Chapter 2: A Feathered Feline Friend
-o-
A RECAP BECAUSE WE THINK OUR AUDIENCE HAS ALZHEIMER'S!
"I'm Bazz-B from Bleach," Hakai said on his branch.
"I'm just old," Tsubasa said.
"And we're not relevant to have names!" Said the entire village before they all spontaneous combust in an explosion. The fire soon spreads to the jungle as Hakai and Tsubasa watch their island burning even ignoring the fact they're on fire.
"There's a gryphon on the loose!" Tsubasa shouted.
"Heheheheheheh" As Peter Griffin punches the ever-living shit out of the hunters with bleeding fists laughing in glee.
"I want to help because I don't want to be an asshole!" Hakai said
"Too late for that but here, take this snail to call me!" Handing him a Gary the snail meowing.
"K"
Hakai then runs while the footage of this clip is sped up as Running in the 90s is played to emphasise the amount of skipping ahead.
"ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT!" The Cheer Cheer no mi said on Hakai's back.
"GARFIELD!" Hakai shouted as he points at the gryphon.
"They're great!" Tony the Tiger said with a thumb up while his smeared in blood.

Back to our Regular Program
Realising my presence, it took off morphing back into its hybrid form and raise its claws at me with craze roar gliding in my direction.
'Shit I didn't realise how stupid that was.' Were the last few words before I rolled in time when the thing swiped at me.
Looking back, there were no scraps of wood with smooth flat stumps where my cover was. Note to self, don't fucking get in range with those things, you'll be mincemeat.
'Don't stop now! Keeping getting closer to it. You can do it!' It cried out
"OKAY! I don't why I'm even listening to you when my life is at stake. But if you got an idea, I'll take what I can get."
The dove tiger thing soon saw no chopped corpse and tried to turn by its tail to attack again. Swiping a couple of slashes.
'Go in circles to get behind it! Grab a weapon from the unconscious hunters!'
Going forth with the direct command, I just continue trying to get out of its range as it leaves deep marks on the ground with debris flying in all directions. Getting a spear left open, I tightly gripped the long weapon in my hands as I try to defend myself.
'Don't throw it. Instead, have it in its mouth.'
Okay, I don't think getting close to where it can tear my flesh off is a very good idea. But hey, this could murder me several ways so fuck it I guess. And that in mind, I just dive under the thing where its jaw is placed while avoiding my head getting clean off.
Looking down in frustration but curiosity it tries to take a bite. Before I got the spear, I had before and jab the fucker, so the spear forcefully widens its mouth up. Seeing it tries to get it off with the pointed bit stabbing inside with blood pouring out from the cut but struggles.
I soon try to slide more underneath the beast. Just then the little shit took a quick swipe unintentionally during its struggle to break the spear at my left shoulder. The attack was enough to tear off not only my clothes around my shoulder but most of the flesh with its claw. This left quite a deep claw mark as blood bursts out from the sudden tear, splashing the fur where its belly is.
Screaming like a little bitch, I try to man up by taking out my now tore sleeve and wrap it around my new flesh wound. Using my other arm that's not hurting like my muscles were torn right out, I tie it under my armpit and around my shoulder until it covers the entire mark. Tighten it as much as possible to stop the bleeding and let it get absorbed in my wrapping using my teeth for extra strength.
Hearing the snapped piece of wood, I immediately try to slide where its rear is. The rush of adrenaline is helping to numb my shoulder, so I can fully use my body to get behind it. Oh, and look, it's a boy feline, that's nice to know. Now to try to remove such a thing in my memory with a nail jammed to my cranium after I survive this.
'Focus and climb on top of it. Use its tail as a rope to climb up!'
"Got it!" Trying to get up after my handcraft treatment.
I soon grab Tigger's feathered ass tail with such vice that the beast railed back it pain but tried to get off it. I begin using the live rope to help get a grip on top of the striped thing. Using one hand at a time to further pull me, the creature soon took notice and was not pleased with a roar and raised claw to attack.
Now I could have lost my other shoulder if I didn't just use the tail to shield myself. The thing didn't know this and just cut itself that blood quickly dripped the moment the claws were out. Recoiling from the absence pain it inflicted allowed me enough time to grab onto the rear of it to settle on its back.
'Yes, that's it, you're doing great. Just go where its neck is.' Pointing to the feathered neck.
