A New Legend
Adventure at Nai Island! Part 1
The Guile Swordsman!
The caravel sailed smoothly through the sea, with nothing to cause trouble. However there was one tiny problem that evolved in result to mayhem...
"Emerald~ I'm so hungry~!" Whined Ray, who was sprawled over the deck. Emerald who was thinking of ways to murder Ray when she finally thought of one.
"Ray. Don't be surprised to find me stalking you in the middle of the night with a knife." said Emerald coldly.
"Sheesh. It's like your still on your peri- Never mind." said Ray fearful of Emerald as she was glaring at him.
"I really hate this side of you." said Emerald massaging her temples.
"What side of me?" asked Ray curious.
"It's like you have an alter ego. One day your mean but smart and then the next day your annoying, dumb, and rude. It just happened to be the day your annoying." said Emerald. "At least I'm more calm and collected." Ray said.
"I'm not even going to comment on that." said Emerald. "Hey what do you want to name this ship because a name like "Boaty" or "Shipper" seems a bit childish for a pirate crew if you ask me." said Ray struggling to sit up.
"I don't know." replied Emerald looking at the void that was the empty sea. "Hm." said Ray lying back down closing his eyes.
Emerald saw something small in the horizon. She squinted and her eyes widened. "Ray an island! An island!"
"Where I don't see anything."
"That's because your eyes are closed king of idiots."
"They are."
"Yes! They are!
"Oh yeah they are."
"How do you not know when your eyes are closed or not?"
"I'm messed up in the head. And for the right reasons too, I told you why right?"
"I'm messed up too! I went through the same thing with you!"
"You did?"
"I did!"
"Oh yeah you did."
Ray sat up and crawled over next to emerald before standing up with great struggle. There was an island in front of them with a tall mountain, that could've been a giant sign saying "I am island! And island good. So land on me!" "Am I just imagining things or do I see a giant sign on the mountain?" asked Ray out to the blue, as he looked at the mountain as the ship came closer to the island.
"I think your imagining things." replied Emerald. "But I think I'm starting to see it too."
At the harbor, many people were gazing in awe at the caravel that was anchoring near them. Both Ray and Emerald jumped ship once the anchor had been fully secured, before Emerald walked up to a woman. "Excuse me, but do you mind telling me the name of this island?"
The woman stuttered a little, mostly due to Ray who looked like he would eat her. "It-it's called... Nai Island." she said, before suddenly breaking into a jog to get away from Ray. Emerald confused, shrugged and turned toward Ray.
"I need to eat something or else I might end up eating dirt. said Ray. "Fine I have some beli on me, so I'll go shopping for food, you guard the ship okay." said Emerald.
"Please hurry!" shouted Ray. Emerald walked slower and Ray had a "Really. You can't just do that" look. "Might as well think of a name for the ship. I clearly have all the time in world now."
As Ray pondered for a name. A group of smug bandits walked up to Ray, the leader pointing a gun at Ray. "Give me everything you have." Ray looked at the bandit before bursting into laughter. "Did your mother fuck a pig? Because you look like a hybrid between a pig and the ugliest whore in the world."
"Do you not see the gun pointed at your face?" said the bandit. "That's a gun. I thought that was a thing you used to you know what." said Ray. The bandit cocked the gun and was about to fire before hearing one of his buddies screaming in pain. The bandit turned to see a man cutting down his buddies.
Ray looked over and saw a man around the age of 22. He had long thick black hair sideburns, thin wiry, a skinny pointed nose, and brown eyes. He also had a yin and yang symbol necklace, a black headband with a lightning bolt on it and wore no shoes. He also wore a brown jacket that made him look like a detective.
"Kid move." said the man urging Ray to move away from the bandit. "Why Sherlock Holmes?" said Ray remembering a book he read about a detective.
"When you get cut, don't say I didn't warn you." said the man raising his sword to the air. "Huh." said Ray in interest. The bandit looked at him in anger and pointed his gun at the man. "Hurricane..." The man in a split second was behind the man with his katana almost sheathed. As the man sheathed his sword he said "Dance!" A small twister appeared below the bandit and Ray's eyes widened. The twister was expanding fast. Ray jumped back and landed on his butt as the hurricane quickly surrounded the bandit. Cuts appeared everywhere on his body as he screamed in agony. The bandit fell to his knees before falling defeated and most likely dead.
"What the hell!?" shouted Ray as he jumped to his feet. The man glanced at him as he saw Ray walk over to him. "You could've got me in there too!"
"I told you to move didn't I?" said the man as he looked at Ray who had a "I'm about to fight you" look. "Listen, I don't want to fight you. How about we start over, I'm Calico Johnny." Calico said as he extended a hand.
