The Wild Pirates
I do not own anything to do with the One Piece universe since all of that belongs to Eiichiro Oda. I only own my Oc's.
Gaining A Dream
"My name is Yasei what's yours?" Sarah asked slowly as she sat in front of the much more cleaner and less thin fifteen year old Yasei as he now wears a pair of black knee length shorts, a white shirt with a lion on it and sandals along with his strawhat and tribe sash.
"My name is Yasei what's yours?" He grumbled out while staring at Sarah who smiled brightly as she understood him more.
"Getting better, again my name is Yasei what's yours?" Sarah asked more clearly as Yasei blinked a couple times before glancing off to the side.
He saw a bird on a nearby tree branch so he picked up a blunt knife and leaped out of the window making Sarah let out a tired sigh as she heard the gasps of shocks coming from window.
Yasei started to chase the now frightened bird as he swung, jumped and dived off things to keep up with quick moving animal.
"No luck huh?" Gin asked as he handed her a bottle of rum and sat down in Yasei's seat.
"He's slowly getting there" Sarah replied with another sigh as she took a swig before smirking at the fishman "Remember when we tried putting some actual clothes on him?"
"All I remember is getting attacked and being surrounded by the shredded clothes I brought" Gin muttered as he took his own swig as he remembered Yasei clawing at his face the moment Gin tried to put a tie on him.
"Well I nearly drowned giving him a bath so now look at him, he's stylish, smelling good and apologized to the both of us" Sarah laughed "So what did the client say?"
"She wants Hitori alive, the rest can die and to do it at midnight to avoid endangering innocent lives" Gin said with as he took another swig.
"Alive!, doesn't she know what he does to people, to children no less?" Sarah asked with a look of anger on her face.
"Of course that's why she wants him alive to know where he's sending them" Gin said as he finished his drink "I'm going to get my blade fixed, you deal with the kid"
"What do you want me to do?" Sarah asked as Gin simply shrugged his shoulders.
"I have no idea, he seems to like birds" Gin said with a grin as Sarah frowned at him.
"I'll think of something" Sarah said as they stood up and left the tavern. Gin nodded his head and walked up the street.
"Yasei come here!" Sarah called out as Yasei landed in front of her with a crouch before standing up like a normal person.
"Food" Yasei simply said with a smile as he opened his mouth and brought the squeaking bird's head inside.
"That's not food let it go" Sarah said as Yasei frowned and released the bird which pecked at his face in revenge before flying away.
"Do you want some candy?" Sarah asked as she watched Yasei stop growling at the free bird. He turn to her with a wide smile on his face in a matter of seconds because he understands what the word candy means.
"Take my hand then" Sarah said as she held her slender pale hand out which he grabbed quickly.
The two of them walked down the street while Yasei stared in awe at all the items being sold at the markets. They entered a medium size candy shop and were greeted by a overweight man with a long black hair.
"Hello what can I get you two" The overweight man said with a warm smile as he leaned down to Yasei's height "Might I suggest the choco explosive ice cream its delicious if I say so myself"
The overweight man patted his stomach and laughed making his hair flutter in front of Yasei's face.
Yasei remembered a younger him learning how to swing with the help of the giant lion's mane and hasn't swung around once after he left with Sarah and Gin so he grabbed it and jumped up.
He was disappointed at the fact the mane fell off making him fall onto his butt while also revealing the man's shiny bald head which shocked Sarah along with the other parents and kids in the store.
"Yasei give it back now!" Sarah exclaimed as Yasei simply stared at her and the wig in his hands before climbing up the man like a tree and planting the wig on his head before leaping back onto the floor "I'm so sorry sir"
"Sorry" Yasei growled out which confused the man at the strange accent the young boy has before simply fixing his hair.
"No worries ma'am happens a lot, now what would you like?" The man asked with a warm smile as he moved his hair behind him.
"Uh I'll have the banana split with two scoops of tangerines" Sarah said as she glanced down at Yasei "What do you want?"
Yasei simply pointed at the most eye catching thing on the menu which is the chocolate ice cream covered with melted fudge, sprinkles and jelly beans.
