Okay people before I begin I like to thank all of the readers who still read this story and the newest ones a lot but to be honest it's because I just haven't been able to find ex drive to make another chapter.
However I will be honest even if I don't have it still find it and it don't mean that I'm gonna give up on this story cause I'm freaking determined to make something good of this.
Now to all of my readers and the ones who have been reading this recently thank you
( I don't own one piece nor any of its characters I just own my oc's and foes I'm just making my own version of the main anime )
Okay now enough talk lets set the sails!
( now here's the opening that I've been wanting to do for a while which will be opening 4 from one piece Bon Voyage! I was gonna so something else but I changed my mind and depending on how I feel about it I might as well do this possibly every three chapters but the difference is that it'll probably just be version 2 we'll see but then again I might change it )
(As the song begins to play for the beginning of the song a off a younger mark is seen over looking the distance of the sun back at his home ocean moon island. It now shows some trade mark items such as mark's harmonica, Blade Star's swords, Zack holding his black bandana, Korra's bottom with her staff, Ben sleeping away on the beach while Rune is cooking while wearing a revealing apron before marks voice is heard.
Mark: did you know that this vast sea is full of story's and adventures? for me I'm seeking that feeling to be alive and find out my own destiny. but hell ain't this exciting or what?! I can feel all of the adventures and story's to tell out there waiting for us on this vast world cause that's what its all about!
The lryics roll on showing a large black ship sailing with the shots rolling showing the friends and antagonists his mother and fahter Ruby and Scar followed by Silver who gives a thumbs before a large with his crew in the background X Hornet looking at the screen before turning into a human triceratops followed by the staff of the Golden Saint Tyro, Fang along with Solomen Grundy, and Raplh. thereafter close ups of Ryker, Damian and Dagger with the purple salamanders followed by Breaker, Sam, Homer, Job and his crew behind him before it shows a dragon like shadow replacing marks original.)
Bon Voyage! mabushi hikari o mezashite, bokura no KIRAMEKI wa shizumanai taiyou. Youkou hito kakera no yuuki hirogete
(Cuts to show off the crews flag followed by the one piece logo. followed by the crew waving over to the straw hats composed of Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usoup, Chopper and Robin.)
Saishio wa minna BARABARABA ni, egaite ita chilheisen.
( now Mark is running across the beach as a small boy with Zack joining in before both are now grown up continuing to run before Blade Star joins with a grin on his face before Big Ben catches up in the size of hamster before the bear returns to his original size followed by Korra jumping on the bears back with a big smile on her face all heading right to Rune who had a small smile)
ima nara hitsou no bouenkyou de nozokeru, kimi no KOKORO madowasu unmei no shoppai KONPASU. saka te ni kajitoru yo
Clips of everyones past are seen from Mark working with his mother, Zack sailing with Silver after his father died, Blade Star and his brother Brock sparing, Ben as a bear cub under the care of Adam back on Big Island, Korra running the streets of Fishman Island with a bunch of paper before it shows rune morning over a gravestone. Next it shows everyone making their way through rumble valley with determined looks on their faces before they all charge.
Bon Voyage! SHIGARMI mo kako me suetete, bokura nara sore demo waraeteru hazu,
multiple clips of fighting can be seen from Blade facing off against his brother Breaker, Korra bracing herself against Sam in her human hyena form, while both Ben, Zack and Rune along with the employees of the Golden Saint face off against a bunch of enemies.
yume o kanaeru tame no namia naraba
once that was done mark is now seen fighting his way through a horde of enemies before glaring at Ryker who gave off a smug before jumping right toward him creating a sheik wave shaking the ground wich lead to a all out brawl before similar to a fight in dragon ball z.
oshikuwanai PRECIOUS IN MY LIFE OH, yuganda MIRAA ja ashita wa utsunsenai to omotteru ne?
More images are now seen followed by mark now showing off their flag that waged in the air and continued to sail through the seas without a care in the world.
Chapter 22
Blade Star's Prides been hurt-
The Multi Swordsmen's past
Right now the Golden Saint resteraunt was closed for the night but in the basement it was a different story. The owner Takamaru had personally owed them a favor and arranged for their navigator Korra for incase someone tired to attack her. However as of right how the tournament has been put in hold for about three days so the combatants can have a break and catch their breath for the mid finals that would let them train.
The crew were most defiantly in worry for their navigator along with their swordsman BladeStar who couldn't get over his humiliating defeat with his brother Breaker.
However despite what had transpired the previous day mark was glad that he didn't lose any of his crew members and for right now a little peace is just what they needed.
" how you holding up? " mark asked the thresher shark fish woman as he gave her a bowl of soup that contained meat and various vegetables " I'm alright, aside from the scars I'm still alive and also thanks for the meal " she said with her captain nodding and then headed up stairs with and saw Ben looking all depressed.
