One Piece: A New Path

Chapter 2: Ch.2 ??? vs Kid Pirates



Kid roared, slamming his metal fist into the ground, sending splinters and shards of rock flying in all directions. "Who the fuck do you think you are?" His voice boomed across the ruined docks.

I cracked my neck, ignoring the sting of blood dripping from a shallow cut on my arm. "Just someone cleaning up trash."

"Trash, huh?" Kid grinned, his teeth stained with blood. "I'm gonna rip you apart!"

Killer rushed forward first, his twin scythes spinning like a whirlwind. "Get ready to bleed!"

I shifted my stance, dodging the initial sweep of his weapons. The air hissed as the blades missed my face by inches. Killer's speed was impressive, but I'd seen faster. I stepped into his range and slammed my knee into his ribs, sending him skidding back.

[Tekkai] My body hardened as Wire's chain lashed out, aiming to wrap around my neck. The metal links shattered on impact, and Wire's eyes widened.

"Shit! He's tougher than he looks!" Wire yelled, stumbling back.

I didn't give him a chance to recover.

[Shigan!] My finger jabbed forward, piercing through his shoulder like a bullet. Wire screamed, clutching the wound as blood sprayed out.

"Wire!" Heat shouted, fire bursting from his mouth as he charged.

I leapt into the air, dodging the flames. The heat licked at my skin, but it wasn't enough to burn. "You'll have to try harder than that!"

Mid-air, I spun and aimed my leg downward. [Rankyaku: Kiba!] A crescent blade of air shot toward Heat, tearing through the docks and slamming into his chest. He was flung backward, crashing through several crates.

Kid bellowed in rage, his arm transforming into a massive cluster of jagged scrap metal. "You're dead!" He swung his arm like a wrecking ball, aiming to crush me.

[Soru!] I vanished from my spot, reappearing behind him. "Your aim sucks."

Kid spun, his arm smashing into the ground where I had been. The explosion sent debris flying, and I shielded my face with my arms. Killer took advantage of the chaos, closing the distance and slashing at my side.

The blades bit into my flesh, drawing blood, but I didn't flinch. "You're persistent."

[Rokuogan!] My fists collided with Killer's chest, unleashing a shockwave that sent him tumbling across the docks. He coughed up blood but managed to stagger to his feet.

"Not done yet," he growled, his scythes spinning faster.

Wire lunged at me again, his chain swinging in a wide arc. I sidestepped and grabbed the chain, yanking him forward. He stumbled, and I drove my elbow into his jaw. His head snapped back, and I followed up with a kick to his stomach, sending him sprawling.

[Geppo!] I launched myself into the air as Heat unleashed another torrent of fire. The flames engulfed the spot where I'd been standing, but I dropped down behind him.

[Shigan: Barrage!] My fingers stabbed into his back repeatedly, each strike leaving bloody holes. Heat screamed, falling to his knees.

"Heat, get up!" Kid roared, his arm lashing out to swat me away. I flipped backward, landing on my feet.

"You're not looking so tough now," I said, cracking my knuckles.

Kid's face twisted in fury. "I'm gonna tear you apart limb by limb!"

His metal arm morphed again, spikes and claws forming as he charged at me. I ducked under his swing and countered with a punch to his gut. The impact sent a shockwave through his body, but he barely flinched.

"You'll need more than that!" Kid grabbed me with his mechanical claw, lifting me off the ground.

"Big mistake."

[Tekkai Kenpo: Seismic Break!] My hardened fist slammed into his claw, shattering the metal and forcing him to release me.

"Bastard!" Kid staggered back, holding his arm.

Killer rushed in again, his scythes gleaming under the moonlight. I parried his strikes with my forearms, each clash ringing out like thunder.

His moves are predictable, I catch one of his scythes and snapping it in half. Killer cursed, jumping back as I advanced.

Wire and Heat regrouped, standing side by side.

"This guy's a monster," Wire muttered, blood dripping from his mouth.

"No shit," Heat growled, flames flickering in his hands.

They charged together, Wire's chain whipping toward me while Heat unleashed another wave of fire. I dodged the chain and countered with a Rankyaku, the air blade slicing through the flames and hitting Heat square in the chest.

Wire swung his chain again, wrapping it around my arm.

"Gotcha now!" he shouted.

I smirked.

[Soru!] I vanished, reappearing behind him. The chain went slack as I drove my fist into the back of his head. Wire collapsed to the ground, unmoving.

"Wire!" Heat yelled, his flames roaring as he lunged at me in a blind rage.

[Kami-e!] My body twisted unnaturally, dodging his attack with ease. I grabbed his arm and twisted it, forcing him to his knees.

[Shigan: Heart Strike!] My finger pierced through his chest, hitting his heart. Heat gasped, blood spilling from his mouth as his body went limp.

I dropped him to the ground, stepping over his corpse. "Two down."

Kid's face contorted in rage, veins bulging in his neck. "You're gonna fucking pay for that!"

He charged at me, his mechanical arm reforming into a massive hammer. Killer followed, his remaining scythe aimed at my throat.

"Wow! Hehe, that was close ~"

Kid's roar echoed across the docks, a guttural sound of pure rage. His massive metal arm reformed into a jagged blade, gleaming with menace under the flickering light of the burning warehouses. The ground beneath his boots cracked as he charged at me, each step a thunderous impact.

