Chapter 7: Chapter-7{Trafalgar D. Water Law}

<p>(Helmeppo's POV)<br/>After the chat with Sengoku, I left with a group of sailors who had their faces covered with mask and wearing some black cloaks that same night after saying goodbye to Koby who looked confused as to why I said 'goodbye.'<br/>Apparently the Heart Pirates was last seen on an island named "Kyuka Island."<br/>Miyamoto himself is a wanderer so just travelling improves my imitation.<br/>[Imitating System]<br/>[Characters Unlocked:- Gintoki Sakata, Miyamoto Musashi(34%)]<br/>While training on the ship while we were travelling, I've finally managed to awaken "Armament Haki".<br/>Haki is essentially a power based on will. If you're will is strong enough, your Haki will be stronger.<br/>While I can use Armament Haki fine on my body, coating it to the sword is quite difficult.<br/>Finally after another 10 days we've finally arrived at the island.<br/>After arriving at the island, the ship that took me left immediately without even stocking up supplies.<br/>Seeing this I thought S.W.O.R.D seems to be a bigger deal than I thought.<br/>But then again isn't this stupid? I mean a whole ship with people wearing masks just screams "suspicious people" to me.<br/>Well now isn't the time to wasting thinking about that.<br/>After inquiring(bribing) the townspeople, I heard the Heart Pirates was in a famous tavern nearby called "The Nag's Head."<br/>Actually taverns in a pirate world is one of those high-risk, high-reward types of business.<br/>Because tavern and pirates are synonymous to each other. If the pirates first came to an island, 90% of them would first go to a tavern in the island.<br/>As soon as I entered the tavern, a strong stench of alcohol hit me right in the face which honestly I got used to in the training camp as even people like Koby like to drink in this world.<br/>Well I like it too.<br/>I scanned the tavern and spotted a group of people wearing the same clothes.<br/>And look who it is, it's the Heart Pirates in the flesh.<br/>Perhaps because they of their notoriety the tables around them were not occupied.<br/>I went to the empty table next to them and sat alone naturally to 'provoke' them.<br/>I noticed the moment I sat down, two individuals glanced at me immediately.<br/>Bepo and Law looking at me with narrowed eyes. It looks like they have keen senses.<br/>"What are you looking at pirates?" I spoke in a deep voice while looking at them essentially portraying myself as someone who has 'grudge' with pirates.<br/>Suddenly all the chatter in the bar stopped. The people in the bar looked at me like a fool for provoking the Heart Pirates.<br/>Heh only if they know.<br/>"What's your goal swordsmen?" Law spoke in a serious voice while simultaneously alerting his crew mates to remain vigilant and gripped his sword tightly.<br/>I drew my sword and without saying anything immediately charged at Law and slashed at him.<br/>"ROOM." Law immediately got serious as the opponent he's currently facing is by the strongest since he formed his own pirate group.<br/>"SHAMBLES!" Law immediately exchanged his position with the chair behind me and attacked me.<br/>It looks like Law thought of taking advantage of the fact that I don't know of his abilities.<br/>But unfortunately for him I do. Even if O didn't my Observation Haki still sensed him.<br/>I instantly blocked his attack and without giving him any chance to be even surprised, I slashed at him with [Tobu Zangeki] to which law dodged by a centimetre while the slash continued and cut the tavern in half.<br/>(Law's POV)<br/>This guy is a monster, I thought with a cold sweat looking at him who still looks relaxed after releasing an attack of that magnitude.<br/>The moment I locked my eyes with him, he suddenly grinned which made my hair stand in fright.<br/>Before I could do anything, he instantly appeared before me and slashed at me with his sword.<br/>(3rd Person POV)<br/>"LAW!!!" Shouted the Heart Pirates as they rushed towards Helmeppo.<br/>But Helmeppo slowly rested his sword on the kneeling Law.<br/>"Stay." Ordered Helmeppo to the Heart Pirates.<br/>The Heart Pirates stopped in fright.<br/>"What the hell do you want?!" Roared Bepo who was serious for once.<br/>"Oi pirate, I will let you live if you exchange your life with one of your crew mates." Said Helmeppo to Law ignoring Bepo while slowly raising his aura to pressure him and at the same time showing his strength.<br/>Law's eyes narrowed and within a second he replied "Will you let them go, If I die?" Asked Law to Helmeppo.<br/>"Law don't!!" Shouted the Heart Pirates.<br/>"Heh, so you're saying that you will exchange your life for your crew mates?" Asked Helmeppo 'curiously.'<br/>"Yes." Replied Law solemnly.<br/>"No please don't! Kill me instead!!" Shouted Bepo with desperation in his voice.<br/>"Hoh, then die!" Said Helmeppo to Law ignoring Bepo.<br/>"Sorry, everyone." Said Law with his eyes closed.<br/>But Helmeppo suddenly kicked Law in the direction of the Heart pirates.<br/>Bepo catches Law and with a stunned expression not understanding why I kicked him towards his side.<br/>"You have a good captain." I said to Law's crew whom eyes were wide in shock.<br/>"You have a good crew. Take care of them and get stronger." I said to Law while smiling.<br/>Helmeppo went to the counter of the tavern and left a bag of gold to the terrified owner and was about to leave the tavern.<br/>"Wait!" Said Law standing with Bepo's support to Helmeppo.<br/>"Will you join my crew?!" Shouted Law ignoring his bewildered crew-mates.<br/>"And why should I?" Asked back Helmeppo to Law with genuine curiosity this time.<br/>"Because you didn't honour the deal. So you owe me one." Said Law reminding him the fact that Helmeppo killing him and letting his crew mates live to Helmeppo.<br/>Helmeppo suddenly appeared before Law scaring Law's crew mates before supporting Law together with Bepo.<br/>"Hahahahaha you're interesting! Fine I'll join your crew." Helmeppo said to Law.<br/>(Law's Pov)<br/>'JACKPOT!!'<br/>(Helmeppo's Pov)<br/>'JACKPOT!!'<br/>'Sigh, well even though joining Heart Pirates was my priority, I didn't think I could do it today itself much less Law himself inviting me.'<br/>[Imitating System]<br/>[Characters Unlocked:- Gintoki Sakata, Miyamoto Musashi(34–>49%)]<br/>Well it looks like the pirate identity matches quite well with Miyamoto.<br/>(A/N:- By the way please follow me on insta.
