Viper and Reiju sat down at Sanji's cart and ordered some Soba. Viper started eating and heard people talking "It's the crazy mechanic!" another man said "What do you mean?" his friend said "He's the new mechanic in the capital, I was someone compliment his wife on time and he threw the guy across town into a building!" the man was shocked and said "Really?!"
Reiju laughed as she ate and said "You're famous." Viper grinned and said "Maybe they'll stop gawking at you now." Reiju rolled her eyes and Viper chuckled, he grabbed some of her Soba and put it up to her mouth. She pouted and said "Really?" Viper nodded, she sighed and opened her lips and ate from his chopsticks.
Robin, Franky, and Ussop showed up and sat with Viper and Reiju. Robin said "Did you see the news?" Viper said "What news?" Robin sighed and gave him a paper, Viper read it and chuckled "Well at least we know where Luffy is now. Though I think prison isn't much better. Where's the mosshead?" Robin gave him another piece of paper, Viper looked at it and said "He's wanted? What an idiot."
Viper tapped on his earpiece and said "Connect me to the mosshead." Zoro answered the call and said "What?" Viper said "Where are you right now?" Zoro said "I don't know. I'm on a boat right now." Viper felt his eye twitch and snapped "What the fuck are you doing on a boat?! You stupid mosshead, i'm going to install a gps in your brain the next time I see you!" Zoro said "Relax, at least I didn't get sent to prison." Viper sighed and said "Cane add Luffy to the call."
After a few dozen seconds Luffy's voice was heard "Hello? How does this mystery thing work?!" Viper deadpanned and said "Luffy. It's me, where did you get sent to?" Luffy said "Wow! Viper you're in prison too?!" Viper smashed his face into the table and said "No! Luffy, are you fine?" Luffy said "Yeah, i'm sitting right next to Kid." Viper heard Kid's voice "Shut up bastard were not friends!"
Viper said "Luffy ask him where you are." Luffy said "Hey, robot arm guy! Where are we?" Kid said "Udon labor camp." Viper said "Alright, do you want me to come break you out Luffy?" Luffy said "No, I'll get out myself. Find the samurai guy." Viper nodded and hung up.
Zoro said "Well that takes care of that, i'm leaving too." he hung up as well. Viper grumbled "What's the point of these if you don't call in advance..." the group laughed and started eating.
A little girl with pink hair ran up to Sanji and said "Can I have some Soba please?" Sanji smiled and made her some Soba, the little girl took it and ran to the tables. Viper watched as she ran up to Reiju and said "You have the same hair color as me! Hahahahah" Reiju smiled and the little girl sat down and started eating, Viper said "What's your name?" the little girl said "Toko! Some people put O- before my name but i'm not a boy! HAHAHAHAHAH" Viper burst out laughing at Toko's strange self.
Viper grabbed her and put her on his lap and said "You want some of my Soba too?" Toko laughed and nodded, Viper poured the rest of his Soba into her bowl and said "Here you go Otoko." She said "I'm not a boy! Hahahahah" Viper laughed and continued playing with her, Robin said "Let me hold her!" Viper stuck out his tongue and said "No." Robin pouted and they started arguing.
Three men showed up at Sanji's cart and said "Oi Soba-man! You know you have to pay fees to be here right?" Sanji said "Didn't get the memo." they grinned and said "Then you should be here!" they were about to attack when one of them said "Look at that woman!" they turned and saw Reiju, they grinned and walked over.
Viper was playing with Toko, when the three men showed up and spoke to Reiju "What's a beautiful woman doing sitting around with these losers?" The air stilled and Toko started laughing, one of the men flared up and slapped Toko's bowl out of her hands and said "What's so funny?!" Viper froze and the men went back to talking to Reiju. Viper passed Toko to Robin and picked up his sword.
Robin, Franky, and Ussop said "Oh boy, that was a double." Toko said "What do you mean? Hhahah" Robin said "He's probably going to beat them up." Toko clapped and laughed as she said "Cool!" Viper said "How about you ask me before talking to my wife." the men turned around and said "You? I'll give you 10,000 for her. We're Kyoshiro's subordinates, she would be a perfect Geisha."
Viper was so angry he laughed instead and said "Did you just ask me to buy my wife? To become a courtesan?" The rest of the group backed away, and the man sneered and said "If you know what's good for you, you'll accept." Viper laughed and said "I think you should think about yourselves right now." his geta dug into the ground and he grabbed Yumeoibito's hilt and said "Dance of the Snake King." he shot forward and appeared behind the three men.
