The Copyist (One Piece & OC)

Chapter 102: Operation Raid Is A Go

***Amaya's POV***

What a busy morning with lousy weather to boot. It was stormy, which caused slower flying and my hair to become a wet mess. Even Chi was a wet fur ball, making her all the more eager to man the cannon on the plane.

The spy that Orochi had planted was hard at work from all our minor setbacks that I've been remedying. All the bridges connecting the land to our meeting location were bombed along with Lu's ship in its hiding place.

Once I remember which person was Orochi's spy, he's dead. I don't remember much, only that he continued to be a problem during the whole war from planting traps and crafting tricks. So, he needed to be dealt with sooner rather than later.

Chi, Ace, and I flew around the whole island, so I could repair the bridges with the wax-wax fruit before we headed to the rendezvous spot.

Law was meeting us at the harbor, where I also hoped Kid would join us, but only time would tell.

Trusting that The Sunny was nearly fixed, Chi, Ace, and I flew on ahead to the meeting location with Oden's retainers. The ships would be slightly delayed with the rough waters, but they were pirates. They'd make it.

"Is your plane going to be able to hold up in this weather?" Ace questioned as we flew into even rougher winds than what surrounded the main island.

"The plane can take this no problem. It'll only receive a power boost if it's struck by lightning! You should be more concerned about your flames!" I shouted behind me.

"Don't worry about that. I'll turn up the heat."

"Chii," she rolled her eyes.

"We've got a problem." I stated as we neared the meeting location.

"What's up?" Ace moved slightly forward in his seat.

"The samurai we're meeting seem to be on a tiny raft in the water."

"Chi cHI?!"

"I think desperate might be more accurate than crazy, girl, even with these waves. I see some enemy ships as well. Three of them." I started preparing the control console to transfer. "Chi, get ready to take over. Just keep it out of range in the air for now. I'll use the air board for now."

"Chi!" She agreed, jumping on top of the controls.

"Ace, can you hand me my board?"

He turned around to grab it from the storage section. "Need anything else from me in the meantime?"

I shook my head. "Not for now. When Chi takes the plane lower, you can use your ability to fire the cannon. It'll improve your fire power."

I grabbed the board from him before dangling my legs over the side of the plane.

"Catch ya two later." I two finger salute before dive bombing off the side. As the wind whistled past my face, I tried to tune into the conversation below, but the storm was making it difficult to fully understand every word spoken.

However, I got my answer to who was the spy: Kanjuro. The clown looking man whose weapon was a large paintbrush. It was always curious that he was the only one in their group who didn't weld a sword.

As I was falling, I realized that the other samurai on the boat just realized that Kanjuro was the traitor the whole time, prompting Kinemon to slice his head off.

My gaze narrowed on the now headless body of the traitor, cut off by Kinemon himself. That was too easy to be true. Where is his real body? Kanjuro could make lifelike paintings, so that one Kinemon cut had to be a fake.
