6 First kills and Pussyfoot manuever

The fight started with me using the senses that I have allowed me to the maximum, especially my eyes to find out the weak point of the encirclment around me.

I could defeat those people first so that I will be able to keep all my enemies in front of me rather than in the back so that I will never be caught off guard by an attack from my back.

I started countering then coming from front one by one with kicks and punches to the chest and jaws, taking them down one by one until they started to hesitate,

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YO...URGH"

I punched the guy trying to speak in the chest and threw him towards the other pirates, using his body as distraction to take down a few more pirates who where just standing there and gaping.

In this way I trained my basic fighting skills to make up for my lack of actual fighting experience, slowly learning crowd control techniques like where to position in the crowd for the fastest and most efficient take downs.

A few minutes past and the formerly 100 strong pirate group has reduced to around 40 when I noticed that all the pirates near me have been taken down and the others including jango and meowban brothers where watching from the sidelines.

The lull in the battle finally let me calm down my battle hungry mind to finally register the aftermath of my rampage. Dozens of people, with broken necks and crushed ribs choking on their blood is what greeted my mind.

The REALITY of everything hit me suddenly as I felt unbearably nauseous. My mind kept screaming at me,

'OH GOD! THIS IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING!!'

repeatedly. The world suddenly seems more real than anything I ever felt even in my previous life.

The nausea soon overtook me and I threw up in front of the rest of the pirates.

Jango suddenly started speaking,

"Kid, you are pretty strong, but I can see that you are new to this whole business. Why don't you join us kid, the captain might forgive you if you beg for it. The moment you attacked captain Kuro's ship you were dead anyway"

"YEAH KID! GIVE UP", Meowban brothers

I forcefully suppressed my emotions using my meditative state and calmed myself down. I decided to panic and think about the whole new revelation later after the fight. I looked back at Jango,

"You will be the first stepping stones for my journey to the top of the world"

I started to walk slowly towards them allowing Jango to hypnotize the crew to make them stronger and more motivated to fight me. I let him take his time and once he was done I rushed towards them.

The remaining pirates with feral smiles and crazed eyes started rushing towards me with even more enthusiasm.

I was disappointed though to find out that even though they have become a bit more stronger, they were easier to handle since all of them rushing me at the same time just led to them stumbling and losing balance stepping on each other's foot.

I took care out the rest of the crew pretty easily one by one until almost none where left when I sensed someone coming towards me from above.

I looked upto see a crazed looking Buchi drop kicking towards me. I decide to block the kick with my hands crossed. The strength of the kick though was much stronger than expected, being much more than the strength I had allowed for myself. The weight behind the kick was atleast 200 doriki.

The kick launched me completely through the ship into the water under the ship. I didn't really have a scratch on me since I am much more durable than even my strength suggests. My pride though, took quite a beating.

I took note to also watch for the surroundings and strength of foothold in future fights and decide my actions accordingly.A dodge would have been much better in this case.

I was quite annoyed and mentally tired though at this point so I decided to finish this fast, I increased my strength to 100 doriki and expanded my senses a bit and swam to the surface and jumped onto the ship.Buchi seems to have relaxed, presumably thinking that the fight is over.

I quickly launched towards Buchi destroying the wood under my feet and punched him in the chin before he was even able to react to my presence. A quick follow up roundhouse kick to Sham who was rushing towards me with his silly run launched him out of the ship.

I walked towards jango who was gaping at me, to just finish him off, when I sensed something quite fast reached towards me. I was barely able to lean backwards to dodge the swipe of a huge sword claw....thing and jumped backwards.

Kuro seem to have reached the ship and was looking at his whole crew lying on the ground defeated, totally composed and nonchalant.

I gotta hand it to the guy, he nails the cool evil persona to the T.

"Jango, you have failed me. What use do you have to me if you can't even defeat a small kid?"His cool collected way of talking seem to send a shiver through his and even my spine. Daayum this guy has that charisma.

He looked towards me,

"You have potential kid, What is your name? I can give you one chance to join me and maybey we could role the East sea together or die."

"My name is Liam Robbins and I sadly have to reject both of your kind offers. I plan on becoming the greatest in the world rather just a tiny East Blue."

"So be it.."

He started to move slowly left and right, I guess he knows I'm very strong so is going all out and is using his strongest technique from the get go.

I mentally let go of all my senses and used my observation haki to concentrate on his movements. He seemed to be using a special footwork and kicking the ground a few times very at specific points of the footwork.

The whole swaying from left to right seem to be some kind of crutch to do what he does which he otherwise couldn't have done without more strength and speed.I guess that's what luffy meant when he said there where too many wasted movements.

The final kick seemed to release all the energy of the previous kicks launching him towards me. I could see him come from miles away now that I have unrestrained my haki and I decided to just end it since I have already memorized what I want.

I grabbed on his sword claw thing, broke it into little pieces and punched him in the stomach with around a third of my strength, since I'm not exactly ready to see exploding guts yet.

Kuro was launched into the cabins spitting blood all the way. I could feel my hand ruppturing some of his organs and boy it was disgusting. I felt the old nausea which I got with my first kill again.

Jango couldn't believe his eyes,

"Wha....?"

I didn't bother answering him since I was not really in the mood to talk anymore and swiftly knocked him out.

I collected the bodies of Kuro,Jango and the Meowban brothers all of whom I know have a combined bounty of 30 million and tired them up and dragged then towards the local marine office as I needed the money to buy a new shop since kuro's ship is unusable after the fight.

The marine officer seemed to be hiding in his office scared, when he heard the black cat pirates where in town since they where one of the strongest crews in East blue.

I kicked open the door to his office and deposited the four in front of him,

"That's a total of 30 million beli right there, pay up!"

He was stunned for a moment and stumbled on himself and fell. He soon got up awkwardly,

"I'll have to inform my superiors, Please wait"

He started to use a den den mushi, fascinating things really, to call Loguetown since it seemed to be the headquarters of the East Blue region of Marines and informed his superiors.

The guy on the other side seemed to be a newly instated marine captain smoker who after hearing that a kid defeated Kuro commanded him to try and recruit me.

He finished the call and turned towards me,

" You have a crazy high potential kid, how about you join the Marines to make some real impact and serve justice"

"Not interested"I glared at him since i was quite tired and just wanted to lie down.

He got intimidated by my stare and quickly stopped that line of questioning.

He took some papers to fill in my name, age and took a picture.He reached into a safe in the office, but the money in a bag and passed it onto me.

I took the bag and quickly moved to a nearby hotel to buy a room and flopped onto the bed, finally deciding to FREAK OUT.
