His father Jerome works for the government and his mother Alice works as a real-estate agent so his parents are well off enough to send him to a good college. Unfortunately all he does most of his time is play video games, read manga or watch anime, as he doesn''t know what to do with his life, but there is a reason for this. When Miles was younger he was smarter than the rest of the kids in his class and easily aced all his tests and school work so his parents took him to test his IQ, when they did the they found that his IQ was higher than 300 which shocked them. The person with the highest IQ ever recorded is William James Sidis with a score between 250 and 300, The list continues as follows with the highest possible IQ: Terence Tao with an IQ score between 225 and 230, and Marilyn Vos Savant with and IQ score of 228, and now Miles surpassed them all. His parents were ecstatic and happy for their son as they knew he would become someone very important for the world depending on what field of study he would pursue in the future whether it be medical or scientific. At first Miles was very happy as well but as soon as the media got word of his IQ score they inflated the new to a ludicrous level. The media started call him the next Newton, Einstein, Hawking and many more such names. Multiple people of different well known schools contacted Jerome and Alice about their son and offered full rides to there own respective schools, and many research facilities reached out offered the boy a job after he graduated collage; if he was in their field of research of course. The pressure of these things quickly weighed on the family of three, so they changed their last name to Marson and moved away. Eventually the world forgot about the potential "boy genius" and moved on to the next big story. Unfortunately the academics of the world did not forget so easily so they searched and searched in an attempt to find them but couldn''t. The reason that they couldn''t find them is because, Jerome with his connections he made in the government, were helping hide his family until the people forgot about them. As this was happening the boy in question was in his own world of what if''s. ''What if my IQ wasn''t so high'', ''what if I didn''t pass all my school work with perfect marks'', ''What if I just kept it hidden'' and keep it hidden he did. At the time he was 9 years old so for the next 8 years he made himself inconspicuous to the rest of the world, at first it was hard because he was a handsome kid growing up, so to hide this fact he his his face with thick glasses and long hair; and only got above average in his studies until he graduated high school. The morning after his high school graduation he was lying down on his bed relaxing, he was reading the latest chapter of one piece in Japanese. He didn''t want to wait for a translator to translate the different asian media he consumed, so he just learned the Japanese, Chinese and Korean for the different things he watched/read, it was extremely easy with his intelligence. As he was reading his mother knocked on his bedroom door and said "Miles can you com downstairs your father and I would like to speak to you". Miles replied "Sure mom, just let me finish this chapter first". "Alright" she said as she walked back downstairs. Miles quickly finished the chapter and got up from relaxation and proceeded to walk towards his door, open it and walk downstairs to the living room which his parents were sitting in. As he walked towards them he wondered what they wanted to talk to him about. He didn''t need to wait long to know because as soon as he sat down in front of them his father asked "Miles what do you want to do with your life?" As soon as Jerome said that Miles was ready to go back to room but his mother held him back down and said "Miles you are one the smartest people in the world and you can do alot to help this world or you can be a grade school teacher for all we care; but remember it doesn''t matter what it is do as long as it makes you happy then we will fully support you". she said with a gentle smile on her face. "But I don''t want people to look at me like i''m some real life Tony Stark" Miles said. Ironically though he could easily build an iron man suit and A.I like J.A.R.V.I.S if he wanted to, as he already mastered the computer science and engineering for it when he was 13. "Maybe some fresh air would help you clear you head" his father said as he and his wife stood up. "We haven''t been to the cabin up north in a few years so why don''t we all take a nice vacation for a mouth or two there". This tie it was Miles'' mother who spoke with excitement in her voice. Miles on the other hand had terror written on his face as he stuttered in a scared voice "bu-but there i-is no WiFi in the cabin h-how am I supposed to watch anime or read new chapters of manga?" His mother looked at him, smiled and said "you watch and read to much anime and manga, so consider this a suspension from them for a while. Miles quickly calmed down and said in the most serious voice he could "You know what you two should go with out me; you haven''t had any time alone since I was born; why don''t you go enjoy yourselves while I will watch the house while your gone" he finished with a handsome smile on his face that could melt any woman''s heart including his mothers, he knew he how handsome he was and used it to his advantage here. Unfortunately this does not work on his father. His father said in a firm tone "you''re coming with us end of discussion, now go pack your stuff we are leaving at 3; we should be able to get there around 7 with the traffic". Miles just dropped his shoulders and walked bad to his room to pack his stuff as he knew he would not be able to win this argument, even if he got into a real fight with his father he was sure he couldn''t beat him. His father had been teaching him how to fight since he was 5 years old and even now at 17 he still couldn''t beat the old man. When Miles finished packing and went back downstairs his parents were already outside loading the SUV with all the stuff they will need including the old canoe that was in the garage. Miles walked outside locked the door behind him and put his bags in the trunk then helped his father fasten the canoe to the roof of the SUV, once they were finished they both got in the car with Alice and started their commute to the cabin up north. Alice looked back at her son in the back seat smiled and said "Don''t worry Miles you will have fun there and it will help you think about what you want to do with your life". Miles smiled at his mother as well then laid back in his seat, put some headphone on and picked a rock playlist on his phone and slowly fell asleep to the sounds of Breaking Benjamin not knowing what was about to happen him. "Wake him up" said the annoyed voice of a man to a beautiful women who was standing next to him while he sat in his chair. "Yes sir, Right away sir!" she said in a voice indicating she was scared of the man beside her. She quickly went towards the teenager who was sleeping on a couch in front of them and shook the teen awake. As Miles woke up from a pleasant dream about him getting it on with a hot anime girl he was surprised to find out that it was not one of his parents waking him, but and extremely beautiful women with a scared look on her face. Miles quickly got up and looked at his surroundings with a puzzled look on his face. He was in a modern looking office without windows and only one white door, a white desk, a few white chairs and white couch. Behind the desk was a man who looked to be in his late forties or early fifties. The women who woke Miles up was now standing behind the man just to the man''s left. Miles had read enough Fan-fics to know what was happening but he was scared to confirm it with the other two people in the room. He steeled his nerves and asked in a slow voice "Am I de-" before he could finish his sentence he was interrupted by the man behind the desk who raised his hand in front of Miles gesturing for him to stop. The man then said in a very calming voice "I know you have a lot of questions and i know you''re scared but first take a seat and try to relax and I will explain everything that is going on and what will happen afterwards". Miles sat down in front of him and somehow relaxed. "I am God, the women standing behind me is an angel, and unfortunately as you have already guessed you died. Miles tried to process the information that was given to him but the only thing he could think was ''why does he look Chuck Sherley from Supernatural'', "The reason I look like Chuck Shurley is because you most associate that character with me so I took this form to make you feel more comfortable. Feel free to call me Chuck if you prefer and before you ask, yes I can read your mind I am God after all". Miles was going to ask how he knew what he was thinking but after hearing that he shut his mouth and waited for an explanation from "Chuck". "Chuck" smiled and started to explain what happened. "You and your parents were in a car accident, a drunk driver ran a red light and t-boned your vehicle. You and your father were killed on impact and your mother was rushed to a nearby hospital but the doctors could not resuscitate her. This is where the problem lies. You were not meant to die. In fact you were supposed to be the one rushed to the hospital, where you would have been treated for minor fractures and a few broken bones. This is also where you would have met and fell in love with your future wife who just started working there as a new nurse. Afterwards you were meant to honour your parents memory by making the world a better and safer place by ushering in a new age of science and technology, curing a few diseases along the way". With every world "Chuck" spoke Miles'' eyes dimed as he felt his existence become a failure, but he still wanted to know why he died. "If I was meant to survive then why am I here?". "Chuck" did not answer Miles but instead glared at the angel behind himself and said in angry voice"tell him". Hearing the tone and facing a glare from the most powerful being in existence would make anyone crumble. She quickly bowed her head to the teenager in front of her and apologized profusely and reintroduced herself. "My name is Chloe and I am your guardian angel it was my fault you died" the now named Chloe said in a apologetic tone. "The reason you died is because i got distracted for a moment by a another angel that came into my office at the time, so I wasn''t able to act quick enough to protect you from the crash. Originally your father''s car was meant to swerve and only affect the people in the front seats not kill you in the back. Miles glared at the angel with fury in his eyes but calmed down after a few seconds after realizing getting angry would do nothing to help him in this situation. "So what happens now" he said in a monotone voice. "Chuck" smiled ad t the boy''s maturity and said "you have a few choices". "1. You could go to heaven with your parents. 