"I guess he'll have that" Sarah said as Yasei rapidly nodded his head.
"Of course that will be fifteen beri" The overweight man said as he placed the two treats on the counter while Sarah handed him the money "Enjoy and come again"
"Tasty" Yasei said after taking a long lick and smiling before he devoured the treat in a single bite.
"Yasei you're about to experience pain for a couple of seconds, let that be a warning every child must learn when eating ice cream" Sarah said with a smirk as Yasei stared at her in confusion before he clutched his head in freezing cold pain for a couple of seconds.
"So what did you learn?" Sarah asked as Yasei rubbed his forehead.
"Tasty candy hurts" Yasei groaned making Sarah shake her head.
"Not all tasty candy just that one if you eat too fast" Sarah said as Yasei simply nodded his head.
"Alright lets go hom-!" Sarah didn't finish her sentence because a huge muscular man with tattoos covering his face bumped into her which sent her treat falling onto a shorter man's white suit while she fell to the ground.
"The fuck!?" The short man yelled in anger as he instantly took a handkerchief and started wiping the treat which only made it worse as the stain grew "You're gonna pay, this suit cost me seventeen thousand beri"
"Hey your friend bumped into me, besides I didn't even get to take a bite so he should pay for both of us" Sarah replied as lifted herself off the ground but gasped in pain due to the large man stepping on her left hand.
"Listen you can either pay with money or blood your choice" The short man said as he threw the handkerchief to the ground and pulled out a twisty dagger.
He pressed it against her cheek making Yasei growl in anger at the dangerous weapon which caused blood to trickle down her pale cheek.
Yasei snarled and lunged for the short man but was stopped as a large hand grabbed him by the head and easily lifted him off the ground.
"Let go of him right now!" She said with a serious tone as she quickly moved her right hand to her waist and took out a sleek black and dark green pistol which she pressed against the short man's forehead "You got five seconds"
"You got a lot of nerve drawing a gun on me bitch?" The short man snarled while the large man pressed down on the arm and tightly squeezed Yasei making him snarl in pain as he kicked and slashed at the air.
"What's going on here?" A burly marine asked as he and three other marines walked over to Sarah, Yasei and the two men who let out annoyed growls.
"Nothing she fell over and we was about to help her up" The short man said as the muscular man helped her up with a strong pull that made her stumble slightly before lowering Yasei to the ground and giving his head one final squeeze.
"Thank you kind sir" Sarah said as she shook the muscular man's hand tightly making him let out a muffled groan of pain at how tight she was squeezing his hand.
"Alright Randal, Bruce leave first" The burly marine said as the short man Randal and muscular man Bruce simply nodded their heads and left.
Yasei snarled at them before turning to face Sarah and saw the blood that continued to trickle down her right cheek along with blood running down her forehead.
"You're hurt" Yasei said with a concern tone in his voice.
Sarah wiped the blood coming down her forehead with the back of her hand which stopped it from reaching her light green eye and white eye patch before doing the same with the cut on the cheek as she smiled at him.
"Don't worry I'm fine see" Sarah said as she turned her head side to side and swept her shoulder length red hair backwards to show Yasei she is okay despite a few cuts "What about you are you okay?"
"I'm tough" Yasei said as he mimicked her head motion making her smile.
"Alright then come on lets go home, its almost bed time" Yasei nodded as the two of them continued down the street and entered the tall hotel.
"And despite the gold weighing him down he and his crew managed to defeat the lightning god and save the Island" Sarah finished as she stared down at Yasei sitting on her lap with a large grin on his face.
"Awesome!" Yasei said with stars in his eyes as he stared at the book "I want to meet him"
"I think you already did" Sarah said with a smile making Yasei stare at her with a look of shock on his face.
"I did!" Yasei exclaimed as he tried hard to remember.
"Yasei the man who gave you that hat is the person from all the stories" Sarah said as she picked up the strawhat and placed it on his head making his eyes widened.
The image of a smiling man with messy black hair, a scar underneath his right eye, fair skin and wearing a red long sleeved shirt, blue pants, wooden sandals and the same strawhat on his head appeared in his mind.
