Metal Town Pt 3
"So this is the arena I heard about" Cyrus said to himself as he sat up and glanced around the dimly light room. He saw a set of thick steel bars in front of him, a bucket in the corner, the dirty bed he is sitting on and a bowl of rotten fruit.
"Alright now to escape" Cyrus said as he cracked his fingers and stood up before making his away over to the steel bars and reached for it.
"Don't touch the bars" Someone suddenly said making Cyrus stare at the wall to his left where the warning came from.
"Why do they electric shock you or something?" Cyrus asked as he sat down on the bed.
"Yes though they increased the voltage just before dragging you in and its also made of sea stone just in case you have a devil fruit" The voice said as Cyrus picked up a rotten pear and threw it against the metal bars making it instantly cook until it turned black.
"Thanks, you got a name?" Cyrus asked as he sat on the bed making dust rise up around him and force him to start coughing.
"The name's Izayami and I already know who you are since the guards wouldn't shut up about you hitting Jack and beating up three of his goons" Izayami said as Cyrus chuckled after fanning the dust away.
"Yeah that was me, so you mind telling me how you became my cell mate?" Cyrus asked as he stared at the small circle hole in the wall which was his only source of light.
"I came here a couple of days ago just looking for a place to eat, I found this small restaurant owned by a old man who made the best ramen I ever had" Izayami said with slight fondness in his voice "Anyway Jack and a couple of his thugs came in and wanted food, the old man made some which Jack tried before he spat it on the floor and dumped his food on him along with his thugs throwing their food on the walls"
"I knew there was a reason why I hated Jack when we first met" Cyrus commented making Izayami chuckle.
"My thoughts exactly I distrusted him the moment he entered, So after they did all that they wanted to cut the old man's hands off so he can't make ramen ever again which was all I needed to hear before I used one of my sheaths to start knocking the thugs out"
"What about Jack?" Cyrus asked with a look of interest now on his face.
"Well I was going to leave him with a couple broken bones but he decided to draw his own blade, so I drew my own sword and left that scar you properly seen"
"I did, it that must of hurt like hell" Cyrus said as Izayami chuckled again.
"Yeah you should of seen him spew out death threats while struggling to stop the bleeding" Izayami said with a tone of amusement "Though once Jack stumbled out and I threw the unconscious thugs out on the street more came and threatened to burn down the restaurant if I didn't surrender and I bet you can guess what choice I made"
"Well at least the old man's safe" Cyrus said as solid thud rang out which made dust fly out of the wall.
"No he isn't, the moment they put cuffs on me they knocked out the old man threw him inside before setting the restaurant on fire" Izayami said with anger in his voice "Jack said it was punishment for the old man serving him shit food"
"Damn it, if I knew I would of done more than punch him" Cyrus growled as he made a tight fist.
"Well I'm sure you get your chance, now how did you get here?" Izayami asked.
"As you already heard punching Jack was my first warning then beating up two people called the torture twins was what sealed the deal" Cyrus said which made Izayami let out a short laugh.
"That was also you?, I just heard about that you knocked them both out with a single punch" Izayami said with an impressed tone in his voice "Though its pretty idiotic if you ask me, picking fights with two of Jack's men it's almost like you wanted to be put here"
"Yeah that was the plan after all, get taken here and meet the person who is winning all they're fights but doesn't want to leave" Cyrus said as a grin formed on his face "I want to test their skills for myself before asking them to join my crew"
"So you're a pirate?, I hear that being a pirate is suicide since the marines are actually being serious about putting an end to the whole era after what the previous generation did" Izayami asked as Cyrus's grin widened.
"I don't care if it is suicide or not because I made promise to my mom while also forming a bond with the previous pirate king before he died" Cyrus said as he glanced at the yin yang tattoo on his arm and felt the strawhat he still has "So I'll beat anyone who stands in my way especially marines and become the next pirate king"
"That's quite the declaration, though what makes you think I want to join your crew" Izayami said which made Cyrus smirk.
