Viper woke up, when he door opened again. He squinted at the door and saw several figures walk in and sit down, he sighed and sat up while rubbing his eyes and yawning. Viper was still half asleep and he said "What do you damn ninjas want? I'm not giving you my pants." The group opened their mouths slightly and had no response. Sanji seethed and said "I want my damn sister back!" Viper narrowed his eyes and mumbled "Why do you sound like that blond haired bastard.. damn ninjas.." Usopp said "WoOoOo Give us your pants!" Viper grit his teeth and grabbed his sword saying "Never!" Robin quickly slapped him awake and said "Oi! We're not ninjas!" Viper rubbed his cheek and looked around before looking at Reiju and saying "Why are you in my room?"
Everyone looked towards Sanji and Nami said "He said this was the meeting place." Viper grinded his teeth and said "You brought them here on purpose didn't you." Sanji chewed on his cigarette and snapped "You've been sleeping in the same bed as my sister!" Viper got out and covered her up before pointing to the door and saying "And if she wakes up i'll make sure you sleep in a bed for the rest of your life." as he walked out mumbling "Damn bastards..." the group chuckled and walked out of the room, Reiju waited till they were all gone before getting dressed and walking out with Viper's kimono.
Viper was sitting down with his sword on his shoulder as he smoked and said "Well, what happened? Why do you look like that?" Sanji said "I went to the bathhouse and saw Nami-swan naked, anyway Orochi cracked down on people with reverse crescent moon tattoos on their ankles. We have a rat." Reiju put a mask on his face, returning him to normal and draped Viper's Kimono over his shoulders. Viper thanked her before saying "What else?" Sanji exhaled a mouthful of smoke and said "Law's crew got captured."
Shinobu said "His crew mates must've cracked!" Law snapped "They would die before they cracked!" the two started arguing, Viper rubbed his temples and shouted "ENOUGH!" they stopped and glared at each other. Viper said "Law's crew didn't crack. We don't have time for this. Although it wasn't Law's crew it could be anyone that we met here. All the samurai and Ninja." he looked at Kanjuro and said "You are my prime suspect. I had a bad feeling about you for a while now." Shinobu frowned and said "Just because he is your friend you take his side?!"
Viper said "No. I'm taking Law's side because I've met his crew and we had the plan to take down Kaido before we met Kin'emon. Everyone of the Wano allies we've gathered, including Kin'emon and Momonosuke himself are possibilities." he stared at her in the eyes and said "I will not risk the crew's lives on some friendship they've made with you or anyone else from this country. Not while I'm in charge, I don't care how it makes you feel. You know yourself if you aren't the rat, so prove yourself instead of complaining to me." he turned back and tapped his earpiece and said "Cane connect me to everyone."
Viper connected and said "All of you listen to me carefully. All samurai and Ninja from Wano including Kin'emon and Momonosuke are potential rats, someone leaked our plan and I will find out who it is." Luffy said "Viper, who do you think it is?" Viper said without hesitation "Kanjuro. None of the Minks would do it and Law's crew would die before they leak information. I have only met two samurai and one of them gives me a bad feeling. What do you want me to do?" Luffy was silent before saying "Nothing. I believe in them." Viper said "But th-" Luffy cut him off and said "Viper. ALL of them. Captain's orders." Viper scratched his neck and said "Understood." and hung up. He stood up and said "You're free. If I find a rat I will kill them regardless of what Luffy says. You've been warned" as he walked outside and slammed the doors.
The inside of the room was quiet and Reiju said "I'm gonna go check on him." and left as well. The rest of them were quiet before getting a call from Zoro, Nami answered and spoke "What." Zoro said "Tell Viper to calm down, I don't trust them either. Can anyone else hear me?" Nami said "No. Just me." Zoro said "Good. Blue haired girl calls herself Hiyori and said she's Momonosuke's sister. She said she saw a rainbow-haired samurai say Momonosuke's name in the capital, is that true?" Nami said "Why didn't you call Viper? And ask her is she was an Oiran named Komurasaki before."