Ray sighed and grumbled in agitation and shook the hand. "Ray. Talon D. Ray." After their little introduction, Calico turned and started walking the direction he came from. "Well, I need to go and finish my daily meditation session, see ya later, Ray." He said with a wave of a hand.
"Hey, did you save me because these bandits were attacking me?" asked Ray. Calico turned to face Ray.
"That's reason two. My main reason was because they interrupted my daily meditation session."
"You did that because they interrupted your daily meditation session... What the hell is a daily meditation session anyway!?"
"It's where I-"
"I was being sarcastic!"
"Oh."
"Damn bastards." Ray turned to look at the group of bandits that slowly got up. Calico watched them too and started walking toward them. "When we tell the boss, you guys are as good as dead!" The one that pointed a gun at Ray's head shouted as he quickly stood up and ran.
The rest of the bandits ran and limp ran away from them. The one they presumed was the leader of the little group stopped and turned to face Ray. "Oh yeah, we captured your little girlfriend too!" He turned and ran away.
Calico was now standing next to Ray. "GOT DAMN IT! SHE IS NOT MY GIRLFRIEND! ALL SHE IS, IS A CREW MEMBER!" shouted Ray, suddenly.
Calico glanced at Ray. "You're a pirate?"
"Yeah, I am. Are you a marine?"
"No."
"That was sarcastic too..."
"Oh."
"How the hell did she get captured anyway?"
"Are you going to run?"
"You're joking, right? Why the hell would I abandon my crew and friend!?"
Calico paused as a thought crept onto his mind. He pushed it away. "So you're going to save your crew member."
"No shit, Sherlock!"
"Mind if I help?"
"No, Sherlock. I would love some help."
"Okay, so how are we going to find them."
"There has to be some goons around this place. We find one and force them to tell us where their boss is."
"You mean I'm going to force them to tell us where their boss is."
"No! I could've taken them down with my eyes closed!"
"Sure."
"You- *Inhale* *Exhale* Let's just find a goon."
*Tap* *Tap*
The goon turned his head upon feeling the taps on his right shoulder. He face met with a fist. He stumbled back but felt strong hands grab his shirt and pinned him against the wall of a building. A boy around seventeen was pinning him down. "Tell me where your boss is! No, tell me where your hideout is!"
The goon chuckled to himself. "Why should I?" Ray sent a swift punch to his nose. A small crack resonated. The goon yelled out in pain.
"You have thirty seconds to answer me. If you don't answer, I'll poke your damn eyes out." threatened Ray, his face showing no signs of hesitation. "Thirty, twenty-nine, twenty-eight..."
The goon was hesitant. They kid could poke his eyes out. And he didn't even bring his pistol. His knife was on a barrel out of his reach. "Twenty-one, Twenty, nineteen, eighteen-"
"Okay, okay. I'll lead you there, but your signing your death wish by meeting the boss." Ray rolled his eyes as he kneed the goon. The goon doubled over and Ray elbowed him hard but not too hard. The goon fell to the floor and Ray grabbed his hands and tied it with rope they had found during their search for a goon. "Hey, hey! What're you doing?"
"I'm doing this so you don't try anything sneaky." Ray then lifted him up and pushed him forward to signal him to start walking. The goon did.
Calico, who had watched the whole thing, was semi-impressed. He did a decent job.
"Boss! Help me!" shouted the goon as they pushed past some trees. The goon had led them to a forest. He soon led them to a small clearing where a decent sized camp was set up. "Save me!"
A man who was sharpening an axe glanced at the goon and at Ray and Calico. The man who Ray presumed was the boss wore a trench coat, jeans, and boots. He had bulging muscles. Ray sent a hard punch on top of the goons head, which knocked him out. Ray dropped him. Ray scanned the camp and could see Emerald tied up to a log and was mouthing something. Ray ignored her and as he turned his attention to the boss. He smirked confidently and cracked his knuckles. The boss stood up as goons ran in front of him. "Those two are the ones who did this to us!" shouted a goon in bandages and pointed at Ray and Calico.
"So you bastards are the ones who did this to my family! I'm going to make sure you pay!" shouted the boss swinging his axe in a full circle. The goons ran at the duo.
"Calico, you handle the goons, I'll take care of the boss." Slight shock appeared on Ray's face as he bit off the flesh from both of his thumbs and blood started floating around him. The blood then covered his fists and hardened. "Blood Knuckles!"
Ray ran toward the mob of goons and started attacking them. Calico sighed as he slowly unsheathed his katana. "A devil fruit user... Maybe he can win." Calico looked up and blocked a swing of a sword. He then kicked the goon in the gut before quickly slicing him across the chest. "Maybe I'll join his crew, he seems to be different from him."
