A mysterious figure walked through the alley, pouring gasoline all over the place. "Excuse me, sir?" asked a passerby from the street. "If you plan to light that gasoline, I'm going to have to call the co-". The passerby was silenced by a sharp blade through the throat. The figure dragged the body deeper into the alley and poured gasoline on it too.
He chuckled as small, sharp blades grew from two of his fingers. The figure snapped, and the sparks caused the gas to ignite. Looking from a bird's-eye view, the flames spelled out "EDWARD ACERO RULES YOU!", with the man's corpse making up most of the exclamation point. "I don't know how I got here," said Acero, captain of the Ironside Pirates, "but I might as well make as huge of a mess as possible.

Charlie, after having gotten off from work saw people running his way, wondering what all the commotion was about. He walked further until he saw smoke, and in the alley was fire burning bright and a dead body burning in the flames. "What the fu..."

The pirate turned around and looked Charlie in the eye. "May I help you sir?" he asked, being completely nonchalant about the fire behind him.

"Um... dude, there's a fire and a dead body behind you, what... the... hell..?" Charlie asked. He backed up slowly and began to run with the rest of the crowd.

"Y'know, man?" said Edward, blowing smoke at Charlie, "I'd kill you all now if I felt like it. But I'm generous, and I'll let you all live your pathetic, meaningless lives one more day." He coated his hand with metal and punched at a stranger's head, shattering their skull and sending blood and various other things in various directions. "Don't underestimate me."

Charlie was back in his home, keeping himself distracted with papers and documents from work. As soon as he got home, he showered, but the blood from the man still stained his shirtm which he threw in the washing machine. He imagined the whole scene back in his head, and it never seemed to leave his mind no matter how he tried. The fire, the dead body, the man showing no emotion... he wasn't sure what to think. One thing for sure, he wasn't going to go out often, unless he absoultely needed to.
The next day, he was on his way to work, taking a different route away from that alley where the man was killed in a fire. For this work day, he had to leave extra early, at 3 am and be there by 3:30 am, and there weren't very many people around. It was quiet, the cold breeze blowing at his face as he walked. The silence scared him. Next, he heard foot steps, looking all around him, and there was nothing. He started to walk faster, until he saw a shadow quickly move out of his peripheral vision. "Who's there?" he asked.

"Hello again, good sir." said Edward. "Don't worry, I won't kill you today. You'll only die today if you don't give me all of your money." A sharp blade grew from his hand. "I'd like to get a nice career started up in this world too. But I'm gonna need money to purchase all of the provisions.".

"No fucking way!" Charlie snapped. He aimed a punch for the man's nose as quickly and hard as he could, then began running towards the direction of work. He looked back to see if the man was catching up to him and he increased his speed to the fastest his feet could carry him. Charlie turned onto another street and went into an alley where he hid himself behind a dumpster, hoping the man wouldn't find him, and being very stealthy and quiet...

The punch didn't faze Edward in the slightest, as he hardened his face instinctively before Charlie had connected. "Well, the bastard gets to die now." he said as he ran off in the direction that Charlie ran. He entered the alley where Charlie was. "Alright, man. If you don't show yourself, I'm just going to start slicing this place apart! My metal's harder and sharper than anything here." Blades grew from both of his hands and his legs.

Charlie knew it was futile. He jumped onto the dumpster and climbed up a pipe to apartment stairs, then up to the top of the building. He was terrified, and he began running as quickly as he could, jumping across building by building... until it was too far to jump to the next.

Edward shot sharp blades from his fingers and knees and began climbing up the walls chasing Charlie. He too jumped from roof to roof until he had Charlie cornered. "I'm a very persistent fellow," Edward said.
"Now, you have one of three options. 1) Give me all of your money and anything else of value you have, 2) be killed by me, or 3) join me. I personally prefer the second one, but because no elite members of my crew have arrived here yet, I'll need assistance." He grabbed Charlie and held a blade at his throat.

"..Join you? I would never join you! Fine, fuck, take my fucking money! Leave me the hell alone!" Charlie yelled. He took out his wallet, grabbed the money in it, and pressed his money-filled hand against the man's chest angrily.

"Thank you, good sir." said Edward, taking the money. "One more thing..." he said, walking away. "If you can't learn to fight for yourself, you're boned in this place." The pirate turned around and walked back to Charlie and burned his cigar into Charlie's face.

"Gah!" he yelled, rubbing his burning nose. 'Fight for yourself, one thing... fight against some... whatever the hell he is with those spikes on his body?' he thought to himself angrily. He sighed, rubbing his nose a little more. He began to make his way down the building and then made his way to work. He hoped he could concentrate in his work that day... being in the confusing emotional state he was in.
"Fuckin cigar..." he said on the way to work.

"Hello again." said Acero as he took his cigar in for another drag. He grabbed Charlie by the throat. "I thought long and hard about that whole 'join me' business, and I came to a decision..." Edward shot a blade from his forearm and held it at Charlie's throat. "Until my crew arrives, you will join me, or perish." he snarled.