"Because someone or something is keeping you here even though you neither lost a fight" Cyrus said as he heard Izayami chuckle.
"You're right about the something keeping me here, they took my swords so I can't really do anything even if I wanted to" Izayami said as he made a tight fist.
"Then how about this, I help you get your swords back and in return you can help me take down Jack and his boss before becoming my first nakama" Cyrus said as he waited for Izayami to respond.
"Fine since I'm not leaving until I have my swords and see those bastards and everyone joined with them pay" Izayami said as Cyrus could hear the cracking of joints "And it wouldn't hurt to test my blades against other swordsman after facing nothing but weaklings"
"Then its settled then" Cyrus said as a smirk appeared on his face "And I bet you already figured a way out of here"
"Yeah I thought up a bunch of plans,though if the stories about you are true then we'll have to wait until the guards take us to the fighting pit before we can put it into motion" Izayami said.
"That's fine I can busy myself" Cyrus said as he started to do one arm upside down push ups.
"Don't do anything funny" A thin man with a lit torch growled as he opened up Cyrus's cell.
"Don't worry I won't" Cyrus said as he did one final push up before the thin man quickly snapped cuffs on him.
"Oi superstar have a look at your opponent for today" A burly man said which made Cyrus turn his head and watch the burly man pull Izayami out of his cell.
Cyrus stared at Izayami and took in his appearance which is that of a man with a lightly tanned skin tone who is standing around 6,1 with a lean muscular build, average spiky and messy black hair with the sides hanging over his ears while his bangs are just above his dark blue eyes.
He is wearing a red kimono with black trims, a white tattered sash keeping it close that reaches his ankles, his right arm and chest being covered by a sleek grey metal gauntlet that is decorated with intricate markings and kanji on the shoulder piece, along with black pants, wooden geta sandals and a red band around his forehead.
"So this what you look like, I expected someone older" Izayami said as he looked Cyrus up and down.
"And you sound younger" Cyrus said as he also finished his inspection of his cell mate.
"Enough yapping its time to fight!" The burly man said as he and the thin man lead Cyrus and Izayami through the hall.
"Now ladies and gentlemen for one time only we are having a battle to the death!" A voice blared from the pitch darkness while Cyrus and Izayami had their cuffs removed "Today's match is a special one as we have a newbie who not only struck the butcher on his first day here but then knocked out the torture twins with a single punch each!"
The crowd roared as a spot light appeared on Cyrus who was rotating his arms before picking up the spiked knuckle dusters.
"It's because of that we are putting him up against the unbeatable and rebellious champion!" The voice yelled in excitement along with the crowd as a spot light appeared on Izayami who was given a simple looking katana.
"Now you two it's time to fight for your life!" The voice shouted as blood stained spikes popped out of the walls while they crowd roars for combat got even more loud.
"So how do you start this plan on of yours?" Cyrus asked as he threw a right punch that Izayami directed away with the blunt side of his katana before following up with a thrust that Cyrus dodged.
"It's a simple plan, first we need to disable the spot lights then use the spikes to reach the announcer booth before finding out where they have my swords" Izayami said as he did a left roundhouse kick that Cyrus ducked underneath and attempted to sweep his legs out from under him but missed as he back flipped away.
"Easy leave it to me" Cyrus said as Izayami rushed forward and quickly swung at Cyrus making him hop back and quickly dash forward the moment his feet touched the ground which caught Izayami off guard as he barely managed to block Cyrus's punch.
"You have something up your sleeve?" Izayami asked he defended against Cyrus's volley of kicks.
"Yeah just give me some space" Cyrus said as Izayami pushed him back before they stared at each other and grinned.
"And what an amazing start ladies and gentlemen as the newbie shows that beating the torture twins wasn't a fluke as he's actually holding his own against the champion!" The voice said with interest as the crowd roared even louder "If you haven't already place your bets now since this will be a fight to remember"
"Alright lets cut this fight short" Izayami said as he watched Cyrus remove his knuckle dusters and place his hands in his pockets.
