Fisher’s Tale Pt. 1

After a few days of just fishing with King by his side, Fisher was heading to a new fishing spot since his last one was getting a bit thin on fish as he used his flames to propel himself to a different area of Sixis, the island he was currently stranded on.

"*Sigh* how much longer do I need to be here? Is this gonna be what? Days? Weeks? Maybe even a few months here?"

System- ETA 2-3 months until arrival…

"… Can I at least get a gate or something so I can go home and eat real food?" He says as he lands back on the ground and kneels in the sand looking off towards the sea.

And as if his answers were heard I appeared not to far away, "Owen! How's life on a deserted island?"

"Kiddo this place sucks… but I'll suck it up if you make a gate so I can go back home when I need to…"

"Oh that's easy, here take this, it allows you to make a portable gate so you can take it along with you where ever you want to go." I say as I toss him a metal disc with some runic engravings on it.

"Ahh kid thanks! Now I can do this job with no problem what so ever."

"No problem old man just that you should still make this place look like you have been living here awhile with how you organize your camp."

"Alright I'll do it."

"Ok then see you later, and keep me posted on how things go." I say before leaving him once again to do what he needs.

"Well since I'm here maybe I should fish for a bit." Fisher says as he pulls out his rod and begins casting his line, waiting for some fish to bite.

…

.

A few months later, Sixis, Fishers make shift shack.

"Man that was an awful storm last night, hope none of my things broke… or at least not many of my things…" Fisher says as he goes outside to check on the damage to his camp.

"This is the 2nd storm this week…. Maybe I should check around the island and see if who I'm looking for has finally arrived…" Fisher says after he sees that the damage isn't too bad and decides to go looking around the island to see if there are anyone that has gotten stranded here as well.

So he went to the center of Sixis which has a rather large cylindrical type of mountain to use as a vantage point as he flew to the top and pulled out his binoculars to look around all the beaches of the island.

After looking around for a bit he actually spots two people ship wrecked on one side of the island, a blue spikey haired fellow and a kid wearing an orange hat.

"I think that's who I'm looking for…" he says as he looks down at the note of the description that Vargas bought for Fisher to know when he sees Ace.

"Best bet is to meet him from the shore while looking for a spot to fish…" he says to himself before he jumps down one side of the mountain and alongside King starts to walk along the shore with his pole and straw bucket hat on.

It didn't take long for him to come across a kid with a rather bored look on his face as he keeps skipping stones out onto the water.

"This isn't what I thought the beginning of my journey of being a pirate would have me ship wrecked here…" the young man says while he keeps on tossing stones he finds on the beach into the water.

"You know kid, doing that is just gonna scare off all the fish." Fisher says as he is walking towards the kid with fishing pole in hand.

"Oh fantastic! I thought I was gonna be stuck on this island all by myself, I'm just glad there's someone else here." The young man says in relief seeing someone else for the first time in awhile.

"Yeah people tend to get stranded here for quite awhile, the waters around here make it easy for ships to sink and also makes it hard to get off this island as well…. I've tried but I've been stuck here for months…." Fisher says before sitting down on a rock and casting out his line a bit away from the kid.

"Months?!? Man I can't be stuck here for that long! I have places to be and a world to see so there has to be a way off here…" the kid says as he try's and think of a way off this island.

"Unless we have a way to propel ourselves faster than the currents like an engine or something that will make us move very fast on water will be stuck in tell someone can get here and save us…" Fisher says as he pulls out a weed near him and sticks it in his mouth to chew on.

The kid just falls to his knees, "then we're never getting out of here." He says sadly.

"It will be fine kid, if your getting hungry you can wait till I catch a fish or maybe go explore the island and see what's around for materials, if we make something will be able to get out of here eventually."

"Alright Old Man, wait no I should ask what's your name?"

"You can just call me Fisher, and this guy right here is King." He says as he pets his wolf friend.

"Alright Fisher the names Ace! And I'm out here to be one of the greatest pirates the world has ever seen!"

"Well that's an ambitious dream kid, but getting stranded here isn't the best thing that could have happened to you, you know?"

"Hehe…. Yeah…" he says as he scratches the back of his head a bit embarrassed about his current situation.

"Alright kid go find some materials or something if you want to get a start on getting off this island."

"Right! I'll be back later Fisher!" He says with a smile as he waves him off before heading into the island to see what he can find for either food or materials.

