Metal Town pt 1
The peacefulness of the ocean is currently being disturbed by the roaring engine of Cyrus's boat while he snores inside.
A shadow suddenly appeared and started to grow underneath the boat before a large section of the sea surrounding the boat suddenly exploded outwards as a massive light green sea king with a extremely long neck and sharp horn roared as it whipped around.
Huh?" Cyrus muttered as he stopped snoring and glanced around to see nothing but the sky and clouds.
He leaned over the boat and saw the sea king below him "What the hell are you?"
The sea king stared at Cyrus and ran its long forked tongue over its razor sharp teeth before extending its neck with its mouth wide open.
"Oh I needed a morning workout" Cyrus said as he turned off the engine and leapt forward as the sea king's head got closer.
"Taekwondo Hurricane Kick!" Cyrus shouted as he quickly twisted his body around and became a blur before swinging his left leg around which connected with the sea king's jaw making its whole body be flung to the side.
Cyrus kicked off the air with geppo and dashed forward as the sea king let out a weak growl and shook its head before turning its sights back on Cyrus.
"Huh, so you're still able to move?" Cyrus said as he cracked his knuckles and neck "Then you better fight well whatever you are or I'll have you for breakfast"
The sea king let out a roar of pure anger swam towards Cyrus before shooting its head forward with its horn ready to pierce.
"Boxing Mountain Crush!" Cyrus shouted as he swung his left arm around and connected with the sea king's horn which snapped cleanly in half and sunk into the sea. The sea king growled in frustration before turning around and whipping its spike covered tail towards Cyrus.
"Tekkai Turtle Shell!" Cyrus shouted as he crossed his arms in front of him and took the full brunt of the attack directly which sent him flying.
"Geppo Air Sprinter" Cyrus said as he uncrossed arms covered in light cuts before kicking off the air which allowed him to back flip and launch himself towards the sea king with blinding speed.
"And Boxing Brain Shaker!" Cyrus shouted as the sea king slammed its mouth shut when Cyrus was in range but gained a look of confusion since there was no one in it's mouth though that look quickly changed to pain then dizziness as Cyrus appeared next to it's head with his right fist pushing against it left temple.
"Is that the best you can do?" Cyrus asked as he kicked off the air and hopped a few meters away from the sea king who began to attack the air in confusion "Because I haven't even broken a sweat"
The sea king stopped moving and began to shake and thrash about before it let out a wave forming roar and stared at Cyrus with blood red eyes.
"So you've gotten mad huh, good now lets see if it makes you any stronger" Cyrus said as he watched the sea king blitzed towards him as it cut through the sea like a knife before spinning around like a whirlpool and whipping it spike tail towards Cyrus along with a strong gust of wind.
"Boxing Tekkai Gorilla Cannon!" Cyrus shouted as he threw a straight right punch which stopped the tail and send out a small shockwave as the sea king roared and started to whip his tail around with blinding speed while Cyrus countered with a volley of punches that each shattered a spike.
"And Boxing Jugon Spear Punch!" Cyrus shouted as the final spike on the sea king's tail cracked and fell into the sea as Cyrus quickly launched himself forward and decked the sea king straight in its nose with a straight right punch which mushed its nose inwards and send it flopping back into the sea.
"Since you gave me a good workout I won't eat you" Cyrus said as he kept himself afloat and watched the sea king snarl and rush him "So lets calm you down before you hurt yourself"
Cyrus launched himself high into the air with a couple of kicks before he straightened himself out and kicked off the air again shooting himself towards the sea king like a bullet.
"Taekwondo Diving Hawk!" Cyrus shouted as he raised his left leg straight up and when he got closer brought his leg down and slammed his heel on top of the sea king's head which sent large waves out from the force of the attack.
The sea king eyes turned back to white before they widened in shock as its head sunk inside its neck while Cyrus smirked as he jumped off the sea king and landed in his boat.
"So you have you calmed down or do I need to hit you again?" Cyrus asked as he watched the sea king's head rise out of its neck and weakly growl as it nodded its head.
"Good now take me to an Island, I need to eat something and get fuel" Cyrus said as the sea king shook it's head in fear making Cyrus chuckle as he laid down "Stop worrying I was never going to eat you, since I don't like fish"
The sea king let out another weak growl and nodded its head as it went underneath the sea before it rose up with Cyrus's boat on its back as it swam east.
"Wake me up when we get some where okay" Cyrus said as he lied down and began to sleep.
The sea king let out a roar and shook its back which woke up Cyrus who let a yawn and crack his stiff bones as he stared at the setting sun and the Island in the distance.
"Thanks" Cyrus said as he stared at the Island a few meters away and saw that it has tall colorful buildings.
The sea king let out a roar and sank underneath the sea which got Cyrus's boat off his back before it flicked its tail which sent Cyrus rocketing towards the Island.
