The Light Speed Admiral
Chapter 3: Silver's Demise
Previously, Admiral Kizaru and Vice Admiral Momonga had been ordered by the Fleet Admiral Sengoku to deal with a large group of pirates that boast over three hundred members. Having made the short trip to Hookbait Island they discovered the town burned and around half the population massacred and left to rot. Though the two were able to find some survivors, Most of the men were killed in the initial attack led by the now revealed pirate and slaver Captain Sliver and his crew and he has imprisoned most of the surviving women and children in cages to be shipped off to the nearest slave setting up a quick plan to free the prisoners Kizaru then meets Silver, who challenges Kizaru to defeat his horde.
(Kizaru's point of view)
"Well that was certainly entertaining." said Kizaru as the pirate he had kicked was sent flying so fast he was launched off the island, most likely dead.
"Ooooh, so who is my next opponent?" asked Kizaru
The men retaliate with pistol and cannon fire though that proves useless as Kizaru stands in the same spot unflinching with same look on his face. The pirates are to busy trying to kill the admiral they don't see the little smirk on his face as the kept firing. When the volley of gunfire stops, they look in shock to see the marine standing tall and relaxed as before like nothing happened.
"WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS GUY." screamed one of the pirates.
Two pirates behind Kizaru went to shoot him from behind in the head but were shocked when the bullet merely passed through him like nothing.
"Ahhh was that all you had in you, pirate?" asked Kizaru
The pirate did not even have time to react as Kizaru disappeared from everyone's sight including Silver's who was conventley watching from the deck of his ship. Kizaru reappeared in a bright flash of light and proceeded to fire a laser beam from his index finger through the criminals head. Silver looked on in enjoyment as he watched the hole in the pirate's head form.
"Whoever this man is he's not a basic marine that's for sure. Maybe he is the one." whispered Sliver
"Amaterasu"
Kizaru raises his right hand in the air in the form of a peace sign, a bright light then blinds all the pirates surrounding him.
"AHHH I CAN'T SEE!" screamed the horde of pirates.
The bright light disperses and Kizaru is nowhere to be seen. Reappearing above them Kizaru thrusts his right leg down towards the horde as a beam of light is fired from his leg and explodes on the surface of the beach killing majority of the pirates bellow.
"I need to make sure to keep my power to a minimum, there might be people trapped in those ships." thought Kizaru
Kizaru looked on towards the remaining pirates taking a deep breath in he vanishes from their sight once more. He appears to left of an unsuspecting pirate and with a light enhanced kick, the pirate is launched into the ocean followed by his two remaining allies.
"Well that was too easy, even if I was holding back. I wonder how the Vice Admiral is doing?" said Kizaru
(Momonga's point of view)
While Kizaru was fighting the horde of pirates, Momonga quietly slipped by to release the captives imprisoned on the beach. Upon reaching the very large cages, he took this sword and broke the locks each of the cage doors. He was greeted by the sight of scared civilians trying their best to stay away from him despite the cramp conditions.
"Please don't take us away." said one of the women
"Yes we promise to stay quiet." said another captive
"It's okay I am here to set you all free, but you need to be really quiet okay." said Momonga peacefully
"Really, you are here to save us." said a woman who began to cry at the prospect of being saved.
"Yes, I'm a marine and we've been sent here to help. My superior officer is handling the horde responsible for this." said Momonga
"Oh thank you, thank you." said the crying woman
"Alright now I need you to head to the Sunflower Orphanage, that is where the other survivors are staying for now, okay?" said Momonga
"Yes and thank you for helping us really." said the woman with gratitude
"One more thing how many of you are here and where are the others?" asked Momonga
"There is roughly six hundred of us here. The rest are either on the ships or already sent off to become slaves." said one woman
"Okay I'll try to set the others I find free okay and listen I will call some back up from our ship to protect the orphanage okay." said Momonga
"Oh, you truly are a nice man." said one of the younger women
"Thank you miss, now quickly you need to go now." said Momonga
The large group of prisoners left quietly so that no one would notice them making their way to the Orphanage until the marines returned.
"Alright better call in help." said Momonga taking out a small den-den mushi.
