| - Takeshi: Hmph this looks like a good place, theres noone around we can really strech our legs. Cooker: I'm gonna crush you little man, and throw the dust of you're bones to the wind. Takeshi: I won't be so easy to crush, and you won't be doing that to my bones. From what I've heard you're a nice guy when you want to be, you won't kill me. Cooker: We shall see! *He leaps high into the air and slashes his sword downwards towards Takeshi falling straight towards him with the edge of his sword* Tooru no Hanmma! Cooker: Hmph I didn't think that you could take me on... Takeshi: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR! Takeshi: You think you can really take me out with one hit? And at that a hit which was blocked? Hehe you don't give me enough credit. Takeshi: Now to show you what I can really do! Cooker: OOF! Cooker: *He looks straight into Takeshi's eyes* Bastard... Takeshi: What? I thought you could take it. Takeshi: That reminds me you're pretty short for a giant aren't ya? Cooker: *Leaps up and rushes towards Takeshi* SHUT YOU'RE MOUTH! Takeshi: Hehe... *Coughs up blood* Looks like I made you mad. *Looks up at Cooker* But..... DO YOU REALLY THINK ANGER IS ENOUGH TO STOP ME! Cooker: This is impossible! Takeshi: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR! Cooker: *Coughs up blood* Damn it.... I...... I'm..... I'm not gonna lose here! Takeshi: You sure you can keep fighting? I didn't try to kill you but I slashed you with enough force to bring you down. Cooker: You think I would allow myself to lose to a punk like you? No chance. Takeshi: *Turns to face Cooker* Good thats what I wanna hear... Don't give in! Takeshi and Cooker: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR! Cooker: Gotcha! Cooker: What are you doing?! You can't just take out a bottle of sake and have a drink! We're in the middle of a fight! Takeshi: *Finishing the bottle* Sorry I needed to have a powerup, I was thinking about doing this earlier but I only had enough strength to push it off... Cooker: Hmmmmmm? Takeshi: You're strong but lets see if you can catch this! Cooker: I will not be beaten! Cooker: RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR! Charlie: *Looking out the window towards the direction Takeshi and Cooker are in* What the hell was that? Tetsuo: I dunno but whatever it was it's the result of the titantic battle thats raging in that direction between you're friend and Cooker. Look *He points* even the clouds themselves have manifested to reflect their fighting spirit, an old warrior from this town used to always say that when storms raged it was because of the fighting spirits of two great warriors. A bunch of superstition if you ask me but you never know for sure. Charlie: You don't say. *Takes a sip* Tell me about this old warrior and his ways. Tetsuo: Very well it all began a very long time ago... Cooker: *Panting* Did you think... You could really.... Beat me.... With a big hunk of dirt? Takeshi: Maybe not, but this fight has been mine from the start. Cooker: What?! Takeshi: This fight has always been mine, a person like you can't beat me. Cooker: Well if you can beat me so easily come fourth then! Takeshi: Very well... Cooker: Damn it! I can't be beaten here! My ambition depends on it! Takeshi: As I said this battle was mine from the start, you're strong damn strong you're probably the strongest person I have ever faced but you're swings were too wild and you're blades too dull. Speed, precision, sharpness, endurability and temperance these aspects are all just as important if not more important to a swordsman than strength. Until you can find a master, a teacher, to teach you these aspects you will never match me. Cooker: SCREW YOU! I don't need anyone! Takeshi: I told you can't beat me you are just... Cooker: I can beat you no matter what state I'm in! Takeshi: DON'T INTERUPT ME! Takeshi: You are filled with nothing but anger and loathing and someone like that will never beat me! If you focus on nothing but anger then you will never be able to beat me and never will you be able to reach you're ambition! Cooker: The what am I to do?! Takeshi: First tell me you're ambiton! And then I will answer you! Cooker: I.... I want to... I want to one day go back to Elbaf and show them just how mighty I am! Takeshi: Very well then! *He extends his hand* Join me! Cooker: What? Takeshi: Become my nakama and join my crew! I've heard you're a good cook and we're in need of one, plus you're not a bad guy I know it. We will give you some company and I will teach you swordsmanship myself! What do ya say? My captain won't mind at all, become our nakama and I will teach you everything you need to do for you're ambition! Ochi: Oh so you're interested in my cooking? Very well I shall have to teach you how to cook then... Do not worry my friend, you will find new friends. Noone is alone forever.... Cooker: *With tears in his eyes, he holds his hand to his face in an attempt to wipe them away but the tears keep on coming* I'll get my things. Charlie: It's ok Old Geezer, Takeshi won. Takeshi: That I did, and it gets better Cooker will never again terrorise this town. Bella: And why's that? Takeshi: Because he's going to join our crew. Bella and Tetsuo: WHAT?! Charlie: You know as captain it's my job to get new recruits. Takeshi: I know but, Cooker is a strong fighter and a good cook. Plus he isn't acctually a bad guy. Charlie: I shall be the judge of that! Charlie: Haha that settles it welcome aboard! Right then to the ship! Bella: Isn't there a problem with the ship if Cooker is part of the crew.... Bella: *With an anime tear drop on the back of his head* Baka.... Tetsuo: Do you mind if I come along? I wish to say farewell the those who saved my town. Bella: Yeah about that... Bella: You just realised the problem haven't you... Charlie: Yep.... Bella: We need to buy an acctual ship. Charlie: Ok but we are not leaving this dinghy behind! Bella: Why not its just dead weight. Charlie: It's the last thing Shanks gave me and Takeshi along with out devil fruits thats why. Bella: Fine then, Takeshi do you mind carrying it? Cooker: I'll carry it. Takeshi: Not with that cut Cooker, I'll carry it. Charlie: Hey Old Geezer, do you know where we could buy a new ship? Tetsuo: Yep over in Rosary Gate, the city beyond my town. Charlie: Right I guess we'll head there then. Tetsuo: I'll come with you, I need to go see my family anyways. Tetsuo: Right before we head of theres something I must do.... Charlie: Huh? Why'd you do that Old Geezer? Tetsuo: Now that Cooker has found a new home, noone needs to stay in this town any more. I'll be taking up permanent residence with the rest of my family in the city. Tetsuo: This building could of completley fallen apart years ago, I think it only stayed standing to see Cooker finnaly find some peace. And so Cooker I want you to have this sign, so that the spirit of this place will always be with you. Cooker: *Taking the sign* Thank you Tetsuo. Charlie: Alright then! Lets head off and go get us a ship!
