A New Legend

The Tiger Pirates! part 6

The Fight Between Captains and the New Crewmates!

Ray raised a clenched fist up to his face. Blood, a deeper shade of red, flowed out of his wounds and surrounded him. "Let me show you why you're going to die. The Demon-Demon no mi - Model Satan."

Two giant black wings sprouted out of his back and two black horns also grew out of the top of his head. The darker blood covered his arms and legs, creating armor. He also grew a couple inches. He also grew some muscle but not enough for it to be bulging. The blood that remained floating started forming into a moving ring that surround Ray's lower torso. Three smaller blood rings also surrounded each of his arms. Ray smirk turned into a grin, revealing the canine part of his teeth to be very sharp.

"I'll give you the first hit." Ray said smugly. A tick mark formed of Tora's forehead. "A tick isn't going to hurt or frighten me. Try another tactic."

Tora vanished and appeared in front of Ray about to slash his torso. "Die!" The ring around Ray closed in on Ray about an inch before quickly expanding, striking Tora in the stomach. Tora blasted back as bile was released out of his mouth.

"I can't believe you fell for that! Do you not see this ring around me? It's here for a reason!" Ray mocked. Tora, clutching his stomach, glared at Ray. "I going to chop you up and eat you!" Tora vanished once more and appeared above Ray before stabbing his claws toward Ray's head. Ray snapped both of his arms up and grabbed Tora's wrists. "Caught you again." Ray then slammed Tora down into the wood of the boat. Tora yelled out in pain and cracks appeared in the wood beneath him. "Cannibalism is gross."

Ray kicked Tora's chest and sent him flying back. "Eight minutes left." Noted Ray as he stared at Tora who was heaving. "I need to finish this quick." Ray appeared in front of Tora who was on his hands and knees and raised his fist high in the air. The blood rings started spinning faster. "Fist of Satan!" Ray slammed his fist and struck the back of Tora's head. The rings shot forward and made contact with the head, blasting Tora in the wood of the ship. Tora grunted in pain as three new blood rings formed around Ray's arm. Ray then picked up Tora by the neck and slammed him into the ground several times before throwing him into the deck hard enough for Tora to bounce back up. Ray then kicked him with his right foot, shooting him to the left side of the boat where Calico, El, and Luna was. (I definitely didn't forget Luna in the previous chapter... What are you talking about?)

El looked at Tora in shock, seeing his beat up and bloody body. She looked over to Ray to see him, different... Demonic. Calico glanced at Ray before glancing at Tora. "Hm." Luna, on her knees with the sea prism handcuffs, also looked at Ray and jumped. Emerald stared at Ray in disbelief before face palming. "That idiot!" Sora was still panting as blood leaked out of all four wounds. Emerald heard this and remembered the horrible shape Sora was in. She freaked out and looked around the deck for anything, she found nothing of use.

Ray stared at Tora in caution. "Seven minutes..." Tora grunted and started rising again. El not wanting to leave Calico, as he would bleed more than he already was, stayed and looked at Ray before glancing at Tora. Ray nodded and appeared in front of him, Tora vanished just before he could attack again. Tora appeared a couple meters behind Ray and was slouching forward. Blood was dripping from his fingertips and nose. Ray turned to see him take off his sword-claws and throw them aside. Tora slowly chuckled and looked at Ray straight in the eyes. He was different. His eyes had a wild, crazy look to them.

"It's been six years since someone forced me to use my devil fruit power..." Orange, white, and black fur started growing from Tora's body. His finger tips grew into sharp claws. His body mass grew exponentially. (Yes, this is how you spell it) A tail grew out of his body as his eyes turned into a messy yellow color. His pupil became straighter. "The Tiger-Tiger no mi - Model Tiger!"

Ray sweat-dropped. "You do know that you have a generic power that probably doesn't even increase your chance of winning, right?" Tora grinned as disappeared once more. "Still cocky eh!" Tora appeared in front of Ray and started slashing wildly at Ray. Ray blocked the scratches with his arms but he was still getting cut. "Of course he would be faster and stronger."

Tora slapped one of Ray's arms and drew back his other arn and swung it, his claws dug into Ray's torso area. Ray held back a yell as he was knocked back far. "Augh!" Ray landed on his feet and shot a blood crystal at Tora who dodged it. Ray jumped to the side as Tora attacked him once again. The ring around Ray then expanded fast. "Blood Explosion!"

Tora jumped up, avoiding it and clawed at Ray once more. Ray blocked it with his arm, but was knocked back, his feet skidding on the wood. "Four minutes... I need to finish this quickly!" Ray flapped his wings and took off into the air. He then covered himself with his wings and rocketed toward Tora. Ray started spinning. "Black Torpedo!"

