Chapter 1: Incident at Firs Island
Two men sat in semi-darkness, the only sound being that of heavy, pained breathing. A giant mechanical arm is attached to one of the mans left arm, and he grunts in pain as it is screwed on, his erratic breathing now more noticeable.
Gun and cannon fire now pierced the silence of the room, which showed that they were close. The same man got out an aerosal and took a deep breath, which returned his breathing to normal.
"We're getting old..." The other man said, though his voice was muffled.
"I'M getting old..." The first man corrected him as he stood up, lifting his mechanical arm with apparent ease. "It is time."
"Yes." The other man agreed as they both stood up and walked towards the battlezone for a shore.
The first man is revealed to be huge and muscular, with purple hair that spiked out erratically. His left mechanical arm was supported to his body by what seemed to be mast riggings, and he wore baggy pants and black boots with a black cape on his back that depicted what looked to be a cross between the Marines symbol and a jolly roger. Completing his look was a pair of sharp black sunglasses covering his eyes.
The second man is just as large as the other, though his hair was a dirty emerald green and spiked down across his forehead and sides. He wore an open black jacket with gold cuffs, and the same jolly roger was tattooed onto his muscular chest in crimson red, whilst he wore ripped dark brown shorts and black lace-up boots. However, his most noticable feature was the metal oxygen mask covering his mouth and nose, as two blue pipes connected it to the heavy twin metal tanks strapped to his back.
As they stepped out, men carrying weapons from swords to guns charged forward in a grand charge, and the purple haired man yelled a declaration:
"I will destroy all pirates!"
And at that, he charged at the Marines, and with a single swing of his mechanical arm, they were all sent flying like broken twigs against a mighty storm.
The green haired man instead walked out into the battlefield, as hundreds of Marines took aim at him.
"Fire!" The commander yelled, causing countless bullets to be shot at him, but they simply fell from his body uselessly. "What?"
"You cannot come close." The man stated as his muscles in his right arm tightened and his irises sharpened. "Full Crush!" Veins popped out of his right arm as he punched the ground, creating both a shockwave that sent the Marines crashing 20 metres away from where they previously were, but also a ground cracking crater that caved the ground in deeply under his fist.
He returned to his full height and unclenched his fist, hissing through his teeth in pain as he did so whilst the bones in his hand cracked. He thought of the pain as a reminder he was still alive.
"I should stay close to Zephyr." He thought aloud as he noticed the purple haired man walking toward the towering Marine Base, and began treading in his captains footsteps.
Elsewhere, a curvaceous woman with wavy indigo coloured hair wearing a captain's coat like the purple and green haired men easily cut through the marine forces with incredible agility. She was Ain, the Second-in-command.
"I have to follow Master Z and X." She stated before running off.
Nearby, Marines were both confused and dominated by the opponent they were facing, who looked like some sort of ninja with a giant shuriken on his back and large lips. The enemy clicked his fingers and danced, chanting 'Moss' repeatedly as vines grew around him, blocking the Marines gunfire. He was Binz, the assassin.
"Take this!" A bazooka wielding Marine captain shouted as he fired at the vines, creating a large smoky explosion. However, the ninja leapt out of the smoke unscathed.
"I too, shall follow Master Z and X!" He declared as he 'surfed' along the vines.
On the main bridge, Z and X effortlessly tossed Marines aside.
"Smash Blaster!" Z aimed his cannon and fired at an oncoming group, launching a shell that caused a deadly explosion. The two of them walked through the smoke to be confronted by two masked giants.
The first giant threw his club down towards Z, but he blocked it with his mecha arm before throwing him off and pulling it back.
"Smash Buster!" He punched the giant in the stomach, the arm glowing before firing a blast straight into the giant, making him fly back and crash into the ground.
The second giant raised its axe and swung at X, yet even with the power behind it, X reached out and caught it mid swing.
"Rrrrrggghhh..." He growled as his arm bulked up further, his eyes seemed to glow golden with a frenzied rage. "Full Slice!" His arm seemed to glow red with heat as he pulled it back and chopped the giant in the side, launching him away into the ground with a giant crash. He then grunted with great pain as the bones in his arms fixed back into place.