"Tekkai Strength" Cyrus said after he stood up and stuck his foot out before he slammed into the dock making the iron supports groan from the pressure while Cyrus and his boat instantly stopped and tilted into the air before slamming back down.
"This place looks pretty cool" Cyrus said to himself as he got out and tied his boat to the slightly twisted dock and stared at the buildings made from different metals before glancing at a sign post "It's called metal town, huh I wonder if I'll find a crew mate here?"
Cyrus put his hands in his pocket and walked pass the shocked dock workers who are staring at the mangled dock as Cyrus began to explore the Island.
"Watch out!" A man suddenly shouted along with a single cry making Cyrus turn to see a crying young girl wearing yellow dress and matching flat shoes, light brown hair in pigtail and a scared young boy with fair skin, dirty blond hair, dark blue eyes lying on the ground.
A metal slab landed next to the children making him look up to see a bunch of metal slabs fall from a tall building being constructed.
"Soru, Rankyaku, Blitzkrieg Blades!" Cyrus shouted as he moved next to the children so fast that it looked like he teleported before doing a volley of blurred kicks which sent a multiply air blades towards the metal slabs which instantly separated into tiny pieces.
"You kids okay, you aren't hurt are you?" Cyrus asked as the brown haired girl and blond boy looked up at him.
"We're fine, thank you sir" The young girl said while the blond boy nodded his head.
"Please don't call me sir the name's Cyrus" Cyrus said with a smile as he brushed off flakes of metal.
"How did you get over to us so fast and cut the metal to pieces?" The young girl asked as she and the boy stared at Cyrus who smirked.
"I trained very hard to that and much more" Cyrus said as the young kids stared at him with stars in their eyes "So what's your names?"
"I'm Anna and he's Mike" Anna said with a smile as Mike waved as men wearing hard hats began to clear the metal that was still in chunks. They thanked Cyrus and apologized to the kids.
"Why did you answer for Mike?, Can't he talk or something?" Cyrus asked as Mike nodded his head making Cyrus's eyes widen slightly as he saw a faint scar around his throat and just nodded his head making Mike smile slightly.
"Alright do any of you know where I can get some food and some fuel for my boat, I've kinda been sailing on a empty stomach" Cyrus said with a chuckle as his stomach growled making the two kids laugh.
"We know of a tavern that makes tasty food!" Anna said with a large smile on her face as she grabbed Cyrus's left hand while Mike grabbed Cyrus's right hand and lead him down the street with a grin on his face.
Cyrus glanced at the Island to see that every single building was made out of iron, and all of them were designed in different colors and shapes which overall impressed him.
"This is the place." Anna said as Cyrus stared at a dark blue and grey building with the sign,
'Funky Metal Tavern'
Mike opened the door and walked in with Cyrus and Anna following behind as everyone simply glanced at them before continuing with their drinking, small talk and eating.
Cyrus glanced around and saw that the people who barely gave him any notice had missing limbs as Anna and Mike ran over to the counter and hugged the barmaid who despite all the muscles still has great feminine features.
"Anna, Mike how are you two?" The muscular barmaid asked as she released the two of them and smiled.
"Where okay auntie Mary, we met Cyrus who saved us from falling metal" Anna said while Mike nodded his head.
"Oh so that was what that loud noise was, well thank you for saving them" Mary said as she gave Cyrus a caring smile.
"Don't mention it, I was just there at the right time" Cyrus said with a smile as he sat down on one of the stools at the counter.
"Well we need more people like you here" Mary said with a warm smile "I heard that someone came here with the help of a sea king was that also you?" Mary asked as Cyrus formed a small smirk.
"Yeah it woke me up and wanted to fight, so I beat it up and got it to take me here" Cyrus said as Mary gained a large smile.
"Well don't we have a daring hottie here, you must be starving after all that so what can I get you?" Mary said as she winked at Cyrus making him chuckle slightly.
"I don't really have any money on me" Cyrus said as Mary just gave him a pat on his shoulder which made him slouch slightly.
"Don't worry its on the house since you rescued these little flowers" Mary said as Anna and Mike formed large smiles.
"In that case can I have this and something for the kids?" Cyrus said as he pointed at the menu stuck to the counter while Mary nodded her head and turned around to face the small window.
"Baby serve up three meaty ones, one drunken mug and two apple drinkers!" Mary called out.
"Coming right up mom" A soft voice said before the sounds of something sizzling and things being chopped could be heard.
"So what made you go out to sea and pick fights with sea kings?" Mary asked as she clutched Cyrus's hand which reminded him of his mother's tight grip.
"Well I didn't want to fight sea kings it kinda just happened but I stared sailing so I can find people to join my pirate crew" Cyrus said as he removed his hand from Mary's iron grip and gave her a small smile as Mike and Anna stared in shock.