Zoro said "Hey you! Was your name Komursaki before?" Nami facepalmed and heard a 'yes' before Zoro said "It was, and I don't think he wants to hear my voice right now. He needs to relax, he's been controlling information this whole time." Nami said "He needs to buck up because he has almost all our information." she got up and walked outside.
Reiju was leaning her head on Viper shoulder and said "Are you alright?" Viper sighed and said "I don't like these variables. Luffy is extremely trusting, but the problem is the rat we have is a deep one, so far we've met most of the 9 samurai from when Oden was alive. One of them is the rat, which means they've been hiding for years." he sighed and rubbed his temples, Reiju grabbed his face and kissed him as she said "It's okay, whatever happens will happen. We'll deal with when the time comes, you can't control everything." Viper smiled and caressed her cheek as he said "I don't want to put any of you in danger is all." Reiju leaned into his hand and said "We came here to fight and emperor. No matter how much you plan we still need to fight in the end. We're strong enough to take care of ourselves."
Viper smiled and gently kissed her before sighing and saying "What did I do to deserve you?" Reiju giggled and said "I don't know, you're a pretty big idiot." Viper chuckled and pulled her in and started kissing her. Nami walked outside and coughed, Viper pulled away and sighed "Yes, little sister?" Nami said "You look better already." Viper chuckled and Reiju laughed. Nami said "Cane connect Zoro to Viper." Zoro came through and said "There's a chick with blue hair here claiming to be Momonosuke's sister."
Viper said "Cane put me on speaker through Zoro." Cane said "Done." Viper said "Hello, ghost of Komurasaki. I assume you're going to tell me your real name?" she giggled and said "Hiyori. Nice to meet you." Viper said "Vinosuke. Why are you alive. Cane connect Zoro's NSICS to the rest of the group and leave them a message not to react." Cane did it and Hiyori said "Kyoshiro pretended to kill me in front of Orochi so that I could escape marriage with Orochi. Is Momonosuke alright?" Viper said "Other than being an 8 year old pervert he is fine. Why did you stay behind when your mother sent the other 4 through time?"
Hiyori gasped and said "A pervert?!" Viper sighed and said "Yes. Can you answer my question please?" Hiyori said "My mother wanted to continue the family bloodline in case something happened to Momonosuke, so she sent me away with Kawamatsu a Kappa. I lived with him for a long time before Kyoshiro trained me to be an Oiran." Viper clapped and said "Excellent. Now tell me who he really is." Hiyori said "Denjiro, one of my father's retainers." Viper said "How loyal is he to Oden." Hiyori said "Extremely loyal, so is Kawamatsu." Viper said "Good. Cane take off speaker and return to just me and Zoro." Cane took him off and Viper said "Look at that Zoro, you got so lost you found a girlfriend!"
Nami and Reiju laughed and Zoro snapped "Shut up Rainbow-hair! I will cut you!" Viper snickered and said "Try me blender boy. My new style needs a decent opponent. How did you find her anyway?" Zoro said "Some bastard stole Shusui from me and I chased after him. She came running along and that Killer guy from Kid's crew was chasing her, I defeated him and she bandaged me up in the cemetery." Viper looked at the sky and said "Do you have Shusui now? This is the second time it's gotten stolen from you." Zoro grit his teeth and said "No, it was returned to Ryuma's grave. I'm going to get it back later." Viper said "Alright, remember use protection." and hung up before Zoro could speak as he chuckled.
Reiju gave him a look and said "Even Zoro eh?" Viper saw the look in her eyes and gulped, Nami said "Alright I don't need to see this. Let's go back inside." Viper chuckled and followed Nami back into the house with Reiju, a man with a big head followed them as well.
