(serious) The Grand Line Youngsters - the recruiting of new members

Ever since William E Waldon Became a Shicibukai, he became a hero for lots of childeren, lots of childeren who had a good life ran away from home just to live on the islands of kids the much william loved the fact that people were interested in joining the crew he should decide who were really fit to join them, he didn't want to have people who wanted to go home after a day, normally william would join cid when picking up a group of people who were interested in joining the youngsters at docks of islands, but william was away, so cid went alone with a few of the members of the grandline youngsters, ready to find some new friends, ready to see who was capable to join the youngsters.

When the ship landed at the sunny island of rammingen in the grandline, there were already around 20 kids waiting to join the crew, some where acompanied with parents some where there alone, you could see a few were rich and some were just orphans, The grand line youngsters didn't have enough room on the island to let everyone live there how much william wanted it, but he knew it be best to have a good procedure this was also to be sure he wouldn't get sued for kidnapping peoples children.

Andrew --
8.000.000 beri
navigator

Andrew jumped off the ship while Cid and the others stayed there, he wore his long blond hair in a ponytail, and wore a nice tuxedo, it was an honour for him that William asked him to choose who could become new members, he remembered his entrance, the grandline youngsters werent that big, and he encountered william on the streets, after a bit of talking they became friends and since that time Andrew was one of the crews navigators and one of williams advisors. Andrew looked around, and then looked at his watch ''lets wait another 10 minutes before we see who can join, it isn't time yet'' he said sitting on the edge of cids ship, cid came out with a big bag full of cans off drinks, offering all kids a can. It was good to drink with this weather especially for kids. Some of the kids walked away as they saw William wasn't on the ship. Andrew didn't mather those who only cared about status weren't fitting for the youngsters

"Oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy" A kid mumbled as he blasted through the island in an amazingly fast sprint, making a cloud of dust rise behind his feet as he did. Ever since Kenny heard about the legendary Grandline Youngsters, with a captain who reached the rank of a Shichibukai while being only 12 years old, joining the crew was his new goal. As a 10 year old with a dream to follow the pirate king's very own footsteps, Kenny felt like a crew of kids would be his true place to shine. After all, all the Youngsters were about was proving the power of kids, and Kenny had a lot of power and a need to prove it. Unfortunately, he woke up late, and was now late for the meeting with the Youngsters, hence the mad dashing.

"'Xcuse me! Coming through!" He yelled as he bulldozed through the crowd, with the cloud of dust covering those he passed by. When he almost arrived at the front of the crowd, Kenny realized it was probably a good time to seize his running, but he realized it too late. In a last attempt to stop, Kenny stomped his feet powerfully into the ground, switching from a cloud of dust to a pair of feet-sized ditches. When he finally arrived at the front of the crowd, with no one to slow him down anymore. Kenny tripped, rolling forward several times before coming to a halt on his back, right next to Andrew's feet.

Seeing Andrew above him, Kenny flashed a shy grin and rubbed the back of his head without getting up. He could feel the eyes of the crowd drilling holes in him, and there was nothing that he enjoyed more than that feeling. He was the center of attention, thanks to his crystallized awesomeness of course. "Hehe, am I too late?" Kenny asked.

[[Sunny island of Remmington Grandline]]

At the docks where the children gathered , a orange haired child was watching over on a nearby building at the top. He watched them all of them scurry about so excited and so happy. What was there to be happy about? What was there to consider? His own sister had sent him away from his home so that he could learn something. The boy sniggered as he jumped off the building and landed slowly on the ground. He walked straight foward, and moved seemlessly through the crowd.His bright blue eyes gleaming with dark intent as if searching for prey. The sound of steel clanging on his back as he walked to the front of the line, where a child then exclaimed "HEY dont cut the line!!" Takuji stared down this child and then simply, pushed the child, but he was so strong that the child went flying into a structure coughing up blood. There were screams and fear all around him before the orange haired boy raised his hand "Who is in charge ? I want to meet your captain...."

