Chapter 0: Escape From Loguetown, To The East Blue We Go

Task Description:

Loguetown was only the start of his ventures. He is now planning to be a pirate, to join a crew. He was hoping he can do all of his plans immediately, that nothing would go on his way. He had just ate at one small bar at Loguetown where he got in trouble with one of the drunk men inside, how did he get there you may ask? Well.. He stowed away in a merchants ship. It goes like this.





Hexller was stranded at an island before he ever reached Loguetown. During one day on the island, Hexller decided to leave for once and he made a small makeshift raft. Two days after he started sailing, he saw a large merchants sailing at the sea, he then got his raft closer at the ship and slowly climbed it and sneaked inside it. He hid inside one of the storage rooms of the ship for three days eating the food stocked inside it to live. Until one day the ship docked at Loguetown. And that is how it goes.





Hexller finished his food and now stood up in a jolt. Some of the men around the bar are glaring angrily at Hexller after he beaten up one of the men inside. He looked around the area to see them all glaring at him. Hexller thought that his plans might have to wait for later, something is about to happen. Hexller burped loudly as he stood. Hexller stretched and yawned then waved at the bartender who was busy serving the drunk girl some more liquor.

Hexller: Ahhhh! It feels good to eat! Although it's only one plate. I can eat more later but now I have to go. Thanks for the free meal sir, I have to go now!

Bartender: Sure lad! Have a nice day!

Hexller walked towards the door of the bar. After Hexller exited the place, some of the men inside the bar followed him out, all with an angry glare at him. Hexller stretched once more and yawned after exiting the bar.

Hexller: It feels good to be back.

Hexller grinned as he walked slowly. The men behind him are slowly following.

Claire was having a break from her road,to visit the famous Loguetown.Her week was getting worser and worser every day.But she finally passed into the east blue.From here,she was going to make her way to the sabaody archipalego.Even she didnt know how to do it but even with her mediocre navigating skills,she trusted herself.The same pirate crew was trying to ruin Claire's life again and again.Yesterday,they took Claire's lucky charm given by her father.She landed on the shores of Loguetown.After Claire landed,she noticed that she needed some sake to forget all of this and get drunk.Also she noticed that she was out of beli.A idea came into her mind,and she asked the citizens if there was a casino.After learning the casino's location,Claire quickly ran into there.After few minutes full of whining and yelling,Claire came out from casino with tons of beli,thanks to her devil fruit.She entered the bar,and immediately she ordered a big bottle of sake.She gave the bartender a huge sack of beli.''Keep the drink coming,pal.'' she said.After 15 bottles of sake,Claire was finally drunk.She was ordering again and again,like she wanted to end her life by killing her liver.After,she noticed that a blue haired boy beated a few pirates.He said something at the bartender and left.Claire understanded quickly that the boy was in trouble.Cause of her drunkness she choose to helped him and ran after the bandits as she yelled at the bartender ''Keep the change!''

Hexller stopped after a few steps from the front of the bar's door. He leaned back to the group of ten pirates on his back.

Hexller: You know I know you guys are following me. Don't you?

Pirate Bandit: Hey kid, do you know who you just punched back there in the bar!? That's our crewmate!

Pirate Bandit: Yeah! Nextime you punch someone make sure you know the consequences.

A pirate spat at Hexller's left cheek. Hexller turned around and wiped this face. He grinned at the pirates who was laughing at him.

Pirate Bandit: What are you smiling at?!

The pirate swung a punch at Hexller's face which had hit him in the left cheek. Hexller wiped his cheek which had been punched by the pirate. Hexller is now set to fight. Hexller kicked the pirate who punched him at the chin which sent the pirate flying, falling down right behind the rest of the group of pirates. The crowd of citizens have cleared from the area.

Pirate Bandit: You dared to to that!? Now you get to face us!

Hexller: Tch... Can't that wait? I currently need to go to North Blue and you see, I don't have much time.

