Mossball Arc

Property of Alphadhbeta

Alpha's enterance into the Grand Line resulted in his own regret that he had not chosen a navigator to accompany him. He sailed full of regret to the first island, Mossball Island, territory of the Marimo Pirates, and landed to a surprise party... of pirates.

He sensed danger ahead, and transformed into a human/hawk hybrid form, and launched several powerful kicks in all directions, breaking the bones of the pirates. He kicked the stomaches and heads of them, and easily defeated 100 pirates. Soon, Alpha walked into the local town, with villagers full of fear in their eyes. As he was getting some information from the town's elder, he was slashed in the back by the Marimo Pirate's captain, Marimo. He was a rookie pirate with a bounty of 20,000,000, equivelant to Arlong's. He was enraged by Alpha's actions against his subordinates, when they had not done anything wrong against him.

"They did not attack me... but they all gave me a cold, icy stare. Something that would indeed threaten a one-man crew..." said Alpha.

Marimo was instantly pissed off from "enraged" to "hell outraged," and struck Alpha's arms. Just then, Alpha used his Devil Fruit powers, the powers of the Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Hawk to transform into a hawk, and knocked Marimo backwards with a powerful flap of his wings. He then used his talons to slash Marimo's face, an attack which he called "Sharp Claws."

"You have a bounty of 20,000,000," commented Alpha, "Then Arlong should have had at least 60,000,000. You're too weak to call yourself a pirate in these waters."

In a split second, he was surrounded by the villagers of Mossball Island, as a "hero," and was invited to a banquet of all sorts of food. Excited, he accepted the invitation, and enjoyed the feast with as much meat, fish, and sake as the whole world could hold.

After the banquet, he was introduced to the town elder's grandson, Kazarashi, who happened to be a navigator. The two conversed for a while, until Alpha urged him to join his crew. Kazarashi (who was apparently nicknamed "Kazar") accepted, and a day later, set off for the next island together.