2. You could be reincarnated into a random world or world of your choosing and timeline . Miles thought about his parents and about what they would want him to do, if they knew he had the chance to live again they would probably want him to live on and do something great with himself so he made his decision but to pick either 2 or 3 but he still had a few questions. "If I pick the second or third option will I keep my memories and what is the difference transmigration and reincarnation? "The difference is that if you reincarnate you will be reborn as a baby with new parents and a random appearance with no memories. If you choose to transmigrate you will be transported to a random or chosen place and you will be able to create or keep your appearance and you will also keep your memories" After "Chuck" finished speaking; Miles didn''t like the fact that if he choose to be reborn he wouldn''t keep his memories and would have new parents, even though he knew that these new parents would love him he would still not be able to call them mom and dad as his real parents were already gone. So he went with option 3, specifically he wanted to go to a world he knew like the back of his hand. The reason for this is because if he picked a random world in some random place he could possibly be sent to some sort of cultivation, fantasy, or technology advanced world where he could be killed at any moment if he did not have strength to survive. "I pick option 3, I want to be transmigrated in One Piece on Conomi Islands 10 Years before Luffy sets sail". Miles said with a smile on his face. "Alright then pick your wishes, you get three and they can be anything you want" said "Chuck". "Anything I want?" Miles asked with a look of suspicion on his face. "Anything you want" "Chuck" said as to reaffirm the teen. Miles then went into deep thought, as he only had three wishes he had to make them count. He sat there for a good 30 minutes thinking of what to wish for, once he was finished thinking he stated his wishes. "1. I want a power system that will let me do and buy anything from any piece of fiction or nonfiction on earth". "Okay" "Chuck" said. "2. I want and infinite amount of system currency." "Smart with that you can buy anything you want at anytime, I like it. Granted". "Chuck" once again said with amicable smile on his face. "3. Finally, I want a high charm stat that will make it easier for girls fall for me "Done". "Now that your wishes have been granted let''s talk about what you will look like in your new life". "Just make me look like my old self but I would like to be 8 years old when I arrive there". Miles said with a gleeful smile on his face. "Alright, then this is goodbye and not to sound like a d.i.c.k, but I hope I don''t see you again for long time". "Chuck" said as he snapped his fingers and Miles started to fade away in a white flash. When Miles disappeared the atmosphere in the white office became tense as "Chuck" began to fade back into his true form, that of a humanoid being of pure Golden light. "Take a seat Chloe" God said in an angry voice. Chloe quickly sat in the chair adjacent to God with fear in her eyes. This was not the first time she messed. The first time she accidently let Jesus die and quickly God had to step in to resurrect him, luckily at the time the world was not as advanced as it is now and people thought is was a a miracle from God; which it was. The second time she messed up, Hitler was allowed to be born and we all know what happened after that. This time she let someone who was supposed to affect the world in a positive way for generations to come die. The only thing going through her mind was ''I hope he doesn''t erase my existence'' as she trembled, scared of what was going to happen to her. ==== pat.reon.com/GHOSTS27 Chapter 2 - What the hell is this? There was a bright flash in a wooded area on Conami Island, when the bright light died down a young boy was revealed lying on the ground unconscious. It was noon and nobody was around to see the light which was good for the as people would have thought he was a freak if they knew where he had come from. The boy slowly opened his eyes and sat up, as soon as he did he heard a voice in his head. {Installing system please wait...10%...37%...69%...94%...100% system installation complete, hello Miles}. Miles had a puzzled look on his face, not because of the system in his head he obviously knew it was from his wish. The reason why he was confused was because he had heard this voice before. "Chole is that you"? Miles asked. {Yes!} Chloe answered in a cheerful voice. "Why are you here?, and in my system no less? {First off. I''m not there; i''m sitting in my office in heaven. And to answer your second question. I''m not in your system. I am the system...kind of}. "What does that mean" Miles asked even though he could guess the answer. {It means I will be the voice of your system and help you throughout your life until the day you die again and are sent to heaven} she said in a once again cheerful voice. He didn''t know why she sounded so happy but it pissed him off, so he asked "why are you so happy?" {Its because after you left I was scolded for a full hour, demoted and was forced to cut off all contact with other angles until such a time that my boss says otherwise}. "...I''m still not hearing why you would be so happy". {Well I''m not dead right? Father could have just erased my existence or sent me to hell with my older brother Lucifer, but he didn''t}. "Oh thats why... wait father... Bother?" {Yes. All angels are children of god and are siblings.... actually now that I think about it Lucifer might still be in L.A. i''m not sure if Amenadiel was able to bring him back yet}. "So i''m stuck with the voice of the person who got me killed; in my head for the rest of my life?" {Well, when you put it like that you make me sound like the bad guy}. "YOU ARE THE BAD GUY; YOU GOT ME KILLED!" he screamed at the top of his lungs with is pent up fury boiling over. "I''m sorry for yelling at you" {You have every right to be angry at me}. "No I don''t, i''m not really angry at you or the fact I died. Im angry at the fact I won''t be able to see my family anymore. I know I could have wished them back to life to be here with me but I also know that this is not a world they would have liked to live in, so I didn''t". Miles started to cry once again over the loss of his parents, he was a very m.a.t.u.r.e person but at the same time he was still only 17 when he died. Miles grieved for awhile but knew he couldn''t lay there forever and do nothing especially with what was to happen the future. He needed to plan for the future but first he needs to know where he was, Miles knew he was at Conomi Islands but which one? There are at least twenty different communities in this archipelago. "Chloe where exactly am I". {Give me a moment and I will scan the area around you in a 10 Km radius}. A few moments later she gave him an answer {You are on Conomi islands, about a 15 minute walk from Cocoyasi Village}. "I see" he said while rubbing his chin with his right hand. When he did this action he finally noticed how small his hands were and how everything around him was so much bigger then he was used to. When he fist got here he was to busy talking to Chloe that he failed to notice but now he felt a little uncomfortable being a kid again. He also now noticed he has been n.a.k.e.d the entire time. "*Sigh*". Miles Sighed as the annoyance he just felt faded. "Can I buy clothes from the system store?" {You can buy whatever you like}. "Okay, buy me some clothes so I don''t need to walk around n.a.k.e.d, i''m starting to get cold". {I can''t do that}. "Why? You just said i could". {For me to access the system, you must first activate it. Its already been bound to you so all you need to do is say activate system}. "*Sigh* activate system". As soon as he finished his sentence a blue transparent screen popped up in front of him. The screen looked like this. - Status - Inventory - Lottery Miles tried to click store on the blue screen but his hand just went right through it. {You need to select what you want by saying or thinking what category you want to use. To go back just say or think "Back" and to close the system interface just say or think "Close", I can also access the store and your inventory for you if you don''t have the time to do it yourself; for example if you are in battle or are just being lazy}. Miles tested it out by saying "inventory" aloud. Soon his blue transparent screen changed to a grey solid screen with hundreds of small empty boxes and a scroll wheel on the right side. (A/N. Minecraft creative inventory) Miles then tested out the other user option and thought ''store'' in his head. Suddenly a massive red transparent list of things appeared in front of his eyes. The list covered everything from small things like cans of pepsi, to massive thing like the empire state building. He quickly bought a some grey boxers, a purple t-shirt, black shorts and some black and white converse shoes, he also bought a small mirror which was deposited into his inventory. "From now on Chloe, you''re in charge of the store and my inventory". {Why?} {...Lazy}. "Hey, i''m the one who going to be doing all the heavy lifting here and you get to sit in your office watch all the fun. All I ask is that you buy me stuff from the system store and help sort my inventory. It''s easy right? Miss guardian angel who got me killed". {...You''re going to hold that over me forever aren''t you?