New Shining Star |『 Male Reader 』? One Piece

"The time is the Great Pirate Era!"

"Countless pirates fight desperately for the One Piece, the great treasure left behind by Gold Roger, the Pirate King."

"Y/n L/n, a young man whose body can transform into a buffalo after eating the Ox Ox Fruit Model Water Buffalo, also takes the sea to become the Pirate King."

"As Y/n and his friends overcome numerous adventures, the World Government is less and less able to ignore their existence."

"The crew, on its way to the New World, will speed along the Grand Line again today!"

The bounty hunters tightened their formation, surrounding Y/n and Kieran like wolves, waiting for the perfect moment to pounce. The chains in Dorian's hands rattled as he gave them a slow, testing twirl. His sharp, sunken yellow eyes gleamed with amusement, but something else lurked behind them...a personal grudge.

Watching this, Y/n hummed, hands sliding into his pockets as he turned to Kieran. "So... how do you usually fight?" he asked, making Kieran side-glance at him, lips barely twitching into what might've been a smirk. "I have my ways," he muttered before rolling his shoulders.

"But since it's come to this, we won't have a choice..." he trailed off as he reached for the clasps of his cloak. In one smooth motion, Kieran shrugged off the dark fabric, letting it fall to the ground.

Kieran's arms, now fully visible, were clad in dual gauntlets with intricately crafted, blackened steel covering his forearms and hands, segmented with layered plating. The gauntlets extended over his knuckles, ending in blunt, reinforced points. Embedded into the metal were small chain links woven seamlessly into the design, glinting under the dim forest light.

Seeing this, Y/n whistled low. "Damn. That looks sick," he said as Kieran smirked at Y/n's reaction but didn't get the chance to reply as Dorian's chain lashed through the air, the heavy links aimed straight for Kieran's head.

*Whoosh*

*CLANG*

Thankfully, he dodged, the force of the swing whipping past his face and embedding into the ground with a metallic thud. And on cue, the bounty hunters lunged at once. Y/n immediately burst forward, his foot slamming into the dirt as he twisted into a spinning roundhouse kick, sending the first bounty hunter reeling into another.

Without pausing, he charged at the next attacker. "Adamantine Kata: Ironbreaker!" he shouted. His fist tensed, muscles tightening as he drove his knuckles into the hunter's gut, the sheer force sending them skidding across the forest floor.

Another came from the side, swinging a pair of serrated daggers. However, Y/n's movements flickered before he could be hit, confusing the hunter. "Flame Kata: Flashfire," said Y/n as his form blurred with afterimages trailing behind. He reappeared behind a group, already twisting mid-air.
