(Author stuff: )

For a reminder I DO NOT own the setting of one piece, the character I made I do own (abadan, karl, etc) but fundamentally the setting they live in and character aspect (races like fishman or powers like devil fruits) is owned by oda.

Abadan wakes up from his alcohol induced sleep to find himself on being dragged on the ground tied up by rope and no sword, Abadan exclaims "WOW! I never thought it would prove myself wrong but-"

lyta yells at Abadan to "shut it!" he looks over to his captor and sees her with a piece of paper in her hand and a large back over her back.

Abadan is then suddenly pulled up by the red head by the rope and is jolted to his feet facing at the town hall turned pirate base.

the town hall is a large red brick structure with 3 stories not including the roof, it is raised off the ground and has a small thing of stairs leading up to the door, but since it was taken over by pirates the windows are boarded up, the town hall sign has been covered by a sign that says "formen" in bright white paint, and a pirate who is a bald guy sporting the builder pirates of yellow and grey colors in an wifebeater and shorts along with a construction hat with the builder pirate's jolly Rodger, in his hands is a buzz saw spear and when he spots the two of them the fishman points his spear and says "ho de ell r u?"

lyta with a sly look says "well, I was the person who stole the map, this guy hired me to do it… buuuut he short changed me at the last second."

Abadan was about to protest but the man yells up to the roof saying "EY BOOS, REED ED LEDY GAME BAK!"

A fishmen jellyfish fishmen come to the edge and yells "WHAAAAT!"

"E SID, RUB ED LUDY CEMA BEK"

Abadan quips during this exchange and says "well, looks like someone dropped out of kindergarten."

Lyta says "well a good chuck of them were construction workers."

"Good point."

The man turns back to the duo and says "al wigt, de boos wil wont tu spek wit u." lyta smiles and moves forward tugging at the rope for Abadan to move along.

Roof top

On the roof the two emerge on the roof through a door on the opposite side of the building and along the way they were flanked by a bunch of builder pirates, they were mostly human with the occasional fishman doted in, they all had the same attire, construction worker clothing like overalls, t-shirts and hard hats along with some random object with them based on construction equipment, all grinning menacingly.

Abadan then comments saying "what, is a petty party happening." But is stoped further by lyta tugging on the rope harder, as the duo (well one girl and captured guy.) make their way to the top tent with the large pile of gold, from there the guy in the gold piles says "so you are the thief who stole the map I gaineb for the marines."

Lyta nods calmly and says "yeah like I told the guard at the door, I took it from you because this guy wanted it"

Abadan chimes up and says "I have no clue what that toilet paper holds!"

With a kick to the head lyta continued "he was going to pay me about 50 million beli for it but short changed me by 50% so I beat his ass."

"Knocked me out with booze."

"Tied him up."

"while comatose from booze."

"and dragged him back here hoping to join your crew."

"wait weren't you-"Abadan was swiftly cut of by lyta kicking him in the balls, to witch Abadan gains a few octaves in his voice.

The pile of gold started to stir and the oily voice of captain "hmmm… hey boys what bo you say about her joining up with us." To the left of the gold pile the lengthy man comes out of the shadows, he is a human with tanned skin and blond slicked back hair, red bandana around his face with the builder pirate's logo along with matching yellow hard hat, red striped wife beater with two belts forming an x across his chest, armed with a knife's block worth of throwing knifes. He responds with "I don't know boss she seems fishy, but if she managed to steal that from us, I won't hurt to have him on, but a test of loyalty would be advised."

the other man with a deeply Irish accent "OI come on Charles, lighten up why don't ye." The other man then walks out and is in fact a fishman, a thresher shark to be exact with red skin, gills on his neck, spikey green and orange hair, large toothy grin and built like a brick and other than what was stated last chapter he is wearing a blue bandana around his neck. "Ye knew how long we gone with no females abord."
"well maybe the fact you sleep with that animal is the reason why you have no bitches."

"HOLD YE TONG YA KNIFE BLOCKING HUMPING CU-"

"ENOUGH!" yelled Legolas from under the giant gold pile, "You two shut it up or I will bock your pays!" this statement gained some minor gasps from the crowd, this caused the two to begrudgingly stop, in which from the small port he stares down lyta with his red bloodshot eyes and says in a dark tone "listen, in orber to be part of my crew you need to have this one thing."

Lyta then asks "if I don't."

Legolas then chuckles dryly and says "well let's just say there are worse fates for sure." To this comment lyta begins to sweat a bit along with a now recovering Abadan from the possible career ending attack, the rest of the builder pirates lean in inquisitively while Legolas asks darkly "BO. YOU. LIKE. MONEY."

The now confused lyta responds with "um yes, I mean who-"

Legolas then bursts out of the pile of gold interrupting lyta yelling with joy "SPLENBIB, WELCOME TO THE CREW!" this is followed by the builder pirates celebrating, hooting, yelling, firing their guns and so on, along with the confused looks on the duo's faces.

