Pirate?

Wanted Poster

And here come the (not so) glorious chapter 4!!
If you haven't noticed this chapter came out longer than the previous ones. The reason is that my school has started earlier than usual after the summer break (4 weeks earlier than other schools! can you believe it!! i so want to strangle someone to death right now) so i'm much busier (with my assignments and all) => updating this story will be slower.

But don't worry, i won't abandon the story...yet.

Anw, hope you enjoy this chapter :)))

Nezumi, though being a captain, was known by all of his subordinates as an arrogant, greedy, selfish and decidedly corrupted marine. Throughout his career the man just cared about satisfying his own needs and in order to do that, he was willing to trample upon others. The man craved for promotion and wealth, and he would do all the dirty jobs to get what he wanted, that was how he got his current rank as a Marine Captain with 16th branch under his command. The man neglected his supposed job, in which he had to fight notorious pirates and protect civilians, in favour of being in collusion with the infamous pirate Arlong to get his share. He was fine being around with those 'fish-man weirdos' (as he called them) as well as turning a blind eye to said pirates' crime of taking over Cocoyashi village as long as he had his benefits.

Unfortunately (or fortunately), Nezumi's plan was all ruined when a strange brat decided to stick his nose into the man's business. It was frustrating, but Nezumi couldn't do anything other than cowering after seeing the said brat beating up his subordinates in less than 10 seconds. The marine captain would have gawked at the scene had he not been too busy trying to flee from the scrawny yet strong brunette. The escape was just another failed attempt though and that time, Nezumi almost peed his pants when he was met with those intense glare coming from the teen.

But then again, luck was on his side, just like before when he got his rank and profits.

Nezumi watched as the brunette made a sprint toward his marine ship, banging through every doors in the process. As the teen finally got in the storeroom, the man quickly ran into the woods, as far away from that little monster as possible, his subordinates followed closely behind. But when Nezumi came accross the battle between the Arlong pirates and another no name gang, with the gang actually the winner, he jumped at the chance of his possible promotion.

"Thanks to you, the money i have to hand over to Arlong as well as all the riches of Arlong Park now belong to me. So throw down your arms! I, Captain Nezumi of the 16th branch of the Marine, shall hereby take credit for your victory!" When Nezumi said those words, he thought it would be as easy as pie. Surely that bunch of no name pirates must be pretty strong to be able to defeat the fishmen, especially Arlong, but people had limits and the said pirates have well reached theirs if the amount of blood was anything to go by. Consequently, the marine captain was supremely confident when he ordered his subordinates to do their job, so confident that he didn't even realize the killing intent coming from behind until a strong arm grabbed his collar, yanked him down, and beated him (subordinates included) to a bloody pulp.

Now Nezumi's physical strength might be no where near enough to revenge himself on those pirates, but he did have some stricks up his sleeves when situations came. So the man settled on the best thing he could do as a marine against a bunch of notorious pirates.

"This is Captain Nezumi of the Marine's 16th branch speaking! Marine code #00733" Nezumi practically yelled at the den den mushi, hearing a grunt as a response from the other side, he continued.

"I'm calling about an urgent request! Listen up! There is a straw hat - wearing pirate by the name of "Luffy", he and his four-no five crew members are hereby to be labelled as enemies of the government!" Immediately after he finished, the sound of a picture being printed echoed the room, Nezumi was not really satisfied with that pirate's picture, seeing it looked pretty friendly rather than scary, but it would do for now. As the marine captain was about to hang up, a voice from the other side made him stiffen.
