Jersey A. Thomas

In the year 2685 D., a man named Jersey A. Thomas was born. His parents left him with his grandpa and he trained him to become a strong Navy soldier. But Thomas doesn’t want to be a Navy soldier. He wants to be a pirate in the world. As soon as he turned 6 years old, his father became a member of the World Government. His mother as well. And they both asked for his execution. As soon as his grandpa heard about that, he did all that he could to protect Thomas. So he brought him to a friend of his named Elvida. She is a skinny young lady. About the same age as his mother. Which is 35 years old. Has long red hair. She has red eyes along with a scar of across her left eye. Thomas lived there for his entire life. 9 years later, he wants to become a pirate.

Elvida went to wake Thomas up that morning and said, “Thomas, it’s time for breakfast. Are you awake?”

Thomas opened his eyes and said, “I’m awake. You don’t have to yell.”

Elvida said, “I wasn’t yelling. If you want me to yell, I will.”

Thomas said, “No, I’m good. I’m awake.”

Thomas got out of bed and got dressed. A little girl walked next to him and asked, “Are you leaving today?”

Thomas answered, “Yes. I will be leaving today.”

The little girl grabbed his shirt and said, “Don’t leave me. I don’t want to be alone.”

Thomas smiled and said, “Don’t worry Amelia. You are never alone. As long as you remember me, I’ll always be in your heart.”

Georgia A. Amelia heard that and said, “Thomas, but I’ll still be alone.”

Thomas said, “You are only 2 weeks younger than me. As soon as you turn 15, do whatever you want. Become a pirate, or become a Navy soldier. It’s really up to you.”

Amelia said, “You’re right. But I want to go with you.”

Thomas smiled and patted her on the head and she started blushing. As soon as Thomas saw that, he said, “Listen carefully. I know that I was always by your side. But we can’t always be together. You know that right?”

Amelia said, “I know that, but I don’t want you to leave.”

Thomas sighed and said, “Well, I won’t be leaving for a while. So why don’t we stay together till I decide to leave. How’s that sound?”

Amelia smiled and said, “I’d love that.”

Thomas smiled and said, “Good. Let’s eat some breakfast.”

Amelia said, “OK. Let’s eat big brother.”

Thomas smiled and said, “Yep.”

They walked to the dining room and Elvida said, “Thomas, you will be leaving us all behind. How will you feel about that?”

Thomas answered, “I’ll be quite sad. I’m going to miss all of you. All of you are right here though. So I’ll never be alone.”

Samuel said, “Well, you should get a move on, Thomas. Your father is sending some of his men here today. Don’t know who or when. But they know that you are here now.”

Thomas sighed and said, “I don’t have an old man. I was born here. Nowhere else.”

Elvida heard that and said, “That’s my boy. Pretending not to have any family except for me.”

Thomas smiled and said, “That’s how you raised me. So the only family I have left is everyone here and my grandpa.”

Elvida said, “Yep, we can’t forget about him. He’s a nice man. You would have died along time ago if it weren’t for him.”

Amelia asked, “What do you mean by that, mom?”

Elvida answered, “9 years ago, his parents sent word to the Navy and everyone that worked for the World Government to kill a man named Jersey A. Thomas. Or anyone with the letter A. in there names. But the Navy decided not to help out. Because if they helped out, they would have lost one hell of a Navy soldier. And that soldier would be your grandpa, Thomas.”

Thomas said, “I bet that it is.”

Elvida said, “I wonder what he’s up to now.”

Thomas smiled and said, “Probably the same thing as he’s always been doing. Whatever that is, I don’t know.”

Amelia said, “Your father is mean.”

Thomas smiled and said, “And mother. But I don’t care about them anymore. Elvida is my only mother.”

Elvida smiled and put her arm around Thomas and said, “Thank you for saying that. That makes me really happy. To think that my son loves me.”

Thomas said, “No problem.”

Amelia said, “You really are a nice person.”

Thomas said, “Of course I am. I’m also an idiot at the same time.”

He said that with a smile on his face and Elvida said, “Don’t say that Thomas. You may be an idiot. But you still have a bright future ahead of you.”

Thomas said, “You think so, too. Well, I’ll be in Dan Kingdom for a little while longer. Then I’ll set sail.”

Samuel said, “I see. But your fathers men will be here by then.”

Thomas said, “If they do come, I’ll fight them. If they don’t, I’ll have my fun. Then leave. It’s that simple, Samuel.”

Samuel said, “I see.”

Elvida said, “We made your favorite, Thomas. Meat along with noodles.”

Thomas smiled and he started drooling as soon as she mentioned the food and Elvida smiled and placed the food in front of him and Thomas started eating.

Amelia asked, “What am I eating today?”

Thomas smiled and answered, “The table.”

