The fog became thicker and thicker, Shishi could barely see in front of him. It wasn't long before another ship appeared next to their own. Hooks were thrown pulling the Straw Hat ship closer to the other one, "WE'RE BEING BOARDED BRACE YOURSELVES!!!" Nami shouted. Soon large clomping noises were heard, several enemies landed on the deck. Shishi then started to shiver, the temperature around them had dropped. Nami looked around, suddenly a large thud was heard behind her. She stiffened up as she felt an immense cold on her back, she then slowly turned around. There stood a large man, about 8 feet or so. His irises were green and the whites of his eyes were red. His skin was gray, and all the hair on his body had frost all over it and he had large icicles coming out of is chin making a beard. He swung his hand around sending Nami crashing to the floor. Shishi heard her cry and he turned in her direction.

"MOM!!!" He then saw the large man, he grit his teeth, he then took off towards the man with a raised fist. The man simply caught Shishi's fist and Shishi screamed in pain.

"Sssssh..." the man said putting a finger to his lips, he then let go of Shishi's fist. Shishi glared up at the man. "I just came to return something is all..." he then reached in his back pocket and pulled out some red cloth, he smirked and threw it at Shishi. Shishi caught it and he instantly recognized it.

"Th-This is dads..."

The ice pirate smiled, "So it's true, he did provide a son." He then reached down and picked up Shishi by the throat, "Tell me child, what happens when you super cool rubber?" He then smiled evilly. Shishi tried to break free but was ultimately powerless. Suddenly the ice pirate was then thrown across the deck and he fell against the edge of the ship. Shishi fell to the ground and was quickly caught, Shishi looked up at his rescuer.

"Sanji..."

"You okay?" Sanji asked the boy, Shishi nodded and rubbed his throat.

"That hurt...and a whole heck of a lot more than it should have..." he then got onto his feet, he then face the ice pirate.

"You shouldn't fight." Sanji said, "If he touches you then you won't be able to use your powers." Shishi then looked to Sanji, "You can take the little ones, start picking them off." Shishi nodded, he then looked down at his father's old shirt, he remembered how his father never buttoned it up. Shishi then put the shirt on over his vest, it was a bit too big for him but he'd grow into it. "You look just like him." Shishi nodded, he then turned around to where the other men were. One charged Shishi until a gunshot went off and he fell onto the floor hard, Shishi looked over and saw Pinku with a revolver that had just been fired off.

"What? Just because I look like a damsel doesn't mean I have to act like one." She said with a smile, Shishi smiled back her.

"Let's do this, Sanji, Pinku!"

"Count me in too." Milion said walking over to Shishi, "This could be fun."

"Yosh!" Shishi smiled, "Let's go!" Shishi and Milion then charged some of the men, Sanji took off at a high speed and delivered a powerful kick to the ice pirates face sending the two of them onto the other ship. The other ship was made of wood that has frostbite all over it. The ice pirate swung punches, which Sanji quickly avoided, Sanji jumped and delivered so kicks to the pirates face before he landed and swept the pirates legs from beneath him. Sanji brough his leg up and performed a devastating heel drop on the pirates chest. The pirate gasped before he quickly stood up and started to attack Sanji, Sanji quickly avoided all of the pirates attacks. The pirate charged him, Sanji rolled onto his back and kicked upwards sending the pirate flying into the air. Sanji then looked over to Shishi. Shishi sent a powerful punch to one of the ice men's face sending him flying clear off the boat. "Gumo Gumo..." He then went to attack the next to, he quickly faked them out, "Pinku!" Pinku jumped over Shishi's head and fired off two revolvers hittting the men in the chest and the two men fell over. "Yosh! That was awesome!"

"Really?" Pinku asked as she turned to Shishi with dazzles in her eyes.

"Yep! Keep it up!" Shishi looked past her, he quickly pushed Pinku aside and then stretched out his arm, he grabbed onto one of the men standing near Carameil about ready to slice her in half, Shishi then jumped and sent himself flying through the air at a high speed. He then lowered his head and crashed into the iceman sending him crashing onto the floor. Carameil then sighed in relief.

"Oh thank god..."

"Ow..." Shishi rubbed the top of his head, "That hurt..."

"You okay?"

"I'll be fine. Your powers kick in yet?"

"Yeah, but it's really stupid."

"What is it?"

"It's just stupid! Leave me alone about it!"

"Yeesh...no need to be harsh."

"So I've been thinking..."

"Uh Huh." An iceman charges Shishi from behind, Shishi quickly raised his elbow hitting the man in the chest, the man grunted and fell over.

