"Uncle, Uncle don't leave me!! Uncle-hick uncle the bad men threatened to put me in a brothel !! Uncle-uncle DONT LEAVE!!" he screamed pitifully as he swam along behind me. (A/N imagine a fat man like lucky Roo crying up a storm, holding onto another guy's leg as he literally swims on the ground…..ya.. nasty..)
"Git off me you fat lout!!" I roared, my anger forcing my words to slur. I had constantly attempted to calm myself down with the ability of my fruit, but it all proved quite useless as I got angry faster that I could calm down.
"Ubcle!!!......" a sob quite riddled with snot journeyed behind me as I finally made my way into an alleyway that had a lack of people- just what I was looking for.
The fatty immediately calmed down, the lines of tears on his face the only evidence to the fact that he had been crying, I was quite in awe at the level of shamelessness that had just been displayed, you have to realize I had been in the company of pirates my whole life! but even then, I had never seen someone as shameless as the fatty at my feet.
"It's not that I am against taking you into my crew per-se, it is just that I don't really believe you are strong enough to survive in the new world…and beyond" I began coldly as I regarded the fatty who had straightened up, an uncharacteristically serious look overcoming his usual gloomy façade. "Moreover I don't really know you-" I continued just to be interrupted by the scowling fatty.
"Captain.." he began, completely disregarding my raised eyebrow. "I am not trying to boast, but I. Am. Strong" he said gritting his teeth as he did so.
"I have awakened observation haki, and I know that you are strong. Really strong. That is why I want to follow you….So that one day…one day I can reach the same level as my father, surpa.s.s him and flatten Mary Gerosa!" he said his eyes blazing eerily as a cold aura burst forward from him. "test me how you will, but please..please give me a chance!" he continued as he regarded me with his brown eyes.
I felt shaken. Partly because of the fatty's determination, but mostly because of his ability.
"fine…" I sighed looking defeated as I looked at him. "I will give you a chance, one chance only. If you fail-never show your face infront of me!" I said as I looked at him, a spark of battle intent smoldering in my eyes as I took out my dagger, "You are a martial artist. Come! Fight me!!" I roared coldly as I made sure that the exit to the alley, and by extension the alley itself was deserted.
My eyes calmly regarded the battle-ready fatty as I began focusing. Lines of green trajectory began swarming my eyes. I looked at the fatty as I begun to move. My dagger swiveled as I Shunpo'd behind the fatty.
Obvious surprise colored his face as he hastily rolled away from me, dodging the cutthroat movement my a hairs breadth. He rounded on me, a roundhouse kick aimed at my face. My eyes contracted as I moved the dagger to intercept, only to be stopped by the heel of his feet.
With my hands as support, the fatty somersaulted backwards, much too agile for his stocky frame as he tried to sweep the feet from under his advancing foe, My eyes shone with amus.e.m.e.nt as I jumped up, over his outstretched leg, only to land and continue to advance unbothered.
He rose hurriedly, maintaining his form, before throwing a powerful punch my way. I barely dodged only due to the synergy that my observation Haki and my devil fruit abilities possessed. My mind finally fully focused on my enemy.
A sharp gleam a.s.saulted the fatty as I shunpo'd in front of him, just in time to catch the deflected dagger and bringing it down onto his exposed neck. He remained calm as he kneed the bottom of my elbows forcing my dagger off trajectory, before he brought his fists into my exposed chest [ Martial Arts: Tiger Punch] he roared loudly as I flew backwards, again quite surprised my his a.r.s.enal of moves.
My fruit worked quickly a.n.a.lyzing his battle style before revising my battle style.
I had decided, the fatty was going to join my crew!! So of course it followed that he had to be shown how cool his captain was. I shunpo'd back infront of him, before ducking his martial arts move, my body naturally moved away from his next flurry of moves, before I initiated my own move.
I took a deep breath before whispering; [ Dagger Arts: Meteor fall], the whisper seemed to cut through the night air like a knife through b.u.t.ter, bringing with it an eerie feeling which our dear fatty felt as he swiftly jumped backwards, putting his fists infront of his chest with a grave expression on his face.
My dagger attained unreal momentum as it fell towards my enemy, colours seemed to glow from its tip as it landed before the fatty. The Earth cracked with a thunderous fit as a deep cavity formed where the dagger had just fallen. The surrounding houses had a line of cracks running through them, as a loud crash was heard in the night.
The fatty looked pale in all his fainted glory as I panted slowly. I had won, it wasn't something to be proud of I knew, but I couldn't stop a smile from growing on my face- I had gotten a new crew member!!
I chuckled softly as I put the fatty on my shoulder and ran toward the port. My first crew member had been recruited, how could I not be happy?
