The Hero of Justice of all Seas

. Shiro woke up from screams that could be heard from the street. He got up without any problems, there was no pain or wounds. Leaving the room and walking around a little more, he found the front door. Going out into the street, he was presented with a scene that made something clench inside him. In front of Genzo, who was kneeling, holding the wound on his shoulder, stood a tall and muscular man, with blue skin, a sawtooth nose and teeth sharp, like the most perfect dagger. Behind him there were many more like him, only they were different in some way. Shiro remembered that in the books he read, there were mentions of certain fish people. They were described as people, with elements of certain representatives of the aquatic world. It was also mentioned that they are ten times stronger than normal humans. - You did not understand? I told you to have the money by this evening! - shouted that same fish-man, while the rest of his gang chuckled from behind, looking at Genzo with a mockingly arrogant look. “There will be money for you, Arlong,” the sheriff spat out the fish-man’s name, trying to get to his feet. “This will be an example to you why you shouldn’t argue with me,” Arlong showed his brutal grin. Shirou couldn't stand it when ordinary people were suffering. He always helped everyone at school. Even as a child, he protected Sakura. He was filled with incredible rage. Biting his lip, Emiya, no longer even hiding, shouted: “Hey, you bastard!” - Shiro shouted, and everyone, including the people standing behind Genzo, turned their attention to him. - What right do you have to take money from ordinary residents! - Boy..! - the man whispered, looking at the bandaged guy, who, for a patient, looked good. He wasn't hunched over, he wasn't holding onto anything, and he stood straight, looking at Arlong, who turned to look at him with some slight irritation in his eyes. - Hm. I’ve never seen you among these people, I would remember such a madman,” the fish-man hissed. - Hatchan, deal with him. “Yes, boss,” responded the fish-man, who looked like an octopus with six arms, and each arm had one sword. - My name is Hatchan! I am a great master of the Six Swords Style! - Six... swords? - Shiro asked in bewilderment, looking at the fish-man. - It will be interesting to fight with the master. - Ha! Make sure you don’t regret this desire! - the fish-man shouted, swinging his sword and trying to deliver a slashing blow, which Emiya easily dodged. Already on an instinctive level, he projected two blades - Kansho and Bakuya. - Trace on!- words that were familiar to Shiro put him into a trance. Squeezing his blades more comfortably, he rushed at Hatchan, and with one blow left a huge cut on the fish-man’s chest, which immediately began to bleed. After delivering a couple more blows, Emiya looked at the fish-man. - Kha! - Hatchan spat out a clot of blood, clutching the wound. Everything swam before the fish-man’s eyes until he lost consciousness. - Hati! - shouted the fish-man, with thick and large lips and blond hair, looking in amazement at his defeated comrade. - Bastard! He put his lips forward and a jet of water shot out of them at high speed, rushing towards Emiya. For Shirou, the speed of the jet was not very fast, so dodging it was not such an impossible task. Having closed the distance with the fish-man, he struck several blows to the fish-man's torso. At the same moment, another fish-man tried to attack Emiya in the neck from behind. Quickly turning around, Shiro managed to defend himself from the fish-man with his blades. The enemy tried to attack the magician again, but he dodged and inflicted several wounds on his enemy. Afterwards, he dealt a slashing blow to the fish-man’s hands. With the next blow, he knocked out his opponent - Bastard..! Arlong growled, shifting his gaze from his defeated comrades to Emiya, who looked back into the fishman's eyes. “Apparently today will be another day when I will prove that fish-men are the greatest race in the world!” Your head will be the perfect trophy for me! Emiya just frowned and, taking a stance, was ready to attack Arlong. The same one pulled out a giant sword from behind his back, a sword with six large teeth. Bending down, the fish-man rushed towards Shiro. For an ordinary person, Arlong moved incredibly fast, which could not even be