Elvida kicked Thomas’s head into his food and everyone started laughing and Thomas sat up and laughed with them and licked the sauce that was on the noodles off of his face and Amelia looked at Elvida and Elvida said, “Don’t worry about a thing, Amelia. I didn’t forget about you at all.”

She placed her food in front of her and Amelia smiled and said, “Thank you.”

Elvida said, “No problem. She has manners and you don’t brat.”

Thomas said, “I’m sorry. I’m not a person that could tolerate manners.”

Elvida smiled and said, “Oh well. We’re all going to miss you when you are gone.”

Amelia nodded and Thomas said, “I already know that you are going to miss me, Amelia. Plus, 20 days from now, you could choose to do whatever you want. And if you want to stay here, I don’t blame you at all. It’s for the best.”

Elvida said, “I agree with Thomas.”

Amelia slapped Thomas and Thomas felt that and said, “She didn’t like that response.”

Elvida said, “You don’t know how to get along with women, do you?”

Thomas answered, “Not at all. She’s a piece of work.”

Amelia smiled and Thomas continued to eat and Amelia finished before him and said, “Hurry up, Thomas. Let’s do whatever you gotta do before you leave.”

Thomas smiled and said, “Don’t rush me, please. I have a nice amount of food that I must eat to keep me satisfied. Everything that I need to do could wait a little while longer.”

Everyone heard that and Amelia looked at him and Samuel looked through the telescope and said, “They seem to be here.”

Thomas heard that and Elvida said, “Let me see.”

She checked and saw them and said, “I see. A first rate pirate. Mandarin, First Bandit Mandarin. Bounty of 500,000 Eagle Eyes.”

Thomas said, “Not good enough to defeat me.”

Amelia asked, “How do you know that, big brother?”

Elvida answered, “Thomas ate the Dora-Dora no Fu on accident. That man only uses a sword. Thomas will defeat him with ease.”

Samuel asked, “How do you know him, mom?”

Elvida answered, “Mandarin used to work under me. Till his methods got a little brutal.”

Amelia said, “So he knows how to fight.”

Thomas put his hand on her head and said, “Don’t worry about me, Amelia. I told you that he’s no match for me. As long as you keep those words in your mind, then you know that I’ll stay alive.”

Elvida smiled and said, “Thomas, it’s up to you. Use us to fight him, or you fight him on your own.”

Thomas said, “I’ll fight him on my own. Because he’ll just continue to send stronger men after me each time. So I might as well just go for it.”

Elvida said, “You’re right about that Thomas. Well, there’s nothing that we can do about that. It’s your decision. So we’ll obey. Amelia, you will stay behind. I don’t want you getting caught up in it.”

Thomas smiled and said, “Don’t worry about a thing, mom. I’ll take care of her. Till I leave that is.”

He finished eating and said, “It’s time for me to go.”

Everyone heard that and everyone hugged him goodbye and Thomas said, “I can’t breathe.”

Everyone heard that and Thomas started walking away and Amelia saw that and asked, “Are you ok?”

Elvida said, “I think that we killed him.”

Amelia heard that and said, “I’ll stay here.”

Thomas heard that and hugged her and said, “Well, I guess that I can’t change your mind. I’ll be off then.”

Everyone said, “OK. See you whenever you come back.”

Thomas said, “OK.”

Thomas walked to the exit of his home and said, “Here I come pirate world.”

2: Restaurant Owner, Rika
Restaurant Owner, Rika

While Thomas was walking to the restaurant where he eats dinner, Mandarin which is at the shore said, “Jersey A. Thomas, where are you? Find him, Carnell.”

Carnell the Sniper said, “Yessir.”

Carnell started looking around with his scope and Mandarin said, “I wonder if he left already. But we’ll search this entire country till we find him.”

Carnell said, “And if we don’t find him.”

Mandarin answered, “We head to the next island. Search for him there. And if he’s not there, we’ll continue the search till we kill him.”

Carnell said, “I see. So we can’t go back till we’re either defeated or we take his head back with us.”

Mandarin said, “Exactly.”

Carnell smiled and said, “OK. So when I find him, I can pull the trigger right.”

Mandarin answered, “Yep. Do anything you want.”

Mandarin started walking into town and asked, “What is this guy like anything? Is he a total sadist or something?”

The people of Dan Kingdom stared at Mandarin and asked, “What is he doing here? He’s one of the reasons why our country is what it is today. Pirates will always be formed and they will always cause a ruckus in this world. The marines should just get rid of them already.”

Thomas heard that and asked, “Where do you guys see a pirate?”

The citizens heard that and said, “Oh, it’s you Thomas. The man is headed toward the restaurant where you hang out all the time.”

Thomas said, “I see. Thank you very much.”

They asked, “What are you planning on doing? It’s a pirate.”

