The gentle surf hardly affected the movement of the submarine, after the agitated previous night they could hardly recognize that they were sailing the same sea.
The intense calm invaded even inside the facilities, silence abounded among those present, continuing with their morning meeting in the dining room where they cleaned before resuming their work.
Suddenly a strange reaction caught the attention of those present. The captain changed his serene gesture to a threatening look in the opposite direction, tensing his posture, Law took his nodachi, raised his head and sharpened his expression, taking a few seconds to think... Several human presences could be felt nearby.
—Take your positions, soon we will contact an enemy ship. —He ordered, standing up while advancing to the exit.
—We are going on the offensive... Clione, take care of ship reconnaissance, the rest... Incapacitate those without bounties.
The reconnaissance trip was over, again the mood had turned serious with everyone present preparing for battle except for the hero who was pensively observing his surroundings.
—Calm down big guy, we are strong, you should not act as a babysitter, just make sure that nothing happens to the submarine. —The boy with a pronounced pompadour expressed confidently.
The more experienced crewmen went out to the deck carrying their weapons, the hero could appreciate in greater detail what fighting style each one of them practiced.
Outside, 10 of his comrades were warming up and preparing for the chaos that was coming.
In front of him he could see Penguin squatting using a spear as a support, Sachi was carrying a sword at his side, Clione was the only one carrying two crossed swords on his back, Byron, Klein, Monte and Uni were carrying katanas while the silent Hakugan had a big axe held by a belt, being Bepo and Jean Bart the only unarmed ones.
—YOUNG BEPO... DON'T YOU USE ANY WEAPONS?
—HIYA! I use martial arts. —He answered in his typical crane kick pose.
The hero couldn't help but smile at the adorable reaction approving his energy.
—WHAT ABOUT YOU, MR. BART?
—No technique, just strength Mr. Might.
—I SEE...
—YOUNG HAKUGAN... SHOULDN'T YOU BE IN CHARGE OF CONTROLLING THE SUBMARINE?
The masked boy just got nervous to answer shaking like jelly in his place.
—IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH HIM?
—He's just shy, —Jean Bart clarified.
—Ikkaku will do it for now, yesterday she proved that she can keep the Polar Tang in control. —Said Byron, relieving the hero who could see that the sweet girl was not a fighter.
—Plus, she has everyone else support. —Said the man with two pigtails.
The hero observed the horizon distinguishing a ship in the distance, he could not help wondering how did the captain knew about its presence. It was impossible to see it from the closed dining room.
—Nervous, big guy? —Sachi asked mockingly.
—You look very pensive. —Penguin added.
Toshinori was still absorbed in his thoughts, externalizing them in front of the young men.
—YOUNG TRAFALGAR'S INSTINCTS ARE TOO WELL DEVELOPED TO ANTICIPATE THE APPARITION OF A SHIP.
—Instincts? —They wondered tilting their head.
—I think he's referring to his Haki? —Bepo concluded
—HAKI... I'VE HEARD THAT TERM BEFORE... WHAT IS IT?
—We don't have time Yagi, when we finish with these guys then we'll explain.
The enemy ship was close and the pirates were eager to be part of the action, Clione looked with his binoculars at the enemy flag and then reviewed his notes.
—Three attractive bounties ahead of us! —He exclaimed putting away his artifact and thus grabbing weapons
The Polar Tang reached up with the large vessel that was twice Polar Tang's size, making it easy to board the enemy and leaving them vulnerable to their attacks.
The uniformed crew looked up trying to see the ship's crew, but all they could see how they were targeted by the cannons.
Everyone on deck readied their weapons to intercept the gunfire, the large blond walked calmly through the crowd taking a firm position in front of them, bending his knees slightly and grinning from ear to ear. A dozen cannons attacked simultaneously, being redirected by a powerful clap provided by the hero, causing the bullets to strike the enemy vessel, being applauded and celebrated by the crewmembers.
Trafalgar was watching from behind how his nakamas were taking care of the situation, he had to conserve energy to be able defeating the captains of greater value, although the power of his fruit is very versatile, it consumes much of his stamina.
