I never knew how much fun it is to actually punch someone who really deserve it. Heck I've never been in a fight ever, thank to the spirit fruit and god himself I do have some fighting moves implanted into my head. So far the i only had to use my fist three time first and the hippo guy then one of buggy's pirate a few minutes ago and lastly a few second ago Mohji and let me tell you I feel really good punching every single one of them.
"Roland!" I heard Luffy call my name, what was taking him so long?
"Hey Luffy what's up?" I asked.
"Y-You beat Mohji." The spoke in shock, i guess that's understandable the lion was almost the size of a house.
"Yep but the lion wasn't much trouble either really." I looked at the dog before continuing. "I think its best that you get to the shelter boy, as much as i like for you to stay this place isn't going to last long with Buggy still on the island." I went into the store and grabbed one item that would mean the most to him, a food bowl that belonged to his last owner. "Here with this I'm pretty sure you still have an important treasure to hold huh?" ShuShu looked at the bowl for moment taking it in his mouth, as he walked I looked back at the shop one last before I heard the dog bark at me once more. I think he was trying to say thank you.
"Your welcome!" I yelled.
"So what you can understand dogs now?" Zoro asked, I almost forgot he was here because i saved him from being stabbed by Buggy he wont get het by the cannonball buggy's about to fire.
"Not really but his spirit says it all. Hey random question here but did you think I could be good with a sword like you?" I asked. Zoro pondered for minute.
"Depend on what style you want to learn?"
"I think one sword would be enough for me." I had an Idea in the back of my head, but I just needed the right moment to prove this theory. Before I could continue and large blast reached out from the bar, the shockwave of the balst made the us our back, everything in the cannons way was destroyed even the pet shop i saved before, looks like Buggy got more than upset. "Great after all the effort I pulled just to save that shop just for it to get destroyed." I complained. I see the mayor in a fit of rage and sadness as he saw the building destroyed, he went out to go and fight the Buggy s pirates himself but Name wouldn't let him.
"Are you man you'll die?" As much as I wanted him to fight on with us we needed him out of the now. Using my flash step I went behind the mayors and chop him on the neck instantly knocking him out I didn't even know I could do that. "Why did you knock him out?!" Nami asked me.
"Because you were right, he was going to get himself killed but no matter how many time we'll try to talk him out of it he'd rather fight to the death with Buggy then hide in fear, so I thought of easiest way to keep him safe knock him out before he could get killed." I explained. "Beside this town would need the leader and what better leader would be the man that rises up against Buggy the clown?"
"I don't know about you guys but this is staring to become a lot more fun." Although commented I can practically feel he enthusiasm oozing off him.
"Hehe I agreed." Luffy said as he cracks his knuckles.
"Took the words right out of my mouth." I added. Giving a slight smile at the turn out.
"How can you guy smile at moment like this, where are you guys getting this confidence from?" The cat burglar asked.
"Simple really we're more of the stubborn kind can't really stay down even if we wanted to."
"We're going to steal that map again, our destination is the "Grand Line'." Luffy declared.
"And what better way to steal from pirates then from the pirate thief herself. So what do you say partners?" I asked Nami reaching out for a handshake. I already knew answer but I need to play along for now.
"I'm not going to become a pirate." She said she slaps my hand in a lazy manner. "Rather than partner let just say we're cooperating to achieve our goals."
"fair enough, hey Luffy looks like we got a temporary navigation expert." I said.
"Yosha that one more to the crew. Now lets go." Luffy said
"I still can't believe that you did that to the mayor." Nami said dumbfounded, she was still on that?
"It was either let him go and face his death or get knocked out and be safe. Which one would you have choose?" I asked. As we walked toward the bar I can hear Buggy shouting about getting the second Buggy ball ready. I took one deep breath and yelled. "HEY GET DOWN HERE SO WE CAN KICK YOUR ASS!"
"Oh its you, the little boy that wanted to play hero." Hero? Me? I always thought I could be a great pirate, but on the other hand I am with a pirate crew that always saves the world so there's that.
"Hey you huge, red, ugly big nose!" Luffy yelled. I muffled a laughter as Zoro hold a smirk and Nami well she more shocked in terror then in just surprise.
"Fire the Buggy special cannonball!" Well there's the breaking point.
"Are you trying to get your self killed?!" Nami asked frantically, I just stood there waiting for Luffy to take care of it.
"Do you really think that just because of a cannon ball I'll move an inch? Gomu Gomu no Fusen!" At that there moment Luffy's body swelled up like a balloon and like any balloon the cannonball bounced of his body and ricochet to its sender.
"Could've said something sooner." Zoro said feeling a sense of relief on his chest.
"Where the fun in that?" I asked. As the smoke cleared five figure shadowed in the distance. What was strange was I only remember four of them the last this happened. "Looks like we manage to separate the strong from the weak." I said.
"What the hell are you?!" Yelled/asked.