Thomas smiled and answered, “I’m going to use my power to defeat him.”

The citizens looked at him and said, “Your power. Oh, you mean the Dora-Dora no Fu’s power, right?”

Thomas nodded and asked, “How long ago did he pass by here?”

They answered, “2 minutes ago.”

Thomas said, “OK. I’ll be off then.”

They heard that and said, “Be careful Thomas.”

Thomas said, “I will.”

Thomas started walking toward the restaurant and 3 minutes later, Mandarin appeared outside of the restaurant that Thomas always goes to and walked inside and Rika asked, “How may I help you sir?”

Mandarin answered, “I’m looking for a man named Jersey A. Thomas. Have you seen him?”

Rika answered, “Not since yesterday. He might have left the country by then.”

Mandarin heard that and said, “Oh well. I’ll have the best sake that you got.”

Rika said, “Understood.”

She poured him a drink and handed it to him and then went into her office and called Elvida and said, “Elvida, don’t let Thomas come to the restaurant.”

Elvida asked, “Why? He already left to see you probably.”

Rika heard that and her jaw dropped and said, “Oh well. There’s nothing that I could do about that. Well, he is a good kid.”

Elvida said, “Make sure that Thomas goes all-out. The citizens are putting their hopes in him to get rid of them. They hate pirates even though he’s becoming one.”

Rika said, “I see. Alright Elvida. I’ll have him do what he pleases this time. But there is no next time.”

Elvida said, “Understood. Whatever damage he does, I’ll pay it off. He’s my son after all.”

Rika smiled and said, “OK. I’m counting on you.”

She hung up and walked out and Mandarin asked, “Who was that?”

Rika answered, “Elvida. The caretaker of a lot of homeless children. And if you are looking for Thomas, he has his own house that he lives in. It’s on the other side of the island.”

Mandarin heard that and said, “That place was destroyed 10 years ago.”

Rika said, “That’s why he lives there. No else lives there and he could train there all he wants.”

Mandarin heard that and said, “I see.”

Thomas walked into the restaurant and said, “Hello Rika. How have you been?”

Rika answered, “Great, how about you?”

Thomas answered, “Good.”

Rika said, “The citizens are crying for help, ya know.”

Thomas said, “I know. And they are all relying on one person.”

Mandarin turned his head and saw Thomas and asked, “Are you Jersey A. Thomas?”

Thomas answered, “Yes I am.”

Rika said, “You say it so plainly. You truly are an idiot.”

Thomas laughed and Mandarin took his sword out and tossed it at him and Thomas stood there and the sword flew right passed his head and Thomas turned his head a little and saw the sword and Mandarin saw that he didn’t flinch and said, “Boy, are you insane? You could have gotten killed.”

Thomas smiled and said, “You really are weak. As expected from a man with 500,000 Eagle Eyes bounty.”

Mandarin heard that and appeared by his sword and swung it at him and Thomas ducked and punched his ribs and Mandarin grinned and walked away and said, “You won’t forget about this, Thomas.”

Thomas sighed and asked, “Where are you going?”

Mandarin answered, “To my crew. To tell them to kill you.”

Thomas smiled and said, “I see. Get to them if you can. I’ll give you a 2 minute head start. I have to say my goodbyes.”

Mandarin heard that and said, “Deal.”

Mandarin started running and Thomas walked to the counter and took the phone and said, “Everyone of Dan Kingdom, this is Thomas. Don’t worry about Mandarin. I gave him a 2 minute head start. He’s after me, so let’s stay on the safe side and don’t interfere with our duel.”

Everyone heard that and said, “If you say so Thomas. He’s all yours, I guess. Have fun. We’re all counting on you.”

Thomas smiled and said, “Thank you everyone.”

He hung up and Rika said, “You really are leaving today.”

Thomas answered, “Yep. This country hates pirates. So I must leave.”

Rika laughed and said, “Dreams are not that easy to achieve, ya know?”

Thomas answered, “I know. And to achieve that dream, I must go on a journey and meet new people. It’ll be fun. Listen, whatever you do, make sure you tell me whether Amelia becomes a pirate or a Navy soldier. Or maybe neither. I would like to know that myself.”

Rika said, “Understood. May I get a hug?”

Thomas smiled and answered, “Yep.”

Rika went around the counter and hugged him and Thomas smiled and said, “I’m going to miss everyone here.”

Rika said, “I’m going to miss you as well.”

3: The Bandit Pirates Are Defeated
The Bandit Pirates Are Defeated

While Thomas was saying his goodbyes to Rika, he was letting Mandarin run to his crew. 2 minutes ahead of him.

Mandarin asked, “How much of an idiot can he be? He broadcasted it to the entire country. What is with that man? I’m serious, is he really your son?”

