Chapter 4: Logue Town!

After few days of sailing, Lex's pirate group had finally reached an island. During these past days, they encountered several marines and pirates which were annihilated. One of the luckiest one among the marines survived and reported about the group which caused a huge uproar in the marine HQ. They had been looking for the mysterious disappearance of 12 marine ships including 5 captains who went to East Blue. After hearing the report, they concluded that the culprit who caused all this incident were Lex's pirate group.

The report stated: "a pirate group with 'Sea No Evil' written on their front sail has been causing havoc in the East Blue destroying marine ships and even other pirates. The only survivor of a marine ship reported that the pirate group consisted of 9 peoples; 2 females and 6 males and 1 octopus..

Their strengths were unknown but it is said that they have the power to destroy a warship with one blow. They are now considered as the culprit of the previous incidents as the survivor heard them saying that their ship was the 13th ship they destroyed.."

Fleet Admiral Sengoku: "Hm.. this pirate group seems a little mysterious. We need to observe them for a while."

------

As they docked the ship on the coast of the island, Lex's crew started exploring the island. They soon found a strange village in which all the houses were all turned upside down.

Kaya: "Eh! The houses are all turned down! "

Zeke: "It must be caused by someone and the path is also destroyed."

Lex: "Oh! I remember this place.. these are all caused by the fish-men."

Jack: "Oh! So there are also fish-men.. blimey!"

Lex figured out where they were. The current place was the Cocoyashi village invaded by the Arlong's pirate group..

They walked around the destroyed town and suddenly a slender woman with purple short hair came forward.

"You guys.. what are you doing here? Its dangerous.."

She shouted towards Lex's group and tried to scare them away before the fish-men arrived on patrol duty. But it was useless, the more they heard about the horror of Arlong's group, the more they became excited.

Galand: "Hm.. it looks like the fish-man are quite strong. I want to test their strength. I hope it might not be as weak as the previous ants."

Lex: "Don't have high hopes on them.. they are just a little stronger than humans, thats all."

"You guys! Didn't you hear what I just said! "

The woman wanted to lecture them again but it was interrupted as some fish-men had already found them.

"Who are you guys? Do you know, you have to pay tax if you want to stay here.. hehe"

*swish*

Four fish-men came towards them and started talking. Galand instantly appeared in front of them and swung his spear hitting all four and blasting them on the side.

*boom*

The fish-men flew away destroying several houses and died. Galand's swing force was so strong that it created a big tornado and blasted away the whole town. The woman and Kaya were held tightly by Lex avoiding them from getting sucked in the force. After the tornado disappeared, the whole town became a flat land completely clean. Looking at the scene, the woman was dumbfounded..

"What! The whole town disappeared! "

Zeke: "Oi.. oi.. Galand you bastard, I told you to hold back. There are humans here you know.."

Galand: "Tch.. I thought they were strong.."

Jack: "Sigh.. me and my monster crew.."

Lex then looked towards the woman and a sneer smile appeared on his face..

"Well then woman, tell me your name and why don't we have a deal.."

The woman was now in a very complex mood, she knew the horror of Lex's group and now asked her for a deal.

"W-what deal do you want? Who are y-you guys? And I'm called Nojiko.."

Lex: "We are pirates. And the deal is that I will help you in exchange you join me.."

Zeke: "Hehe.. here comes the captain.. I don't understand why he loves women very much.."

Jack: "Maybe from his blood.. I guess haha"

Alpha: "You two maggots.. shut up! "

"Ugh.. this woman is still cold-blooded as ever.."

Hearing the conversation, Nojiko understood what Lex meant.

"D-do I have a choice to reject the deal?"

"Chuckle.. of course you don't."

After Lex's word, Nojiko gave a sigh. She had no choice but to agree. The group's strength was strong and can easily force her.

'Well.. my life has already been messed up. I guess I can help the villagers a little.'

Nojiko agreed to Lex's deal which made Kaya a little sad although she didn't know the reason. Then Lex's group used Kurogiri's Gate immediately appeared inside a tall building and saw several fish-men.