(Marine ship)
"Prururururu-prurururu-prurururu, Oi someone answer the call." yelled one marine
"Okay, stop yelling. Hello this is seaman first class, Johei speaking." said Johei
"Ah Johei, good good listen this is Vice Admiral Momonga we have found the pirate horde and Admiral Kizaru is engaging them as we speak. I set free a bunch of prisoners held by the pirates and there's no time to go into detail, I need you to take roughly twenty men out and head to a building called the Sunflower Orphanage and protect the survivors I sent there. It has a picture of a sunflower on the roof, very hard to miss." ordered Momonga
"Yes sir, we'll head out now." said Johei
"I will warn you the pirates did a serious number on the town and it's residents. So stay focused." finished Momonga hanging up
"Oi men, we have orders from the Vice Admiral to head into the town and protect an orphanage with survivors from an apparent pirate attack." said Johei
"Those bastards!"
"They'll pay with their blood." said the screaming marines
"Don't worry Admiral Kizaru is engaging them, they don't stand a chance." said Johei
"Yeah!"
"As expected from an Admiral." said the marines with vigor
"Okay men let's head out, grab a rifle and let's go." said Johei
(Hookbait main beach)
"Okay the women and children at the sunflower will have some protection, that's good." said Momonga to himself
"Now to get on that ship, I know." said Momonga
"Geppo!"
Kicking his way into the air Momonga begins to kick his way through the air to the ship. He makes it to the deck to the first of the two large ships and enters through the wooden hatch in front of him.
"Alright, now where is everybody?" said Momonga
Walking down and exploring the inside of the ship, Momonga found where the pirates had been keeping them. He was disgusted with the conditions of this vessel.
"Filthy pirates." said Momonga
"AH, who's there?" said a voice in the dark
Momonga looks to his right and takes one of the lanterns on the side to give him enough light to see the person addressing him. He sees more women chained to the wall and on the floor stacked like objects.
"Oh good lord no." said Momonga
"Listen, I'm here to rescue all of you okay" said Momonga as he begins to cut the chains holding the women with his blade.
"Your here to help us?" said the voice
"Yes I am, now can any of you walk?" asked Momonga
"I think most of us can, they try to keep us well enough in order for our sale price to stay high enough for them." said one woman
"Goddamn pirates" thought Momonga
Momonga had finished cutting the binds off the captives and helped them up and begins to explain the plan on getting them home.
"Okay look my superior is out there fighting those cretins but don't worry he will take care of them so for now we'll wait until it is safe for all of you to come out okay. I'll protect you." said Momonga
"Thank you kind sir." said the women
"I just hope the Admiral has this bastard in chains or better yet, he's already killed him by now. I might take a look up top to see how he's doing." said Momonga quietly
(Kizaru point of view)
"Your men are dead, I suggest you come down here and face me Captain Silver." said Kizaru
"Well, well, well you are strong. A devil fruit user too hehehehehehehehehe." said the laughing Silver
"Though I will admit that I have never encountered a devil fruit such as yours Admiral Kizaru." said Silver
"Soooo you do know how I am." said Kizaru
"Of course I do. Information is an important form of currency in this world." said Silver
"Still those men were pathetically weak but, you handled them like pests. It makes me real excited for this." said the crazy captain
"But still what is with that fruit of yours anyway?"
"I ate the pika pika no mi. I'm a light man, a logia." said Kizaru
"Oooooh a logia eh. This is going to be exciting." said Silver with excitement
Silver jumped high into the air landing hard on his feet with no discomfort in front of Kizaru. He stares at the Admiral with excited eyes, ready to draw blood. Kizaru looks over to him with the same expression he always carried on his face. The stare down feels as if it has gone on forever. Kizaru and Silver, it was only a matter of time until one of them springs into action.
"Soru!"
Silver in a burst of speed rushes Kizaru. Kizaru dodges his initial punch but Silver kept coming forward and forward trying to put pressure on the marine.
"Your soooooo sloow." commented Kizaru
"Don't get too full of yourself there, just because you killed all of them does not mean I will follow them into the underworld." said Silver trying to catch the Admiral
"Soru"
Rushing to the left silver tries to hit Kizaru's chest but the attack was blocked by Kizaru's arms. To Kizaru's slight surprise Silver could actually touch his logia body. Only one thing came to his mind on how.
