One Piece: Rise of the Pirate Queen
Last time on One Piece: Rise of the Pirate Queen. Having landed one Pebble Shore Island and being separated, Akio and Lena had rescued Mika, as well as, Ryuudo, however, Tony and the rest of his crew mates had captured Nicole and made a hasty retreat. While Mika and Akio ran after Tony, Selena took on Kincad, peg-legged sniper of the Tony pirates. After a grueling battle, Lena was the victor. Meanwhile, Akio's battle was about to begin while Mika chased after Tony.
Mach vs. Feint. The Boy with the Straw Hat.
"Captain! We found him!" yelled a random sailor to the high ranking officer of the Celestial Representative's ship.
"Good, bring him aboard and let us leave this pirate infested island." replied the captain. The sailors came running from the cavern-canal carrying an unconscious Celestial Representative Joseph.
"Sir." addressed another sailor also coming from the cavern-canal.
"Yes, sailor."
"While looking for the representative, we came across a prison filled with marines from the recently sunk marine vessel. Do we have permission to rescue them."
"Of course, sailor." said the captain sternly. "Just leave out the details of why we are here."
"Aye, sir!" The sailor then went off to tell the other men about the newly instated rescue.
'At least we can come out of this as rescuers rather than slave holders' thought the captain disgusted by the fact that they were supporting slavery. If it weren't for the money, he would've left years ago.
"Get Away!" shouted Toby shaking in fear while holding one the explosive bullets that Lena gave him. He stood in between Ryuudo and and a few of the sailors.
"Kid, that's a Fishman. They can be very dangerous." said one of the sailors trying to calm the boy.
"Please, just come with us we'll take you back home." said the other sailor in the same manner.
"My home is on this island, and Ryuudo isn't dangerous." shouted Toby still shaking.
"You tell them kid." said Ryuudo lying against a rock, impressed that the kid is sticking his neck out for him.
"Shut up! Fishman!" hissed the sailor. The sailors soon began to take some more aggressive moves and went to grab Toby. Toby couldn't bring himself to throw the explosive bullet now shocked with fear.
***BANG***
"That will be enough, idiots." said Lena as her pistol was pointing up and smoking. The other one was pointing straight at the sailors. The sailors soon lost their aggressiveness and backed away from the boy and the wounded Fishman.
"Are you guys okay?" calmly said Lena as she painfully walked towards Ryuudo and Toby.
"Couldn't be better." sarcastically said Ryuudo.
"Hey! Less sass, more shut it." yelled Lena as she flopped down next to Ryuudo.
"Here, Ms. Lena." said Toby shyly. He was holding the bullets that Lena had given him earlier. Lena gave them a quick look over and smiled.
"Thanks, but you can keep them." Toby and Ryuudo immediately gasped in shock that she was letting a boy keep explosives.
"Oh! Don't worry, those aren't the real explosive bullets."
"What!" yelled both kid and Fishman.
"Really?" shouted back Lena giving the "ya right" look. "You really think that I would give a kid dangerous explosives."
"Then how the hell was he suppose to defend me with regular bullets!"shouted Ryuudo. Lena just shrugged causing Ryuudo and Toby to face-fault.
"Here yet me help you." said Lena as she scooted next to Ryuudo to check the bullet wound Ryuudo received from Lena's opponent.
"Are you a doctor?" questioned Ryuudo with caution.
"No." quickly replied Lena as she searched through her bag. "But I'm good with taking bullets out and basic first-aid." She then took out her materials for removing the bullet and handed a block of wood to Ryuudo.
"And this is for?"
"It's going to hurt. A lot."
Meanwhile back at the storage room.
"Come boy, let's see what you got!" yelled Tsukagi egging on the young teen into making the first move.
"Fine!" yelled Akio 'Let's make this quick'
"Mach Jab!" Tsukagi was unimpressed. As Akio neared Tsukagi at slight-blinding speeds, Tsukagi quickly stuck his foot out in a kicking motion. Seeing this, Akio halted his attack, however, his chest still made contact with Tsukagi's foot.
