Bare Fist Pirates v.s Lendo Maki

The Bare Fist Pirates had been sailing the sea for about 3-4 weeks non-stop. They were in voyage mode. All desperate to reach the Grand line. Dorian, Captain of the crew. Had grown tired, and slightly hungry after the first few days with out any food. His energy and enthusiasm had dropped bellow normal. He steered his ship as best he could as he scanned the sea, in sight of some type of pit stop. In the distance, Dorian spotted an Island that had a large castle on it. It must have been huge if Dorian could see the castle from so far out. But what he didn't realize that his ship was being pulled towards the Island.

"Oi...Jacob...Van..Prepare to cast Anchor soon! Were approaching an Island...fast.."

-Back on the Island-

In a Large, dark and gloomy room. Stood a Large figure, about 10 foot 6, with a cape was standing in front of a window of the room. He looked outside of the window, looking down at the empty jungle that surrounded the castle he was in. A smaller figure, about 5 foot 9, approached the larger man.

"Lord Lendo, A ship has been drawn in...shall I send the Guards?"

"As you wish.."

"Oh...and Taki.."

"Yes Lord Lendo?.."

"Its time we left this cursed Island...This ship we will be taking for our own..Brahahahhahaha!"

Van was punching the air, started off slowly, then fster, and faster. He kept his eating at a minimum, to not waste much of the supplies, not that they had as much. He wanted to become stronger still, his strength increased during this training, but if he entered the grand line like this, he'd have no chance. Van also kept his guns near him, fully reloaded, but he kept his burst bullets in his pockets, to use only for an emergency.

He heard Dorian shouting about an island. He took a sip from his canteen and headed for the deck, near the anchor.

''Ready when you are, Captain.'' he said

Dorian noticed the ship was being pulled faster and faster, building momentum by the second. After a while the ship was going 70 mph soaring through the water like a hot knife through butter. Dorian then grabbed onto the steering wheel and yelled out to his crew mates.

"GRAB ONTO SOMETHING! THIS IS GONNA BE A ROUGH RIIIIIIDE"

Jacob stood on the ship with his right arm in a make shift sling, it was still damaged from the previous battle. Without proper care his would take much longer than normal to heal. Jacob looked out at the sea the waves were slightly turbulent maybe as a sign of what was to come. When he heard his captain yell Jacob looked toward him seeing the large castle off in the distance. He then looked towards Van, he was always training to get stronger, but with their food supply so low his arm and Van's muscles wouldn't get any better than they were.

All of the sudden the ship began to move faster and faster. It seemed something, some force was pulling the ship toward the island at high speeds. Jacob got a bad feeling , something powerful on that island was pulling them with ease. Stabbing Ikendramaru into the deck of the ship Jacob hung on the best he could with his good arm. "What the hell's going on?!?!"

As the Ship grew closer to the sandy shore. Dorian let his grip on the sheering wheel go. He stood up and waited to see what was going to happen next. He looked around just to see countless fallen and half sunken ships scattered around them on the shore. Dorian then ran back over towards the edge of his ship that was facing the Island. He then stepped on the railing of the ship and jumped off it and onto the shore. He landed on the shore to get a closer look. As he landed, he called out to Jacob and Van.

"Guys! Come on! We gotta check out this place!"

Van hurried to jump off the ship. He leaped a great height and anded on the shore, he landed on his legs but he still felt a bit of pain. Maybe he was pushing himself a bit to far to quickly. He looked around, all these ships were destroyed? Their ship was coming quick enough to be smashed to smithereens.

"Oi, Dorian, how are we gonna stop the ship?" he asked

Dorian looked at Van.

"What?..Oh yeah Right Right..."

As Dorian said that, he slightly rose arm into the air. While the ship came in at an incredible speed. Although it seemed it was going to run right over Dorian. Amazingly, Dorian stopped the ship dead in its course, with out flinching or budging at ALL. After Dorian stopped the ship, he let his arm down and looked back over at Van and smiled cheerfully.