} "Yep" {*Sigh* Fine}. She said in a defeated tone. "Okay, give my that mirror I bought". After he said that a small mirror appeared in his right hand. It was about as big an ipad and had no frame. He looked at his reflection and was surprised at what he saw. He was still very short as this new body of his was only 8 years old but the appearance of his face is what shocked him. He looked like a young handsome version of archer from fate/stay night, the only difference being his hair was black instead of white and his skin was a bit darker, also that it was smoother than a new born baby''s. "When I wished for a charm stat I didn''t think he would just make me good looking, not that complaining of course". Miles said while admiring his new appearance in the mirror. As he was wondering how dashing he would look once his body hits puberty, Chloe interrupted his thoughts. {He didn''t just make you good looking he also made it so that when you are around people of the opposite gender your body will unconsciously release a special type of pheromones that will attract women to you}. Miles was on cloud nine thinking about all the women in one piece he will get with this, when he suddenly remembered a certain type of people in this world that made him shiver. He asked Chloe in a shaky voice "w-will these pheromones affect people who changed their s.e.x to become a woman?" Chloe immediately knew who he was talking about a chucked at the thought of him meeting them. {Hehe...No, anyone who was not born a woman will not be affected by the pheromones even if there current s.e.x is female. So if you do meet an okama in the future they will only think you are good looking and that''s all.} Miles felt like a large weight was lifted of his shoulders. He didn''t mind being around okama''s but he sure as hell wasn''t becoming one. He didn''t swing that way nor did he have a hobby of cross-dressing. "Fine, fine. Don''t rush me women". He also said in a joking manner. Miles was becoming fast friends with the second voice in his head, but he didn''t mind as he never really had a chance to make real friends in his previous wold because of his "situation". Miles the said out loud "lottery" and a large multi-coloured wheel appeared in front of him. Above the wheel was a white arrow that was pointing to a space on the wheel and just below the wheel was a button that said "spin 10,000PP". (A/N. Wheel of fortune) Miles was tempted to spin the wheel but before he did he noticed something odd. The only thing written on the panels in the wheel were the names fictional characters. Some name he recognized like Alucard or Goku, but some names like Richard rider he did not. "Chloe why are there only character names on the lottery wheel? I thought that I would be able to get some sort of rare power or unknown devil fruit from it." {For someone with such a high IQ, you sure are dense sometimes.} "HEY!" Before Miles could complain about his guardian angel''s rude remark she continued her sentence annoying him in the process. {Your first wish was a power system that would let you buy anyTHING from the store. So why would there be anyTHING that you could buy in the store on the lottery wheel?} She purposely emphasized "thing" twice to get the point across. "So you''re saying that I can''t buy the living from the store but I can get them from the lottery right?" "Wait a second. When I was looking through the store for clothes I saw many different medical herbs that were still alive, why is that?" {That''s because plants are not sentient so they count as "things" and can be bought.} "Oh". He said understanding what she meant. {Now let me explain how the lottery works. If you spin the wheel you will be can be rewarded with two different types of summon cards, a grey summon card or a black summon card. The grey summon is temporary and will only last until the timer on back of the card runs out. A black summon card on the other hand is permanent and will last until the summon dies or the summoner folds the card and says "unsummon". Both types of summons will be completely loyal and will follow any and all orders given.} Miles liked the idea of being able to summon different characters from fiction but something was still bugging him about it. "If I summoned for example Superman, would he be taken from his universe just to be placed here and work for me against his will?" {No. All of the summons are copies of their originals. They are basically like clones with same personalities as the originals, the only difference is that they will be completely loyal to you.} "Awesome". Miles said with a giddy smile on his face, he was now very tempted to immediately use the lottery right now but he calmed himself down and refrained from doing so for now as he still had one more system function to check out. Miles was most excited for what was to come next. He purposefully left it for last because he believed in the saying "save the best for last". Miles stood up straight and said in a loud and giddy voice "Status". Unfortunately what he saw in his status, was not what he expected. His status read like this. Name: N/A Race: Human Age: 8 Strength: D Stamina: D Agility: D Intelligence : S+ Willpower: B+ Luck: B- Charm: A+ (Will go up as he grows) Overall rating: B Power Points: ¡Þ Berries: 0 Abilities/Powers: Wing Chun Lv50(MAX) Vale Tudo Lv50(MAX) Taekwondo Lv50(MAX) Karate Lv50(MAX) Jujitsu Lv50 (MAX) Computer Science Lv50 (MAX) Engineering Lv50 (MAX) Haki: Observation Haki (Locked) Armament Haki (Locked) Conqueror''s Haki (Locked) "What the hell is this?" ==== Join my pat.reon it''s only $2 *******.com/GHOSTS27 Chapter 3 - Power Ratings and Primordials "What the hell is this?" Miles asked Chloe in a confused tone. {I''m going to need you to be a bit more specific for me to answer your question}. "Why does me name say N/A?" {It says that because you''re in a new world, so God and I thought you might want a new name for your new life}. Miles smiled at the gesture Chloe and "Chuck" made for him but there was only one problem. "I like the name my parents gave me and I don''t want to change it". {That''s fine, we just thought you might want to add a certain letter to your name.} When she finished talking it was like a lightning bolt struck in Miles'' head, and he understood what she was hinting at. "Change my name to Miller D. Miles". Chloe immediately accessed the system interface and made the update confirming his new name. As soon as she finished, a clear aura appeared around Miles. "What just happened?" Ever since Miles arrived in this world, his body had felt heavier than usual. At first he just attributed it to a stronger gravitational pull than his previous world. Which in turn, would explain why humans in this world can grow so much bigger and stronger than on earth; but now the only wight he felt was his body mass and the clothes he was wearing. (A/N. The heavier the gravity, the bigger the creature must grow to pump blood through its body) {The universal laws just confirmed your existence and has acquiesced to you being here}. "What would have happened if I didn''t confirm my existence?" {The universal laws would have slowly crushed you to death. And your body and soul would have been ejected out of this plane of existence.} "TELL ME THAT SOONER". He yelled at the voice second in his head. {You had 14 days to do it, and I would have reminded you if you forgot}. She said in a nonchalant tone of voice. Miles picked up on that tone and asked in an slightly angry and annoyed voice. "When exactly were you going to the me". {T-the 13th day?} She answered, trying her hardest not to laugh at the prank she was going to pull on him. {How about I explain the power ratings so you can get a better grasp of where you currently stand in the world?} ''As expected. She completely glossed over it''. "*Sigh*...Fine". He said as he waited for her to explain the ins and outs of his power level. {The ratings go from F- to SSS+. F- being the lowest and SSS+ being the highest. The average child of 8 years ol would have an overall rating of E-. You on the other hand, have higher stats because, even though your body is that of a child; your mind is that of an a.d.u.l.t. An average pirate has an overall rating of D-, while the average pirate captain would have a rating C-.} "So you''re saying i could beat the average pirate captain with ease". He said with a confidant smile on his face. Unfortunately Chloe shot down that confidence with her next words. {No. The overall rating just gives a general idea of strength, if you only focus only on that you will get you will get your a.s.s beat by every enemy you fight. You should be more focused on individual stats, let me give you an example. If you''re fighting an opponent with [strength], [stamina], and [agility] at C; while those same three stats are all at D for you, then you would lose that fight unless you could outthink them with your higher intelligence}. "Oh". Miles was a little disappointed with how weak he was but it didn''t last for long as he knew that with his system, it was only a matter of time until he stood at the pinnacle of this world. "Can you specify what my stats mean then". {Sure! First up, [strength]. Strength is for physical attack, physique and armament haki, The higher your strength stat is the better your power and physical ability will be. You also must have strength of C+ to access armament haki, if you don''t then you can''t use it.} Next is [Stamina]. Stamina is pretty self explanatory, It''s the duration your body and mind can withstand physical and mental activities. It also affects your haki, the higher the better. [Intelligence] is your thinking speed, IQ and perception. It will also speed up jutsu/magic chants if, in the future you have any. [Willpower] is exclusively for your haki. Since you have B+ willpower it will be easier for you to manifest armament and observation haki, and you barely make the cutoff to have conqueror''s haki. [Luck] is for your lottery. The higher it is the better the chances to get a good summons and more good things are likely to happen in your life. [Charm] I already explained. It will eventually max out at SSS+ by the time you are 18. [Power points] are the currency used for the store and lottery. [Berries] are the currency used by this world, and before you ask; no they cannot be bought from the system as that would topple the exchange rate of the world. [Powers/Abilities] are a list of your skills; be it normal like driving, or abnormal like superspeed. [Haki] In simple terms, is an ability to sense and predict spiritual energy (Observation), use life force as physical reinforcement (Armament), and, for the rare "chosen ones", overpower enemies'' willpower with your own (Conqueror''s).