Chapter 18

In One Piece As A Pirate

Chapter: 18

A few days later,

On the other side of the island. About 16 men are walking through the forest. Their destination is the famous blind shipwright.

A person who knows everything about ships, can build a ship, and can fix a ship. How can this person add the "blind" word to his name?

Those people know everything, and by looking at their facial expressions, it seems like they know this blind shipwright.

Sometime later, they came to their destination.

"Yoku, I brought you a customer. Fixed their ship. In a week, they will go fishing." One of the men shouted and explained his purpose for coming here.

They were looking at the little hut from a little distance. In the house. A big man can be seen sitting on his bed. Right beside him is his weapon. Which is a big hammer.

But if anyone looks at his face, they will see that there is no eyeball in his eyes. It's like a skeleton head, but with flesh and blood.

With a poker face, Yoku got up and went out of the house with his hammer.

When those people saw the big man coming out of his house, they looked astonished.

Although they have seen this man before, they can still hide this shocking moment. Because this person is seven feet tall.

It's not that his body is deformed or something. But this boy's body is well proportional. From facial structure to body limbs, it's like a perfect body. But all this beauty was shattered by his blind eye socket.

"Hey Yoku, don't scare them. Give them a smile. Otherwise, you will lose business." The person who brought those fishermen requested it with a little complicated expression.

"They know that my art is better than anyone else. I don't need to show my hypocritical expression." Yoku said this while looking in the wrong direction.

Although Yoku was saying his word, he was looking in the wrong direction.

"Yoku. Look in our direction. We are here." Another person tries to pick up his fault.

"I know where you guys are. Just tell me the requirements. But if you want a good ship, You need to provide better wood. This island doesn't have any goods." Yoku shared his opinion with everyone.

"We know the requirements. So we bought a good-quality tree from a nearby island" another person replied while smiling.

"Do you know the price?" Yoku asks again.

"Yeah. We brought 40 tons of rice and meat," replied the customer.

"Okay, put the woods in that direction. Put the food in my hut." after saying Yoku went away.

Other side of the island.

The Roods Pirate was having a party. The party was held for the winner.

Sometimes ago, there was a competition. Very simple royal rumble competition.

The rules are simple. The last one standing is the winner. So, 20 combatants participated in this competition. And the winner is Zamp. Maybe because he is the eldest of the twenty men.

But Zamp is really a genius. He already knows Iron Block and Shave.

He is second only to Duke, who has reached this level in Navy six-style. Right now, Duke knows Iron Block (own form), Shave, and Moon Step.

After having a good party, Rood stood up.

"Okay everyone. You guys can see your own strength. Which is the result of your hard work?

But remember one thing: The Navy is training harder than you guys. Those guys in the Navy Headquarters are like monsters.

But don't worry; if we work hard, we will reach their strength. And we don't have to hide like this in the future. We will be like Gore D. Roger.

He used to be rampant all over the world. And his partners were also strong.

We will reach that high one day. So all we need to do is: train, eat, sleep, and sail." Rood ended his speech and sat down.

"Captain. Did you know that Pirate King?" A new member asked Rood after his speech ended.

"Nope. It's all the legend that he left in this world. We can understand him by his behavior, enemies, friends, and achievements." Rood, look at everyone in front of him.

"To Survive. To Conquer. To be a legend!" Rood shouted his desire.

At the same time, all the crew looked at their captain with shocking, amazing, etc. expressions and started chanting the slogan that their captain said.

"To Survive. To Conquer. To be a legend"

"To Survive. To Conquer. To be a legend"

"To Survive. To Conquer. To be a legend"

All of them sang all night. Just like that, they fell asleep.

Next day at 11 o'clock in the morning. All of them completely woke up and went to their respective work. The new 20 people don't have that much work. So, they kept practicing, and some people were talking about their new techniques.

Rood and Duke came to the town and looked at Troy, the merchant. Rood told him not to leave this island. Without his order.

After some time, Rood found him in a restaurant.

Rood went to Troy.

"How are you doing? Troy. Everything okay. Did you leave the island? Or someone left the island and didn't come back. Tell me, " Rood asks Troy about everything.

Rood came here every day and asked about the situation.

"Everything is good. Nobody leaves the island for more than one day. They went to catch fish. But sometimes ago, about fifteen new people came here. The came repaired their boat." Troy told him everything he knew.

