Chapter 2 A Lucky Unlucky Encounter with the Red Eyes Pirates...
The pristine waters of the North blue shimmered brightly on this early summer morning. Kiely had been on the waters over a week now and she was itching to set foot on land. According to her decent navigational skills she should hit a small island called Chosu. Flying over head was a pelican it swooped down and dropped off a newspaper for her to read as she was accustomed to back on her home island. The headline of the the newspaper Red Eye Pirates headed towards Chosu. What she new about the Red Eye Pirates is that they were a group of pirates that arisen around two or three years ago in the south blue she could only imagine why they would be heading to a small Island like this one. She just hoped if they were there when she got there they would be of no concern to her. She saw the port come into view it was a welcoming sight for the main reason she had been out of food for a day and she missed being on stable ground. She put on her gauntlet and attached her sword on her side deciding not wear the coat it would attract to much attention and prepared to dock the boat.
Once she docked the boat she stepped off and was instantly greeted by a strange man dressed in an equally strange soy bean outfit he was chanting the words " Come one come all down to the ultimately delicious unbeatable world famous restaurant The Soy. This place is home to the one and only world famous Pho..." That last statement peaked Kiely interest, She walked up to the guy to get directions.
"Hey mister where is this great place to get Pho.." The man turned to face her and in this flamboyant display of twirling an arrow and tossing a menu up in the air. " so it is that way I am to assume" The man just stuck the arrow out in great excitement. Kiely was best to find the place on her own this guy was sure no help. Well at least some help he did point her in the right direction. For the most part though the entire town seemed to be built around the restaurant. There was two main roads one went to the restaurant the other went to the other to a rather large residential area. After about five minutes of walking she came along a huge building with a red roof the architecture of the building resembled a traditional restaurant with nice wooden floors and poor lighting it was decorated with antique farming tools among other things. As she walked in she noticed the place was packed well before lunch time she could only imagine how busy this place was during the lunch time. She walked in and sat down at the bar next to two cloaked figures.
A young waitress approached and asked what she would like to drink to which she responded. " Some rum if ya got any and a glass of water please" The waitress bowed and went to get her the drinks she requested this appeared to catch the eye of the cloaked figures beside her. So much so that they asked her a question.
" So what's a pirate doing in parts like this..." The shorter cloaked figured asked earning a quizzical look from Kiely " What's with that look you are amongst friends..." The cloaked figure removed her hood revealing a blonde haired girl with hair down to the middle of her back her bangs were brushed off to the side similar to Kiely but was dyed pink. Her dark blue eyes were surrounded by dark eye shadow to make them stand out more. She puts on a sick smile as Kiely's eyes shoot open and she recognizes where she has seen that face before.
The waitress breaks the tension by placing down the requested drinks and ask " What will you have to eat today" Kiely's eyes still fixated on the famous pirate in front of her face she was in complete and utter shock she was staring down such a dangerous person. The waitress had to repeat herself for Kiely to answer.
"Um... Sorry I'll just have the Pho with flank steak please" The waitress scribbled it down in her book and walked back to the kitchen to place the order. Kiely looked back at the smiling pirate and asked in a whisper " Are you the Apache Huntress Melissa Hawa" She nodded. Kiely grabbed her glass of Rum and took a large gulp of rum... "That's unreal you are part of a legendary crew... but I am still no pirate."
"Sure that is what they all say" The other cloaked figure said " You fit the stereotypes you are tanned from the sea you are drinking rum and most importantly you are armed" He removed his hood revealing his identity. He had a buzzed brown head and unique pale green eyes they were almost translucent by all accounts. He had a scar right above his lip it was clear who this man was "As you already know I am the Fourth General of the Red Eye's Richard Carr but please call me Carr. What is your name Lass."
" Kiely Rumi" She said without thinking her main questions now lied with finding out information about her family as she done so many times before. " Have you seen a couple of Marines man and woman who are travailing the seas on a Canoe or better yet have you seen a group of slavers called the North Blue Trade Industry please it is of vital importance."
Melissa spoke up " It appears you are on a quest eh.. well we might be able to help you there we have fought more than a few battles against marines but I cannot recall any couple in Canoes" She pause and pondered for a moment " but I have heard of a group called the North Blue Trade Industry the best place to search for them would be amongst those snot nosed bastards that call themselves the Celestial Dragons they will get theirs I will kill every single one of them." Melissa paused and slammed her fist on the bar.
Carr put her hand on Melissa shoulder and smiled " You have to forgive her she had a really bad run in with them.. to give you a place to start searching for them I would say Sabaody Archipelago. That's about halfway through the Grand line but you are not a pirate correct."
Kiely nodded " That is correct I am searching for my brother that was snatched away by that group of slavers a few years ago and I was to helpless to do anything about it then so I got stronger and now I will rescue him and send my idiot parents home I have no interest in getting involved in wars between Marines and Pirates I have only one target in mind." She finished off her rum as the waitress sat the streaming bowl of rice noodle soup beside her with a plate of sides ranging from beansprouts to red chili paste.
