A sudden pressure was released from Rag Tie's body, the oppressing atmosphere turned the remaining Raggy pirates to kneel and foam from their mouth.
Rag Tie's fruit was the Lizard-Lizard no mi, Model: Salamander.
The pressure could make any low-life pirate knocked out from the blood lust that was emitted.
The blood lust released though, didn't scare Draco at all.
Draco looked towards Rag Tie's newly transformed body with interest, 'Is this the strength of a normal crewmate of Xebecs?' although Draco wasn't affected, he was somewhat surprised that with a bounty of less than 100 million, he was strong if not stronger then Luffy pre-time skip.
Rag tie's body, now transformed to a large size of 20 feet tall, double his human size. Bulging muscle with Buso Haki covering his whole body, His scaly body gave him the defense to deflect bullets. With his overall physical increased by twice as much!
Rag Tie menacingly yells out, "You aren't normal I see; I'll end this quick!"
With supernatural speed, Rag Tie dashes toward Draco with killing intent, swinging both his cutlasses horizontally full force toward Draco's neck.
{TWIN GUILLOTINE}
Draco this time didn't dodge but stood there taking the attack head-on.
The swing struck Draco's neck intending to chop off his head. The cut was instead stopped, Rag Tie, shocked and instinctively jumped back a few meters before questioning the kid.
"What... are... you?" squinting at Draco, with a few sweats on his face. Rag Tie's experiences over the decades of being a pirate have told him that the kid before him is not to be messed with. Even on the deck of Xebec, he could only count with one hand who would be able to take a hit and not even be scathed by it.
A brief moment of silence went by before Rag Tie said,
"We give up, we'll give you whatever you want, just let us set sail and we won't be disturbing you again."
"You come on someone's property, attack them then just want to leave?" Draco unamused by the situation in front of him, "I don't take too kindly to violence... I'm somewhat of a pacifist you see, I won't be one to start a fight, but I will end it".
Realizing Draco did not intend to let him go, Rag Tie angrily yells, "I WILL DIE TRYING!!!", Dashing forward heavily, activating his Haki, the pirate captain swings his cutlasses as if in a frenzy.
each swing had a force that tore the air apart, creating shockwaves after shockwaves blowing the sand and everything in its path away. While this happens, Draco raises his hand nonchalantly deflecting each attack with his hand without the use of Haki.
The battle goes on for a few more seconds before Draco soru's behind Rag Tie and clocks his fist. swinging it towards Rag Tie.
The last thing Rag Tie saw behind dying was Draco's fist going towards his face, 'DEATH IS INEVITABLE', unable to move at all, Rag Tie smiled at this thought.
{Normal Series: Normal Punch}
Draco, with a somewhat more formal swinging stance, brings down his fist towards Tag Tie, the force of this punch creates a vacuum of space before pushing forward in the direction of the swing. The swing had created a giant shockwave that decimated everything in its path. The pirate ship, the remaining raggy pirates, and the captain itself had been atomized as if they no longer existed.
The swing caused so much destruction, as even the aftermath of the attack had the trees behind Draco uprooted and the house that he had built collapsed upon itself.
"I thought I controlled my strength pretty well, well not enough as I'd hope", Draco says out loud after turning his head towards his back.
---- Two Days Later ----
Although Draco had destroyed everything, he saw that the supplies that the pirates had moved out of their ships were still floating on the sea, storing them up, he had now looked at what they had.
2 million Berries with a lot of boos. The Raggy pirates didn't even have meat stored, just a bunch of alcohol, which Draco loved. He was a big drinker back on earth, even now with an 8-year-old body, Draco took his first sip
'Jesus, it's so silky and goes straight towards my guts, its strong alright. No wonder pirates love to drink these'. Draco was completely in shock, it tasted different than what he had on earth, but this beer was well-kept.
After drinking, Draco went out to look for more sea kings to cook for the night but what he didn't notice because he isn't always cautious 24/7 was that there was a huge ship going towards his island, The ship had a jolly Roger that was somewhat starting to gain infamy throughout the whole 4 seas, The jolly roger had a skull with a mustache that waved out on another with crossbones.