The pirates are slowly closing in at Hexller. Some other men joined from the crowd, which seems like they come from the same group of pirates. Hexller looked around and saw a girl rushing towards them. Who could this girl possibly be?

Claire stopped after one pirate spitted on the cheek of the blue haired guy.She tought that it would be interesting to see that guy's power.Pirates and him had a little argument,then blue guy kicked a pirate to the air.Claire got really impressed by his power.But other pirates started to go at him,and Claire decided to finally introduce herself.Claire rushed at the pirates,and taked out this sheath and started to spin between the pirates,usin her sheath like a baseball bat and knocking a few of them out.''WHO THE HECK ARE YOU?!?!'' pirate yelled.''Just a drunk girl,passing by.'' Claire answered.''Attack to that slut!!'' another pirate yelled.Claire suddenly taked her katana out of her sheath and stabbed the heart of the pirate that called her a slut.Suddenly pirates started to shoot Claire.But Claire managed to avoid all the bullets and rushed to a pirate and taked his shotgun then shot his face.
''Manage to kill her you dumbasses!'' pirates was yelling and trying to kill Claire at the same time.But Claire noticed that a pirate was going to trick Claire and going to kill the blue haired guy.Pirate threw his shotgun to the air and jumped into blue haired guys with taking his sword in the air.Claire turned her katana to a huge fan quickly,and bended wind and threw a slash to the pirate that attacking blue haired guy.Pirate got slashed in the air and fainted.''Name is Claire Magoul.Remember that,cause we're allies now.''


Pirate Bandits:14/20 Remaining.



Skills Used:


Wind Slash:1/1 Duration,0/2 Cooldown.

Hexller saw the girl who started to attack the other pirates. Hexller smiled at the girl, although he wasn't sure that the girl saw him. The pirates are still closing in at him although some of them are already distracted by the girl. Hexller then heard the girl after she killed a pirate with her huge fan sword thingy.

Claire: Name is Claire Magoul. Remember that, cause we're allies now.

Hexller felt great that he has found a friend in a messed up time like this. He smiled at the Clair as he took his staff out while avoiding the pirate's attacks.

Hexller: Claire huh? I'm Alexander Hexller. Remember that 'cuz uhh.... Cuz I remembered your name!

Hexller extended his staff and spun it around his enemies. Two of them were sent flying towards a house, slamming on the wall. While one of them were sent flying towards one of the pirates who were charging with a sword, which had cut the flying pirate in half from the torso. Another one was hit in the head and was knocked unconscious. Hexller thought of his plans as he fought, his plans on gathering supplies. It'll wait until he reaches North Blue, since the marines must be informed of what is currently happening. One of the pirates ran away which didn't concern Hexller much, for what is important is what he would do next with these pirates.



By the docks, there is a big muscular man walking by the ships that were docked. His face seems serious at most, anyone might feel scared even by just looking at him in the eyes.

Captain Axeis: Which, which, which? Which one should I steal?

He whispered as he bounced the gigantic axe he was holding on his shoulder. He then heard a voice shouting his name.

Pirate Bandit: Captain! Captain Axeis!

A pirate was running towards him as it shouted. Axeis quickly looked at the pirate who was panting on his front.

Captain Axeis: What is it!? Can't you see that I'm busy!?

Pirate Bandit: A boy... A girl..

The pirate caught his breath.

Pirate Bandit: A boy and a girl is fighting our crew sir...

Captain Axeis: And so!? Can't you guys handle them!?

Pirate Bandit: They are strong sir! They are slowly killing us!

Captain Axeis: Fools! Beaten by a boy and a girl!? How may were you? More than twenty, am I right!? Lead me to them.

Another pirate came in, a big bulky pirate with an axe who stood a few meters away from Hexller with long red hair reaching his shoulders. The pirate seems familiar to Hexller, he quickly recalled all, if not, some of the people he have encountered, then suddenly, he remembered. It was the pirate captain he tried to fight back on a small town on the start of his journey alone. They were the pirates who pillaged the town. He was beaten up by their group before, but now that he have trained for all those years he is finally about to take revenge. The mood of the surroundings changed as Hexller gave the pirate an angry glare, avoiding incoming attacks from the last few pirates as he slowly walked towards Claire.