"Rankyaku Curved Fangs" Cyrus said as he did a quick right roundhouse then effortlessly used the momentum to follow up with an even faster roundhouse kick sending two air blades racing towards two spotlights.
Cyrus watched with a grin as the spot lights in front of him got sliced apart as the air blades curved mid air and began to slice through all the remaining spotlights plunging the area into darkness.
"What's this everything has gone dark!, Damn it someone turn the lights on!" The voice yelled in anger as Cyrus felt a hand on his shoulder as his eyes soon adjusted to the darkness and saw Izayami.
"Good you can see lets go" Izayami said as he and Cyrus sprinted towards the side and used the spikes as steps to help leapt towards the announcer booth where a short man is currently yelling into a den den mushi.
Cyrus cocked his right fist back and quickly slammed it against the large window which gain small cracks making the announcer smirk before the glass shattered which turned that smirk into a look of utter shock as Cyrus kicked him in the chin sending him flying from his leather chair.
"Ittoryu, Bite of the Thunder Tiger!" The announcer heard as he got up and screamed in fear as he saw dark purple tiger with lightning blue stripes leaping towards him before it sunk its teeth into his left shoulder and pin him against the wall.
The announcer shook and muttered prayers as he locked eyes with the tiger that faded away to reveal Izayami's glaring face and the sword that sliced deep into his shoulder.
"Tell me where Jack's room is!?" Izayami demanded as he locked eyes with the short man who stared at him with a look of utter fear and rapidly nodded his head with tears and snot running down his face.
"A-Alright I'll talk he's on the fourth floor with double doors that has skulls on it, you can't miss it" The announcer said which made Izayami smile.
"Good I'll let you keep the sword" Izayami said as he punched the announcer straight in his face which broke his nose as he passed out.
"How you know Jack has your swords and not someone else?" Cyrus asked as Izayami released the sword letting the announcer drop to the ground.
"Because he said that he liked them after he cuffed me so unless he sold them to a merchant he still has them" Izayami said as Cyrus simply nodded his head before alarms rang out "Looks like they know we're gone, lets get my swords and finish this"
"Wait!" Cyrus shouted as he slammed his hand down on a red button "Now we can go"
"What did you just pressed" Izayami asked as Cyrus just formed a large grin.
"I opened the other cells" Cyrus said before a loud explosion shook the room they are in while screams of terror and panic could be heard "I though it would make a good distraction"
"Good it means we'll have less people to fight" Izayami said as he opened the door and stared at a large group of men and woman wielding guns, swords and other weapons.
"They're the ones who released the fighters!, Get them!" A overweight man shouted as he and the group rushed the two of them.
"Or maybe we have more to fight" Izayami said as he saw Cyrus punch the overweight man straight in his throat making him gasp and sputter in pain leaving him open to a straight kick to the gut which sent him flying back into a group of woman who let out weak groans of pain.
"Which is a great thing since I get to see how you fight multiply people" Cyrus said as he watched Izayami side step a woman's sword slash and send a swift uppercut to her chin which knocked her out before snatching her sword and using it to quickly cut down a group of men before they could fire at him.
Cyrus and Izayami smirked as they fought through the group sending them flying into the walls or collapsing with bruises and cuts.
A man cried in pain as Cyrus just broke his right arm before following up with another punch to his face sending him flying back while Izayami quickly sliced two women down before leaping over Cyrus and stabbing a muscular man in his chest as he tried to shoot him in the back of the head.
"This is it" Izayami said as he and Cyrus stood outside a double doors with skulls on them.
"Yeah, do you want to knock or should I?" Cyrus asked which made Izayami shake his head.
"Go ahead and knock" Izayami said which made Cyrus grin as he raced towards the door and slam his right boot straight in the center of the doors which swung them open with a loud bang.
"Huh he's not here" Cyrus said as he glanced around the room a well made office with no Jack inside.
"We can find him after we get my sword" Izayami said as he tossed the stolen sword away.
