One Piece: The Curse-Eye Pirates

Chapter 1: Beginnings & Memories

A raft was drifting through the ocean with a lone figure past out onto it. This figure was male with only two things that were visible to the naked eye. These were the chest of average size and the two katana swords, which were on the figure's waist. The figure had a long black trench coat with baggy black pants and a pair of black boots. If you get a look at the figure's face, when there wasn't any of his long black hair covering it you would see a bluish-black eye patch over his right eye. The figure had caramel color on his skin and lay lifeless on the raft…until the raft was picked up by something.

A boat transporting people from one island to another was going on its route until a crew member sighted a lone raft with a male on it laying there with a chest. As soon as the boat caught speed it sailed next to the raft and scooped it out of the water and put it on deck. As people came out to see what was happening they would see a male lay there like he wasn't alive until…

"AI YAI!" The male yelled ah he sat up and shook his head with his hand on it shocking everyone that saw the motion. The male looked around and saw that not only was he not still sailing, but he was a boat with a bunch of people who didn't look like pirates. He then stood up and shook the water out of his hair, which some of it still managed to get wet. He then saw the captain and a few crew members of the ship, or at least what he thought approach him. "So, you fished me out of the sea?" The male said like he didn't care or wanted them to.

"Yes, one of the crew on this ship transporting people to the next island in the East Blue." The captain said for he didn't know if the man was aware which sea he was in.

"Well you didn't really have to but, you and your crew have my thanks. Since this is a transporting vassal for people I shall pay for my share and take a seat somewhere and have something to eat. How much is the fee?" The figure said as he bent down and opened the chest on the raft a bit so he could reach in and no one to see.

"Oh just 150 beli's that was the fee for the transport, the food downstairs is different how ever you must pay for what you want." The captain said as everyone who saw the scene went back to what they were doing before.

The male stood and handed the man about 400 beli. "The extra is for you fishing me out of the sea. Now if you would excuse me I would like to go have a bite to eat." The male then moved the hair out the view of his face, where everyone who saw could see his eye patch and his brownish-green eye that he used for seeing. The women of both the crew and passengers looked at the man like he was a handsome fellow, while the older men looked at the man with disbelief. The man looked about the age of twenty and no older than twenty-three and yet he sailed on a raft and survived. "Oh and I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Hudan D. Tatshi." The young man said with a smile as he walked past the captain and everyone else to the food court below deck with his chest.

Tatshi sat down as he set his swords down next to him next to the chest. The waiter then handed him a menu and bowed as he went to serve the other people, but not before speaking to the young man. "Just wave to me when you're ready to order sir."

Tatshi exhaled a deep breathe as he looked at the menu. 'Man, I wonder when I am going to meet some people I can recruit for my nakama.' Tatshi thought as he looked at the menu in the meats section and saw that most of it was cheap. 'Good, saves me money for now until I hit town.' He then waved over the waiter as he reclined back in his chair.

"Ah, how may I help you sir?" The waiter said as he stood at the table.

"Yeah, bring me everything in the meat section of the menu with some rum." Tatshi said as he handed the menu to the shocked waiter.

"Sir, you must mean you want one or two things but not the whole meat section." The waiter said, only to have Tatshi shake his head 'no' motion. "Okay, your meal shall be ready soon." The waiter then walked to the square in the wall and told the chief the order.

Tatshi looked at his chest a few feet away from him. 'The only thing left that was there for me to use. Thanks grandma and grandpa for the heirloom.' Tatshi then brushed his hand over his eye patch feeling some of his energy drain as he touched it. 'This seastone laced eye patch is the only thing that is keeping my power in check. I was stupid and smart enough to eat the only Bachi Me Bachi Me no Ni fruit in existence. Now I can't swim if my life depended on it, which it does some times.' Tatshi was pulled from his thoughts when his food arrived. As soon as the food was in-front of him he began eating like no tomorrow. The on lookers were just in shock as Tatshi just ate like he hadn't had food in months.