Tora swung his right arm but Ray struck his chest first. Tora roared in pain and he crashed into the ground. Ray bounced off of Tora and started flying again. He then started shooting blood crystals at Tora. He started shooting them faster and Tora roared louder. "Blood Storm!"

El started worrying as she saw the blood come out of Ray's body. "He's using too much blood!" El opened her mouth to shout but Calico interrupted her. "He would've fell dead by now."

El closed her mouth but was nervous. Ray kept shooting and Tora took them all roaring louder and louder. Tora then closed his mouth and forced his yells in and struggled to stand up. Tora with great effort got on a kneeling position. Ray stopped shooting and swooped down toward Tora and punched him in the abdomen. "Fist of Satan!"

The rings blasted forward shooting Tora off the boat and onto the rocky shore of the island. Ray cursed to himself as he realized Tora didn't fall into the sea. "Shit! I only have two minutes left!"

Ray jumped off of the ship and aimed a kick at Tora. Tora rolled out of the way despite his body protesting against it. Ray crashed into the ground, creating a small crater. He stared at Tora who was on a kneeling position panting heavily. Blood ravaged his fur. "I-I-I won't lose to a brat like you!" Ray closed the gab between them and gave a hard kick to nose, blasting him back.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah! I've heard all before!" Ray shouted as Tora began to get back up for the umpteenth time. "Err, one minute left. Why won't this guy just stay down?"

Tora chuckled as he stood up. He started limping toward Ray as he muttered something. "I'm... going... to kill... you... I... won't.. fall until... I kill... you..." Ray closed the gap between them again and gave him a hard uppercut, the rings shooting up. "Uppercut of Satan!" Tora rocket up into the sky and Ray flew up above Tora and dropped kicked him in the abdomen. Tora coughed blood as he crashed into the ground. Ray landed felt a cool breeze on his right leg, the leg he used to rop kick Tora. "Crap! Time's almost up!"

He looked at Tora who was standing again, a smirk plastered on his face. "He's still standing!" Tora started limping over to Ray as Ray's wings vanished. Ray started running toward Tora. "I have to finish him in this one last attack!" The blood armor on his other leg liquefied as he ran. The ring around his torso also fell to the floor. "My vision's getting blurry and I'm losing strength!"

Ray's horns and muscles started retracting. He also grew shorter. He was close to Tora. "C'mon arms, last a little longer." The rings around Ray's left arm dropped to the floor as well as the blood armor. He was no more then a step away. He felt the blood on his right arm start to fall. (I love me some dramatic, predictable last move type of thing)

Tora swiped at Ray weakly and he avoided and cocked his fist back. He summoned six blood crystals and surrounded his fist with it. Darkness started seeping into his vision. "Shotgun Fist of Satan!" Ray blasted his fist forward and struck Tora in his right ribcage. A fairly loud cracking sound resonated from the spot. The blood crystals and rings shot forward and blasted Tora back as blood escaped his mouth. Tora crashed into the rocky shore hard. His body started transforming into his normal human body. He was defeated.

Darkness covered Ray's vision and he fell forward. He crashed into the floor as the blood armor on his right arm liquefied and spread out over the rocks and pebbles of the shore. "Mental note to self. Make sure you get Sora and Luna's asses on the Flaring Moon." He muttered.

Emerald started panicking again. She picked Sora up and ran toward El and the others and practically dropped him before jumping ship and running to Ray's side. El sweat-dropped but panicked when she heard Sora groan. She couldn't handle his wounds too so she decided to free Luna. El ran over and played with the handcuffs but they didn't come off. She freaked out but her attention was obtained by Calico when she heard him call her. She looked over to see a key in his hand. She decided to ask later and took it. She freed Luna and El didn't give Luna time to recover as she dragged Luna toward the two injured males.

Emerald kicked Ray in the face as she held her right arm that was stabbed by Tora, cursing him. "You idiotic mother- *sigh*" Emerald stopped kicking Ray. His face was just a red bump, but he didn't react. "At least you aren't critically injured."

Two days has passed since the Tiger Pirate's defeat. The crew were resting in a house that the villagers let them rest in.

Ray slowly opened his eyes to reveal a new atmosphere around him. He sat up and stretched. He looked down to see bandages wrapped around him. He looked around to see he was in a house of sorts. He got out of bed, semi-prepared for an enemy to jump out and do some "KA POW" on his ass. He spotted a door and opened it. He walked through and the crew were sitting around in a large room in front of him.

"Oh thank god. I thought someone was going to go "KA POW" on my ass." Emerald walked over to Ray and punched him in the face hard. Ray slowly started falling back. "Never mind. Someone did go "KA POW" on my ass..." Ray fell and groaned. Ray wanted to yell at Emerald, but he was too weak to. Ray got back up and walked past Emerald. "And a good morning to you too."