Hexller: I'm okay Claire, How 'bout you? Are you hurt?

Axeis saw Hexller and he remembered who he was. He was the pirate who tried to stop them from pillaging a small town.

Captain Axeis: You!? Haven't we met before? Aren't you the same pirate who attacked us before!?

Hexller: Uhuh, and now it's payback time! Claire, I'll take on this axe man myself. Take care of those who are left. I have some unfinished business with this one.

Axeis laughed after hearing what Hexller said. He was confident that is is going to beat Hexller for the second time.

Captain Axeis: I'm regretting my decision on sparring your life before, now I'll make sure you will rot and die!

Hexller held a tighter grip on his staff as it started to get coated in diamond. The captain is now swinging his axe ready to attack. Hexller spun his staff as the blades on both ends started to form, at the same time, Axeis is spinning his big wide axe. They charged each other with their weapons. As the blades of their weapons clashed, a shock wave was made due to the tremendous force of the impact. The blade of their weapons are now grinding each other.

Hexller: I'm not going to let you win this time.

Claire: ALEX!!!!MARINES ARE HERE!!!

Hexller heard Claire shout, after that, two gunshots were heard both Hexller and Axeis looked at the direction of the gunshot.

Axeis: Marines!? Crap! I'll go now boy, but don't be so happy 'cuz we'll meet later. I would just kill you later.

Hexller: Coward! Get back here!

It was no use, Axeis has already gotten far. Axeis ran away out of fright of being captured by the marines, he wasn't that strong after all. Hexller then heard Claire shout once more asking for help. Hexller quickly ran towards her voice. Hexller turned to a street and saw five marines closing in at Claire, Claire on the other hand was shot on the left shoulder, two shots to be exact. As for the last pirate, it was captured inside a net. Hexller became furious at the marines, he spun his staff and sliced two marines in half. He stabbed one of the marines on the stomach and the heart of the marine on his back.

Hexller: Nobody hurts my friends! Especially the one who I've just met!

Hexller glared at the pirate who was captured by the net. He walked slowly and stabbed him through the net. The diamonds covering his staff has powderized has he rushed towards Claire.

Hexller: Claire! Are you okay? I'm going to bring you somewhere safe, okay?

Hexller  gently placed Claire on his back and walked to the nearest place where they can hide and rest. Hexller saw a bar called "Big Ben's", Hexller immediately entered the bar. The bar has no one inside but the fat bartender behind the counter.

Bartender: Oi kid! What happened to your girl there!

Hexller: She was shot by marines! We need help!

Bartender: Quickly lay her on the counter!

The bartender swiped all the dirty dishes and fell on the floor. Hexller gently placed Claire on the counter. Blood keeps on flowing on both of her wounds in her shoulder. Hexller sat on a chair as the bartender took remedies from the back.

Bartender: Be glad that I once cured wounds of marines, but now I'm here, at this.. place.

Hexller: I sure am glad now.

The bartender had just finished applying what seemed to be alcohol and proceeded to wrap her arm in bandage. Hexller smiled at Claire as Claire managed to smile back.

Bartender: Don't mid hiding on this place for a while.

Hexller looked at Claire as she stood up from the counter. He sat down next to Hexller and gave her a smile. Hexller scratched his head.

Hexller: So.... What now? The marine are after us


A marine was rushing towards what seemed to be a captain. The marine quickly saluted at the captain after coming to a full stop.

Captain: What is it?

Marine: Sir! We have gained report of pirates making noise at the town, one of which attacked five of our guards.

Captain: Why, send more guards in, I hope to see these pirates on my front.

The marine gave the captain another salute and afterwards, the marine ran away.

