Chapter 4: Meet The Old Geezer And A fight Begins

"Ugh," I said, as my body was in so much pain that it felt like I had been hit by a train or something.

I then opened my eyes and looked up at the ceiling, which was clearly a little dark in the room, but I could see some sunlight to my left as I turned to look, but the sunlight was bright as I quickly closed my eyes as I tried to adjust to the light, then slowly opened my eyes, but I was met with a chimp who was wearing a white karate gi and was holding a "Hi" sign.

Uhhhh, what the fuck am I looking at?

"Uh, hi," I say awkwardly to the chimp as I wave at it, and then the chimp switches to a different card. Now it says, "My name is Bobo, and my master has asked for your presence; please follow me," the chimp said, putting the card away and now holding its hand out for me to grab.

I did what it asked, and now it's dragging me away from where I was lying. Now I'm outside, as I looked, and I might say it's beautiful; it's like a Japanese dojo with a bamboo water fountain, a pebble garden, and a blossom tree. The framework is made of wood.

I then snapped out of it as Bobo gently pulled me along as he took me to this so-called master, whoever it was. Now that I think about it, I don't remember anything that has happened.

All I remember is the four-armed gorilla taking me to the mountain, and then I don't know; everything else is all blank. I put that thought to one side as we arrived at a shoji door and Bobo knocked on the wooded wall on the side.

As we waited for movement, we heard someone with a serious voice say, "Come in," as Bobo slid the door open. I could feel drool coming out of my mouth as I was greeted by a feast of food that smelled like heaven. I just wanted to eat everything, but then I noticed two tatami tables on the floor, one empty and the other occupied by someone. I see who it is, and I'm shocked because it's Bang, also known by his hero alias Silver Fang from One Punch Man.

He has light blue eyes and tan skin and has spikey white hair, thick white eyebrows, and a thick white mustache. He wears a long-sleeved black martial arts jumpsuit, light-colored pants, and Tai Chi slippers.

What in the hell is he doing here? Did he die and then reincarnate here in the one-piece world, huh?

"Finally, we meet again." I had already met him when that happened, and I really don't remember that happening. "Uh, we met already?" Perplexed, I asked, as the old man, or Bang, if that's his name in this world, tilted his head confusedly and said, "You don't remember." As I remained silent and he interpreted my silence as a no, he realized something.

"Oh, that's right, I didn't go easy on you, and I'm very sorry," he chuckled as he stretched his head in an embarrassing gesture. as I gave him a blank look.

*ahem*

"Anyway, please allow me to introduce myself, and my name is Bang." Just like in One Punch Man, "Allow me to tell you what happened before you were unconscious, but first let's eat while I tell what happened," I then started to eat.

"It all started when..."

————————————————————————————————————————

As we can see from the mountain below, there is a rather large sliver of a four-armed gorilla on the run with someone on its back. We get a little closer as we see that Valerie is riding on its back as they get closer to the mountain. They stop in front of the mountain as Valerie looks up at it with a bit of a fearful look on her face.

'This is very scary, and my fear is heights; one missed ledge, and I'm dead; then I'll meet God again, probably expecting this to happen, but fuck it.' Valerie considered this as she tightened her grip on the gorilla's shoulder. She then took a deep breath with her eyes closed, exhaled, and opened her eyes, showing determination within her eyes. She then tapped the gorilla's shoulder.

"Ok, I'm ready," she says to the gorilla, and the gorilla answers with a loud hum as the gorilla grabs on to the ledge of the mountain and pulls himself up, then grabs onto another ledge, and now the gorilla is starting to climb.

'Ok, ok, calm down. Everything is alright, but please don't fall, four-arms. I just died, and I don't want to die again' Valerie thinks as they keep on climbing, not knowing that someone is waiting for them.

————————————————————————————————————————

Meanwhile, the same old man, known as Bang, is sitting crisscross in a room with a cup of tea in his hand when a crow enters and lands beside him, making a caw sound: "I see Kong, along with her, is coming. Wahaha, it's been a while since there were visitors on the island," he says, turning his head toward the crow. "Keep watching them, okay," he says to the crow as he pats the bird's head.