Legolas generally looks like he crawled out of a pile of oily clothing and hopped into a pile of gold, with slender build and long black hair along with his face, with bloodshot red eyes, large shit eating grin, small head, big nose and multiple scars he wears an oily brown long coat with random patches strewn about and in a state of disrepair, along with similar looking raggy blue pants held up by rope along with a basic sword, black shoes in disrepair, tattered white gloves and tank top with two belts across his chest, however on every part of his body is golden objects, on his head is a broken golden crown, along with multiple rings (that are mostly gold with precious stones mixed in) on his fingers along with gold thimbles on the end, along with multiple bracelets on his arms and legs, golden necklaces, golden teeth, golden necklaces and multiple golden objects hanging from the belts like a golden incense, golden knife and the like. (For an idea of what he looks like Imagine if a greasy 1730s hobo wearing so much bling, he could buy a kingdom with.)

He walks up, grabs the hand of an immensely confused lyta and raises it the air and yell "LET'S CELEBRATE." Which is received with both roaring applause from the builder pirates and an equally confused Abadan who thinks 'wow… that was surprisingly easy, I guess their employer never taught them betrayal'

(One Piece Party Theme plays)

An hour passes where the builder pirates are partying like hell, builder pirates are eating food like air and drinking booze like water, dancing, playing instruments and singing with… moderate success, all the while Abadan is stuck in a cage tied with rope, however mid-way through he managed to cut himself free from the ropes by sprouting a sword blade from where his spine meets the hips and extended and retracted a serrated blade from that blade and used it like a saw, but after he did this he immediately tries to steal some food from a nearby table, Abadan has his arm out of the cell bars (the cell itself is near the upper left corner of the building, the main tent is in the middle against the south balcony) and blades coming out from between his knuckles (think ala wolverine) that extend out to a nearby table with a big piece of ham.

'come on here piggy, I need you in me belly.' Abadan thinks and blades descend to the ham leg, only for a drunk builder pirate to grab it in order to participate in a minor food fight, due to this Abadan retracts his blades internally screaming.

Meanwhile at the big tent, in front of the pile of gold is Legolas sitting in a gold chair sitting at a small table for him, the two guys next to him and lyta on opposite to him, Legolas is drinking booze along with the fishman and Charlie is eating steak but in a more refine way (well refine in worker terms) in order to break the silence lyta asks "so… how is being a pirate with a bounty of 20 million?"

Legolas perks up and laughs stating " oh no no that is my olb bounty, that map you ran off with I got from raiBing a marine vessel… and killing most the occupants."

The fishman pipes up saying "say didn't old knife humper grab our new bounties from the raid?"

Charles reaches down and digs around in a bag responding condescendingly with "yes Roy, I have them, but there is one thing I can say?" Charles slams the bounty posters down and says "mine is higher than yours."

Reactions were mixes Legolas and Charles were fine, however Roy was peeved and lyta just sits there thinking

'Well shit, if I saw these bounties before I wouldn't try what I did, well that's life.'

Roy then yells angerly "WHAT THE FLYING FUCK IS DIS!"

"Your bounty." Says Charles sarcastically

"I can see it blade humper, but why is it so low, me and my boy destroyed an entire marine ship… a small one BUT STILL!"

Charles stands up, starts reaching for his blade and says "do you want to taste my blade?"

Lyta trying to defuse the situation says "wait, I… uh found a weapon on my former employer, after knocking him out I kept it."

The three pirates look over at lyta and Charles asks "ok why are telling us that?"

"Well, I have no clue if it's special, I mean it LOOKS interesting."

Charles then rubs his chin saying "ok can you bring it out." As lyta goes for the bag that is leaning next to the gold pile Roy pipes up saying "what are you expecting knife to be mate? It's probably going to be a crummy old sword that wo-" he stops to see lyta open a bag and Abadan's cutlass slides onto the table and lyta responds with "so what do you…" she stops midway as she sees the three men face faulting at the sight of the sword (no funny mouth just the long eye bulges.)

"are you all ok?"

Roy then looks at lyta dumbstruck "miss, ye do realize what that sword is ya?"

"um no, I just found it on the guy, I kept it because it looked ornate."

Charles pipes up yelling "LADY! That "random ornate sword" is the Ō Wazamono grade cutlass wēbukattā."

Lyta raises and eyebrow and says "I'm sorry… Charles was it, I'm not a big sword enthusiast so I have clue what you are tal-"

The three men interrupt her yelling in unison "THIS IS JOHN MCLEAN'S WEAPON!"

And as lyta after a bit of silence speak weakly while sweat forms, her face loses color "john… THE John Paul McLean, the marine lieutenant commander who faced and defeated many pirates, the john that died at the battle of rubric…"

She then slumps down weak kneed on the ground legs apart and while the builder pirates top brass start bickering among themselves, she thinks to herself 'good lord, what did he do!? Is it possible he was at rubric, no he would be around like 5 or something like me, he must have stolen it from either his grave or some marine base… man I got lucky he has a non-existent booze tolerance, he either must be really skill, very lucky or that dangerous.'

