That story is about the villain I created for an RP that was aborted.

English is my second language and I didn't have this text Beta-ed. Please be merciful on my grammar.

This story happen in the past when Mihawk just became a Shichibukai. Since we don't know when it happen, I choose around ten year after Gol D. Roger was executed. So, Mihawk was almost thirty.

One Piece

Lloyd the pirate

The cruise boat Firmament was sailing peacefully in the water of West Blue. The passengers aboard enjoyed their time as the gigantic boat was drifting among the blue waves. There was also a big crew of Marines inside since the boat was carrying a valuable freight. It was kept secret from the passengers since if anyone else than the Marine knew about it, then they could all be in danger. The guard was tight and no one except the officer was admit near the vault.

A man aged around thirty was walking in the lowest corridor of the boat, heading for the vault while he was humming to himself with his hand in his back. He had dark brown hair that was combed smoothly around his face and tied by a low ponytail. His sly green eyes were making you uneasy whenever they encroached in yours. His boot were hitting the floor with a cadenced rhythm and his rapier was tilting on his belt.

As he arrived next to the vault, the two soldiers that were standing guard pointed their weapon toward him. He pulled his hands out of his officer coat and lifted them while he made a smile:

- Lieutenant Lloyd, what are you doing here?

- Just following colonel Heckerman order to check out if everything is alright down here.

- As you can see, we are doing fine.

Said the second Marine while he sheathed back his sword.

- Yeah, I see. Security is so focused at all the other place on the boat that something could happen right here and nobody will know. By the way, you should never lower your guard.

Before they could even react, he drew his rapier and stabbed the first Marine heart. Then, he turned on himself and slashed on the hand that was about to pull a sword. With another swift movement, he aimed for the neck of the guard and the second one crumbled. He sheathed his sword after making it do a graceful rotation.

He stood in front of the vault with a greedy look. It needed two keys to be open. He talked to himself while pulling those keys from his coat: «First, the captain. The guy is so distracted that it was in fact easier to snatch it than I thought. Then, colonel Heckerman. Well, that was a little more problematic…» He said while he looked at the bloodstained key. He inserted them in their respective holes and opened the massive steel door.

He entered the vault and spotted right away what he was looking for. In the middle of the room, there was two stands with a glass box over it. The first one was the length of a coffin and large like two men while the second one held something around the size of a fist. He went to the second one and smash it with the tilt of his rapier. While he was picking the content, a voice coming from the door suspended his move:

- I finally found you, Lloyd.

The lieutenant turned around to face a young woman that was clinching a katana. Taller than he was, her short black hair were hanging in front of her blue eyes with a pigtail tied on the left. He answered her with a deep sarcasm.

- How did you get in here? It's a restricted area you know… Oh, right. I killed the guards. (Sinister chuckle.) And who might you be?

- Heather, Heather Ashman. Hope you didn't forget the man that you murdered ten years ago.

- Well, he did say he had a family… While begging for his life and crying like a kid. Humph! That's just how worthless a Gold Roger crew members was.

- Whose the worthless thrash who then hide behind the Marine. You were so scared that you got yourself engaged in the Marine just so you could be sent at the other side of the ocean.

- I was not crazy enough to face the ire of the Pirate King or of Rayleigh. But now, I'll be the one to become Pirate king! With the help of those little goodbye gifts from the Marine, of course.

He pulled up what was lying in the small box and the odd shaped apple filled with spiral couldn't be mistaken.

- A Devil Fruit!

Then, Heather looked at the glass box that has the length of a coffin. Inside, there was a sword the size of a man with a black edge. That cross shaped handle was as legendary than the fruit the lieutenant was holding.

- And that's… The ocean strongest sword, Yoru!

Lloyd held the fruit in the air before swallowing it. Heather rushed forward so she could stop him, but it was already too late as he gulped it: «It taste worse than I though. Or maybe it's just the taste of absolute power. Now, let's see what kind of ability I gained.» Heather broke the glass that was protecting Yoru with her katana. She tried to pick the 7 feet sword, but Lloyd swung his right arm and used his new ability.

