Luffy was walking through the back alleys towards the ship. He was trying to remain inconspicious. While taking in the sight of the back alley he noticed a neon sign that read. "The pirate king." Slightly interested he entered the establishment. Once he entered he looked around. It was a bar and most importantly, it was empty. It was around noon so it was to be expected. He walked to the counter and sat down. He looked at the old barman. He looked to be about sixty and had gray hair. He didn't stand out. Luffy ordered a beer. The old barman put a pint in front of him. "Welcome Kamikaze, to my humble establishment." Luffy almost sprayed beer out of his mouth. He managed to swallow and then looked the barman straight in the eyes. The barman just pointed at a wall behind Luffy. The wall was filled with wanted posters. Kamikaze nodded slightly to himself. "You gonna call the marines." The barman shook his head. "My brother was a pirate, I don't mind them really." Luffy stared at his beer. "So old man. What's there to do on this island. " The barman laughed. "Sakumo." Luffy hummed, then shook the man's hand. "Luffy." They released eachother's hands. "Well." Sakumo started. "You could go see the execution platform, but you've already been. The other thing worth mentioning is the marine base. It's the last one before the grand line and it's one of the biggest in East Blue. The captain here. Smoker. That man has no love lost for pirates. You would do well to avoid him. He is a devil fruit user like yourself. Yes, it would truly be best if you avoid him altogether." Luffy thought for a second. "I'll take your advice to heart Sakumo, but if it comes to a fight I wont lose." Sakumo started polishing a glass. "Many men had said the same thing and Smoker destroyed them." Luffy laughed. "Well, I'm not just any man. Let him come." Luffy took a long gulp of his beer, emptying the glass. He set the glass on the table. "Well I'm off, thank you for the info Sakumo, may you live a long life." The bartender put the cloth on the table and leaned on the counter. "Good luck Luffy," Luffy waved and he was gone. Sakumo stared at the wanted poster. "Kids these days." His eyes widened. "He didnt't pay for the beer! Damn pirate." Then he started laughing. "Interesting, that one."

A gunshot yanked out. "Shit, I missed." Cursed Usopp. Tenzo laughed. "It's to be expected. You need practice. Practice."

Nami, Usopp and Tenzo were currently on the deck of the Dancing dragon. Tenzo was training Usopp in hitting stationary targets. For the target they chose a pole that was sticking out of the sea. It was about 70 feet away from the ship. "Try again Usopp." Said Tenzo. Nami stopped leaning on the ship and came behind Tenzo and hugged him loosely. "When is it my turn?" Tenzo turned around and planted a chaste kiss on her lips. "Usopp, It's Nami's turn now." Usopp looked away from the target. "Aww, but we just started." Tenzo turned towards Usopp and gave him a look. "Yeah, true, but you have to take into account that she hasn't fired a gun before, While we've been practicing for days now with my guns." Usopp's nose became even longer. "Meh, fine. Good luck Nami." Nami nodded and went into position. She held her gun with both hands. Tenzo quickly came behind her and leaned into her, his hands covering hers. He corrected her grip and then moved away. Nami kept blushing when she pressed the trigger. The shot flew and drilled right inside of the pole. "Yes, I did it!" At that moment Sanji came from the hull with a plate of sandwiches and another of drinks. "Refreshments guys and congrats Nami. I saw that. " Nami smiled while taking her drink. "Thank you Sanji-kun." Tenzo looked around the port. "Say, crew...What do you think the captain is doing." Nami took a sip of her cool drink. "Probably getting chased by marines, same for Zoro." Tenzo hummed in thought while scratching his beard. "We need to get the ship ready to leave, but first, let's eat." Sounds of "aye" could be heard.

Luffy decided to forgo stealth and went to the main street. He was running in a slight jog when he saw a flash of green. "Zoro!" Zoro turned around. "Huh? Luffy!" Kamikaze stopped next to Zoro. "Did you get your swords?" Zoro spat on the floor, annoyed. "I got one, then i got pissed and had to leave the store. People are so annoying." Luffy laughed at his misfortune. "Hah I get you. Well we'll get you another sword sometime. Anyways the marines are looking for me, let's run to the ship." Zoro nodded. "After that proclamation i'd be nuts to find you aswell if I were a marine. " Luffy nodded and together they quickened their pace in the direction of the dancing dragon.