''Claire! Are you okay? I'm going to bring you somewhere safe, okay?'' Alex said to Claire.Then she lost her consciousness and all she heard was Alex and the bartender before talking and doing something to her.She finally regained consiciousness and woke up.He gave Claire a smile,and she noticed that and so she smiled back to him.She stood up from the counter.''T-thanks...'' ''So.... What now? The marine are after us.'' ''They would probably come in here.We should get prepared,or get outside and prepare in there.'' ''I don't mind you guys to hide in here,but you need to do your dirty work in outside.''I think he's right.And we don't want to ruin this beautiful bar.You have a good thinkin' way lady,don't ya?''''Oh stop it i was just sucking up to you..After 5 minutes of a conversation,noises was heard.Some guys are searching for a blue haired boy that can turn into diamond,and some purple haired girl that bend air.''Damn it,they're here!''one of the marines saw Claire was looking at them from the window.Claire quickly jumped out of window and slayed that marine into two pieces from his hips.Then throws a line of wind at them,cutting 4 marine's head.''You guys,are lucky.Cause you have the chance for seeing the REAL Claire Magoul.''

Claire jumped from the window attacking the marines. Hexller exited the bar through the door, but before exiting he shouted at the bartender,

Hexller: Don't worry we'll take care of the damages!

Bartender: What the f-

Hexller shut the door and proceeded to cover his fists in diamond. He punched three marines out cold and slammed both of his fists on each side of one of the marine's head, Hexller wiped the blood in his diamond covered fists on his vest. Hexller looked around, he counted the marines as he dodged bullets fired at him. Hexller came closer to Claire.

Hexller: There was twenty-five of them, counting the ones we have killed. Think you're up making noise with the marines?

A marine charged him with a sword raised above his head, Hexller gave on marine a straight on the face sending him flying towards a wall of a house. The people watching through the window inside the house where the marine had hit screamed and hid. Hexller grinned at the marines who were left which were taking precautions at him as the diamonds on Hexller's hands powderize and scatter in the air. Hexller back up next to Claire once again, their backs are now flat against each other.

Hexller: You're good at this! I hope your wound isn't much of a trouble.

Hexller took his staff out once more and extended it, hitting the ground. Hexller gave the marines a big smile.

Hexller: Before we beat you all up, I would like to introduce myself and my companion here. She's Claire... Claire Magoul!

Hexller leaned at Claires head, he whispered,

Hexller: See I remembered your name.

Hexller took a straight face once more and looked at the marines, preparing to attack.

Hexller: And my name is Alexander Hexller! So get ready 'cuz we're gonna beat up your asses!

''There was twenty-five of them, counting the ones we have killed. Think you're up making noise with the marines?'' ''Making noise and revenging myself is the plan.Atleast my plan.''Claire rushed to the remaining marines and kicked one in the nuts and got his shotgun,then shooted 2 marines with it,then shotgun got out of ammo.She stabbed the marine that she kicked in the nuts and she throwed her corpse into one other marine and flied into him,then cutted his head off.Then she blowed a huge gust and sended 2 of the other marines flying.Then she swinged a huge air slash to other 2 pirates,cutting them both into 4 pieces,then she rushed into 2 marines in her back,and turned her fan into 2 daggers and stabbed them both from the heart.The other 5 marines started to shoot Claire,but claire managed to avoid them all.Then she created a purple energy wave in her hands,and turned it into little light bullets and bullets flied into marines in a incredible speed and exploded,sending them flying.Claire looked other 5 marine running away from the battlefield,but a huge sillhouette appeared in front of them.Alex!He's back! Claire yelled at Alex.Then sillhouette swinged his axe,cutting all the marines in front of him.Then he started to rush into Claire.Claire jumped into air and stepped on the bulky guy's head,and jumped into his back from there.I'm leaving this guy to you Alex!

Axeis: I have told you that I'll come back after you!

Bellowed a loud voice from behind. Hexller turned around just in time to avoid his axe which was swung towards him. He jumped and landed on his axe and jumped once more up. He held his staff on the other end as his other hand held the middle. He stopped mid air right above Axeis' head and shouted.

