19 Strawhat Pirates

Long Island.

A ship was docked on the shore. It was quite battered and ready to fall apart. With some fixes, the ship was still afloat.

"Oii, everyone let's set sail" An energetic teenager with a strawhat shouted to everyone aboard.

"Chopper, are Luffy and Robin ok now?" A beautiful girl with orange hair asked a cute reindeer.

"Yeah. Both have been thawed and got their energy back after three days rest." Chopper replied.

"To think we survived that, it still sends shivers down my spine." A long nosed young man said.

"Ok then prepare to set sail every one." the beautiful girl said.

"Hai, Nami Swaan~~" A blonde young main said with enthusiasm. He shifted his gaze to the person sitting with his eyes closed and said, "Oi moss head pull the sails."

"What did you say dartboard?" the man quickly got up and butt heads with the blonde youth.

"Zoro, Sanji cut it off." Nami shouted at them.

They started doing the work assigned to them after glaring at each other.

"Shishishishi~~" the teenager with strawhat just laughed looking at them.

While this was happening, a lady with black hair and deep eyes looking at them deeply from above. seemingly thinking of something.

"They are a lively bunch. Aren't they?" Suddenly a soft voice came from above her, she quickly looked up and was shocked.

A young man with white shirt, black coat and black pants standing on air with a katana tied to his waist. He was quite handsome. But that's not why the lady was shocked. She has seen the young man's attire in a photo in a newspaper, but that was with a mask. So she wasn't sure if he was the one in the news paper.

After calming down from the initial shock, she asked "Are you Kenshin..?"

As soon as she asked, the man standing in the air disappeared and stood next to her. He said with a smile, "Oh, it seems like my reputation precedes me."

Robin was caught off guard with the speed, but quickly took the fighting pose by crossing her arms after gaining some distance between them.

This commotion was first observed by Zoro. He jumped immediately to where Robin was standing and stood behind the young man with two swords out.

"Robin, do you know him?" Zoro asked robin.

"He is a famous bounty hunter named Kenshin. but I am not sure as he is not wearing the mask." Robin answered Zoro.

From below Usopp shouted, "Ahhh, bounty hunters invaded our ship."

Sanji got in front of Nami in a protective pose. Chopper was shaking along side Usopp.

Everyone was tensed except for Luffy. He was just looking at the young man from the deck.

"I ask you to leave our ship." Zoro said as he started pulling his third sword. Looking at Robin's tensed face ZOro can understand that the intruder is Strong and he don't want to pull any punches.

"Oh, Make me." The intruder said with a smile.

"As you wish." Zoro got on his 3-sword form and began his attack. The attack was quite fast and no ordinary paradise pirate can escape from this attack. But he was not in luck today. The intruder didn't even take him seriously and started to weave around the attacks calmly and jump around when needed. The fight was quite fast paced.

This went on for some time, Zoro was unable to even touch him. It looked like the intruder know exactly where the attack is coming from. It's as if he has eyes all around his body.

"Ok, that's enough." The intruder said as he disappeared from where he stood and suddenly came in front of Zoro. He caught the sword hilt which was strapped on his left side with his left hand and quickly pulled out a bit. the hilt hit Zoro's solar plexus and he suddenly fell.

"It is still too early to fight me with your current sword mastery, But you are in the right path. Don't think this as a loss, think of this as a wakeup call. You have been winning all the matches with the swordsmen till now, It is now the right time for you to stop underestimating Pirates and marines of Grandline." The intruder said as he look and zoro who was on the ground.

"...." Zoro didn't speak but looked deeply at the intruder.

Now the intruder looked at Luffy and asked, "So Luffy, why didn't you attack me?"

"Ah...You don't seem like a bad guy." Lufy said as he tilted his head to a side.

"What do you mean he is not a bad guy Luffy? He is a famous bounty hunter in first half of grand line." Nami shouted at Luffy.

"Hahahahah, you guys are really funny." The intruder laughed and said.

'Looks like he can perceive emotions from other people. This is the mark of observation haki. Even though it is not fully awakened, he should be pretty close.' He mused.

"Okay, Now let me introduce myself. My name is Toshiro. Age 17. Single. I go by the name Kenshin when I am working as a bounty hunter. My identity is a secret so, please don't tell anyone. Other wise i will have to kill you." Toshiro said as he introduced himself.

"Ah~~ he is going to kill us!!" Usopp and chopper shouted together.

"Shishishi..I am Monkey D. Luffy. I am going to be The Pirate king." Luffy said.

Toshiro looked at Luffy and then at Nami. He disappeared from where he stood and reappeared in from of Nami with only white shirt and black pants. He put both his coat and Katana in his inventory.

"Hello beautiful. It looks like you are the navigator, Are you going to next island that is being pointed by the Log pose?" Toshiro said with a charming smile.

Nami blushed a little as Toshiro was very close and he has a charming smile.

Sanji who was standing next to Nami said, "Bastard, you are tooo close to Nami Swan~~."

"Ah my apologies!!" Toshiro said as he took a step back.

Nami regained her composure and said, "Yes, that's where we are headed."

"Great!! Hey Luffy mind if I tagged along with you till the next Island?" Toshiro asked the ship captain.

"Shishishi, its okay you can board my ship." Luffy agreed right away.

"Oi Oi Oi Luffy, He is a bounty hunter, what if he kills us to claim our bounty?" Usopp asked worriedly.

"Don't worry I won't kill you as you don't have any bounty." Toshiro quickly remarked with a smile.

"Yosh!! It's decided. Set sail every one!! To the next Island!!" Luffy shouted loudly.
