The Great Age of Piracy [One Piece]

He walked around the town for a while before somehow ending up in the plaza where apparently a tournament was being held. Looking around he spotted Damian and Orphan. He quickly went to them and was able to catch some of the last part of their conversation.


He chuckled lowly when he heard the last part before he quickly went to them.

"Now that's some punishment." He chuckled a little before asking. "So whats the problem now?"

"Ryu, nice to see you" I greet absentmindendly, looking around the ring to see if my opponent is here.

"What!? But I actually have a LEGIT reason for this!" I then get out the poster I shoved into my pocket. "A meeting with my older sister is the first place prize! I actually need to-"

"Ryu!" I say with hope-filled eyes. "Tell him that I needed to join this tournament to talk to my sister! A meeting with her is the first place prize! Also 50,000 Beli! I needed to enter so that I can talk to her!"

I smile again.

"Oh, really? I understand. So you knew that this tournament had as a prize a meeting with a Marine Officer and you got in it all the same, right?"

I was still smiling, but this time it was more of the variety: you fucked up.

"You are right, two weeks of punishment duty is not a just punishment. I rescind it."

I gave him five seconds of joy. Then spoke again.

"And substitute it with THREE weeks of punishment duty."

Then I looked at him, fixing him in the eyes.

"Any other complaints? I'm sure that I can find some other punishment to assign you to. And don't even think to run. I will find you."
 
"Oh, really? I understand. So you knew that this tournament had as a prize a meeting with a Marine Officer and you got in it all the same, right?"
"Uh.......Okay, that's a bit fair. But she's the most level-headed of my siblings. She'll listen to my reasoning!" I plead with all my might.
"You are right, two weeks of punishment duty is not a just punishment. I rescind it."
"Thanks man. I knew you would-"
"And substitute it with THREE weeks of punishment duty."

Then I looked at him, fixing him in the eyes.

.......Well then, screw you too. "WHAT!? But she doesn't even know I'm a 'You-know-what!' They only know me as........." I lean into Orphan's ear. "Steel Arms. All they know is that I have steel arms and wear a hoodie. They haven't seen my face because I pull the hood over my face. So, all I have to do is keep my metal power a secret during the rest of the tournament and the meeting, give my reasons to why she should drop the Marines, persuade her to join us, and BLAM! We got a girl on our team that knows some of the Marines weaknesses!" I then step away from Orphan, hoping I could persuade my crewmate/punisher.

"Denied. First of all, if she was so easy to seduce to our side she wouldn't be a marine in a position of power. Second, from what I got from you, you won't last three round without revealing who you are. And third..."

I yanked his hood further down his face.

"... an hood on the face is not a mask. It just need a well placed punch to yank it away. So no."

I then patted him on the head.

"Try to understand, I'm doing this for the safety of all of us. you can't go half-cocked like this and do something that involve all of us. Okay?"

I smiled to him, this one aless scary one.

I smile back at him. "Fair. I guess I can take the punishment." I smile back. "And I guess that I can also do the dishes."

I chuckled. Do the dishes? Sea, this child really didn't know anything about seafaring.

"Good boy. Goooood boy."

I patted his head again, like I would do to a small animal.

I wonder what his face will be when he discover what punishment duty involve.

I start getting a bit miffed from being patted on. I then decide to ask about the duties.

"But to be honest, what is a punishment duty?" I ask puzzled.

"In short? Doing whatever I say. I will explain more when all this things is finished."

I send him a last smile and went towards the ring, where my name was just being called.

"Ladies and Gentleman, it's time to start the third round of the tournament! At my right we have Jonny Giant, that you all know!"

A man much taller than me, with shoulder that rivaled a wardrobe, entered on the ring. It had blond hair, short, and moved somewhat slowly, rotating his arms in some kind of menacing motion. It was dressed in green and blue, a sneer on his face. The crowd cheer when he trust his arms up, like he already won.

So, slow and strong. Easy.

"Aaaand at my left another newcomer! Kaze no Akuma!"

I remove my hood and take out my hair form the inside of my jacket, letting them fall on my back. They are one of my most distinctive feature, seeing as they reach my knees. I jump on the platform and let the gust of wind spread my hair around me. The crowd is shocked for a moment, then start to laugh and booing. I smile.

"You?! You are my opponent?! Ah! This tournament will be easier than I thought! Surrender now and I will not send you back to your mommy crying!"

Again, I smile.

"Ready?! FIGHT!!"

And the fight start. Jonny Giant raise a fist, ready to charge me and send me down in one hit. I smile again.

Then, I move. The crowd only see Jonny fall to the ground.

I simply used my chains to hit on both sides of the head, temple and ears to scramble his brains and make him fall unconscious. The fact that I did it so fast that nobody else saw it was simply a bonus.

I continute to smile.

".... Wi...Winner Kaze no Akuma!"

Amidst the shouts of teh crowd, I return down to my crewmates.

"Did you like my match?"
 
"In short? Doing whatever I say. I will explain more when all this things is finished."

Amidst the shouts of teh crowd, I return down to my crewmates.

"Did you like my match?"

"AWESOME, Kaze!!" I yell out, proud of my crewmate. Man, he fights with a cool style! But I bet I can take him on! I smirk and then hear the next match-up. "Next up: Fiana, the beautiful dancer of death, V.S. The Metal Enigma!!" I look up seeing a girl my age in a belly dancer uniform. "Oh my god......" I'm enraptured by her.......Chest. I hope that no one thinks I'm a-Wait what!? I have to fight that beauty? Urgh!! I can't believe this! I climb onto the and just sit, criss-crossed on the ring floor.

"In this corner, we have the girl from the very Island we reside on! The girl who has stolen the hearts of the boys on this island, Fiana!!" She is just staring daggers at me. Oh goddammit.

"And in this corner, the surprising newcomer, The Metal Enigma!!" I look up, a bit angered that I have to fight a lady. Cheers are scattered around the crowd. Apparently, I'm not welcomed. "I'm sorry, Enigma. I'm sure that you have reasons for fighting in this tourney, but I need to win first prize!!" She pulls out two fans, both made of metal. I still sit there, not raising a single hand.

"Thank you."

Then he jumped on the ring.

Fuck. A straight teen against a beautiful woman? He's screwed.

"Remember what will happen if you lose!"
 
She looks at me, confused. "Why do you not raise a hand to fight me? Is it because I'm a woman?" She angrily spits out the last word at me. "Exactly. I have a code: Never to harm a woman. That is the only teaching that my father placed inside my heart." I look at her intensely.
"Remember what will happen if you lose!"
"Don't care!" I turn to my crewmate. Fuck if I care. She then starts walking towards me, fans drawn. "Do you think I will trust the words a MAN!?" She swings a fan at me and I roll out of the way.

"I'm not fighting you."
"You will if you want to live!"

She slashes at me again. I roll again.
"Ma'am, I don't want to hurt you."
"Your kind has already hurt me!"

She attacks and I roll for the third time. The crowd starts to boo.
