spiky, haired man.

"SDM Group?" questioned both Ryuudo and Lena never hearing the name before.

"The Seven Deadly Mercenary Group."

"Finally!" The two Hurricane nakama turned to see the plump man discarding his cloak revealing a white chef shirt with blue striped pants. "I thought I was going to die!"

"Who are you?" asked Lena not able to recognize the plump man. Ryuudo also seemed stumped, not recalling ever seeing him.

"Well, I was formally Zeichi, chef at the palace, codenamed Gluttony." stated Zeichi/Gluttony as he looked at the two.

"And though he won't show himself," continued Don/Greed grabbing the two's attention. "The scaredy guy is Arkan, also a former guard and codenamed Envy."

"What the hell!" shouted Ryuudo confused that all the guys were once part of the kingdom's staff.

"You're one to talk." stated Don/Greed pointing to the two nakama. "How does the queen know a bunch of rookie pirates!?"

"It's a long story, that you are never gonna her." stated Lena as he cocked her pistols aiming for both men.

Further into the ruins

"You think the others are fighting already?" asked Lust bored out of her mind as the two sat near the river edge in the shade next to the kidnapped.

"..................."

"I hope so, I really don't want to face-"

"AHHHHHHHH~!" The two jumped as they heard Mika's battle cry throughout the ruins instantly scaring the two kidnappers.

"Huh? What." groggily said Sabo as he woke hearing his sister's scream. He looked around seeing the odd situation he was in then turned to his brother and friend. "Uh~, what happened?"

"Now You Wake Up!" shouted the kids frustrated at Sabos amazing ability to sleep through almost anything.

"Mika! I heard something this way!" shouted the voice of Akio most likely hearing the kids' shouts.

"Yosh!" roared Mika hopefully turning around.

"Ah! They're going to find us!" freaked Lust as she shook Sloth violently by his collar.

"Mika! We're Over Here!" Lust stopped shaking Sloth hearing the kids calling over the crew.

"Ahhh! Shut up!" Lust instantly went to quieted the kids by covering her mouth. However, she couldn't cover all of them. Taking advantage of the situation, Sabo shot up into Lust's stomach forcing her to back into Sloth.

"Over Here!" shouted the kids once again. Immediately, one of the birds came running out of the nearby road and stopped seeing the group.

"Are you alright?" asked Ty as he stepped off the bird and ran in their direction.

"Ty!" gasped the kids happily. However, Ty did not stop at the kids, but continued past them to the two kidnappers. The kids smiles faded as they beheld the guard helping their kidnappers. "What?"

"Yeah, I'm fine Wrath." muttered Lust as she took the guards hand to help herself up. Again, the kids gasped as Lust hood had fallen back.

"N-Nela." The pink-haired women froze as looked wide-eyed at the children calling her by her name. All three of them had their mouths wide open, devastated to see their caretaker as their kidnapper. Nela/Lust couldn't bare to look at them as she turned away while Ty/Wrath helped Sloth.

"W-W-why?" Nela/Lust still kept her back to the kids as all the good memories together seemed instantly destroyed by this one moment.

"I'm......" Nela/Lust paused for moment unable to bare the kids probable growing hate for her. Tears started to form around her eyes, but let none of the kids see. ".....I'm sorry."

"You traitor!" Nela/Lust flinched hearing the angry shout of Ace. She honestly couldn't bare it. As Sloth picked himself up, he removed his hood revealing who he was.

"Y-Yoyo." The often quiet man nodded with a glum look on his face. As the three kids beheld these three people they found important in their life, all bonds of trust, love, and friendship broke as the kids went into denial.

"No. This can't be. You can't all-" hesitated Titi as tears formed in her eyes. While the men looked upon them rather uncaring, Nela/Lust still kept her back to them. "No. No. No. No. No. No. No. NO!"

"I'm so sorry." quietly cried Nela/Lust as she held herself tightly.

"Ace! Sabo! Titi!" From down the same road, Mika, Akio, Nicole, and Nore rushed into sight, quickly seeing the kids and kidnappers.

"Now it's time to pay you-" Mika froze as she looked over the scene more. There stood Ty and Yoyo, the kid's male caretaker, and pink-haired women with her back turned that was obviously the kid's female caretaker. It didn't take long to figure what was going on, even for Mika. The crew stared shocked at the former caretakers and guard as the kids seemed to be breaking down.

"What's going on?" asked Nicole hesitant and worried of the situation. Nela/Lust finally turned around keeping her eyes away from the kids as she stepped forward.

"We are seven mercenaries that are skilled in infiltration and getting the job down in silence. We each go by a codename from one of the deadly sins that plague mankind. Lust." Nela/Lust put her hand over herself.

