Chapter 7 New Friends and Family along the way?
A Voyage of adventure to look forward too?
After the exciting duel between Mark and BladeStar ended mark began to cook the sea king meat by sticking them on very large sticks that they got from a tree and celebrated with Zack and their new crewmember. right now there was a massive bond fire with meat cooking next to it and there was mark, zack and blade dancing like there was to tomorrow singing song they just randomly made up a little under the influence except mark who doesn't really drink that much.
" through the gallows they go, drifting through the sea but girl there isn't like the feel of freedom! oh yeah! yeah, yeah!
working on the back roads like theirs no tomorrow! were just drifting and traveling through a small town were letting the sea lead to our destiny! ".
" hey fella's time to eat! " mark called out and the others came over and with that they began to feast on the meat.
" mmm mark I'm telling you this meat is freaking good " zack said eating happily while talking with food in his mouth " hell yeah I second that " Blade said while eating as well.
" hey a little question is BladeStar a nickname or something? " zack was curious " uh uh you see my first name is blade while my last name is star "
" oh okay I get it now " mark exclaimed " eh even if the name is pretty bad ass I prefer to be called Blade for short " blade explained and took a bite of meat then a sip of sake.
" so blade are there other members of your family with names like that? "
" yeah there are but only the ones who have the eyes " after blade said that mark and zack looked at each other and then back to blade " eye's? " they both said totally confused.
blade then took off his sunglasses and pointed to his dark red eyes " these eyes right here " " what about them? " " yeah what is so special about them? "
" well you see I come from a long line of weapon masters there basically warriors who have unnatural human skills when wielding a certain type of weapon such as my skill with the sword, as for these eyes each weapon master is born with them meaning that a new weapon master is born "
" so how does it work the traits of your warrior blood determines what type of weapon you use " mark said trying to understand " no a weapon master has to find the type that they specialize in, for me I found my weapon mastery when I was only six years old and I had a little training with my grandpa " blade said that last part proudly.
" your grandpa huh did you look up to him? " zack said while once again taking a bite of meat off his stick " I did he was also my hero, taught me everything I know and he also had these eyes just like me ".
" what was his name? " " KnifeStar and his name was known far and wide because his weapon of choice was knife, one time he came across a whole armada of pirates and with one swipe of that knife that whole fleet was wiped out in mere seconds "
" whoa that's freaking cool " " not to shabby " mark and zack complemented " so where is he now? " mark asked and blade looked at his machete Barafore and remembered being beside his grandfather as he was dying " you see two years ago grandpa passed away and after that I went and started my adventure to fulfill a dream and promise to grandpa before he died " blade sated both mark and zack were the same traveling to fulfill there dreams as well.
" what's your dream? " mark asked " to become a powerful weapon master just like my grandpa " " were both the same as you blade " zack said as mark took it away " were both on journey to as well to fulfill our dreams as well after all if we didn't we'd regret it for the rest of our lives "
" heh cool " blade said a little happy that they had something in common " plus blade you did lose so you got to keep your end of the bargain " mark reminded blade as he laughed " shit I did well its better to owe you then screw ya, I'm in so what's the name of the crew? "
" umm mark is the captain and he said that he'll figure out right? " zack looked at his friend hoping he did " nope " mark said as he finished the rest of his dinner and zack fell backwards and quickly got up " you moron! you haven't been thinking about it all! "
" pfft I have just haven't come up with the right name yet ".
" Hey by the way blade how come you were hanging around here anyway? " mark was wondering that question and so was zack " yeah that's a good question "
" simple I was training for a tournament " blade stated " what kind of tournament? " mark asked in interest
" every few years the strongest fighters in the north blue father in a test of skill and find out for themselves who is superior and each time the prize is different one time there was an ancient devil fruit, but this time the reward is really simple but it'll come in handy "
" what's the reward? "
" a log pose and twenty thousand jewel " hearing that suddenly made mark excited ( should I go or should I not ) he thought while he creepily chuckled.
" But..." that got both of their attentions " before I honor my promise I need to head over and participate in that tournament and take of something personal "
" I'm find with that " blade looked at him a little surprised " sure we'll go over there and participate, although what do you plan on doing there? " mark wasn't gonna go over there unless it was something that had to be done.
" As I told you about my eyes there proof of a weapon masters blood but there is another besides me, my older brother Brock yet he got rid of his real name and traded it for his pirate name, Breaker ".
" Wait Iron Knuckle Breaker? he's your brother " " huh mark you've heard of him? " " yeah the word is that he's been recruiting really strong people all over the north blue ".
