The Demon of the Sea(One Piece x Oc)

Chapter 52

The man seemingly responsibly for throwing Luffy into the water stands ready to fight those he says are trespassing on his land.

Zero: One of you get Luffy. This guy's mine.

Man: I know why you're here you're after my gold.

Zero rushes at the man who swings his leg but Zero jumps back. The man goes for a jab as Zero catches it easily.

Zero: You've got moves old timer.

The man pulls out a gun and shoots it right at Zero.

Chopper: ZERO!

As the smoke from the fire clears Zero shown fine.

Zero: You missed?

The man begins to fire rapidly at him to Zero dodges them like clockwork.

Zero: Are you sick or something you're aims garbage.

The mans hand starts to twitch til finally he lets go of the guns and collapses onto the ground seeming to be in pain. They take him into the house as Chopper treats him.

Luffy: So, this guy is sick huh?

Zero: Aww now I feel bad for fighting him.

Chopper: Yeah, Cassion Disease is an illness that sometimes effects divers. My guess is he kept diving everyday without allowing time for his body to recover and it finally caught up with him. That's why he passed out during the fight.

Nami: But why in the world did he do that?

Chopper: I don't know but he was taking a big risk. In some cases, Cassion Disease can cause death so he's lucky to be alive.

???/???: HEY OLD TIMER ARE YOU ALRIGHT?!!!

They look to see standing at the door is the Salvaging pirates they met before Masira and Shojo.

Usopp*scared*: AHHH!!! They've come to kill us!!

Shojo: What in the world are you people doing here?!

Masira: And just what are you doing to our friend?!

Luffy: We're trying to help so I suggest you either lend us a land or find someone else to bug.

Usopp: Don't antagonize them Luffy you know what they're capable of!

Zero: Ah we can take em.

Usopp: But now there are two of those savages to deal with!!!

Chopper: THEY'RE SAVAGES!!

Masira/Shojo*crying*: Thank you guys.

Usopp: What did they say?

They go outside where Masira and Shojo explain their relationship with the man inside.

Luffy: So you guys live on this island too?

Masira: Yep this old timers house is the official headquarters of the Saruyama Alliance of Jaya.

Shojo: We call this home but we spend most of our time on our ships. We're more comfortable at sea because this place is too small for us.

Zero: No kidding you like the size of 5 men smashed together.

Luffy: You guys are too big for your own good, but I guess it's all how you look at it. To a giant you still look like more than a ball of ear wax.
