Recruitment Arc!
Koujiro D. Shisui;
Contender to the title of Pirate King?
West Blue
A small boat floats in the water, caught in a gentle breeze. The ship is small and only contains a single passenger. The figure has the appearance a samurai swordsman with long black hair tied into a ponytail with two bangs framing his face. He wears a black hooded cloak while underneath he wears a traditional gray umanori hakama and kimono, slightly open to expose his chest, with intricate black designs. He also wears white Tabi and steel Geta with a black Haori and Tekkou. He seems to be relaxing in the sun. Suddenly a sigh escapes his lips.
"This is boring," says the figure as the ocean crashes against his boat, "but… is suppose all journeys start out that way." The figure opens his eyes to show red orbs. A smirk makes his way to his lips as he lifts his hand into the air before forming a fist.
"The first step to fulfilling my dream." Says the teen with a smirk. The wind becomes stronger, pushing his small boat forward. The waves crash against his small boat, making the figure rise from his position. The figure is around 6'6 in height and possesses a lean build that hides his strength. As he rises, he spots a Marine Transport, judging by the number of ships. The figure narrows his eyes and forms a stoic expression. The figure lifts a nodachi and stands up in his boat.
"Hmm," says the teen as he flicks his sword open a little, "I should greet the World Government." His ship sails directly towards the navy ship. The blade gleams in the sun.
The nodachi is long, around 150 cm with a black scabbard. The scabbard is made of traditional lacquered wood, and features several metallic ornaments on its far end. It has a gold oval guard and the tsuka-ito seems to be braided from white and dark blue material. The blade features several intricate ornaments, most notable is a relief of a dragon at the endpoint of the hilt and it metallic silver blade.
Navy Ship
The ship appears to be filled with marines all wearing the same uniform. They all drink and smile while a shadowed figure sits on her knees in front of them. The figure is a slender, curvaceous young woman with reddish-brown eyes and dark blue hair framing her face, which is held back with a hairpiece. Her torn outfit consists of high heels, black leggings, and a brown top and skirt. The girl has a serious expression on her face.
"You traitors." States the girl as she watches the men laugh and drink.
"Oh look at that," laughs one marines with his friend joining in, "a witch is calling us traitors!" The marines laugh harder at the jab. The girl narrows her eyes at the name she was given by these men who disgrace the name of Marines.
"To think that a witch like her has such a hot body like that." Says a fat marines while laughing.
"Well we should be well rewarded when we bring her to Vice Admiral Bradley." Says a deep voice making the girl look up with narrowed eyes. A large man with a scarred face walks up to the girl. The man has a beard and black hair. The man smokes a cigar and takes a puff before purposely blowing the smoke in the girl's eyes. The girl does not react to the action, making the man scoff.
"Those things will kill you," says the girl as she glares at the man, "Commodore Gregor." Gregor smirks and leans down to her level.
"Worried for my health?" Asks Gregor while looking down the girl's cleavage.
"No… I just want to kill you before that poison can." Smirks the girl. Gregor growls and grabs the girls face.
"You, kill me?" States Gregor before laughing with the marines joining in.
"We marines," says Gregor, gesturing to his fellow marines, "are part of G-9 the 80th Branch and no matter the criminal, we'll always bring them to justice."
"Is that so?" Asks the girl with her hair shadowing her eyes. Justice? These men don't believe in justice.
"You disgrace the World Government with your lies, scum." States the girl with narrowed eyes. Gregor snaps his cigar in his fingers and grinds his teeth.
"You seem to know too much." States Gregor before smirking.
"The Vice Admiral, will decide your fate." Says Gregor, making the girl spit at his name.
"All this talk of justice has made me thirsty!" Cheers a marine with a smile while lifting his mug.
"You bastards." Says the girl as she is thrown down.
"Just sit tight, you can take up your plea with Bradley." Laughs Gregor. The girl glares at the marines before putting her head down.
"Forgive me sensei, I've failed you." Thinks the girl.
Deck
Several marines patrol the area before one man sighs and leans against the railing. As he does he looks up at the sky. He gets a lecherous grin on his face before he looks to his left and sees a small boat.
