Years 1500.

South Blue.

On an uninhabited, medium-sized island. Two pirate groups were rushing towards each other, like winning was their only goal.

One is the Rood Pirate, and their opponent is the Horn Pirate. The Captain of the Horn pirate is Zaizoo. His weapon is two medium-sized sabres. Height is similar to Rood, but anyone can tell at a glance that Zaizoo's brute force is larger than Rood. Rood’s speed is very good; Zaizoo can tell by looking at his opponent.

About three days ago, Horn pirates looted a small island. Zaizoo had fought a good fighter on that island. But in front of his sabres and force, that fighter wasn't anything. His confidence has grown from that fight.

The opponent (Rood) has only 20 men under his command. But Zaizoo has 37 members under his command, which also makes him more relaxed in this fight.

"Let me see if I can put that brat under my command; then I will have even more strength." Zaizoo’s said while waiting for the boys to act.

Rood was the first person to reach the Horn Pirate. Although the Captain of the Horn pirates didn't act and were walking behind everyone, making a face like (Don't give a shit) with confidence.

Seeing as the opponent didn't take it seriously, Rood confirmed two things.

'One: Zaizoo is underestimating me. Two: Zaizoo has confidence in his capability.'

'One: It's an advantage. All I need to do is take my opponent seriously. Two: It's a disadvantage; I must focus on finding the opponent's weakness most of the time.'

Roods didn't get angry or happy, and his face did not fluctuate a little bit.

Rood took action against some cannon fodder; it took 5 minutes to completely kill 10 people. After killing them, Rood reached the opposing captain with blood on his face. Although he didn't show any expression, which meant his breathing, he started to breathe a little disorderly.

Rood slashed his sabre, which was blocked by the opponent. Zaizoo blocks the upcoming sabre with his sword and slashes Rood with his left-hand sword.

In less than a second, Rood takes back his sword to block the opponent's coming sword. To his surprise, he had already taken one step back and thought, 'Wow, what a force! This must be his confidence.

Without thinking anymore, both of them start to fight. Every time Rood tries to block the opponent, he feels his hand go numb from the sabre vibration. 'Is everyone in this world so strong? If I can defeat him, it will be a big breakthrough in my life.'

Nine combatants acted from behind; seeing their captain take the lead, they also became more energetic.

Cooper and Oscar started to fight with their swords, although they are not proficient. They are trying their best to defend; they know the consequence is only death.

Hazel, with two light hammers, chooses his opponent, a six-foot-fat man.

Hugh and Harlow, with their daggers, have already slashed the opponents.

Audrey and Beckett is right behind everyone; his fighting style is like Duke V-Captain.

Cole and Cleo are trying to shoot the opponent with their guns because of the target's movement.

Duke (first mate), Mokume (chef), and K. Kish (navigator) each kill one cannon fodder in a minute.

Duke's next opponent is Zaizoo's first mate and his two men.

Mokume opponent is a person who fights with a sword.

6. Kish opponent is also a strong and 6.2-foot-tall person.

Five brothers with guns were trying to shoot, but they had to be cautious if they accidentally killed their own.

45 minutes later.

Audrey was already dead, he died because he chose the wrong opponent, his opponent had a sword. Before his death, Rood and Duke tried to reach that place, but their opponent didn't let them. Beckett was fine.

The other eight combatants are already exhausted but still able to kill the opponent; it took them 25 minutes. Duke, Mokume, and K. Kish three of them kill their last opponents in 45 minutes. They aren't that exhausted.

The last one standing is their captain, Rood. His face isn't that calm like when he starts the fight.

But Zaizoo's face has changed a lot. Although he is struggling a little, that doesn't mean he has reached the limit. If Rood isn't here, he will be able to kill the rest of the crew members with that little bit of strength.

Zaizoo's face changed when all his crew were dead. At first, he thought he had some advantages, but now that he is alone and fighting against a pirate group, his face has become even more ugly. He looks at the opponent. At the beginning, his opponent didn't have that much strength, but now that brat can fight with him with just one sword.

I thought having two swords was an advantage. Thinking about all of this, his face started to get ugly.

Rood was doing his best and trying to understand where his shortcomings were. At first, he couldn't keep up with those two swords and that brute force. May be this is the miracle of this world: "If you don't give up, your every step will make you stronger."

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

While their fighting was at its peak, Rood suddenly heard laughter coming from behind.

Duke said mockingly," Captain, there is nothing to learn from that guy anymore; just kill him."

"Let me drain every bit that I can learn from him that is left in him." Rood said this while fighting Zaizoo.

Zaizoo's face changed even more; he started fighting like crazy, while Rood blocked every attack that came towards him like a machine.

After 7 minutes, Zaizoo exhaled. He can't fight any more; he doesn't want to live any more. Until he gave up and kneeled, Rood took a deep breath, slashed his kneck, and sliced it down with his sabre.

Rood takes a deep look at the cloudy sky, and his previous memories flash for a few seconds.

Before he came to this world, he used to work for the mafia. Same as in this world, he was orphan; he gathered some orphans just like him, and his career under that mafia as a leader of a group of 40 people. So, this fighting and killing is not anything new to him.

After that, Rood went to sit beside Duke. look at his sword and say regretfully, "See, I told you, this sea is very chaotic; already one of our crew members is dead. You guys already took a lot of rest; go and check that ship; see if you can find anything."

Navigator K. Kish and five brothers went to the ship.

After 15 minutes, they came out with everything they found on that ship.

To their surprise, they also came with a 22-year-old boy whose hands and feet were strangled with a long rope.

