A Wild Card in the Big Blue
East Blue
No Ones P.O.V
Six couldn't take his eyes off the man that slowly flouted, and he wasn't the only one as all the chef's and even the pirates were gaping at the man. All of the chatted to themselves as they stared in disbelief at the man's work.
Six just stared at the man and never took his eyes off him for a minute. The lone man in the water wore a long coat with a large hat that had a feather, most noticeable was the large black sword on his back that looked like a cross. This was Dracule Mihawk, the worlds greatest swordsmen.
The swordsman small boat came to a stop right next to the destroyed ship. Six heard the surviving pirates yell at the swordsman, who didn't even turn them for a second. When one of the pirates fired to guns at Mihawk faster then even Six could see he brought his swords up and somehow redirected the bullets course. Six knew he was fast thanks to his Soru training, but even he couldn't keep up with Mihawk's blade. When Six looked back at the broken pirate ship he blinked when he saw Zoro standing behind the surviving pirates, even scaring them.
"How the fuck did he get there so fast?" Six asked in complete bewilderment. "Plus it's in the middle of the water."
Six question went unanswered as Zoro walked up to the swordsman. "I've never seen such graceful skill." Zoro said with a grin on his face.
Mihawk glanced at Zoro from the corner of his eye. "A sword with power alone is not powerful." He said simply and Six could understand the meaning.
The Courier knew technique was an important factor to fighting, not just swinging a sword really fast and strong will win you a fight.
"So this ship was cut apart with that sword, too?" Zoro asked while looking around.
"Of course." Mihawk said simply.
Zoro's grin widen as he looked at the swordsman. "It's clear, your the strongest!" He said with passion. "I've been sailing the seas to face you." Zoro said as he took of the bandana on his arm.
That seemed to catch Mihawk's interest a bit. "What's your mission?"
Zoro tied the bandana on his head and looked at the strongest swordsman with a wicked grin. "To beat you, and be the best." He declared creating a stun silence.
Mihawk smirked at Zoro. "Fool." He said simply.
Zoro unsheathe one of his katanas and pointed it to Mihawk. "You got time to spare, don't you? Let's duel, shall we?"
"This guy... is Zoro! The 'Three Swords' Roronoa Zoro!" One of the pirates cried out in shock.
Six raised an eyebrow at the name. He briefly heard about a bounty hunter that used three swords, who also happened to be a master swordsman. Six wondered how someone could use three swords... unless they had a third arm somewhere.
"Duel?" Mihawk said before glancing at Zoro. "Such a pitiful weakling."
Suddenly Mihawk jumped of his boat and landed a few feet from Zoro. Six actually had trouble catching his speed Mihawk was moving at and that unnerved the Courier even more.
"If you were really a fine swordsman, you should be able to judge the difference in our strengths without drawing your sword." Mihawk said while crossing is arms. "Challenging me... Are you that brave, or simply reckless?"
Zoro's response was a big grin on his face. "This is my own ambition." Zoro said as he pulled out his swords... and put one in his mouth. "And for a promise of my fallen friend." He said perfectly despite the sword in his mouth.
Six blinked a few times as he saw the sword in his mouth. "That is..." Six trailed off as he shook his head. "That must seriously fuck up his teeth."
"The world greatest swordsman Hawk Eyes Mihawk vs. Pirate Hunter Zoro." Patty said while his eyes were glued to the two along with everyone else. "What kind of fight will it turn out to be?"
Mihawk suddenly reached down to his chest and pulled off the cross around his neck, revealing it was a small blade.
"Hey now, what is the meaning of this?" Zoro asked with a small glare.
Mihawk held the knife at Zoro. "I'm unlike those idiots who use there all hunt rabbits. Though your famous enough to be called a swordmaster, this is the weakest of the four sees, East Blue." Mihawk said getting an angry look from Zoro. "Unfortunately I'm carrying nothing smaller then this." He said with a dull look on his face.
Now Zoro was mad. "Don't underestimate me!" He said before charging at Mihawk. "Just don't regret it when you die!"
"Your someone who has yet to experience the real world." Mihawk said as he held the knife before him.
"Demon Cut!"
Just as Zoro reached Mihawk he strike the swordsman with all blades at once. But to everyone's shock, even Six's, Mihawk stopped the attack like it was nothing. The very tip of the little blade stopped all three swords at once. Zoro was frozen in place for a long moment before jumping back and charging again. The pirate hunter started swinging his swords at Mihawk at impressive speeds, but like the first attack Mihawk deflected them all like nothing.
Suddenly Mihawk swing the blade up, knocking Zoro onto his back. But Zoro didn't give up and continued to fight on swinging his swords as fast as possible, but like before Mihawk blocked all attacks like they were nothing. It still amazed Six such strong and tariffing people live in this world.
When Zoro swung the sword in his mouth and Mihawk blocked it there was a shockwave that blew all the dust back. Zoro didn't stop swinging his blades and Six had to admire his tenacity, but the Courier could clearly see there difference in skill and power. When Zoro raised his arm and brought his sword down Mihawk tripped him forward before chopping him in the back of the neck with his hand, making Six wince.
Somehow Zoro was able to stay on his feet but just barley. He wobbled over to Mihawk and tried to attack, but quickly lost his balance and fell to the floor.
From the corner of his eye Six saw Luffy hold back a couple of Zoro's friend while they stared at the fight. Six understood what Luffy was doing, sometimes you have to let your friends do things on there own and trust them.
Back as the fight Six saw Zoro get up to his feet as he prepared for his final attack.
"Tiger-"
Zoro yelled before rushing at Mihawk with impressive speeds.
"Hunter Prey!"
Just when it looked like the attack was going to connect Mihawk thrust the small blade right into Zoro's chest, stopping the swordsman in place. Six felt the wooden railing break under his hands as he stared at the fight for an intense minute, hoping Zoro would live by the end of this.
Despite the blade in his chest Zoro didn't step back a single inch. The two swordsman seem to have a conversation, but Six couldn't hear since they were talking to low. Then to Six's surprise it was Mihawk who stepped back.
"Kid, announce your name!" Mihawk said while putting his blade away.
Zoro held all of his blades in front of him while he looked at Mihawk. "Roronoa Zoro!" Zoro declared.
"I'll remember that! It's been a while since I've met such a strong will. As a reward," Mihawk said before pulling the giant black blade out from behind himself. "A gesture to a fellow swordsman, I will wield this, 'Black Sword',"
"Kind of on the nose for a sword name don't you think." Six said out loud getting shocked looks from the chefs around him.
"The most powerful sword in the world, to end your life!" Mihawk declared, and Zoro didn't even looked the least bit scared.
"I appreciate your offer."
Neither Zoro or Mihawk moved from there spots as everyone stared with anticipation.
"Three Swords Secret Technique!"
Zoro started to spin the katanas in his hands around before Mihawk leapt forward.
"Three Thousand Realms!"