The citizens stared at him and Mandarin said, “And I’m getting all of the attention here because of him. What is he planning?”

Carnell saw that he was running and asked, “What’s wrong with him? He’s only been gone for 5 minutes and he’s running away. What’s going on here?”

Third-Eye Lynch answered, “Look at his ribs. He’s holding on to them like a monster hit him or something.”

Carnell looked at him and saw that and said, “Shit. What happened to you?”

Mandarin answered, “I encountered Thomas. And he has really fast reflexes. Like he knows what move you are going to make next. Like you, Lynch.”

Lynch said, “Like me. Wait, he must have eaten one of those legendary fruits.”

Mandarin asked, “Which one did he eat?”

Lynch answered, “I don’t know. But he reads your every movement. This man might have Haki.”

Mandarin said, “Nope. He wasn’t using any.”

Lynch asked, “Are you sure?”

Mandarin answered, “Yep. He wasn’t using Haki. I guarantee it. I don’t even think that he knows what Haki is.”

Lynch said, “That means that we have the upperhand here.”

Mandarin heard that and said, “You’re right about that.”

Going to the restaurant.

Thomas said, “Well, I have to go now Rika. They are starting to get on my nerves.”

Rika said, “OK. I’m going to miss you.”

Thomas said, “I’m going to miss you as well.”

Thomas walked out of the restaurant and looked around and tried listening to his voice and Thomas heard Mandarin speaking with his crew and said, “Shit. I was in there for more than 2 minutes. Oh well. This will be fun then.”

He started running toward the location of his voice and the citizens said, “That was more than 2 minutes, Thomas.”

Thomas laughed and said, “Sorry about that guys. I lost track of time.”

They yelled, “Get your job done idiot. You protect this island till you turn 15 years old.”

Thomas said, “I just turned 15.”

They heard that and said, “Oh, then you are gonna become a pirate then.”

Thomas said, “I’m afraid so. I’m going to miss you all.”

They heard that and said, “We’re going to miss you as well Thomas.”

Thomas smiled and said, “Dora-Dora no Lightning Speed.”

Thomas disappeared and appeared behind some trees where the docs were and said, “OK. I made it.”

Mandarin said, “Listen carefully. This man is a monster. If we take him down, we might be able to get a better bounty. Plus, we need the money. We’re going to kill him no matter what. If we lose, we’ll get stronger so that we could kill him.”

Everyone started cheering and Carnell saw a shadow appear and said, “He’s here. Or someone is here.”

Thomas walked out from behind the tree and said, “You found me already. Damn man, I was hoping that you wouldn’t find me. But who really cares. Can’t help seeing a shadow.”

Mandarin grinned and Carnell shot at him and Thomas stood there and asked, “Was that a bullet? I think that you missed.”

Carnell saw that and said, “He didn’t even flinch. He’s not afraid of death.”

Lynch said, “I wouldn’t say that. He is afraid of death. But he did something to his body.”

Thomas looked at them and asked, “What are you talking about? I don’t fear the word death. I actually don’t mind it. But I won’t allow myself to die.”

Mandarin smiled and his arm turned black and he swung at Thomas and Thomas put his hand out and caught his fist and Carnell shot at him and the bullet flew right through his body putting a small hole in his chest.

Then the air created a new patch of organs and skin there and Thomas said, “I won’t die that easily.”

Lynch heard that and said, “You can summon attacks without saying them as well.”

Thomas said, “It’s all memory made attacks that I used. Third-Eye Lynch, Carnell the Sniper, and First Bandit Mandarin. Are you ready to meet your maker?”

They heard that and Lynch took his sword out and ran toward him and said, “Blood Cannon.”

He disappeared and appeared behind him and Thomas had his arms crossed against his chest and Lynch put his sword away and scales started to come off of him and Thomas walked back slowly and Mandarin kicked his back and Thomas walked forward and Carnell shot him in the head and Thomas didn’t budge from that one.

He stopped moving and Lynch walked toward him and swung at his head and Thomas smiled and grabbed the blade and said, “Damn, that was unexpected.”

A Bandit Pirate said, “Sir, a Navy Vessel is coming this way.”

Thomas heard that and squeezed the blade and blood came out of his hands and the blade started to get cracks in it and Lynch heard the crackling sound and looked at his blade and said, “It’s cracking. You actually broke my sword.”

Thomas said, “It’s not strong enough to take my head.”

Mandarin swung at him and Thomas lifted his foot up and said, “Dora-Dora no Fire Claw.”

His foot had fire appear around it and Thomas kicked Mandarin in the face and Mandarin flew into the wall and Carnell jumped down and swung at him and Thomas swung at him and said, “Dora-Dora no Light Punch.”

