《Two Doors》Chapter 6. Pirates are dicks
Advertisement
Eric steps onto the sandy beach. He’s about to walk down the beachside when an idea strikes him. Why don’t I just fly? And so Eric thinks about a jet-pack forming on his back. After it forms Eric thinks about it starting. He shoots into the sky as fast as a jet. The G-force almost makes him pass out.
Eric turns the thrusters down a bit, and after he stops screaming, enjoys flying. The warm breeze of a tropical island. In the distance, he can see buildings. It's a coastal town. He lands a few miles outside of the small town and starts walking over. He doesn't want to scare anybody.
On the way there he tries to make his armor look like clothing. The armor can’t make a shirt and pants or anything so he just makes it a trench coat. He also figured out that he could make a hat so he makes a cowboy hat to finish his look.
Just when he finishes the details he makes it to the front of the town. He passes by a hotel and a bar. He stops in front of the bar and looks at the billboard in front of it. A bunch of wanted posters are tacked to the board. This reminds him of something but he doesn't know what.
After a second of thinking Eric just shrugs and walks into the bar. The only patrons in the bar are In one corner. There's a table full of rowdy-looking men laughing and drinking. They all have swords and a few have flintlock pistols.
“That's gotta be a coincidence. Wanted pirate posters, swords, and flintlocks. There's no way in hell,” Eric thinks.
Eric sits on a stool at the bar and an older-looking man with no hair and a bit of a gut walks up to him.

“What can I getcha?” The man asks Eric.
Eric hasn’t been to a bar before, let alone order alcohol.
“Um, a beer?” Eric tells the man.
“Comin’ right up” The bartender smiles and starts pouring his drink.
“Oy, we need more liquor over here!” One pirate shouts at a barmaid.
She grabs a few bottles of alcohol and walks over to their table.
“Here ya are,” says the bartender as he sets Eric’s drink down.
Out of the corner of his eye, Eric can see one pirate grab the barmaid’s ass. She slaps him in the face and the pirate gets up and punches her in the stomach. The bartender yells and runs over to the barmaid.
The pirate pulls his gun out and points it at the bartender and says
“If you don’t get on your knees and beg for your daughter's life, your both gonna die,” the pirate sneers.
The rest of the pirates laugh hysterically like it's the funniest thing they’ve ever seen.
Pirate POV-
“Your stupid bitch of a daughter is gonna get you killed, old man,” I laugh in their faces. “Your not very convincing, be-” I'm interrupted by a face I haven’t seen before.
“God, this is so cliche.” The man groans as he gets up.
“Who the fuck do you think you are?” I raise my gun at the stupid fuck who dares speak against a proud seashell pirate.
Before I can pull the trigger the man teleports in front of me. I pull the trigger and the man smiles as he leans his head down and the bullet bounces off of his hat. The man takes the gun from my hand and crushes it. Half of my crewmates run while the other half freeze in fear.

The man's arm turns into a huge dark silver blade.
“He’s a devil fruit user!” I hear one of my crewmates scream.
“Devil fruit? Holy shit, I’m actually in One Piece!” The man talks to himself. I grab my sword and swing it at the distracted man.
“Your dead!” I laugh.
The man looks up and his arm disappears. I fall over. Wait not all of me. My body stays standing. Just my head is falling.
3rd person-
I’d thought I’d feel bad after killing somebody. Maybe it’s because he’s a scumbag killer? Eric thinks to himself. “What have you done?! They’re gonna come back and kill us all!” The old man screams at Eric. Eric shoves him over a table. “Don’t yell at me” Eric tells the old man while he leaves.
In front of the bar is a group of thirty pirates. “That's him!” One pirate tells a big man with a cool hat. It looks like the one Jack Sparrow had. Eric wants it. The pirate captain pulls out two scimitars. “Get’em boys!” The captain screams as he lunges for Eric. The rest of the pirates scream and jump at Eric.
Eric covers himself in blades and puts thrusters on his arms. He activates his thrusters and starts spinning. All the nearest pirates get shredded. Eric shoots forward directly into the captain shredding him. Eric had purposely avoided the hat.
Only ten pirates are left alive. Eric quickly kills all of them except the second-best dressed pirate. “Your captain is dead. Your crew-mates are dead. You're going to die too… unless you show me where you stashed your beli” Eric threatens the last survivor.
The pirate takes Eric back to their base in the jungle and opens a false floor. There are several treasure chests of beli in the hole. “Is there a marine base on this island?” Eric asks the pirate. “Yes sir, there is. It's at the docks at the front of the town.” Eric just nods, and while counting the beli, slices the pirate into pieces.
Eric throws most of the beli into his dimensional storage holding onto a few thousand. He doesn't remember how much stuff costs. He walks back into town and finds a few marines questioning the bartender.
Eric approaches the two. “-then he just walked outside and I could hear screaming- That's him!” The bartender points at Eric. The marine pulls his sword out and points it at Eric. “Halt! You’re under arrest” The marine pulls out handcuffs.
“Bruh,”

The Infinite Labyrinth
(Story complete - Book 1 "Shanghaied", 2 "Shortcuts", 3 "Secrets" and 4 "Sanctions") It is the 19th century, and war smoulders between England and France. Any hope for a quick end to Napoleon's rampage across Europe ended when the Great Gates opened in 1800. For a fortunate few, the strange world of the Infinite Labyrinth offers opportunities, strange descriptors popping in their minds, informing them of growth, and status beyond that of a mere mortal. The materials and power crystal they bring back foster a new age, both military and civilian. Aether-powered Skyships prowl the skies, as all the great nations blessed by the Gates try to turn the blessings of the Labyrinth into immediate advantages. But for Jonas, an apprentice leatherworker, his friend Ira, and so many Londoners, the fabled ones that walk the Labyrinth are distant heroes, seen from afar. They fell short when their Potential was measured, and they fill their mundane lives with distant dreams. One man wants to break the stalemate. The Tyrant of the Dominion of France, Napoleon Bonaparte, has a plan. Eighteen years after the world changed, he will force it to change again. And when civilians are caught in the fallout, the unthinkable happens. Six people, unqualified, forbidden to ever enter the Labyrinth, find themselves stranded in a distant zone, forcefully turned into Professionals. They know little of what that means, but they have to figure out the rules that are now their lot, for they have little hope to escape their predicament otherwise. They need to understand what the descriptors in their minds mean, what each of the strange piece of gear waiting in treasure chests behind terrible guardians can bring them. They have to become Professionals on their own and rejoin the Empire. They will figure out their new lives one way or another. But will there be an Empire waiting for them when the Gates re-open? Caught in a clash of empires and high tiers, they will do what little they can. They will step up and do their best. One way or another. The Infinite Labyrinth is a slice-of-life litRPG adventure set in a real historical setting. It's a hard, crunchy litrpg. Expect blue boxes everywhere, and the system itself is very mathy. It started life as a serial. I prepared some proper worldbuilding, with enough details and background for lots of different potential story arcs, but as I wrote, I realized the main story needs to have a definitive end. So, there are four books in total, for a bit under 1500 pages, plus additional side stories, and even maybe a sequel one day. The Gore tag was added as a precaution because there are a few scenes with some light gore.
