[Chapter Size: 1800 Words.]
Third Person POV
Sabaody Archipelago, First Half of Grandline.
...
...
The Sabaody Archipelago is a prominent island for pirate gatherings, as the last stop before these notorious groups finally enter the waters of the New World. Each year, various famous pirates would gather, and prominent groups would form at this location, becoming local celebrities after building their fame on the journey through the first half of the Grand Line and preparing to venture into the second half. As each year passed, these notorious pirates would discover that the waters of the New World were far more turbulent than those of the Grand Line, and they would understand why this place was nicknamed paradise. After all, they were trying to survive in seas dominated by the Yonkou. While many were destroyed and erased from history, some ended up under the wings of the great pirates, as the emperors always hoped to recruit powerful subordinates to further increase their strength and influence in the New World. A small minority managed to survive, trying to establish their place in the New World independently and even overthrow a Yonkou to take their place.
Sabaody was a place where all these pirates met before their perilous journey into the next waters. Besides the meeting of these notorious pirates, the island also harbored many illegal trades, such as slave sales and other items that could be sold at auctions banned in most of the world, operating through the underworld, attracting people with money, including criminals, nobles, and even the Tenryuubitos.
But what was most in the air of the archipelago was still its concentration of great rookie pirates. This particular year had become the year with the most super-rookies since the era of pirates began with the end of Roger. A super-rookie was always a type of forecast for what kind of change the world would have; they were people wanted with bounties above 100 million who achieved this even before touching the New World, and this specific year was dubbed the worst generation.
In the middle of a square by tree number 25, a fight began so quickly that even the people there could not react. A large man, with small wings, characteristic of the people from Skypea, fought against a man with an 'X' on his chin. The large man was Urouge, captain of the Fallen Monk Pirates, bounty: 108,000,000. The second man was X Drake, Captain of the Drake Pirates, bounty: 222,000,000. The fight continued as one contested the other; Urouge used a wooden trunk to fight while X Drake used his fencing-style sword, a Foil. The fight continued as many onlookers would look on, and while the fight went on, without the people taking their curious eyes off. An explosion occurred in the establishment next to that street, causing smoke to envelop the entire place. As it disappeared, a man with long arms appeared, looking at the hole, posing with his long hand.
From the hole emerged a man with scars, looking at the other. "You bastard..." grinding his teeth, they were both starting a fight at that moment with the first ones. One was Scratchmen Apoo, a member of the long-arm tribe and captain of the On Air Pirates, bounty: 198,000,000. The man with the scars was none other than Eustass Kid, captain of the Kid Pirates, bounty: 350,000,000. As this was happening, the other two who were fighting earlier approached them, as a consequence of their fights, and as they exchanged blows getting closer, a fifth man appeared there running, he jumped spinning a sword and struck against Urouge and X Drake, catching their attention. "I can't let you interfere with my captain's fight..." He spoke while quickly sheathing his swords. This was a member of the Kid Pirates: Killer, Bounty: 162,000,000.
All these five men continued with the fight among themselves, representing the iconic worst generation. "All these pirates above 100 million..." someone exclaimed. "They won't stop fighting... what will happen!?" A second asked. "It's obvious they are contesting each other, unfortunately this island is the meeting between them, we must be careful," another spoke. As the battle continued on the street, at a restaurant at the end of that street, a waiter was walking slowly until he bumped into a pirate and fell to the ground dazed. "I apologize, sir," the waiter said, but the pirate did not seem to accept.
"You bastard, you've got me all dirty!" he exclaimed as he drew his sword, ready to cut down the poor wretch. However, he was stopped by the hand of the man with the sword, who looked towards his Captain.
This man was: Basil Hawkins, Captain of the Hawkins Pirates, bounty: 249,000,000.CHeCk for new stories on no/v/el/bin(.)c0m
"No, you should not kill him, after all, this man is not going to die today," he said while holding a card, seeming to read something on it and calming his subordinate.
“Where's the waiter!?” Meanwhile, at another table, a girl spoke while eating, waiting for her late waiter to come so she could order more pizza.
"I want more pizza," she exclaimed, as feathered youths lowered the imposing man at the demand of their captain.
This woman was: Jewelry Bonney, captain of the Bonney Pirates, bounty:140,000,000.
At another table nearby, a man dressed in a mafia-style suit seemed quite bothered by this and looked frustrated, watching the woman eat in an uncouth manner, appearing wild as she sat with her legs in an unladylike pose.
"You, take her out," he ordered his men who were also dressed as mafiosos, wearing suits and Italian-style hats.
This man was: Capone Bege, captain of the Fire Tank Pirates, bounty:138,000,000.
"But, Dom Bege, she is a pira..." Before he could finish, the Captain himself struck him, making the man fall instantly. "I don't care, just eliminate her. I don't want excuses," he said. As his men were unsure what to do.
The island had been filled by these 8 powerful pirates, while it became the generation with the most notorious pirates. However, this era was far from ending with just that. After all, there was one group that stood out above all others. Not only because it was the largest this year, but because it was worse than any that had emerged in the great pirate era.
