Gray Terminal?
{No Ones P.O.V}
It's been three years now since Kizaru first ate the pika pika no mi and though he has been training to be able to use it to the fullest extent, he has also been getting into more fights with the animals of the forest without using his devil fruit powers, including turning into light to sustain no damage, now not even the biggest of the animals pose a threat to him without his devil fruit let alone when he uses it, that isn't to say he has been slacking off in his devil fruit training quite the opposite actually he has come up with a few attacks during the years and has trained to perfect the small amount he knows, during this time kizaru had also grown quite a bit, where he used to be 7'6 and had just a bare definition of muscle he is now 8'4 with a lightly muscled body.
Today is special, why? you ask because today kizaru has finally decided to go to Gray Terminal to find a good fight, you may be wondering how he would get a good fight out of the people there when he can easily defeat the beasts of the forest, well the answer to that is simple, humans and other humanoids like fishmen and giants fight much different than animals whether it be their tactics or the way they move, so while they might not be as physically strong as the animals in the forest they could pose as much of a threat or in some cases more.
Moving through the forest we see kizaru grinning in anticipation as he slowly makes his way to Gray Terminal while contemplating a way to attract attention to himself, the best he has come up with so far is to flat out do an Ace and Sabo and just steal peoples berries and anything else they have of value, he starts of with what most would consider a very reckless decision and head over to a small group of people gathered in a clearing in the vast piles of rubbish and says "hand over your valuables and no one gets hurt" they freeze they all turn to see who said that and were initially afraid before seeing that while being tall he couldn't be much older than ten or eleven years old and were instantly laughing at the prospect of a ten maybe eleven year old beating them, their boss, a man who was quite tall himself standing at around 7 foot, wearing a dark blue tank top covered by a light brown jacket, long baggy pants in the same colour and black boots, ordered one of his men to go deal with this.
One of the lackeys walks forward "haha kid, you never should have here" while saying this he draws his sword and takes a swing at him, seeing that they weren't taking kizaru seriously he decided to make them and so he easily dodges the swing and buries his fist right into the guys face and sends him flying at a relatively quick pace straight into a pile of trash, cause a cloud of dust to be kicked up. At this point the group of thugs are just standing there mouths agape and eyes widened in shock at what just played out before there eyes, now deciding to take the kid seriously the group of nine thugs not including the guy that just got his kicked also not including the leader rush in to take him all at once unfortunately this proved to be a bad idea because after dodging a swing of a sword, using his superior strength he grabbed one of thugs leg in the middle of his kick and swung him around hitting two others with him, knocking all three out however he is forced to let go of the leg in order to dodge the sword that was heading towards his outstretched arm, immediately after dodging the strike he spun and kicked out at the side of the guys head knocking him out and sending him flying, during the confusion two of them had sneaked up behind him and tried to stab him, the key word being try as he turns around before they can even reach him and grabs one by his shirt he then proceeds to throw him into the other on injuring them both but not quite knocking them out, however they are out of the fight, leaving three thugs one of which decides he doesn't want to fight the guy that effortlessly took out 6 of them and proceeds to drop his weapon a sprint as fast as he can away, leaving just two who rushed at him at the same time, one of them aims low while the other aims high only to miss when kizaru jumps back and then rush forward faster than they can react he pivots and punches one in the stomach, causing him to spit up blood and pass out, kizaru then spins kicking the other ones feet out from beneath him, continuing to spin he kicks the thug, who is now sideways in midair right in the face instantly knocking him out and sending him spinning away.
The leader who has been watching the entire time, shocked at what the kid can do to nine fully grown men gathers all of his and his crews valuables and puts them in a bag which he then proceeds to throw towards the ten year old who catches it with ease while a look of confusion adorns his face.
"look kid, that's all we have, can you leave now? we obviously can't win against you" he watches as the kid considers before turning and leaving.
Back with kizaru, he is currently on his way home when he hears a grunt of effort and decides to check it out, he walks into the clearing and sees someone he didn't think he would see for a long time, luffy and he seemed to be sparing with another older looking kid who was currently wining easily, he could only assume this was ace as he looked exactly the same as in the show, he saw both of their ears twitch and it was safe to assume they had heard me as in the next few seconds ace was upon him already mid swing with his steel pipe unfortunately for him kizaru saw this coming grabbed the extended pole which he failed to rip from my grasp because of kizaru's superior strength, he then jumps back only to hear luffy scream "YOU!!" in recognition before picking his ear with a pinkie and saying "who are you?" with a look of utter confusion, ace who had turned to look at luffy, and kizaru face plant, before picking ourselves up.
Kizaru looks at him like he's an idiot "it's me Borsalino, you know the kid your age but is taller than most adults, how do you forget someone like that?" luffy then looks like he finally remembers him "oh, now I remember your the idiot who thinks he can beat in becoming the pirate king" he says with an added "hmph".
kizaru then remembers something "anyway while i'm here I just wanted to tell you that the before you set out to start your adventure, ask makino where I live and come and get me so that we can start as equals" Luffy seems to contemplate this for a split second before humming in agreement "alright then bye, i'll see you in seven years" kizaru then leaves the clearing and heads home, thinking about how eventful today turned out to be, finding himself to be getting giddy about becoming a pirate 'I can't wait'.
