From Ninja to Pirate

24

Surprising others isn't easy as it seems
And why you do it isn't just for the screams.
It's for the memories and the excitement it comes with.
To tease your victim, is that treasure in a myth.
Don't think that jump and yell will be forgotten.
It will last forever, in a diary it will be written.
So prepare for the laughs and giggles, that you provoked,
And wish for that moment to never be revoked.

Zoro managed to swallow his bile, impressing Natsuki slightly, as they arrived in front of a shady café. The board outside read 'Spider's Café" and Zoro was absolutely useless when he tried to understand why they were there.

"Zoro, you stand out a bit, so would you let me do something to you?"

"Depends on what you're going to do."

"Fair enough. I'm going to disguise you as a man with brown hair and glasses."

"How?"

"Just watch." Natsuki stuck her finger to Zoro's forehead and made signs with her hand. With a poof of smoke, in Zoro's place stood a lanky man with average brown hair and average brown eyes, looking rather nerdy if I may add. Zoro looked at his thinned down arms, and panicked.

"Where are my katanas!? My earrings? My haramaki!? I can feel it, but I can't see it?"

"It's a technique I learnt, don't question it." Natsuki also morphed into a younger girl, with long curled blonde hair, and green eyes. She became shorter, and her kimono changed into a hoodie and a pair of jeans.

She pulled on Zoro's arm and pushed the door to the café open.

"Welcome. How many people?" The place was open despite the early time.

"Um, two, thank you." A woman with curly blue hair, tied in a low ponytail led them to a table in the corner. The place was rather shabby, with slight dust on the shelves, and rips on some of the leather. Though the atmosphere was warm, with music playing in the background, and the scent of coffee touching their noses.

"What would you like?"

"May we have the spider special? Also, some raspberry cheesecake for me. Anything for you Roz?" Zoro took a while to respond, but thankfully it looked like he was just thinking about what he wanted to order.

Natsuki kicked him under the table, and he let out a low grunt. He quickly said he didn't want anything, and the woman walked back to the kitchen.

"Five? No. Six people." Natsuki assessed, using her haki to find out how many people there were.

"What? How's it that you know?"

"You'll learn soon. Just ask Luffy, if he still remembers how to use it... Anyway, what did you want to ask me?"

"How did you get that katana?"

"You mean Kusanagi?"

"Yes. That Katana is legendary. It's said that only the strongest of people can wield it. It was last seen with Dracule Tomomi, but she died before I was born."

"Twenty two."

"What?"

"Dracule Tomomi died twenty two years ago."

"How do you know that? Her death was a mystery."

"Well, I'll tell you loads about her. She's the older sister of the world's strongest sword fighter, and died after giving birth to her daughter, by the hands of other bounty hunters. She was married to one of the world's most famous pirates, and her daughter has a bounty larger than hers."