Hexller: Rapid Stab!!

Hexller stabbed the top of Axeis' head continuously for fifteen times at the span of nine seconds. Axeis fell unconscious after Hexller did the attack. Hexller then retracted his staff back to small size and picked up Axeis' axe with two of his hands which he had dropped after he fell. Hexller raised the huge axe up top on his head.

Hexller remembered what Axeis had said to him as he was kicking Hexller's limp body on that town in East Blue..

Axeis: You see, Pirates do what they do! We kill if we have to, even if we don't have a reason to! We steal if we need to, and even if just feel like it! That's how pirates are kid, so deal with it!

The pirates behind Axeis laughed.

Axeis: But for now, I'll let you live. Seeing now that you have learned your lesson. Be glad that I'm on a good mood today.

Hexller was filled with rage and anger. He whispered as Axeis turned and looked at Hexller's face asn froze in astonishment.

Hexller: That's how pirates are... So deal with it..

Hexller whispered.

Axeis: No... You won't do it... Y-you can't...

Hexller had cut the pirate captain's head with his own axe, not the best way to die. The axe was now stuck on the floor separating Axeis' head from his body. Hexller wiped the blood that splattered on his hands. He stared blankly at the captain's body and slowly walked towards Claire afterwards.

Hexller: Now that's over with...

Hexller was now back to his old jolly self, he smiled at Claire, which looked creepy as he wiped the blood on his face while walking towards her.

Hexller: Whew.. I'm getting tired now, and hungry.

Hexller laughed.


Another marine were running towards the silhouette of what seemed to be the marine captain. The marine came to a full stop and gave the captain a salute.

Captain: What is it this time? Where are the pirates I requested to see?

Marine: S-sir, the guards have been killed by them. Although they have said their names sir!

Captain: Beaten!? Tell me who are they!

Marine: Claire Magoul and Alexander Hexller sir!

Captain: Alexander? The son of those fools is still alive? What a suprise... Send twenty more marines and if the were to fail, I'll be the one coming. The higher council needs to know about this buffoonery.

The pirate saluted and ran away once more.

Claire was lost in emotions.She couldn't determined that she must be scared or amazed.Alex's eyes was froze her veins,and at the same time she was amazed.Alex killed the captain with his own axe and smiled to the Claire.This made her even more uncomfortable because the blood on his face.''Whew.. I'm getting tired now, and hungry.'' Alex said,and then laughed.Claire throwed a fake laugh to hide her fear.''I have a lot of beli in my pocket,let's go back to the pub and eat something.'' and she smiled to the Alex.They walked in to the pub,and bartender welcomed them.''You guys caused a lot of trouble.Both my window and the marines.'' Claire handed a 50 beli to the Bartender.''Sorry.'' ''W-well,i cant turn back this generous gift lady.'' Just give me the most quality salad to me.And Alex,you can eat whatever you want.Foods are from me. as she smiled to the Alex.After the foods come and they started to eat.''Hey Alex,by the way i wonder something.What did you to that man to defeat him.He just standed there and didnt even counter you.And the scariest part of it,the thing that you do scared me too. Claire was asking these to Alex with a face full of curiosity and fear.

Claire: Just give me the most quality salad to me. And Alex, you can eat whatever you want. Foods are from me.

Claire's words echoed inside Hexller's head. Hexller started to point foods at the menu at random as Claire talked to him.

Claire: ''Hey Alex, by the way i wonder something.What did you to that man to defeat him. He just standed there and didnt even counter you. And the scariest part of it, the thing that you do scared me too.

The food had just came in which was served by the bartender. Claire had a plate of salad while Hexller got five plates of different meats and big plate of rice. Hexller dug into the food as he tried to answer Claire's question.

Hexller: I dunno.

Hexller said with a full mouth. Hexller swallowed all the food that was filling his mouth before he continued. He looked at Claire.

