Chapter 2: Tattered or Battered?

Disclaimer: HELLLOOOOO Human beings, it is me Boruto. Back at it AGAIN with another chapter. Now I really need to step my game up. MY FIRST FOLLOW. I AM SHRIEKING LIKE A BASTARD! On a different note, I have to work on my wording. I have to bust out the thousands real quick. So, I am apologizing in advance because I will be slow at first. Without further ado: LETS GET IN THIS!

There he was. It was as if he was seeing a ghost. Well technically, seeing a cartoon character come to life but hey: Beggars can't be choosers. "Oi, I asked a question, who are you?", the straw hat wearing goof asked, seemingly a bit mixed. "O-Oh hehe sorry about that," the Tattered Teen said, "My name is Asher and I…..was looking for some things to acquire..." The Straw Hat Lad gave a smile as he stretched out his hand. "Oh cool, I thought you were a crappy marine. I'm Luffy: Future Pirate King", he said with an ever growing smile. Asher smiled as he shook his hand looking around. "Uh, do you mind helping me out with telling me where the hell am I?" Luffy looked around with a squished look on his face. He pointed down as he moved toward the three swords. "It's the loser's room apparently". Asher looked at Helmeppo as he seemed close to death.

"Hey, can you help me out here," Luffy said, tilting his head looking at the three swords. "I'm trying to recruit this cool guy, Zoro, but I don't know which sword belongs to him…" Asher looked at the swords as he grabbed all three, feeling the weight of all three. "It's all three of em," Asher said looking at the teen pirate. Luffy tilted his head in confusion. "He uses the Three-Sword Style," Asher continued to the teen as he seemed to understand, his smile once again returning. "That's cool, I can't even use one sword," Luffy said sheepishly rubbing his head. Asher gave a chuckle at Luffy's antics. He didn't know what it was. Something just made Luffy seem like an old friend. Luffy seemingly spotted something and without warning, smashed the window. "They're trying to execute Zorro now!" Luffy said as he looked out. Asher looked over to see Marines pointing their guns at a man with a tan complexion, a white shirt with baggy seemingly blackish-green pants. What gave Asher a chuckle was the pink haired little boy seemingly scared out of his mind standing in front. "We've gotta help him HOLD ON", Luffy said as he stretched his arms to the end of the window, pulling himself back. What is he talking about? Asher looked over quickly assessing the scenario before paling almost instantly. There's no way. He wouldn't do that….right? "Gum-Gum", Luffy started with a smile as he seemingly was moving toward Asher. "Oi Luffy, let's talk about THIAAAGGHHHHH," was all Asher was able to say as he was struck and was now free falling out of a tower. "Why couldn't I be a good orphan and harass hobos?" Asher thought as he fell down on a Marine close to the action.

"ZORRRROOOOO, I found your swords now join meeee! Luffy said raising his hands high not noticing his fellow companion was rubbing his bottom from squashing a marine. "Dammit kid, I told you- ehh who's the dude next to you?" Zoro asked, somehow not paying attention to the fact his life could end at any time. "SHISHISHI, this is Asher", Luffy giggled pointing at the tattered teen, "He's our second crew member!" Wait….Hold on…..WHAAAAAAAT! Asher snapped his neck toward the Straw Hat as Zorro was nonchalant about the whole situation. "When did we discuss this," Asher said, feeling both

excited and shocked at the same time. Before Luffy could respond, a marine tried to come at him from behind. "DUCK", Asher said, throwing one of the swords at the marine's head. He buckled as Luffy popped back up, giving a thumbs up. "DO NOT LET THEM MAKE A FOOL OUT OF THE MARINES!" Asher turned to see a tan skin man wearing the marine uniform, looking dead at him. "Take care of these filthy pirates!" Before Asher knew it, a whole storm of marines came charging at him. The mood of the four people before the crowd was all but conflicting with one another.

"SHISHISHI, I can try out some new moves now!"

"If only I had my swords, I could use them to end this charade…"

"I WANNA GO HOOOOME!"

"OH dear OH deer!"