They walked back into the house and Sanji said "Who's that?" Viper turned around and said "I don't know but he kinda looks like Toko." the man said "I'm Yasu! Toko's my daughter! Hahahah" Viper smiled and said "I'm Vinosuke, you have a really cute daughter." Yasu smiled and said "Thank you. Hahaha" he held up a paper and said "Fighting on the night of the fire festival?" Viper nodded and Yasu said to Shinobu and Kanjuro "Tell Kin'emon I will be at the front lines! Hahahahah" before he walked out. Viper said "He's a great guy." Nami smacked him and said "You don't even know him!"
The next day
Viper woke up with Reiju when Sanji rushed into his room and said "Yasu going to be executed in the Flower Capital!" Viper seethed and said "What?!" he immediately got up and said "Let's go." as he draped his kimono over his shoulders and slid Yumeoibito onto his hip. Reiju got up and got dressed as well, Viper said "You have your suit?" Reiju nodded and showed him the box, Viper grinned and said "Time for 'Poison Death' to make her first debut." Reiju smiled and they joined the rest.
Viper said "How much time do we have?" Law said "Not much." Viper nodded and transformed into his dragon point as said "They like dragons don't they? They won't for long." everybody got on and Viper flew towards the Flower Capital like a missile.
Yasu was tied to a crucifix and said "The flyers were all a joke by me! I used the reverse moon symbol because it was a popular symbol from the past. Hahahaha Curse you Orochi! I created it to spite you! Hhahahaah" Orochi seethed and said "Kill him!" Orochi's subordinates readied their guns and fired.
All of a sudden
A massive dragon appeared and blocked all the bullets, with it's black coated skin. The citizens were shocked and Orochi was terrified. The dragon was naturally Viper, who made it just in time, he said "Orochi!! The red scabbards might not be real but I will kill you myself!" he smashed his tail into the crucifix, freeing Yasu and caught him before landing on the ground and roaring. The rest of the group jumped off and landed on the ground before charging towards Orochi and his subordinates.
Viper carried Yasu to safety and said "Don't die old man. Toko would be sad." as he flew back to the battle, Yasu watched him go before laughing and saying "You've got some strong friends Toko.."
Viper landed back on the battle field and blew out a wind breath at a group of Orochi's subordinates, before reverting to normal and running towards Orochi himself. He saw Zoro fighting against a blue haired man and ran towards him, he jumped into the air and said "Give me a boost mosshead!" Zoro turned around and stretched out his arm, Viper landed on it and Zoro swung it forward as Viper pushed off and spun in the air as he shot towards Orochi. Viper swung his sword at Orochi in the air, a huge black snake with red eyes and horns appeared behind him.
"Snake Demon's Hell!"
As Viper slashed the snake behind him shot past him and spiraled as it made it's way towards the shogun. Orochi collapsed to the ground in fear as the snake got closer to him, just when it was about to get him someone blocked the strike. Viper turned around and saw Zoro wasn't fighting the blue haired man anymore, the dust cleared and revealed the blue haired man. Orochi said "Kyoshiro, thank you again." Kyoshiro shrugged it off and said "Don't worry about it." Viper stood still and said "You're Kyoshiro?"
Kyoshiro nodded and Viper said "I killed everyone you sent after me when I severed those three guys' arms." Kyoshiro said "That was you?" Viper nodded and readied Yumeoibito. Kyoshiro charged at him and swung his katana, causing Viper to block him and he backed off as Kyoshiro continued to attack him. Viper said "Cane send Zoro a message not to kill Orochi for now." Kyoshiro was confused and Viper kept backing off until they were further from Orochi. He said "Hiyori told me who you really were. Why are you protecting Orochi even now?" as he slashed forward.
Kyoshiro, or rather Denjiro was shocked and said "It's not time yet." Viper nodded and said "Very well. I hope you know what you're doing." before Viper jumped over him and ran back to another battle, Denjiro watched him go silently.