[[Former Okutan 6th pillar]]

Andrew was dealing out drinks and talking about good stuff when a young and happy kid came by and asked if he was late '' no you're just on time good to have you buddy '' he said to hte kid who was extremly hyper in a good way it reminded andrew of william in a way who could be very hyper too at moments'' so what is your name'' he asked kenny, with a smile on his face after offering him a drink, then he yelled'' a few minutes till we decide who will join us he said, before he wanted to walk back he laid his hand on kenny's shoulder and said ''goodluck hope to see you on the island''

When Andrew was about to walk away he saw a kid appearing he had a bad look in his eyes, something he hadn't seen often, there was something about the kid that andrew didn't like, his orange hair stood out, but that was not it, it was the look in his eyes, when the orange haired kid pushed someone to the side into a building, someone jumped from the ship hurrying towards the kid that was just shot in the building, it was allya,

Andrew looked at the guy '' the captain is not here, but we're not looking for trouble makers, if you're not wanting to join us, then leave'' he said, pulling a somewhat strange looking pistol from his pocket the loop was longer then normal and it had some engravings. he aimed it at the oranged haired kid, his mood changed to serious, nothing was going to happen in the recruitng that william trusted to Andrew

Takuji looked at Andrew and then the pistol and then curled his mouth slightly, tasting the air around him. The other children seemed afraid of him, they were right to. Takuji felt amused that this kid was holding a gun, clearly this one was not without skill. Takuji then spoke " Ok then... how about this, you call your captain here and we duel, he wins, i leave... or you can duel me yourself...... though it is debatable that you can seriously harm me....." Takuji had the purpose of testing himself against the strongest, and that was what he was going to do.

''the captain has more serious bussines to attend to, we are only here to see what new childeren can get a place on our sky island, we do not wish to fight, we just wish to improve the lives of childeren that had a bad youth, problems with grown-ups etc, we are one happy family. so again if your not here to join, leave''

Andrew didn't want to fight here, he didn't want to hurt any childeren or any of the buildings or cids ship, it was a good day, why did that orange haired kid had to ruin it, Andrew did his best to look cool ofcourse he was nevrous but he wouldnt show it he was here to protect the new kids. his gun still ready aimed at the boys head,

"It's Kenny" Kenny answered, but before he managed to say anything else a blast was heard as a kid was pushed deep into a nearby structure. Raising an eyebrow, Kenny raised his head and sat on the ground to see what was going on. After all, there was nothing he loved more than explosion, and candy of course. After spotting the source of the explosion, an orange-haired kid, Kenny whistled in surprise. 'Now THAT'S cool! That's what pirates do!' he thought. The kid seemed older than him, and wore a T-shirt with a pretty intimidating writing on it. But perhaps the most obvious detail was the weapon he carried on his back, a scythe.

As ran to attend to the pushed kid's wounds, Andrew pulled a pistol and aimed it at the orange-haired kid. 'He has a gun! Awesome! A real pirate!' Kenny thought as he looked at the pistol with beaming eyes. He never held a pistol before, but just being near pirate weapons ignited the spirit in Kenny. As Andrew and the orange-haired kid exchanged words, Kenny got up from the ground and raised his arms to quiet them down, in an epic way of course. "Now now, we're all pirates here are we not?" He asked, trying to sound sophisticated, "We shouldn't settle our problems by shooting each other" He said, looking down at his feet. "Instead, we should settle this in an EPIC WAY" He said, raising his head up to the sky as his right index finger pointed to the heavens, like all heroic speeches were performed. "We should settle this, WITH A BRAWL!" He he roared, his eyes glittering with passion for fighting and a broad smile spread across his face. 'That was an epic speech! I'm awesome!' He thought to himself.

He then lowered his right arm so his index finger was now pointing straight at the orange-haired kid. "My name is Kenny B. Wukong, and if you wish to fight anyone, that would be ME" He said with a bright grin, waiting with anticipation for the crowd to start cheering his name.

Andrew was suprised by this change, the kid that looked promising just stood up to fight, he didn't know what to do he decided to wait and watch his gun still readied, looking at what was happening, at that moment a few others gathered behind him there were cid and a few other members of the youngsters.

the croud moved a few meters back from the orange haired kid, being scared of him, when they saw that kenny stood up a few others also stood up ''we're with you kenny, in a minute there stood 6 kids behind kenny 2 wielding a sword one was weilding a gun, two had bats and one even had an axe, they weren't skillful fighters but inspired by kennys actions from the sideline you could hear kids yelling their names ''go for it kenny, beat them''

Takuji looked coldly at Kenny and then moved back to Andrew , he then drew his scythe and chains , the clanging noise could be heard. He held it in a reverse grip and held the other edge upside down. He started twirling the scythe slowly, it was like the grim reaper was descending upon this place. "Come then.... both of you if you want.... ill kill time till your captain gets here......."

