"The bigger question is why are you guys on a bounty hunters" said Martel
All eyes went wide and looked behind them. They found is now out the bar and a sizzling sound is heard.
BOOM!
The bar itself exploded into pieces. Blast after blast smashed into them drawing blood, but they endured like they endured everything else in life. With another blast the explosion finally started too cease and they all came from the wreckage.
"Life is an explosion" remarked Martel.
A cold hard glare was given too him by Jerome, Dante, and Darrius. "What" asked Martel.
"Now is not the time too be making jokes!" They shouted.
"Jeesh my bad" said Martel.
"Hey!" A woman in her mid thirties, and tall height jumped on one of the near by buildings. Her toxic green hair flew with the wind. She is wearing a black bullet proof vest and army like pants, with the army boots. "I would have gotten lucky if that actually killed you, then again I am never lucky. My name is Marie Kane and I give you two choices, one give up and let me turn you in for the reward. Choice two let me blow you too your grave's"
His fire covered his fist with a dragons smile on Jerome's face. Dante locked and loaded his rifle pointing it towards Marie kane. Darrius presented his yet too be seen weapon a fishing rod and Martel grabbed his double sided axe from his back.
Marie Kane sadistical smile came on her face, she reached for a control pad from her pocket. "I was hoping you would go with choice two" Marie Kane pressed down the button and on command released another explosion.
Boom!
Lee enjoyed his day off sleeping/guarding the Lazy Wolf. He is a half sleeper, he was always awake, but at the same time he is asleep. Five merciful figures stepped on the ship and there heads held high.
The first his a plump man. His wears a curtain as a shirt covering the rest of his lower body, and pants (assuming his wearing them).
All others are dressed in the same attire, that being a pointed red hat and blue cloaks. They also wear red curly shoes with a stick on there waist.
The plump man raised his fist over Lee, later bringing down like a rocket. He had not expected for a sword too pierce and hult his punch. His own blood dripped down from his fist on the polar hat of the man below him. Lee looked up at him with his mutual look of nonchalants.
"Is there something I can help you with sir" asked Lee.
The plump man still tried too over power his sword. He ignored his question feeling that it didn't matter. Lee took a short yawn before standing up while effortlessly pushing the man back as he stood up. Lee looked over at the other four man too his side.
"Is there a reason they are dressed like wizards" Lee asked him. Finishing waking up completely a dark menacing look came too Lee's face.
"What are you smiling at" asked the plump man.
"Nothing" Without the slightest bit of warning, Lee dug his bare hands into the mans chest. He moved his hand around searching for something as if he hadn't already found it. Droplets of blood gashed from his chest just as Lee pulled his heart out.
"Is this yours" darkly asked Lee. The heart still beated back and fourth, the blood spilling not having anywhere to go too. Lee waited for an answer he knew wasn't coming, until his patience gave out. "Oh, well if its not yours than I guess I can do this" He smashed the heart like it was nothing. He came back too reality too see the man is already dead, now he just has the wizards too deal with.
He walked up too them dragging his sword on the ground, shaking fear into the man in front of him. "Did you know when you separate the head from the body the head still lives"
Shortly after that line Lee swiped there heads off clean. Them momentary in the air before hitting the ground. He grabbed one of the heads and placed it by its known body. "Now stitches"
Black form of stitches formed around the body and head attaching both of them. With a pulse he could tell the man was still alive and carried him too the side of the ship. "Now don't disturb my rest again" he dropped the body into the ocean and shortly after went back too sleep.
Crash found a book store with just the books he was looking for. For Luna a book of the powers of griffens and For Cassidy a book on the ability too see aura's. He grabbed a few things for himself and placed all the books on the counter. The old woman at the counter smiled.
"Are you buying all these books by yourself little boy" asked the old woman.
Crash twitching his eye at the statement and remembered Jerome saying something similar when they first meet. "A mam, I am actually eighteen years old" said Crash
"Awww, do you want a cookie" she asked offering a plate of cookies.
Crash opened his mouth too say something, but the granny kept going."Or… YOU CAN HAVE A KNIFE IN THE HEAD!" She slipped out a knife heading directly for his neck. Crash dodged the assault only getting her hair grazed.
Granny twirling the knife in her hand. "Now be a good boy and let me hand you over for that bounty"
"Sorry Granny, but not too day... or any other day for that matter" a popped a sharpened bone from his hand.
The combatants meet together bone agaisnt steel. Neither of them letting down from there fight, from dodging and getting cut. Crash then grabbed her arm and stabbed her with his sharp bone, instead of blood spilling Granny let out of sight like a mirage.
Crash baffled on what just happened. He heard his haki tell him too duck, he did it but it felt like it wasn't needed. He looked from the corner of his eye and saw black hair with a bit of white mixed in.
"I will protect you my love" he heard.
When he finally stood all the way up he could see who it was. She used her sword to guard the hadn't seen her since they left Impel Down and even before they left she declared him his new love interest. The woman that controls spirits Kon. Her appearance is different from before, her hair is shorter for one and instead of the Impel Down uniform. It is now a red jumpsuit.