"Um...we don't have to if you don't want to but...I'm getting nowhere with Milion so..."

"What is it?" Shishi asked doing the same action again to the same iceman who had stood back up and charged him again.

"...do you want to go out with me?"

"Um...like out where?"

"Anywhere, we could go get food or something."

"Food sounds nice. Especially after a good fight." He then turned around and picked up the iceman, he then just simply tossed him overboard.

"Sweet. It's a date then."

"I don't like dates, they make you poop."

"What? No! Not the fruit! A date is like an activity that people do."

"Then why didn't you just say activity?"

"Honestly I'm starting to wonder that too..." she said as she scratched the back of her head. She really thought Shishi was a complete and total dumb ass. But in the cute way, not the super annoying type of way. She then looked at him, "Nice shirt."

"Thanks, it was my dad's."

"It looks..." she paused, "Decent. You could button it up though."

"Why?"

"Well its kind of cold out."

"I'm fine."

"Yes but look," she took his hands, "Your knuckles are bleeding."

"So? They do that."

"No, not when you're made of rubber." She sighed, "Look, these guys are like your weakness. Fighting them means it'll hurt you."

"I feel fine Carameil."

"I know but..." she paused, "Here! Let me fight them! I'll show you my new powers!"

"Really? That sounds cool. Do it!" Carameil nodded, she stood up and faced a few of the enemies. Carameil took a deep breath in, when she blew out a giant bolt of lightning shot from her mouth striking the enemies. "Woooah, sugei."

"I can only make it come out of my mouth though, and not anywhere else."

"That's still cool!" Shishi then paused, "What does it taste like?"

"What does what taste like?"

"The lightning."

"It's spicy."

"Hmm, Interesting." Shishi then looked back to Sanji. Sanji jumped and sent a kick to the ice pirates jaw before he sharply spun and performed a roundhouse kick to the pirates chest. The pirate fell onto his back. Sanji then looked down at the villain and glared.

"So why are you here?"

"Me?" The pirate then stood up and dusted himself off, "I'm just buying time." Suddenly a large sound echoed through the air, "And it looked like I bought just enough." Sanji then turned back to everyone else, Sanji winced as he was suddenly hit on the back of the head and knocked out.

Shishi looked around, the stench of metal and death filled the air, another ship came up on the other side of them and hooked itself to the Straw Hat ship. Crew members started make their way onboard, they mostly looked like the undead. Pinku and Carameil quickly ran behind Shishi, Milion walked over to them as a ship rammed them from the front. Soon large and heavy footsteps were heard. Shishi's eyes widened as a man walked onboard from the front of the ship. He had a metal mask as well as metal armor covering his body, the only thing that could be seen was his green hair. He looked back and forth at what was left or the Straw Hat crew. He looked beneath his food and saw Nami laying on the ground, she had been beaten pretty badly by some of the ice pirates men. The man in the metal mask bent down and picked up Nami by the hair and held her in the air. "Let her go!!!" Shishi yelled to him, the man then turned to Shishi, the man chuckled. He then threw Nami to the ground, Shishi grit his teeth and clenched his fists. The man in the metal mask started to walk towards Shishi and his friend, as he did such blades came out of both of his forearms and two large swords formed in his hands.

Shishi clenched his fists tighter and looked up at the man as he approached. "Do you know who I am?" The man asked, his voice was disguised and was very intimidating.

"No," Shishi said, "The only thing I know about you is that you hurt someone I love."

"That woman? What is she to you?"

"She's my mother!"

"Good." He said, "Now she can watch you die." Shishi smirked,

"Good luck with that!" The man then quickly swung his sword, Shishi quickly moved backwards. "Wow, was that seriously the best you could do?" The man growls and starts to swing and attack with his swords more. Shishi effortlessly moves out of the way and even backhands the sword a few times.

"Wait a minute..." Carameil said to herself, she looked at Shishi, "That Haki...is he seeing into the future? But how?! That Haki takes years to even try and mastering it is harder!" She thought to herself.

The man swung his sword downwards and Shishi quickly grabbed it, the man swung the other one and Shishi grabbed the other one with his free hand. Shishi grit his teeth as he felt the blades slowly cut into his palms. He quickly used his Haki to harden his hands. He then clenched his fists and broke the blades of the swords. The man in the metal mask growled, Shishi glared at him rather intensely, "You hurt my mother. Which means now you're dead to me." He then threw a punch towards the man only to have his fist caught and stopped dead. Shishi's eyes widened in disbelief.