noticed by the eye, but not for Emiya. As soon as Arlong was in front of the magician, he swung his sword, intending to attack Emiya. He, noticing the action of the fish-man, simply looked at it. Arlong was about to cut the magician into pieces, when suddenly... - Wh... WHAT?! Emiya cut Arlong's sword into two pieces. One of the parts, having flown a little, stuck into the ground. Raising his gaze, Shiro saw the surprised look of the people and Arlong himself, who was looking in disbelief at the stump of his once gigantic sword. - Ha! - Arlong laughed, throwing away the stump, baring his sharp shark teeth. “I don’t need a sword to defeat a lowlife like you.” My teeth will gnaw everything in this world! Arlong, bending slightly, lunged towards Emiya, intending to attack the red-haired magician. Finding himself opposite Shiro, the fish-man was already ready to attack, when he suddenly noticed that there was no enemy! - This is the end of your atrocities! - came from behind Arlong and the next thing he felt was the incredible pain he felt all over his back. It turned out to be a huge wound that stretched from the neck to the waist. - Sha-ha-ha-ha! I can still fight! Arlong shouted as he rushed towards Emiya again. Dodging the enemy's blow,and swinging his blade, Shiro left the same wound on the fish-man’s chest as on his back. Clenching his fist, the pirate turned around and looked at Emiya. All his clothes were cut and bloody, and his head began to feel heavy. Shiro, turning around, had already launched a cross attack, leaving a new bleeding wound on Arlong's chest. Now there will definitely be a scar in the shape of a cross on Arlong’s chest. The fish-man's body could no longer tolerate this. Rolling his eyes and spitting out a clot of blood from his mouth, Arlong fell onto his side, losing consciousness. The fish-men, who had come to their senses, could not believe their eyes—there was no way their captain could lose to a common man! It was impossible! The magician turned towards the fish-men and, hearing that Arlong’s body had fallen, he spoke: “Get out of this village and never come back!” The fish-men, as if stung, jumped up from the ground and, taking their commander in their arms, ran away towards the sea. The people who saw this simply looked at the retreating enemies with silent shock. Genzo simply couldn't believe it. His cap fell and he stared at the ground. • “Nine years in ten minutes,” the mayor whispered in amazement, picking up his cap from the ground. “He really did it... Someone defeated Arlong!” - the girl with blue hair shouted, barely restraining herself from crying. Emiya turned around and saw a happy crowd of people who could no longer hold back their tears. Everyone rejoiced, hugged, and already understood that the nightmare was over. Shiro simply smiled, looking at the people. He was able to help these people. - Wow! “Invincible Arlong” himself has been defeated! - was heard from behind Emiya. Turning around, he saw a man. On his face were thin mustaches, like those of some rat or mouse, and a small beard. And on his head was a white cap with mouse ears and the inscription “MARINE”. And he himself was dressed in a white uniform with a grayish-blue coat. “I think I can thank you.” “Thank you...” “I’m Nezumi, captain of the Marines,” said the captain, showing himself where Shiro saw several more people, with the same caps as Nezumi’s, and with a gun at the ready. “Thank you, Nezumi-san,” Emiya bowed. -Have you caught Arlong? “Yes, we caught him and almost his entire crew when his team tried to escape, but only a few members of his gang managed to escape,” the captain said, stroking his mustache. “That’s how it is,” Shiro whispered, stroking his chin. It's good that Arlong and his gang were caught, now they won't be able to harm anyone. But this captain was annoying him. His evil grin brought back far from rosy memories. - There is only one “but”. - Hm? “Now you are a danger to civilians, since you defeated the strongest pirate of the East Blue!” Nezumi said with a nasty grin, and many dumbfounded glances stared at him, including Emiya’s. “And you need to pay a fine of fifty million bellis for harboring a potential criminal!” - Nezumi shouted to the residents, whose eyes were almost popping out of their heads. -What are you talking about? - asked the worried Genzo, looking first at the magician