(during the previous scene)

"OH EH UH AH AH, TING TANG WALLA BENG BA-"

"oh shut it!" yelled a builder pirate wearing a yellow hard hat, a vest with the builder pirate jolly roger and screwdriver gloves (left glove fingers being tipped by flat heads and the other being Phillips heads.) "If it weren't for the fact food keeps appearing near your cell and your ropes are gone, I wouldn't be here!"

"What? afraid you lose your sandwich, plus I though hunger strikes were your kind of thing?"

The builder pirate groans and says "I will get a drink, DON'T do anything suspicious you hear!"

And the builder pirate sonders off to get a drink, during which Abadan looks left and right then puts his hand over the lock and the semi quiet sound of metal hitting metal is heard from where his hand is, however the door guard is nearby and comes over and asks "UT R OO DOIN?"

Abadan looks right and left saying "uhhhh… touching the lock?"

"y" the guard asks

"I… have a lock fetish…" Abadan says sheepishly helmet grinning suspiciously.

The guard squints and says "ogay" then walks off, and Abadan slumps down and starts thinking about the pass.

Flash back: four-fifths of a decade ago.

The scene changes to early in the morning and at a bunch of ships, the largest ship is a galleon with a brown and blue paint job, the figurehead is a sky blue bird with yellow feathers, beak and eyes, it looks like a pirate ship but the sails are plain white and no flag and the figurehead has a half hazard black and red paint job covering it, however that did not stop the ship from getting attacked by 3 smaller vessels, this is evident by trails of smoke rising from the ship and some pieces of the ship missing.

on board the ship itself is a battle, on one side near the stairs to the bow is a bunch of bounty hunters and while they are different heights, genders, armor, weapons and other such characteristics they share two things, their weapons (spears, swords, guns (not bullets), etc.) are made of gold and they all bear a sigil on them (clothes or skin) of two swords and a shield with a kraken on it, some hiding behind the cover of barrels while some opt to stand in the open either retrieving one of the multiple bodies of their comrades or throwing knives or shooting wildly at the opposition, behind them are two doors suspiciously ajar and they created barricades made of random stuff like barrels, large crates and an anchor, on the other side near the wheel by those stairs and on the deck above are another group of people, Avery's crew. They were armed and armored with normal equipment (iron and the like) on top of their green and red clothes, and they from the top down they were winning, on their side only a few visible wounded people are seen on the deck above laying down on makeshift cots behind barricades, the crew mates themselves are much more coordinated than the bounty hunters, with the melee guys staying behind cover and the rifle guys launching volleys at the bounty hunters (two rows of three), and it seems to working well as the deck is covered with injured and or dead bounty hunters. From behind the barricades the crew members are yelling at each other while loading their guns

"Where did these people come from!?"

"They must have snuck up on us while we were sleeping!" a volley is then launch at the bounty hunters snagging one unfortunate bounty hunter from the barricade in the shoulder and another poor sap in the head climbing up the rope ladder onto the ship.

"But why didn't they attack."

"They must be centaurains." The two along with their line then stand up and launches a volley but missing, the duo and their fellows then crouch back down and random shots fly overhead.

"Large amounts of wealth, honor and ego and little intelligence and empathy."

On the bounty hunter side morale is low with two bounty hunters saying "is this even worth it, we lost more hunters here than trying to kill that sea king... and that thing was HUGE!"

"yeah I know le-" but the other bounty hunter was then slashed across the back by another figure, he has a green eye with a eyepatch over the other and golden yellow head and beard hair, this one is wearing a yellow coat with rend cuffs with the kanji for "gold" on it (and wearing it normally.) he also has on golden armor minus the pants and helmet (the coat is in-between the shoulders and large golden pauldrons) he has red baggy pants and a red bandana, along with a gold sword on one hip and a golden gun on the other, both sheathed and on a golden belt, he then berates the two saying "DON'T YOU DARE BACK DOWN, IF YOU DO I WILL SHOVE THEM AT THOSE PIRATES!"

The other breathing bounty hunter says confusedly "um how do you know these are pirates?"

"do normal people float around in a big ship, no they must be either another guild or pirates, those are the only two that make sense." He then pops up and fires his pistol along with some of the other remaining bounty hunters with guns and they managed to get two in the shoulder and hip respectably.

"They must be weak by now."

Then a voice rings from above yelling "SO ARE YOU YA GOLDEN TURD!" and before anyone could react a young Abadan jumps down and managed to slice the golden guy's ear off with webukatta, he promptly made the mating call of loud youtubers at the prospect of missing an ear, Abadan yells out cheerfully

"HEY FRED I GOT…" he then realizes that the other bounty hunters are looking at him, then the now singles eared golden guy yells "KILL THAT BRAT!" the bounty hunter not one for killing children try to restrain Abadan but he managed to evade them for a time until one managed to wrap his arms around him, followed by him dropping the sword on the previously down bounty hunter who was trying to get up but he fall back down on his face yelping.