" Yeah that's just about right, you see while I was traveling I heard some rumors that Breaker was heading too the tournament and recruit people who are strong so he'll be entering along with five other members of his crew that help make up the Iron Force Pirates "
" so what your were planning on taking them all on by yourself? " zack said in a amused tone because he was right " not part of the plan but originally if i had to so be it "
" well it's settled then were going to that tournament and we will win " mark declared proudly " uh yeah question where are you gonna go exactly cause you don't know where to go " zack pointed out " oh yeah ".
" you got a map? " blade asked and mark obliged by handing it to him and begun to examine it. " here it is " blade then pointed right where it was on the map " the tournament is taking place on an island called Rumble Valley "
" oh okay cool that's along the way to Aron city " zack exclaimed happy to here there still on their course " why do you want to get to Aron city anyways? "
" we're trying to get there and to a ship then we got one thing to take of before heading to the heading to the Grand Line, now let's get some sleep guys were going to set sail first thing in the morning "
The next day
Just as mark said they woke up bright and early and set their course but before they got to rumble valley mark and zack wanted to stop by Big island since they would be able to explore the island with many possibility's that could happen mark was hoping for a new crew member while zack was pretty much interested in finding treasure as for Blade well he was either hungry like mark, sleeps or he just don't care though he was always thinking of having a rematch because he was holding back. What blade didn't realize is that mark was holding back as well.
over night the three got to know each other and found out they had a lot in common so they instantly became friends just like that.
right now Zack was steering the boat while Mark was playing cards with Blade
" okay I got twenty one " mark said slamming down his hand on the deck " what do you got? " blade looked at his hand " shit sixteen " he said slamming his card hand down. " alright blade deal " mark said and blade started to shuffle the deck of cards " hey mark can the loser switch places? I'm bored as all hell " zack called out
" no problem " mark said as he drew a card and blade smiled evilly cause he knew that this hand was his " ha! in your face I win thirty! " mark then frowned " you four-eyed pile of shit " " actually a pile of shit has a thousand eyes ". After blade said that mark looked at zack and they both just started to laugh " what? what's so funny? what do you got? "
" twenty four " mark said as he continued to laugh " go ahead. Keep laughing I got ya good pal ".
Mark then got up and went over to zack " switch and before you go check around and see if you can find Infant island "
" yeah okay " zack then pulled out his telescope and began to look around. Soon enough there it was " Land ho! guys there it is! " zack yelled out pointing in its direction while mark smiled seeing the island
" Big island our first stop and the beginning of many adventures come hopefully their will be a good adventure on their cause I can see it " " yep I agree " blade said while zack shifted the sails
" come guys let's go already! "
And with that they went to shore and while on the island they found out that most of the island was made up by jungle and a few canyons that traveled to the massive range of mountains that was in the center.
The only complications there was is that the animals were like hybrids of insects like a mixture of mole with a dung battle that just did not look right. But even so the island had a lot of nice views so that was good didn't last long though because they ended being chased by a literal pack of ant-wolves.
right now they managed to lose the pack and we're trying to catch their breaths
" #pant# since when #pant# in the hell do ants chase you? " zack while laying back " well it's just like a wise man said your learn something everything day and see something new everyday " blade said whole taking a drink out of his canteen " yeah but I wonder one thing is there anything normal looking on this dam island! " and unexpectedly mark got what he wished for.
The trio felt the ground shaking and turned around to see it was just a bear that stood over twenty five feet tall and it was only on all fours. It had reddish brown fur making it resemble that of a grizzly bear only this thing was a giant.
The three of them were surprised to see something this big normally a sea king is nothing but this was a different story " whoa..." " that is one big bear " mark said finishing blades sentence. The bear then turned in their direction and tilted its head in confusion
" maybe it's friendly? " sack exclaimed and then the bear released a roar that shook the ground and afterwards mark and blade were glaring at him " shit! "
" that's why you never say that you moron! " blade yelled at him while hitting the side of his head and while that happened mark was already running for his life
" talk later guys! run now! " the bear then charged and that was there q telling them to run like hell.
as they were running for there lives the ground kept shaking as the bear was pursuing them it was destroying everything knocking down down trees destroying rocks just about everything that got in its path
" why the hell are we even running!? we can take this thing down! " blade yelled out as he and zack caught up to mark and we're now running along side him " you wanna fight that bear!? be my dam guest! " " yeah marks right we can't take on that bear it's to big for us to handle! ".
blade turned around his head and saw that the bear was gaining on them " hey maybe we should give it zack!? "
blade said thinking maybe it was after zack because he was a fish man but that only ticked him off " oh fuck you! asshole! I'm a dam tiger shark! ".
the Baer was only getting closer each second and despite this mark had to think of something ( think mark think! ) he then noticed that there was a entrance to a canyon. what was good about it was that it was to narrow for the bear to fit through.
