DISCLAIMER

Sorry that it took so long, life is keeping me busy. Special thanks to Derpulies and Hotspot the 626th (who inspired me to do fan fiction) for their advice. Remember I'm still new, so please excuse me if I make mistakes. I don't own One Piece, I'm just an otaku that enjoys the show too much ;) . Please leave a comment and review, I really want to hear what you guys think. So without further ado , let's continue the awesome story of ONE PIECE: NEW CENTURY

Chapter 2:The King of Fight Night

It was a calm, quiet morning in Golden Town. With the sunrise an hour away, most of the townspeople weren't awake yet. Except for a young teen who was walking through the streets. She had a slender figure, long black hair and pretty brown eyes. She was wearing an open black sleeveless vest, a gray T-shirt under it, short jeans that reached her knees and plain sandals on both feet. She was also carrying a huge backpack twice her size with little effort, while humming Bink's Brew.

She continued walking until a man walked in front of her, causing her to stop. "Hey there sweet thing. Why don't you come with me? I promise it'll be a load of fun." Said the man with malicious intention. He was threatening her with a knife, believing she would be scared.

The young lady just looked at him with a confused look. "Umm.." it seemed as if she was trying to figure something out.

The young thug became annoyed with the girls attitude. "Hey if you don't do what I said I'm go…"

"Now I remember you." Said the teen with a smile, interrupting the thugs sentence. The thug just looked at her with a confused expression. "Old gap mouth, you use to make fun of me when we were kids." Continued the teen, still smiling.

"What?! I would've remembered someone with a body like yours." Protested the thug while looking at her chest. "Besides the only girl I've ever mocked was…" the thug suddenly stopped as he came to realization. He looked at her with great shock. "Lu…Lu…Lu…"

"Yup, that's me. Lucy." said Lucy with her signature grin.

The thug was greatly shocked and couldn't grasp the situation. "But…you…fishmen…10 years…dead…we…boobs…"

Lucy then grabbed his leather jacket and pulled him in closer. She then looked at him with a menacing glare, causing him to shiver. "What did you, just, say?" Lucy clenched her free fist and raised it. The thug was now terrified beyond belief, and he still couldn't understand what was going on.

"PERVERT!"

BONK

Lucy continued on walking with the thug lying face down behind her. Back on the mountain, Kijin was busy drinking sake on his porch, as usual. He looked out at the ocean with a small grin. "10 years of training and I'm still sane. It truly is a miracle."

He took another few sips then looked into his open door. His gaze was focused on three katanas that were mounted on his wall. "I respect you even more now. Grandfather."

Out on the ocean, Lucy has just set sail. In her little boat she was standing proud with a big grin. She then turned around to face the shrinking town. "SEE YA STUPID ISLAND! I'M GONNA BE QUEEN OF THE PIRATES! OH, AND KIJIN, THANK YOOUU!" She screamed with much joy. She turned back to the ocean and caught the first rays of the rising sun.

A new day.

A new pirate.

A new adventure.

(meanwhile)

On another island, inside an arena of some sorts. All that could be heard were the cheers of spectators. In the middle of the arena there stood a man over an unconscious body. His face was shadowed due to the bright lights, but a smirk could be seen on his face. With arms crossed he let out a victorious chuckle before proclaiming:

"There ain't nobody stronger than me!"

(A few days later)

Lucy was at death's door.

She ate all her supplies that she packed for the trip. Now out of food she was lying in the boat on her back moaning and groaning. "So…hungry! Why didn't I pack more food?" She then stared at the clouds, and got an idea. "Hey, I wonder if clouds taste good."

Before she could think of way how to catch clouds, the boat suddenly started to rock. She noticed this and sat upright to see what was happening. From the port side, out of the ocean there rose a horrifying creature, it appeared to be a giant green serpent. A seaking.

The giant seaking released a mighty roar, causing the boat to shake and almost tip over. Flashing his giant razor sharp teeth with his mouth open. The beast focused its snake-like eyes on the young teen. It was readying itself for an easy kill. But its "prey" had other plans.

"Ooh you look delicious!" said Lucy with a drooling mouth.

The seaking then froze and started to sweat nervously, with his mouth still open. Still focused on the young pirate. It then began to backup, slowly.

And.

Then.

At full speed started swimming away for dear life!

"Oh no you don't !" Lucy then started to row with incredible speed, chasing after it. The seaking looked back to see how far ahead it was. But to its surprise Lucy was catching up. It panicked and tried to pick up the pace. For the hunter is now the hunted.

The game of cat and mouse was about to come crashing to a stop. They were headed towards an island, and before they knew it, they were close to the shore. The seaking saw a huge rock and quickly turned left to avoid it.

"Stupid snake! You won't get away!" Lucy screamed with determination. She was only focused on the seaking and not the approaching rock. She tried to turn, but the momentum kept carrying her forward.

"Stupid boat! He's going that way! Come on, we gotta…" Lucy became frustrated because she was going to lose her food. She was then caught by surprise as her boat collided with the rock, smashing millions of pieces. When this happened, she was catapulted into the air with great force.

