"Okay. Now that everyone is gone let's get you the hell out of here." I tell the imprisoned townsfolk.
"Who are you?" Medaka's dad asks me in behalf of everyone.
"Name's Dravde. I came with your daughter and the two others. They just weren't smart enough to think things through." I rub the bridge of my nose and sigh.
"Anyways, before anyone gets back let's get you guys out of here. Gimme one of those dynamites and step back deeper into the towers workshop and take cover."
I take a torch out of the wall on my side and light up the fuse dropping the dynamite next to the metal bars that block half the workshop.
*BOOOOOM!!!* With a loud boom the bars break and leave a nice big hole where the townsfolk can get out.
"Okay, get a move on! They definitely heard that! Grab any tool or weapon that can be used for battle and don't forget the dynamite! It will be the best weapon out of all but don't get yourselves killed with it!"
I instruct the townsfolk as I take a shovel and tuck as many sticks of dynamite in my pockets and between my pants as I could get.
'Shit. I need to restock my weapons after the boat blew up.'
Suddenly we hear hurried footsteps getting closer. 'Shit they are coming.'
"Prepare for battle! Don't use dynamite too much before we are all out of the tower! I don't want to the damn tower to collapse on us!"
We start battling against the pirates and thankfully not that many came but we all know it is a matter of time until more come. We slowly push ourselves out towards the tower's courtyard and finally we start using our dynamite to thin the groups of pirates.
[TNT, I'M DYNAMITE~! TNT, I WILL WIN THE FIGHT~!] Lyrics ring in my head as I toss dynamite towards my enemies before fighting back those that got too close for comfort.
[TNT, WATCH ME EXPLODE~!] I crack some heads with my shovel as explosions ring around me. Suddenly another big group of pirates gets over but they are armed with guns.
Leading them is man who wears a crab-like armor on his back. The armor on his back is attached with shoulder gauntlets with large crab claws. He also wears a red shirt underneath his armor, blue pants, and a blue cape. He has purple hair tied into a pony tail and a purple beard. I'm told that the man is Ganzack the leader of these pirates.
Medaka's father tries to attack him but is shot on his arm and he fall to his knees clutching his arm.
"You need to learn your place. Laugh!" Suddenly Ganzack orders his men to laugh. 'I guess that's his gimmick.' [Not the crab armor?] '... Laugh gimmick, the laugh, like everyone else in this story.'
"I'm not the same as other pirates. Other pirates only steal fortunes, but as for me, I steal fortunes after ripening them!"
'What the fuck is that supposed to mean?'
"You are mere livestock for that purpose! And I have no use for wild livestock!" Ganzack aims at Medaka's father and shoots.
But suddenly a tiny figure jumps in front of the kneeling man and blocks the bullet with her armor. "Medaka!" The father shouts.
'When did she...? Never mind, everything is bullshit in this world.' [Don't mind, don't mind.]
"Quit bullying Papa!" 'Yeah, that will help...'
"You. How did you undo the locks? But never mind. I'll kill you and your father." The crab claws move and open up to reveal blades that move to target Medaka. "I wonder, will your armor be able to withstand my pincers?"
Suddenly a hand stretches out and tries to punch Ganzack but he evades. The hand stretches back and we see Luffy, Zoro and Nami standing on the side. Ganzack starts shouting at Nami for betrayal 'Aah, classic Nami.' while Luffy starts calling Ganzack a crab and threatens to kick his ass for insulting his precious hat.
Now that the trio appeared the situation has changed back to our favor and now the pirates are in trouble.
"Heh. You think you can oppose this Ganzack-sama? YOU PITIFUL FOOLS!" [GERMAN TECHNOLOGY IS THE WORLDS GREATEST!] 'NOT NOW!'
He makes a weird ass pose and the ground beneath his group explodes and sends us flying back.