"You know I feel like that's gonna be a thing." I said.
"Well so much for blowing us up." Although commented.
"Alright explain this to me, from the moment you two fought a lion and came back alive." She said pointing to me before going to Luffy. "And you selling up like a balloon just who or what the hell are you guys?"
We both looked at each other before coming up with answer. "Well he's a rubber man and I'm a spirit man." I simply answered. I don't really know how much info she really wanted so I went with a vague answer.
"A rubber man, and Spirit man." She said blankly. Looks like she's taking this well. "What the hell is that suppose to mean!?" Or not. Before I could explain Buggy and the rest of his awaken crew mate appears from the wreckage. Buggy holding two of his crew mate with his disembodied hand as a human shield and the other using the oversize lion as a shield but the new guy was using Mohji as a human shield too, well there goes explaining what we are from buggy.
"It seem like Mohji forgot to mention that the straw hat uses the gum gum devil fruit power. And there's the guy that defeated him so easily." The new guy said. He had a Russian like accent, the man was bulky built had blond hair that was spiked up. He was wearing a black might t-shirt and matching color pants, but what really got me was the bald he'd and the weird JP Morgan mustache. If he was the circus then he'll be the muscle man.
"So let see what we got, the clownish ring leader, the acrobat and the muscle man put them all together and you have a whole circus to show." I said out loud.
"Who are you calling a clown?!" Buggy yelled to me.
"Captain I'd like to fight the white hai red boy." The muscular man asked.
"Alright Gastont teach that boy a lesson on why he shouldn't mess with Buggy's crew." Buggy order. So his name is Gastont I would've thought Bosco or some other Russian name.
"Alright looks like I get my first real fight. 'Bout time to all these other guy can only take one punch when I'm done." I said, I walked up the tall man measuring my chance for a win his upper look more like a super solider but he had to have a weakness.
"Let's get started, just because your only a child does not mean that I'll be merciful to you." Gastont proclaimed.
"I figured that out when you used your crewmates as a human shield." I said to him bitterly.
"Hmph the weak only exist to be used by the strong." He stated. That made me raise an eyebrow at that statement.
"Then I guess your pretty weak too you know not being second in command and all." I said mockingly. I dodged an oncoming punch from the muscle head. Looks like struck a nerve. He hit the ground with tremendous strength, the floor left a cracking imprint of his fist. "Guess we're starting now." I said dodging another punch, the another. I've been dodging punch after punch only to find one opening at his face. I took the shot but my own fist felt like I hit a wall of iron. Before I pulled my fist Gastont grabbed my fist. This is not good.
"What's wrong child, can't get a clean hit?" He asked, my answer was when I used my other fist to punch him but was soon caught by his other hand. I had to act fast so I used my leg and went for his chin. I thought I got a clean hit on that one but, it was same result as my fists. "Would you like to know what they call me?" The muscle head asked me. I didn't answer I just tried to struggled out of his grip. "They called me Gastont the iron muscle, my body is as strong as iron not a single punch has ever hurt me and now you shall see the price you made?"
My body began to swing around like a doll, until he let go, then my body was thrown in to an empty building. I felt two thing that day pain and annoyance for taking it to easy on him. "Ow" was all I said. I heard laughter coming from Gastont and the rest of the crew.
"What wrong child had enough already?" He asked as he chuckled at my hit. What was funny was that I thought that this power was a logia type or at least a paramecia but I felt a lot of pain went I went through that building. I pushed myself out of the wall, I felt a busted rib somewhere but didn't bother searching for it. I had to many thoughts in my head already. "If you surrender now I promise to make your death swift." He gloated.
"Alright, I deserved that, fought three guys and giant lion and thought I would be king of the world, thanks for the wake up call. Now it's my turn." I said smiling, I get into stance and focused my spirit energy on my fist and waited.
"Fool there wont be a turn!" he roared charging at me at high speed, I tighten my left fist as he get close Gastont throws the first punch and I blocked it with my right the second punch come in and I leaned back and narrowly dodged, I spotted my opening.
"Eat this Spirit Gun!" I yelled letting a full power spirit gun at his abdomen, I can already hear the muscle head yelled in pain as he was sent across the opposite side of my position hitting a wall from another building. "Hmph, even hitting you with a full power blast I can still like that I hit a iron wall. I got change that." I said walking back to my crew from the now unconscious Gastont.
"Alright Roland!" Luffy cheered.
"Fool now you'll pay for what you've done to my crewmate." I heard a voice behind me must be from the Buggy s second in command. I try to move but the adrenallen already left my body after my fight, my ribs were really starting to hurt now. Be fore the blade could get any closer Zoro came in and blocked the strike.
"You had your turn kid now it's my turn." Kid? I'm the same age as him. "If its a sword battle we're doing then I'm all for it." I needed gain my distance as we wait for Zoro to beat this Cabage guy. My first real fight against a pirate member and I win not bad for a first day as a pirate
