Wapol's Defeat and Joining the Crew

A/N: I almost had a fucking panic attack when I thought all my work got deleted. It wasn't, thank god. Just had to reload the page. 

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

"Why did I agree to this again?" I thought to myself. 

Nami had wanted to leave and escape from Kureha and the huge debt. I couldn't blame her, to be honest, knowing the pain of paying off such a huge debt. But why did I agree to follow her?

Oh ya, because she's still sick and could get hurt. And I was ordered to watch over her. 

I sighed as Nami dragged me to the door. Walking out of the room and onto the walkway, I shivered from the cold and wrapped my arms around myself to preserve heat.  

"Ah, we got lucky. We can leave without any problems" Nami stated. 

"Why do I feel like she just jinxed us?" 

A roar of loud laughter was heard from the ground floor causing us both to look over the railing to see a huge fat ass man. Recognizing him with the not-so-nice description Kureha had given him, I deduced that this was Wapol. The asshole who caused both Chopper and this kingdom a lot of pain. 

"You two must be part of the Stawhats." He stated.

I kept a straight face while Nami denied his claim, saying that she was just a navigator and that I was an entomologist who was passing through. I had to give it to her some credit, she was quick to come up with an excuse. 

Me and Nami started to walk away, thinking we had tricked him. I felt something was wrong and turned around to find that the bastard had climbed up one of the pillars to get to the floor we were on.

"Liar!" He yelled.

"AHHHH!" We screamed as we ran away from him. 

I noticed Wapol was gaining on us, and Nami wasn't faring too well since she was still recovering. So in a split-second decision, I picked Nami up bridal style and focused the strength in my legs to launch us forward and away from Wapol.

A resounding crack could be heard from the amount of power used, and in no time at all we had made it to the ground floor. 

 Placing Nami on the ground, I asked if she was alright, seeing that she was a bit shaken from what happened.

"y-yes, I'm fine. But how did you...?" She trailed off not knowing how to ask. 

I sighed knowing that this would happen, "I'll explain it to you in a bit." She accepted it sensing I wouldn't say more for now. 

We focused our attention back on the stairs and saw that Wapol had gotten stuck on the roof of the stairwell. I snorted while trying to hold back my laughter. Nami just looked dumbfounded at what she was seeing. 

As I was about to lead Nami somewhere else, Wapol yelling stopped me, "Munch-Munch Facotry!" 

We spin around, and Nami screams while I stare in both surprise and disgust as Wapol literally eats himself. 

"What the fuck did I just witness." I didn't dwell on the thought very much and instead focused on getting Nami as far away as possible from the guy.

As we reached the middle of the courtyard, we stopped as we heard a bunch of weird noises coming from him. "My miraculous bone-shaping structure has been completed! Slim Wapol!" He flipped into the air and was now taller and thinner than before.

I stood on guard in front of Nami to keep her out of his sight as he focused his attention on us with an evil smirk. "And I won't let you two escape."

He launches himself into the air as we quickly book it to the door. I pull Nami along as fast as I can while Wapol laughs at us from the air. From the corner of my eye, I saw Wapol reach out to grab Nami. I felt anger rush over me for a moment as I pulled Nami away and in a flash of blue light, turned into my half-bug form.