"Hmph, what an energetic kid, he's completely different to Vargas, he hasn't seen the horrors of this world yet first hand…. Maybe if he wasn't given such a bad hand in life maybe he would have been like Ace…." But he just shakes his head and goes back to paying attention to his line, waiting for a new bite.

It wasn't until near sunset that Ace came back, but he wasn't alone as he had brought another with him, a spiky blue haired fellow as well, *Guess he met the other stranded fellow as well…*

"Ohh? I guess we have more company now." Fisher says as he has several fish being cooked by the fire.

*Growl* both Ace and the blue haired fellow who was wearing a mask for some reason covered there stomachs as they felt the hunger pangs.

"Luckily I caught enough fish to feed all 4 of us here." He says before offering them both some fish to eat.

"Thanks gramps!" Ace says before taking a fish and wolfing it down.

"Thank you sir." The masked fellow says before taking one as well.

"Well? Aren't you gonna introduce your new friend here Ace?"

"*Munch* Hmmm? *Gulp* ahh that's right! This guy here… well he says he's given up his old name so I decided to give him a name instead! So he's now known as Masked Deuce or just Deuce is fine as well." He says with a big smile.

"Oh so Deuce is it? Why'd you give up your name?"

"Well…. It's more due to me not wanting to have anything to do with my family anymore, they wanted me to become a doctor, but I wanted to go out and see the world, we got in a fight and they disowned me and wanting nothing to do with me, so I left and headed out on my own adventure, throwing away my name… then getting ship wrecked here…" Deuce says with a some what sad look.

"Family…. Yeah family can get complicated… my father was a pirate, a famous one at that… though they ended up catching him and well the killed him in the end….. the only thing I have in common with him is the D. Initial in our names…." Ace also says with a rather sour look thinking about his father.

"Hmmmm… famous pirate, executed, and has the D. In his name…." Fisher ponders on that for a moment before realizing something, the same could be said about Deuce as they both looked at Ace.

"I-is your father… Gol D. Roger?" (Deuce)

Ace doesn't say anything as his face says it all as his looks sour even more at the mere sound of his fathers name.

Seeing Ace's look is all Deuce needs to confirm his suspicions and just gets up and starts to walk off but is suddenly stopped by King getting in his way, he would try to get around but would be blocked.

"You mind hearing my take on all this before you decide to walk off into the dark?" Fisher says as he takes another fish and peels the skin off of.

Seeing as he can't just leave, Deuce reluctantly goes and sits down by the fir but further away from Ace to make it clear he doesn't like the fact that he is Rogers son.

"Heh, you look like an adult but you sure act like an immature kid right now you know that?" Fisher says while staring directly at Deuce.

"But he's-"

"Rogers son? And? So here's a question for you, is Ace here Roger?"

"…"(Ace)

"... No…"(Deuce)

"Ok then second question which is worse in your opinion, being the son of the former Pirate king and just now has started off on his journey and mind you hasn't done anything wrong, or a slaver who has captured many innocent men, women and children alike and sold them off into slavery, ruining many lives in the process?"

"The slaver obviously…." But Deuce said that without thinking as he caught himself saying what he believed was worse.

"So now final question, are you gonna hold a person accountable for there fathers actions? Do you believe that the child must pay for the sins of the father?"

Deuce didn't say anything as he thinks to himself and looks at the now some what depressed Ace, and realizes that he shouldn't hold that he the son of Roger against him, thinking this Deuce feels depressed because of how immature he really is acting, and that a real adult needed to show him how much of a kid he was acting like.

He then shakes his head and looks up at Ace and looks at him in a different light, "Fisher is right… I shouldn't hold that against you Ace…. I'm sorry, will you forgive me?"

"Heh, I can't stay upset at someone who genuinely apologizes to me, so don't worry about it Deuce! After all I still think of you as a friend even if we just met!" Ace says with a big smile on his face.

"Thanks Ace, and thank you Fisher for showing me the error of my ways." He says as he bows his head toward Fisher.

"Don't mention it, I mean it's just us here stuck on this island, I'd hate it if there was tension between us after all."

"Yeah…. Speaking of which how are we gonna get off this island?"

"Well if I was younger I could use my powers to propel a make shift ship out of here." Fisher says while making a flame in his hand.

"But because I'm old now my flames aren't as strong now…"

Ace actually jumps up and comes close to him with a big smile on his face, "That's so cool Fisher! You can make flames? Did you eat a devil fruit to get those powers?"

