Kan-Gar-Chu! (One Piece fanfic)

Ripley and the others were quick to head out from Ho-Ho Station while they were maintaining contact with each other.

Ripley was taking the lead in her ship while being followed behind by one other ship.

Her voice could be heard on the wristwatch device that was on Bunbun's wrist and Medea and Ashwin were standing nearby. "Okay. Now we must try to discuss a strategy to deal with them.

As you have been informed, they possess very advanced technology that they have gained from a long history of looting from others. The stealth capabilities of them and their ships are what are most troublesome but what makes it worse is what I will go into detail next.

The same methods cannot be used against them since they possess another piece of technology that detects similar forms of deception to their own. How it works is that it picks up on different energy forms that are used to power such things.

Those of my tribe could usually detect them quite easily when they are invisible but it is far more difficult in space within a much wider space so I will be quite useless for this. We could end up going on a wasted journey but thanks anyway."

Medea was thinking a little before saying in a calm tone. "No, you might be wrong there. I think that I may have a way to detect them from a certain range if my guess is correct.

What we need is a clear understanding of how their technology works and the power of those in their group if we want to succeed. Any ideas Ashwin? This is more in line with your expertise."

Ashwin spoke up in a calm neutral tone as he took in the information that had been provided. "I think I have some idea of what Medea has planned so it could be possible that it would work.

The next stage would be trying to handle this matter most efficiently. There are hostages involved so their lives will be at risk if we go rushing on the offensive without a clear plan prepared. Did you mention that their technology works to detect the power sources used?"

Ripley listened for some time before replying again. "Yes, that is what I believe. Do you have any ideas?"

Ashwin replied right away with a firm tone. "I have an idea that will work but it will be risky. If it does work like I am thinking then this may be the best option available to us. Do you want to give it a try?

Ripley sounded a little uncertain as she replied again. "I have no plans of my own besides rushing straightforwardly to deal with them so I will try your method."

Ashwin turned to look toward Bunbun before saying. "I still need a detailed estimate of the enemy's estimated powers if you know them but this mission will be relying on two people."

They went on to discuss the details of the plan in more detail so they knew what to expect and if their plan would be successful.

They continued to travel for quite some time as they surveyed their surroundings on the way.

When they reached the rough destination they were heading to where Neo Stella and the rest of the Ripper Mercenaries were last known to be, the ships joined together to try to survey the area for any clues of where the Camo Pirates disappeared to.

After following a little of the advice from Ripley about the closest places to dock the ships, they chose from the available directions and went together.

They kept moving while Medea remained completely still as she sat with her eyes closed.

A deep look of concentration was on her face as her senses were spread out as far as she could manage.

Her brows suddenly furrowed and her eyes opened followed by her speaking to those who were waiting close by. "I picked up on something. You guys should hurry and prepare."

Ripley exited her ship and stood around like she was looking around her surroundings.

She looked very nervous and angry as she paced around outside of her ship in her spacesuit which allowed her to handle the outside atmosphere of the environment she was in.

She stomped her feet on the deck of her ship before flailing her arms around as if she was very angry.

There was a small display of her repeating the same actions before going back into her ship and setting off again.

Nobody would find anything strange from her actions but she turned her ship around and went away in another direction moments later.

If anyone saw her actions then they would think that she was just throwing a tantrum since she could not find her allies or the Camo Pirates.

What nobody had realized was that within those movements that were made, she had been able to successfully pull off her part of the plan before retreating.

Two figures were currently hanging onto an invisible ship like their lives depended on it but nobody could see them.

One was Bunbun who was in her Faerie Dragon Mythical Zoan form while using her scales to make herself invisible.

The other was Ashwin who had recently gained the Clear Devil Fruit allowing him to become invisible too.

They were thrown by Ripley in the direction that Medea sensed the locations of the invisible ships of the Camo Pirates.