Rushing after but squeezing the flesh of the tiger to hold a firm grip to not get bucked off, I gradually came upon the neck. I don't why this thing wanted me to do this, but I don't care at this point as I just want to end this quickly before my blood loss.
'There's a part of the muscle around its neck it doesn't like when grabbed. Right here.' Poking an area.
The thing was now trying to throw me off by waving back and forth. Finding out I'm not coming off, it begins to flap its wings to fly off. Reacting from the change of plans it in stored for me, I just clutched the damn muscle like my God damn is depended on it (which it is). And oh man did the feathered feline reacted.
It stopped flapping with widen eyes before shutting them tightly over the new-found pain. The pain was truly immense as it thrashed and screeched in pure agony as it continues to withstand the torture. It was so unbarring that it just blindly starts to drop on the ground and crash.
'Direct it to those trees!' Pointing to a forest of them afar.
Forcing the beast to stand up by pulling a muscle, it roars and begins to bulldoze some trees in a desperate attempt to stop the pain. The trees were studied enough for our homes that they only shook a bit with a rattle off some leaves but that's thing. The voice directed me for the hybrid to crash onto these specific trees a couple of times.
We soon were away from our initial location as the thing continues bashing many trees, but all stood their ground to showcase how durability they really are. The beast was not used to kind of treatment but hopelessly crashes them repeatable. It's forehead soon starts to bleed a little from the assault as the pink skin is carved into the thick wood with a few bumps that were comical if the thing wasn't in severe pain.
-o-
A LOT OF HEAD SMASHING LATER!
After a few bashes, it gave up and went to a concession from the head tremor as it drops dead. The bottom was raising up and down steadily showing its still alive but the enough of energy and pain in just headbanging soon took a toll on it. Seeing how it just gave up on its attempt to kill me, I just dropped myself off my ride.
But soon enough, several fruits of different kinds start to fall off its branches onto the ground all around. It kept raining with a few hitting the tiger which got it to respond with a low growl of numbness.
"Holy shit! Look at all this fruit we collected!" I marvelled at the huge bundle we saw surrounding my line of vision.
'The beast bashing helped get most of the fruits above to drop down from the sheer force alone.' Looking around as well of the collection of fresh fruits.
'YOU DID IT! YOU BEAT THE BEAST! I knew you could do it, no doubt.' It starts chanting with a jump.
"Yeah…I did!" I said excitedly about how my situation just turned from my loss of a shoulder to having a giant dove tiger beat the shit out of himself. This devil fruit just saved my sorry ass!
'Stay still.' The voice said.
Just then, an arrow narrowly missed my head. It instead hit the nearest tree, causing another fruit to drop into the head of the tiger that soon growled in pain. That is if I soon felt a warm feeling drip down my face, touching it out of sheer instinct was found to be a small cut.
"Dammit, I don't why I even try to shoot this thing anymore for my withered age." Elder Tsubasa said grudgingly to herself as she stares at her bow and arrow. The weapon is still shaking a little even when she holds it casually explaining the miss.
"The actual fuck Tsubasa! You could have killed me!" I shouted as I point to her general direction.
Hearing my voice, the rest of the villagers soon came out of their clearing carrying the previous hunters on their backs. Elder Tsubasa was in front of them to get a closer look at what she just shot at.
"But I didn't, did I?" She responded with a cheeky smile and waving her finger.
"Yes, yes you did." The whole village including Hakai replied in sync with a dull expression and voice.
"Anyways so I see the defeated the gryphon all by yourself?" She said eyeing the tired beast with a family of bumps.
"Well, sort of…" I said with the thing looking over my shoulder. I should really give it a name, I wouldn't want to call it a "thing" since you know, it's the reason I'm even still alive or moving.
"Sort of?"
Realising that I just said that out loud like the retard I am, I tried to "play it off", "Oh yeah I got help from the…trees." Turning my head over to the elongated forest next to the piles of fruits.
"Ah yes, trees." She nodded slowly in knowledge, "Nature's friend. They provide essential things keeping our island intact and healthy for all the resides living here."
"Yep trees, just fucking love them."
"Good, so what do we do with this one here?" Tapping her staff at the beast's head. "Since you're the one who overcame it, you're responsible for what you do with your catch like all hunters. All like they "first come first serve" or was it "finders keepers"? Uh whatever, the point is you can do whatever you want with it. It won't be hurting anyone anymore."
