Who will it be? (One Piece ff)

21. The Captain of the Blood Pirates

My gaze follows the little one further and further. She's strong, there's no question about that. She is also smart. Maybe a little aggressive when it comes to the world aristocrats, but who can blame her?

Mihawk told me a lot as we stood here and watched her murder the world aristocrats and pardon the girl. For example, he told me that I am something of a role model for the little one. But the little one has never seen us in person. That's why she can't assign me. I noticed her inquiring and thoughtful gaze. How do you think she reacts when she learns who we are?

A slight grin creeps onto my lips. Unfortunately, I can't imagine her reaction, but it would certainly be interesting. Now I'm looking forward to seeing her face when she finds out.

Mihawk also explained to me that the crew of the Blood Pirates consists mainly of former slaves. There are also more former slaves and prisoners living on this island than ordinary people.

The island is really beautiful and also peaceful. I would never have dared to ever sit with navy soldiers and drink each other under the table. This is really a nice experience. I love this island very much. Maybe I should come here more often?..

"It's burning in your fingers, isn't it?" Mihawk's question pulls me out of my mind. "Huh? What is?" I answer him. I don't have a clue of what he wants from me. I was too deeply immersed in my thoughts for that.

"You want to see how Olivia regulates it with the crew from the bar, don't you?" he asks again. Of course, I don't miss his smile. "Yes, it makes me curious." I answer him honestly. "Well then come. I haven't seen it myself in a long time." he says as he walks forward to the bar. I don't think twice and follow him directly with Ben. Together we 3 sit down at the counter and watch the whole thing. Olivia's gaze is on us. "Really Dracule now?" asks the little woman. She sounds slightly annoyed. "Yes, I wanted to see it again and I also wanted to show my two acquaintances here how you handle it. You never know when the next opportunity will come." Mihawk replies skillfully. The gaze of the little ones glides over Ben and me. Your gaze is freezing cold. She has 2 different eye colors. One eye is bright blue and looks like a crystal when the sun is reflected in it. The other eye has a golden-yellow color. A strong contrast to the blue eye. Nevertheless, it looks incredibly beautiful. With her shoulder-length brown hair, her eyes come into their own beautifully.~ Wow. ~

Nevertheless, the cold look sends shivers down my spine!

"Then shut up and don't interfere!" she replies annoyed with a sigh and turns her attention back to the crew in front of her.

She's strong, I've seen that outside. Nevertheless, I am curious to see how she regulates this here.

"I heard her mobbing, annoying and harassing the other guests and staff of the bar. Furthermore, you bruise the colliery and destroy the facility. The rules of this island were explained to you when you laid out here, weren't they?" she asks innocently. It would be believable if you didn't see all the blood on her body.

"Who do you think you are?! We are pirates! Nobody tells us what to do and what not to do!" says the captain of the gang. "Captain.. We should really pay our debts and not act like that." says a simple crew member, trying to calm his captain down and bring him to his senses.

Olivia sighs. She seems to be annoyed.

"You will find out who I am soon enough. You may be pirates, but even as pirates, you have to abide by the rules of this island or you have to live with the consequences. Even the pirate emperors stick to the rules. Even a Vice Admiral like Garp sticks to it! And he's a stubborn old prick!" she replies clearly annoyed. So she knows Garp? Is he also here from time to time?

"What consequences?" asks a crew member, apparently the vice-president, when I look at them like this.

"It depends on whether you are insightful or not. Either you only get away with a warning or I have to convince you that you have to abide by the rules here." she replies. "Oh yes? Hahahahaha how are you going to teach us that?" asks the captain again. Olivia sighs again. She looks at him irritably and replies: "Captain Troi Brown. I know you and your crew. Your bounty is small, so I wouldn't hand you over to the Navy, it's not worth it. And just for your info Troi, the Navy is just out, to be precise there are Grand Admiral Sengoku and Admiral Kizaru. Oh and 4 corpses of world aristocrats are also out there and 9 shipwrecks of naval warships, because they didn't follow my rules either... To get back to your question: since I'm not going to deliver you and you're behaving so crappy, it's not just going to be a warning. Either I kill the captain of the crew, so you Troi, or I kill the whole crew. Because I am no longer satisfied with you paying the damage and the bill."

