Chapter 1: The Dream
"I'M GOING TO BECOME THE GREATEST PIRATE IN THE WORLD"
A face splitting grin flashed towards the crowd.
Like a chain reaction the rest of the crowds started mirroring the young white-haired child on top of the box at the front of the crown. He looked to be about 12 years of age. His smile from one ear to the other. The boy wore a white shirt with the word Pirate on it and red shorts.
It only took a minute before laughter erupted.
Everyone cheered for the boy – except three people, who had just arrived.
"WHAT IS THIS TRAVESTY?" A voice from the back of the crowd appeared.
Fear was plastered on the face of almost everyone there before it was quickly replaced by blank looks. The man behind them was Saint Charloss a world noble.
The world nobles where disgusting creatures who took pleasures in abducting women for their own pleasure. They loved to sell slaves on the black market or make a death game between slaves for their own amusement.
The man behind them was no different than them. His ugly face already sported an excited smile as he gazed upon the multiple women in the crowd, who were desperately trying to make themselves look smaller to not get noticed.
Then, Saint Charloss face turned into a look of anger as his gaze landed on the small boy who was glaring at him.
"What the hell did you say earlier, boy?" He asked.
"Not that it is any of your business, but I said I will become the greatest Pirate in the world, one where everyone shall know my name." he answered. "Also, my name is Ash, REMEMBER IT CAUSE THAT NAME WILL BE ALL OVER THE WORLD ONCE I MAKE MY MARK AS PIRATE."
The world nobles' faces seemed to turn into several shades of red as the crowd started to back away leaving a clear road between the boy and the world noble with his marine guards.
He looked behind him towards his guards before saying.
"Kill him"
Without a word the marines ran towards the boy, who now had a look of fear on his face.
Suddenly a shout of 'NO' rang out before a women jumped in the way as the marines stopped their charge.
"Mom" cried out Ash. His mother looked back.
"Everything will be alright dear, don't worry."
"AAAH, so this is your mother, hmm" Charloss said with a cruel and hungry look. "Let's take them away with us"
BANG!
My eyes suddenly shot up as I disappeared dodging the bullet going straight for my head, destroying the boat I was in.
'So, it was just a dream' I thought.
There were three men on a boat that was right next to mine. One with the gun that I had almost been shot with, although they were all armed with guns and swords. I saw them blinking in confusion probably still wondering what had happened.
I sweat drop, if not for Observation Haki and shigan I probably would have died…. HAHAHAH XD as if I could ever be killed by these mere fodder men.
My names Ash, a pirate who has just set out on his adventure after training for five years with a man. I'm now 20 years old. I wore a white shirt with greyish trousers tied by a long red ribbon. I had browns boots, a straw hat now rested on my white hair with a blue ribbon around the top of it. A white hilt and golden guard sword rested comfortably on my right-hand side. My right missing eye was now covered with a black eyepatch, and I had a black jacket long jacket reaching to my feet with white fur on the edges of it hanging on my soldier. I had changed a lot from my old kid self – I looked more like a pirate.
I've had a rough past but I'm finally ready to start my grand adventure. I suppose beating up some men would be a good start.
I coughed, getting the attention of the three marines who were still staring at my broken ship in surprise. They jumped back surprised to see me well and kicking.
Instantly they aimed their guns at me. Quickly putting my hands up, I said,
"Woah, Woah their guys, what's with the hostility, take a chill pill would you, we all buds here, no need for the dangerous objects pointed at people. Why don't you shift those over to the safe zone" I pointed away from me.
Like a broken record, one of them said.
"Who are you?"
"Me?" I asked as I disappeared again, appearing Infront of the guy, who had spoken, scaring all three of them. Before any of them could react, I drew my sword and plunged it through the man's heart, a grin on my face as I did so. Turning over to the two men on my right with a sadistic smile I asked.
"Who is next?"
The pirate instantly started firing at me as I just stood there. Like hitting metal, the bullets just bounced off me.
"Wha-what the hell?" The marines stumbled; fear clear on their faces.
"Sorry but I'm afraid I ate a devil fruit. No point in telling you as you will be dead in a few seconds, so I'll just say that your bullets are no match for my scales." I stated as I walked towards them. The marines took a step back before gathering their courage and charging towards me with their swords.
A wicked grin once again found its way to my face as I said, "On second thoughts, you guys can call me Shadow, KAHAHAA."
The shadow of a winged beast appeared on the floor as shouts and echoes of the other marines rushing to the scene could be heard.
A FEW HOURS LATER
I was walking through the outskirts of Rokushuki Village with a bag of money on my shoulder as I didn't exactly have a boat now. I had sensed a large aura, so I came to check it out in hopes of a potential first mate.