Suddenly the two were back to back and no one moved a single muscle. A second later the two swords in Zoro's hands shattered into pieces, leaving only the one in his mouth intact as blood erupted from his chest. Roronoa Zoro had lost. Six could only stare as Zoro sheath his blade before turning around to face Mihawk with his arms spired out.
"What now?" Mihawk asked, a little surprised.
Zoro just had a grin on his face. "Attacking from behind is a shameless act among swordsman."
That brought a grin out of Mihawk. "Well said!" He said before slashing Zoro across the chest, blood erupting once more.
"ZORO!" Luffy yelled at the top of his lung along with his other friends.
As soon as Six saw Zoro start to fall backwards he jumped off the railing and started to fall towards the water.
"Geppo!"
Just before Six hit the water he kicked his feet under himself and started to fly towards Zoro as fast as he could. Geppo lacked Soru's speed but it was great for moving in the air. Six ignored the shock looks he was getting as he caught the swordsman before he hit the water. Grabbing Zoro's one sword Six throw the swordsman over his free shoulder before using Geppo to fly over to the ship Usopp was on along with Zoro's friends.
Six saw Luffy stretch his arm at Mihawk while giving a cry of fury while he flew to the ship just before he landed. It shocked Six that Luffy had a devil fruit ability but his main focus now was Zoro.
"Move!" Six ordered the gapping crew members and he laid Zoro down onto the ship floor. Putting a finger to Zoro's neck Six sighed. "Luffy, Zoro's alive, he's just unconscious!" Six shouted over the kid, who looked shocked. At the same time Zoro coughed up a glob of blood. Six grabbed Zoro's shirt and pulled it up, seeing the large gash on his chest. "I need to clean the wound before stitching it up." Six said before a Doctor's Bag appeared in his hands, shocking Zoro's friend.
"It's still too early for you do die. My name is Dracule Mihawk!" The swordsman called as Six poured alcohol on Zoro's chest. "Find your true self, true world, become stronger! No mater how long it takes, I will await you in my strongest form! Surpass this sword! Surpass me Roronoa Zoro!" Mihawk declared as Six started to wipe the blood from the wound.
"Aniki, Aniki, say something!" Zoro's friends called out as Six started to bring out the needle and thread.
"Don't worry, it's just a flesh wound, he'll live." Six said, reassuring Zoro's friends. "But he might have some creaked ribs."
Just before Six could get to closing Zoro's wound the swordsman grabbed his blade from his side and pointed it up, stopping Six.
"Luffy, can you here me?" Zoro rasped out.
"Yeah!"
Zoro panted for air before he spoke. "Sorry for worrying you. If I didn't become the worlds greatest swordsmen in the world, you'd be in a dilemma now, right?" He said before coughing up a glob of blood.
"Aniki, don't say anymore!" One of Zoro's friends said in worry.
"I will... I will never..." Zoro said slowly as tears started to form in his eyes. "LOSE AGAIN!" Zoro declared with all the strength he had. "Until I defeat him and become the worlds greatest swordsman, I'll never be defeated again! Any problem with that, Pirate King?!"
Six gave Zoro a smile before he pushed his arm down. "They heard you Zoro, now let me fix you up." He said before he started to stich up the pirates chest.
After about a minute Six was able to stich Zoro's chest up from it's wounds. He was even able to work after Krieg blasted the water after trying to kill Mihawk, but failed miserably.
"Usopp!" Luffy called back from the restaurant getting Usopp's attention. "Get going! Take care of Nami!"
"Gotcha! Me and Zoro will diffidently get Nami back!" Usopp called grabbing Six's attention before throwing Luffy's hat back.
"Something happen to red?" Six asked with slight concern.
Usopp looked back at Six with a mix expression. "It's... complicated." Was all he said making Six nod.
"I'll ask Luffy when I get back." Six said before a Stimpack appeared in his hands. "Here, this will help with your ribs." Six said to Zoro before injecting the medicine into his chest. "It'll set the bones back in place but they won't be fully healed until tomorrow. So try not to get into any crazy fights." He said getting a nod from the swordsman.
Six got up and started to make his way to the other end of the boat. "Wait, your going back?!" Usopp said in shock.
Six throw the long nose a grin. "Got to stay, I want to cause as much trouble for Don Krieg as I can." Six said before jumping off the boat.
"Geppo!" Six said before he started to fly back to the ship while Don Krieg ordered his men to attack. By the time the Courier landed all of Krieg's men were getting ready.
"Ha, they want to fight too!?" Luffy said in an exited voice as he hung upside down from the railing. "This is so exiting." He said before getting up and turning to Zeff. "Old man, let's make a deal! If I kick the out, I won't have to work here anymore, ok?"
Zeff folded his arms in front of himself. "It's all I could wish for. If I really let you work here for a year, this restaurant would cease to exist." He said making Six snort as he remember all the blunders Luffy did as a waiter. "Becoming the Pirate King, are you serious about that?" Zeff asked.
"Yeah, of course! I WILL become the Pirate King!" Luffy said without any hesitation or fear in his voice that it amazed Six again.
That brought a grin on Zeff's face. "I see a lot of people talk beyond their strength, but I rarely see someone who says it so confidently."
Luffy just grinned back. "I heard you were once a very strong pirate. You also wanted to become the Pirate King, right?"
That just made Zeff give a small snort. "I have forgotten about the past. Right now, I am head chef of this restaurant." He said before turning to Six. "I must thank you boy, for healing my chef's and protecting them."
"Yeah, thanks for saving Zoro coconut man!" Luffy said with a grin.
Six just gave the two a nod. "I did what I can, just glad nobody died." Six said before turning his attention back to Krieg.
The Courier saw Krieg trying to psych his men up to attach the ship, but when one of them questioned his order Krieg shot the man dead without any hesitation. Six narrowed his eyes at the man, he'd seen similar acts in the Legion and Fiends. Despite just killing his own men Krieg was able to psych his men up by playing off Luffy's, Mihawk's, and Six's strength to Devil Fruits.
Sanji walked forward and looked at the pirates before looking back. "This restaurant will become a battlefield," He said before looking to one of the chefs after a minute. "Go to the control room and raise the 'Fin'." He said getting a shocked expression from the chef.
After some bickering Zeff agreed to raise the Fin and the chef quickly ran off. Six turned his attention to the pirates on the destroyed boat with a thoughtful look, trying to decide what weapon to use. When the pirates looked ready to charge Luffy slingshot himself into the pirate while stretching his arms out wide, taking a good number of them down. Once he was done he was hanging on a single piece of the ship.
Six grinned before jumping onto the ledge. "Save some for me Luffy!"
"Geppo!" Six shouted before flying over to a piece of the ship.
"Get him, all we have to do is push him into the water and he'll be done!" One of the pirates yelled as they ready there swords.
Six grinned as he flied above the group of before he started to fall towards them. As he feel Six held his hands up and looked down at the pirates with a wicket look.
"Oh, Baby!"