The golden guy yells "HEY!" to Avery's crew

He then turns to the pirate crew yelling "I GOT YOUR KID, SURREND AND WE WILL TAKE YOU TO THE MARINES WHE-" he is cut off by Abadan replicating the average response on twitter. After turning his head, he was going to continue but another kid a 16-year-old Karl with long hair wearing a basic shirt and pants hits the guy who has Abadan on the head freeing him, Karl then yells "what are you thinking!"

"But I wanted to help," said a teary-eyed Abadan

"oh no yo- MOVE" Karl suddenly yells as the golden guy swings his sword and misses the both but not before Karl's shirt rips a bit showing a bit of his tattoo, but despite missing an eye (and an ear not so long ago) the golden guy catches a glimpse and quickly grabs Karl's hair yanking him back, all the while Avery's crew started panicking wondering how to do in order to rescue the kids, but Abadan quickly ran over and grabbed his sword run to the duo and managed to get Karl free by bring it down on Karl's hair cutting it, but the golden guy managed to pull him closer and got a hand on Karl's shirt so when Abadan brought down the sword it not only cut Karl's hair but also damaged golden guy's armor and that cause him to jump back and tear Karl's shirt showing over half of his tattoo, the bird tattoo or in the golden guy's word "WELL WELL, I THINK WE FOUND THE PHOENIX PIRATES BOYS!" this lead to mixed reactions, some of the more greedy bounty hunter cheered on while others started to be scared, shaking in their boots and sweating like pigs in the summer sun. the golden guy continues "I don't know if we found them but hey, we will get a big fat check, KILL THEM!" the greedier and more blood thirsty bounty hunters (there were about 20 of them still up not counting the ones who are injured or the golden guy) immediately turned their weapons towards them and swung their melee weapons or opened fire, Karl grabs Abadan and tries to shield the weapons but… it never came the two kids open their eyes to see they were on the other side of the ship on the ship's bow with the makeshift infirmary behind them and the balcony overlooking the battle is at but as they tried to move two arms that were wrapped around them tighten and the voice of Avery is heard "listen, we will talk about this later, but for now keep out of trouble ok."

"o-ok." The two kids say. Then Avery let go of them then walks over to the bounty hunters

From the bounty hunter point of view the more blood thirsty and greedy ones tried to attack them but a figure jumped up from over the side and spirited them away to the other of the ship with the smell of something burnt in the air, they were all confused at the moment but soon a man jumps down from the above deck from the aft with a loud thunk, the golden guy unimpressed signaled with his hand for his forces to yield, he then yells out "Well I'll be darned, you must be the infamous captain Avery of the phoenix, now that confirms it, some runt with that tattoo will net a hard working man like me a few mill, but the whole crew he he hahahahaaa it would set me for life." The other bounty hunters then give him dirty looks and he says "you will get a portion, don't wet yourselves."

Avery then responds with "hard working when has hunting for a man equivalent to working a full-time job?"

"Well with some pay it is worth all the money."

"Oh, I didn't know centaurea ran out of money, or are those rocks to low class for you."

The golden guy laughs hard along with a few of the bounty hunters but very weakly "CENTAUREA WILL NEVER BECOME POOR LIKE YOU PESANTOS, WEREN'T IT FOR US A GOOD CHUNK OF THE SOUTH BLUE WOULD BE A WASTELAND THANK TO THE LIKE OF YOU!"

Avery then crosses his arms and gets out a cigar "alright… well if you think you are so "high and mighty than us lower folk" I have a deal for you. you can have my ENTIRE CREW to turn in for that reward, all you need to do is hurt me, so…" he then grabs a lighter preparing to light it "do you dare golden man." The remaining crew members head into the ship for cover while Abadan and Karl look on

The golden guy huff at that and yells "THIS "GOLDEN MAN" IS THE GREAT LEADER OF ONE OF GREATEST BOUNTY HUNTER GUILDS IN CENTAUREA, BONAPARTE TANTO HEAD OF THE GOLDEN KRAKEN GUILD AND YOU-" he snaps his fingers and the entire wall behind him explodes like out of a movie and behind him are a bunch of bounty hunter armed with guns and a few had rolled out 3 cannons (two where the doors used to be and one in the middle) and the bounty hunters in front (minus bona) all moved to high ground along with other gun touting mercs ranging from simple golden pistols to golden blunder busses in total there were about 40 or so bounty hunter pointing some kind of gun powder weapon at him and the golden guy gets out his pistol and backs into the firing line and continues "- ARE NOW LEGEND! FIREEE!" all the bounty hunters fire upon Avery firing every single bullet, cannon ball or anything they could get their hands on at him, the resulting onslaught not only caused a giant cloud of dust from all of the fire but also obliterated the nearby area, Karl and Abadan had to step back into the makeshift medical area to avoid the shrapnel, in the middle of this volley the cigarette lighter was launch towards the young Abadan and Karl so in fear they yell out in unison "UNCLE!" in panic, after a while and after the cannons ran out of ammo and the bullets just whizzed by the leader held out his hand stopping the bombardment he then steps out and yells out " WE DID WE KILLED THE CAPTAIN OF THE PHOENIX PIRATES!" the two kids look devastated and Abadan slumps down to the floor in defeat dropping webukatta besides him, and Bonaparte turns around to his boys and yells "sad we had to kill him… what was his bounty again?"