A chest filled with gold coin flew right at Heather and smashed on her. Lloyd did another move with his right hand and a weapon rack was flipped toward her. She repelled all of the weapon ejected at her with her katana. Then, Lloyd thrust his left hand toward her and all the items in the room were pushed forward. They hit her and that's what pushed her again the wall. His ability couldn't be used again living being, that's what he knew for now. He tried to lift himself, but he couldn't do that either.

Heather hardly managed to rise up and she saw Lloyd grabbing the legendary sword. She didn't stand a chance in front of that man that had now monstrous powers. She run toward the exit and squeezed through before Lloyd close the vault door with his ability. He let her run away, he couldn't care less about that runt. He lifted the world strongest sword, felt how heavy it was and admired his magnificence.

He slashed it from up to down and he cut the room in half. He started to laugh dementedly and soon some water started to spill from the cut on the ground. Lloyd laughed even more, but when the water touched is feet, he started to feel weak. So it was true… He couldn't swim anymore. Water started to quickly fill the hermetically closed room and he ended up with water up to his knee. He climbed on the stand where Yoru was and made a pushing motion toward the vault door. It got ripped out and was thrown through the corridor with water flooding the basement of the ship.

Lloyd climbed on the heavy door made from 30 centimetre of steel. He made another huge slash on the ground so that even more water could flood the ship before putting the sword in his back. He stretched his arms at both side of his body and then he clinched his first. The vault door started to raise into the air. He glided forward while the boat was starting to shake and sink. He proceed to the other side of the corridor and slashed the wall in front of him with Yoru. He went outside and then he lifted himself on the upper deck.

People were running, trying to save their life and forgetting about those of the others. The Marine tried to calm everyone and make them escape safely, while the officers cleared a private boat for themselves with the edge of their weapon. No more trace of civilize humanity, as father and son turned on each other throat. Perfect chaos… and Lloyd was utterly delighted. He stood upside them all and they finally realized his presence. He grinned and said loud enough for everyone to hear him.

« I am Lloyd, future Pirate King! I'm the one who made this ship sink. May everyone know it. I will set aflame this ocean and I'm looking for people ready to follow me. I will only accept the strongest. And so you know how serious I am, dear ancient comrades, I will destroy West Blue Marine's headquarter in one month before heading for the Grand Line!»

Then, he made the vault door he used as a platform for his speech crash on the deck. The passengers was fleeing from him, some even jumped in the sea, and Lloyd walked around without any worries. Holding Yoru on his right shoulder, he went toward the Marines that raised their guns and kept them pointed toward him. Lloyd lifted his left arm and moved it to his side. The Marines guns got rip right off their arm and felt in the ocean.

Lloyd closed in instantly and slashed the unarmed men. He heard a cannon shot coming from his back and he turned around while thrusting his left arm. The cannon ball stopped instantly near him and felt back on the ground. Lloyd started to laugh hysterically while swinging Yoru toward the cannon. A huge shockwave spread through the ship deck and made the cannon explode. He continued to eliminate any opposition while everyone managed to escape the ship.

Lloyd thought he was the only one left aboard, but he was wrong. Another man couldn't forgive what he had done to his ship. The captain walked toward him, his eyes filled with a poisonous anger. He asked him with a cold voice where a deep hatred could be felt: «Are you also the one who murdered colonel Heckerman?» Lloyd answered him with a carefree smile that rose the captain anger even more: «What do you think?» The captain screamed of rage and pulled a chain. At the end of it, there was a heavy anchor. He held the anchor in his right hand a pulled another one in his left hand.

He was holding the two anchors that was has tall as him and let's mention that the captain was a huge man. Lloyd wasn't intimidated by this and simply swung his left hand toward one of the anchor. It got ripped out of the captain and start to flew. However, it was still bind by is chain. The captain grabbed the chain and made the anchor crash toward Lloyd. He evaded it easily while the heavy steel weapon made a cloud of dust rose.