Viper swung his sword at the group, clearing all the blood from the blade and returned it to it's sheathe and said "Death blossoms" as it clicked into place. The three men had cuts all over their body and flew into the middle of the street. They landed on the ground and were missing arms as they passed out. The citizens were shocked and said "He just beat Kyoshiro's men!" another man said "Run!" as they scattered. Viper said "Sangoro get Toko another bowl." as he walked towards the three men, Sanji grinned and nodded before getting to work.
The three men were sprawled out on the ground as Viper walked over with rhythmic taps from his geta. The three men were terrified, the taps sounded like the death bells to them, Viper stood above them and said "Do you still want to buy my wife?" the three shook their heads and Viper said "Give me all you money and tell Kyoshiro if he has a problem he can come find me." they gave him all their extortion money and scrambled to run away. Viper watched them go and walked back to Toko.
He gave her all the money and said "Sorry they knocked over your Soba." he rubbed her head and smiled. Toko took the money and laughed "It's okay! Hahahah I can buy a lot more now! HAhahahah" Viper laughed and said "Yeah." Before he blinked and said "Is there a candy store here?" Toko nodded her head and said "Yeah! They have really good candies, but they're expensive! Hahahah" Viper said "Let's go!" he put Toko on his shoulders and walked towards the candy store with her directions.
The rest of the group watched him go and Robin said "When did he get that sword? And since when does he want candy?" Reiju said "He helped an old man a few days ago, the old man promised to make him a sword. He just brought it today." as she stared at Viper's back. Robin giggled and said "Reiju, he left." Reiju came back to her senses and blushed as she said "I think Whole Cake Island gave him a sweet tooth. Everything over there is made of candy, i'm pretty sure he ate a whole chocolate house." Robin shook her head and said "What an idiot." Ussop said "They have chocolate houses?! What am I doing over here then.."
Viper and Toko came back with a big bag, Toko had a lollipop in her mouth and was singing while laughing. Viper had a lollipop in his mouth as well and he was humming along with Toko's singing, the duo reached the table and Viper sat down. Toko was tapping on Viper's head humming and tilting her head. Viper opened his bag and said "They had so much candy in there! I got some for everyone!" he passed out smaller bags to the rest and threw one at Sanji. Ussop deadpanned and said "You got them based on our colors?"
Viper nodded and said "Yellow for the shit-cook, Pink for O-Reiju, Black for O-Robi, Blue for Franosuke, and White for you." Ussop snapped "Why white?!" Viper said "Cus you lie all the time and they didn't have clear ones." Ussop paled and the rest laughed as they ate. Toko gasped and said "I forgot about my job!" he hopped off Viper's shoulders and ran away with her candy. Viper blinked and said "Aw, she left." Robin said "Good now you can't hog her all the time." Viper said "We'll see about that."
Suddenly all the citizens came out of their homes and stood on the side of the streets, the crew was confused and Robin's teacher came by and said "O-Robi! What are you doing eating Soba! The greatest Oiran is coming by and you're joining her at Lord Orochi's banquet tonight!" Robin nodded and they saw a massive procession.
Toko was holding on to a cloth wrapped object with a lollipop in her mouth, behind her was a woman with blue hair and extremely tall wooden geta. Toko waved at Viper, who smiled and waved back and the blue haired woman glanced in his direction. Viper lifted his eyes and stared into the blue haired woman's for a moment before smirking and turning his eyes to slits, causing her to look away. Viper was silent for a moment before saying "Hey granny! What's her name?"
The old lady said "Komurasaki, she's the greatest Oiran in the capital" Reiju gave him a look and said "Why?" Viper said "Don't worry, I get a good feeling from her." Robin said "That kind of feeling?" Viper shook his head and said "No, a different feeling... Granny how old is she?" The old woman said "26." Viper grinned and rubbed his chin as he said "Interesting.." he tapped his earpiece and said "Connect me to Nami." the old woman pulled Robin away and said "We need to get you ready, let's go" they left and Viper said "Nami are you anywhere near Momonosuke?"
Komurasaki snapped her head around at the name and saw Viper grinning at her. Nami said "No, i'm with Shinobu. We're going to sneak into Orochi's palace. Chopper is with him." Viper said "Alright. Orochi is having a banquet tonight, be careful." Nami said "Got it." and hung up. Viper called Chopper and said "Chopper let me talk to the little pervert."
Momonosuke's voice came through "Hello?" Viper said "Hey brat. How old did you say your sister was when you left?" Momonosuke said "6. Why?" Viper said "Did she have blue hair? Blue eyes?" Momonosuke said "Yeah! Why did you see her?" Viper said "No I didn't see her. Focus on finding a girl your age. See ya!" and he hung up. Viper grinned and said "Found her." Sanji said "She's the little perverted bastard's sister?" Viper nodded and said "Relay to the rest, her name is Komurasaki. Tell them not to tell any of the samurai."