His fist disappeared and appeared in Carnell’s face and Carnell flew back into the ship and Lynch smiled and said, “You took both of them out with ease. We will get stronger to defeat you. But when that day comes, you better be ready.”

Thomas smiled and appeared behind him and said, “Boom.”

300 MPH winds appeared and Lynch flew into the sea and the marines saw that and asked, “What’s going on over there?”

Vice Admiral Jersey A. James looked up ahead and Thomas put his hand out and Lynch flew toward him and Thomas lifted the other 2 guys up and threw them on to the ship and said, “You 3 are going to need to work harder than that to beat me. Can’t wait for the next time we fight each other.”

As soon as the battle against the Bandit Pirates ended, Samuel said, “The battle has ended.”

Amelia asked, “Who won?”

Samuel smiled and answered, “Thomas did, of course. He dominated them.”

Elvida heard that and asked, “Anything else?”

Samuel answered, “The Navy are here.”

Elvida grinned and said, “That’s not good.”

Amelia asked, “Why isn’t it good?”

Elvida answered, “Thomas wants to become a pirate, but the marines are in his way now.”

Amelia said, “Oh, they are enemies of pirates.”

Elvida said, “Exactly.”

The ship docked at the docs and Thomas looked at the Navy ship and Vice Admiral James said, “The Bandit Pirates. And they aren’t even that beat up. And they were knocked out so easily. Who attacked the government's dogs?”

Thomas put his arms out and said, “Dora-Dora no Aerial Wind.”

Thomas started flapping his arms and an illusion of a dragon appeared and the marines screeched and yelled, “A dragon.”

The Bandit Pirates ship sailed away and Vice Admiral James said, “I see. He took on the government’s dogs.”

Thomas looked at the Navy ship and said, “Oh shit.”

He ran and jumped on to the Bandit Pirates ship and left a note on the shore and Captain Akane walked off of the ship and Vice Admiral James asked, “What’s wrong Captain?”

Captain Akane answered, “I found this shirt. It’s got a message on it.”

Vice Admiral James said, “Read it to me please.”

Captain Akane said, “Yessir. It says, “Dear old bag, this is Thomas speaking. I’m leaving this message to whoever in the Navy finds this first. If you are reading this gramps, you know that I left the island already. And I set out to sea just like I wanted. The only way to stop me is to kill me. And you already know that that’s going to be hard. Well, see you in the future, old hag. Your grandson, Thomas.”

Vice Admiral James heard that and said, “That little punk. Only if we got here sooner. You could have used your Sui-Sui no Fu to put him to sleep.”

Captain Akane laughed and asked, “How strong could he be? You are a legendary marine. He’s a beginner pirate.”

Vice Admiral James answered, “I trained him to be a strong Navy soldier, but he became a pirate instead. It really pisses me off.”

Captain Akane said, “And the paint is still wet.”

Vice Admiral James said, “That means that he’s close by then.”

Thomas took a small boat and set sail to the next island.

While he was doing that, Vice Admiral James said, “Hurry up and get back on. We’re going to Nana Village. I bet you that’s where he’s headed.”

Captain Akane ran back up on to the ship and Vice Admiral James yelled, “Set sail to Nana Village.”

Commander Kane said, “Yessir.”

They sailed off to Nana Village and so did Thomas.

4: Nana Village
Nana Village

While the Navy ship and boat were sailing toward Nana Village, Vice Admiral James said, “It should be a day sail. Thomas is ahead of us by not that much. We should be able to catch up with ease.”

Captain Akane looked ahead of them and said, “Sir, the boat is going faster than us.”

Commander Kane said, “There’s no way that we can catch up with him.”

Vice Admiral James asked, “How is he going so fast? Oh wait, he’s not even headed towards Nana Village. He’s heading toward Deadly Waters.”

Commander Kane said, “And Deadly Waters sends out a tidal wave that could wreck the ship along with him. But his body might go missing if he doesn’t get hit right. The tidal wave should send him to Nana Village if I’m playing my cards right.”

Vice Admiral James said, “Let’s head to Nana Village without taking that route. I think that Thomas already knows this and wants to see what we would do in this situation. And thanks to our knowledge, we’ll prevail. We’ll stop Thomas in his tracks.”

As soon as he said that, a sea serpent appeared and Thomas looked ahead of him and said, “Not cool. Let’s see, what shall I do?”

The sea serpent jumped up and over his boat and Thomas jumped up and said, “Dora-Dora no Lightning Uppercut.”

He appeared underneath the sea serpent and immediately punched it’s stomach and the sea serpent flew up and Thomas landed on the boat and started sailing forward again and Captain Akane said, “He defeated the sea serpent in one go.”

Vice Admiral James said, “Well, there is nothing that we could do about that. He defeated it with one go. What do you expect from my grandson?”

