Chapter 4: Bicep Brad The Destroyer

I smashed my feet into the ground and got moving in the air using Geppo, one of the fundamental Rokushiki techniques, involving kicking one's feet very hard and very fast to be able to climb altitude in the air. 

Soon, I was level with the middle mast of the strength pirates' ship, it was reported that the strength pirates had come across Adam Wood, which was used to build the ship's hull and bottom, that didn't, however, stop me from smashing it in half, lifting my leg and kicking down using Rankyaku, tempest kick, a fine blue line separating the halves of the ship, still as a frozen lake for just a moment, before exploding in a mass of splintering wood, dying pirates and frothy white ocean foam. 

I used geppo again, this time to lower myself to the hull of the ship, the front half, which was rising rapidly, threatening to sink before turning upside down in the water, creating a platform for me to stand on, but unfortunately, the platform was not just for me, it was for the Captain and first mate of the strength pirates, Bicep Brad The Destroyer and Tricep Thaddeus The Taker.

"Hi there Bicep and Tricep, you look strong devil fruits?" I asked.

"Hell no, you wish, this comes from training bitch, and ain't no warrant officer bastard taking that from us!" 

"You forget that I am a Warrant Officer, in the New World, things are not always what they seem to be!" 

They both charged me at the same time and in my flow-like state I spotted their armament haki-clas fists and I covered my arms in haki as a response, I shot out a large burst of Conquerors before dodging their strikes, freezing them in their tracks before smashing their backs in with a move I learned from the old man, 

"Fists of Love!" 

I watched as their backs caved in for a moment before they took a tumble into the ocean, when they crawled back up they didn't look too pleased, I confirmed that they were not devil fruit users, I was about to charge with Haki when I realized that this the One Piece world, shit ain't fair here, go big or go home. 

I pulled back my arms at the same time, palm striking once, the pressure around the two pirates increasing beyond measure, I sent my other arm forward cracking the air into several fragments over the pirate's head, and released the power I was holding back, a deadly combination of my best moves so far, Skull Crack wave, Air Crack, Primal Pressure and Quake.

"Eternal Elimination Shock!"

I watched as the place they stood caved in and I smiled as Bicep Brad and Tricep Thaddeus sunk, I watched as they tried to claw their way up, I smiled once more, my eyes going completely white, releasing a torrent of conquerors knocking both the tried captains out, unable to save themselves from certain death, "Walters!" 

"Yes Regulas Sir!"

"Alert Headquarters of the annihilation of the strength pirates by Warrant Officer Regulus D Newgate!" 

"Sir Yes Sir!" 

I shot out another burst of conquerors to make sure every single one was dead before rising once again into the sky and bringing down my fist on the air, fragmenting it, sending tremors towards the ship, breaking into millions of tiny pieces, countless pirates killed.

"Walters GET BACK HERE!"

"Yes sir!"

"Alert Headquarters, ask for any missions, something is in the air around here, something is different, there is more than what meets the eye, please voice my concerns to headquarters!"

"Yes Sir!"

"ROBERTS!" I called. 

"Yes sir!" 

"Get me a map of this part of the new world!"

"Sir yes sir!" 

The officer returned with the map and I walked into my cabin to sturdy it after telling the crew to anchor and look out for attacks, I looked at the closest island, Teardrop Island, named after its famous teardrop structure.

"ROBERTS!" 

"Yes sir!" 

"Tell the chief navigator that you have orders from me to set sail to Teardrop Island!" 

"Yes sir!" 

I looked at the island once more, fascinated by the markings on the map about some kind of overlord, civil war, and captivity. I wondered what the current situation was there, depending on what it was, I would decide whether to save the kingdom or help this "Overlord," person, but only if I could gain something from it. 

"ROBERTS! WHY THE HELL HAVE WE NOT MOVED!" 

"Sorry sir, there is a slight motor problem!" 

"You're a cadet aren't you, how many are there on this ship?" 

"Around 500 sir!"

"Well tell them to take the emergency oars there should be way more than 500, and fucking ROW! I don't care how, just consult the chief engineer, just fuck off and get me to the island, do you understand!?" 

"Sir Yes Sir!"

It was another five hours before we got moving and when we eventually got the boat moving, I didn't let the cadets have a break except for dinner, I told them to take four-hour shifts, the first 250 cadets would row, and then they take a four-hour break, then the second 250 will row and so on.

Dinner was nice, perfectly cooked steak, a lot of steaks, around 15 people's portions worth of steak, for some reason, food was the thing in this world that made people grow stronger, the more food you eat the more you will succeed, of course only if you are training, otherwise, you'll just get fat. 

I can see why Garp likes living on his ship...

I picked up a packet of rice crackers, and a bottle of beer and sat on the deck looking at the stars, soon I will conquer every aspect of this world, from the world government to each individual island in the world, they will all know me as their ruler.
