dealing with bandits and gaining the shusui sword.

shanks was setting in his office when a knock came at his door. " yes what is, is there any report on sighting of a island,if not then leave me be."at first the door did not open,so shanks thought that here was no sightings. but then slowing the door opened and a young man walked in,but he looked like he saw a ghost. " yes i said what is it." shanks said again,but this time a little softer. " a.a.ahh s.s.sir we h.have sighted a.a island a.ahead." nice finally a island,he could now get out and have some fun,he had came to this island cause will that's where the log pose was pointing so that's where they had to go. out on the grand-line if you did not have a log pose then you might go wondering around for days,weeks hell even years. before long they had came to the island but something was weird,when they started into the cove which was the only way into the island,it had people standing on rocks and yelling like they wanted us there. some people had signs that said welcome pirates, and one said down with the marines. once they had docked there ship and every one was off,they was greeted by the towns peoples which was some what weird. " Greeting young ones,my name is Sherlock atoms and i am the towns mayor,and to greet every we shall throw a party in your names,so please come this way." shanks that was cool but he still kept it in the back of his head that something here was just not right. after the first night there,every thing went smooth. and while he was having fun,he over heard some one talking about some bandit that was like half giant and welded a legendary sword. now that sounded like a nice thing to have so shanks decided that on the next day he would go looking for that man,so he could kill him or just kick his ass,but take his blade,that blade would really come in handy.

the sun was just raising as shanks was exiting the place that the crew and him was staying at. Looking around,it would look like the place was a old wild west type look. breathing deep shanks could smell the salty air from the sea. he could see that shops was starting to open,fisher man was going out to catch breakfast or fish for there shop. but shanks only hand one idea in mind and that was to get that legendary sword that was held by the legendary samurai,but it had been many years since he heard the name he kind of forgot. looking ahead shanks started walking up a hill,and lucky for him the bandits was just so happening to be heading to town the same time he was heading out to find them. shanks could not believe the size of the man waling at him,but like they say the bigger they are the harder they fall. so stepping out so the giant man could see him,as shanks was now blocking his way. " hey you,yeah you with the stupid look on hid face,is that the legendary sword thats all black." the man was so big that he was towing over him,he then reached down and grabbed his blade. " ahhh o yoou mean this,maybe it is maybe it is not,but if you really want to find out, then you can just get your ass over here and find out." shanks would have no problem with that,but from the way this man was talking he sounded like a blooming idiot. but he guessed he would find that out very soon,as he reached down and grabbed his no name sword. running in,shanks jumped up into the air. as he would come down with a spin,the giant would just bring his sword up at a angle as the two blades clashed. shanks did not want to use his power with this man,cause he did not want nothing bad to happen to the sword. with just a small push,shanks was thrown back. with just that push,shanks could tell that something was odd about that sword as if it had strength of its own. damn this might be a little harder then i thought,but i have to beat him some how. shanks thought,as he was thinking up a plan on how to win, the guy was big,so that should mean,that he is also slow,but he would not know until he tried it out. taking his sword shanks sliced the air as he send a crescent moon shape thing of are at the giant. but taking his sword the giant just went up with a slice and cut the air in half letting the two half's just fly past him,as they hit the ground behind him,making dust and rocks to scatter into the air." ha..ha..ha, you must be weak,cause that attack had no bite behind it,how about you just get out of my way,and i promise to not kill you..today that is,see i have no reason to attack you right now, my target is the town,oh how tired i am of them always sending some one to try and collect my head". collect his head,shanks thought on that,but he could only thing of bounty hunters that did something like that. " what do you mean,they sent some to collect your head,what are they bounty hunters or i bet they are just tired of you trying to take over and do what ever you want,i know this sounds weird coming from a pirate and all." shanks was trying to understand what his motives was.

" hahahahaha. yeah kid thats just what im saying. im guessing you are not from around here,so i guess i shall let you know. whisky peek and cactus island is a home for thugs and bounty hunters,and i tell you what. you help me take them out,and in return i will let you have half the towns treasure plus i will let you have this mighty sword. cause to be honest im tired of being chased so i am just gonna find a place and live it out in peace." shanks had to think on that offer some. was it right to just go threw and attack a whole city,and on top of that they had feed them,him and his crew,wait thats right,his crew was still back in the town. and if what this man says is true and the towns people are in fact bounty hunter,then his crew would be in trouble. " yes,have you figured it out yet,your crew is still down at the town. now they usually only go for high bounty people like captains or 2 mates,and then they usually kill the rest." no shanks could not let that happen,so he would have to help this man,if he wanted to make sure he did not lose his men. " ok,i have made up my mind...i will help you,but only so i can get that sword and to save my crew from getting killed,so what are we doing". shanks would have to do what ever the plan was,he just hopped that it was not that bad. " a plan ah,well i did not really have one,but i did bring this cannon,so i guess i am not gonna need this. here you can go ahead and have it,i will not be needing it." with that the giant man tossed down the sword to shanks. when he grabbed on to it,he could feel that  it was no ordinary sword,it was much more heaver then a normal sword. it felt like it had power of its own. " thank you sir,now shall we begin." shanks said. " yes lets." the giant man said. with that he aimed his cannon and fired it,making it hit a building. " hey careful my crew could be in one of those building,so wait until my men is out before you go blowing things up." shanks yelled not knowing which building they was in. " oh sorry about that." with that they headed into the town.