" hey all of you turn right! " mark commanded zack and blade were confused at first but they quickly figured it out. even while running they managed to make a very sharp right turn entering the canyon while the bear couldn't slow down it ended up crashing into the stone.
The trio continued to run until were sure that the danger was gone " did we lose him!? " mark asked and blade turned around and the bear was still going after them only it seemed that the bear was much bigger then before as it was making the narrow canyon wider by destroying the edges " son of bitch he's strong! " blade said answering marks question that he the giant behemoth was still indeed pursuing them.
as the bear was getting closer the trio were running out room where to run and pretty soon ended up hitting a dead end " oh no " mark said realizing that he and his crew were trapped and there was no place left run. the three of them turned around and the bear was slowly approaching them and they had no choice but to fight the beast " no where else to run... " blade said as he drew Belafore and Gyaos " no where else to hide " zack said as he got into a stance along with mark.
The bear stopped right in front of them it stood up on its two and it seemed to increase its size because now it was over fifty feet tall
" here it comes be ready " mark said taking a stance ( normally this is stronger when there's water around me but there are water particles here just not a lot but still better then nothing ) mark thought and the bear then raised one of its paws into the air and began to slam it down
" crap...Multiple Sword Style: Charging Ox! " blade then dashed into the air as an aura of an ox appeared. Blade then intercepted the bears attack with brute force and right now it was a rest of strength that didn't last long as blade was slammed into a wall of stone creating a massive impact crater.
" Blade no! " mark yelled out and disapproved that his friend was dead while and while angered the green scales appeared on mark and his eyes changed into green slits
" your going down smokey! " zack yelled out as he jumped into the air and realized that he's was going to be vulnerable in the mid air because he knew the bear would be able to strike him
" mark give me some cover! " sack yelled out and mark obliged " Shogun shark fist! " mark then punched in the bears direction and immediately the shockwave hitted it making the bear stumble back a bit.
" Try this on for size! Twin Tiger Shark Claw! " zack then swiped both of his claws in the bears direction creating ten blades composed of wind but the beast was smarter then they thought because it swiped it's left claw knocking away zack's attack and formed its right paw into a fist and punched zack into the left side of the canyon walls creating a ruble trail.
Before the bear turned to mark he was gathering the particles of water in the air and formed two orbs of water on both palms of his hands " " Water Bomb x2! " mark then threw both of the water orbs and they both exploded on impact creating two giant surges of water.
In the distance an old man was walking on the top of the canyons just having a nice walk until he heard two explosions and saw the giant bear in the distance " of for the love of god Ben " the man muttered to himself frustrated and started to run in that direction.
Despite being in pain right now zack got up thanks to his sheer will " Water Boosters! " zack then shot forward with two streams of water shooting from under his feet. Using the streams of water to his advantage to get closer tone bear it tried to grab him but he easily maneuvered it " Jet Shark! " zack landed a clean punch right in its face " hey mark! Let's seize this moment to our advantage " blade said while getting and ignoring the fact that he had two broken ribs but that didn't stop him from switching Gyaos and drawing Thrasher then placed the tip of the blade on the ground.
" Multiple Sword Style: Ground Viper! "
" Sea Dragoon Horn Missile! " Mark was then coated a spiral of water and shot forward while Blade spun with his swords in the front creating a flame vortex and an aura of a viper appeared.
the two of them then shot forward and they both hit the bear right in the stomach " Double Serpent Takedown! " with the force of their new combined attack the bear was sent flying back into a rock wall causing a rock slide and burying the giant beast.
" Is he dead yet? " blade said barely able to stand up and was using one of his swords as support
" I'm not sure " zack said sitting down while mark had a bad feeling.
The ground started to shake and the rocks were blown away and the bear was now furious and released a loud roar that actually shook the entire island
" no way after all that it's standing? " zack said in disbelief " dam it I can't freakin move that last technique took the last of my energy " blade said stating truth because he was in no shape to use another technique.
The bears size seemed to increase because now it was over seventy feet tall and it began to charge and while that happened it seemed to be giving off some sort of red energy emitting from its body ( this is no normal animal " guys stay back I got this one "
" what no mark- " zack wasn't able to finish because now he was now charging the bear with both of the palms of his hands glowing bright green and he jumped into the air " I ain't going that easy too Sea Dragoon Dragon Rush! " he crashed both of his hands on the bears head sending his skidding back at least twenty feet while the bears attack did the same exact thing to mark.
( holy crap that thing strong ) zack was in utter disbelief that there an animal this strong existed even if there were this is a clear example of all the unusual creatures their going to see and you never know what they can do.
mark smirked as he glared at the bear while it glared right back at him clearly impressed by how strong this human is.
Before the fight would continue it stopped " Ben! that's enough! "
To be continued