"It's not morning! It's the evening!" shouted Emerald. Ray sat down next to Calico who seemed to be meditating. "And you've been sleeping for two days!" Ray blinked and yawned. Calico sighed and braced himself. "That's cool."

Calico opened one eye and looked at Ray in surprise. Ray looked at Calico. "Your ears are safe for now." Emerald eye twitched. "That's your response! We all thought you were dead!"

"You thought Ray was dead." corrected El as she walked over to the group. "Okay now that Ray is awake it's questioning time!"

Sora, who was nibbling on a fish, perked up and walked over to the group. "Questioning time!"

At that exact moment Luna walked in through what seemed to be the front door that was on the opposite side of room from where Ray was sitting. "Hey how is Ray-" Luna started before she noticed Ray. "Oh."

"Luna come! It's questioning time!" said Sora cheerfully. Ray sweat-dropped and looked at Emerald. "You're the one answering the questions." she mouthed. Ray sighed.

As soon as Luna sat down next to Sora, El got started. "Okay so let's start off with the question on everybody's mind. Your power to manipulate your blood is the power of a paramecia type, I'm pretty sure you know that." Ray nodded. "But you also have the power of a Zoan, care to explain that?"

Ray sighed deeply. "I ate a duel type devil fruit." Everyone except Emerald looked at him curiously. "Let me explain. A duel type devil fruit is as the name suggests a devil fruit that gives powers of two classes. I have the power of a Zoan and Paramecia. Now you might be asking "Why have we never heard of this?" Because these are rare fruits. Only three have been discovered. Mine is one of them though only you guys and I now about my duel type devil fruit. Oh yeah, and this other guy knows about it too. The World Government has one too. Don't ask me how I know that. I'm not sure about the third one though. The World Government of course is hiding the fact about these duel type devil fruits and I'm guessing the other guy is too."

El seemed to take it as an answer. "Okay, so how come you slept through two days after using your Zoan power?" Ray shrugged. "One of the defects a guess."

El seemed to be more curious. "What are the defects of both your powers?" Ray thought for a bit. "My Paramecia side has one defect. I run out of blood, I can't use that power. My Zoan had multiple. I can only use it for ten minutes before I black out, and I sleep for a long time as it takes a big toll on my body afterwards. I also don't have to worry about running out of blood as for some reason a generate blood 15x faster than a regular person does."

"You have a really cool devil fruit!" commented Sora smiling happily.

Ray sighed and stood up. "If that's all, let's get off this island and continue our adventure!" Ray walked toward the door and he opened it. A loud growl resonated from his stomach and he looked at the crew. "After we eat!"

The moon was rising as stars twinkled in the night sky. At the shore, The crew was already on the ship except for Ray, Luna, and Sora. Ray was walking toward the ship and he glanced at Sora and Luna. "Aren't you guys coming?" Sora lit up. "I can come!" Ray smiled and nodded. Sora wasted no time and was on the deck in seconds. Ray looked at Luna.

"I can't. I have to protect my village. So I think this is where we part ways." Sora said as politely as she could. Ray sighed deeply. "I knew that was what she was going to say..."

"Luna go." Ray and Luna looked at the source of the voice to see the elder and the villagers. "Luna go with them."

Luna faced them and shook her head. "No, I'm going to stay here and protect this village!"

"You've done enough Luna. We are grateful you have protected us but can take care of ourselves now. We want you to explore the world!" explained the elder. Luna shook her head no started protesting. "I can't. I owe all of you and this is the only way I-"

The elder cut her off. "If you still feel the need that you owe us then grant us one wish. We all want you to explore the world and not stay here in this cramped island for the rest of your life. So please do us a favor and explore the world, let your wings grow." The villagers nodded their heads in agreement.

Luna didn't respond. She just nodded. "O-okay. I'll... Explore the world then." Luna turned and sprouted wings and got on board. Ray looked at the villagers. "Make sure she's safe and is always happy. If she isn't, we'll all come after you. Got that?" Ray smirked and nodded before boarding the ship and the crew raised anchor and lowered the sail. A tail wind blew and drifted the Flaring Moon away from the island.

Ray walked up to Luna, who was looking at the island. "You don't want to say good bye?" Luna didn't respond. Then they both heard yelling. The crew walked over next to Luna and Ray and looked out toward the island.

"Bye Luna!"

"Be safe!"

"Visit us whenever!"

"We'll miss you!"

The villagers were waving and shouting good byes. Tears started streaming down Luna's face. She raised her hand and waved. "Good bye everyone! Thank you all for everything you all have done for me! I'll be back soon!"

The crew smiled as Luna finished her good byes. She wiped away her tears. The elder shouted something at Ray. "Remember our promise!" Ray smirked and nodded. "I will!"

Ray turned and toward the endless sea and pointed toward it. "Okay Cross Demon Pirates! Let's set sail!"

The crew turned toward Ray in surprise. "What did you call us?"
