Sword And Shield Pirates

A few weeks before kei even come to the One Piece world.

Grand line Paradise

"Damnit!! we suffer heavy losses! Who would have thought that Dracule Mihawk would suddenly intervene and attack us! " A fat man said while rubbing his stomach that have a big cut mark injury.

"It seems that someone from the Fang pirate offends him somehow. Now the Fang pirate is whipped out and all their wealth including the devil fruit we want sink into the ocean. We suffer such heavy losses without getting anything back. Damnit! " A slim but masculine guy said with anger visible on his face.

These 2 people are part of the Sword and Shield pirate. In fact, they are the captain and the right hand man of the crew.

[A/N: Don't bother googling the df. Even if you find it the ability is different]

120 million beli Captain. Hamon the Great Shield, he is a fat guy that ate the Hogo Hogo no mi.

The Hogo Hogo no Mi is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows the user to negate and deflect attacks. The fruit's ability allows the user to cover their body in goo like substance that have the ability to bounce back attacks back at the attacker and nullify any Devil Fruit attacks used on the user as long as the attack is not out of the league for the user, making the person a Shield Human ( Shīrudo Ningen).

Vice captain Velor the Misery. Have a bounty of 98 Million beli. And he have eaten the itai itai no mi.

The itai itai no mi is Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows the user to cover their attack in pain aura. The fruit's ability allows the user to double the pain every time somebody received an attack coated in pain aura, making the person a Pain Human ( Itami no Ningen).

[A/N: So basically, if his attack inflicts damage and is considered 2. his next attack will turn the 2 to 4 then 4 to 8, and so on. Only pain and not damage]

They originated from grand line paradise and

these two are actually brothers by blood who once live in a slum during their teenage days. But due to a stroke of luck, both of them find the hogo hogo no mi and itai itai no mi.

They then ate the devil fruit which changes their life for the better

They ate the fruit without knowing what sort of ability it will give them but after finding out that it's not a useless fruit like the human human fruit.

It motivates them to train their hardest and after relentless training, finding decent crew members, and war against other pirate groups. they have managed to climb to the top spot of the paradise pirate ranking and have been known as the unbeatable duo in paradise.

one day, they find out that a pirate crew that is also among the top of the paradise pirate have recently found a certain devil fruit. The switch switch fruit which allows the user to switch the position of anything they touch.

It was the perfect fruit for them to have in their crew because if Hamon and velor can keep switching between attack and defense when they fight. then they will be more unbeatable in Paradise and could maybe climb the no 1 spot.

During an attempt to steal that fruit, the 2 pirates group end up fighting for days. while the lackeys fight with each other. The captain and vice captain fight each other as well.

Unfortunately for the fang pirate, their vice captain couldn't beat Velor and end up dying by his hand. Velor then join the fight between his brother and the fang pirate captain Jon.

The Fang pirate captain Jon ate the zoan neko neko no mi model white tiger thus his strength is not something to be trifle with among the paradise top pirate.

After an endless clash, victory was visible in front of the Hamon and Velor duo. Hamon would defend against Jon's attack while Velor keep attacking him and dealing massive pain to Jon with his fruit power.

Although the damage that he did to Jon was not much. but his fruit ability makes Jon suffer from insane pain. It was a messed up ability that could drive even a person with a strong body crazy.

As the fight was about to end, A sword energy slash sideways towards Jon and cut his body in half leaving the two brothers in shock.

"It's the coffin boat! It's Dracule Mihawk the greatest swordsman!!!" Someone yelled

Hamon and Velor look at each other nodding. The safety of them and their crew is more important and with mihawk infamous hobby of cutting down pirate ships. It's obvious that they won't have time to search the fang pirate ship for that devil fruit.

In a split second, after giving a signal to their crew member. All of them jump back to their ship from the fang pirate ship and then.

Zing!

The Fang pirate ship was cut in half and sunk to the bottom of the ocean. All of the wealth of the Fang pirate disappear to the bottom of the ocean along with their ship.

Hamon and Velor have a bitter look on their face for a few seconds until they finally snap out of it and decided to set sail with the hope that mihawk won't target them.

Zing!

"Damnit that Hawkeye bastard!!! 'Reflect Dome!' "

Stretching his hand forward, White liquid substances start to come out of Hamon's palm. Covering the backside of their ship that was attacked by mihawk sword energy.

Splurt!

The sword's energy manage to cut through. Although the force was reduced by Hamon's power, the ship still end up being damaged and Hamon got a big cut on his stomach. Blood starts to flow and Hamon ends up falling unconscious.

Velor and everybody on board were panicked looking at their current situation. Velor look at Mihawk who was looking at them from afar. He could only gulp in fear waiting for his end.

Surprisingly, Mihawk disappears from their view after they accidentally enter a foggy area. Seeing this as an opportunity, Velor order the crew to treat Hamon's injuries and headed out of Grand Line.

His plan was simple, to rest and recuperate in one of the four blues and then come back to the Grand Line.

The Sword and Shield pirates are the most hated by every other pirate crew so the chance of them surviving in grand line is slim and after such heavy losses. They will probably be targeted by other pirate crew to lessen the competition.