Kenny's face beamed as the crowd of kids cheered for him, his face turning into nothing but a giant smile as his hands formed two V-shapes that he raised to the sky. "Tihihihihihihihiihhi" He laughed. There was nothing he enjoyed more than a cheering crowd, 'I'm so awesome, tihihihihihihi' He thought. He then lowered his hands and opened his eyes, looking at his orange-haired opponent. He was surprised that the kid drew his weapon so early, was he really planning on cutting Kenny? Kenny then shook his, it was not the time for what-ifs, it was time to act, legendarily!

"Prepare yourself!" Kenny announced as his hair started waving thanks to the wind Takuji's scythe-spinning created. He extended his hands towards Takuji's direction, before raising both of his index fingers up. "For me ultimate attack!" He said. It wasn't actually his ultimate attack, but Kenny felt that saying it was will make it more awesome. He then bent his arms, placing his hands on either side of his head, turning his index fingers to makeshift bull horns. "This is Kenny B. Wukong's..." He said, skidding his left leg back and forth on the ground like a bull that is preparing to charge forward, raising a cloud of dust behind him every time he did so. "Raging Bull Rush!" He announced.

After naming his attack, Kenny blasted forward, his legs raising a dust cloud behind him as he ran full-speed ahead towards Takuji. He was way faster than a 10 year old should be, fast as a fully-grown martial artist and as Takuji was about to find out, as strong as one as well. He rushed towards Takuji with all of his speed and power, aiming to ram into him with a powerful headbutt and continue to drag him around afterwards.

''my captain wont get here, if you wanna meet him pass the entrance test like everyone, but when it looked like the man was going to fight kenny and himself and some of the other kids he jumped of the ship appearing next to kenny, '' lets do this'' he said to kenny as he waited for the orange haired man to attack, his left hand which was not in the gun had already some chewygum on it which he already began creating

Takuji felt Kennys power and physical prowess as he rushed at Takuji , he twirled his chain and threw it , btu not at Kenny, instead he threw it at one of the building edges near by, he used that as leverage, to lift him up and it allowed him to flip above Kennys attack and land safely some distance behind Kenny, at the same time he flipped, he left his other edge of the scythe chain behind, the other scythe was pulled by Takuji as soon as he was across, and it would cut Kennys hand off, if Kenny came into contact with the scythe because Takuji was aiming for the shoulder area. Takuji tugged powerfully as the scythe ran across, aiming to cleave Kennys arm clean off.

Andrew sighed, as he shot the chewygum in a ball at the mans scythe it wouldn't cut of kennys arm that way, he was sure it would hit the scythe before the scythe would hit kenny, then andrew who still had the gun in his arm fired the bullet at takuji, he knew takuji would reflect it, that was what he was aiming for since it was a explosive bullet that would explode on collision with something ''its not only the captain that is capable of something'' Andrew said proud as watching over the mans reaction, he hoped that kenny was alright

((lets wait for sleepy topost now)

Kenny was pleased with his attack, there was no way Takuji could stop his rush! But just as he thought so, Takuji tossed one of his scythes at a nearby building, and used it to jump over Kenny and avoid his attack. "Coward!" Kenny taunted as Takuji passed above him. He rooted his feet on the ground to stop his rush, but was still skidding across the ground thanks to the sheer momentum of his technique. By the time he noticed Takuji's second scythe flying at him, it was too late to dodge it.

"AHHHHH!" Kenny screamed as he prepared for the worst, but thanks to a piece of gum that hit the scythe in the last moment, the impact was far from lethal. The gum-covered scythe hit Kenny's shoulder, knocking his upper body back while his lower body was still skidding forward. As a result, Kenny slipped and fell into a cloud of dust, coughing. When the smoke cleared, Kenny was back to his feet, rubbing the back of his neck with his right hand. "That... was NOT cool!" He shouted as he pointed at Takuji with his left hand, steam blowing out of his nose.

