Iron Demon Shiro Ch 2
The day has been calm as there has been nothing but the sound of the calm sea and the sails flapping within the wind. Luffy and Usopp were playing around the deck Zorro was sleeping with his swords on his side, Sanji inside making lunch for everyone, Nami was reading her newspaper with the shade, and Shiro having his coat on the ground laying on it next to her eating a tangerine using his finger as knife slicing it and eating it. All is well and good nothing wrong going on.
"How long you think it'll take for Sanji to make lunch?" Shiro asked taking a bit from the tangerine.
"I don't know but at least it's quiet so I don't mind." Nami happy that at everything is quiet for her to read the news. They soon heard the roars of people and he spotted what seems to be the most saddest excuse for a marine ship for its full holes as a few will holding it up with wooden planks and the sails were stitched with other sheets.
"That's a sad excuse for a ship from the navy." Shiro said seeing how bad the ship looked.
"Looks like it just came out of a battle that thing can barely floats." Luffy also seeing how terrible it's the ship conditions while Usopp nodded behind him.
"That's a real darn shame putting so many scrapped ships on the sea." Usopp also pitying the ship. They heard a yell causing Shiro, Luffy, and Usopp see who it was. It was a man who had dark skin with pink hair wearing a suit but everyone can see that on his knuckles were some type bolts attached to his knuckles as some sort of brass knuckles for weapons.
"It's not a scrapped ship are you all blind! Have you all forgotten the face of Ironfist Fullbody!" Fullbody yelled out seeing the group of pirates.
"Oh yeah you're that marine guy I saw one last time are you stranded or what?" Luffy asked with a smile on his face making Fullbody more frustrated.
"Quit fooling around our meeting here means the end for you all Monkey D. Luffy you're under arrest!" Fullbody shouted showing his recent wanted poster making Luffy smile even more.
"Yup that's me alright." Luffy chuckling oblivious to what's going on.
"And that's the back of my head." Usopp stated proudly.
"It says dead or alive major distinction now men take aim and destroy the ship to splinters!" Fullbody shouted making one soldier move a cannon hearing the sound of creaking.
"What's going on who's making all that noise?" Nami stopping her reading wondering what's going on as Shiro stood up and cleaned his hands.
"Give it a sec I'll handle it." Shiro told her and began walking towards the cannon. Luffy still hasn't moved from his spot while Usopp took a step back in fear with his mouth open.
"Guess they're going to shoot." Luffy said in a calm tone.
"They're aiming right at us." Usopp shaking in fear as Zorro who taking a nap was about to stand up and reach for it but sees Shiro walking their way and goes back to sleep. Luffy stood up and grabbed his arm ready for it to come.
"Fire!" Fullbody ordered as the cannon was about to fire and Luffy was about to stretch his arm but Nami stopped him for she hit him in the head as Shiro jumped up and grabbed the cannon ball shocking the marines for they couldn't see who did it.
"Hey you what's the big idea do you want to die you're in marine business stay out of the way!" Fullbody shouted until he saw the person take a bite of the cannon ball and he began to sweat knowing only one person who can eat iron. Shiro took a bite out of the ball but then spat it out and sticked his tongue out.
"Good god this tastes terrible, what the hell Fullbody think you can use some of your berri's on some good cannons!" Shiro shouted towards Fullbody as he threw the ball back at Fullbody and that made everyone run out of the way as the ball went to the ship making it sink into the deep sea.
"Damn you Shiro what the hell are you doing with these pirates aren't you a bounty hunter!?" Fullbody shouted seeing Shiro cleaning his ear from all the shouting.
"Didn't you hear I'm a pirate so given that you had the intent on attacking him so I had to step in nothing personal." Shiro waved goodbye at Fullbody as he went down on the ship as piece of paper flew to his face grabbing it and sees his wanted poster.
"I'll get you too then I'll get you both on my word as a Lieutenant I'll have your heads!" Fullbody given his final words as he swam away from the Merry to the nearest island.