"WOOOOAAAHHH"

When she landed on the beach, she rolled a few times before stopping on her face. She then stood up with a mouth full of sand.

"Mmm…mmm…aagh…aagh…pe…pe…pe" she began spitting out the sand, and grabbed her tongue trying to scrape it off. (Similar to when Alex landed on the beach in Madagascar.)

The seaking was watching from a safe distance. It was shaken and breathing heavily. It quickly turned around and went on its marry way, before anything else could happen.

Lucy found her backpack a few feet away. She dusted it off before putting it on her back. "Stupid snake. Now my boat is gone and I'm still…..'sniff'…" Lucy was interrupted with the smell she longed for.

"FOOOOOOOOOOOD!" Lucy then charged towards the inland hoping to find what she was smelling.

The island was home of an average sized town. Shore Town. It seemed that a small diner was getting a lot of attention. Because of a certain customer. On Lucy's table were piles of dishes stacked on one another. And it continued to grow. She ate huge amounts of food quickly and demanded more.

"MEAT! GIVE ME MORE MEAT!"

"How can a women eat so much and still look like that?" asked one of the customers with a disgusted look on his face. Outside was crowded with people trying to get a glimpse of the pirate.

Approaching the diner were three muscular figures.

One of the townspeople saw the figures approaching and screamed out a warning.

"The Stallions are back! Everybody run!"

Upon hearing this everybody started to run away in panic. Even the people inside the diner started running out the door, hoping to escape. Lucy of course didn't pay attention to this and continued eating.

After a minute of silence, footsteps could be heard getting closer. The door flung open with three men standing there. All of them were huge and looked similar, with a few differences. The one in the middle, and probably the leader, had a purple Mohawk and sunglasses. The one to his right was bald with ear rings, the one on his left had a black beanie on. They wore the same biker-style clothes. Black leather jackets, blue jeans, boots and had a white horse printed on the back of their jackets.

The leader walked towards the counter with a cocky grin. He leaned over the counter and stared at the owner."You know the drill. Just give us the usual, and we'll be on our way"

The elderly owner started to sweat nervously, and answered. "I. Don't have your money today."

The gang leader lifted up his sunglasses with his thumb and gave a disappointed look. "Is that so? Could've fooled me old man. It looked like this place was packed. But if you don't have the money." He then grabbed the owner by his shirt pulled him closer. He looked into the old man's eyes with anger and annoyance. Just when he was going to say something, one of his men got his attention.

"Hey boss. Would ya look at that." Said the bald one pointing at Lucy with his thumb. The leader then looked towards where he was pointing and saw Lucy still happily eating her food. The leader let the owner go and walked towards Lucy.

They were standing in front of her with their arms crossed. "Looks like you're enjoying your food. You must have a lot of money in order to eat this much." Said the leader noticing all the empty plates.

"Nah. I'm flat broke." Said Lucy while chewing a piece of meat.

The owner then sweatdropped. Realizing the girl was never planning on paying.

"So, you're the reason why we didn't get our money." Said the leader while cracking his knuckles. The other two positioned themselves with Lucy between them. Lucy was still ignorant of the whole situation and continued eating. The leader then snapped his fingers, signaling his men to attack.

BAM

BONK

It happened so quickly, no one was sure what happened. The leader slowly turned his head towards his right. "WHAT THE HEEEEELLLLL!" he screamed comically seeing his men against a cracked wall. They were both bleeding and unconscious.

"No it's your turn Chicken Head." After hearing this he slowly turned back to Lucy. She was cracking her fists and got ready for the next round. "I'll teach you not to interrupt me when I'm eating."

The gang leader suddenly got very nervous and started sweating. There is no chance of him winning her. He had to think of something quickly, otherwise the diner was going to have a new headpiece. Just when it seemed he was going to die, an idea came to mind.

"You passed!" screamed the leader.

"uh…?" Lucy wasn't quite sure how to respond.

"You see, we're members of a fight club. And we ran out of competitors because our champion is just too strong. We had to see if you were strong enough to face him. And guess what, you passed. We can take you there and if you win, we'll give you 100,000 Belis. As an apology for interrupting your meal." Explained the leader trying to sound convincing, still sweating nervously.

Lucy's eyes were shadowed, thinking of their explanation. The leader became worried, and hoped his plan worked.

"Make it 300,000 Belis than you've got a deal." Said Lucy with her eyes being replaced by Beli signs.

'Wow, didn't see that comin. But I'm glad that worked, now we have another fighter for him. Just in time too, I'm sure he was gonna go beserk on us if we didn't find someone." Thought the leader to himself.

(intermission: Lucy's poster sticking her tongue out)

"Are we there yet?"

"No."

"Are we there yet?"

"No."

"Are we there yet?"

"No."

"Are we there yet?"

"ALMOST! NOW STOP ASKING ME!"

Lucy was walking down a long dark hallway, being led by The Stallions (who got annoyed with constant questions). But the light at the end of this tunnel was getting closer, literally. They entered the light and it took Lucy a few seconds before her eyes adjusted.