Takuji looked at the bullet coming towards him, and then ran back and pulled his chain back to take on that bullet, the bullet exploded , but at least he was at a safe distance while his chain took the explosion. Takuji watched the two from a distance, he looked at Kenny and sneered "This is life and death, not a game.... next time it wont be your shoulder.... ill cut your head off......" Takuji flipped his chains all around, his scythe swinging in the air as he held the other side of his scythe chain. He was going to unleash a flurry soon.

andrew hold his hands together leaving a close gap betweenthem and started producing bubble gum from them he started creathing a thick wall of it and made it become bigger and bigger ''hey orange guy, why are you here what are you doing, it doesnt seem like your here to join us'' he said with anger in his voice ''kenny look out for the scythes he has some tricks up on his sleeves'' he said worrying for kenny, the 6 kids that stood behind them and had some weaponry stood there they were scared to attack so they didnt know what to do

Takuji twirled his scythes and chains , they were now spinning faster as he looked to Andrew and Kenny, these were his opponent, these were his targets now. An Okutan assasin is always thought to kill the weaker opponent first before attacking the bigger one, the reasoning behind this is so that it leaves total concentration on methods to tackle the bigger opponent. Takuji then sighed when Andrew asked that question "Isnt it obvious? I want to challenge a shichibukai..... i want to see my level and how i have grown..... i will fight him, be head him..... and then fear will rise.... but if he beats me , ill join this crew.." Takuji then tugged on the chain and threw it foward, it came flying down behind Kenny and Andrew, he then pulled the chain and the scythe came flying back wards as he ran with the other scythe spinning.

"Think you can take my head?! HA! Life or death my~ AH!" Kenny shouted in response to Takuji's words, but was cut off in midsentence by a scythe that was about to decapitate him, Takuji wasn't joking. He ducked under the swung scythe, that managed to cut off a few hairs from the top of his head, who slowly fell to the ground in front of Kenny's feet. His eyes were closed shut in fear, but when he noticed he could still breathe, he reopnened them, just to see three of his hairs sink to the ground in front of him.

Kenny's worried expression soon change to a mad frown as he watched his fallen hairs. He then looked up at Takuji, who was rushing at him and Andrew with his scythe. "You wanna get serious?!" He shouted, before standing up and snatching one of the cans of drink Andrew gave out from one of the kids who stood behind him. "Well you got it!" He shouted again, before breaking the tab right off the can and gulping it all down in 3 sickening seconds.

"Ahhhhhhhh, now that's WAY BETTER!" Kenny said as he separated his mouth form the can, before he crumpled it in his grip and tossed it aside. He could feel the familiar sensation of sugar filling his insides, the jolt of excitement and the tingling of hyperactivity poking every spot on his body. His eyes were wide open, and for some reason he couldn't stop smiling, ven when Takuji still rushed at him with his scyhte. "Let's get it on! Sugar Gear!" He shouted, before rushing towards Takuji as well. His speed was greater than before, way greater, rivaling that of cheetahs. The dust that eruspted from his steps covered the entire group of kids that stood behind him, leaving them to cough. He was going to face Takuji head-on.

Takuji saw the guy running towards him at high speeds. his scythe which returned to him was then swung upwards and spinned in front of Takuji. He lunged his scythe towards Kenny in a spinning motion, creating a fan so that the enemy will be sliced if he made contact with the scythe.

''thats not going to happen, andrew kicked against his other foot and then began flying, this were his rocket boots made by uncle cid, uncle cid was an awesome person an awesome inventor, he wondered why cid didnt intervere but he knew he could handle this, he shot the wall of bubblegum he was creating at the scythe that became a fan, the bubble gum would stop its motion and hopefully hit the orange kid too, then at high speed due of his rocketboots he aimed to headbut takuji meanwhile cid had dissapeared, no one knew where too but cid,

Takuji grimaced as the wall came out, he forcefully pulled his scythe back after scraping against Andrews bubblegum wall. He cursed at his bad luck, the headbutt came from behind the wall. Takuji then breathed slowly "Great... i was going to save this for your captain.... but i acknowledge it... your strength.... Echo walk..." Its like everything became quite as it looked like there was 2 -3 copies of Takuji as he stepped, it was quite, as quite as a whisper. He was then behind Andrew as Andrew headbutted a after image of Takuji. Takuji then growled "This game is simply beggining...."

