A/N: Hey guys! First ark of the Grand Line... You know I never thought I'd reach this far... Okay I'm not going to continue this as it is not important. What is important though is that I changed Ray's nickname to "Crimson Death" instead of "Hell's King." Let's get Yo-yoin'!
A New Legend
The Frostolian Kingdom! part 1
Declaring "Competition" Against the Warlord: Floe Frazil!
"... And I'll use my "Blood Blaster" technique to make it even stronger!" It had been four days since The Dark Blood Pirates had left Reverse Mountain. Emerald, surprisingly most of the crew, was leading them to their next island like she had before. It was like she knew how to use the weird and confusing log pose. She even guided the ship through the chaos that is the Grand Line. Right now however, the bright blue waters were calm. The sun shining brightly as it greeted them warmly. Right now Ray, Kai, and Echo were coming up with combination techniques.
"No, no! You shouldn't, the risk that your blood crystals could interfere with Kai's explosive light is to much of a chance in a life or death situation." said Echo, putting Ray down. In the past four days, it had seemed that Echo had adjusted to the crew quickly, though he had tried to kill Sora many times. "Instead, you should use he explosion as a cover. When the light explodes, and it hits the opponent Ray could use the smoke as a camouflage and unleash a flurry of slashes or punches with your "Blood Knuckles" or "Blood Scythes" techniques."
"That could work." agreed Ray. Kai nodded his head and reached out a hand to pat Echo's head. Kai ruffled up his hair. A tick appeared on Echo's head.
"You're lucky, it's not raining." he growled under his breath.
"What should we name it?" asked Ray in wonder.
"How about Flashing Slashes or Bright Fists?" suggested Kai.
"Ohhhhhhhhh! Those are really good! Hey, at least your good for something!" said Ray with a laugh.
"What did you say Boogey Man?!"
"You heard me Kizaru!"
"Blackbeard!"
"Shut up!"
"No you shut up Ray!"
"I didn't say that, Idiotic Baby toy!"
"What the hell does that mean?!"
"I don't know!"
"You want to ask Charity for something to eat!"
"Sure!"
"Let's go then!"
"Okay!"
Echo sweat-dropped. "You guys have a very weird relationship..." Just when Ray and Kai were going to walk over to the kitchen, glaring at each other. Charity was twirling over to Ray and Kai with a very tasty looking snack. Their eyes lit up as drool started to slip from the corner of their mouths.
"Here you go, Ray-Khun, Kai-Swan! (Those aren't typos and yes I'm giving Kai the famous -swan suffix). They each took one and munched on it fast as they glared daggers at each other. Charity offered one to Echo, who took it happily, thanking her. she then twirled over to Calico who groaned deeply. He opened one eye to look at Charity, who had broken his meditative state of Enlightment.
While Calico was distracted by Charity, El took his katana and left a note. When Charity left, Calico closed his eyes. They shot open as he looked to where his katana was. A note there. "Oh shit." He took it and read it. "Note 4 out of 1,000: Come for this sword, you'll have to go through the minefield of deadly traps I have set up. Thank you and good day!"
"Cursed woman!" he shouted as he jumped to his feet and ran toward El's door and barely touching it before it squeaked open. He pushed it open to be greeted by absolute darkness. He entered as he felt multiple stings on his feet. He jumped back in pain and looked down. Mouse traps were clamped to his feet. He took them off as he cursed. "I rather go through what ever El had left then getting tortured by that whore of a co-captain because the curse on my sword kills El."
Luna was doing everything in her power to gain Sora's trust. "Come on, Sora. It's a barrel of fish! You love fish and I'm giving you this for your trust, I know you want it!" Sora peeked out from the mast and shook his head. "I'm not going to hurt you!"
"I don't want to suffer like how Emerald makes Ray suffer." Sora said in quiet whisper. Luna sighed as she had run out of ideas. "You're not going to hurt me because I said that, right?"
"I now know how Ray feels. It hurts." Luna crouched in a corner and poked at the deck. Sora felt bad, but that was gone as his thoughts were taken to the barrel of fish.
"Now my chance!" he whisper shouted. He slowly crept toward the barrel of fish, keeping a close eye on Luna. He grabbed the barrel and slowly dragged it. "Slowly... Slowly..."
The smell entranced Sora as fish replaced his eyes as he looked at the fish. He bumped into something that snapped him out of his thoughts. He slowly turned his head to see Luna. "Where do you think you're going?" Sora laughed nervously.
"Uhhhh, ITU HELP ME! I DON'T WANT TO DIE!" Sora let go of the barrel and ran toward Itu and hid behind him. Sora's screaming gained his attention as he patted his head. He had been watching the sea and was thinking about how Ray mentioned he used to be a slave. It made his blood boil. Luna returned to the corner.
"I'm becoming Emerald..." Luna said in a sad voice.
"What was that!?" Emerald shouted, pissed off. Luna ignored her as a depressing atmosphere surrounded her.
Chris was helping Emerald navigate and that's pretty boring so let's move on.
The ship then rattled violently as the ship started moving faster. Everyone stumbled and freaked out. "What's going on?!" shouted Chris as she looked around. Her answer and everyone else's were immediately answered as a ship a bit taller and bigger than the Flaring Moon crashed the tail of the caravel. El of course ran out of her room, tossed the beaten up and bloodied Calico his sword, and ran out. Calico turned his had slowly as he cursed El. He took a step backward and a fist made of rock smacked him across the face. He fell on the floor and groaned. "Fuck... that... woman..."
El didn't ask questions as she ran to the back of the ship and tried to fix it. The ship that crashed into them stopped moving and the Flaring Moon sailed away from the ship softly. The crew ran to the back of the ship and up at the ship. A jolly roger was seen swaying in the air. Five men walked to the front of the boat and made eye contact with the crew.