Lloyd couldn't see what was happening, but he could heard the sound of the chain and he knew that another anchor was thrown at him. He swung his left arm once again, but it didn't change anything. The anchor kept going on and it hit him directly. Lloyd flew in the air and crashed a couple of meters back. He didn't suffer any serious injury, but it felt painful to stand.

He finally understand was his ability truly was. It was the power of motion. He could gave an item a momentum or made it stop, but he couldn't transfer the momentum an item gained. He also knew that he couldn't affect living being. As he was now truly understanding his ability, he started to grasp what he could achieve with it.

The captain didn't let him think more that that and he wiped an anchor in a sideway motion. Lloyd smiled as he threw Yoru into the air before saying : «Ito-Ito no… (move-move) Refrain.»

(It is said in French and note that most of Lloyd attack are related to music.)

He thrust his left arm and made the anchor stop in midair. Then, with his right hand, he did like if he grabbed the anchor and he swing it back to his owner. While the captain was busy dodging it, Lloyd jumped on Yoru while he unsheathed his rapier. He used Yoru as a platform to quickly push himself toward the captain.

He couldn't stop him as he stabbed his rapier through his shoulder while kicking Yoru upward into a spinning motion. The captain grunted with a painful face and felt on his knee. He raised back his face and saw Lloyd lifting Yoru above his head. The captain closed his eyes as Lloyd brought down the black-edge sword.

The captain felt down on the floor while Lloyd laughed like a dement man. Then, he removed his officer coat and crouched on the corpse. He putted his fingers in the blood and wrote in the back of his coat, above the signs for "justice", the word :"NO MORE". While he putted back his coat on his back, the boat shook violently and started to tilt dangerously.

«It's about time that I take my leave.» He threw some wood into the sea and with his ability he made a raft. Before leaving, he went to the navigation room. There, he found an "eternal Log Pose" for all the big island of West Blue. After taking those valuable item, he was ready to leave. He slowly dropped on his raft while standing on Yoru and gave his ship a forward motion, making him able to navigate without a sail.

With his arm crossed, Yoru in his back and his green eyes looking at the Firmament sinking, Lloyd was ready to face everything.

At the West Blue Marine's headquarter, all communication with the cruise boat was lost and panic started to rose as they knew of is valuable freight. People were running around, screaming ant trying to establish contact with their Den Den Mushi. Only one Marine stayed calm and collected as he was drinking his coffee in a big mug.

The admiral that was in charge of the headquarter putted back the mug on his table before slowly standing up. He stayed a moment like that with his Zen smile, before slamming his hands on the table that broke as he screamed in total anger: «Silence!» They all stopped right away and stayed frost.

The admiral sat back on his chair, no more sign of wrath on his face, and picked up his mug that has almost emptied on a bunch of paper and sipped what remained. No one dared to move as they looked at their worriless leader. Finally, is second in-command went to his side and tried to explain the situation:

- Admiral sir, you know that the Firmament was carrying a devil fruit and the legendary black sword. We would be in grave danger if pirates managed to put their hand on those! We need to…

- That won't be necessary. There is no need to stress.

- But, admiral Lindrof…

- You think I didn't put up a backup plan? Don't worry, everything will turn out just fine… And now, please bring me more coffee.

He gave the mug to his subordinate as his face stayed perfectly calm.

Out in the water of West Blue, a coffin-shaped raft was sailing peacefully. Aboard, a man wearing black and red ornate clothing was sitting with his legs crossed. Under his black hat with a large feather, his severe yellow eyes was scanning the sea.

Hope you like it until now. It's very fun to write.

I'll keep working on that story in my free time (read: Will I'm not writing my other Fanfics) and don't expect fast updating. I should come with smaller chapters so I could update from time to time. However, the more review I'll have, the more I'll write.

I'll be accepting OC for Lloyd crew or as ennemies, so sent them by review or PM.

However, know that they will probably die as Lloyd can't keep a crew for more then two weeks. You'll come to understand why.

If I really like them, they might be lucky, so please be original!