"There we go..now..lets see what brought us here...shall we?"

"HAAAAAAAAAAALT!!"

Just before Dorian started walking off the shore. Dorian's attention was turned towards an unknown voice in the distance. As he turned his head in the direction the noise came from. He then saw a army of armored soldiers standing next to him. They all carried long swords and thick shields. Dorian waved at the one who spoke and smiled.

"Hi I'm..Dorian..This is Van...and my other friend over their is Jacob..were the Bare Fist Pirates.."

"Its a pleasure sir...please...allow us to escort you to the castle.."

"CASTLE!?! WELL WHY DIDN'T YA SAY SO! LETS GO!"

"Now let's Take a hold of reality for a moment." he said, placing himself between the armored soldiers and Dorian,

"Are you going to follow these men that speak of castles? Aren't you gonna question them?" he asked,

Van knew that Dorian wouldn't and wasn't going to. It ws nice to ask though

By the time Dorian had pointed towards where he thought Jacob was, Jacob was long gone. Using the natural surroundings as cover Jacob made his way to the castle. A combination of soru level speed and stealth allowed Jacob to make it pretty far ahead. Looking back Jacob could see a large group surround and escort Van and the captain towards the castle. Deciding it was best to stay in the shadows for now Jacob disappears using flash.

Dorian ran down the only path he saw that lead to the castle at full speed. The guards followed closely behind. Completely ignoring if Van was following him or not, or if Jacob had gotten off the Ship. He made it to a wide spacious gate. Dorian then pushed the gate open and walked into the court yard that stood in front of his eyes. Large tree's and different human made ponds surrounded the area. The tree's looked dried out and old, as the ponds looked scummy, and green. He paid no attention. He paid more attention to the gigantic door that stood before him. Dorian's eyes widened and sparkled like a clear night at sea, when the stars were out. He then ran straight forward to the door and held out one palm.

"Bare PALM"

Dorian then made its way into the castle.

Van chased after Dorian, what had he led them into now. He ran through the gate and saw the environment. It looked poorly taken care of. He Ran his hand through the pond, it seemed to have grown some kind of skin. Van took out one of his guns and followed Dorian through the door.

While becoming out of site from everyone else. Dorian made his way deeper into the Castle. As he did so, he came across a cross of halls. There were a right and left path. Dorian chose the right. Dorian then continued down the right path until he came to a large golden door. He smiled and then gave off a small grin. At that, Dorian pushed the door open.

"OOoooi...Welcome to my Humble Home! I am Lendo Maki...Brahahahaha!"

"Hi! I'm Dorian!..Did "

"A Pleasure Mr.Dorian...I see you've sailed here on a rather large ship...It looks quiet..formitiable.."

"What do you mean..?"

"You see Dorian Old Boy..I've been trapped..Er..I mean living on this Island for about a life time from what it seems..bounded by these never ending waters..the tree's on this Island are no were near strong enough for a raft..let alone a ship...All I want is a ship so that I may sail..sail faaar away from this bloody Island...Do you see were I'm getting at Mr.Dorian?"

As Lendo turned his body towards Dorian he noticed he was fast asleep.

"DUUUWAHAT?! YOUR ASLEEP! FINE! I'LL TAKE YOUR BLOODY SHIP AND LEAVE YOU HERE LIKE I WAS GOING TO DO IN THE FIRST PLACE!"

"Wait...woah...that's not happening.."

Just as he said that, Dorian suddenly spoke, as if he were awake the entire time. Dorian then gripped his fist and grinned his teeth. He took a step forward and to his stance, ready to fight off this thief.

"I absolutely need my ship...To fufil my dream...If you lay a finger on it...I'll Kill you!"

-Back Near Van-

"You're not leaving this Island...No..."

"But they Could leave this Island..Yes.."

"But we cannot let you leave this Island...No.."

