( Achilles' Pov )
" Well, that was something," Bullet said to me as we watched Dirk receive a 12ft trophy and a check of 20 million berrys.
" I like some parts of it while I hated the rest. Anyway, we better get going before the exit becomes too crowded." I said to my crew standing up and started walking to one of the exists. Although for some reason I felt like I missed someone very important.
' Nah, I couldn't have been anyone important otherwise I would recognize them.' I cleared my thoughts away exiting the stadium.
" Hey Achilles, you sure we not gonna recruit any of the shooters from the NBSC? They seem to be strong and talented." Marco said with his hands behind his neck.
" Nah some of them are strong but they are not talented nor strong enough to join the crew." I answered after we walked out of the stadium. I still wanna get Yassop no matter what. Even if I had to wait for a couple of years.
Although Marco's question did start making me think about the sniper's position.
" Anyways let's go. I don't wanna stay here anymore. And we have to find the headquarters of the Hutt organization." Bullet said before we started walking towards the hotel so we can get our stuff before we leave the island.
" Right right, that sounds so easy," I said sarcastically.
[ 2 Hours Later ]
" Raise the sails," I yelled out just as Marco was pulling the anchor. Bullet unveiled the sails with the wind getting stronger. The sail started moving with me steering the ship so we don't crush into anything.
' Now how would one find the headquarters of a secretive slave organization.' As I was thinking on our next moves, I didn't notice there were 4 dorts on the ship showing me, Bullet, Marco, and someone else. Since I was too busy to look at the map.
I didn't have my observation haki activated either since it takes up too much concentration and I see no need to have activated every moment.
Which is what led someone onboard the ship without our knowledge.
" Hey Achilles, Bullet. I smell someone else on the ship other than us." Marco said to me looking like he smelled something strange which got me out of my thoughts. Bullet stood up looking he was ready to fight.
I quickly noticed there was another dot on the ship storage area. Which made us quickly run there in case it was an enemy.
[ 3 Minutes Later ]
" Whose there? If you don't come out within the next 10 seconds, we blow you to kingdom come," I yelled at a barrel which was where the fourth dot was at. Bullet had 2 pistols made while I was ready to send out multiple air shockwaves. I asked Marco to stay behind us and prepare a fireball in case anything went wrong.
" Wait wait, don't shoot me. Im friendly." A man who we recognized from the NBSC came out of the barrel.
" Masterson?" I asked in confusion looking at the shooter who had bandages around his right left where he got shot at in the tournament by Dirk.
" Yeah, you guys seem to know me. So no need to shoot me?" Masterson said sweating nervously as Bullet put away his pistols and the flames that Marco was creating disappeared.
" We aren't gonna kill you. But we have questions for you. And we gonna drop you off to the closest island with inhabitants." I said not happy about this situation at all.
' We don't get time for this bullshit.'
" Wait, no don't do tha…" Before Masterson could finish, Bullet grabbed him by his collar and created some cuffs around his hands, and dragged him to the deck.
" Alright, now you better answer our questions," I said in a serious tone knowing if he didn't answer, he's in trouble.
" So don't try to lie, Achilles will know either way." Marco said after me trying to sound all scary and stuff.
" So what are you doing on my our ship?" Bullet asked standing over Masterson.
" Well uh, I didn't win the tournament so I couldn't get the prize money. Which I plan to use to buy a ship."
" And when I saw you guys, I figured I might as well get on your ship. And join your crew since it looks like you guys are in need of more people."
" And since you guys were at the tournament, you have seen my skills so how about it? Let me join your crew, please?" Masterson said to me in a hopeful voice.
" Hold on, so you sneaked into a pirate ship not knowing whether they take you in or even kill you?"
" That's one of the stupidest things I heard someone do."
" So yeah, we definitely dropping you off to the closest island. Until then don't do anything that will make us kill you." I said before I went back to steering the ship.
" Oh come on, I'm more than strong enough to join your crew. I do anything plea"
" Cut it off, Achilles already said no to you. And he won't change his mind so easily so stop screaming." Bullet said cutting off Masterson sounding annoyed.