After forcing the granny through the window she turned around with a happy tone towards Crash. "Hello Crash - love, it has been awhile hasn't it."
Crash love. Was that supposed too be some kind of pet name? After experiencing what he did on Jerome's island he hoped he wasn't dealing with another fan girl.
"Do you like my new style? I thought I should dress in a different way since I left Impel Down" Kon said fidgeting her finger's. "When I saw you in trouble I had too help you, even if you didn't need it… oh! and this is for you" Kon tapped her pants leg and realized she had no pockets. "Never mind I left it on my room"
"Its okay I probably fine without it" said Crash.
Kon grabbed her sword and cut down Granny who was over Crash, but this was another mirage. The real Granny appeared by one of the bookshelves. "Young love is so sweet, I remember a time when I was in love" she told, she even blushed remembering the times.
Kon is blushing herself thought of her and Crash future together. "We can get married and settle down on a nice quiet place where we get the perfect sunset. Eventually we can have one, no two, no five, no twelve babies. We can name some after me, him, my mother, his captain! Everyday after a hard day at work we can all get together and-"
"Then I stabbed him in the throat for cheating on me with a dumb waitress" Granny continued.
Instantly all of Kons dreams died down and she was stuck in a infinite loop of denial. "In the throat, in the throat, in the throat" she repeated.
"Yep that will do it" commented Crash. He stepped back into a fighting stance ready for round two. "You ready Kon"
"Yes I am love" Kon cheered snapping back into reality.
In a cleared out diner Tegami was eating meal after meal. When he came by he saw a sighn that said all you could eat for free and that was more than enough to convince him. His poor table manners disgusted every other customer too leave there meal.
"More for me than" remarked Tegami
"Hey brother is that Tegami Io"
"Your right brother he is Tegami Ino"
Tegami turned around too see a pair of man that looks just alike. They both have scruffy large blonde hair and golden oynx eyes. Orange tank tops and brown pants, they both are bare foot. Both also have two swords on there back.
"Greeting we are" started the first.
"The legendary lion brothers" finished the second. "He is-"
"Timbone" said the first known as Timbone. "And he is-"
"Fang" finished the second known as Fang. "So your bounty-"
"Is are's" finished Timbone
Timbone and Fang both pulled there swords from there backs ready for Tegami. Tegami gave a sharky smile before pulling over his over side sword. This was going too be good.
Tegami jumped over Fang dodging the incoming cut, he then dashed towards Timbone and giving him the perfect uppercut. He then blocked the attack Fang gave from behind with Suzumebachi. As he was preoccupied with Fang, Timbone charged towards him with his sword glowing a golden aura.
"Lions Rush!" Timbone sliced clean through Tegami causing his blood to spill. Brushing it off Tegami reached around and grabbed Fang by the arm, Tegami kicked him his gut sending him hurdling into his brother.
The lion brothers quickly recovered then started running the diner. They can came in with full speed, Tegami blocked all attempts with Suzumebachi, he then sensed Timbone coming in for another slice. Tegami punched him in the face being in the perfect range, "Lions Roar!"
Fang banged his sword with the roar of a lion coming out. "Lions Rush!"
Timbone was coming in for another attack, before he could get close Tegami smashed down his sword shaking the ground beneath them and knocking Timbone off balance. Tegami then quickly rushed towards him with the chance open.
"Shark attack"
In moments time Tegami was behind Timbone who stood there frozen. "This was fun let's do this again sometime" said Tegami.
At the end of that remark Timbones body burst into cuts larger and deeper than the eye could see. Fang stood there angry at what just happened.
"Human Drill" Fang spun towards Tegami in drill form. His moment of greatness was short lived with Tegami giving his final slash.
Tegami looked at his handy work and smirked, yep his still got it. He sat down Suzumebachi and went back too his table for more food.
"Dang it!" Katherine roared.
POW!
POW!
POW!
She is somehow dodging all the bullets being shot from behind her. As she ran she ran she took a left thinking she was just turning a corner, but unexpectedly was trapped in a ally. She turned behind too see bounty hunters with there guns pointed at her.
"Your coming with us princess" demanded one of them.
Katherine put her hands up, but a sly smirk grew on her face. "So your all going too share my bounty" she asked.
"No" Each bounty hunter said. They all then turned too each other cocking there guns.
POW!
POW!
POW!
POW!
Each and everyone of those bounty hunters shot each other and fell too the ground.
"Phew" relieved Katherine. "That was close I should find the others and see if there fine." Katherine stepped over the (presumably) dead bodies. Walking out the ally she saw something glowing blue in the distance, she perked her eyes trying too get a better look. It was working cause she was seeing it better, oh wait … it was getting closer.
She ducked over before the object could hit her. When the thing crashed landed she looked over too see that it was really Jerome.
"Now she going too get it" he said getting up.
"Jerome I have something important … never mind it looks like you already found out" said Kat. "Either that or you got into some random fight again"
"Nope your right, its a bounty hunter Island" corrected Jerome. Instead of moving on Jerome pulled a piece of meat out his pocket.
"NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO START EATING" Katherine shouted.
"Got... cha" he said while eating his meat. Afterwards he dashed off leaving a trail of blue flames behind.
"Your White bears granddaughter, I might get an extra reward" said the hammer head fishman said. Dressed in overalls his name is Sol.
"Going by that logic that would mean im hard to beat" remarked Nora. "Wait did you just call him White bear"
"DON'T CORRECT ME! ,His granddaughter or not you are still a child"
"I'm only fifteen!" Nora called apon the water and small droplets of needles fell from the sky.
"Not just yet" In a blue blur pain erupted in her chest. She was sent flying through a building hitting every possible thing behind her. When she finally crashed she got back up holding her chest in pain.
Sol came forward at break neck speed. "Hammer head smash!" too power up his move he harden his head with haki.
Nora countered blocking it with her sword. A moment of 'what' happened when her sword began too crack. A torrent of water sent her flying back just after her sword snapped apart.
"Come on give me a good work out, grandson of White beard" mocked Sol.
Nora stood up again annoyed. "I am a girl so it is granddaughter" she corrected.
"DON'T CORRECT ME!"
With her sword destroyed Nora had to rely on her devil fruit. Fish man had a simple weakness anyone could take advantage of if they are skilled enough. "Fish man can't breath air when there in water" she thought, she thought.
"Don't announce your plans out loud" said Sol.
"Dang it he heard me" she thought, she thought.
"You did it again!"
"Whatever … Bubble" She called apon the water, forming a bubble of water around Sol's head.
Sol himself found this amusing. "Just because you have this bubble around my head doesn't mean you can get water into it"
"You mean-"
She was derailed by a torrent of water attacking her. Forcibly putting her hand out she controlled the water making a whirlpool in the middle. The whirlpool dragged both them in, with the given chance Nora grabbed his shoulders, she moved in her mouth too breath in his neck (gills).
Bloo sprouted from her mouth from the harden punch in the gut. Becoming more determined she placed her mouth on his neck and breathed in. Sol then suddenly started gasping for air every second before he suddenly passed out.
Nora fell too the ground completely exhausted from the fight. "I did good… I did good grandmother … I mean grandfather."
"Your all going to hell!"
Cassidy slashed her sword creating a piercing red wave cutting apart all of her opponents. She didn't mind her opponents behind her, because all of them suddenly got shot down with arrows. Seiran then appeared next to her almost like a shadow.
"You got too teach me that one day cat man" said Cassidy.
Seiran sweat dropped with the given nick name. "Well its a assassins technique so I might have too train you"
"No way!" Cassidy cut down another enemy. "I already got skeleton in the closet on my back twenty four seven"
Seiran jumped up firing fire arrows in the process. As he came down he pulled three daggers from his pocket. These three daggers then pierced one bounty hunter in the chest. With his extended sense of vision Seiran caught a close glimpse on a tattoo on the man neck, a beastly shadow.
"What!? They all ready found me" he thought.
SWOOSH!
He snapped back in reality too see a cut up man on the ground.
"Cat man get your head in the game" snapped Cassidy
"Yeah sorry" apologized Seiran.
"Airrel ace" Luna cut through a group on bounty hunters in half form.
She looked up too see Travious taking on the man with the huge canon. He was doing well outclassing him in speed and agility. Travious used the mans head as a spring board and jumped back.
"Now" His wolfy grin of came. "Out of the pack attack!" Travious cut through him slicing off his arms, before he fell too the ground his was shot in both sides of his chest.
Luna smiled at the mans excellence. Her mood was then tangled when a rope wrapped around her wing. She turned too the man with a kick, but it was blocked.
"Don't get too rowdy little girl" he said. "I am just helping you, your daddy paid my boss big money too bring you back"
Her eyes widening and time stopped. "Daddy, no anything but him" she mentally cried.
The mans face was then kicked in by Travious. He looked at Luna with worry. "What's wrong did something happen"
Luna went back too normal form and fell down on Travious, she wasn't tired she just had too tell him something. "Travious when I tell you this you have too promise not too tell anyone else"
"I promise I won't tell unless you say otherwise" he said.
"Okay so it all began on my birthday …
…
…
…
"He really did all that" astonished Travious asked.
"Yes now please don't tell anyone" pleaded Luna.
"You have my word… princess"
BAM! Did I just drop a major hint on you or was it just another sweet moment? Writing this chapter was fun. I got too play around a bit and introduce some ideas I had for bounty hunters. Next chapter we wrap up the tag team match of Crash and Kon, This arc, and possibly getting a new crew member in the process. Thanks for the reviews I always get jumpy when I see them. After this I already have something else planned. Since I am so happy at the moment I will tell you it involves Eustass Kid. I am still happy and excited so because I enjoyed reading a fic called "Ask the Straw hats" by Ashlielle. Ask a question too one member of the crew and it will be answered next chapter, but it is a one time thing and any question asked will not effect the storyline.
