(Years ago....)
A wealthy woman gave birth to a healthy baby boy with pink hair on her estate.
As she cuddled her little joy, the woman heard a commotion outside her room.
(SLAM)
A famous man in marine clothing, with faded pink hair, barged into the room, with several men trying to pull him away. The mother held her child scared.
Koby: There you are...
Ariel:!?!
After taking one look at the child, Admiral Koby bent forward 90° to bow, which slung the buttler on his back through a window.
Bulter: WHAAA-
(SHATTER)
His eyes poured tears like a waterfall as he proclaimed.
Koby: I am Admiral Koby! I am sorry my stupid son left you alone with this great responsibility!!
Koby: Just know, he does wish to be here!
Koby: Until he gets his act together, I will support you with whatever you need as I try to drag him back to you!!!
Ariel:!!
Ariel:(chuckles)
Ariel: You're a silly man. You could have just told my servants who you are instead of breaking in.
Koby: I-I'll also fix the door...
Koby:(rubs eyes)
Koby: Have you decided on a name?
Ariel:(smiles) Davy.
(Present Day)
Koby: Davy!
Grabbing Davy J. by the face, Koby dragged him away from the base, and into the forest where he pinned the Oncoming Storm to a tree.
Davy: Ugh!
Koby: Do you have any idea how worried sick your mother is!?!
Davy: No matter what I did, she would have been worried!
(SHATTER)
Davy is pushed through the tree.
(Opening Theme)
Davy: Ugghhhh... Grampa, you jerk!
Koby: You're one to talk... Now that we can talk relatively in private.
Koby: How!? How did you get a Wanted Dead bounty?!?
Davy: I found the Marine's dirty secret...
Koby:?
Explaining the base, the experiments, the Devil Fruit, and Admiral Full Metal Arnold.
Davy: So you see, it isn't my fault!
Koby: Arnold....? That doesn't sound like him....
Davy: Are you two close?
Koby: I've met him a few times. Never gave me any reason to suspect that.
Davy: Well he's a jackass, and I'm going to take him out next time I see him.
Davy: Speaking of jackasses... The reason I'm here is that I came across these "Bounty Pirates".
Davy: They took one of my crewmates and I can't fight them with her as a hostage.
Davy: Gramps I need a box of Marine routes and the treasure in this base.
Koby:(crosses arms) It's not that simple...
Davy: Gramps, I can't let this punk hurt my crewmate. Once I beat him up, I'll leave him and all the stuff I took for the Marines.
Davy: You know I'm good for it.
Koby: Like I said, it's not that simple.
Davy: I'll take it if I have to.
Koby: And then what? Last I checked, Bojack has the Control Control fruit.
Koby: Only direct contact attacks will hurt him, and only if you have more willpower than him.
Koby: That is... unless you have Haki.
Davy: I do! Armorment and Observation!
Koby: What about Conquerors?
Davy: Conquerors?
Koby: It's a rare form of Haki. Not everyone has it, nevertheless, master it.
Koby: With it, you can defeat anyone weaker-willed than you. If you have it, you're guaranteed to be stronger than Bojack.
Davy: I'm sure I can figure it out if I get a demonstration.
Koby: I can teach you it. We'll pretend I captured you. Then put you in a jail cell.
Davy: I'm wanted dead, gramps.
Koby: I can stall.
Davy: I don't know... This seems like a ruse to get me locked up. And I don't have time for that.
Koby: Davy trust me.
Davy: Gramps, you're asking me to give up a bit of my freedom.
Koby: Temporarily.
Davy:.....
Koby: You'll need this power if you wish to survive. And if you ever wish to protect anything.
Davy:....
Davy: Fine. But I'm only doing this for my crew.
Azriel and Victor were silently searching. Victor discovered a safe but had trouble opening it. The time he needed to figure it out went out the window once there was a sudden commotion.
From afar, they watched Admiral Koby drag Davy J into the base shouting to prep a cell.
Azriel/Victor:!!
The whole base was wide awake due to their VIP guest.
(SLAM)
Koby: Keep an eye on him.
He left Davy to be watched by two guards.
Azriel: So how the hell did you mess up?
Having the same idea, Azriel and Victor put themselves in the position to guard Davy.
Davy: I didn't mess up. I agreed to come here.
Azriel: Why?
Davy: That Admiral is my grandfather.
Azriel/Victor:!!
Davy: He promised to teach me Conquerors Haki. It can apparently give me the power to just take Bojack out.
Victor: And if he's lying?
Davy: I'll break out
Touching the bars of the cell, Davy lost all his strength.
Davy: The hell...?
Azriel: Seastone. Your powers are useless. Which means YOU, a guy wanted DEAD, is a sitting duck.
Davy: My grandfather once said... "The Day I let you die is the day after I've died".
Davy: I trust him... Enough.
Azriel: Enough?
Davy: Listen, I share the same philosophy when it comes to all of you.
Davy: Right now, you two have a perfect opportunity to get what we need, slowly and steadily.
Davy: We have time.
Azriel: And in that time, Ruby is stuck with them.
Davy: Don't worry. I told Bojack to not harm her.
Azriel:(rolls eyes)
Victor: He has a point. With him here, the Marines will be focused solely on guarding him.
Victor: And this safe is locked up tight. Some kind of new model. I need time to crack it.
Azriel:(sigh)
Azriel: Fine. Stealing the gold they have locked up will be easier if we take a bit at a time.
Victor: Shhh. He's coming back.
Koby: You two, leave. Make sure we aren't disturbed.
Azriel/Victor:(salutes)
Koby put down a chair and sat in front of Davy.
Davy: Well? How do I learn this Conqueror Haki?
Koby: Meditation.
Davy: Huh...?
Koby: Focus on your will. Your desires. Your philosophy. Imagine it as a fierce and try to push it upon me.
Davy: Can't you try just using it on me? That worked with the other versions.
Koby: No. I can't. Now do it.
Davy:(sigh)
Sitting down, Davy crosses his legs and begins concentrating. He shuts his eyes as his grandfather watches him.
Koby:(mind) I'm sorry Davy. I know you might not like it... But you're in too much danger.
Koby:(mind) I have a responsibility to protect you as best I can...
(Some time ago....)
Koby stood before Davy's mother, who somberly sat on a chair staring off toward the sea.
Ariel: I suppose... It's only fair. I had him tight in my grasp for all these years...
Ariel: Now he's free to be with his father for a while... If he bothers to go find him...
Koby: This is all my fault!
Ariel: There's nothing wrong with becoming a pirate... At least the type of pirate his father is.
Ariel: I know it's against the law...
Koby: No this is different. I know firsthand that there are good and bad pirates.
He glances at Davy's wanted poster.
Koby: But this is different... Worst case... His father's ideals have corrupted him.
Koby: Best case... It's just a misunderstanding.
Koby: Nevertheless, his actions are in the name of freedom. If only I had been around more. Been a superior role model...
Koby: Perhaps I could have at least shown him that he was free...
Koby: I'll bring him back. I sware.
Koby: And I'll make sure he's a good man!
Ariel:(smiles) Thank you.
To be continued....