"Does he know that there are no islands nearby?" Usopp asked seeing Fullbody swim at a distance.
"No but don't say it makes it more hilarious." Shiro told him seeing Fullbody swimming away. Sanji got out of the kitchen looking pissed off.
"Alright what's going here who's responsible for all that racket was it you!?" Sanji pointing at Shiro.
"Calm down Sanji nothing happened just some poor marines." Nami calmed him down as Sanji then has heart eyes and spun around.
"Nami-swan lunch is ready just for you!" Sanji cried out not seeing Shiro walking past him.
"Ok wonder what's for lunch?" Shiro wondered but Sanji turned around.
"Oh hell no you don't you're eating the leftovers!" Sanji using his leg to strike the back of his head making an impact. Sanji then felt a crack as he then began to hop on his leg while grabbing his other foot in pain. Shiro turned around seeing that he was in his dragon scales with a smirk.
"Nice try but you gonna need more than a simple kick to hurt me." Shiro taunted as they went inside for lunch. Everyone were eating their lunch while Nami was studying a map about entering the grand line and called for group meeting.
"Ok you guys it here's the plan we're getting very close to the Grand Line. The only way to get there, is to go through 'Reverse Mountain'." Nami pointed at the map where a mountain with five entrances.
"That's a pain in the ass. Can't we just go straight there, from the sea?" Zorro asked seeing it as a pain.
"Nope. According to the old man's stories, it's the only way to get into the Grand Line." Sanji said remembering the times Zeff telling him stories of the infamous Grand Line.
"Why's that?" Usopp asked Sanji wondering why it's the only way to cross over to the grand line.
"Because it's dangerous that why." Sanji explained just like that as Luffy had an another idea in mind.
"OK! I got it. Let's go head-on through the front!" Luffy shouted getting another punch in the head by Nami.
"Are you even listening to me!? Argh Trying to explain things to you is driving me insane!" Nami holding her head while seeing Shiro placing his hand behind his back resting and that made Nami wonder.
"Say Shiro you been around the Reverse Mountain is it dangerous over there?" Nami asked making everyone stare at him.
"Well it is dangerous as the people say but if you know what you're doing and have a great navigator you'll be fine." Shiro told the crew seeing them have mixed reactions.
"Then I guess we going to need to make a quick stop before we head there and there's a famous there is a famous city called Loguetown it's also called, ''The Town of the Beginning and the End". Nami suggesting making Shiro open his eyes wide knowing what this means.
"The place where the Pirate King, Gold Roger, was born and also the place where he was executed." Nami stating why the town is most known for while Shiro was sweating realizing that a certain someone is going after him.
"The city where the Pirate King died. I want to see it. The man who owned One Piece, the man who had everything in the world. The place where he was born and died that's exciting lets go!" Luffy shouted making his mind up now everyone decided to go to Loguetown.
"Crap, crap, crap, crap! Smoker is there and if what he said is true then that means…" Shiro thought thinking what Smoker might do to his crew. But seeing how his crew are they might have a chance to fend off for themselves in the town so maybe there's nothing to worry about.
Scene Change
Back in Loguetown Smoker was looking in one wanted poster about a certain bounty hunter.
"So he actually did it should've known he'll do it." Smoker said to himself as a marine soldier ran in front of Smoker and made a salute.
"Captain Smoker sir there has been a break out and one prisoner managed to escape." The marine soldier told Smoker and it made him stop what he was doing.
"Who was the one lucky enough to escape?" Smoker asked.
"Buggy the Clown sir." The soldier telling the one prisoner who escaped only to get punched in the face by smoker's fist who extended from his desk.
"Then get everyone ready we're going on a hunt." Smoker giving his orders made the marine officer run and tell everyone. When the door closed Smoker gave a sigh grabbing his coat and left his office.