A giant super sledgehammer appeared in Six's hands as he fell two the pirate group, who looked shocked at the weapon. As soon as Six was about to hit the ship piece he brought Oh Baby down onto the group of pirate creating a shockwave. The piece of ship the pirates were standing on shattered into pieces as all the pirates went flying. Just before Six his the water he used Geppo to land on a piece of ship before turning to Krieg.
The pirate captain was talking to Luffy saying it was foolish to fight on the water since it was both their weakness. Six just snorted at Krieg's stubbornness, almost like a man ranting on with empty words.
Suddenly without warning Six was surprised to see a giant platform rise up from the water right next to the restaurant.
"...Huh, so that's what Sanji meant by Fins." Six said before he used Geppo to fly back to the ship.
Once Six landed he heard Sanji talk to the pirates. "Why don't we fight to our hearts contents, pirates?" Sanji said while taking a drag from his cigarette.
Six understood what the fins were used for. It allowed for even fighting on both sides and made sure the restaurant would not be harmed. And it seemed Six wasn't the only one who realized this. All the cooks on the fin were getting pumped for the fight they were about to be a part of. Six brought out Lucky and checked his bullets before slamming the gun close.
The Courier looked to his pet Stripe who has been on his shoulder this whole time. "Ready to fight buddy?" He asked getting a growl of agreement.
Out of the corner of his eye Six was surprised to see a fish head paddle boat in the water not far from the fin. It was also a surprise when the little ship started firing at the pirates with guns that were in there mouth. Apparently it was Patty and his friend that were moving the ship in the water and firing at the pirates. When the little ship fired at Krieg Six was shocked to see the pirate block the shot with one hand, not only that when the ship tried to ram into it Krieg picked it up with one hand before throwing it over to the fins.
"...I need to start working out more." Six muttered as he looked at his arms. He was sure he could do the same with both is arms if he tried really hard, but he didn't know if he could do that with one arm.
One the boat started to fall to the ship he jumped up into the air while pulling his fist back. At the same time Sanji was right next to him was well.
"Pushy!"
Once the power fist appeared in Six's hand he slammed it into the ship as Sanji hit it with his leg, throwing it towards the side away from the chefs. A second later Patty and his friend jumped out of the broken ship, pissed as hell.
"Sanji! Shitty customer! You bastards?!" Patty yelled.
"You trying to kill your own people!" The other yelled.
Six just stuff a laugh as the two chef's yelled at Sanji who didn't seemed fazed in the least. The Courier was soon brought out of his thoughts when he saw some of the Krieg pirates climb onto the docks from the water. The cooks tried to fight to the best of their abilities but were quickly overwhelmed by the pirates, who definitely had more experience then the cooks when it came to fighting.
"Even though you carry weapon, cooks will always be cooks." One of the pirates mocked as they held up their swords.
Six stepped forward with his hands at his side. "Then what about a Courier?" He asked with a big grin on his face. After some passionate words from the cooks the real fight started with the cooks fighting with all they had.
"Love & Hate!"
Six's spiked brass knuckles appeared on each hand as he socked a pirate right in the face, throwing him into the water. When another pirate tried to stab him from behind Six ducked at the last second before swiping his feet, knocking the pirate back. Just as Six was about to run at another pirate he saw Patty and his friend get sent flying back by something, and a strange man climbed out of the water.
The man was large and had a giant pearl on his head. Not only that he had a giant shield on his chest, arms, elbows, and legs, all with pink pearls on them.
"What are you doing?" The man said in an amused voice as he looked to everyone. "Iron wall! Also known as Krieg Pirate's invincible iron wall Iron Wall Shield Man. It is I, Pearl!" The now named Pearl said with a dramatic flare.
"Patty, Carne, are you ok?" Zeff called to the fallen chefs.
"How could they be ok?" Pearl said with amusement. "They were defeated by my killer punch, 'Pearl's Present'."
When one of the pirates went take Patty's knife Six whipped out That Gun and fired, making the pirate jump back in fear. A second later Sanji kicked the pirate in the face and sent him flying into three other pirates, who also went flying into Pearls chest.
"A knife is a cooks soul. An outsider doesn't deserve to touch a cook's knife." Sanji said as he glared at the pirates.
Said pirates charged at Sanji with there weapons raised. When Sanji acted, for a split second Six thought he used Soru, but quickly realized he was too slow. He was still fast enough to catch the pirates off guard and kick five of them in the face with one move.
Despite the quick defeat of the pirates Pearl just looked amused. "Are you so arrogant that you only kick them?" Pearl asked with a small laugh. "Is this your principle?"
"Who gives a fuck about why he only uses his legs." Six said as he stepped forward, giving Pearl a wicket glare. "Either way he kicked there asses faster then they could react. That takes skill." Six said as he raised his hand at the man. "Like it will take skill just to kick your ass."
"Impossible." Pearl said with a care free smile. "In my last 61 battles, I have won them all completely unharmed. I have never spilled a single drop of blood in battle." He said in a cocky voice.
"Then you never really had a true battle." Six said, making Pearl raise an eyebrow. "True battle is putting your life on the line, doing whatever you can to win not just for yourself, but your friend as well. And you..." Six sent the man a viscous grin on his face, his 'Courier Grin'. "Your nothing more then a limp dick bitch who can't take a hit."
While Six was talking Luffy came flying back to the restaurant after Krieg attacked him, but no one notice. Not until he hit pearl in the back of the head and landed right next to Six, who laughed at the funny landing.
Luffy quickly got up without a problem. "That scared me. I nearly fell into the sea." He said while dusting himself off.
Looking back to Pearl Six saw the man had a nose bleed and seemed to have a stun expression. At the same time the other pirates started to look scared and shout to Pearl that everything was ok, which really confused Six.
Pearl head sweat poring down his face with a look of fear. "This-this-this-this is really dangerous!"
Six rubbed the back of his head with complete confusion as he saw Pearl bash the shields in his hands together. "What's wrong with this crazy fucker?"
"Stop it Pearl!" Krieg called from the broken ship with a annoyed look. "Don't get mad over a nose bleed!"
Pearl just started to slam is shields together faster while shouting 'Bodily harm' over and over again. Then to Six's surprise his shield all caught on fire, which was a whitish-blue.
"Fire Pearl!" Was all Peal shouted before looking back at Six. He then throw something from his fingers that forced Six to dodge. Whatever it was that Pearl throw it exploded with on impact with fire, which caught some of the other pirates. "With these shields on fire, I'm indestructible!"
Six saw the deck catch on fire and acted quickly. He jumped forwards and held his hand out at Pearl.
"Lucky!"
Six's favorite revolver appeared in his hands and he quickly fired of three shots at Pearl, who blocked them with his shied.
"Your guns and weapons won't be able to get through my shield!" Pearl said in an arrogant voice.
Six just sent the large man a grin. "Never underestimate the weapons in my arsenal!" Six said before putting Lucky away and holding out his right hand.
"Sterilizer Glove!"
