Dollar dog pirates
Entertainment fights?
Jack, Mark and Genie decide to help Pierre rebuild his theater and it soon stands tall again. It's a bit run down, but it still stands. Pierre stands triumphant looking at the building.
"I zank you for helping me wiz zis build. How can I repay your kindness?"
"How about another magic show?" Jack and Genie both reply to which Mark just shrugs.
"It would be my pleasure," They all enter the theater and Pierre gets up on the stage.
"For my first trick I will need some help from my previous assistance. Ze wonderful Miss Genie!" Jack and Mark clap as Genie makes her way to the stage. Pierre takes a long flat metal object that looks like two pipes stuck together. He flicks his wrist and it turns into a big hoop. He lowers it over Genie's head and when he raises it, there's a curtain attached. He let's go and it just hangs in the air.
"Now zat ze trick is set up we can begin. Please make a sound Miss Genie," Pierre puts his hand to his ear.
"Hey," Genie says from behind the curtain. Pierre pulls the curtain down quickly and Genie is gone. She suddenly walks in the door a little wobbly.
"What the hell was that?" They all clap and Genie goes onto the stage again.
"Now…" Pierre takes off his cape and poofs a long coffin-looking thing into existence. It's a long box with wheels on legs and stars on it. Genie climbs into the box and Pierre closes it.
"Is this safe?"
"Sure it is. I am a trained professional," He closes the lid and all that is visible is her head and feet. Pierre gets his hat again and pulls a saw and two metal plates out of it.
"Well zen. Let us begin. Are you ready?" Genie gulps and nods. Pierre puts the plates in the middle and they fall into place causing Genie to yelp.
"That… felt weird," Pierre laughs a bit and gets the saw ready. He starts sawing the coffin in half. With each saw, Jack looks more and more worried. When he is done, he pulls the two pieces apart. Genie doesn't say a thing.
"What did you do?"
"Genie. Please move your left foot," The foot in the coffin moves. Jack starts clapping.
"That's amazing Pierre!" Pierre bows.
"And now to put her back togezer," He is about to collect the pieces, but out of nowhere two men come through the side and grab Genie's legs.
"What are you doing? Zis is my magic show. No! Come back!" the two men don't listen and continue running. Jack laughs.
"Comedy too. This is great."
"I am afraid Zis is not part of my show. Your friend's legs have really been stolen," Jack immediately stops laughing.
"WHAT! What do you mean stolen!?" Mark and Jack both get up from their seat.
"Zey have been taken! By Ze Dollar dog pirates, because of me!"
"Genie! Can you still feel your legs?" Mark yells at Genie's upper body to see if she's okay.
"Yes of course, but I thought it was just an illusion."
"I am not just an illusionist. We do not have ze time to discuss my profession. You need to get your friends legs back," Jack grabs Pierre by the collar of his tuxedo.
"Where are they going!?"
"I believe zey are going to ze bank. Zat is where zey usually take all zere stolen goods," Jack lets go and starts walking out of the theater.
"Let's go," Mark begins walking with him.
"Um guys. No legs remember?" Genie states and Mark rushes back and carries the box with her upper half with him. Pierre thinks for a moment.
"Wait you zree! I'm going to fight wiz you!" They all three look at him.
"I thought you didn't want to fight them," Mark argues. Pierre frowns.
"Zis is very different. My struggle shouldn't go out on ozer people. I refuse to see my magic causing anyone but me to get hurt. Never again!" His eyes start tearing up a little as he runs after them. They start walking up through the town with Pierre leading the way.
"Pierre? Why do you seem so different when you perform? You're nothing like this you when you're on the stage," Mark asks. Jack is mostly just staring blindly into air with an angry look. Pierre's eye starts tearing up a bit again.
"When I perform I do not do it for ze money or ze fame. I do it to make people happy. When people smile, it brings light to an ozerwise blank day. Sometimes all it takes is one smile. I learned zat ze hard way. I do not ever talk about it. But ever since zat day I swore to become ze world's best entertainer in order to make ze entire world smile," Pierre says throwing his hands in the air towards the sun. They stop in front of a big wooden building. There is a big coin design with two swords going through it on the front. Inside the coin is a skull.
"Alright let's do this!" Jack is about to smash through the door guns blazing, but Pierre grabs his shoulder.