"What the?" Asks the marine as he investigates the boat. Behind him stands the teen from the boat with his sword in his left hand and his hood up. The teen looks around and hums.
"Tell me, marine." Says the teen as he glances back at the marine while talking in a quiet and composed tone, "What kind of Navy Ship is this?" The marine turns with haste and prepares to blow the teens head off with his rifle. However as he turns, his eyes widen when he sees no sign of the teen. He then coughs up a bile and looks down to see the teen's sword hilt, in his gut. The marine sails back and hits the railing of the ship before sinking to the floor.
"Ow! Dammit!" Shouts the marine as he squirms on the deck. The teen stops his squirming by stomping on the marine. The teens eyes narrow and he flicks his sword to slightly unsheathe it. The marine pales and starts to sweat.
"I-It's a Battle Ship." Stutters the marine. The teen hums in thought before he smirks. He looks at the ships and smiles at his luck. He then turns his attention back to the marine.
"I see." Says the teen before lifting his leg, bringing the marine upward in the air. He then spins and kicks the marine in the mid-section, making the man cough up spit before sailing into the ocean. The teen turns and begins to walk over the deck.
"One could think that I am truly lucky." States the teen with an amused smirk and tone. His eyes close as he smirks before he is surrounded by several marines.
"Don't move, pirate scum." Says a marine. The teens eyes open and he scans the marines.
"Hmm, 1.5 seconds." Mutters the teen, making the marines form confused expressions.
"Huh?" States a marine before the teen unsheathes his sword in a flash before swinging at high speeds. He then stands straight up and flicks his sword before sheathing it.
"W-What just happened?" Stutters a marine as the teen walks forward. The marines are unable to move and pale.
"W-Who do you think you are, bastard!?" Shouts a marine while shaking. The teen stops walking.
"Ah that's right," says the teen as he looks up at the sky, "I never did give you guys my name." The teen glances to the marines with narrowed eyes.
"My name is Koujiro D. Shisui," says the teen with narrowed eyes, "and I hate the Navy." The marines all spurt blood from various parts of their body.
"I-Impossible." Says a marine as he slowly falls.
"A-All of us… in an instant?" Thinks the marine as his vision turns dark. The marines fall face first on the deck as Shisui walks over their bodies.
"Hmm, I should have asked them which way it is to the prison cells." Says Shisui as he pushes open a steel door. He hums and walks down the stairs before he finds himself at a barred door with two marines. They all stare at each other for a time before the marines raise their guns while shaking.
"W-W-Who are you!?" Asks the marine on the left.
"And how did you get down here?" Asks the marine on the right.
"Please, be quiet." Responds Shisui before slightly unsheathing his sword and appearing in-between the two. Shisui is already sheathing his sword while the marines are trying to register his new position. The sword clicks as it sheathes and is if it was a signal, the marines fall to the ground.
In the jail cells sit a bunch of pirates who look to have seen better days. They appear weak and hungry. They all have bruises on their faces and bodies. The blank look in their eyes, tell that they've accepted their fates. The door creaks open, drawing the attention of the pirates.
"W-Who is that?" Asks one pirate.
"Another marine?" Suggest another. Shisui walks forward and looks at the prisoners with calculating eyes. His stoic expression remains on his face before he stops walking.
"So hungry!" Whines one pirate. Shisui looks around and counts about 400 hundred pirates.
"Listen up." States Shisui in a stoic but composed tone, making the pirates look to him, "Might controls everything - and without strength, you cannot protect anything; let alone yourself."
"Huh?" Asks the pirates.
"I'm asking you all… do you desire wealth, power, and the world to know your name?" Asks Shisui as he turns and heads for the door. The pirates look at each other before one stands with a smirk.
"That's an easy answer." Says the pirate.
"However, it's harder to achieve what you are asking." Says another pirate.
"Still… we desire what all men desire." Says another pirate with some females clearing their throats, "And females." Adds the pirate.
"We desire all that we can gain in our lifetime and to have our names etched into the history records!" Shout the pirates. Shisui glances back at them with shadowed eyes and a smirk.