( malenia blade of miquela ost plays)

but before anyone responded the sound of what seemed to be the mix of lighter lighting and fingers snapping and by the 3rd stroke/snap a small flame could be seen through the dust cloud and a voice is heard "do you know what phoenix does when it dies." The guild leader starts sweating like a dog in heat along with the other bounty hunters, and the two kids start grinning ear to ear (well Abadan is doing it behind his mask and his is crude.) and the voice answers after adding the smell of tobacco (or the one-piece equivalent) "it rises." And when the dust settles standing a piece of board is Avery smoking a cigar in his mouth, behind him the entire wall is caved and was destroyed all the way and revealed the back along with many hole peppering the deck, in fact that board was the only thing keeping Avery from falling down into a hole deeper into the ship. But Avery isn't without injury, multiple holes dotted his body the largest being in his stomach and even a left part of his face was gone but instead of meaty holes and bleeding a river out of said holes, the outer edges of the wounds seemed to be made of black ash peppered with small embers instead of… well human meat. The entire crowd of bounty hunters were a mix of astounded, dumbfounded and shiting themselves as the kids cheer, the golden guy rebuts saying "w-well you said that your crew wo-" before he could finish Avery started to reform his face and close his wounds with ash to what seemed to come straight from his body (the ash to be exact.) and soon it was if nothing even happened to him, and he then asks both smugly and dryly "you were saying." At this point some of the bounty hunters started to make a break for it but warning shots started coming from the now destroyed part of the ship, the rest of the crew came by bearing their allegiance to the phoenix pirates with their tattoos and Avery speaks "it seems you don't know everything about me, so I will tell." The bounty hunter started to sweat like mad, but Avery continues "my name is Avery jones, I am the 5th captain of the phoenix pirates with a bounty of five hundred million on my head, and an extra 40 million if you take me too rubric alive." The bounty hunter then started panicking with some moving backwards and Avery in a treating voice "and while I am not morally good, I do have standards unlike you all, and let's just say." He then pulls out his sword and his arm turn into ash while the rest of the crew head down into the boat along with Abadan and Karl jumping down from the deck above following them, but not going all the way down in order to see what will happen next and Avery continues saying "I have a soft spot for children and a sore spot for people who harm casually." And bounty hunters then start to panic and try to run away but it was two late, ash started to swirl around Avery creating a small tornado pulling the bounty hunter into it and even the kids if it weren't for the timely arrival of Fred and another crew mate pulling them down so they don't get sucked in.

From a far-off view a huge ash tornado then forms from the middle of the ship sucking in all the unlucky sods caught by it mainly the bounty hunters, and after a few minutes dozens of small light orange wind blades start flying out of the tornado followed by scream of terror, pain and confusion, those wind blade aren't as strong as one hit one of the bounty hunters masts but while it damaged it taking some wood it wasn't enough to take It out, after a few seconds some of the bounty hunter bodies starting to exit the ash tornado all beaten to hell and some missing limbs, and after a while the tornado dies down and when the ash settles Avery chucks away his used cigar while bounty hunter bodies fall down in various states of injury, some received no injury and if possible got up confused while others were just plain dead or unconscious, the latter of which is the GuildMaster Bonaparte that had crashed to the mangled deck of the ship, armor ripped the piece an having several new orifices pissing blood, and Avery who then jumps off the board and to solid ground next to the guy, crouches down next to him and scoffs saying "So… if you are centaurea's best, then I'm either really strong or you are really weak, either way I'm surprised centaurea didn't have a civil war yet." As he gets up, the first mate Fred then carefully comes over and says "hey captain, good news and bad news, good new despite the injuries the crew mates who were injured will not die, bad news the area behind us has been ripped a new hole so what do you want us to do?"

Avery turns to Fred and says "takes two of the bounty hunters' boats and scarp them and put the couple dozen or so that survived on put them on the most wrecked one."

Fred raises an eyebrow and looks around at the bounty hunter's bodies in various states of life and death and asks "there are more?"

"yep each of those boats had around 60 or 70 of those fools, I went over to the other boats and beaten some sense into them, also the farthest one has a LOT of loot so take that one for sure."

Fred nods and goes below deck to tell the rest of the crew what to do, then Avery using his devil fruit to propel himself with ash to the steering deck where Abadan, Karl and the injured are at, Karl and Abadan at first were happy… until Avery with brain veins clocked Abadan on the head leaving a forehead bump (or a cranial eruption) on their heads and Abadan stands up and yells "WHAT WAS THAT FOR ASHTRAY!"

"you attacked vicious armed bounty hunters! And you are a child and Karl is barely into adulthood!"