After about an hour later Tatshi just finished his fourth course of the meat menu and reached into his chest and pulled out the money to pay for the meal, which was about 2,500 beli. He then stood and replaced his swords on both sides of his waist where they belonged. "Hey, do you know where I can put my chest so I don't have keep a constant eye on it." Tatshi asked the waiter as he held back a laugh from the look on the waiter's face when he said 'keep a constant eye on it' and soon got an answer from the man.

"Yeah, storage is right down the hall. Your items should be safe there." The waiter said as he brought the dirty plates and empty glasses into the kitchen to be cleaned.

Tatshi found the storage room and placed his chest in it and walked on deck. He saw it was getting dark and from the speed of the boat and word from one of the crew members he saw as he made his way to the deck that they should arrive to the next island in the middle of the night. 'Might as well get some sleep now. Maybe I'll meet someone that will join my nakama on the next island.' And with that thought Tatshi sat down on the deck leaning his back against the rail and feel asleep.

Flashback

A young Tatshi was sitting in a chair listening to stories about his mother being a fierce captain of her nakama. They were called the banshee pirates, mainly because his mother had a voice of a banshee and sword skill that would give red hair a run for his money. He rarely saw his mother or father or brother because she was an infamous pirate captain and his father and brother because they were revolutionaries. He stayed with his grandparents up until they died. Then he would stay with friends of his mother's and father's until he started to travel alone. But now he met his mother and her nakama in a random town on a random island. He may have been only twelve at the time, but Tatshi could take care of himself being trained by a person who had lived through many battles and could see something is going to go wrong just by the feel of the air. But here he is talking to his mother's nakama like he was one. "Yeah, kid you should have seen her when I fished up a sea king. She kicked its ass from here to hell and back!" A man with a long pistol and a blond bread and mustache wearing a green bandana said with a loud tone.

"Yo, Kenshin stop talking about me like that to my son you lazy bastard!" His mother came out of a room with something that was wrapped up in a cloth and a little chest. She had short black hair tied into to ponytails at the back. Her eyes were dark brown and she wore a brown jacket with a purple tank top underneath. She also wore a pair of jeans that were brown with a purple slash like marks on it going up and down. She looked like she was about the ages thirty-seven. "Now, Tatshi after what I heard from my friend that trained you with a sword or two." At this Kenshin did a single 'Ha' as he heard Tatshi being able to wield two swords. And at that Tatshi's mother gave him an evil look before continuing. "As I've been traveling the grand line, I've been in many fights and seen many treasures. And when I heard you finally can hold your own with a sword, taking after your ma I just had to give you something I won in a fight a long while back. I think I had this around the time I met your father…damn revolutionary." She then handed her son the object wrapped in the cloth.

Tatshi then unwrap the object to see a katana in a jade sheathe. He drew the katana and his went wide. "Mom…this is a supreme grad sword. The Kon Teiku this sword isn't supposed to be lost since the last wielder was killed by a dragon and the sword went with him." Tatshi said as he looked up at his mother.

"Yeah about that, it was in the possession of Dragon. So after some convincing and some meaningful haggling I was able to get it from him." His mother said with a smile and laughed.

"You mean after a three hour fight and you shoving the hilt of your long sword halfway up his ass and him hitting you with a huge ass lightning bolt, which I might add made you go through the whole city by going through building walls. And after that it was your husband who stopped it all by saying he should just give you the blade since he had no use for it anyways. Then he just shrugged and disappeared and an hour later he returned with it. I was surprised that you only left with a big lip and a few bruises, when you usually leave with more broken bones whenever you two get in an argument." Kenshin said in a matter of fact voice.

Tatshi just looked at his mother with a wide eyed look. "You went up against Dragon? All that just for a sword and dad just said a few things and got him to give it to you just like that? I don't know who to think in more awe of Dad or you." Tatshi said as he mother gave him and Kenshin a very evil look.

"Fine, since you don't want to thank me I'll just give to another friend's daughter or his prized student. I bet they'll be more thankful when they see this blade and even more thankful when they get it." And after she said that, Tatshi just ran up and hugged his mother with tears.

"Thank you Mom, I love you just don't take it back please!" Tatshi begged as he looked up at his mother.