"Well, I was just going to cook the damn thing into a whole feast for the entire village-"
We soon were interrupted by a loud tremble as the dove tiger hybrid wakes up. The thing's limbs were slightly shaking from the still throbbing headache it endured but surprisingly conscious enough to stand. The moment Hakai mention "feast" and him in the same context was enough motivation to get back up on its four paws.
Through sore, it's smarter enough to know when to back down. Given the fact how there's a village of hunters, including the boy who outsmarted it and made a fool out of himself could easily skewer him. So, to survive, it must make the person who beat it show its more than food for him. Upon scheming a way to get out of this without any more animal abuse it soon realises a large number of fruits have fallen where rested. His dove side instincts were brought and called to their need in hungry as it shifted into its full dove form and begins to swallow them whole in single gulps.
"It just transformed!" One of the hunters said as a few stepped back out.
"A GIANT BIRD!"
"So, it ate one of those." Elder Tsubasa mumbled before coming over to where Hakai is as he just watches the bird gulp more piles on piles.
"Now, you were saying you're just going to cook the dove?" She asked eyeing it still gulping happily in bliss.
"Welllll now that you say that…" I said staring at the avian chirping, "It doesn't seem to want to kill any of us for now. And taming is a thing." Thumbing the creature as I twiddle my fingers on my chin with a concerted look.
I soon go over to it as it just ignores me in favour of the buffet. Holding a fruit of my own and tossing it up in my hand to test the weight (light mass), I chuck towards the large chirping dove. Quickly reacted as it gulped up the fruit in mid-air while it flew. Seeing his response, I decided to chuck more fruits in its way, causing it to have some fun in doing some simple tricks as it gulps all the fruits threw at it.
"I think I'll keep it." Smiling in glee at my new pocket mon-I MEAN! Beast. Don't know where the hell that came off.
"It appears to have eaten a devil fruit. From the looks of it appearance-wise, it's a bird Zoan type."
'That's why it seems more docile when it transformed into its full dove form then the hybrid that was more aggressive. It changed its nature depending on the types of forms.' The voice said scanning the creature flopping in joy.
"Looking how much it's eaten. I say the reason for the rampage was because it was hungry but couldn't find a lot in a short amount of type. Luckily you found all these fruits to calm it down." Seeing the piles of fruits, I gathered using that bird's cranium as a batting ram.
"So, is it over? We're saved from the gryphon?"
"I guess…" Tsubasa unsure since it's not slain but at the same time not endanger us as well as it's fed.
"HAZZAH!" We all cheered throwing our weapons before running away and dodging the thrown items.
"I forgot I'm still bleeding!" I said in a happy tone. Soon after passing out with a deep dark red soaking my wrap.
-o-
Mission Task Complete? I don't really give a shit at this point…
And so, our suicidal dumb protagonist has proved himself that his not that much of a weakling in his strong will. He's still a virgin pussy though, but baby steps they say baby steps. Overcoming the "gryphon" in its huge haunting hunger by causing self-inflicted pain against the very jungles they roam in. Seeing how submissive it became, he chooses to tame it on his behalf far from the main village. Currently his at the hospital where the doctors in the island are supplying him blood and stitching his wound.
"Annnnnnnd it's done. That should do it." The doctor said wrapping the last layer of the bandage and typing it securely to ensure it stays. Stepping back to eye her work, it's safe to assume the wrapping is tight enough to move around but keeps the wound from infections and opening.
"Thank fuck for the profession of medical herbalist," I signed resting my head on the many beds to rest on during the healing process.
"And thank goodness that was the only wound you suffered. I got to say, that was quite the cut. I'm surprised you lived with a wound like that for so long, you're lucky you made a wrapping, or it would have opened wide to lead to a more harsher treatment to heal. It would have taken weeks to get that fix. Except some scarring when the flesh heals." She said as she checks over my medical notes.
She points to the bandages, "Change those daily and wash them. Don't do any physical activates to not run the risk of it opening. I don't want to waste any more supplies on you. Do you know how difficult it is finding herbs on an island where all the animals have the capability to kill you?!"
"No, but have you ever had a tiger dove hybrid claw your shoulder casually? But thanks, Dr Iyashi. You're probably the reason why flies haven't swarm to harvest my corpse yet. Or bleed to death." Smiling softly at her for saving my ass on time.