"then why wasn't he punched, are you gay!"

"he jumped down there to save your ass so he gets a pass butter knife."

Abadan and Avery keep on arguing throwing creative slurs at each other, all the while a clownfish mermaid in her 30s wearing nurses attire hops up to Karl asking "are you ok?"

"No, I'm fine Lilly, only a ripped shirt a maybe a few scratches."

Lily then looks at Abadan and grimaces a little and asks worryingly "hey will he be fine, even after what happened back at your home?"

Karl sighs "even though it's been two years… only time will tell."

End of flashback

"SO! You, are the guy that owneb this sworb" Abadan snaps back to the present and sees Legolas grinning dirtily at him with the sword dragging on the ground. Legolas tries to hold it up but he is having difficulties holding it up unlike other swords, "well, this is WAY heavier than the sworb I have swung."

Abadan then pipes up saying "so… have you flunked elementary school or something or do you hate d-"

"Ask the question you ibiot!"

Abadan then shrugs and says sarcastically "ok yes is that what you are looking for oil cloth or do I need to spell It out because the only thing you think about is money."

This makes legolas gets angry and bends over and yells " GOLB IS AWESOME! ANYONE WHO BISSAGREES SHOULB BE SHOT ON SIGHT!" in Abadan's face (or mask in this case) spewing spit all over him.

Abadan then thinks 'well them and the bull humpers will get along fine.'

Legolas then stands up and orders nearby member of the builder pirates to "get the nailer and that girl!"

The builder pirate then runs off and a few seconds later lyta comes over just as they pull out what seems to be a rotatable portable cannon with a cube shaped barrel, they then rolled it up facing Abadan's cell but facing away from his cell to the left by 90 degrees pointed towards a building with a pre-painted target, Lyta asks "what's that?"

Legolas smiles and says "oh just something me and my workers have been working on."

Soon a few builder pirates then haul the large box with 15 medium sized holes on it towards the cannon and slots it inside the barrel after pushing it down to the back, and then one builder pirate with a makeshift flamethrower lights the fuse with said flamethrower (he has protective stuff like a welding mask, rubber gloves and a apron.) and when the wick goes out… there is a short delay until several rocket powered ballista bolts launch out and hit the target, went straight through and impaled themselves on the opposite wall, Lyta raises and eyebrow and says "ok… a little over complicated but-"

Some of the builder pirates then shush her as they wait until the fuses go out.

Meanwhile in red town's harbor Karl has arrived with the builder pirates he had captured, however instead of looking for Abadan he is…

"WHAT ON THIS SALTY MARBLE IS THIS!"

The lengthy builder pirate walks over and says "that's our main ship, we have two smaller one but…"

The ship in question is what seemed to be a sloop with 3 rows of cannons on each side, however that is where the similarities end as all over the ship there are strange design choices, the keel seemed to be shoddily reinforced with metal but it looks like it was haphazardly nailed it into the keel itself and other areas, the masts for some reason split into two smaller sails going in opposite directions and there are masts bolted onto the side making it look like the ship has wings, along with weird design choices like that it also has some… artistic choices, the most notable example is the figure head, the figure head is a Skellington with construction worker gear along with a sickle and hammer crossed in the chest area. That would be fine… if the Skellington wasn't real, along with this the sails seemed to be made of plastic with a black and yellow strip pattern (think of the pattern seen in construction areas.), this pattern also shows up on the metal sheets that clash with the maroon paint job on the ship.

The lengthy pirate continues saying "it's not that bad."

Karl looks over to him and says, "while there are some good ideas here, even for a guy who knows little of ships… this is a piece of shit, for starters there is metal hammered haphazardly into the keel, that is bad, plus why does the masts split into two?"

The muscled pirate then says "are you a shipwright?"

Karl looks at him saying "while I only know that basics and I'm more of a carpenter/ handy man even I know that messing with the keel is a sure fire way to-" he is interrupted by the sounds of fireworks launching and the crumbling of stone Karl looks behind him and tries to say something but is interrupted by a massive explosion followed by a mushroom cloud in the distance a shocked Karl turns to the three builder pirates with equally shocked expressions saying "what in rubric was THAT!"

Hammer guy answers saying "I think that was the cap- err Forman's new weapon the Nailer."

Karl then looks over at the dissipating mushroom cloud and says "the Nailer?"

Back at the builder pirate's base the members plus minus the top brass, the Forman Legolas and Lyta stand back and out of cover after the dust settles, what once was a few buildings was now a crater no evidence that a few buildings were there, to this the builder pirates start cheering while a shellshocked lyta says "th-that was cool." Legolas then yells happily complements and boasts "THANK YOU BEAR, WITH MY BEVIL FRUIT, MY NEW CANNONS AND THAT MAP, I LEGOLAS KRISTANSEN WILL GO INTO THE GRANB LINE AND BECOME KING OF THE PIRATES SO I-" however he was interrupted by the howling laughing of Abadan, Legolas then looks over and yells "WHATS SO FUNNY!"

