《Reality Check (One Piece Fan-Fiction)》Chapter XIII: Pirates vs Bandits
Advertisement
Third Person POV
"Hmm, seems like I caught a big one again, ay?" Leo muttered to himself as him, Sil & a sleepy Luffy were out fishing. Since he had said their deal was that he'd take Luffy out to sea if he learnt to swim, which can't happen anymore since he's a DF user, Leo's taking him fishing instead
"This is boring!" Luffy whined
"Not really, your gonna be having to do this as a pirate if you have no food left & you haven't seen a island in days."
"That sucks! Where's the adventure?! The action?!" he yelled & rocked the boat a bit, causing me to loose my bite
"Argh! The action? That's only when you run into marines or assholes." Leo didn't notice but Sil's eye shot open
"Uh, what's an asshole?" before he could explain Sil covered his mouth
"A word only idiots use!!" Sil glared at Leo while he just stared at him & shrugged "He's only a child!!"
"So? I was taught swearing when I was younger then he was." Leo then looked over at Luffy & his eyes widened when Luffy was slapped across the face by a fish
"Omigoodness, are you okay Luffy-san?!" Sil yelled at the young boy, Luffy had fell over as he had a hand to his swollen & red cheek with tears appearing in the corners of his eyes
"Damn bastard! Leo, the fish slapped me!"
"..."
"Leo...?" this had shocked Sil the most cause he almost fell overboard, Leo was covering his mouth to muffle his laughter but it didn't work. Leo burst out laughing that he was blushing a tiny bit & tears were practically rolling down his face from underneath his glasses
"I-I can't! Its too much!!" he was now holding his stomach as he fell over, this is the most he's ever laughed in years!
"W-What's so funny?!" he slowly calmed down until he had this warm smile on his face
He took his glasses off for a few seconds, to wipe the tears away, before putting them back on & was actually smiling down at Luffy. He reached his hand over & ruffled his head & made him look up at him

"Kid, you are the first to make me genuinely laugh, I thank you!"
"I still don't understand what I did." Leo just shook his head & the smile soon disappeared & he looked angry at the world yet again
'Man... who knew he could actually smile...'
Lyon POV
It felt nice laughing like that, I've never laughed like that, only if I'm with the AKAS or pops, they really make me happy. I docked the little boat & told Luffy to go ahead without me while I dealt with the fish, & I got quite a lot. I threw them over my shoulder & heard someone shout for my name, so I look up
"Leo!" I shook my head & waved, it was Shanks
"Back from your voyage a little to soon Shanks!" he merely grinned, once they docked their ship he jumped off the ship & tackled me into a hug. I didn't fall over but I accidentally dropped the fish onto Sil
"Hey!"
"Sorry." Shanks was now hanging off of my body as he wrapped both his arms & legs around me, I rolled my eyes. Benn then approached us & was able to rip him off my body, I dust myself off, pick a fish up & slap him with it
"DID YOU JUST FISH SLAP ME?!?!" I look down at the fish before nodding
"Yep, it was a fish bitch slap." he gasped & I rolled my eyes again "Your a grown man & you act like such a child, why?" Shanks merely pouted, soon enough we were approached by Yassop & he had this confused look
"Hey guys."
"Yeah?"
"Does anything seem off to you?" we both look around until we noticed that no one has come to greet Shanks & the rest of the crew, even so its rather quiet right now. We look at each other before he motioned to the village, which I nodded to & we walked over. My eyes widened at the scene before me, Luffy was on the ground & the same guy from before was pressing his foot down on him to keep him down
My blood boiled when I saw that even the mayor was begging for him to let Luffy go, Makino just watched in horror. Both Shanks & I glared at him but kept a calm face as we approached him. Makino let out another gasp before slowly turning around to face us, both her & the mayor's eyes widened