"Got it lets trash this place" Cyrus said with a fierce grin as he and Izayami began to throw bookshelves and paintings down, knocked over filing cabinets and toss his desk out the window before they both stood in front of a large keypad safe.
"Do you have any idea what the code might be?" Cyrus asked as Izayami let out a frustrated sigh.
"No and no one talked about around my cell" Izayami said before he spun around and made his way to the door "Come on lets see if we can find Jack"
"Wait let me try something" Cyrus said making Izayami stop and turn back to see him form a claw with his right hand.
"Shigan Fierce Claw!" Cyrus said as he quickly shot his right hand forward which pierced through the steel door. Cyrus smirked when he saw Izayami's eyes widen before yanking his arm back which ripped the safe door off with the sound of metal breaking and twisting apart.
"Let me say thanks for not using that attack on me" Izayami muttered with an impressed look on his face as Cyrus threw the safe at the wall and nodded his head before stepping to the side allowing Izayami to take out two katanas in pitch black sheaths and white markings on it.
One of the katanas has a dark orange handle with a square golden hand guard while the other katana has a dark blue handle with no hand guard.
"Those are some fancy swords, I can see why you didn't want to leave without them" Cyrus said as he watched Izayami attached his katanas to either side of his waist and smile.
"Yeah the one with the dark blue handle is called Raikiri and has been pass down my family for generations" Izayami said as he patted his dark blue sword.
"While the other blade is called Katen which has been at my side since the day my father taught me how the wield a sword so they are special"
"Alright now that you have your weapons you ready to kick some ass?" Cyrus asked as Izayami just grinned.
"Of course, lets free this Island" Izayami said as they both raced out of the room.
Cyrus and Izayami exited the arena along with some of the escaped pit fighters who scattered down different streets.
Though one of the pit fighters collapsed with blood spurting out of his shoulder along with a loud bang making everyone else stop and stare at an army of men and woman wearing leather jackets and pointing guns while Jack, Maria and a tall burly biker looking man with grey hair stood in front of them.
But what made Cyrus glare was that the burly man was holding Alex and Mary in his huge hands while Maria was holding pistols against Anna and Mike's heads.
"Not one step closer other wise something bad might happen" Jack said as the large burly man tightened his grip making Mary and Alex let out a choked pain filled gasp while the ponytail woman pulled the triggers making her guns click and the two children flinch and whimper.
"So Jack this is the person who you was talking about?, the one who assaulted you and knocked out my men" The large burly man asked as he stared at Cyrus.
"Yes sir he's the one and as I expected the champion would work together to escape" Jack said as he stared at Izayami and the swords on his waist "And it seems he found his weapons"
"Which means I can finally cut you down like the dog you are are" Izayami said as he narrowed his eyes and placed his hands on the hilts of his blades.
"Hey" Cyrus said with anger clear in his voice drawing everyone's attention "Release them now"
"Cyrus" Alex wheezed as she saw the angered look on his face before remembering when he was smiling and laughing.
He's acting a lot different from when we was talking in the cells and fighting in the arena Izayami thought as he glanced at Cyrus and could tell from his tense stature and slight bent knees that he was ready to move.
The burly man didn't say anything as he stared at Cyrus before glancing behind him and widened his eyes as he saw the look of utter fear on the men and woman's faces and Maria whose arms where shaking.
"Alright we'll let them go" The burly man said as he released his grip on Alex and Mary making them flop on the ground "Maria lower you guns"
"Y-Yes Mr Hajime" Mary said as she lowered the guns allowing Anna and Mike to run over to Alex and Mary before they moved to the side with the rest of the civilians and pit fighters.
"Good now to make sure your underlings don't get any bright ideas" Cyrus said with a serious tone in his voice as he blitzed out of everyone's line of sight before loud thuds could be heard making everyone turn to see the leather wearing men and women howling out as their limbs are bent and broken.
Cyrus lowered his fists and narrowed his eyes as he glared at Jack, Maria and Hajime.