"I would not recommend zat. Zere are razer a lot of zem. Will you be alright?"
"Don't worry about it. I'm a trained professional," again, Jack is about to break down the door when it simply opens up and two men walk out. One of them is a tall slim and wearing a loose sleeved shirt. The other is a shorter muscular man with a bare chest and a tattoo across his chest. He has boxing gloves on his hands.
"We're here to take care of you three. So prepare for pain…" some people have started to gather around to see what was happening.
"Look honey. Someone are standing up to the pirates," a woman speaks.
"Wait. Isn't that Pierre?" Everyone starts talking about that it is him.
"You won't make it past the two of…"
"OUT OF MY WAY!" Jack yells and pushes them to the side with ease and runs inside. The doors shut behind him and he is faced with a big open room with tables and chairs all around. Almost every chair is occupied by a person staring at him.
"Where are Genie's legs!?" Each of them stands up and takes out a sword.
"I asked you a question!" They all start charging him.
Outside the two men have gotten up again and are preparing to attack Pierre and Mark. Mark takes Genie off his back and places her against a wall.
"Sorry, but I can't have you getting hurt now can I? Pierre! Protect Genie. If one of these guys get past me just try to hold him off until I can get to him," He says preparing to fight. Pierre stands beside him.
"Zey will not get past boz of us, no?"
"Are you sure? You said you never fought them before," Pierre flicks his hand and a napkin appears. He wipes his fore head with it and gulps.
"Well to be honest. I am very frightened right now. But do not worry about me young monsieur. Who will you battle?" Mark looks at him worried. He quickly shakes his head.
"How about I attack one of them and you go for the other one?"
"Bein. (Alright) You got it," Mark starts running towards the two of them. Suddenly the little man with the boxing gloves charge forward too fast for Mark to dodge. He uppercuts Mark and he flies upwards. The little man hooks him in the stomach when he comes down again and he is sent flying through the air straight past Eve and Pierre and the crowd of people who all move out of the way and create a circle around Mark.
"Mark! Are you alright?" Pierre says turning to look at him. The slim man runs forward and out of his sleeve comes a sword hilt. He flicks it and a sword blade folds out of it.
"Turning your back on an enemy Pierre? Not a smart move," Pierre turns around, puts his hand out in front of him, in surprise. The sword passes straight through him and he disappears in a cloud of smoke.
"Ah. I am a magician. My job is to make people zink zey see one zing when it is anozer," Pierre says standing behind him. Everyone looks impressed at the technique.
"Stupid tricks like that won't help you defeat me. 'folded sword' Dean," Pierre strikes a pose where his feet align and his hands are out to the sides.
"Well zat depends on what kind of tricks I have. Ze fun is just getting started ladies and gentlemen," Pierre takes off his hat and pulls out a staff. It is much bigger than the one he used during the magic show, but has a similar design. It is a little less than his height, but only by a head. He spins it a bit and prepares to fight again.
Mark rolls across the ground and gets to his feet. The boxer comes running with his hands ready in boxing position. He prepares for a left hook. Mark turns into his man beast form and punches him with the same, but he is much bigger so the man doesn't get his own punch in. He is flung back, but recovers quickly. The crowd is cheering Mark on.
"Finally someone is standing up to these guys. You go penguin man," A man in the crowd yells and the fight turns into a sort of boxing match.
"Another Zoan-type? Interesting. I am 'boxing' Don of the dollar dog pirates and you cannot defeat my superior boxing skills."
"We'll see about that," Mark tries hitting Don again, but he dodges under his arm and hits him with a series of quick jabs. Mark blocks one of his punches and holds onto his hand. Don tries punching with the opposite hand and Mark grabs onto that one too.
"What now boxer?" Don pulls Mark close while simultaneously headbutting him, causing Mark to let go of his hands. Don then hits him with a powerful uppercut. Mark rubs his jaw. He goes in for another strike. He attempts the same attack again and just as he thought, Don dodges in the same way again. Mark spins around quickly hitting him with his opposite hand sending him flying. Mark leaps forward turning into penguin form and slides across the ground. When Don gets up from the attack Mark is hastily coming at him. He turns into his man beast form again and hits Don into the ground. Mark picks him up and holds him by the shoulders. The crowd cheers at his advantage.