" what's wrong ben? " the bear gave off a light groan and pointed to korra's room with his paw " your worried about korra aren't you? " the bear nodded and was then petted him.
" she'll be fine. Right now let's make you something to eat " he said before patting the bear on the side and lead it the main dinning room.
Upon arriving their mark instantly noticed that it was silent for example zack was silently counting all of the money he had won so far in the tournament while blade was nowhere to be seen.
He sighed before he tried to start up a conversation with his first mate " I see you've been making a reasonable profit " mark said as he sat down across from the tiger shark fish man.
" well, I've got to make money somehow I mean hell I made over a three hundred million berri just by betting in the fight you had with homer " " really? What else you scored on? " mark inquired with a raised eyebrow in intrist.
" let's see I've made about two hundred million with korra's first fight and for blade I've made six million, so the total that I've made is around 11 hundred million beri's " " that much? "
" hell yeah we've made a lot and so we should be able to have enough money for a ship and with the prize money in the end we'll be set and a five hundred bonus with the boat we got " " cool... " he said before pausing and petted ben and zack spoke up"
" hey mark? " " yeah? " " you notice how blade took the fight? " " mmm, what breaker did to him...was a shock...and in the end it hurt his pride ".
" it did a lot on him and hell he even told me that he's gonna be training so he'll be gone for right now " zack added explaining the reason why he wasn't there and mark completely understood why.
About ten miles away from rumble valley a large bamboo forest came into view
This is the area called the bamboo forest district and hence it's name the forest goes on for miles but for many warriors who seek peace to train this where hey find it. However instead of peace only roars of anger were heard.
Blade was cutting away bamboo sprouts with his red bladed machete Belafore and was wearing no shirt showing off his muscular build body covered in sweat and it was seen in his eyes that he was frustrated over his fight with his brother and the four last words he said still echoed through his mind.
" Your still to weak ".
Blade grit his teeth in anger but soon stopped and fell backward on the ground owning in breath and raised belafore above him that glistened in the moonlight
" even af...after all this time...I still..can't do it... " he paused now looking to the moon as the memory's started to replay itself "...I still can't beat him... "
Memory
Flash Back 17 years ago
Location West Blue
Shenton a very magnificent Japanese and Chinese style landscape that has countless legends in its history speaking of great warriors who travelled the lands searching for a purpose and to make a name for themselves.
However instead of a new warrior coming fourth another great one dies and sadly it is the greatest in all of the land KnifeStar. To many he was a great insperation to younger generations and the only ones to uphold his legacy are his two grandsons Brock and his younger brother Blade.
The two of them inherited their family's sacred eyes while their father did not and for this day on he would be taking charge of the Star clan but for most knifestar was a heavy lost.
Right now the funeral for the great knife wielded had ended and by then everyone had left all except for a small boy looking at his grandfathers gravestone.
Punk BladeStar age 8
Back then blade was defiantly more different for he looked like a younger samurai with his hair tied up in samurai style pony tail and wore a black kimono like a samurai would and had white pants not wearing any shoes.
The boy was still having a hard time accepting that the one person he truly admired was no longer with them for it was hard time for him. He gazed at belafore looking himself threw its reflection as he remembered when he received it.
( hey blade! I got a present for you! ) ( *gasp* but that's your weapon ) ( heh, not anymore it's your now. In fact if you want this can be the beginning for your dream ).
( my dream? ) ( yes! Everyone has one! Once your old enough you'll be able to peruse one of your own )
As he recalled the memory's a stray tear leaked and he was about to wipe it before he felt a hand on his right shoulder and looked up to see an older boy who appeared to be gazing at the grave stone intently.
Brock/Breaker age 11
At this age brock still had short brownish hair and both of his red eyes that were just like blades and wore a dark brown kimono.
" Brother? Is it...is it okay to cry? You know at a time like this " blade asked his older brother returning his focus on their grandfathers gravestone " oh course. It's your right to do so because you loved grandpa as much as I did. Knowing him he'd say there's no same in tears so go ahead " once his brothers words sinked in tears started to stream down blades face with brock shedding his own for the man they both looked up to.
About three hours later the two of them were still trying to accept the fact that knife star wasn't there and to clear their minds they did what they always do.
They were now out in the field honing their skills with blade attacking swiftly with belafore while Brock was just using thick metal gauntlets as his weapon defending him from the sharp edged weapon before he scored a direct hit right in blades stomach making him roll threw the dirt.
" I didn't hit you to hard did I? " brock asked as he approached his little brother and saw that he wasn't there and before long he elbowed the swordsman right in the stomach.