"Heh, gotcha."
"Wha?" Was all Akio could say until he heard a sudden clicking noise followed by a sharp pain in his chest. He quickly pulled away and looked at his chest, it was slightly bleeding.
"Looks like you got lucky." Confused, Akio looked at where he had received his injury. The man's boot had spikes protruding from his heel, about five inches out. Tsukagi chuckled. "Any closer and I could've punctured a lung"
"What a dirty trick."
"Hey, they don't call me the "Feint King" for nothing." evilly grinned Tsukagi.
"Whatever. Mach Combat!" said Akio with a bit of frustration. Immediately, Akio disappeared from Tsukagi's sight.
"Che-ha!" Akio came in with a punch to Tsukagi's left, however, he quickly dodged the punch. "What the!"
"Hm-pf. Pathetic." mocked Tsukagi.
"Shut up!" growled Akio and then disappeared again, but only to reappear behind Tsukagi. Tsukagi smirked and dodged the incoming punch. These various actions were repeated as Akio tried to land a hit on the Feint King, however, Tsukagi kept dodging each blow.
"How are you predicting my attacks?"
"Are you going to hit me anytime soon." yawned Tsukagi as he blocked Akio, who instantly disappeared.
'Damn! He really is a master.' "Are you gonna fight anytime soon, Geezer King." mocked Akio as he reappeared to Tsukagi's left and threw another punch though he was showing signs of exhaust.
"I'm not old!" shouted Tsukagi as he blocked though obviously ticked off. "And sure, I've been humored enough." Tsukagi grabbed onto Akio's arm and drew him closer to his body only to punch Akio in the stomach sending him into a stake of crates collapsing on top of him.
"Well that was fun." said Tsukagi as he dusted himself off.
***BOOOM***
"Uh oh. Looks like captain still in trouble. Better go help." Tsukagi then began casually walking away from from his previous battle until he was suddenly met with a gloved fist.
"Mach Jab." grinned Akio sending Tsukagi to the wall.
"Heh." slightly chuckled Tsukagi. "Well I'll be. Looks like your tougher than you look."
"I'll take that as a compliment." grinned Akio. 'Even though all those crates had nothing but clothes in them.'
"Take it however you want it." said Tsukagi confidently. "It won't do you much good."
"Pfft. Whatever." said Akio unconcerned about the older man's statement. He then got into fighting position and charged.
"Mach Right!" Akio swiftly disappeared from Tsukagi's view only to reappear to his left with his right fist aimed for his head. Before the attack could hit, Tsukagi had quickly discarded several smoke bombs. Akio continued his attack, but his fist never made contact with Tsukagi's face.
"What the! Where he go?" shouted Akio as he scanned all around, however, the smoke bombs had done their job in concealing his enemy.
"Oh, I could be anywhere." said Tsukagi's voice thru the smoke and echoing off .
"I could be here." Akio suddenly felt a blunt object go against the back of his head and immediately reacted only to fine nothing.
"Or here." The same object struck him this time in the back. From what Akio could tell it was a metal staff of some sort.
"Or here." Another strike came, this time in the stomach.
"Or even-"
"Mach Spin!"
Before Tsukagi could even strike, Akio began spinning using the momentum of throwing one of his punches at nothing. As he spun, he made contact with what was hitting him and deflected it. Surprised by the deflect, Tsukagi stumbled forward being lead by the deflected staff and ran right into Akio's gloved fist sending flying towards the crates, but fell short of them.
"Ha! Found you!" Even though he only had a general direction of where he flew due to there still being a lot of smoke.
"You just got lucky." shouted Tsukagi through the smoke. "Now comes the end game."
"Whatever, Geezer King." Akio then prepared himself for whatever older man would do. He kept checking his surroundings seeing that the smoke was starting to settle.