Six's right hand was soon covered with a red rubber clove. When Pearl saw the glove he started to laugh hysterically.
"How is a glove going to help you?" He asked while laughing.
Six just crouched low with a grin on his face. "This."
"Soru!"
In the blink of an eye Six appeared in front of Pearl making the large man's eyes pop out. The Courier then slammed the glove into Pearl's face, which instantly caught on fire.
"Hot!" Pearl screamed as he fell back and grabbed his face while rolling around.
Six smirked down at the man while holding up his hand. "Your not the only one with weapons that can catch on fire."
Pearl got to his feet while looking both angry and scared at Six. "Damn it, damn it, damn it!" Pearl screamed before folding his arms. "Fire Pearl keeps on burning!" He shouted before throwing a bunch of fire balls into the air, all heading for Zeff.
When Six brought out Lucky and was about to shoot them until he saw the calm look on Zeff's face. The owner picked up his wooden leg before swinging it at the fire balls, putting out fire in one swift move.
Pearl looked at Zeff in complete shock. "My Fire Pearl..." Was all Pearl could get out.
"This is nothing." Zeff said while looking at the pirates.
Six gave the old man a smirk before turning back to Pearl, raising his Sterilizer Glove. But the Courier soon noticed the giant metal ball heading his way and was a little shock. Before he could bring out one of his power-fists Luffy jumped out of the fire and pulled his arms back.
"Gomu Gomu no Bazooka!"
Luffy's hands shot forward and throw the ball back without a problem. Six was a little surprised the kid did that so easily. The Courier watch the metal ball fly back to Krieg and hit the ships mast, which started to fall right at Six and Pearl. Taking a large step to the right Six winced when he saw the mast fall right onto Pearl's head, which turned a shade of blue before he fell back.
"Damn it, I barely got to fight." Six said as he unequipped his glove.
A cry of pain caught Sanji, Luffy's and Six's attention and they turned around to see Gin standing over Zeff with a gun pointed to the chef's head.
"This time you can end it, right?" Gin said in a cold voice while looking at Krieg.
"That right, shoot him!" Krieg ordered from the ruined ship. "You only need to kill him and the restaurants is ours!"
Luffy looked at Gin in complete shock. "Gin?!"
Gin was quiet before looking at Sanji. "You want to save this man, don't you Sanji?" Gin asked while he held the large gun to Zeff's head. "So just heed my word and get off this ship. I don't want to kill you."
Six could tell Gin meant his word about not wanting to kill Sanji. But he still looked ready to blast Zeff's head off. Crouching low Stripe jumped off Six's shoulder and he sent a nod to the Deathclaw who nodded back. before running off without anyone noticing. The Courier brought attention back to the hostage situation and was surprised to hear what Sanji said next.
"Gin, aim that gun at me." Sanji said getting a shocked look from Six.
"Are you a moron, you'll get killed!" Luffy shouted to the cook, who didn't even flinch.
"Maybe." Sanji said simply.
"Maybe my ass, a head shot with that gun will end your life." Six said in a harsh voice, yet Sanji still didn't look fazed. Even Gin looked at Sanji in shock.
"If your so eager to die, let me do the honors." Looking back Six was shocked to see Pearl stand up.
"How the hell are you alive?" Six asked in complete shock. "That mast should of broken your neck."
Pearl sent Six a glare before a wicked grin crossed his face. "I'll deal with you first, before moving onto the cook." Pearl said as he raised his shields. "Don't you dare move, if you don't want that chef's head blasted off."
Six blinked at the man before glancing at Sanji, who looked at Six in shock and worry. "Sanji," Six said grabbing the cooks attention. "...Fuck you." The Courier said with his courier grin.
"Ultimate killing technique, Pearl Present!" Pearl yelled before slamming the shield right into Six's face, making the Courier take a few steps back but managed to stay on his feet.
"Six!" Luffy yelled in worry.
"Hey, don't bring him into this, hit me!" Sanji yelled to Pearl, who just ignored the chef.
Gin looked at Six with a shocked expression. "Why are you taking the hits, you don't know these people?" Gin asked in complete confusion.
Six just whipped the blood from his face. "When I saved you, I knew it may come to bite me in the ass later." Six said with a grin that shocked Gin. "I don't regret doing what I did. So no matter the out come I will own up my decisions." He said while sending a grin to Pearl. "I also feel like if Sanji was here, he would also take the hits."
As soon as Six finished his sentence Pearl slammed both of his shield together, with Six's head in the middle. The Courier was able to hold back the cry of pain but he couldn't stop the blood coming form his ears and mouth.
"Oi Sanji, do something!" Luffy said to Sanji, who was shaking where he stood.
"I... I can't." Sanji said while gritting his teeth. "I already took so much form the old man. His power. And his dream. He gave his leg up so I could live!" Sanji said while his voice shook, shocking the other chefs. "I... I don't want the old man to lose anything anymore! So hit me and leave Six out of this!" Sanji screamed right at Pearl.
Pearl just smirked at Sanji. "Yet another refined speech." He said before placing his shield against Six's stomach. "Hey, I heard a Devil Fruit user can't swim in water, right?" Pearl asked with a grin.
Six's eyes widen as he looked at Pearl. "You wouldn't..." He said as everyone looked at Pearl in shock.
Pearl's grin widen before he sent the Courier flying towards the water. "Goodbye." He said in a happy voice.
"SIX!" Luffy and Sanji yelled as Luffy sent his arms after the Courier.
Just when it looked like Luffy was going to grab him he mist by an inch, and Six fell into the water. There was a stun silence in the are as everyone stared at where Six just fell into the water.
"SIXXXX!" Everyone yelled in horror while the pirates laughed, excerpt for Gin, who shook with a horror look on his face.
Luffy ran forward and shot his hands into the water, trying to find Six, but found nothing. When he started to pull his arms back he jerked for a moment before his arms came out of the water. Looking at his hand Luffy saw Six's sunglasses along with something else. Luffy stood completely still as he stared at his hands, his hat shading his eyes.
Pearl laugh in a superior voice. "How unfortunate for you to have faced us, the Don Krieg Pirates. Now you know what happens to our enemies." Pearl said before turning to Sanji. "Now I will deal with you cook." He said before charging at Sanji.
Sanji just stood still as he stared at the spot Six fell into the water, his body shaking violently. Sanji wasn't the only one as Gin was also shaking violently from where he stood, as he slowly hyperventilated.
As Pearl charged at Sanji all the chef's yelled at him to move, but the blond cook did nothing. When Pearl was about 20 feet away from Sanji something went flying in the air and landed right in front of Pearl's feet. Coming to a stop Pearl looked down to see a strange yellow disc with a flashing light on the top.
"What's this?" Pearl asked as he took a step forward, only now noticing the high pitch beeping. "Is it some weird plate-"
*BOOM*
Pearl was knocked off his feet from the explosion, shocking everyone. The large man was far from dead but he was dizzy from the explosion.
