Grand Line: Land of Wano
In the Kuri Region, on the beach not far from Amigasa Village, you could see an unconscious man lying on the sand. It was a young man with long maroon hair that he had tied into the back using a hair tie, in addition to having bangs in front of his forehead, the sides of his head, and that stands up, long eyelashes. He was dressed in a kimono with what appears like bird wings designed on the sleeves and tail feathers on the bottom. He wore also feather earrings. This man was Suzaku.
He seemed almost in meditation as he was so calm, but suddenly he began to gesticulate and sweat slightly, then suddenly he opened his dark red eyes and stood up, holding his sword firmly by the scabbard, close. to draw, teeth clenched. Then after finally calming down, he released the grip on his weapon.
Suzaku (sits cross-legged): Strange, I don't remember going to the coast. Anyway, I have to go t-
The Dragon Eater, who had just got up, stopped when it smelled a familiar scent, that of the open sea. He only realized now that he was on a beach. Several questions ran through his head: Where was he? What was he doing here? Did the Dragon Gods have anything to do with this? One thing was certain, despite all his questions, he felt at peace. It was nothing new, the offshore wind had always had this calming effect on him. Already a child, he always fled to the port of his city as soon as he had time, especially at sunset. Its glow reminded him of that of a candle near a bed, that of an andon flying away in a night sky, that… that… that of an infernal fire that devours everything in its path. When the samurai came to his senses, a few drops of sweat began to bead on his forehead again.
Suzaku (calmly, catches his breath): Well, better go to town, maybe I'll find some information there.
Neither one nor two, he set off again and headed for the forest. He told himself that he would have no trouble finding a town or at least a village.
If only.
Land of Wano ~ Flower Capital
After getting lost about three or four times, moving from one region to another without meeting anyone, Suzaku had finally found a town. And oddly, it reminded him of many memories, both in the outfits and the architecture, even if he would have liked the opposite, given the last memory he had of it... Nevertheless, what really surprised him was twice he had tried to ask for directions and twice he had been avoided. Moreover, as soon as he arrived, Suzaku felt all eyes on him, yet among all the kimonos and swords, he was not the most conspicuous. But it was also necessary to recognize that among all the swords that he had been able to see on the belt of the inhabitants, his was rather intimidating, as much by the size as by the scabbard's shape mostly twisted and thus diverging from the others, unless it's her earrings.
Suzaku: Weird, why do they always avoid me?
?: Hey you!
Suzaku: Hmm?
When he turned around, Suzaku saw seven men, including two dressed in kimono including one with a sword and a haori, another muscular for ten and the others armed with rifles or crossbows and wearing similar outfits mostly in leather and fur. They seemed unfriendly and eager to talk, only the somewhat loud call had also attracted the attention of a good part of the civilians.
Suzaku: Greetings.
?: Can we know who you are?
Suzaku: My name is Suzaku and I would like to know-
?: He just want to know if you're from the Kyoshiro Family or if you're under the orders of the Shogun, dumbass.
Suzaku: Kyoshiro? Shogun? Forgive me, but I don't think you understand. I'm not from here.
?: You're the one who doesn't understand! Or you say who you are...
?: ...Or we kick your ass. By the way, give me your weapon, it looks pretty good... for me.
Suzaku (seriously, places his right hand on the hilt): Come get it, if you dare.
? (draws his sword): Very well. You would have wanted it.
The man then rushed at Suzaku, but when he met his gaze, he warned as if he seemed a blow. Everyone saw the man with the feather earrings sprint towards the pseudo-samurai, but no one saw him hit him with his sword, not even the latter, although he felt the impact. A few seconds passed while the opponents were there without moving, planted like stone columns in the ground.
?: Well then, what are you waiting for to cut him?
Suzaku: Impossible.
?: And why?
Suddenly, the blade shattered while the haori and the top of the kimono were torn. Their owner, him, found himself spitting blood on the ground, with a gash at the level of the left ribs to the top of the navel.