"Surprise!" Akio immediately turned around to see an incoming kick from Tsukagi. Akio threw his arms up in a blocking formation covering his chest. Tsukagi smirked. Akio soon heard a clicking noise and expected to see spikes. However, from the front Tsukagi's boot popped out a knife and drove it through Akio's gloves.
"Gah!" shouted Akio in pain. Tsukagi took advantage of Akio's lack of concentration, he retracted the knife and turned around to throw a spiked punch straight towards Akio's previous wound from the spikes.
"GAH!" screamed Akio as he felt the short spikes dig into his wound making it worse than the attack that caused it. Unfortunately for Akio, Tsukagi's attack still wasn't finished. Tsukagi finished his barrage of attacks with a swift kick to Akio's chest sending him again into another stake of crates this time filled with building materials.
"You see!"breathed Tsukagi. "No fighting style can beat my Feint style!" Feeling accomplished, Tsukagi gathered his metal bo staff, retracted it into a shorter version, and attached it to his belt. He then got back to his previous task of helping his captain.
"Too bad. The kid was rather good." said Tsukagi as he looked over to where Akio crashed. "Maybe in a few years he could-" Before Tsukagi could finish his sentence, the loud sound of crates and other junk being pushed off interrupted him. Double taking the pile of crates, Tsukagi was shocked to see the young teen, covered in bruises and wounds, now standing before him looking very serious.
"Alright." said Akio in a serious tone as he grabbed his straw hat dangling from his neck and placed it on his head shading his eyes in a serious matter. "Time to get serious" As he spoke, Akio also untied his damaged boxing gloves and let them fall to the ground.
"What makes you think that putting on a straw hat and losing your gloves will let you-" Before Tsukagi could finish his sentence, the gloves hit the ground with a loud thud making a small indent in the ground.
"What the-!" shouted Tsukagi in shock. "How much do those weigh!"
"I don't know?"
"How Could You Not Know!"
"They're pretty light."
"Light!"
"Whatever!" yelled Akio annoyed. "This is over."
"Oh! You're so sure." sarcastically mocked Tsukagi. "You don't even know what I could pull. You really want to risk it."
"I'm not afraid." said Akio once again in a serious tone.
He then moved his arms into a new position one that looked like an L-shape with his right arm with closed fist pointing towards the ceiling and his left arm also with a closed connecting with his right elbow. Tsukagi was confused by Akio's action and unbeknownst to him Akio was gathering the last of his energy preparing for one last attack.
"Maybe not." evilly grinned Tsukagi. 'Unknown to you, I have my last resort. There's no way he's fast enough to dodge it.'
"Done." Immediately, Akio rushed at Tsukagi with his left arm still in front of him and his right arm now tucked under his shoulder like the position of an upper-cut.
"But you sure are stupid." said Tsukagi finishing his previous sentence. In one swift movement, Tsukagi pulled a small pistol-like musket as long as his index finger that was concealed in his sleeve and aimed it towards the oncoming teen.
"Die, idiot!" Tsukagi took the shot with Akio only a few feet in front of him. However, with the bullet only mere inches away from, Akio moved his head inches away from said bullet, only grazing across Akio's cheek leaving a small cut. Dodging the bullet, Akio continued to Tsukagi only to stop right in front of him
"Hm-pf. Pathetic." smirked Akio as he used the same phrase as Tsukagi did earlier. Tsukagi couldn't move out of shock that the teen had dodged his bullet.
"Secret Mach Style: 3-Hit Kugi (Nail) Punch!" Akio's fist made connected with Tsukagi's stomach, however, this was more than a simple punch. The punch did not only hit once, but three times.
"GGGAAAHHHHHH!" screamed Tsukagi as he was sent backwards by the three consecutive punches into some crates collapsing on top of him.
"Master..(huff)..my..(huff)..ass." said Akio obviously tired. Akio then fell backwards having lost the energy to stand.
"Dammit. Looks like I overdid it a bit." huffed Akio as he finally fell to the ground now laying on his back.
