(15) Sailing the East Blue!

[Zoro POV]

Kuina left? Why? Where was she going? I rushed towards Mr. Koushirou and asked all of these questions.

"Sensei! Why is Kuina leaving? Where was she going?"

"Calm down Zoro, she's leaving to become a pirate." Sensei said, which left me shocked.

"To become a pirate? A pirate? You've got to be joking!" A pirate, please; she was too good of a swordsman to become a pirate.

"She left to pursue her dream; becoming the world's strongest swordsman. A title currently held by Mihawk, who is currently a pirate."

Really? A pirate holds such a grand title?! Tsk! If even some guy named Mihawk could become the "world's strongest swordsman", than why couldn't I?

Mr. Koushirou stared at me and shook his head, and gave me an expression that showed his disappointment.

"You've become cocky huh, it seems my discipline hasn't been working!" Sensei slightly smiled; his aura changing from one of pure kindness, to one that made my hairs tingle!

"S-sensei? SENSEI!"

[Avery POV]

At the helm, I suddenly shivered. Did Zoro piss Mr. Koushirou off again? Hah, god protect his young soul.

"Weather getting to you? Huh, captain?" Aoki suddenly asked, approaching me from behind.

"I'm good, you two go relax. I'll call you once we've arrived at our first destination. Also don't call me captain, it feels weird."

"Haha, whatever you say captain." Aoki said as she walked away.

System, is there a function to show my current strength in the world?

[Yes, there is host. View strength level in status screen]

I nodded and opened my status screen.

Mid Shichibukai? Hmm, that's very strong for the East Blue. Well scratch that, it's very strong for all the Blues and New World.

I guessed my strength was around the same level as Blackbeard, before he killed Whitebeard and stole his Gura Gura No Mi.

Another person on my hitlist, Blackbeard. His whole character was really interesting to me at first, but now I hate him with a burning passion.

He was basically the one to start the Marineford arc by capturing Ace on Banaro Island.

If I guessed correctly, than he was still with Whitebeard. It was probably around the time he stole Commander Thatch's fruit though; the fruit being the Yami Yami No Mi (Dark Dark).

As I was lost in thought sailing, a rather large ship popped up in my view. I looked up and found a tall man with a weird face, six short ponytails with rainbow colors, and a lanky body.

"Spiel?" I questioned. Spiel the Hexagon, the main antagonist of the Romance Dawn arc; his bounty was 3.5 million, pretty high for somewhere like the East Blue.

"Aoki! Kuina!" I called the two of them out, I wasn't scared or anything but his crew was significantly larger than mine and he'd most definitely attack.

Our ships approached each other and were finally right next to each other.

"Oi! You there, white hair! You seen a large bird fly around here?" Spiel shouted, he was surrounded by his crew.

"You know I think I did see a big bird fly around here. It's in my stomach now though." Spiel's face suddenly turned red.

"You ate the Monster bird Roc?!"

"Yeah what about it, you know you'd be paid well if you were a clown. Hey it's not too late to switch occupations, I don't think you're cut out to be a pirate!" I knew I had pissed him off bad, Spiel and the rest of his crews jaws all dropped and Spiel's face turned even redder than before.

"Me?! Not cut out to be a pirate?! Go, go get that kid!" Spiel suddenly ordered, I jumped on his ship and landed in the middle of all of them.

They suddenly all jumped up and prepared to attack me.

"Watch who you mess with kid!" Spiel suddenly said which made me laugh.

A pressure was suddenly released from me, all of the pirates who tried to attack me were all knocked out shocking Spiel.

"Wha-what the hell?!"

"W-wake up! What are you on the ground for?!"

"I didn't knock you out huh? You're surprisingly a little strong willed, well no matter. Enjoy you're rest." A second later I appeared behind him and hit him with my sword's sheathe, knocking him out.

[Aoki POV Moments Ago]

Big brother suddenly called out me and Kuina, we both came up and saw a big ship. There was a man with a really weirdly shaped face on the ship as well, I looked up at Avery and it looked like they were talking.

Oh wait! I think I've seen this guy before! On a wanted poster, I'd never forget that head. His bounty was I think three million something.

Will Avery be okay? I suddenly saw Avery jump over to there ship.

"Are you crazy?!" I shouted, but Avery didn't here me.

The crowd of pirates surrounded Avery, blocking my view of him. I almost shed a tear, I thought I had lost him but the pirates were all suddenly knocked out!

The weird headed pirate was still standing, well he was Avery knocked him out with his sheathe now though.

[Avery POV]

I thought I heard someone shout when I jumped over to Spiel's ship, I don't know I must be hearing things.

"Avery! Are you crazy?!" Aoki suddenly shouted, nevermind I definitely knew who had shouted.

"Relax Aoki, I-I had it all planned out." I lied and she noticed it immediately.

"Even if you had a plan, what if you weren't able to take out the pirates?!"

"Umm, I guess you're right"

"When am I not? Hehe"

"Plus, you didn't even leave any pirates for me and Kuina. We wanted to fight too!"

"Hey! It's not my fault I'm too strong, you got to be quicker than that than!"

"So what do we do with them?" Aoki asked.

I don't know, in the show Luffy just left after beating them and the marines knew about what happened so I'll do the same.

I wonder what nickname I'll get, I was a tad bit excited about that. Maybe the white haird flash, or the white haired Emperor!