"Yooooouu have haki?" said Kizaru
Silver's grin only grew wider in response, making Kizaru sigh because he will have to deal with a mentally unstable haki user.
"Just great, this will be more annoying than I wished." thought Kizaru
Bringing in his left foot up, Kizaru delivers a side kick to Silver's chest causing him to be launched of the ground for a moment. He continues to tumble through the sand like a rag-doll until as he is rolling backwards he pushes his feet down into the sand to stop moving.
"Whoa, that's quite a kick you got there. But no matter." said Silver
"Geppo"
Silver kicks himself into the air, all the while laughing like a madman. Silver takes out a silver dagger from inside his coat and looks at Kizaru with insane eyes.
"Heehehehehehe, alright let's goooo!" yelled Silver as he begins to spin with his dagger in hand.
"Geppo"
"Soru"
"Raging Silver Hurricane!"
Silver using Geppo, he kicked from his position in the sky while using soru to move at a high speed, spinning with his dagger like a wicked miniature storm. Kizaru looks at his opponent in surprise at such a move and wonders how much practice must have went in to it's development.
"Ahhhhh, probably should avoid that move." said Kizaru
"Kami-e"
As Silver's attack reaches him, Kizaru simply dodges all the wild slashes like it was nothing. Silver looked over to see Kizaru unharmed though did not relent as he kept attacking. Never stopping Kizaru needed to move so he dispersed into light and reappeared up above Silver charging a light power beam from his right leg. Kizaru fires a beam of light down and explodes, though doubts his target was killed.
"Geppo"
Silver launches himself through the smoke and with his dagger in his mouth prepared to take on the admiral in the air.
"Shigan"
Silver extends both of his index fingers and fires a rapid number of strikes, Kizaru disperses into light and reappears on the ground once more. Silver not letting up on his attack decided to kick things up a notch.
"Rankyaku"
Silver launched a powerful wave of compressed air at the admiral, but Kizaru countered with a beam of light from his leg causing a massive explosion knocking Silver back into the sand.
"Heehehehehehe, this is fun. I have not been this excited by anyone in a long while." said Silver enjoying his time fighting Kizaru.
"Hmmm, you are interesting. But I must ask where on earth did you learn Rokushiki?" asked Kizaru
"I was once a recruit for the world governments Cipher Pol initiative." said Silver
"You were part of Cipher Pol?" said Kizaru
"Hehe, no I was one of their failed recruits they used to try and create loyal super soldiers or whatever the fuck they wanted. I failed the mental examinations and other tests about my loyalty to those World Government pricks." said Silver
"If that's the case how are you here right now? There is no way they would let someone as strong as you out, especially with your knowledge of their training methods." said Kizaru
"You are right about that but I may have failed their little loyalty tests, I still exceeded in the combat area of the experiments. I managed to escape by fighting my way through dozens of armed guards and instructors. Very few people have been able to go a few rounds with me one on one, but you and about a handful of others have." Said Silver
"What about this whole situation?" asked Kizaru
"Huh, what do you mean." responded Silver
"I mean these people. You and your men attacked, tortured and even raped some of them, to what end huh. So you can keep them in line or so you can earn money. Was that your game plan when you decided to come here of all places, near Marineford? asked Kizaru
"Hehehehehehehehehe. Really? You're still hung up over that sheeesh. You would think a man like you would get it now. To answer your question yes I did all of this because I can and that I like feeling the pure pleasure of knowing I'm the only being that keeps them alive when I've caught them, that I'm the one that gets paid for something so simple to me. I'd rather do this and embrace the desires inside me and not groveling on the dirt like some weakling. I did this because I could you fucking bastard." said Silver
"And you really think that you can do all of this with no consequences?" asked the light man
"Really do I have to point this out? I became a pirate because they could do whatever they pleased. Being a pirate represents my desires in a whole from the joy of pillaging, drinking to my hearts content and taking any woman I desired. It is a chaotic world of degenerates and I'm glad to be part of it. This place really is paradise in comparison to the New World. Except of course until you showed up and gate crashed my party. But to answer you question, people can try and stop me but no matter what consequences have come for me in the past have all been erased, just like how you will be when I'm done with you marine. said Silver
"No you won't. You must be brought to justice for the crimes you have committed against the innocents here." said Kizaru
"Justice? hehehehehehe justice is a joke, a pathetic ideal used by the government to do whatever they want. As long as it falls under their belief of justice then nobody is safe." said Silver
"Then I will just have to show you what justice is capable of." said Kizaru
Kizaru dispersed into light and reappeared behind Silver. When he turned around Kizaru had a light enhanced kick wait for him. Silver went flying into one of the ships, he quickly recovered and shot up into the sky.