"Who's superior now?" Don moves his arms and punches Mark on both sides of his head at the same time causing him to let go. When Don lands, he hit Mark in the stomach with a powerful cross. Mark falls backwards and Don jumps onto him sitting on his chest pummeling him in the head. Everyone around them goes silent. After some time, Mark grabs his arms smashing him into the ground above his head, and gets up still a little wobbly. Don also gets up quickly and is ready again. He charges at Mark.
"Mark! Watch out!" Genie yells from her box he'd placed up against a wall. He concentrates and his wobbliness disappears for a moment.
"Enough of this!" Mark folds his hands and smashes Don in the head plowing him into the ground. He is stuck and knocked out. Mark becomes human again and collapses panting. He knows Genie is looking at him and he raises a fist with the thumb raised to signal that he is okay. The crowd yells in happiness at his victory.
"Phew. Not bad Mark. Still got it," He says to himself chuckling a bit.
Meanwhile Pierre is dodging Dean's attacks.
"Stop resisting. You'll die anyway in the end. You're as useless as your parents were!" Pierre blocks a strike with his staff. He then gets a flashback. Pierre's a little kid. He walks into the living room and sees his parents laying on the floor dead and a couple of pirates standing over their dead bodies. Pierre screams off the top of his lungs. The flashback ends.
"I blame myself for zat. So you people should really learn to mind your own business," Pierre pushes the sword to the side and spins around hitting Dean in the back of the head with his staff. While Dean is recovering, Pierre bows to the crowd who claps as if it is a magic show.
"I see you know a bit about fighting," Dean folds his sword back into a hilt. He charges Pierre again. Pierre tries hitting him again, but Dean blocks the strike with the hilt and repositions the sword hilt so it points directly at Pierre. Pierre swings his cape and disappears just as Dean pushes the button making his sword spring out again.
"Where'd you go this time?" He hears a noise behind him and spins around swinging his sword to block Pierre's attack.
"For someone who boasts about tricking people you're not doing a good job," he pushes Pierre's staff away and tries swinging at him. Pierre manages to just dodge the cut. He takes off his hat and shows him that it is empty. He then hits it with the back of his hand and some pigeons fly out of it out of nowhere. Everyone claps again. Dean looks after the doves as they fly away.
"What was the point of that?" When he looks again, there is a door behind Pierre. Pierre gestures for him to come at him. Dean folds his sword again. He starts running towards him. Pierre steps through the door and closes it behind him. Dean runs around the door and Pierre is nowhere to be seen. Dean opens the door just in case and when he does; Pierre pushes him inside from behind and closes it behind him. Dean is now in a box with three sections each with a question mark on it. Pierre pushes one of the sections out to the side and opens the cabinets. Dean is inside, but his torso is shifted from the rest of his body.
"What the hell did you do?" Pierre turns the cabinet towards the crowd and bows.
"Voila," He jabs Dean in the head with his staff knocking him out.
"And Zat is how you beat a pirate. Now let us get Genie's lower half shall we?" Everyone claps at his victory and he bows to all sides. He has the biggest smile on his face. He picks up Genie's body and carries her to Mark.
"Looks like you took quite ze beating," he says and Mark stands up.
"Don't worry about me. We need to help Jack," He starts limping towards the entrance to the pirates' hideout. Everyone makes way for them.
Inside Jack is in the middle of the room. He has activated 'black layer' and is looking around at all the unconscious pirates around him. He picks the last one up, who tries slashing him up with his sword. As it makes contact, it breaks in two making the pirate squirm.
"Where are her legs? Tell me or it'll be worst for yourself."
"I don't know what you're talking about man. I swear," Jack hears steps from the back room of the building. He throws the pirate to the side and he runs to a corner.
"So you're the little punk who's been messing with my crew. Everything was fine before you showed up," A small figure appears in front of him. It is Ted: the mayor of the town.
"You? But you were so nice to us when we arrived. What's going on?" Ted starts laughing.
"I've been with this town since the very beginning of its prosperity. Everyone trusts me and they don't even know I've been making the prices so low and then taking the money for myself just to waste their precious resources. They don't suspect a thing. But enough of that. Let's kill you," He starts growing like crazy and the colossal figure looks down on Jack. Jack jumps forward preparing to attack with his black fist.
A/N: What devil fruit do you think Ted has? How good do you think Pierre was at fighting? Thoughts and opinions? :-)
