here is luck number 6. Just a word I would like to apologise for some of the shoddy editing of the last chapter and i'll try and fix it in the next few days. anyway hope you like this and as always pleases read and review.
Oh yeah someone asked what happened to Johnny and Yosuku or however you spell his name. We'll i'd just like to point out in the manga one was almost dead from scurvy when the strawhats found them. In this story the strawhats left six days after they should have. I'm sure you can work it out.
As to sanji just wait and see :P
also tha story i was looking for was my life in one piece for the person who asked
Mihawk was an interesting man full of interesting tales, hidden knowledge and great insight. Too bad he spent all of his time drinking wine and ignoring me. After he had made his decision to train me for a bit he decided that he had better things to do with his time than talk to someone who knows part of his future and more about the important people in the world than most other people knew. All we did was sail along on his raft, him drinking and me trying to figure out if I can actually die from boredom. You can't die from boredom by the way.
"I'm booorrreeeed," I whined after the seventh hour of doing nothing "when are you going to teach me something?"
Mihawk turned to regard me with his cold, unblinking eyes. "And what do you suggest I teach you on a tiny, one person raft that is currently in the middle of the ocean?" he asked as if I was an idiot. I have it on good authority that I'm not an idiot by the way, my mom wouldn't lie to me after all.
"Surely there must be something," I whined "what about Haki, or flying slashes or Kamehameha or something?"
Mihawk didn't even roll his eyes "what techniques and abilities do you know?" he asked.
"I know several but I can't actually do any," I inform the man without any shame in my voice whatsoever.
I swear he almost sighed in exasperation that time. "What is your greatest strength in a battle?"
"Oh that is easily my agility," I grinned. "I can move faster and jump farther than most people could ever hope to without a devil fruit or some special technique."
"Skill with your weapon?" he asked calmly. I swear I will make it my personal goal to get him to show emotion, no one should be that emotionless.
"Probably the same as a Marine grunt," I tell him again with no shame whatsoever.
Mihawk paused as if thought for a few minutes. "Can you run on water?" he eventually asked.
I was about to answer with no before I paused and realised I had never actually tried it "I don't know," I told him.
Mihawk stared at me for several seconds while I waited for his response. Eventually I realised he was probably waiting for me to give water running a try. I grumbled to myself but got up and got into a running position "if I fall in i'm blaming you," I muttered. I didn't get a response nor did I expect one.
Breathing slowly I pushed off of the raft as hard as I could, pushing myself away from it as I started my run. Imagining that it was land beneath me I lowered a foot onto the water and tried to push off of it, when I say tried to push off I mean I successfully pushed off of it. One step on the water, then two, then three, then four. It was exhilarating being able to run on water, it was incredible. The water felt like it was trying to pull me under though and as a result each step was harder and slower than I would normally be able to do, it was still awesome though. Then a Seaking appeared underneath me trying to eat me.
"OH FUCK!" I screamed elegantly. I jumped as hard as I can, hoping to get out of reach of the Seaking but as I went up and up and up the Seaking also went up and up and up. That's it I was about to die and there was nothing I could do about it, nothing at all.
I don't know how it happened but it was as if the whole world went quite, not a sound was heard except for a soft wind. As soon as the sound of the wind disappeared the world started to make noise again and the Seaking fell into hundreds of tiny cubes. It was too shocked and too thankful about what happened to remember to push off of the water before I fell into it and thus I had a long, slow swim back to the raft. I found out that swimming with one arm is as hard as one would expect but thankfully not impossible.
"You knew that Seaking was there," I growled out as I dragged myself onto the raft.
Mihawk smirked slightly, just a tiny, little, almost unnoticeable smirk. "Well it appears you are capable of running on water."
"Not even going to try and deny it are you?" I asked the swordsman annoyed.
"Aren't you going to thank me for saving your life?" Mihawk asked back almost in a challenging manner.
"I wouldn't have had my life in danger if it wasn't for you," I pointed out. It was around this point that I realised I had gotten over either my hero worship or fear of the man and could treat him as I would everyone else i.e. with little to no respect.
I swear Mihawk's smirk got slightly wider. "For now your training is to run around the raft until I say otherwise," he declared "and try not to get eaten by Seakings."
I was about to refuse, telling him that he was a sadistic ass hole and I wouldn't put my life on the line for his enjoyment. The sword against my neck made me change my mind about that. "I hate you," I grumbled before I began my run again.
I did my run as he commanded, dodging several attacks from Seakings as I did so. A few of the Seakings Mihawk took his time saving me from so it became more...interesting I guess you could say as one time I had to actually jump from Seaking to Seaking avoiding their attacks. Also bullets are useless against them, who knew?
I had to keep that up for a while, only taking a rest when I couldn't run any more and fell into the water. Finally, eventually Mihawk allowed me to stop and I had ever been more thankful as I collapsed onto the raft gasping for breath and resisting the urge to cut off my legs. It was about ten minutes before I decided to do anything else besides lay there gasping and when I sat up I instantly turned and glared at the World's Greatest Swordsman. "Any reason why you didn't decide to inform me that we were here?" I growled out gesturing to the huge gates that led in to Arlong Park.
'You have eyes do you not?" Mihawk asked, I just knew he was enjoying this.
I sighed "fine do you want to wait out here or come on in?"
"I'll come in it might be interesting," he decided.
