The Cost Of A Hand In Need
The others cleared the main deck as Azriel and Davy J. were about to fight it out for the title of Captain.
Davy: "Ro-Ro; Boxer"!
Throwing a rotating punch, Davy's attack was blocked by several wings layered on top of each other.
(fump)
Spreading the wings, Davy was knocked back, allowing Azriel to swing her sword at him.
(CLANG)
But with Davy possessing Haki, her attacks were hard-pressed to do any damage.
Davy: You're going to need to try harder than that if you wanna be Captain!
Davy: "Ro-Ro; Lumberjack!"
Spinning his whole body with one leg, Davy threw a spinning heel kick at Azriel.
(CLANG)
Azriel: I possess the power of a mythical Zoan. YOU'RE going to need to try harder if you want me to let you have this ship!
(Years ago)
A young Azriel was carrying a heavy package with all her might back to her home. To avoid her village and anyone attempting to take it, she went the long way around.
After a whole day of carrying this heavy load, she arrived home and looked up to see the fish float by.
Her home was a hidden underwater island surrounded by a big bubble of air.
It was known as Atlantis.
(Opening theme)
The young Azriel brought her heavy box into her house where she was greeted by her father and ill little sister.
Azriel: See! I told you mom left us something!
She broke open the package she dug up and revealed gold, jewels, and another little box. However, there was an issue. This isolated island did not use or value the same things as a currency that the rest of the world did.
Azriel:.... This... This is valuable right...? Right!?
Azriel: Valuable enough to buy medicine, right?
Father: Az... In the upper lands-
Was enough to bring an exhausted Azriel to her knees.
Azriel: Th-Then why did she leave us this crap....?
Father: Your mother... Wasn't smart...
Sister:(coughs)
Sister: What's in the box?
Azriel: Who cares.....
(Present Day)
Flapping her wings, Azriel fires several feathers at great speed towards Davy.
Davy: Ugh!
Like pins in a pincushion, they cover Davy's body.
Davy: O-okay... I'll admit that was a pretty good move-
Sheathing her sword, she turned a dial before pulling it once again, now with an electrical aura.
Davy: You think an electricity sword-
She grows several massive wings that twist around her blade, creating a massive wing sword with an electrical charge.
Davy: Now wait just a second! That thing might-
Azriel: I need this ship to go to a very specific place! And you will not stop me!
(WOOOOSHH)
(Years ago...)
A young Azriel sat defeated in her room until her sick little sister walked in with a box that was in the treasure she brought back.
Sister:(coughs) Look what I found.
Presenting the open box, her little sister showed her a silver fruit with spiral patterns in the shape of an apple made of two wings.
Sister: Mom left us a yummy fruit! You wanna split it?
Azriel:(smiles) Here I was trying to make you feel better...
Grabbing the fruit, Azriel split it in half and took a bite whilst giving her sister the other half.
Azriel:!?!
The taste made her gag.
Azriel:(gulp)
Azriel: Should have known it was rotten...
Sister:(gasp)
Azriel: Hm? What's wrong?
Azriel's little sister stared at her with amazement, due to the two angelic wings which spread from her back. They would later learn that she had eaten the mythical Zoan Devil Fruit known as the Bird-Bird Fruit model; Angel.
With this power, Azriel managed to escape her island to the land above where she went out searching for a cure for her little sister.
She joined the Marines, believing they could help.
But once she found a potential cure, she had already learned that she wouldn't be able to return to her island without a special vessel.
A special vessel, such as the Wicked Wench.
(Present Day)
Azriel: HIYAAAA!!
Davy blocked the attack by crossing his arms and coating them in Haki.
(WHAM)
Davy: Ugh!
Davy: Are you trying to wreck the ship!?
Azriel:(mind) Crap. I got carried away!
She lifts her mighty wing sword.
Azriel: Just give it up. My Devil Fruit is too powerful for yours to ever match up to!
Davy J plucks a few feathers from his body.
(Pluck)
Davy:(heavy sigh)... Aye... With that remark, and you almost hitting the Wicked Wench...
Davy: I'm putting an end to this mutiny.
Grabbing his forearm, Davy J gives it a spin.
Davy: "Level 2"!!
(VrrrrrrBRRRRRRRRRR)
Davy: "JAAAACK.... GRINDER"!!!
Everyone;?
