Chapter 7 - Reunion IV

(Third Person POV)

Right next to the docked Seliana, a crowd of pirates was gathered, causing a commotion. 

"If we can steal this ship, we can get a crazy amount of fortune by selling it!!" one of the pirates who was gathered there said, "Let's hijack it and leave!!" 

"Don't you think someone is guarding it?" someone asked

"Who the hell cares?!" Another said, "Just get on and steal it!!" 

As they ran up the ramp, their entire bodies were cut up, and they were sent flying. This caused the rest to stop, looking up in alarm. 

They saw a figure slowly come into view, "Hm.....?" a man said as he rubbed his eye drowsily, "Just what in the hell is going on here?" 

He looked over to the side, seeing the massive group of pirates. 

"Who the hell is that?!" one of them said

"Oi oi oi!!" another said, pulling out a wanted poster, "T-That's.....!!" 

"Fujitsune Ryoma!!" one of them shouted, "The White-Haired Pirates' First Mate! He's got a bounty of 670 Million!!!" 

Ryoma narrowed his purple eyes at them, "And who the fuck are you lot?" He asked, drawing one of his swords, "Don't tell me you have come to try and claim the Seliana? You fools....." 

He took a step on the ramp, emitting a pressure of pure intimidation. The pirates all stepped back in alarm, completely aware of the situation at hand; Ryoma was about to attack. 

"Shit...." one of them said, "If we can all attack at once, we might be able to overwhelm him!" 

"Try it." Ryoma said, "I dare you." 

His gaze was intense, causing their bodies to tremble in pure fear. 

"Oi!!" the pirates turned around to see a hammer swing at them, "Bugger off!!" 

There was a massive shockwave, ripping apart the ground as the pirates all flew away. Ryoma saw that Grey was straightening up and holding his massive black hammer. He then saw that the other members were gathering together. 

"Grey-san...." Eleanor was walking up to him, "Shall I participate in this? To show the members what I am capable of...." 

Grey shook his head, "It's not needed." He said, "Besides, I'm sure Ryoma and Brynden are itching for a fight." 

Brynden walked past them, "You got that right." He said as he rushed at the nearest Pirate, "All of these scumbags think they can spit on the name of the White-Haired Crew?" 

He punched him straight into the ground, causing a shockwave. He then straightened up and looked over at the rest of the crowd, giving them an intimidating glare. 

"T-The Enforcer...!" One of them said, "Shit, it's Brynden!!" 

"If you wish to die, step forward." Brynden said, "I'm itching to let loose..." 

"Ryomaaaa~~!!" Myriam ran up the ramp

Ryoma looked at the young girl, "Myriam." He said as she jumped at him, hugging him tightly, "You're doing well, it seems." 

"Hehehe..." Myriam smiled brightly, "I missed you!" 

"As did I." Ryoma said as Brynden began to go wild, punching pirate after pirate, "Come, let's await the Fool's return." 

Luna and Gabriella walked up the ramp and got on the deck, being followed by Grey and Eleanor. 

"Looking good, Ryoma!" Gabriella said, "How have you been?" 

"Gabriella. Good, you're here." Ryoma said, sheathing his blade, "I am in urgent need of a good meal." 

"Ha!" Gabriella laughed, "You got it, boss. You didn't touch my kitchen, did ya?" 

"Only to clean it." Ryoma said as Grey chuckled

"Where's the Big Boss?" Grey looked around as Luna sat on a chair, letting out a relieved sigh, "He should be here by now!" 

Myriam was still hugging Ryoma's side, "Oh yea, he would've loved to make a grand entrance." She said, "Did you talk to him, Ryoma?" 

"Last I spoke with Dante, he was at a Government Affiliated Kingdom, frolicking with the Princess and Queen." Ryoma said

Luna and Gabriella groaned in unison. 

"That whore." Luna muttered

Over to Brynden, he was finishing up the first group of Pirates as Eleanor was watching by the side. Then, another large group was charging towards them. 

"Does he need help?" Eleanor asked

"No." Ryoma said, "He should handle it with ease, these are mere fodder, Eleanor." 

"I see...." Eleanor said

Brynden was cracking his knuckles, accepting the challenge, "Bring it on." He said seriously, "I'll crush all of you in an instant...." 

"He really likes to fight." Ryoma told Eleanor as this happened, "It's what he does, Brynden." 

"And cooking." Myriam said, "He's good at cooking." 

Before the group reached Brynden, the entire area was hit with a powerful wave of Conqueror's Haki. The wave was so strong that the entire crew was caught off guard by this, save for Ryoma. 

"What....?!" Grey said, "This....wait, it's his!" 

Myriam was shaken up but immediately composed herself, "D-Dante!!" She said, a smile forming on her face, "He's here!!" 

Brynden watched as the group of pirates was on the ground, passed out by the wave of haki. He then looked over to see a figure crashing from the sky, causing a shockwave that caused his jacket to flutter. 

Then, a tall man with white hair appeared from the dust cloud, wearing a dark grey trenchcoat with black pants and a black shirt. 

Dante was smirking at Brynden, "Yo!" He said, "Looking good, Brynden! You been working out?" 

Brynden couldn't help but smile, "Dante.....!" 

The two of them swung their hands at each other, dapping each other up. The sound of the dap-up was so loud and exquisite that it would cause anyone to become envious. 

Eleanor widened her eyes, "That's...." She started, "White-Haired Dante...." 

"That bastard is finally back, eh?" Grey smirked, "Been a while since I've seen him, did keep in touch with him though." 

"Finally." Ryoma said, "We can finally leave. We have a mission to complete, it is urgent." 

"Where have you been, Dante?" Brynden asked as the two walked up the ramp

"Just here and there." Dante said with a chuckle, "But before this? I was having some fun with Whitey Bay!" 

"Typical." Brynden said

"Dante~!" Myriam said excitedly, a bright smile

"Ah, Myriam!" Dante said with an excited grin, "Long time no see! I've missed my Lil Sis!" 

"We're all back together, hell yea!"
