《Vice Captain of Straw Hat Pirates》Infiltrating the Marine Base
Advertisement
"So, this zoro guy, do you know anything about him, Liam?" Luffy looked at Liam and asked as they walked on the street of Shells Town.
"Well, he is strong, hunts pirate so that he can earn enough to wander around the East Blue, and wears a green headband when he gets serious." Liam made the expression as if he was thinking.
"By the way, I heard some rumors about this town. I am going to check it out while you two go and ask him to join us." Liam said goodbye to Luffy and left in a hurry.
"I wonder what does he wants to do?" Luffy mumbled as they continued their journey in the tree.
"Maybe, he only joined your crew so that he will get a chance to stay on that boat to this place." Coby responded.
"He won't leave." Luffy shook his head and they continued moving toward Marine Base.
At this time, Liam was also heading toward Marine Base but he went from the backdoor. He had some other business with marines.
'Although this marine base is on the East Blue, the people from headquarters do come here. And, Ax Hand Morgan was also a powerful marine, not much powerful but still good enough.'
'My objective here is to find a training method. Although I do remember the training process that Coby and others went through, I still want to check if there is something more here.'
'If I find something better, it would be amazing but if I don't, then it's still okay. I can still do normal training.'
Liam sneaked inside the marine base from the backdoor. Just when he was passing through a door, he saw a girl with orange hair running around.
'That's Nami. Should I go talk?'
Liam thought for a moment and shook his head. Currently, Nami doesn't trust anyone. Only Luffy can get into her head right now.
Liam also sneaked further without letting any marines see him. As he went through different rooms, he saw Zoo's swords. This room belonged to Helmeppo.
He gave those swords a deep look and searched the room.
'Found it!' He cheered with a smile when he finally found a gun. For protection, a gun is still better than having anything. That being said, while holding it, his hand shook a little.

Before coming to this world, he had never held a gun. And, this was a real gun. He took a deep breath and went out. He searched several rooms and eventually reached Morgan's room.
But, he didn't go in. Instead, he waited in another room. He looked outside the window and found that Luffy wasn't there anymore. That means Luffy has already returned and he will soon arrive.
Most of the marines were still on the top of the building. They were working on the statue of Morgan. When he was in this room, his eyes fell on a strange paper.
'That doesn't look like a normal paper. Why is it thrown in the bin?' Liam approached the bin and took out the paper. He unfolded the paper and his eyes widened.
Pat!
'Damn! It's just empty paper. I really need to keep my expectations low.'
Liam threw the paper back into the bin and walked away with an angry expression. He was hoping that it would record some sort of training method but he was wrong.
He sighed and finally heard the door opening in the room next to him. He didn't move but rather waited till he couldn't hear the footstep. Finally, he opened the door and suddenly, a stick hit his head.
"Ow!"
Liam shouted in pain but immediately closed his mouth as he ran away from the stick. He turned around and saw Nami standing next to the door while holding the stick.
"Why did you hit me?" Liam felt a bump on his head and angrily shouted.
"You are not a marine?" Nami suspiciously looked at him and asked.
"Of course not! What the hell is your problem? Damn, it hurts!" Liam touched the bump as it felt really painful.
"Who are you? Don't tell me you came to raid marine base?" Nami asked but suddenly she shook her head and muttered "You can't even bear the pain. How can you have the guts to come here to raid them? Anyway, if marine finds out that you aren't one of them, they will kill you. So leave!"
Saying so, she turned around and ran away.
Liam didn't even get to ask anything. He heard footsteps coming toward him. He hurriedly rushed inside one room.
"Ahhhh! Don't shoot!"