"You're very welcome. Now rest and don't come here ever again with a hole in your chest. The wound will leave some scarring." Leaving me to rest peacefully to more patients to deal with. It's nice having a reliable doctor by your side. And I don't have to pay! I hope.
Luckily for me, my wound wasn't so harsh that I need to be stationed. It's very sore but I can manage. Thank the deities for that. Trying to get up as slowly as possible to minimise the amount of pain from stretching my newly bandaged wound.
"Ow, ow pain a lot of it. Ow, ow, ow okay I got my legs out." Inhaling to prepare for more soring pain. "You get your right arm out and the other ow, fuck! Your left badly arm out and you try to stand up." Using my right arm to grip the bed to help give me support to lift up.
"Ow okay, I got up. Now to walk to my place." Seeing how my shoulder is the only wound I received, I had no problem using these chicken legs. So I walked out without any an actual fuck given as I take my punk ass over to my favourite branch.
…
Wait I can't climb. FUCK! Ah well, it least I get a kickass scar out of this. So yeah.
'Don't worry Hakai! Getting out of bed is the first step to our success. Don't let a wound keep you down.'
"Alright!" I said as I carefully move without too much movement in my arms.
-o-
BORING CASUAL WALKING! WHERE THE FUCK IS THE ACTION?!
As the sun is set to bring in the night of the moon, a flock of new coos has descended to deliver the daily news. All the villagers gathered the papers and spread them around to bring to all of the rest haven't reserved any of the seagulls. I was casually resting outside my tree house "alone" (how edgy of me) layering.
That was until a newspaper was smacked to my face when Elder Tsubasa threw one at me. I could have dodge if I wasn't trying to heal over time.
Pulling the newspaper off aggressively in frustration," You're lucky I'm still recovering, or I would have shoved this paper so far up your ass. That you'll be my walking mailbox." I mumbled in a grumpy tone.
"Well, it would take awhile for me to get up there on my own. And it's your fault for complaining that I take forever to use the ladder. Hence why I threw it at you." Holding her hips.
"Can you at least just let me know that there's a news coo and just leave it on the ground? Kind of in recovering here." Showing my wrapping.
"And you would forget about it saying there's nothing important and it would be a waste of paper. Read it." She said the last bit in a hurry.
Seeing the paper is just next to me I decided to just see what's up. "What? Marine Fujitora has been ranked up into Admiral to fill in the role of Akainu's former position? You know you and I don't give an actual flying fuck about marines. They don't even visit here, which is good since I don't want to suck the rotten dick of the world government." Flipping casually.
She ignored my comment, "Keep looking." Watching my fingers turn each written page.
"The Straw Hat Pirates are still nowhere to be found as of today? The only evidence of any sign of life is the captain of the infamous crew Monkey D Luffy during the War of The Best in pursuit of his supposed brother Portgas D Ace the father of the pirate king Gol D Roger. It has been months since the event." Still seeing nothing peaking my interest. Looking at her for guidance with a raised brow.
"Well? What the hell do you want me to know then?"
"*sigh* These pirates are getting more chaotic the more time passes. Although the East Blue is a weak sea, they spawn some notorious monsters today. It's like they don't value their lives anymore. Going to many mysterious places and everyday disaster strikes like lighting but they go through it to conquer the world and make their dreams come true. Even if the dream is malicious, good or neutral a dream is a dream. Kind of like you." Eyeing me intensely while shaking her staff at me.
"These bounties get higher and higher as well. But what do I have to do with it?" Skimming through the rough paper.
"Be a pirate."
…
…
…
"THE FUCK?!" Almost falling off my house but quickly rolled away, I sighed for the close call. "Okay, where the hell hole did that come from?" Looking below on my tree house to fully see Elder Tsubasa.
"Be a pirate."
"Why?"
"Why? WHY?! It's because every day I look at you. You always feel bored. Like nothing even excites you anymore. You always just go up on your branch and just watch the clouds all day long without any guidance in your life. That's why you decide to farm instead of hunting like the rest of them. You just don't feel motivated at all from it." She took a sadden look which made me a bit concern over her worrying about me this much.
