One Piece: Rotten To The Core CH 2

From the next day, five chosen children of villains were on the abandoned lighthouse. Alonso, using his spider web, hung on the top and scrutinizing the sea. He frowned at the familiar ship—he had seen from the newspaper—was approaching. It was Thousand Sunny, the Pirate King's ship. Alarmed and excited Doflamingo's son swung his spider web down to the ground, informing his gangs and his brother.

"Did you see anything?" Gustavia asked, tapping his one foot.

"It's coming, amigos. The Pirate King." He replied.

Angelina seemed eager to see the legendary pirate king as Sakurazaki frowned, unconsciously grabbing his one arm that has burnt arms. Alonso picked up his brother Rosi and went to bring their packages. They all went to the headquarter where their parents were waiting. Crocodile only managed to gave his daughter a small satchel of golds and jewels. Blackbeard literally gave his daughter a too many package filled with drinks, foods, and clothing. Same goes from the Heavenly Demon, but he told his older son to protect his brother.

"Remember what I told you."

"Eyes are a window to our soul and must not be opened." Alonso recited, holding his little brother protectively.

"As much as it pains me to say, but stick with them…and you both will no longer become hungry anymore." Doflamingo said.

Alonso nodded his head, understanding. Doflamingo patted Rosi's head who seemed taken back, but gave his father a small smile.

Sakurazaki was outside and arrived to the graveyard of his father, Sakazuki, a.k.a. Akainu. Glaring at the tombstone, remembering his nightmarish life when his father was alive. He forced his poor child to be trained and educated with his iron, magma fist. Whenever small mistakes were made, Akainu would "discipline" him, in which Sakurazaki earned many burnt scars over his upper body. But later, for some reason his father was dead and the boy didn't care.

Akainu's son stared at his right hand. When its clenched, it released the hot, intense steams and briefly created a small larva melting the tombstone.

"Go to hell…" Sakurazaki muttered venomously as he left.

Five children went to the shore, only to see the Pirate King's ship docking close by. The large wooden board were landed and made a connection with the land and its entrance, revealing the pirate king, who looked at them with wide smile.

"So you guys already came, huh? Come over here!" Luffy yelled out.

Looking at each other, then the villain children obliged to go inside the ship, meeting the crews and family of Straw Hat pirates. Everyone's eyes were on Gustavia whose attitude was so much like her father, raising her eyebrows with cigar on her mouth. Robin giggled at the similarity, earning the girl's frown. Nami and Bell-mere looked at two blondes. Alonso and Rosi.

"Donquixote Alonso." The older spoke.

"This kid has a style." Franky mused, impressed and a bit envious of with Alonso's fashion.

Bell-mere released her hand from Nami and approached to an eight years old boy with friendly smile. As she approached Rosi quickly hid behind his brother, blushing bashfully. Most of the crews didn't believe this little boy was Doflamingo's son.

"He's kind of shy, right mom?" Bell-mere giggled.

"Well, say hello to him." Nami said with smile.

Bell-mere greeted him, but Rosi tried to make a hand language confusing others.

"Rosi is mute, he can't speak." Alonso informed, much to the Straw Hats' sympathy.

"Don't worry. We have a doctor here~!" Luffy said with his toothy smile, pointing at Chopper in a proud manner, "who knows your brother can speak someday."

Alonso stiffly nodded as he picked up his small brother.

But the Straw Hats were stiffened to see Blackbeard's daughter. She was a bit having a hard time holding her package, but Sakurazaki came up and grabbed it for her. Every Pirate King's crew were a bit intimidated by former Fleet Admiral's son. Even Nami, Usopp, Murphy, Brook, and Chopper was slightly frightened. But what made the Pirate King's doctor concerned the most was the burnt scars over his body. Judging by them, Luffy could see they were from Sakurazaki's father.

Then, Luffy's twin children approached. Ace frowned at them, but Anis approached with wide smile same as her father.

"Hey, guys! I'm Monkey D. Anis! Nice to meet ya!"

The villain kids were taken back with her kindness. But Angelina accepted.

"Nice to see ya too! I'm Marshall D. Angelina! Call me Kurokami (Black-hair)!"

"I like this kid." Luffy pointed out, receiving the hand-chop from Usopp.

Looking at Sakurazaki, Anis held her hand out to greet him.

"Good to see ya! I'm Anis. What's your name?"

Akainu's son was a bit surprised by the girl's behavior, wondering if she knew about the history of his father and her father. He glanced to see her father, who only smiled. Hesitantly, Sakurazaki accepted Anis' greeting.

"Sakurazaki." He replied in a deep, but raspy and husky voice.

When Anis grabbed his hand, she could feel the burnt marks on it and felt a compassion for this boy. She made a good mental note to her twin brother to be nice to him. Ace sighed and approached.

"I'm Monkey D. Ace," he smirked proudly, "the greatest Pirate King's son."

Judging by this freckled boy's attitude, anyone could see how he looks up to his father. Luffy made his usual unique laugh. He looked to see Crocodile's daughter.

"So you're that crocodile guy's little girl, glad to see ya, shishishishi!"

Gustavia only nodded her head.

"She's your big fan, fufufufu!" Alonso teasingly pointed out.