A few days later East blue

The Sword and Shield pirate manage to arrive safely in one of the 4 blues, The East Blue. Although the marine was alerted and chase them because a big pirate crew like them suddenly going to one of the 4 blues.

They still manage to escape the pursuit of the marines and hide on an uninhabited island that have no human on it.

Marines were in a state of panic and even end up sending rear admiral Adam, one of the rising rear admirals that have strength comparable to a vice admiral to settle this problem.

[A/N: Don't bother google]

Unfortunately for the Marines, the sword and shield pirate vice captain is a smart and strategic guy and was capable of completely hiding their tracks for weeks from the Mariners.

That is of course until Adam requested back-up from HQ to send his wife who ate the locate locate fruit which allow them to finally headed to the island the sword and shield pirate hiding at...

-------

Kei landed safely on the shore of the island, the air was fresh and the jungle theme make him feel very excited about fighting those dangerous beasts.

Tying his boat to a rope and a thick tree to make sure his boat that contains his valuables won't get carried by the tide. He then headed to explore the island.

Using wind to lighten his weight, exploring was easier and faster than he have expected. He saw different animals on the island and when he look at them he realized that those rumors weren't exaggerated.

The beasts on this island are truly fierce and very territorial. He saw how 2 big bosses of the island keep fighting none stop even after injuring each other very badly.

He didn't stay to watch for long because he plan to make a rough map of the island first while the sun is still up. Leaving the 2 island overlord to fight each other.

He then headed to different areas of the island while drawing a simple map.

While he was drawing the map along the coast, he saw it. A huge ship the size of a marine battleship class ship with a Jolly Roger that is eating a shield while having two swords that makes the X mark.

" A pirate ship! Such a huge ship but I never saw that Jolly Roger before. I already made my research and im pretty sure I have memorized all the Jolly Roger of pirates that have a bounty worth over 20 million but I really never seen this one.

A ship this large, There's no way it belong to a group of nobody's "

Whosh!

While kei was still observing the ship from the top of a tree. An arrow was shot at him from the ship's directions.

" Crap I been found, and this sort of precision even after I erase my presence with my wind power.

There's no doubt about it, Observation Haki! "

Kei starts to flee back towards the other side coast. He was not prepared to face an opponent that knew haki.

With great speed, he run away as fast as he could...

Zing!

A sword energy hit him and made him crash to one of the trees. Growling in pain, he then heard the sound of a few footsteps.

" I was trying to hunt some animals with my men but I end up finding a sneaky rat. Are you from the Marines boy? well, it doesn't matter because I will end your life now! Die!!! "

Zing!

In a split second, kei created an air ball and launch it to the ground. The impact of the ball manages to push his body up away from the sword. Seeing kei flying, Velor immediately knew that it is a devil fruit's ability.

" Hmmm? Did you eat the wind wind fruit? I change my mind then, I will capture you and sold you as a slave. A lot of people would love to have a slave that have logia power, and I am sure your price would be sky high " with a sinister smile Velor said while looking at the floating kei.

His 6 men start to surround kei after getting a hand gesture. Although kei could float, they still surround him on top of the trees to make sure that he won't escape in the direction he is headed.

Like a trapped animal that makes his last struggle. Kei launches towards valor with the intent to kill. Creating a wind drill coating his right hand, he targeted Velor head.

A smirk starts to appear on Velor face looking at kei.

Zing!

A sword energy was launch, the two attacks collide and nullify each other. They then clashed for hours unleashing different techniques. One is aiming for the kill while the other is aiming to capture.

Nor Kei or Velor look tired. Instead, both of them looked like they were holding back their powers while smiling and looking at their prey coldly.

<Kei Pov>

This is pretty fun, so this is how a real fight should be.

This guy is obviously holding back and have no intention to kill me because he planned to capture me. His men are probably not that strong because fear was visible on their faces when I fight their boss on equal terms.

Should I use my hybrid form? Nah. This is a good training after all so it will feel like a waste. I will use it when it is needed then.

Huh? Wait what! Are those Marine ships in the distance? And it is a battleship class ship as well. I have been fighting this guy on the beach coast and I didn't realize that marines are coming close.

Crap, now I really shouldn't change unless it involves my life.

The guy have also realized the ship that is coming closer to the island.

-----

"It seems that our playtime is over. I need to capture you quickly and then prepare to fight those Marines that have been watching us.

Although your value will be less after I cut some of your limbs but im sure that it will still be a big chunk of money"

With that said, the aura around Velor starts to change. He finally starts to coat his attack with his powers.

Kei saw the change, although he only have a few cut marks after the fight. He still knew that his opponent is not one he should take lightly.

Boom!

Attack after attack start to rain upon kei, The first one was not too bad, the second one was also not bad but after around 10 times getting hit by Velor attack. He felt it, his body only have cut but the pain after every successful hit on his body starts to be absurdly painful.

" What is this strange ability? Isn't this too broken! Damnit! You are the one that forces me to do this! "

Cannot bear the pain any longer, Anger and hatred start to be visible in his eyes. His body starts to change and turn into Rayquaza right in front of Velor and the Marines eye.

It was around 7 meters. A fierce looking flying creature that appears in front of Velor. Marines, Velor, and his crew both look at this scene with their mouth wide open in shock.

" Oi Oi Oi!!! It's a damn Mythical Zoan isn't it!!! "