Abadan then elaborates "you think you and your gang of washed-up union workers can tackle the grand line, with some random magical fruit, a piece of paper, some fancy dart throwers and hopes n dreams, this is juuuust rich ah hahahaaaa!"

Roy walks over and yells "YEAH! WHAT ABOUT IT YE BUCKET HEAD!"

Abadan then cryptically and grimly states "you know how many people went into that stretch of water? how many people chasing the last words of a legend, promises of freedom, treasure, power? all going in with everything they had and some had greater powers than you and I could dream of, and yet here we are, two decades later, the sea littered with wrecks of dreams, forgotten, damned and no "one piece" found… so tell me Legolas…" Abadan leans in front of the bars

"What makes you special?"

A moment of silence filled the air as the builder pirates plus Lyta are stunned and… kind of worried by Abadan's grim statement including the captain of the builder pirates who tries to search for an answer but ultimately ignores it, walks over points the nailer at Abadan's cage and yells "WELL WHAT ARE YOU STANBING THERE FOR, GET ANOTHER ROUNB." A few builder pirates run off with 4 removing the old shell, 4 getting a new one and 1 guy placing in a new fuse Legolas then walks over to Lyta and hands her a match box and says "listen, while I got have trust for you, I Bon't trust you fully."

Lyta grabs the match box confused and asks "why not? I gave you the map, I answered your question what do I need to do now?"

Legolas then says " that was before you showed me his sworb, so in orber for you to have my full trust you neeb to kill your olb boss."

Lyta then asks "is there… any other alternatives?"

Legolas then shrugs and says "well you can mutilate one of those babies" as he gestures to a table behind him were there are 4 babies raising hell with one builder pirate yelling in the background "WHERE THE FUCK DID THEY COME FROM!"

Lyta immediately takes the match box and heads towards the nailer with the builder pirates chanting "fire" over and over but when she gets to the fuse, she hesitates for a moment lost in thought 'so it's either this or… nope I am not doing that… but is this the way he should go, I mean he hasn't even done anything so…" then one of the builder pirates, the pyro maniac then grabs the match box out from her hands and yells "scared don't worry I will do it mam." But as he tries to light the fuse but Lyta pulls out one of her daggers and bashes the pyro maniac in the head with the dagger's but knocking him out cold to the surprise of the builder pirates and Legolas, Legolas then yells out saying "WHY BIB YOU BO THAT!"
Lyta then yells out "YOU GAVE ME TWO OPTIONS BOTH OF WHOM ARE CRAZY, IT WAS EITHER MURDER SOME HELPESS ANGLES OR KILL A GUY I FOUND ON THE STREETS WHO WANT TO BE A PIRATE, AND BESIDES I AM NOT JOINS YOU THINGS WHO RAPE, KILL AND STEAL FOR NO GOOD REASON!"

Legolas then yells "you betray me… and I thought we were nakama."

Lyta and Abadan speak simultaneously "you gave (her/me) the most basic of questions someone could ask."

Legolas then yells out "it doesn't matter, get her men!" then 5 builder pirates then rush her with various weaponry.

Lyta then pulls out her other dagger and runs towards the 5 builder pirates dodging a sledgehammer swing by one of them and cuts another with a pipe rod with one of her daggers across the chest, however she was hit by the dumb door guard in the shoulder piercing it, but before she could get dogged on she rolls out of the way with the other 2 builder pirates missing their weapons, during the scuffle the pyro maniac managed to lit the fuse, thankfully the fuse was long so Abadan and Lyta could see that it was lite and while Lyta tries to hobble over Abadan quickly creates a spike coming out from his palm and puts it in the lock and using sound to find out where the small needle is poking out from and trying to pick the lock, meanwhile Lyta then runs over to the fuse and before she did anything she pulls out a bomb and uses the light fuse to light it and throws it at the builder pirates to the left of the big tent in which they scramble for cover as it explodes, but thinking fast she cuts the fuse off short and letting the still burning piece fall to the ground. However, during Abadan's pick locking he hears a scuffle happening down stairs during this commotion, but he stops and sees three builder pirates charging right at Lyta, he was about to warn her but the treasure chest flies out from the entry way and hits one of the pirates in the head knocking him out cold builder helmet shattered. Everyone looked over at the entry way and see Karl trying his best to not break the frame of the trap door with his 13 feet tall frame, but after he gets himself on the roof, he takes a look around and spots Abadan trying to bust out of a cage and remarks "first a bird snatched you up now I find you in a cage thanks to a bunch of low-income workers?"

Abadan remarks saying "hey, I get around."

A confused Lyta then says "um… who is he."
Abadan and Karl look at her and says simultaneously "he's my brother."

But before Lyta could ask anything Legolas interrupts them yelling "EY BOYS, STOP STANBING AROUNB GET HIM!"

