The Straw-Hat Among Us Ch3 Part 1

Black: Marshall D. Teach

Someone had been tipping over his snowmen.

Who’d even do that? Just go out into the snow to destroy his little boys? Probably one of those three bloodthirsty bastards who wanted to vote him off. He didn’t do it, damn it! And why the hell would he?? Killing one’s brother… Not even Teach was that depraved.

Not as depraved as whoever was up and destroying his precious snowmen. Damn it.

He didn’t actually have to fix them back up or anything, his job was really just to make sure no earthquakes destroyed everything, but was there really anything to be lost with rebuilding them? Of course not! If anything, it gave him something to do and a cute little distraction from the facts of the matter.

And that’s how Teach found himself by the lava pit. That’s where he went first. Letting Marco lie around in the snow… it would’ve been perverse.

Only he could possibly be allowed to send his brother into his final resting place.

Once he’d done that, he rebuilt the closest snowman, right by one of the many weather nodes, and continued his trek. He swivelled around the entrance of the Laboratory, gave a thoughtless wave to Kizaru, and continued past the Storage building, past the…

No, he didn’t walk past the Dropship. He took a turn, and entered.

Teach wasn’t sure about how he felt about Shanks. Everything considered, he’d probably saved his life. If it hadn’t been for him, those blindsighted bastards would’ve jumped at him like a bunch of sharks smelling blood. In that frame of mind, Teach wouldn’t even have been able to defend himself. Then again, he wasn’t exactly open to trusting anyone. Smoker had been absolutely right.

That’s why Teach voted for Shanks in the first place. In hindsight, he should really have been more optimistic.

Grumbling, Teach finally entered the shuttle, bringing in some snow. There was no one in the main room, but that was alright. Shanks should be in the cockpit, an area you had to use your ID-card to get into. Unzipping one of his many pockets, Teach removed his ID-card and swiped it. A green light blinked and the door opened, allowing Teach entry.

It was empty as well.

The only thing so much as hinting that Shanks had been here at all was a yellow sticky note, containing scribbled notes about where Shanks had left off.

But no Shanks.

It was… concerning, in the least. Maybe Teach had been right to vote for Shanks? Or had something else happened to him?...

Teach left the Shuttle and decided not to think into it.

He had a mission to complete, namely to reconstruct his snowmen. He’d already finished up most of them, and there was only a single one left. Passing by the entrance to Electrical, Teach gave the blinking camera a little wave and continued down, following along the cracking fence. Was it his imagination, or did it seem a bit… louder than usual?

No, that can’t be possible. That would be-,

S-, stupid…

At least, he’d found Shanks. Slumped against the fence. Head twisted around too far for the neck to go. Collapsed in a bunch of snow that used to be his snowman. Twitching coldly as bouts of electricity bit into his body.

Teach stopped in his tracks. Once his panic settled and his heart rate fell from its peak, he turned around, glancing behind him. Where he was, the cameras couldn’t see him. He couldn’t hear anybody. If he just left…

No, wait. Shanks must have come from the Shuttle, meaning Kizaru saw him. Teach had also been seen.

Teach looked down at the body, head twisted around to face away from him.

Unless he did something, he was fucked. He’d be voted out for a murder he didn’t commit, tossed into the same lava pit he’d thrown his brother into. The only way he could avoid this fate was to change the story.

That is… if Shanks’ body wasn’t outside the electrical fence.

What if… it was inside?...

Teach gritted his teeth. It was his only option. He bent down, his large body eclipsing Shanks’, and took a hold of it. He was light, but not too much so. Teach knew he was strong enough to do this, but it still felt… wrong. His only stroke of luck here was the fact that the killer hadn’t stabbed Shanks or something, meaning that there was no blood-soaked snow to fear. Not like where he’d found his brother.

Teach hated how loose the body felt. There was a certain heat to it, as if his final breath had been drawn mere moments ago, still lingering in his lopsided helmet.

Marco had been so cold. Too cold, really. Like he was frozen, through and through.

Teach tossed Shanks’ body over the fence, grunting slightly. The red-clad corpse collapsed onto one of the four reactors, causing it to roar with static crackles. The limbs thrashed and heaved as thousands of volts crashed through it, dead muscle tensing up coldly.

Teach turned away, unable to bear watching it. Then, he headed for the southern entrance to the West Wing. He waved to the camera, and tried to show a smile. It felt off on his face.

“What I’m telling you is that we should’ve invested in some sort of chemical oxidization, not some stupid tree!”

“Hey, it isn’t a stupid tree, it’s a marvel of botanic engineering!” Usopp argued. “Furthermore, it is 100% more effective than-, GACK!!”

At this point, Usopp noticed Teach, who stood in the doorway to O2 like a large, lumbering bear. “Uh, hi,” Teach mumbled, taking another step into the room. Usopp jerked at the greeting, clearly unhappy to see him. Buggy, on the other hand, didn’t seem to react as intensely, although he did squint rather suspiciously.

“What brings you here, Teach?” Buggy asked, balancing a canister in his hand.

Teach crossed the room in three even strides. “Just… walkin’ around. People not seein’ me last time got ‘em suspicious.” He wasn’t lying per se, simply… twisting the truth a bit. “‘Sides, can’t trust nobody.” He let his eyes narrow. “‘Specially not ones who stick up fer each other.”

“If-, if that’s all you came to say, you can just go,” Usopp said, glancing away to evade Teach’s venomous glance. Even still, Teach did leave. He only stopped by to give them an impression, and he needed nothing more. The tunnel leading to Electrical crunched softly beneath his boots. He felt seen, surveyed, observed. The walls had ears, but he couldn’t see them.

