Title at the end.
===============
Going out on the date, Robin and I shared stories about our past experiences and the obstacles we have faced. We discussed how the world relates to those challenges and how we've grown from them. After finishing up our meal at the restaurant, we strolled the streets of Lougetown, taking in the sights and sounds of the bustling port city.
Finally, we ended up sitting on a bench, enjoying ice cream cones. Robin smiled at me as she took a lick of her chocolate ice cream.
"What's up?" I asked, noticing the pensive look on her face.
"Huh? Oh, sorry, I got lost in thought. I just realized that this might be one of the most fun dates I've ever been on," she said with a small chuckle.
"Is that weird for me to admit?" she asks.
"Is that weird for me to admit?" she asked, a hint of uncertainty in her voice.
"I'm glad you liked it," I replied with a smile. "You know, I have a little secret to share with you."
Robin looked at me curiously, wondering what this secret could be.
"Sure... What is it?"
I leaned in closer and whispered in her ear, "This was my first date."
Robin's face burns red. She has completely lost her composure as she blushes
"You are...welcome...You are my first as well.." she says struggling to hold onto her calm demeanor.
"Oh??? but I thought you said this was one of the most fun dates. Have you been dating behind my back partner?" I tease.
She cannot help but giggle at my teasing. She gives me an annoyed look while still trying to hold back her laughter.
"Oh shut up will you, stop trying to flirt with me"
she is clearly flustered by my flirting.
"I can't help it you have held my heart hostage and you know what? I seem to enjoy captivity." I laugh.
"SHI SHI SHI SHI SHI"
This was it, this is what made her finally lose her composure. I got a genuine laugh to come out of her because of the corny flirting I was doing right now with her.
"Oh my....you are terrible at flirting you know that?"
She replies with a small chuckle while still having a red hue on her face.
Guys, I think I broke her.

But all good things must come to an end. In the distance not far from where Robin and I were enjoying our ice cream a one armed grunt was pointing at us and shouting.
"THAT'S HIM! THATS THE FUCKER THAT KILLED BORRIS AND STOLE CAPTIAN'S TREASURE!"
"Shit" I curse under my breath.
"What's wrong? Do you know these people?" she askes
"Yeah, I cut of that guy's arm" I say pointing to short grunt.
"You what?"
she now looks at me with a concerned look as she tries keep her calm demeanor. She slowly takes a step forward as she tries to understand the situation. To that I also get of the bench and grab her hand.
"Come on, let's get out of here. I'm pretty sure you know a way off the Island, so I'll be in your care," I said to her with a wink as we rushed out of the now crowded area. She led me back to the docks, where a small trading vessel with around 50 people on board was preparing to set sail. The ship had two masts and two decks, and to my surprise, seemed pretty sturdy.
"Not So Fast" Said a deep voice. Standing at over six feet tall, with a muscular, imposing physique, Scally Wagg cuts an intimidating figure. His face is weathered and scarred, a testament to the many battles he has endured, and his eyes are cold and calculating, betraying a cunning and merciless nature.
"Aww Shit here we go again"
"Zephyr what is going on? asks robin
Before we could get on to the ship we were surrounded by Scally Wagg and his men, swords drawn and ready to fight.
"Robin I need you to do as I say" I tell her as I stand in front of her.
"No I won't..."
I gently grab her by the shoulders.
"Listen! It won't take long before the marines get here too... I want you to trust me. I promise you. Just get on the ship and I'll see you in Alabasta a month from now"
"But the marines and these pirates"
"Don't worry about it. For me I'm a nobody right now, but you are far too important to get caught. Now go I'll cut a path right through to ship."
"Oh No you don't YAAHHAHHHHHHH" yelled a grunt rushing towards us.
I response I run towards the grunt slicing him in two.
"GO!" I say, slicing another grunt blocking her way.
"Cent Fleur: Stomp"
A large leg came out from the ground and stomped a few other grunts while Robin ran to board the ship just as it was about to leave the docks. On the ship, she looked back at me, and I gave her a nod. Knowing that she was now safe, I turned to face Scally Wagg and his goons.
"You fucks just signed your death contracts!"
"AHAHHAHAAHAH...You pathetic shit! You think you will come out of this alive? When we are done with you will chase your little tuts and show her what a real good time is! AHAHAHAHAHAHHA.. Don't touch him he is mine!"