"So he alive?" Yasei said slowly as fuzzy memories of him and the man flashed in his mind. Yasei saw Sarah gain a frown as she let out a sigh and held his shoulders.
"I'm sorry but he died a long time ago" Sarah said as she saw the sad look appear on Yasei's face "Though you should know that he did become the second pirate king" Sarah said as she saw a small smile appear on Yasei face along with tears that he quickly wiped away.
"He became king then?" Yasei asked getting a nod in return making him tighten his grip on the hat "Can I be next king?"
"I don't see why not, but what reason do you have to become the next pirate king?" She asked making Yasei gain a serious look on his face.
"So you wanna be the next pirate king?, You should know that there will be a lot of strong people both marines and other pirates standing in your way do you think you can beat them all?"
"Then as the soon to be second pirate king Monkey D Luffy keep my hat as a bond between a previous and new king of the sea"
"I forgot but I promised him that I would become the next king" Yasei said as he formed a wide smile "And I want to make my friend happy"
"Then of course you can, though I want you to promise me that you'll look after yourself since a lot of people are still trying to find the one piece and the marines are really cracking down on piracy" Sarah said as Yasei grinned.
"I promise" Yasei said as Sarah smiled warmly and gently kissed his forehead before tucking him into bed.
"Good I'll talk to Gin about putting some time aside to train you, now try to get some sleep" Sarah said as Yasei quickly went to sleep making her smile as she turned off the light and left the room.
"So he wants to become the pirate king huh?" A gruff voice asked making her turn around and stare at Gin who is sitting on the couch with a bottle of rum in his hand.
"How much of that did you hear?" Sarah asked as she sat down and snatched the rum from his hand.
"Just the part about you telling him why its dangerous" Gin said as he watched Sarah take a long swing before handing his bottle back.
"Yeah apparently he made a bond with the pirate king, Id say its before he went feral" Sarah said as she took out a suitcase and opened it up to reveal a a dark red and blue sniper rifle, two dark green and black pistols and a bunch of ammo.
"Well I'm glad the kid has a dream and all but you know how the marine treat pirates now days, hell they barely tolerate us" Gin said grumbled as he folded his eyes.
"But I think he can handle what the marines throw at him since I still get chills remembering what he did to Hajime" Sarah said as Gin shook his head.
"I know what you mean I've seen frenzied fishmen before but that kid something else entirely" Gin said with a small smile as he remembered Yasei's brutal assault.
"Then its settled then, what days are you going to put aside to train him" Sarah said with a eager grin.
"You know I ain't no teacher" Gin said with a shake of his head making Sarah frown making him grin slightly "Let me finish, I can't teach him but I can call in a few people who owe me some favors that can lend me books and such to help the kid out"
"You're the best!, I'll get you a sake bottle that's as big as your biceps" Sarah said as Gin gave her a nod and left the room.
"Also I call dibs on a short man in a expensive suit and a scarred up giant" Sarah said with fire in her eyes as she followed Gin while tightly clutching her suitcase.
Nine Months later
"Alright now I should drop these off and finish off with a sprint around the docks" Yasei muttered with perfect clear to understand words as he jogged home while adjusting the extremely heavy arm and shin guards.
A sudden cry made him stop and turn his head towards the alleyway where angered shouts was coming from.
He entered the alleyway and saw a group of boy surrounding a fifteen year old girl with light tanned skin, black shoulder length hair, grey eyes and wearing a dark blue button down shirt, black knee length shorts and matching shoes.
"Hey what are you guys doing to her?" Yasei asked as everyone turned to face him as he dropped the bags.
"Just teaching her a lesson" An overweight boy said with a sneer as he walked over to Yasei and towered over him.
"What did you just say?" Yasei said as he glanced at the girl and saw a bruise on her face "Did you hit her?"
"She cut me!" Another boy shouted as he held a bloody rag to the small gash on his cheek which prompted Yasei to glance at the blood covered small dagger in her hands.
