"And despite the gold weighing him down he and his crew managed to defeat the lightning god and save the Island" A young woman with light tan skin, pitch black long flowing hair which stops at her lower back and bright green eyes spoke with a smile on her face as she closed the book and stared down at the five year old boy sitting on her lap with a large grin on his face.
He has dark brown skin, shaved black hair and dark green eyes.
"That person is so cool!" The five year old said with stars in his eyes as he stared at the book "Mom whatever happened to that person?"
"From what I heard he became the second pirate king" The black haired woman said as her son smiled before gaining a thoughtful look.
"What's a pirate king, Is what dad is?" The five year old asked making his mother smile.
"No your daddy is a marine and a high ranked one at that" The black haired woman said as she rubbed her son's head "And a pirate king is a title given to a pirate who has found the legendary treasure one piece" The black haired woman said as she saw her son gain a excited look on his face has he began to jump up and down.
"Then can I find the one piece and become the next pirate king when I get older?, huh can I please!" The five year old begged as he stared up at his mother with puppy dog eyes which made her sweep him into a hug.
"And what reason do you have to become the next pirate king?" She asked making her son grin up at her.
"Because I want to go on adventures just like the ones you've told me, I'll even become super strong so I won't lose to anyone" The young boy said as he flexed his non existent muscles making his mother laugh softly.
"Then of course you can, though I want you to promise me that once you've become the pirate king you'll tell me everything" The black haired woman said as her son rapidly nodded his head.
"I promise mom that I'll tell you the greatest adventure ever!" The five year old declared with a shout before his mother gently kissed his forehead and tucked him into bed.
"Good, now try to get some sleep" The black haired woman said as her son quickly went to sleep making her smile as she turned off the light and left the room.
"Janet do you keep telling him those stories?" A gruff voice asked making her turn around and stare down at a old man who is slightly hunched over and using light brown cane to walk.
He has grey dreads tied into a ponytail, dark brown skin with scars on his arms and parts of his face, dark purple eyes and wearing a grey karate gi.
"I tell him because it makes him happy or don't you want your grandson to be happy?" Janet questioned as the old man let out a tired sigh.
"You know I'll do anything to see that boy smile but even I know that the world government is serious about putting an end to piracy ever since the war started" The old man said as Janet simple smiled.
"Well then if your so worried how about you start training him to defend himself against the marines" Janet said suggestively before grinning "Or has your age finally caught up with you?"
"What was that?" The old man asked as fire glowed in his eyes while veins started to appear on his arms as he tightly clutched his wooden cane "I have you know young lady that my megaton punch is still deadly as it was forty years ago, So when I'm done teaching Cyrus he'll have sea kings shaking with fear"
"Glad to hear it grandpa, Cyrus will be so happy" Janet said with smile as she bent down and kissed him on his cheek before walking into her bedroom
"That woman sweet like saint yet deadly like the devil" The old man muttered with a faint smile as he walked down the stairs "Gets it from her side of the family"
8 Years Later
"Alright Cyrus show me your boxing stance" Cyrus's grandfather said as he watched his grandson with careful eyes as he moved his left leg back and placed his right leg slightly in front before bending his knees and raising his fists up to his chin.
"Now strike the dummy The old man instructed as he threw his wooden cane into the air before it transformed into a tall wooden man.
Cyrus nodded his head and rushed towards the wooden man before throwing a straight left punch towards the torso which didn't move at all while Cyrus himself clutched his hand and struggled not to cry out in pain.
"Come here" The old man said as he sat down and took his grandson's hand and saw that it was starting to bruise "Do you know why this happened?"
Cyrus simply shook his head while rubbing away tears making his grandfather sigh and pick up a small bag of ice.
"That happened because you was too relaxed" The old man said as he pressed the cold bag against his hand "When you use this stance who have to be firm and tough like a grand oak tree, do you understand?"
Cyrus nodded his head as his grandfather removed the bag before rubbing the bruise with his thumb.
"Good, now get into your boxing stance again" The old man said as he walked back over to the side to watch.
Cyrus slowly exhaled before getting into his boxing stance again which made a smile appear on his grandfather's face as his stance was now firm and still.