"But when you try to fight back the beast. I saw something else besides boredom and lost. I saw a kindle, it was small, but it was there. You soon felt excitement over your victory and you enjoyed it even if you didn't show it much. I feel like I'm trapping you here without a choice which leads to your solo lifestyle. So I thought about giving you permission in being a pirate. No one will know besides this island where you came from." Seeing my expression.
I looked confusion but also stressed, like an invisible hand slowly closing any air from escaping. It's true I want to have fun and all, but I like this style. It's comfortable and…safe in a way. Everyone seems to not mind living in peace. So would Tsubasa think other ways about me? Like I want to put my life at risk.
'You're lying.'
'I'm not.'
'Don't lie to me, I know you because I was awakened by you. You just want an excuse to live here. Feeling out of touch because of the fear of change, you lived here your entire life. You fully know how boring it is but can't find the drive or reason to do anything. But when you do, you immediately try to get away from it that you might regret your decision. I'll be that drive to mould you into what you truly want.'
"A boring life is one of the worst possible life to live on." She commented.
-o-
FLASHBACK TO UNDERSTAND WHY WE SHOULD EVEN LIKE THIS CHARACTER!
"I want to be a pirate and go on adventures!" A young boy with short chestnut hair shouted over one of his branches.
"Always with those fantasies Hakai?" Tsubasa said, now a bit younger with a visible colour of her previous dye before greying out.
"But there's so much out their Mama!" Standing in said branch. "Think of all the things I got to go to discover! Treasures! Monsters to fight! Maybe some friends! All the other kids want to be a hunter, but I always wonder what's out there." Looking at the far seas.
"Only if you're older Hakai then maybe we can decide." A man approaches them, to which Tsubasa smiles peacefully at him. He has visible scars all around here but still holds a small smile with a pile of firewood in each arm. He appears to wear some dirty overalls and a basic dull green shirt with a few mud patches all around. Until Hakai or Tsubasa, he has a lack of hair and just goes bald for his age.
"See Mama! Papa wants me to be a pirate!" Pleading at his Mama.
"I just didn't think you would even consider the thought." She said with a shrug.
"You know I was thinking of becoming a pirate as well soon. But you got to have a laaaarrrge crew to help your journey." He said as he spread his arms wide to emphasis.
"Now Tori, we got to wait for the boy to even get that age to even begin his adventure." Smirking.
"Of course, dear! He'll come crying back to us when he starts now."
"N-NO I WON'T," He said with a small blush of embarrassment.
-o-
A Few Weeks Later
It was a loud storming night here in Critter Island, even the animals fled their homes. Tsubasa appears to be in a great hurry from her shook eyes as she tries to find her home. When she did she just found her "son" sleeping cosily without a care from the storm.
She soon passed by him in gather some of her buddies. And by her buddies, she means her gallons of booze left to begin ageing well. Grabbing with force and got a glass in a hurry trying to fill it up. For such a small glass, it took a while but when it was filled she downed the drink in one go.
"Dammit…why…God, why. Why did I have to found you in such a state, you promise you'll be fine." She in between breaths as she downs her fifth drink of the day, the alcohol not taking effect yet. She rubbed her temples roughly to relief herself in any possible way.
From those who are confused with the sudden turn of events. Tori (Hakai's stepfather) was off to become a pirate in the hopes of supporting the whole village to help the island from the beasts and improving their life's through money. But also, to help inspire Hakai in doing the same to go out there for the sake doing what you love. Whether it's helping others for their benefit or just to live an endless life of adventure, as long as you enjoy it. It never matters.
But the pirating life was cut short from the news of Tori found dead during harsh conditions and got shipwrecked. There were to gather a few things but only his belongings and some parts of him. Tsubasa was distraught beyond belief over this and when Hakai heard the news, it broke him. Both them and the village soon took whats left of him and give him a proper burial for respect.
By the time everyone left, they were the only ones still in the burial site.
"Mama…" Hakai whispered for only his stepmother to hear.
"Yes?" She answered quietly as well.
"I don't want to be a pirate."
Hearing this made her gasped in such a straight clear decision. He was stubborn but to have to just give up without any regrets seems to really bother her.
"B-but why? I know your Papa is gone. But he would have let you be one anyways without holding you back. He would never let you carry his weight to make your choice."
"But this is my choice, Mama. Papa wanted to sail to be a pirate because of me. If I didn't choose to, he would never have thought about it. That's why I don't want to be a pirate anymore. He died because of my selfish desires." He looked down, never fully showing himself to her. But she did saw a few droplets of fresh tears.