"Tashigi ran off somewhere since she saw the poster she better get her head in the game and fast for when Shiro shows up who knows what'll happen." Smoker walked out of his office hoping nothing goes wrong.
Scene Change
"We finally made it to Loguetown." Nami shouted seeing the town at the horizon while Luffy was sitting at the Merry's head smiling.
"Alright we made it!" Luffy shouted out as well, Shiro walked towards getting their attention.
"Alright you guys I have something to tell you guys before we head to the town. First there's more than one reason why its called the city of the beginning and the end, that place is full with Marines one wrong move and you're locked in for the one in charge is one of the best marines I've meet who at least cares for his job as a marine." Shiro warned his crewmates for everyone paid attention to him.
"How do you know all this?" Sanji asked taking a smoke from his cigarette.
"Because the one in charge of the marines has never let a single pirate escaped this town. The chances are leaving this place is slim so don't do anything stupid for I won't be of any help." Shiro informed them all.
"Then I guess we are all on our own just don't get noticed." Zoro summed it all up and Shiro nodded before he realized it.
"Oh speaking of which Zoro I got something for you I know a place where you can get your new sword and for free of charge,." Shiro told him getting his attention.
"Where do I go tell me?" Zoro asked and sees Shiro grabbed a piece of paper.
"All you gotta is...to look for this sign!" Shiro showing him a doodle of two swords clashing making everyone laugh.
"You idiot why would you show me that!?" Zoro shouted at Shiro seeing the terrible doodle.
"Because you have the navigation skills close to a child so I thought this was going to help you get there with you running around as if you've lost your head. Another thing when you get there show them your new sword and they'll give it to you for free." Shiro explained and Zoro just snatch the drawing away from him. They soon arrived at the town and docked in the pier making everyone leave and do their own thing.
"Guess I'll try to find new food to restock for the trip ahead." Sanji was the first to leave until he turned around with hearts in his eyes spinning around.
"Nami-swan please wait for me I will return with new food for you to eat!" Sanji yelled out spinning away into town,Luffy jumped off the ship and ran off.
"Ok guys I'm going to visit the Rogers execution site see you all later!" Luffy yelled out as Usopp ran catching up to him to join him while Nami grabbed Shiro by the shoulder dragging him off the boat.
"Come on you gotta show me the market so I can buy some outfits." Nami explained to Shiro and both walked towards the market place. They passed by a clothing shop as the two went inside and Nami was trying on new clothes making on the dressing room while Shiro was seating in the seats seeing how long this is taking.
"So how long is this going to take exactly?" Shiro asked Nami who peeked out only her head out.
"Hey this takes forever to put now hold on!" Nami shouted went back as she then finished changing and as she showed what she was wearing, it was a white jacket with a half top corset from the chest to mid stomach showing off her belly button and a short miniskirt. Shiro stayed silent as he blushed but quickly shook it causing it disappear and Nami quickly turned around and fist pumped seeing him managing to make him blush and quickly went to change again. Her second outfit was red sleeveless dress while there's a thigh slit showing off her legs and what seems to be animal fur scarf making Shiro to make a low whistle. She kept on trying many different outfits getting many different reactions when she was done she made him carry them to the counter as the one in charge with a hairstyle of a hanger in his head.
"Will you be purchasing all of them today?" The manager asked seeing all these clothes in the counter. Shiro then realized as she saw Nami smiled he then realized something.
"Your making pay for-." Shiro then stopped seeing her shake her head.
"Nope, none of them." Nami answers exiting the building leaving Shiro behind as he ran up behind her.
"So wait you weren't going to buy them then why did you go there?" Shiro asked seeing her smile with her hands behind her back.
"Because I'm looking for something a bit more casual think you know a place?" Nami asked and he nodded.
"Yeah there's one at the lower side of the plaza tell them I sent you there and they'll help you." Shiro told her and she looked back.
"Well you just helped me with saving money." Nami smiled at him but was soon interrupted as the two spotted Sanji and Zoro running towards the same direction with his new sword on in one hand.
