《Quicksword Bob》Chapter 32 - The Blood Moon Rises
Advertisement
Bob spent a few days on the ship as he headed towards Loguetown. He made sure they had everything they needed to head out.
The ship had some new faces onboard, they were extra bodies for the new ships that John and Ron would buy. Those two didn't know how to steer and man a ship, but there were others that did.
John was equipped with Amane and he thanked Bob for the gift. It was the best sword he ever touched, he promised he wouldn't lose it.
Once he got it, the first thing he did was challenge Bob to a duel.
Bob ended up winning, but he told John he could see a huge improvement from when they first started to spar.
It reminded Bob of when he was sparring with Luffy. At that time, all Bobs starts were 5, he couldn't do much and even when he trained hard his stats never went up. Not to mention he couldn't use any skills.
Luffy had a devil fruit, Bob couldn't help but be weak at that time. However, now things were different. His stats were higher now, and he could use skills.
With John being a future swordsman to look out for, he figured he'd eventually have a match with Zoro. Zoro probably would win, but who knows, only time could tell.
As for Ron, he was equipped with his Dragunov sniper rifle, a normal pistol and two daggers. The sniper was for him to kill his targets at long range, while the pistol was for close to mid range. As for the daggers, they were for him in case he was forced into melee combat.
Everyone else was equipped with basic items, but things would change once they reached Loguetown.
It was weird, in all the time he's been training his armament haki, he's only managed to cover his finger. His end goal was to be able to have Black Death covered in it, but that felt like a long time from now.

His talent must not be good or something, or he wasn't cut out for armament haki.
Bob was thinking about taking a break from it to see if he could learn observation haki easier, but once he saw his small progress a new spark was ignited inside him.
Ron and John had a better time than him with their haki. He didn't even want to be compared to those two.
He taught them the methods, but they already surpassed him in these last few weeks.
Bob sighed.
Their ship eventually reached Loguetown, it was a main point of interest for all pirates. They had to come here to resupply if they wanted to head out into the grandline.
As their ship docked, Bob looked around.
He could see a few pirate ships, but he didn't see the Going Merry that Luffy had.
"If i'm going by story arcs, guess he should be in the middle of Whisky Peak arc."
Bob said softly.
"Whose in the middle of Whiskey Peak arc?"
Luna asked Bob.
"Oh, no one just a friend."
"Is he part of your organization?"
"No, he's a pirate. He said his goal is to become the king of the pirates."
Luna laughed.
"He's dreaming big. Do you think he'll accomplish that goal?"
Bob shook his head.
"Now? No. In the future? Maybe. The world is large, and filled with strong people. If he wants to reach the top, he'll need to get past them."
Luna agreed with Bob.
"What do you plan on doing, if you meet him in the future?"
Bob laughed.
"Oh, im going to have a rematch."
Luna tilted her head in confusion.
"So… you're saying you lost? But you're so strong!"
"Like I said, the world is filled with strong people. Besides, he only beat me when we were younger."
"I'd like to meet this friend of yours. I'm sure he'll have stories to tell."

Bob didn't say anything else, but looked out at the sea for a moment.
"Alright, enough of that. Where's John and Ron?"
Luna pointed over to John and Ron who were both organizing their groups.
Bob nodded.
He went over to them.
"Before you get off and go your own way, I want to give each of you 50 million beli. It's a starting amount, so be sure to conserve it until you make some more. Also, spend some time here in the city, make sure you equip your teammates with gear. Can't have them going to the grand line with basic equipment.
Find and buy yourselves a ship first, then once you do come here and collect the money. Jacob invited a few people to help you man your ships, but you're free to hire others here on the island.
And remember, 6 months, Water 7."
John and Ron both nodded their heads.
Bob watched them leave the ship one by one.
He already mentioned to them that they needed to buy a log pose before they set sail. If they didn't, they'd get lost at sea. He also told them the basics on how it works.
After John and Ron's groups were gone, Bob smiled.
"So, where are we headed to now?"
Luna asked.
"Well, first I need to get us a log pose as well. I'll handle that, you and the others can go into town and buy whatever you need for the grandline. Weapons, armor, it doesn't matter the cost just get what you need.