Arlong was with his other comrades when a black mist suddenly appeared and several people came out of nowhere. Among the people he saw a familiar figure.

"Shahaha.. isn't this Nojiko? What brings you here along with these strange people.."

*swosh*

Galand: "Hoh.. are you Arlong? I heard that you are strong.. lets test it."

Galand's tall figure appeared behind Arlong, slightly bend and said with heavy voice. Arlong got shocked with Galand's speed and was about to jump away when a big hand suddenly caught his face and slammed him hardly on the ground.

*boom* *splurt*

A huge shockwave spread throughout the area and Arlong's head was already blasted into blood and brains. The huge building was cracked in the verse of collapsing anytime. Galand returned with his left hand full of blood dripping.

"Its still weak.. "

Zeke: "Like I said.. don't use too much force."

Seeing the scene, the fish-men felt chills on their body but soon recovered and became mad for killing their boss. They started rushing towards Lex.

Jack: "Ok mates.. let me deal with them. Its time for me to show some pirate skills.. aye.."

He then took out his sword used 'Busoshoku and Kenbunshoku Haki' and started killing the fish-men. Jack's strength was already boosted by 50% so he was much stronger combined with Haki techniques. Lex taught his members the Haki techniques(except Haoshoku Haki) which they learnt easily because it was summoned from the chest and Lex's Haki techniques were quite simple. He tried teaching to Kaya but she still can't learn it. So Lex concluded that the learning techniques were different from the original but have the same output.

After a while, Jack completely killed all the fish-men. Arlong's officers; Kuroobi's fish-men karate were easily dodged using observation, Hatchan's swordsmanship was still defeated and Chew's attacks were useless on Jack and killed them easily.

*muffled laughter*

Jack laughed proudly showing his ultimate strength. "Pals.. although I am a human, I'm still strong.. know it"

Zeke: "Clap.. clap.. whatever, stop your creepy laughter.."

Then they took the treasures and even found five billion bellies in a chest and destroyed the whole place. After Nojiko bade farewell to the villagers, Lex's pirate group sailed away destroying a marine ship led by Captain Nezumi that was visiting Arlong.

Several days had passed since then. Lex's pirate group soon reached 'Logue Town'.. the nearest town to Reverse Mountain. After docking the ship on the port, the group entered the town which caught several attention.

Inside marine branch office stationed in Logue Town, Captain Smoker was sitting leisurely smoking a cigarette looking at the wanted posters.

A girl wearing a spectacle with a sword entered the room..

"Captain Smoker.. we have got news about the pirate group the HQ mentioned."

Smoker: "Well! What news? Have they come here?"

"Yes.. they have come here, they were seen on the street near the port.."

Smoker condensed his eyes, got up from the seat, took a metal stick and came near the window..

"So.. you've come on my territory. Well I'm going for a stroll.. you inform the others.." saying the words, Smoker immediately turned to smoke and flew away.

On the other side, Lex's group had been strolling around the shops buying things which were mainly for Alpha and the girls. Soon, they reached the main part of the town where the execution stand of Gol D. Roger, the pirate king..

Jack: "Hey.. so this is the place where the pirate king was executed.."

Zeke: "I have to say.. this world is a little interesting one.."

They looked around and started discussing about the story of Roger but it didn't take long when a person flew at their direction riding in smoke.

Lex looked at the person and a slight smile appeared on his face, "Chuckle!.. so its him, Captain Smoker.."

"Sure enough.. this world is quite mysterious.."

The peoples around who saw Smoker had already started cheering. He was quite famous in Logue Town for catching dangerous pirates.

Smoker show a group of strange people in the crowd and instantly recognised them.

"A red armoured one, an octopus.. Its true, their group is full of strange ones.."

Smoker landed on the ground and quietly observed Lex standing in the front. Lex looked like a normal human but Smoker could feel some strange aura coming out from his body. He then puffed out a mouthful of smoke, looked at Lex with sharp eyes and asked in a cold voice,

"So you guys are the one causing trouble around the East Blue.."

