Yusei vs Student Council
The last transfered student has arrived. Yusei with a new look. The front half of his hair was red. The moment he revealed himself, it was the moment where change was about to happen.
The arrow was speeding through the dance floor toward the council members. Mihawk was the first to get up from his seat and pull out his mighty sword from underneath the table.
Yusei quickly runs toward the arrow with speed on the dance floor causing crimson fire to flare out from his body.
Mihawk quickly slashed the fire arrow but that wasn't his only target. It was clear to him that Yusei was coming toward him. He added a little more strength to his swipe, for Yusei.
However, to Mihawks surprise, Yusei wanted him to go for him. The instant Yusei got a few inches from Mihawk, he pulled out a sword from his back and covered the blade with Haki.
Once, Mihawks sword clashed with Yusei, a powerful vibration spreads out causing the fire at the sides to vanish. Yusei clenched his teeth and moved a little back from the force of the blow.
"You were able to defend off my attack" Mihawk spoke impressed.
"...the vampire of this academy...a presume…" Yusei replies with a grin and pushed away Mihawks sword that was still moving to him.
Yusei quickly slides his foot, slightly dodging his attack. Mihawk clearly saw the tip of his sword just grace Yusei's torso.
Once, Yusei's sword turned back to normal, it breaks. Though, that didn't matter. His other hand was clenched put unclenched after it threw three mini balls near Mihawks face.
They exploded, causing smoke to appear around the outer part of the dance floor where the council was sitting. The students who weren't affected by the smoke couldn't see what was happening within.
Hina was out from her seat trying to locate Yusei and sustain him. Her eyes were trying to detect his shadow within the smoke. She had to admit, this was interesting. A surprise attack after a great performance.
"Sadly, it has to end" she thought spotting Yusei's shadow in front of her. She reach for him but he leaps. It wasn't until a second that Hina felt a hand grab her head.
The smoke began to disappear revealing Yusei hand standing on Hina's head with a grin on his face.
"Hina….I don't think you will be able to capture me that easily" Yusei spoke looking down at her. "In that dress….I don't think you are capable to fight in...right?"
Hina looks up and notice string falling around her. It was from underneath Yusei's sleeve.
"How does it feel to be the one binded" Yusei said in a cold tone pulling the string up causing it to tighten around Hina quickly.
Yusei hops off and lands behind her while walking backwards. Though it wasn't over. He sensed intense heat coming from his back. He quickly turns while his right arm gets consumed by crimson fire.
Yusei's fist clashed against Ace's fire fist which caused a shock wave of fire coming from the two. They both were staring at each other with a grin.
"Quite the entrance….I thought you wouldn't show up" Ace said adding more force to his fist.
"And miss the chance to fight the council….never" Yusei said not letting him push him back.
"I'm not sure what do you expect from this….but it won't end good for you after" Ace states.
"...Hm...you never know…" Yusei said chuckling. "Sadly, you aren't my target this time….but it would pretty..thrilling….a fight between fire users...one paramecia and the other is logia"
Ace eyes widen causing his fire to disappear from his fist. It wasn't what Yusei said that stopped him. It was what was happening behind Yusei that shocked him and every counsel member.
It wasn't visible at first but once Yusei locked fist with Ace, the streams of fire became visible. The stream was like string made of fire attached from behind Yusei. Where the string leads was difficult because there was a high number of them. Each was close to the students neck.
"He's using them has hostages" Ace thought not sure what he should do. Yusei had his hair shadowing his eyes with a evil grin on his face.
Even Luffy had it near his neck but he was fast asleep. Nami, Zoro, Vivi, Robin, Usopp and Sanji were frozen in their spots fearing what can happen if they moved. Plus, the shock from seeing Yusei after so long was circling in their heads.
However, the most affected person was Kira. She was looking for him and worried about him ever since he left. She had no way of communicating with him. She was jealous of the fact Nami was able to text Luffy.
Now, after seeing Yusei after so long yet couldn't cry from joy. It wasn't even the fact that there was heat near her neck. It was more about the person Yusei had transform too. His grin, his eyes, even his hair. It was signs of someone going insane. "What happened to you?" she thought staring at Yusei.
Yusei covered his right leg in Haki and side kicked Ace into a table on his left. Yusei continued to move forward. He can already feel the intense power coming from his last obstacle that he could not look at his face. Yusei had his head down with a wide grin and stopped moving. There was a wall in front of him that could very well be called a worthy opponent.