"Then what are you waiting for?" Asks Shisui before the jail bars and cut to pieces, "Follow the man who will become King of the Pirates." With his deed done, Shisui walks out of the room while the pirates' chuckle.
"Well shit, we've got nothing better to do." Says one pirate as he walks with a group.
"What the hell, I'll give him a shot." Says another pirate and soon they all start following their mysterious savior.
"Now to take this ship." Thinks Shisui.
"Does anyone know where this transport is going?" Asks Shisui as he walks down the hall. The pirates take the weapons of beaten marines before catching up to their new captain.
"Don't know exactly but I overheard one marine saying they will be reaching an island soon to restock on food and ammo." Says one pirate.
"Why?" Asks another pirate.
"Because," says Shisui as he continues walking without looking back, "We're going destroy this transport." The pirates look at him with gaping mouths and bulging eyes.
"Eh!" Shout the pirates. Suddenly the alarm sounds and the marines take action.
"Here they come." Smiles one pirate.
"Yeah, time for some payback." Says another as the sun reflects off their eyes, making them glow red. Shisui stands in the middle of his new crew, making them all look like demons who have escaped from hell itself.
"You got that right." Says Shisui as he flicks his sword out.
Main Hall
The alarms sounds, making the marines look around. Gregor stands and narrows his eyes while the girl looks up. Suddenly the hall doors open up as a marine pants with a pale face.
"What's going on?" Demands Gregor with narrowed eyes.
"T-The prisoners, they're out!" Shouts the marine as Gregor stares at him before breaking out in a sweat.
"What!?" Shouts Gregor with bulging eyes. The girl looks up and hears the gun fire and explosions.
"Call for backup!" Shouts Gregor before the marine shakes his head.
"They've taken all the rooms with the Den Den Mushi." Says the marine as the fighting gets louder. Gregor grinds his teeth together before smirking.
"Very well, then mobilize the entire ship," says Gregor as he walks forward, "If they want a fight… then I'll give them one." Gregor slams his foot down as he has a pole-arm resting on his shoulder.
Shisui knocks out one marine with a kick before blocking a sword with his sheathe. He then spins his sheathe in his hands before lashing out with a kick, that sends the marine through a wall. He turns to see more marines coming before the pirates step in front of him.
"Fire!" Shouts a pirate as they fire into the marines, dropping them one after another. The marines fire back and the pirates take cover in the corridors. Shisui narrows his eyes and takes calm steps forward, surprising the pirates and marines.
"Oi, look out!" Shouts one pirate in alarm.
"What is he doing?" Asks another pirate as the marine's fire. The pirates widen their eyes when the bullets hit. However the pirates and the marines gape when Shisui still walks forward. If one would look closely, they would see small black wisp of smoke, where the bullets hit.
"W-What?!" Shouts the marines. Shisui inhales before dropping into a stance with his right hand on the hilt of his sword.
"What is he doing?" Asks a marine.
"Idiot, what can he do from that far away?" States another. The marine's growl before pointing their guns at him.
"Fire!" Shouts a marine as they all fire.
"Look out!" Shout the pirates. As the bullets close in, Shisui unsheathes his sword in a flash before sheathing it just as quickly. The whole thing is impossible to see to the naked eye. The bullets in the air are suddenly cut to pieces. The pirate's eyes bulge out of their sockets.
"Eh?!" Exclaim the pirates with comical expressions.
"Imposs… ible." Says a marine with wide eyes and a pale face.
"There is nothing which I cannot cut." States Shisui simply as he walks forward.
"Damn monster." Says a marine as he lifts his rifle. The other marines join in but the floor below them is suddenly riddled with slash marks while the guns in their hands fall apart.
"W-What is this?" Asks a marine before blood spurts from their wounds and they fall to the ground. However, that is not all, the floor seems to crack under some unseen force, in fact; gravity seems to have increased. The marine that gave the orders widens his eyes.
"My body… won't move." Says the marine
"I severed your nerves without cutting your clothes or flesh." Says Shisui as he walks by the marine.
"Unfortunately for you, the pirates that I've freed have a bone to pick with you." States Shisui as his cloak flaps over the marine.
