Chapter 6 - Chapter 6: Black Mask

Law Cromwell P.O.V

I managed to do another three good deeds throughout the night. Punishing two men for harassing a girl, saving people from a fire breakout and catching a thief.

I wanted to do much more but my stamina was already thinning after teleporting so much so I decided to use the remaining stamina to get back home and sleep.

I managed to increase Trafalgar Law 's template by 0.6% in just one night which might not seem impressive but considering it was achieved in just one night, it is very impressive. So my current Trafalgar law Template is at 10.6%.

I teleported in such a way to avoid the security cameras. After I got home, I stored the sword in the inventory. I then changed my clothes and ate two sandwiches.

While I was thinking what if S.H.I.E.L.D and Hydra try to find me because of my late night exploits. Well, They wouldn't be able to track me down since I didn't leave any clues behind. Besides, Shield wouldn't try to contact me until they are sure I have super powers and not based on rumours.

While Hydra would maintain their distance until I interfere into there business, so I should be fine. Who am I kidding both Nick Fury and Hydra top level agents are paranoid people, they wouldn't let a supposedly person with superpowers go unchecked.

I then went to sleep since I had to wake up early to do training and then go to school.

*Yawn*

I woke up early in the morning. I changed my clothing to a more appropriate one for training. Then I started to train the basics of Urahara swordsmanship. I followed his every move from the memory.

The swordsmanship was about striking the enemy from different angles. The sword strikes were from various angles to confuse and catch the opponents off-guard for sneak attacks. It needed to perform attacks with perfect precision.

After two hours, I finally managed to increase Urahara's template progress to 1%.

[You have been rewarded with Benihime Zanpakutō for reaching 1 percent in Kisuke Urahara's template]

A light yellow coloured cane appeared in my hands.

Benihime is a blade hidden inside a cane with a curved handle and silver base. As the blade resides in a cane, the cane's handle is still the hilt and the shaft is the sheath, allowing it to still operate like other Zanpakutō.

Suddenly I thought maybe I can already use its shikai as I already know its name.

I tried saying 'Benihime' but no response.

Dang, Looks like to use shikai, I will have to learn the name from the Zanpakutō' spirit directly. No shortcuts I guess.

I had a hard time deciding whose sword and swordsmanship I should use.

The logical choice would be Urahara since well he was a shinigami and they are mostly defined with their Zanpakutō's. But Law's swordsmanship was designed to work with his devil fruit abilities. Ultimately I decided to create my own swordsmanship when I master both of their swordsmanship.

As for the sword I would use, I just decided to switch each day for now. Later I would use Law's sword to fight people that are considerably weaker and Benihime against stronger opponents.

Anyways, I washed up and got ready to go to school. While I was eating breakfast, I opened the news channel on the Tv to see if anything interesting was happening.

I read the headlines and it said "Does New York City have a vigilante now?"

A reporter was asking a girl some questions.

I recognised the girl whom I saved from being harassed by two men.

"How did this guy in the hoodie and the mask save you?" The reporter asked the girl.

The girl said "I was going back home from my night shift but two men suddenly blocked my way and were pressuring me to come with them at their place. Then suddenly a man with a black mask appeared from nowhere like a ghost and knocked out the two men and before I could thank him, he suddenly disappeared."

"We also have a fire officer who has also seen this Black mask guy. Let's hear it from him."

"We were putting off a fire which had broken out and two people were trapped in the house. This black mast guy suddenly appeared and then the two trapped people also appeared as if they were teleported. The black mask disappeared before we could ask anything about him." The fire officer said as the reporter took the mic from him and

said "This is not the only two incidents where this black mask wearing guy appeared. Let's hear it from Officer Mark."

The Police officer recounted the last night's bank robbery incident. "We interrogated some bank robbers who were caught by this black guy. According to them, he suddenly appeared at the place where the security guard was and the security guard disappeared. We found the guard unconscious nearby. The robbers said that he made their guns float and bent a steel pipe to tie them up. I can confirm this as we saw them tied up by a steel pipe terrified. The robbers called this guy a Ghost."

"What's the opinion of him?" The reporter asked

"We respect that he helped the people who required his help as a good citizen should. As long as he doesn't harm anyone or take justice into his own hands, he would not be accountable for any crime." He said

I can't promise him that. There are criminals that only learn after dying or having a taste of pain.

"So here you have folks, Is this Black Mask guy a Vigilante or a hero? Does he have superpowers or is it just a made-up rumour? Send us your thoughts on Black Mask on the email below. We will keep you posted about Black Mask." She ended the report with this.

Black Mask? Couldn't they have come with a better name? Anyways it could have been worse.

I turned off the tv and started to walk to school. It was not that far away from my house.

I reached the school within 15 minutes and walked to my locker. Thankfully no one was bullying anyone today.

I saw Peter as he walked to me "Thank you for yesterday Law."

"No problem" I said

"I am called Peter Parker. You would have heard Flash say my name multiple times, he is my biggest fan." He introduced himself as I laughed a little at his joke as we walked to the class together.