"Stop! Kamikaze! Stop in the name of the marines!" Zoro and Luffy kept running when their path was crossed by a woman. She pulled out her sword and aimed it at Luffy. "Stop pirate scum." Luffy and Zoro stopped. "Luffy, go ahead. I'll take care of her. I know her." Luffy glanced at Zoro. "Alright I'll see you on the ship." Luffy ran past the woman and dissapeared in the crowd. Tashigi looked at Zoro. "So you're a pirate." Zoro just watched her sword. "What's it to you." Tashigi narrowed her eyes. "Those swords suffer being alongside a bad person like you. I will take them from you." Zoro's eyes widened. He eyed Tashigi's katana. "That is a meito right? Shigure you called it." Tashigi nodded, her eyes narrowing. Zoro continued. "Then I propose this. We fight, and the winner gets the opponent's swords. Deal?" The marine liutenant didn't wait for the start. She rushed at Zoro with her sword raised above her head. Zoro unsheathed his swords. Using his crappy sword he blocked the overhead strike. The sword broke and he received a tiny slash on his chest. Tashigi smiled triumphantly and went in for a second strike. Zoro was angry. "Piece of shit sword!" he yelled while sidestepping. As soon as he dodged the blow he slashed at Tashigi's belt. The sword cut through leather like it was butter. The marine's pants fell down to her knees and because she was overextended, a kick, courtesy of Zoro sent her falling on the cold ground. Zoro moved fast and stepped next to her, grabbed her head and immediately after, her glasses. "You have too many weaknesses." And then he crushed her glasses. He gloated for a second and then he pulled Shigure out of her grip and sheathed his new sword. "Thank you for the weapon, I'll make good use of it. Bye now. " He saluted and dissappeared in a steady run. The marine started crying.

Luffy was running through the streets. Getting nearer his crew and ship by the second. A group of marines were running after him. He ignored them. As he ran he started hearing the sound of a machine and it was getting louder. Just as it sounded like it was on top of him, his path was crossed by a man on a motorbike. Luffy stopped in front of the man on the bike and stared. The man stepped down from the bike and lit a cigar. He had a white jacket and black pants. The jacket was unzipped showing his midriff for all to see. "You shouldn't have come here Kamikaze." Luffy narrowed his eyes. "You must be captain Smoker." Smoker smiled. "Ahh I see my reputation precedes me." He took another cigar from his jacket and lit it." Luffy stared. "two cigars, you really have no fear." Smoker laughed. "I could say the same for you Monkey. D. Luffy., You dare come into my town and do that shit at the execution platform." His face became murderous. "I should kill you where you stand. " Luffy looked offended. "I dont have time for this. Kaze no yaiba." The blade of wind flew right into Smoker's bike. It exploded spectacularly, while the captain became a great amount of white smoke and reformed in front of luffy, his jutte in hand. He stabbed towards Luffy. Instead of dodging, Kamikaze went into wind form, but was unceremoniusly thrown on the floor as the jutte hit him. He yelled in pain. "Shit! Seastone!" Smoker laughed. "You are correct Kamikaze. The tip of my jutte has seastone on it. No more monkey business from you hahahahah." Luffy slowly stood up and started thinking. "He's a logia so my wind attacks wont do anything, well unless I reinforce them with haki. Yeah, he wont be expecting that." Luffy threw a kick towards smoker. "Kaze no daikatana." A massive blade of wind appeared and shot off towards smoker at the height of his waist. Smoker was about to go into smoke form when he noticed something weird with the blade. It had a white sheen. "Haki." He thought and threw himself on the ground. The blade flew past his head and hit a few marines, cutting them into pieces. It continued even further away where it finaly stopped as it hit a building, cutting it cleanly in half.

Luffy didnt't waste time and ran towards smoker and sent a haki reinforced kick towards his head, he missed and hit his shoulder. A crack could be heard. Smoker's shoulder was broken. "I underestimated you Kamikaze." Luffy nodded. "As did I, you will never hit me, ever again."

Smoker spat on the floor. "A bit cocky arent we." Luffy ignored him and and rushed him again. He unsheathed his tanto and deflected Smoker's Jutte and threw himself head first into Smoker. Using Haki to reinforce all his movements he knocked Smoker on the floor and started pounding on him using his ability to speed himself up. Left hook, right hook, broken nose, right hook. His hands blurred as he was pounding on the captain. All the witnesses later would have said that it looked like the man didnt even have arms, he was moving so fast. After the beating Luffy stood up. He looked down at Smoker. The man seemed to still be conscious, which testified to his strength. It's not everyday a man gets thirty haki empowered blows to his head. Luffy started to walk away. "Stop, Kamikaze." Luffy stopped walking. "We are done here Smoker. Stay here in your little safe town and beat on weak little pirates. We have nothing to talk about." And with that said he walked off.

There you go. 2 chapters in 2 days. I'm sorry for not updating for almost 4 months. I'm a lazy guy and didn't feel like it. I hope you think the fight scenes are ok. I know they're short, but i'm trying to make the kamikaze's win with smarts not simply brawn. I don't know when I'll update next but it'll probably be within a week. No promises tho. Anyways If you liked this chapter or just think this story is good please review. I also take criticism.