[DING!]
[YOU HA....]
I dismiss the system messages as Scally Wagg growls at me, he has claws on his hands and his fangs are out. I calmly take my saber out of my inventory ready to face him.
Scally Wagg lunged towards me, his movements unnaturally fast. He landed multiple powerful punches, one of which threw me against a wooden crate. I fell to the ground, blood pooling in my mouth and on the ground around me. Scally then attempted to pounce on me, his jaws open wide as if to tear me to pieces. But I managed to move out of the way just in time. In one swift motion, I slashed him with my saber. Scally stopped in his tracks, glaring at me. He was bleeding as well, his transformation now evident. His features had become more animalistic, his eyes glowing with a feral intensity. Thick fur had sprouted across his body, and his hands had morphed into clawed paws. The once-human Scally Wagg had fully embraced his Devil Fruit power, transforming into a fearsome werewolf-like creature. He let out a bone-chilling howl, the sound echoing across the docks as he prepared to renew his assault. I braced myself, knowing that I would have to fight this monstrous version of Scally Wagg with everything I had. The stakes had been raised, and I could not afford to let my guard down for even a moment.
I couldn't help but wonder what could have driven him to such lengths. Curious, I quickly checked my inventory, and to my surprise, I found the answer - a Devil Fruit.
Holding the Devil Fruit in my hands, I looked up at the towering werewolf-like figure of Scally Wagg and said, "Is this what you wanted?"
The change in Scally Wagg's demeanor was immediate. His feral eyes locked onto the fruit, and a low, guttural growl rumbled from his chest. It was clear that this was the treasure he had been so desperately pursuing.
Before Scally Wagg could react, I made my move. Without hesitation, I brought the Jiki Jiki no Mi, the Magnet Magnet Fruit, to my lips and took a bite.
The moment the fruit touched my tongue, I felt a surge of power coursing through my body. It was as if I could suddenly sense the magnetic forces all around me, and I had the ability to manipulate them with my very hands. And yes it tasted like shit!
This was not just any Devil Fruit, it was the Jiki Jiki no Mi, the Magnet Magnet Fruit. Realizing the significance of this discovery, I couldn't resist the opportunity to taunt my adversary. This Fruit was wasted on Kid and I will make no such mistake.
Scally Wagg, who had been advancing menacingly towards me, suddenly stopped in his tracks. The transformation he had undergone had made him a formidable opponent, but now, he seemed to be wary of me, sensing the change that had occurred.
With the power of the Magnet Magnet Fruit now coursing through my veins, I knew I had to act quickly to subdue the monstrous Scally Wagg. Scanning my surroundings, I spotted a metal lamp nearby and seized the opportunity.
Focusing my newfound magnetic abilities, I directed the lamp towards Scally Wagg, wrapping it around his hulking frame. The werewolf-like pirate captain let out a surprised yelp as he found himself bound by the metal coils.
Sensing my advantage, I pushed further, manipulating the metal around us and sending it hurtling towards Scally Wagg from every angle. Sharp pieces of metal pierced his skin, eliciting a pained howl from the once-fearsome pirate.
Scally Wagg thrashed and struggled against the metal restraints, but my control over the magnetic forces was unwavering. I could feel the power coursing through me, allowing me to bend the very elements around us to my will.
As the metal shards continued to barrage Scally Wagg, I could see the realization dawning on his face. The tables had turned, and he was now the one at the mercy of my newfound abilities. His feral eyes widened with a mixture of fear and desperation, a stark contrast to the confident and menacing demeanor he had displayed earlier.
I pressed my advantage, tightening the metal coils around Scally Wagg, ensuring that he was firmly restrained. The werewolf-like creature let out a pained howl, his transformation slowly receding as the power of the Magnet Magnet Fruit overwhelmed him.
It's about time I ended this. I clench my fist in front of me.
"Iron...Maiden"
Like a rotten tomato being crushed, Scally Wagg is pulverized and perforated from all the sharp metal objects being focused onto a single point.
The battlefield is dead silent. The brutality has left the goons silent and they all just stand in shock from seeing this fight. With a devilish look on my face, I turned my gaze towards the gathered goons.
I growled, my voice laced with a dangerous edge.
