Bar a Fight and Move:

"Hey, hey, I didn't say anything about joining no pirate crew." Tengen said as he started backing off the ship. His dad, from totally getting off the ship, stopped him.

"And who said you weren't? Face it Tengen, you don't fit here. You need to look outside of Monju Island." Sanget said as he patted his son on the shoulder. That just seemed to be the wrong move.

Tengen grabbed the hand on his shoulder and flipped Sanget over, aiming to slam him onto the deck. That didn't happen as Sanget planted his feet on the deck instead. "You know I deal with bar fights all the time, this is nothing." He said as he stood straight up and flipped his son over his shoulder. Tengen also landed feet first, but now the two of them were facing each other in a handshake of death grip, neither giving out. I sighed. I walked over and grabbed both of their wrists with a vice like grip until they both let go.

"What's the big idea?" Tengen snapped at me.

"The idea is, is that I would like a navigator to come along. If I don't, I'm likely to die not two days in. And right now, I only have you as an option. Now, I'll give you an ultimatum." This seemed to gain Tengen's attention. "We have a one-on-one fight. I want a feel for how you work out as a fighter, the seas won't be kind. If you lose, you come onto my crew, no mumbling or grumbling. If I lose, you can ether stay here, or become captain."

"What!" I heard as a simultaneous yell from about everyone.

"You can't just gamble away being the captain!" Gunny exclaimed.

"I won't follow a brute like him." Marci said, glaring at Tengen.

"Son, think about what you're doing." My dad said, placing a hand on my shoulder.

"Deal." Tengen said.

"Then it's on now." I grinned evilly as I shoved Tengen straight over the side of the boat back onto the pier. I let go of Sanget and ran straight after Tengen. I jumped off the boat and was faced with Tengen's fist flying to my face. I raised my arms into a cross block and hardened. Even condensed, I moved at least two feet back. I wasn't wrong when I assessed Tengen to be strong. When I brought my arms down, I could see he was shaking his hand he had just punched me with.

"Punched quite a few things, haven't you?" I said.

"Shut up." He growled at me and charged again, but this time I was ready. I raised my arms for another cross block, but at the last second, I dissolved my legs and passed right under him. After he passed over me, I stood back up and elbowed him in the back of the head. He stumbled a bit and turned back to me, growling. "That was cheap."

"I didn't put any rules to this fight, now did I?"

"You're right, you didn't." He smirked and smashed his foot against the boards of the pier. The board he happened to hit was the one my left foot was on, making me stumble, giving Tengen enough time to run up and punch me in the face. That is, if my face had still been there to punch.

I had seen him coming and I had panicked. And without my concentration, I fell apart like I did on day one. I felt the entirety of Tengen's body pass through me, and I felt something weird. I felt the sensation of him going through me like I did when Gunny had tried to pistol whip me, but there was something else, like an intent.

I drew myself back together and faced Tengen. He had stumbled a bit from not making a connection, but he adjusted quickly. Now we were in the opposite positions from a second ago, and an idea popped into my head. I raised my right leg to slam down onto the board, and Tengen saw it coming, he adjusted himself sideways so the board would fly loose without disrupting him.

What actually happened is that I placed my foot back down and flipped up the singular board Tengen was standing on, throwing him into the air, straight at me. I didn't wait for him to meet me. Before he could hit the ground, I extended my upper body to meet him in midair and clothes lined him. He went with the blow and tried to grip at my arm, but it wasn't there for him to grab. Tengen fell back to the ground on his back. I promptly sat on his chest, fully condensed; I probably weighed as much as twice as him, at least.

"Give up yet?" I asked.

"I'll only give up when I'm unconscious!" He yelled as he tossed me off of him. I landed on solid ground with a small impact crater. The guy was stronger than I gave him credit for. He was also a lot denser than I gave him credit for, because he started rushing me again. I just phased through him one more time, and the same 'intention' passed through me. I turned to face him, and he punched me right in the face.

It hurt! I had never been in an honest to goodness brawl before, and this was probably going to be the first of many, but I think I heard my nose crack. How was this even possible? I was a Logian class user! Nothing was supposed to be able to touch me. Even if I hadn't reacted in time, I still should have flexed to his punch.

I spat and could see blood; I could taste its metalicness. I was right, that hit had smashed my nose, but I was glad to know that I could fix it. Tengen started rushing me now, but instead of hoping to phase through them, I started dodging. I don't know what he did to hit me dead on, but I didn't want it happening again. We were backing up, and heading straight for the water.

Maybe he wasn't as dense as I thought. But that didn't mean that I would be outwitted that fast. When we were about ten feet away from the end of the dock, instead of dodging, I set up another cross block. I could see he was throwing in more power to knock me back further, but just before contact, I opened a hole in the middle of my arms and moved my head to the left. He missed entirely, but before he could withdraw, I closed my arms around his. He came in for a chop at my arms, but I opened up again for him to hit himself. He winced, and I left his arms in one of the stiffer concoctions I had come up with while I had been trying to make a rope to tie up Bucky's crew.