"Ten punches to the torso!" The old man shouted as Cyrus quickly threw the first punch that slammed into the wooden gut making it take a step back before he followed up with nine more solid punch each as strong as the last.
"Good show me your foot work and don't stop attacking the body!" The old man ordered as the moment Cyrus pulled his tenth punch back as he instantly whizzed around the dummy while continuing his assault.
He's a faster leaner and highly skilled at a young age The old man thought as he stared at Cyrus's after images He reminds me of them two
"Now dodge!" The old man yelled as the dummy suddenly spun around to face him despite his speed and shot its left fist out which made Cyrus's eyes widen as he narrowly turned his head to the right and watch the arm reach its limit before quickly snapping back just as its other fist raced towards his face making him quickly adjust his feet and bend back until the back of his head was inches above the ground.
"Faster!" The old man shouted as the wooden man's fists started to move much faster than before while to anyone else his arms would be nothing but a blur. The same could be said about Cyrus who is narrowly weaving around the wooden punches.
Cyrus eyes widened in silent shock as a wooden fist just stopped inches from his face while his body still moved out of the way before another fist suddenly slammed into his cheek that sent him crashing to the ground.
"What did I tell you about feints?" The old man said as he crossed his arms and stood over his grandson.
"It's not enough being able to keep up with fast opponents as they might be able to go even faster which means I should keep an open mind for any sneak attacks so I can react accordingly" Cyrus muttered as he took his granddad's hand and stood up.
"Or don't use your full speed so you can surprise the enemy, now let start again" Cyrus's grandfather said as Cyrus got into his boxing stance.
"I can't believe he's make getting food as a training exercise" Cyrus muttered as he jogged home while adjusting the extremely heavy arm and shin guards.
A sudden cry made Cyrus stop and turn his head towards the alleyway where laughter was coming from.
He walked over and placed the bags of food at the entrance before entering the alleyway and seeing a group of boy surrounding a thirteen year old girl with light tanned skin, dark brown hair, grayish blue eyes and wearing a dark blue dress with matching shoes.
"Hey what are you guys doing to her?" Cyrus asked as everyone turned to face him.
"Nothing we're just having fun with the rich girl" An overweight boy said with a sneer as he walked over to Cyrus and towered over him.
"It doesn't look like she's having fun" Cyrus said as he glanced at the girl and saw a bruise on her face "Did one of you hit her?"
"She hit us first" Another boy said as he clutched his red cheek.
"Yeah now beat it before you also get hurt" The overweight boy said as he pushed Cyrus back.
"I ain't going anywhere until you guys leave her alone" Cyrus said as he stomped over to the big boy and tilted his head back so he could look him in the eyes.
"Fine you asked for it" The overweight boy growled as he threw a downwards punch towards Cyrus's head which he easily evaded before throwing a punch of his own directly into the overweight boy's stomach making him stumble back.
The overweight boy let out a growl and rushed Cyrus before throwing a punch that he easily side stepped and followed up with quick straight punch to the side of his gut making him fall to the ground and let out a ragged cough.
Cyrus watched the overweight boy get up and throw a wide right punch that he ducked underneath and followed up with a jumping left uppercut making the overweight boy fall over and his friends back away slightly.
"Are you alright?" Cyrus asked as he landed and turned to the girl with a concerned look on his face.
The overweight boy wiped the spit and blood away from his mouth before he glared at Cyrus before picking up a wooden board and swinging it at his head.
"Watch out!" The girl shouted as Cyrus turned around only to get smacked straight on top of his head which sent him crashing to the ground.
"That will teach you to get involved" The overweight boy said with a grin as Cyrus slowly got back onto his feet and raised his head which is now smeared with blood and and has a cold expression on which overall made the overweight boy's eyes widen in terror.
"Wha-!" Was the only thing to escape the larger boy's mouth before Cyrus rammed his right fist deep into his stomach making him bellow over and throw up his lunch.
He weakly stared at Cyrus who quickly slammed his left fist straight into the boy's face which crushed his nose making blood explode. His friends watched in silence as blood poured from the overweight boy's nose before he fell face first to the ground.
"He ain't dead, so take him and go before I hurt the rest of you" Cyrus said with a dead serious tone as he glanced at the other boys who let out fearful screams while dragging their friend away.