" oh, I guess I didn't then " he said while helping him up and dusted him off " your defiantly getting their that's for sure and your skills with the sword just keep on getting better "
" you think so? " blade asked getting all excited as he put belafore back in its sheath just as brock patted him on the back " hell yeah! "
" Blade! Brock! Dinners ready! " a gentle female voice called out to the young boys getting their attention as they fist bumped one another " alright " " hey how bout a race? " brock suggested as they began to walk with blade answering.
" nah, I don't feel lik- ready set go! " blade exclaimed before pushing his brother aside using it to get a head start with his older brother calling out and started to catch up.
" oh your dead! Currently right now blade is in the lead of Brock, but what's this? Brock is starting to catch up! And there he goes brock passes blade and crosses the finish line! " Brock exclaimed as he jumped three feet right infront of him landing on their front porch and does a victory dance.
" and brock there you have it folks Brock wins with the crowd going wild! *imitating crowd cheering* " now blade catches up along with his breath " you...*pant*...suck " " heheh ".
(Line Break )
The Crews small boat is seen floating across the sea before a wanted poster of mark grinning like a idiot flys in the camera before it switches to a poster of ben sleeping with a huge snot bubble sticking out of his left nostril.
( back to the show. Note this is what the early one piece episodes used to do )
Brock/Breaker age 11
Brock at this time had both of his red eyes and had very short brownish hair while wearing a brown samurai style kimono.
" Brock? Is it...is it really okay to cry at a time like this? " blade asked his older brother as he returned his focus on the stone where there grandfather would remain forever and pas through the realm of the gods.
" it's fine. Reminder what grandfather tells us we are not weapons but instead we are just simple men who are different from the rest. So it's okay, let it all out little brother " once those words were said tears started to pour from blade along with brock.
( in those days. We had each other's backs and we were determined to do good for grandpa. But as the years went on everything slowly began to collapse and then...then it all changed )
time going forward ten years ago
Currently blade was now at the age of 15 and seven years had passed on rather quickly even though it appeared to be a very long time.
At this age blade ditched the traditional clothing and wore a black leather jacket with a white kanji on the back that meant blade along with shorts that made the other warriors displeased do to them wanting to keep their traditions but for blade he was just nothing more but a rebel.
" man this is a really good kill... " blade said as he dragged behind the carcass of a giant snake like monster behind him " ...not only that this'll make some good dinner. Then again we won't be able to eat all of it so where could I give the rest? ".
He paused and began to look around while not letting his grip on the carcass loose and soon enough he found it and grinned " bingo! Time for a little Ramen, so this will be late lunch " he said dragging it to the building.
" hey! Old man! You in there?! " a door opened from the side with an elderly old man coming out " ah, it's just you blade. I take it that you want me to pay for half of that? " he asked pointing to the snake with blade nodding.
Once the deal was made blade revived about a thousand berri along with a three month discount for every meal that the ramen shop's menu.
" thanks again, blade so? Whatcha in the mood for? " he asked as blade out the menu down " I'll have two extra large bowls of the rare serpent and please lots of noodles with grilled onions and chicken "
" heh.. " the old man chucked writing it it down on a piece of paper " you got good taste " " make that four " a voice spoke out getting both of their attention and saw that it was Brock who had just sat down on a stool right next to his little brother.
Currently at this age of 18 brock was much more taller and more fit and had a body that would attract many of their woman that he himself proclaimed much to blades annoyance. His clothes right now was only a pair of black jeens and boots leaving his chest area exposed.
" Got it " the old man said before heading to the kitchen and started to cook while r brothers fist bumped one another " hey bro " " how ya doing blade? " " nothing much just scored a great kill and made a little money along with a two month discount on all the meals on the menu here ".
" how much? " " twenty percent " " that's not bad.. " " while I'm at it how'd it go? " " *groan* I swear dads constantly getting on our asses " blade nodded " hmmm, I feel ya there " the future multi swords men said as the old man brought them their large bowls of ramen containing noodles, deep grilled onions and the meat of the snake he just killed and pieces of chicken to go along with it.
" chow time! " they both said as they broke their chopsticks apart and dug in " oh my god...old man! You make one hell of a bowl of ramen! " blade cried out commenting " good to hear! ".
" plus the meats fresh so it adds more flavor " brock added slurping some noodles and chewing a few pieces of chicken with blade following along as he swallowed it and asked his brother a question.
" so blade? How's that new project you got coming along? " " mmmm? What? " he asked with his mouth full and swallowed the contents. " you know your "Multiple Sword Style"? " .
" oh! That! Yeah it's coming along really good and i used one of the moves to finish that rare serpent " " I see, but blade why are you so insisted and focused on perfecting it? " brock asked as he continued to eat while blade just finished and gave a satisfied sigh.
" well I know about the two sword style but I want to make something of my own and have pride for accomplishing it. Not to mention that I'll be a legend for creating it " blade explained to his older brother who just finished his first bowl.