} {The system has a few hidden functions as well but I am only allowed to tell you one of them. The rest you will need to find yourself}. {[Fusion]. This function can fuse together any similar powers or abilities. A good example of this would be if you fused together your martial arts skills to make a new skill}. She said with a smile on her face. This function is likely has the most overpowered out of all the others. "HOLY SHIT". Miles was astonished by what she just told him. The reason why was because of the potential this function it showed. "What would happen if I fused devil fruits?" {Unfortunately if they''re not of the same category the fusion would fail}. "Which means I can''t fuse a Logia-type with a Paramecia-type." Miles said, a bit disappointed. He was already imagining different combinations of fruits when she shot down the idea. {On the bright side you can fuse multiple fruits in their own categories together to form a superfruits}. she said in a gentle voice like a big sister trying to cheer up her little brother. Miles picked up on this, but he didn''t mind. Maybe it was he didn''t have any siblings growing up, or maybe it was because Chloe sounded exactly Rebecca from Watchmojo; who''s voice he always found soothing to hear. "Thanks" He said feeling little better. {That''s what i''m here for}. She replied in a light tone as she patted her bountiful c.h.e.s.t. Miles heard the audible thumps of her hand hitting her c.h.e.s.t and couldn''t help but imagine the massive mounds jiggle as they were touched. He had a slightly perverted smile on his face that he didn''t notice but Chloe did. {What''s with that face?} She asked when she saw the face he was making on her monitor as she unconsciously shivered. {Okay?} She didn''t really care to pursue the issue so she let it go and moved on with their talk. ''Alright. Now that I know what my system can do and how powerful I am, I need to plan for the future. I was sent here 10 years before luffy sets sail, which means its 2 years before Arlong shows up here on Conomi islands to f.u.c.k things up. If I tried to fight arlong now, he and his crew would slaughter me. I need to get stronger then then a fishman by the time he arrives or I will be shark bait''. Miles thought as he contemplated what to do next. "Chloe whats the fastest way to upgrade my stats to be on par or stronger the a fishman?" {The fastest way would be to buy a status upgrade coin but I wouldn''t recommend it}. "What is it and why don''t you recommend it?" {A status upgrade coin is an item which when used will upgrade all your stats by 1 rank. The reason I don''t recommend it, is because the coin forcefully ranks up your stats by breaking the universal laws in and around your body to forcefully raise your stats. Not only is it extremely painful but if the user of the coin is not strong enough the universal laws could eject you from this universe.} "....Is there any other options?" Miles asked in a cautious tone. He had just been revived less than an hour ago, he didn''t want to die again so soon. {I suggest spending 10 billion Power Points to change your race to a primordial being. That way you will get a power up, and also some other benefits as well}. "What are these "other benefits" I get from changing my race to a primordial?" Miles was curious about what else he would get from doing this. "The Immortal life span I can understand but what is bloodline absorption-cleansing?} Miles felt like he was asking a lot of questions today. In his previous life, it was him people used to come to him for all the answers. {Bloodline absorption-cleansing is when the secondary or "weaker" bloodline of a person is absorbed, cleansed and integrated into the primary or "stronger" bloodline of said person. For example Cell from Dragon ball had multiple different bloodlines. If he had the bloodline absorption-cleansing ability all of his bloodlines would have been absorbed, cleansed and integrated into his strongest bloodline, that being the saiyan bloodline. He would''ve kept all his other bloodline powers but would have also become a pure blooded saiyan as well}. "Couldn''t I just buy the Bloodline absorption-cleansing ability from the store?" {You could, but it''s an innate ability of primordials so it would be much less effective, you would only be able to use 1/4 of its true power}. "Why is that?" {Think of it like the sharingan of the Uchiha. Many people in the narutoverse have used it but it''s most effective when an uchiha is using it}. "Oh" he said understanding what she meant. Miles only had a few more questions to ask about the procedure. "Will it hurt?" "How much pain will I be in if I do this?" {Imagine a needle being jammed under your fingernails, but it''s over your entire body and you must to be awake for the entire process}. Miles cringed at the thought of suffering he would need to endure for this while weighing the pros and cons. So far, the pros outweigh the cons as he could have an immortal life and buy an infinite amount of bloodlines without looking like a monster in the end. The only thing he need to do was bear the pain. "Alright. I''ll do it" Miles said in a unwavering tone. {Okay, then you should take off everything except your u.n.d.e.r.w.e.a.r}. "Why?" He asked, confused as to why she had a sudden hobby of voyeurism. {If you want those clothes to be ruined then keep them on}. "Why would my clothes be ruined?" He was genuinely curious as to why he needed to be half n.a.k.e.d again. Miles may have been standing in a heavily wooded area, but he was still only a 15 minute walk away Cocoyasi Village. He didn''t want someone to see him the the nude. {A race change breaks down the body on a molecular level and rebuilds it from the ground up. In the process of doing this the body will excrete all the impurities it has built up over the years. Your body is 8 years old now, but it was de-aged from 17 so all the impurities your body has collected for the past 17 years will come rushing out and ruin anything on your body}. "Oh, I see. I will do it now". While Miles was removing his clothes and putting them in his inventory, Chloe bought him three new abilities. [Wash], [Requip] and [Extreme Pain Resistance (upgradable)]. [Wash] was an ability that cleaned the body of the user, a selected person or a selected area. It was very useful for quick and convenient cleaning or if you''re just to lazy to get up and clean manually. [Requip] is for instantly summoning of various types of equipment from his inventory like clothes, weapons and armour. [Extreme Pain Resistance (upgradable)] was just what it sounded like. This skill would nullify the pain to the level Chloe explained earlier so the pain of the race change didn''t brake Miles'' mind in the process. There was a better version of the pain resistance skill, but it couldn''t be bought. It could only be procured through having the [Extreme Pain Resistance (upgradable)] skill and being put thorough extreme amounts of torment to acquire it. Miles laid down on the ground and got ready for what was about to come. {Are you ready?} "Hold on". Miles said as he checked his stats before he switched his race. He wanted to memorize them so he could compare it the the change afterwards, but when he saw the three new skills under the [Powers/Abilities] section he was a bit confused because he knew he didn''t but them. "Chloe why did you buy these?" {They will help you with your race change and just generally in your life}. Miles read the skill descriptions and they would indeed help him in the short term and the long run. Especially the extreme pain resistance. If only he knew how wrong he was. "Okay, i''m ready" {Alright. Now remember you need to stay awake for this, if you fall unconscious the change will fail and your body will be crippled for a long time. Are you sure you''re ready?} Chloe asked, just to be 100 percent positive. "Yes, i''m ready". he spoke in an unshakable voice. {Okay. In 3...2...1...0}. As soon as her countdown reached zero the excruciating pain hit Miles like a truck would hit a japanese teenager. (A/N. Truck-kun is that you?) "AHHHHHHHH". Miles screamed in agony as the atoms in his bones rearranged themselves to make his bones stronger than vibranium, while his red and white muscles were ripped to shreds and remodeled into pink muscles. As this was happening black goo was oozing out of his skin and dying the ground underneath him black. This went on for an hour until his suffering finally ended, and when it did he immediately fell unconscious not even getting a peak at his new status. Once he was asleep Chloe activated [Wash] on Miles and the area in his immediate surroundings, getting rid of any evidence of what just happened to him. She than activated his [Requip] and his clothes reappeared on him. Now all she needed to do was wait for him to wake up. ==== Join my pat.reon it''s only $2 *******.com/GHOSTS27 Chapter 4 - Family of 3 After a few minutes of waiting for Miles to wake up, Chloe heard the sound of a twig snapping. She quickly looked to the source of the sound to find out whether it was a threat to Miles or not. When Chloe surveyed the area surrounding Miles she was stunned to see young girl with a book in her hand who looked a bit fatigued. The girl was leaning on a tree to catch her breath and kept looking behind herself, as if to see if anyone was following her. ---- 15 minutes earlier in Cocoyasi Village a certain orange haired girl could be seen standing in a bookstore staring at a navigation book. The price tag for the book is too much for her allowance but she really wanted it. The only solution she could think of to get this book was to steal it. The girl looked around the store and saw that the owner was distracted talking to another customer, so she covertly put the book under her light green sundress and attempted to sneak out. When she observed that the owner wasn''t looking at her and was still speaking to the other person in the store, she walked out the door and hurriedly got as far away from the shop as she could. When the girl was about 20 meters away from the shop she thought that she had successfully completed her mission and was very happy with the result. Sadly for her, reality was cruel. "Hello Nami, what are you doing here?" The voice of a man was heard behind the girl. The girl, now identified as Nami, stopped dead in her tracks and slowly turned her head to see the origin of the voice who spoke. When she did she saw a man in a brown police uniform which had short sleeves and pants, and a matching police hat which for some reason had a pinwheel on top of it. "I-i''m just on my way home Genzo". Nami said quick manner trying not to arouse suspicion from him. Regrettably for her it didn''t work as Genzo had known Nami since she was a baby and could tell when she was trying to hide something. Genzo then noticed the slight bulge under her dress. "What is that and why are you trying to hide it?" Genzo said as he pointed at the thing under her dress. When she was about to lie about