Chereads / The Magician of the Straw Hats / Chapter 31 - Whiskey Peak

Chapter 31 - Whiskey Peak

The Straw Hats gaze upon a large island with cactuses that was the size of a mountain as they look upon it with awe and amazement.

"This must be Whiskey Peak... that's great, we've safely arrived!"

Luffy stated as he sat on the head of the ship with the others behind him when Mr.9 and Ms.Wednesday leaped up to the wooden railing.

"We have to go now, thank you for taking care of us" Mr.9 stated.

"We shall meet again if we are destined to" Ms.Wednesday stated.

"Bye, bye baby~"

Both of them declared at the same time as they jumped off the ship and swam on the island at full speed.

The Straw hats just shrugged off whatever they said as they concentrate on discussing what kind of island is Whiskey Peak.

"Wait a minute, don't forget that we have to spend some time on this island"

Nami told them as she started to explain the functions of the log pose and how they have to spend some time to allow it to memorize the magnetic field of the island.

The Straw hats discussed plans in case of the worst-case scenario as they prepare their fist and legs for a battle.

They didn't realize that their ship started to close in on the island as the residents of the island saw them and started cheering.

"Welcome to our town, Whiskey Peak!"

"Pirates!"

"Welcome to the grandline!"

"Welcome to our town!"

The residents were cheering at them as the Straw hats shook in surprise at their attitude towards them.

The ship docked on the island as the Straw hats left the ship and walked through the town while being cheered by dozens of residents of the island.

"Welcome, my name is Igarappoi and this is Whiskey Peak, the town of music and liquor"

Igarappoi stated as he stood in front of them with a smile and a trumpet in his hand.

"If you don't mind, I would like to ask you to join a party... we would love to hear about your adventures"

Igarappoi invited as Luffy, Sanji and Usopp immediately agree while the other three had a cautious look.

"Let's party everyone!"

...

A few hours later...

The Straw Hats were partying all night as they all got drunk and fell asleep on the bar as the residents of the island started leaving the bar.

The moment the last resident left the bar, Zoro stood up and stretched his body as he silently followed the man.

"...That's to be expected of Zoro, he's not someone easy to trick... isn't that right, Nami?"

Kaito stated while he slowly sat up and turned his head to where Nami is as he questioned her.

"Hah, don't you know not to ruin someone's act... what if those people come back?"

Nami sighed and asked him as she slowly sat up with an annoyed look.

"Haha... there's no need to worry about that, Zoro is probably taking care of them right now"

Kaito answered in a confident tone with a chuckle and smirk on his face.

Bang~ Clang~ Boom~

"See... Zoro's already dealing with them right now as we speak"

Kaito implied as the sounds of fighting were heard outside the bar.

"Fine... then help me steal this town's treasure"

"Huh, why should I help you?"

"Because I am ordering you"

"Haha... that's funny..."

The two of them bickered for a minute before Nami had enough and started beating him with her staff.

"Now, you will help me steal this town's treasure... do you understand?" Nami asked

"Y-Yes... madam!" Kaito stuttered.

They both exited the bar at the back door as they sneakily went inside multiple houses and scoured the inside for any treasure they could take.

"Hey, use your devil fruit to turn this bag into cards"

Nami instructed as she handed him a bag full of treasure in an authoritative tone.

"V-Very well..."

Kaito responded as he did what she said and touched the bag as it created a small puff of smoke before it turned into a poker card.

'I feel like she only asked my help due to my devil fruit... I feel quite offended'

Kaito thought with a bitter smile as he stared at the several cards in his hands.

"Hmm? I smell the scent of money... Kaito continue stealing their treasures, I'll be going out for a while"

Nami stated with her eyes turning into dollar bills as she ran out to somewhere else before Kaito could even respond.

Kaito sighed dejectedly as he continued to visit dozens of houses and ransacked their place using his devil fruit.

"DON'T MAKE EXCUSES!"

Kaito halted his steps when he heard a familiar voice as noises of fighting were heard from the vicinity near him.

Crash~

Kaito contemplated whether to go or not but he nonetheless succumbs to his boredom as he ran towards where the fight was occurring.

There, he managed to see Luffy get kicked by Zoro and collided with two other people as they crashed through a wall.

Crash~

A woman with an umbrella on her suddenly leaped out high in the air while rambling about killing them with her devil fruit.

Crash~

He watched as the duo completely got humiliated by both Luffy and Zoro as they ignored them and glared at each other before clashing their swords and fist.

"Damn it! we were completely beaten up"

"That will bring a shame to officer agents of Baroque Works"

"That's right, Mr.5... we have to show them our real power"

The two agents were conversing with each other as they didn't notice that a certain magician had already sneaked behind them.

"Let's show them what we've got Ms.Valentine"

"Got it, Mr.5"

They were about to rush towards Luffy and Zoro when out of nowhere someone grabbed the back of their heads.

"Now, now... I can't have you interfering with my their fight... after all, it's not every day that I get to see such an interesting battle"

Kaito stated as the two turned their heads towards him and saw his cold smile before he slammed down their heads on the ground, knocking them out unconscious.

"Now then, I wonder which one of the two is the stronger one"

Kaito muttered as he stared at their battle with a look of anticipation and excitement.
