Serpent Chain Saga: Volcano Island Arc: Episode 8: Blader's Bounty
(Smoker's POV)
I walked down the plank towards the shore. "Well looks like I'm back to Lougetown."
A tall man with a marine jacket, long messy hair, and silver hands greeted me."Thanks for handling Viper for me. I could have dealt with him but I lost my hands to Mr. 1, luckily there healed now." The man said.
"Your Welcome Captain..." I replied but he interrupted.
"...Silverhands" Said Captain Silverhands. I call myself that now, and so do my marines."
"Now that my hands have healed." He said. "I can go take these prisoners to Impel Down."
"Speaking of the prisoners, what about that guy who beat Viper and Satan." I asked.
"You can call base about them" He said.
Silverhands loaded up the prisoners from my ship onto his. One of the was complaining a lot. "This is not fair, I'm Drill Sergeant Satan." He said.
"Shut up" I replied.
When Silverhands had loaded them, I went to my base and picked up the phone. "Hello, I have some bounties to report."
"Yes" a voice said, that sounded like Garp.
"Garp I would like to report a group of pirates." I said. "Three of the managed to capture Viper and his crew, the fourth one helped them beat Drill Sergeant Satan.
"Do you have pictures of them." Garp asked.
"Yes" I replied. "I can fax them to you."
(Garp's POV)
"This boy Blader and his crew managed to beat Captain Viper and his crew, who all have a collective bounty of 50,000,000."I said putting up the posters of Blader, Runner, Rock-fist, Captain Viper, and all of Viper's crew.
"Then he got a fourth crew member, and beat Drill Sergeant Satan who has a bounty of 20,000,000" I said putting up Froggy, and Drill Sergeant Satan's Posters.
"I believe we should put a 10,000,00 million berri bounty on Blader, Rock-fist, and Runner, and a 5,000,000 one on Froggy. All who agree say aye." I added.
"Aye" said all of the Vice-Admirals.
(Blader's POV)
We were sailing on Captain Viper's ship when the news bird flew by. "Hey look its the news bird" said Runner. "It brings newspaper's and wanted posters."
I paid the money and read the paper. "Cool" I annonced. "That hellish sergeant got his just desserts"
Then I pulled out four posters. "Oh no, these are ours" I said.
"Why don't have a bounty" Archer said.
"That won't be long" I said.
"When do you think bounty hunters will start hunting us" Rock-Fist"
"Right Now!" I yelled pointing to a boat far away.
(Archer's POV)
"Everyone get down below deck" I barked. "These guys are deadly"
"I saw one of them level a revolver, it was Chaser. He fired two shots that both zipped by me. No one else could dream of getting that close, especially from about a mile away. The other guy Trace pulled out a sniper rifle. I heard two shots rang out and I ducked below the railing.
I peeked over the wall with my bow and shot two arrows. The arrows splashed about ten feet from the boat. I ducked again to dodge two revolver shots and one rifle shot. Two more shots fired through the railing but missed me.
I knelled up and shot another arrow which hit the boat but neither of the hunters. Two more revolver shots rang out but missed me by a mile. I did not get it. Chaser was such a good shot.
Suddenly I found out why. The sail fell down and landed on me. I crawled out from beneath the sail leaving a bulge in it. Three shots pierced the sail were they thought I was.
The bounty hunter continued to shot at the sail. While they were distracted, I crawled to the bow of the ship, looked through a hole, and put an arrow in another. I shot an arrow through Trace's scope, but it did not hit the man's eye. I shot at Chaser but he caught the arrow hurting his hands. The bounty hunters sailed away. Probably not for long, but at least they were gone for now. "Come on guys" I shouted to my crew mates.
Blader, Rock-fist, Runner, and Froggy came up from below deck. "Phewph, there gone." "But the sail fell down. Blader pointed out.
"I'll fix it" Said Froggy.
Froggy then tied the ropes back together. He then climbed up the mast and put the sail back up. "There its fixed."
We then sailed northward toward the last island in the chain. We climbed of the boat and walked into the town. "We shouldn't just walk into town" Runner said.
"People here don't arrest pirates unless they are dangerous. We just have to avoid bounty hunters."
"Like those ones" said Archer pointing to the hotel down the road.
We trotted away from the Hotel and, hide behind a house. "Alright we know they stay at the hotel at night." I said.
"We need to know there room number." Runner added.
"I got an idea" said Rock-Fist.
She whispered something into Froggy's ear and he grinned. Rock-fist touched the wall and made a piece of rock the size of a my thumb fall and hit one of them. "Ow" He grunted.
Froggy lashed out his tongue. "He he" He laughed. "I got the number on my tongue."
"What number is it"
"917"
We managed to hid from the hunters until night fell, then we went out and went to the hotel. I walked into the door with Rock-fist and Archer while Runner and Froggy stayed behind. When we got to the door, Rock-fist asked. "Can I punch the door in."
No, just wait for Froggy and Runner to do that."
(Runner's POV)
Me and Froggy went up to the hotel below the room with the hunters. I ran up the wall while Froggy stayed on the ground. I knocked on the window loudly then lied low. Hey weirdo!" Yelled Froggy."
Trace, carrying his large sniper rifle with a machete for a stock appeared. He aimed at Froggy, but before he could shot him, I kicked the man on the back of the head.
"You little brat!" He yelled.
He swung the rifle three times smashing a hole in the window. I leaped threw the window and into the room. Trace opened the door and walked in. He Swung at me again, but I ducked. I kicked Trace in the stomach reeling him. He blocked my second kick with his gun, but the grip broke of the gun and he grabbed it.
(Froggy's POV)
I grappled up to the balconies and into the room with Runner. I grabbed the guns with my tongue and dragged them away from Chaser. He grabbed his knifes and came
at me swinging. I ducked the first swing and zapped backwards to avoid the rest. I hurled backwards and slammed into Trace toppling him forward. "Watch it" Runner yelled.
I knelled on top of Trace and started punching him. He growled and squeezed my arm as firm and painful as an anaconda. I cringed as his knife loomed moved slowly toward my chest.
(Runner's POV)
I kicked Trace in the arm moving the knife away from Froggy. But that did not help much as Trace picked up Froggy and threw him against the wall. Both he and Chaser came at me with their knives stabbing at me. I could not dodge or block all those attacks, so I backed of but ran into the door. "You think you need more reinforcements." They taunted.
"Bad idea telling me that." I said unlocking the door.
(Blader's POV)
"Are you sure it will open" asked Rock-fist.
"It just did" I said as it opened.
Runner and Froggy ran out of the door followed by Trace and Chaser. I made two knives and thrusted at Chaser who blocked with his knives. Chaser tried to stab me but an arrow knocked his knife to the side. Archer shot another arrow at Chaser, but he ducked and lunged at him. Chaser slashed at Archer, who blocked it but got the string cut. Archer blocked a series of blows but Trace swung from behind. Rock-fist grabbed Trace in a headlock, and Runner kicked him in the gut. The two hunters turned and ran away from us. "Come back" Rock-fist yelled.
We all took of after them.
