"A...a pirate ship? Are you sure?!" Yelled Jean to the pirate. "And how do you know it's an enemy?"
"I can see their flag!" Said the other pirate. "The skull had a spiky head on it! That's the mark of the Yangu Pirates!"
"Damn it...those guys, huh?" Cursed Jean under his breath.
"Who are they?" Asked Ado suddenly.
"They've been traveling around the East Blue, pillaging and burning down various villages. Their leader, Captain Yangu, has a bounty of 18,000,000 Beli on his head alone!"
"Re...really?!" Said Ado.
"Yeah, but he's still no match for us!" Said Jean. He drew out his Rapier and held it in the air. "Alight men! This village is our home! We will fight to protect it!"
"YEAH!!! Said all the other pirates, raising their fists in the air in agreement.
-Meanwhile, on the Yangu Pirates' ship-
"Hey, Captain Yangu, I can see people on the island! I think they might be pirates!" Said a pirate on the ship as he rushed to his captain with a telescope. Captain Yangu was a very large, fat, dark-skinned man who looked to be over 8 feet tall and almost 3 feet wide. He wore a big green jacket with black pants. A peculiar thing about him was that on the top of his head there where four large bumps, likely caused by some sort of birth defect.
"Hmm, let me see!" He said. As he grabbed the telescope with his large hands and looked through it.
"They're pirates alright. Hehe, this is going to be interesting. Alright, we'll destroy the village and while we're at it we'll kill those pirates and take their loot!"
-Back on Akasha Town-
"Hey, Jean, can I ask you another question?" Said Ado.
"What?" Said Jean
"Why are you so intent on protecting this island? I know where born here and all, but..."
"It's for the children!" Said Jean.
"The children?" Said Ado, somewhat surprised by the answer.
"That's right! The children represent the future! If they are killed, what will the next generation of pirates be like?!"
Ado smirked. "Hmm, I see..." Suddenly they heard a loud whistling noise. "Hey what's that noise?"
Jean listened, then a look of fear came over him. "Wait a minute, it can't be..." Then there was a large explosion nearby. "They're firing cannons at us?!" Then they heard another one. "Look out!" He screamed but it was too late. The cannonball hit just in front of them, hitting some of the pirates that were desperately trying to escape.
"Damn...THAT BASTARD!" Said Jean. "Pull back for now! We'll wait until they arrive!" With that being said, they scurried into some nearby woods.
"Hmph. They fled." Said Yangu. "Alright, we'll be arriving shortly. Then they, along with the village will be ours.
-1 Hour Later-
"They're arriving on the island!" Reported one of the Jean Pirates, who noticed the Yangu Pirate ship docking on a nearby beach through the binoculars, as the sun was beginning to set.
"Alright! ATTACK!" Said Jean. "Let them feel the wrath of our perished crew mates!"
"AAAAAAH!" Roared the other pirates in agreement as they charged towards the Yangu Pirate ship. However, the Yangu Pirates and charged into the battle as well.
"Take this!" Said Jean as he thrust as Rapier at several Yangu Pirates, all were hits as they collapsed. Meanwhile, Ado was also fighting too.
"Hehe kid, we got you now!" Said one Yangu Pirate as he and several other pirates cornored him.
"Oh, really?" Said Ado, as suddenly he shrunk to a size so small they couldn't see him.
"Hey, were'd he go?" Asked on of the pirates. Suddenly a large gash appeared on his leg, causing him to scream in pain. "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO MY LEG?!" Just then Ado returned to his normal size and knocked him in the back of the head.
"Anyone else want some of this, huh?!" He said angrily.
"Hey, not bad kid!" Said Jean who was fighting nearby.
"I'm just getting warmed up here!" Said Ado, then took out a couple more pirates with his Nodachi.
"OI YOU SCUM! MOVE OUT OF MY WAY!" They heard a large deep voice bellow. They saw large figure pick up some pirates, both Jean and Yangu, as if not having a care and tossed them aside effortlessly, causing him to stand right in front of Jean.
"You must be Yangu, right?" Said Jean with a smirk.
"And you must be Jean, captain of the Jean pirates, right?" Said Yangu. "I've seen your face on a wanted poster before."
"I'm flattered." Said Jean. He then turned to Ado. "Watch Ado This is how a battle between captains is fought!"
"Fool, he will only be watching you die." Said Yangu, taking out a pair of brass knuckles with spikes attached to them and putting them on his hands. "Take THIS!" He then fired a massive punch towards Jean, but Jean timed it perfectly and jump high in the air, landing behind him.