"Y-You bastard." Growls the marine before he turns to see the faces of the pirates he had tortured.
"Oh how the tables have turned." Says one pirate with a sword.
"It wasn't too long ago that we were under your mercy." Says another with a rifle.
"We have so much to talk about… marine." Says another pirate with two large swords. The marine screams out as the pirates attack him. Shisui continues down the hall before seeing a large double doors with a squad of marines standing in front.
"Do not waver!" Orders a marine as they get their weapons ready. Shisui inhales before walking forward. He takes slow steps before dashing towards them. The marines with guns fire, but their bullets do nothing as Shisui still rushes forward. With bullets ineffective, the marines charge forward with their swords out.
"Foolish." States States as draws his sword. He seemingly glides through the marines while cutting one man and flashing to the next, cutting him and doing the same thing. He appears to teleport due to his speed with the marines unable to react in time. He appears with his back turned before tossing his scabbard into a marine. The scabbard is thrown with such force that is goes right through the marine and into another. Even while the scabbard is sailing through the air, the teen keeps moving, cutting down the marines before tossing his sword. His sword sails in a circle around him before he catches the sword in a reverse grip and sheathes it in his scabbard, which is still stuck into the gut of a marine. He pulls the scabbard out and the marines all face plant on the ground.
"Humph." Scoffs Shisui while sweeping a hand through his hair. With that done, Shisui turns and places his right hand on the left side of the door. He narrows his eyes and quickly slashes the door in front of him. The gravitational force, hits the door, making it creak and cave in. The left side of the door breaks off and slams into a marine in the Main Hall.
"Open Fire!" Shouts Gregor as the gathered marines unload on the entrance. They bombard the entrance to the room with Gregor smiling. The girl looks on with narrowed eyes as she struggles in her cuffs. One marine takes a knee and fires an arm mounted Bazooka. The explosion shakes the floor as the marines continue to fire.
"Hold your fire." Says Gregor only for the men to continue to fire.
"Hold you fire!" Says Gregor a bit louder but the men still fire.
"I said hold your fucking fire!" Shouts Gregor, making the men stop. Gregor sighs before laughing.
"Ha, that was too easy." Says Gregor with a loud laugh. He then turns to the girl who glares at him.
"Ha, that'll teach that filthy pirate not to mess with G-9." Says a marine.
"Yeah, I was hoping for a challenge." Laughs another pirate as the fire flickers around the entrance of the room. Unknown to the marines, Shisui walks out of the fire, looking like a demon from hell. He is unharmed by the fire. His body is made of a black smoke like substance before returning to normal. His cloak is gone, exposing his features.
"Funny." States Shisui, making the marines pale and turn to him, "I was thinking the exact same thing."
"So, lets spice things up a bit." Says Shisui before gripping his sword.
"Jigoku Tabi (Hell Journey)." Says Shisui. Shisui slices through the large group of enemies over a wide area, then as he sheathes his sword it causes a powerful downward force of gravity sending them down to the floor. Gregor looks on with narrowed eyes before he widens his eyes as his body slams to the ground. The attack is so powerful, it sinks in the floorboards and breaks the bones of the marines. Shisui walks over the bodies of the fallen marines, completely unfazed by the increase in gravity. Then the gravity lets up, but no marine stands. Gregor grits his teeth as blood runs down his mouth. The normal use of this attack would send his victims into a large crater but Shisui had lowered the power as he wants the ship intact.
"Oi, you in here?" Asks a pirate before he spots Shisui.
"There you are." Says another pirate as they flood the room. Suddenly they stop when they see the girl. Another pirate walks in, this one being big.
"Alright guys we should-." Starts the pirate before he spots the girl.
"There is a cutie right there!" Shouts the pirate as his nose spurts blood.
"Oh! She is really cute." Says a group of pirates. Suddenly they stop and look at her, noticing her glare.
"Hey, look." Says one pirate.
"Her appearance." Says one pirate.
"She's definitely not a pirate." Finishes another pirate.
"She looks like a-." Starts a pirate.
"A Marine!" Shouts the large man with blood running down his nose. The girl still glares at the pirates while trying to get out of her cuffs.