The woman saw the twin explosions up on the bridge and turned to the ninja. "Binz!" He looked at her, then up at the bridge.

Z walked through the base, with X following behind him as Ain, Binz, and the rest of the crew, the Neo Marines, stormed ahead to take out any remaining Marines. Once all were face-down on the ground, they nodded to Z in approval.
He walked up to a towering steel door with the Marines traditional sign on the front of it.
"Stand back, all of you." Z stated, his men compkying and backing far away.
Using his enforced right arm, he punched the door as if it was paper, blasting it off its hinges and revealing a darkened room full of canisters.
Stepping inside, Z pulled out a canister, the object giving a hiss as it was released, revealing what looked like a pink egg with red markings floating in some king of purple liquid.
Z gave a hint of a smile. "This is it, men. The Dyna Stone."

Outside, beams of light began piercing through Z's ships one by one. Admiral Kizaru, or rather Borsalino, was destroying the fleet.
"All of you get to the ships!" Z ordered as he turned to X. "Xenak, I'm going to hold him off, make sure everybody gets out of here!"
"You think I'll just leave you behind!?" He questioned.
"Stubborn whelp!" Z muttered.
X sniffed and turned. "You'd better not die."
"Not yet." He confirmed as X started commanding the men.
"Retreat! Fall back!" Binz yelled as the men piled into the ships and started their escapes.
As X, Ain and Binz's ship started retreating, Ain looked back at the battlefield. "Master Z..."
"Zephyr..." X mumbled.
Back at the warzone, a burst of light appeared in front of Z, which became Kizaru. "Well, well, long time no see, eh, Master? What brings you all the way here?"
Z grinned. "Borsalino. I thought I told you not to be too dependant on your Pika Pika no Mi abilities."
"You're still as hard as ever..." Kizaru created his Ama no Murakumo, a sword of pure light. "Master Zephyr."
Z snorted. "I abondoned that name long ago. My name...is Z!"
Mechanical arm and sword of light clashed, both combatants bursting with pure power as they fought with equal determination.
"Don't you think your being a bit too sure of yourself?" Z asked. "Going around carrying the title 'Admiral Kizaru' of the Marines."
"I'm not here to remember the good old days." Kizaru stated as he fired several beams of light at Z, which he blocked with his giant arm. He suddenly fell to his knees in a coughing fit, and hastily took out his aerosal and breathed from it again, restoring his strength just in time to block a sword swing. "You won't be able to match my speed with such a heavy weapon. So tell me, what do you want the Dyna Stones for, hmmm?"
"Since days long past, I never got along with you, Borsalino!" He threw a heavy punch, but Kizaru simply disappeared and reappeared behind him.
"Just return the Dyna Stones and we'll all go home happy." Kizaru said.
"Not likely." Z argued. "They say that the Dyna Stones rival the power of the Ancient Weapons themselves. How about we use one to celebrate our little reunion, shall we!?"
He suddenly jumped back and grabbed a Dyna Stone containing cylinder, which put a look of horror on Kizaru's usually relaxed face.
"The Dyna Stones create a massive explosion when exposed to oxygen." Z threatened.
"Oh no!" Kizaru gasped.
"Here we go!" Z crushed the cylinder in his iron grip, and as Kizaru dashed upwards to try and avoid it, Z fired rhe deadly egg stone straight at the Admiral, his eyes widening as the stone glowed purple.
And in an instant, Firs Island was gone in a gigantic explosion, completely annihilated. And everybody aboard Z's ships could see it.
"MASTER ZEEEEEEEEEEED!" Ain cried in horror as the islands volcanoe erupted, shooting torrents of magma into the sky. She leaned on the railing, trying to steady herself at what she had just seen, and what could have just happened. She then felt a large yet kind hand on her shoulder, and she looked up to see X.
"Don't cry, Ain." He told her. "Z won't die from this, he's far too stubborn."
"X..." She sniffed.
X held up a piece of paper, a Vivre Card, and looked at it. It had burned down to a smaller piece, yes, but it had not yet disappeared.
"We shall rescue him as soon as possible. I promise." He turned and walked into the hall of the ship.
'Thanks for keeping to your word.' He thought.