"You're a pirate?" Anna asked in shock as Cyrus nodded his head with a grin.
"Yeah I'm trying to become the next pirate king since I made a promise to my mom and I intend to keep it" Cyrus said as he took of his strawhat "Also the second pirate king Monkey D Luffy gave me his hat when I was a teen which kinda formed a bond between us"
"Wow so cool!" Anna said with a look of pure awe on her face while Mike just formed an ear to ear grin as they stared at Cyrus's hat "Can we touch your hat"
"Sure just don't rip it" Cyrus said as he placed the hat on top of Anna's head leaving the two of them to chatter.
"So you're that kid who was talking to the pirate king during his execution" Mary said as Cyrus just smiled.
"Yeah that's me" Cyrus said as Mary glanced at the strawhat then back at Cyrus.
"I thought I saw that strawhat somewhere before" Mary said as she poured a drink for a man "Well let me just say that I wish you luck as I heard that the marines are really cracking down on piracy" Mary said as she glanced at the kids before leaning in close "They even started public execution of high bounty pirates"
"Yeah I know my granddad and mom told me all about it but I wouldn't even go out to sea if I didn't think I could handle myself" Cyrus said as Mary laughed and slapped him on the shoulder again.
"Glad you have confidence I know that the news is going to be filled with stories about you and your crew" Mary said with a smile as a door next to the bar opened up revealing a young petite woman with dark blue hair hidden underneath a white kerchief, fair skin, light blue eyes and wearing a dark red blouse, a tan skirt that goes pass her knees and flat dark brown shoes.
The petite woman is also holding a tray with three perfectly cooked steaks, salads in a beautiful design, a mug of rum and two cups filled with juice.
"Who ordered the three meaty ones, a cup of rum and two cups of apple juice?" The petite woman asked before Cyrus put his hand up. "I hope you enjoy the meal, sir." The petite woman said with a small bow before she walked towards the door but Mary grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
"Alex don't be in such a rush. Business is slow today, why don't you rest and talk to hottie here?" Mary said as she pointed at Cyrus who handed Anna and Mike their own meals and drinks before he dug into his own with a smile on his face. "Alex this is Cyrus, Cyrus this is my daughter Alex"
"Hey" Cyrus said after he swallowed the last part of his meal and washed it down with his drink before he stared up at Alex and gave her a smile.
"You're food is very good, it filled me right up sorry I can't pay for such a good service" Cyrus said as he stood up and took his hat off of Mike's head.
"Don't worry, just having you as a regular costumer is all we need, so please come again" Alex said with a sweet smile as she, Anna, Mike and Mary watched Cyrus walk towards the door just as it swung open to reveal a bunch of men wearing leather and carrying pipes, bats and a few guns.
"Out of our way scum!" A scrawny man shouted as he barged passed Cyrus along with the rest of the group making Cyrus give them a glance as he stopped and waited next to the entrance.
He watched one of the men slam a large cleaver into the floorboards making a wave of fear wash over everyone in the tavern while an annyoned look appeared on Mary's face.
Cyrus glanced around to see the tavern patron's faces as they turned away from the scene while clutching their own missing limbs just as Anna and Mike shook with fear and jumped off the stools before moving to the side.
"It's time to pay up you two" A muscular and tall man who has black messy hair, pitch black eyes, a black goatee and a deep scar running down the left side of his face said as he glanced at Mary and Alex.
"You guys didn't pay the tax yesterday which was your first warning, Alex" The black-haired man said as he yanked the cleaver out of the ground and rested it against his shoulder and locked eyes with Mary, "And your third warning"
"Stop Jack, don't!" Alex pleaded as she saw her mother's annoyed look turned to one of anger.
"You know the rules" Jack said as he tightened his grip on his weapon before he turned his head towards the other men and gave them a nod.
Two giant sized men walked around the counter and grabbed Mary as she struggled against their grip which despite her muscles didn't do much as they dragged her from around the counter.
"I'll give you everything we made today and give you the rest tomorrow! Just don't take her!" Alex shouted with tears forming in her eyes as Jack simply shook his head making her run towards the men holding her mother only to crash against the ground with a thud as one of the larger man hit her with a elbow.
"ALEX!, YOU BASTARDS LET ME GO!" Mary roared in anger as she struggled against the two men even harder.
"Calm down that was to remind her, you and everyone else in here, what happens when you don't pay the tax." Jack said as he turned around and stared at Cyrus sprinting towards him with a look of anger on his face.
"Taekwondo Diving Hawk!" Cyrus growled as he leapt over Jack and soared towards the two men and Mary before quickly raising his left leg and bringing it straight down on top of the left giant man's head.
Everyone stared in stunned silence as the sound of the giant man's skull hitting the ground and cracking the floorboards rung out. The people closer to where he fell was surprised to see his eyes have rolled into the back of his head.
