(This is just a start to the story, but I felt i should at least write down a start. I plan on writing more,and of course plan on coming back to edit chapters. If you find an issue I should change, dont be afraid to review and I'll fix it. Enjoy the first draft of my first chapter)
( thanks to "the lost samurai" for the idea)
( For mobile readers, I realize the line breaks look bad on the smaller screen, I'm gonna fix them, but I'm Trying to see if there is a way to do it without straight up removing them.)
" Run! Bandits. From the mountain. Hurry!" The old mayor panicked as the door behind him opened, and a tall red cloaked man walked forward. The usually loud bustling bar was filled with silent tension.A quick, blunt hit to the back of the mayor's head was enough to drop him to the ground limply. The hardwood floor creaked as the man, who called himself "Higuma the Bear" stepped over the mayor's unconscious body and walked toward the bar counter.
Higuma leaned over the counter and asked " I need four barrels" He was looking around the room while waiting for a response. Weakly, the green haired girl behind the counter said " We just sold our last bottle, If you wait, Im expecting a shipment before the night rush tonight"
" What kind of bar runs out of booze? Who'd you sell it to?" " The man in the far booth" the green haired girl pointed towards the back wall, released a sigh, and picked up the glasses she dropped, as Higuma paced towards the back corner of the bar. The man sitting in the booth had a wide-brimmed black hat which
hid his face. " I'm gonna need that bottle"
The man looked up and Higuma took in his face. The man had black hair, a short beard, mustache, and sharp yellow eyes. The man looked back at the table and took another drink. " Where are you looking?" Higuma said, grabbing the man. The black hatted man stood, and it was apparent he was a more opposing man than higuma. Although Higuma was a proud 6'3, he was still at least 3 inches shorter than him.
Pulling out the sword hanging from his hip, Higuma prepared to swing. Where there was once a sword, just a handle was held. The man's arm was at his side, but loosely held what looked to be a golden cross with a small blade as the bottom half.. Dropping the handle of the former sword, Higuma pulled his first back and threw a punch. Before the hit connected, a single push from the hatted man sent Higuma to the ground.
Standing back up, Higuma turned around and saw his bandits were already running out the door. Trying to follow them was a mistake. He felt a strong hit to the back of his head, and was immediately surrounded by black. Leaving the body on the floor, the man sat back down and saw a small child looking at him from across the table." Who are you? What's your name?" the small child dark haired boy asked. " Mihawk," the man replied, " My name's Mihawk."
(This is shorter then I expect to make the other chapters, but I got what I wanted to happen in a shorter time
then I expected. As this whole story will be a rough draft, I plan on making consistent edits, and once the story
is completed, I'll copy the chapters onto a new story)
