Chapter 4

So, I had spent a few more months as a bounty hunter making my name well known in this sea.

A week ago it was my birthda, and after going through 3 days of continuing holidays I decided to go out and find more pirates to capture.

Being a bounty hunter not only gave me the money for my future ship which by the way I already had in mind how I wanted it to be built.

Being a bounty hunter was giving me combat experience, quite a bit but still experience, I was also using the techniques learned in my training to get more used to it. I'm glad to say that I recently got my first glimpse of Observation Haki, nothing extremely powerful like Coby sensing all of Marineford's war or something monstrous like Enel being able to know everything that was going on on Sky Island.

No, it was something simpler, I could feel the presences around me in a few meters.

If I concentrated enough I could make an image in my mind of what was going on around me, it was something like the Hyuga Byakugan with a 360 degree view, but it was still not something that would serve me for a high degree battle, if he could predict some pawn movements in weak pirate crews, but it still wasn't something he could use against someone like Crocodile or someone at that level.

I was also thinking about what devil fruit to look for for me, unfortunately I did not know how Kurohige was able to get the devil fruits from a person who had already consumed it.

If I knew how to do it, my objective would be clear, Enel.

I mean how the hell can you waste a power as great as lightning? Maybe luffy was immune to lightning but damn luffy wouldn't be anywhere near lightning speed, how difficult was it to use a speed greater than sound and pierce luffy with the golden spear? Also, the beam was 5 times hotter than the surface of the sun, hell it's a shame not to get that fruit.

That thought process led me to wonder how many such powerful fruits are there and their user is completely incompetent? And that led me to a thought.

Mera Mera no Mi.

Hell it's the fire lodge, why couldn't Ace's flames even reach the temperature of the sun's surface? The magma has a temperature between 800 ° C and 1200 ° C while the surface of the sun has around 6000 ° C, Akainu must have been a puppy compared to Ace ... but hey, I guess there are people who do not train their fruit and they just use it as it is.

Having thought about the above, I decided to eat the Mera Mera, my goal was to at least obtain a temperature in my flames as high as the sun's surface, that means that my mere presence should be enough to evaporate at least one lake in a matter of seconds. and kill people just by touching them.

Well, I still have time before Luffy begins his adventure, which is the time I chose to be a pirate, I want to be part of the worst generation.

A little over a day ago I had eaten the Mera Mera and I must say that for a moment I felt extremely powerful experiencing its power, but then I remembered Akainu and Aokiji.

Returning to the present I was near a small archipelago, honestly I had lost myself, it rarely happens to me but even so I am a bit used to it and that is why I had plenty of food in the little boat.

 I can sail normally from one island to another, but you just got distracted and lost, after all I am not a navigator. I approached one of the islands, the one that seemed bigger and I decided to leave the boat at the dock.

I walked for a while until I reached a small village, everyone was looking at me strangely. Soon I saw a face that I recognized from the anime, the guy who wore a policeman on Nami's island, I don't remember his name.

I guess I know where I am, I didn't expect to face Arlong just yet, but I guess I should take the opportunity.

"Hello, are these the Conomi Islands?" I approached the guy and asked him.

"That's right, I am Genzo and this is the Cocoyasi village, what is your intention in these islands?" Genzo looked very tense while talking to me, most likely he does not want me to cause problems for the village.

"I'm looking for Arlong <the saw>, I'm interested in getting his reward" I told him simply, as I watched Genzo start to sweat.

"Please go away, don't get us in trouble, Arlong will blame us for your appearance ... just go away and don't come back boy" The guy had various feelings running through his gaze, from fear to anger.

"Look, I can kill Arlong with relative ease, after all I did kill the entire crew of Kuro <The One with a Thousand Plans>" I said that to convince him of my power.

"Are you that bounty hunter everyone calls the White Devil? Please help us defeat Arlong." He quickly began to beg for my help, annoying guy.

"Yeah, if you just show me the location, I'll take care of the rest" I made him shut up and his face lit up.

"Come on, I'll take you there"

Time jump

After a few minutes walking we arrived at Arlong Park, honestly a nice base.

"There is only one thing I want to ask you, there is a girl who is obliged to work for Arlong, please do not hurt her" Genzo implored me for Nami's life.

"Very good, although that will have a cost that they will pay me once I finish with this" I was not going to miss the opportunity to get more money, I know that Nami had enough.

"Yeah sure, I have no problem with that" Genzo seemed happy that he assured him that Nami would not get hurt.