Viper tapped his earpiece and said "Send everyone who's fighting a message 'Denjiro said it wasn't time for Orochi it die'" As he shot forward slashing a group of Orochi's subordinates. Viper looked up and saw the pink smoke, he smiled and said "Finally."
Reiju appeared in her new suit, shocking the rest of the crew that hadn't seen it. She unfurled her wings and flew forward towards a group of Orochi's subordinates and taking them out. Viper was just staring at her go and slashing whoever came near him, completely enamored by her. He heard a call and answered, Reiju's voice came through "Beautiful?" Viper said "Most beautiful in the world." Reiju was silent before saying "I love you." and hanging up. Viper just stood there frozen before Nami came over and slapped the back of his head saying "Idiot! Wake up! You're in the middle of a battlefield! You can gawk later!"
Viper blinked and chuckled as he said "Oh yeah! Forgot about that." he looked around and found Zoro and said "Oi blender! Your looking pretty weak today!" Zoro whipped his head over and said "What did you say, garden snake?!" Viper grinned and charged towards him as he said "I said. You look like shit!" as he slashed behind Zoro, taking out a group of Orochi's goons. He landed behind Zoro and said "I'm pretty sure that was at least 27 people."
Zoro grinned and slashed another group as he said "34." Viper grit his teeth and said "Bastard.." as he slashed at another group and said "76." Zoro slashed at another and said "89" Viper flew towards the largest group and slashed horizontally and said "134." Zoro slashed at two groups and said "162" Viper looked around and cursed "You took out the rest!" as he walked back.
Zoro chuckled and said "You lose again." Viper spat "Bite me." before turning to Hiyori and Toko and saying "Hello, Zoro's girlfriend. We finally meet in person." Hiyori blushed and Toko jumped into Viper's arms and said "Thank you for saving my dad! Hahahah" Viper smiled warmly and stroked her head as he put her on his shoulders and said "No problem O-Toko! Hahahah" Toko snapped "I'm not a boy! Hahahaha"
Zoro said "You make Reiju that suit?" Viper smiled and said "Yep, 'Poison Death V1' you like it?" Reiju flew into the air and landed next to Viper and turned her mask into a collar and said "This suit is the best!" she jumped into his arms and hugged him. Viper hugged her before giving Zoro a look and grinning.
Zoro rolled his eyes and the rest of the group gathered around them. Toko jumped off Viper shoulders into Yasu's arms and hugged him, Viper muttered something about being a lucky bastard and Reiju giggled before whispering in his ear. Viper almost fainted for shock and mumbled "How many did you say..." Reiju giggled and covered his mouth. The rest rolled their eyes and Zoro said "What do we do now?" Nami said "We need to wait for this idiot to wake up. We've been following his orders the entire time." Zoro punched at Viper who caught his fist and said "What mosshead."
Zoro grinned and said "Use that brain of yours and come up with a plan." Viper said "Yasu has to alter the secret message. Shinobu and Sanji go free the prisoners in Rasetsu Town. Nami, Brook and Kanjuro bring the message that Yasu altered to Kin'emon. Zoro get a new damn sword with your girlfriend." Hiyori blushed and he turned to Yasu and Toko "Oi old man, go home. Stay there with Toko and wait for us to take down Kaido." Viper grinned and said "There ya go, great plan!"
Sanji said "What about you, my sister, Robin, Ussop, and Franky?" Viper said "Right. Robin, Reiju, Ussop, and Franky are going with Nami to the rest of the Scabbards." The crew were shocked and Viper said "What?" Robin said incredulously "You're separating from Reiju?!" Viper was stunned and said "Do I look like a puppy to you?" they nodded and Viper grinded his teeth and said "I'm not." Reiju giggled and said "Where are you going?" Viper said "Udon. It's time for Luffy to leave prison." he touched his scar and said "Plus that old hag's there, I'll be sure to give her a lasting memory."