The enemies began the invasion of the submarine jumping to the deck clashing their weapons with the crew of the Polar Tang that teamed up defending each other, Trafalgar noticed that the ship captain was not on sight so he remained in his position ready to intervene if necessary
The blond moved between the low-level villains focusing on attacking the larger one, who was surprisingly knocked out of his way by the large gummed man.
—Sit back and enjoy the show big guy. —The two-tailed member smiled as he held off the enemy attack with his katana.
—MR. KLEIN, YOU LOOK LIKE YOU COULD USE A LITTLE HELP... —Said Yagi as the masked pirate swung the handle of his axe at Klein attacker's back, distracting him so that his comrade could finish him off with his katana dull blade.
_THAT WAS DIRTY, BUT HE IS NOT SERIOUSLY INJURED_
At this point the hero did not seem to be bothered by the actions of the pirates who adopted him, traveling in these waters made him understand that any mistake could be fatal, a fight between both crews wasn´t that different from the attack of a sea beast.
—Watch us Noob, you will see the power of the Heart Pirates.
—Aye-Aye! —They agreed in unison.
The skill of the uniformed men was remarkable, beyond the average considering they were simple humans without quirks to help them, their skills, techniques and teamwork made the enemy look at disadvantage even though they had three times the number of combatants.
The noise of the metal clashing against each other overshadowed the war cries of the bear that jumped with great agility from enemy to enemy giving a combo of kicks. Sachi and Penguin looked like predators playing with their prey, deflecting the attacks with their weapons and then responding with martial arts attacks, Jean Bart took advantage of his strength and size to expel them from the deck with a couple of blows. The trio of Hakugan, Clione and Klein played in perfect harmony, being the masked one who stopped the strongest attacks with his big axe so that his friends could attack the distracted enemies.
The hero watched from the railing amused by the battle between the two sides that seemed to be choreographed just to be suddenly surprised and a little disappointed in himself _I'M DOING THE SAME AS THAT OLD MAN_ Thought crestfallen with a sweat drop on his head.
The blond's skin bristled taking it as a warning to sharpen his senses, managing to perceive a hostile presence approaching over his vessel.
The Captain saw how the buff man suddenly got up from his post and instinctively went to the battle area without knowing what was happening.
A black liquid was sliding along the ground capturing every living being or matter that was in its path, the pirates were disabled in a matter of seconds, the more they struggled to escape, the more they were consumed by this strange substance.
An amorphous silhouette appeared on Jean Bart's back, projecting a huge shadow over the big man, but the figure disintegrated in a moment as a gust of air caused by a blow of great magnitude had scattered the unkwonn slime.
The remains of the dense liquid regrouped in front of the blond who noticed that was unable to move his feet, the attack had backfired, spreading it everywhere had given the enemy a greater range of attack and defense.
—WHAT?! MR. JEAN BART, GO AWA...! —The man with the tattooed face had been completely covered by the dark slime.
He had not yet finished dedicating words to his crewmate when one of the blond's arms stopped responding, it was now manipulated by the amorphous figure that was moving rapidly over his body.
Toshinori tried to remove the substance, but he was only submerging himself more in it... With a big breath he managed to focus his strength on one of his arms to free himself and be able to send a series of blows to that threatening presence without noticing that each punch he threw only trapped him more in that thick substance.
—You need more than a few simple punches to hurt me... I wonder how much time will take for your body to succumb to the lack of oxygen? Goo-goo-goo —The creature mocked sadistically as it covered the blond's face.
_MY PUNCHES DIDN'T CAUSE ANY DAMAGE! WHAT IS THIS ABILITY? HOW CAN IT BE DEFEATED? _
The hero was unable to move, and he could feel how he began to lose his breath. _IT CANNOT END LIKE THIS_ He thought realizing that his body stopped responding, limiting himself only to listen slightly to the voices around him.
—Shambles... —The entire crew including the blond, were transported behind the captain leaving the remaining enemies in front of him.
—Amputate— Law unsheathed his nodachi and without moving from his place, generated several slashes in the air that ended up dismembering all the pirates in front of him.
Ending his attack with a relaxed stand resting the nodachi on his shoulder and made rotating movements with his hands that manipulated all the floating bodies spinning around the Polar Tang.