what was hidden under her dress a shout was heard from the bookstore which made Genzo turn around to see who was yelling. "Thief! That girl stole my book," Screamed the shop owner as he pointed at Nami. The owner knew she was the thief because only she and the customer he was talking to at the time were in the shop when the book went missing. When Genzo turned back to Nami to scold her about stealing and tell her to return the book, she was already halfway down the street in a full sprint to escape. "NAMI GET BACK HERE!" Genzo shouted as he started to chase after her. "Sorry, I need this, I will pay you back for it....eventually." She yelled back as she ran away from her pursuer. She ran as fast as her legs could go for about 15 minutes and managed to escape into the wooded area near the village. Genzo couldn''t keep up with the agile 8 year old, so he decided to go to her house and speak to her mother while waiting for Nami to return home later. Elsewhere, Nami was trying to catch her breath now that she had escaped and was looking for a place in the woods to read her new navigation book. She walked for a few minutes and found a small clearing with good lighting so she could read in peace. When she got closer to the clearing she stumbled on a branch snapping it in the process. She leaned on a tree to get her bearings and looked around for a suitable spot to relax, that''s when she froze. In the middle of the clearing was the body of a young boy, this boy was obviously Miles. At first she thought he was dead, but when she saw his c.h.e.s.t rising up and down indicating he was breathing she quickly rush up to him to see if he was ok. When Nami arrived at his side to check on him, she was momentarily stunned by his appearance. Nami stared at the boy for a few minutes blushing, until she snapped out of her stunned state and tried to wake Miles up by shaking him, but it didn''t work. She then went on to try many other methods as well, needless to say, they didn''t work either and she was stumped on how to wake him, so the only thing she could do was wait for him to wake up naturally. Nami walked towards a nearby tree, sat down and leaned against it. She opened her navigation book and started to read it while waiting for Miles to wake up. After a few hours of reading and waiting, the sky was starting to get dark. ''If I don''t go home soon Bell-mere and Nojiko will be worried''. Nami thought as she looked up at the darkening sky, she then looked at the still comatose boy in front of her. Miles hadn''t woke up and she didn''t want to leave him in the woods alone at night. Nami walked up to Miles, lifted his arm and put it around her shoulder with the intent on carrying him back to her home. When she did this she was astounded to find that he was so light. ''I thought he would be heavier because he''s bigger than me''. The reason Miles was so light was because of his transformation into a primordial. His bones were denser yet lighter, and his muscles were in a constant state of cellular regeneration, because of the regeneration all of the baby fat a kid his age was meant to have was gone. Nami put her book in her other hand and started to slowly walk home while making sure Miles didn''t fall on his face. After 20 minutes of walking she had made it back to the village and kept walking until a mid-sized tangerine grove came into her view. In the middle of the grove was a small bungalow with beige walls and a maroon coloured roof. Near the house was a relatively slim woman with long fuchsia hair tied in a ponytail, grey eyes, and a rather unique hairstyle similar to a mohawk known as a chelsea hawk. This woman was was Bell-mere, Nami''s adopted mother and the women who raised her and Nami''s adopted sister Nojiko. Bell-mere was currently in the process of picking tangerines off a tree and placing them into a basket she was holding, Bell-mere had her back to Nami and the boy Nami was carrying. Nami attempted to sneak into the house without Bell-mere noticing but was caught because of the noise she was making while dragging Miles'' body. Nami stopped moving and didn''t say anything. "If you really wanted the book we-*thud*". Belle-mere didn''t get to finish her sentence as she dropped the basket she was holding when she turned around and saw her daughter holding up an unconscious boy. "Help" Nami said in exhausted voice. Even though Miles wasn''t too heavy, Nami was still fatigued from carrying him through the woods, village and all the way to the middle of the grove. Belle-mere quickly rushed over and lifted the boy herself. Belle-mere didn''t even notice his lightweight as she used to be a marine, her strength was above the average woman. "Who is this kid, what did you do to him and why is he unconscious?" She asked in a rapid manner. "I didn''t do anything to him. I found him in the woods and I tried to wake him up but nothing worked". Nami said as clear the suspension that she had somehow hurt him. "Okay, help me put him on the couch inside". Bell-mere said as she carried the boy in her arms. As Bell-mere and Nami walked inside the house, Nojiko came out of her room to see what the commotion was about. When Nojiko saw her mother and sister walk in with a kid she was confused as to who he was. "Who is that?" Nojiko asked as she walked towards them. "We don''t know yet. Nojiko, go get Dr. Nako and tell him there''s a patient here". Bell-mere said in a rare serious tone. "Is he okay Dr. Nako?" Nami asked in an anxious voice, she didn''t know why but ever since she found Miles she felt something pulling herself towards him. This was because of the pheromones unconsciously being released from Miles'' body. These were also affecting Bell-mere and Nojiko but to a lesser extent as they have only been around him for a short period of time, but as more time rolls on they will start to fell it more and more. "Other than being a little dehydrated, he''ll be fine. He should wake up by tomorrow morning at the latests." He said whilst getting up and preparing to leave. """*Sigh*""" The three girls sighed in relief that the boy wasn''t hurt. "Thanks coming out here this late Doc." Bell-mere thanked the Dr. Nako as she walked him out. "Its fine I owed you one as payment for all the free tangerines I get." He said with a grin as he left. Now that the situation with Miles is over Nami remembered what Bell-mere said when she arrived home. Nami then tried to slip away unnoticed but Bell-meres immediately caught the strap of her dress. "Where do you think you''re going little miss thief?" "Uhhh to my room?" Bell-mere than went on to lecture Nami about how stealing was wrong and that she shouldn''t do it. Unfortunately for Bell-mere it was like talking to a brick wall, so she just sighed gave up. Bell-mere then made dinner for the girls which was very tangerine heavy and after they ate there food they all went to bed. ---- ''Chloe, where am I and what happened after I fell unconscious?'' Miles asked in his head. {You can relax. If you were in any danger I would have handled it while you were unconscious}. Miles calmed down a bit but was still on alert. ''Okay, but you still haven''t told me where I am or what happened''. Miles said in his head while slowly sitting up. {A few minutes after you were knocked out, an oranged haired girl found you and tried to wake you up. When it didn''t work she brought you back here}. She said with a smile, waiting for Miles'' reaction. ''Orange hair?...Wait Nami found me?'' Miles asked in shock. {Hehehe yep, your future waifu was very concerned about your well being}. Chloe said while chuckling. Chloe had known that Miles wanted a harem so he asked god to be placed in cocoyasi just for the fact that Nami and Nojiko were here. ''Well on the bright side it will be easier to get close to the sisters now that I have made a connection to them''. Miles thought with a smile on his face. {So are you going to look at your new stats or keep purposely procrastinating?} Chloe asked in an impatient tone. ''Okay, okay I''ll check it now''. Name: Miller D. Miles Race: Primordial Age: 8 Strength: B- Stamina: B- Agility: B- Intelligence : S+ Willpower: B+ Luck: B- Overall rating: A+ Power Points: ¡Þ Berries: 0 Abilities/Powers: Wing Chun Lv50(MAX) Vale Tudo Lv50(MAX) Taekwondo Lv50(MAX) Karate Lv50(MAX) Jujitsu Lv50 (MAX) Engineering Lv50 (MAX) Wash Requip Pain Nullification (New) Bloodline Absorption-Cleansing (New) Haki: Observation Haki Armament Haki Conqueror''s Haki All his stats had jumped up to B- other than the ones that were already above that. ''Hmm. I thought my stats would be a bit higher''. Miles thought as he looked at his new stats. {Primordials are not the most powerful race in existence but they do have the potential to become the most powerful, so don''t be ungrateful.} Chloe said in a annoyed voice. ''It''s not like i''m complaining I just thought they would be a bit higher that all, but it doesn''t matter as long as I have the [Blood Absorption-Cleansing].'' Miles then looked at the rest of hid board and found that all his haki was now available to use and he had 2 new abilities. The first ability was the aforementioned [Blood Absorption-Cleansing], and the other was [Pain Nullification]. When Miles saw [Pain Nullification] he got angry remembering that his [Extreme Pain Resistance] didn''t work during his race change. ''Chloe why didn''t my [Extreme Pain Resistance] work while my race was changing?'' He asked in an angry tone. {It did work. The only reason it didn''t completely get rid of the pain was because it wasn''t a strong enough skill yet, but now that it has upgraded because you went through so much pain, it will now completely nullify any and all pain you inflicted on your body}. ''...So you''re telling me the agony I just went through was with the least amount of pain?'' {Yep, If you didn''t have [Extreme Pain Resistance] it would have felt 100x worse}. Miles shivered at the thought at what could feel worse than what he felt. ==== Join my pat.reon it''s only $2 *******.com/GHOSTS27 Chapter 5 - Party, New Skills and New House Now that Miles was done seeing his new stats he started to look around the house he was in. The house was nice and cozy, there was a small kitchen with counter that you could sit at like a bar and a small table in the middle of the room fit for four people. All in all it felt like a home, but it was also a bit rundown. There were small cracks leading up the walls, some of the floorboards creaked as you stepped on them, you could see a broken window letting cold night air into the room and the front door looked aged with rusty hinges and peeling paint. The entire door looked like it needed to be replaced. ''Maybe I should help fix this place up before the girls wake up, but how?'' Miles asked himself as he shivered and started rubbing his hands together because of the chilly night air. When he did this action he suddenly stopped as remembered one of the greatest manga/anime ever created. ''Chloe buy me all the books as well as research related to alchemy and alkahestry from Fullmetal alchemist series. Also buy me the transmutation ability of Edward Elric and an artificial philosopher''s stone as well'' {Do you want physical copies of the books or would you like it downloaded directly to your brain?