"Now take a few steps back" He did what I told him and I began to focus on my observation Haki, there was no one near the door so that calmed me down for what I was going to do.

"ENDAN"

Putting my palm forward I expelled a highly powerful jet of fire in the shape of a giant bullet, perhaps 1.80 meters high and 1.80 meters wide as well.

The Arlong Park gates were blown up by my attack, they were totally destroyed with some parts still burning where they fell.

"I liked that post. What do you guys think?" I said this as I walked slowly into Arlong Park with everyone's gaze on me.

"Dirty human !! Take care of him, "Arlong roared as his face grimaced in anger.

Soon all the fishmen present threw themselves at me, I wanted to test my lodge powers so I didn't try to dodge and just focused on the transformation of my body into the fire element.

The first Fishman who came to me threw his fist towards my chest, while consciously my body turned to fire, without even losing its human appearance.

The Fish-Man's fist went through my chest, strangely I didn't feel any pain but at the same time I was aware that I had something foreign to my body lodged in my chest.

When the Fishman withdrew his hand as fast as he could I realized that his hand had second degree burns.

I suppose my current temperature must be between 80 ° C and 100 ° C, if I had been an ordinary human being that burn would be a third degree burn, but Fishmen are stronger and more resistant by nature.

"Ahhhhhh, Arlong this guy has an Akuma no mi" The guy was very scared, after all he is very hurt and I did not even attack him.

"WHAT!!? Damn it, and it seems to be a lodge… why the hell did it have to be a lodge "Arlong looked extremely frustrated and all the other Fishmen were very scared, now that I remember these guys come from the Grand Line but it is obvious that they have no control of Haki, if that was the case, Luffy would not have been a problem for them.

"Well this will be faster now, at the same time more painful for you" I told them as my arms caught fire.

As everyone stepped back and I began to be covered in fire from head to toe causing nothing to be seen other than a human-shaped flame.

Then I just let my eyes and my smile be visible through the fire.

"Welcome to hell DEHAHAHAHAHA"

Pov Nami:

Here I was again, in this damn room drawing maps for Arlong, I never thought I'd start to hate what I love the most.

But soon, in a few years I will be able to raise the money to buy the island from Arlong and we will all be rid of that damn pirate.

As I continued drawing I heard an explosion and quickly ran to the window to see what was happening.

The entrance to Arlong Park was destroyed, with a guy standing where the entrance was and Genzo was a little behind him.

I recognize the guy, he became very famous in recent months hunting pirates with great rewards being Captain Kuro the greatest enemy he has faced.

Soon the Fishmen attacked the bounty hunter and my slight hope disappeared at that moment, after all no one can stand up to the Fishmen.

But to my surprise the one who got hurt was the first Fishman to attack, his arm burned from going through the guy's body.

What followed after that would be something I would never forget, so many emotions ran through me from fear to happiness to satisfaction.

The Fishmen were burned in such a way that many would be seriously unrecognizable but Arlong and his commanders did not suffer burns to their faces, the safest way to claim their rewards.

But that did not prevent the rest of their bodies from being burned in a very grotesque way. After that Genzo called me and I ran out to hug him.

Pov Kaiza

At this moment I was calling the marine base of Shells Town, I knew that if I called the nearest base the one who would come would be Nezumi, and I honestly did not want to kill any Marin yet.

After a while I contacted Captain Jackson and informed him about Arlong and Nezumi, he said he would take care of it.

So for now I decided to rest in the current Arlong Park, where the Fishmen were locked up and I was counting the money they had.

Damn shit if it was a lot of money, there were about 100 people joining the two villages, counting adults and children.

Arlong asked for 100,000 Bellys per adult and 50,000 Bellys per child, that was monthly and Arlong had been here for 5 years.

It took me almost a whole day to count all the money that there was, being in little more than 400,000,000 of Bellys, it is obvious that I would not give a single penny to this village for that they had Nami's money.

Oh I must also say that I was given 5,000,000 Bellys for not hurting or betraying Nami who was part of Arlong's crew.

With all that money I have about 480,000,000 Bellys, this is including the money I have earned from my job as a bounty hunter.

(Remember that with the treasure and the rewards of the pirates of Kuro I already had little more than 55 million Bellys)

That together with the reward of the pirates of Arlong that were 42,500,000 gave a total of more than 500 million Bellys.

My goal now is simple, once in Grand Line I will go to Water 7, there I will ask them to build me a ship as big as the one with the white beard, but that it is made of Adam's treasure tree.