"Raging Silver Hurricane!"
Kizaru jumped back to avoid the spinning captain's attack. Silver stopped, looked at Kizaru then begins to slash the air with his dagger creating several compressed air blades directed towards the admiral.
"Tempest Barrage!"
"Kami-e"
Kizaru begins to dodge as the barge of wind keeps coming. Silver stops briefly and decided to rush Kizaru once more. Even though he thought it was a foolish idea, Kizaru had to admit the man is fearless. Silver tries to cut at Kizaru's torso though is quickly countered by the admiral grabbing Silver's arm bending it backwards and finally breaking it. Silver screams in pleasure of being injured but refuses to back down as he makes to the skies once more.
"Geppo!"
"Well this is quite the problem is it not?" inquired Silver
"The fact that you won't surrender or die quietly." responded Kizaru
"Oh really, huh please we both know you won't let me leave here alive." said Silver
Kizaru's only response was shifting into his light form and appearing behind Silver. Then with his long left leg he kicks him down to earth once more. Silver gets back up his dagger gone, his right arm broken and useless but he refuses to grovel and hope for mercy. He is a pirate, he does what wants because he desires it and if he dies then so what. A short life and a merry one.
"Soru!"
Silver rushes Kizaru once more firing punch after punch, kick after kick but the admiral was blocking and firing a few punches back at him. But Silver kept going and going but Kizaru still had speed and the strength that far surpassed what Silver had. Though Silver remained defiant as he jumped into the air and landed behind the admiral hoping to hit his blind spot, Kizaru felt his presence and countered with a kick to Silvers torso though he did not go flying this time. He stumbled backwards then with a loud scream he jumped back in to the fight. As they continued to fight Silver's body began to ache from the admirals attacks and soon their little one on one brawl came to an end when Kizaru delivered a wicked roundhouse kick to Silver's temple. Silver is knocked back by the hit, now laying on the floor unable to move, coughing blood as he lay on the floor. His right arm, left leg and several ribs had been broken in their fight and now the admiral takes a step closer to the fallen captain.
"Hehehehe, you are the real deal." said Silver coughing up blood
"You fought well enough. Though your haki was quite weak if I must say." said Kizaru
"Hehehehe yeah fuck you too. Well I suppose that this is all over now eh?" said Silver
"Yes, this is over you are too dangerous to be left on your own whether it be in a jail cell or at sea. I cannot in good conscious let you leave here alive." said Kizaru
"Hehe I guess not but at least I found someone who gave me a great and joyful fight even if you were holding back." said Silver
"Oooooh so you knew?" said Kizaru with the same carefree tone
"Fuck yeah I did. I knew from looking at you fight my crew that I was a dead man, but fuck it. I doubled down and went in knowing my immediate death was standing in front of me but I couldn't care. It has been soooooo long since I got beaten this badly from someone who wasn't as into the fight as I was. Honestly it feels like the Cipher Pol initiative all over again." said Silver
"You definitely had the potential to be much stronger then you are now. Though you went off to sea with your current strength not improving or evolving though somehow you were able to retain what you had already thinking it was enough." said Kizaru
"Hehehehe I said it before and i'll say it again, I like you. You really are a terrifying bastard, your strength, combat skills but what is most really scary about you is that speed of yours. You are no doubt the fastest man I've ever fought, more so than Lucci, the smug prick." said Silver as he spat out more blood
"Lucci, Rob Lucci?" asked Kizaru
"Yeah, smug bastard beat me black and blue more times than I could count. Fastest man I knew until you turned up. Back then it was old Rob or myself when it came to whoever was number one in strength, we were rivals I guess but eventually we decided to settle the score and well. I didn't exactly win, he grew stronger and complied with those pricks while I was defiant. He gained strength which I did not have, a master of rokushiki and sadistic personality. He was one of the few people I was ever scared to fight." said Silver
"Hmmm well as enlightening as this has been. I guess your time here is done here Silver." said Kizaru as he points his index finger at Silver
"Before you kill me you have to know my death will come with it's own set of problems for you. Look I know I'm not leaving here so forget that. There are people stronger then me much stronger and when they find out who killed me, they will be gunning for you, admiral or not they will still come after you. This golden age of piracy will prevail and all of you marines put to death as we pirates continue to grow in power and numbers. Your precious Marineford will be your grave." coughed Silver
"Who are you talking about?" asked Kizaru
"Hehehehe, powerful enemies that cling to the shadows..." said Silver ominously
Kizaru with his glinting finger pointed at the bleeding criminal and fired a piercing laser beam through Silver's head ending his tyranny over the island and it's inhabitants. Kizaru looks a Silver's corpse and sighs taking out a small den den mushi from his jacket pocket, he calls Momonga to see if he is alright with his side of things.
