Chapter 21: Guzen and Laffitte meet
The sun glares over the figure with blood red eyes and wide plastered grin on his face became more obvious .
"Boss you can call me Guzen, now a former bounty hunter," the tall figure chuckled lightly with a hint of bloodthristiness as he stepped out the dark.
Joshua eyes flashed as he saw the fiqure walking towards him. "Good now lets go meet the other member," Joshua nodded as he and Guzen both disappeared under the glaze of the sun.
That time at the coast of the island at a empty area there docked a ship which with no flag on it. On the the deck of the ship there sitted a tall figure who was constantly tapping witha smiling face.
Captain should be back anytime now
The figure is Laffitte.
Ever since Joshua left the ship, Laffitte was slightly starlted by Joshua'sactions but he shook his afterwards because he new what Joshua was going to do. Even though there were thoughts that Joshua might kill him but he still placed is bet on him recruiting the bounty hunter. The gun skills of the person was somewhat shocking, got you wandering why such person with excellent skills still staying in the west sea. With Joshua somewhat calm but interested gaze Laffitte knew what he was planning so he sat down calmly and waited untill the ship reach the island. Due to the much quieter state of the ship, Laffitte tapping became the only point of noise, his smiling but concealed bloodthristiness flashed across his eyes slightly. Making it seems like it were never there, he closed his eyes and silenstly enjoyed the gentle sea breeze the gushes by him occasionally.
Time passed by unknowingly and Laffitte has now reached the island, he glanced over the island and smiled. The busy street, the patroling navy and the constant pirate fights has already broken the wonderful silence that he journeyed with causing him to smile helpless. But thats not real reason, if you look closely you can see repeated flashes of red light in eyes, the bloodthristy and madding emotions were constantly changing his expression.
Which made him look a bit crazed with is constant smile, but all of this is expected of Laffitte. But he calmed down hisself as he anchored the ship, even though the restock of the food is important but leaving the boat now to do that would not be a good choice. Since the ship can get stolen because of the lack of a flag or there is noone guarding it. Don't get it wrong Laffitte did not fear the ship being stolen because its just a temporary ship. But to go kill and steal one takes up time and Laffitte didn't want to waste time doing that so he just waited patiently for Joshua, as he glances at the busy place from repeatedly.
"It seem like the captin is here," Laffitte said as he straighten his body a little and looked in a certain direction at the incoming figure. Then he shifted his gaze as he look at the person walking behind Joshua.
"Heheheee it seems like it was successful,"he added as he look on the person and a slight flash of haze went across his eyes.
At time same time Joshua and Laffitte moved a moderate speed as they apprached the ship.
"Boss is this the ship," Guzen looked at the approaching ship as he sized up himself with it and a flash of light went across his eyes.
Even though he knew this was the ship he didn't want to believe it, because it looked broken down and worn out seemingly like it can fall apart any minute.
"This is just a temporary ship I haven't had my one built yet," Joshua answered not minding Guzen conflicted look.
"I see," Guzen smiled a little craziily but then his eyes flashed with a red light as he looked on the ship with a slight bloodthristy look.
"Hehehe oh it seems there is an interesting fellow....
Then immediately both persons jumped on the ship causing the ship to rock a little. Then right that moment Guzen and Laffitte eyes met four. Joshua who was ready to introduce to each other looked on the two who are staring at each other and shook his head as he went to sit down.
"Its is expected after all they are somewhat the same.....
Guzen looked on Laffitte with a wide grin and a hint of crazed expression was on his face while Laffitte looked on Guzen smilingly but hint of bloodthristiness was on his face as well.
"You are like me," Guzen laughed as he walked to his right as he behind over his head to look on Laffitte with his a maddening expression.
Laffitte calmly looked on the figure before.
The boy is a 6'7" inches young man who had a somewhat black unkept hair, a little dazzled light shone at the right side of his face. It was a minatured long black earrings which swayed lightly on his right ear. The colour of his earring was totally in contrast to his pale complexion. He had on a black slim pants with various ripped areas, the shirt he had on was white at the left side, and the sleeve of it was in a black colour.
The right side of it was not the same but completely different it was in blood red with splashes of black. For the sleeve ther was none but he had a white bandage wrapped around his arm which had some blood spot. Which can be understood because of the fight with Joshua however if you look closely you will see some terrible scars and cuts on his hands which seemed to be there a while back and recently. Even though he looked crazy and brain damaged, his age seemed to be around 18 or 19.

"You are also like me but way more crazy," Laffitte replied as he his face became more bloodthristy and maddening which caused his face to look a little distorted which made him far worse than a state of a mental brain damage. Those who know Laffitte knows that he is cruel and a little psychotic.
Because before he went rouge he used to be a sheriff in a town and what he enjoy the most was torturing individuals to a extreme gore manner and there despaired expression is what he found exciting and the most thrilling. So for Guzen to pick it up it is not strange..
because they are similiar
Hehehee... maybe Guzen laughed maniacly not giving a direct answer.
We might be somewhat similiar but what about your strength he added a he disappeared instantly.
Laffitte who already saw this coming didn't react much as held out is crane to meet the incoming attack. Guzen appeared before Laffitte with a crazy and laughing expression as he slashed towards Laffitte neck without hesitation. Laffitte who was already on the move lifted his crane as he intercepted the powerful but shrap knife.
Ding..
Both attacks hit giving off a wisp metal clashing, they both stepped back but Laffitte advance faster he punched towards Guzen chest with incredible but terrifying speed. For Guzen who saw this tilted his face and a light flashed in his eyes as he dodged the attack.
"Powerful force," he commented
The offense off Laffitte didn't startled Guzen but he lightly grazed Laffittel hand putting him out of his rhythmic balance.
"Not bad," Laffite said in heart but he didn't get any time to think as Guzen drew his gun spinned it twice in his as aimed the gun at Laffitte and shot continuously. Laffitte darted his hand forward as he blocked Guzen attack and directly lifting itupward which caused the bullet to shot at some random area. Guzen didn't stop his onslaught as he slashed to the stomach region of Laffitte.
"This is it," Guzen thought as he expression became distorted
Joshua who was watching in the distance eyes slow shrink everything that happened was in eyes.
Laffitte what are you going to do
Laffitte not panic but raised his leg and greeted the knife attack then moved his leg in a weird pattern which soften the blade shrapness and so when the knife met his foot nothing happened.
This...
Both Joshua and Guzen were shocked
He soften the blade shrapness Joshua said in a suprised tone for laffitte whose skills are still unknown this much was expected but it still suprised him.
"How can this be is it his devil fruit ability," Guzen thought laughed but with a touch of solemnity but still excited.
The winds around them blew away vigoriously causing the ship to sway slightly rapid and the waves the ocean to be a little disturbed. This might seems like a little sparse but much consumptions was used causing them to pant
Good good your response and skills are not bad Guzen said laughing maniacly.
Your speed is fast and abilities are precise Laffitte said witha light smile .
The hand of laffitte that Guzen placed out of rhythm had the crane( gods knows when appeared) was aiming at his head and the bullets that had thought to be lost somewhere had appeared over the head of Laffitte floating silently. It seems like a
tie..
not necessarily.....
cause no one used full strength....Nothing was said for a period until....
Laffitte the navigator
Guzen the gunner
its seems like we are teammates from now on
