how is the business?

"Horaaa horaaa hora.... how is the business booming my dear pirates . "

I said while swinging my sea stoned embedded trusty jitte at incoming pirate.

it hit square at the jaw of pirate....CRACK...

he fell face first on the road...Thud.

Knocked out .

"Hmm....although it's stupid to carry your only weakness with you but it feels nice to hit with it. " I said and ran to next batch of mob pirates.

" oye oye stop running you bastard " said mob no. 2

He slashed at me with his sword. I dodged by jumping to side then kicked him in gut hard.

Grunt.. he groaned in pain and fell on his knees. Bam... I kicked him in the face for good measure after all I don't want his half dead soul haunting me.

""" that's what you get for being cocky. Die motherfucker."""Said pirates in unison.

I looked down and saw 3 smoking holes at my chest and stomach.

"Naah... not today" I transformed my hands in dense smoke and then.....

" white blow " dense smoke smashed into pirates. BOOM

" white out " dense smoke engulfed their whole body and captured them without any struggle.

'Ahh it's so cool I feel like I am on air. These guys are easy pickings. No fight at all. I guess smoker is strongest in east blue huh. '

While I was getting high on my new found strength. I saw something really impressive in corner of my eyes.

Tashigi unsheathed her sword from scabbard and ran forward while shouting

" pirates scums are the worst criminals of world.people like you are not worthy of weilding such beautiful swords. Hand them over "

She ran in between pirates and then

Clink

Slash

Slash

Started to cut them like haystack.

Thud Thud Thud.... pirates falling behind her like flies.

She stood straight weilding her sword in both hand. She gave a mighty shout and charged at pirate boss

" hyaaaaaahhhh"

.

.

.

And she stumbled and fall on face first and Her glassed fall off somewhere.

" Huh my glasses.?..... I can't see without them." She crawled on ground trying to find her glasses.

' huh what the fuck... I thought she will hack him half' I felt so stupid for getting hyped on that tch.

Pirate boss who saw her falling smiled and moved forward to attack tashigi.

" tch ....white launcher " I transformed my lower half in smoke and launched myself at mob boss ' aka' pirate captain with my jitte out.

I thrusted it at his neck with all my momentum and punched at his face.

Crash... crack...crunch

I don't how many bones I broke but atleast he is still alive. I pinned him down with my jitter but I guess there is no need for that. he is already out cold .

" tch.... no sleeping on duty tashigi."

I picked her fallen glasses and gave her a hand.

" s..sorry smoker-san"

She took my hand and put on her glasses while acting all embarrassed.

Ugh she is clumsy one I guess.

Sound of running steps and huffing came from back. As I turned to look around.

" s.. sir I ca..ught up." Said sasazuka while breathing heavily.

" yeah you did. After we finished whole damn fight sasazuka ."

" s ....sorry sir. I will do my best."

" hmmm..... go on capture all those pirate. Put them in prison." I ordered

" s..smkoer san ,let me handle this " said tashigi with determination in her voice.

"Whatever just do it fast. " I said and she ran while skipping like a child full of enthusiasm for her new toys.

" ahhh..... Such a beauty hahaha" said tashigi with shining eyes.

Now I know why was she so determined on doing it herself.

" sword freak" I said as I jumped in the ship of pirates to find any leftovers.

Smoker starter moving in with full speed with dollar in his eyes.

" hahaha... treasure treasure treasure 🤑 "

While I was running around I came across something that looked like metal security door for banks.

"Hmm.... let's give it try. "

I took a punching stance, lowering my hip and bending my knees. extending all four fingers and pressing them tightly together and thumb over my knuckles I made proper fist. Left hand in front and my right dominant fist at side. I gathered all my strength and whipped my fist straight at door.

Bam... I punched straight through the glaring iron door.

.

.

Or so I thought

" AHHHHHHHh... FUCK" I shouted while parading around and rubbing my knuckles.

damn it hurts.

' fuck fuck ..what was I thinking. It hurts so much. I didn't break my fingers, did I'

As I was howling and whining like a dog. I heard footsteps behind me. I turned my neck around stiffly like a robot.

"S...sir" said sasazuka

" run ten laps around the city Sasaszuka" I shouted at him with all my anger.

" Sir yes sir" he shriveled and saluted.

I took a look last look at iron wall and moved to the deck of pirate ship.

I lost my mood of hording the treasure.

" hey sword freak move your ass." I said to the spellbound tashigi.

" Yes sir" She jumped on her spot with swords in her hand and ran forward. Her feet tangled and she fall on her face again...crash swords flew through sky and fall just near her face....Clink.

" kyaaaahh" She screamed and crawled back at blinding speed.

"Sigh... how is she still alive. "

I said as I sat on the spot on the figure head of ship while looking at now setting sun.

I took a cigar from my jacket and took a drag from it while singing a song

"Yeah, I'm gonna take my horse to the old town road

I'm gonna rideeeeee 'til I can't no more

I'm gonna take my horse to the old town road

I'm gonna rideee 'til I can't no more (Kio, Kio)...."