"Who throw that!" Krieg yelled with a throbbing vain.
"Hey, hey, you can't blame me." A familiar voice said making everyone freeze, though Luffy was grinning. "Those things are not meant to be thrown."
All the chef's whipped there heads to the side to see a wet Six with a mask on his face.
"EEEHHH, SIX!" All the chef's yelled in shock as they looked at the Courier.
Six just grinned as he unequipped his Rebreather. Pearl looked at the Courier with complete disbelief.
"How are you alive, you should of drown in the water and sank to the ocean floor!" Pearl yelled at the Courier. "No Devil Fruit user can swim!"
Six put a finger in his ear to clean out the water. "Yeah, about that," Six said while giving Pearl a flat look. "Did I ever say I was a Devil Fruit user."
"WHAT!" Everyone yelled while staring at Six in shock, even Krieg.
"How can that be? No normal human can do what you did!" Pearl yelled again, this time with a bit of fear.
Six just shrug. "The world is filled with a lot of strange things. If you can't handle me and Luffy, then you'll die the first week in the Grand Line."
Pearl shook with fear as he looked at Six before a grin crossed his face. "Don't think you can attack me now, we still have hostages!"
Six looked confuse as he turned to Gin and Zeff. "Really, because it looks like you have none to me." He said gaining a confused look from Pearl. "NOW STRIPE!"
Out of nowhere Stripe appeared and slashed at the gun in Gin's hands with it's claws, shattering it to pieces.
"Maria!"
As soon as the gun appeared in Six's hand he fired at Gin, who was forced to jump way onto the deck.
"Where did that little thing come from?!" Pearl shouted as he eyes bulged at Stripe, who was ginning where he stood next to Zeff.
"Little know fact about Stripe, he's part chameleon, so he can camouflage himself whenever he wants." Six said before glaring at Pearl, who was now shaking in fear. "Now, about those free shots you got in..." Six trailed off as he put his hand out.
"Greased Lightning!"
"W-wait!" Pearl said but is was to late.
"Soru!"
In an instant Six was in front of Pearl, who looked at Six in horror.
"Piercing Strikes!"
In less then a second Six hit Pearl in the chest five time, shattering his shield to pieces. Pearl coughed up a glob of blood before his eyes went white and he fell back unconscious. Six let out a sigh as he heard all the chef's cheer while the Pirates looked stunned and scared.
Six turned to Luffy who was giving the Courier a grin. "Glad you got my note."
"You really scared me for a second Six." Luffy said with a laugh as he throw the Courier his Lucky Shades.
Attached to his glasses was a small note that read 'Still alive, don't act yet.'
Six turned to his pet and gave him a thumbs up. "Nice work Stripe!" Six called getting a happy growl from the Deathclaw.
Patty and Carne went over to Zeff and help him up.
"Gin!" Krieg called out. "Take out the cook and Courier. Your not my Battle commander officer for nothing."
That seemed to grab Sanji's attention. "Battle commander?" He said with some confusion as Six walked next to him.
"I thought that guy's will was stronger then normal people... by the way, Sanji..." Six said grabbing the cooks attention.
"What-"
Sanji was instantly cut off when Six punched him in the face, sending him onto his ass.
"Zeff didn't save your life so you could die for him dumbass. He did it so you can live your own life the way you want." Was all Six said before he walked away, leaving a stunned Sanji. "By the way, Gin's your problem now." He said with smirk before walking up to Stripe.
"Asshole." Was all Sanji said as he got up from the floor while whipping the blood from his mouth.
Gin stared at Six for a lone minute before turning to Sanji. "Sanji, I wanted you and Six to get off this ship so that I wouldn't hurt you. But it doesn't look like that's going to happen." He said before pulling out two black tonfas.
"Yeah. I won't go." Sanji said in a stubborn voice. "This restaurant, I won't give it up even if it cost me my life." He said making Six sigh.
"In one ear and out the other." Sis muttered as Stripe came running and quickly climbed up onto the Courier's shoulder.
"Then at least let me kill you with my own hands." Gin said as he kept his face neutral. "I can't make this right or wrong."
Sanji brought up his lighter to relight his cigarette. "Thanks. Eat Shit."
Gin then turned to Luffy and Six. "The same goes for you, Straw-hat guy, Six."
"Not necessary." Luffy said without any hesitation. "Because I won't lose to a bunch of weaklings like you." Luffy said, instantly pissing off all the pirates.
Six whistled at Luffy. "Damn Luffy, I have to try really hard to piss off this many people at once. You did it with one sentences." Six said, completely impressed.
"We are the Don Krieg Pirates! The Strongest in East Blue!" One of the pirates called.
Luffy just raised an eyebrow. "Don't you mean, the one with the most men?" Luffy said creating a stun silence and pissing off the pirates even more.
Six was grabbing his sides while laughing. "Luffy you are fucking awesome!" He said getting a confused look from Luffy, which made Six laugh a little harder.
All the pirates suddenly charge at both Luffy and Six. But before they could get close Krieg spoke.
"Back off!" Krieg shouted, stopping all the pirates in place. "When I guy gets flustered when being called weak, it's proof that he recognizes he IS weak." Krieg said simply as he sat down. "Let the outcome determine who is the strong and the weak." He said as he sent a strong look to the pirates in the water. "I'm still here. So don't make a fuss." He said getting a bunch of grins from his men before turning his attention over to the restaurant. "Gin. It's your responsibility for killing that cook." He said before turning to Luffy and Six. "That insolent Hammer-boy and Courier, leave them to me."
Six leaned over to Luffy. "So do you want to fight Don Krieg, or do you want to leave it to me?"
"I'll kick his ass." Luffy said simply making Six nod.
"That cool, just try to save his armor and weapons. I want to see if he has anything I want to add to my collection." Six said getting a confused look from Luffy. "What, I like to collet weapons and armor. I don't mind if you break it, but try not to throw it in the ocean." Six said with a shrug.
"Hey kids." Krieg called out grabbing Luffy and Six's attentions. "I'll show you two the power that conquered the East Blue. I don't care if you did eat a Devil Fruit or have strange weapons. You will come to understand such things are meaningless when facing me."
Luffy just turned his head a bit. "You never shut up. I'm going to kick your ass. That's it."
"It's short, sweat, and it doesn't take ten minutes of your time to explain." Six said while flipping Krieg the bird along with Stripe, getting a pissed off look from Krieg.
Back with Sanji and Gin, the two were facing each other off, neither one moved. Everyone shook with anticipation from the chefs to the pirates in the water. Suddenly Gin started to spin one tonfa with one hand until it became a bluer.
"I'm sorry Sanji, you can't defeat me." Gin said.
"We'll see, small fry." Sanji throw back.
"Let's go!" Gin said before charging at while spinning his tonfa.