} ''Why would I want to read physical copies if I could have all the information beamed directly into my head?'' Miles asked out of curiosity. {Physical copies of any type of book or research can be shared to people who have a similar status board to yours}. ''.....Huh?... How can somebody else in this world have a status board? Unless I could invite People into some kind of party....Wait a minute-''. Before Miles could finish his thought, the sound of a bell ringing and Chloe''s voice interrupted his train of thought. {*DING* Congratulations Miles, you have discovered the hidden system function [Party]. The [Party] function allows you to invite people you deem worthy to a party and gives them a status board which shows them their Name, Race, Ratings, Powers/Abilities and Haki. This also allows you to buy them one skill from the store. Furthermore people who are in contact with a book or any written material are able to download the contents directly into their brain''s.} ''Alright back on topic, I can''t do anything with the [Party] function until I put my crew together so for now I will ignore it. ''Chloe download all the alchemy information into my brain and give me the stone''. {Roger that.} Suddenly a ring with a red gem embedded in it was placed into his inventory and all the information about alchemy and alkahestry was rammed into Miles'' head, there was no doubt that if he didn''t have [Pain Nullification] ability this would hurt. When the info stopped flowing into Miles head he felt a little dizzy but other than that he was fine. ''Okay let''s get started'' Miles thought as he took the ring out of his inventory and put it on. He walked over to the front door, clapped his hand together and then put them on the door. Once he did that red sparks of lightning surrounded his hands and the door as the door and it''s rusty hinges was transformed to look as good as new, he did the same to anything else that needed repairs in the house as well. The only thing he did not repair was the broken window which he left for later. When Miles was finished he looked out the window and noticed it was still dark outside so he sat back down on the couch and finally started to plan for the future. ''First thing i''ll need is training. I need master my powers if I want to have any fun here, if I just go around destroying my opponents with one hit, it would be so boring. Next thing I need is a crew, and I already have a few in mind''. {Who are you going to pick?} Chloe asked curiously. ''Nami as my navigator, Nojiko as my gunner, Sanji as the chef/fighter, and Zoro and Kuina as our swordsmen ''. {The others I understand but why Nojiko as a gunner? She was never shown to use guns or any weapons for that matter}. ''Chloe, is there a portable hyperbolic time chamber and if there is, can it modified?'' {There is and it can be}. ''Buy it and modify it so will have gravity control and so that anyone who goes in will temporarily have eternal youth for the duration of the time they are inside, also put in combat puppets to spar against. Furthermore put in a house that is stocked with an unlimited supply of food, senzu beans and other daily necessities.'' {Done. The door to the chamber has been put into your inventory and can be placed anywhere and moved at anytime. Anything else?} ''Buy me all martial arts and ever created, from all worlds. Can my skills be leveled with my power points?'' {If the skill is labeled (upgradable) or the skill is a fused skill then no, the only way to level/upgrade these skills is through repeated use, anything else can be leveled with points}. ''Good, then max out all my martial arts and then fuse all my combat related skills''. {Done}. Now that Miles had enough ordinary combat abilities and a place to train them, it was time for something extraordinary, but first he needed something. ''Chloe is there a skill that will allow me to break the curse of devil fruits?'' ''Buy it then show me a list of devil fruits'' Miles said with an excited grin on his face. {Which category?} ''Logia''. Soon a massive list of of logia devil fruits appeared in front of him, some of them he knew like the flame-flame fruit, some he didn''t like the wood-wood fruit. ''Chloe buy me the Flame-Flame fruit, Magma-Magma fruit, Ice-Ice fruit, Wind-Wind fruit, Sand-Sand fruit, Rumble-Rumble fruit, Wood-Wood fruit, Metal-Metal fruit, Space-Space fruit, Dark-Dark fruit, and Glint-Glint fruit, than fuse them all together''. {Okay but, all of these fruits are extremely powerful, so it will take a bit of time to fuse them all}. ''How long?'' Miles asked hoping it wouldn''t take too long {5 hours and 30 minutes}. ''Is there anyway to speed it up?'' {Unfortunately not.} Chloe said a bit apologetic about how long the fusion would take. ''Alright, start the fusion. Also, buy me the cooking skills of Joichiro Yukihira along with all of his recipes and some ingredients for breakfast''. Miles said. He was going to make breakfast as a thank you for letting him rest in their house. {Okay, the fusion has started and the ingredients have been placed into your inventory}. ''Thanks Chloe'' Miles said as he got up and walked to the kitchen. {No Problem}. She said in a lively tone. Once Miles was standing in the kitchen he took out the ingredients from his inventory and placed them on the counter, he was planning on making bacon, eggs and pancakes. ---- Bell-mere, Nojiko and Nami all woke up at the same time to the smell of something heavenly. The three of them walked out there respective bedroom doors and immediately went wide eyed when they saw the state of their home. Everything from the creaky floors to the cracked walls were fixed, their old house looked as good as new. When they were still wondering what happened to their house, the girls heard the sound of humming and turned their attention to the scene of a boy who was about the same age as Nami, wearing headphones humming a song while putting a few plates of food on the table. (A/N. AFI - Beautiful Thieves) """You''re awake!""" said the three girls at the same time. "I am, and I know you have a lot of questions, and I do as well but before that we should eat. We don''t want the food to get cold do we?" Miles said with a charming smile that made Nami and Nojiko blush. Bell-mere on the other hand was didn''t notice his smile because she was to busy staring at the food on the table. She had been eating nothing but tangerines for almost a year now in an effort to save money so that she could buy Nami new clothes instead of giving her Nojiko''s hand me downs. All four of them sat down at the table and began to eat their breakfast. "This is the best food i''ve ever had!" Nojiko said with tears in her eyes. "Ahhh" Bell-mere let out a quiet m.o.a.n after tasting the food which Nojiko and Nami did not hear, but it didn''t escape Miles'' ears. Miles had a satisfied smile on his face while eating his own food, he had honestly underestimated the flavour of food made with the skill level of Joichiro Yukihira. When they finished their food Bell-mere washed the dishes and sat back down at the table with Nami and Nojiko to start asking the boy questions. "Let me introduce myself, my name is Bell-mere and these are my daughters Nojiko and Nami" She said while pointing at a blue haired girl and then an orange haired girl respectively. Bell-mere then went on to explain how Nami had found him in the woods and brought him back here. Even though Miles already knew all of this he didn''t tell them as it would be odd if he knew what happened to him while he was unconscious, so he just sat there and listened quietly until Bell-mere was finished. Once she was done Miles thanked Nami for helping him, but she didn''t answer him as she was to mesmerized by his looks to say anything. "So, what is your name and why were you unconscious in the in the woods?" Bell-mere asked in a gentle tone. "My name is Miller D. Miles and I was in the woods because I was testing the limits of my devil fruit powers, I went a bit overboard and fell unconscious." Miles couldn''t tell them why he was really there so he would just make something up it would also help him explain how he fixed their house. "Devil fruit! I thought devil fruits were just a myth" Nojiko said in surprise. "I can assure you they are very real, here I will show you. Miles said while standing up and walking to the still broken window. The girls followed him to see what he would do and were stunned to see what happened next. Just like earlier he clapped his hands together and held them over the broken window, once he did red sparks covered his hands and the window was fixed at a rapid rate. When he was finished he turned around and chucked at shocked their expressions, after 5 minutes of processing what they had just witnessed, they calmed down and started taking again. "Thank you for repairing our home, and making us breakfast Miles. Please tell me if there is anything we can do to repay you" Bell-mere said. "What about your parents, they would be worried by now if you don''t go home soon?" Bell-mere asked with a look of concern. "I''m an orphan, my parents died a few days ago in a shipping accident. He said with a sad look on his face. That look made three girls want to hug him and not let go, which is exactly what they did. "You can stay here as long as you need" Bell-mere said and both Nojiko and Nami nodded their heads in agreement. Once they let go of Miles after about 10 minutes all three girls had a blush on their faces. Even Bell-mere had finally noticed hoe good looking Miles was and was wondering how handsome he would be in the future. ''Ahh. What am I thinking, he''s just a kid.'' Bell-mere said in her head as she tried to compose herself. "Anyway Miles, if you are going to stay here you will need to sleep on the sofa. We don''t have another room here so if you''re okay with that then everything will be settled." Bell-mere said. "That''s fine, but if you would like I can use my devil fruit remake the entire house so as to make it bigger and better" Miles said. ""You can do that!"" Nami and Nojiko asked at the same time with sparkles in their eyes. The two girls had always shared a room and even though they were fine with it they always wanted their own. Now that they had the opportunity to get their own they were ecstatic. "If you can do it then by all means." Bell-mere said as happy as her daughters. "Great! Then will you all follow me outside and I will get started. ''Chloe buy me the materials I need to make this house a fortress.''" {You got it.