"Hey, you almost hit me with that. You should really look where you're aiming," Luffy said, looking at him.
Kairo didn't say much, he just clenched his sword before—
WHOOSH
He vanished from sight. He appeared in front of Luffy, swinging his blade at the boy's head.
CLING
Zoro appeared in the way of the blade, stopping the attack before it could reach Luffy.
Everyone seemed surprised by this—the speed at which he was moving was insane. Usopp, noticing the gap, fired his sniper shot.
But as the attack almost hit him, Kairo's body vanished as if it was a mirage.
Zoro looked confused. Kairo reappeared behind Vivi and Nami, his kunai at their throats.
"What are you guys doing on this island?" His voice sounded monotone.
They all looked shocked. How did he get there so quickly? Wasn't he just with Zoro a second ago?
Nami swallowed hard, feeling the edge of the blade against her throat. A thin line of blood slid down her skin.
This was dangerous.
Yet Luffy didn't seem that mad. He actually felt no true killing intent from Kairo. This felt more like a... test.
Oh well.
"We landed here a few hours ago. We just needed to wait until our log pose is done resetting and we could leave," Nami said, sweating a bit.
"It takes one year for the log pose to reset."
Heh.
For real? Or hell nah? They didn't have all the time in the world—they could not stay in this bitch for long.
His gaze then landed on Vivi.
"And you must be the princess those other guys were after."
"Other guys?" Usopp said.
"Wait, you mean Baroque Works? You mean they're here?" He was scared shitless. The fuck you mean they were here?
Kairo removed his weapon from their necks, vanishing as a fist from Luffy barely missed his face.
He reappeared a couple of meters away.
"Nami-swan! Vivi! Are you two okay?" Sanji was worried about them.
They reassured him they were fine. After making sure they were alright, Sanji glared at Kairo and said:
"You bastard, how dare you cut Nami-san. I'll make you pay for this!"
Kairo's gaze shifted to the nearby water, then to Luffy.
Zoro noticed this and rushed in to slice him, yet before he could get there—
Water Style: Water Prison Jutsu
As those words left his mouth, the puddle in front of Luffy wrapped itself around him, trapping him inside a water bubble. He was fully submerged, though even inside the water there was a small pocket to breathe. Didn't change the fact he was still submerged.
Meaning no Devil Fruit powers. Yet, Luffy didn't really care. He was weak right now—what he did care about though...
"Wait... you said Jutsu. Are you a ninja?"
Kairo tilted his head to the side. Was this really all the boy cared about?
"Yeah, what about it?"
"So cool!"
"Heh!?" The confusion on Kairo's face was evident. The man was practically drowning and yet he had time for this BS.
The heck.
His gaze returned to everyone else. Something he noticed among all the boys were the stars in their eyes.
The heck. One second ago he was fighting them, the next it was like this.
What the hell was wrong with this crew?
"Join my crew!"
The hell.
"I don't even know your name. Why would I agree to that?" The water cage around Luffy was released—this idiot clearly wasn't a threat.
"I'm Monkey D. Luffy, and I'm going to be King of the Pirates!"
Kairo's brow furrowed a bit.
"You don't look like a pirate." Kairo didn't see the... His eyes widened a bit. Wait. Monkey D. Luffy? Wasn't that the name of the MC of the One Piece story? Holy shit, he almost forgot. Wait—so did that mean he came here in canon? That wasn't Kairo's fault—he barely remembered the show at this point. Apart from stuff like Gear Five and the basics, he forgot.
"I am! We even have a pirate ship and a flag," the boy explained.
"You do, huh." He didn't sound like he believed a word he said.
"The idiot's not lying," Nami added. She felt all intent to kill vanish from the guy. Even when she looked at her neck, no scratch was there—as if she had never been cut to begin with. Still, she worried about him.
"You... you're a Lunarian, aren't you?"
Kairo froze, turning his head toward the voice. And lo and behold, Vivi could be seen.
"And what gave you that idea, princess?" he said, turning his gaze to her.
"Your wings."
"SHIT." He looked annoyed. Dammit. He thought he had them hidden. Looking back—yup, they were there, on full display. His gaze landed where Usopp's bullets had hit. They were flammable. They'd burned the little cord he had tied around his wings to hide them.[chapter 90}
Meanwhile, the Strawhats seemed confused. This cold guy suddenly looked like a child who messed up.
"I need to find some more non-flammable materials," he muttered to himself.
A/N For anyone saying how the fuck she found out, he could just be a zoan user....to that i say.
But the fact he was clearly tying his wings down with bindings tipped her off.
A Zoan wouldn't need to hide wings since they could just shift back to human form.
Lunarians, however, can't make their wings vanish — so they'd need to conceal them.
As a princess, Vivi would've been taught about "extinct races" (Giants, Shandians, Lunarians, etc.) at least in passing, making her sharp enough to notice.
Plus he is like 15 feet tall dark skin, if that dont scream that shit dont know what will. [chapter 90]
