Great my first chapter here ^^, I hope you will like it. Everything will always be divided into the groups you are in, except when two groups meet.

Fortunately, Luffy and Co. had survived the CP9 almost unscathed, but they were already planning the next destination. In Waterseven they had found a new colleague, Frankie, who took over the job of ship's carpenter.
So they left the port of Waterseven and have now been at sea again for two days.

Nami had made himself comfortable on the deck and was enjoying the sun when Lara suddenly came up to her. "Hey Nami ... duuuuu, how long do we need to get to the fish people ??" Nami sighed annoyed. "We are only on the way for two days, you are so bored again." Lara sat down on the railing and shook her head with a grin. "No, it's actually really funny to watch Luffy and Usopp fishing ... anyway ... I want to be curious about the fish people too!" Nami smiled briefly and looked around a bit. "Well, if we go on like this, we'll be there in 3 or 4 days ..." Suddenly they heard Luffy shout "I fished a barrel!" Robin came out of the bathroom and mine was amazed: "Now barrels are already biting here at??"

Once at the bottom, everyone else was already standing around the barrel. Zorro said something about rum and Sanji just said that it shouldn't be opened. But Luffy already lacked it. Lara and Robin wondered what to make of it. On the one hand rum was really good, on the other hand how long has the rum been in the barrel? To be on the safe side, they held their breath.

- Navy -

In the main headquarters nobody really felt like celebrating, after all, the straw hat gang had proven that they were more dangerous than initially thought. Falconeye was called to a meeting with De Flamingo and Bear, because now they finally needed a replacement for Crocodile, a samurai had to be found.Hawkeye seemed to mind the suggestions, however. "These pirates are too weak, no one can take them." De Flamingo pounded his fist on the table "Well at least we make suggestions, if you know so much better tell me who you would take, Mihawk."
Hawkeye went to one end of the table and took a seat, "As we know, the Straw Hat gang is unstoppable. But there is a crew that has more experience with the world and combat than anyone else. I'm talking about the vampire crew." At first it seemed there was a cold silence in the air, broken by De Flamingo's laughter. "Y-the vampire crew? It's a fairy tale that little children are told to scare them. THERE ARE NO VAMPIRCREWs! They never existed."
Hawkeye seemed to be ignoring De Flamingo's behavior. "Klintown, East Blue ... one of the largest cities ... all of the city's residents were murdered in one night, drained of the last drop. I don't know where they have been for the past few years, but they seem to have been thirsty ... a hell of a lot of thirst."

De Flamingo swallowed briefly as he read through the report. "Still, who would be so crazy to go to you to make the proposal. Nobody who has all the cups in the cupboard would go to a vampire crew." Hawk-Eye grinned and took the charter. "I'm on my way. Apparently there are some good swordsmen there." As soon as he had finished speaking he was gone, leaving behind an astonished De Flamingo.

- Vampire Crew -

Akima sat at a table with the twins and Akina and played chess against Loriam. Lucille and Crave watched the game carefully to keep up. For a mortal, the moves were so fast that you didn't even notice someone had moved their hand to move a pawn, but Lucille and Crave had no problem with that. Playing chess was already a real championship at the Oro Jackson and they all tried their skills.As usual, it was quiet on the ship, after all, nobody wanted to miss anything.

Sorana watched the game from a distance, for her it was no problem to notice the moves even with such a large distance to the table. She actually knew them beforehand. Unfortunately, with her ability to read minds, she was never allowed to play along, but that didn't really matter to her. So she was always the referee at the competitions and enjoyed the fact that the others never dared to cheat, because she knew immediately. The twins always made it a kind of sport to try to deceive them, but Sorana was always one step ahead.

Tomaru was sitting in his cabin as usual, working out a new plan, when suddenly Zero and Anzu rushed in. Anzu was the first to say “Captain, come quickly! There is a problem.” Tomaru grabbed his forehead and sighed: “Oh yes? Have the twins tried to cheat again? a step forward and wrinkled his nose: "That wouldn't be so bad, no. The problem is called hawk-eye and stinks of humans ... and of marine." Now Tomaru was quickly on his feet. “WHAT?” He stormed out below deck quickly, followed by Anzu and Zero. There he saw that Zero had been telling the truth.

In the middle of the vampires stood Hawk's Eye who crossed his blade with that of Crave. Tomaru held Crave back with a wave of his hand. "I'll take over here." Hawkeye sat down on the seat Loriam had previously sat on and received a deep growl in response to Akima. Akina quickly put a hand on Akima's arm, and he calmed down again. Tomaru gestured for Akima to get up and now sat down. Before he could ask why Hawkeye showed up here, the latter gave him the license. There was a general growl and hiss behind Tomaru. Sorana kept the twins from rushing at Hawk Eye while Crave and Zero had already drawn their guns.Lucille was the first to speak. "How desperate the marine must be that they come to us with a FREE letter! It's pathetic." Hawk-Eye watched them all with a grin and turned to Tomaru. "I know that you've tried to get one before ... now you have the chance to take it."

Tomaru leaned back and stared at the letter. Yes Mihawk was right, he had tried to get one before ... "No, thanks. Of course you are right I wanted one before, but definitely not now that the Navy is already begging for it. We are just too good for you! "Grinning, he leaned back and enjoyed the angry look from Hawk Eye. Crave then went forward to Tomaru and took the license. "I'll only tell you once, little boy. We're not for sale." Laughing, he tore the letter up in the air.
Hawk Eye now stood up. "I certainly didn't come here to plead with you, Tomaru, but I'll wait for your answer. After all, you know as well as I do that you can't run away from the Navy all your life. Make up your mind." He walked back slowly to his ship, followed by the angry looks of the vampires.

- Revolutionaries -
A small figure moved away from the Oro Jackson and headed straight for an island. Once there, the field mouse landed on the railing, right next to Monkey D. Dragon and Rai Matsuo. Although Rai was walking towards her, the little creature did not move from the spot. Only when Rai bent down did the being move. Rai grinned briefly "Kenta, nobody here falls for the bat number, so transform yourself back again!" Suddenly, instead of a bat, a grown man with a top hat on his head was sitting next to Rai. "I shouldn't have told you back then ..." Kevin, Akagami and Lilian came through a door. Kevin spoke up immediately. "And did you learn anything new about your own kind?"He smiled at Rai and gave her a quick greeting.

Kenta sighed briefly and told them what had happened; no sooner had he finished speaking than Akagami hit the railing with his fist. "That the navy is already resorting to the undead. That is really the very last thing ..." Now Haruka joined them. "Watch where you hit Akagami, because of you Kenta almost fell off. But I have to say you are right." She looked briefly at Lilian, who was more interested in the sea than in Kenta's stories. Suddenly she said briefly: "You are probably afraid of the straw hat gang, you now want to resort to unusual means."

So that was the first chapter, it wasn't that funny yet, but I had to incorporate the most important things.

I hope you like it and best regards Manticora
