Chapter 5: Sweet Drowning Memories

One Piece: Wanted DeadWords: 8693

Davy: "Ro-Ro; Boxer"!!

Shattering the ice cream armor of one of Strawbarry's ice cream knights, Davy exposed the vampiric entity underneath to the sun, causing it to spontaneously combust.

Davy: Tch! You aren't even trying to save your minions!

(CLANG)

Victor deflected Candy's Haki-infused balloon sword, with the bladed butt of his gun, Zody.

Candy: Why did the gunslinger lose to the swordmaster?

Candy: Because he BANGED his head!

With the extra joint in her arm, Candy curved around Victor's attempt to block. Landing a hit to the head, Candy watched Victor stumble back in a daze.

Victor: Ugh...!

Victor:(whistles)...

Candy: Hm?

Victor twirled his gun and began whistling. This helped him focus, and break out of his daze.

Victor: "Pisces Caliber"...

(BANG, BANG)

Swinging his arm as if he were punching, Victor fired two bullets that curved through the air.

Raising her balloon sword to block, Candy felt the bullets hit her weapon like two raging bulls. Even though she managed to shove the bullets away, she herself was knocked off balance.

(SWOOOSHHHH)

Brown raised his axe, but Tiga held onto it, to his dismay as the Mink landed her feet on his back and stopped him from swinging.

Brown:(struggling) Let... Go...!

Tiga:(struggling) No... You let... Go..!

With her grip on the axe only being its blade sandwiched between her palms, it inevitably slipped out of her control.

Brown accidentally smashed the street in front of him as Tiga landed behind him.

Tiga/Brown: Hmph.

The two spun around and attacked. Tiga infused her leg with haki to kick Brown's axe which bounced off.

Tiga: WHA-TA-TA-TA!

She swung at him wildly, with haki-infused fists, whilst Brown met her attacks with his axe.

(CLANG, CLANG, CLANG)

(Vrrrrrrrrr)

Finishing off the last ice cream knight, Davy raced towards Strawberry, fist spinning and ready to punch. The Princess prepared to defend herself with one hand and make more knights with the other, but she was stopped by her groin-clutching brother.

Vanilla: No... Leave our people out of it...

Strawberry:....

Strawberry:(turns to Davy) You low-life scum! I've had enough of you!

Creating a tsunami of liquid ice cream, Strawberry launched Davy J. and Victor into the air. Tiga was left trapped after the princess froze the tsunami.

Leaping into the air herself, Strawberry made a massive solid as ice, ice-cream-hammer.

Victor: "Aries Caliber"!

Turning the chamber of his gun, Victor fired a powerful shot from his Zody, that blasted him through a building and out of the hammer's way.

Davy, not having such a mobility move in the air, coated himself in armament Haki and braced for impact.

Strawberry: "Rocky road hammer"!!!

(BAAAAM)

Davy was sent flying across the island, all the way to the island canal where he heard and felt wood shatter beneath him before splashing into water.

Davy:(drowning) Blug-blugh!!!

(Opening Theme)

(A few years ago...)

(SPLASH)

A young pink-haired boy dived into a pool as his mother cheered him on from the side, in her fancy dress.

Mom: Yes! Go, Davy! Go! Whooo!

When the boy emerged from the water, he had completed a lap and beat his previous record. The nearby butler who was playing coach congratulated the mother.

Butler: Congratulations Lady Ariel. At this rate, Master Davy will become the world's greatest swimmer.

Butler: Perhaps a great underwater explorer. Or Marine like his grandfather?

Ariel clapped like a seal, as she squealed. Davy had a natural talent for swimming, thus she poured everything she had into making him the best.

Davy: Mom! Can I go play now?

Ariel: Of course my Baby J. You did really good today. Mommy is so proud of you!

???: He's becoming quite the swimmer. I just hope he doesn't have some crazy dream of swimming across the world!

???: Ho-ho-ho-ho!

A large gray-haired old man arrived in a Marine uniform. With a box.

Davy: Grandpa?

???: I've got a gift from your father.

As Ariel and Davy's grandfather talked, Davy was busy looking at the box his absent father sent.

His father was a pirate, so he was never able to meet him.

Ignoring his grandfather's warning to only open it when he was eighteen, Davy opened the box, finding a letter and a strange fruit. Ignoring the fruit, Davy read the letter.