Then the other two builder pirates plus 3 of them that were originally attacking Lyta all charge at Karl, two of them try stabbing him with a few golden sword but he dodges and backhands the two human pirates sending them flying into the boss tent one collapsing part of the tent and the other smashed into the pile of gold… this did not sit well with Legolas and he begins to charge at Karl after he dispatches two in the same way but past Abadan's cell in which he yells "HOME RUN!" while trying to pick his lock.

But the final goon seeing he was outmatched ran away from Karl but was knocked out by Lyta who went to retrieve the babies in a big basket she found on one of the tables holding a lot of bread that she dumped out. That is when Karl looks forward and sees Legolas charging sluggishly at him with a normal golden sword because of Abadan's sword, Karl instinctually punches Legolas, however instead of sending him flying into the sunset, it instead when Karl punches him the entire upper half of his body explodes in what seems to be gory viscera sending his head rolling, his arms and the other half slumping to the ground and a shocked Karl, Lyta and Abadan. Lyta was bout to yell at Karl until she notices that the builder pirates were just standing there like a bunch of cucumbers, Karl then pats around his body and is puzzled about the absence of blood despite the bloody explosion, he then picked up one of the "bloody chucks" off the ground to the get a better look, instead of the normal chuck of human flesh, bone and viscera, it was instead a wad of multi color plastic bricks (think of random Lego bricks), unfortunately Karl didn't have time to ponder this because a giant spike the size of mailbox made of those bricks rocket towards him and nails him in the side followed by the floating head of Legolas flying up in the air with where the neck is now made of those plastic bricks. Then while his body was reforming with the scattered bricks reforming his torso, he elaborates on his ability gloating happily "AH HA! I ATE ONE OF THE BEVIL FRUITS, THE BUILB BUILB FRUIT TO BE EXACT, IT ALOWS ME TO TURN MY BOBY INTO THESE TINY BRICKS THAT I CAN MANIPULATE!" during the middle of the boast his chest if fully reformed with his head floating above, his arms floating over the sockets and the entire thing floating over the legs "WHILE IT ISN'T A LOGIA, BUT WHEN I AM HIT BY SOLIB FORCE I BREAK APART ANNNNNB-" his limbs they come back together and he hits the ground whole again "-REFORM BACK, SO I AM INVICIBLE AHHH HAHAHHAHAHAAHAAAAAAA!"
while he laughs the builder pirates all chant his name triumphantly with Lyta's jaw agape thinking 'well… I never expected that, I thought it would be a zoan or something?' while Abadan who stopped lock picking comments saying "well, now I can see why the talking oil drum was so confident."

Karl then tries to stand up and takes a swing at Legolas again but like he said his arm explodes into plastic bricks and they reform into three smaller coned spikes that launch at Karl, but unlike before where he was caught off guard Karl managed to break two of the spikes but one was logged into his fist but Abadan yells out while he grunts in pain "OI MAN!" he then gestures with his head towards the Nailer and Karl look over while blocking Legolas's sword swing with his right arm and nods in which he swings his free left hand that breaks Legolas and allowed webukatta to drop to the floor in which he picks up and dashes over to where the Nailer, Abadan's cell and a baby holding lyta are standing. In a swift motion Karl puts his better hand against the Nailer and aims it towards the now panicking builder pirates with Legolas yelling "WHAAT TH- NO GET BACK HERE ANB GET MY GOLB!"

lyta seeing what they are planning puts down the basket of babies and pulls out an ornate, gold lighter and lights what's left of the fuse as the builder pirates starts panicking running around like headless chickens, however before the Nailer fires Legolas thinking on his feet disconnects his torso to legs and turn the legs into Lego pieces, form them into a log and swings it at the Nailer hoping for it to swing around towards the town and miss them… unfortunately Karl was in the way and most of it slammed into his guarding arms, and while it was able to move the Nailer and aimed it away from the main tent it was now aimed at a tent filled to the brim with barrels with the name "powdr oom" above it and before anyone could do anything the nailer fired it's rockets over a ducking lyta shielding the babies… and before the ensuing explosion Abadan yells to a crowd (minus lyta who is shielding the babies from the explosion) of long eyed people "WELL FU-" abadan is then cut off from the massive explosion as the crowd is bathed in light.

… well what I said before aged like wine, well I got some explaining, for one school was wrapping up for me the teachers decided "hey let's give these kids medium sized projects to do." And this was made worse by the fact I couldn't do any work prior to the 4th quarter due to my school computer running on molasses (aka slow as heck), so not only did I need to do a lot of homework very quickly, I also had to pack for an impending vacation, so I got it done… buuut one of my family members caught a disease (NOT COVID THANKFULLY) and we had to bring them due to dinner plans (we were going to Disney for the people wondering and the prices there are beyond extortionate) and if you want an apt description of what we had it was a bad cold for most of us, and for me personally it was that plus… this ( /JgrHTHGXr9A). so yeah any progress made was minimal due to either homework burnout or the plague. But don't worry this fic isn't dead, I will (hopefully) get finish part 3 of this chapter by either next month or the month after that. Stay safe and… don't get sick.