Captain Akane answered, “To be a lovable young man.”

Vice Admiral James said, “All you want to do is sleep with him. All I want from him is for him to be a Navy soldier.”

Captain Akane said, “You know me too well.”

Vice Admiral James said, “Well, I’m afraid that I can’t allow you to sleep with him. Someone else will be sleeping with him.”

Commander Kane heard that and Captain Akane asked, “What do you mean by that?”

Vice Admiral James answered, “You’ll probably find out about it in 2 years.”

Everyone heard that and yelled, “2 years.”

Vice Admiral James answered, “Yep. And it’ll probably shake the entire world up.”

Thomas heard that and asked, “What is that old geezer talking about?”

Vice Admiral James looked at the small boat and Commander Kane looked at him and took his phone out and called Thomas’s father and said, “This is Commander Kane.”

Thomas’s father asked, “What is it, Commander?”

Commander Kane asked, “Do you know anything that’ll happen in 2 years? Because something is being planned 2 years from now.”

Thomas’s father heard that and grinned and said, “Don’t think about it. It’s probably just a misunderstanding. So make sure you ignore it till the news comes in about it.”

Commander Kane said, “Yessir.”

They hung up and Commander Kane looked at Vice Admiral James and said to himself, “It’s a good thing that he hasn’t caught on to me about me working for Thomas’s father.”

Captain Akane asked, “Who do you think Commander Kane just called?”

Vice Admiral James answered, “I don’t know. Ask him.”

Captain Akane said, “Commander Kane, tell us who you just called.”

Commander Kane heard that and started sweating a lot and Captain Akane asked, “Does that mean what I think it means sir?”

Vice Admiral James said, “He’s working for my son.”

Commander Kane grinned and said, “They found out. Shit.”

Vice Admiral James looked at Thomas and asked, “What are you planning, son?”

Captain Akane saw Thomas looking at the Navy Vessel and said, “He’s looking this way.”

Thomas heard the water rise and Commander Kane heard that and smiled and said to himself, “Die Thomas.”

Thomas turned his head slowly and saw that the water was above his head and Thomas said, “Oh shit. I’m dead.”

The water splashed down on his boat and the debris started to appear and his body wasn’t seen and the Navy ship continued onward and 3 hours later, the Navy ship appeared at the island of Nana Village and Vice Admiral James yelled, “Find Thomas’s body. Even if it means that he’s dead. Bring it to me.”

The Navy soldiers yelled, “Yessir.”

They all jumped off of the ship and started looking around the beach for Thomas’s body. While they were searching for his body, Commander Kane stayed behind and said, “You people are total idiots. He’s definitely going to appear before me.”

While everyone was searching, a girl in a bikini appeared and said, “It’s going to be a beautiful day out today. And an injured man will appear here soon.”

Commander Kane heard that and asked, “How does she know that? This girl must have eaten a Devil Fruit.”

The girl said, “I ate the Sho-Sho no Ka. Come down here and I’ll tell you your future.”

Commander Kane heard that and jumped down and walked toward her and asked, “What will happen to me?”

The girl said, “14 days from now, you will be defeated by an angry person. This man is tall, muscular, and has long scarlett hair. But I also think that he has a scar on his left eye.”

Commander Kane said, “I’ll be defeated by a man with anger problems. I doubt that very much. I’m a Navy soldier.”

The girl said, “He knows that. And because you are working under Vice Admiral James, he is targeting you.”

Commander Kane heard that and said, “Impossible.”

The sand started to get blood stains and the girl turned her head and walked over to the blood stained sand and started touching around it and Commander Kane asked, “What’s wrong? Do you see something that I don’t?”

The girl asked, “Are you sure that you don’t see the blood here?”

Commander Kane went to the other side of the girl and looked at the sand and said, “I don’t see anything.”

The girl felt skin and said, “Somebody is laying right here.”

Commander Kane heard that and asked, “Could you tell me if it’s a man named Jersey A. Thomas, or not?”

The girl checked and answered, “Nope. This person is a female.”

Commander Kane grinned and said, “Shit. I’ll go search for him now.”

He started running away and the girl smiled and lifted him up and said, “Don’t worry about a thing Thomas. I’m not going to let that man have you.”

She carried him to her house and laid him down on a bed. The girl said, “Heal up quickly now Thomas. You have a job to do. And you might die doing it.”

5: The Person in Charge of Nana Village
The Person in Charge of Nana Village

While the girl was waiting for Thomas to heal himself, a dragon appeared inside of his body and said, “So this is Jersey A. Thomas. I wonder why he’s sleeping. I, Serena, the Blue Fire Dragon Goddess, will not allow you to rest.”

While Serena was talking to herself in Thomas’s body, Vice Admiral James and Captain Akane walked to the Navy Base on Nana Village and Captain Akane said, “The person that rules this country is Captain Mark. He’s a new ruler.”