"You're getting slower, which means the cold is getting to you. The longer the Ice Captain is here the more the temperature will drop, and the more you'll become useless." He then sent a blow to Shishi's stomach with his knee, Shishi gasped and bent over his knee, the man then jammed his elbow into Shishi's back causing him to fall to the floor. Shishi slowly clenched his fists, he slowly got onto his hands and knees, he started to breathe heavily, he had never fully felt this much pain before. The man in the metal mask picked up Shishi by the back of the head and held him in the air, he then punched Shishi in the gut again, and again, and again, and again until Shishi coughed up blood. He then threw Shishi to the ground, "Now die." He went to stomp on Shishi, suddenly Shishi caught his foot, "What the...?" Suddenly Shishi's skin turned red and started to glow, steam irradiated from his body. Shishi grit his teeth, he didn't know what was happening to his body. He then shoved his hand upwards causing the man in the metal mask to fall onto his back. Shishi then stood up, he clenched his fists and suddenly the steam on his body started to heat the air. Shishi then looked up at the man with the metal mask. He chuckled and stood up, "Gear Second. Bravo."

Shishi glared intesenly at the man, "Tell me your name."

"Don."

"Don?"

"Don Diego. The pirate slayer."

"Good, now I know what to call you when I destroy you." He then started to walk towards Don, "Hardening Armament." His hands then turned black, he then charged him and sent a punch to Don's gut, Don gasped and stumbled backwards. Shishi began to pummel him several times across the face and even in the gut. "Gumo Gumo..." He then raises his fists, "Bullet Canon!!!" He then sent a flurry of super fast punches to Don's chest, "Gumo Gumo..." he then finished punching Don's chest and reeled his fist back, "Sky Riser!!!!" He sent an uppercut to Don's jaw stretching his arm as he went sending Don several feet in the air. Don then came crashing down hard onto the deck, Shishi then walked over to him. Don threw a punch and Shishi effortlessly caught it, Don then threw another punch and Shishi caught his other fist, "You come here, you beat my mother, and you embarrass me in front of my friends and everyone I care about. Give me one reason why I should spare you."

"Because you don't have it in you, to kill. You want to kill me don't you? But you can't!" He then stood up and looked Shishi in the eyes, "You're too pure. I find it delicious." Soon Shishi's skin returned to normal, "You're now out of Haki." Don looked to the other evil captains he had gathered with him, "Leave this place, I want to see how strong he can get." He then punches Shishi in the gut, Shishi gasped and hunched over, "Never forget this pain." Don whispered into Shishi's ear. Shishi then fell onto the ground, he looked up at Don and watched him walk away, he then fell dead asleep.

Shishi slowly woke up with a burning pain all over his body. He looked up at everyone around him, "Carameil...Pinku...Mom...Milion...Sanji..."

"Hey kid, that was pretty impressive what you did." Sanji said,

"No...I didn't even beat him..." Shishi looked down at himself, his entire upper body was wrapped in bandages, he then looked at his mother, her arm was in a cast, "Mom...are you?"

"I'm fine, we've all been super worried about you though." Nami said with a smile, "I'm glad to see you're okay. You took quite a beating."

"Never before have I felt so weak..." Shishi said as he laid his head back, he shook his head, "I'm sorry I put you all in danger..."

"Shishi, none of this was your fault." Pinku said grabbing his hand, "Even if you weren't onboard they still would have come and attacked us."

"At least you know what you need to do now." Carameil said, Shishi looked over to Carameil confused, "You need to work your ass off! You need to get stronger! And then one day you're going to bring that masked freak down!" Shishi pondered that for a minute, he smiled and nodded.

"Yosh!" He smiled, "Sounds like a plan. If I'm going to be King I can't have Evil in my ocean." He then sighed, he paused for a few seconds and looked around at everyone. "Can I ask something?"

"Sure." Nami said,

"How long have I been out...?"

"It's Wednesday."

"...I've been out since Friday...?"

"Yeah. You were totally drained. Getting you down here was a mess, you were like wet Spaghetti, you kept flopping everywhere." Carameil said, "Laying you down was easy, but it took a few days for your body to kind of reset to its original shape."

"I see...thank you..."

"By the way, I got you these." Nami said, she then handed him some posters, he held them in his hands, they were bounty posters for the three evil pirates that attacked them. The Pirate of the Undead, Demise. The pirate of Ice and Cold, Nitro, and finally the Blade Captain, Don Diego. Shishi smirked.

"Alrighty then...let's get us some bounty." Shishi said with a smile.