"Hakai…" She said.
"I don't want to be the cause of the deaths of others. I don't to. I don't to…" He kept repeating the same phrase over and over even when more tears start coming out. Hiccupping the phrase, Tsubasa just quietly allowed her stepson to cry in her arms.
-o-
SAD BACKSTORY OVER.
"I still don't want you to worry about me. I could die, and you wouldn't be able to do anything about it like Papa." Was all I could say.
"Don't let me or Papa weigh you down. You really wanted to be a pirate but refused after what happened. You risked your life saving the village from the tiger dove. You came back alive and I was faithful that you made it in one piece. I would never force my child, son or not to throw everything because something happened that to have control over. He doesn't blame you for anything! I don't blame you for anything! NOBODY DID! Papa knew what he was doing, he knew he might die. Don't think of this as an act of doubt. THINK OF IT AS A WAY TO MOVE ON AND GO OUT THERE FOR HIM!" She screamed to get through to him.
'Listen to her.' It whispered in my head. 'You worry about what others feel too much.'
There was silence, both sides remain still for the time being. Either wanted to speak or doesn't know what to say, only hoping for the other to agree with their views.
"Really want me to go out there?" I said with no emotion.
"It what you always wanted. You'll make more use on the seas there here in dread," She said clutching her staff tightly, this place is only a reminder of why he stayed and never moved.
I slowly got out a bounty of Monkey D Luffy smiling without a care in the whole God damn world.
WANTED: DEAD OR ALIVE
MONKEY D LUFFY – 400,000,000 beri
Staring at that wide smile that just screams joy, it reminded of my past. When I don't know the dangers and lived in denial of what pirates do. Focusing on the line work of the printed photo and played with the paper like it was encrypted or something. But no. just regular scrunched up of a poster of a wanted boy with a high bounty. A smile was slowly forming.
"Well, if you insist. I'm pretty shit at my job to hunt and farming was a toll to my mornings." Getting up and straighten my back with a loud pop of bones.I gazed at Elder Tsubasa smiling at me with a hopeful look.
"Looks like I need a ship and shit." Smirking in glee as I eyed the night sky.
'I KNEW YOU COULD!' The voice cheered loudly
-o-
FASTFORWARD IN TIME FOR MORNING!
Now that I'm up and ready for some action. I slowly got some supplies to last me a few weeks at best. I just let the village get me my shit since I don't have a fucking clue on what to get besides something to ride and food to eat from. All the villages gather leftovers and extra food storage for me to have for myself. A map of the East Blue conveniently but I can't read this chicken scratch, so I might need some tutoring.
It's been an around a week after my decision to start my gay ass adventure. Oh, and I tamed the tiger dove and called it Tracy. Cause it has a T, and a tiger has a T. I'm so fucking creative that you have no fucking idea. Now, how you may ask? Rub ing head and scratch the ears while feeding it daily with some loving care that's what! All of these are strapped to the lower half of the hybrid since it's bigger enough.
"It's a good thing Tracy is large enough to ride or I would have to learn to be a carpenter for to get a ship," I said as I watch Tracy in dove form since it increases to her max speed and grows overall from his fruit.
"And here's your compass. You know how to use one right?" Elder Tsubasa looking at me in doubt.
"Of course, I do. North, west, east and south and I go to these directions to help me guide me to my intended destination. I'm not that retarded Tsubasa." I said tapping the glass of it.
"Oh, good caused I thought all hope is lost if my son doesn't know what a compass even is."
"We'll see you later Hakai! Make sure you get plenty of rest!" One of the villages said.
"Eat to stay in shape!"
"Don't get arrested!"
"Be polite to others! That can get you places if you be nice!"
"Have enough money to survive the journey!"
"Design a flag to represent you! No pirate can't be one without a flag of their own!"
"Bye-bye!" A baby said waving.
"Oh, I almost forgot." Elder Tsubasa said as she just ran like a motherfucker into her shelter. By two seconds flat, she came back in neck break speeds with a few seashells she has stored and forgotten.
"Take these. They'll be useful to you." Handing me the shells.