Bang returns to drinking his tea, letting out an ah sound. Being satisfied with his tea, he looks down to the side to see a gold coin that looks like a medallion and has an ominous skull at the center of it. Some parts of the coin are burned, which he picks up and rolls between his thumb and index finger and does a knuckle roll.

"It's been almost ten years since 'that indecent' occurred, and I'm curious how they're doing now—what are they doing?" This goes on for a second as he stares at the coin with serious intensity, then the coin stops over the gap created by his thumb and index finger as he does a coin flip. as he stares at it, unsure which side will fall.

"I don't have much time," he said, as the coin was falling. "Maybe I'm willing to bet everything on her, who can beat them." as the coin lands on the ground, then looks down to see not a skull but an angel on the other side of the coin, "Wahaha, it seems lady luck agrees with me this time for once," he says, then picks up the coin as it falls in his palm and looks at the burned side of the coin with the skull on it before clutching it tightly in his hand. "This is it; I know she is the one I was told of," he says, then chuckles. "Well," as he then stands up from the ground, "it's about time to meet her for once." As he walks out the door, he leaves the golden coin behind. The sunlight shines on the angel side of the coin as Bang now walks toward where Kong and Valerie are.

Meanwhile, Valerie and Kong, the gorilla, are halfway up the mountain, with Valerie singing a song because she is bored.

"~I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad

I got sunshine in a bag

I'm useless but not for long

The future is coming on~"

"~I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad

I got sunshine in a bag

I'm useless but not for long

The future is coming on

It's coming on, it's coming on

It's coming on, it's coming on~"

Kong is listening and bobbing his head along with the song as Valerie counts down to sing clint eastwood by Gorillaz.

"~Finally someone let me out of my cage

Now time for me is nothin', 'cause I'm countin' no age

Now I couldn't be there, now you shouldn't be scared

I'm good at repairs, and I'm under each snare~"

"~Intangible, bet you didn't think

So I command you to, panoramic view

Look, I'll make it all manageable

Pick and choose, sit and lose all you different crews

Chicks and dudes, who you think is really kicking tunes?~"

This continues on until the sun sets, and they arrive at the top as Valerie ends the song on a high note.

"~My future

It's coming on, it's coming on, it's coming on

My future

It's coming on, it's coming on, it's coming on

My future~"

'Wow, I have no singing talent; I've never been that good; I mostly mumble when I listen to songs, but it's okay, I guess.' As she looked around, she noticed that it was a little foggy everywhere. A sudden wind kicks in as it blows everything out of the way. Now that everything is clearer, there is a massive wooden door in front of you. Kong walks up to the door, places his palms against it, and pushes it open, making a long creaking noise. "That door's got to be lubricated; it's really annoying."

Valerie and Kong walked in as the door opened wide to let them in, only seeing a long, dark hallway with a light at the end. They continued walking until they reached the end, where they saw an enormous exterior consisting of a walled courtyard with various training devices scattered around the edges, such as a weapons rack. Spectator stands surround the main square on either side, giving the place the appearance of a palace or an arena. Valerie continued to walk straight, but Kong walked in a different direction to the right as she looked at him.

"Hey," she says to Kong as he looks back at her, "where are you going? I don't know where I go." She says to him, and then she can hear his thoughts, saying, 'keep going, master, waiting.' She heard him as she watched him leave to go to his room, which she assumed was his room, leaving her alone in the courtyard as the sun set and it became dark outside by the minute. Taking the gorilla's advice, she kept on walking forward. She looks up ahead, seeing a large set of stairs leading up to a small Japanese house. There are other stairways around leading to somewhere else up on the mountain.

She then continued walking but halted as she heard a loud bell go off, and suddenly she sensed something coming really fast. She then jumped up as three figures with spears stabbed the ground, creating a crack on the floor. She landed back on the floor with her feet, and then the four figures grabbed their spears back from the ground as they circled around her like a predator hunting its prey, but in truth, Valerie is the predator and they are her prey, just to play with, just as the dark comes in and the moonlight shines on the four, who reveal themselves to be Golden Snub-Nosed Monkeys.