Suddenly
Three disheveled men ran in front of the procession and pointed swords at Komurasaki saying "You ruined my life!" The guards quickly took action and subdued the three men, before exiling them out of the capital. Komurasaki didn't even notice, all her attention was on Viper as she walked by she saw Viper mouth 'Kozuki', she paled and hid her face from the crowd as she continued walking by.
Viper chuckled and said "It's her alright." Sanji was confused and said "Why are we hiding this from the samurai?" Viper got serious and said "We will speak in the shop. All of us." they nodded and walked towards the shop.
Viper locked the door and spread his observation haki before sitting down and saying "I don't trust Kanjuro. Something about him feels off to me, and I know Kin'emon will tell him. If he tries to kill Komurasaki when we're not around then it's on us for not being careful enough." he took out a box and placed it on the table before pressing a button, the box opened and revealed a speaker he said "Cane connect me to the rest." soon everyone else's voice came over the speaker.
Viper said "Nami, Robin. Komurasaki is the little pervert's sister. Watch out for her at Orochi's banquet and send any information you find. Do not tell the samurai and Ninja, until we confirm there are no rats in our group. Brook where are you?" Brook said "In a well, at Orochi's palace. I'm going to use my soul to fly around and see if I can find anything." Viper nodded and said "Chopper what happened with you?" Chopper said "I'm with Momonosuke, O-Tama, and Kiku." Viper said "Who are O-Tama and Kiku?"
Chopper said "O-Tama and Kiku were with Luffy before." Viper frowned and said "Kiku is in the alliance?" Chopper said "Yes, and O-Tama is a child, around the same age as Momonosuke." Viper said "Let me talk to Kiku." Kiku's voice came through "Hello?" Viper said "You know Kin'emon?" Kiku said "Yes. I'm part of the alliance to take down Kaido and Orochi." Viper said "I hope so. Zoro, Luffy did you hear me?" The duo grunted and Viper said "That's all. I also took down three men from Kyoshiro's yakuza group. I assume they are going to send people after me tonight in secret." he chuckled and said "By the way Zoro, my sword is finished." Zoro chuckled and said "Is it any good?" Viper looked at the rest and said "Why don't you ask everyone who saw it."
Sanji said "I didn't even see him cut anything and their arms were severed." Viper laughed and said "Anyway, I want progress reports later tonight." they all confirmed and he hung up. Viper said "We should go back to our positions now, and regroup later." they nodded and left. Viper sighed and closed the door, he turned around and hugged Reiju as he said "I'm so bored..." Reiju giggled and said "Well, you probably have assassins coming for you tonight so just wait a while." Viper grinned and kissed her saying "You got a little jealous before eh?" Reiju blushed and pouted as she said "You could've told me what you were thinking!" Viper laughed and kissed her deeply.
A while later
Viper was standing in the middle of the street with Yumeoibito at his waist and a cigarette in his mouth, the rest of the crew and Law were off to the side standing with some citizens. Viper sneered and said "Is this the best Kyoshiro can do? A few dozen thugs and and overgrown lizard?" the Spinosaurus snapped "I'm a dinosaur you moron!" Viper laughed and said "Did you just call me a moron? You have a 'P' on your right arm and 'AGE 1' on your chest! Did you forget that you could just make the words smaller?" the dinosaur seethed and said "Shut up!" Viper said "Is it also your name?" He grit his teeth and said "Yes." Viper blinked and laughed out loud "YOU TATTOOED YOUR NAME ON YOUR CHEST AND FUCKED IT UP?! HAHAHAHAH"
Page-1 roared and charged at Viper along with the rest of the thugs, Viper smirked and leaned forward, grabbing the hilt of Yumeoibito and whispered "Dance of the Snake King." he shot forward and weaved through the thugs and Page-1 before stopping behind them and swinging his sword towards the ground saying "Fangs of the King." and clicked his sword.
The group of thugs immediately fell to the ground, dead. Page-1 had a slash mark over his chest, crossing out 'AGE 1'. Viper chuckled and said "Now it's just 'P' no need to thank me." Page-1 looked down and roared "I'll kill you!" Viper grinned and said "Whatever you say little lizard." he unsheathed his sword and held it at his right side. Everybody heard Viper's whisper, and saw a huge snake image appear behind him.
"Snake King's wrath."