There was a big square arena surrounded by pavilions (like the world martial arts tournament at DBZ, but underground).All that could be heard were cheers of the crowd. Lucy and The Stallions were on the top floor of the pavilions, giving her a great view.

"Wow, this is so cool." Said Lucy with amazement. Her gaze was then focused on the arena. It appeared there was someone already standing in the ring.

Suddenly the announcer made an announcement. "Ladies and gentlemen! I've just received word that there is new challenger ready to fight our champion. So get ready folks, cause our champion isn't done yet. The one and only King of the Ring, the winner of over 1000 matches, let's give a big round of applause for our champion. JAAAACK LEEEEE!"

The whole arena started shaking with their cheers, for the man in the ring. He wasn't as big as the thugs, but he was still well toned. Had orange upwards spiky hair. Wore a red jacket with a hoodie, black fingerless gloves, black leather pants, black and white sneakers. Jack Lee just stood there not impressed.

"He's a strong guy." Said Lucy examining Jack. "Man, I wish I could fight him." Whined Lucy causing The Stallions to sweatdrop.

"Um…that's why we brought you here." Said the leader not believing how stupid this teen was.

"Wow really?! Thanks Chicken Head!" said Lucy with much joy running towards the arena.

"Hey boss. Ya think this is such a good idea? What if Jack Lee loses? We're gonna lose all our money." Whispered the one with the beanie to his boss.

"Please! Jack Lee never loses. One way or another we'll get our money back. Start making some bets boys!" said the leader with no hesitation.

Jack Lee just stood in the ring with a bored expression on his face. 'I wonder what sap they got for me this time. I hope he'll last longer than the….'

"Alright let's do this. Bring it on!" Jack was brought out of his thoughts by the loud voice of a certain pirate. He turned around and saw Lucy in the ring ready for a fight. At first everyone was silent; until.

"BOO!"

"WHO THE HELL IS THIS?!"

"I CAME FOR A FIGHT!"

"You've gotta be kidding me." The whole arena erupted with the spectators complaining about Jack's opponent. Even Jack didn't like it. "Are they that desperate? Now they're finding girls to fight me? This is just…"

"WELL THIS GIRL IS ABOUT TO KICK YOUR ASS!" screamed Lucy charging towards Jack with anger.

Jack was caught off guard and barely dodged her punch. She was way faster than he thought. He immediately delivered a right hook to counter attack. But when he attacked, he lost sight of the Lucy.

"What the? Where is she?" he started franticly looking around.

"Behind you dummy." He turned around and was face to face with Lucy. She was giving her signature grin, and this made Jack furious.

He then launched a barrage of combos trying to hit her, to no avail. All spectators were caught in awe. "No one has ever dodged one of his punches before. Let alone one of his deadly combos." Said one of the spectators.

Punches, kicks, arm thrusts, knee thrusts, none of them was landing a hit. He then quickly swept his leg hoping to hit her, but she just jumped high into the air avoiding it. Jack launched himself towards her. He released a barrage of punches, but Lucy blocked every single one. When they landed in the arena again, Jack was catching his breath and also trying to understand the situation. 'This is impossible. No one's even lasted as long as a minute against me. Why is this girl so strong? And why do I feel like, she's different from everybody I ever fought?'

"Man I thought you were strong. Turns out you're just another weak thug. And was hoping I could…." Whined Lucy interrupting Jack's thoughts.

"Weak? I'LL SHOW YOU WEAK!" screamed Jack stopping Lucy from completing her sentence. Then with blinding speed, he launched himself towards Lucy. "I'LL PUNCH YOUR HEAD CLEAN OFF!" And with that statement Jack landed a mighty blow to Lucy's face.

Believing he won, he gave a small smirk and looked at his opponent. He saw her body was still standing. But her head was gone.

"AAAAAAHHHH! I DIDN'T MEAN THAT LITERALY! OH MY GOES I KILLED SOMEONE!" Jack was freaking out historically. All the spectators' jaws were dropped at the sight they saw.

"Gum… Gum…." Suddenly he heard a voice coming from the body. He was confused looked at the body from a different angle, and saw something bizarre. Her head wasn't gone ,her neck was stretched all the way to the spectators.

"BELL!" with that, Lucy's head launched forward towards Jack. Jack was still in shock so he didn't dodged the attack, and was headbutted square on his head. He was knocked down on the floor, and all spectators were speechless. They couldn't believe what was happening. Jack immediately got back on his feet.

"Tell me, what Devil fruit did you eat?" said Jack ignoring the bruise on his forehead.

"Oh, I ate the Gum Gum fruit. Now I'm a rubber girl." Said Lucy while pulling on her cheeks, demonstrating her abilities.

"Gum Gum fruit? Perfect." Said Jack with a smile.

"Huh."

"Its been a while, I haven't met an opponent like you in quite some time. Now, I can go all out. AND SHOW YOU MY TRUE STRENGTH."