" That's defiantly an ambition you got there " brock commented and paused as the old man served their second and last bowls of ramen " here ya go boys glad that your enjoying them " the old man said as he left the left the check for them to pay once both brothers were finished.
" but then again it's part of your dream right? " brock inquired as he began to eat the second bowl " yeah, I want to become a legends just like grandpa and more stronger then he is and you too bro " blade said as he began to slurp up some noodles.
The older brother coughed a little bit as he swallowed " whoa...slow down their buck you got a long way to go before you beat me " " you think I'm bullshiting you? " blade asked as he's swallowed the contents in his mouth.
" maybe..." brock said with a sly smile on his face making blade flick a piece of chicken at him but he only ate it instead " that's some good chicken " he said before catching the glare that blade was giving him as he ate.
Before brock spoke he got a decent amount of food in his mouth and chewed away before gulping it down " but blade I don't doubt your abilities you just need to find something that drives ya that's all " " yeah I guess " blade said finishing the rest of his bowl and payed the bill while brock stayed behind and looked to be troubled by something.
Flashback
" Brock...your aware of our ways to become the clan leader correct? " his father spoke up asking him that shocked the young man " you-you can't be serious! " " it must be done if you want to secure your position ".
" I won't do it! I ain't gonna do that to blade! How can you even want either of us to this?! Were flesh and blood! And why in the hell are you even brining it back?! Tell me did grandpa' way's not satisfy you enough?! ".
" what I have with my father is none of your business you will do what must be done "
Flashback end
That night blade was just sound asleep however that all changed once he heard multiple screams coming from the star clans mansion.
" the hell's going on? " he asked himself as he grabbed belafore and headed out.
Blade keot on running threw his home for their were multiple bodies of guards scattered and before long he busted through the door that lead to the main room and was utterly speechless and terrified at the sight that layer down before him.
Large cuts and holes were everywhere and standing right in the middle of it was brock covered in blood and cuts that leaked his own and was standing above their own father with a massive hole in his chest.
" ...no way... " blade couldn't believe it " ...Brock?... " the older brother got his brothers attention and turned around reveling his right eye to be cut and in his hand was a red fruit shaped like an egg.
" blade... " " Brock..what?...what the hell have you done?! " blade demanded an wander from his older brother tightly gripping his machete while brock was giving off an emotionless expression on his face of a stone cold killer.
"...your to young to understand..." " understand what?! Tell me! Make me understand! " "...this man deserved to die... " " but why?! Tell me! Tell me right now! " blade demanded as he dashed forward only for Brock to step aside and chopped him in the neck making him crash to the floor.
" there's many dark secrets that our clan has done. But for why I killed our own father you will and must find out on your own " he said beginning to walk away and took a bite out of the fruit making him reak of disgust before his arms began to glow and died down revealing black Chinese letters.
" so in the mean time train yourself tell your bones crack, and your body. Tell then I will spare you just don't forget that your supposed to kill me ".
Memory Over
Blade then got up and used belafore to get himself up after recalling all of those memory's that he shared with his older brother.
( that day...that fateful day...our lives were never the same. And just like he told me I trained when I heard my bones crack and my body pushed to the limits. And it was only about two years ago that I came to the north blue to hunt you down ) blade spoke to himself as he went over to his other swords.
Out of all the swords he picked one stood out from Belafore, Gyaos and Thrasher a really large sheathed sword stood out the most.
The sword was an Odachi a sword that was a distant cousin to a katana only difference is that they have a much longer blade. The hilt of the sword had a skull decoration on the top with a small ring of beads and as for the sheath it had a jagged black and white pattern.
Blade took a deep breath as he instantly drew the sheath of the sword revealing a five feet black sword with a white streak going up from the tip all the way to the end piece connecting to the hilt.
" hard to believe I uncovered our family's second most valuable treasure. One of the twelve supreme grade swords Naku Shinigami I never really had the balls to use this but if I'm going against him i need to understand your strength and power and three days will be plenty of time " he said before taking swipe of the sword only for a large cut to appear on the ground.
" this thing has so much power...it's my fault for barely using it...but I need this power to fight... " blade said as he raised it above his head " ..if I'm going to survive...I must... " he then brought it down " ...Adapt! " once the sword was brought to the ground it created a giant cut in the ground itself that was well over ten feet.
" so for right now...I'm gonna become a better swordsman and I will protect my crew! ".
To be continued
Next time
while Blade Star is training the rest of the crew prepare for the incoming battles that lie ahead of them and will only learn the truth of Runes past of his sheer anger for Ryker.
On the next Pirates Destiny
The days of truth reveal!
The Rocket Hearts history being told!
Well how'd you all like this chapter? It's defiantly different from what I've done considering that it's a memory chapter
