Metal Town Pt 4
Maria waited as Izayami continued to evade Jack's cleaver before finding an opening and dashing forward while swinging his sword upwards.
Jack grunted as he felt Izayami's sword slash through his sword arm and leave a deep gash before he leapt back prompting Izayami to give chase.
"Viper Shots!" Maria shouted as she saw her opening and fired off a volley of green tinted bullets which made Izayami instantly and spin around before slicing through bullets while dodging at the same time leaving him unharmed.
"I see you finally learned how to deal with my shooting" Maria said as she dashed and holstered her guns and took out two sickles attached together by a chain.
Izayami swung his blade down as she got closer but missed as she leaned out of the way while swinging her right sickle towards his face but he managed to block the attack making the tip of the weapon stop inches away from his left eye.
Izayami forced her back and quickly followed up with a thrust but Maria spun around it and attacked with her left sickle bringing it right down which was about to pierce Izayami's left shoulder but he leapt out of the way making it leave a tare on the side of his kimono.
Izayami dashed in and swung his blade at her with an amazing amount of speed as she managed to dodge while gaining a few cuts in the process. Though when Izayami swung his blade down he was surprised that his weapon stop just before cutting her face as he found himself wrapped up in her chains.
"That's what I call my Python lock which will crush you the more you struggle" Maria said while yanking on the chain which it tighten around his body as he released his katana that also got caught "Or if I give a little pull, now Jack"
"Thanks and now to end your life, Sea King Cut!" Jack shouted as tightened his grip before swinging his cleaver sideways which easily and quickly sliced through the chains and raced towards Izayami's body.
"Raichou Style Electric Zone" Izayami muttered as he closed his eyes while the cleaver cut through a bunch of the chains and was about to cut him in half though he suddenly jumped and twisted his body making the blade fly under him as he landed gracefully.
But what shocked Maria, Jack and everyone watching was the fact that all Izayami did was let out a breath before the chains snapped apart and fell at his feet while he himself was unharmed.
"H-How is that possible!" Jack demanded as Izayami glared at the both of them.
"Anything is possible when you are one with lightning" Izayami said as he stuck his hand out and caught Raikiri by the handle before kicking a small rock into the air "Now watch as your life ends before that pebble hits the ground"
"Die you cocky bastard, Double Venom Slash!" Maria said as dark green liquid dripped from her sickles as she rushed towards Izayami with her weapons ready.
"Ittoryu, Feast of the Thunder Dragon!" Izayami growled as he blitzed forward with a sudden burst of speed which stopped Maria's movement as she saw bright blinding blue electrical sparks flying off Izayami's body.
When she could see again all she could do is stare in utter fear and drop her weapons as a large and long dark purple dragon with glowing yellow eyes flew towards her before roaring and opening its massive mouth revealing razor sharp teeth that slammed shut and swallowed her whole.
Everyone watching was surprised and slightly scared at the fact that after getting sliced across her torso Maria collapsed to the ground started violently shaking and screaming while also clutching at her throat.
"It takes a week for the thunder dragon to fully digest its pray, that's how long you will know pain" Izayami said coldly as he turned his attention to Jack whose face is now full of anger.
"And Raichou Style Static Step" Izayami said as he narrowed his eyes and took one step towards Jack before vanishing making him glance around.
"Ittoryu Iai, Talon of the Lightning Crow"
Jack heard Izayami voice from somewhere just as a dark blue crow suddenly blitzed pass his face and landed on the ground before cawing loudly as it faded into Izayami who is crouching and finished sheathing his blade.
To Jack's utter surprise blood suddenly sprayed out of the three deep cut that appeared on his chest.
"W-What how!?" Jack thought as he stared Izayami who sat down cross legged with his back facing Jack.
"See I beat both of you dogs in a matter of seconds" Izayami said as he pointed to the side allowing everyone to see the small rock he kicked upwards earlier hit the ground.
"Y-You bastard" Jack growled as he collapsed and passed out while his blood began to pool around him.
Izayami watched Hajime roar in anger and tackle Cyrus through multiply buildings.
"Jujutsu Great Lion Toss" Cyrus said as he tightly grabbed Hajime's biceps and leaned back before he pressed his boot into Hajime's stomach and pushed which lifted the large man off his feet while their sudden momentum flipped them over.
Cyrus released his grip on Hajime and skidded to stop before watching as the burly man crash through two buildings though he quickly burst through the debris of a building and tightly grabbed Cyrus by his face.
"Earthquake Slam!" Hajime yelled as he quickly raised his arm before he slammed Cyrus skull into the ground which cracked the ground on impact shocking the civilians at they stared at the damage caused.
"And Ninety Ton Barrage!" Hajime shouted as he rained down punch after punch sending Cyrus's head deeper into the ground with more blood covering his fists each time which shocked the civilians watching.
