Chapter 13: His True Colors (1/2)
(Omega)"As you can see below, I've created Mawgona in Xenoverse 2, so you can have a better visual representation of him."
Along the way to the first island, Pepin decided that it would be only be appropriate to cook up that Elephant Tuna to celebrate. This one dish was more than enough to prove his ability as a chef, since every single piece of the fish was made edible by him, even the bones were good enough to eat.
(Zant)"Damn, that was one of the best things I've eaten in years!"
(Pepin)"My pops wasn't no slack in the kitchen, taught me everything I know! He cooked for the King of Fishman Island once."
(Nix)"King Neptune?! How the hell did he do that?!"
(Pepin)"Don't know, he didn't say. Guess he was too excited to give me details about it. But yeah, he got the strongest Sea King he could find, and whipped up a did big enough to feed the whole Royal Family!"
(Terry)"Ain't a fish eatin' other fish like...cannibalism?"
(Barry)"There's plenty of me fish that eat smaller ones, you know. Pepin's a shark, they eat fish, and it's a proven fact that an octopus will eat their own kind."
(Terry)"Oh...that's gross."
On the bow of the ship, Mawgona looked out to see using his Zai-Zai Scope, an ability he uses by turning his eye into metal, and elongating it like a telescope. After awhile, he spotted an island with cacti as large as mountains. According to the list of islands in the Grand Line he was given by the old man, this one was known as Whiskey Peak.
When they landed, the townspeople seemed to have prepared a welcoming party for them.
(Bui Bui)"Huh? Why are they so happy to see us?"
(Mawgona)"Don't know, but I got a bad feeling about this."
Once they got off the ship, the crew was met with a tall man with a saxophone.
(Igarappoi)"Welcome, my name is Igarappoi. You may be shocked by this, but in Whiskey Peak, Pirates are more than welcome!"
(Zant)"Huh, that's pretty weird, but saves us trouble."
Even if they weren't welcome, they would have no choice but to be on the island for a certain period of time. You see, the Log Pose needs to "record" the island's magnetic charge before it can point to the next one. This process can take up to a few hours, or even a few days.
(Igarappoi)"We've prepared a banquet for you, so please enjoy your stay in our lovely town!"
Everyone was up for that idea, but Mawgona still had that feeling. These people were too happy to see a group of Pirates, especially in the Grand Line, being known as the graveyard for such groups. He decided that he would play along, and do whatever was necessary if his suspicions were to be true.
Later that night, the whole town was in excitement over just about everything the Dark Souls were doing. For example, the drinking contest.
(Announcer)"Would you believe it?! This guy out-drank 30 people!"
(Zant)"This a joke or something? This is my 49th drink!"
For some odd reason, Zant and Mawgona have very, VERY high alcohol tolerances. They could drink a lakes worth of booze, and walk away only a little bit tipsy, can't even get a hangover the next day.
(Announcer)"And just look at those imps! They've eaten enough food for 50 people!"
All of the Shadow Pirates were so full, that their tiny body's were now huge spheres with limbs.
(Like that.)
(Barry)"Ugh...I haven't eaten this much since the raid on that huge fishing boat. It was fine at first, but then we all got sick the next day..."
(Terry)"It was SO worth it!"
As for Mawgona, he had spent most of the party gambling. He was surprisingly good at it, winning up to 50,000 Beli. He's currently playing poker against some men dressed up in cowboy attire.
(Cowboy)"Come on, Mawgona's, quit stalling. What do ya got?"
(Mawgona)"...Hehe, read 'em and weep, fellas!"
The Pirate wasn't even that good of a gambler, yet he seemed to be unbeatable. He looked like he was enjoying himself, but in reality, he's waiting for the inevitable. And when that happens, he will not hesitate to lay waste to anyone who attacks.
(Midnight)
(Igarappoi)"Oh, how beautiful the cactus rocks are. As they dance again, beneath the moon light."
(???)"Quite the poet you are, Mr. 8."
He turned back to see two people on the rooftop, a girl with blue hair, and a man with 9's tattooed on his face.
(Miss Wednesday)
(Mr. 9)
(Igarappoi)"Oh, it's just you two. That group you told us about are all asleep at the moment."
Then, another woman came entered the scene. Miss Monday, a...manly woman, to be specific.
(Miss Monday)"That bunch sure knows how to drink, and I was drinking sparkling barley tea!"
(Igarappoi)"Still, it's better to have them unconscious than to fight them head on, even for such a small crew they're dangerous! But putting that aside, let's proceed to their ship and take its treasure, then-"
(???)"Tell me, how would you accomplish that task, if you're all dead?"
Standing atop the highest building was, as you guessed, Mawgona.
(Igarappoi)"Mawgona?! How did you know what we we're planning?"
