《The Legend Of One Piece: A Journey Through Divided Seas》4: The Town Circle's Statue
Advertisement
Eloia's trip down memory lane is interrupted when she senses something approaching her from the side. She instinctively tosses her head back as the sharp end of a needle manages to tickle past the end of her chin. Dozens more fly towards her and she manages to Instinctively dodge them. She scans around the area looking for the attacker as she senses an attack coming from behind her.
"More punch!" A voice approaches her from behind.
She turns around and sees a fist increasing bigger in size and speed moving towards her. It lands a hit on her, striking her through the statue. She lays on the ground, clenching onto the sharp pain throbbing in her rib cage. The fountain has been completely destroyed and she is soaking wet.
Eloia looks up in realization at another attack coming to strike her. This time, she's able to see the person clearly coming from above her. In amazement his whole body increases in size. He looks like a giant. He slams his body on top of Eloia crashing right into her, giving her no time to run. The ground beneath them caves in and Eloia is no longer in view. The town circle's center is completely destroyed.
"Brother Michael, I think you may have done too much." A silhouette in the distance approaches in laughter. She twirls a pin around her finger.
"I finally got the annoying roach, I think boss will be happy, my sister Catherine!" He exclaims.
He then pauses, something has startled him.
"Is everything alright, Brother..?"
Catherine approaches them closer and sees a painful look on his face. His body then starts to hover over the ground and Eloia is back in view completely lifting him up by both hands. She tosses him to the side and his huge body lands into a building completely destroying it. Defeated in the wreckage he returns back to his normal size.

Eloia pats herself off and shrugs off the shock of the attack.
Great, now i'm all wet. Eloia takes off her jacket soaking and tosses it to the side.
"How.. did you!.." The lady looks at her alarmed.
Eloia cracks her neck up and down and waits for Catherines next move. A serious expression is seen upon her face.
Catherine lifts her arm and looks at the watch on her wrist, her facial expression shifts into a sly smile.
"It should be anytime now.."
Eloia begins to feel nauseous. She starts stumbling as everything around her begins to darken and finally, her body loses strength and she passes out onto the floor. Dozens of men in suits approach to collect her.
"I only needed one of these to graze her skin, her fate was sealed soon after. Well, at least now Boss will be happy." She gives a cheerful smile.
"Take her to Captain Jack, he will know what to do with her. The rest of you come collect my twin brother, he's heavily injured." She says.
Cloud finally arrives at the town circle.
Well, no mistake, she was here. He instantly notices her jacket lying on the ground and sits his hands at the top of his hips examining the mess that surrounded him. His attention shifts towards the left overs of the statue.
Shanks, huh? He smiles. The bust of the statue was still intact while the fountain that surrounded it was completely destroyed. Something in the bust of the statue catches his eye as he moves closer and sits down to examine it.
"Not all treasure is silver and gold.." Were the words engraved at the very bottom of the bust. Curious, Cloud begins to knock around on the bust of the statue as suddenly a hollow sound returns from one side. He makes a fist and punches through shattering the bust completely. A smile grows on his face as he stares at the straw hat that sits in front of him.

Fallout: Vault X
An original novel set in the Fallout universe, written to be accessible to all, featuring unique people and places. Vol.II. out now Fallout: Vault X tells the story of John. A vault dweller, who spent every day of his twenty five years underground. Like his father, and his father before him. Proud to live in the last remaining bastion of humanity, all that survived The Great War of the atomic age. Hidden deep below the surface of the earth, toiling under brutal conditions. Year after year, decade upon decade. All to expand into the natural cave system the Vault occupied, building for the future. However, John knew what his forefathers did not, that everything he’d been taught was a lie. After finishing school at the age of ten, John received his standard issue pipboy. An arm mounted personal computer, worn by everyone in the Vault. Used to coordinate the relentless pace of expansion, needed to work as an apprentice. To learn the craft that would be his life’s work. A noble calling to ensure a future for all that remained of the human race. A quirk of fate saw John equipped not with the crude, clunky, pipboy model his father wore. That almost everyone around him wore. His looked smaller, sleeker, finished in a jet black sheen. And capable of doing far more than its drab counterparts. The world above had been ravaged by atomic flames, yet life clung to its bones. The Red Valley fared better than most in the century since the bombs fell. The clean water and rich soil protected by rolling hills. All spared from direct strikes, for the most part. Life survived here. Trees spawned from charred ground, misshapen, green leaves turned red. Along with simple crops, grown wild at first, then cultivated by the survivors. The scavengers of the old world were inventive, hardy people. All determined to rebuild in the ruins of a world they never knew. In the decades that passed settlements emerged. They grew, spreading along the valley floor. Reclaiming the pre-war remnants of the once industrialised heartland. Salvaging the robotic wonders of a bygone age to build their walls and work their fields. To protect them in the dark of the wasteland. But such things are uncommon in this world, and the rarer something is, the greater its value. And the worth of pre-war technology had not gone unnoticed. The last, real, power in this world rested in the mechanised hands of The Brotherhood of Steel. Forged from the mortally wounded old world military. The Brotherhood used its access to the weapons made for a conflict no one won to strike out into the wastes. Men and women were equipped with advanced armour, aerial transportation, high grade weaponry. Accompanied by the training, strength, and will, to put them to use. They established chapters and set up outputs far and wide. All dedicated to a single purpose. To ensure the technology left abandoned by its long dead creators didn’t fall into the wrong hands. Namely, any hands that were not their own. This is the world John escaped into. A place of horrors brought forth from atomic fire. A place where survival meant battling against the darkness. Fighting a war each day to get to the next. And war...war never changes

How a lame loner's life is not like normal dudes
Are you a loner? If you ask me I have to say yes. And it has nothing to do with the plot. The summary is going to be messy so please bear. *The Summary* Join the adventure of our MC Akito. Who's a Japanese 2nd Year High School student going throuh with an unusual problem. And that is the writer has not casted him in a good narrative story. The MC is going through serious depression and anxiety due to this and he doesn't even know what's going to happen with him in the near future. And of course this won't be narrated in the story because the author is a lazy hobo who has no will to write. *Lame unimportant information* *Please skip this part* Its a story of a character who happens to be the character of a writer. And that writer by the way is the character of another story. Basically its a story of that guy. And here the main character happens to be me (the main character here. I'm narrating the story for your information.). And its kind of sad that its a comedy rather than gruesome action fantasy or virtual reality story. But its an uncommon story which you'll never hear about or will never see be famous for some lame reasons. By the way the author doesn't even have any aspiration to imrpove his grammar so whack him for his terrible excuse of grammar. And also be prepared to wash your eyes with bleach after reading it. Bleach is gonna clean your eyes ;)