"There was no one at the port to welcome us, so we thought that something bad had happened." Shanks said as both him & I walked towards them "Well if it isn't the same bandit from the other day."
"Luffy! Didn't you say that your punches are as strong as pistols?" I asked in a mocking tone, he seemed to have glared at me
"Shut up!"
"Pirate, you're still here? Are you done cleaning already?" I stopped in my tracks while Shanks continued forward "If you come any closer your a dead man, coward!" I scoffed at remark, Shanks was then stopped when one of the bandits pointed a pistol at his head, I raised an eyebrow
"Why don't you stop where you are pirate? We don't want things to turn ugly now do we?" he chuckled, that was until Shanks looked at him
"Since you've drawn your pistol now, I assume your ready to put your life on the line." he raised an eyebrow
"Huh?" that was until Lucky had shot him through the head
"You killed him! You bastards!"
"How could you do that?! Cowards!" this time Benn & I stepped forwards
"Cowards? Don't be naive..." I said as I roll my eyes & lit a cigar
"Do you think your dealing with saints?"
"The people your looking at are pirates! Listen bandits! You can laugh at me, throw food & drinks at me! Hell, you can even spit on me! I'll just laugh it off, but... if you ever hurt my friends or family, I will never forgive you!"
"Shanks..." Higuma just laughs at Shanks's threat
"Never forgive huh? Pirates who float around the sea challenging bandits? What a joke! Kill them all men!" the bandits cheered, Benn & Shanks were going to handle them but I had my arm out in front of me
"No no, let me take care of this. I still have unfinished business with him." Higuma just smirked at me while I pulled out my bow & arrows
"Try & not destroy the village, Leo." Sil warned me
"I don't plan on it. ." as I pulled back on the string multiple arrows appeared & they only went towards the bandits, not a single one had harmed the village but a lot of dust surrounded us
"Whoa..." I heard Luffy mutter which made me smirk
"Don't flatter yourself bandit." I say as I blew a puff of smoke into the air, Benn did the same thing as he pointed his rifle at him
"If you wanted to fight us, you should have brought a warship with you."
"So cool!"
Third Person POV
"That bandit played a dirty trick." Leo muttered to himself as he rubbed the back of his head, he looked at Shanks & saw that he was freaking out. Higuma threw a smoke bomb on the ground & scurried away... with Luffy "Dammit." Shanks was then shaking him back & forward
"WHERE DID HE TAKE LUFFY?!?!" Leo sighed
"Calm down Shanks, we'll just look around & hope for the best that we aren't to late." Leo actually stopped himself "We should hurry before Luffy does anything to brash." they nodded & everybody split up to look for the young boy. Leo had never felt so stressed cause it was almost noon & they still haven't found Luffy
'Is this what it feels when the others worry for me...? It feels awful.'
He was thrown out of his train of thought when he heard a cry, he looked around until he saw Shanks carrying Luffy towards everyone else. He felt relieved but it soon disappeared when he saw that both of them were soaking wet & that... Shanks was missing an arm
"Holy shit..." he didn't waste time to rush towards them "What the hell happened?!"
"Oh just a sea monster, came out of nowhere & bit my arm clean off!" Shanks replied with a laugh, Leo shook his head & smacked the back of his head
"This isn't a laughing matter you fucking moron! Your missing a god damn arm!" he screamed at Shanks, he chuckled & ruffled Leo's head
"Who knew you actually worried about someone other then yourself & Whitebeard." Leo gave him a weird look before blushing & smacking Shanks's hand away
"Shut up! Tsk, h-hows Luffy...?" everybody laughed at Leo's sudden mood changed & that made even redder

(Rebooted version Synopsis) I was just a man like any other, until I got sucked into a world that wants me dead.

Between a character I had created in my youth who wants nothing less than to conquer the world in my name, a force made up of unholy monstrosities and the Forces of Light constantly trying to kill me, how am I to live peacefully or find a way back home and will I even want to by the end of my journey? I will do what is needed and fight for survival, even if it means becoming what the slanderous rumors about me proclaim as truth.