Viper disappeared from where he stood and reappeared in the sky, he flapped his wings and flew towards Page-1 while slashing Yumeoibito in an 'X' before slashing the 'X' in two and sending a flying '✶' towards him.
"Venomous Bite"
Viper landed on the ground and said "Bring more next time, I barely even tried." as he clicked his sword back and walked away, ignoring Page-1's new chest scar. Page-1 fell to the ground and reverted back to his human form and Viper stopped as he said "Oh hello. You seem like fun." a man stood behind him in front of Page-1 and said "That wasn't very nice of you." Viper laughed and said "You were the one who watched him without helping." the man laughed and said "Wasn't my job to protect him. All I have to do is kill you. X-Drake will be here soon anyways."
Viper turned around and saw a big man wearing a hat with horns, he had a captain's jacket on and tattoos on his shoulders. Viper chuckled and said "You don't have your name tattooed on your body in case you forget?" the man laughed and said "I'm not an idiot like him." he drank from his sake bottle and threw it away before drawing his sword saying "Sasaki." Viper grinned and said "Vinosuke." as he cracked the ground as shot forwards drawing Yumeoibito and slashing upwards, Sasaki blocked it with his sword and the two started to clash.
Law said "Drake is coming, we need to go. He knows who we are, grab rainbow-ya and start running." as he put his straw helmet on and ran towards Sasaki. The rest of the crew nodded and grouped up around Viper. Law forced Sasaki back and whispered to Viper "Rainbow-ya, Drake knows who we are. He'll recognize our faces, we have to go." Viper nodded and said "Go for the alley, i'll distract him before Drake gets here and meet up with you then." Law nodded and the group ran towards an alley.
Viper looked towards Sasaki and said "Sorry gotta wrap this up. Send someone stronger next time." he bent down and shot into the air before shooting towards Sasaki and slashing down.
"Snake King's Roar!"
He slashed Sasaki across the chest, while coating his sword in Conquror's and Armament as the snake image behind him hissed. Viper sheathed and clicked his blade back in place, causing blood to spurt out of Sasaki's wound as he fell to the ground. Viper turned and ran towards the group, ignoring the two Beast Pirates on the ground.
Viper caught up with them and said "What do you guys think?" Law shook his head and said "You get stronger every time I see you." Viper chuckled and said "My bounty is over a billion now, so is Luffy's." Law, Franky, and Ussop said "WHAT?!" Viper laughed and said "Whole Cake Island was fun, and my bounty poster shows the old man's power, it also mentions I have dual devil fruits so that might be a reason."
Reiju said "The fact that you fought Big mom's entire crew by yourself and escaped probably didn't help." Viper grinned at her and said "Tell me your husband isn't handsome right now." Reiju spat "Who's my husband?! Bastard.." Viper laughed and picked her up as they ran, she crossed her arms and turned her head another way not looking at him.
Sanji snapped "She can run herself! You damn rainbow-haired bastard!" Viper sneered and said "Oi! I'll hold my wife however I want! You shit cook, blond-haired, perverted bastard!" Sanji seethed and Reiju blushed and said "Who's you wife!" Viper kissed her cheek and said "Who else?" Sanji almost kicked him through a wall.
The other three watched and were stunned, Law said "Hold on! You fought Big mom AND her entire crew and escaped?!" Viper nodded and Law said "AND you got cook-ya's sister?!" Viper nodded again and Law said "You're a monster..." Viper grinned and laughed as they ran.
The group ran all the way to Ebisu town and settled into a house. Viper was sitting at a table talking to Law when he got a call from Robin. He answered "Robin? What happened?" Robin said " Komurasaki was cut down by Kyoshiro. We took Toko back to the Oiran house and left Orochi's palace, i'm with Nami, Brook, Shinobu, and Kanjuro." Viper rubbed his temples and said "Explain." Robin explained want happened at Orochi's banquet and said "Me, Nami, and Shinobu are going to the bathhouse in the flower capital tomorrow. Kanjuro and Brook are going to Ebisu town."
Viper seethed and said "Idiot! I'm going to cut this damn bastard's head off!" he took a deep breath and said "Alright. Go to the bathhouse, we're already in Ebisu town." Robin confirmed and hung up. Viper said "Komurasaki is dead, although unconfirmed. We'll stay here tonight and see what happens tomorrow. Law, take this." he threw Law a NSICS with a cow-print, Law caught it and Viper told him on it worked and handed him a booklet saying "Read this and keep it on you at all times, I don't have the resources right now to make another." Law nodded and read through the booklet.