"Don't you think you hit him a little too hard at the end" The brown haired girl said as she walked over to Cyrus who is letting out slow breaths.
"I guess though he did kind of deserve it" Cyrus said as he wiped the blood away with the front of his black shirt "Why were they harassing you?"
"They tried to bully me into giving them free stuff since my parents own a caravan that sells stuff from the grand line, But thanks to you they won't try that again" The brown haired girl said with a smile as she took out a piece of cloth and held it against the wound Cyrus has on his forehead.
"I'm Leizle by the way Leizle J Olan" The brown haired girl said as the two of them left the alleyway and sat at the entrance before they watched the busy market area.
"Nice to meet you I'm Cyrus, Cyrus D Blackwood" Cyrus said with a smile.
"Cyrus do you mind telling me where you learned to fight like that?" Leizle asked making Cyrus grin.
"My grandfather is teaching me so I'll be strong enough to achieve my dream when I'm old enough" Cyrus said as he went into the back and pulled out sweets for him and Leizle.
"And what dream would that be?" Leizle asked with a look of curiosity while taking a bite out of her dark green frosted cupcake .
"To become the next pirate king" Cyrus said while taking a bite from his yellow frosted cupcake as Leizle just stared at him with stars in her eyes and look of awe on her face.
"Whoa that's cool!, I heard amazing things about the pirate king" Leizle said as a grin formed on her own face "I actually think you'll be able to do it after seeing you beat up that kid and I'll be there to see it happen"
"Thanks, wait what?" Cyrus said with a look of shock and confusion.
"I said I'll be there when you become the next pirate king" Leizle said while being oblivious to Cyrus's confusion "I don't have to be your first crew mate or anything just as long you don't forget about me when you start your sailing adventure"
"Well I don't-" Cyrus began to say until a voice rang out.
"Leizle!, Where are you we finished selling our stock" A male voice said louder making her stand up.
"Coming Dad!" Leizle yelled before she turned towards Cyrus and gave him a hug "You better not forget about me captain, or I'll hunt ya down!"
Cyrus stared in silent confusion as he watched Leizle run over to a young man and give him a wave before they walked away.
"Hunt me down, huh, I can't wait" Cyrus said with a smile as he stood up, picked up his stuff and jogged home.
4 Years later
Cyrus let out a angry yell as his fist dug deep into the battered, bruised, bloody and shirtless teenaged boy's face.
Blood burst from the teenage boy's mouth as his eyes rolled into the back of his head while he collapsed into the sandy ground face first.
"And Cyrus has done!, he's beat everyone and now going to fight the champion tomorrow!" A young female voice exclaimed as the crowd of men and woman roared with joy.
"Amazing kid you've done it again, I knew investing in you was a great idea" A short man with a thin mustache and pale yellow suit said with a grin as he threw Cyrus a towel.
"Thanks Tony, I just hope that the champion is strong as everyone says he is" Cyrus said as he wiped away the sweat and the teenage boy's blood off.
"Of course he is or he wouldn't be the champion" Tony said as he walked pass a group of men and woman while taking wads of berri out of their hands with a wide smirk on his face.
"Sure Tony just give me my cut so I can go" Cyrus said with a frown as he watched Tony run a thumb over a couple of notes before handing Cyrus a small stack.
"Make sure to get some rest!" Tony called out as Cyrus simply waved him off and left the arena.
"So you're fighting the champion?" A voice said making Cyrus whiz around to see his mother standing next to the entrance of the arena with her arms crossed.
"What are you doing here? aren't you suppose to be working" Cyrus asked as he glanced around everywhere before keeping his eyes on the ground.
"I decided to close early so I can get ready for your grandfather's return" Janet said as she narrowed her eyes "What would you think he would say if he found out that you're fighting in this pit instead of training"
"All I ever do is train!" Cyrus shouted in sudden frustration as he locked eyes with his mother who didn't say anything allowing him to continue "I respect granddad for training me for all these years I do but it gets boring have all these skills and strenght and not having anyone to truly put them against"
Cyrus glanced down at his hands and formed a tight fists.