"What's going on Zoro?" Shiro asked as he stopped and began to explain to the two.
"It's Luffy seems that buggy's in town and got his hands on him now he's going to execute him in the same place as Roger was." Zoro told Shiro and sighed staring back to Nami.
"Nami find Usopp and head back to the ship to get everything set to leave it won't take long." Shiro told Nami who nodded and ran back to get Usopp getting ready to leave while he joined up with Sanji and Zoro with Shiro leading the way to the pirate king execution site. They soon arrived spotting Luffy at top of the platform as his head was in a pillory with a wide teeth grin on his face buggy next to him with a cutlass in hand. Zoro and Sanji arrived before Shiro as Buggy laughs seeing that he's close on achieving his goal.
"Hehe, Hey guys!" Luffy shouted spotting his crew members down bellow him making Buggy have an evil laugh.
"You made it Zoro, but you just a little bit too late to stop me then after I get rid of him that no good for nothing bounty hunter is next!" Buggy shouted out loud swearing payback to the one who turned him in. While this was going on, surrounding the area were marines armed to teeth as Smoker and Tashigi were observing in the back.
"Listen everyone the moment Monkey D. Luffy's head falls we all attack together!" a marine soldier ordered the men and everyone agreed as they aimed their rifles at them as Smoker had his hand raised.
"Prepare for battle." Smoker prepared his men for the fight as Tashigi used her binoculars looking through the area spotting and glaring at a certain bandana wearing swordsman.
"Roronoa Zoro." Tashigi said his name with a hate thinking he'll show up not knowing who she met later that day breaking her glasses making him pay for that and after seeing that he had the sword Shiro won from that bet with the store owner and told her to help him never found out that he's the infamous swordsman. Zoro and Sanji began to run towards Luffy.
"Hey hold on you two I got this." Shiro jumped ahead of the two and began to walk towards Luffy and Buggy stopped what he was doing seeing Shiro in front of him.
"You again! Why are you here shouldn't you be somewhere else!?" Buggy shouted losing his nerve seeing the one who brought him to the town.
"Should we fire captain Smoker?" A soldier asked and Smoker shook his head no.
"No not yet it won't do much anyway." Smoker told his men seeing no reason to do it yet. Someone then walked next to buggy who had a white hat with a red feather and black hair with a confusing look on her face.
"Hey what's stopping you finish him." She asked and Buggy points at Shiro who she also paled.
"It...it's him!" Alvida paled seeing the former bounty hunter in front of her making him raise his eyebrow.
"Do I know you?" Shiro asked making her glare at him.
"Did you forget it's me Alvida, "Iron Mace" Alvida!" Alvida shouted out making Shiro clean his ear.
"Never heard of you must be confusing me with someone else." Shiro said making Alvida facefault with a red face.
"You'll pay for that get HIM!" Alvida Shouted aiming her large mace at him as a crowd of what seems to be her and Buggy's crew came charging at him while Shiro just walked slowly towards the group of pirates with weapons at him.
"Let's get him!" One pirate shouted trying to cheer them up while Shiro only grabbed his arm.
"Iron Dragon's Club!" Shiro reached all the way to the pirate punching him in the stomach getting the full impact as everyone just stared in shock.
"Expand!" Shiro Shouted and more clubs appeared from different directions hitting everyone knocking them out as they fell to the ground and he turned his arm back to normal then proceeded to run to Luffy.
"Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, Nami Shiro sorry but I'm dead." Luffy said with a big wide smile as Buggy brought the sword down on his head.
"The hell you are!" Shiro shouted just as the blade came close to his neck. All of sudden a large lightning strike appeared causing to fry Buggy as a storm now appeared as rain began to fall and the platform began to fall down. Shiro turned around and sees someone in the rooftop with cloak covering his body but as the lightning strikes once more and his eyes widen seeing the mans face having a red tattoo in the left side of his face.
