Me: YATTA! My first One Piece fic! I'm so happy and excited!

Zoro: Aren't they the same thing?

Me: Shut up! (Points nucuer warhead at him) Sword boy meet Flower, my nuke! Make another wise-guy comment and you go BOOM!

Zoro: Whatever

Me: Do the disclaimer before you go BOOM!

Zoro: Fine (Takes out notecards and reads from them) Fire Thief doesn't own One Piece, just the characters and the plot. If she did, it'd be hell on Earth and she wouldn't let 4kids take over the show.

Me: They're evil! They took Sanji's cigarette away, changed the booze ta juice, made Ussop sound like a leprechaun on pot, and changed Zoro to Zolo!

Zoro: They did what to my name?! (Gets out swords) They're goin' down.

Me: Yay murder!

"Blah" equals talking "Blah" is thinking "BLAH" is shouting "Blah" emphasis's a word (There's a difference! The shouting one is all capitals!)

The Death Angel Pirates

Chapter One: The Boy with the Sword

It was a quiet and ca…

"YOU BRAT! GIMME BACK THE SWORD THAT YOU STOLE!" well…there goes the silence. A small boy about eleven years old with long black hair, brown eyes, and tan skin was running away from an old fat bald man. The boy was holding on to a sword for dear life. He turned around, stuck out his tongue and said,

"Nya nya! Can't catch me ya old gee…OUMF!" He didn't have a chance to finish before someone tackled him.

"Aw geez Serenity! Did ja hafta tackle me so hard?" The boy asked his friend.

"You bet Keith! Now give back the sword!" the girl who tackled him demanded. She was around his age with fiery red hair that was in a braid to her hip. She had green eyes and glasses in front of them.

"No! We're too poor to have a sword and a real swordsman doesn't fight with wooden swords!" The boy, who is now identified as Keith said. Serenity smiled and then shouted,

"You idiot! You know that if you want a sword that my Daddy will lend you one of his!" She stood up, allowing Keith, who was still holding the sword, to stand up.

"I know, but I wanna sword of my own! After all, I'm gonna beat Dracule Mihawk? He's the greatest swordsman in the world Serenity! An' one day, I'm gonna beat him!" He said with pride in his voice. Serenity smiled at him and said,

Well in that case, when you do beat him, I'll be right there next ta ya!"

"Promise?" Keith asked.

"Promise!" She replied. She then slapped him upside the head. She then snatched the sword out of his hand and said,

"Yeah I'll be next ta ya, after you get enough money to buy a sword!"

"OW! Girls aren't supposed ta hit that hard!" Keith complained as he rubbed the sore spot on his head. Serenity grinned.

"Well I guess I ain't a normal girl then!"

That night…

It was around midnight and the full moon was high in the sky. Keith was sleeping in his crudely-made house on the floor when he heard people shouting,

"PIRATES ARE INVADING THE TOWN!" His eyes shot open and he sat up.

"Serenity!" He thought as he got some boots on and ran outside. Only having one pair of clothes is the downside of living on your own, but it was a good thing that he was wearing that one pair of clothes to bed. He barged outside and ran to Serenity's house. Most of the shops and houses were already on fire, with people running everywhere, not knowing where to go. Keith hid in some bushes just in time to see the pirates start to kill everyone he knew and loved.

"C'mon lads! Loot all of the houses and leave no man, women or child alive!" One ordered. Keith gasped at who he saw. It was Captain Jack 'Ripper' Rasputin of the Moon Scar Pirates! He had a bounty of 2,000,000 Beli. Just by looking at him, Keith could understand why. He had a beard that went all the way to his torso with yellow teeth that sent shivers down your spine. His eyes were always bloodshot and an ominous mixture of blue and grey. From his left eyebrow to the left corner of his lips was a scar that looked like a crescent moon.

"Hey ugly! Over here!" A familiar voice said to the Captain.

"Serenity! What the hell are you doin'?" Keith asked himself mentally. Serenity was about fifteen feet away from the pirate, a sword in hand.

"Look men! This town's only defense is a little girl!" He asked in a cruel voice.

"Who you callin' little! Your gonna pay for destroyin' my home and killin' my friends and family you asshole!" she shouted.

"I'd like to see that!" Ripper said as he laughed.

"A-A-A-A-A-A-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-H-H-H-H-H-H-H!" The girl shouted as she ran towards the pirate, the sword ready to slice n' dice. But she didn't have a chance to even get the sword dirty before the pirate Captain shot her in the chest.

"That outta shut her up." He said with his pistol still smoking and a smile on his face. Keith had had enough.

"You bastard!" He shouted as he jumped out from his hiding spot.

"Look! Another child!" Ripper taunted, his words directed to his crew, who started to laugh. Keith ignored it and went to his friend, who was barely breathing.

"Serenity, don't die! Please! You said you were gonna be there when I beat Mihawk!" He said as he put her head in his lap.

"This sword…we got it for…your birthday Keith… it's called… Oborozuki (1)…just remember... I'll…be with you Keith…I'll be…with…you…" she said before she breathed her last.

"Aw…now isn't that sad? Don't worry, you'll be joinin' her in hell!" Ripper shouted as he readied his pistol.

"Mikazuki no Mai! (Dance of the Crescent Moon)" (2) Keith shouted as he swung the sword rapidly, making it look like he had more than one sword. Before the Captain could let the information sink in, cuts appeared on him and he started to bleed heavily.

"Augh!" He said as he held one of the wounds. Keith stopped swinging the sword, but then he felt somethin pierce into his back, through his stomach. It was one of the crewmate's swords. Keith thanked Serenity's spirit for the sword not piercing any bones. It was then that he blacked out.

One month later

It had been a month since the attack and Keith was lucky to be alive. When he collapsed, the pirates took him for dead and brought their bleeding captain back to their ship. A few survivors of the town had found him not long after the pirates left. One of them was a doctor and immediately brought him to a safer place to fix him up. Only a handful of people were left of the town. And now Keith had a single goal in mind.

"I'm gonna avenge ya Serenity and for everyone one else who died. I'm gonna kill the Ripper. I'll do it even if it's the last thing that I do. I don't care about beating Mihawk now, all I care about right now is revenge" He vowed silently as he stared at the ocean with Oborozuki in his hand. He could almost see Serenity's smiling face in the horizon.