"As far as I know, this island doesn't have any shipyards. Then who is helping them to repair their ship?" Rood caught the point and asked again.

"I thought you already knew about the famous guy here on this island. He is a shipwright. His skill is also good. But people don't believe him. Because he doesn't understand the quality of wood and trees. Other than this problem, everything is okay." Troy tries to say everything.

but his word is like a chain reaction. Listeners need to ask again to get more information. The listener's urge also became impatient.

"Why can't he understand the quality?" This time, it was Duke who asked the question.

"Because he is blind. But his work is wonderful. Maybe God has taken away something from him, but still give him something else." Troy replied.

"Oh. It's interesting. I want to see how this guy works. Take me to this blind guy." Rood made his proposal.

After some time, Three of them came to other side of the island.

When Rood first came here, It was amazing. With waves and wind all the time. And a scene came before his eyes.

A blind man measured the wooden board with his hand. Then Rood looked at his body and the big hammer beside him.

Right now, he is sitting on the ground. So, they can't tell this man's height. Duke can be sure that this guy's the same height as me or a little taller.

"YOKU! Look, you have some visitors." Troy shouted.

The blind shipwright Yoku looks back in the right direction this time.

"Who are they? Are they here for repair?" Yoku asks and stands up. He took his big hammer on his shoulder. And walking in this direction.

"Oi. Rood, this guy looks strong. But how the hell did he lose his eyes?" Duke who was following Rood suddenly ask.

When Duke asked this, He was whispering. Rood and Duke are looking at the boy in front of them. When Duke just asks the question, Yoku's face changed a little bit, and he looked in the direction of Duke.

'Wow, he can walk blindly and heard Duke whisper from that distance? This is simply an observation of the Haki Monster.'

Duke also has the same idea. But Duke was a little impatient. With a little shaved, he already reached to the face of Yoku and tried to punch him.

But everyone is surprised. Yoku holds the handle of his hammer with his left hand and swings towards Duke.

Duke didn't get the time to react. It was very fast. Duke got blasted away by the force.

Although this force won't injure Duke. But still, This guy is blind and fast.

"I underestimate you. This time, I will be serious."

This time, Duke didn't hold back and came to Yoku and punched his abdomen. Yoku couldn't react like the last time.

Yoku didn't take any rest; this time he held the handle of the hammer with his right hand and came to Duke with the same speed as Duke shaved. And hammer Duke to a distance.

Duke is right now in the form of Iron Block (in his own style); for Duke, it's nothing.

After some time, Yoku started to dodge Duke's attack. So, Duke had to speed up his fight. It's not like Duke doesn't know how to dodge.

But getting beaten is exercise for Duke. So, Duke definitely didn't dodge.

This fight continued for about 5 hours. Right now, both of them are exhausted. They were looking at each other. But the fight was tie.

Rood doesn't know how This Yoku guy can see. But from his skill. Rood knows that he is very skilled.

Rood was looking at Yoku. YOKU was looking at both of them. He was thinking right now.

'If this sword guy came to kill me, I may have already died. Will he try to kill me?

"I am already exhausted. If you want to fight,. Let me rest for a while." Yoku gave his opinion while looking at Rood.

Rood holds his sword and brings it out. And point it toward Yoku. And said.

"The enemy will never give you a chance. Because you are exhausted." After saying this sentence,.

Rood bent his legs and ran towards Yoku with full speed.

At the same time, Rood swing his sword. YOKU noticed a red-colored long sword. But the sword shape changed to that of a long snake-type monster. Before he got to see the scene, he could already feel that this guy was already in front of him.

In the eyes of Duke and Troy. It was just a matter of speed. And there wasn't anything red or snake at all. But in his observation of Yoku, he saw that this person wasn't simple.

Because of an exhausted body. YOKU couldn't react in time. But still, he tries his best to hammer this guy and show his strength.

But he already lost because the Rood sword was already placed on his neck.

Duke wasn't looking at the scenes here. He was looking at the sky.

All of this only took three seconds. And a Rood's cutlass is on Yoku's neck. And Rood stopped his sword about 1 cm away from the skin.

"And that's why you have to rely on your partner so that they can help you when you are exhausted."

"How about this? I am the captain of the Rood Pirate. My name is Rood. I want you to be my partner. And as a shipwright, our ship will be in your hands from now on. What do you say?" While he kept making his proposal, he had already taken his sword away.
