Chapter 7 -Promise!What is the Pirate King?
Kuro started to open his eyes.He only saw a classic roof and a colder(something to cool the room).Colder’s were developed around three years ago and are very used in summer and spring.He tried moving his body but he couldn’t feel them,instead pain could be felt.
“Are you okay,Kuro-kun?”
The doctor of the crew,Marasa for short Mara kindly and softly said.She was wearing a doctor’s uniform.”Your wounds haven’t still healed.You have been sleeping for one full week.If I hadn’t immediately interfered you probably would had died out there,and eaten by crows…”
Just that thought made him shiver and open his eyes.”One-chan aren’t you supposed to comfort me?”He laughed forcefully,trying to make the mood better.”Then I will have to let you rest.”She said but he immediately said,”Ah,can you call oji-san,Fukuro-san?”
She nodded.She opened the door and then left the room.After a few minutes,Fukuro with a few bandages in his body entered.They were just small injures but Mara was a good doctor so she still bandaged them.
“Are you okay,Kuro?”He said with a bit of regret in his eyes.”Don’t regret.”Kuro immediately said.”Eh?”Fukuro didn’t understand what he meant by that.”Don’t regret letting me enter the war.It was my choice.”Kuro may not be a smartass,but he was not stupid.He was far more matured that his age.
“Hahahah,here I am being critized by a child...But thanks…”Fukuro said after a small laugh.”By the way why did you call me?”He continued and Kuro replied.”I am actually interested in why did you become a pirate.”Fukuro was silent for a moment.

“Why did I become a pirate?There are many reasons,but the main one is to free.To be part of the free seas and oceans.”Kuro was also silent for a moment and then laughed.”Who is the most free person in the sea then?”Fukuro smiled at this question,”The Pirate KING.”Kuro muttered this title a hundred times and then smiled,”Then I will become the pirate king.”
“You?HAHAHAHA”Fukuro laughed loudly.Just how many people sailed to become the Pirate King.But from these millons of pirates none managed to become one!Even in the last five hundred years just two Pirate Kings appeared.Gol D.Roger and Monkey.D Luffy.
“If You think I can’t why don’t we make a promise or bet?”Kuro said with confidence.”Fine let’s make a promise.”And so they did…

Three weeks later.Today Fukuro’s crew and him would head to the New World or also called Gold World.Or to be exact they had already headed there.Kuro said goodbye to them and then started his training in the mountains.”HA!HA!”
He swung the sword several times.His power had risen a lot since three weeks ago.’The technique I used before...Lighting Dragon was it?Does that mean this sword uses Lighting?’But no matter how much he tried,he couldn’t do the same attack.It was like he did that unconciously.
“I have to try to remember the feeling I had the time I used it…”He muttered and tried to remember it.Once,twice,ten,twenty,thirty,fifty and finally at the 100th time he succeded.But it was slightly weaker than the previous one.”I DID IT!” he yelled in joy.
“RAAAOR!” The roar of a wild beast reached his ears.It was coming this way.He became ready to fight it,”Food…”He muttered.The wild beast finally appeared.It was a ten meters Wild Tiger with black lines over his body and the other parts were yellow.It was a boy.It had sharp teeth,claws and fangs.Saliva fell from his mouth,it probably hadn’t eaten in days.

“Come here little kitten.”Kuro smiled.The wild beast couldn’t hear anything as it was really hungry so it jumped and opened it’s claws ready to kill him in one attack.But unfortunately it had choosen the wrong prey to attack.
Kuro unsheathed his sword and thought,’This is the perfect target to try Lighting Dragon.’He took an attacking stance and swung the sword,”LIGHTING DRAGON!”From the skies a Lightning Dragon fell and electriced the poor wild beast to black matter.
“Not bad,not bad…” Kuro smiled and was confident in this result.It took him half a day to use the Lightning Dragon to the first time he used it.
Trying to get used to it,he repeated it another hundred times.He was confident that the Lightning Dragon now was 5% more powerful than before.But it wouldn’t be easy to rise it another 5% or 10% anymore.Each time he made it stronger each time it would become harder to use it.
He then took the corpse of the now without skin wild beast and after taking the blood out started to cook it.He easily managed to do that and then ate it.It took only twenty minutes to eat such a huge beast,and that was only because he wanted to enjoy such a delicious meat.
But later he tried to develop other techniques using the Lighting Dragon,like:Lighting Clad,Lightning Sword,Lightning Beast,Lightning Army and others.But he was curious why could he use lightning.He never ate the lightning Devil Fruit.And even if he did,he would at least remember it’s uses.
‘It is not like I care anyway!’Mazir scratched his head cheerfully and continued his training for the next years...

8 157The Girl from the Mountain
Alexandra Bedford is a weapon, a young woman with telekinetic powers capable of leveling entire cities, born to fight in the desolate remains of post-apocalyptic North America. There is only one problem: she may be losing control of her abilities. Sixteen years after a global pandemic devastated the earth’s population, the lines in the old United States have been drawn between the Cheyenne Directorate in Colorado and the New England Alliance on the East Coast. The Directorate, of which Alexandra is a part, is a small but powerful organization dedicated to returning the country to its former glory. However, when a diplomatic mission to the New England Alliance goes wrong, Alexandra finds herself at the center of a bloody civil war. Battles are fought on the old highways and in dilapidated towns and once-great cities. And as the conflict escalates, all of North America faces the threat of being burnt away by nuclear fire. Against this backdrop of war, Alexandra tries to uncover the long-hidden secrets behind the plague, her abilities, and the two men fighting to decide the fate of the United States - Henry Bedford, Alexandra's father and leader of the Directorate, and John Martin, the mysterious figure at the heart of the New England Alliance who may hold the key to everything she seeks. None of this will matter, however, unless Alexandra can prevent the power growing inside her from taking over and consuming the very world she is fighting to save. Author's Notes: I appreciate you taking a look at my novel, The Girl from the Mountain. If you're a fan of post-apocalyptic fiction, military thrillers, and/or cosmic horror, I think you'll enjoy this story. I completed the novel's first draft back in 2011 and made significant changes in 2016. Since then, I've more-or-less sat on the manuscript while working on other projects. Thanks to a bit of prodding, I've decided to send this story out into the wild with some touch-ups and additional revisions. I welcome any comments or criticisms, and I hope you enjoy The Girl from the Mountain!

What would you wish for? What is your truest desire, Saelina?" "Power." The answer came without deliberation or pause. "The power to never starve, to stand on my own, without someone holding me up. To reject whomever I want, whenever I want." Tahlisa's gaze became more intent and she moved close to her rescuer. "Say you had that power, right here, right now. What would you do?" Saelina smiled cruelly. It was a wholly new expression, yet it somehow made her features terrifyingly beautiful, Tahlisa realized. "I'd burn down the Tower and force the Harrows to watch as their home, their legacy turns to ash."
