Enter Anew
Flames raged as and scratched away at the land viciously. The bright flickering and destructive colors of red and orange hugged the ground leaving it's black love marks of burned earth behind. They blanketed the brick building, and swept through the lush green turning it into insignificant dust. Two shadows stood admist the flames. A man standing in place with his chest slowly giving up, his heart seemingly starting to fail. He looked before him. Nothing but Death before him.
"If you're gonna do it, might as well do it right? Go ahead..." The taunting male smiled as he extended his hands out. He looked around and saw all the damage that had been done between the two of them.
"If we carry this on...who knows how long we could fight for..."
"..." No response from the being across from him.
"Either kill me now or I'll kill you..." The man told him still grinning.
"DAD!" A small voice cried out. The man turned to see a small boy running his way, "DAD!" The boy shouted again.
"Well damn...can't let my son see my die so easily.." The man smiled at his son.
"Gin!" A female's voice shouted as a woman chased after the small boy.
"And my wife..."
"STOP!" An older man appeared before them.
"Dad move!" The woman shouted.
"Grandpa! Dad needs help!" The boy cried out.
"We must leave now!" The elder man shouted.
"Genesis..." The man known as Gin whispered, "Gannon...I love you both." Gin smiled brightly then turned back to his opponent. Gin charged the shadow before him, and it quickly vanished. The figure looked over and faced the family of Gin. Blood sprayed out from Gin's body and he fell. From the shade of the engulfing flames all the boy could see was skull mask. The skull masked man sheathed his blade. Then turned his back and walked away.
"DAD!" The boy, Gannon, ran forth, but his Grandfather snatched him up.
"Gannon we must leave!" His Grandfather then took off and grabbed his daughter Genesis by the wrist as well as they ran off. Young Gannon just looked out as the flames continued to swallow everything around them. He would never forget this day, and would never forget the face in the fire.
Twelve Years Later...
"And you're sure you got everything?"
"Yes Mom, I have everything..." Was the response, a now eighteen year old Gannon gave his mother. Gannon, at eighteen years of age, currently grew to be about five feet and eleven inches in height. His hair color is the most significant trait he gained from his father, as mess laid out on his head that seems to spike in varying is drenched in a maroon color, with a single cowlick in the front. He had a big smile on his face as he could see through his crystal blue eyes that his Mom was extremely worried. He could see it in her eyes as well, as they shared the same eye color. Gannon's choice of attire currently is that of a loose fitting red tank top underneath a navy blue jacket that is left open and has the sleeves rolled up, along with a pair of black pants, and black sneakers as well.
"Oh Genesis don't be worried, I trained him to be a fine young man!" A boisterous voice proclaimed, "Just look at him!" The loud man towered over the athletically built and lean muscled Gannon as he began to lift Gannon's limbs in varying directions and even held him up dangling the young man.
"Thanks Grandpa Tenzan I think she gets it..." Gannon grimaced as he Grandfather let him down and placed his large hand on his daughter Genesis's flowing black hair, "He'll be ok, he was trained by me after all!" The man joked again.
"It's okay Dad, really. But I can't not be worried, he's my only son." Genesis smiled as she brushed her tan skinned hand through her son's hair. Gannon smiled brightly. She then brought her hand down and rested it on his cheek, "Your Father, would be so proud Gannon..." She smiled, "You're going to be great."
"Thank you Mom.." Gannon looked down slightly, then looked over at his Grandfather, "I know this isn't exactly what you wanted Grandpa, but I want to go on journeys just like he did."
"I know I know..." Tenzan sighed and played with his thick white beard before twirling his long white mustache, "Not my way of doing it, but as my Grandson whatever will make you the happiest. But because you're my Grandson you better be the damn best!" Tenzan flexed his arm in confidence.
"You got it." Gannon nodded in confirmation. He finished setting up his small boat and jumped in, "It's time to set sail!" Gannon slung his bag over his shoulder and raised his sails as he pushed off the docks. He waved to his Mom and Grandfather.
"Promise you'll write me!" His Mom called out.
"I will I promise!" Gannon then turned around and continued to smile as the sea in front of him was all his now. He looked down at the map, and readied for his adventures to begin.
Next Time: Gannon has set sail for his adventure and whatever it may be. The young traveler is more than happy to start his journey. Though on his very first stop, he witnesses something that he personally does not favor. But why does it matter? It's none of his business right so no harm no foul? Little did he know him being there was exactly where he needed to be.
Review!
Well aware this chapter isn't exactly the longest, and is rather fairly short but it feels necessary before we delve deep into the actual story. Also didn't want to over indulge right away, but anyway if you plan on sending an OC Follow the instructions please:
-Follow the Forum I'm going to leave here when sending in your OC
-All OC's are only being taken through PM's
-I do not plan on taking any OC's that are left in the Review.
-Speaking of Reviews(Please Review each chapter and let me know what you think as we embark on this journey of a story together. This isn't related to the OC's just a side note I guess.)
-I will allow for multiple OC's to be sent, as long as they are all different, unless we have talked otherwise.
-When it comes to Devil Fruit's, please check with me prior to selecting your user's Devil Fruit to make sure that somebody else didn't send one in with that same Devil Fruit ability prior to you doing so.
-Also I will also be scouting OC's to form other crews for the Supernova's, along with the Yonkou. And scouting Oc's for the Marines as well and Shichibukai.