One of the bodies regenerated quickly turning back into that viscous substance that stretched until it touched the mast of the submarine to move on it and reach the surgeon of death, that ended piercing it with the sword as soon as he approached him responding to the attack with a scream of pain taking his human form to try to remove the nodachi's blade that pierced his stomach pulling his body with the strength of his hands even with the blade running through his entrails.
—Isn't your scream too high-pitched Captain Brock? Is it because Logias are not used to pain... How interesting would it be to experiment with my ability on your body... But you see... We're in a bit of a hurry. —He mocked sadistically bending down, still holding his nodachi to see the expression of pain on his adversary's face.
—YOUNG TRAFALGAR, WERE YOU ABLE TO INFLICT HIM DAMAGE? —Asked the blond puzzled reacting after hearing the scream, his eyesight still not fully recovered after the strange substance had contact with his eyes.
The villain could not finish his words when he saw how the doctor's hand pierced his chest.
—Mes... —He expressed calmly holding a heart in his hand.
Captain Brock collapsed unconscious dropping the weight of his body with nothing to support him, slipping on Law's nodachi.
The captain withdrew and sheathed his weapon thus finishing the battle and stopping his ability causing a shower of limbs on the surroundings, while the rest of his nakamas collected the body pieces playing with them throwing as they threw them off to the ship that invaded them.
—The one who basket the crow's nest won't need to do any more cleaning chores for a month. —Said Sachi cheerfully causing everyone to begin throwing the limbs with greater enthusiasm.
All Might began to see the scene around him more clearly, the voices echoed in his head, he had never witnessed something similar, the name "Heart Pirates" lost that adorable meaning now that he realized how somber his true meaning was... They literally stole hearts.
He couldn't believe it, Yagi hoped that it was all part of a hallucination caused by the lack of oxygen, but he knew it wasn't so. His temper began to change, he could feel his blood burning inside his body. They were not what he thought they were, he now considered them merciless killers playing with enemy bodies for fun.
He turned his attention to the captain focusing his eyes on his hands, the brunet was carrying a small box with the heart of the villain inside. But something caught his attention causing him to calm down the anger he felt at that moment... The heart was beating.
His sight began to clear as he calmed down a bit, looking around and paying attention to the sounds...
Bodies despite being cut into pieces, were still moving on their own, heads complaining about the pirates' treatment and some hands crawling across the wood.
—STOP PLAYING WITH OTHER PEOPLE'S BODIES... RESPECT WHAT LITTLE DIGNITY THEY HAVE LEFT. —Jean Bart claimed, throwing a torso at the ship, as it landed inside the crow's nest.
—Heh... I think I'm off the cleaning duties for a month. —He said, trying to hide his joy.
Everyone was shocked into silence for a few seconds, as Byron was attacked by an arm pulling his pompadour and Bepo was trying to catch some slippery legs running overboard.
—THE VICTIMS ARE STILL ALIVE! THEY'RE JUST TEARED INTO PIECES_ He thought in relief, although repeating that last part made his skin shiver.
Jean Bart had the torsos of 4 other unconscious medium bounty crewmen tied up with a hole in their chest, which he proceeded to throw into the water so that his comrades who fell overboard during the battle could retrieve them... thus continuing on his way.
Toshinori looked confused and a bit disturbed.
—YOUNG TRAFALGAR, WHAT JUST HAPPENED? —Too much happened in a few moments, the captain was more dangerous than I expected.
—We'll let them wander to their fate on their ship...
—ETO... THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT... —A sweat drop slid down his scalp after hearing the brunet's answer.
—Captain took their hearts, but don't worry... They're still alive. —Penguin replied as he took the hearts in a bag with one of the pages from Clione's list.
—OOOOH! Captain Brock with a sixty-nine million bounty, eight more like this and we'll get the same reward as the first-place prize. —Celebrated Penguin happily
—Captain, can't you help me? I can't get this goo out of my fur. —Bepo said with teary eyes.
_HOW ADORABLE. _The blond was distracted for a few seconds.
—I THOUGHT YOUR POWER WAS TO TRANSPORT OBJECTS. —He questioned the captain once more.
—Captain ate the Ope-Ope no mi, it allows him to create an operation room where he has absolute control of everything within the area. —Replied the bear.