"Ah sir is everything okay?"asked Momonga
"Yes, Silver is dead and so are his men. Are the prisoners okay." said Kizaru
"Yes I freed the captives on the beach and sent them to the Sunflower. I also took the liberty of calling the men from our ship to protect the building should anything go wrong. I also freed the women inside the ship though I was waiting until the fighting stopped before trying to move them all. said Momonga
"Ah yes good well we should head to the Sunflower then, come down from the ship and escort the civilians there." Kizaru ordered
Following his orders Momonga led the free women to the deck and lowered a plank down so they could all make it to the beach. Ignoring the damage to the main beach Momonga met with Kizaru he ushered the rest of the women to follow them to the orphanage. Upon reaching the orphanage they were welcomed by the sound of screaming but not of danger but of joy that some of their family and friends still walk the earth. Morgan, Chiyo and Kallai came outside to see the marines guarding the building salute at a familiar yellow suit wearing man.
"Momonga, do you mind calling in to base and asking them for an extra patrol ship as well as a repair crew to help the rebuilding process here?" asked Kizaru
"No sir, I will get right on it." said Momonga as he left to call in for some assistance
"Ah Kizaru you've returned" said Morgan catching the admirals attention
"Oooh Morgan I see your still okay." said Kizaru
"Yes, well the extra security was a relief for us." Began Morgan
"Your back!" said Chiyo and Kallai screaming in joy that their savior had returned.
The two girls hugged Kizaru's leg tightly and did not seem like they would be letting go soon.
"Ahhh it's nice to see you too." said Kizaru
"Is the bad man gone, are we safe now?" the girls asked
"Yes it is over now. The bad man is gone and his friends too." responded Kizaru
"Thank you, thank you, thank you." the two said over and over
They both eventually let go of the admirals leg and Kizaru gave them both a gentle pat on the head and a friendly smile. Kizaru walked over to Morgan speaking to the remaining male population of the island.
"Ah Morgan can I speak to you?" asked the admiral
"Oh yes of course." said Morgan
"Momonga has called in a repair unit and an extra patrol ship from Marineford to come hear and help with the rebuilding of the town." said Kizaru
"That is amazing, thank you so much sir." said Morgan happily
"Ahh it's alright and besides you'll need help for this anyway." said Kizaru
"Well I can't thank you enough for the help you have provided. Even though it is a tragedy that has happened, we have hope. You have helped us hold on to that and for that I thank you Admiral Kizaru." said Morgan
"Hmm, well thank you. Momonga and I will have to head back to report what has happened here so we cannot stay long, my ship should be here soon." said Kizaru
"I understand, though please remember you are welcome here anytime." said Morgan
Kizaru and Momonga were ready to board their ship after saying goodbye to the civilians they had saved. All of them thanked both them and the rest of the force that had protected them and those who were staying to help with the repairs. Chiyo and Kallai kept asking Kizaru over and over again to stay, though with the interference of their father they both decided on Kizaru returning to visit when he can. Kizaru gladly agreed that should he have some free time near Hookbait Island he would visit them. Both of them were ecstatic of the idea of seeing the admiral again and as he boarded his ship they continued to shout his name and wave happily at the man who helped them.