"And Hurricane Kick!" Cyrus shouted which everyone heard along with a pained groan as they quickly turned their attention back to Cyrus who was bringing his right leg around and back on the ground as the other giant man was spinning away from her as he crashed on top of a table which broke apart on impact.
"You punks aren't taking her anywhere" Cyrus said with a serious look on his face as he stood protectively in front of Mary who is stopping the bleeding on Alex's head with her kerchief while everyone else stared in utter shock.
"You dare interrupt the punishment?" Jack asked as he glared at Cyrus who suddenly dashed forward and punched him across his face.
Everyone watched as Jack was lunched back and slammed through the door and into the street.
"He just punched Jack 'The Bloody Butcher' and knocked out the two others!" A woman with one arm said in shock as she stared at Cyrus who lowered his fist.
"He must be crazy if he thinks he's going to get out of this Island alive now!" A man with one leg said as he stared at the other scary looking men who were glaring at Cyrus as they aimed their guns at him while the others tightly held their pipes and bats.
The door opened up as Jack walked through as he wiped blood away from the corner of his mouth.
"You must be new here if you just attacked us recklessly like that, aren't you?" Jack asked as he locked eyes with Cyrus.
"I just got here" Cyrus said as he glared at the group of men "Now Leave this tavern before all of you get hurt"
"Is that so?" A thin yet muscular man who put knuckle dusters on said as he walked up to Cyrus and stared up at him "Jack let me beat this dumb bastard up"
"Go on" Jack said as he sat down on the table and watched the thin man get into a boxing stance.
"Allow me to show you what happens when you get in our way!" The thin man shouted before he threw a quick punch towards Cyrus's face "Take this Devil Fist!"
Cyrus simply turned to the side and watched the man's fist fly pass him before he quickly rotated his body and slammed his right knee into the thin man's chest making blood spew out of his mouth as he passed out before hitting the ground.
"I already took out three of you so unless the rest of you want to follow in their footsteps, I strongly suggest you leave now" Cyrus told them, his gaze never leaving Jack "You lot already pissed me off you don't want me to see me furious"
"Alright, well go, that punch just gave you one warning, the next time you cause trouble, you will be taken to the arena is that clear?" Jack asked as he stared at Cyrus.
"Crystal" Cyrus just said as he stared back at the man their gazes never wavering until Jack turned his gaze to Mary and Alex.
"And you," Jack said as he stared at a angry Mary "I'm bringing you down to a first warning. Don't make me regret it."
Mary just glared as she continued to tend to her daughter. Jack and his men left the tavern while carrying the passed out members.
"HE STOOD UP TO THE BLOODY BUTCHER AND LIVED!" The people in the bar shouted in shock before they cheered Cyrus.
"You was so cool!" Anna shouted with a large smile on her face as she and Mike rushed over to Cyrus and hugged him.
"Thanks, is she going to be okay?" Cyrus asked with a concerned look on his face as he stared at Alex who was now groaning.
"She's alright hottie just a light wound nothing I can't fix" Mary said before she carried her daughter through the door before coming back and letting out a sigh minutes later.
"Why did you get involved?" Mary asked as she refilled Cyrus mug with rum "You had no reason?"
"Because I knew it was the right thing to do, that's the only reason I needed" Cyrus said as he took a sip from his mug.
"Hey do you have a place to stay for the night?" Mary asked after she watched Cyrus finish his drink.
"Yeah, I was planning on sleeping in my boat." Cyrus said before Mary suddenly grabbed his right shoulder and gave him a peck on his right cheek.
"You can stay in one of my guest rooms for as long as you need" Mary said as she gave Cyrus a smile "After all you saved me and beat the crap out a Jack and a couple thugs, so it's the least I can do."
"Thanks though since you guys need help paying Jack's tax I'll help" Cyrus said with a smirk. "I saw a fish market before I came here' I'll just do some fishing and give you however much the owner decides to pay me"
"Can we help?, we never been fishing before" Anna said as she and Mike stared up Cyrus who nodded his head.
"Sure it would be nice to have some company, though I must warn you it might be boring" Cyrus said as Mike shook his head.
"Mike's right we don't mind we can draw pictures" Anna said as Cyrus just smiled.
"You're too kind" Mary said with a joyous laugh before she slapped Cyrus on his left shoulder which caught him off guard and sent him slamming into the counter top.
Mary walked away and started to serve her other customers who was talking to themselves while glancing at Cyrus.
"Who knew being kind would hurt so much" Cyrus muttered to himself as he rubbed his shoulder while Anna and Mike laughed making Cyrus give them a small chuckle before he glanced out of a window and watched Jack and his men carry full sacks as they headed towards a large building made of dark grey iron in the distance.
AN: And that's the end of Metal Town Part One, In the next chapter, Cyrus is taken to where people go when they get a third warning.