Time jump

1 month

Loguetown

I was currently eating a delicious breakfast at a restaurant in the city center. But even at this moment my observation Haki was still working at maximum power, my improvement in it was amazing I could feel all the presences in a radius of 600 meters.

I have also been able to predict the attacks of most pirates that I face, even if they are shots from behind.

As I continued to eat breakfast I noticed that a strong presence came into my range, it was much stronger than any subject in East Blue could be.

I left the place where I was eating and then went to where I felt this presence.

The presence kept walking and I followed it until we reached the city dock.

There was a pirate ship, which I honestly couldn't recognize the jolly roger.

But if I recognized the guy who had followed here, it was Ace.

"Very good guys, get ready to leave for the Grand Line, we already have all the supplies" he had a big smile on his face.

"You plan to leave for the Grand Line but you don't even have a bounty on your head" I said this to get his attention.

"HAHAHA it's true that I don't have a reward yet but I'm sure of my strength" Ace focused all his attention on me.

"How about we have a little fight? After all I am the most powerful man in East Blue "I told him while giving him a smirk.

"YOU ARE TIGER D. KAIZA !!!?" In some strange way his eyes looked like stars.

"That's right, that's me" I like the fact that everyone knows my name wherever I go.

"I have a proposal for you, what do you think if we make a bet? If I win you will join my pirate crew. "Ace seemed excited about this bet.

"I guess that's fine, what if I win what will my reward be?" It is more than certain that I will win.

"You can hand me over to the Navy." Ace seemed confident, I guess he's never lost a fight.

"Idiot you don't have a reward on your head" I thought it would be more mature, but I still need to grow more.

"It's true HAHAHAHA" Ace just rubbed the back of his neck while laughing.

"Well it doesn't matter, let's just fight"

"Alright, here I come !!" Ace darted towards me with a punch aimed at my face, which I easily stopped with my hand.

"Not hard enough" I pulled Ace towards me and kneed him in the stomach, took a few steps back as he took a breath.

"There is no doubt that you are very powerful ... but now I will go seriously" his speed this time was greater as he jumped and tried to kick me in the face, easily dodged it and placing my hands on the ground I proceeded to turn on my head and double-kick Ace in the chest, sending him flying into the air.

Then using Kamisori appeared on top of him, and proceeded to kick him in the back making him fall face-on to the ground.

"You still haven't made me use all my strength boy" was the only thing I said as I landed in front of him.

"Ace ... my name is Ace" Ace slowly got up until he was fully standing.

"Well ... Ace, I guess you already realized that you are not my rival" I said the obvious.

"Yes, that's true but I will never run from a fight, so I will only leave once one of us wins" Ace proceeded to attack me with extremely fast and strong punches and kicks.

Avoiding them was child's play for me, although this helped me to practice my observation Haki, Ace has been the strongest enemy that I have faced until now.

After continuing to dodge and give him a blow from time to time that made him fall to the ground for a few seconds, I got bored with the fight.

Before finishing I must try to use the armor Haki, I have not advanced almost anything in that field. Using my highest concentration, I tried to muster all my will in the next strike.

But at the same time I didn't want to use all my strength, I could kill Ace with one blow of all my strength.

When I threw my punch for a brief second I could see and feel the black flash in my hand, as soon as my fist touched Ace's face his eyes rolled white and he fell unconscious in front of the boat.

His crew, who have been seeing everything so far, quickly come down to pick him up and take him to the ship.

A guy I recognized as Masked Deuce stared at me expectantly at my next move.

"Tell Ace we'll see you in the future, I hope he gets stronger" I turned around and started walking towards the city, wanting to visit a bar with good girls.

End of chapter.

I know the fights look boring for now, but until Kaiza enters the Grand Line, more specifically the new world, she will not find someone to fight her.

I have decided who will be the Vice Captain of the pirates Akuma (Kaiza's crew), I was thinking about him being a swordsman but after reconsidering I have chosen that the Vice Captain is the doctor, he will have a devil fruit.

I'll get a swordsman later, I don't know.

Good news guys, I've already got 96 volumes of the one piece manga, I'll catch up on the series soon.

And other news that is bad and good Hahahaha.

My girlfriend broke me up, so I will have more time to read the manga.

This chapter had been in mind for several days, but passing my thoughts to written words is quite difficult, also the subject with my girlfriend discouraged me for a while but I am better and more willing to write.

I thank those who comment, I hope you liked the chapter :D.

Until next time.
