To Baratie with Modified Merry

Jack pressed a button which had a sign of shield on it. Plates of metal started coming out of the sides of Merry and quikly covered the whole deck.

" Woah, Cool!! " " .... Heh! you're quite good at it. " " ... "

" The windows you see on the armor is powerful enough to take 30 to 40 shots of canon directly to it, and if it breaks it will automatically replace a new one. It has 10 spare windows. Using this you can even go underwater. Lights won't go out for a month once charged for a day with sunlight. " said Jack. " And, it doesn't stop here. Let me show you different mode."

Everyone was quite surprised after seeing the ship change like that, Luffy had stars in his eyes, and after hearing what Jack said related to protection that the ship provided and that it could even go underwater, they had their mouth hung open in awe.

" Now, next this button. " said Jack tapping a button which had the sign of a gun on it. After tapping the button canons started coming out from the side of armor and from the front of merry too. " Guys and Girls, these canons may look small but the power they pack is nowhere near small. You don't have to load ammunition manually. You can just put this canon magzine in row and it will automatically load it. For firing you have a sniper, so you don't need to worry. And while firing this baby you won't experience any backlash. " This time everyone was even more awed. " You made this like sailing fortress. Can someone even harm us inside this ship. " asked Nami awed. " Don't worry, there are many powerful people who can break this ship. But you won't meet them till New World. " said Jack smiling. " Now, this other button increases the speed of your ship by using thrusters and automatic peddlers. "

After getting surprised by ship for quite a while everyone boarded the ship with their necessities. Usopp said " Ok! Thank you for taking me as your captain. "

" Oyy! I am the captain. You're the third mate and sniper. " said Luffy.

Everyone set sail, Was sitting on his Ship smiling, While everyone waved at Kaya and Merry. After some time sailing Jack said " On a ship a Cook is very necessary to provide you a healthy diet to survive the sea or you may die due to not eating correct food."

" Yeah, he is right we need a cook on board. I can be your cook if you can give me money. " said Nami.

" Well, we can give you money but you can't be on the level of a sea cook. I recommend to go to Baratie. It's a floating ship restaurant. You might find a good cook there." said Jack.

Everyone agreed to it and Nami started navigating in the direction of the floating sea food restaurant.

" Hey! Usopp, here I have something for you." said Jack giving Usopp small pellets size of small sized balls.

" What is this?! " asked Usopp while checking the pellets.

" These are high powered canon balls compacted to be used by guns or your slingshot. It packs quite a punch so don't underestimate it only due to it's size. " said Jack. He had made this buy using a high powered combustible powder which had more power than any normal gunpowder.

" Thanks! I am glad for your help."

" Don't worry, you are my friends crewmate, How can't I help you. But let's first test this out. You can fire this on that rock over there. "

Luffy saw Usopp aiming at the rock in a distance and asked " Oy! Usopp, What are you doing?! Tell me. "

" Jack gave me this new type of ammo which has the power of canon balls, I am testing it on that rock."

" Oh! that's quite far away. Can you hit it? " asked Luffy.

Usopp hold his head high and patting his chest said "Don't worry. I am your sniper. I should be able to do at least this much. "

Usopp aimed his slingshot at the rock and fired. The blast was really at the level of a canon shot. After some time a boat was coming from the direction of the rock. Of course they were Jhonny and Yosaku. Everything went nearly same as the story. Nami helped them, and they recognised Zoro. But they were surprised to hear that the explosion was not from a canon but a slingshot. " What?! How could that big explosion be from a sling shot? "

" Well, in fact the ammo was made by Jack here. And I used it for the slingshot. " said Usopp.

" Hello, I am Johnson D Jack captain of Asura pirates. Nice to meet you. " said Jack smiling.

" Hello! nice to meet you too. But do I think I heard that name somewhere in the past. " Said Jhonny.

" Ahh! Yosaku I remember now. There was this pirate hunter who was quite famous in the past. And his name was also Jack but Pirates used to call him Black death. Cause he used to wear black clothes. " said Jhonny

" Are you perhaps that Jack? " asked Yosaku.

" Yep! that's him. " said Zoro nonchantly.

" Wahh! you're the famous pirate hunter, Jack the Black death. You were our motivation to become pirate hunters. We thought that we could be strong as you and could hunt 20 million berries pirates. Can you give us your autograph. " Exclaimed both the pirate hunters.

" Hahaha! no need for that. You can travel with us. We are going to Baratie. Here, take these and train. After your body is strong enough. I can give you training manuals." Said Jack.

" Ahh! Thanks for your help. We won't disappoint you. "

After sometime, we reached Baratie. It was a big ship same as the anime. There was a marine ship docked there. When we reached near it, The ships captain which was lieutenant Fullbody after seeing the ship as pirate ship ordered to sink it.

Bang!! The canon was fired but before Luffy could deflect it. I caught it with my hand and threw it back at the marine ship, sinking it.

Fullbody had already entered the restaurant.

I was very annoyed with the bastard but I held it back cause I wasn't some psycho killer, who will kill anyone I find annoying. Anyways we entered the restaurant. The same scene played out where Fullbody berated Sanji's food and threw it. Sanji kicked him in the face saying that he can tolerate his criticism about the cook but won't let him waste the food.

Then owner Zeff came and berated Sanji for fighting inside the restaurant. He kicked Fullbody for wasting the food. After Fullbody went away saying that he will take his revenge. Sanji came to us for taking our order.