"I want to experience what having a real fight is like, feeling a sense of danger as every hit I take could knock me out or break a bone while forming rivals with equally strong people and striving to beat someone who left me beaten, broken and bloody" Cyrus said as he looked eyes with his mother who let out a sigh.
"I won't tell grandpa" Janet said which made Cyrus simply stare at her "I won't tell him, I'll make something up so come here and fight the champion, If you really feel like than then I won't stop you since its a life lesson you need to learn"
"Thank you" Cyrus said before he stared in shock as his mom's fist was inches away from his face as a warm smile appeared on her face.
"I understand how you feel since I was like that before I fought your father, so go and have your match and just have fun since whether you win or lose it will still help you become a better fighter" Sally said as she lowered her fist and suddenly hugged her son.
"Thanks mom I won't lose" Cyrus said as he completed the hug.
"I know you won't since you have me and your father's blood in your veins" Sally said as she kissed her son's cheek "Now come on I need you to set the table"
"Now the challenger that has been wiping the floor with everyone Cyrus!" A female voice exclaimed as the crowd of men and woman roared and yelled as a bunch of people rushed to take bets.
Cyrus let out a slow breath and cracked his arms before stretching his legs.
"And here is the undefeated champion Jackson!" The female voice yelled loudly as the crowds roar blared out to the point it was almost deafening.
Cyrus locked eyes with the champion who is exactly his age had has fair skin skin, long dark brown hair with matching eyes and a six pack.
Jackson nodded his head at Cyrus before cracking his arms and stretching his legs.
"Now fight!" The female voice yelled prompting Jackson and Cyrus to walk towards each other.
"I heard so much about you, I'm actually worried today I might lose" Jackson said as he stuck his hand out.
"Same everyone here keeps going on about you, I hope it isn't all talk" Cyrus said as he shook Jackson's hand with a strong grip that he matched before the two of the released their grip.
Cyrus quickly got into his boxing stance and threw a quick five hit combo which Jackson narrowly evaded before quickly slashing with a right straight kick which Cyrus ducked underneath and dash forward with a right hook which connected but a sudden burst of pain in his gut along with loosing all of the air in his lungs made him glance down to see Jackson's left knee deep in his stomach while his extended leg is now planted firmly on the ground.
"And both the challenger and Champion exchange vicious blows right off the bat!" The female voice yelled which pumped up the crowd as Cyrus smirked through the pain along with Jackson.
He wasn't all talk!, He's the real deal! Both Cyrus and Jackson thought as Cyrus backed off allowing Jackson to lower his knee and sprint forward with a flying knee which slammed Cyrus's back against the steel cage as he blocked against.
Cyrus acted quickly by grasping Jackson's right leg in a tight hold prompting him to lock his arms around Cyrus's neck and quickly ram his other knee into his side making him let out a grunt before he spun around and slammed the champion back first onto the ground so it was his turn to let out a grunt.
"And Both of them decide to take the action to the ground after the champion gave the challenger a clean knee to his guts which looks like its already starting to bruise" The female voice said as Cyrus could feel the sting of the bruise but fought through it as he manged to position himself into a cross lock.
Jackson grunted from the sharp pain coming from his trapped right arm before he turned himself over and rammed his fist into Cyrus's face making his grip falter and break free.
"The champion escapes from the submission lock" The female voice commented as Cyrus rolled to the side and avoided Jackson's axe kick before he got up and sent a volley of punches which slammed into Jackson's torso.
"But that doesn't stop the challenger from being on the offensive!" The female voice shouted as the crowd roared and stood up as Cyrus continued to throw punches as Jackson slammed against the cage.
Jackson's eyes widened in shock as he managed to dive to the side and watched Cyrus's fist slam into the cage which bent and twist around his fist.
He's something else, I can finally go all out Jackson thought as he dashed forward just as Cyrus yanked his fist out of the cage and attacked with a spinning back fist which Jackson slid underneath at the last second and follow up with a leg sweep that sent Cyrus off his feet and quickly spun into a handstand and slammed his right heel straight into his gut in a manner of seconds which shifted the ground as Cyrus sunk into it.
"And the champion sends the challenger into the ground!" The female voice exclaimed as everyone was roaring in awe at what they just saw.