"You bastards! I'm going to kick your asses!" shouted Ray and made one step before being restrained by Itu. "Let go of me! I need to kick these guy's asses for what they did the Flaring Moon!"
"Calm down, Ray. It was probably just an accident." said Itu, unknowingly going to eat those words in a few seconds.
"Hey, little shits!" This aggravated Ray, Kai, Echo, Emerald, Calico who had crawled there, Charity, and Chris. "Get the hell out of our way or we'll smash your ship in pieces! We have a delivery to make in three days and if we're late, we get no funds, and if we get no funds, the boss will end our lives!"
Sora joined in with the group that was aggravated. Luna still trying to gain Sora's trust just squeezed herself into that group. Itu was calmly observing the five men. "Everyone, judging by their appearances, they are at least as strong as marine captains and soldiers." Informed Itu.
Ray smirked devilishly. "Then let's give them a full course marine meal." Charity twirled next to Ray with hearts.
"So cool..."
"I bet I can take out more than you!" shouted Ray as he cut down three goons. Kai glanced at Ray as he punched two goons with light before shooting a light explosive at a group of goons. "In your dreams!" After that statement, the religion based duo was at it again.
Calico was easily cutting down 10-15 goons at a time but he made a "tch" sound when he saw Itu barely even swing his scythe and a giant blue flying slash flew across the boat, taking out a good 20 goons.
Emerald and Chris were surprisingly working well together but that was trap. In their minds, they were competing against each other. In Chris' mind, she was going to make Emerald make so many emeralds that when she sold them, she would earn so much money. In Emerald's mind... Let's not explore her mind.
Charity was only kicking the very few girl goons overboard, yeah not very fun. Let's move on! Sora had copied Luna's devil fruit power and fought while trying to stay away from her. Luna was fighting out of depression.
Echo was reigning hell. "Be more creative! Then you will have the strongest techniques at your disposal!" He shouted as he went "KA-POW" on a goon's ass. It was very clear to the crew that he was good at making techniques for himself and other people. He was a technician that could make very strong and useful techniques for anyone.
El was busy fixing up the back of the Flaring Moon. She finished it quite fast and decided to join the battle. When she got on board the boat, bodies piled up were in the middle of the deck with Ray sitting at the top. "Sorry El. Too many of us were up here already."
El was disappointed but it didn't matter to her when the ringing of a transponder snail was heard. It was soft and quiet. It came from what seemed to be the leader's jacket pocket. Ray jumped down and took it out to reveal a mini transponder snail. "Pello, pello, pello, pello." It rang softly.
"Ray, you shouldn't answer that." said Emerald with concern.
"Hello." Ray said as he received the call.
"Why did you answer!?" shouted Emerald in anger.
"It's me, Frazil. What did you call me for?" answered a female voice.
"You called me." answered Ray.
"No, before you called me. What is it? I'm very busy right now!"
Ray paused before answering. "Are you the boss?"
A slight pause came from the other end. "Who is this?"
"Ray."
"Ray? And who is this "Ray?"
"Talon D. Ray."
"Talon D. Ray... And why are you on one of my cargo ships?"
"They said they were going to destroy our ship so we destroyed them."
"I see... Well Ray, do you know who I am?"
"No."
"Well I'm one of the warlords of the sea, Floe Frazil."
"So."
"I am also the owner of a very famous company that sells ice."
"Okay. Why should I care?"
"You should care. Anyone... ANYONE who interrupts my business will be destroyed!"
"Okay."
"But first I must confirm. Are you seeking out to destroy my company?"
Ray paused for a second. A tick mark appeared on his forehead. He started to mumble. That got the crew worried. He then took in a deep breath. "You said you were a warlord right?"
"Yes."
"Then yes I am going to destroy your company... No I'm going to destroy your very EXISITANCE!"
"You're going to destroy me. Are you serious?"
"I'm very serious. Just because you're a warlord is the only reason why I want to destroy you."
"You want to destroy me because of my title."
"Yeah! You're a coward! And now that I'm a pirate, I can finally do these kind of things!"
"*Chuckles* You seem like a very funny person. I would love to see you in person, in fact why don't you come here."
"I don't know where you are."
"One of my henchmen has a compass that points to where I am."
"Great."
"I look forward to meeting you, "competition."
"Same."
The snail made a sound that signified the end of the call. Ray dropped the snail as he stiffened his right hand. A loud cracking sound resonating. He looked up at his crew. "Guess what guys. We have a little "competition" to beat. So Emerald, please take us to our destination." Ray said hysterically.
It creeped out the crew as most of them had never seen Ray look so... like how he did. Even Emerald was a bit hesitant to protest. Ray glared at the henchman. "I know you guys are still conscious. Give me the compass and no one dies, no not hurt, DIES! So I suggest giving it to me before I cut your guy's heads off."
The one at the top groaned before falling down and landing at Ray's feet. He groaned again as he reached inside his pocket and fished out an hourglass looking compass. Ray took it. He looked at it and smirked. "Have you guys ever been to a kingdom?"
The crew made a confused sound. Ray tossed Emerald the compass. "Also, might want to wear some jackets when we get there." Ray jumped onto the Flaring Moon. Emerald looked down on the wood at the bottom. Carved letters were visible there.
"Frostolian Kingdom?"
A/N: Well, we get to battle a warlord and get to go to a kingdom, yeah! And I swear, I didn't steal this from One Piece, I literally thought of this a couple days ago without the thought of Alabasta in mind. Oh yeah, Thomas Drovin the creator of Charity is also the creator of Frazil! Thank you so much, man! Thanks for reading and see you guys later! Please review!
