Chapter One - Long Coat Isaac

On the Island of Dermabu lies a small tavern called the Sword and the Prayer filled pirates of all sorts, from all over the East Blue, none of them particularly big fishes, small guppies, that if you bothered to claim their bounty it would barely pay for a small biscuit. One individual however is definitely a bigger sort of fish, stooping over an empty mug of beer with an old battered Tricorne hat atop his head, a navy long coat over his shoulders and a heavy quad-barreled Revolver resting in his holster, is Isaac D No'remac a pirate with a 100,000 Beri bounty on his head.

In a world of his own, Isaac ponders how he's going to cover his tab at the Tavern; he goes back to his beer finding the mug is now empty save for small brown droplet resting at the bottom. "Hey Barkeep! Can I have a refill please?" asks Isaac, the room falling silent as he does so. A large man face covered with scars with a red and white striped bandanna on his head rises from his seat a cruel grin on his face "Kid what kind of Pirate says 'please'?" questions the Pirate chuckling, his nine cronies point and laugh at Isaac, the regulars look amongst themselves and hide under the tables.

The foreign Pirates confused look about, they have no idea, who they have insulted "What are you guys cowering for?" inquires the Grizzled Pirate "He's just a kid!" one of the Pirates cronies a rat like character with a long pointed nose sniggers and mimics his boss "Yeah! Just a kid!" Isaac tosses some coins at the Barkeep, climbs down from his seat and turns to the pirates "Well you see… I'm a pirate… that wants good service from his Barkeep" and with that Isaac pulls out his revolver and fires a single shot, the massive handgun kicks back like a horse and a cannon like bang emits from the muzzle, an expression of shock covers the Grizzled pirate's face as four of his cronies drop to the floor… dead, Isaac blows the smoke from the muzzle of his pistol and places it back in its holster. "Tha-tha-thats impossible!" stammers the rat faced pirates unbelievingly. The rest of the pirates draw their cutlasses and surround Isaac. The first pirate to attack Isaac chops downwards with his cutlass, Isaac casually sidesteps the blow and kicks the pirate in the side without a moment's hesitation. The second and third pirates attack horizontally from in front and behind Isaac, who leaps into the air and causes their attacks to behead each other. Landing gracefully, Isaac picks up their cutlasses and with one in each hand "Bring it on you spineless, BASTARDS!" shouts Isaac intimidating the remaining pirates.

The rat faced one produces two long knives, at his foot is his the wounded pirate who attacked first "h-h-help me" wheezes the pirate painfully "you're a disgrace" snaps the rat faced pirate stabbing his comrade in the back. "Do you know who you've insulted kid?" sneers the rat faced Pirate as he points at his boss "This is Skinner Joe, the Butcher, a man worth 10,000 Beri! And I'm Stabby Steven worth 5,000" Isaac turns to speak to the barkeep "Hey how much is my tab?" asks Isaac "Um… about 5,000 Beri sir" replies the barkeep. "Pleased to meet you Joe I'm Isaac D. No'remac otherwise known as Long Coat Isaac, a man worth 100,000!" says Isaac confidently turning around to view his foes the four remaining pirates tremble as Isaac charges at them a cutlass in each hand with little effort Isaac finishes off the remaining cronies and is left with Joe and Steven the two put together are 15,000 Beri below Isaac they have no idea how much of a difference eighty-five thousand Beri makes…