"You not setting up a base here?"
Bob shook his head.
"No. I'm having someone else do that, they should be here within a week or two."
Jacob came over to Bob.
"I can put the new sails up now?"
Bob nodded.
Jacob turned around and yelled.
"Alright boys! Time to put up the new sails!"
Luna was confused.
"What sails?"
Bob smiled.
Jacob turned to her and showed her a mask. It was scary looking, as if it was some sort of demon. It was all white, but the eyes were crimson red and the horns on the mask was red as well.
"What is that?"
"It's a mask. It'll be part of our image. We'll be faceless, leaving others to wonder who we are. Eventually the marines will put a bounty on us, for some reason or another. Even if we do nothing wrong, our group will be considered too strong to be normal pirate hunters. Thus they'll throw us with the other pirates. I can't have you guys in the public eye yet, so I came up with this.
Put these masks on we'll be whoever we want and do whatever we want. Thing is, because all the mask look similar, it'll be like we are the same but many as well. It's something unexpected."
Bob explained to Luna.
He grinned.
"Remember this. The possibilities are endless, so why go the straight path when you can carve a new one? Do the unexpected and keep your opponents on their toes."
Bob actually stole that from the Faceless faction description. As for the mask, he stole the design from League of Legends. However, no one here knew that.
Instead of Blood Moon clan, they'd be pirates, revolutionary or whatever they wanted to be.
Bob gave John and Ron one too the day before. Ron's was that of Jhin from League of Legends, while John's was that of Yasuo.
"Hey Jacob, i'm going to head out now. When the others return for the money make sure they grab some den-den mushi as well. Tell them to contact Dave before they leave this place."
Bob yelled towards Jacob.

I myself am a high-functioning autistic but that's only shows in my writing for the most part they look will be the occasional grammar mistake and missing apostrophes and periods I'm also using a speech to text feature on my computer that will occasionally slip up. Now for the synopsis of the story: your standard reincarnation seventh hero type deal but there is a little..... Slip up: parts of the person fractals creating several people;; A great-hearted hero, a savvy traveling merchant, and a sadist curious dungeon Lord. Critiques and people reading this is appreciated, I mostly just doing this for fun. And because this is somewhat important for some reason the cover art is not made by me I just got it from search engine. It also may change over time. im mostly following the dl becouse...i don't know.

Thief of Time
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Book 1: The Legend of Tot Synopsis: Claud Primus, a self-declared master thief, has a simple goal. To live forever. It's a rather easy task, for miraculous objects called lifestones are able to extend one's lifespan. These lifestones are best found in the treasuries of nobles, lovely resorts that Claud pays a visit to every so often. Unfortunately, one of those nightly visits go awry, and Claud is forced to escape with just a single lifestone and a box in hand. Normally, that's when things die down. The guards yawn, the gates close, and the night continues. But this time, the night isn't that forgiving. A dozen schemes result in the murder of someone important, and with a convenient scapegoat — Claud — at hand, it doesn't take long for him to be framed as a heinous criminal, wanted for the indirect murder of someone high up...and it just gets worse from there. Book 2: The Moon Lords' Rise Synopsis: As ordered chaos sweeps across Licencia, Claud leaves for Julan Barony, intent on making some profits there. Accompanied by the erstwhile heiress of Julan, a fellow member of the Moon Lords, the two plot against the barony's wealth...as well as a promise to bring about its downfall. Meanwhile, back home, the Moon Lords have busied themselves with digesting their gains. Eyes, however, are beginning to turn to this proverbial fish in a small pond. The fishermen are coming. When they cast their hook, what will Dia and the others do? Book 3: Murders under the Moons Synopsis: In the sleepy town of Nachtville, where Claud and Lily are forced to stop at, a set of nasty murders occurs. Victims scream out in fright, before a spear falls from the sky to end their suffering. Cowed and cautious, the master thief and his partner slink in the shadows, their objective that of home... A new task, however, has fallen on Dia. With a trusty helper at her side, she has to set off towards Nachtville itself, to solve the mystery Claud had abandoned. Faced with an enemy whose sole skillset is geared towards killing, how will they succeed? And what dark secrets will they find? Book 