He blocked it, I can't believe he blocked it! Jackson thought as he felt Cyrus's forearm instead of his stomach. He flipped back onto his feet and dashed back as Cyrus do a kip up before patting his arms.
Man if I didn't block that in time my guts would of been in serious trouble Cyrus thought as he glanced behind him to see the crater he and Jackson made If he's able to do that then I guess it's okay if I stop holding back.
Jackson and Cyrus locked eyes with each other and gained a fierce grin before they rushed each other and began to exchange volley of blurred punches and kicks which sent blood splattering on the sand.
"They are attacking each other with such speed I can't tell what's happening!" The female voice said as everyone swarmed the cage to get a better look at the two blurred figures that now started to blitz around the arena while the cage walls sometimes gained random dents or exploded apart.
Cyrus and Jackson both skidded to a stop as they stared at the damaged they did to each other while slowly regaining their breaths.
"B-Both of them are suddenly covered in bruises and blood!, I think this match is finally coming to a close" The female voice stuttered as everyone is tightly holding wads of money while Tony is biting his nails.
"Man this was a great fight I don't even care if I lose the title" Jackson said with a grin before spitting out a wad of blood.
"I agree so lets get some food after getting patched up" Cyrus said to which Jackson nodded his head before the two of them sprinted forward.
"Kick Boxing Dragon Kick!" "Boxing Tiger Jab!" Both of them shouted as Jackson's right foot slammed into Cyrus's face while Cyrus's fist rammed into Jackson's chest.
Cyrus spat out a wad of blood as the two of them was flung back by the force of their attacks and crashed through a cage wall which exploded apart opposite.
The crowd dived out of the way of the two fighters tore through the wooden stands and was stopped once they slammed into the thick stone walls which gained multiply cracks.
"I-Its a draw!" The female voice yelled in shocked as the entire arena was in a uproar at what happened right in front of them while the people surrounding Jackson and Cyrus saw that they was sporting bloody grins on their unconscious faces.
As Cyrus and his grandfather just finished training the dojo doors flew open to reveal Janet who has a sad look on her face.
"Darius the marines caught the pirate king" Janet said which made a look of shock appear on both of their faces "And Sirius is going to oversee the execution"
"He is" Darius muttered as the wooden man walked over and instantly turned into a cane "Cyrus we'll continue your training later, where is the execution taking place?"
"At Loguetown in a couple of hours" Janet said as she stared at Darius who had a hard look on his face.
"I'll get us a boat, Cyrus we'll continue our training once we get back" Darius said as all three of them entered their home and got ready to leave.
"How did the marines manage to catch the pirate king of all people?" Cyrus asked as Janet is staring at the execution platform where her husband Sirius a tall and muscular man with a black buzz cut, dark brown skin, and dark purple eyes is standing still and straight forward like a statue.
A frown formed on her face when she glanced at his entire left arm and hand that is made out of silver. He locked eyes with her and gave her a warm smile before turning his gaze back towards the docks.
"It took everything they had to fight the pirates that was allied with him and his crew with both sides losing a lot of people" Janet said as she glanced at a couple of people clutching pictures of people wearing marine uniforms with smiles on their faces "Though the high ranking members took on the actual strawhat crew"
"He's here!" A young woman suddenly yelled which drew everyone's attention to the cuffed man wearing a dark red dress shirt with a black tie, black pants . matching shoes and a large black coat with gold trims walked down the street with a grin on his face while two marines wielding spears flanked him on either side.
Everyone stared at the pirate king with different mixture of emotions as the twenty five year old man with shoulder length black hair, a black goatee walked pass them just as a gust of wind blew his yellow strawhat off his head and in front of Cyrus who bent down and held it in his hands.
"Thanks for picking up my hat, what's your name?" A happy toned voice asked making Cyrus stare at the pirate king who has a smile on his face.
"I'm Cyrus, Cyrus D Blackwood you can have your hat back" Cyrus said as he gave back the strawhat.
Cyrus why don't you tell him the promise you made?" Janet suggested as she could tell that her son was tense.
"You made a promise huh?" The pirate king said with a grin as he sat down in front of Cyrus which made the marines glare "Tell me"
"Sure the promise is that I'm going to become the next pirate king and have a adventure just like you did sir" Cyrus said as he locked eyes with the pirate king.