The crew nodded and quickly separated, Reiju was about to leave when she turned around and kissed Viper and said "Be careful. I'm waiting for you." Viper smiled and kissed her forehead and said "I will." Reiju smiled and left with her group, leaving Viper alone. He watched her go until they disappeared and transformed into his sharp point before flying off towards Udon Prison.
A while later
Viper landed in Udon prison and reverted to his human form and said "Why the fuck is this place so far away?!" everyone looked at him and a man with an elephant head snapped "Who are you?!" Viper cracked his neck and said "Who's askin?" as he lit a cigarette. The man said "Warden of this prison Babanuki!" Viper exhaled a mouthful of smoke and said "I was sent here by Kaido. He told me to find a guy with a Straw Hat. You know where he is?" Babanuki pointed towards Luffy.
Viper turned around and said "Hey Luffy! Why are you still here?" Luffy said "Hey Viper! I'm gonna get all the prisoners to join our alliance!" Viper nodded and said "Hm, that's a good idea.." He turned around and said "Oi! Elephant man! Release all the prisoners!" Babanuki blinked and snapped "Kaido didn't send you here!" Viper sighed and said "Are you an idiot? Of course not! I'm here to free my captain." he shook his head and walked towards Luffy and said "Is this guy really that stupid?" Luffy shrugged.
Babanuki snapped and said "Attack them!" and the prisoners started attacking them, Viper said "Weren't you supposed to free them?" Luffy frowned and said "I guess they refused." Viper chuckled and said "The enemies have strange clothes right?" Luffy nodded and Viper grabbed Yumeoibito's hilt and said "Snake King's Dance" as he disappeared.
He reappeared behind a large group of Beast Pirate goons and said "Petals of blood." as he clicked the sword back into his sheathe. The group of goons all spurted blood from their bodies and collapsed. Viper walked back towards Luffy while slashing anyone who came near, using the back of his blade for prisoners and the edge for guards. Viper walked back to Luffy and said "I thought Big mom was here. These guys are boring." Luffy said "I know. I can't even train with them."
Viper was interested and said "Train?" Luffy said "I'm trying to send someone flying without punching them with my Haki." Viper blinked and said "You can do that?" Luffy nodded and pointed to an old man next to him and said "He can do it too. Rayleigh showed me." Viper got excited and said "I want to learn!" he sheathed his blade and started punching people with Haki coated fists.
Luffy said "No, no it's like this!" as he too started punching people. Viper said "Ohhh" and started to punch like Luffy. The old man sighed and said "You're both doing it wrong. It's like this." as he actually did it. Viper and Luffy watched and tried doing the same, but failed.
Luffy suddenly grabbed one of the prisoners and said "Why are you helping Kaido?!" one of the prisoners said "We don't want to suffer anymore by going against Kaido!" Luffy slapped him and said "You're suffering right now! That guy turned you into a Mummy! The only way to be free is to beat Kaido!" The prisoners stopped and started fighting against the guards instead, having been won over by Luffy. Viper said "These guys really are idiots!"
Babanuki snapped and was about to shoot another cannon ball full of the virus that turned the prisoners into mummies, but Luffy tied up his trunk causing him to blow up instead. The prisoners and Luffy's allies quickly ended the battle and were successfully freed from prison. Chopper quickly got to work curing the disease and Viper saw Kid and Killer leaving, he waved and said "See you later Kid! If you need me to fix Killer I might be able to!" Kid stopped and Killer laughed, Viper said "Though I think he's better when he laughs heheh" Kid grit his teeth and said "Fix him."
Viper grinned and said "Come here clown." Killer laughed uncontrollably and Kid brought him to Viper, who laughed himself and said "There's actually a whole town who laughs all the time too. That Orochi bastard fed them all defective smiles as well." he grit his teeth and started working on a cure for Killer's smile induced laugh.
