《From Ninja to Pirate》24

Surprising others isn't easy as it seems
And why you do it isn't just for the screams.
It's for the memories and the excitement it comes with.
To tease your victim, is that treasure in a myth.
Don't think that jump and yell will be forgotten.
It will last forever, in a diary it will be written.
So prepare for the laughs and giggles, that you provoked,
And wish for that moment to never be revoked.

Zoro managed to swallow his bile, impressing Natsuki slightly, as they arrived in front of a shady café. The board outside read 'Spider's Café" and Zoro was absolutely useless when he tried to understand why they were there.
"Zoro, you stand out a bit, so would you let me do something to you?"
"Depends on what you're going to do."
"Fair enough. I'm going to disguise you as a man with brown hair and glasses."
"How?"
"Just watch." Natsuki stuck her finger to Zoro's forehead and made signs with her hand. With a poof of smoke, in Zoro's place stood a lanky man with average brown hair and average brown eyes, looking rather nerdy if I may add. Zoro looked at his thinned down arms, and panicked.
"Where are my katanas!? My earrings? My haramaki!? I can feel it, but I can't see it?"
"It's a technique I learnt, don't question it." Natsuki also morphed into a younger girl, with long curled blonde hair, and green eyes. She became shorter, and her kimono changed into a hoodie and a pair of jeans.
She pulled on Zoro's arm and pushed the door to the café open.
"Welcome. How many people?" The place was open despite the early time.
"Um, two, thank you." A woman with curly blue hair, tied in a low ponytail led them to a table in the corner. The place was rather shabby, with slight dust on the shelves, and rips on some of the leather. Though the atmosphere was warm, with music playing in the background, and the scent of coffee touching their noses.
"What would you like?"
"May we have the spider special? Also, some raspberry cheesecake for me. Anything for you Roz?" Zoro took a while to respond, but thankfully it looked like he was just thinking about what he wanted to order.
Natsuki kicked him under the table, and he let out a low grunt. He quickly said he didn't want anything, and the woman walked back to the kitchen.

"Five? No. Six people." Natsuki assessed, using her haki to find out how many people there were.
"What? How's it that you know?"
"You'll learn soon. Just ask Luffy, if he still remembers how to use it... Anyway, what did you want to ask me?"
"How did you get that katana?"
"You mean Kusanagi?"
"Yes. That Katana is legendary. It's said that only the strongest of people can wield it. It was last seen with Dracule Tomomi, but she died before I was born."
"Twenty two."
"What?"
"Dracule Tomomi died twenty two years ago."
"How do you know that? Her death was a mystery."
"Well, I'll tell you loads about her. She's the older sister of the world's strongest sword fighter, and died after giving birth to her daughter, by the hands of other bounty hunters. She was married to one of the world's most famous pirates, and her daughter has a bounty larger than hers."
"How do you know all this?"
"The Kusanagi is handed down from mother to daughter. How's that sound?"
"YOU'RE T-" Zoro was cut off by Natsuki, who waved off the woman looking at them with wonder. "you're the daughter of Dracule Tomomi?" He whispered, and she nodded. Zoro was about to ask another question, when she kicked him again, because the lady arrived with their orders.
"Here's your coffee and cake. Enjoy, but first, may I ask a question?"
"Fire away!" Natsuki replied with fake enthusiasm.
"Why did you choose this café to eat? Surely there are others that are better, and closer to the port and city?"
"We wanted some peace and quiet, besides, we don't like that guy, you know, Crocodile?" Natsuki started, and she heard a bump and a crash from the kitchens. The owner glared in the direction but smiled back at Natsuki.
"Why do you not like him? He's a hero of the kingdom!"
"Well, I don't like sneaky bastards like him." Another bump was heard.
"Sneaky? How so?"
"Like how he sets up a café for getting information, for example."
"What on earth are you-"
"Come on miss double-finger. Did you think a disguise as trivial as that would fool me?" The woman took a few steps backwards and pressed a button on the wall. Immediately, six people arrived, all armed with different things.
There was a woman wearing a yellow dress and a blue jacket, with a lemon theme going around the whole outfit.