She went to dig in when Melissa looked back and noticed about twelve Marines walk into the restaurant she turned to Kiely and said "let me help you on your journey". She paused and looked towards Carr they both nodded and pulled their hoods up over their heads and simultaneously screamed "Pirate..Pirate someone help us its a pirate" They both were pointing at Kiely who had stupefied expression on her face and was mouthing some unladylike words.
She turned herself around and saw a fancy dressed marine approaching from the descriptions her parents showed her this man was most likely a Lieutenant. She screamed at them " I am no pirate the idiots have not clue what they are talking about..." She saw the Marines staring at the empty glass of rum and she mentally cursed at the stereotypes " I know what it looks like but I am no pirate. In fact my parents are both Marines"
" Surrender or die pirate scum.. your life has no meaning," Kiely thought the Lieutenant's words were rather harsh. She saw no way to talk her ways out of this situation damn those pirates to think they actually gave her good information only to put her in this situation damn them she cursed as she threw her hot bowl of soup at the Lieutenant causing it to splash in his eyes giving her the chance to escape, " Damn scum after her gut her like a fish."
As the Marines hurried after Kiely the two actual pirates turned towards each other giving each other a high five then left a large tip for the waitress and hurried after the group Carr said "This will surely help her on her journey" Melissa nodded her head in agreement as they casually walked down the streets in the direction that Kiely fled.
"Dammit" She cursed as she hopped over a fruit stand knocking watermelons all over the street. She screamed as she was passing the vendor " I am sorry sir" The vendor found the fact she apologized to be very refreshing until the group of marines ran by squashing several watermelons killing his profit for the day. She turned the corner down the alleyway only to be headed off by Marine reinforcements waiting to capture her. She hesitated for a moment before deciding to charge strait at them. She did and they fired their guns as she approached a bullet zoomed by grazing her check. Shaking off the burning pain she vaulted over one of their shoulders landed cleanly and took off towards the dock.
"Where could she have gone Melissa" Carr asked they noticed a batch of at least twelve more Marines ran fast as they could towards the dock the pirates assumed that is where she ran off too. " I take it she is that way" Melissa slapped Carr in the back of the head for his stupidity and took off after the Marines hoping the girl could handle herself.
Kiely saw the dock in sight and with a host of Marines in pursuit behind her there was not a second wasted she smiled as she saw the comfort of her small ship she was soon to be home free. " Thank God" She proclaimed as she passed out of the city streets into the open dockyard. She assumed she was home free till an extremely pissed off Lieutenant landed in front of her destroying part of the dock a few feet away from Kiely.
" My name is Lieutenant Broadfist and you are hereby under arrest by the Marines do not resist or I will be force to pound you into dust" He finished by holding up his fist revealing brass knuckles. He lowered his ball cap and had a sinister smirk on his face just darning Kiely to make a move. Kiely stood tall now surrounded by at least thirty Marines. The air was so tense she could not breath was she really going to have to fight.
She rushed at the Marine Lieutenant and attempted to slide under his legs and was immediately kicked in her gut sending her tumbling over to the other side of the dock coughing it pain. She stood shakily to her feet and wiped the spit from the side of her mouth she said " I cannot give up yet sorry... nor have a prepare a good funeral song so I can't die yet." Kiely said to Broadfist who eyes went wide at this girl's foolishness. He raised his hands for his group of Marines to go capture her when two cloaked figures appeared in front of the Marines. They removed their cloaks and the Marines stood paralyzed by fear.
" This fight is between those two you will not interfere correct..." Carr said revealing a pair of twin hook swords. " If you do I would be force kill you since Marines are my enemy after all" He gave a confident smirk and stood up to his full height. Melissa remained silent but she had drawn a bow and arrow that had apparently made her a legend as the many Marines' faces turned a ghostly pale. It appears that Kiely's only opponent was this in front of her.
Kiely carefully slid her blade out of its sheath and smiled at the orange stone that was mounted on the hand guard. That stone was found on the her home island and was commonly refereed to as the Norooz Star. She held the blade in her hand and remembered the day which she received the sword from her grandpa. Sighing she hoped she would never have to fight oh well that was wishful thinking now.
She slammed the cutlass into the dock and knelt down with her hands put together as if praying. The Marine Lieutenant eyes widen he knew this style very well in fact his old captain used this style. A moment later she stood up sliding her left hand along the blade slicing it slightly her blade became stained with blood. " Are you ready" She said to the Marine he nodded as his focus intensified he had to concentrate here or he would easily die from this sword style.
