Chapter 2 - Strong Man Toshio
"Luffy!" called Nami as she, Chopper, Usopp and Sanji arrived.
"You having fun?" asked Sanji sarcastically as he looked at the fallen pirates around him.
"Nah." moaned Luffy "These guys are wimps."
"Who are they?" asked Chopper
"The Tiger Moth Pirates." said the robed man as he came out of the tavern.
"Who?" asked Usopp
"Their captain is a guy named Kaito, he's from south blue and is wanted for 120 million beli."
"WHAT!" cried Nami, Usopp and Chopper together.
"That's more than Luffy." said Usopp as fear began to creep upon him "I'll just go back to the ship now."
Usopp headed back down the path but after about 2 second he cam running back towards the crew.
A large man sat in the middle of the path.
The robed man vanished into the panicking town.
--------------
He was a large and muscular man, he wore torn red pants and carried a huge wooden club. His eye's were a dark shade of green and he had short blue hair, he had the pirate flag with the moth tattooed across his heart.
"Who are you?" asked Sanji
"Toshio." the man replied
"Usopp, Nami, go find supplies." said Sanji "We'll deal with him."
Usopp and Nami ran into the chaos of screaming people and pirates.
Toshio rose to his feet, he was a good head and shoulders taller than Sanji.
A Large amount of pirates came running towards the SH crew.
"Sprint Boost!" called Chopper as he dashed forward and drove his head into the oncoming pirates, they went crashing into the ground or against walls.
"You seem strong." said Toshio as he threw out his hand and stopped Chopper in his tracks.
"What the..." started Chopper but he stopped as Toshio grabbed both of his horns and hoisted him into the air, he threw him into the sky, rose his club and found Sanji's foot in his stomach. Toshio flew backwards, he slammed against a wooden wall and fell face first into the ground.
Luffy outstretched his hands and caught chopper who had returned to normal.
"He wasn't that strong after all." said Sanji as he wandered back towards Luffy.
"CLUB BOOMERANG!" cried a voice from behind.
Sanji spun around to find a large wooden club soaring towards him, he threw up his leg and the club smashed into his shin. Sanji's eye snapped open as he felt the bone crack. The club spun past him and knocked him to the ground.
"SANJI!" cried Luffy "You bastard!"
Luffy raced at Toshio and threw his arms behind him, they stretched on and on.
"Bring it on." smiled Toshio
"Gomu Gomu No."
"You lose." laughed Toshio
Luffy continued forward and then felt a massive blow to his head, his skin burst and blood scattered behind him..
The club came smashing into the back of Luffy's head and drove him into the ground, his arms snapped back to their original form, the club returned to Toshio who easily caught it.
"No... way..." breathed Chopper "He beat... both of them..."
"Your next reindeer." said Toshio as he whipped his club in order to remove the blood.
"I'm not finished yet." said Luffy as he spat blood from his cut lip.
"Still alive." said Toshio in surprise "I'm impressed."
Luffy rose to his feet and glared at his opponent, he could barely see Toshio, his vision was obscurred and he felt like he was gonna be sick, he tried to walk forward but stumbled and fell to his knees.
Toshio stood above Luffy and laughed, he rose the club high above his head and aimed it straight at Luffy's head.
"RUMBLE BALL!" cried Chopper "GUARD BOOST!"
Toshio brought his club straight down onto a huge brown hairball.
Chopper screamed in pain as his Guard boost was broken, he slammed into luffy and they skidded into a wall. Chopper moved to Heavy boost and grabbed Luffy's shoulders.
"What the hell!" snarled Toshio "I'm amazed that you can still move."
"Luffy can you stand?" asked Chopper as he turned into his jumping point and leaped head first into Toshio's chest.
Toshio stumbled backwards and drove his club into the ground to regain his balance
"I'll finish this in two minutes." said Chopper
---------------------
Nami and Usopp found an abandoned store with plenty of food. and object.