—I SEE...
_THAT IS VERY AMBIGUOUS. HOW FAR-REACHING IS THAT "ABSOLUTE CONTROL"?_
—WHY DIDN'T YOUNG LAW USED HIS POWER TO RELOCATE THEM TO THEIR SHIP? —He asked, feeling a little sorry for the villains.
—We failed to stop them... Let's call it a punishment. —Byron answered while playfully throwing body parts.
—Captain, what do you plan to do with these? —Penguin asked, carrying the hearts.
—A collection. —He answered expressionless.
—What a sadist! —thought everyone
—For your room? —Klein asked, fearing the answer would be decoration for the submarine.
—For the navy.
—FOR THE NAVY?!
—WHY THE NAVY, AREN'T YOU ENEMIES?
—There is a title I would like to have, but I need to earn it… Surrendering the Navy these hearts will give them total control over those pirates, thus making them surrender willingly in exchange for their organ.
_HIS THINKING IS CUNNING AND FRIGHTENING... HIS ABILITY IS TERRIFYING_ Toshinori thought without being able to imagine how much reach his power could have.
The journey was no different, they ran into the rest of the competitors who had average rewards; With the captain strategies and his subordinates' skills they managed to get out of multiple battles unharmed, without physical and material losses. Obtaining the amount of 53 pirate hearts with rewards on their heads.
During the fights Toshinori noticed how the young captain did not need his quirk to defeat his opponents, using his power only at the end of the combat to steal the precious heart. His battles were based on agility, precision and his nodachi, however, what most caught his attention was the tranquility Law maintained while fighting... The brunet seemed to know how they would attack or if there were some kinds of ambush. No battle nor attack took him by surprise… That only made Yagi remember, what Bepo mentioned before, that strange ability called haki, same that the old man mentioned when he first met him.
The day turned out to be exhausting, there were no moment of peace since they woke up, using their last victory to take a breath. Toshinori headed to the kitchen to reward himself after the battles they had.
On could be seen a keg that Mr. Monte had left filled with a refreshing drink.
Toshinori appreciated the gesture and took a glass filling it with the drink that the cook so attentively had prepared for them with the reserves stolen from the enemies. All Might noticed its fruity flavors with a fresh and aromatic touch of some herbs, clearing his thoughts as he finished drinking it. The blond looked carefully at the glass in his hands leaving it with the rest, and taking a clean one to fill it with more beverage from the barrel, going out with it to the deck.
The sky was clear and there was no sign of enemy ships, the hero proceeded searching for the captain who was outside his cabin enjoying the cool sea breeze. Trafalgar watched as the large man headed in his direction with a lost expression, standing up in front of him while handing the tropical drink.
The dark-haired man accepted gratefully and the blond sat down next to him to chat as if they were friends.
—YOUNG CAPTAIN... WHAT'S THAT HAKI? —Asked bluntly
The young brunet took a few drinks, looking at him out of the corner of his eye, the man looked lost, observing the sea with his arms crossed over his knees.
—It is the ability to feel and use spiritual energy. —The blond tried to analyze the words to give them a meaning, he still had many questions and did not fully understand his explanation.
_FEEL THE PRESENCES OF OTHERS? BUT WHAT DOES HE MEAN BY USING SPIRITUAL ENERGY? IS IT LIKE QI? —He thought remembering how in his world the monks were known worldwide for using the "Qi" energy, an intangible attribute of every living being… Better known in several parts of Asia as the flow of vital energy, with the difference that it was focused on health and medicine, but not in battle. COULD IT BE THE SAME ENERGY WITH ANOTHER USE?
—DOES EVERYONE POSSESS HAKI? —He asked remembering how the old man also told him when he made use of it.
— Although it is an ability that not everyone is able to awaken… It's a power possessed by all creatures… And that includes you, Toshinori-ya. —The young man could see that the hero hadn't noticed it yet.
—IN MY WORLD WE DON'T HAVE THAT ABILITY... —He scratched his head
—During the battles, didn't you feel the presence of any enemy?
—ETO... YES, BUT IT'S DIFFERENT.