He rushed Kiely who at the last second threw up her gauntlet to defend herself from the punch seeing it was going to help much as it felt like her forearm was snapped in pieces from just the first punch she backed flipped away creating a good distance between her and that Marine Lieutenant who was in the process of going berserk. She readied her blade at her side waiting for the man to make his move. He shot at her with increasing speed he was unreal for how big he was. He closed in and she flipped over him landing gracefully and was able to land a nice slash on his shoulder
Kiely had short lived victory as Broadfist tried to back hand her only for her to try and back flip away. Unfortunately as her momentum went backward the Lieutenant caught her by her leg and slung her around slamming her into the dock. The blow was enough to knock the breath from and possibly break a few bones, but what made it worse is it was follwed up by a punch from his giant fist. The impact was met with the sickening sound of ribs cracking.
The resulting blow caused Kiely to cough up blood and she seemingly laid helplessly on the dock as he approached her. He grabbed her by the neck and pulled her up to eye level. That is when her eyes opened wide and she mumbled " Sorry for this... Sacred Blade Style" She held her blade up in between the two and moved her left hand in front of the blade micro silver slashes from the blade was being concentrated in her hand a trait unique to those who could use this technique. The only sign that something was happening was the tiny cuts forming on her hand. When she was finished she screamed as loud as her lungs would allow " Absolve". A huge silver light followed that blinded everyone from what was happening. The Aftermath of the attack ended with Kiely standing supported by her sword and Lieutenant Broadfist lying on his back with a huge cross shape cuts on his chest. Seeing she had won Kiely fell to her knees clinching the wounds from the punch
Melissa rushed over to her and said " I think you killed him" Kiely shook her head as she regained her breath she hoped she did not kill a man. Melissa helped her to her feet and said " I think we should get you bandaged up..." Melissa was the only one of the two girls to laugh from that. The began the short trek to Kiely ship to get her fixed up with Carr closely in tow
As Carr stepped on to the ship he turned to the petrified Marine force and smiled " You will remember this as the day that The Sacred Blade Kiely Rumi herself took down your proud Marine Lieutenant." He gave a slight wave to the Marines and mumbled to himself " Mission accomplished" he stepped on the boat and looked at Kiely and said " You are pirate know congratulation"
"Go fall down a well" She said as she grimaced in pain as Melissa wrapped up the injured ribs " What the Hell were you thinking I don't want to be hunted..." She looked at the two who just turned to her and smiled.
" We really did you a favor you need to go to the Grand Line the most dangerous seas in the world even more so it is home to some truly evil people how do you expect to survive without fighting," Melissa spoke words the Kiely decided after a moment of deliberation it held some truth. " That and you may need some friends to help you defeat said enemies being a pirate provides the means to recruit said friends so all in all I think we did you a favor."
"Maybe" Kiely said contemplating for a moment she asked. So what do I do now I run of course because I am a criminal but beside that" She was trying to make light of the situation despite the fact she was extremely worried she met Marine Admiral Aokiji before his power is monstrous she new she could never take him on.
" Well it had been awhile since I was an up start rookie" Melissa said " It was ten years ago yeah I was eight when I started my crew we did our fair share too, but it was not until I joined the Red Eyes did I truly gain power... I would say you find you a good first mate and go from there... That sounds about right... right Carr..."
" Yea sounds about right oh and come up with a Jolly Roger it will define your will to be a pirate it is crucial." Kiely was having a hard time believing this girl has been a pirate since she was eight and she was still a year or so younger than her. " Hey are you listing" She snapped out of her daze and nodded towards Carr. "That is all you need to do for now and make your way towards the Grand Line." He stood up and looked towards Melissa and said " It is best we be on our way.. Capn' will be waiting if we are late."
" Yea I guess you are right he is a crotchety old man" She looked at Kiely and asked " Will you be okay" She nodded " Well before go how does that last technique of your work."
Kiely smiled sheepishly to the untrained eye this technique was pretty amazing " It is simple really I concentrate slashes from my blade in my hand unleash a more powerful slash that is just the precursor to unleashing the best attacks of the Sacred Blade style" She looked at her blade " The concentrated blast from that manifest itself as a cross hence the name Sacred Blade style" She looked up at the blue sky and smiled " to clear it up more when you swing your sword with enough speed it creates an air slash I am just concentrating them in my hand and unleashing them as a weapon those who are proficient at this style would just leave the blade in the ground at the beginning of the fight"
" That is so awesome" Melissa said. Carr had to admit he was a master of his sword style but he never heard of such a unique way to fight with a sword he saw her left hand and became obvious that this attack had its clear disadvantages. " You are all bandaged up..." Melissa stood up and smiled " I think we will be own our way now.. We will meet again sooner than later" She finished and walked towards the edge of the boat
" Don't die now... I would advise getting stronger as well... later" Carr said trying to sound all cool. They disembarked from the newly deemed pirate ship and made there way back into the city. Kiely walks up to the helm and prepares to pull her ship out of port and back into open seas. As she walks up to the helm she notices a crate of food and a barrel of rum on top of the crate was a steaming hot bowl of Pho sitting beside the bowl was a note the note read.