Spoiler:

it was now time,in just a few seconds shanks would be in a big battle. and it would be his first big one too, but if he survived it,he would probably be known in most of the sea,s. with his new sword in hand,shanks relished that the blade was a little heaver then the one he had on him. drawing his second sword shanks was now ready,in this fight he would have to go in at full force. so he would use his hands for the swords,and the rest of his body he would use the powers of his devil fruit. looking over at the giant,they nodded and then made there way into the village. as they got near the village shanks could see his men standing there as they looked like they was ready for battle. but when they all saw that there captain was also with them,they all seemed shocked. "c..captain,what are you doing with those people,they are the bad people." shanks just stood there as the brim of his straw hat covered his face from view except his mouth. reaching up with his hand,shanks grabbed his hat,and lifted it up so his face could be seen. " men,YOU HAVE ALL BEEN DECEIVED, THE REAL BAD ONES ARE THE ONES BEHIND YOU,STANDING IN THE BUILDINGS. THEY ARE NOT VILLAGE,THEY ARE NOTHING BUT BOUNTY HUNTERS." with that,shanks voice calmed down. " and im guessing,if i had not arrived they would have tried to take your heads,but no one,is allowed to even think about hurting one of my crew mate,if so,they then have me to deal with,so you stupid bounty hunters can get your asses out here,and deal with me,the captain,a man with a 56,000 bounty on his head." when shanks said that,a net suddenly surrounded shanks crew as it pulled them up,and trapping them like fish. " well,well,this just can not do,no sir it can not, i Sherlock, is not gonna let you get away,not now. not after you discovered our secret. yes its true we are nothing but bounty hunters,but we also work for a underground company, which calls them self's Baroque Works." when he said that every one froze. every one there had heard that name some where,as it was once owned by a former 7 war lord,but then got beaten by monkey d luffy. but that was so long ago it was nothing but a legend now. " big deal,like i really care who you are,or who you work for,but i do know one thing..you touched my crew,so now,IM GONNA KICK YOUR ASSES." with that,shanks took his black sword and shot a compressed projectile shaped like a crescent moon. the blades of air cut the rope and made his crew fall. Once his men was back over where he was,all the bounty hunters suddenly came out from hiding. they just stood there for a moment as they just faced down each other. just then they all rushed in at each other as they clashed. now every one was in a big crowed and it was hard to see which was his men and which was the bounty hunters. just then a man came from behind him,as he came down with his sword. so then sheathing his sword,and closing his eyes,shanks suddenly rushed threw 5 people as he unsheathed and sheathed his sword before any one saw a thing. the five men,bent back as blood started flowing threw there wounds,and then feel down. looking around his men looked to also be holding there own. and the giant was just plowing threw them all like they was nothing. turning around,shanks came up with his strong black blade as he cut right threw the other mans sword and killed him. it looked like they still had a lot of men lift,as he could now see in this fight,he would have to go all out,even if he could not move for a week after it.

the battle was getting fiercer as men was dropping like fly's all around shanks. blood was now flooding the streets as more and more men was dying. shanks and the half  giant was now facing back to back as they fought off the bounty hunters of whisky peak,but it was starting to look like they would not make it out of there.  shanks knew that unless they wanted to get out of there,he would have to start using some of his better moves. so taking his black sword, he places it  horizontally above the shoulder of his sword arm, and then performs a circular swing that launches a air compressed projectile spiraling towards his target. that was one of his best moves,he calls it the, Sanbyakurokuju Pound Ho, which was much stronger then his normal Sanjuroku Pound Ho.  thanks to that move,shanks had taken out at least 10 bounty hunters,but that was still not good enough,so he had to rely on his most powerful  attack,his devil fruit powers. " men listen up,im about to use my devil fruit power,and i might have mastered it,but i still have some mess ups every now and then,so please,watch out." with that,shanks started steaming,as his body started to freeze up,and before long his whole body looked like a frozen statue. " now ice age." placing his hands on the ground,he froze it,the ice would leave his hands,and slowly cover the battle field and then using his will power,shanks froze the enemy,but my mistake he also froze some of his men. oh shit,it still happened,damn i need to learn how to only freeze the enemy,and not my friends. shanks thought,but now that,that was over,they finished off the bounty hunters,and so now they could have a nice rest. once they had rested and stocked up,they said there good byes to the half giant and his men. " say Mr giant,you still have not told me your name,so what my it be if i my ask." the half giant stood there for a moment then spoke. " yes that's right,i did forget to tell you my name,well my name is yokosune" shanks just smiled when he told him his name,he was gonna try and get him to join his crew. he could really use a big man like that on his journey. " that's great to know,my name is monkey,D shanks,and i well me king of the pirates one day. i like you,and i like your strength,why not join my crew,i could really use some one like you,in my crew." the man stood there as he thought,he was not sure,he did say before he gave shanks the sword that he was tried and he wanted to settle down,but then he spoke. " well king of the pirates ha,that's a pretty big goal your aiming for,there are tones of people trying to obtain that,but if you are truly going for a tittle like that,then what the hell,yeah i will join your crew." that was great news for shanks as he had the biggest grin on his face now. " that's great news yokosune,so now lets get going,on our next big adventure." with that they headed onto the ship and left for the next island.
