More Than Just A Weapon(One Piece × male reader)

A new start - four in one body - ghost - (Y/N) origin part 2

Thoughts: *Blah blah*
Action/narrative: I punched him
Speech: "Yippe"

You stared at these gems for a moment before sheathing your new katana back into its protective holster. You looked around the beach momentarily before making your way inlands.

You'd rather not breathe in the horrible scent of burnt skeletons and wood.

As you walk further inland, you could feel something about you changed. Physically and mentally.

(Y/N): *Why do I feel like this. It's... irritating.* Shaking it off, you continued your path inland, soon coming across a medium-sized village.

If you were to take anything from your life from the past to now, it would be your unextinguishable, burning hatred for pirates. No matter who or what they are or did. So you decide being a bounty hunter would be the best profession.

You could sense you looked different than what you previously looked like before what ever happened to the pirate crew you were forced to join. Including your clothing. You didn't bother to check your looks or clothes, just focused on entering the marine station.

Opening the door, you step inside. It was fairly empty. Just the marine behind the counter, feet kicked up and reading the newspaper. You approached and stood in front of the counter, waiting for this marine to acknowledge your arrival.

The marine sighed, still not looking up from the newspaper as he spoke. "For the last time, April." He grew agitated as he continued. "No one stole your damn waterme-!" He stopped himself when he realised who he was speaking with. That couldn't be any father from April...

You saw there was a look of fear and complete shock in his eyes. This made you curious about what you actually looked like now.

Marine: "O-oh.. uhm... hello... sir. How can.. I uh.. help you?" Each word or stutter he did, fear poured from his mouth. You couldn't care, so you got straight to the point.

(Y/N): "I want a bounty hunter job."

As soon as you finished talking, you both looked at each other for five seconds before he immediately slammed a few papers on the table and nodded swiftly, a wide, nervous grin on his face.

Marine: "ABSOLUTELY!!! Just sign here, and here, and here. There is one more thing you'll need to do.. you'll have to prove that you can hunt pirates for a living." You glanced up at him from the papers, making him shiver before he added shakily. "I'm not doubting your abilities, of course!!!"

The way he acted towards you made you confused, to say the least.

(Y/N): *Why is he scared... a marine of all people.*

You signed the papers in the meantime. That's all you're here for anyway. Though, you do hear him mention one more thing.

Marine: "Lucky for you.. We got a suspicion that a pirate crew has landed on the south part of the island at the docks..." That's all you needed to hear. He babbled on a bit more, but you heard all you needed to.

Turning on your heel and leaving the headquarters. You planned on renting a room in a hotel for the meanwhile.

....
...
..

Everyone you saw looked terrified or intimated by you. Now, you were more than curious about why.

You easily got a hotel room, the staff were also scared of you like the marine. You also noticed that during the period of when you blacked out and woke up, you took all the pirates' treasure and berries. Not like they'd need it now...
