'There are not many times I feel like I am an idiot but now I feel just like that...' Yuta looked at the cage he was in which was quickly filling up with water and thought to himself.
His current roommates, cagemates ?... were also not your conventional kind either. On one side Marines and other Pirates. Truly he was almost losing it watching them bicker and annoy him to eternity.
'I shouldn't have followed these idiots.' Sighing Yuta could only wait until the person responsible for this entire odour was done talking about his grand plan.
"So you are the boy who uses Miss All Sunday's powers." Crocodile didn't even bother giving the straw hat pirates and Smoker a second glance after somehow capturing them with Yuta.
Even Yuta himself wasn't sure how he was captured, one second he was sneaking inside the rain base Casino and inside Crocodile's main office and then they started falling, this bunch of no-good idiots started making noise and bam... he was here in this cage based out of one of the strongest material in the sea which also happened to restrained devil fruits power. This was Seastone, and he was currently inside it with no less than two powerhouse characters who were devil fruit users.
Just like the sea, this sea stone restrains the powers of a devil fruit user, meaning both Smoker and Luffy can't use their powers.
'How the hell even Smoker got here you may asked ? I have no idea.'
After leaving Yuba and that old man to his digging duty with some extra food and water straight out of his emergency ration to keep him alive until he kicks Crocodiles ass and makes it rain again, he just mindlessly follows straw hats who after a little argument ended up deciding to take down Crocodile after all.
Honestly, he wouldn't have done that, he fully intended to leave the Straw hats behind and find Crocodile himself, but after knowing that Luffy was looking for that sandman, he scratched the idea.
In terms of luck alone Luffy has all of them beat, there is a high chance that this rubber man will get to that Shichibukai much earlier than him by some miracle of the world, this world just somehow favours him for some damn reason.
So he just mindlessly followed Luffy and here he was, caged inside a sea stone prison. Now that wasn't a bad thing, unlike others his powers are not restricted here, but this just comes to show that nothing ordinary happens when straw hats are involved.
"Boy... I am asking you something." Crocodile shouted, bringing Yuta out of his thinking and upon seeing where he was looking, Yuta just pointed at himself like asking whether he was talking to himself.
"Yes you, now stop being an idiot and tell me, how you use Miss All Sunday's powers." Crocodile, smoking on his expensive cigar looking like a very rich mafia boss, demanding results from his underling.
"Who's this all Sunday you are talking about ?" Yuta asked just to maintain the Facade.
Crocodile already was looking angry and annoyed but after his little glaring competition ended, and now seeing any particular expression on Yuta's face he asked the beautiful girl standing behind him in shadow to come to light.
"You...Nico Robin. I see, so you should be Crocodile right." Yuta played his part, and of course just as he said this, other members of the straw hat group also snapped their heads towards Yuta, like asking whether he knew them.
"Hey, you know them. You never said that."
"So you do have a connection to pirates..."
"Hey... hey... can't you ask them to let us go ?"
They immediately started asking questions to Yuta's and the Crocodile's irritation.
"Whatever, lets talk once I am outside." Yuta just had enough of this never ending roller coaster of nonsense. He reached up to the seastone bars holding them back and started to use paper body to bend his body in unnatural angles.
To even Crocodiles and others' amazement and utter surprise, Yuta not only touches the sea stone but also squeezes through it and passes with little difficulty without losing power like most devil fruit users will do. Read complete versıon only at noⅴelfire.net
Before they knew it, he was outside.
"Paper Art, are you a Marine ?" Smokers were quick to recognise this technique. Even he hadn't mastered this one of the Navy Six Styles and he was a student under Zephyr. Though the part of it was that he never gave this move that much importance for his smok fruit ability.
"No, though I learn the technique anyway." Yuta didn't want to go dig that rabbit hole anytime soon so he just avoided the entire talk with Smoker. But to Smoker and even Crocodile, this gave them a hint. A hint that this person might be from the world government. After all, who else can master this technique besides someone from Marine and Cp Pole?
"Nico Robin, you said that this man had the same devil fruit powers as you do. Almost like he copy it from you. If so, then how he can touch the sea stone ?" Another question inside Crocodiles' mind was this, besides cursing the idiot who put those cage bars so much apart.
"Whatever, it doesn't matter, tell me who are you and what you want here ?" Crocodile now was getting ready to fight Yuta. It was visible how his demeanour changed and sand particles around the place started to float all around.
"I am Yuta Hiro...and I am a hero for fun." Yuta gave the famous lines with a smile and then went on to stretch his body, getting ready to fight as well.
"Hey hey... don't forget about us, how did you get out of here ..." However, Straw hats being straw hats instantly ruin the mood by shouting from the side and asking one question after another.
"Later... later okay. I will explain things to you later on. Just sit tight for now. I am here to help the country and that all you need to know for the time being." Yuta shouted back, getting irritated by all the noise.
"A hero you say, naive dreams...hear me kid and just go home."
"Again with the kid, what's wrong with you guys calling me a kid here," Yuta whined, now he was really getting annoyed.
"I believe it's because of your short height..." Nico Robin giggled from the sidelines making another tick mark form on Yuta's forehead as he looked now even more mad.
"I am still growing..." Yuta's reply was sharp tone.
"Yes, yes...you are already looking bigger than the last time I met you." Robin was having fun... from how much she has analyzed Yuta's character, she knew that he was pretty much harmless as long as she is not directly standing in his goal. Though powerful he rather not use that power in every single case.
She was right and at the same time she was wrong in some ways. After all it wasn't that Yuta didn't like to flex his power, it was his system which didn't allow him to do that.
However, upon seeing that he wasn't getting any additional quests, a grin form on his lips.
"Finally another chance to say this infamous words...