"Justice prevails over pirates once more." said Momonga
"Indeed though I don't think it is quite over." said Kizaru
"What do you mean sir?" ask the vice admiral
"This new age of piracy we are in right now is going to be chaotic. The numbers of pirates continue to grow and anyone from a street thug to a farmer can become a pirate these days. Once upon a time that would not have been the case but that was years ago. While I believe that the marines will prevail, it will be at the cost of lives both evil and innocent." Kizaru said staring out at the sea
"That's our job sir, we volunteer to fight these scum in the name of justice. We must never forget that or we may just cross a line we never should have like some embarrassing marines in our ranks. said Momonga
"You have a point there. Alright today has been very long for both of us, time to get back to Sengoku and have a drink on a job well done eh." said Kizaru
"Well said sir, well said." Momonga replied
The Admiral and vice admiral looked back at Hookbait Island hoping the people can recover smoothly and think that maybe one day they might return but instead of being welcomed by corpses they would instead be welcomed by the sight of the friendly faces that came to see their departure.
Authors note: Hello there, man what a wicked chapter. We had a fight with Silver and his crew and some dubious details of his past and of his possible employment to someone. Now to clarify a few things, this specific story takes place a few years from when Kizaru arrives in Saboady. Around 3 years or so making Borsalino 53 years old in this story. The story up until Saboady will be more or less original in creating a new story line though still adding a few details or references from the main story. I have also thought of some new moves for the Pika Pika no mi to make it possibly more broken then it already was and I will reveal it in another chapter. Don't worry there will be plenty of more fights in the story and other confrontations with powerful characters but I will ease it in for now as Silver was fairly strong for a new pirate he was not strong enough for an admiral, so yes is very weak in comparison to other characters in one piece and other characters I have yet to introduce. He is more like a beginning boss fight in a video game, stronger than the grunts but still the weakest boss in the game. There will be others coming for Kizaru and a war is possibly brewing at Marineford but that will have to wait.
For the moves used by the characters in this chapter are:
Geppo: A technique of Rokushiki that revolves around leg strength and being able to kick the air multiple times until reaching a high enough distance above an opponent and simply float. though some could accomplish that without kicking multiple times and merely jump high enough on the first try, Silver was one such person.
Soru: A rokushiki technique that requires the user to kick of the ground ten times in a blink of an eye to move at a fast speed. It is one of the common technique known by marine officers
Kami-e: A move that improves the users flexibility increasing their dodging capabilities. This technique makes the persons body move like paper and float in order to avoid direct and rapid attacks.
Rankyaku: A powerful kick that launches a projectile of compressed air that can cut and destroy boulders.
Shigan: A strong striking move, by utilizing the index finger the user of this technique at a high speed to puncture a target leaving a bullet hole kind of wound. It is perhaps most dangerous when used rapidly against an opponent.
Raging Silver Hurricane: Silver's signature attack. He uses geppo then when up in the air takes a silver dagger out of his coat pocket and begins to spin with the dagger in his hand. Then uses Soru to add more speed and uses geppo again to launch a powerful kick downwards towards his opponent. When done successfully it should result in a miniature silver hurricane.
Tempest Barrage: Another of Silver's trade mark moves. Some how by using his arm strength along with the aid of his dagger Silver was able to slash the air repeatedly creating small wind blades to attack an opponent. This move focused on the number of air blades rather than the actual power of each blade of air.
Amaterasu: A move only able to be used by a wielder of the pika pika no mi. Kizaru raises his hand up in a peace sign formation and emits a large flash of light that can cover a large area. This move has the capability of temporarily blinding or permanently blinding someone should the wielder chose to do so. It translates to "Heavenly Illumination" and is named after the Shinto goddess of the sun Amaterasu.
Pika pika no mi: It is a logia type devil fruit eaten by Borsalino and gives him the ability to create, manipulate and become light as well as move at it's speed. The fruit itself is most notably known for giving the user incredible speed. With this devil fruit it makes Admiral Kizaru quite possibly the fastest man in the one piece world.
I do not own one piece or it's characters.
Please leave a comment and hoped you enjoyed this chapter. Again thank you and I hope you enjoy the next chapter of The Light Speed Admiral :)