—It's not different Toshinori-ya, as I mentioned before... Everyone possesses it, but not everyone is able to control it... It can be confused as a sixth sense.
The blond's attention was completely directed to the captain, that statement caught him off guard, it was possible that his ability to sense the hostile auras was not an ability acquired by the experience in combat, but signs of the so-called haki.
The captain realized Yagi understood that he was capable of use Kenbunshoku Haki before, even before meeting them.
—The haki is latent in every living person, but rarely people awaken it. —He sat down taking a more comfortable position for the explanation without looking at him, though the blond had his full attention.
—It can be categorized into three: Observation, armament and conquering...
—Observation Haki allows us to sense the energy and vitality of the living beings around us... like the eight presences you carry within... —It was the second time that he was told that there were several "voices" inside him.
—WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY EIGHT PRESENCES?
—Since you appeared in front of our submarine, I heard 8 strong voices coming from you. -He said with a tired tone, leaning his head against the wall, cushioning it with his hands on the back of his neck.
—VOICES? WERE THEY SAYING SOMETHING?
—No…Is just a way to describe it, they don't speak, it's how the power of each one manifests itself... The louder the "voice" is heard, the more life and strength the individual carries... When it's wielder dies, that "voice" disappears.
The young man was not bluffing, All Might knew that the One for All had passed through 7 generations and that he corresponded to the eighth... Those 8 voices that Law mentioned, referred to his Quirk.
—HOW CAN I AWAKEN THAT ABILITY?
—Experience and training... But it takes years to master it.
—I thought you were able to use that ability completely when I first saw how you identified Petrol's presence, but when you failed connecting a blow with him... I understood that I was wrong.
—STOP HIS ATTACK? —Yagi remembered how the villain who could not be touched had been injured by the young man's weapon.
—THAT'S RIGHT! YOU WERE ABLE TO HURT HIM!
The brunet took a deep breath a little tired of giving explanations to someone who could not use it, but the man looked interested and there was the possibility that if he trained, he could develop it.
By his reaction law could notice that it was not common ability in his world, and Yagi could be the first one to use it.
—Armament Haki... It projects an invisible strong protection armor around ourselves, providing incredible offensive and defensive capabilities. As can be used to attack by strengthening the body, projecting it in attacks or impregnating it in weapons… This form of Haki can be used to injure Devil Fruit users that are otherwise immune to ordinary physical attacks, such as Logia users... Like the pirate he faced this morning.
—Logia type powers are elemental, they are characterized by giving their consumers the ability to create, control and transform their body into a natural element. —He finished his explanation, remaining silent for a few moments with his gaze lost in the horizon waiting for the hero to digest all the information.
Law notices a presence approaching while All Might felt a heavy pressure in the atmosphere.
—Toshinori-ya Can you "Hear" it? —He asked while standing up.
—NO... BUT I FEEL UNEASY... —Law smirked at his answer, he really had it in him, but didn't know how to use it.
—Get ready, we are getting close to someone dangerous. —He warned advancing to the bow of the submarine followed by the hero being reached by the man with bangs and blue cap carrying his list.
—Captain... I have a record that the four big shots in the race could still be ahead of us. —He said, flipping through his notes and separating the information.
—Captain Darth with a bounty of 180 million, Captain Zero with 250 million, the Brutal Thai with 130 million and the one with the highest bounty next to yours, Captain Hebigami with 300 million...
The sea began to behave strangely, in the distance the surface of the water was splitting in two as if something was approaching at high speed. The young lady was the one who noticed this strange phenomenon, warning the masked helmsman who quickly turned the rudder to avoid that strange event that was approaching.
A great curtain of water overflowed the submarine… Everyone grabbed the handrails to avoid being thrown overboard.
—What the hell was that?! —Asked the alarmed newbie.
—We're under attack! —Penguin warned, looking around him.
—I don't see any ammunition. What attacked us?
—It's a sword…—Said the captain.
—Dive, we'll approach from the depths. —Ordered
—AYE! —The uniformed men obeyed entering the facilities to dive at full speed with enough depth to avoid enemy attacks.
Several slashes approached underwater, those were perceptible by the bubbles that appeared on the way and the sudden blood of sea creatures cut in half… The sailors tried to move where they saw more wildlife to anticipate their attacks.