"Yeah now beat it before you also get hurt" The overweight boy said as he pushed Yasei back.
"I ain't going anywhere until you guys leave" Yasei said as he stomped over to the big boy and tilted his head back so he could look him in the eyes.
"Fine you asked for it" The overweight boy growled as he threw a downwards punch towards Yasei's head.
Watch the enemies attacks first and use my agility to evade them Yasei thought to himself as he remembered reading the many books of combat and putting them to practice.
Yasei easily evaded the punch by leaning back slightly before evading the other punches and directing them away with his palms and forearms.
Then when you see an opening strike fast and hard! Yasei thought as watched a punch fly pass his nose before tensing his right arm and throwing his own punch directly into the overweight boy's stomach making him stumble back while clutching his gut.
The boy let out a growl and rushed Yasei before throwing a right hook that he easily side stepped and followed up with quick swift kick to the left knee making him fall to the ground.
"Stay down" Yasei said as he watched the overweight boy get up and throw a wide left punch that he ducked underneath and followed up with a jumping left uppercut making the boy fall over and his friends back away slightly.
Yasei stared down at the boy with a glare on his face before turning to the girl with a concerned look on his face.
The overweight boy wiped the spit and blood away from his mouth before he glared at Yasei and pulled out a black ten inch rod from his pants pocket. The boy ran forward and swung the rod at the back of his head.
"Watch out!" She shouted with wide eyes as she pushed Yasei out the way making him stumble to the side and watch the rod connected with her forehead which sent her crashing to the ground.
His eyes widened in shock as he bolted over to her side and saw that she has a bump on her forehead.
"She got what she deserved now its your turn!" The overweight boy said with a grin as he raised the pipe up and swung it towards the back of Yasei's head which stopped inches away as his right hand caught the blunt weapon.
"I told you to stay down" Yasei growled as he tightened the grip on the rod before the section he is holding got crushed "But now I'm going to break you!"
Yasei turned his head and glared at the boy making his eyes widen in terror as the enraged look on Yasei's face resembles a pissed off wild animal.
"Wha-!" Was the only thing to escape the larger boy's mouth before Yasei rammed his right fist into his stomach again but with a lot more speed and power behind it making him bellow over and throw up his lunch.
Yasei tightly grabbed the boy by his head and rammed his own head into his until the chubby boy's forehead cracked open and was now leaking blood. Yasei released him allowing him to collapse and groan in pain as he picked up a rusty pipe and raised it above his head.
"Stop" A pain toned voice called out as the rest of the boys watched the black haired girl grabbed a hold of the pipe and stop the downward swing "He's already beaten its over"
Yasei stared down at the blood covered boy who is weakly trying to crawl away before snarling at his friends making the scream in fear and run away while dragging their large friend away.
The girl threw the pipe to the side and put her weapon away. After watching the bullies leave Yasei tightly clench his fists and let out slow breaths to calm himself down just like the first book and Sarah taught him since it was very important.
"Thank you for helping me" The black haired girl said as she gently touched her head wound making her winch in pain..
"Are you alright" Yasei said as he crouched down and rummaged through one of the bags.
"Yeah though it hurts like hell" The girl spoke with a glare on her face due to the pain before Yasei stood up and placed pale green cream on her forehead and rubbed it in "W-what are you doing?"
"I brought this cream since its suppose to help with injuries, its the least I can do for saving me" Yasei said as he wrapped bandages around her head before forming a wide smile on his face "I'm no doctor but I hope that it helps you recover quickly"
Her cheeks reddened slightly as she locked eyes with Yasei before suddenly staring at the ground.
"D-don't mention it I just did what my parents told me to do when people need help" She stammered out as Yasei gave her a strange look for her sudden change in emotions.
"So why was they picking on you?" Yasei asked as he placed a dark green box in one of the bags for picking them up.
"They were trying to scare me into giving them free stuff since my mom own a weapon shop" The black haired girl they left the alleyway and sat on the steps of a building and watched the busy market "I'm Nina by the way, Kaminari Nina" The black haired girl said with a smile.