Robin raised her eyebrows in amusement. Then the other children of Straw Hat member approached. Murphy, the young man with curly blonde hair tied back and long nose—same as his father Usopp—came.

"I'm Murphy. Inventor Usopp and Kaya's son."

Bell-mere came.

"I'm Bell-mere." She said, still waving her hand at Rosi, who waved his hand a little in return, still clutching his grasp on his brother's shirt.

The siblings of cook came. The young handsome man greeted first in gentlemanly manner which was taught by his father Sanji.

"Bonjour," Remy spoke in polite manner, "welcome to Thousand Sunny. I'm Remy."

"I'm his sister, Babette." Babette introduced herself with a small curtsy.

Luffy was tugged by his daughter.

"Dad, conference!" She then whispered in his ears, telling the idea of taking them to Grand Line.

"Good idea!" Luffy laughed, "you guys can stay here like you're in home."

All five only nodded their head.

"There's gonna be a big party at Grand Line a week later, wanna go join us?" Anis asked, her eyes twinkling with hope.

"Sure! Me and Alonso love parties!" Angelina replied.

"OI!" Gustavia and Sakurazaki yelled out with their arm stuck out.

"Deal! You all will love it," then Bell-mere grabbed Rosi's hand, "come on. Let's go play!"

And Rosi was dragged by Nami's daughter.

"Don't fall Rosi!" Alonso warned.

Anis grabbed Sakurazaki's arm, dragging him inside also.

"Come in! Uncle Chopper could check it for you."

Sakurazaki couldn't say anything, unaware of Ace's protective glare towards the two. Chopper followed them, still worried for the boy's health condition by the scars. Alonso still looked at the door with concerned expression. Angelina only reminded him everything's gonna be fine. Gustavia was greeted by Robin.

"Hello, young lady." The archaeologist greeted, "how's your father?"

"Grumpy." Gustavia replied, looking at her manicured nails with disinterested expression.

Nico Robin only nodded her head in reply. In her eyes, Gustavia seemingly looked like a mysterious woman. Angelina was aware of Sanji's son and approached.

"So you're the cook's son? You must be really good at cooking."

Remy looked and smiled.

"Oh, I'm still an immature one compare to my father."

"Anis seems nice girl."

"She is," then Remy blushed a little which Angelina could see he might have a crush on Anis, "she wasn't even surprised with my eyes."

Blackbeard's daughter was confused.

"What eyes?"

Then she saw his forehead, covered by his bangs. But she was taken back when she saw something…glowing. Remy made a "shh" sound.

"I'm not gonna say any word about this, I swear." Angelina laughed.

"Merci, my lady," then he called out his sister, "Babette, give our guests some drinks!"

Angelina left the kitchen then went to her gangs, who were with other Straw Hat crew. Gustavia seemed a bit interested with the books Robin had read. Alonso talked to Murphy, Franky, Usopp, and Brook while Rosi was teaching Bell-mere a hand language.

"Wait, so you're a devil fruit user?" Murphy asked.

"Si. I am. I'm an arachnid man." Alonso answered as he used his fingers, making a spider-web and made an exotic shape, impressing others.

"WOAH—! You're a SU—PER SPIDER MAN!" Franky exclaimed.

"Not only this," then he made a thread out of spider silk, sewing, "I sometimes make clothes."

Murphy, Usopp, and Franky's eyes were sparkling, utterly impressed. Rosi and Bell was now writing message and drawing.

"So you're eight years old, huh? What's your hobby?"

Rosi wrote a note: "I used to sing, but then suddenly, I couldn't speak."

"Oh, maybe Uncle Chopper could help sometime. Then I could listen to you sing everyday!" Bell-mere said, sprung her arms up in enthusiastic manner.

Rosi noticed a drawing and a newspaper and picked it up. Just then, Luffy came to see them.

"What are you watching?" Luffy asked as he stretched his rubbery neck and looked at the piece of wanted poser, "oh..that's Torao."

Rosi was intently watching the wanted poster of Trafalgar D. Water Law, the captain of Heart Pirates. Due to an old age, his face was slightly wrinkled and some part of his hair was grey. The little boy's eyes turned saddened as he kept staring at the picture.

"You okay?" Bell-mere asked.

Rosi stared at his friend and shook his head, writing the message he was fine. Anis was keep asking question to Sakurazaki, which it slightly annoyed him while he was reading a bible. Remy finished making drinks for all, and serve them along with his father Sanji and his sister Babette. Gustavia was now reading book, while Alonso was sewing clothes for his gangs.

Then, they heard someone calling for Luffy. He looked towards the door, which it burst opened, followed by a small fire. It was a slightly aged blonde-haired man, whose left eye had a burn scar, wearing a blue, white and black suit.

"LUFFY, I'M BACK~!"

"ACK—SABO?!"

And the brothers embraced one another, causing whole Straw Hats to roll their eyes. VK gangs were confused with what was going on.

"Oh, I'd like you to meet those kids." Luffy gestured towards five villain children.

Sabo looked at the five and approached to greet them.

"Ah, so you kids are my niece and nephew's new friends," Sabo grabbed their hand in polite manner, "I'm Sabo. Pirate King Luffy's older brother."