The submarine positioned itself under the attacking ship, taking advantage of the proximity so that the crew would be safe and its captain could change position with an enemy.
—ROOM —A large sphere formed on the perimeter encompassing the vessel above them.
—Shambles —His body was replaced with a pirate with pronounced Mohican.
The young men only appeared menacingly armed to the teeth around the stranger who only dropped his katanas to plead for his life
After a few minutes of anguish with no response from Trafalgar, they emerged seeing the brunet having a one on one duel only with weapons with Captain Darth.
The subordinates of the Ex-Marine with crimson red hair were still on the ship, but were ordered not to interfere by their captain, but that order did not apply to the heart pirates… Blade Pirates took the initiative by shooting them with their cannons, easily cut by the duo of Sachi and Penguin and intercepted by Bepo and Toshinori.
—Oi, Yagi-san, you are a good apprentice. —Congratulated the bear being reciprocated with a smile by the blond.
The Blade pirates did not stop their attacks wasting their ammunition since the quartet in charge of protecting the Polar Tang did not even allow the bullets to get close. The enemy desisted to continue with this approach by changing tactics and boarding the submarine, which was smaller than their ship.
The enemies stood out from other pirates, as a crew specialized in the use of katanas, whose dexterity and skill were to be respected, being noticed in the first clash of blades with the Heart pirates, no matter the strength they used in their attacks, or speed, no slash managed to connect between them.
Jean Bart observed the blond who did not participate because his attack style is melee, Bepo instead ran to defend his nakamas with a mixed kicking style between the enemies, causing distracting them so that the rest could connect the attacks.
—MR. JEAN BART... —He called his partner's attention as he watched the fight between the captains.
—... —The big man looked at him attentively
—WHY DOES YOUNG TRAFALGAR NOT MADE USE OF HIS ABILITY?
—... I don't know... —The big toothed man joined in his confusion.
—AYE AYEEEEE! —Bepo was motioning to the hero trying to catch his attention to show him how to fight using his body against sharp weapons.
The bear moved with great agility avoiding the blades and parrying the cuts by kicking the attackers' hands to deflect the angle of the attacks and being able to hit them with ease.
The hero nodded his head at the demonstration of his companion, unlike him, he did not usually use his feet so he proceeded to approach the villains letting them attack first waiting for them to be exposed when wielding their katanas to consequently be hit in the stomach to suffocate them, it took him a while to get into a rhythm leaving aside his strength and focusing on agility to knock out as many as possible in the shortest amount of time, leaving several bodies lying on the ground.
All might got the hang of it with incredible speed, but while protecting his crewmates he felt as if something pinched his back, feeling weak at the moment… His weight won, making him collapse on his knees… An open opportunity that was taken advantage by some twin pirates who jumped to attack him with sabers.
His comrades saw his pitiable condition and surrounded All Might to protect him from the attackers intercepting the 4 sabers, for then being grabbed from behind and thrown overboard by Jean Bart.
—Yagi-san, What's wrong? —Asked the bear worriedly.
—I DON'T KNOW, I FEEL WEAK... —Answered the staggering blond.
—Can you continue? —Jean Bart asked approaching him.
All Might stood up trying to continue fighting, but he was not faster or stronger than his crewmates, he felt how his strength drained away… feeling as strong as a common citizen.
—WHAT'S GOING ON?
—Don't worry buddy, we got it! —Sachi said calmly resting a katana on his shoulder.
In another location, Trafalgar had a hard time, they were at the same level in combat with their weapons, the blades hit again and again. The collision between the metal could be heard causing their faces to light up with each hit.
Trafalgar took a step back covering his nodachi with haki to give a cut with all his strength, but the former marine managed to stop the slash and tried to hit him with an uppercut to the chin using a mixed technique, but the brunet deflected it with his nodachi to finish with his elbow coated in haki on Darth's head disfiguring his face and being thrown by the impact, moment used by Law to give a last diagonal slash and leave him unconscious bleeding on the deck of his own ship.
The agitated pirate sheathed his nodachi taking a breath of air, to later jump to the deck of his ship, seeing how his crew had everything under control smiling at him.
—Well done. —The man of few words congratulated.