"Okay, why are you three attacking me?" Valerie inquired about the three monkeys, who were prepared to attack again. One lunged forward, but Valerie stepped to the side, grabbing the spear with one hand and pulling it towards her, along with the monkey whose hand held the spear as the monkey got close. Valerie delivers an uppercut to the monkey's chin, launching him into the air. She then grabs the monkey tail as she spins herself, and the monkey body collides with the other two, sending them towards a wooden wall, which broke and made a hole.

"Huh, that was easy; I'm not sure why they attacked me," she shrugged, turning to walk toward the large staircase but stopping as she sensed more approaching. As she turned and looked around, she saw even more golden-snub-nosed monkeys but no weapons. "Are they just going to keep coming?" she wondered as two monkeys lunged forward and threw punches, which Valerie responded to by throwing punches at the two monkeys, which one monkey dodged by jumping over her and the other whips its tail under her feet, making Valerie fall on her back as the one who jumped does a downward kick aimed at Valerie's head, but Valerie saw that coming and rolled herself out of the way.

The monkey kicked the floor, causing a crack beneath it, and Valerie gets up quick as the two monkeys get into kung fu stances. "OK, I don't know much about kung fu, but I know they fight close and from a distance with weapons, so this should be challenging for me." One leaped forward and tried to strike with its hand to form a tiger claw, while the other moved from the right, using its buddy as cover, then jumped, spun itself, and whacked Valerie in the face with its tails a bunch of times as it stopped, then Valerie spit a little blood to the side and wiped her mouth with her hand.

"All right, now it's my turn." She said to the monkey as she activated her observation haki. Then one threw a right back kick at her, but it was a trap as it pulled its leg, then launched a left back kick, but Valerie grabbed its leg and held it in place. Then she launched a sidekick to the side of the monkey, making it fly to the side.

Then the other came in and did a flying kick, but then Valerie caught it and held the monkey in place as the monkey grabbed her arm, twisted its body, and went to whack her with its tail, but she let go of its foot as she slammed the monkey to the ground, creating a huge impact and creating dust and smoke everywhere.

"All right," she told herself as she looked around, spearing her arms out. "well! if any of you want to fight me! then come on down!" She says to the crowd as she looks around with her arms out, before hearing loud thuds behind her and seeing something large with glowing red eyes at the entrance where she came from, revealing itself to be a dark brown grizzly bear with a scar down the left side of its eye and even more scars on its body as the bear stopped right in front of her. "Ahh shit, please don't tell me you're one of the four giants," she says to the bear as the bear lets out a loud roar, letting some saliva and a piece of fish meat land on her face.

Valerie, with a deadpan expression on her face and a long sigh, says, "Okay buddy, I got some problems with you." As the bear slowly, due to its weight, stands on its two feet, she says, "One, your breath stinks; I consider you to brush your teeth and lace them" while wiping her face with a towel that was in her messenger bag, "two, I hate you for killing those people that were in the village. You might be an animal, but they had a full life ahead of them."

She swishes some of the fish meat that has landed on her shirt and picks it out of her hair, then takes off her messenger bag and throws it to the side. "And three, I'm going to kick your ass." She looks up at the bear, both arms covered in Armament Haki, and the bear's body appears to be covered in black armor, almost as if:

'Armament!' she exclaimed, her eyes widening as she sensed it and almost saw it on the bear's body. 'Welp, no turning back on my word' her eyes filled with a raging fire of determination. "Well, let's do it," she said to the bear with a smile on her face as the bear let out a growl. They are about to fight; which side will win—the human or the bear?

[AUTHOR NOTE]

Well, very sorry on my part; I didn't post again as this chapter was to be posted on December 24, then I promised myself I'd post on December 30 on time as I posted on December 31, but of course I failed. Sorry if you think I'm lying or not, but that's the truth. Sorry again. I don't know how many times I'm going to say it again and again. I'm just trying to get these as fast as possible and trying to figure out some small plots here and there anyway. Also, please read my notes at the end of each chapter. Some might be long paragraphs or short sentences, but I don't know if I ended this quick chapter or not. If I did, it just means I want to get to the main plot of one piece. That way, I don't make y'all read; just hold on for a bit for two more chapters, and then we are on the one-piece main plot. Anyway, that's all for today. I'll see you all later.