"If you go on this adventure then there will be a lot of strong people both marines and other pirates standing in your way do you think you can beat them all?" The pirate king asked as a look of sudden determination formed on Cyrus's face as any hint of nervousness vanished.
"I promised my mom I would become the next pirate king and trained like crazy so it's going to happen" Cyrus said as he formed a fist "And I'll beat anyone who stands in my way and get stronger while doing it!"
"Is that so?" The pirate king said as a fierce grin formed on his face as he stood up and planted his strawhat right on top of Cyrus's head which stunned him "Then as the second pirate king Monkey D Luffy keep my hat as a bond between a previous and new king of the sea"
"Thank you I'll keep this hat safe and definitely become the pirate king now" Cyrus said with a smile as he gently touched the strawhat and stared at Luffy's grinning face.
"Hey kid give back the hat!" A marine suddenly shouted as he walked over to Cyrus and reached his hand out towards the straw hat. Though before he could lay a finger on it a hand suddenly grabbed his wrist making the marine grunt in pain as he glanced up to see Janet staring at him with a sweet smile on her face despite the cold look in her eyes.
"That is a nice hat isn't Mr marine?" Janet said as she tightened her grip making the marine winched while his knees buckled from the pain.
"Y-yes it is a nice hat" The marine muttered as he flashed Cyrus a pain filled smile.
"Hahaha you're cool lady!" Luffy said with a smirk as he stood up and petted Cyrus on his shoulder before turning to the marine just as Janet released his wrist making him rub it to ease the pain "Alright let's go"
The marine officer just muttered under his breath as he pushed Luffy towards the platform before they soon reached the top with Luffy sitting down cross legged.
"Second pirate king monkey D Luffy it's time for your execution" Sirius said in a gruff low voice as he read a list of crimes Luffy has committed before turning to the spear wielders and nodding his head prompting them to stood in front of Luffy with their weapons at the ready.
"WAIT!" A middle aged man suddenly showed which drew everyone's attention for a second time "PIRATE KING WHERE DID YOU HIDE YOUR TREASURE!"
Everyone turned their head to stare a Luffy who slowly formed a grin before his body shook from laughter.
"My treasure huh?, sure you can have it I had my fun" Luffy said as the spear wielders pressed the tip of their spears against his chest.
"Be quite!" A spear wielder growled with a look of fear in his eyes.
"WHERE DID YOU HIDE ONE PIECE!" The middle aged man yelled even louder before being backed up with yells of agreement from the rest of crowd that turned into loud deafening chant "ONE PIECE!, ONE PIECE!, ONE PIECE!"
"Instructor what should we do?" A spear wielder asked as Sirius glanced at Cyrus who is also chanting.
"Speak your final words king and make them good since my son is listening" He said while taking out a cigar and lighting it before taking a drag.
"YOU WANT MY TREASURE SO MUCH THEN YOU CAN HAVE IT!" Luffy shouted which instantly silenced the crowd as they looked on in anticipation "I found the first pirate king's treasure and added what me and my crew found so if you want it then search for it as I left all of it in that place!"
The crowd exploded in a joyous roar as Luffy simply laughed with a fierce grin on his face as something wet landed on Cyrus's nose making him look up and stare at the dark clouds before rain started to heavily pour down.
"Now you can finally leave this world" Sirius said as threw his finished cigar off the platform while Luffy locked eyes with Cyrus and winked before the spear wielders raised their weapons and pierced Luffy through the chest.
"Alright men take the body and everyone else clear out!" Sirius ordered as he watched his wife and son walk away while Cyrus had a determined look on his face.
"I see that Janet decided to fill our son's head with pirate nonsense" Sirius muttered as he stood at the edge of the platform and watched multiply ships and boats leave before glancing down at Darius.
"Yes every night she would read him tale from the pirate king's adventure even the first pirate king if he was a good boy" Darius said as he exhaled smoke from his pipe "I tried to dissuade both of them but you know how she can be when she sets her mind on something and it doesn't help the he's inherited her stubbornness"
"Don't remind me" Sirius said with a small smile as he rubbed his chest.
"Which is why I already started training him with the basic styles, though once he defeats you I'll give him our book to learn from" Darius said as the tall marine nodded his head.
