Jin POV
"Alright, listen up! I'm the vice-captain of this ship, the rules on this ship are simple, do your works, follow the captain's orders, he says jump into the sea, you jump, no questions asked, the moment you joined the crews your life is on the captain's hands, he knows everything on this ship, he hears everything, your senior will show you your works around the ship."
Jin said to the new recruits after Koujiro enters his cabin.
"For the rest of you, take everything from the marine ship, weapons, cannons that still work, take everything."
Jin ordered the old crew members.
The crews start working and plunder everything on the marine ship.
The marine ship got cleaned up in an hour, they got several standard marine rifles and swords, two cannons that still work, and tons of supplies.
"Sir, we finished looting the marine ship, and we already placed the explosives on the lower deck as usual."
One of the crew said to Jin after they store everything away.
"Sink the marine ship then prepare to sail."
Jin ordered then climbed up to his crow's nest.
*BOOM!*
The ship exploded once he gets to his post, ignoring the sinking marine ship, he looks around the area with his binocular and he can see a small dot-like island on the southeast.
"Change heading to the southeast!"
Jin yelled to Robert who's already on the helms.
After half hour of sailing slowly towards the island, Jin now can see the island clearly, zooming on the island with his binocular, he sees a small town near the beach and a lot of pirate ships docked on the harbour.
Getting down from his post, he took one of the new recruits then bring him to the captain's cabin.
*knock...knock...knock*
Jin knocked on the door with the new recruits standing behind him.
"Come in."
Replied Koujiro from inside.
-------------------------------------------------------------
"Come in."
Koujiro said after hearing a knock on his door.
Looking at the opened door, he sees Jin entering with a new recruit following behind him closing the door.
"Have a seat, Jin. What can I do for you? And why the recruit is here with you?"
Koujiro asked Jin while offering him a glass of whiskey.
"I spotted an island, but the island is full of pirates, and the recruit here will explain the rest capt."
Jin replied then turned his seat around to look at the recruit who's standing behind him.
"Well, got anything to say, boy?"
Koujiro asked the young ex-marine.
"W-well, we were assigned by Commodore Nelson to watch a pirate crew who is based on this island capt."
The new recruit said.
"And what makes this crew so special that they are being watched by the marines?"
"T-the captain of the pirate crew is a zoan user sir, a rhino type zoan, and his bounty is nine million berries."
"Nine million? Pfft, that's pathetic, I bet Jin can one-shot him easily, what is his name?"
Koujiro almost laughs out loud hearing a pirate with nine million berries bounty is being watched by the marines, imagine if the words would spread about his doing for this past two weeks only.
If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
"His name is Rhino the impaler sir, his pirate crew is called Zoo pirates."
"Wait...wait, his name is literally Rhino? And his crew is called Zoo pirates?"
"Yes sir."
"Bhahahahahaha, that's stupid and ironic at the same time, the dumb ass got a rhino zoan and his name is Rhino."
Both Koujiro and Jin laugh their ass off hearing the silly pirates while the new recruit just standing there awkwardly.
"Hah...hah...hah, fuck I thought it was someone scary or some shit, but it's a bunch of animals."
Koujiro catching his breath after laughing his ass off for a few minutes.
"Same capt, shits got from hundred to zero real quick, I'll tell Robert to dock the ship on the town's harbour, I'll let you know if we're docked."
Jin said while wiping tears from his face.
"Let's go, get back to your station boy."
Jin said while walking out with the new recruit.
A few hours later they reached the island, Robert steer the ship towards one of the empty piers, some people on the harbour seen running around towards the pier where the Queen Anne's Revenge is closing in.
Seeing the people on the pier are already waiting on the moorings to help the crews tie the ship, the crews onboard throw them the ropes down.
"For a lawless island, the harbour is pretty organized heh."
Said one of the crew members on board.
After they tied the ship secured, they immediately left the pier with only one man staying on the pier holding some kind of a ledger in his hands.
Walking out from his cabin, Koujiro wear his usual outfit with the addition of a leather holster strapped on his torso, the belt goes down from his left shoulder to his right hip with six flintlock pistols placed along his torso, he also has a katana tied on his left waist, the katana is not his usual black straight one, its a katana with golden engraving on its sheath and handle with a circular handguard.