"Nice to meet you I'm Yasei just Yasei" Yasei said with his own smile.
"Yasei do you mind telling me where you learned to fight like that?" Nina asked making him form a grin.
"My father got me some books so I could learn my own style" Yasei said as he went into one of the bags and pulled out sweets for himself and Nina "What about you I'm sure you're able to use that blade if you managed to cut that boy?"
"Yeah my mom taught me to defend myself" Nina said with a soft smile on her face "My dad didn't want me to since he doesn't like seeing me get hurt but me and mom managed to get him to understand since its my dream to become the greatest swordswoman in the world"
"Seriously that's awesome" Yasei said with wide eyes making Nina gain an embarrassed look on her face.
"What about you?, do you have a dream?" She asked with a look of curiosity while taking a bite out of her dark green frosted cupcake.
"To become the next pirate king" Yasei boldly said while taking a bite from his yellow frosted cupcake as Nina just stared at him with stars in her eyes and look of awe on her face.
"Whoa that's cool!, my dad told me stories about the pirate king" She said with a mouthful of cupcake as a grin formed on her own face "I actually think you'll be able to do it after seeing you beat up that kid and I'll be there to see it happen"
"Thanks, wait what?" Yasei said with a look of shock and confusion.
"I said I'll be there when you become the next pirate king while I hopefully already became the greatest swordswoman" Nina said while being oblivious to Yasei's confusion "Since we're going to be crew mates we need to plan out how many crew mates we want, along with a type of ship and jolly roger"
"Alright but-" Yasei began to say until a voice rang out.
"Nina!, Where are you we finished selling our stock" A young male voice said louder making her stand up.
"Coming Dad!" Nina yelled before she turned towards Yasei and gave him a big hug "I promise to come back so we can plan out everything, I'll see ya later cap'n"
Yasei stared at her large smirk in silence as she run over to a tall yet thin good looking man with, pale skin, black hair, dark blue eyes and shaved black beard who picked her up.
He stared at her head wound with concern and anger to which she calmed him down before pointing at Yasei and smiling.
Her father gave him a respectful nod before walking away. Yasei simply sighed as he stood up and picked up his stuff before jogging home.
3 Years later
A eighteen year old Yasei roared as his fist dug deep into the face of battered, bruised and bloody teenaged boy.
Blood burst from the scrawny teenager's mouth as his eyes rolled into the back of his head while he collapsed into the sandy ground face first.
"And Yasei has done!, he's beat everyone and now going to fight the champion tomorrow!" A young female voice exclaimed as the crowd of men and woman roared with joy.
Yasei simply raised his right hand up making the crowd roar as camera lights flashed which lit up his sweat covered body showing off him six pack, biceps, broad shoulders and every other part of him letting people know how hard he trained to gain that lean yet incredibly ripped and toned body.
"Amazing kid you've done it again, I knew investing in you was a great idea" A short man with a thin mustache and pale yellow suit said with a grin as he waited for Yasei to leave the caged ring and throw him a towel before they started walking down a hall with a sign pointing to the changing rooms.
"Thanks Tony, I just hope that the champion is strong as everyone says he is" Yasei said as he wiped away his sweat and teenage boy's blood off himself before untying his long ponytail allowing his dreads to fall to the center of his back.
"Of course he is or he wouldn't be the champion" Tony said as he walked pass a group of men and woman while taking wads of berri out of their hands with a wide smirk on his face.
"Sure Tony just give me my cut so I can go" Yasei said with a annoyed look as he watched Tony run a thumb over a couple of notes before handing him a small stack.
"Make sure to get some rest!" Tony called out as Yasei simply waved him off and entered the changing room allowing him to get dressed in simply dark red v necked muscle shirt, ripped dark blue jeans and black wooden sandals before leaving the arena.
"So you're fighting the champion?" A familiar voice said making Yasei whizz around to see Nina standing next to the entrance with her arms crossed.
"What are you doing here?, I thought you wasn't coming until a month" Yasei asked with a confused look on his face as he stared at his friend who has grown from a tough girl into a tougher young woman with an athletic build due to her well toned arms.