Sanji raised is leg and tried to kick Gin, but the pirate jumped back as the last second before slamming it down at Sanji. Luckily the cook was able jump away from the attack, causing the tonfa to be imbedded into the wood. Gin used this opportunity to throw the wood into Sanji's face, catching the cook off guard. Sanji twisted around and sent a kick to Gin's head, but the pirate twisted under the attack. While twisting Gin was able to slam his tonfa right into Sanji's chest, pinning the cook down as Gin sat down.
Six rested his hand on Lucky while glaring at Gin. He might hurt Sanji's honor by interfering, but at least he would live.
"Didn't I tell you. You can't defeat me." Gin said with a grin as he looked down at Sanji. "Farwell, disappear from this world." Gin said as he spun his other tonfa in his hand.
Just as Gin was about to bring the tonfa down on Sanji's head the cook spit his cigarette right into Gin's face. The cook then dodged the attack from the tonfa as it imbedded into the ground before Sanji kicked Gin in the back of the head, making the pirates face meet the floor. Despite the attack Gin kept going an smashed one of his tonfa's into Sanji's side, making the cook cry out in pain as he was thrown to the side. It was a stalemate, creating a stun silence.
Both fighters got up, Gin faster then Sanji, with Sanji bleeding from the mouth.
"Battle commander... that all you got?" Sanji said with a grin as he held his sides.
Gin just grinned and licked the blood from his lips.
As Six watched the fight he heard Luffy speak. "Why's he looking over there?" Luffy asked and when Six was about to answer Luffy spoke. "Ok! I'm going to use this opportunity to kick his ass!" Luffy declared before running on the mast that lead to Krieg before Six could even get a word out.
As Luffy ran across the mast Krieg let a grin cross his face before throwing a small black ball into the water. Luffy looked confused until the water exploded, a second later a shot was fired and Luffy ended up back where he started.
"...Maybe I should take care of Krieg?" Six said as he looked down at Luffy, who only stick out his tongue.
"You bastard!" Luffy yelled while slamming his hat onto the floor. "Are you going to fight me or not!"
Krieg just looked at Luffy. "Fight with you? Is that necessary?"
Six tilted his head with a grin. "I mean it kind of is since you said you were going to take care of us." Six said with a shrug getting a glare from Krieg.
Suddenly a creaking sound was heard making Six whip his head back to see Gin standing over Sanji, who looked to be coughing up blood. The pirates cheered Gin on as the pirate spit out a glob of blood while looking down at Sanji.
"This doesn't hurt at all, small fry." Sanji said while looking at Gin with a grin.
Gin's band shadowed his eyes as he started to spin his tonfa in his hand faster and faster. "Prepared to be finished!" Gin declared as Six rested his hand on Lucky, hoping his gut feeling was right. "I've played enough!" He said while swinging his weapon in a wide ark.
This gave Sanji enough time to dodge his attack. "What's this, mercy?" Sanji said in confusion before slamming his foot into the back of Gin's head, making him hit the floor. "Are you joking!"
When Sanji stood looking victories Six heard creaking come from his ribs. Sanji froze and fell to the ground in pain.
"Sanji!" Luffy said in worry as the cook fell.
"I think his ribs are broken, he took one too many hits from those tonfas." Six said in a grave voice.
As Sanji fell to the floor Gin was somehow able to stand to his feet and quickly pinned Sanji to the found by the throat. Six rested his hand on Lucky again and this time he put his finger on the trigger. But what Six saw next made the Courier pull his hand away from the gun and look at Gin in shock.
Tears were in Gin's eyes as he looked down at Sanji. "What the hell?" Gin stuttered out. "I... Don Krieg. I really..." Gin suddenly pulled back and looked up. "I CAN'T KILL THIS MAN! DON KRIEG!" Gin yelled at the top of his lungs stunning all the pirates, even the chefs looked stunned.
"Gin." Luffy muttered.
"I really... I really can't kill him." Gin cried as tears ran down his face.
"What did you say?!" Krieg called, sounding pissed as hell.
"Because I... I... I am..." Gin stuttered out. "For the first time... This is the first time anyone has been kind to me! That's why, I can't kill this man!"
Six gripped his fist softly as he heard Gin beg Krieg to spare Sanji's life. How he was grateful for everything Krieg did, but the captain was stone quiet. There was a stun silence in the air as all the pirates gapped at Gin.
"Don Krieg... I beg of you." Gin said as he looked at his captain with a pleading smile. "Couldn't we just leave this restaurant alone?"
You could hear the snap inside Krieg a mile away.
"You bastard!" Don Krieg yelled in complete anger. "Not only do you disobey by orders, but then you tell me what to do!"
Six almost felt like crying from how egotistical and thickheaded the man was right now. Even Caesar listened to his troops and took some criticism. But Krieg just wanted robots that would die for him and his name.
When the courier turned to Krieg he saw some kind of canon in his hands pointed at the restaurant.
"Don! That's..." Gin shouted sounding scared along with the other pirates.
"MH5!" One of the pirates shouted, and for some reason Six was getting a bad feeling.
"That's poison gas!" One of the pirates helpfully informed.
"Poison Gas!" Luffy said in shock.
"You got to be shitting me!" Six growled as he brought his hands up, ready.
All the pirates started to put on breathing masks they were holding. All the pirates yelled at Krieg but he ignored them all.
"Stop babbling. This is battle, the purpose is to win." Krieg said with a wicked grin on his face. "Winning is the goal! This is strength." He said simply before looking to Gin. "Throw your mask away! You aren't one of mine anymore." He said in a cold voice. "You must die."
Now Six was getting really pissed at Krieg and got his fingers ready.
Luffy ran towards Krieg on the mast again as fast as he could. "I won't let you shoot that poison gas!" Luffy yelled as he ran as fast as he could.
Krieg raised his arms and slammed it into the fallen mast, making it sink into the water. He then started shooting spikes from his weapon while aiming at Luffy, who was somehow able to dodge all of them.
Luffy landed on the fin while painting for air. "Gin!" Luffy called getting the stunned pirates attention. "I never heard such cowardly words." Luffy said before glaring at Krieg. "I'm going to destroy him!"
Gin grit his teeth. "Don't mock Don Krieg!" Gin called before looking at Luffy. "He's the strongest man alive."
Six turned to Gin and sent him a glare. "Would a strong man who had 5000 men under him be down to 100 in just one weak? Would a strong man lose his cool just from being questioned once by his own men?" Six said getting a shock look form Gin and a glare from Krieg. "Would a strong man have to threaten his own men with there lives just to fallow his orders, or order them not to speak there mind?" Six shook his head. "No, Don Krieg is not a strong man. Back home we have a name for men like him. We called them Raiders, who kill, pillage, and kill each other like psychopaths." Six said before pointing a finger at Krieg. "That's all you are Don Krieg, a tyrant, your not even a pirate!"
Krieg had a vain popping out as he grit his teeth. "Burn in hell!"
"Poison Gas: MH5!"
As soon as Six heard the weapons name the Courier held out his hands. While that happen Luffy grabbed two masks form the pirates and throw them to Gin and Sanji
"Medicine Stick!"
