Chapter 12: CHAPTER 12
"Is that him?", a marine recruit asked one of his friends as he pointed at a tall man who just arrived in the base, he is carrying a plastics bag that was clearly wet. On occasion, the bag would drip. In most scenarios, the recruits would be pissed about an additional increase in their job due to mapping the floor again, but they can't be pissed, heck they won't even dare to be mad at the guy.
The man was feared at the entire Grandline, nearly everyone knows or has heard of this man on one occasion or another. This man has spread his fame and reputation throughout the entire pirates in the Grandline, he is the Grandline's number 1 bounty hunter, Enzo Lockhart.
Throughout the start of his career as a bounty hunter, the man had many monikers such as; The Monster, The Ice calamity, and the like. But the two monikers that he was most well known for were, The White Titan for the civilians, or The Bloody Titan for the pirates.
He was called the 'The White Titan' due to his zoan fruit ability that made him taller, while he was called the 'The Bloody Titan' due to how he delivers wanted pirates to exchange for their bounties.
In all of Enzo's hunts for wanted criminals, all the criminals were all delivered dead. To add infamy to his name, all the pirates were decapitated, hence the name 'The Bloody Titan'. He places all the severed heads in a plastic bag and hands it to the nearest marine base he could find.
While the reason he was called a Titan was actually because of the people in the Kingdom of Tolfa. In the past, pirates were attacking the said Kingdom and they were struggling to defend all their territories. Due to the destruction of the marine base stationed there, multiple numbers of pirates had begun attacking the towns on the Kingdom's coastline. That was the first time he showed himself, he used his zoan fruit ability that made him 22 feet tall. After saving the townspeople, he was called The White Titan. It's important to know that these people had never seen giants before, for them, Enzo was the tallest person they had ever seen.
"Don't be disrespectful you idiot", said another recruit as he swatted the arm of his colleague.
"Ouch, that hurts man", his friend responded.
"You must be respectful towards that man. I heard the Rear Admiral once stated that the Marine Headquarters tried to recruit him in the past", his friend said in a hushed tone.
"Really?"
"Yeah man, I also heard that if he agrees then he would be given a position as high as Rear-Admiral of the bat"
"Did he accept it?"
"Of course not you idiot", the recruit said as he swatted the head of his colleague with a broom.
"Stop hitting me already!", his friend said as he rubs the area that his friend just hit.
"It was said that he didn't accept the offer, but the Headquarters said the offer will always be there. So you should always show him respect. You never know if he accepts that tomorrow or in the following days and boom! He's already your superior. So every time you see him, ALWAYS show him respect"
"Alright, alright. I get it now" his friend said. The two of them watch as "The White Titan" went towards the desk. The female marine that was assigned there was clearly uncomfortable at the thought that she would be the one to interact with Enzo but still maintained her professional decorum, or at least tried to.
"I'll like to deliver a pirate", Enzo said in a neutral tone as he slams that plastic bag containing the severed head of his latest hunt.
The female marine who was shocked because of the sudden action of Enzo took 3 deep breaths to calm herself down. She shakingly opened the plastic bag and what greeted her is a severed head of a man, probably in his 30's white skin tone, it had three of its front teeth removed, a freshly shaved beard. The most noticeable thing in the head of the man was the bandana that the man was wearing in his forehead. It was the signature look of a pirate that has roamed the Grandline for 3 years now.
"This is Pirate Captain Duncan of the bandana pirates, 95 million berries", the female officer said as she took the head and motioned another recruit to get it from her and place it behind the base.
"We don't have that much money here, are you okay with a check?", the female asked.
Enzo nodded in response. Suddenly the commanding officer of the base exited his office from the second floor and spotted Enzo on the first floor with the desk clerk. With a smile on his face, he approached Enzo and asked him, "Enzo, how have you been, eh? Have you consider the marines offer again?"
The commanding officer of the base is Rear Admiral Akehende, he is a solidly built man with tan skin. He has a thin mustache and a small expanding beard on his face. He wears what appear to be either headphones or some kind of protective covering over his ears that seem to hold his thick but wavy brown hair in place
"Akehende, it's nice to see you again, but my response is still the same", Enzo said in a neutral tone.
"That's a waste then. I'll ask you again the next time we meet, who knows maybe you'll become tired of me bugging you all the time, and then bam! Your a marine, hahhahahahahaha", Rear Admiral Akehende said sarcastically.
Enzo showed no emotion about what Akehende said, Akehende was already used to this though, He had met Enzo a number of times, and all those times Enzo was always serious.
"Anyway, I just got interesting information on a pirate that has been on the target list of the Marines. You interested?" Akehende asked.
"..."
"Not, interested? hmmm...Maybe this information will help you. The pirate is the one who attacked your town in the past", Akehende said with a slight smile on his face. Due to Enzo being skilled as a bounty hunter, the marines had gathered all the information they could find on him even before he was given the chance to be selected as a Rear Admiral.
After Akehende finishes speaking the entire marine base became cold, it was cold enough that you could see your breath in the air. Akehende was fine but the rest of his fellow low ranking marines were already shivering from the cold. No doubt that the man who was responsible for this was Enzo, this was an ability of the mythical zoan fruit that he had eaten in the past.
"I see you're interested, eh. Come with me, I'm taking a warship to engage them. I'm pretty sure you would be willing to sever their heads from their bodies", Akehende said as he left the base, with Enzo trailing by only a few feet away from him.