"He's so fast I couldn't keep up!" An old man muttered as he and everyone else murmured to themselves as they stared at Cyrus.
"Oi Izayami take care of Jack and Maria kill them, keep them alive I don't care just don't get involved when you're done" Cyrus ordered as he glanced at Izayami who nodded his head.
"Understood Captain" Izayami said with a serious tone as he drew his dark blue handle katana out which allowed everyone to see that the blade is giving of a bluish electric color whenever it catches the sun rays.
"Keep my hat safe I don't want it getting torn" Cyrus said as he threw his strawhat to Anna and flashed her a smile that was filled with warmth making her smile and hold it tightly.
Jack sneered and took out his cleaver while Maria aimed her pistols at Izayami. Cyrus didn't say anything as he rushed towards Hajime who ripped off his leather jacket leaving him a black tight short sleeved shirt as he cocked back his huge left arm.
"Come on you bastard!, Ten Ton Cannon!" Hajime roared as he shot his fist forward which flew over Cyrus's head as he seamlessly ducked underneath the massive fist before ramming his fist deep into his stomach making him spew out spit and blood.
H-How strong is this guy!? Hajime thought as Cyrus continued with more solid punches to his gut making him spew up more blood and saliva. Once he landed the tenth punch Hajime skidded back from the force and dropped to his knees making the civilians murmur to themselves as hop flashed in their eyes.
"T-Take this Twenty Ton Uppercut!" Hajime growled as he waited for Cyrus to rush into range before dashing forward and quickly shooting his left fist upwards. Cyrus simply crossed his arms and jumped up taking the full attack and allowing it to send him flying back.
"Geppo" Cyrus growled as he uncrossed his arms and did a back flipped before kicking off the air and shooting himself towards a shocked Hajime "Arrow Kick!"
Hajime quickly brought his arms up but let out a grunt of pain as Cyrus's left boot forced his arms apart and slammed into his face.
Everyone watching let out a gasp of shock as they watched Hajime be flung off his feet and soar through the air before slamming head first into a building that dented on impact.
Cyrus glanced at Izayami who is currently fighting with Jack before he rushed towards Hajime who hit the ground with a thud.
Izayami narrowed his eyes as he turned his body to the side and watched Jack's sword fly pass and dig into the ground making him growl in annoyance.
Gunshots rang out as Izayami quickly spun around and brought Raikiri straight down as he sliced a bullet cleanly in half and quickly followed up with a flurry of swings to either slice through or deflect the other bullets.
Jack smirked as he tightened his grip and quickly brought his cleaver upwards looking to slice through the distracted swordsman's back but he stared in shock when he saw Izayami holding his sword in a way which allowed him see behind him and successfully evade the sneak attack by leaning forward and twisting around while bringing his sword down in a flash.
Everyone was surprised to see blood squirt out of Jack's right shoulder as he clutched it and stumbled back.
"Die Tempest Cut!" Jack growled as he quickly placed both hands on his weapon and swung down with all his might sending out a wave of compressed air that sliced through the ground as it rushed towards Izayami who was hopping back to stay one step ahead of the air blade.
"Ittoryu, Full Moon Rotation" Izayami said as he tightened his grip on Raikiri and blocked Jack's air blade before he rotated his body and swung his sword outwards which sent Jack's wave of air back at him with even more speed.
Jack brought the flat side of his cleaver in front of him and blocked his own air blade which sent him crashing through a nearby buildings window.
"Ittoryu Iai, Raindrop Slash" Izayami said as his sword arm became a blur for a split second as he sheathed Raikiri which made everyone look on in stunned silence as the red iron building was suddenly cut into sharp long pieces which rained down on Jack.
Maria glanced at the now destroyed red building before she glared at Izayami.
"Damn it Burning Twelve!" Maria shouted as she fired off twelve orange glowing bullets at Izayami making him quickly draw Raikiri in the blink of an eye and swing it around as he cut through the bullets leaving burn marks on the ground and surrounding buildings before blitzing towards her.