[On the ship, Oro Jackson]
"Wuahahahahh!!! how lucky could we be huh Rayleigh, if it isn't an island we can finally rest on."
"This isn't time to be laughing roger, I could have sworn, I sensed someone had just left the island at fast speeds," Rayleigh says with an ominous tone.
"I know" smirks Roger, "I'm excited to what kind of person could move that fast" Before Rayleigh could respond, "I GET FIRST PICK AT HIM"
Rayleigh disagrees which then starts a bickering between the two individuals. The crew on the Ora Jackson sweated as they see this scene. This has happened many times when they meet a new person.
Rayleigh sighs before raising both his hands and giving up. Roger notices this and laughs before jumping on the edge of the Oro Jackson and leaping towards the island which is about 100 meters away. This shook the Oro Jackson after which Rayleigh yelled at Roger from afar, Roger still in the air responded with a burst of laughter that could be heard as he leaped.
The Roger pirates on the ship stammered as it heaved around from Roger's leap.
"What happening? are we finally settling? also, why is captain so excited?" a red-haired boy asked Rayleigh, "I'm guessing we're about to meet a very interesting person when we settle, let's just hope they aren't violent." Rayleigh gives a vague answer
---- An Hour later ----
Draco, done with his routine fishing had come back with 3 sea kings trailing behind him dead, tied up behind him.
Swimming back towards the island, Draco sensed many people on his island. not even scared, he jumped out of the water, landing on the beach where Roger standing and Rayleigh resting on a barrel had been waiting for the last hour.
There was a tense atmosphere as they stared at each other for a few minutes before Roger smiled and started talking to heighten the mood.
"what's your name kid?"
"Draco"
"Are you a modified human? I've been hearing about them recently"
"No, I'm human"
"You're so young, yet you're over here killing sea kings as if nothing, it's not good to lie"
Completely annoyed by that question Draco redirects the question.
"Are you... The Roger pirates?"
"You've heard of us huh, Draco" Smiled Roger
"You could say so..." Draco pauses before continuing, "Roger pirates, Gol D. Roger with a bounty around 3 billion", Draco says with a pretended shocked face.
Roger smiling looks at Draco and unsheathes his weapon, "Ace", a cutlass that is considered one of the 12 supreme grade blades. "you're a bounty hunter then?", Roger asks with a serious tone.
"nope"
"ah, WAHAHAHAHA, I can tell you don't intend to fight"
*click*
Roger sheathes Ace before smiling and taking a swig of beer he had on his other hand.
"I don't intend to but what are you doing invading someone's home?"
Draco was certainly in a mess that wasn't shown on his face, his mind was considering all the possibilities and how Roger ended up on his island.
While Draco was thinking about all this, Roger asked, "What about joining my crew? You'll have a lot more fun than staying couped up on an island"
The thought of Roger asking him this shocked him even more. Although Draco wants to stay and get a grip of his strength before leaving, the dangling idea of traveling with the Roger pirates, finding the ONE PIECE, and seeing the world truly makes him suspenseful.
Before he could answer, Rayleigh tells Draco that he had his men settle on the other side of the island, although there was a huge gaping whole still there from Draco's first strength test.
Draco nods and looks at Roger with a smile on his face.
"sure"
Roger smiles at this answer and unsheathes his sword, Before Draco could do anything Roger yells out
"THERE IS A TEST TO JOIN MY CREW, YOU MUST HAVE A SPAR WITH ME!!!"
Roger activates his Haki, you can hear lightning crackling as he looks seriously at Draco. The surrounding environment started changing as clouds rolled up near the island as if a storm was brewing.
Roger's crew noticing this ran toward Rogers' position. Wondering what was happening as they'd only seen their captain output this much Haki when fighting strong opponents, that were deemed worthy.
Draco looks towards Rayleigh, Rayleigh says nothing but action by swinging his head horizontally, wondering 'When did we ever make that rule?'. Draco noticing this looked at Roger saying,
"Oh... then never mind I ref-" Before Draco could even tell Roger that he wanted to back out, Roger burst forward with a grinning smile, readying his swing towards Draco's chest.