"What is he doing here, shouldn't he be somewhere in the grand line?" Shiro thought at he sees Luffy's hat falling to the ground but in the smoke Luffy appeared free from the pillory dusting it off and placed it on.
"I'm still alive that's nice!" Luffy stated with a smile on his face making Shiro walk towards him and slapped him upside the head.
"You idiot what is wrong with you!?" Shiro questioned him while Luffy was smiling and laughing, Zoro put his swords back.
"That was divine intervention." Sanji said not believing what just happened.
"Doesn't matter now we gotta run now unless you want Smoker to come after us." Shiro told them and everyone began to run for it. He looked up at the same roof and sees the stranger has disappeared.
"Now attack surround the pirates!" Smoker ordered his men as the marines began to run towards them. Luffy began to dodge each attack as they began running and beat every marine they came across. Shiro expanded his club arm knocking a few soldiers down.
"Come on we gotta get back to the merry and leave this place." Shiro knocked back another set of soldiers. Shiro looked back and spotted Smoker looking down at the group.
"Did you managed to at least destroy their ship?" Smoker asked a lieutenant who was shaking in fear.
"Uh no sir but a reserve unit is making preparations to attack the ship." the lieutenant told smoker assuring that they won't get away.
"Captain Smoker if we let them sail now they'll be able to get to the grand line before we can capture them." Tashigi informed him but then everyone saw something clinging to the wall seeing it was a knife made of iron stuck to the wall with a note.
Don't even think about it unless you want to get your ass handed by yours truly Smokey.
They read the note and saw a chibi version of Shiro giving them the tongue taunt. Smoker bit into his cigars hard and smoke began to look like it's about to erupt.
"Get those pirates NOW!" Smoker shouted making everyone run in fear trying to catch the pirates before they leave. As the group four kept running while a mob of marines are after their tail.
"Which way is the sea?" Zoro ask as they kept on running.
"Follow me I know the way-aw crap!" Shiro shouted seeing Tashigi standing in their way with her sword in hand in the rain.
"You three need to run I'll catch up I just have one last thing to do in this town." Shiro stopped in his tracks as the four did as well.
"Are you sure?" Zoro asked seeing his friend nod.
"You better not do something or you'll be eating scraps you hear me." Sanji warned him to get flicked in the head by Shiro.
"Hey I'm not after you I'm after the sword Zoro has give it to me!" Tashigi drew her sword and began to charge towards but Shiro ran ahead and used his arm to block the attack.
"Now run you guys I got you covered." Shiro told them as the three ran off ahead. Shiro pushed her away as he turned his other arm into a blade making Tashigi make a stance but was shocked to see him sliced his arm off turning into a liquid but his arm regrew and grabbed it turning it into a sword and took a stance. Both stared at each other as Tashigi ran towards them as blades clashed.
"Stand down Shiro you don't stand a chance don't make me do this." Tashigi told Shiro pushing her back close to a wall getting an Idea.
"Me neither but I told them I'll catch up with my friends." Shiro managing to get to the wall.
"But why are you helping the pirates if you come with me we can clear your name." Tashigi trying to convince him to stay.
"Like I told Smokey I don't want to be a soldier who believes that absolute justice is the answer to all you and I both know that isn't always the case." Shiro told her as iron spikes came from his arms and legs and pierced her making her stuck in the wall.
"See ya and good luck." Shiro then resumed running leaving Tashigi stuck in the wall having her head down letting the rain fall down on her hiding her tears on possibly not seeing her crush again.
Flashback
Tashigi was walking around Loguetown with her brand new sword hoping that the sword will help her on her goal on gathering all meito grade blades around the world and being in the marines will help her achieve her goals. As she walked she stumbled upon a crowd blocking her way hearing mumbling from the crowd. She pushes a few people aside to get a good view. She sees a group of pirates standing in the way to someone she sees that it was someone wearing a dark purple shirt with black pants with a red sash wrapped around his stomach and back cavalier boots with black fingerless gloves while the knuckles had iron in them carrying a duffle back with one hand.