Hearing the words, Lex didn't deny it but lightly smiled and said in a mocking tone,

"Well, isn't it Captain Smoker.. I'm Lex Kingston, Captain of the 'Sea No Evil' pirate. Are you here to catch us? I don't mind making you the 7th Captain who vanished mysteriously.. chuckle!"

Smoker got instantly angry, veins popping on his head, "Tch.. so you've killed another one. But don't be too arrogant, I'm different from them and you won't be leaving this place.." He took out his metal stick made of sea stone.. at the same time, several marines appeared on the spot and surrounded them.

"Ah! Lets go.. the marines are here.."

"It seems like a huge battle will take place.. lets leave.."

All the peoples who were watching the scene hurriedly rushed away from the place. Soon only Lex's group and the marines remained on the spot.

Koro: "Eh! Its quite many.. Ah, I'm getting scared.."

Alucard: "Tch.. full of ants trying to catch us.. its funny."

Lex looked around the marines and finally stopped on a female marine wearing a spectacle and a sword on her waist.

"Heh.. capturing girls is the most easy way to earn hatred from people. Galand.. isn't this place a little overcrowded?"

Galand instantly understood what Lex meant. He showed an evil smile.. 'What he liked the most of his Captain was that he was cold blooded although a little womanizer but he didn't care as long as his Captain was an evil one'..

"Hehe.. It really seems overcrowded and suffocating.. so lets open some space." Galand said in an evil tone and suddenly jumped up the execution stand. He then took out his spear and waved around with great force.

*Swosh* *Swosh*

Smoker and the other marines felt a strong force and before they could escape, a strong wave erupted blasting everything in the surrounding area.

*Boom..

A loud sound was heard, smoke and dust filled the entire Logue Town. After a while, the dust disappeared slowly. Smoker broke out from the rubbles and was dumbfounded. What he saw wasn't the beautiful town before but a flat plain full of rubbles and dead peoples. The centre of Logue Town instantly became a waste land. Many civilians, pirates and marines were killed on the spot. Only the execution stand near Lex stood unshattered.

Galand: "Hehe.. now its a little empty.."

Seeing the scene, Smoker instantly got mad.. now he had lost his mind completely and rushed towards Lex roaring angrily,

"Damn you bastards! I will kill you all.. kill you all.. arghh.."

Zeke: "Haha.. looks like someone has completely lost his mind.."

Alucard: "Let me tame this mad beast.."

Lex: "Don't kill him.. I think he will be fun in the future.. chuckle!"

Looking at the group of madmen, Kaya and Nojiko instantly shuddered. Now, a fear of Lex had sprouted on their hearts.

Alucard instantly appeared beside Smoker and kicked the abdomen with his foot covered with Color of Arms.

*Boom.. "cough.. cough.. Armed Color?!"

Smoker flew several metres and crashed on the ground. Now he was at disadvantage as his ability was useless against armed color. Before he could stand up, Alucard appeared and stepped his foot on Smoker's head and pressed him down.

Alucard: "Now you see.. this is how you kill the ants.. *bang..*bang.. *bang.."

"Ahhhhh... damn you!!" Three armed bullets shot on Smoker's both legs and left shoulder. Alucard kicked him once again and walked back leaving Smoker who was staring angrily on Lex's group.

He wanted to kill them so badly but didn't even have the strength to stand up.

Lex: "Galand.. you were a little harse. Now I don't know if she is still alive." Lex looked around and finally saw the female marine who was half buried in the rubbles lying unconscious.

"Alpha.. bring that girl. Its our loot for today.. lets go guys!" Lex's group walked away taking the female marine.

"Bastards! Leave Tashigi alone.. she has nothing to do with this.. cough.. cough"

Lex: "Don't worry.. I will be very good to Tashigi.. chuckle! Blame your weakness, Captain Smoker."

They soon left the area and sailed away on their ship. Smoker wanted to stop them but he didn't have enough strength.. he could only blame himself for being weak.