—IT WAS NOTHIN' CAPTAIN ~~ —The uniformed men thanked.
The brunet took a seat at the railing, so he could take off his yellow and black sweatshirt he was wearing, revealing his slim and toned body wounded by a couple of bullets on his torso...
—Those bastards had kairoseki bullets. —The captain grumbled.
—How could they have gotten them? —Asked the mustached-hatted medic as he tended to the captain's wounds.
—They must have contacts if the captain belonged to the navy.
As soon as the bullets were removed, Trafalgar continued with his collection of hearts, finishing briefly returning to the deck with 4 more hearts.
—Was anyone else shot? —Vinny continued after extracting the sea stones from the brunet.
—I BELIEVE… I WAS ALSO SHOT —The hero recalled the pinch he felt during the battle.
The mustachioed brunet approached the massive blond man, lifting up his black T-shirt exposing his beefy back with a bullet shot.
—That explains why you became so useless all of a sudden.
—Sachi, don't be rude. —Jean Bart scolded.
—WHAT DO THEY DO?
—Kairoseki is used to weaken devil fruit users. —The doctor answered, extracting the foreign object from the blond's body, who gradually felt his strength returning back.
—BUT I'M NOT A DEVIL FRUIT USER.
—It seems we're not that far apart Toshinori-ya... This is getting more and more interesting. —A grim smile came across the captain's face, coming to a conclusion in his head.
The hero was confused by the young man's words. What conclusion could he have come to?
—Toshinori-ya, I hadn't asked you... But I recall you belong to the 80% with powers in your world, am I right?
—SOMETHING LIKE THAT, MY POWER WAS TRANSFERRED... I ORIGINALLY BELONG TO THE 20%
—And what abiliy do you possess?
—SUPERSTRENGHT
—WOW! HOW USELESS! —The uniformed men complained in surprise.
—WHAT?! —He asked surprised and offended at the same time. _HOW SEVERE_
—It would have been better if you didn't receive anything, —They continued mocking the blond.
—Of all the powers you got one that you could develop by training... Buuuuuuuuuh! —They all booed with their thumbs down.
The hero's forehead began to be decorated with bulging veins from the anger caused by the pirates' comments.
—I see... I thought it was your strength and you kept hiding your true ability? —The captain scoffed with a nasal laugh.
—HOW COULD YOU BELIEVE THAT SOMEONE COULD HAVE SUCH NATURAL STRENGTH? —He was shocked by the pirates' assumptions.
—The people of your world sound weak Yagi-san. —Bepo booed.
—WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?!
—Sorry...
—It seems that the dependence on their quirk's limits people... Creating weak beings. —The dark-haired man concluded tiredly, seeing how the hero was really offended.
—It is not necessary to have the power of a devil fruit to be strong. There are people who, even without it, can easily kill powerful devil fruit users. —Said Jean Bart.
—IS THAT TRUE?
—Red haired Shanks for example, even with one arm he can go toe to toe with admirals who have his logia fruit. —Said Penguin counting with his fingers, while his nakama continued with the list
—Garp the navy hero...
—Dark King Rayleigh
—Dracule Mihawk
—Pirate King Gol D. Roger.
The strong people list kept growing as the boys were excited at the names they voiced, filling in the blanks with information of who they were and their exploits.
Those people without any quirks sounded like complete monsters, a cross attack between any of those names could split the sky. How was it possible that such a great force could develop in bodies without any peculiarities?
—How can you aspire to be the best if you only rely on your quirk? —The captain added salt to the wound.
—Oof! Apply cold water to the burned area —Chanted the pirates
Everyone's words echoed in his head, leaving him thoughtful... Is it really possible to have that power without the need of a quirk? And even the holders of powers could develop those abilities... All Might was shocked and excited. If he could bring that knowledge to his world... If he could learn from them...
—GUYS! Radar shows we're about to reach Rocky Port. —Ikkaku chirped happily.
Sundancer here:
So yeah, this chapter had the memories that All Might remembered on the first chapter...
Is it okay to update this so often? or should i take more time between publishing chapters?
I hope you're enjoing the story, i want already to go back with the UA class for start building the mysteries
also, I'd like to know if you have any questions?