"Whatever you took increased your muscle mass to the point my hits can't hurt you" Cyrus's calm voice came from the hole as his right hand suddenly shot up and caught Hajime's fist shocking everyone.
"If that's the case then how about I attack your bones instead, Tekkai Gorilla Grip" Cyrus said as he sat up and tighten his grip on Hajime's fist to the point loud cracking and snaps rang out making everyone wince in pain as Hajime's fingers are now twisted and bent in painful places while blood trickles from the fresh cuts made from the pieces of bone sticking out.
"S-Shut up One Hundred Ton Fist!" Hajime growled as he threw a punch with his free hand.
"Tekkai Hammer Head" Cyrus said as he gladly met Hajime's punch with a headbutt which stopped the punch before another loud snapping noise could be heard as Hajime screamed in pain because his arm, hand and fingers were now broken as they was bent and odd angles with bone puncturing the flesh and dripping blood.
"Now Let me show you the difference between us, Geppo Bone Step" Cyrus said with a cold look on his face as he quickly rammed both his feet into Hajime's shins making a cracking noise ring out as the large man cried out in pain.
Hajime fell to his knees as Cyrus skidded back from his attack before flipping onto his feet and walking over to the injured boss.
"Now that you're broken and battered I want you to apologize nice and loud and let everyone here know where they can get their money back if you haven't spent any of it" Cyrus said making Hajime gain some defiance but that was snuffed out when he stared at Jack and Maria defeated.
"I'M SORRY FOR WHAT WE'VE DONE TO ALL OF YOU!" Hajime yelled as tears and snot began to roll down his face shocking everyone while Izayami smirked "YOU CAN GET YOUR MONEY BACK IF YOU GO TO MY MANSION!"
"Good now after you wake up remember this day and start doing your job properly from now on" Cyrus said as before Hajime could say or do anything he held the large man up "Boxing Boulder Breaker!"
Cyrus cocked his left fist back and slammed it directly into Hajime's face making his eyes roll into the back of his head as he was sent tumbling down the street and crashed into a building.
"The rest of you start actually helping these people you sworn to protect and demolish that arena unless you want a serious beat down" Cyrus shouted as the rest of Hajime's crew gained looks off utter terror as they rapidly nodded their heads.
Everything was silent as everyone stared at the battered and beaten corrupted police before turning their gaze towards a grinning Cyrus and smirking Izayami who are standing tall.
The realization that their nightmare is over finally clicked making everyone cheered with tears of joy running down their faces as they swarmed Izayami and Cyrus.
"Come here you two!" Mary shouted with a large smile on her face she pulled Cyrus and Izayami into a bear hug "Thank you for coming here and defeating to those bastards when so many of us tried!"
"Don't mention it they had it coming right, Cyrus?" Izayami asked with a small smile as he glanced at Cyrus who had a dazed look on his face.
"C-Can't breath!" Cyrus groaned as his eye started to roll into the back of his head.
"Heh sorry I forgot my own strength!" Mary said with a hearty laugh as Anna, Alex and Mike helped Cyrus stand up as he took in deep breaths.
"Out of all the injuries we took a hug nearly kills you, I think I joined way to quickly" Izayami said with a laugh as Cyrus gave him a pat on the back making him gasp out in pain and clutched his stomach.
"Are you alright Izayami?" Alex asked with a look of concern on her face as Izayami took a breath and smiled.
"Don't worry it's nothing serious it will heal on it's own" Izayami said as he took a step before dropping down to one knee.
"Quite trying to be the tough guy Izzy, lets get you patched up then we can celebrate at Mary's place!" Cyrus exclaimed with a grin as he threw Izayami's arm over his shoulder and helped him stand.
"Don't call me that" Izayami growled as he glared at the still grinning Cyrus.
"Stop talking or you'll bleed out" Cyrus said as Izayami just glared at his captain.
"Come boys lets get you both healed" An elderly man said with a smile as he held Izayami's sleeve and lead both of them up the street.
"Why me I not even hurt?" Cyrus asked as the old man just shook his head and tapped on Cyrus's nose making him gasp in pain "Besides that"
"You might not be bleeding like this one but those bruises are just as serious and after the beating you took I need to see if you don't have anything broken besides that nose of yours" The old man said with a small smile "Trust me kid I've seen a lot of combat in my day"
"He's right which is embarrassing for you since I was facing two opponents" Izayami said with a smirk as it was Cyrus's turn to glare.
"What how is that embarrassing!, You can't even move your arm or leg, I can still move all my limbs!" Cyrus shouted as he and Izayami glared at each other while sparks clashed.
