I do not own One Piece or any of it's characters!
The idea came from LokiRavenscraft and her story Galestorm. (Witch is fantastic so you should go read it.)
The OC Kiya, however, belongs to me!
"THAT MAN!" There was a scream from the ruins of Don Kreg's ship. He pointed though the smoke. "THE MAN WHO DESTROYED OUR SHIP!"
Everyone was staring in shock, "Is he 'Hawk Eyes'?" Zoro whispered to himself. All the cooks were standing by looking perplexed. They were mumbling to each other about the normalcy of the new comer. He wore a black long-vest over his printed shirt; both hung open revealing his toned, lean frame. His black pants were loose and shoved into the tops of his boots. His black hair was cropped short and his beard and mustache were neatly trimmed.
"His weapon is on his back…He is Hawk-Eyes, the greatest swordsman in the world." The head chef told his confused crewmates.
"Why did you follow us? We don't have anything to do with you!" Another crewmate of Don Kreg yelled at the imposing man.
Hawk Eyes tipped back his hat and regarded the man, "I just want to kill some time."
"Hey, Hawk-chan!" A small girl appeared from behind Hawk Eyes. "I'm hungry. Do you think the chefs are too busy to make me a snack? I'm hungry." She flipped over his shoulder and landed in the man's lap.
"I believe that with this weakling attacking their ship they will not have time to get you anything Kiya." He told her, brushing her long black hair out of her eyes. She gave him a radiant smile.
"Weakling?" The crewman who'd spoken before yelled and fired a shot from the guns in each hand. Hawk Eyes drew his sword from his back and deflected the bullets easily.
"It won't work. No matter how many times you shoot him, he'll just deflect it." Zoro told the startled men. "I've never seen such gentle swordsmanship before…" He looked over the girl lounging in his rival's lap. Her black pants were low slung and her shirt was black and lacking sleeves and three inches off the bottom. The skin of her abdomen that was exposed looked silky soft and had a pale luster to it.
"Yeah! Hawk-chan's the best!" She gave Zoro a thumbs-up and winked one of her almond shaped green eyes at him. She pulled up one of her long legs to fix the ties on her knee-high black boots.
"You would do well not to stare so at my companion." Hawk Eyes told the other swordsman. Zoro glared fiercely at the older man. Hawk Eyes placed Kiya on the deck of their small raft and stood. He crossed to where Zoro was standing, "What do you want?"
"The ultimate power." Zoro growled as he tied his black bandana over his dark green hair. "Fight me. You're free, right?" He drew his swords with a devilish grin.
"He's Zoro the pirate hunter!" The crew of Don Kreg's ship howled in realization, seeing his three swords.
"Hawk-chan? What're you going do?" Kiya wrapped her arms around Hawk Eyes's waist from behind. She kept her eyes on Zoro while she addressed her companion. "Kid's got spirit. I can feel it. What do you say you don't kill him?" She shrugged as he looked down at her incredulously. "I like him. He's got spunk, and potential."
"Fine. I will do my best." Hawk Eyes told her. "Now go sit out of the way. With those weaklings would be best."
Kiya nodded and walked past Zoro and patted his arm, "Good luck, Pirate hunter. You're going need it." She giggled and winked at him. She darted to where Hawk Eyes had pointed. "This'll be fun to watch."
Luffy glanced at her, "Who're you?" The other two men watched her with interest but Kiya only ignored them.
"Mizuki D. Kiya. Nice to meet you what's your name?" She grinned and held out a hand. "Don't worry; I'm not going get involved with this fight. Hawk-chan hasn't had fun in a while, he needs it." She reassured the boy, Luffy nodded and shook her hand and told the strange girl his name before he turned back to the battle.
Kiya noticed something odd, "Hey Hawk-chan! Why're you using the tiny one?" Kiya called to her friend, "It's insulting when you do that you know!" Hawk Eyes's glare was more than enough to silence the small girl. They watched as Zoro made his first attack. Luffy and the two men yelled in shock when Hawk Eyes blocked it with ease. The exchange went on a little longer with Hawk Eyes knocking down the man several times. Kiya cheered on her companion while the men with her howled in anger.
"Uh-oh." Kiya mumbled suddenly. Luffy glanced at her then back just in time to see Hawk Eyes stab Zoro in the heart. "What're they saying to each other?" Kiya grumbled and looked on curiously. Suddenly her eyes widened with shock "Oh god, he's not…"
Luffy looked sharply at her as Kiya jumped up. She put one foot on the railing, ready to jump in as Hawk Eyes drew the sword from his back. The two men were screaming and Kiya couldn't look away as her friend cut his opponent. Still, Zoro stood and turned arms wide.
"SWORDSMAN!" She screamed as he slashed Zoro across his chest. Luffy and the other men were calling his name and screaming in pain for their fallen friend. Kiya looked at them sadly, "I am sorry." She jumped down and darted to Hawk Eyes's side. She raised her index finger and shoved it in Hawk Eyes's face, ready to scold her friend fiercely.
"YOU!" Kiya heard a scream from behind her. Kiya groaned inwardly and looked over her shoulder at the noise, she and Hawk Eyes side-stepped just in time to see the straw hat boy rocket past the two of them and fly into a hunk of wood that was Don Krieg's ship.
Hawk Eyes glanced at Luffy as he tried to free his head from a wooden board. He turned away. "Don't worry. That kid's still alive." Both Kiya and Luffy stopped their verbal assaults and looked at the man in shock.
Kiya looked over in shock to see the two men from before haul up the green-haired boy. "I am Dracule Mihawk. It's too soon for you to die. You have to learn more about the world, you have to become stronger Roronoa Zoro! Dare to challenge me again, boy!" Mihawk shouted to the small boat.
Kiya sighed and put a hand on her hip. The swordsman's crewmates were calling him and crying. They paused as a sword appeared from the boat, "Luffy? Can you hear me?" A weak voice drifted to them. "I'm sorry for making you worry. From now on I'll never lose to anyone ever again! Until I can beat that man, I will never lose!"
Mihawk grinned and put an arm around Kiya's shoulders, "Kiya. Watch this boy for me. Make sure he doesn't die, so he can face me again one day."
"Awww, Hawk-chan! Why?" Kiya grumbled. "I don't want babysit that green-haired weakling! Besides! Pops'll get mad if I don't come home soon!" Kiya looked franticly for a reason to stay with her friend.
"Please Kiya. I'll talk to your 'Pops'. He'll understand." Mihawk kissed her on the cheek lightly. When they separated Mihawk turned to walk away. Kiya sighed huffily and walked to Luffy.
"Oi, Luffy. Mind if I join you? Apparently I've got a boy to look after…" Kiya asked crossing her arms over her chest. Luffy grinned at his new friend and nodded.
"Go with them. We've got to get back out navigator. I bet they could use your help." Luffy turned away to face Don Krieg and Kiya jumped into the boat.
"Hey, Roronoa. What you just did was the stupidest thing I've ever seen." She growled at the man. She took the bandages and gently started to wrap the giant scar her friend left. "Geez, Hawk-chan really over did it…"
Zoro opened his mouth, but Kiya placed a hand over it. "Now don' you start talking'! It's amazing that you're not dead!" Zoro grinned at his new crewmate before he fell asleep. Kiya looked at the other three men, "Alright, who're you three and where're we going'?"
Review please. I'll update when I can.
