Reborn as a Government Agent (A One Piece Fanfic)

Chapter 6: The North Blue

Our first stop after leaving the Calm Belt was at Kulti Island, where we spent a few hours restocking our water and food supplies with help from the Marine Base on the island.

It was a lot less memorable when compared to the exotic fruits and plants of Shashakima Island, We simply restocked and moved on, Managing to reach the Lvneel Kingdom by the time the sun started to set.

According to one of the CP9 Agents, we'll reach Kuen Island in a week, six days now that the sun is already setting.

The Lvneel Kingdom was old, The Island has a rich history as one of the wealthiest nations in the North Blue, going back hundreds of years. A hub of culture and commerce, and the home of one of the most famous works of classic literature in the seas. Liar Noland.

"So like, what's the deal?" I asked as I read through a copy of the book, "Why's this book so famous? It's not even a good book by Children's Books standards, the message is also 'Don't be a liar or you'll die' It's dumb." I tossed the book aside and turned to look at one of 3 CP9 Agents who's accompanying Spandine and me on this investigation, the same one who's basically been tasked with looking after me while Dad is busy.

"I don't know, I'm not from the North Blue," Cipher Pol 9 Agent Deirdre shrugged, leaning her back and elbows against the railing of the ship as she tilted her head to stare at the darkening sky.

"You won't tell me more about this Haki thing, you won't tell me how most of this Rokushiki stuff works, and now you won't even tell me local trivia facts about a 400-year-old book?" I let out a sigh of fake disappointment, "What good even are you?"

"Oi! Damn brat... I'm the third-best CP9 Agent in here, I could beat you up without even sweating! Don't test me!" The agent barked at me, Her head tilted down so she could try her best to glare angrily at me.

"I don't think beating up a twelve-year-old is the kind of boast you think it is..." I dryly told her, laying my back on Funkfreed as we waited for the sun to finally set.

"You trying to get cheeky with me now?!" She asked, a smirk on her lip.

"Heh~" I let out a soft chuckle, "Trying~"

Deirdre simply clicked her tongue at that, giving me another victory to add to the pile.

........................................................................

Nothing exciting happened on our second day in the North, the weather was fine and so were the waves, I might even be able to say that our second day in the North Blue was the most regular day I've had since leaving Maruiki Island.

The third day, on the other hand, brought with it something somewhat exciting, if also a bit disappointing.

"Sir! Pirates are coming!" One of the Ship's Support Crew came rushing in, his hat nearly flying off his head.

"Did you identify their flag?" Spandine asked, standing up and making his way out onto the deck, Funkfreed and I following close behind.

"No sir, They appear to be rookies." The crewman said as our small group made our way to the ship's railing, watching the Ship in the distance sail in our direction, a Jolly Roger with a pink bicorn hat adorned with a pink feather and a golden hoop at the front.

"Rookies? Eh~ Shoot a few warning shots. If they keep getting closer I'll send one of the Agents to deal with them." Hearing that the pirates were rookies, Spandine lost interest and returned to his office.

Funkfreed and I stayed behind, watching the crew ready the cannons of the ship before firing.

I sighed in disappointment as the Pirate Ship turned around and fled, meaning I wouldn't get to see any more action.
