The Flame Saint

Two years after Hecate left The Creation Pirates, she is found on top of a cabin of a small ship. The person who owned the ship had no clue she had hitched a ride and never would know as she jumped off before he left his cabin. Hecate held up her hands to block out the blinding light from the snow, as sun irritated her greatly. She walked through the barren town, spinning a set of metal balls in the air with her power. "This place is a piece of shit," she said to herself, finding the pub/inn of the island. "At least it isn't snowing in here," she said, putting the metal balls in her pocket. She gracefully moved out of the way of a man with wild, unkempt spikey hair, the only thing holding it back being a green bandana. "That's how you don't get laid…ever," she thought, looking at the man before making her way to a barstool.

Another spikey black haired male with giant gauntlets appeared, but on a different part of the island. He was exiting the cabin that Hecate had hitched a ride on. While he wasn't a boy, he wasn't a man either, stuck in a midway between the two. He was absolutely enthralled by the snow. Living in a rather hot area of the North Blue he had never seen snow before and loved every bit of it—before he felt how cold it was. He then proceeded to run back into the cabin, emerging in a coat of sorts. He then made his way towards the town, looking for a place to stay.

A brownish blond haired boy was sitting nearby Hecate when the spikey haired male from the cabin entered the inn/bar. He too sat near Hecate. She groaned slightly as she could literally smell the inexperience on him. He raised his hand asking for a room and a meal. The bartender obliged, only asking for his name. "Rock," he said joyfully. "What about you lady," the bartender asked, looking towards Hecate. "A pint or 2 of your strongest drink would be nice. Got a feeling I'll need it," she said. Unlike the others, Hecate could sense every single person on and near the island. You see, everyone emits a low-level electromagnetic field. Hecate uses that field as a sort of life sensor, allowing her to pinpoint people. And she could feel it—enough people to most likely be a Marine Armada.

"Isn't it dangerous to be drinking so much this early in the day?" the brown-blond haired boy asked her. "More dangerous to judge strangers on their life choices," she retorted. "Guess you got me there," he said, holding out his hand. "Name's Licoal." Hecate ignored his hand but gave her name, "Hecate." Licoal laughed slightly, "What kind of name is Hecate?" Hecate, slightly annoyed at the laughter towards the name Akki gave her, responded sourly, "What about Licoal or fucking Rock? What are you, people or stones?" she said, not caring if she offended them. Before either of them could respond a squad of marines busted into the pub/inn. Hecate grinned, the air becoming more static as she turned to the Marines. "We are looking for any wanted pirates that would've stopped at this island on their way from the Grand Line," who seemed to be head marine announced. Hecate raised her hand, the static increasing as metal objects began to float and swirl. "That'd be me," she said, her grin growing as they noticed her. "Well, well, electromagnetic powers. You must be The Shock Princess. This'll be fun," he said, pulling out his sword in unison with the other marines.

Hecate laughed slightly. "Metal? Against me?" she said as the swords ripped out their hands. "I'm a fucking electromagnet girl, you'll need more than that!" she yelled as the swords plunged into their masters. As more Marines entered, after hearing the shouting, Licoal stepped forward, the room heating up. He pulled out a short broadsword that's metal seemed to be turning red. Sure enough, when he cut some marines with it they burned, their uniforms catching on fire. The marines, assuming Rock was with them, charged at him, only to be knocked out by his punches. "Well, looks like we're in this together," Hecate said as she approached the exit of the pub/inn. "Where are you going?" Licoal asked questioningly. "Well I don't know about you two, but I prefer to live a long life outside of a prison cell. I'm getting off this island," She said as she exited the pub/inn. Rock and Licoal followed her out. "Yossssh! I may not be a pirate, but I'll punch down any marine who attacks!" Rock said in a loud voice. "Yes, please, broadcast us to the entire island," Hecate said in an annoyed tone.

As they made their way through the island, towards the docks, they found the man who Hecate had moved out of the way of earlier. He was fighting against a group of marines, but he was cornered. Before Hecate could do anything Rock charged in to help the man. Hecate sighed, wondering what kind of idiots she had joined up with. Licoal smiled before charging at the marines with his sword. Hecate simply watched, keeping her senses on the larger group that was walking towards town. She felt a sense of fire to one of the marines in the group; this couldn't be good. Once the 3 had finished fighting off the group, Hecate signaled to follow her as she headed to the docks.

They walked quickly before Hecate saw it and knew what that fiery sensation was. She raised her hand and spoke very lowly, "Keep your heads down and no matter what, do not attack." Rock spoke up, "Sneaking!? That's not right!" Hecate turned to him with a deadly look. "Do you want to die?" Rock gulped. "N-no," he said quickly. "Then keep your fucking head," she said as she kept moving, slightly slower now. As they walked, they saw a large group of marines all in justice coats. One of them was in a red justice coat and looked like she wasn't older than 18.