"Lord Lendo would be highly furious...Yes.."

Two identical figures, one in black with white stripes going across his chest, and another in White with one large black stripe going across his chest. They both appeared literally out of no were in front of Van, stopping him in his tracks.

Van took his second gun in hand.

"Who are you? Allies or enemies?" he asked,

He already knew the answer with their questions, apparently they wanted the bare fist pirates to stay and their leader would be upset. Van liked upsetting leaders.

"I'm afraid we're gonna be leaving soon, and we can have i done two ways. The easy way; where you give us supplies and ship parts and let us go on our merry way. Or way two; we beat you guys up and take everything." Van was curious to see their response.

Jacob seen Dorian running towards the castle like a bat out of hell. Followed closely behind be Van and the the guards. Using his speed and a rear attack and run strategy. Jacob was able to assassinate a good number of the guards before they ever got close to the castle. As two men walked up to Van Jacob readied himself waiting in the shadows.

As the two men threatened Van Jacob became enraged. Walking up to the two he pull out his poisoned sea stone sword obtained after his battle with Dakumaru and tapped one of the men on the shoulder with it. "You bastards better not threaten my nakama again or I'll destroy you along with this entire shit dump of an island."

Van looked at Jacob, he seemed pretty angry. Must be the lack of food and whatnot. Both guns in hand, Van aimed at the one in white.

"Oi Jacob, I'll take the one in white, you take the other one. Alright?" he said,

Wait, before the fight started he had one more question,

"What lead all those ships to crash around the island? Do one of you have a devil fruit power?"

The two men in white and black looked at their two opponents. They turned towards one another and smirked as if they already knew what they were going to do. They both then looked at Van and Jacob with their eyes wide open as if they were trying to see through them. They both stopped and blinked at the same time. After they were finished. Both of them began to flash neon colors. After they were done flashing, they had made exact replicas of Van and Jacob. From their hair and eye color, right down to their height and skin color! They even had their weapons!

"I am Shift.."

"And I am Change..."

"We Both spit the Change Change Fruit as children...and have the ability to transform into whom ever we please AND gain their abilities...you two seem like formible fighters...so we'll see if you can best your self's.."

-Back at the Throne Room-

"Brawahahhahaha! You think I'm just going to cower in fear of you? Your nothing but a rookie! A nobody! You couldn't beat a wanted Pirate such as my self...but I'll toy with you for a while.."

After Lendo finished speaking. He grinned at Dorian with his perfect spiky white teeth. He then rose his left arm and at the same time, rose 4 spears at he appeared from behind his throne. With out touching them, he threw two of the spears in Dorian's direction. Dorian startled, just barely dodged the attack. Dorian did a barrel roll to the right and landed kneeling on one knee. When he did so, he quickly countered the attack with a Bare Fist. Lendo then rose his right arm and swung across his face as if he were swatting a nat. As he did so, a huge shield flew in front of him. Blocking Dorian's attack.

"Brawhahahahaha! I at the Fuwa Fuwa No Mi...I can levitate anything that isn't living....now...DIE!"

Lendo then sent the next two spears soaring it Dorians direction. Dorian then did a back flip, kicking both spears into the air. Thus, He grabbed onto one and span it around in a fancy fasion. He then took a stance, spear in hand. Lendo then smirked and extended his arm out in front of him. Bringing two of the spears he had thrown at Dorian back into his grasp. Dorian then rushed towards Lendo, spear in hand. Lendo then grinned and jumped off of his throne and charged towards Dorian.

Van was surprised, his opponent pretty much, er opponents transformed.

"Wait, how can two people have devil fruit powers?" this was a peculiar case,

Van had other problems, his opponents transformed into himself and Jacob. This might cause some troubles. He was tired of questioning, Van took aim and shot at the False Van.

Seeing the duo transform into him and Van Jacob leaped back. He immediately scanned over the two and then the originals looking for even the slightest difference. "Van, under no circumstance are we to fight anyone other than our own doppelgangers. Also don't let your guard down even if you think I have won." said Jacob examining the two copies.