Suzaku: 'tis because it is already done... for me.
? (also rushes at Suzaku): You!
? (loads his crossbow): Watch out!
As he prepared to deliver a violent punch to Fifth Generation Dragon Slayer, the latter passed in a fraction of a second the man who now had his chest severed from the left shoulder to the right abdomen. The spectators were shocked and started to run away.
? (shoot with his rifle): Take it!
When the bullet was fired, the Dragon Eater had returned to a neutral position against their opponents, however it appeared that the shot had failed.
?: What the- I don't understand! I'm sure I aimed for the head!
? (shoot with his crossbow): Leave it to me!
This time he only saw their opponent's hair move, but he did see the arrow split in two and fall to the ground. They soon realized what was going on, the young man advancing towards them.
? (frightened): I dream, he cut the arrow too fast to be seen. Don't tell me he did the same with the bullet.
?: Don't talk bullshit! He must have dodged it, or else he ate a Devil Fruit! We just have to shoot him all at once.
Suzaku: For your information, I didn't eat any fruit or devil for acquire this power...
They saw too late that their target had passed behind them, and in an instant, the men were left with multiple gashes on their bodies, while their weapons were all destroyed.
Suzaku: ...only a dragon.
Onigashima
For the thirty-sixth time of the week, Kaido was drunk, and his Lead Performers, King and Jack, were at the door in case something happened, like now.
Piquet (runs): King-sama! Jack-sama!
Jack: What?
Piquet (breathless): Well actually- Wait a minute, where is Queen-sama?
King: Double Lard returned to binge in Udon. But it's not up to you to ask yourself the questions, what did you want to tell us?
Piquet (terrified, at attention): Sorry! We got a call from Flower Capital. A samurai has already knocked out seven of our men, and it's still going. Given its strength, they think it could be one of those famous Akaza-
King (ignites his hand with a dark gaze): One more word and you'll end up on the grill!
Piquet (he starts to run away): I SAY NOTHING MORE, PROMISE KING-SAMA!
Jack: Go get the tobi roppo siblings.
Piquet (stops): Ulti-sama and Page One-sama?
King (will really roast it): Who else, you filthy mutt?!
Piquet (flees in fear): I AM GOING RIGHT NOW!
King: And tell your fleabag boss and his pack to come too!
Piquet: AYE!
The Conflagration then began to walk following the disappearance of the Gifter, closely followed by the Drought.
Jack: Why you want to send him with the Canine Squad?
King (stops and turns to Jack): A problem, Whiting Head?!
Jack (tense): Nope. I forget that with him it's not just his body that fires up quickly.
King (keep walking): Furthermore...
Jack: Hmm?
King: I want to see the true effectiveness of these Smile. If we could avoid getting screwed over by Doflamingo, it would save us dealing with them.
YO, this is DJ-Zombie on the decks!
You've been waiting for it... After months of waiting... it's here... THE CHAPTER 2 OF SWORD OF THE OCEAN!
So, I hope this chapter has you more. After all, fate (meaning you) has so decided: Suzaku will join Kaido's ranks. But for those who wanted him to be at Big Mom, I have good news... I decided to do two stories! So this story will be centered on Suzaku in Wano and the other on Suzaku in Totto Land. So yes, there will be a sequel to Amande and Suzaku's relationship. Thus, this story will be called "Back to origins" and the other will no longer be "Alternative Choice" but "A sweet journey".
For this famous Canine Squad, she is inspired by la brigade canine (as we say in French). It is under the orders of the mysterious Tobi Roppo, composed only of Canine Smile users, and complementary to the Armored Division. The only clues I can give you about him is that in terms of physics, he is inspired by Kcalb and his name is an Italian card game. I also plan to use two Gifters seen in Kurau City and one of them has a similar power to their leader's Devil Fruit, it's up to you to find the exact species.
PS: I'm still waiting for your response on the couple in this story, Ulti or Black Maria?
It was DJ-Zombie on the decks, TCHAO!