I stopped as I looked at the man Infront of me. The man had long black hair that reached his waist tied with a hairband. He wore a red kimono with red pants. And a sword tied to the right side of his waist.
"You're a long way from home buddy" he said to me.
"Damn playing the cool act, respect" I responded, "however I'm no, I sensed your strong presence and came here to recruit you to my crew."
"I decline"
"I decline your decline."
"Look kid, I don't have time to go play pirates with you piss off before I make you.
My eye twitched. He literally looked the same age as me and he is calling me a kid. Then I grinned, realizing he is challenging me. Never one to back of a challenge I respond.
"Alright then, I won't leave."
Suddenly, a sword came flying to my head. I quickly ducked under the strike avoiding it before I sent an upward kick towards his head. The man used his second sword to block it before going for an upward cut with his first sword. I quickly leaped off his second sword with my foot, putting some distance between us.
"I won't ask you again, Leave." The man's two swords suddenly turned black.
"What's your name?" I asked.
"Jax" he answered.
"Well, I won't ask you again" I started with my arms raised in the air and a grin appearing on my face "Join me and together we will shake the world."
Unsheathing my sword, it turned black as well. Jax grinned as we both ran towards each other.
One hour later
Jax and I were back in the town in a room getting treated by some doctors. Neither of us held back and we both had some cuts and wounds on our bodies.
According to the villagers our clash could be heard from there.
We were currently sitting on some chairs letting our wounds heal.
Thinking back on the fight, I suddenly burst out laughing. Jax glared at me, not seeing what's funny.
"what's so funny?"
"Lighten up would ya, that was one of the best duels I've had in a while."
I could hear mumble something that sounded like 'me too'.
Before I could respond, we could hear some commotion outside. It wasn't long before that commotion found itself in the cottage, we were staying in.
It appeared some marines had come onto the island looking extremely angry. The marines glanced at Jax, before looking at me. They took a few seconds looking at me, making me uncomfortable. Then, one marine saw my bag of money. The same one I raided from the marines a while back.
"YOU" he shouted. Seemingly, catch the attention of the village with that shout. "you're the one that beat up some of our men and stole from us, you lowly pirate."
That's when it clicked. These where the same men I stole from. Kawaharahara, that's kind of funny I won't lie.
The marines seemed to scramble in that moment. Some aimed their weapons while others ran out of the cottage.
"So, where do you think we should go on our next pirate adventure?" I asked casually to Jax, one of his swords that was still sheathed held firmly in his hands.
"You do remember I refused your offer, right?" He asked.
"You do remember I refused your refusal, right?" I responded back.
Jax sighed before a smirk seem to grimace his face. 'Going with him might actually be fun,' he thought.
"Alright then, but under one condition. My dreams and goals come first and if I see one sign of weakness, I will cut you down myself."
"Done and done, welcome to the True Kings Pirates."
It was then that the marines seem to remember they were trying kill them, as they fired their weapons. Jax blocked every shot with his sword while all the bullets just bounced off me.
"Tch, what kind of pirate name is that?" Jax asked as he started walking towards the marines, deciding to take care of them himself.
"The one that will reach the ends of the Grand Line itself and will be remembered for eternity" I responded as I watched him cut down the marines one by one.
The marines who had run out came back with a larger marine man behind them. I remembered this guy as the marine captain I beat up before I left the marine ship.
"Straw-Hat, you won't get away from me this time." Before stopping seeing the men that where there all on the floor beaten up by the man in the red kimono.
A tick mark came upon my face. Golden feathers appeared behind me as I whooshed past Jax with great speed grabbing his collar.
"Who the hell do you think you are calling straw-hat. My name is Ash, got it or if you want to call me something else then gimme a cool nickname like shadow, ya know." The marine trembled with fear, trying his best to stand his ground. However, he wasn't strong enough as I lifted the tall man up before throwing him through several buildings.
Looking outside, I could see several more marines rushing to the area. I threw some money towards the villages to pay for the damage before calling out,
"Jax". He appeared behind me. Wind started picking up around us as it covered us in thick protection. My wings flapped as the wind carried us out of the place towards the coast where me and Jax fought.
"You really got to explain your devil fruit powers to me later" Jax said.
"Yeah yeah, sure"
Grabbing Jax's boat, I put it on the sea as we prepared to set sail.
I could sense the marines getting closer and closer. However, it was too late as we were already in the sea.
"So, where to next, captain?" Jax asked.
"To achieve our dreams" I responded.
"Say, you never really told me what your dreams are?"
"Oh, me?" I started.
"I'M GOING TO BECOME THE GREATEST PIRATE IN THE WORLD"
