Episode 2 - New Faces

Bear POV

"I am Hero, the ruler of this island bastard who do you think you are" I shouted at him in frustration and this bastard had the nerve to smirk making me even madder.

"I am Sesshomaru, and I believe you are outmatched," he murmured behind me, taking me by surprise. I flew backward while grabbing the ground slowing my speed and coating my fist with haki jumping towards him to protect me from his poison.

I faced this bastard for about 30 minutes and his power seemed almost unlimited, as did his stamina. We kept fighting, but he began to grow faster and stronger, it was as if he was playing with me.

He reached the point where I could not even see his attacks or movements and he constantly caught me by surprise and sent me flying. I was exhausted and my devil fruit power started to give out, Sesshomaru appeared in front of me.

"Why don't you just stay down and give up"

"I know you're tired, and your devil fruit powers are wearing off"

"Never, I will never give up this is my island, DAM IT

I answered him as I clenched my fist and struck the ground.

"You started the fight with me, I was just starting my new peaceful life"

Sesshomaru explained to me in a sarcastic tone and made me shout back.

"But you have killed all my subordinates and beat me in a fight on MY ISLAND"

"Well, this is life what you expected me to happily turn over in a grave after you and your subordinates tried to kill me."

"Secondly if you expect not even one person to defeat you in a fight in your whole life something is wrong with your mentality, but so be it you are just a simple animal after all, and this is the cycle of hatred"

Sesshomaru explained once again correcting me while flicking his finger onto my forehead making me transform back into my giant bear form and fly backward father than he ever sent me before. As I looked back, I saw that I reached the edge of the island and was on the verge of flying into a ship with a giant ship.

General POV

[Narrator]

[45 mins prior]

[Sesshomaru power was seen by a Marine transport ship attracting the attention of the people who inhabited it]

"Vice-Admiral Toko, do you see that strange green energy radiating from that island"

A naval captain spoke to a man standing at the bow of the ship and holding his sword looking toward the island.

"I see a person fighting and I sense a powerful aura coming from his sword and him, sail the ship that way Domu, and keep those prisoners below locked up" The vice admiral replied to him sitting down and drinking sake while still looking towards the island.

"Stir the ship towards that island and check on the prisoners' soldiers, but vice admiral shouldn't we contact fleet admiral Sengoku before we make a detour" Domu spoke once again commanding marine soldiers and expressing his concern

"No, it won't take long to meet this odd man," replied Toko, putting down his sake and wiping his mouth.

|Below deck|

A Marine soldier went to the lower deck to check on the prisoners.

"Have you come to rub defeat in our faces marine?" said a girl handcuffed with sea prism stone.

"No, I come to check on you prisoners and make sure all of you are ready before we dock on an island, but don't worry life has rubbed defeat in your face already" Replied the soldier while laughing and walking back up the stairs to the top deck.

"Kana how are we going to escape I promised grandmother that we would survive," said another girl a little younger, crying and talking to the other girl.

"It's okay, Sara, once I get rid of that prism stone, I'll save us all," said Kana, looking at Sara and the other 30 prisoners.

"It is useless even if we all have got to the great line successfully, we cannot defeat a vice-admiral," cried a young boy wiping his eyes.

"What are you even doing as a pirate at your young age, you don't even look 9" Kana responded while looking at the boy with curiosity.

"Shut up, silly girl, this is Captain Satsumi of the young pirates."

"Be quiet, Don"

"My name is Satsumi, but you can call me Sumi and I ate the Fume Fume no Mi at the age of nine and now I can neither grow old nor die"

Satsumi responded quickly to one of her teammates to halt a potential fight and answered Kana's question.

"I ate the Kaze Kaze no Mi and my sister Sara ate the Maho Maho no Mi"

"Why don't we team up, for the time being, to escape this ship Sumi, I already have a plan"

Kana explained with her eyes on Sara and Sumi.

"Even if we managed to escape, we would still be defeated by the vice-admiral, so the plan you have is useless," replied Sumi, looking down and giving up.

"Sumi the marine soldier said we were docking at an island so that must mean the vice admiral is going to be on the island, so we have a lot of time to defeat the soldiers and the captain and steal the ship" Kana explained towards Sumi and the rest of the prisoners.

"But how do you suggest we get out of this sea prism stone," said Don glaring at Kana.

"We could trick the soldier into letting Sumi since he looks like a child, and he might not have seen you fight or your wanted poster if you had one" Kana explained the rest of her plan while glaring back at Don