"No kid, I was born with fire powers like this but unlike devil fruit powers that either stay the same or get stronger over time, mine are more similar to age, if I was say in my 20's or 30's with a decent ship I could propel us out of here by myself, but as I am I need at least another person to help get us all off this island…"

"Ahh man! Then that means we're still stuck here!" Ace says as he grips his forehead.

"Well not necessarily, see I saw this strange looking fruit somewhere on this island… or maybe my eyes were playing tricks on me… King do you remember seeing a strange fiery red fruit?" Fisher says as he looks at his wolf companion.

King just tilts its head for a second as if thinking before nodding its head, "Do you remember where you saw it?" King just shakes his head no.

"Well at least I wasn't imagining it." Fisher says while stroking his chin.

Both Ace and Deuce look at King, *Smart Wolf* they both think to themselves.

"But what's so important about the fruit?" (Ace)

"The reason why I even mentioned it was because it gave off a fiery feeling to me, whatever it is that fruit has something to do with fire, I would have eaten it for myself but I realized it probably wouldn't have increased my Fire strength and would probably been worse because I wouldn't be able to swim anymore if the rumors about what happens to those who eat devil fruits is true…."

"Well I'm gonna go find this fruit then! If it will make it possible for us to get off this island then will do it together as a team!" He says as he stands up and holds his hand out.

Fisher just grins before putting his hand on top of Aces.

Deuce then gets up and places his hand on top as well.

"Alright let's do this together to get off this island!" Ace shouts in a cheer that infects Deuce and Fisher with his energy.

"OOOOHHHHHH!!!!"

"Now let's go get that Fruit!" He says as he begins to head for the forest before being stopped by Fisher, Deuce and even King.

"Tomorrow kid, it's almost night fall, let's get some shut eye and first thing when the sun comes up will look for the fruit alright?"

"Hehehe, right.. I almost forgot it was night in my excitement, well then I have another thing I want to ask you guys… will you be willing to join my crew?"

"What as pirates? I want to go on an adventure but I don't want to go around looting towns or anything like that." (Deuce)

"Pshh Naaah! I'm not doing that either though we will be fighting a lot of other pirate crews, bounty hunters and the like in the mean time as well as see the world and taste new foods as well! What's more there to ask for?"

"Fighting, adventure, food, throw in alcohol and I'm in." Fisher says with a smirk at the thought of adventure.

"Well if we're not going around pillaging or anything then I guess I'm in as well."

"Fantastic then this is the official beginning of the Spade Pirates!!!" Ace says all excited like.

"Wait why are we called the Spade Pirates?" (Fisher)

"Because all of our names have something to do with playing cards I'm the Ace, Deuce is the 2, King is well the King and your…. Hmmmm you name doesn't fit though…" Ace says as he scratches his chin.

"*sigh* I guess your lucky that my first name is Jack then, though I prefer being called Fisher though."

"Hahaha! I knew it! See the Spades Pirates is the perfect name for our crew as we will be the 4 founding crew members after all!" He says all excited like at the prospect of his pirate name working after all.

"Alright alright kid, look the night has already started I think it's time we all get some sleep, tomorrow we find that fruit and then build a small boat that we can use to get out of here."

"Alright Fisher is right, let gets some sleep, we have a long day tomorrow." (Ace)

And with that the Spade Pirates were formed with Ace as the Captain, Deuce as the Vice Captain, Fisher as adviser and Quartermaster and King as the crew's Mascot.

When the next day came both Fisher and Deuce worked together with building a ship that could hold 3 people and a Wolf with ease while Ace and King Scoured the island for the Fiery Devil fruit.

After a few days of searching, Sixis is very large by the way, Ace Finally found and with the approval of both Fisher and Deuce ate the devil fruit and gained the ability to make fire all around his body, and thanks to Fisher also being a person who can control flames as well was able to help Ace get the hang of his fire abilities while Deuce put the finishing touches on the ship.

Ace decided that it would be called Striker and will be the first ship for the Spade pirates.

So with Striker built with it made in mind with having either 1 or two people use there flames to propel the ship forward, and with everyone set in there positions both Fisher and Ace activated there flames powers on high to send them all shooting off the island as they headed northwards towards a string of islands that they can use to find and take down pirates from to get a real ship of there own.

"Wohooo!!! This is where the real fun starts guys!" Ace says in excitement as they head north towards a new adventure all on there own.

"Heh, this might be fun after all…" Fisher says to himself as he grins while he and Ace Steer them off onto there own adventures.