A while later
Viper finished making a cure and fed it to Killer, who drank it and immediately stopped laughing and said with a completely emotionless face "Thanks." Viper mumbled "Now you're just an asshole.." Kid laughed and said "Hey you're cured!" before he turned to Viper and said "Thanks." Viper mumbled "Two assholes.." the duo thanked him and left. Viper turned around and looked towards Raizo and the two others with him before walking over.
Viper said "Oi! Ninja guy! Who are these two.. uh guys?" Raizo said "The Kappa fishman is Kawamatsu, and the tall err.. woman is Kiku." Kawamatsu said "Hello." and Kiku said "Hello." Viper sat down and said "Hi! I'm Viper or Vinosuke. Whatever you wanna call me. I met Hiyori and she talked about you Kawamatsu." Kawamatsu was relieved and said "It's good that she's alive." Viper nodded and said "Yeah, she's with her boyfriend right now though so I don't know where they went..." Kawamatsu snapped "Boyfriend?! I have to go!" Viper shouted "His name is Zoro! Tell him I said Hi!" Kawamatsu ran away cursing as he went.
Viper watched him go and chuckled evilly, Raizo said "Isn't Zoro your crewmate?" Viper said "Yeah, but he also mocked me earlier. He must've thought I forgot but hehehe" Raizo was stunned and Kiku giggled and said "Nice to meet you Viper." Viper smiled and said "You too Kiku..." he squinted at her features and said "You look sort of familiar.." Kiku said "I have a brother named Izo."
Viper's eyes widened as he said "Does he wear lipstick, black hair, two guns and was with the Whitebeard pirates?!" he he grabbed Kiku's shoulders and shook her slightly. Kiku said "Yeah! Do you know him?" Viper let go and raised his right arm showing her the Bisento tattoo and said "I was with Izo and the rest of Whitebeard's crew for two years! He's like family."
Kiku tackled him and said "You have to tell me about him!" Viper started talking about Izo, the war and everything that happened during the two years after, Kiku listened and laughed, cried, and got angry. Viper said "I haven't seen him since he left Sphinx.." as he sighed, Kiku said "I haven't seen him in years.. I miss him." Viper patted her shoulders and said "Maybe he'll come back here one day, if he does tell him I said Hi" Kiku nodded and said "I will, Thank you for telling me Viper." Viper waved her off and said "Don't worry about it."
A while later
Chopper finally finished curing all the prisoners, and Luffy was talking to the old man, who was named Hyogoro, Luffy said "Hey old man Hyo! Teach me how to do the Haki thing!" four people suddenly grabbed Luffy and tried to kill him. Viper shot forward with his sword at a woman, he put the sword to her neck and said "Let him go, or she dies." The other three glared at him and Hyogoro ran up and said "Stop! That Straw Hat man is my friend!" they reluctantly let Luffy go, and Viper took back his sword and sheathed it. The woman turned around and said "You've got a pretty fiery temper.. I like that." Viper grinned and pushed up her chin with his hilt as he said "Sorry sweetheart, i'm a married man." she pouted and turned away, while Viper chuckled.
The four introduced themselves as Omasa, Tsunagoro, Cho, and Yatappe. Cho being the woman, as they said that they themselves would go and recruit the rest of the rebels around the country. Luffy and Viper started training to project their Haki like Hyogoro, Viper also sparred against Kiku to improve his new style in preparation for the upcoming battle.
(Author's Note)
Hey guys! So uh kinda closing in on the end of the story so far. I have some ideas about how to continue but I want to know if you guys want to keep Viper's view point or switch between the crew.
I don't really have an excellent view on how to go forward after Wano to be honest with you.. I might just finish it up in like a few chapters after, tying up some loose ends etc.
LMK if you have any ideas keep in mind it might not turn out too good. Contrary to popular belief, I am not Oda. So I can't really gurantee you an extremely amazing end to the story, OR even the islands after Wano, but I will try.
Leave a comment/review if you liked it!