"Dear Davy... I'm so sorry I couldn't stop your mother from naming you Davy Jones. It's too cutesy for the Jones name. And I'm sorry she gave you the Jones name, might cause you some trouble.

But I digress.

I hear you're naturally good at swimming. That's good. But If I can give you any form of advice...

Do not let that natural talent chain you to any course of life.

Freedom is the most important thing in this world.

If you wish to swim, fight, love, or anything else in this world. Do so only because you desire to, not because you can.

I leave you this fruit of "Revolution". Eat it only if you feel chained and desire the path of freedom.

Love; J.P.J AKA Dad"

Davy:....?

Putting the note back into the box, Davy locks and hides it. Not understanding what his father was talking about.

(Present day...)

Davy:(coughs up water)...

Davy: Damn flashbacks...

???: Looks like he's alive...

??? 2: Good... I CAN KILL HIM MYSELF!

Davy gets a flaming blade put to his throat by the angel-winged brunette, who led her crew of two other pirates.

(Angel Human: Azriel Holiday)

Behind the furious Angel, was a short kid with a massive afro which made up the bulk of his height.

(Shipwright/Inventor : Shin Columbus)

Beside him was the mermaid who saved Davy from the water. She had beautiful red hair and wore a kimono.

(Ruby of the Sea: Ruby)

Azriel: You sunk my ship! What do you have to say for yourself?

Davy turns to the water to see the ship he crashed into with his boat. Then with his body after Strawberry knocked him across the island.

Davy: Sorry about your ship, but I don't have time for you.

Davy: This island is ruled by a scummy guy who is having women stolen so he can marry them or something.

Davy: I've gotta get back to my crew and kick his ass!

Davy: So can we settle this later...? Preferably never?

Azriel:....

Shin: Well? What's the gosh dang hold up? Are cutting throats or overthrowing a ruler?

Ruby: I think she's trying to determine if he's lying or misinformed.

Davy: Huh?

Azriel: This island should be mostly abandoned after 90% of it sunk.

Azriel: But if what you're saying is true... There's still someone ruling over this place.

Azriel: A scum no less...

Azriel: I'll investigate. You two keep an eye on him-

Davy: I've entertained you three long enough. I have a crew to save and an emperor to kick in the dick again.

Davy: "Ro-Ro; Surfer"!!

On his knees, Davy spins his legs at high speed. He swiftly drives away from the trio and speeds off like a car back towards the city.

(Vrooooom)

Azriel:(rolls eyes)...

Azriel: I'll take a look around the city. You two, prepare that boat. One way or another, we're taking it.

(Frooosh)

A gust of wind blows over Ruby and Shin after Azriel flaps her wings and takes flight. She puts her sword into her large mechanical sheath as she follows Davy who sees her shadow.

Davy:(looks up) Huh?

Davy: Oh great! I'm being followed...

Davy:(mind) I've gotta get to Victor and Tiga. Hopefully, they're holding their own against those slave drivers....

The sun begins to set over Sorbet Island, and the monstrous eyes of all its inhabitants begin to peer out, in search of prey.

Elsewhere, Victor greets the locals.

(BANG)

After his tactic of dodging the rocky road hammer, Victor has been stuck fighting a building filled with fanged bloodthirsty creatures.

When he finally escaped the building, everyone was gone.

Victor:(looks around)

His desire to see Strawberry fall kept him on the island. However, his curiosity about the people made him put a pin on revenge. Slinking into another building, Victor began to do "research" on the people.

Elsewhere, Tiga was brought back to the Sorbet castle in a giant popsicle of frozen solid ice cream. Cased from the neck down, she attempted to escape by viciously licking her cacoon.

But her tounge got stuck against the ice-cold surface and she began crying ever since.

Tiga: WHAAAAAAA!!?

She was placed in a dungeon refurbished to be a pleasant spa-like place. It was filled with other women. Wiggling wildly as she yelled, Tiga tipped over, causing her ice cream cacoon to shatter. The heat in the room helped with the weakening of it.

Tiga: Yay! Freedom!

She got up and saw the prison bars at the entrance of the room.

Tiga: Awww man...

As night fell, a woman floated out of the castle's tower window to overlook the island.

Her long white hair and black dress fluttered in the wind.

???:(snifff)

???:(smirks) Immigrants...

(Vampire Human: Plum Von Sorbet)