She also got a haircut as her black long hair is now short in a stylized bob with the tips of her hair being dyed dark green and wearing black baggy pants with a silver skull belt to hold them up, a grey cotton long sleeved crop shirt that shows of the bottom section of her abs, black thick boots and two katanas in dark red wooden sheathes attached to either side of her waist.
"That was the plan but mom was struck with inspiration and made a bunch of high grade weapons so she decided to come and sell them before the rest of the merchants" She said with a sly grin on her face"I decided to tag along since I was done with training and wanted to plan out this whole pirate journey some more before we actually left but I overheard people saying that Yasei the beast is fighting in the arena so I had to come a see for myself"
"And?" Yasei asked as Nina's grin grew wider.
"That was awesome man!" Nina exclaimed as she remembered Yasei easily avoiding the guy's attacks and delivering powerful counter attacks that made the guy shake with pain.
Yasei smirked at the given praise before Nina suddenly punched him in his right shoulder making him take a single step back.
"Ow What was that for?" Yasei asked as he rubbed his pained shoulder.
"That's for beating the guy to a pulp" Nina said with a frown "You shouldn't of drag it out, how many times do I have to tell you"
"Sorry I know its just that something has been bothering for a while and fighting is the only way to not focus on it" Yasei said as with an annoyed look on his face as he tightly clenched a fist.
"Well I got pumped after seeing you fight so lets spar and chat" Nina said with a eager smile as she patted her two swords "Mom made these just for me and I want you to be the first person I use them on"
"Alright then lets see if those blades can handle my strenght" Yasei said with a grin as he cracked his knuckles before the two of them walked towards a crumbled down building while having small talk.
"So the reason you started arena fighting is because you remembered your home?" Nina asked as she swung her right sword at Yasei who avoided the sleek grey blade by leaning backwards and hopping back to avoid a downward quick slash with her left blade.
"Yeah the memory let me know that I come from crescent moon island which is a Island full of fighters and strong animals" Yasei said as he landed a couple meters away in a crouch position "And I think that I was apart of the royal family since someone said it was an honor to spar with the young prince"
"Wait what two things, how did you loose your memory in the first place and second you're a prince!?" Nina exclaimed the last question in shock as she dashed towards him with both swords at the ready while he stood up and charged forward.
"I either hit my head or blocked and repressed something terrible since besides everything else I don't know what caused my family and friends to die which forced me to grow up in the jungle" Yasei said as he watched Nina with a careful gaze as she suddenly jumped forward and flipped herself around and came at him with a flying kick "And besides the whole prince thing while it is a shocker I can't really call myself since I don't have place to rule due to it being destroyed by a volcano from what Gin and Sarah told me"
"Well once you become pirate king you can find an Island and recreate your kingdom" Nina suggested as Yasei skidded to a stop and grabbed her foot in a tight strong grip before quickly spinning around like a mini twister and tossing her toward the back wall of a currently closed bakery.
"Maybe but its going to take a lot of work" Yasei said as he watched Nina twist herself around and hold her right sword in her mouth before grabbing a low hanging bed sheet on a washing line and launched herself back at him.
"But you'll have your crew to help with that" Nina said after taking the sword out of her mouth and watched Yasei slid his right foot back, brought his left foot forward and clenched his fists while moving his left arm out lightly as he got into an actual fighting stance "Nitoryu Cresent Rose Slash"
Nina brought both her blades above her head and twisted her body before slashing at him while landing on the ground with enough force to crack the ground.
Yasei smirked as he watched the two blades rush towards his chest and tensed the muscles in his legs.
"Rabbit Blitz" He spoke before hopping backwards and out of the range of her swords making Nina's eyes widen as to her he seemed to teleport a few meters back but formed a smile as she saw the two rips in his tank top letting them both know he wasn't fast enough.
"And Ox Horn Fist!" Yasei shouted while tensing the muscles in his right arm and using his strong leg muscles to dash forward the instant his feet touched the ground and appear in front of Nina with his fist already heading towards her fist.