Viper sighed and walked into a bed room after telling the rest goodnight. He took off his kimono and got into bed, he sighed as he didn't feel Reiju next to him and mumbled "Definitely not going to sleep well tonight.."
A while later
Viper was tossing and turning in bed and the door to his room opened. Reiju walked in, closed the door and said "You can't sleep either?" Viper looked at her and said "I got used to you by my side." Reiju undressed and slid into his bed as she said "Me too.." Viper smiled and pulled her closer as he kissed her gently saying "I love you." she smiled and snuggled into his chest as she said "I love you too." she closed her eyes and fell asleep, Viper stroked her hair and smiled before closing his eyes and falling asleep as well.
The next morning
Viper woke up when the door to his room opened, he groaned and looked up. Law was standing in the door frame, he looked at Viper and Reiju and said "Very nice picture. Sorry to bother you but we have a problem." Viper sighed and slid out from under the covers, Reiju stretched out her hands trying to find Viper and frowned. He watched her and put his kimono in her hands, she pulled it in and smiled at his scent before going back to sleep, Viper smiled and picked up with sword before walking out of the room with Law.
Law and Viper were sitting at a table and Law said "Cook-ya is missing, but there's something else." Viper nodded and lit up a cigarette as he said "The cook probably went to spy on the girls at the bathhouse, I wouldn't be surprised if he showed up later with them. What's the problem?" Law said "Tanuki-ya found Big mom." Viper got serious and said "When did he tell you?" Law said "Around 30 minutes ago." Viper said "Cane connect me and Law to Chopper and cut my voice from Law's NSICS." Cane said "Understood." and did as he was told.
Chopper's voice came through "Viper! We have a problem!" Viper said "Law told me. What's going on with Big mom?" Chopper was silent for a moment before whispering "Severe Amnesia! She doesn't remember who she is! We found her on the beach unconscious and are bringing her to Obokebore town right now to eat." Viper and Law shared a look and Law said "Why are you feeding her Tanuki-ya?" Chopper said "I have an idea! O-Tama said that she knows someone who makes really good food but there's a short supply. If Big mom likes it we can bring her to Udon and tell her they have all of the food there, she'll break through the prison looking for food while we get Luffy and run."
Viper said "That's a good plan but what about when she realizes there's no food there?" Chopper said "Then we just have to run before she realizes." Viper looked at Law, who thought a bit before saying "It could work. We need Straw Hat-ya. This is currently our best plan." Viper said "What if she goes into hunger pang mode? She could potentially be a trump card against Kaido depending on how long she losses her memories for."
Law frowned and said "That's a risky play. She could remember at anytime." Viper was silent before saying "I'd say it's a 20% chance of success for Kaido vs Big mom. Chopper was are your chances at getting Luffy out of prison before Big mom's memories return?" Chopper said "80%" Viper said "Then we'll go with your plan. Goodluck, let me or Law know if you need help or if Big mom regains her memories." Chopper said "Alright." and hung up.
Viper pinched the bridge of his nose and said "Things are getting out of hand fast." Law said "We're still in control of the situation as of right now." Viper chuckled and said "We won't be for very long. If the old hag remembers and joins forces with Kaido we have to fight two emperors at once. We don't even know who Big mom brought with her or where they are. I assume Kaido sent someone to sink their ship when they were climbing the waterfall, they could be anywhere." Law nodded and said "There's a chance Kaido and Big mom fight each other as well. I don't think Kaido will agree to an alliance with her, unless there are special conditions."
Viper frowned and said "Do you think Kaido will agree if she shares her poneglyph with him?" Law shook his head and said "It has to be more than that, add several territories and maybe some of her underground resources." Viper frowned and said "That is a 5% chance scenario, but there's a 90% chance we have to face them both. 9.99% chance one of them is defeated, and a 0.01% chance she never regains her memories again." Law said "So prepare to fight both of them."
Viper nodded and said "Cane send the rest of the group, minus Chopper and Law, a message 'Big mom has arrived, number of children she brought unknown.' send them the details of her status according to Chopper as well please." Cane said "Already on it." Viper nodded and said to Law "Now we wait for the cook to come back and Kanjuro and Brook to show up. I don't think I have to tell you to keep an eye on Kanjuro do I?" Law shook his head and said "I'll be outside, sweet dreams" he smirked and walked outside.
Viper grinned and crushed his cigarette before going back to bed with Reiju. He walked into the room and saw he hugging his Kimono tightly, shivering a bit. He frowned and put down his katana before going back into the covers, removing his kimono from her hands and hugging her tightly. She put hr hands on his chest and smiled before snuggling closer to him, he smiled and stroked her hair as he went back to sleep.