Van was already on the offence. He had shot a bullet towards the false Van, hoping to catch him off guard. If he had copied all his abilities, then he'd have to up his skills a bit. Van would do anything short of using his burst bullet.

Shift, who looked exactly like Van. Grinned and quickly pulled out two dual pistols from behind his back pocket. As he Shot one bullet out of each gun. Change, who was the spitting image of Jacob. Grabbed onto Ikenminormaru's handle and narrowed his eyes. He then slightly stepped forward and disappeared.

"Namikaze Flash!"

Out Running the Bullets. Change reappeared behind Van, withdrawing Ikenminormaru from his case. Getting reading to slash him across his back. Knowing he'd have to block the bullets coming towards him.

"One Sword Style: Minor Slash!"


-Back In the Throne Room-

Dorian and Lendo's spears both broke after the rough combat between them. Dorian then took the chance he had at him having nothing around him and cocked his arm back in attempt to hit him. But just before he could touch him. A Large Armored solider arose from out the ground. What was this solider. It had large thick arms with a wide body to match. It stood about 10 foot five feet tall with silver gomplets on its fist.

"Brwahahaha! You think I'd Play fair?! Not likely! Now! Go! Iron Solider!"

The Solider then took a basic boxer stance and began throwing right hooks and jabs at Dorian. Dorian ducked and weaved constantly, avoiding getting hit. The Iron warrior then rose both his arms into the air and balled his hands up into fist. Getting ready to bring them down. Dorian did a back flip just in the nick of time. The Iron Solider slammed its fist into the round. Causing them to get stuck. Dorian then countered and opened his hand up. He then did Bare Palm, and pushed the Solider backwards. Unprepared for this, and sitting back being lazy in his throne. Lendo's eye's widened to see the Iron Mass flying towards him. The Iron Mass then slammed into Lendo and sent them both crashing through the wall. Dorian then ran over towards the hole that he just created.

"HEY! MAGIC GUY! GET BACK HERE!"

When Dorian made it through the hole. He entered into a pitch black room with blue flooring. He saw the Iron Soldier. But not Lendo.

"Graaah...your stronger then you appear...but no matter..I'll crush you with my Ultimate Solider! THE GIGA IRON SOLIDER!"

The lights suddenly turned on, revealing a giant Iron solider. Lendo laughed his very unique laugh from the top of the Solider in the helmet. But the Solider was hollow. Dorian looked up at the Enormous Solider and began running for his Life.

"Ooooooooooh Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii-!!!"

"Brawahahaha! Run Punnie Rookie! Run!"

"Flash"

Jacob appeared in front of the slash aimed for Van blocking it with Ikenminormaru that the held in his mouth. With his one good arm Jacob amed the blunt seastone sword in a stabbing motion at the side of the face of his copy. "Van don't worry about this guy, he wont get to you. I'll make sure of that." said Jacob with a confident tone.

Jacob could feel the pressure the fake was putting on him, it was a great amount. With this gave of a situation Jacob had to come up with a plan quickly. The only thing Jacob could come up with was dirty, but it had to do. Using the momentum from the fake Jacob's pushing Jacob raised his right leg aiming a strong kick at the fakes testicles. This combined with the force the fake was putting on him forced Jacob to fall back on top of Van.

Then with his foot Jacob tried to use it as a hook to pull the already forward lunging fake into the path of the bullets. "Van look out!"

Van moved out of the way, Jacob would take care of his fake. It was his turn now. He ran around Jacob and spotted Shift.

"You're in my sights, you phony." he said, Shooting around Shift, in an attempt to get him away from Jacob. Seeing as he hadn't healed yet, Van needed to finish this quickly.

