Kid and Killer

Rewind to a little earlier, Sirius Pirates landed on this coastline, and two people arrived.

"Hey, Kid, isn't it about time you gave up?"

The man who spoke had long, flowing blond hair and wore a mask with several small holes in it—a blue and white striped mask.

He wore metal wrist guards on both hands, with the sickle he had put away attached to them.

"How could Druyaneika like a brat like you?"

"These are the words I want to say to you, Killer,"

The boy with spiky hair and goggles on his forehead said coldly, "Druyaneika certainly hates cowards like you even more."

"You bastard, do you want to fight?" Killer roared in anger.

"Come at me and see what happens!"

Kid grinned, looking rather eager to try.

The atmosphere between the two instantly became tense, as if they were about to fight.

Then.

"Pfft, hahaha!"

Kid burst into laughter again. "That's incredibly stupid. Hey, Killer, are you really going to fight me over something this stupid?"

"You actually called the war for Druyaneika a stupid thing, Kid, you bastard!"

Killer chuckled and said, "Isn't this a guaranteed loss?"

"It's still too early to say who will win or lose!"

Kid turned his head and looked around the coast. "Just you wait, Killer. I'm about to make the best gift for Druyaneika and steal her heart! You'll be crying after you see us kiss."

"Gift?"

Killer pointed to the coastline and said, "With this scrap metal? Do you mean to rip her heart out with these things?"

Iron Island has an astonishing steel production rate. Although the yield rate is high, it is not without defects.

These defective products generally piled up around the island, and over time, they formed mountains of steel.

There's relatively little scrap metal left on this coast.

"Hmph, just you wait and see!"

Kid took a few steps forward, then took a deep breath. "Drink!"

He shouted.

Then, his ability activated, and purple sparks of electricity crackled from his hands.

He is Paramecia Devil Fruit User with the ability to freely manipulate magnetic fields and forces.

The surrounding scrap metal instantly began to tremble.

But the next second, Kid's eyes widened in astonishment.

"What's wrong, Kid?"

As a childhood friend, Killer noticed that something was wrong with Kid.

"Hey! Killer! There's something in the water!"

Kid stopped his powers, quickly walked to the shore, and looked down in astonishment, as if trying to see through the surface of the sea to see what was hidden beneath it.

"Things? What things?" Killer followed.

"A colossal steel behemoth! What it is is unclear, but it's floating in the water!"

Kid was very excited.

Normal steel, of course, cannot float in water.

"Could it be a ship?" Killer guessed.

"We'll know once we bring it up and take a look!"

Kid activated his ability; the magnetic field penetrated the seawater and directly detected the enormous creature in the ocean. "Get up here!"

The magnetic force is operating at full power!

Kid wanted to pull that thing out of the sea.

But no matter how hard he pulled, the huge thing only trembled slightly and showed no sign of rising.

"Are you resisting Lao Tzu?"

Kid, however, was instead spurred on by his competitive spirit. "Let's see! I'll see if I can drag you up here!!"

He's locked in a battle with this thing in the sea!

As for the gift, what gift?

Kid continued to use his abilities, engaging in a tug-of-war with the thing in the sea.

"Kid, are you here to fish?"

Killer sat listlessly on the shore, watching Kid struggle with something in the sea, his face flushed. This scene had been going on for quite some time. "Why don't I dive down and see what it is?" he thought.

"No, Killer! You stay put and watch!"

But Kid continued chewing resolutely, shouting, "This is a battle between me and it! You're not allowed to interfere!"

That's enough.

Killer felt a headache coming on.

Perhaps Kid's persistence finally paid off; finally, something beneath the sea began to move.

"Hahaha! I won in the end!!"

Kid laughed triumphantly, "You better get up here, you bastard!"

The sea suddenly became extremely turbulent, and dark shadows began to emerge, quickly splashing water outwards.

Whoosh!

Accompanied by surging waves, the enormous creature floated on the sea surface.

"Is it really a ship?"

Kid was utterly astonished. "A steel ship that's submerged in water?"

"I meant it was a ship,"

Killer was somewhat smug, but the more he examined the ship that had emerged from the seabed, the more uneasy he felt. He nudged Kid, "Hey, Kid, don't you think this ship looks familiar? I feel like I've seen it somewhere before."

Now that you mention it, it does seem to be true.

Kid stroked his chin, trying hard to recall.

"I am the Sirius, do you know that?"

"The Sirius! Oh! Yes, yes, that's the Sirius!"

Kid suddenly felt enlightened and laughed, "Isn't that the Sirius, the Sirius of the Sirius Pirates? No wonder it looked so familiar."

"Wait, Kid!"

Killer's voice became shrill, "Sirius!!"

Kid was immediately taken aback, "The Sirius Pirates?"

He suddenly looked up at the deck of the Sirius, but there was no one there. He naturally assumed that the people inside the ship had spoken earlier, "You are, the Sirius Pirates!!"

That's right.

Black said, a member of the Sirius Pirates who remained on the ship.

"The Pirate Emperor has actually appeared in the South Blue?" Killer was greatly astonished.

What a coincidence!

"Emperor--Hahahahaha!!"

Kid's astonishment faded, replaced by a flushed excitement. He waved his hands, drawing the surrounding steel towards him, which coiled around his arms and coalesced into two steel arms almost as large as himself.

"If I defeat you all, it proves I have the strength to become the Pirate King, right?!"

"Kid... I just can't do anything with you."

Killer shook his head, then the scythes on his wrist guards snapped off. He laughed, "Fine, fine, fine, fine! Let's see what this so-called Pirate Emperor is all about!"

"Should we fight? I'm not very good at fighting right now."

Black said, "But it's alright, the people who can fight you are back."

"Hey, you guys over there, what are you trying to do to my partner?"

Kid and his companion turned around and saw two figures rapidly approaching. The figures' appearances changed quickly, eventually transforming into the images they saw on the wanted poster.

"If you want to fight, I'm happy to oblige."

Kid's lips curled into a high smile.

"Black Wolf, Sirius!!"