"Nitoryu Twin Oak Guard" Nina said as she quickly held her swords in a X crossed position out in front of her as Yasei's fist slam against the blunt side of her left blade.
She pushed against Yasei's feet making the teenage fighter push back and begin a struggle contest for control with the two of them slowly gaining the upper hand as her swords moved towards her chest while his fist moved backwards.
Nina suddenly lowered her blades making Yasei's fist fly pass her face before quickly smacking the blunt side of her right sword into his arm sending it outwards which forced Yasei to throw a left kick towards her skull which missed as she ducked and spun underneath it leaving him open.
She acted fast by bringing her left blade up and pointing the tip at the left side of his neck while quickly holding her right blade in a reverse grip and pressing the tip against the right side of his stomach. She gently pushed against him which stopped him from making any sudden movements.
"Nitoryu Thorn Pierce" Nina said with a smirk as she glanced at Yasei who let out a sigh and nodded his head before stepping back.
"That memory is really bothering you isn't it" Nina said with a concerned look on her face as she sheathed her blades.
"It is since while growing up with Gin and Sarah I knew that I had a family, friends and such which hurts as I don't know anyone even my own parents name and what they look like its also the fact they all died and I couldn't save anyone" Yasei said as he stared up at the cloudy sky with a pained look on his face before Nina gently punched him in the chest making him glance down as he now towers over her due to him being seven foot to her five foot and nine inches.
"Look Yasei we've been friends for a long time and while I still don't understand how it feels to grow up the way you did what I do know is that you've become a good person that is willing to help a stranger in need and become a decent member of society, or did you forget the times when you simply used your amazing jungle skills to climb a tall construction building just to get a kid his lost balloon back" Nina said with a sincere smile which made Yasei gained a embarrassed as he remembered that along with all the other times he helped people with simply tasks ranging from food delivery to helping Gin and Sarah catch a wanted gang.
Another gently punch to the chest drew his attention back to Nina who has a serious look on her face.
"Now stop worrying about the past since while it hurts just know that your parents and friends properly died to make sure their prince would live to see the future while your animal friends cared and protected you as their own, so the best you can do for all of them is keep living a long happy life"
Yasei didn't say anything as he pondered what Nina said and formed a smile.
"I can't believe you of all people are giving me good advice" Yasei said as Nina went to punch him again but he blocked her with his left palm "But I hear ya so I'll become pirate king, find out who wiped out my family and friends before rebuilding my kingdom"
"I'm glad I could help now lets spar for real" Nina said with a grin as Yasei nodded his head before the two of them dashed back with Nina drawing her swords again and Yasei tightly clenching his fists and tensing his muscles that bulged slightly and became bigger.
"Now the fight everyone has been waiting to see!, the challenger that has been wiping the floor with everyone Yasei the beast!" A female voice exclaimed as the crowd of men and women roared and yelled as a bunch of people rushed to take bets.
Yasei let out a slow breath and cracked his neck before adjusting his white baggy knee length shorts and glancing through the metal chain link wall and stared at the crowd to see Sarah, Nina and her father Thomas yelling loudly in their support for him while Nina's mother Cynthia who has bigger muscles than her daughter yet still looks feminine, dark tanned skin, black hair tied back into a long ponytail and a eager look in her steel grey eyes.
Gin simply gave Yasei a thumbs up and fatherly nod which made Yasei simply nod back towards him and grin to the rest.
"And here is the undefeated champion Norio Satoshi the silent demon!" The female voice yelled loudly as the crowds roar blared out to the point it was almost deafening.
Yasei locked eyes with the champion who is exactly his age and height. He has fair skin, long straight dark blue hair, with light blue eyes and a body type that is also identical to Yasei's body minus all the different sizes of scars littered across his body.
But what caught Yasei's attention was the thin scar running across Satoshi's throat. Satoshi himself simply nodded his head at Yasei before stretching his legs and adjusting his black below the knee shorts.
"Now fight!" The female voice shouted prompting Satoshi and Yasei to walk towards each other as they stared each other down in the middle of the sandy ring.
And that's the end in the next chapter Yasei and Nina starts their journey.