As soon as Six equipped the rifle and saw the red cannon ball heading for them he pointed his riffle at it and fired. The explosion was massive, but nowhere close to a mini-nuke. Purple fog fill above the water Krieg was at but Six saw it was quickly closing in.
"Geppo!"
Jumping on the air Six got high enough so the cloud would not effect him. "You alright Stripe?" Six asked getting a nod from the Deathclaw.
After a few minutes the purple cloud slowly disappeared. Six sighed in relief and looked down to see both Luffy and Sanji had masks on, but not Gin, who was holding a mask down on Sanji while looking extremely pale.
"Gin!" Six shouted as he fell to the ship.
As the Courier landed on the ground not far from Gin and ran straight to him. All the while Krieg laughed.
"What an idiot! This happened because he made such a big deal about food." Krieg said in an sick laugh. "Well, I guess an idiot won't learn till he dies."
Six felt a vain pop in his head as he sent Krieg a dark look. "Luffy, you better kick Krieg's ass before I get my hands on him." Six said with a dark look on his face before he turned to Gin, who was spitting up blood while looking pale as a ghost. A Med-x appeared in Six's hands and he injected Gin with it. "This will help with the pain." He said before a bottle of Buffout appeared in his hands. "And this is to increase his immune system and endurance."
"Use the mask, there may be an antidote in there. Plus it will help clear out his lungs." Zeff called from here he was standing in front of his restaurant.
"Right!" Sanji said before handing Six the gas mask.
"The medicine I gave will keep him under for a while, hopefully it will save him." Six said in a grave voice.
Luffy just stood perfectly still, Six felt a slow fury build up in the rubber man. Six made his way to the poison pirate to see a pained look on Sanji's face.
"Gin..." Sanji said before glaring at Krieg. "You chose the wrong man to fallow."
That seemed to make Krieg laugh a little harder. "Are you sympathizing with my little scumbag?"
"Scumbag?!"
"Exactly." Krieg said with a calm smile. "An idiot who refuses my orders without thought of the consequences is no good for anything."
Now Six was beyond pissed. "That's it, your dead." Six said as he started to walk towards Krieg. "Your dead, I'm about to use every weapon in my arsenal to turn you into bitch paste!"
Before Six could walk too far Luffy's hand shot to the side and stopped Six. The Courier glanced to the side to see Luffy's hair shading his eyes, but Six could feel the fury he was building up.
"Don't die Gin." Luffy said getting Sanji and Gin's attention. "Don't die for that guy. You have to survive, ok? I'll destroy this guy!"
Gin gave a weak protest and even Sanji looked with concern.
"If you take him head on you won't survive!" The cook said in worry as he grabbed Luffy's arm.
Luffy just looked at Krieg with a small glare. "I won't die to this scum."
With those words Luffy shot off right at Krieg at full speed.
"Try to get me some of his armor and weapons, I still want to add something to my collection!" Six called out as he saw Luffy run. "...And god speed kid."
As Luffy ran at Krieg the pirate throw several bombs into the water before holding up his spikes Gatling-gun before firing when the bombs explodes. Six saw Luffy get hit with some of the spikes, but do the Courier's surprise the Straw-hat kid didn't even stop for a moment. By the time the water fell Luffy made it to Krieg and throw his rubber arm back, ignoring the spikes in his body.
"Gomu Gomu no-"
While Luffy was throwing his arm back Krieg pulled out a spiked cape and wrapped it around himself, making Six click his tongue. But what happen next surprised the Courier.
"Pistol!"
Without any hesitation Luffy punched the spiked cape right in the side of Krieg's face. Six felt his jaw drop along with Stripe, he didn't know if that was brave or a little reckless, but it was badass none the less. The punch was strong enough to send Krieg flying, creating a stun silence in the air. Slowly Luffy pulled out the spikes that were stuck in his body one by one with his bleeding hand, making Six grimes a bit.
"Don't decide my grave," Luffy said as he pulled out the last spike and gave a strong grin to the down Krieg. "I'm not meant to die here." Luffy said as a fact.
Six looked at Luffy with amazement before a grin crossed his face. "You're pretty cool Luffy."
Back at the fight Krieg slowly started to get up. "You say your not meant to die here? If this isn't your grave, then whose can it be?" Krieg said while getting to his knees. "Then whose can it be?!" He said before whipping a around.
Krieg slammed his shield against and fired, but Luffy jumped up at the last minute and kicked Krieg in the shoulder while he was still in the air and brought the pirate down. All the pirates screamed in shock like it was the end of the world, but in truth all they were seeing as was an ass kicking. Don Krieg suddenly let out a yell when he heard his men questioned if he would win or no before putting the golden shields together and created a long spear. When Krieg tried to hit Luffy with the spear the rubber kid dodged and the spear smashed into the floor, creating a large explosion.
Six blinked at the weapon as it reminded him a lot of his Two Step's Goodbye.
"It's finally out, Don Krieg's untimed weapon, The Great Battle Spear!"
Six slammed his forehead at the name. "Come one Krieg, you did not come up with a lame ass name for a weapon like that!" Six shouted getting shocked looks from the pirates.
Krieg ignored the Courier and raised the spear at Luffy, using it more like a hammer. The explosion forced Luffy to jump to another piece of ship in the water. When Luffy tried to stand Six saw the young pirate have trouble doing so.
"He's lost to much blood, he can't fight forever." Six said in a grave voice as he eyes were glued to the fight. Krieg jumped over to Luffy and thrust his spear at the kid, but Luffy bent back and dodged attack.
Krieg started to swing the weapon around as fast as he could at Luffy, a frustrated look on his face every time he swung his weapon and missed. Suddenly Luffy lost his footing and tripped back, allowing Krieg to swing his spear right at the rubber man. But at the last second Luffy jumped in the air, dodging the attack. While Luffy was in the air Krieg swung his weapon at Luffy... and what happened next made Six laugh his ass off.
In order to dodge the attach while still in the air Luffy grabbed the spear and was hanging onto it. Now Krieg looked beyond pissed that it looked he was about he pop a vain all over his head. Krieg slammed the spear into the floor, forcing Luffy to let go and fly into the air. While Luffy was in the air Krieg thrust the spear at the kid and Luffy caught it between his fists, casing the spear to explode right on Luffy.
Six wondered if being a rubber man would let Luffy take most of the explosion force. The Courier got his answer when he got saw Luffy fall back, looking black and smoky.
Luffy fell back onto the broken ship and Krieg had a smirk on his face, until Luffy pushed himself back up. Krieg swung the weapon at Luffy and Six was surprised to the kid jump right at the weapon without hesitation, getting blasted back. Krieg let out a laugh before he started to walk away, at the same time Luffy got to his feet, making the pirate look back in shock.
Now Six was amazed at what he saw of Luffy. The kid had more guts then even the toughest Rangers back home, he just kept coming back for more without hesitation. Six thought back to Luffy's offer to join his crew, and seeing the kid in action, it was starting to look more appealing.