"Fine, fine just calm down and get a grip." She said with a smile. "I swear you're becoming more like me every day. Now, I have to go see someone so I'll see you before me and my nakama leave this island." She said to Tatshi and then looked at Kenshin. "Get everyone ready to leave, and make sure you lock this thing up." She said as she threw Kenshin the small chest.

"Ai cap'in." Kenshin said as she left, he then looked at Tatshi, who was admiring his new katana. "Gaki, I'll be back in about ten minutes gotta tell the nakama to get ready to leave." He said as he left the room forgetting the little chest.

'Yatta, this katana is so cool! Thanks mom, now I know I wanna become strong and get a nakama of my own so I can see the world like you. I will become stronger than you and I might even become the pirate king!' Tatshi thought with a huge smile, just as his stomach began to growl. Tatshi looked around and saw the little chest opened a little. He then opened it and saw a weird shaped fruit with weird markings and it was jade green. 'Mom probably just wanted it locked up in the fridge, but I'm really hungry and can't wait for Kenshin to get back. I'll just eat it and saw I was too hungry to wait.' Tatshi thought as he picked up the fruit and ate it like an apple until it was gone. 'Hmmm, it tasted tangy but good none the less.' Tatshi thought as he got up out of the chair and began to walk toward the door only to stop from the pain he was feeling. He then let out the loudest yell that could be heard around the world.

Kenshin ran through the door about three seconds later, but would feel like years for Tatshi. "Gaki, what's wrong?!" The blond man asked, but then saw the little chest opened and the fruit gone. "Gaki, don't tell me you ate the thing that was in there!" Kenshin said, only to get a nod 'yes' from Tatshi and his eyes went wide.

Just then Tatshi's mother came through the door to see her son look up at her holding his right eye and the other was blood red with a greenish hint in it. "Kenshin what happened?!" She yelled only a few levels lower than the loud yell itself.

"I left to tell our nakama to get ready to shove off and I was coming back to get the thing you wanted me to lock up, only to find your kid ate it." Kenshin said as he tried to hold down the kid in an unlimited amount of pain.

"Kenshin go get the eye patch laced with seastone, I'll hold him down and make sure you're fucking as fast as your bullets!" She yelled as she held down her son and pushed Kenshin toward the door.

What seemed like about thirty years for Tatshi, but only about two minutes Tatshi sat in the same chair he was only five minutes before. Only this time he had a black eye patch over his right eye and his left eye was still trying to focus. "Ouch, my whole body seems numb." He complained to see his mother looking at him with an evil glare, and shut up quickly.

"It's your own damn fault! That piece of fruit you ate was supposed to be sealed off never to see the light of day! You ate the only fruit that when ate, could have killed you!" She yelled at her son. "You're lucky I did some research on it before I actually got in possession of it! The numb feeling will go away in a few days, now you have to train twice as hard because now you have a huge handicap. You can not only swim, but you have to see with one eye! I don't want you to use the power of your right eye ever, unless there is an important need to. If you have to go through a marine army or through Enies Lobby for a nakama or a friend then only use to get that person and get out and don't use it too long." She said as she paced back and forth in the room.

"Why? What does my right eye do?" Tatshi asked his mother.

"It can make the person see their darkest fear and gives you the ability to kill them." She said as she looked at the horror on her son's face. "That's why I don't want you to use your eye."

End Flashback

Tatshi woke up as the ship came to a stop, and he never used his right eye. He stood up and went to get his chest and left the boat.

A/N: This is the first chapter hope you like it. You will learn more about Tatshi's brother and Father much later in the story. He will meet someone to join his nakama in the next chapter. And you will see what he has in that chest of his later in the story too. Just sit tight and get ready for the pirate tell of your life. Right now you may think you have an idea of Tatshi's past, but this is just the scene for his fruit power he has many dark secrets and one that will blow everyone away. Oh here's something I want everyone who reads this to know about Tatshi. He may have two swords, but he will not always use them in a fight he may just use some martial arts. Tatshi's and his nakama will meet the strew hat pirates at Lougetown or Roguetown as some may know of it. Here is where you get an idea of what Tatshi knows about his brother and father. And yes, both of them work with Monkey D. Dragon. But I can guess no one can figure out who he gets his D. from yet.