"Akainu...the guy with the scary face" Yusei spoke, slowly raising his head to him. "Are you going to attack or let me through-"
It was fast that everyone couldn't react quick enough. Akainu grabbed Yusei's head with one hand and lifted him up from the floor. His face was serious and eyes were intensely glaring at Yusei.
"You think you have the power to control anything do you" Akainu spoke in a cold tone. "I hate your type….what do you think you will accomplish today for doing such an act that will get you expelled and even worse...send you somewhere far away"
"...grr..m-man is your hand getting hot or is it just me" Yusei spoke chuckling feeling his head burning in heat he never felt before.
Akainu's hand was slowly turning red. Yusei grabbed hold on his wrist and covered it with crimson fire but it had no effect on Akainu.
"Seems like...lava is much stronger than fire…" Yusei said smiling, letting go off his wrist. "Then again.."
Yusei grabbed his wrist again and stepped on his stomach. He covered his foot in haki and kicked Akainu straight up under his chin. Akainu was surprised and loosened his grip on Yusei who flipped in the air and landed with his knees bend a little causing him to look at Akainu's stomach. He covered his right arm in crimson fire and smashed it in Akainu's stomach with force that caused his fire to go through Akainu.
"Did he just.." Nami said shaking a little.
"Don't worry...Akainu is a logia type...his body isn't like yours...its made of magma..so hardly anything can't pierce him….except Haki" Sabo states.
"But he had the guts to pierce him" Zoro said gulping.
"It seemed that Yusei.." Robin spoke. "Knew beforehand about the student council and their powers"
Yusei found his hand stuck right in Akainu who was looking down at him with anger. "Guess...i missed" Yusei thought looking down.
"You can't escape from me...you have failed in whatever you were trying to do" Akainu states slowly.
"...it may seem that way but.." Yusei said meet with Akainu's eyes with a grin. "I did make it across"
Akainu didn't understand what he meant at first until he notices everyones reactions. They all were staring at what was behind him. He looked over his shoulder and was surprised to see Yusei's attack pierce right through him like a spear. It reached the end of the wall, creating a small crater.
"Ohoh..wasn't that a little too close" Doflamingo spoke, with his head tilting to his right more.
If doffy hadn't moved his head, it would have been directly on the line of Yusei's attack. It was a complete surprise to Doffy that Yusei dared to attack him. Though, he did enjoy his performance. It was interesting. It kept him smiling this whole time.
"I guess...I can't take on all of the council at once" Yusei said stretching out his free arm, covering it with fire and slicing it down his other arm.
Akainu was cut off guard and didn't realize, Yusei wasn't what he appeared to be. Once his arm was cut, Yusei made a few flips backward until he lands on the stage with only one arm. The other arm was still inside Akainu, slowly melting away.
"H-how where you?..you can't be a logia?" Ace said shocked while getting up.
"Heh...its a trick of mine" Yusei said bowing on stage. "Well this performance is over...I hope this is enough for you….Brook"
"Hohoho" Brook laughs making his way to the dance floor. "When I meant by perform was not to go and cause such a chaotic mess"
"Wait...so you knew about this?" Reiju asked who was seating. She didn't bother to get up and fight since she knew that Yusei couldn't have passed Akainu.
"Yes...sorry that i didn't mention our surprise guest" Brook said bowing to her. "everyone...I want you all to gladly meet the other new transfer student-"
"There isn't a reason to say my name" Yusei spoke with a serious expression. "since...I'm not even here"
Yusei smiles and fire circles around his feet and rising like a tornado, covering Yusei. It soon disperses into mini flares. Everyone started to breath easily since what was near their neck disappeared.
"He's gone" Vivi states.
"Hmm...where is she?" Sabo asked referring to the girl who was singing.
"Who do you mean?" Robin asked.
"Koala...Yusei's accomplice" Sabo states walking away from the group.
"This wasn't what i was suspecting tonight would be" Usopp said.
"Why did he" Nami said clenching her fist. "I don't understand that guy!"
"I don't think we ever did" Sanji spoke, getting off the ground. "Though...I can say..he changed...alot"
"He became stronger" Zoro states. "But, something was off"
"I would never suspect Yusei to sing" Robin said also feeling the same way as the others.
