One Piece:The Fourth Brother

After hours spent in the tight space of the little boat, Aden was getting quite annoyed.

Between Luffy's constant complaints of being hungry, and Zoro's loud snoring, Aden had quite enough.

"Alright, that's it!" shouted Aden suddenly.

*pop* went the bubble at Zoro's nose" What the....!?" exclaimed the confused, sleepy swordsman.

"What is it, bro? You hungry, too?"

"I had enough of this cramped, dingy dinghy.

I'm gonna fly ahead, and secure supplies. Maybe even a proper boat." said Aden with finality, as he jumped in the air without transforming, and let the wind carry him away.

"Wait! But what about us?" panicked Luffy.

"YOU'LL FIGURE IT OUT!" shouted Aden back as he flew away.

"Well now, that was rude." said Zoro with a yawn.

.

.

.

As Aden flew among the clouds, a song got caught in his head.

"Let the wind carry us,

To the clouds, hurry up, alright.

We can travel so far,

As our eyes can see." he started singing out loud, as he remembered the song from his past life.

Soon enough, Aden spotted an island in the distance, and turned towards it.

.

"Okay, Orange Town. I just gotta get some supplies and wait for the two to get here." mused Aden in his head as he walked along the street, looking for some good stores.

After an hour of looking for a shop that was open, Aden gave up. After deciding the supplies could wait, he headed for the nearby bar.

The door swung open and the entire pub went quiet. Aden walked in under a watchful gaze of the patrons.He spoke to the barmaid, krdering a beer, and a bag of dried meat and fruits. Finding an empty table near the back wall, he sat down with his back facing the crowd. Most of the people lost interest then, as they felt the confidence emenating from the man. Anyone who turns their back at a bunch of neer-do-wells, is not to be trifled with. However there are always those with no common sense.

As the waitress put a mug filled with beer, and a bag of supplies in front of the newcomer, a group of three people, led by a burly, scarred man approached Aden.

"You must be new here, boy." spoke the leader with a sneer "There is a fee if you wanna drink in this here pub." he finished with a greedy grin.

Seeing no reaction from the man, the leader reached for his pistol, and aimed it at the back of the man's head.

" Ya deaf or sumthing?! I said there is a f....!" shouted the group leader before he got interrupted, by being unable to take a breath.

" Boss? What's going on? Ya okay?" asked one of the two henchmen, confused.

Seeing their boss begin to turn blue from lack of oxygen, they realized it must be the man's doing somehow. They drew their swords, ready to strike him down. However, before they could raise their weapons, they too began to gasp for breath.

"Mind that you don't choke on your ambition. It can be deadly." spoke Aden menacingly, as he released his control of the air around the men. He merely held the air around their faces, preventing them from taking a breath.

The group fell to the floor and scrambled to get out of the bar, terrified of Aden.

The rest of the patrons looked down at their tables and did not make a sound the entire time Aden was there.

About ten minutes later, seeing Aden was just drinking his beer in silence, the pub's chatter returned slowly.

"Thanks for chasing those guys away. And, well...For not killing them. The are trouble wherever they go. But i don't think the would deserve that." spoke the barmaid as she took Aden's empty mug.

"No worries." Aden waved her thanks off nonchalantly "Say, anything interesting happening around here?" asked Aden with curiosity.

"Well, there is this pirate terrorizing the town. They say he was a part of Roger's crew back in the day." she spoke in a hushed tone.

"Oh? Sounds like fun. Where do i find him?"

"Are you insane!?" she whisper-shouted. " Did you even hear what i said? He was with the King of Pirates's crew."

"Oh i heard ya. That's why it sounds like fun." Aden said with a grin as he got up to leave.

Walking outside he heard a commotion on the other side of town, so he Miraged into thin air and flew in that direction.

"Wait...He never paid!!"

.

"Well, well. If it isn't Little Thief." Aden thought to himself, floating above a big circus tent.

Currently, Luffy was locked in a cage, and a guy dressed as a clown was ordering Nami to kill him, using the cannon.

As Aden was about to swoop in to help, Nami refused to kill Luffy. Getting mad at her, the clown ordered one of his henchmen to fire the cannon instead.

As the cannon was fired, a cannonball flew towards Lufy's cage. Fearing for his life, Luffy tried his best to get away, but couldn't.

As the cannonball was just a few meters away, it slowed down and stopped right in front of a newly appeared person.

Air was swirling around the ball, keeping it afloat.

"At least once i'd like to find you not in trouble, brother." spoke Aden with his palm extended towards the cannonball.

"Aden! Thanks for the save." spoke Luffy gratedully " Hey, you left us on the sea and i got carried away by a chicken!" he suddenly shouted, remembering the bird that caught him with anger.

"What...?" said Aden in confusion.

"What...?" said everyone, including Buggy in confusion.

"Forget it. Get me out of here, Aden!" said Luffy hurriedly.

Taking advantage of the momentary confusion, Buggy decided it was a good idea to charge at the duo.

Only to find himself face to face with an angry, three-bladed mossball, with direction issues. I mean Zoro.

As Buggy drew his dagger between his fingers he soon found himself chopped into pieces.

"Zoro. Finally found us i see." said Aden with a chuckle.

"Shut up, airhead!" replied Zoro angrily.

"Make me, Juniper Hair-Cap!"

Suddenly, a severed hand rose from the ground, holding a set of knives.

It flew at Zoro's back, but before it could reach him, a dagger falling from the sky pinned it to the ground.

"YEAOUUCCHHH!!" screamed the chopped up " corpse ".

"Yeah, i use daggers too, buddy. Only i can control them in the air." mocked Aden.

"What the hell? How is he alive?" asked Zoro and Luffy at the same time.

"A devil fruit is my guess." spoke Aden with a raised finger.

"That's right." spoke the clown " I ate the Chop-Chop fruit, and i..."

"So. Are you always in a rush, then?" interrupted Aden with a snort chuckle.

"Wha...?" sounded a confused floating head.

"What, it's a joke that should leave you in pieces..." said Aden.

Behind him, Luffy and Zoro were barely holding back their laughter. As were a couple people behind Buggy.

"I mean look around. Everybody knows that joke was on the nose."

"NOSE!!" shouted the clown in rage, flying towards Aden, intending to kill him.

"Hey Puzzle the Clown! You forget anything?"

asked Aden as he used his power to blast the Buggy Bomb at its namesake.

Buggy's eyes bugged out in fear of the impeding impact.

After a giant explosion that shook the town, has passed and the dust settled.

The cage, along with its prisoner and his friends were nowhere to be seen. The Little Thief has left with them.

A lonely head with a big red nose, was laying in the soot, with smoke coming off of it.

"*cough* Go find them, Mohji!" spoke the head to his crew member, with an annoyed face.

"Aye aye, Captain." said the lion tamer.

.

What the clown didn't realize, was that the air itself was listening to him. Plotting to take advantage of the former Roger crewmember.

(Alright. Sorry this one took a bit longer. I was sick, and the New Year happened.

Hopefully i will get better at this writing thing, so that i can entertain you all.

Thanks again for reading, and i will try and update soon.)