and then at the captain. “What are you hearing about,” Nezumi answered sarcastically. - I ask you to surrender without resistance, otherwise we will have to open fire! Indeed. All the soldiers pointed their guns at Emiya's figure, looking at him. “This... Is this the justice they write about in books? Are these the protectors of people? These are the defenders of peace and justice?! If this is them, then all this has surrendered to me!” - Shiro thought and with a gloomy face began to walk towards Nezumi. The same one, seeing Emiya’s look, which clearly did not promise anything good, shouted: “Fire!” The captain was about to say something when the Marines opened fire on Emiya, when he suddenly noticed something that almost made his eyes fly out of their sockets. Emiya fought off all the bullets! - K... How?! - Nezumi shouted, pointing his gun and also opening fire. None of those present could believe it, especially Genzo. He rememberedthat yesterday he found a guy in the forest, only wounded, but the very next day he defeats the strongest pirate in the East Blue and easily repels all the bullets! “My name is Shirou Emiya,” the magician began when everyone stopped shooting at him. - And I recommend that you leave. “How dare you!” the captain was about to say, but suddenly Emiya appeared in front of him and pointed his blade at his chest. “So this is what the Watch really is, you don’t help people, you just want to rob them,” Shiro whispered. “Even I will be of more use than you!” Emiya swung his blade sharply, leaving a long gash on the captain's cheek, from which a trickle of blood ran. - Get out of here! — The red-haired magician said firmly, looking at Nezumi. - Hic! - the captain squealed, touching his cheek. “You bastard, rest assured, tomorrow your face will be on a wanted poster, and the whole East Blue will know about you!” Without stopping for long, Nezumi and his henchmen left the village, although threats could be heard towards Emiya. “Guy,” all the villagers approached him, led by Genzo. They looked into his eyes. And suddenly they did something that Emiya could never have expected. - Thank you! - They all dropped to their knees, thanking Shiro. He, not expecting this, suddenly began to get nervous, and quickly said: “Yes, I didn’t do anything like that.” Please stand up! “No, guy,” Genzo stood up, shaking off his cap. “You freed us from this nightmare.” For nine years we felt like slaves under the yoke of Arlong,” the mayor turned his head and said loudly: “So if we are free, then let’s start the holiday!” - YES! - all residents supported the idea of ​​their mayor. *** “Well, drink,” said the already drunk Genzo, handing a mug of alcohol to Emiya, who was drinking juice. - Still, this holiday took place because of you. - Genzo looked towards the residents, who were having fun and laughing, and some were even playing funny songs on musical instruments. - Sorry, but I'm not even eighteen! - Shiro said, taking a sip of some juice. - Oh, don’t start, ha-ha-ha! - The law lives in me, and it says that this cannot be done! “Okay, I’ve convinced you,” the mayor gave in, sipping a little alcohol from his wooden mug. — By the way, this is what I wanted to ask you. - M? — At that moment, you created a weapon as if out of thin air. “Yours! I got so angry at Arlong that I forgot that magic shouldn't be shown! What to do?! How can I make an excuse!?” — Emiya thought quickly, going through the options one by one. “You know,” Genzo attracted the attention of the magician. “I heard that in the vastness of the sea there is an incredible thing called the Devil Fruit.” - Devil Fruit? — asked an interested Shiro. - This is a fruit that gives the person who tries it incredible strength! - Genzo spread his hands. - The power can be any! There is only one drawback. They say if you eat one of these, the sea will become your enemy until your death! - A? - said Shiro, who did not understand, tilting his head to the side. “You won’t be able to swim anymore, I say,” Genzo explained, taking another sip of alcohol. “Each one is different in shape, but they basically have different spiral patterns. Haven't eaten this one? - Hm? Yes, it seemed like that,” Shiro lied, scratching the back of his head. “Well, be careful, I wouldn’t want a young man with such a kind heart to die,” said Genzo, emptying his mug. - Now let's celebrate!