Azriel: Hmph!
Flapping her wings, she propels herself forward, creating extra wings to make a suit of armor as she raises her sword to slash at him.
Davy J. falls to his knees and blitzes toward Azriel. He swung his arm in a backhanding motion to try and cut her blade, but he miscalculated his and her speed.
(WOOOSH)
(BRRRRR)
Everyone:!?
The two flew past each other. Davy slid to a halt where whereas Azriel skipped across the deck.
(Chunk)
Her blade landed on the deck, along with Azriel's severed hand still gripping it.
Azriel: Ghaaaaa!?!
Davy: Ugghhhhhhh... Crap me a river...
The fight was over, to Tiga's dismay. Due to heavy blood loss, Azriel fell unconscious, and Shin and Ruby dealt with her injuries. Davy was recognized as captain.
Jade entered the captain's cabin where Davy sat.
Jade: Still feeling bad about cutting her hand off?
Davy: A little...
Davy: Can it be reattached?
Jade: Even if it could... You ground into oblivion about four inches from the arm.
Jade: So she'd be left with a shorter one than what she started with.
Davy: Hmmmm... That bad.
Jade: You put her in her place.
She leans against the door frame, slowly caressing the walls of the ship lovingly.
Jade: Maybe now she'll take a few deep breaths and relax.
Jade: If we're lucky, she'll realize it's not about the Devil Fruit, but how you use it. Then she'll be a great asset.
Davy: Yeah... You aren't making me feel any better.
Jade: Then how about this?
Jade: Thank you for reuniting me and her.
Davy: I'll be honest. I did for the dinner. I owed you one.
Jade: What are you talking about? I never got to pay for the meal. I technically owe you one.
Davy:.....
Jade: You didn't-
Davy: I didn't think of that, okay!?!
Jade: Fufufu~
Davy: To be Franky with you, I'm not really buying your whole story.
Jade: It doesn't matter anymore. I'm reunited with the Wicked Wench and I'm never leaving her.
Davy: Does that mean you're joining my crew?
Jade: I am a Helllord. So call me a "hostage", or a VIP. But not a crewmate.
Davy: The hell even is a Helllord besides my dad's old crew?
Jade: Heh.
Davy: You changed your laugh again...
Jade: The Helllords are the bringers of hell, death, and misfortune.
Davy: That explained nothing.
Jade:(smirks) Davy-Baby... You don't need to know more.
Jade: I'm going to go sit around and look fabulous.
Jade: Oh! One more thing. Let's stop at the next island and supply up.
Jade: Cloths, food, and other necessities would be nice.
Davy:.... You have a point.
Jade: Happy to help.
She leaves. Davy soon gets up and leaves his cabin to stretch his legs.
Azriel:(whistles)
Davy:?
Looking up, Davy sees Azriel sitting on the railing of the upper deck.
Davy: You're awake.
Azriel: You changed course to where I wanted. Why?
Davy: I have no goal on where to go. Just a quest to understand the true meaning of freedom.
Davy: If any of you wanted to go anywhere, you just had to say.
Davy: But you're going to have to spill the location.
Azriel: Just like that?
Davy: It's the least I can do.
Azriel:....
Azriel: Fine. You can be Captain. I just want to go home. Never wanted to lead Jack.
Davy:?
Davy: Hey, your arm...
Azriel: Hm? This?
She raises up her mechanical arm.
Azriel: Our little Shin hides a bug head under that bigger afro.
Azriel: Managed to make this with the remaining scrap he had. Claims it to be at least 3.6 times better than the original.
Azriel: Guess I'll find out if you screw up...
Davy: Eh?
Azriel: I'm not absolutely sold on Tiga and Victor. But Shin and Ruby should be protected.
Azriel: If they get hurt-
Davy: Let me stop you there.
Davy: As long as they call me captain. They're under my protection.
Azriel: Good to hear it.
Davy:....
Azriel:...
Davy: So what did you do with the severed hand?
Azriel: It couldn't be reattached, so I threw it overboard.
Davy: Seriously?!
Azriel: What else was I going to do with it? Keep it?
Davy: Guess you have a point. Would be kinda weird to watch a part of you rot to bones...
On an island below, Azriel's severed hand layed on the ground.
???: Ugh... Hugh.... Almost... Almost...(muffled) Got it!
To be continued......