Falling to the ground, Change transformed back into his original form. In sheer pain, he was immobilize, and clearly couldn't fight any more. Shift, noticing his brother had been beaten. Narrowed his pupiless eyes and quickly rushed towards him. Ignoring the fire Van was opening on him, also luckily avoiding damage. He dived for his brother and touched him on the back. Thus, with in a few seconds, Change was up and at it again. He glared at Jacob and transformed back into Jacob.

"Thank you brother...Although we cannot underestimate these two..their clearly dirty fighters..."

"Any time Change..now..since we are both splitting the pain..suck it up and lets finish them. Due to our spit Devil Fruit..and since we share the same genes..were not only able to duplicate others..but we can split health benefits of each other..but we can only absorb pain..we cannot take healthy attributes."

Change then took out all three of his Swords and placed one in his mouth. He then rose his other two and lined them both up horizontally across the sword that was vertical in his mouth. Making an "H" like shape. Shift then followed up by putting both feet on his brothers horizontal swords. While at the same time, loading his guns with Burst Shots. Change then pumped the adrenaline through both his arms.

"Two Sword Style: Double Adrenaline Dual Burst Rocket!!!!!!"

Thus, swung his swords downward at the same time as Shift pushed his legs off the sword. Causing Shift to zoom towards Jacob and Van. As he got closer. He pulled the trigger of each gun. Sending the Burst shots out of the pistols. At the same time. Sending Shift flying backwards due to recoil.

-Back in the Throne room-

"Brahahhahaha! Run Punnie Pirate boy! Run! Once I crush you I'll crush your pathetic crew mates, that is..if my Two top Soldiers don't kill them first..they should be done now! BRAHAHAHAHAHA!"


At that, Dorian stopped running and stopped on one foot. After hearing that sentence, Dorian's world stopped. He then slowly brought his off ground foot and stood with his back turned to Lendo. Dorian then slowly began to turn around, Lendo, waiting to see what he was doing. Watched him carefully. When Dorian was half way turned around he began to speak.

"If you dare say that again to me....I'll DESTROY YOU!!

Lendo, for a second. Felt a slight breeze of fear rush through his body. When it was gone, his crooked evil mug revealed a smile. He then began to laugh at Dorian with his head cocked back.

"Brahahahahahahahah...BrahHaaaahahahahahahhahaha! Your not so pathetic after all...Who are you?"

"My name is Dorian D. Herron...soon to be a strong man.."

"Brrr...BraaaaaaaaaaaahHahahhahaha! Is that so..well I'll be going now..your crew mates should be de-"

Before he could even finish the sentence. Dorian cocked his arm back and sent a amazingly fast Bare Fist straight into the gut of Lendo's Iron Warrior. Breaking through the armor. Lendo, feeling the Iron Warrior serverly shake. Looked down to see an enormous hole in his soldiers gut. Although it still stood tall. He lost control of the Warriors Lower half, due to losing its gut. Lendo then rose the gravel that was inside the gut of his Warrior and send a extremely large piece flying towards Dorian. Dorian waited for the piece of rubble to get close enough to him. He then used the power of his Gomu Gomu no Mi to stretch his arm around the rubble once. He then began spinning around with it firm in his grasp.

"Bare.....FRISBEE!!"

Dorian then let gravity take its course and let the giant piece of rubble fly right towards Lendo who was in the helmet of the giant warrior. At the same time he kept a firm grasp on the piece of rubble. As it slammed right upside Lendo's Warrior's helmet. It shattered it completely. Thus, Dorian pulled the giant home-made Frisbee back dowards. But held it so that it was wide and spread out, instead of side ways. As it flew back towards Dorian. He cocked his left arm back while his right arm held onto the giant platter slammed against Lendo's already piratically unconscious's body. Causing him to fly down with it. Right before Lendo made it to Dorian.

"GOD'S BAAAAARE FIIIIIIST!!!!!"

Dorian swung his fist forward, punching Lendo in the gut as hard as he could, thus. Sending Lendo flying straight out his castle.