After getting farther away, Lex looked at the half destroyed Logue Town far away and felt a little unsatisfied. He thought of a wicked idea and a sneer appeared on his face.

"Zeke.. how about we test your aim. Lets leave a present before leaving East Blue. What do you think?"

"Haha.. really an evil Captain. Its seems it will not be boring sailing under you. Then, time for some exercises..[transform]"

Zeke showed an evil smiled and soon a bright light covered his body. A huge shadow appeared from the light and Zeke finally turned into 'Beast Titan' big as 17m tall with long hands and brown hair covering his body like a beast.

Jack: "Oh my! He was really a monster.."

Alucard: "Hehe.. all are monsters.. I like it."

"G-giants! What a group of monsters!" Kaya and Nojiko fell on the ground shaking in horror looking at the huge beast.

The steams covering Zeke disappeared and fully revealed his form. He breathed out a mouthful of steam from his mouth and stretched his huge body.

Zeke: "Huh! Its been long since I transform into this form.. Now lets test my skill.." Zeke walked on the deck freely as the 'Cursed King' was quite a huge ship. He then picked several cannonballs stored on the deck, posed himself like a baseball pitcher. He stretched his hand backward, used observation haki and finally shot the numerous cannonballs towards Logue Town with great force making the air chaotic.

...

On the other side, just after Lex's group left the place.. some marines rushed on the spot and helped Smoker and took him on the marine ship for treatment. As they reached the ship, they saw the huge ship of Lex sailing away. Smoker took a binocular and looked at the ship. He saw Lex and one of his crew standing on the back of the ship looking towards them. Suddenly, a bright light emerged from the man and the next scene shocked him. The man beside Lex turned into a giant with long hands and hairy skin.

"Look! Whats that? Giants?'

"He can transform into a giant! No.. it looks like a huge beast, is it a zoan fruit?.."

But Smoker didn't have time to think as he saw the huge beast posing his body and finally stretched his hand, about to throw something..

"Not good! You guys take cover! Something coming towards us... *boom.. *boom.. "

Before they even moved several cannonballs came at fast speed and bombarded the whole town..

*Boom.. *Boom..

"Ahh!! help me.. "

"Dad!! Mom!! No!! I don't want to die.. ahh!!"

*Boom..

Several cries sounded through the whole town and the whole town was destroyed into pieces. After the bombardment stopped, the survived peoples didn't have time to relief.. soon the second wave came. Finally the attack stopped but the whole town was completely destroyed. There were rubbles and dead peoples everywhere.

Lex and the others looked at the bombardment with evil expressions..

Zeke: "Haha.. the haki techniques of this world is quite useful. Now I have super throwing skill and armoured body.." Zeke stretched his long arms widely showing his glory..

Koro: "Its quite useful.. your throwing range is super long.."

Lex: "Chuckle.. now the execution stand looks mighty.. the peoples will really love my present.."

"What a harse thing! Y-you killed them all!"

Nojiko looked at Lex with angry eyes.. Kaya also felt a little sad but she had started adapting to seeing this kind of scenes.

Lex: "Well this is reality.. only the strong can do whatever they want and nobody can't stop them.."

Alucard: "Thats right.. and we serve the evil. So get familiar with it.."

Soon the shadow of the huge ship slowly disappeared to the horizon.

On the other side.. the whole Logue Town was utterly destroyed. Some building were still standing but were already on the verse of collapse.

But the strange thing was that the execution stand was unaffected and stood tall on the flat plain.

On the port.. among the destroyed ships, a huge sphere of smoke was protecting some marines from the fire. The smoke dissipated and Smoker fell to the ground coughing out a mouthful of blood. The survived marines helped him and rested on the corner and finally started contacting the HQ.

Smoker rested on a stone wall and looked at the destroyed town and greeted his teeth..

"Damn.. I will always remember the crimes you have comitted and will punish you all.. cough.. cough.." He coughed some blood and lost consciousness.

Soon the news about the destruction of Logue Town was spread throughout the whole world. Many people shuddered in fear and prayed to never meet the evil group..