"But… she's so cute!" Exclaim all the pirates with Shisui shakes his head while sighing. The girl looks at them with her eyes wide in surprise before blushing.
"So sexy." Shouts a pirate while Gregor grows tick marks on his head while his eyes are shadowed.
"You, woman." States Shisui, making the girl turn to him, "Why is a marine prisoner to other marines?"
"There is no one left who is truly a marine." States the girl with a serious tone. Shisui's eyes drill into her but the girl maintains eye contact.
"You have no place." States Shisui, already knowing the answer. The girl averts her gaze and puts her head down, "Then, come with me." The girl widens her eyes and looks to Shisui who extends his hand in an inviting manner. His hair blows to the right, making him look serene.
"Yeah!" Shout the pirates with hearts in their eyes.
"Hell yeah!" Shouts a big pirate. The girl seems to look at them in surprise.
"M-Me… join your crew?" Says the girl in surprise. Her eyes then narrow as if offended.
"Do not take me for a fool, pirate." Growls the girl while Shisui remains stoic at her tone, "I am a Marine and I will not become a pirate for anyone."
"Not even for yourself?" Questions Shisui with a stoic but composed tone, "You have no place in this world and yet I offer you one now." The girl widens her eyes at the statement and remembers the words of the man she admired.
"There will come a time when I will leave this world for the one beyond. Yet do not despair. A day will come when you will find a purpose and begin your own adventure. Vice Admiral Ain! These are the final orders of Z! Live! Live and uphold your morals, your way!" The haunting words of Z, makes Ain form tears in her eyes but she holds her crying in.
"Don't cry." States Shisui with an uncomfortable expression as he still extends his hand. Ain raises her hand and grasps Shisui's. The moment she does, the pirates cheer loudly.
"You've let your guard down, pirate scum!" Shouts Gregor as he swings down his axe-pole. The attack picks up dust and uproots the floor boards. The girl has her eyes closed before she opens them and looks up. She gasps when she sees Shisui, blocking the weapon with his sheathed sword.
"Pathetic." States Shisui as Gregor growls. Shisui's eyes glance to Gregor and narrow.
"You have no idea what that thing is capable of," says Gregor with hate, "she took down a lot of my men before we were able to bring her down."
"Isn't that right, Witch?" Asks Gregor, making the girl narrow her eyes.
"Is that right?" Asks Shisui with a smirk, "Shockingly, I find myself… not caring." Shisui's tone turns cold, making Gregor flinch.
"Tch, then die!" Shouts Gregor before in a quick motion, Shisui disarms him. Shisui then turns his back to Gregor and draws his sword in a flash. He swings quickly before flicking his sword. Gregor remains still before Shisui sheathes his sword and he falls to the ground.
"Hey… what's your name?" Asks Shisui with a small smile on his lips.
"Ain." Responds the former marine.
"Well Ain." says Shisui as he turns to her, "My name is Koujiro D. Shisui and I'm going to be King of the Pirates." Ain stares at the teen in amazement before her cuffs are cut apart.
"King of the Pirates." Repeats Ain with shock. That is no easy dream to achieve.
"Let's go, you guys." States Shisui, getting a chorus of cheers.
"Understood… Captain." Say the pirates with smirks. Ain stands and looks to Shisui before looking to her marine coat. After a while, she tosses the coat aside and follows Shisui.
Hey guys this is Chapter 1 of the Rewrite.
So this story will feature an OC… of course! Shisui has just started on his journey in West Blue. He has taken a Navy Battleship and freed the prisoners. These prisoners are the start of his crew.
Shisui will possess Shodai Kitetsu which will be names Yamato. The sword looks very much like Yamato from DMC, except it will be a Nodachi. The sword will have the ability of Issho. I know it says that Issho has a Devil Fruit but not in my story.
I'm sure you guys know Shisui's Devil Fruit and if not, it will be revealed in the next chapter.
I know Ain is supposed to be with Z but she's isn't in this story. I figured since Z is not canon, it won't impact the story so much.
G-9, you guys know that there is no such thing in One Piece but in my story it is. There is a reason.
So here is the crew I've thought up. Not the Rewrite!
