This story is coming along pretty well! I hope it gets lots of good reviews, even though Hao won't be appearing.
Chapter 7: Shaman vs. Pirate
The pirates are beating Manta; spitting him in the face and punching him. "Somebody help me…" cries Manta.
Suddenly, the door slams open and grabs the attention of everyone. They turn to the entrance and sees Mayor Doodad standing bravely with an axe in his hand. "El Drago!" he shouts out. "You have gone too far! You dare hurt even a little kid!"
"It's the mayor of this town!" says one the pirates. "What is he doing here?"
"What can that old bag of bones do?" says another. "He must be insane to try and fight us!"
"Do not underestimate me!" says Doodad angrily. "I will smite you down with my own hands."
The pirates laugh at him. "Hahahaha! Ya hear that? He wants to kill us all? Stop kidding me! Hahahahahaha!"
Doodad raises his axe and charges at El Drago, but the evil captain punches him back to the entrance. "Ha! You are a weakling compared to me!" laughs El Drago.
"I'm not finished yet!" says Doodad angrily. "I can still fight!"
At this moment, the shamans step into the building too. When Manta sees them, he quickly runs besides Yoh . "I knew you would come rescue me!"
"Of course we would!" Yoh says to him. He turns to El Drago and points his sword sheath at him. "You should be nicer to my friend. I'm usually a cheerful and happy person, but I can be serious when something happens to my friends."
The pirates laugh at him. "Hahahaha! I kid trying to scold us? Hahahahaha! What will you do to us anyway?"
"You people are new here! You must pay gold!" says El Drago. "Get them, my men! Empty there pockets and take every single gold from them!"
Doodad bravely stood back up. "Don't pick on the kids, El Drago! You're my opponent! Fight me!" Suddenly, Ren uses the flat part of his kwan-dao blade to smack Doodad on the head, knocking him out. "Waaaaaa…"
"Why did you do that?" Jun asks him.
"It's for his own good," replies Ren. "If he tries to fight them by himself, he will surely be killed. It is better to knock him out then to let him die in the hands of those cruel pirates."
The pirates take out their weapons and charge at the shamans. Ren over souls Bason into his weapon and uses Rapid Tempo Assault to knock out all the pirates in one blow. El Drago is surprised by the power of the kid, and he calls out, "Golass!"
A large Native American-like guy with a large sword steps forward.
"Kill those kids! Here are 5 gold coins to get you started!" El Drago hands him 5 coins.
Golass grins and accepts the gold coins, and then he readies his sword and charges at the shamans.
Ryu steps forward and says, "I'll handle him myself! Tokageroh, Over Soul!"
Right after Tokageroh over souls into the wooden sword, Golass clashes his sword with Ryu's. Using all his strength, he pushes Ryu against the wall and tries to crush him against it.
"What incredible strength he has!" Ryu thought to himself while trying to push back.
El Drago calls out to Golass, "Kill him! I'll give you 20 gold coins if you kill him! And I'll give you 50 gold coins if you are able to kill all those children!"
Hearing those offerings pleased Golass, and he pushes even harder than before. Ryu got a chance and quickly slipped out from the side and Golass's sword smashes into the wall.
Ryu's wooden sword glows with a purple aura, and he smacks Golass rapidly, beating him into submission and not giving him a chance to fight back. Ryu raises his wooden sword high, and with a yell, he brings it down on Golass's chest, slashing him severely. He yells out in pain and falls backward onto the floor and passes out.
"You have great strength," Ryu says to the fallen Golass. "But your craving for gold coins made you stray away from your concentration in battle, that's why you lost."
Ren points his kwan-dao at El Drago. "Now it's your turn!"
El Drago angrily stands up from his seat. He opens his mouth and begins making a loud sound. A bright blue light shines from his mouth and he fires a large energy beam! "What!" gasps Ren. The shamans quickly jump aside to avoid the beam, which traveled out the door and destroys a monument outside.
"How did you do that!" asks Ren in surprise.