The citizens backed away from them and Vice Admiral James said, “It seems that they hate the name. We need to figure out why.”

They walked toward a restaurant and walked inside of it and saw a little girl and the owner asked, “How may I help you 2?”

They answered, “Some sake will be good enough.”

A girl around Thomas’s age walked in and the owner said, “Another new customer, huh. How may I help you?”

She answered, “I’d like some sake please.”

The owner said, “Just like them.”

Captain Akane looked at her and the girl said, “If you are looking for Jersey A. Thomas, stop looking.”

They heard that and asked, “What do you mean by that?”

The girl answered, “He’s in a safe place away from Commander Kane. I believe that he was meant to be here. He might be able to free everyone here.”

The owner heard that and said, “Everyone that tried to face Captain Mark ended up dead. And one person is already about to die because she killed his hounds.”

Vice Admiral James said, “You gotta be kidding me. What is with this ruler?”

Captain Akane asked, “What are we going to do?”

Vice Admiral James answered, “We can’t leave this up to my grandson. Tell every soldier to make way to the Navy Base. We’re going to free this country.”

Captain Akane heard that and looked at him and said, “He’s angry.”

Vice Admiral James said, “Get going, Akane.”

Captain Akane said, “Yessir. Do you have a phone that’ll connect to the entire country.”

The owner answered, “Yeah, it’s in the kitchen. I had to hide it from the Navy soldiers here.”

The girl said, “Don’t harm the Navy soldiers. Only Captain Mark. The Navy soldiers are also afraid of him. Because at night, he does some weird stuff in the basement. No one knows what he does though.”

Captain Akane said, “You can’t be serious. This country has a dark side.”

The owner said, “Yep. For over 20 years he’s been terrorizing the citizens of Nana Village. And if she says that our savior has finally arrived, we’ll need to wait a little while longer then.”

The girl said, “There’s one problem though.”

Vice Admiral James asked, “What is it?”

The girl answered, “Thomas is badly injured. He might wake up for another 14 days or so.”

They heard that and said, “14 days or so.”

The girl nodded and said, “I’m afraid so. He’s bleeding out a lot. And there’s no stopping it.”

Vice Admiral James said, “After you tell everyone to get to the Navy Base, I want you to go with this girl and protect him from anyone that wants to take him away from this world. If she says that he’s the savior, we’ll buy as much time needed.”

Captain Akane said, “Understood.”

Captain Akane walked to the kitchen and the little girl handed her the phone and Captain Akane said, “Thank you.”

The little girl said, “You’re welcome.”

Captain Akane said, “Everyone working for Vice Admiral James, get to the Navy Base immediately. Vice Admiral James will meet you there.”

Everyone heard that and started running there and Commander Kane said, “Screw you Captain Akane. I don’t take orders from you. I’m going to continue the search.”

Captain Akane smiled and said, “It seems that Commander Kane isn’t on our side after all sir.”

Vice Admiral James asked, “How do you know that Thomas is the savior?”

The girl answered, “I ate the Sho-Sho no Ka.”

Captain Akane said, “You could tell the future.”

She answered, “Yep. I could also fight. I’m from the Flame Family. Flame Selena’s my name.”

Vice Admiral James said, “I see. Take her to Thomas. She’ll protect him.”

Selena said, “OK. Follow me then Captain.”

Captain Akane said, “OK.”

Vice Admiral drank his sake and paid for the 3 of them and said, “OK.”

He ran to the Navy Base and while everyone got there, Captain Mark opened the gate and said, “You all came. I was expecting you.”

They heard that and Captain Mark said, “Come on in. There’s no point on staying out there.”

Everyone heard that and walked inside and said, “This is your Navy Base, huh.”

Captain Mark said, “Yep. Welcome to Hell.”

Everyone heard that and Captain Mark started attacking them and 20 minutes later, Vice Admiral James walked inside and saw that everyone was on the ground laying there and said, “It seems that I was too late.”

6: Vice Admiral James vs. Captain Mark
Vice Admiral James vs. Captain Mark

Captain Mark stood up with no injuries at all and asked, “Were these guys your men? They were weak as hell. Please tell me that you have more people. Because you aren’t capable of beating me all by yourself.”

Vice Admiral James said, “We’ll never know that until we try and figure it out. So let’s fight Captain Mark.”

Captain Mark said, “OK Vice Admiral James.”

Captain Mark went into his stance and started gliding across the ground and Vice Admiral James saw that and said, “You are a fruit eater as well. Shit.”

Captain Mark smiled and said, “Yep. Having fun learning your future. She’s only useful when you can’t see your intent to kill somebody. Your future is a terrible one.”