I rolled my eyes "whatever. How do you reckon we open the ga... God dammit you didn't have to destroy them," I snapped as the World's Greatest Swordsman sheathed his sword. "Great now they're going to think we're enemies," I muttered staring at the destroyed gates.
"They are open aren't they?" Mihawk asked his voice tinged with amusement as our raft sailed in.
Through the gates was an interesting sight, there were about twenty fishmen glaring at us, Nami was there staring in shock and Arlong appeared to be apprehensive.
"KILL THEM!" One fishman shouted in anger.
Before they could all rush forward Arlong let out a yell "DON'T ANY OF YOU MOVE!" This caused all of the fishmen to stare in shock, Arlong THE Arlong hater of humans was telling them not to attack humans who attacked them?
"But why?" one of the fishmen, Chu, asked.
"That's Hawkeye Mihawk one of the Sichibukai," Arlong explained "he may be a human but not even we are enough against his great skill."
"Oh god he's going to get a big head isn't he," I muttered just loud enough to draw everyone's attention.
"Fairys what are you doing here?" Nami hissed "and why are you with him?"
"Fairys is that your name?" Mihawk asked "maybe I should change my mind against making you my student?"
"Like Hawkeye is a better name," I growl out.
"You have to admit it suits me, I'd rather not have a student who suits the name Fairys though," he smirked.
"I hate you," I pouted.
The fishmen were gaping at us by now "ah so may I ask why you are here?" Arlong eventually asked.
Regarding them as if they were mere bugs Mihawk said "we are here so that my student can leave a message with the girl, I would also like to borrow one of your stronger men for him to spar against."
They stared at us for several minutes "and what is this message of yours?" Arlong eventually asked me.
"Just that I'll catch up to her and the others later," I waved him off before turning to face Mihawk "what do you mean I have to fight one of them?"
"Well it's either fight one of them or fight me," Mihawk replied.
"So which one of you fishmen is my sparing partner?" I asked quickly, way too quickly I might add.
Arlong and the rest of his pirates regarded us strangely, "Kuroobi will be your sparing partner human," he announced "however we will not be responsible if you should die in this spar."
"And the same is true if your man were to die," Mihawk agreed.
"Fairys what the hell are you doing?" Nami hissed.
I regarded Kuroobi who stepped forward, I remembered him from the manga. He was a practitioner of fishman karate, dangerous in the water and appeared to be more brawn than speed. I might have a chance against him if I'm careful. Oh who am I kidding I'm gonna die and worst part is I'm going to die a virgin in this world as well. "I really hate you," I informed Mihawk before I jumped off of the raft and landed in front of Kuroobi. "Let's just get this over with," I muttered.
"It will be my pleasure to defeat you human," Kuroobi said with a small sneer before lunging forward with a one hundred tile punch. While I'm sure it was a punch he practised thousands of times and it was capable of destroying a hundred tiles it was still a pretty standard punch with standard form and as such I was able to sidestep it, only to be hit in the back with an arm blade slash. The power with which he hit me was incredible and I just knew I would be sore in the morning but I tried to ignore the pain as I weakly pulled myself to my feet, only to be kicked down again.
"Heh is this all you are capable of human?" Kuroobi mocked, "pathetic."
I let out a small growl as I pulled myself to my feet before turning and facing him "i am not pathetic you damn seafood," I growled out before I charged forward drawing my gunblade as I did and slashing at him. The bastard blocked my attack with one of his arm blades or whatever they were. Before he could use the opportunity to attack me I placed one foot on his chest and kicked off pushing myself backwards.
"Do not dare to call me seafood, human," Kuroobi growled "we fishmen are superior in every way to your pitiful kind."
"Whatever you say. Seafood," I taunted before rushing forward once more. This time I put more speed in it and tried Soru but this time stopping at the six steps instead of pushing too far and injuring myself. Once I reached him with my incomplete Soru I slashed with my sword, only to have it blocked, and kicked Kuroobi in the chest at the same time. The kick sent him skidding back a few inches but I was shocked to see the thin line of blood on his chest, as if he had been cut.
"You've done it now human," Kuroobi growled "One Thousand Tile True Punch," he shouted before sending his fist towards me.
Sorry Luffy, Zoro, Usopp, Nami and Richie but it looks like I'm dead. Mihawk i'm going to haunt you for all eternity you bastard. Suddenly Mihawk's sword appeared in front of me blocking the attack. "The spar is over," Mihawk announced. Mihawk I love you man, i'll name my children after you, heck I'll name my children's children after you.
"Out of the way human," Kuroobi growled at Mihawk.
"Kuroobi stand down the spar is over," Arlong ordered sternly.
"Fairys are you okay?" Nami asked me rushing to my side.
"I'm fine," I grinned "you should know I'm too awesome to go down."
"Whatever you say baka," she muttered rolling her eyes at me.
"Nami you forgot to mention how you know this human," Arlong asked.
I could tell Nami was instantly terrified by his question but it wasn't anything too dangerous if you could bullshit properly. "Helped her rob some pirates," I lied "and I was just coming here to let her know that I'll come and look her up again later some time when I want to rob more pirates."
"So the great Hawkeye Mihawk's student is just a common thief?" Arlong asked in surprise.
"He is amusing," Mihawk said shutting down that conversation. "Time to go Fairys," he declared before hopping back to his raft.
"See you later Nami," I whispered before I followed after my sensei.
