The twelfth supernova: Leah

Chapter 22

Leah, William, and the twins were making their way through the docks early in the morning. They looked around to see if anyone was available to either fix their ship or to build them a new one.

After talking with a couple of workers, they were directed towards a woman drinking a beer at the bar close to the docks. "Hey Gail, you really freaked out our clients yesterday when you lifted the mast." One of the workers told her in amusement.

"I know I saw their faces it was hilarious." She said laughing loudly before opening her mouth imitating the look of shock her customers had.

The croded bar started laughing. The bartender serving beers and chuckling along to the workers stories noticed the four pirates enter the bar. "Welcome, what can I get ya?" He greeted.

"Got any good ale or lagre?" Leah said excitedly.

"Focus captain we are trying to get a shipwright to either fix our ship or we by a ship that can sail the grandline!" William snaped at his captain.

"Oh, a job excellent!" Gail shouted waving them. "Have a seat and a drink and we can discuss business."

"Alright." Leah said grinning widely.

The four sat at the bar. Leah accepting ale from the barman. William, seeing the captain drinking, took charge of the discussion. "Our ship was made unable to sail, so we are looking for someone to either fix it or for a new ship that we hope can sail the Grand Line."

"That's a tall order you have there." Gail stated smiling brightly. "Even if I get a ship made that can sail the Grand Line you would still have to navigate your way through the obstacles."

"That's what I do." He said taking a sip of ale that was place in front of him.

"Alright!" she shouted getting up from the bar stool. "Let me check your ship and we'll go from there."

She put a few 1,000 belle bills on the counter. William placed his pint in front of his captain. "On her." He told the bartender.

Leah shrugged finishing her pint before starting to finish off her navigators pint. The twins were slowly drinking their pints. "What was the point of us being here?" Annie asked quickly.

Andy shrugged. "I don't know, the captain said, 'come with us' so we fallowed."

Back on the Slithering Snake, Atlanta was lifting a very large weight while Hon and Truffle were taking stock of their supplies in their respective areas of the ship. Atlanta was looking up at the sky from time to time. She took a deep breath before finishing her set.

After putting her weight away she went to the side of the ship to see William blushing deeply as a beautiful brown haired woman was striping to her underwear. Looking away quickly she waited until she heard a splash. She looked over to see William still stunned, blushing in a deep pink color. "William what the hell was that?" She asked in exacerbation.

"She is the shipwright that is taking a look at the ship." He answered bewildered.

"No, I mean why did she strip and dive into the water?" She yelled.

"I don't know." He said flustered. "She said that she was going to take a look and then stripped."

She sighed before noticing something alarming. "Where's the captain and the twins."

"At the bar." He said before his eyes widened in alarm. "I left them unsupervised!"

"Let me get Truffle and Had to supervise while you get our troublemakers back the ship before something happens." Atlanta ordered.

Atlanta went over to the door to the cabins only to see the Hon and Truffle enter the deck. "Oh, good we are to make sure the shipwright is doing her job while William is getting the captain and the twins from the bar." She said.

The two groaned. "Where is the shipwright?" Hon asked.

"According to William she striped down and jumped in the water." Atlanta answered.

"She what?" Truffle asked.

Atlanta was about to respond when she fainted with a bloody nose. Truffle and Hon looked at her in concerns, before hearing a creak behind them and turned around to see Gail only in her underwear. "Excuse me are you members of the crew on the ship?"

Truffle looked at Gail and instantly realized why the first mate fainted. The ship builder was gorgeous with a six and light muscles. She didn't feel romantically attracted to her, but that didn't stop her nose form bleeding.

Hon sighing and seeing their crewmates either unconscious or stunned decided to speak for the crew. "Yes, I am the doctor on board." They said. "I take it that the news is not good."

"No, I checked the rudder and It's unusable." She explained. "I also checked the hull, cracks are starting to form."

Hon sighed rubbing their head. "I was afraid you would bring bad news."

Hon continued rubbing their head in frustration when a light bulb went off above their head. "How did you check the hull?"

The craftswoman smirked. "You can probably figure it out."

In an unknown cave not far from the island of Jers, an army of 400 pirates were in a cave eating meager amount of food some starting to show signs of rot. The captain and his three lieutenants were in the captain's cabin. "Captain this plan is insane!" One of the lieutenants shouted. "There is no way this is going to work."

"What other choice do we have!" The captain bellowed out. "Our ships are enough to pillage a port and capturing the port is not what we are after."

"What are we after sir?" Another one of his lieutenants asked

"A shipwright from a family of shipwrights." He explained. "You might recognize her brother who built the ship Gold Roger commanded with her we can rebuild our armada and then we can get 10 million belles at an auction house."

He placed a photo of Gale in the center of the desk as they started grining.