4: In the Dark of the Moons Synopsis: The year has ended. The four months of the full moons will soon be followed by two months of the new moons. Duke Istrel's ascension is around the corner. Amidst this political upheaval, Count Nightfall, Licencia's strongest defender, has been called away. The Moon Lords' largest task yet — to protect Licencia in the absence of its ruler — has begun. And yet, trouble is unrelenting. A distinguished personage, one that Claud fears, has been found dead in the county, his brains dug out and his body disemboweled. The inquisitors of the White Church have been dispatched to investigate and apprehend the murderer...as well as the person behind this puppet. Tormented by a call to fight, Claud directs his eyes out of the city, looking for the puppetmaster. Skulking in the shadows, the master thief will soon confront his greatest foe yet. A foe just like him. Book 5: Moonlit Tides and Darkened Seas Synopsis: A new era has begun. For the privileged, the sands of time dribble away for every passing moment, counting down to the arrival of a entity of mythical proportions. The night now harbours shadows and fog, and operatives of the Moons and the Dark clash in shadow. Claud, as usual, is investigating a spate of nasty disappearances in the city, but little does he know what these disappearances truly mean. And yet, a tide is coming. When it finally breaks, what will he do? Book 6: Secrets in Shadow Synopsis: The person behind a strike that would enter the annals of history flees his home, bringing with him the person closest to his heart into a new land and into a new world. Having left Istrel for the first time in his life, the two of them attempt to settle down in foreign lands, only to be caught in the middle of hostilities between two mighty powers grappling for dominion. Yet, none of that has anything to do with him. Following his desires, Claud eventually makes his way to the fabled Celestia Ruins, a fragment of another world. Bearing witness to truths he cannot yet comprehend, he returns from his exploration, a small break away from the machinations of destiny. One thing, however, is for certain. Destiny will not wait for him. Book 7: Reddest Rage Synopsis: Destiny churns on, heedless of mortal machinations, and Claud watches as the battlegrounds between the Moons and the Dark are drawn up. With the forces of the great Dark occupying Lostfon, Claud comes to a startling realisation — that he may have very well be a murderer of heinous proportions. Grappling with that realisation, he struggles to prepare for his Second Tutorial... Back in Istrel, Dia finds herself confronted with a perennial truth. Even in a time of writhing destiny, the machinations between nobles never cease to end — and unfortunately for her, the group once known as the Moon Lords are forced into dealing with a petty squabble between two counts. What they didn't account for, however, was the startling discovery they would soon make... And the shadow of the Red God's Holy Son behind it all. Book 8: Darkness Descends Synopsis: Nightmares haunt the horizon as Claud sinks and awakens from a seeming dream. What was once illusory begins to play out before him, in a way he cannot imagine. Dia, forced to wield arms, begins and ends a battle that opens her eyes to the vast dangers that lurk in this sundered world. Under the banner of humanity and divinity, she beholds the silent, forgotten protectors of Orb...but there is no forgetting the battle between the divinities. The Dark descends, the Moons writhe, and the horns of war blow once more. But this is not their battle. Not yet. Book 9: Moons Muster Synopsis: As more and more events fall into place, Claud finds himself desperate. Not for himself, but for the person who has turned into his world. Armed with the knowledge of a certain future, he approaches the only person that could possibly help him in his time of need, trading information for a promise of help. With that as solace, he returns to the grim task of understanding and seeking, revisiting an ancient, shattered fragment of another world...unleashing changes that he never knew was possible. Back in Istrel, Dia and the others must now navigate around a familiar spirit, who seeks to investigate the death of his master's Bearer. With them as prime suspects, the Seekers of Life must move carefully...but the Coloured Gods are not the only divinities eyeing them closely. The Moons, bristling from repeated defeats, are looking for new recruits, and the Seekers of Life are prime cannon fodder. Above all, destiny marches on, the unfeeling clock a warning to all. The Trial of Aeons will soon arrive. Book 10: Destiny Divine Synopsis: ??? Release frequency: one every few days or something, I guess. (This work is also being serialised on Webnovel under the name Revile as a trial run)