"D-Did he blow himself up!?" "How would I know!?" Zoro and Nami wonder what the mad man tried to achieve with such a suicidal move. As the smoke clears up, we see a humongous armored battleship with the Devil's Tower attached to it being towed by the helmet wearing Sea King.
"Were we building that thing all this time?" The townsfolk look in disbelief at the ship that was blown free from the island it was built from. *BOOOOOOM!!!* Suddenly the Devil's Tower launches another missile and as it lands on a part of the island. *BOOOOOOOM!!!!* The island lost a huge chunk of it.
"Zoro, let's go!" "Yeah!" Luffy and Zoro prepare to board the boat.
"Me too!" Medaka runs over but is stopped by her father and he tells her that she doesn't need to do anything dangerous anymore.
"Okay, here goes!" Luffy stretches his arm towards the ship as Zoro grabs a hold of him. Just as they are about to stretch away Medaka grabs Zoro and in panic, I try to stop her and get dragged along.
"SHIT!" 'It's gonna be a real rough landing!' [Brace for impact!]
We land really smoothly all in a standing position to my great confusion.
'Isn't it classic joke that everyone gets a rough landing and hits their heads when using Luffy as a transportation? What the hell has been up with this day.'
Luffy starts fighting against Ganzack, jumping all over the ship while me and Zoro are left with the grunts on the deck. I grab a sword and a pistol from one of the fallen grunts and start fighting them back with more vigor.
'I have a NICE idea!' I pull out one of the dynamites and stick a part of the fuse into the muzzle and shoot. The fuse lights up and I throw the dynamite at the grunts.
*BOOOM!!!* "NICE!" And I started blasting dynamites everywhere.
We finally finish off all the grunts but the Sea King turns towards us. As we prepare to fight there is a sudden explosion from the front of the Sea King and soon after another and the Sea King falls. The ship starts to sink from all the explosions and me and Zoro decide to jump on a lifeboat while wondering where Luffy is.
*BOOOOOOOM!!!* The Devil's Tower shoots one last missile towards the middle of the island where the town is located but before it lands, we see Ganzacks figure being Gomu Gomu Pistol'd straight to the falling missile and exploding high in the air.
"If that didn't kill the man then I don't know what would..." I look at the huge firework like explosion in the sky.
…
"All they had was a bunch of weapons. Not a trace of any treasure." Nami slumps down on our new boat we got from the people we saved.
"Don't worry about it. We managed to restock our food." Zoro says as he looks at the humongous pile of food as Luffy just stuffs himself full of food.
"And I got my weapons back and bit more." I add on as I put my new sword, knife, pistol and rifle along with their ammo away.
"Luffy!" Medaka runs over first time without her armor on.
"Who are you?" *SMACK* I facepalm as Luffy asks her.
"I'm Medaka! Here, this is for you!" She forcefully puts a life preserver on Luffy, trapping his arms and making him unable to get it off himself.
"Now you'll be safe even if you can't swim." I remember how bitter she was when she had to drag Luffy in water to our lifeboat and a smirk creeps on my face as I see Luffy struggling to get free.
"Looks good on you, Hammer Luffy." "HAH!" I give a quick laugh of mockery towards Luffy as Medaka starts mocking Luffy more and more.
As Luffy gets up and struggles to remove the life preserver Zoro notices and motions Nami and me to look at the bottom of the life preserver. At the bottom where Luffy can't see "Thank you." is written in big letters.
After a bit of goodbyes, we finally set sail. "Yosh, let's go! To the Grand Line!" Luffy shouts posing but still stuck with the life preserver.
"Yeah!" "Yep!" Zoro and Nami shout in eager affirmation.
"Do you need to shout the same thing every time?" I say, tired of this routine.
"Luffy! Become a great pirate!" Medaka shouts as we get farther away from the docks.
"You bet!" He replies back... still stuck.
'Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you... THE PIRATE KING!' [Oy vey.]
And here ends the terror of Ganzack.