When he emerged into Electrical, the crunching didn’t stop even though he had left the tunnel.

He stared back, visions of ghasts clad in red with necks twisted too far back haunting the corridor, limbs twisting around and snapping back into place without rhyme or reason.

Shaking his head, Teach tried to calm his breathing. He-, he’d only done it to survive! They wouldn’t have found anything even if they searched it, this was just as well! Needless slaughter was worse than not knowing who did it! Still, he could still hear that crunching sound. Like someone stalking the hall, or bones and teeth crunching, or, or…

“Ohhhhh, hi Teeeaaach!” Kizaru greeted happily upon noticing Teach, bringing another fistfull of popcorn to his face to crunch down on them. Upon noticing Teach staring at his bag of popcorn, he stretched it out towards the larger man. “Want someee? Zoro went and made it for meeeeee, very nice guyyyy!”

Teach felt flustered. “N-, no!” An embarrassed scowl settled on his face. “The hell are you so happy about? People are dead!”

Kizaru paused for a moment, eyes widening. “But only the Chief has died yeeeeeet?”

Teach’s jaw snapped shut. “Well, err, yeah, but, um… it’s aliens, ‘right? In a way, people ‘ave already died when they got replaced by the imitators, yeah?” Teach argued, trying to make broad gestures while speaking to ensure that the point came across. As shameful as it was, he’d once taken a course in rethorics, and apparently body language was really important, even though it was altogether kinda stupid. The bigger the fist, the better the argument!

Kizaru seemed oddly thoughtful, even though Teach was pretty sure his head was empty. That, or filled with sweet-smelling smoke. A minute or so later, Kizaru beamed a lop-sided open smile. “You’re riiiiight! Why, that’s the most clever thing anybody’s ever said to meeeee~!”

Well, that was easy. “Uh, yeah. Just wanted ‘ta check in on ya.” Teach turned an eye to the cameras, currently showing the entrance to the Laboratory. “I, uh. Seen anybody suspicious?”

Kizaru looked up at the roof, scratching his chin. “Nooooo, Buggy and Usopp have kept in heeeere, Doflamingo and Caesar have stayed in the Laboratory, so the only people about are you, Zoro and Shaaaaanks.” He took a peek back at the cameras, furrowing his brows. “...Though I haven’t seen Shanks in a whileeee…”

“He, uh, isn’t in the Shuttle?”

“Hm? Nah, nahhhh, he left there a while agooooo. And then you came byyyy. Haven’t seen him, have youuu?”

Teach hastily shook his head. “N-, no! I haven’t!”

“That’s fineeee, I trust youuuuu~”

“You shouldn’t.” Teach swivelled his head around, suddenly coming face to face with Zoro. Quiet as a panther. Teach swallowed hard, trying to ignore the stabbing glare Zoro was giving him. “If anything, you should suspect him above any others.”

“Hey!” Teach said, a weak attempt to defend himself.

Meanwhile, Kizaru glanced between the monitor and Zoro, finally giving an embarrassed little smile as he scratched his neck. “Aaahh, Zoroooo, I didn’t see you cominggg. Didn’t you have something to do in the Laboratoryyyy?”

Zoro nodded. “I did, but something’s up with one of the reactors.” He cast a glance at Teach, filled with unkempt hostility. “You wouldn’t happen to know anything about it, would you?” Teach quickly shook his head. “Then, you won’t mind coming with me to check it out either, would you?”

“...No. I wouldn’t.”

“I’ll keep waaaatch~.”

They walked through the hallway in silence. It was obvious Zoro didn’t trust him, just going by the stale way he walked and the tension in his jaw. Even more so by his quick, squinted glances, as if he was keeping an eye on him while at the same time keeping an eye out for any unusual movements. Teach couldn’t say he liked being suspected, but it beat being executed by a long shot.

The door to the outside part of Electrical was shut. Zoro stared at it for a moment, mumbled something about how it wasn’t supposed to be closed, fiddled with his ID-card for a moment before finally getting it open. It opened with a hydraulic pissh, and for a second, Teach couldn’t see anything in that darkness.

Sure, the crackle of electricity did illuminate the enclosed area a bit, but hardly enough for them to notice it at once.

No, what Teach noticed at first was the shower of sparks flying like a waterfall of stars from one of the reactors, making everything around it shine and light up. It was almost beautiful, if Teach hadn’t seen what was causing it.

As it seems, his limbs stopped thrashing about after a while. Smoke billowed from his charred body, emitting one of the most unnerving smells Teach had ever smelled.

Like freshly cooked meat. And nothing else.

Teach could hear Zoro’s toolbox clattering to the floor. “...Holy shit.”

Was there any better description to this scene?

Teach felt like puking, but he couldn’t bring himself to.

Zoro took a shaky step forward, turned to Teach, and spoke. “Go get everyone else. We’ve gotta get him down.” Although the words he spoke were authoritative and strong, his voice was not. It was shaky, unsure. The situation was getting to him, much like it had gotten to Teach.

Teach nodded, and ran off. He’d never been much for running, but now, he had no choice.

He didn’t even take the time to fear an ambush.

Ten minutes later and all members of the expedition stood gathered in Electrical, watching as Zoro briefly switched off the reactors. Smoke still clung to Shanks’ body like his unwilling soul attempting to stave off his own death, but the skyfall of embers ceased falling from him. After that was done, Zoro, Smoker and Teach all worked together to bring his body down to the ground. Apparently, there wasn’t too much actual damage to the actual reactor, but that didn’t make it any better.

Nobody spoke a word. They all collected around his body, an unannounced silent minute ringing out.