Hexller: Sometimes a fight can get pretty intense. When I get very angry at that man 'cuz of something he may have done to at the past, I tend to space out and do some pretty hardcore stuff.

Hexller smiled at Claire as he spoke the last few words he have said. Hexller picked up the steak in his hand and started to rip it with his mouth then he swallowed all the food in his mouth. Hexller bowed his head for a while and thought of him being beaten by those pirates before, he hates getting beaten, he hates loosing. Hexller's mood was once again deep and dark.

Hexller: That was right for him.... I hate getting beaten. I hate loosing.

Hexller whispered. Hexller looked up at Claire, once again, he is back to his normal mood and self. He smiled at Claire and started to eat once more.

Hexller: I haven't properly introduced myself. I'm Alexander Hexller, but you can call me Hexller. I'm gonna be a great pirate, a very strong one!

Hexller said after swallowing the food in his mouth.

Hexller: Anyways, what are you doing here on a town like this?

[color:d257=#00ffff']''I dunno.'' was not satisfied with the answer.She was already buyed plates of most expensive meat and a bowl of rice and still,the answer was i dunno.''Sometimes a fight can get pretty intense. When I get very angry at that man 'cuz of something he may have done to at the past, I tend to space out and do some pretty hardcore stuff.'' this was not enough to satisfy her too,but atleast she learned the secret of him.Alex suddenly got scary again and stabbed his steak with his fork,and eated it like an animal.''That was right for him.... I hate getting beaten. I hate loosing.'' ''A-alex are you okay?'' Claire asked nervously.Alex turned his normal mood fastly,and smiled to the Claire and started to eat again.''I haven't properly introduced myself. I'm Alexander Hexller, but you can call me Hexller. I'm gonna be a great pirate, a very strong one!'' ''I can already see your future about being a strong pirate.Your captain will be lucky.''Anyways, what are you doing here on a town like this?'' Alex asked.''Well,since you asked nicely...I escaped from my home island due to marines and a group of psycho marines searching for me,and found my best friend's big sister's crew.I trained with them for years and some psycho crew came and killed them.I managed to escape but they followed me,reported me to the marines,which they allied them and stole my dead father's lucky charm.It was a rough week.Sorry if i whelmed or bored you.I have a pretty dark story.Oh,by the way,i ate Luck Luck Fruit!If you want to show me to you,let's go to the town's casino.It'll be so much money and fun.

Claire: Oh,by the way, I ate Luck Luck Fruit! If you want to show me to you, let's go to the town's casino. It'll be so much money and fun.

Hexller became exited. Getting money and supply is what he needed exactly. Hexller nodded with the food on his face flying around the place. He looked at Claire with a big smile. Hexller swallowed his food.

Hexller: Yesyes! I want to!

Hexller ran and jumped out of the other window which was the only window without damage. Hexller looked back and signaled Claire to hurry up and follow. Claire went out using the door.

Bartender: What the f-

Claire slammed the door. Hexller stopped at the middle of the square and scratched his head.

Hexller: Do you know where the casino is Claire?

Even before Claire managed to say a word, fifteen marines came rushing towards them. The marines were shooting at them, although their shots missed as both of them ran. Hexller thought of how close the marine base is at them and how a higher marine official can just come out and kill him. Hexller thought that he can't stay on the island any longer, he needs to escape the island. Hexller looked at Claire who was running by his side. Hexller turned towards another street as Claire followed him. Shots were missing them by only an inch, he doesn't know how long these marines would keep on missing. Hexller looked at Claire once more.

Hexller: Claire! It's been nice knowing you.

Hexller jumped to avoid a bullet coming towards his leg.

Hexller: But I have to go now, I hope we meet with each other once again! It's been nice to have a new friend! Until the next time we meet!