"You say that like he'll have an easy time fighting me" Sirius said with a smile "And from seeing his form I can tell it won't be easy on my part, he's developing well, reminds me of myself at his age"
"I would say so since apparently he was busy fighting in arena when I was away" Darius said as a grin formed on his face "He beat everyone and had to fight seriously when he took on the champion"
"And?" Sirius asked as Darius grin grew wider.
"They beat each other to a bloody until they was unconscious and destroyed the damn thick steel cage" Darius said as a proud smile appeared on Sirius's face.
"Hell if he's anything like his mother he'll be causing a hell of a lot of trouble for the world government" Sirius said with a laugh "And if he's anything like me he'll be doing it for the right reason"
"Which will make fighting him even more harder since he'll be too prideful to back down" Darius said with a laugh.
Darius stopped laughing as he stared at his son's silver arm and let out an annoyed sigh.
"I see you ran into him?, how is he?" He asked as the memory of two bruised and battered young boys staring up at him with a toothy grin.
"I don't know where he is, I lost my arm saving one of my subordinates" Sirius said with no emotion in his voice making Darius sigh again "But I'll keep an eye out"
"Thank you" Darius said as he tightened his grip on the cane. Sirius glanced behind him and saw a young woman wearing a marine uniform.
"Vice Admiral Blackwood Sir the body is ready for burial and the ship is ready to depart" The young woman said with a salute.
"I'm coming, Dad I'll leave Cyrus's training to you make sure to teach him Rokushiki as well, and tell Janet that I got the cake she made" Sirius said as Darius just nodded his head.
"I will, be safe and don't forget your training as well you're getting fat" Darius said with a grin as he poked his son in his stomach and walked away leaving him glaring and the young marine trying not to laugh.
7 years Later
"Five thousand!" Cyrus grunted with a deeper voice as he stopped doing one armed push ups and leaned to the side which toppled the set of huge weights on his back before he stood up with a towering height of 6 foot and seven inches and wiped the mask of sweat off his face and well toned torso.
"lets test your Rokushiki before you leave, first Tekkai" Darius said as he watched Cyrus get into the horse stance and placed his hands behind his head.
"Tekkai!" Cyrus shouted as he took a quick breath and hardened his muscles before Darius's cane turned into a wooden man that rushed towards him and sent rapid body shots.
Cyrus had no emotion on his face as the wooden fists slammed into his eight pack but stayed firm and concentrated on his muscle control.
"Well done" Darius said as the wooden man stopped punching which allowed Cyrus to stand up straight and pat the wood flakes off his stomach "Next go over to the wall"
Cyrus stood at the left wall of the dojo while the wooden man stuck its right hand out and left hand down.
"It will send a small piece of bark into the ground and also fire another one at the wall, you will have to catch both with Soru" Darius said as his grandson just nodded his head before narrowing his eyes.
"Start!" "Soru!" Darius and Cyrus shouted just as the wooden man fired out two pieces of bark like bullets from his palms while Cyrus vanished with a trail of smoke.
Darius felt a hand touch his shoulder making him glance behind him to see Cyrus holding the two pieces of bark between his fingers.
"Excellent now use Geppo to grab this apple before it can" Darius said as he picked up a red apple and launched it into the air just as the wooden man grew angel like wings and shot off into the air.
"Geppo!" Cyrus shouted as he jumped up and rapidly kicked off the air as he easily caught up to the wooden man before they both stretched their arms out to grab the falling apple.
The wooden man's left arm started to rapidly extend making Cyrus's eyes narrow and tense the muscles in his legs before he shot himself straight up like a rocket and pass the extending arm as he snatched the apple out of the air.
He flipped himself around and used his other leg to shoot himself towards the ground before landing with a crouch and tossing the apple to his grandfather.
"Good now try and hit me with Shigan" Darius said as he caught the apple.
"Are you sure I don't wanna hurt you?" Cyrus asked to which Darius just smirked.
"You couldn't hurt me even if you tried, Now come" Darius said as Cyrus walked over to him and pointed one finger at him.
"Shigan!" Cyrus yelled as he shot his finger towards his grandfather's face and gained a confused look when he felt something wet encase his finger making him glance down to see that his finger has pierced straight through the apple.