"Well at least I-" Izayami began to shout before he and then Cyrus suddenly gained tired looks before they collapsed to the ground in a snoring heap.
"Klaus!" Alex shouted in shock as she end everyone else stared at the old man who is holding an empty syringe.
"What?, I couldn't have them two fighting all the way there they was starting to get annoying" Klaus said with a huff as he started to drag Cyrus and Izayami up the street while humming a tune.
"Come on guys lets leave the doc to his work, we got a party to plan" Mary said with a smile as she stared at her daughter, Anna and Mike.
"Oh! can me and Mike make treats?" Anna asked with an excited look on her face while Mike rapidly nodded his head.
"Of course those two are going to need a lot of energy after all that fighting" Alex said with a smile before she turned to a couple of intimidating men with mohawks and piercings "You lot go and get fresh ingredients, lots of booze and get rid of those pieces of trash now or the next time you come into our tavern demanding free things again I'll show you the how the shotgun above the door works"
"Y-Yes ma'am" One of the men stuttered before all of them quickly left leaving Anna, Mike, Mary and anyone else still around to stare at Alex.
"What?" Alex asked with a nervous look on her face "W-Was I too mean"
"Mean is putting it lightly I never seen you stand up for yourself before" Mary asked as she stared at her daughter "Where did that come from?"
"Well after everything that's happen with you loosing your leg because of me, seeing Cyrus stand up for everyone and knowing that it was Izayami who was defying Hajime because of the incident with Nigel I decided it was my turn to show some back bone when it comes to people threatening my family, friends and business with disrespect and violence"
"Oh child your daddy's grinning like a well fed pig from what you just said!" Mary said with a smile as she hugged her daughter tightly making her wince but still smile as she hugged her mom.
"Thanks mom now lets give Cyrus and Izayami the best party ever!" Alex exclaimed with a large smile as she took Mike and Anna's hands before they rushed off towards the tavern while Mary just smiled and followed after them.
Two Days Later
"EVERYONE THREE CHEERS TO THE TOUGH CRAZY BASTARDS THAT FREED US!" A large men with an black eye patch roared as he held his mug in the air getting loud roars and cheers from everyone else raising their mugs along with Anna and Mike holding their glasses of juice.
"And thank you for allowing us to escape that damn arena" A athletic and scarred woman said with a grin as she hugged a lightly bandaged Izayami and gauze wearing Cyrus.
"Of course we couldn't leave without getting everyone out" Cyrus said as he took a swig from his mug "Though what was that explosion we heard?"
"Oh that was couple of us making sure that the place was gone for good by setting their cannon room on fire which quickly spread to their armory and set off the guns powder" The woman said with a laugh which made Izayami smirk.
"That's a smart idea leaving them with the weapons they only had on them" Izayami said as a burly man gave him a strong pat on the back.
"And because we wanted to blow that damn place to hell and all the sick bastards with it!" The burly man yelled getting a victorious roar in return.
"So now that you guys are finally healed where are you going next?" Alex asked as she took a bite out of her well cook and steaming chicken leg.
"That's up to the captain to decide" Izayami said before he slurped up some ramen.
"I want to head to the grand line" Cyrus said before taking a bite out of a quarter pound burger while everyone stared at him.
"Why in gods name do you want to go there!, Its called the pirate graveyard" A thin man said with shock on his face.
"I heard that area of the sea is full of dangerous pirates and creatures" A teenaged boy said making people whisper to themselves but turned their attention back to Cyrus who slammed his mug down.
"I have two reasons why I want to go such a terrible place" Cyrus said as a fierce grin formed on his face "One is because my father is stationed there so I want to test my strength against him and because one piece is somewhere there as well"
"That's good and all that but do you even know how to get to the grand line?" Mary as Cyrus formed a grin full of warmth.
"No but that what makes it an adventure" Cyrus said taking another swig from his mug.
"Since I don't want to waste time getting lost on the high seas, I can get us there since I was born in the grand line" Izayami said as he finished hims meal.
"Really!?" Cyrus said with a large smile as he wrapped his arm around Izayami's neck "You're quickly becoming my favorite nakama!"
"Ain't I your only nakama you damn muscle bound moron!" Izayami growled as he tried to push Cyrus off him.
"Though the rumors are true about the grand line being a place full of dangerous pirates and people" Izayami said as he locked eyes with Cyrus "So if you are serious about heading to the grand line we're going to need more people first since I'm a little rusty when it comes to navigation and there is strenght in numbers after all"
"Alright I understand" Cyrus said with a grin as he unhooked his arm from Izayami's neck "Let's look for more people to join our crew first"
"Good do you have any ideas?" Izayami asked as Cyrus gained a thoughtful look.
