Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: Syrup Village, Beating up a Hundred Plans

The Star Pirates arrive at Syrup Village, finding a dark skinned-woman playing with 3 kids, pretending to be pirates.

"The older one out of the 4 is the supposed sniper I want, and the doctor is in the biggest house, with a pirate butler looking to kill her."

"So thats our sniper? And our doctor is getting stalked by a pirate in disguise?" Kuina says, looking confused on who they are recruiting now.

"Relax, they both aren't excellent at their roles, but at least they will make the ship more lively."

"Sure, it's not like you said you wanted more crewmembers to stand against the World Government." Zora deadpans at Roya's statement, thinking of how hyprocitical he sounds right now.

"We are in the East Blue. The weakest sea out of the 4 Blues. And you expect to recruit a remarkable crewmate already. You all have potential, but if we run into someone powerful, we'll just get bent over."

Roya starts walking towards the 4 'pirates', while they all look at him shocked and sweating.

"Yo, what are your names? My name's Roya. And I aim to be the King of the Pirates!"

"O-oh, these 3 are called Ninjan, Piimin and Tamanigi, and my name's Usoppe. W-why did you want to talk to us?"

"Well, the three of you are too young, but Usoppe, would you like to join my crew as the sniper."

"Me? B-but... why?"

"Because I see potential in you, and I want you to join my crew, so, do you accept?"

"S-sure, thank you for inviting me to join."

"Also, do you know where someone named Kaya is? I want her to be my ship's doctor."

"Y-ye, I do know where she is, but... she's been sick for a long time."

"Relax, I can heal her, just tell your friends bye, and show me and the rest of my crew where she is."

"O-oh, just don't harm her, o-okay?"

"I would have killed you already if I was a proper pirate."

Roya nudges Usoppe to go forward, and they start heading towards Kaya's mansion.

"Buggie, is that your actual nose?"

"Yes, it is, and can you stop asking about it, I don't want another person like Lucy on this ship."

"But that red nose looks so cool!" Usoppe says, with Lucy nodding her head and Buggie starts to have veins pop on her head.

*10 minutes later*

They finally arrive at Kaya's mansion, and Roya rings the bell to the house.

"Who's there?"

"I'm here to cure Kaya's disease, am I able to see her?"

"A-are you being serious?"

"Why would I come here in the first place? Usoppe told me that her best friend has been sick for a long time and I want to heal her."

"F-fine, come in then."

Merry opens the door, seeing Roya and the others, and gets confused but allows them in, preparing tea for them while waiting for Kaya. Kuroko appears, disguised as a butler, helping in serving tea.

"Thank you very much, even if I'm a pirate, I must have morals isn't that right, Kuroko?"

"My name's actually Klahadore, not Kuroko."

"Oh my bad, you just look extremely similar to a pirate back in the day, sadly they had perished due to the Marines."

"I guess that is one less detestable crew in the seas."

"True, but you always lift your glasses with your wrist, the only other person who did that was her."

"It sounds like you know her, were you her rival."

"Na, I was probably just a child, but she doesn't deserve to be my rival."

"And why is that?"

"Because... she's too weak, or should I say, this sea is too weak. I've already smoked lots of people in this sea, and they didn't give me a challenge."

"U-um, are you the person who said they were going to heal me."

Kaya walks down the stairs timidly, and asks Roya who is drinking tea.

"Yes, I was the one who said that I was going to heal you. Do you want me to, but in exchange, you have to join my crew, as my doctor."

"Kaya does no-"

"If you are able to heal me, then I will join."

"But, Kaya, you can't trust a pirate, especially because he's a man, he can take advantage of you."

"If I really was as bad as you say, the Usoppe would have died already, and this mansion would have already been reduced to dust."

You have decided to heal Kaya's disease, and you would like to sacrifice your right thumbnail.

Do you accept?

'Yes.'

A blinding light occurs, revealing Kaya in her original appearance, but less pale.

"I-i'm... n-not sick anymore? Oh, thank you so much!" Kaya hugs Roya tightly, crying onto his neck while Roya looks at his crew with a straight face. After Kaya finished crying, she gives him a kiss on his cheek, making him slightly blush while everyone else present becomes shocked.

"Thank you so much, of course I will join your crew."

"Y-ye, thank you for joining us, I hope you become a great doctor for us, but excuse me for a moment."

Roya peels off Kaya's hands and walks up to Klahadore with a serious expression.

"Sadly, I can't let you endanger this island any longer, so I'm afraid I'll take you somewhere else."

"What do you me-"

Roya, spawning his gloves on his hands immediately, sends her flying out of the front door.

"Kaya, say your goodbyes to Merry and go to the ship with the rest of my crew, let me handle this pirate."

"Y-yes, got it."

Kaya says her goodbyes to Merry, and leaves with the rest of them back to the ship.

Roya, looking down on Kuroko lying down, bleeding heavily on her chest, smiles aggressively.

"How does it feel, about to die on some unknown island? How does it feel, about to be killed by a man?"

"S...shut up, you bit-"

Black Flash!!!

"What did you say? I couldn't hear you."

*cough* *cough* 

Roya picks up Kuroko to eye level, staring at her with a straight face.

"I hope there is a hell, so you can burn to death over and over again, cunt."

Roya throws her into the air, and with a second or two, he hits another...

Black Flash!!!

Kuroko is sent into the air, disappearing into the sky, never to be seen again.

You have hit 2 Black Flashes in a row, you have significantly improved all three forms of Haki, requiring 1 more Black Flash to get Armament Haki, and 3 more to get Observation Haki.

"Oh my, two at once? Absolutely... impeccable."

Roya, after the feeling of hitting Black Flashes, walks back to the ship to resume his journey.

*10 minutes later*

"Yo guys, I'm back, did you see someone get shot up into the sky?"

"Yes, we did, and we also that red electricity that comes with those 'Black Flashes'. Dadan says, not bothered to look at Roya while playing a board game against Makino.(Comes with the ship)

"Well, I guess we got our sniper and doc-"

"Oh yeah, I heard you got kissed by our new doctor, how did it feel?" Makino looks at Roya with a teasing smile, while Roya slightly blushes.

"Who told you that?"

"It was Lucy. She said she saw you blush and wanted to try it on you."

"Hell nah. It was good, but I'm not letting that stretchy buffoon do it on me, at least not now."

"Oh, so when would you like it then?" Zora asks, popping up from behind Roya, while Roya just turns around a bit.

"After the East Blue, I don't mind anything, just ask me and I'll help you, but this place is too boring to do anything."

"Alright, Roya, remember your words carefully." Zora says mysteriously, turning around and heading back to her room.

"Weird... anyway, it's time to head to the Baratie. Makino, please cook something up for me after your done. Thank you."