"What did you say to us?" One pirate asked seeing that he was annoyed.
"I was asking where is the marine base numbnuts or are you both deaf." The teenager stated while scratching his head making both pirates growl at the insult pulling out a knife.
"Screw you punk!" The pirate ran towards him while the teen just had his hand out and the knife stabbed his hand making everyone gasp making the two pirates chuckle but stopped seeing that he can't pull the blade back from his hand while not bleeding and the teen grabbed the man's hands and broke it as he cried in pain trying to pry his hand off.
"Nice try but tell me does this hurt?" the teen asked twisting two fingers on the right as he cried in pain but grabbed the other two fingers.
"Or these two?" He then cracked the last two fingers letting him go holding his hand only to get hit in the head knocking him out. The last person went to try to land a punch on him dodging each blow while he went down and everyone saw his hand turn into iron and punched him in below the belt...hard.
Tashigi was in shock seeing how one person managing to beat two people on his own while seeing that he has a devil fruit. The rest of the guys were holding on their jewelries having phantom pains.
"Now then does anyone here know the way to the Marines base so I can bring these two and get my bounty!?" He asked the crowd but no one stood up and saying a thing.
"I do!" He looked around and spotted Tashigi walking towards him.
"I can show you the way follow me." She pointed the direction and Shiro pulled the blade out and used it as a toothpick while uses his other hand to drag the two pirates with him.
"So what's your name?" the teen trying to start a conversation eating the blade making tashigi keep her blade closer to her.
"Names Tashigi what's yours?" Tashigi asked seeing him swallowing the handle.
"Shiro, I have a feeling this is going to be the start of a great friendship." Shiro told Tashigi as they headed to the base.
Flashback over
Shiro kept on running in the town but decided to climb on the roof taking a better view seeing the ship and headed there while looking for the others seeing that they went on ahead trying to also not fall off during the pouring rain.
"They better have made it there's no way they could've gotten lost." He mumbled jumping off a roof continuing his way to the docks but he spotted Luffy about to get beaten by Smoker and went to raise his weapon but sees the same guy on the roof grabbing Smokers hand stopping him.
"Him again now this is getting strange he never leaves the grandline why now?" Shiro wondered as he went closer he slided towards them and snatched Luffy away placing him on his shoulder kept on going seeing Nami and the rest yelling him to hurry up.
"Hurry up you guys!" Usopp shouted and Shiro jumped grabbed Luffy and threw him at the long nose both falling on the ground while he landed there.
"Let's get outta here unless you want the navy after us!" Shiro shouted lifting the anchor starting to set sail in the middle of a storm. Everyone kept on keeping the Merry afloat as Nami spotted something.
"Look everyone the lighthouse!" Nami pointed at the lighthouse blinking towards one direction.
"What's that?" Usopp asked hugging the mast while Shiro was smiling seeing the blinking light.
"That is our way out of here and into the grand line all we gotta do now to is follow it, deal with the entrance and we're free." Shiro told them making everyone stare at the distance.
"Alright let's have a little ceremony to mark the importance of our voyage." Sanji suggested making everyone agree to do it for he then went to grab a barrel and placed his foot.
"To find the All Blue." Sanji stated to find his dream then Zoro.
"To be the greatest swordsman." Zoro placed his foot on the barrel.
"To become a brave warrior of the sea." Usopp saying his dream as Nami placed hers.
"To draw a map of the whole world." Nami said her dream then Luffy's.
"To become king of the pirates!" Luffy shouted his dream then everyone stared at Shiro seeing that he's the only one left.
"Come on you're the only one left there's room for one more." Luffy told him with a wide smile making Shiro rolled his eyes and placed his foot in.
"Becoming the strongest man in all four blues." Shiro said.
"Let's go to the grandline everyone!" Luffy shouted and everyone shouted "YES!" for soon their adventure will soon begin.