'Looks like Mika's going to have to finish off Tony.'
Meanwhile, outside the escape tunnel.
"God! She's Relentless!" shouted Tony now safely outside the escape tunnel with Swellow and Nicole.
"Swellow! Did you put enough stuff in the way so that psycho bitch doesn't get us?" Swellow only shrugged honestly not sure if there was even enough stuff to stop Mika.
"Mmmm mm mmmm mmmmm mmmm mmm!" (Mika is sooo gonna kick your ass!) muffled Nicole.
"I don't know what you said, but I don't care. I've locked that door from the outside and it's reinforced. Not even that girl could break-"
"HHIIYYAA!" exclaimed Mika as she kicked said "reinforced" door right from it's hinges. Everyone was shocked at the amazing show of strength, except for Swellow.
"Finally, you stopped"
"Alright, girl you are really starting piss me off." said Tony regaining his composure.
"Like I care." said Mika with an unconcerned tone. "Let Nicole go!"
"No way!" shouted Tony. "This girl is worth her weight in gold and then some. With the ability to grow food materials for any dish as well as an amazing cooking ability with an added bonus of being able to control plants, I can take over island after island and create the Tony Empire!"
"But that's not what Nicole wants!"
"I don't care!" With that statement, Mika's hands began glowing with spark energy due to the anger she had against Tony. Tony saw this and took up his own battle stance.
"Spark Shotgun!"
"Jumbo Punch!"
TO BE CONTINUED...
Next time on One Piece: Rise of the Pirate Queen.
Lena: What was that?
Mika: What the hell!
Tony: What's wrong Princess. Your little sparks don't seem to be working. Cuhahahaha!
Mika: Akio's gonna hate me after this but...
Next time: I'm Not Backing Down! Spark Spark vs. Grow Grow.
Lena: Hey! Are you okay?
(Author's note:
A: Yo! I'm back, and I brought a (hopefully) better fighting scene to the table.
Drake: Jeez! What took you so long.
A: Well sorry, last week was dreadfully busy and this chapter had much to ironed out before I could release to the public.
Denji: Yay, Yay. Whatever, do you have something useful to say for once.
A: Do I?
Drake &Denji: -_-
A: Oh, yeah! First off, for those who don't have me on their author alert, I have posted up the first one-shot for the Omake Corner for this story. It's a father's day special, though if I don't get any good reviews from it i'll probably take that chapter down a replace it with the actual omake that I was planning to start it off with and re-edit for next year.
Denji: Why did you make a father's day special anyways?
A: I had writers bloke and it was father's day, so I decided to write up a one-shot. It actually helped a lot.
Drake: That's good to hear.
A:Oh! And another thing. Everyone that reads my story should go and look One Piece: Parallel Works by Oxenstierna D. Yuki-Rin. Her (I believe it's a her) OCs will be making an appearance in the near future. But also read it because it is a very good story. It's an original story with original characters. It also shows a different side of One Piece that we never will see in most One Piece fanfics. In most crews, mine is no exception, have like a couple of devil fruit eaters or some person that really stands out in a crowd (Franky is one example). This crew has zero devil users and are mostly like ordinary people with the exceptions of skills and past. Please read and review her work.
Denji: When did you start advertising?
A: Lay off! It is a really good story and it needs more people reviewing than just me.
Drake: Why are you the only one willing enough to review it?
A: Reviewing helps writers grow in their writings and gives them the inspiration to keep writing. One of the reasons why Chibi Vampire and a Werewolf hasn't been updated yet.
Denji: Hey! That's not true! Many readers many that story good.
Drake: True, and it does way better than your Hero's Untied story.
A: Yeah, I might delete that one.
Denji: Wouldn't hurt.
A: Whatever. And finally, I would like to thank Jhonie for allowing me to use his or her OCs. It may be a while, but i'll definitely use it. Suggestions for crew member (as long as it is a new position) and omake stories are still up, and I'm still answering SBS questions. Ja Ne!)
