Chereads / One Piece: Son of the Star / Chapter 2 - Chapter 2 rough greeting

Chapter 2 - Chapter 2 rough greeting

After a while, carrying the unconscious members of the straw hats with the help of (Y/N) and his grandmother Tobera. Are now placed inside the infirmary of the island's village, catching the attention of all the locals on the island.

It was rare enough to have guests or outsiders except for some special connections to an organization. Isolated from the rest of the world but not entirely.

The people in the village are curious, trying to peek in the window. Tobera had enough of the paparazzi's buzzing outside, she confronted them breaking the only door outside.

Tobera: PIss off now! Nothing to see here!

" To-chan, don't be mean…"

Tobera: It's Tobera!!!

" It's been ages since we had visitors."

" We were only worried about them and cautious."

" Not to mention their ship is in bad shape, it might even give out soon."

Tobera: Yeah I notice… They entered the Green Abyss with such small numbers of crew added by the condition of their boat.

She looked at their ship at the nearby shore, amazed that they were able to survive the said sea.

(Y/N): Obaa-chan!!!

In the far distance (Y/N) is seen pulling a wagon full of food.

"Pftt!!! ( I shouldn't laugh but…)"

" ( He's having a hard time tugging the wagon) PFT!!"

" ( It seems that guy annoyed him) Pfftt!"

They all snickered, not because of the handcart, but because of the boy wearing a straw hat who kept telling him to join his crew while poking his cheeks rapidly.

EARLIER.

As Tobera called all the locals to help these people on the beach, (Y/N) is assigned to carry the one with a hat. 

(Y/N): Even though he is out cold, he grips that hat like his life depends on it.

Taking the hat from his arms, unexpectedly he awakes glaring (Y/N) in fury.

Luffy: WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING YOU BASTARD!!?

(Y/N): ( Awake already!? Good, my job will be a little easier.) You-

He was interjected when Luffy punched him in the face before he could continue.

Luffy: GOMU-GOMU NO BULLET!!!

PAK*

(Y/N) flew back a few meters crashing into the sand and burying the upper half of his body with legs stuck out in an awkward position. Then Luffy picks up his hat and puts it back on his head, exhilarating.

Luffy: Haaa… Don't touch my stuff! Where am I?!

The loud crash caught the attention of the villagers, who were about to go to the location of the sound. But Tobera stopped them.

" To-chan?!"

" We need to check if something bad happened to (Y/N)."

" That was loud!"

Each villager voiced out their concern for (Y/N), yet the old loli didn't flinch from their words. She opened her mouth, assuring the people.

Tobera: No need for you people to go. Or did you forget that he can protect himself with the power of an esper?

" Well, true enough."

" He did have that ability, albeit not a royal."

" That kid won't go down easily."

They all realized and agreed to her claims. Surely there's more to (Y/N's) power that had never been revealed.

" So should we continue transporting these people and..? Also the weird animals???"

One of them eyed the odd-looking reindeer and the overgrown duck. Not sure if the bird is considered to be a duck or an ostrich.

Tobera: Mhm. They may be good people or bad, but we should always extend hospitality to them. Is that clear?

" " " " " Yes Ma'am!!!"'''''''

 Inspired by Tobera's chivalrous plea, they shouted in agreement, resuming their efforts to treat and transport the crew to their village clinic.

Meanwhile, buried half of his body on the sand (Y/N) is somehow alive but with a nasty bruise on his cheeks. He was dismayed at something and kept on thinking.

(Y/N): ( I could have sworn that his punch would return to him, he was able to bypass my defense.)

 (Y/N) had anticipated the straw hat boy's punch and activated "Safeguard," an innate esper ability that shields the body with mysterious energy. However, to (Y/N)'s surprise, the energy barrier was shattered, leaving him open to the powerful blow.

(Y/N): ( Luckily training the body saved my life got to give my gratitude to Vince-Bro. I had to rule out using my esper powers instead I had to rely on my Devil Fruit.) 

Luffy the boy wearing the straw hat is looking for his crew members shouting endlessly to let them hear his voice.

Luffy: Zoro! Nami! Usopp! Sanji! Vivi! Karoo! Chopper! Where are you guys!!? Answer Me!!?

SCREECH*

Luffy: Huh!!? That guy in there is gone!?

Luffy was shocked, the guy with a choker on his neck was gone in the sand after hearing that high-pitched sound.

CLAP*

CLAP*

CLAP*

(Y/N): Pretty brave of you to turn your back on the person here.

Luffy: You! Where is my crew?

He points his finger at (Y/N) aggressively.

(Y/N): I warn you not to do that in front of me especially other people on this island.

Luffy: And why is that?

(Y/N): It is considered disrespectful and impolite.

Luffy: Is that so-

SMACK*

He didn't manage to continue answering when (Y/N) appeared out of nowhere, punched the left side of his and flew away.

Luffy: Uwahhhhhhh!!!

(Y/N): ACCEL SURGE: ACCEL TURN!!!

Luffy: That bastard!!! GRAB*

He grabbed a nearby coconut tree to stop his flight in mid-air.

(Y/N): Weird??? I'm not feeling any bones in him instead it felt like hitting a rubber ball.

While (Y/N) is muttering to himself, Luffy with arms that are stretched, directed to the spot at him, thrusting himself very fast.

Luffy: GOMU GOMU NO ROCKEEEEEEEEEEET!!!

(Y/N): Ehhhhh!!? Did his arms just stretch? Wait this is no time to be mind blown-

Luffy: Ohhhhhhhh!!!

(Y/N): Ahhhhhhh!!!

Now (Y/N) is being blown away together with him crashing into a big boulder, destroying it completely. With all of the debris covering both of them dust flowed into the area.

Luffy/ (Y/N): Haaaa!!!/ Haaaa!!!

Both boys emerged from the rubble, their bodies covered in cuts and dirt.

(Y/N): You'll pay for it!!!

Luffy: So are you!!!

(Y/N): ACCEL SURGE…

Luffy: GOMU GOMU NO…

Luffy/ (Y/N): PHANTASMA-/ GATLING-

Before the two parties could engage in their quick assault, Tobera cast a net at them, not just any net, it was laced with sea stones.