"Your all right" Kira said with a soft chuckle, feeling her headache. "He's different...he almost reminds me of...Slay-"
"Alright...where's Luffy?" Ace said, arriving to their table with Reiju and Pudding.
"Woah...he's here" Usopp said pointing to the sleeping Luffy.
"Well thats good...it makes things easier" Ace said lifting Luffy over his shoulder.
"Hey hey...where are you taking him?" Nami asked worried.
"To find Yusei" Ace answers looking serious and started walking toward the exit.
"How?" Robin asked curious.
"...we have someone" Reiju said with a smile. "With the ability to see through memories"
OOO
Ace brought Luffy into the infirmary. He had him placed on the bed. Reiju and Pudding were also in the room. Nami and the others rushed into the room, wondering what they were going to do with Luffy.
"Hey..you better start telling us what your going to do with Luffy, Ace" Nami said in a serious tone.
"...we are going to find Yusei...by looking through Luffy's memories" Ace explains and looks to Pudding. "Our dear friend..Pudding here as a quite unique power...she is able to pull out memories from one person and can cut a piece a memory out or look through them"
"Wow...can she really do that?" Usopp said impressed.
"You just got more lovelier" Sanji said on one knee next to Pudding.
"Get out of my way" she responds to him and pushes him away.
"So, how does it even work?" Zoro asked.
"Well...first" Pudding said walking to Luffy's side and slides her hand into Luffy's head.
"Aahhghh...what the-" Nami said freaked out.
"That's a way to pick someone's brain" Kira said nervously laughing.
Pudding started to pull her hand out causing a roll of memory to come out from Luffy's mind. She started to walk near the end of the bed and started to stretch the memories. She needed a bigger picture to show everyone else other than herself. However, once she did that, the memory went blank.
"Uh...maybe there isn't anything in Luffy's brain after all" Robin states.
"Shut up" Nami said not liking her joke.
"Hold on" Pudding said touching the screen and started to swipe causing the pictures to appear again.
"...Pudding, can you please show us the memory when Luffy first arrived on Raftel?" Reiju asked.
"Sure...let me see" Pudding said swiping quickly until stopping.
The image showed the point of view of Luffy, viewing the ocean of Raftel.
"..wait a minute...wasn't Luffy found beat up on the beach?" Sanji asked.
"...well he came out from the water..all beat up...this could be what happened after?" Nami states.
"Play it all...Pudding" Ace tells her who nods.
The pictures started to move like a film. Luffy's direction started to move to his right. It was there that surprised everyone.
"Stop it there!" Ace said to her.
"...jeez...I'm not going to do this all day" Pudding said growling and paused the memory.
Yusei was seen looking at the ocean with a small smile. He was wearing a black blazer and his hair was the same like they saw him.
"When exactly is this?" Kira asked Pudding.
"Right when Luffy first arrived" Pudding tells hers.
Nami couldn't believe her eyes. This must have been before Luffy was badly injured. This could be what he was hiding. She started to like Pudding more now.
"Continue" Nami said wanting to see more.
"Ok but I'm not going to pause it anymore!" Pudding said pressing the image again.
Everyone stayed in their spots, feeling nervous and anxious in what they were about to watch.
OOO
Luffy's Pov
This was the day when our training ended. It was a long and difficult few months but we finally reached a level of strength we are proud of. Especially Yusei who was looking at the horizon. He started doing that more recently. I think he looks dumb but even though his mind might be off somewhere, his guard is always up.
"Raftel academy...your able to use your powers right?" Yusei asked, turning to me.
I notice a spark in his eyes when he said that. His expression was calm and collected. But i can tell, he is excited. I laugh and nodded.
"Yup..thats what Ace told me"
"Uh…" Yusei respond and began to walk.
I followed behind and watched him. I know he had something in his mind but I wasn't sure what. Usually, his ideas are wild but fun. I enjoy it even though its a little risky.
"You must be excited" Yusei spoke. "To see everyone again"
"Hell yah...its been so long!" I said raising my fists up in the air, grinning.
"Even Nami…" he said looking over his shoulder. "...who you lost in touch with because...you let your phone fall in water during training"
"..."
I couldn't respond. In my defense, it was Yusei who caused me to drop my phone. I was texting her and he just had to sneak attack me from behind in the shower. I knew my end was set. The meeting with Nami will be my last day on earth and yet.