"Jean, let me help too!" Insisted Ado, getting his Nodachi in a battle stance.
"No! You mustn't interfere!" Said Jean. Yangu turned around and fired another punch, but Jean was able to avoid this one as well.
"Why the hell not?" Asked Ado angrily, wanting to get a piece of the action.
Jean simply closed his eyes and smiled. "You will find out soon."
"Huh?" Thought Ado. "What did he mean by that?"
"Hmph, you think you're so good. You're just cocky!" Yelled Yangu in fury as he fired another punch but Jean jumped in the air again.
"Now it's my turn! Yelled Jean as he pulled out his Rapier. "SPEED THRUST!" With that, while still in mid-air, he fired a various amount of thrusts with his sword at an incredible speed, all hitting Yangu.
"Well, what did you think of that?" Asked Jean as he landed. However, he looked and was horrified to see that all of that only resulted in a few mere scratches. "No way..."
"Hmph, you think you could use that against my superhuman strength body?" Asked Yangu. "IDIOT!!!" With that he fired another massive punch with his spiked brass knuckles, and hit the distracted Jean square in the stomach. A large gush of blood came exploding out of his chest, as his mouth also coughed up a serious amount of blood from his mouth.
"JEAN!!!" Yelled Ado in agony at the sight of his captain's current state.
"Hmph, that's what that bastard gets for underestimating me so much." Said Yangu as Jean fell to the ground. "He was the captain of this ship, the rest are gonna be easy pickings now!"
"WHY YOU!!!!!" Yelled Ado in rage is he grew to almost 25 feet in height. Yangu looked on in shock.
"Wha....What's this?!?!" Said Yangu. "A Devil Fruit?!"
"MULTI SPEED PUNCH!!!!" Yelled Ado in fury as he struck Yangu across the face with his fist, damaging him severely.
"Wha...how could you damage me..." Said Yangu, but before he could say more he was blasted with another flurry of punches.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" Screamed Ado has he continued to mercilessly beat beat down Yangu into the ground. When the fists finally stopped flying, Yangu collapsed onto the ground, now just a big bloody mess, as Ado stood over him, panting.
"Jean!" He said as he suddenly returned to his normal size and rushed towards his captain. "Jean, hold on! You're going to be fine!"
Jean weakly opened his eyes. "No....this is my destiny.....I will die here...."
"What're you talking about, man? You gotta live!" Pleaded Ado.
"Listen, Ado, I need to *hack* tell you something...." Said Jean, coughing up some more. "A long time ago....before I even came here....I once met a fortune teller...She told me 'I'll foretell any one thing you want to know'...I didn't believe her at first, but I went with it anyway and asked her how I would die....and you know what she said?"
"I don't care about that!" Said Ado. "We've got to get you to a doctor!"
"No....I already told you it's *hack* too late for that....anyway...she told me 'You will meet a man with an extroadinary destiny and you will aide him on that path, but in the process you shall be killed by a large enemy...."
Ado was shcoked to hear this. "You mean...you fought that dude knowing you would die?!"
"That's right...." Said Jean, who then hacked up some more blood. "And that person with the incredible destiny is you, Ado! I'm sure of it!"
"...me?" Asked Ado.
"That's right....listen, this era of pirates, more pirates like that guy are showing up! It didn't used to be like that! There where some people who just wanted to explore the sea....I'm sure the Pirate King Luffy and Gold Roger before him where like that....to..." With that he started slowly losing consciousness, and his eyes started to close....
"No Jean! You can't die man!" Yelled Ado.
"No...it's okay...I've...done everything...I...want...ed..to..." Muttered Jean in a whisper, as his eyes then closed fully. He had died from a bloody battle, but the look on his face would make it seem if he died peacefully.
-Present Time-
"We won that battle." Said Ado to Vega, finishing up his story. "But with the captain dead among other members, we disbanded, and when the Jean Pirates ceased to exist, it seemed to luck of that town went with it. They had extended periods of both drought and famine, and it turned into the ghost town you see it as today."
"That was an interesting story." Remarked Vega. "So you wish to become Pirate King not just for the fame, but to set a higher standard for pirates. Hmph, I almost respect you more."
"By the way, how much more food we got?" Asked Ado.
Vega looked into both barrels. "About half a barrel left."
"Really." Said Ado. "I've got a bad feeling about that..."