"I'll be damned capt, is that the Myōhō Muramasa? Don't tell me you have all the Meito."
Jin said seeing his captain new sword
"Hahaha, no I don't have all the Meito 'yet' Jin."
Koujiro replied to his first mate.
"Yet? Are you saying that you're going to collect them all? You know some of the Meito owners are monsters right?"
Jin replied indirectly mentioned Hawkeye Mihawk and Whitebeard who own Yoru the black blade and Murakumogiri the naginata who is used by the strongest man in the world.
"Relax my friend, we wouldn't go after them anytime soon, we have five seas to plunder first, then we will visit them in the new world."
"Whatever man, can I see the sword? I've never seen it before, I just heard it from stories about the one who crafted it, Sengo Muramasa, they said he's the best swordsmith alive."
"Ooh, I never heard such stories, care to tell me?"
Koujiro said clearly surprised that Muramasa exists in the One Piece world, handing him the Myōhō Muramasa, Jin took the sword and hold it carefully like its a billion berry artefact.
"Yeah, you definitely never heard him, he's a very talented young swordsmith, actually I knew him when he was ten years old, our age is roughly the same actually I don't know who is older, but he came from a renowned swordsmith family while I'm just the son of a gunsmith, but we occasionally met when our fathers were summoned to the flower capital by Orochi, other than that I never saw him, I heard he always stayed at his home and learning the art of swordsmithing from his father."
Jin said while looking at the sword.
"Hou interesting, how about we continue our talk in a bar? I need some fresh beer to wash my mouth after two weeks of drinking shitty rum from the loot."
"Yeah you're right I need some nice fresh whiskey too."
Jin said while handing back the sword to Koujiro.
"Nah...nah...nah, you can look at the sword as long as you want, knock yourself out, I never thought a gun freak like you would staring at a sword like that, hehehe."
Koujiro chuckled while walking down from the ship.
"What do you mean gun freak, the correct word is a gun enthusiast and anyone who knows Muramasa would do the same, his works are literally perfection."
Jin said correcting his captain while walking beside him then looks at the sword again.
"Welcome to Tortuga gentleman."
Said the man who has been standing on the pier holding a ledger.
"Who are you?"
Asked Koujiro to the man.
"I'm the Tortuga harbour administrator, every ship that is docked here must be registered on my ledger and pay a fee depending on how long you will dock your ship here."
Explained the man.
"Huh, I thought this is a pirate island."
"Actually, it's not a pirate island, Tortuga is lawless, but we have our own rules here, this island is under lord Joker jurisdiction, we allow pirates and other criminals on our island, and they pay to us because they are protected here from the marines."
°Joker is a Broker on the Underworld and his real name is Donquixote Doflamingo, he's the captain of Donquixote Pirates.°
The helper explained before Koujiro asked who Joker is to the man in front of him.
"Whatever, how much is the fee?"
"It's ten thousand berries per day, it includes protection for your ship in case some pirates try to rob you, and we also provide a resupply service."
Explained the man with a smile.
"Hmm, that's convenient, how about our supply Jin, do we need to resupply?"
Asked Koujiro to his first mate.
"Uuuh, I don't know, let me call the one who does cargo duty."
Jin replied while looking at the sword then runs back to the ship.
"You! Get whoever on cargo duty here right now."
Jin pointed at one of the crews.
One minute later a young man is running from the lower deck area towards where Jin is.
"You're looking for me sir?"
Said the man panting out of breath.
"Umm yeah, how much supply do we have?"
Jin said still looking at the sword.
"Uuuuh, we have roughly one month of supplies left sir."
"Hmm, get back to your post."
Jin said while walking back to his captain.
"One month of supplies capt."
"Hmm, should we resupply?"
"I don't know, you're the captain, not me."
Jin replied still looking at the sword.
"Ceh, useless fucker, here the fee for docking, I'll let you know if we need to resupply."
Koujiro spat at his first mate and give the man in front of him twenty thousand berries.
"Her name sir?"
Asked the man halting Koujiro step who is walking up to the ship.
"Queen Anne's Revenge."
Replied Koujiro then walks up to the ship. The man writes down the ship name on his ledger then leave Jin on the pier alone, still looking at the sword.