} Chloe bought the materials that would make the new house so strong that not even an Emperor would be able to destroy it. Once they were all outside Miles took the materials out of his inventory and started to rebuild the house using his alchemy. In a matter of minutes an entirely new house stood where the old one did. It looked completely different with the only thing that stayed the same was the colour scheme. They all walked back inside and Miles started explaining what was new. "The house has 5 bedrooms one for each of us plus a guest, all with their own walk in closets and their own bathrooms. The downstairs has a kitchen a dining room, a living room and a bathroom and finally there is a bas.e.m.e.nt for storage. So, what do you think?" Miles said as he looked at the girls. All three of them rushed to hug him. """We love it""" They all said together. When they let go of Miles they all went to claim their rooms and Miles went to the bas.e.m.e.nt. Once he was in the bas.e.m.e.nt he walked to one of the walls and pulled out his portable hyperbolic time chamber and placed the door against the wall letting the door sink into the wall. After Miles was done setting up the chamber he went back upstairs to the living room and sat down on the couch. He didn''t want to start training until his devil fruits finished fusing so instead he was going to try his lottery. He opened the lottery and clicked spin hoping to get someone useful. ==== Join my pat.reon it''s only $2 *******.com/GHOSTS27 Chapter 6 - Into the Chamber Miles watched the lottery wheel spin and spin, going through thousands of characters a minute. Eventually the wheel started to slow down. When the wheel stopped he was pissed off at who he got. ''What the hell is this!? I thought my luck was above average so why did I get him? He is not even the good version.'' He thought annoyed. Miles was mad because the summon he got was Chucky from the Child''s play franchise, specifically he got the 2019 remake version. {Your luck may be above the average person, but to get a really good summon you will need luck of at least A-} ''Is there anything in the store that can raise my luck?'' {There are two ways. The first way is to buy a the coin necklace, they have been worn throughout history to bring luck and good fortune to the wearer. The system version will increase your luck over a long period of time eventually maxing it out SSS+ but that will take years, it''s also customizable in appearance. The second way is to buy a slice of lucky bread. Lucky bread will temporarily increase your luck by 2 ranks for five minutes but the drawback is that once the time runs out your luck will go down a full 1 rank.} ''So if I use the lucky bread my luck will drop to C-, but if I use the coin necklace my luck will go up but it will take years to do so.'' Miles was in a dilemma. He didn''t want his luck to go down but he also didn''t want to wait years for his luck to go up just so he could get a good summon. Then he got an idea. ''Will the coin necklace work in the time chamber?'' he asked with hope in is voice. {I''m not sure, but you can try.} {Okay, I put them in your inventory.} Miles put the necklace, than ate the luckey bread. After eating the bread he checked his stats to see if it worked and it did. His luck stat now said S- with a five minute countdown beside it. ''Okay, let''s try this again.'' Miles said to himself as he reopened his lottery and clicked spin. The wheel started to slow down and when it finally stopped he was elated to see who he got. ''YES! I got Whis, he will be great for training me and the others in combat. It sucks that he is only temporary though''. Miles was happy but at the same time sad, he wanted a strong permanent summon but this was fine too since Whis'' summon time was 2 years. ''I still have a few minutes left on my luck timer, I will spin again.'' Miles spun the wheel again and got another 2 year grey summon, this time it was Floyd Lawton A.K.A Deadshot from dc comics. ''Not bad, Deadshot will be perfect for training Nojiko in marksmanship. I still have 2 minutes left, it''s enough for at least two spins''. Miles quickly spun the wheel and waited for it to stop. He was hoping for something good and as he watched the wheel slowly came to a stop he was shocked to see what it was. It was his third 2 year grey card in a row but that wasn''t what shocked him, what shocked him was who he got. ''Gol D. Roger!?'' {Wow. It''s extremely rare to summon someone from the same world you are in, but I guess since he is already dead here, your chances went up.} ''Cool, he will be the best for training us in haki but I will need to hide his face so nobody knows who he is. I can''t have the most famous man in the world who is supposed to be dead, just walking around town.'' While Miles was thinking about this, Chloe''s voice echoed in his head. When Miles was reminded of this he quickly spun the wheel for the last time and prayed for someone good. As the wheel inched to a halt, he was dazed by who he got and the fact that it was a black summon meaning it was permanent. ''YES! I GOT ERZA!! NEW WAIFU OBTAINED!!!''. Needles to say he was overjoyed by his final summon of the day. The summon he got this time was Erza Scarlet just after she escaped from the tower of heaven. This was perfect because she would be around the same age as Miles, she would have already unlocked her magic and he would be able to train her to be much stronger than she was in the original fairy tail cannon. Furthermore with his system he could buy legendary and mythical weapons and armour for her. Now that Miles was finished with his lottery he checked his stats and confirmed that his luck had dropped to C-. Sigh* "Well that sucks." He unintentionally said aloud. "What does?" Nojiko asked as Miles turned around and saw her and Nami walking towards him. "Just thinking about how I need to wait years to become a pirate." "Why do you want to become a pirate!?" Nami asked in a surprised voice. Even if the Arlong pirates incident had yet to happen to her, and she didn''t hate pirates yet. Pirates still had a bad reputation, hence her surprise. "For two reasons, adventure and to find the One Piece. Just imagine it sailing the grand line, exploring and mapping uncharted routes and island going on a grand adventure and it all culminates with finding the One Piece and becoming King of the Pirates." Miles said all that while trying to sound as grandiose as possible. He was attempting to intrigue Nami and Nojiko so that they would have a more open mind to joining him to become pirates. What he did not expect was that it would be so easy. "Let me come with you!" " Me too." The two girls said in a quick fashion. "Why do you want two join me?" "I have always dreamed of making a map of the entire world, and if I go with you I can do it." Nami said very excited. "I just think it will be fun." Nojiko said with a calm smile. That wasn''t the real reason why she wanted to go, the real reason was because the moment Nojiko saw Miles she had fallen for him, even without the pheromones the moment she laid her eyes on him she knew he was the one. She wanted to be around him and always with him and now that she knew he was going to leave when he was older, she wanted to go with him. Miles didn''t know this and only thought her personality was a bit different than the original timeline but he was fine with it. "Fine I will let you both join me in my future endeavors but I have a condition, you both must train with me everyday until I say you''re strong enough. The grand line is not for the weak, if you can accept than we have a deal." Miles said with a smile "Deal!" The two looked at each other and said in a determined tone. "Great, then we will start our training tomorrow with our instructors." "What instructors?" The girls said in sync again. "You will see tomorrow." Miles said with a mysterious smile. "What it Gun Fu?" She asked, never having herd of Gun-Fu. "Gun Fu is a style of close-quarters gun fighting that combines firearms with martial arts and traditional weapons. Finally I will be giving you both devil fruits but that can wait until tomorrow." "Sound like fun". Nojiko said with a smile. Now that Miles was done explaining their roles they would have, they had one more thing to do, and that was to tell Bell-mere about their future plan. The problem was, he didn''t know how she would take the news of her daughters becoming pirates. Bell-mere used to be a marine so he was a bit scared of what she would do. "Okay, now comes the hard part, we need to tell Bell-mere". Miles said in a solemn tone. When Nami and Nojiko heard this they shuttered thinking about it. "It''s fine you can do whatever you want with your lives." Miles, Nami and Nojiko were shocked to hear Bell-mere''s voice from behind them, but none more so than Miles. ''Why I didn''t realize she was here with my observation haki or my enhanced senses''. {Even though you''ve unlocked observation haki, you haven''t trained it, the same can be said about your enhanced senses.} ''*Sigh* I really need to start my training soon''. "No. To me it sounds like you are just going on an adventure and might be labeled as pirates in the process. I''m fine with that but I have a two conditions if i''m going to let you do this." She said in a stern tone. "First, you need to wait until you are all at least 16. Second, you can''t ever hurt innocent people. Deal?" """Deal.""" The three kids answered her at the same time. After that they all talked more about how the three kids were going to be trained and he also said he had a friend who would be joining them tomorrow when he goes to get their instructors. When they asked who this friend was all Miles said was they would meet them tomorrow. Soon the day came to an end, and after eating dinner which Miles made, everyone went to bed to get a good rest for tomorrow. ---- The next day Miles woke up early and made breakfast for everyone. After they were finished eating, Miles left to "pick up" their instructors and his friend. Miles went back to the forest he arrived in and opened his inventory pulling out 3 grey cards and 1 black card. He first held out the black card and stared at it for a few seconds, the entire card was pitch black with the only exception being the picture of a young girl with shoulder length red hair, a simple pale blue dress and a white eyepatch covering her right eye. This was Erza Scarlet at 8 Years old when she was about to join fairy tail. "Chloe buy me the most powerful healing ability from the store". He was planning to heal any of her injuries as soon as he summoned her. The same goes for Roger''s disease. {[Perfect Heal] has been added to your powers. It can heal anything from a papercut to a severed limb or an incurable disease.