One Piece: And The Original - Chapter 6

“I don’t need a friend who abandons others” Thinking about how they abandon my brother I shake my head and run after Luffy. Connections might be good, but they can’t even judge the situation. He may be able to take a hit, and isn’t scared of them, but the is a coward.

“Ace, don’t you think we should help him?” Sabo asks worried.

“He will spill the beans the moment they hurt him, we should replace this as fast as possible” Ace says while not stopping the movements of his hands as he fills the bags.

As Sabo and Ace are only thinking about where they are going to hide their treasure. I am making up a plan to save Luffy. Let’s put my training to use.

I search the grey terminal for any clues there are about where Luffy might be. Most people don’t care about what happens and who is killed. But I overheard a few who where talking about a child screaming in a hut not far from here. I took a long time finding clues and searching. The sky is already turning orange. I have to hurry up.

As I come closer to the said hut is see people running from the hut as the talk.

“Porchemy is crazy. That poor kid can’t even cry anymore, how can he talk”

My face turns dark as the kagune at my back begins to grow. It has been a while since I killed someone. Lets see how effective my body and this kagune are against people from this world. As I prepare my kagune in the combined state of Ukaku and Rinkaku a sinister smile appears on my normally apathetic face. Will I kill him slowly or fast, so many choices. If my old coworkers saw my face they would immediately scream {It’s the Bloody berserker rabbit!} I really don’t understand how I got that name… Well let’s continue.

I have trained in many ways in my passes life, I know where to hit to kill a man. Now this body will learn what it is like to kill. I can’t escape my past, so why not use it and become stronger?

I walk in the hut as I see porchemy raise a sword. Before the sword could make contact I hit his side with my Rinkaku. The hit was too strong for his body as the blasts of and lands on the ground far outside the hut. The moment he lands is the moment a hole appears on the other side of the hut. In the opening stand Sabo and Ace. They look at me and freeze. Haaah* I sigh it has been a while since people looked at me like that.

“You two idiots look after Luffy. If I see you abandon him again I will kill you” I look at them with killing intent as a make sure to empathize the killing part.

I walk out of the hut to the meat bag I had just thrown out. He is coughing up blood as he looks at me with an angry look in his eyes.

“Do you know what you did wrong?~” I ask with a slight smile on my face as I look at him.

“Don’t…cough* screw with me. Do you… cough*cough*…Really think… I am…. cough* scared of you. Hahaha…cough*cough*….don’t make me laugh.” He says while laughing and coughing.

He has a big ego doesn’t he. Let’s aim for his weak spots without killing him. Let’s break his ego. Should I cripple him? Or should I kill him? Either way is fine. Let’s make sure to make it painful. With that thought in mind I give him a big smile as I aim at his leg with a crystalized shard.

“There goes the tibia on his right” As the shard penetrates the tibia on his right leg.

“Next is the the talus on his left” As the second shard penetrates in his ankle and shatters the talus. With that his left leg is crippled. As I shoot the shards I crack my right middle finger with my thumb, while my smile widens.

“What next… How about his left hand?” As my voice falls the third shard is send to his ulna. Crippling his left arm.

By now Porchemy is breathing roughly and throwing curses. “What kind of &^^%^$*# freak are you?!” I can see the fear in his eyes as I laugh.

“Well how about we leave it at that, I’ll give you one more. For your sake, Let’s hope I can aim” As the last shard is pointed at his abdomen. The shard penetrates his body, but I made sure it didn’t hit any vitals. Just enough to make it hurt like hell. Just like he made my brother taste pain.

As I calm down it feels like a switch has been switched as I let go of the killing intent. During the ‘fight'(torture), I made sure those three didn’t see a thing with the use of my Ukaku. I turn around and walk back to see how Luffy is doing. Ace and Sabo are looking at me strangely as they know I did something to porchemy. I passed them by and ruffle Luffy’s head. “Big brother are you okay?”.

He sees me standing in front of him as he cries “sniff* sniff*…Jess… Sniff* I .. I…was so scared!… It hurt so much!” As he bawls his eyes out I give him a hug. “How about we go back? Maybe Ace and Sabo will come with us too?” I say while looking back with a threatening look in my eyes. You better do what I say or else.

As they feel the threat the nod their head and stutter “Ye..ah, L-let’s go back” They both say in union. As we walk back Luffy starts to cry again. “Ah stop with the crying. I really hate weaklings and Crybabys! And why didn’t you tell them? They would kill woman and children without even blinking” Ace says with a touch of guild and blame in his voice.

“B-But then… you wouldn’t.. be friends with me…”

“That’s better than dying, right? Why do you even want to be friends with me?” Ace says while pointing a finger at Luffy.

“Because…. because… because there is nobody else. I can’t return to windmill village, Jess is always training and I hate those bandits. If I didn’t chase you I would be all alone. Being alone is worse than being in pain!”

“What about your parents?”

“I don’t have anyone besides sis and grandpa”

“It isn’t so bad when I’m around?”

Luffy nods his head.

“And it would be bad if I weren’t around?”

He nods his head again. “Right”

“You want me to live?”

“Of course!” Luffy yells.

As Ace turns around he begins again that he hates weaklings and crybaby’s. And like that they continued to bicker al the way back home.. As I smile at the new friends we have made.