"Well since you're not so good at it we need someone who can navigate and someone to cook us food so we don't go hungry" Cyrus said as he chugged the rest of the drink he has in his mug "Then if someone wants to join then we got more nakama"
"Understood now where are those guys who had that sake?" Izayami asked with a smile as he got off the stool and wandered into the joyous crowd.
"I still can't believe it" Mary said as she watched Anna, Cyrus and Mike start an eating contest with a mountain of treats before turning her gaze towards Izayami who is drinking with a small group of men and women.
"Believe what?" Alex asked as she stared at her mom who formed a smile.
"That it's finally over no more handing over our hard earn beil while living in fear of getting our limbs cut off or being sent to that damn arena" Mary said as she wiped away a tear "And it's all because Cyrus got involved with the help of Izayami, I'm just happy"
"I'm happy now we can relax and have fun" Alex said with a pure joyous smile on her face.
"And tomorrow its back to work and hopefully with more customers now that they are gone" Mary said as she took a long swig from her bottle "So lets make the most of this party"
Alex nodded her head before laughing out loud and picking up a punch of tissue as Cyrus, Anna and Mike's faces are covered with different colored frosting and clutching their stomachs while smiling as she heard a loud bang along with cheers making her look to the left to see Izayami having an arm wrestling match with a large overweight man and both are sweating as neither of them are budging.
The Next Day
"Man that was some party I'm glad I came here" Cyrus said with a grin as he untied his boat from the dock while Izayami got in "It was also good of those guys to give us some fuel"
"I'm just surprised that coming here would mean that I'd be a pirate with a martial artist as my captain, help free an Island from a drug using guy and his crew of butchers before drinking a lot of booze in celebration" Izayami said as Cyrus hopped in before he refilled the engine and turned it on sending them away from the Island.
"Say why did you agree to join me?" Cyrus asked as he sat down and stared his swordsman "Why didn't you just kill me or leave the moment you got your swords?"
"Why? because I'm not the type of person to double cross someone which is dishonorable" Izayami said as he formed a grin "Especially when a person is a worthy opponent when it comes to combat"
"Awesome, I'm kinda relieved that you didn't attack me" Cyrus said with a large grin on his face which confused Izayami.
"Why is that?" Izayami asked with a questionable look.
"Because I didn't want to beat you up even after we fought together" Cyrus said as Izayami simply scoffed and formed a small grin of his own.
"Listen once we're both healed up I'll gladly cut you" Izayami said which made Cyrus laugh.
"Good I like having work outs in the morning" Cyrus said with a smile before the broken horned sea king from before rose out of the sea making Izayami quickly grasp his swords.
"Calm down he's a friend of mine, Isn't that right?" Cyrus said the sea king let out a loud happy roar.
"And how did you manage that?" Izayami asked as he stared at the sea king that lowered it's head and licked Cyrus's head.
"He tried to eat me but I kicked his ass now we're friends" Cyrus said as simply he patted the sea king's cheek and turned off the engine "And he's going to take us to a new island, aren't you"
The sea king flicked it's tail and let out another happy roar as a response.
"Alright then as long as he doesn't take us a den of sea kings I won't kill him" Izayami said as he laid down and relaxed "Though I must say you're either completely fearless or just idiotic for fighting a sea king especially one of such size"
"My grandfather said that I'm a mixture of my parent's personality" Cyrus said with a smile as the sea king put the boat on it's back before splashing Cyrus.
"Well seeing as that sea king is treating you like its owner and the fact you like to fight people just to gain access to dangerous places is making me think that getting people to join us will be filled with tough fights" Izayami said which made Cyrus laugh.
"Which is good a thing since I don't want a boring adventure!" Cyrus said as he stood up and quickly climbed up the sea king's long neck before sitting cross legged on it's head "Now full speed to the next island!"
The sea king let out a happy long roar that made small waves form before it began to swim faster making Izayami hang onto the side of the boat with a grin on his face as he stared at Cyrus.
"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"
"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 "So I'll beat anyone who stands in my way especially marines and become the next pirate king"
Izayami heard his and Cyrus's conversation from before making him form a large smile.
"Pirate king huh?, I guess I had no choice but to join after hearing declaration and seeing you in action" Izayami said to himself as he stared at his laughing captain "Oi Captain!"
"Yeah!?" Cyrus yelled back as he stared down at the smiling swordsman.
"Since you want to be the pirate king you should know that having the next greatest swordsman as your first mate means you better not give up on achieving that title" Izayami said which made Cyrus flash his a fierce grin.
"Don't worry I already told you I made a promise and formed a bond so I won't break it no matter what!" Cyrus yelled with his grin growing wider as he adjusted his strawhat while he stared at the rising sun in the distance.
And that's the end of the metal town arc, In the next chapter Izayami and Cyrus meets their navigator.
