*Insert long author's note*
Hello, friends! Today, I give you a new chapter of my lovely story. I hope you like it, because I spent time on this thing! However, I'm not telling you how much time.
So, I was listening to like a G6 by Far East Movement, Word up by Korn, Eaten up Inside by Korn, in One Ear by Cage the Elephant, Low Life by Theory of a Deadman, Feel so Numb by Rob Zombie, and Get the Party Started by Pink. I listen to a lot of songs whilst writing things... Sometimes more than you might find necessary.
I feel like I need a DISCLAIMER!
I obviously, do not own One Piece or any of the songs I ever list. If I did, I would be pretty rich... and that would be awesome.
Also, I've decided there might be some blood or gore stuff in here, since I like describing that shiz. Yeah, that's right, I'm weird. Deal with it.
Here yeh go! Enjoy (or not)!
While the marine captain was busy lecturing Akira, who looked incredibly bored, Laila, Artemis, Yukio, and Oura took that chance to attack the other men on board. Laila ran forward with barely a noise, quickly disarming about three men before the marines realized they were being attacked. She aimed for their pressure points, watching them fall like bugs, and even throwing some overboard.
Yukio only brought out one sword, quickening his pace with his devil fruit, moving so fast that the marines' slow eyes couldn't keep up. He sliced them across the torso, and even on their arms and legs, quickly moving on to the next victim.
Artemis was annoyed; they had interrupted her nice afternoon. And for anyone who knew Artemis, they knew that she would be pretty upset about having her own time interrupted. She shot arrows into the marines, kicking them out of her way if they fell towards her.
Oura pulled out twin knives, holding one in each hand. She used her devil's fruit power, the Teleport-Teleport fruit, to appear behind the closest marine, slicing their necks. She would then teleport behind the next closest marine, getting rid of them in a similar fashion. Her devil's fruit allowed her to teleport freely within a mile radius, but the further away she tries to teleport, the more exhausted she gets. So, she usually sticks with teleporting in short distances.
It didn't take long until all the marines were down. The marine captain finally looked up, his eyes going wide when he realized that all his men were defeated already. He scowled to hide his shock, and his nervousness. Akira saw it though.
"That's fine; I'll just deal with you little maggots myself!" He barked, quickly drawing his sword, sliding into a sloppy fighting stance.
"You have a lot of openings." Akira pointed out, drawing one of his own swords.
"That doesn't matter!" He hissed, almost too quickly. "I can still beat you lowlifes!"
"You're awfully confident." Akira observed, sliding into his own stance. "I can fix that!"
He leapt forward, turning into his hybrid form right before their swords met with the loud clash of metal on metal. They were soon forced apart, and the marine captain attacked. Akira dodged every one of his attacks with ease weaving between the blade as it jabbed at his head and torso, jumping backwards when the marine captain slashed at his chest.
"Stop moving, you little prick!" The marine captain shouted, his face turning red.
"Why do you need me to stop moving, if you're so confident you can beat me?" Akira taunted, sticking his tongue out before narrowly dodging a strike aimed for his head. His tail flicked in displeasure.
"Alright, I'm kind of tired of this…" Akira muttered, narrowing his eyes and lunging towards the captain. His sword just barely missed the captain. The man's dodge caused him to stumble backwards, and in turn plunge into the water.
"Well…" Akira began after a moment of staring after the man. "He was clumsy."
It didn't take long for them to get all the marines off of their ship, some corpses and some just unconscious. The rest of the day was relatively uneventful, until they ('They' being Yukio, who had been avoiding Akira since he didn't want to draw Akira like 'one of those French girls.' [1] Though he knew Akira was just messing with him, he wasn't going to take the risk) spotted a new island up ahead. It was relatively late when it was spotted, so they decided to find a place to sleep after they got to the island and found a safe place to keep their ship.
They decided to stay in one group, since it seemed like much less of a hassle to find a hotel and not have to search around town to find everyone else. They got two rooms, one for Akira and Yukio and one for Laila, Artemis and Oura. Artemis dragged Yukio out to go buy some new clothes, since she wanted to try outfitting a guy and decided that it would be easier with Yukio. (Poor Yukio T_T)
Laila took Oura and Akira out to go shopping, and she just knew that they would end up in some sort of trouble with someone.
Oh how right she was.
[1] Oh yes. I went there.
And if you haven't noticed already, Yukio is a bit of an artist! :3 And Akira likes teasing him :D
Still, kinda short but better to update short chapters than none at all!
Hope you liked, and PLEASE for the love of all that is holy to you and your religion, REVIEW!
I love you.
Baii~