For a short time it is completely quiet. So they know what to expect. "W-Who are you?!" asks this Troi angrily and also fearfully. "I am captain of the Blood Pirates. This island belongs to me. I have set the rules. And I'm known as the 'Blood Blade Adams'." Olivia introduces herself. Even in this dark room you can clearly see how the blood runs out of their faces. You could call them walking corpses.

"Why do you all always have to push the boundaries?" she asks herself rather rhetorically. Shortly thereafter, she kicks one of the chairs and the whole ice breaks. "Get up and go out. There you wait." she says calmly. The command can still be clearly heard, but these idiots do not move. I would say that's a mistake. "Immediately!" she growls now and finally they start moving and run out. They almost roll over. "What are you going to do? Kill the captain or the whole crew?" asks Ben. She looks briefly at Ben and then back at the door. "It all depends on the answer to my next question." she says calmly and also leaves the bar. Mihawk, Ben and I follow her.

She has an incredible charisma. No wonder she is a captain. There are not many female captains.

The beach looks much tidier. The Navy is carrying the corpses of the World Aristocrats onto the ship and the now free slaves brought home by the Navy enter the Naval Warship.

There are also children on the road again, they are also on the edge, with their parents. "Do they pay?" asks Maria. "I don't want them to pay. I don't see that. They behaved too shitty for that. Their bounty is also too low. That's why I don't deliver them. At least not alive.. And with a simple warning, I won't let them get away with it. They were far too disrespectful for that, even for pirates." she explains calmly. Shortly afterwards you hear a unified 'idiot' from her crew. The words 'idiot' or 'imaginary assholes' can also be heard.

"So? What will it be? The captain? Or the whole crew?" Olivia asks the gang. Everyone else is quiet. A lot of people are watching. Her crew. The residents. Some beings like the shadow wolves. Even huge snakes are watching. Sengoku, Kizaru and some navy officers and soldiers as well. And also other pirate crews currently present. Everyone is eagerly awaiting the answer of this asked crew.

After only a few minutes, some, almost all, crew members shout that the captain should be killed and the others had done nothing. Olivia, on the other hand, sighs and her crew shakes their heads. "Wrong answer." comes almost synchronously from the children and the residents.

A few moments later, the captain and almost all crew members overturn. There is blood running out of their mouth.

"I would say they are death." I say coolly. Mihawk just rolls his eyes and my crew starts smiling. "But why didn't you kill everyone?" I ask Olivia now. "It's simple. She left alive those who tried to bring their captain to his senses. They also kept their mouths shut and did not say who should die. Because they have already finished with their lives through the actions of their captain." Mihawk explains to me. I nod understandingly and look at Olivia again. She is talking to the people who are still alive.

"They now get the same chance as the former slaves and prisoners." Jimmy explains calmly. "There are more and more. Isn't the space running out?" I ask calmly. "No. That's what we have the agreement for." replies a deep voice from the right side. I look in the direction and discover a large, black wolf with blood-red eyes staring at me. I freeze briefly. That view. How long has he been watching me? Who is this? How strong is it? It takes a few moments until I catch myself again. "Who are you?" I ask calmly. "I listen to the name Diabolo and I am the leader of the shadow wolves. My pack and I work with Scarlett. Therefore, we help her when she needs more space. It's a steady give and take." the wolf answers calmly. "Scarlett? Who is that?" I ask confusedly. Yes, I just completely ignored the rest of the statement.

"Her." the wolf replies quite relaxed and points to Olivia. Uhhhhh???

Does she now have multiple names or what? What is her real name?

"You should stop thinking snot spoons. Otherwise you only get a headache." I hear a voice that is all too familiar. Whitebeard. "Just says the right one. What are you doing here old man?" I ask.

"I'll explain that to you guys." he says and calmly explains to me how he met Olivia and what has happened so far. However, he also conceals something from me and this has to do with Olivia. She probably told him something about herself that he is not allowed to say any further. Of course, this makes me curious. Sooner or later I have to ask them myself. ~

Another chapter from Shanks' point of view.

The next one is again from Olivia's point of view.