Captain Mark swung at him and Vice Admiral James ducked and punched his stomach and Captain Mark flew back a little and said, “Whoops, I should have expected you to be fast. You are a Vice Admiral in the Navy. Let’s try a different approach.”

He started gliding toward him and started circling him. While that was happening, Selena took her to her house and said, “Come on in.”

Captain Akane walked in and Selena shut the door quickly and said, “This is my place. Keep walking in. He’s on the bed.”

Captain Akane walked into her room and saw the blood on the bed and noticed that no one was there and said, “There’s blood there, but no one is there.”

Selena said, “Feel it. There is someone on the bed.”

Captain Akane said, “I’m telling you, there’s no one there.”

She walked to the bed and put her hand down on it and felt skin and said, “Huh. There’s a body here. But you can’t see it. How do you know that it’s Thomas?”

Selena answered, “I know a lot of things. Thomas was hit by a tidal wave not too long ago. He appeared and I was surprised that Commander Kane didn’t see the blood.”

Captain Akane said, “He was there as well.”

Selena answered, “Yep. I also read his future. Someone that has been enraged will beat the shit out of him. And that person is laying there right now. Jersey A. Thomas.”

Captain Akane said, “I see. This isn’t good. We need to find a way to wake him up.”

Selena said, “There is no waking him up. He needs his rest. Or he will die.”

Captain Akane said, “OK. What’s happening right now?”

Selena answered, “All of the soldiers were defeated by Captain Mark. And now Vice Admiral James is fighting him now. Right now he has the advantage, but later, he will fall.”

Captain Akane grinned and said, “If I was there, I could put him to sleep.”

Selena laughed and said, “You can’t put that man to sleep. He’s cursed himself. He’s not allowed to sleep anymore. That is how he haunts us citizens.”

Captain Akane heard that and said, “Now I feel bad for you people.”

Selena said, “I bet that you do. Thomas is our savior. I know that he is. The future that I tell is never a lie. It’s all truth.”

Captain Akane said, “I see. Well, I hope that you are right.”

Selena said, “I’m always right.”

Captain Akane said, “I don’t know that. Thomas doesn’t know that. Vice Admiral James doesn’t know that. We’ll find out when Thomas beats the crap out of him.”

Selena said, “You’ll see. Thomas will succeed.”

Captain Akane smiled and said, “OK. I trust you.”

While they were talking, Commander Kane walked toward the Navy Base and saw Vice Admiral James and Captain Mark going all-out and said, “Thomas isn’t here. Where the hell is Jersey A. Thomas?”

Captain Mark heard that and said, “Thomas is here. That old man asked me to kill him once I saw him. And I have a trick up my sleeve as well. She is capable of destroying this world.”

Vice Admiral James said, “You can’t be serious. Who in the world is capable of doing that, except for Whitebeard?”

Captain Mark answered, “I can’t tell you. But after I beat the shit out of you. Tell that bastard to come down to my basement. We’ll fight down there.”

Vice Admiral James laughed and said, “I’ll be the one to defeat you.”

Captain Mark smiled and said, “I see.”

He started going all out and Vice Admiral started falling and said, “I see. This is how you defeated them. You intensified your speed to let you go faster so you catch everyone off guard. This really is a bad match for me and Thomas.”

Captain Mark smiled and kicked him for the final blow and Vice Admiral James barely dodged it, but he did it and they continued fighting. Vice Admiral James started his attack and he continued swinging his fists and Captain Mark felt them and grinned and tried swinging, but he wasn’t capable of doing so because his body wasn’t reacting to his attacks. Captain Mark said, “You really are strong Vice Admiral James. But you can’t defeat me. Neither could your grandson. But your son, he’s on a totally different level. That man has the strongest pirates and Navy soldiers working for him. The only one that declined his offer are the Whitebeard Pirates. I’m kinda sad now.”

Vice Admiral James said, “I’m glad that Whitebeard didn’t team up with my son. My grandson would have died a long time ago if he joined him. I will not allow him to die.”

Captain Mark smiled and said, “Well, you should feel sorry for him. He’s about to die on this island. And he doesn’t seem to regret anything. What is he? A monster or something?”

Vice Admiral James answered, “He’ll die trying to complete his goal. And that goal is to become the Pirate King.”

Captain Mark laughed and said, “To become the Pirate King. Don’t make me laugh. That goal has to be the worst goal in history.”

Vice Admiral James said, “He will accomplish his goal one day. But no one knows when though. That is because he just started his journey.”

14 days later, Captain Mark smiled and said, “Here comes your defeat Vice Admiral James.”

Vice Admiral James could barely stand anymore and Captain Mark punched him and put a cross in the ground and lifted him up and put him on the cross and tied him up and left him there. As soon as that happened, Thomas opened his eyes and his body appeared.
