Prologue 4

As I was nearing the city I started to see two figures nearing me from afar.

one tall and massive looking and the other chubby and short, even from that distance I knew that they meant to harm but I couldn't run away since that was the only street leading to the city.

as they neared me a shrilling voice cut the silence like a knife.

"That's my sword, Salomon kill him and bring it back to me!" Said the celestial dragon with his irritating voice.

"yes, master" the voice of the now known Salomon was deep and guttural

with an agility almost impossible and reality-defying

that behemoth of a man almost teleported in front of me.

It was only thanks to my instincts and training that I was almost able to dodge the punch aimed at my stomach.

almost is the key, my body was violently flung against a wall breaking it.

I had very little time to contemplate my endeavor as I had to dodge another attack, this time being successful.

my hand reaches the sword taking a sure grip of its hilt, brandishing it like it was the only thing between me and death, cause in a sense it was.

without the time to even take a breath, I had to deflect another punch the sword but the resolution was different from what I expected.

instead of the sword cutting his hand, I was sent pummelling down the road.

'I'm not ready to fight with someone this strong, what do I do?' As I was thinking along those lines my instinct screamed at me to dodge and so I did.

With a rapid movement of the head, I dodged a punch aimed at it that would have undoubtedly caused my demise.

at the same time, I slash with my sword aiming for his arm and managing to inflict a small cut on his elbow.

"What are you doing Salomon, Kill that rascal right now or I will have to halve your pay, you stupid fucker!" The celestial dragon roared.

hearing that Salomon became livid, you could see his rage in his eyes.

in under a second, I dodged a punch so powerful that only the air broke a wall behind me.

Honestly, I don't even know how I was capable of doing it but I blame the Haki because if it was my instincts alone I would have never been able to dodge that strike.

"Stay still, you will die either way so why bother!" Salomon said with a bothered tone of voice like I was doing him a disservice.

"Yeah, how about you go fuck yourself!" It wasn't an intelligent move on my part but what else did you expect me to do.

you could almost see the vein throbbing on his forehead, pumping blood in his big angry looking face.

With an ulterior charge, I had to dodge another punch aimed at my gut but this time utilizing my sword to cut him in a fluid motion.

it wasn't all that effective but you could see a small and swallow cut going all through his left arm and up to his shoulder.

as he watched his arm losing a small amount of blood, his face started to contort in rage and there I know I fucked up.

Not even realizing what hit me I was sent flying with no more air in my lungs against the wall of a building three streets down.

I couldn't feel anything anymore, with the last sliver of force remaining in my muscles I started standing up.

as I saw the man who was about to bring me to the reaper aim his last punch at my face I had the time to formulate one last thought.

'I was so near to be free if only I didn't bite more than I could chew and headed directly to Fisher tiger this whole ordeal would not have happened I was ready to feel the last devastating blow connect to my face causing undeniable pain but that blow never came.

as I opened my eyes the scene that welcomed me was the massive back of Fisher Tiger.

"Hey kid, what were you even thinking when you thought it was a good idea to fight that man?" He said in an angry voice

"I didn't know what else to do, he wouldn't let me leave," I said almost mockingly

"you are lucky that I always step in to save you, you shouldn't have me this worried at all times," he said with an exasperated tone

" don't stress yourself too much old man, or you will get an

heart attack" I said with mirth

" I'm not that old yet you stupid brat," he said with equal mirth laced in his tone.

as this exchange was going on Salomon tried to end it by punching Fisher in the face.

or at least tried, his body exploded from the impact of one good aimed punch on Fisher's part who didn't even break a sweat fighting, if it could be called that, the same guy who almost killed me ten seconds ago.

Don't get me wrong, I always knew that he was strong but, this is on another level of brokenness, he one-shotted the dude.

" What the fuck do you think you are doing, you meager slave" the celestial dragon screamed like a pig to the slaughter, and soon that will be just his fate as Fisher made fast work of his fat body with a well-aimed punch.

it Salomon exploded than the celestial dragon was no more, the only thing remaining was a bloody smudge on the side of the road.

"We have to go sonny, the crew is waiting only for you, let's leave this cursed place," Fisher said with a serious e tone of voice

"I can't move my legs, you will have to carry me, old man," I said with all the mirth in the world

"oh fuck off, I will do this just this once, next time you crawl your sorry ass to the boat," he said jokingly

"yeah yeah be a good horse and carry your master to his ship" a punch was almost instantly delivered to my head

"don't cross the line, next time I won't be that gentle," he said trying to hide his smile

"I know you missed me," I said

I know that from now on we will live many exciting adventures on the sea.
