Smoker And Tashigi Special : The Tactical Fiend (P3)

Well, time for confrontation. This story is a lot

shorter than i thought it would be, well, smaller than my other anyways. Enjoy.

--------------

Smoker's ship gets within boarding distance. They set

the boards from one ship to the next, Smoker right in

the front line with Tashigi , the large number of

officers waiting behind them for orders.

From eyes view, the ship looked abandoned. There was a

giant hole in the railing on the other ship that was

easily noticeable.

" So are we ready sir? The men are ready and the ship

looks clear sir!" Tashigi said as she held her sword

and had her glasses up.

A smile appears on Smoker's face as he looks at the

other Navy ship. " Very clever Denzo."

Tashigi looks at him confused. "What do you mean by

that sir?"

"Can't you smell it Tashigi?" Smoker responds,

pointing at the deck of the other ship.

Tashigi still looks confused but takes a few deep

sniffs of the air, her nose twitching cutely. She

mostly smelt the salty air, same as usually. Nothing

out of the ordinary. "I don't smell anything?"

Smokers smile disappears. "The ships laced in

gunpowder."

"What!" Tashigi said surprised. Mostly because she

didn't know how Smoker could tell.

"Captain Smoker?" a low, raspy voice called from the

other ship. " I knew you were close but made much

better time than I expected?"

Every officer on Smoker's ship looked frantically to

find where the voice was coming from. Tashigi was even

lost by were the voice came from. There was no one in

sight.

Smoker thou, looked straight up at the other ship's

lookout post and saw Denzo, leaning against the side

all cool and relaxed. "Come down quietly so we can

take you down to central command or do you want to do

this the hard way?" He took out his beating stick

(Plume Stick) and pointed it to Denzo. The rest of the

crew looked up to see the fearsome looking man in a

giant general outfit.

Denzo laughed hard and smiled. Even threw the bandages you could tell he had a giant smile under it. " Does

central command still have those nice blue drapes in

the main lobby? The lighting in the room was perfect.

Peek of sunrise and you could see the whole base?"

Denzo raised his arms laughing, revealing the his

general suit he stole. Everything was normal about it,

except the sleeves. It seems the sleeves covered his

whole arm and almost touched the ground when he was

standing perfectly straight. From the below view

everyone had of him, they could easily tell he just

sew another coat's sleeve onto the general jacket to

make that effect. They could even see the stitch marks "It feels good to be wearing one of these again!"

"What? Is this guy suicidally depressed or something"

Tashigi said, very confused.

Denzo continues to laugh and stops, leaning over the

lookout post, his sleeves dangling above Smoker and

Tashigi. "So hammer, are you going to walk on this

ship with all your men and risk me blowing the ship

up, sinking you AND your men with it!" Denzo voice was

in no way sounding excited but instead depressed.

Smoker gave a little chuckle at Denzo's plan. "You

knew I was coming so you set a trap. How predictable."

Smoker sounded just as serious and confident as ever.

"Tashigi!"

Tashigi jumps at the sound of her name and turns to

Smoker. 'Yes sir?"

"Go on the ship alone and take him down" is all Smoker

said without even looking at her.

Denzo hearing this, starts to laugh like crazy. "AHAHAHAHA, oh thats good!" he said, stopping his

laughing and started to sound more menacing. " Sending

your strongest person alone to defeat me, knowing I

wouldn't risk my life blowing the ship just to take

one of you military dogs out, except to kill you?"

"Oh, I get it sir!" she said relieved. She thought

she was going to be sacrificed by Smoker or something

like that. "I'll do my best sir!"

Smoker stands still and nudges her to walk towards the other ship.

Tashigi walks atop of the boarding plank, looking down to see the ocean, then the floor of Denzo's ship.

"Fool" he says suddenly as he jumps from the lookout post, aiming to land on Tashigi as he falls down straight, sleeves in the air, legs pointing down. "I don't know what your naval dog name is but I'll be sure to find out when I kill you!"

Tashigi chuckles as she watches Denzo jump unarmed, vulnerable. "This'll be easy!" she says confidently as she draws her sword and ready to swing.

"MOVE!" Smoker yells, extending his arm with his Smoke Smoke Power. "Smoke Strike!" he yells as his slight punch shoves Tashigi out of the way of where Denzo lands.

Tashigi is pushed but not fallen by Smoker's attack. "What the hell's your problem sir! He was vulnerable!" she yells to her commander, pointing your sword at him.

"Watch" he says from his ship, pointing towards Denzo, who's about to hit the ground.

" WHAT!" Denzo barks pissed as he lands feet first into the floor Tashigi WAS standing at, his boots going threw the floor. He has to use force to take his feet out of the floor one by one. "Damn! How the hell did he know my shoes were leaded!"

Tashigi looks at the hole in the ship that would be her if not for Smoker. She pauses for a second and looks at Smoker. " Thank you sir?" she said very sincerely.