"Are these dials?" I asked
"No, their sticks of gum. These two." Holding up two similar light grey dials. "These are jet dials. Theirs used to power wavers but we don't have those. But the other way of using them is accelerating the speed of your punches, therefore, your raw power. We can't use them seeing how dangerous and out of control they can be if left as it is, so you have it. The other is a flavour dial to absorb smells for explosives. This is a tone dial to record sounds in here." Finishing off her explanation.
"What…you want me to have them?" I said in confusion over how rare and useful these dials are.
"We have no use for them and they're the only ones left on this island. You might as well use them seeing how weak you are." She giggled.
"How do I put these on?" Showing her the jet dials.
"There are some bands on the dials to help secure to your elbows. If you want to find more, look for a sky island. I taught this crap when you were curious as a kid. You know what to do." Turning around to walk away.
Putting the bands of jet dials on my elbows, it surprisingly fits well and sits comfortably like gloves. "Sweet. Wait, no goodbye?"
"Yep."
"No waving or have fun?"
"Nope."
"Just like that?"
"Yep."
"No even a single tear drops?"
"Nope."
"Fine, fine I understand giving me the stern "I don't care but I do" treatment I understand," I said before getting on Tracy as he chirps happily flocking her newly avian wings.
"WE'LL WISH YOU HAKAI! NEVER FORGET ABOUT US!" They all screamed except Tsubasa who just idly stands they waiting for me to leave.
"Well, thanks, guys! Thanks for everything and taking care of me during my time of need! You were all fun to be with!" I said waving at them as Tracy finds a position to take off.
"BYE!" Tracy soon starts floating in mid-air gathering some speed.
"Oh, and Elder Tsubasa," I said quickly with my back at her as I try to steer him to the specific island.
"Hmm?"
"Love you…" I said quietly before just flying off like a badass (like a shithead) and flew to the vast seas of the East Blue.
"SEE YA LATER FUCKERS! IM GOING TO BE A BADASS PIRATE AND FIND RICHES TO GET THEM BITCHES!" I screamed to the top of my lungs.
While at Critter Island, Elder Tsubasa scratches her eyes in frustration causing her to get watery.
"Are you allergic to something Elder Tsubasa?" One of the villages said in concern.
"I could look it up for you?" Dr Iyashi said to her.
"N-no i-it's fine really." She continues to scratch her eyes as tears start to fall. Seeing this, everyone understood what she's doing and denies any concern for their silly mohawk foul mouth.
"I LOVE YOU TOO YOU STUPID ROASTER DUMBASS! DON'T YOU EVER COME BACK UNTIL YOU BECOME A GREAT PIRATE!" She soon just gushes waterfalls as she tries to gather her voice so that he can hear her. "AND FIND A LOVELY LADY! YOU REALLY NEED TO GET LAID! I'M OLD ENOUGH TO GET GRANDCHILD DAMMIT, FUCK!"
But Hakai was but a glimpse in there but if you look closely, you can see a slow wave of a farewell with some liquid sprinkling behind.
"I will Mama, I will," I said as I see Critter Island becoming a mere dot. "ALSO EAT SHIT FOR TALKING ABOUT MY HAIR YOU WRIGGLED BITCH!"
'Let's go and be the very best like you always dream of being Hakai! You'll be the greatest pirate and I'll stand by you!" The voice said.
"You know, I never gave you a name. And for all these words of advice and cheering. I'll call you Cheery, simple but easy to say and understand the meaning behind it." I said over my shoulder where the now named Cheery holds onto.
'Cheery? I LIKE IT! That's the best name ever Hakai! You always use the best names!' Cheery said with pure joy by it jumping.
And there we have it! Chapter 2 complete, yeah!
I really am enjoying these stories that I make and this one is slowly getting together. So now you know a bit of Hakai and what he is as a person, as everyone character in One Piece needs some level of a sad backstory. Since he lives in an old fallen sky island, dials are still around but very a few.
I really hope you found the relationship between Hakai and his adopted family good for a first-time diving into personal emotional moments, so I hope I did well. But more will be revealed in Hakai and his real parents but that will be a while.
Be sure to review and PM me for concerns and questions. I would really appreciate the gesture and support. I'll answer all your questions in the best way possible on the story. The timeline in this story is a few months of the Straw Hats 2 year training so they're still missing in the world.
SBS is also opened for you guys. I love asking your curious questions and I really dream of this getting attention.
This is ItsJustHarry signing out!