I knew it wouldn't hold long, but a few seconds were all I needed. I hooked my leg behind his and swept up, in the process sweeping my leg through his to leave the same the constraint between them. When he was dazed and on his back, I connected the two constraints so he was hog tied, and threw him into the water. He might be strong, but without some sort of balance point to struggle, it was going to a bit harder.

I went over and saw a few bubbles coming up. I was sure Tengen wasn't going to drown, but just in case, I started weaving together a net to fetch him out. Hopefully, seawater wouldn't affect anything I made into dissolving if it was outside my power. It then hit me, if it did dissolve, Tengen would be up immediately. After a full two minutes, I was done with my net and Tengen started bobbing up. I tossed in my net, and it didn't dissolve as well, so I dragged Tengen up.

He was still hogtied, so I undid them and his limbs flopped down, useless.

"You ungrateful little bastard!" Sanget yelled from behind me. I didn't even need to turn to know he was about to hit me. He kept swinging and kicking, but they all phased through. "I introduce you to my son and you drown him? I'm going to have your head!" He kept yelling, even as he tired himself out.

But I knew Tengen wasn't dead, not yet at least. I could still feel him living, so I probed my hand over his body. After I found the sweet spot, I hit him as hard as any normal person would have. He coughed up the water and stared around groggily.

"I guess you win, captain." Tengen wheezed, then promptly passed out

…

I had Chopper take a look at Tengen, and he said that he would be fine after he got a bit of sleep. I asked if he could see if Tengen had a Devil Fruit, but Chopper said the only real way to confirm if someone had a power would be to ask the people themselves, and Sanget said he had never seen his son do anything extraordinary, so I dropped it. Sanget said he would stay beside his son until he woke up, so I left him in the infirmary.

"That was really reckless son." My dad said as I came back out onto the deck.

"I know, but I felt like it was the only way to convince Tengen." I sighed as I leaned over the edge of the boat. I glanced around and didn't see anyone else around. "Where did everyone else go?"

"Your mother took dad home, but she'll be back to see you off. Gunny and Marci said they had a few things to grab from their old ship. And the Straw Hat crew went back to their own ship to set off for tomorrow."

"I see." But then I perked. "Dad, I need to go home."

"Why's that?"

"Well, I'm going to have to wear something else besides this fisherman's getup. And having something warm to wear wouldn't hurt. It would probably also be a good idea to have something to sleep under, it's not like Franky decked the ship out with every single last detail." I said as I left to go get my own stuff.

"But you already have- ugh, no reasoning with that kid." My dad sighed as he went back to check up on Sanget.

…

One short trip to my house later, I'm back to my ship (Really should find a name for her). I said my goodbyes to Grandpa and Mom, just so she wouldn't have to make the trip back up north, but she insisted on coming. I could see Gunny and Marci milling around the deck, actually getting a bit to mushy for my own tastes.

"Eh hem!" I announced my presence, making both of them turn to attention. I did notice however that they were still holding hands. "How was getting your stuff?"

"It was no real problem." Gunny said. "And with the money we got from the crew, we started up our food supply. We should be good for a year!" Then it hit me, we don't have a cook!

I think they both could read my mind, because they both smiled. "Don't worry Cymond." Marci said. "I'm a great cook." I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is Tengen up yet?" I asked as I boarded the ship.

"He sure is." Gunny smirked.

"Ok, what did you do to him?" I asked, not to happy with the look on Gunny's face.

"Nothing, nothing. You should just go down and see him. I'm sure he's still in bed." Gunny said.

"How long has he been awake?"

"About half an hour." Marci replied, also getting the same smirk as Gunny.

"And he's still in bed?"

"Just go see." They both said. I was thoroughly curious now. By the time I got down there, though, I had to try really hard not to laugh.

Sanget was absolutely smothering his son. He wasn't crying, but I'm sure he had been, both of their shirts were soaked at the shoulders, but his son couldn't break the bear hug he was in. And seeing as he had thrown me, being twice his weight, was impressive. I could also see what I guess was Tengen's stuff, because there were defiantly things in the room that hadn't been there when I had left. Let's just say, there was more than one case of clothes.

"Um, if I may interrupt?" I said tentatively. Sanget immediately dropped his son and turned to me. I could see Tengen mouth me a silent 'thank you'. "If I could talk with my navigator, alone?"

"Oh, uh, sure thing Captain Cymond." Sanget said as he left. 'Captain Cymond' did sound a little impressive, but I didn't feel like I had quite earned it yet. But I would just bring that up later.

"So, what do you want captain?" Tengen asked defeatedly. I don't think he liked losing to me.

"Cymond will be fine Tengen." I said as I walked over. "Are you really as good a navigator as your dad said?"

"He drilled everything he knew into me. I bet I could navigate a boat halfway around the world and still know where I was." Tengen said proudly.

"Well then, welcome aboard Tengen. Welcome to the Carbon Copy Pirates." I said as we shook.

Like Cymond said, I really need a name for the boat, because, let's face it, I'm kind of running dry on names. So help out and post a name or PM me. Thanks.
