The Copyist (One Piece & OC)

Chapter 69: Water Fight

Once they were down again, our current captives accused Zoro of getting overzealous with his cutting.

"Don't accuse me of cutting them just because I like it!" Greenie shouted with an irk mark on his forehead.

"But you looked like you were enjoying it. You're a natural born manslayer." The second minister retorted.

"Well then, if you were attacked by pirates, what would you do? Serve tea?!"

"Well if you think about it, they did give you sake when we arrived." I remind the swordsman with a smirk.

"I wasn't attacking them!"

"But they thought of you as a threat."

"Well," The minister spoke again, "serving tea and talking is one way to solve-"

"They wouldn't let you!" Zoro snapped.

"In any case, if you beat them all, you won't be able to find out what they wanted." The minister spoke some wisdom.

"Stop worrying about them so much." Greenie nearly huffed.

I guess it made sense for them to still be concerned with the matter. I mean they think that the princess was kidnapped by them.

It was like the king heard my thoughts because he fell over and beg to be released. He wanted to see his daughter, thinking that Luffy kidnapped her. I mean, he wasn't completely wrong, but he wasn't exactly right either.

As the king started to condemn Lu, Nami started to loudly argue back with the man. I decided to take a seat and close my eyes for a bit. I just needed some me time despite the surrounding company.

The sound of a sword pressing on the ground followed by gears moving caught my attention. Snapping my eyes over to the source, I see that one of the intruders had managed to pull the lever to open the entrance. Great, so much for me time.

I groan in annoyance, standing back up.

"What's up Ama?" Usopp questioned.

"We're about to have some more company. These idiots managed to open the gate while you were yelling." I warn them, removing my sword from my waist. Naturally while the blade was still covered.

"We have intruders!" Someone from outside yelled. Where did they come from? Wasn't everyone tied up? Whatever.

"How did you guys get this far?!" The first minister yelled at the new figures entering the threshold.

"I can't believe this! I was ready to start a fight right away, but Nepture and all the soldiers are tied up!" The first fishman scoffed. He had multiple legs, and had gloves over his hands. He hair also resembled that of a squid having been electrocuted. Decken, I believe his name was. He was also the holder of the Mark-Mark fruit. This could be tricky since I don't know how his powers really work.

"I didn't expect to see a present like this. What a surprise." An evil smirk bloomed on the fishman's face. He was clearly the other leader: Hordy himself. He wore a red cap over his black frizzy hair. Around his neck was white fur that looked like a skinned animal.

The mumbling of the ministers and soldiers tied up behind me informed my of my correct assumptions.

Hordy's crew had all filed in. They each sported an identical mark on some part of their body, showing that they were affiliated with one another. It honestly was a lame design.

They stopped not too far away from us as they were assessing the current situation.

"Is this some kind of trap? It's too good to be true." Hordy spoke.