"Ittoryu, Sting of the Electric Hornet!" Izayami shouted as he lowered himself to the ground which only increased his speed as he became a blur making Maria's eyes widen as she saw a giant black hornet with dark blue wings racing towards her and buzzed loudly as it readied its stinger that was covered in sparks of lightning.
Before she could even let out a gasp the hornet's stinger already pierced her through the gut making her drop her guns and fall off the stinger.
"You alright Captain?" Izayami asked as he flicked the blood off his katana before glancing at Cyrus who is holding a bloody Hajime by his face who is limp.
"Yeah I'm alright" Cyrus said as he glanced at Izayami who was standing over Maria before turning his gaze other to the rubble where Jack's feet are sticking out. Seeing that made a smirk appear on his face.
"W-We ain't done yet, Maria Jack use it!" Hajime growled as he suddenly went into his pocket and stabbed himself in the chest with a syringe making his torso bulge rapidly as his shirt burst to shreds allowing Cyrus and everyone else to stare at the pulsing veins appearing on his even muscular chest.
Hajime shoved Cyrus making him skid back but he quickly returned and sent a swift punch straight to his stomach which unlike last time didn't sink inwards but stayed firm which confused Cyrus for a second before he followed up with a high kick to the side of the neck which was also firm.
"Now have a taste of my power, Sixty Ton Cannon!" Hajime roared as he decked Cyrus straight across his face sending him rocketing down the street and through four small different color houses.
"Cyrus!" Izayami shouted before he turned back and tightened his grip on his sword as he rushed towards Maria as she was injecting herself with the same syringe.
The red pieces of the building exploded outwards as Jack appeared in front of Maria and blocked Izayami's slash allowing him to get a good look at the pulsing veins running across his sword arm and feel the extra strenght it gave him as he managed to send Izayami skidding back with a single forceful push.
"Lets try that again champion, Maria go first" Jack said with a grin as Maria smirked and aimed her guns and narrowed her eyes making pulsing veins appear.
"Gladly, Burning Twelve!" Maria shouted as her eyes quickly shifted around before she let loose the twelve red hot bullets making Izayami swing his swords and sliced through many bullets though he grunted in pain making him glance down to see bullet holes in his right leg and left arm which he used to hold his sword.
"Now Jack he's all yours" Maria said as she reloaded her guns "Also aim for his injured limbs if you want to cut him down"
"Thanks, lets see how you handle this! Tsunami Slash!" Jack roared as he swung his cleaver straight down sending out a even bigger wave of air that rushed towards him.
Izayami let out a grunt of anger and pain as he moved his left leg back, took his sword into his right hand and blocked the air blade which managed to carry him down the street.
Damn it that ponytail bitch, she actually managed to weaken my movement and combat ability with those shots Izayami thought as he struggled to hold back the giant air blade from cutting him Even this wave of air has more power in it from before, there must be some physical altering drug in those syringes if their leader managed to take those hits without any effect.
Something hard pressed against Izayami's back which instantly stop him from skidding and allow him to focus on pushing the air blade away and into the sky making it slice the top half of a building that is being constructed.
"Thanks for the assist" Izayami said with a smile as he glanced behind him and stared at Cyrus who is dripping blood from his nose.
"Can you still fight?" Cyrus asked as he glanced at the bullet holes in his new crewmate.
"I'm fine just let me do something first" Izayami said as he used Raikiri to dig the steaming bullets out of his leg and arm which made his blood drip down before he cut his sash in half and wrapped up his wounds "Now I'm good"
"Alright then lets destroy this drugged up cowards" Cyrus said with flames of anger burning in his eyes.
"Yes captain" Izayami said with a serious look as he and Cyrus dashed towards Hajime, Jack and Maria who was prepared for their attacks while everyone else watched the fight in silence, slight fear and hope.
And in the next chapter Metal Town comes to an end after an intense battle with Cyrus fighting along side his first Nakama Izayami given to me by Barrett M107 a great dude with great content!
