Chapter 2 of The Gunslinger.

Enjoy!

The stranger turned around and saw Strawhat Luffy running up to him.

"Hey, how would you like to join my crew?" asked Luffy eagerly.

"You're too kind, but I'm afraid I can't," answered Ryoku, "If I join your crew I would putting you and your crew in danger."

"Like I care," said Luffy, "as pirates we are always in danger all the time."

"Luffy, you bastard!" yelled Zoro. Ryoku and Luffy looked and saw the entire crew coming except Nami and Sanji.

"Hey guys, this is Ryoku," said Luffy as he looked around, "Where's Nami and Sanji?"

"There at the bar still paying for our food you stupid idiot!"

"Eh? Is he joining us or what?" asked Ussop.

"We can't let him join, he is to dangerous!" yelled Chopper.

"Of course he is, right?" Luffy elbowed the gunslinger's side to hurry an answer.

"Sorry, you're all to kind, but I must carry my own weight," replied Ryoku.

Soon shouting was heard and the Marines returned with a surprise for Ryoku. Standing in the front was Rob Lucci.

"Lucci!" yelled Ryoku.

"Greetings there you traitorous snake, are you here to join the Strawhats?" asked Lucci.

"No, but since you're here I'm gonna kill you." Ryoku pulled out his guns, while Lucci transformed into his leopard-human hybrid.

Fighting broke out. The Strawhats fought the Marines and Ryoku fought Lucci.

"Still weak as ever I see," said Lucci block one of Ryoku's kicks.

"You haven't seen what I'm really capable of."

"We'll see, Shigan!"

"Soru!"

As Ryoku went to a safe distance he fired his guns, but they only clicked.

"Crap, I'm out of bullets!" thought Ryoku.

"I told you to practice your Shigan, and then you wouldn't have to deal with that, Soru!"

"Shit!"

"Rankyaku!"

"Tekkai!" shouted Ryoku, but even then he flew back a considerable distance. He went behind a boulder and reloaded. Time for my new ammunition I made. He reloaded his guns and got away from Lucci's second Rankyaku at the same time.

"Take this!" shouted Ryoku as he fired his special ammo.

"Tekkai," said Lucci with a smile on his lips, but when the bullets slammed into him it exploded and nullified his Tekkai. "Soru!"

Ryoku was taken by surprise. Lucci appeared behind him and slammed him into the ground.

"If you fire now you'll be done too" said Lucci.

Shit, he's right!

Lucci grabbed Ryoku with his tail. "Die you traitor, Rokuougan!"

"Gomu-gomu No Pistol!" shouted Luffy and punched Lucci in the face, but the Rokuougan hit Ryoku before Lucci flew away. Ryoku and Lucci flew away from each other, Luffy was going to come in and help Ryoku, but was soon taken by his own enemies again.

Ryoku was panting now, he hadn't remembered his mentor being so strong. It doesn't matter now, he won.

"It's over for you Lucci," said Ryoku while holding up a detonator.

Lucci stared at him wide-eyed. He searched all over his body to find the bomb he planted on him, but it was too late.

*Explosion*

"Lucci has fallen!" shouted one of the marines and soon the survivors escaped.

Ryoku blacked out.

That's it for this chapter. R&R