"You got the heart, compassion, and guts kid." Six muttered as he saw Luffy and Krieg face off against each other. "Let's see if you got the will to live."
Krieg raised his spear and Luffy pulled his fist back. The two forces met and there was an explosion, creating a large black cloud.
Once the smoke cleared Six saw Luffy stand from the explosion, throwing the wood off himself. Krieg pulled his spear back and just like before there was another explosion and Luffy was sent flying. And again Luffy got up and looked at Krieg with a grin on his face, pissing Krieg off. Krieg charged at Luffy and hit him with the spear, but this time Luffy wasn't sent flying. When the smoke cleared Six saw Luffy with his leg up before slamming it down. At the same time the tip of the spear broke off, shocking Krieg.
"The great battle spear! What did you do?" Krieg demanded as he looked at his weapon in shock.
Luffy just sent the man a grin. "I just punched it five times in a row." He said simply.
Back at the restaurant Six was grabbing his sides while he laughed his ass off, but at the same time he was completely amazed. All the chefs and pirates looked at Luffy with shock and amazement.
Despite the broken blade Krieg didn't seem that all fazed by the broken blade. It could still create explosions on impact, making still a very deadly weapon. Krieg throw the broken weapon over his shoulder and charged at Luffy, who jumped into the air to avoid the explosion. While Luffy was hanging on a mast Krieg used his weapon to blast it down.
While in mid air Luffy broke a piece of the mast off and throw it at Krieg like a spear, but the older pirate stuck his right hand out and blasted the wood with a flame thrower.
Six was a little impressed with Krieg. "He nearly has as many weapons as me." Six said with a smirk. "But he thinks just because he has them that he'll win, dumb ass."
While Luffy was still in the air he started to throw his punches at Krieg that reached him.
"Gomu Gomu no Gatling Gun!"
Luffy's fist were moving so fast it looked like he had two dozen arms. Despite the attack Krieg took all the hits and looked barley fazed.
"Hit him in the face Luffy!" Six screamed from where he stood.
Spite the words Luffy continued to his Krieg's armor before landing on the ground. Suddenly Luffy ran at Krieg while stretching his right arm back.
"Gomu Gomu no Pistol!"
Luffy slammed his fist right into Krieg's a armor stomach and that seemed to make the older pirate double over in pain. The two stood frozen in place for a long moment before Krieg used his broken weapon and throw Luffy away. Krieg smirked before running up to the top of a broken mast while Luffy recovered. Once he did Luff wasted no time running after Krieg on top of the broken mast.
While Luffy ran up the mast he throw both his arms back together.
"Gomu Gomu no-"
Krieg brought his weapon down at Luffy creating a giant smoke cloud. But not even a second later Luffy ran out of the cloud, both arms still stretched behind him.
"Bazooka!"
Luffy slammed both of his palms into Krieg's stomach. As Krieg flew back his armor started to form crakes all over where Luffy hit. Six suddenly notice a bunch of little balls fall into the water, making his eyes widen.
"It's a trap! Run!" Both Sanji and Six yelled at the same time.
There were multiple explosions that created a giant cloud in the water, the force knocking around both the pirates and the chefs around.
Six grit his teeth and clenched his hand as he stared at the dust cloud. "Come on Straw-Hat, pull a fucking miracle off."
Then out of nowhere Luffy's arms shot out of the fog along with Luffy.
"Gomu Gomu no-"
"WHAT?!" Krieg shouted in shock as his eyes popped out as Luffy grinned at him.
"Fuck yeah Luffy!" Six shouted.
"Bazooka!"
Luffy slammed both his palms right into Krieg's chest, shattering his armor as soon as it impacted.
As Krieg fell he suddenly glared at Luffy. "You wish, damn brat!" He shouted, shocking everyone.
"Your still alive!" Luffy shouted in shock.
A moment later Krieg shot a metal net, catching Luffy. The two started to fall towards the, and if Luffy fell in he would be dead. But after a moment of struggling Luffy's hands and legs stood out of the net. He then started to twist his legs together like a spring until he grabbed Krieg's face with his feet, his legs still twisting together.
"Gomu Gomu no-"
Luffy started to un-twist his legs, spinning Krieg around until he was moving in a blur.
"Sledgehammer!"
Luffy slammed Krieg right into the restaurant dock, head first. Krieg's eyes went white before he went limp on the deck.
Six grinned as he jumped off the deck he was on.
"Geppo!"
Six slammed his feet into the air and flew to Luffy before and grabbed the metal net before he hit the water.
"Ah, thanks Six, you saved." Luffy said with a grin as Six held him above the water in the metal.
The Courier sent Luffy a big grin before he started to fly back to the restaurant. "Your the one who saved everyone else Luffy." Six said before looking down at the young pirate. "You did good kid." He said getting a grin out of Luffy.
Once Six landed on the dock with Luffy the Courier quickly got the Devil fruit user out of the net. Sanji looked at the two with slight shock and amazement as Luffy fell to his back from exhaustion.
Sanji looked at the two for a long moment before letting out a snort. "You two are crazy."
Six rolled his eyes before looking at Luffy. "Once your back on your feet I'll look you over and see if I can patch you up." Six said as he sat down next to Luffy.
"Cool, you can be the ships doctor!" Luffy said with a big grin.
Six just snorted. "No can do, I only no first-aid, I know shit about diseases or surgery."
"I am the strongest!"
Suddenly without warning Krieg flew up to his feet while his crew surrounded him.
"It's me, it's me who won!" He said with white eyes with an almost crazed look on his face. "No one can surpass me!"
"...Is that guy seriously ranting on while in his sleep?" Six asked with slight disbelief.
"I believe so." Sanji said, also looking at Krieg with some disbelief.
"That guy never gives up." Luffy said with an annoyed look on his face.
Krieg's man tried to hold him back. but the pirate captain easily throw them back even while unconscious.
"Abilene Kid!"
The sound of a dart being fired was heard before Krieg's head kicked back and he fell down.
"DON KRIEG!" The pirates cried in fear.
"Shut up!" Six shouted making all the pirates go stiff. "Your captain is just knocked out! So here's what's going to happen, your going to take that little boat on the side and your going to get the fuck out of here before I reach to ten."
"But-" One pirate started to say but was cut off.
"One!"
"AHHH!" All the pirates yelled in fear before grabbing Don Krieg and ran to the little boat on the side.
"Hey, why are you letting them go?!" Patty yelled from the restaurant.
"And what would you have done, kept them locked up until Krieg wakes up. At least there out of your hair." Six said with a sigh before looking to Patty. "How's Gin?"
"He's still knocked out, but he's gained some color."
Six sighed before he leaned back on his hands. "Today has been a long day, right Luffy... Luffy... Luffy?" Looking to the side Six was surprised to see Luffy sleeping on the floor without any problem. The Courier blinked for a moment before snorting. "Rest up kid, you earned it." Six said before falling back on his own.
