5 Chapter 5- Deep Undercover Not Really!

The nearest bar was a ding-looking thing, in such a vibrant town it looked like the plague, and smelt like it too. I walked in one hand on the Nidai Kitetsu, but my intervention was not needed, there was music playing, people dancing, and most importantly a drinks bar. I went straight up to the bar and ordered a flask of sake, the best alcohol, the bartender eyed my swords. 

The alcohol was a beautiful way to end my day, or so I thought, I poured out the shots, and I was on my third when a heavyset man lumbered up to the bar and sat next to me, I remained calm focusing on pouring the drink. The man swooped down, grabbed the shot, and drank it down. "Only snobs and dickheads fuck with another man's drink," I muttered.

"What was that?!"

"This!" grabbing my swords, I quickly drew them, faster than the rascals could see, slashing downwards, but my swords were met with an opponent, a sword had parried, but the effects on the man's weak katana were visible, the cursed flames from the Nidai Kitetsu and Sandai Kitetsu were corroding the metal. I wanted to get this over with and leave, moving my hand increased the gravity by 20x- Oki-sa Oki-sa No mi- Graviiiiiiii Wrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.

The move forced the man onto his knees, but he wasn't squashed like I had hoped so I increased the gravity to 30x, Gravi- DEATH. The man was squashed against the floor and I heard the cracking of ribs, I released the gravity, hauled the man up, and walked outside the bar, pissed that my mood was ruined, I threw the man into an alley and was about to final attack him, when a hand reached to his hood, pulling it down to show the smoking, red, wheezing figure of Captain Smoker of Loguetown. 

"Captain Smoker!?" I attempted a half-salute

"Baka, you idiot, how are you this strong, and what the hell are those monster swords!?"

"These are the Kitetsu Blades, and I am Ryusaki Shimotsuki!"

"I know who you are Baka, I was meant to mentor you, is that still on?"

"With all due respect Captain Smoker, I won't be needing your assistance, please leave me to my own devices!"

"Very well, by the way, a pirate crew called the straw hats has been reported to be making their way here, keep an eye out will ya?

"Of course Captain!"

With that, the Marine Captain disappeared in a puff of smoke.

I trudged around the city, pissed that I didn't get drunk and shocked by how weak a Marine Captain like him was. My hands always rested on my swords, but it was almost always the case that I didn't need to use them, eventually, the rumbling of my stomach couldn't be ignored and I sat down at a ramen shop, which was coincidentally opposite the sword shop, I sat down and slurped my noodles down, and with that, I ended my day.

I had booked quality lodgings with my own money, they were above the ramen shop, and as soon as I got in I fell onto the bed and hit the hay. The next morning was here, and the bright sun shone on my face, as I looked out of the window, the Raen shop was closed, but the smells of the kitchen were beautiful to wake up to, they must be preparing to open shop!

That's when I noticed him, a green-haired man, walking, clearly lost but then seemed to find what he was looking for, trudging into Ipponmatsu's sword shop. This must be the First mate of the Straw Hats, Roronoa Zoro. The former bane of pirates is now an actual pirate, fascinating, looks like it's going to be an eventful morning for me eh?