"YOU'RE FUCKING DEAD!"

Killer trailed close behind him, his remaining scythe gripped tightly in his hand. Blood dripped from his wounds, but his eyes burned with determination.

I stood in the middle of the ruined docks, my breathing steady despite the blood staining my clothes. My muscles ached, but I couldn't afford to slow down now.

Kid lunged, swinging his blade down with all his might.

[Soru!] I vanished, reappearing to his right as the blade slammed into the ground, shattering the planks and sending splinters flying.

Killer was on me in an instant, his scythe slicing horizontally. I ducked, feeling the wind of the blade passing over my head, and countered with a kick to his knee.

[Shigan: Stinger!] My finger jabbed toward his chest, but Killer twisted at the last second, the strike grazing his ribs instead. He grunted, spinning his scythe again in a deadly arc.

Kid came at me from the other side, his blade arm swinging with relentless force. I dodged backward, narrowly avoiding the attack. The blade carved a deep gash in the ground, sparks flying as it scraped against the stone beneath.

"You're fast," Kid growled, his lips curling into a savage grin. "But I'm stronger!"

He swung again, and this time I met his attack head-on.

[Tekkai Kenpo: Iron Barrage!] My fists collided with his blade in rapid succession, each strike creating shockwaves that rippled through the air. Kid snarled, pushing forward with sheer brute force, but I held my ground, my strikes growing sharper with each clash.

Killer seized the opportunity, his scythe coming at me from the side.

[Kami-e!] My body twisted unnaturally, bending out of the blade's path. I countered with a spinning kick to his head, the impact sending him stumbling to the side.

"Stay focused, Killer!" Kid barked, his blade arm retracting and reforming into a spiked mace.

I didn't give them a chance to regroup.

[Rankyaku: Maelstrom!] I unleashed a flurry of air blades, each one cutting through the chaos of the battlefield. Killer dodged to the left, his agility impressive, but Kid charged straight through, the spikes on his mace deflecting the blades.

"Is that all you've got?" Kid sneered, swinging the mace in a wide arc.

I ducked under the swing and launched myself into the air.

[Geppo!] Using the air itself as a platform, I shot downward with a powerful kick aimed at Kid's head.

[Iron Hide!] Kid's covered his body in metal plates hardened, and my kick landed with a metallic thud. The force of the impact sent him skidding back, but he remained on his feet, his grin never faltering.

"You'll have to hit harder than that!"

Killer came at me again, his movements a blur as he unleashed a flurry of strikes. His scythe danced through the air, each swing aimed at a vital spot.

[Soru!] I darted around him, dodging each attack with precision. His strikes were fast, but they lacked the power to break through my defenses.

I countered with a series of jabs, my fingers targeting his joints.

[Shigan: Nerve Strike!] Each hit disrupted his movements, slowing him down bit by bit.

"Damn it!" Killer hissed, his scythe slipping from his grasp as I struck his wrist.

Kid roared in fury, charging at me with reckless abandon.

[Tekkai Kenpo: Avalanche Crush!] I met his charge with a powerful downward strike, my hardened fists colliding with his mace. The impact created a shockwave that tore through the docks, sending debris flying in all directions.

Kid staggered back, blood dripping from a cut above his eye.

"You're pissing me off!" he spat, his mace reforming into a massive cannon.

[Magnet Cannon: Desolation Shot!] He fired a blast of compressed metal shards, the projectiles tearing through the air like bullets.

[Kami-e: Phantom Drift!] I weaved through the storm of metal, my movements fluid and unpredictable.

The shards grazed my skin but failed to find their mark.

I closed the distance between us, my fists glowing with power.

[Rokuogan!] The shockwave hit Kid square in the chest, sending him flying backward. He crashed through a stack of crates, splinters exploding around him.

"Kid!" Killer shouted, lunging at me with renewed fury.

I caught his arm mid-swing, twisting it until I heard a crack. Killer screamed, dropping to his knees.

"You're out of your league," I said coldly, driving my knee into his stomach.

Killer coughed up blood, his body trembling as he tried to stand.

"Don't you fucking dare!" Kid roared, pulling himself from the wreckage. His cannon arm transformed again, this time into a massive claw.

He charged at me, his claw swiping with devastating force.

[Rankyaku: Fang Strike!] I sent an air blade toward him, but he batted it aside with ease.

The claw came at me again, and I met it with a counterstrike.

[Tekkai Kenpo: Iron Reaper!] My fists clashed with his claw, sparks flying with each impact.

Behind me, Killer struggled to his feet, his scythe lying forgotten on the ground. He reached for a knife at his belt, his eyes burning with desperation.

I turned just in time to see him lunging at me, the blade aimed at my throat.

[Soru!] I vanished, reappearing behind him.

[Shigan: Fatal Blow!] My finger pierced through his back, striking his heart.

Killer froze, his eyes wide with shock. Blood spilled from his mouth as he crumpled to the ground.

"KILLER!" Kid's scream was filled with agony and rage.

The docks fell silent for a moment, the sound of crackling flames the only noise.

The docks fell silent for a moment, the sound of crackling flames the only noise.

Kid's breathing was ragged, his body trembling as he stared at Killer's lifeless form.

"You're gonna pay for that," he growled, his voice low and dangerous.

I didn't respond, my gaze steady as I prepared for the next round. Kid wasn't done yet, and neither was I.
