Sue or Sew [One Piece Fanfic]

Encounter

"Captain! We need to restock for supplies. The food have been disappearing lately" the concerned crew member said, only to be replied by his captain with a large piece of steak in his mouth

"Really? Then let's stop by~ that island!" He pointed to the patch of greenery in sight. The other man holding a map said otherwise

"I don't know Captain. That island doesn't look like its charted on the map. It might be dangerous"

"Don't be such a wimp, we need food right? And when there's an island, there's food so onward to the mysterious island" he ordered, and his crew obeyed

Ace's POV

"Alright!! Last one in is a rotten Marine!" I yelled then jumped right off the railings and landed on the shore. Once I sprinted to the thick forest, the familiar environment made me nostalgic. Remembering those times I spent with my brothers. But my flashbacks were put to a stop when I heard screams

I rushed back to my crew only to find them all tensed

"Hey, what's up?" They raised their hands and pointed upwards. Craning my neck up, I saw five of my men caught in a net hanging high between four trees. A rusty bell kept on tinkling while they squirmed in the net trap, like it was an alarm

Then one after another, nets started springing from the ground and hauling my men in midair. A net started to fall on me, and it was a peculiar one. It won't burn, and its making me feel more dizzier by the minute. I tried cutting it with my dagger but I was too tired to cut it. Before I knew it, my vision turned to nothing just before k here a voice

"Let's see.. How do I start?"

There's one thing that could weaken any devil fruit user, and that's sea stones. And only the Marines use this kind of stuff just to weaken us before capturing us with there bare hands. Tch..Cowards

A familiar scent went through my nose. My body just subconsciously stood up without my will, whilst my eyes still closed. My feet started moving, my arms spread forward as my sniffer follows the hypnotizing aroma. Not caring of the clutter I stepped on or the muffled noises I'm hearing, I continued on as my stomach rumbles loudly

But I was snapped awake when something pulled me from behind by my hat and the string literally choked my Adam's Apple

"W-what the-" once I opened my eyes and turned to who almost choked me, I was met with blue eyes that I never seen before "Who are you? And-"

My eyes snapped to my surroundings and I saw all of my crewmates seated on the ground with a plate of food in hand. The smell that I've been following earlier was the campfire at the center with a giant boar being roasted. My eyes went back to the blue eyed stranger as he was writing something on a notebook

While he scribbled on the page, I scanned his appearance if he's a marine. He had a pretty skinny body and pale skin, his hair was colored raven like mine but shorter with its tips fading to blue. He wore a stained cream colored long-sleeved shirt with a couple of tatters here and there, a pair of pants with the same color and state of condition. What caught my attention the most was that his mouth and nose was covered with also a cream colored cloth like a face mask. I was focused on his mask too much that I didn't realize he already stopped writing and stared back at me. I mumbled a sorry but he didn't seem to mind as he faced the written page to me

'Sorry for the inconvenience, but you need to leave first thing tomorrow. Your men already gathered the supplies they needed for your next destination. For now, just sit and eat with the others' was written then he snapped it closed and placed it inside his shirt. His probably a mute
