Little Genius

As soon as the ship docked 2 men and a woman walked off.

[Isn't that…]

The man at the front had strawberry blonde hair and little black goatee. He was wearing a long navy-blue jacket with the collar up and only the bottom half of the buttons done up showing off his well-built chest.

The other was a tall man but his most prominent feature was his curly black moustache. He had thick black hair and a short, stocky neck. He was dressed in a red pirate captains jacket, beneath his jacket he was sporting a blue shirt and had a yellow sash wrapped around his waist. He had a cravat around his neck and dark blue pants and black boots.

The woman was tall and slender with long and wavy strawberry-blonde hair. She wore a pink hibiscus in the left side of her head and freckles on her face. She was wearing along short-sleeved, pale blue dress that reached her feet.

As soon as they felt his gaze the 2 men looked in his direction.

[Sharp as expected Rayleigh and Roger.]

Roger smiled slightly, whilst Rayleigh momentarily failed to hide the shock in his face.

Seeing them looking in the same direction the woman couldn't help but follow their line of sight and she didn't even try to hide the look of surprise in his face.

She left Roger and Rayleigh and ran straight towards him.

As she neared Orion looked straight at her and played ignorant.

"You look like my dad…"

Hearing his immature voice brought a smile to her face and a tear to her eye.

"I'm your father's baby sister, Portgas D. Rouge."

"Aunty Rouge."

Hearing that she leapt at him in an attempt to lift the boy into her arms but when she did she was shocked to feel her arms go right through him.

This time even Roger failed to hide his surprise.

"Logia?"

Orion was about to apologise as he did that instinctively when a giant golden scaled creature shot at Rouge.

"STAY AWAY FROM HIM!"

Orion immediately knew it was Roman coming to his "rescue". He was going to shout and tell him to stop when he saw Rouge's hand turn black as it went towards the baby dragon.

[Not good, she's using Haki!]

He channelled as much wind as he could into his hands and feet and leapt forward to meet her palm before it connected with Roman.

[I don't need to block it I just need to redirect it.]

Thinking to there he gathered the wind around his palms and thrust one towards her arm and the other towards Roman's body in an attempt to slow him down.

The wind from his left palm threw her palm off course and the wind from his right slowed Roman's charge, just enough to avoid being hit by Rouge's palm but not enough to stop his charge completely.

The next thing he knew, Orion had been tackled by a baby but still giant (in comparison to him) dragon.

"Orion are you alright?!"

"I will be as soon as you get off me!"

"Haha ooh right sorry."

As he said that he got off him but still stood in front of him as if protecting him from being attacked.

As they were conversating between themselves, Rayleigh, Rouge and Roger were all looking at Orion as if he were a monster.

Rayleigh couldn't help but mutter.

"That boy's something else!"

Roger nodded his head in agreement.

"As expected of that man's son."

It wasn't only them who noticed what happened, there were two men watching lazily from a distance.

"I thought you weren't going to start Orion's training till he turned 5."

"I haven't…"

"You mean he did that without any training?"

"Yeah…"

"I knew he was incredibly clever but who knew he had such incredible fighting instincts."

"…"

The two men were naturally Marcus and Walter.

Both men were shocked at Orion's display. They knew he was incredibly clever as he learnt to speak at 6 months, learnt to read and write by the time he was a year old and had already finished all the books in both their studies already.

But it wasn't till just now did they realise he was fighting genius as well.

"Your son's future is simply limitless."

Hearing anyone complement your child would put a smile on any parents face.

"Haha I'd expect no different from my son!"

Walter just rolled his eyes at his shamelessness. He quickly changed the subject.

"I think we should go greet our visitors, don't you?"

Not knowing that everyone was shocked at his display Orion carried on his conversation with Roman.

"You can change back now, they weren't going to hurt us I just used my devil fruit on instinct."

Roman didn't change back immediately instead he asked.

"Who are they?"

Orion didn't answer he just pointed towards Roger.

"Ehhh, Dad? Wait, how did you grow a moustache so quickly and why do you look younger than normal?!"

As soon as he finished he felt someone slap the back of his head.

"Oww, who hit me!"

"Did you just call me old?!"

"Ehhh, Dad? Why are their two of you? I think you hit me too hard!"

As he said that he felt another slap on the back of his head.

"Ouch, why did you hit me again?"

"Look closer and tell me if you still think there are two of us."

Hearing that he took a look at the man beside him then a look at the man walking towards them.

"Who are you and why do you look at my dad?"

Hearing him Orion could only shake his head helplessly.

"If I'm not mistaken he should be your uncle, Gol D. Roger, or as the rest of the world knows him, King of the Pirates!"
