4 Fenrir and the Bladework Pirates..

Takagami ushered me out of the store, and with nothing else to do, I figured I'd train.

I walked to the forest, as I am pretty sure this village doesn't have a gym.

A boulder should be good enough of a weight for some weight lifting exercises.

What I need in order to improve my swordsmanship are three things. Arm strength, legs strength, and technique.

All of this comes down to training with hea--

--Never mind.

I just got a really good idea.

A heavy sword.

Plenty of times in his life had Emiya seen sword that resembled more chunks of metal than real swords, all of which were memorized.

I materialized the heaviest of those swords, twice, grabbing one in each hand.

Ooowaaghhijjhhhhh

Shit! I dropped them..

That was way heavier than I thought, but I wouldn't give up that easily.

I miraculously picked up the swords, and began going through sword forms and swings, exhausting my whole body.

I am such a genius some times.

If I can cut a leaf in two with this fat, blunt, and heavy blade, then J should be able to something like those sword powers.

I think.

Anyway, I kept on swinging the week away, until the day when my ship was finally done.

Okay, I would have loved to say that I made some progress, but let alone cutting a leaf, I couldn't even hit one.

As soon as I swung with the swords, if you can even call them that, the wind pushed the leaves away.

At least it got easier to swing them,

Now that my one week training is done, the thing we've all been waiting for should be finished. My ship.

I walked down towards the port, calm and cool, my composed aura drew a few eyes. Unfortunately, I drew a pair of eyes I didn't want.

"Hey, hey, are you a pirate?"

I turned to the voice, the happy, annoying, voice that I already knew who it was… it was Luffy.

"Yes, I am."

His already wide eyes widened, and his mouth morphed into a huge grin.

"Are you strong??"

"Yeah, what about it, kid? I'm busy."

"Join my crew!"

"No."

"Whaaaaat? Why not? Come on, it will be fun! I will be sailing off in 2 months when I am 17!"

Only 2 months left? Hmm, I see.

"Because I will become the king of the pirates. That role is reserved for the captain of the ship, not some crew member."

"I see.. NO! I will become the king of the pirates!"

"No, you won't. I will. I already have a pirate ship prepared for the grand line."

"You do?!"

I nodded with a smirk, I suddenly felt really vain, but it's the day I start my adventure, so it's fine.

"Follow me, I will show you the difference between you, and me."

"Hey, Takagami! I'm here for the ship!"

The sound of a hammer hitting wood was all the responded me, so I figured he would be in the back, finishing up the ship.

"Follow."

Luffy nodded and we walked down the back.

"!"

The ship… looked amazing. The quality of this ship looked to even surpass the fucking Thousand Sunny! And that ship was made of Adam's Wood!

The ship was wood colored, but the wood was all shiny and smooth looking, with the special parts of the ship a being black.

On the front of the ship, like the Moby Dick, Whitebeard's ship, there was a figure carved in. But instead of a whale, it was a wolf, a large, black wolf with golden eyes.

There were two sails, with more than enough platforms for me to use, and in front of the ship stood Takagami, hammering in the seemingly last spike.

"Oi! Takagami! What the hell man, I thought we were making a ship for the grand line, not a ship good enough to sail through all the seas a hundred times over again without a scratch! You've outdone yourself!"

Ooh, no antisocial behavior here. Okay, I'll shut up.

Takagami inspected the ship for a few more seconds, before turning around with a loud, merry laugh.

"HAHAHAHA! This ship I made here shall be enough to sail you to heaven and back! 'Tis called Fenrir, the wolf that devours even the gods!"

"That's a fine name you got there. Is it ready to sail?"

Takagami nodded with a giant grin.

"Yeah, and I already filled it up with all the supplies you would need."

"Hoo~, you truly have outdone yourself with this."

"I have, right."

He pulled on a lever on the wall, and the floor started opening. The ship started lowering itself to the floor, and it entered the water and started floating out. Takagami climbed the ladder on the side, up the ship and dropped the anchor as soon as the ship stood in the sea.

Luffy still stood beside me, wide eyed and jaw dropped to the floor.

"Yeah, my ship is the best. This ship will take me to the one piece."

I started walking off, not minding Luffy anymore.

"Hey, Takagami, could you hand me an empty flag, some red, some red, some white, some brown, some black, and some dark gray color?"

"Hmm, I see. Sure, give me a second."

Today is the beginning of my adventure, and the adventure of the Bladework Pirates!