"I ate the Goe Goe Fruit!" replies El Drago. "I can shout so loud that everything in front of me will be destroyed!" He opens his mouth and fires a beam at them again. Once again, the shamans quickly jump aside and the beam blasts the wall, making smoke fills the room.
El Drago sees the silhouette of Ren jumping towards him, ready to stab him with his kwan-dao. El Drago quickly moves his head aside just as Ren thrusts it forward, and he punches Ren in the face and sends him back onto the floor.
"Hey! You should pick on someone stronger to fight with, like me!" Horohoro shouts to the evil pirate. He over souls Kororo into his skateboard, jumps into the air, and fires large icicles at him. El Drago screams out another beam and shatters the icicles. Horo, who is still in air, quickly places the skateboard in front of him to protect himself from the blast. The force of the blast is very powerful and flies backwards and crashes into the wall. "OW!"
El Drago turns to the remaining shamans and opens his mouth to fire again. Yoh quickly over souls Amidamaru into his sword, turning it larger than before and some red armor forms around the hilt. When the beam is about to hit them, the shield enlarges and protects them all from the beam, and it did a good job also. Yoh turns back to the group, "Is everyone all right?"
"We're all right," Anna tells him. "Now hurry up and teach that villain a lesson."
Yoh turns to El Drago and says, "I don't want to hurt you too much, but don't make me go for the worse."
"Hahaha!" laughs the pirate. "A kid like you boasting like that? What can you do?" He jumps up from his seat and charges for Yoh. He flails his nails around, trying to hit Yoh, but the young shaman swiftly moves around to avoid the blows, but finally cut a cut across his cheek, followed by a punch in his face. Yoh flies back to the group and collapse onto the ground.
"Yoh! Are you all right?" Manta asks him with a worried look.
"Nah, that's nothing," says Yoh, getting back up. "He's weaker than the opponents I fought before."
El Drago opens his mouth and charges up for another shot as Yoh gets into defensive position. The beam shoots out from the pirate's mouth and heads for him. Yoh blocks the beam with his over soul sword and tries his hardest to push the beam back. "I must not let it pass!" he thought to himself.
After much trying, Yoh amazingly deflected the beam back to El Drago! The pirate gasps in shock as the beam engulfs him, creating a large explosion.
"You did it!" exclaims Manta.
When the explosion cleared, El Drago is seen lying on the floor, and everything behind him (like the throne), is in pieces due to the blast deflected just now.
Ren places the tip of his blade against El Drago's neck and says, "You lost. Now either leave this village or die!"
Suddenly, they all hear someone shouting, "GUM GUM ROCKET!"
The shamans turn around and see Luffy shooting towards them at high speed, so they quickly move aside and lets the rubber pirate pass through them. Luffy crashes head first into El Drago, and the impact was so powerful that El Drago flies through the wall and disappears into the sky! "AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!"
Luffy drops onto the floor after sending the pirate flying. "Woohoo! I'm here! Now where's that evil pirate?"
"You got him already," Ren tells him.
"Oh, I did? When?"
"I can't believe how absent-minded you can be!"
The rest of the villagers and Luffy's crew steps into the building and sees Doodad lying on the floor. "What happened to our mayor!" gasps one of the villagers. "Have the pirates knock him out?"
They shake up the mayor and woke him up. "Uh? What happened?" asks Doodad, looking around.
"You were knocked out by the pirates!" reply the villagers.
"Hey! Where's El Drago?"
"We took care of him for you already," Yoh tells him. "Your town is now free from his rule!"
Hearing this made Doodad cry in happiness. "You kids… How can I ever thank you?"
Anna turns to Nami, "What are you doing here anyway?"
"We learned from the villagers about what happened to this village, and I instantly recognize the name El Drago. I told Luffy about it, and being a nice guy, he agrees to help defeat him in return for food to eat."
Doodad bows down before the shamans. "I thank your with all my heart for rescuing my village! Is there anything I can do for you?"
"Well, you should ask the captain instead," says Yoh, pointing to Luffy.
"FOOD!" replies Luffy.
"And besides that, we would like to have our very own ship," says Ren.
"Uh?" Luffy looks at Ren strangely.