"...shishi..I can't wait to see her again" I said walking next to him.
I didn't care if she's angry with me. I just want to meet her again and talk to her. There was just something interesting about that girl that I couldn't rub off. The whole time I just had her in my thoughts. Sometimes in my nightmares but that was after the phone incident.
"And you...are you excited to see everyone?" I asked curious since during the time of their training, Yusei never did bring up anyone.
He didn't reply after. Part of me felt like I offended him but then I felt his haki. I stopped walking and saw him walk further from me. My eyes widen a bit when I saw his crimson fire just come out from his back but it was transparent. It kinda looked like a cloak made out of fire just dangling on his back.
"...Possibility…" Yusei finally spoke and raised his hand, showing two fingers. "Two people"
"Only two?" I said confused why not everyone.
I knew who the two were even though he hasn't said it. They were the only two who we both saw as possible rivals. We saw potential in them. The swordsmen and the lover boy.
"Zoro and Sanji" Yusei spoke looking up in the air. "And maybe.."
The last thing was a little faint to hear. Though, I could see him smiling so whoever it was must be another rival. I think but I also believe deep down, he wants to see everyone.
We continued to walk for an hour. During that hour, we explored the city and visit a few spots on interest. Now, we were at the apartment building near the ocean. We stood in front of our doors which was right next to each others. Sadly, it was lock.
"...I think we needed to see Ace for this" Yusei said staring at the door knob.
We arrived a month early than what we told Ace and everyone. We wanted to be a surprise so we didn't tell my brother we arrived yet or saw him. I laughed and Yusei chuckled. This wasn't a big deal anyways. We both didn't have a bed to sleep on during our training.
"We could just sleep on the beach" I said.
"...are you CRAZY!" Yusei yelled at me.
I was shaken wondering why he yelled. I feel he had become more crazy after the training. It was funny at first but there is a moment where he just, becomes insane.
"Sure..sleeping on a branch, dirt, rock, bushes….were fine…" Yusei began in a calm tone. "but...BUT!...THATS BECAUSE THERE WASNT ANYWHERE TO SLEEP LIKE A BED"
I soon heard a click coming from Yusei's door. I saw a little stream of fire disappearing right after. He must have used his power to unlock his door. He had more control of his fire than before like being able to not have it burn things on demand but that's the scary thing. He used that technique or trick on me has a prank. Making me think I was burning but I wasn't then the second time I was.
His apartment was nice but empty. No furniture anywhere. He had a kitchen and a room but I think the best part was the balcony. Yusei slid the door open. Instantly, i felt the cool ocean breeze enter the room.
"Nice view.." Yusei spoke, leaning over the edge watching the waves.
It really was a nice view. I could spend hours watching the waves just run and splash. It was relaxing just hearing the waves. I looked over to the other balcony that was part of my apartment.
"I have a great view too!" I cheered.
"...sadly you can enjoy that but not a bed" Yusei said shaking his head.
"...what do you mean?" I asked tilting my head.
He turned to me and gave me a big grin. Thats when I knew, i was going to be thrown. Which exactly happened right after I figured out. I started to fall to the sand. I made a flip and landed.
"HEY!...WHATS THE BIG IDEA!" I shouted frustrated.
"...there is one bed!" Yusei shouted and smirked.
"YOUR GOING TO LEAVE ME OUT HERE!"
"Ya...exactly" Yusei said snapping his finger. "You gotten smarter Luffy during our trip...proud of you"
Yusei walked back into his apartment. I sighed and scratched my head, wondering what I should do now. There was no other choice from the looks of this situation. I laid on the sand and yawned. It was a long trip to get here so makes sense why Yusei wanted to sleep early. I might just get some too. Hopefully, I don't find any poop on me again.

"..."
"..."
"...wh.."
"Hm...who?"
"...wait...wait..hold on!" Nami shouts shaking her hands. "...is that the same Yusei that we saw or even met?"
"My thoughts exactly" Usopp said confused.
"...did you alter his memory?" Vivi asked Pudding.
"No, this is his memory exactly" she responds.
"...is that's the case" Robin said with her arms crossed. "Why did Yusei seem-"
"Happy" Kira said what she and everyone else was thinking.
The mood behind this Yusei was more foolish than how he was at the party. He was more dark and scary. Something must have happened that changed that and the answer lied in Luffy's memory.
