(Samuel's POV)
I stood over the unconscious body of Jag, whose eyes were whitened out and his mouth was open. To say that he was a bit weak was an understatement. Uncle said he was a Legendary Beast Zoan user but he was very underwhelming to say the least.
"Samuel." I heard Uncle call out
I turned around and saw him standing next to Nona, giving me a serious look, "Uncle!" I said, "You guys have to get out of here, this is bad! The Marines will come and they might arrest you!"
He nodded, "I suppose so." He said, "What about you?"
"I will figure something out." I said, "The last thing I want is for you to get hurt."
"You best take care, Samuel." He said, "Lie low for a few days until this passes. I will be fine. I need you to come back in a few days so we can talk really thoroughly about what just happened."
I was going to say something when I heard shouting in the distance. I turned around to see a massive groups of marines making their way towards us.
"Go now!" I said, "I will be fine!"
"I am serious, Samuel." Uncle said, "Come back in a few days."
I nodded, "Yes."
He turned around, "Let's go Nona." He said, "We have to get out of here."
"R-Right." Nona said as they both began to run away as the rain picked up
I stood there as the group of Marines reached us, some of them immediately tending to the ones that were taken down by the thugs as the rest surrounded me and the others. They all pointed their weapons at me as I raised my hands.
"Don't move or we'll shoot!!!" a marine shouted, "You are under arrest!"
I felt the rain soak my hair and shoulders, "I can already tell." I said, "There is not much I can do about that."
"Well well...." I heard a voice say, "What do we have here?"
I saw as the group parted and a woman walked through. She was wearing an officer's coat as she wore a suit underneath. She looked young, around my age, and had white hair with purple eyes. She had a nice curvaceous body which is very inappropriate that it is the first thing I thought when looking at her.
"And you are?" I said
"Name's Rhea." She said with a chuckle, "Captain Rhea. I was on duty with Smoker in this wretched town....he's busy dealing with the upstart Pirate while I have to deal with whoever you are."
She had her hands in her pockets as she walked up to me, an amused look on her face as rain droplets covered her face. She was scanning me, trying to see if there was anything out of the usual with me or my body.
"Hm...." I said, "Okay...."
"You are going to come with us quietly." She said, "You really do not want to fight back. Trust me, I have been itching to beat someone down hard today and I am a fair woman, so I will not have to hurt you unless absolutely necessary."
I nodded, "Fine....."
"Good." She said with a smirk,
"Let's get out of this rain then."
*********
"What is your relationship with this man?" Captain Rhea said as she showed me a picture of the man known as Dante, "Hm?"
We were in a room inside one of the Navy Ships that was docked on the port. It was still raining and when I was escorted to the ship, I heard there was a massive commotion involving the pirates. I am sure that the Straw Hats caused some trouble because there were lots of marines screaming about them.
Now, I was stuck with this woman who was shoving the picture of the man they were looking for. All while I was sitting in the chair with chains wrapped around me tightly, which is not something that is comfortable, might I add.
"Never seen him before." I said as I frowned
"Hm...." she said, "Well, what is his relationship with your Uncle? They have been spotted together once or twice."
"Maybe he sold him a pair of pants." I said with a slight smirk, "How do you expect for me to know? I have only lived in Loguetown for a couple of months, I don't know everyone who has passed through before then."
"Oh, so you're not a local?" She said as she pulled a chair in front of me and sat down, "Where are you from?"
"Cozia." I said
"Cozia?" She said with a raised eyebrow, "Interesting...quite far away...."
"Well, yes." I said
"What is your Uncle doing with a shop in Loguetown while you lived in Cozia?" She asked, "Your Uncle's name is Tristan, right? He is what, your Father's brother?"
"Mother's....." I said
"And your Mother is from Cozia?" She asked me
"No." I said, "She was from the Goa Kingdom."
"Ummm....." She said as she crossed her leg, "I do not understand. Your Uncle is your Mother's brother, who has a shop here in Loguetown...and your Mother is from the Goa Kingdom.....but you are from Cozia? Is your Father from there?"
"I wouldn't know. My Father died when I was a baby." I said
"You see why this does not make sense, right?" She said with a frown, "Three different Islands.....and you're supposed to be Family."
"I don't know the whole history of my Mother and her brother. She liked to Travel, I suppose." I said, "What's your point?"
"What were you doing in Cozia? Occupation?" She asked
"I worked at the docks." I said with a serious expression
"Interesting..." She said, "Are you sure?"
"Why would I not be?" I said while tilting my head
"Your whole deal confuses me, I need to be sure." She said as she crossed her arms, "You see, you claim to be a normal shopkeeper who does nothing but sell clothes all day every day....but you beat up a known Criminal Boss.....and well, I will have to admit....I am impressed....he was a devil fruit user.....and not just any...but a Legendary Beast Zoan user....which is quite rare....and crazy to even encounter one. I spoke to my superior earlier before coming back to see you and you know what he said?"
"No." I said
"He told me that anyone who could beat a Legendary Beast Zoan Devil Fruit User is not someone to be underestimated." She said as she stood up and gave me a smirk, "You see, I think you are lying."
"Why would I?" I asked
"Obviously, to cover for Dante." She said as she began to walk around me, "You see, I do not know how a regular shopkeeper can not only fight a Legendary Beast Zoan user....but use the esteemed Martial Arts known as Rokushiki....."
She stopped behind me and leaned down next to my head, giving me a wicked smirk and a menacing look into my eyes.
"Unless they are not who they say they are." She said, "Not just anyone can use Tekkai and Rankyaku without serious training....and I know for sure that a random Shopkeeper from Loguetown....a town in the East Blue of all places, would learn two of the Six Techniques."
"So, who are you?"
