Chapter 4

was standing next to 500 recruits on the ship.

Some of the recruits gave me a mocking glare probably because of my age.

"Recruits, we will be attacking a small island inhabited by pirates. We will exterminate all pirates on the island." the Magma Admiral ordered.

"Yes, sir!" responded all the recruits including me.

"Get to work!" he stated.

"Yes!"

Killing pirates.

This time I can't catch them by freezing them.

My first kill.

It makes me feel uneasy but I have to be okay.

"What's wrong, kid? Did you get scared?" mocked one of the recruits.

"Guess you could say I am scared but that doesn't make me useless in battle. Don't wet your pants when we attack them fellow recruit." I retorted.

"Tch. Cocky brat."

Can't they just leave a kid alone?

"Kid, follow me." Admiral Akainu ordered.

"Yes," I replied.

Always calling me kid, it's getting on my nerves.

I followed him to his office

I entered his office along with and went to sit in the chair in front of his bureau.

"Kid, I have 2 important things to tell you."

I tilted my head sideways and gave him a questioned look.

"You will take out the 5 captains ruling the island. All five of them have a bounty of 5.000.000 Belly. They are just small you can take them out with ease."

"Yes, sir! What about the other thing?" I asked him.

He cleared his throat.

"The World Government implemented some spies among the recruit to see progress and maybe offer you a job there. The World Government is good but sometimes suspicious. Be careful of your decisions." He explained.

"I will be sure carefully make my decisions, sir," I replied.

"Understood. We don't want your grandfather rampaging because you did something stupid." He told while rubbing his forehead

"I will mind that," I said while grinning sheepishly

"You're dismissed."

"Wait, I have a question," I stated.

"What's it?" he asked impatiently.

"When will stop calling me kid? I have a name, you know?" I asked while pouting.

"When you become an Admiral I will stop calling you a kid." He said while kicking me out of his office.

I stood aside as he slammed the door.

It will take a long time for him to start calling me by my name.

Guess I need to train harder.

"Admiral, the island is in sight." said the recruit watching from the top.

"I see. Everyone get ready. Prepare yourself physically and mentally." ordered the Admiral around.

I am getting excited I wonder how strong those 5 captains would be.

Would I be able to kill them?

As every recruit was rushing to their positions or preparing themselves for the fight I was staring at the island we were approaching.

The fact that I am being watched by the World Government hasn't sunken in yet.

Because I can't understand why they would.

Is it because I am getting stronger or is it because I am the son of the most wanted man in the world.

I doubt they would do something hostile towards me.

I can see him already stomping everything in sight for this kind of thing.

This thought made me grin a bit.

But of course, my top-level stalkers who have something against me because of my age or my privilege noticed me doing that.

"Look at him, he doesn't get the situation we are getting in. He might kill himself right there." They started whispering things like that behind my back.

Deciding to ignore them would be the best choice for this matter.

Because I need to be focusing on them.

"Anchor the ship!"

The battleship anchored and all recruits stood in formation.

"Everyone on this island is deemed a Pirate. Kill everyone."

"YES!"

"ATTACK!"

When the battle cry came I began to run along with them, but they are hella slow so I decided to abandon them and find the rulers of the island.

I was hiding my presence when I encountered the mansion on the top of the hill.

Why build your place on such obvious place?

I looked through the window and saw 4 males and 1 female discussing with each other.

The fitting describing from what I can see from this point is a fat guy, a bald guy, a mysterious masked man, a man totally in a suit who looked like a mafia boss and woman with a voluptuous body.

If I concentrate on my hearing it might be hearing a few things.

"What should we do? The battleship is led by an Admiral he might coming for us now." said the fat one who was holding a piece of meat.

"You should all calm down. There is only one battleship and I doubt the Admiral would come in person just for our heads." said the bald pirate captain.

"Don't tell a woman to calm down, you dumbass." the female captain said while kicking the bald guy in his balls.

"We should better make an escape for it. This many subordinates and a new island is easy to find after all." said the masked guy.

"I agree we should leave as soon as possible. I would rather avoid such people coming for me at this point." said the man in a black suit.

I have finally heard and seen all the 5 five pirates captains.

The fat pirate is Lucas Riley, the captain of the Boar Pirates and has a bounty of 5.000.000 Belly.

The bald pirate is Victor Hess, the captain of the Skin Head Pirates and has a bounty of 5.000.000 Belly.

The female captain is Victoria Hocks, the captain of the Shinigami Pirates and has a bounty of 5.000.000 Belly.

The masked captain is Makoto, the captain of Shadow Mask Pirates and has a bounty of 5.000.000 Belly.

The man in a black suit is Kurokami, the captain of the Deep Ground Pirates and has a bounty of 5.000.000 Belly.

They can themselves Mighty Five, that sounds like a ridiculous name to me.

Fighting them all together means facing an enemy of 25.000.000 Belly.

Like hell, I could take him easy on.

What was the Magma dude thinking?

I doubt I can separate them from each other.

This isn't going to be easy.

But I prepared for it.

I am going to beat the hell out of them.

"Yo Mighty Five, I came here to kick you guys asses." I declared while pumping my fist up.

"Is this a joke or something? Kids playing Marine shouldn't deal with real pirates." retorted Victor.

"Victor Hess. I might be a kid but I can seriously kick your ass." I replied.

"Who the fuck are you dipshit?" said Victoria.

"Such a foul mouth, my lady. And also sorry for the late introduction, my name is Monkey D. Lance. I am going to be Fleet Admiral."

There was a silent moment.

I took this chance to take a bite of my rice crackers.

"I see, you are the grandson of 'Hero' Garp." Kurokami broke the silence.

"Knowing that, will you guys still fight me?" I answered.

"Of course, we will beat you to a pulp!" said Lucas who took the last bite of his meat and gave me furious look.

"COME AND GET ME" I yelled towards them as I made a pipe of ice.

The fist of Lucas and the mace of Victoria contacted not my body but the ground.

I held the pipe in my right hand and my left hand turned into an ice gauntlet.

I decided to take down the long-range fighter who was Kurokami that was throwing knives towards me.

I was heading towards Kurokami but Victor stood in front of me to stop my advance.

It became a pincer attack when both Lucas attacked me from my left and right.

I turned my right and left in ice boots and kicked both of their chins and at the same time, I slammed my pipe into Victor's head.

Three down, two to go.

Makoto stood in front of Kurokami and prepared himself to attack me.

Makoto wielded a sword so I focused a head-on battle with my pipe.

I could never overpower him with my physical strength, so I chose to exhaust him.

This technique was drilled into me from trying to dodge practice swords of Vice Admirals.

Remembering all those hits makes my body ache all over again.

All his attempts to slash me were futile.

His sword was slow if you compare it those of Vice Admirals.

I appeared in the air behind his back and hit his neck.

When he went down Kurokami took the chance to run away but it was useless.

When they were all unconscious I took my chance to kill them.

I returned back to the ship.

The bodies were carried by other recruits.

It seems my achievement caused the mocking recruits to shut their mouths.

Taking a detour from the office of Akainu I took my time to eat my rice crackers and to think if my twin brother and my 2 promised big brothers are okay.

I hope Sabo is still alive, he left way too early.

I finally met the door of the office of Admiral Akainu.

I knocked on the door.

"Enter," he ordered like usual.

I entered the office and took a seat in front of his bureau.

"You did good, kid. Keep it up. Don't tell your grandfather about the World Government agents. That's everything, you're dismissed."

"Hai!"