Then a man wearing sunglasses and a coat with the number five on his breast pocket.
Then a woman with thick and bushy red hair, wearing a Christmas tree-shaped tie.
Next to her was a rather slow-looking man with a massive number '4' on his green shirt, a sloppy dog by his foot.
Finally, there was a girl with brown hair in pigtails, holding a palette.
"How did you find out?" Miss Double-finger asked after she took off her shirt and apron, together with her glasses, revealing her tight leather bodysuit and sadistic look in her eyes.
"Well, it was a rather simple disguise, and there were six more presences in the kitchen, which is weird for such a small place like this." Natsuki ate a big bite out of her cheesecake, and smiled. It was delicious! The woman smirked in victory.
"Zoro. Don't drink that coffee." Natsuki told him, taking a big sip out of her own mug.
"What? But you're..."
"I'm immune to poison idiot. Something I decided to train myself in. Anyway, Why were you people hiding here?" Miss Double-Finger snarled.
"So you use haki?" the small girl with a palette asked.
"I guess you could say that."
"Who are you?"
"Oh, I hadn't told you yet had I? Well, your worst nightmare." Natsuki smiled, and a moment later, they were all the ground, unconscious after a massive wave of haki. Zoro stared at his captain's sister warily, as she gathered the bodies up, and lifted them up on one shoulder, and with a bright smile, disappeared again.
Zoro this time didn't throw up at all, and though he gagged, he felt better soon after. He nervously looked at the words inscribed upon the brilliant white building.
'JUSTICE'
"Where are we?"
"We, my friend, are at Marine Ford." Zoro wanted to scuttle into a small hall and hide. Why on earth were they at the base of the Marines??? "Well, I'm good friends with the guys here, and the people on my shoulder are pretty bad, so I thought this place would be the best to hand them over.
Natsuki, closed her eyes for a second, found the presence of the one she was looking for, grabbed Zoro, and they disappeared again.
"RAARRGHHHH!!" Someone attacked them, and Zoro let out a very manly shriek, but remembered who he was with, and where he was, and shut up.
"Ojii-chan, I'm doing you a favour, so no attacking the granddaughter please." Natsuki complained, letting the six people and one dog down, as she blocked the punch from her grandfather.
"Who are they this time?"
"Rebels against the Nefertari royal family."
"So the puppets of Crocodile then?"
"Yeah. Will you let me go now?"
"Yup, but we'll have to raise your bounty again. No one's supposed to be able to get here and out alive if they're a pirate." Garp laughed, munching on some rice crackers. Zoro looked at the two of them, and Garp finally seemed to notice him. "And who are you?"
"I'm Roronoa Zoro."
"Ah, Pirate hunter. You joined... you joined... someone's crew... I can't remember." Zoro fell to the ground as the old man scratched his head apologetically.
"He's your grandson's first mate Ojii-chan..." Zoro's eyes widened. So this was Luffy's grandfather!?
"Luffy's eh? Talking of grandson, have you found Sabo yet?"
"No. He and uncle Dragon keep moving. As if they're trying to avoid me. Though I do wonder why Sabo refuses to meet me though."
"I'm sure he has his reasons. Have you met with your father yet?"
"No. I promised that I won't meet him until I become stronger than mum."
"Talking of that, I heard that they might be giving that position of fifth emperor to someone soon. Though it depends on what happens within the time scheme."
"I know. Welp, seems that they've noticed me. I'll meet you sometime soon. Stay healthy! Don't die! Love you!" Natsuki told him, just as an army of men rammed into the room. She grabbed Zoro's arm again, and they reappeared on the Merry, where they were met with a stick to the neck.
"Where were you?" Fuyuki calmly asked, taking his stick back.
"Places. Also, wake the seasons. It's time to go." Zoro looked at her, wondering why she was leaving so early. "Gotta cause some ruckus before Luffy defeats Crocodile. Just placing the cushions before he makes the jump." Natsuki smiled, and told him to keep it a secret.
"Are we leaving already? I wanted to stay longer." Haruki complained
"Well, vent that annoyance on your enemies because we're fighting soon." Fuyuki instructed as he woke Uki.
Natsuki walked over to her two brothers, smiling fondly at the two. She left a simple clone to explain where they were, and took off, to save the world in secrecy.