After a minute, he heard the scream of Helmeppo which widened his eyes. He immediately rushed out of the room and saw Luffy holding Helmeppo hostage.
"Ahh, Liam!"
Luffy's eyes widened when he saw Liam. Before the soldiers could turn around, Liam dashed toward them and punched the back of their heads with all of his strength. The soldiers had just turned their heads when the fist landed on their faces.
"Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!" Liam screamed in pain as he rushed toward Luffy.
"Don't tell me you got hurt by punching someone! Hahaha, you are funny." Luffy's reaction made Liam punch him but knowing that it would only hurt him, he restrained his feelings.
"If you are searching for Roronoa's swords, I saw them in his room."
Saying so, Liam took Luffy to Helmeppos' room.
"There are three swords here. Which should I take?" Luffy asked. He dropped Helmeppo since he had lost his consciousness.
"All of them belong to him." Liam said while moving toward the windows. His eyes widened as he shouted "Luffy, marines are going to shoot Coby and Zoro. You need to fly out from here."
"What?" Luffy rushed toward the window while holding three swords. When he saw the marines raising their weapons at Zoro and Coby, he simply jumped out of the building with his Gomu-Gomu- Rocket.
Liam sighed and walked out of the room. He left the helmeppo as he is since he doesn't plan to get involved with this. He saw a few marines here and there but eventually got out of the marine base.
When he came out, he saw Helmeppo running out of the building while holding the gun. He laughed and shook his head. He didn't need to be there. He looked up into the sky and thought.
'Maybe I don't need to follow this route. I am a straw hat now. I can change many things. The only thing I don't know is if those changes are going to affect the future or not.'
Liam heavily sighed and looked at his skinny body.
'Anyway, I need to start training. After getting Going Merry, I should start training with Zoro. Anyway, I know a little bit about Observation Haki. I can learn it while being on the ship and also teach them.'
'I also need to find a devil fruit. Hmm…. Maybe if I am lucky enough, I will find a devil fruit. Anyway, I know what devil fruits look like. So, it shouldn't be much of a problem.'
"Stop right there! Who are you and what are you doing here?" Suddenly, a marine soldier raised his gun at Liam and shouted from the back.
"Gomu-Gomu- Bullet"
Bang!
When Liam heard those words, he raised both of his hands and turned around.
"Your Captain has lost against my captain. Do you still want to fight?"
Hearing Liam's words, the soldier didn't believe but when he heard the marines cheering loudly, he dropped his weapon and jumped up in the air.
"Hurray!"
"Sigh! Marines getting help from pirates. No wonder Oda had to make this story so light-hearted. There are too many dark themes that I don't even like to explore." Liam muttered as he walked away.
"Hey Liam, we got a new crew member." Luffy raised both of his hands and shouted as Liam walked toward him.
Zoro also turned around and saw him. When he saw Liam coming from Marine Base, he narrowed his eyes.
"What was he doing in their base?"
"Oh, Liam was there even before I went to find your swords. But, he is very weak and didn't come to fight earlier." Luffy laughed as he explained it to Zoro.
"Captain, I am only weak because I haven't trained. You are not allowed to make fun of my strength." Liam pouted and looked at Zoro while extending his arm.
"Nice to meet you! My name is Liam. I am a resourceful guy."
"Oh! Nice to meet ….."
Thud!
Zoro also extended his hand but before even they could shake their hands, he fell to the ground.
Grumble!
His stomach grumbled. Liam crouched down and tried to lift Zoro on his shoulder.
"I can walk." Zoro pushed him away as he barely stood up.
"Well, that's your choice. Anyway, Luffy, let's go and eat something. He is hungry, I am hungry and you are always hungry." Liam said as they finally went to Rika's restaurant.

Tim the Engineer
Summoned against his will to a world of swords and magic, an engineering student struggles to find a way home under the shadow of a world devouring threat. ***************************** Updates: 5/13/19: Revisions to several chapters for clarity, grammar, and style. 4/29/19: A short side story and artwork has been added to the blog. 4/8/19: A Side Story has been updated on my new blog (every writer is required to have one). https://talesfromliahar.wordpress.com/ ***************************** “The summoning scenarios are broken down into groups of ten.” Emi Ito stated. “Don’t, don’t you dare say another word.” Muttered Genzo Uchida. His eyes had turned bloodshot and his hands shook with rage. “The first thirty…” “Shut up!” Genzo bellowed “How dare you help these disrespectful gaijin?” Flecks of spit and madness flew from his face, his fist raised ready to strike. But Emi did not flinch, instead she was about ready to continue when Yuma Takeuchi interrupted her. “Uchida, please,” her sweet sounding words could melt ice. “I think we will have a better chance of getting home if we all work together.” When she glanced up with her sleepy looking eyes at Genzo Uchida he deflated visibly. “Were not getting home.” Uchida said coolly. “Group summoning, large, that puts us in the 60 series. No one came to greet us after five minutes of arrival. That leaves scenarios 68 and 69. In scenario 68 there is something that binds the large group together; they are all classmates or a single family. But thanks to the gaijin” he spit out the word “I think we are scenario 69 with no way home.” Ikko Inoue’s eyes went wide, while Katsukno and Hayata started muttering to themselves. Tim took on a serious look and rubbed his scruffy chin. Emi maintained her stoic expression while trying to find something to refute. McKenzie glanced at Randall and giggled. Randall took the prompting of his teammate and followed up by approaching Genzo. “Uh, so we are in a sixty-nine?” “Yes.” Replied Genzo with the seriousness of someone who’s life was about to end. McKenzie covered her mouth and snickered. “You and me, were stuck in a sixty-nine situation?” Randall pushed with a grin. “Yes, we are all stuck in a sixty-nine scenario together!” Genzo retorted in anger. McKenzie fell on her butt laughing. “What the hell is so funny?” Demanded Genzo, whose face had turned red. “It’s a problem with the automatic translation.” Retorted Tim. Randall, who seemed unable to quit started in again “So, about this sixty-ni…” Genzo interrupted Randall with a swift punch to the face. But, because of their height difference it was a bit of an uppercut that left Randall rattled. Tim and Ikko moved to step in between the two, but Genzo showed no further hostility. Instead he just stared at his clenched fist with such intensity it grabbed the attention of the room. “I unlocked a skill.” He said bluntly. ***************************** This is not a light novel, but people who like light novels should enjoy the themes of this book. ***************************** A Map of the Region
