One Piece: Rise - East Blue Saga 4

You had to admit, Clockwork Island, was a pretty amazing looking place. A huge towering spire rising thousands of feet into the air, and holding the actual living residences of the island residents. The town held tightly in place by a massive spinning gear.

And if word of mouth was anything go by, the only way to naturally get up there, was through the spire, and it was filled with traps to kill any invaders.

The sounds of loud whistling streaked through the air, and the water exploded in huge geysers as cannonball after cannonball was shot towards your ship.

"How rude." you snorted, lowering the mini telescope from your eye.

"Yes, how impolite of the pirates to attack us." Carina rolled her eyes from beside you.

By time you had got to the deck after cleaning your eating and drinking utensils and putting them way, the fleet of the Trump Pirates had spotted your ship and began to speed towards the Byakko.

All of their cannon shots were wide though. They were trying to heard the ship so they could come raid them. It was a common pirate tactic when they had the number advantage and didn't want to risk destroying loot.

Instead of trying to flee though, you just had Rebecca keep the ship on a straight course.

You would have just ran over with you Geppou to test it out in live combat and destroy them all. But you felt two decently powerful auras in amongst the thousand of fodder.

Most likely, two main members of the Trump Pirates.

"Your insane, you know that?" Carina added, looking around at the cannonballs hitting the water around the ship warily.

"You realize you could literally blow these ships apart with a single shout right?" you raised an eyebrow at her.

"That's not the point," she huffed, "I'll still get pasted if a cannonball hits me in the face!"

"Just dodge them." you replied, they were so slow after all.

Before Carina could reply, Rebecca locked the helm into place and kick and let the ship begin drifting slowly forward, allowing the fleet of the Trump Pirates to close in.

"Mission complete captain!" the pink haired girl bounced over and gave you a salute.

"Good girl." you pat her on the head, drawing a giggle from her.

"I might have made a big mistake joining this crew." Carina's shoulders slumped in defeat.

Moments later, the ships of the Trump Pirates surrounded the Byakko in a circular fashion.

The biggest of them all, hosting the two strongest auras of them all drifted out in front of your ship and you looked up.

The face of a pretty blonde woman peered over what looked like a large crows nest, and she was entirely naked, you could see most of her breasts squished against the railing. But you could feel warm water within it with your haki.

...She'd turned the crows nest of her ship into a jacuzzi? 'Huh, something to keep in mind.' you mused

"That's Honey Queen," Carina informed you, looking up at the blonde woman with narrowed eyes, "She's got a bounty of seven million eight hundred thousand beri."

"Well now, aren't you a well informed one?" Honey Queen gave a tinkling laughter, her eyes lazily roving over Carina and Rebecca, paying more attention to them as well, "And aren't you two quite lovely? Brother Bear will be delighted to have the pair of you in his bed I dare say."

You were about to open your mouth when you felt the aura of the purple haired woman next to you spike massively as anger surged at the blondes remarks, and a large golden aura exploded out of her, "Raaa!" Carina shouted, unleashing a massive beam of kinetic energy that slammed into the front of Honey Queen's ship, and through it, tearing it apart.

The blonde gave a yelp as she fell through the debris of her ship, exposing her entirely naked body to your eyes. Pretty nice curves on her.

"Wanna repeat that?" Carina smugly laughed.

As the woman fell, she suddenly transformed. Her body become a light purple liquid and shooting towards the three of you, while a another aura jumped through the air, a round, squat fat man following after her through the air, a pig hat on his bald head.

A logia huh? And some kind of liquid based one. That, you were not expecting. That kind of thing would go for a lot of money. And be hella useful in the hands of your crew if you didn't sell it.

You felt Rebecca move at your side, launching herself into the air and towards one of the other ships surrounding the Byakko, and Carina turned away, her aura spiking again as she prepared to fire another massive beam of kinetic energy.

In the blink of an eye you unsheathed the sea stone dao blades from your back and disappeared in a blur of speed with Soru.

Honey Queen solidified as she landed on the ship, "Liquid W-" she thrust her hands out, but that was as far as she got as you appeared behind her and her pretty little head flew through the air, separated from her neck.

"Honey noooo!!!!" the fat man shouted and you felt him fill with rage, sorrow and despair. He began to curl into a ball shape, spikes jutting out of his fat pudgy form as he shot down towards you.

"Rankyaku!" you tensed the muscles in your right leg and kicked out as hard as you could.

A wind blade the length of your leg shot up into the air to meet him and cleaved him in half. The fat man split down the middle, his blood and guts spilling over the deck of your ship as his twin halved corpse landed beside the headless blonde beauty.

You disappeared in a blur of soru a second later when you sensed a mass of cannon balls being launched at your ship. Speeding along the deck with soru and cleaving through the ammunition.

You caught the last one as you came out of soru and tossed it right back, smashing it right through the front of one of the ships and collapsing the front of it, causing it to begin sinking.

All around you, you could feel the panic, terrified auras of pirates who had been sunk with their ships.

You turned to look over your shoulder to see Rebecca up in the air and swinging down her hand, turned into a massive spiked metal mace, the same way Graydle had used against you and snapping a ship right down the middle, while Carina unleashed a third kinetic beam from her mouth with a shout and destroyed a third ship.

Three from Carina, two from Rebecca and one from you.

Only one ship was left. And already you could feel the crew on it beginning to panic in fear and abandoned ship and attempt to flee before the three of you turned your attentions to it.

In a mere two minutes, over a thousand pirates and two big shots of the East Blue were completely decimated by you and your two lovely crew mates.

That was the kind of difference there was between true weaklings of the East Blue, and those that could thrive within the Grand Line.

There was no comparison.