(Mawgona)"Come on now, this entire island is enough of a dead giveaway. There's no way in hell that even one island would be a safe haven for any Pirate. I don't know much about your organization, but the Baroque Works don't seem to be all that competent."
(Mr. 9)"H-Huh?! But how-"
(Mawgona)"I was told about your group, by a friend in a high place. Oh, here's a few little facts before we begin the slaughter. When I met Crocus and Laboon, I could sense that you and that girl where watching us, and you must've known who I was at least and ran away. Also, I noticed your 'Cacti Rocks', strange that the 'needles' are actually hundreds of tombstones, isn't it? Wonder how that happened..."
At this point, all 100 of the villagers, who were actually Bounty Hunters gathered around, swords and guns readied.
(Igarappoi)"What matters now...is that another will be added tonight! Kill hi-"
Before anyone knew it, Dark Soul was suddenly gone. They all looked around until they noticed the pink skinned man in the middle of the group. Five gunmen fired at him, but Mawgona disappeared again, causing all five to take the bullets, and they fell to the ground, dead.
(Igarappoi)"This man is fast! He hasn't even attacked, yet five men are already-"
His sentence was cut off my a slender metal finger stabbing right through his curly hair, only a centimeter away from his head. If he had the nerve to turn around, he would see that Mawgona's eyes had this faint red glow to them.
(Mawgona)"I'll put this into words you will understand. I am NOT a good person, not even close. I've killed a thousand men without a second thought, and I've accepted the title of Murderer. Not even just rival Pirate crews, even the peacekeepers. I'll kill men who're just trying to provide for their families. I'll kill women who have children, and I'll even kill them too if need be."
(Igarappoi)"Ch-Children aren't even safe...? You, you couldn't!"
(Mawgona)"Think I haven't done it already? This world is unimaginably cruel, and no matter what, I only have one way of living in it; If I need to, I WILL kill you."
One man ran up and stabbed Mawgona through the chest, but before he could celebrate, it was apparent that it was just a metal doppelganger.
(Igarappoi)"He...he can hurt people, without even being near them? Just what kind of Demon is he?!"
As the Bounty Hunters searched the area, Mawgona hid near the door of an empty house.
(Mawgona)"I can't believe I have to do this again, hopefully no one else wakes up to see me like this."
(Cowboy)"Yee-Haw! I found him, boys!"
Mawgona rolled into the house to dodge the gunfire
(Bounty Hunter)"He's in there! Don't let him escape!"
They positioned themselves in the doorway and windows, then immediately opened fire. Thinking fast, Mawgona Armament Haki on a table, and used that to by some time for his escape. Using the few seconds reload time, he ran straight out the door.
(Bounty Hunter)"There he is-"
Suddenly, their bodies began to contort, and bulge out, like they were filling up with gas.
(Bounty Hunter)"Wh-What the?! What's happening to my body!"
One by one, the men were reduced to headless corpses.
(Bounty Hunter)"Oh my God! H-He somehow blew 'em up!"
(Bounty Hunter)"Forget them, he's climbing into the roof!"
A man fired a bazooka at the Dark Soul, who dodged it by a hair. Miss Monday, using her incredible strength, threw a large barrel at the Pirate. Seeing three men running at him, he turned his fingers into blades and cut the barrel in three, knocking the mercenaries out cold.
(Mawgona)"Truly a waste of good drink."
He then slapped a blade it off a little boy's hands, and a nun ran over to protect him. That is, until a smoke cloud shot out of her cross necklace.
(Nun)"God's Merciful Blinding!"
Before the two could attack, Mawgona went behind them and stabbed the nun through the eye, and the boy through his liver.
(Igarappoi)"He wasn't kidding, he IS willing to kill even women and children! H-He's a monster in the form of man!"
Even from a distance, Mr. 8 could see a small grin form at the corners of Mawgona's mouth, and it looked like his eyes were glowing brighter, could he be...enjoying this slaughter? 5 women jumped from the taller buildings, weapons in hand. But to their horror, the last thing they ever saw was a giant metal plate with spikes on the top.
(Mawgona)"...Heh, hehehe, didn't know it could rain red..."
(Mawgona)"What am I doing?! Get a hold of yourself, Mawgona! If I don't calm down, I may end up killing my...no, that CAN'T happen again! I won't let it!"
Miss Monday attempted to hit Mawgona with a ladder, but he caught her by the face and began to sink his sharp metallic fingers into her head. Any more pressure will shred her brain apart, but before it could reach that point, Mawgona finally regained composure and threw her to the other side of town.
(Mawgona)"I'm begging you to give up! The body count is too high as it is!"
(Bounty Hunter)"He...he took out Miss Monday, without any trouble!"
(Igarappoi)"We have no choice, but to take him out ourselves!"