Hecate's body could barely move as the fear flowed through her. Using her powers to shock her system into moving, they slowly made it past the group. At the last second, Rock accidently bumped into a marine. "Sorry, sorry, I wasn't paying attention," he said, scratching his head, slightly looking over at the girl in the red cloak, blushing slightly before moving on to catch up with the others. "Anyone got a ship?" Hecate asked as they entered the actual dock part of the docks. Rock raised his hand happily and then pointed to the small cabin boat. "Hey, that's the ship I snuck onto to get here. Funny how things work out," she said before jumping onto it. "Not big, but it'll have to do. Hey, sword boy. You coming with?" she asked. The man who was corned earlier spoke up, "The name is Xaroz, and sure," he said, getting on the ship. "God, I swear, no one names their kids normal things," she said as the other 2 got on the boat, Rock's questions about her being on his ship before they came here ignored. "Let's get out of here as fast as possible," Hecate said, getting the boat ready for sail.

Meanwhile, the group of marines entered the middle of the town. "Scout out the area—find every known pirate ship and calculate how many pirates are currently on the island," the Marine in the red coat said. As soon as she did, all but one of the justice coats spread out. After 30 minutes, they returned. "Admiral Victoria, we discovered a high amount of pirates in the area; at least 8 known ships and 12 with black flags." Victoria's face darkened as she heard a voice, "Kill them. Kill them all. Burn this pirate haven to ash." Victoria's body shook with hesitation, but then she ordered the marines back to the armada.

Once all the marines had left the island, Victoria's body began to burn, turning to fire before shooting into the sky. "Drum Island! With the power granted to me by the world government, I judge you for the crime of association with pirates. Your island has been tainted beyond repair and must be burned!" Victoria shouted before putting her hands downwards, open towards the island. "God of Flame, Keeper of Fire, cast down thy holy flames upon this sinful island!" Suddenly, fire began to form, growing in size and mass, its heat setting the trees on fire as it became bigger than the island. It engulfed the entire island, burning it. The once snow white island was still white, but now the snow was replaced with ash. Victoria bolted over in the sky like a fireball towards the armada, landing on the main ship. "Let's move out sensei!" The man who had remained with her nodded before speaking up, "Victoria, why did you burn the island?" She turned over to him before touching the sword on her hip, "Ignis told me to." The man simply nodded, ordering the armada to sail.

Far off from the island, Hecate and the rest watched the smoking island. Tears in his eyes, Rock clenched his fist. "I will never forgive the marines for this!" he exclaimed. "Get used to seeing this. They proclaim justice, but Marines are just pirates backed by the world government. They kill more than most pirates do—and for barely any reason." Hecate yawned, laying down. "Tell me when we get to an island," she said, going to sleep on top of the cabin. Xaroz sat against a wall with his sword in his hands. Licoal sat at the front of the ship, looking out at the stars while Rock set the ship on a course following the log pose his adopted father had given him.

Meanwhile, a young marine captain who looked like she was 12 entered the dock of the G-8 Marine HQ. She was followed by a group of walking and talking toys as she went towards a marine. "Take these to Impel Down," she said before ordering the toys to listen to the marine and walking off towards her CO's office. As she entered, a man, most likely in his 20's, ran towards her yelling. "EMILY-CHAAAAAAAAAN! ARE YOU OKAY?! DID THE MEAN PIRATES HURT YOU!?" Emily quickly stepped out of the way, the man running into a wall. "Please. vice admiral, don't treat me like a child when I'm older than you." she said.

After about 5 minutes of the vice admiral trying to hug her he finally calmed down and talked seriously. "There's supposedly a pirate group who have grounded themselves in Vista Island. HQ has instructed us to look into the group." Emily's face lightened with relief. knowing she wouldn't have to stay too long in the HQ. "Right away sir. What's the threat level considered to be?" she asked. "Nothing major, maybe one or two bounties. You can take a low-level squad," he responded, giving her an eternal pose for the island. And with that, she was off to head for Vista Island. Little did she know, on that island she would meet the most dangerous pirate she'd ever seen.

*** Rock, Xaroz, Licoal are not my own characters, they are made by my friends and that's why their names are so…weird well at least Xaroz and Licoal. That being said Emily is also not my character, I'm not sure how many of my friends characters I'll have in this story but I'm planning on at least 3 more maybe more.

*** Ignis is the name of Victoria's sword, she was trained from a young age to be the world government's monster, the hearing the voice belongs to an admiral that died, using an unknown devil fruit they put his soul into the sword, for anyone wondering that admiral was the one who had the goro goro no mi. Too her the voice of the sword holds the full authority of the Gorosei and orders can't be refused or questioned.

*** Vista Island is one of the many non-canon islands that will be in this story to try and not copy the show by going Luffy's route.