They grabbed some wood and rope from behind the counters, then they raided the shelves for food and anything of value
"Is this enough?" asked Usopp as his large brown bag was completely full.
"For Luffy no." said Nami "But it'll have to do."
"Let's find Luffy and get outta here." said Usopp
The two left the shop and sped back along the path to find Luffy
---------------------
Luffy's vision was finally returning and he was no longer stumbling, he found himself sitting against a wall, he looked around the village, it was empty excepts for the few villagers who remained and the laughing pirates..
"How the hell did his club break luffy's skin?" thought Chopper as he leaped into the air "The club shouldv'e hurt but not cause any real damage. and why do I keep losing power when I get near it, it's only a wooden club."
Chopper landed on Toshio's back and slammed his hoove into the back of Toshio's head.
Toshio roared with anger and threw the reindeer of off him.
"You're annoying." moaned Toshio
"Arm point." called Chopper as he transformed yet again.
"How many stupid forms do you have."
"Kokutei Roseo!"
Chopper vanished and reappeared underneath Toshio but by the time he realized this it was too late, Chopper drove himself upwards and rammed his hoove directly under Toshio's chin. Toshio went flying into the sky with a trail of blood raining from the sky, he smashed through a roof and remained there.
Chopper returned to normal and walked over to Luffy
"Good work." laughed Luffy
"Luffy!" yelled Usopp as he and Nami came running along the path "HELP!"
About twenty pirates were racing after them.
"Chopper get Sanji and let's go." said Luffy
Chopper turned into his horn point and flipped Sanji onto his back and just in time as his rumble ball ran out, he quickly changed to sprint boost.
Luffy waited as Usopp, Nami, and Chopper headed towards the cove.
"I'll wait here." said Nami
"Why?" asked Usopp
"In case Luffy get's into any more trouble."
"you sure?" said Chopper
"If we're not back in five minutes send Zoro." Said Nami
"Right!" said Chopper
Chopper and Usopp set of down the path, Nami took cover.
"Gomu Gomu No Gatling Gun."
Luffy's launched a barrage of punches that clobbered all the pirates into submission.
The pirates who were still conscious suddenly shook in fear as three figures appeared behind a firey hut.
The figure threw severel dead townsfolk down towards the pirates.
"That's going to be you soon." said a young boy as he emerged, he was short with a short black hair and dark eye's. he wore black denims and a black vest.
His tattoo was on his cheek.
The second figure was very skinny, he had bright blue eye's and long blonde hair, he wore a red jacket and black pants.
"Who are you?" asked Luffy
"I'm Kiranji." said the boy "The Tiger Moth's second mate and son of Captain Kaito."
"I'm Shoro" said the blonde haired skinny man "I'm the first mate of the Tiger Moth Pirates"
"You guys don't look that strong." said Luffy
"You shouldn't judge by appearances Straw Hat." said the third voice as he threw three pieces of paper at him.
Luffy caught them and saw that they were three wanted posters.
One was of him and his 100 million bounty.
The other two showed the pictures of Kuranji and Shoro who were both wanted for 97 million Beli.
Luffy looked surprised.
The third figure turned his back to Luffy and spoke "There is a hidden treasure on this Island, if you value your life then take you crew and get lost, get in our way and I'll kill you."
Luffy glared at the third figure and asked "Are you Kaito?"
"I am" he said
"Next time we meet, I'm gonna send you flying" said Luffy confidently
"Fool." laughed Kaito "It's your funeral. and I can fly."
Luffy glared at him again, but realzied that defeating all 3 of them would be difficult and he was still suffering from his head wound, he turned and ran towards Nami.
Nami joined him and they ran out of sight of the pirates.
Toshio burst out of the home that he fell into and watched as Luffy vanished in the distance.
"Do not underestimate them next time, Toshio." said Kaito "I'm going to enjoy this."
"Yes captain." said Toshio
"Let's go." said Kaito