"See couldn't hurt me even if you tried" Darius said as Cyrus gave him a mock glare and pull his finger out of the apple "Now slice the apple apart with Rankyaku"
"Is it getting hard to chew your food grandpa?" Cyrus asked which made the wooden man punch him on the top of his head "Alright you cranky buzzard"
Cyrus patted his right leg as he waited for his grandfather to throw the apple.
"Now" Darius said as he launched the apple into the air.
"Rankyaku!" Cyrus shouted as he did a high kick which was a blur as he sent out a thing and long curved wave of air that soared towards the apple and sliced it cleanly in half before the wooden man caught the two pieces and held one in front of Darius who took a bite and nodded his head.
"Lets continue with Kami-e, its a simple one don't get hit" Darius said as the wooden man grew four more arms as each of his hands turned into spikes before he rushed towards Cyrus and sent a volley of thrusts.
"Kami-e!" Cyrus said as he seamlessly bobbed and weaved around and pass the spikes.
Though one of the spikes suddenly stopped inches from his face making his eyes widen for a split second as his body still moved out of the way of the stopped attack before a grin formed on his face as he moved his gaze slightly to the left and saw another spike racing towards his face prompting him to quickly turn his body to the side and watch the spike stab the air next to his head.
"It took you long enough" Darius said with a proud smile "Now lets finish with Rokuogan"
Cyrus nodded his head and cracked his arms and fingers while the wooden man sat down and turned into a overweight man. Cyrus narrowed his eyes and let out a slow breath as he positioned both fists inches away from the stomach of the wooden man before he glanced at his grandfather.
"When you're ready" Darius said as Cyrus gave him a sharp nod and stared at the giant stomach in front of him for a couple of minutes.
"Rokuogan!" Cyrus shouted as he tensed his arms making veins appear as he shot his fists forward and against the large stomach making the wooden man's entire body shudder, crack and a loud bang as its back was blown out.
Cyrus smirked as he stared at his shaking hands before he tightened his fists and turned to his grandfather who has a serious look on his face.
"It took your father and uncle years to perfect that technique so be proud at the fact you mastered it in shorter time" Darius said as a smile formed on his face. After he said that the parts of the wooden returned to the wooden man before it turned back into a cane allowing Cyrus to see that the wall in front of him has a deep impact crater.
"I'll continue to train until my fists stop bleeding" Cyrus said with determination in his eyes.
"Good and remember what I told you, when you face your father go at him with everything you have and nothing less" Darius said as Cyrus nodded his head.
"Yeah don't worry I'll will" Cyrus said as he stuck his right hand out which his grandfather held tightly held to test his hard earned strength.
"Good a nice iron clad grip" Darius said with a laugh as he released Cyrus's hand "Now go and put on the outfit your mom made for you"
Cyrus walked to the entrance to the dojo before he stopped and bowed in front of his grandfather as he pressed his forehead against the ground.
"Thank you for training me for all these years!, I'll make you proud by becoming the pirate king!" Cyrus said as his grandfather walked over to him and rested a hand on his shoulder making him look up and see the proud smile on his face.
"Don't thank me just don't die or your mother will kill me" Darius said making his grandson grin "Speaking of her she's busy in the tavern so I'll let her know you've gone"
Cyrus nodded his head with a even larger grin as he stood up and sprinted into the house.
He stepped in front of a full body mirror he finished tying his black dreadlocks into a ponytail along with tying up his beard before smoothing out any creases in his dark grey jeans and white tank top, adjusting the black and grey checkered shirt tied around his waist and wiped off dark brown boots.
"Alright time to start my adventure" Cyrus said with a grin as he picked up the strawhat and stared at it before placing it on his head and glancing at the Yin Yang tattoo on his right shoulder.
Without a second to lose he made his way to the dock and leapt into a boat with a engine.
He yanked the cord which sent ripples out before he sped away from the Island.
It's time to start my adventure, I wonder if I should find that girl or wait for her to hunt me down? Cyrus thought as he stared at the sun and vast sea in front of him Either way I can't wait to get my crew together and soon become pirate king!
The next chapters are going to still have Izayami and everyone else as before.