((since sleepy is kinda absent think we can skip him since he could just attack and wasn't attacked))

Andrew was supprised as his attack was fend off in that way, then the man acknowledged his strength as he hit the ground after headbutting a simple image in the air, he stood up, his hands covered in pinkish bubble gum, and shot small pieces of the sticky gluey gum at the orangehaired kid, like a machine gun small pieces fired aimed at the two images left, one was supposed to be the real. he had hoped his captain would return soon, he had seen cid leaving so he knew what was going to happen he had only to dure till his captain came

in the air a small airship could be heared, it was a small sloop with just room for 2-3 people, it was always on the youngsters ship and now it was in the air, cid had taken it to pick up william who was just not to far away, william jumped from the air landing before andrew, he had an angry glare on his face aimed towards takuji ''good job andrew, I am proud of you'' he said whispering, which made andrew happy, he then looked at takuji again ''I am truly mad, for you distrupting the recruitment of my crew, what is ure reason'' he said staring at the orange haired kid, he had a look in his eyes that william didnt like. then william took a look around him lots of kids were standing in a circle around takuji and kenny, kenny was the only one that was still fighting the kids that picked up weapons were too scared to do anything, but now that william came they all cheered, it seemed that there werent many kids here that could join the crew except for kenny that stood up against someone way stronger, and maybe even the orange haired kid, but william wanted to find out what happend, just to be sure william readied for combat chains coming out of the palm of both his hands hiding them from takuji

Takujis third after image was the real one and one piece of Andrews chewing gum hit him, Takuji dropped back a bit as he felt the pain in his shoulder where he was hit. This Andrew kid had broken through Echo walk with accuracy, it was an impressive feat. Before Takuji could respond, it seemed that a boy landed on the air landing and glared at Takuji. Takuji saw the chains and for the first time, he smiled in satisfaction "Excellent.... this is excellent, your everything i have heard of , William.....SHICHIBUKAI WILLIAM E WALDON!!!" Takuji tugged on his chains and scythes , making them spin again, while his shoulder was hurting after being hit. "I have come here to find out something, if i win... ill take your head and become a more famous being..... if i lose... i surrender my life to do as you please, whether its to join your crew or to die , or even to be exiled, ill accept any faith.... but only after my battle with you is CONCLUDED!!" Takuji had been waiting, a boy who was just like him, a boy who had experienced many battles, who was feared as a warlord of the sea, he was a true opponent to fight against a true test of power, he needed to see if he could do what needed to be done, whether he could beat the best.

Wiliam sighed as he told everyone to take a few steps back, it was time for him to get serious. to stop this man from hurting more people '' I do not know your reasons, why you are fighting and why you hurt people, but you wont hurt my crew, and potential mates anymore'' he said with a serious face it was time for him to shine, the experience off all those fights should be brought into battle now, he removed his cloack from his back and let it drop on the ground his longsleeved dark blueish shirt waas now visible,along with the belt with all his weapons, he taught it be good to not use chains for a bit, since that man probibally wanted to use chains to defeat him, he took out his greatsword with the ring under it, holding it in both hands, sprinting at the man at high speed not as fast as soru but faster then normal , he was still training for soru and he needed more experience to controll this move, holding his sword he stormed at takuji, and jumped in the air planning to land an takuji with the bold edge of the blade, dealing damage but not killing him, he didnt wanted to hurt the kid, he wanted to see how the kid would react on the fact william did not even use his chains

Takuji danged his chain scythes and saw William take out a sword and immdiately moved fast, but it wasnt so fast that Takuji couldnt follow him, but, the sword which was coming down was strong enough to knock him out, even Takuji knew that, Takuji then stepped back and then flipped upwards, waiting for Wiliam to land, once William had landed, he would tug hard on his chain scythes, sending the scythes back to him and on the way, cutting off whatever of William that would be in the way of his sharp scythe.
