Junk Island

Zora and Masamune eventually reached their destination. The island was completely filled with junk and rusted metals, it seemed like people inhabited this island as there were small slums and a small rusted dock. The island had little to no vegetation and the little vegetation it had looked contaminated.

"How do people live like this?" Zora said as she stepped off her ship. She was immediately stared at by the locals, many of them were on the sandless shore scavenging for what little food they can find.

'This is disgusting.' Masamune said with heavy amounts of disgust.

"I agree." Zora said as she began walking towards the center, where a large pile of accumulated junk created a huge overlooking tower. As she walked through the island, and through the small slums she once again had a look at the condition the people were living in. Houses made out of rusted metal, sharp pieces of metal sticking out of every orifice especially on the ground. Malnourished adults and children.

Zora also noticed one thing since she arrived on the island.

"It's way too quiet, an island like this should be more alive. Crime has to be in the skies, so why hasn't anyone said a word or attempted to rob me?" Zora asked aloud.

'This is very strange, instances like this only happen if the people were told to be quiet by someone or a group holding power over them.' Masamune said.

"Like some pirates?" Zora asked and was immediately ambushed as she neared the center tower. Around 30 pirates with various sabers and guns jumped from the many empty alleyways expecting to catch Zora off-guard.

"Perfect test subjects!" Zora said as she dodged a sword and charged her legs up with purple lightning. She kicked a pirate in his chest, creating a large gaping hole. She ducked under another sword and kick his head into a distant junk pile. Zora jumped into the air and onto a junk pile, and raised her hands. The pirates being the idiots they are; thought Zora was pleading for her life.

"Haha, we got her already boys! Boss is gonna be delighted!"

"Can't we have a go at her first? She's tall and really sexy!"

"Haha, of course we can! What the boss doesn't know don't hurt nobody!"

"Yeah!!"

While the group of bumbling idiots were conversing on their false win, the clear sky became dark and it began to storm heavily. Strikes of purple lightning struck throughout the island, the waves started to get more violent and the wind began to blow faster.

"Oi! Why did it start to rain all of a sudden!?"

"Don't ask me!"

Zora began to rise into the air as her eyes slightly glowed purple, she swiped her hand, and a large bolt of lightning around 200ft wide struck the area of the pirates and damaged the surrounding area. Zora floated back to the ground and the storm stopped.

"Now let's figure who this 'Boss' is." Zora said as she looked up at the junk tower and hardened her legs. She leaped and reached the middle in a single bound. She bursted through the junk walls, and was met with a fat man surrounded by countless women and pirates.

"Eh? Is this the new bitch? Why didn't anyone tell me!" The fat man said not even seeing Zora as a threat.

Zora was immediately filled with rage got into a basic draw stance and placed her hand on Masamune's handle.

"One sword style: Hydra's Wrath!" Zora said as she drew Masamune and swung outwards, she turned her back and sheathed Masamune. The head of the fat man along with the women and pirates all dropped to the floor. The room was painted red.

Zora left the way she came in and landed on the ground in a huge dust cloud, as she walked away the tower was suddenly cleaved in half, causing it hit the floor resulting in a loud bang. Before she actually left, she wanted to test the range on her Devour. She raised her hand to the intact, middle floor and released her Devourer's Haki. The aura manifestation flew out but didn't reach the tower and stopped at around 30ft away from her.

"That's slightly disappointing." Zora said bringing her hand down and walking away from the massacre.

'The range will increase as you get stronger, you're pretty strong for a 14-year-old.' Masamune said with praise.

"Thank you, Masamune." Zora said as she walked back to her ship, having found no reason to stay on the pitiful island. She reached the Hydra and immediately set sail, as the island began to shrink Zora was alerted by a large number of people headed in her direction.

"Marines." Zora said as she stood on her figurehead. The giant battleship dwarfed her small ship, she grinned and got ready for battle. She jumped onto the Marine ship and began the slaughter.

Zora unsheathed Masamune and began killing the crew while absorbing their spiritual energy, causing her to be shrouded in a purplish-black aura. The Marine Captain finally stepped in at this point.

"I am Captain Derek! Zora the Beast, we are here for your crimes!" Derek said as he swung at Zora with his large axe. Zora blocked the attack with Masamune, resulting in a loud clang. She had the height advantage so she swung back, sending him into the mast. Derek bursted from the mast with an overhead swing which Zora sidestepped and knee'd him in the gut, winding him. Derek dropped his axe and held onto his stomach, Zora took the opportunity to grab him by the neck.

"Devour." Zora said and Derek began to convulse. His eyes rolled back and his skin slowly lost its color before he turned grey and dry.

The remaining Marines stared at Zora in shock. Zora stood there as she basked in the power, she turned her head and her face was adorned with a bloodthirsty grin.

"No one is leaving!"