"Wrath." She waved to Ty/Wrath. "Sloth." She moved her hand pointing to Yoyo. "Greed, Envy, Gluttony, and-"

"Pride." The crew turned as a new gruff voice entered the conversation. The crew turned to see a muscly large hooded male crossing his abnormally large and hairy arms as he looked onto the pirates. The man was currently wearing a white short sleeved shirt with desert camo-pants with combat boots.

"We are the SDM Group: Seven Deadly Mercenary Group. Under hire by Cadrid for capture and delivery of one Princess Titi and friends Ace, Sabo to be used as bargaining for whatever Capone has planned." stated the large man flatly without a hint of care. As the wind blew his cloak behind him, an interesting feature waved along with it.

"A tail." said Akio rather interestedly to himself as looked onto the man.

"You are the Hurricane Pirates. Your captain, Mika, only has a bounty of 32 million. With a crew of what was formally thought a six now eight counting the bird." The looked at the man wide eyed as they were both amazed and stunned that he knew this information. "Crew power: Questionable. Reasons why they are here: Unknown as they have nothing to do with the royalty of Alabasta yet are here anyways."

"Yeah!" shouted Mika looking rather peeved by the man as she slipped off Carue and walked forward towards the one known as Pride. "What about it."

"Hmm, quite a lot of determination," smirked Pride as a feline like snout revealed itself. "I guess since you're rookies, it is only fair to warn you that we, as a group and separate, have taken down bounties much higher than yours. With me defeating a man with 110 million."

"Oh my!" gasped Nicole worriedly while both Akio and Nore kept their cool.

"So what." stated Mika without a care she continued to stare daggers at the feline like man. Pride looked interested at the young women, having yet to back down. Even the other members of the SDM Group were surprised at her unwavering attitude. Meanwhile, the children stared at past the crew and at Mika truly amazed at how their family wasn't backing down. "I'm going to beat the Pirate King."

"Ah, an impossible goal. Much like any other rookie pirate."  chuckled Pride mocking the captain's dream.

"Are you the CDS's leader?" asked Mika quickly mistaking what the group name was. The man only chuckled.

"SDM. And yes, I am."

"Then you're the one that needs to know his place." stated Mika seriously as she grabbed her sword, Inazuma Akuma, and unsheathed it ready to fight.

"You can try 'Spark Fist'." toothily grinned Pride as he removed his hood revealing a long golden mane and a human-like lion face. "But I pride myself at being the best."

Hurricane Theater
Monster Tamer Mika!

"Mika and Magician 1st class Nicole were done recruiting monsters, and they finally made their way to Castle Coyote where Brock was." narrated Chibi Nicole as the scene opened up to a creepy, stereotypical castle in a dead forest at night.

"We're really here." grinned Chibi Mika as she looked on the castle with amazement. Suddenly the large castle doors opened shocking the group.

"The door's opening." stated Ogre Akio rather amused with the parlor trick.

"Looks like he wants us to come in." stated Chibi Mika still grinning.

"Let's go." said Chibi Nicole determinedly. The group nodded as they walked in following Chibi Mika's lead.

***SWING/BANG***

"Ahh!" However, as they reached the opened doors, they quickly closed on them, trapping them in between the doors.

"Biiiiriiii..." whined Biri-Z caught at the top.

"It suddenly closed on us!" loudly whined Centaur Lena caught under Biri-Z.

"That was a dirty trick." yelled Chibi Ryuudo angrily caught underneath Centaur Lena. Soon after, the door opened slightly opened wider letting the group in.

"Ow..." complained Chibi Mika with a large goose egg on her head next to an equally pained Ogre Akio.

"Heh, sorry. That door has trouble staying open." The group looked up to find a staircase leading up to the owner of the castle.

"He's Brock!" shouted Chibi Mika surprised looking upon Chibi Brock.

"That's right!" said Chibi Brock proudly with a wide grin. "I am Brock the awesomest werewolf."

"My address is Monster Canyon 6-2.  I love cooked lamb and beer. My hobby is reading, sailing, and fighting with my pack. And to shred weak people to death. And counting money." talked on Chibi Brock as he gave the group a tiring introduction.

"He's giving an introduction when nobody asked for one!" thought the whole group with a tired expression. "And it's taking forever!"

"And hunting around the forest." listed off Chibi Brock until he finally stopped. "That's right. I have one last thing to say. I'm not much of a talker."

"Eh?" said the whole group as all of them were on their knees tired of listening to the man talk on and on.

"N-Not much of a talker?" repeated Chibi Mika tiredly for the first time in this whole series.

"What a liar!" accused Centaur Lena frustratedly.

"To be continued." smiled Chibi Nicole as she looked at you, the reader.