Count of kill

[Rood] 11. [Duke] 4.[Mokume] 2.[K. Kish] 2. [Lucky & Gable] 2. [8 Combatants] (each). (Beckett 2) [Five Brothers] killed 8.

[Audrey]Dead

The Roods pirate is resting on the windy beach. A 22-year-old boy stood in front of them with a fighting posture.

[Name: Zamp.] [22 years.] [Height: 6 feet.] [Hair colour: white.]

He used to live on an island in South Blue. Four days ago, a pirate group looted everything from his turban. He wasn't there at Turban when that pirate came. He received that turban from his father. After he came back, everything was a mass. He was so angry that, without taking any precautions, he went to fight with that pirate group.

He learned his fighting technique from his father. His father used to be a winemaker on a pirate ship, so he doesn't have any grudges against pirates. The moment he started to fight that pirate; he realised that the captain of the pirate was a swordsman.

In just two minutes, he got a huge scar on his face. The pirate caught him and tortured him to join his pirate, but he refused.

His father taught him how to fight. His way of teaching is, "How many punches can you throw in a second?"

That's how he always tries to improve his speed. He never thinks about defence. After this fight, he started to think about how he could enhance his defence.

"What happened to you? Why did those pirates kidnap you?" Rood started to investigate Zamp while he was still sitting on the sandy beach. He doesn't think much about Zamp's fighting posture.

Zamp was shocked for a moment, although the guy in front of him didn't react much to seeing him. Zamp can tell that this guy is a strong man. Without thinking much, he tells them what happened to him in the past three days. About his dead father Bussiness etc.

"Well, you can take that pirate ship and go back to your home." Rood didn't think much; it's a daily story. On every island.

"Well, everyone, take rest. Mokume, you hunt some little animals from the forest and make something to eat for tonight. Duke let's go. You go make a shelter. I think there will be a storm tonight. Five brethren’s You guys are on the watch." Rood started to distribute their work and went to help Duke. "

Zamp went to the ship and started to prepare to sail. He doesn't know what's in his head; he can't concentrate on his work. Half an hour later, he stopped his work. and look back at the island. I don't know why, but his heart is telling him to go back to that island.

When he was 7 years old, his father used to tell him about his adventures as a pirate. So, one day, he asked his father," Dad, when did you decide to be a pirate?" His father just smiled at him and didn't tell him anything specific. That smile was saying to him like, "Only mature person will understand."

Without thinking much, he went to the place where the Roods pirates were resting.

Later, when Rood returned, he saw that Zamp still hadn't left.

"What happened? Why didn't you leave? Boy, we are pirates. Do you know what we do when we catch a beautiful little boy like you?" Although Rood seems to be gloomier when he says that, for his crew members, it makes it even more hilarious. So, everyone suppresses their laughter and starts to act like a hungry animal.

"Can I stay for one night? I think there will be a big storm tonight. I will leave tomorrow." Hearing Roods pirate-like speech, he knows those pirates are making fun of him. He still suppresses his anger. and request them.

"Oh, one-night stand? Then you will sleep with my friend Duke. I know those pirates strangled you with ropes, but Duke here knows a great massage technique. Hah Hah Hah." Rood started mocking that boy.

"Hey, since when did I learn that massage technique? Don't spread rumours." Duke got angry and screamed when he heard that.

All crew members started to laugh when Rood cornered their V-Captain.

All night, they spent it like that, and Zamp somehow got mixed up with them without anyone noticing until they went to sleep without worrying about anything.

After the stormy night, when they got up in the morning, they found only their ship at the beach. So, Rood didn't think much; it may be that Zamp went away when they were still sleeping.

Three hours later, everyone was looking at their captain and waiting for command.

"Okay, I understand. Let me think for a moment." Rood looked at his crew foolishly.

"Everyone, we will stay on this island for one month. You guys saw that one of our crew members died in the last battle. just because he went to fight with a guy who fought with a sword."

"Everyone goes to our previous plan, except for those who fight with their fists and legs." Rood made up his mind to inform them about Navy Six style.

In the previous battle, two assistants of K. Kish (the navigator) fought without any weapons. so they didn't go back; they stayed with Rood for further instruction. While Rood was preparing his memory to share his thoughts, something fell from a coconut tree right beside them, which startled them.

Rood looked beside him, which also shocked him a little bit.

"Zamp, you still didn't go? Why are you still here? And where is that ship?" Rood, look at Zamp, and ask seriously.

"Captain, I want to join your pirate group! I am a very good fighter, plus I have learned winemaking from my father." Without replying to the Roots question, Zamp shouted so that everyone could hear his request.

"Do you know what you are saying right now? We aren’t here to play: house like children. It's very dangerous. Already, one of our members is dead. We couldn't even help him when he was asking for our help. Go home; take care of your father's business." Rood said every word in a serious mood.

"Captain, I told you my father was a pirate; I also want to be a pirate." Zamp didn't give up a bit. He knows very well that what Rood said is true. Still, his heart is telling him to go forward and see that dangerous world.

Rood also wanted to recruit Zamp when he saw him first. But he is still trying his best not to recruit until he can protect them.

"Okay, this is Vice-Captain Duke, Helmsman Lucky, and Gable, Beckett. Zamp, sit here. Let me tell you something about the Navy and their abilities." Rood took a deep breath and decided to recruit him.

"Every time the Navy recruits a lot of soldiers, they select some good-quality soldiers from them for special training. After they were sent to the Navy headquarters, where the training will take place, the first thing they learned there was: Navy Six Style [Rokushiki].

"It's a high-quality superhuman martial art."

"Rood, don't tell me that you know those martial arts." Duke was the first person to react when he learned that his childhood friend was secretly learning Navy martial arts.