Hexller gave Claire a peace sign and a big wide smile before he turned to a different direction. The marines had split apart with ten chasing Claire and five chasing Hexller. Hexller looked back and saw the marine trying hard to take a hit at Hexller. Hexller took his staff and extended it as he ran. He was planning on attacking although he thought about making more noise would attract more enemies coming after him. He's just a beginner pirate, he's not that dumb to attack the marines just to get more enemies, probably even stronger enemies. He took another left towards a crowded street near the port. He need to find a way out of the island.

Hexller jumped out the only window thats not damaged.Then he signaled Claire to come.Claire just simply walked out of the door.''What the f-'' bartender seemed angry cause they broke every window in the pub.Hexller stopped and scratched his head.''Do you know where the casino is Claire?'' he asked,Claire was going to answer but the saw that 15 marines was coming for them.''Oh no,marines!''she yelled and started to run alongside hexller.The marines started to shoot them,but Claire quickly activated her fruit and make herself and Hexller more lucky.And it worked,Hexller turned into another street and Claire had no choice and needed to follow him.I guess the luck fruit gave them was returning to normal,since bullet were missing them by an inch.''Claire! It's been nice knowing you.'' Claire didn't understand what he's trying to say.''But I have to go now, I hope we meet with each other once again! It's been nice to have a new friend! Until the next time we meet!'' Claire's expression suddenly changed and she got angry ''W-wait what!B-but we were allies!I BUYED YOU FOOD!MAN UP YOU FRICKING PUSSY!! and then,Claire yelled more swears and curses to Hexller.Hexller turned into another street and maked peace sign.5 of the marines ran after him and 10 ran after her.Claire managed to hide in a back alley and and caused the other ten pirates go after Hexller too.Claire saw the shores and ran into her boat.She sailed out from this island peacefully.''If i eveer see that man again...Urgh.'' then Claire noticed a sillhouette in afar,a ball came out of sillhouette and hitted to the Claire's boat.Claire's boat exploded and Claire started to wash away and drown in the deep,deep ocean...

More marines came from the front which made Hexller turn another right. He is now getting closer and closer to the port, but the main problem is, how can he escape from these marines without them knowing. Hexller looked around and saw a great opportunity. Hexller saw two merchants up front of a ship. Hexller turned again and hid behind an alleyway. The marines got confused and split up to search for Hexller, ten of them continued on the street and five came inside the alleyway. The marines inside the alleyway had seen him and ran after him again. Hexller was once again being shot at by the marines. Hexller has a good distance from the marines now, Hexller exited the alleyway and turned towards the merchants by the ship once more. Only one of the merchants were now outside, smoking tobacco. A great opportunity for Hexller as the five marines from behind is still nowhere to be seen at the back. Hexller tapped the merchant from the back.

Hexller: Excuse me sir but may I borrow your clothes for a moment?

Merchant: Wha-

Hexller grabbed the merchant by the mouth and dragged him inside an alleyway as Hexller covered his mouth in diamond so that he cant speak or shout. Hexller took out his old raggedy clothes and took the merchant's tank top and high collared vest. Hexller dressed the merchant up with his clothes and took the merchant's hat to cover his blue hair as Hexller covered each strand of the merchants hair in diamond with one touch of his head, turning it blue. He kicked the merchant to ran away. Hexller exited the alleyway and a marine approached him as the marines caught their breath

Marine: Have you seen a man with blue hair anywhere here?

Hexller pointed by the alleyway which made the marines see the merchant who was running in Hexller's clothing. Hexller then slowly boarded the ship and a merchant approached him.

Merchant: Good! Now that you're done smoking, you can count our latest shipment on the storage! We are about to leave and go back to Lvneel!

Without a word, Hexller gave the merchant a salute and proceeded to go down the boat and searched for a good place to stay while the ship is sailing.

Hexller: Perfect! just what I wanted, Lvneel has the finest supplies and stuff and I get to leave this place for good.

Hexller whispered to himself. The ship has now began to move. Hexller had met a new friend, would they meet again? He has also acquired the attention of the marines now, there is no coming back now.

Hexller: I'll be the greatest pirate! Even better than a pirate king!