} "Thanks Chloe." Miles held out the black card and said "summon!" As soon as he did the picture on the card turned into a bright light and the girl on the card appeared before him. The card now had a timer on it that showed an ¡Þ symbol. Erza looked around and saw Miles, then she smiled and did a formal bow. "Hello master". She said in a serious tone. ''Oh right, after escaping the tower of heaven she began to close herself off from everyone so as to not get hurt again. It wasn''t until later in the series did she begin to open up. I will need to rectify that soon.'' "Okay first, please don''t call me master, just call me Miles. Think of me as your friend not someone you serve, even though I know that will be hard, just try." "Alright M-Miles". She nodded her head and said in an uncertain tone. This was technically an order from her master so she would not disobey it even if she wanted to. "Good, now let''s heal you and get you a few new sets of clothes." Miles then proceeded to use [Perfect Heal] on her, which regenerated her lost eye and then buy her the same clothes she wore in the anime. Erza changed into her new clothes which consisted of custom-made armor by Heart Kreuz smiths, a blue skirt, black boots, and diamond shaped silver earrings. Miles also bought her a sword made of vibranium-adamantium alloy which could cut through anything except it''s own sheath which was made of the same material. "You look very pretty." He said with an amicable smile on his face which made Erza blush. "T-Thank you". She stuttered trying to hide her embarrassment from the complement. Miles then held up his three grey cards and said "summon". Like his last summon, the pictures on the cards turned into a bright lights and three people appeared in front of him, and the timers on the cards show a countdown for 2 years each. The first person was Whis. Whis is a tall, thin humanoid with pale blue skin, white hair, violet eyes, and rather effeminate features. He was holding a long scepter with a gem that floats above it in his right hand. Around his neck is a large light blue ring, and his attire consists of a maroon robe, a black cuirass with white and orange diamond decorations and a blue sash. He also wears black high-heeled shoes with white spats. The next person was Floyd Lawton also known as Deadshot. He dons a bulletproof red-and-black vest and bodysuit, with many holsters, containing various firearms. This suit is durable enough to help him withstand slashes from mystic daggers and high caliber bullets, as well as a superhuman stikes with minimal injury. He was also wearing a white ballistic face mask that covers his entire head and neck as well as a high-tech eye-patch that he wears over his face mask, on his left eye. This eye-patch augments his already amazing marksman skills, and when combined with his sniper rifle''s scope, makes it almost impossible for him to miss his target. It also provides him with mission data and target data. Since he was wearing the DCEU costume from the suicide squad movie, Miles assumed he would look like Will Smith under his mask which was confirmed as soon as deadshot took his mask off. The final person was the king of pirates himself Gol D. Roger. Roger is a tall man, his most prominent physical features were his curved black mustache, a fierce grin he almost always wore, and his intense eyes. He also had thick black hair and a short, thick neck. Like many other high ranking pirates, he wore a long red captain''s coat. Beneath his coat, he wore a blue shirt and had a yellow sash around his waist, he also wore a white cravat around his neck, dark blue pants, and what appeared to be black sea boots. On his hat he had his Jolly Roger on it over a yellow spotted bandana. Miles used [Perfect Heal] on Roger then went on to explain to them what they will be doing for the foreseeable future and they all happily agreed, especially Erza who was happy she would stay with him permanently. Miles then bought a mask from the system which would change the appearance of anyone who wore it and could be worn for long periods of time without being uncomfortable. He gave the mask to Roger who put it in and changed his appearance to look like an average person, the only thing that was the same was his mustache. Miles led the four people to the house to meet Bell-mere Nojiko and Nami. When they got there Miles introduced Whis, Floyd and Roger as combat, marksmen and Haki instructors respectively, and introduced Erza as his friend he told the girls about yesterday. They all went downstairs to the time chamber and Miles explained what it was for and how it worked. Everyone was amazed by the device, except for Whis who already knew what it was. They all walked into the chamber with Miles being the last to enter because he wanted to test something. He pulled out the grey cards for Whis, Deadshot and Roger, than put them on a small table next to the door then he walked into the chamber as the door closed behind him. Miles wanted to know if the summon timer would go down by one year, if the summoned was in the chamber and the card was outside it. He would find out when he exited the chamber tomorrow. ==== Join my pat.reon it''s only $2 *******.com/GHOSTS27 Chapter 7 - UNDER MY CONTROL! Author note. For those of you who read the last chapter before the 29th of september 2019. For anyone else this is not really important and can be skipped. In the last chapter I wanted to switch to a different type writing style but I didn''t like how it looked so I changed back and edited that chapter to make it look the same as the rest. It is not really necessary for you to re-read it, but just know I won''t be writing the dialog like that anymore. For those of you who still read this note even though you didn''t need to, and want to know what i''m talking about because the curiosity is killing you. Go read any book written by Seion. I recommend DXD System in DXD or STB System In Strike the blood. Both have very good stories, large harems, and are very lemon heavy. Anyway I hope you enjoy and remember RATE AND REVIEW!... thanks. :) ---- The first thing Miles did when he entered the chamber was invite all the girls to a party, this included Bell-mere. Once they were in the party he give them all the [Extreme Pain Resistance] skill, after that he changed their races to primordials. Now you may be wondering why he invited Bell-mere to the party and changed her race even though she won''t be joining them and becoming a pirate. The reason is very simple, it''s because Miles wanted her. |( ?¡ã ?? ?¡ã)| Once their race change was done and the girls had rested afterwards, Miles gave them each a devil fruit and used [All Curse Breaker] on them so they wouldn''t have any side effects. First he gave Bell-mere a paramecia type fruit called the Plant-Plant fruit which can accelerate the growth rate of plants and control them to their d.e.s.i.r.e. Since she wasn''t coming with them this fruit would help her tangerine farm so she can produce more without help from Nami and Nojiko. Next gave Erza the Space-Space to enhance her space-type magic and give her more storage space for her armours and weapons. Once the girls ate their fruits and Miles finished laughing at their reactions to eating them, they all started training. ---- It has been 2 year since Miles arrived in the one piece world. He and the girls have been going in and out of the time chamber periodically once a month, meaning they have technolley been training for 24 years. When their first day in the training session in chamber was finished, Miles found that his card experiment was successful and that the summoned does not expire if the summon card is outside the chamber. Unfortunately his cards had now expired, but he was able milk that loophole for all its worth and get many benefits from it. One of the best benefits of this was that Roger was able to teach the kids more then just how to use haki. He also taught them about how the grand line works, especially how the weather works. This made Nami ecstatic as she asked him hundreds of questions about how it works and how it would affect navigation. Miles, Erza, and Nojiko on the other hand didn''t care much about that topic so they mostly focused on other aspects of their training. Miles did however want to know how to read the poneglyphs and was going to ask Roger but ultimately didn''t. Miles was sure to ask Robin to join his crew at a later date, but that wasn''t the reason he did not ask Roger to teach him. It was because Miles was sure there was some ability in the store that would let him understand other languages. He was correct, and while looking through the skills section of the store he found [Universal Language] and bought it. During their time learning about the grand line and how to fight, they had also all awakened their devil fruits. Except for Nojiko the girls all awankend their fruits within 5 years, it took Nojiko 10 years since she had 2 devil fruits. Miles on the other hand wasn''t able to awaken his fruit yet. He assumed it was because his fruit was 11 other fruits fused together, so he caulated that it would take him around 45 to 50 years to awaken his fruit. He was fine with this since he still had many other things to do and lots of time before he set sail. In his time when Miles wasn''t learning, he was building and designing gadgets, tools and weapons that would be useful during their time traveling. The most important thing he was making was their ship. Miles was not going to sail in a normal ship that could be obtained by going to your local shipyard and buying one. Miles was made a ship that this world has never seen and will never see again. The ship Miles made was a modern day frigate made of Uru-Vibranium-Adamantium alloy, the ship is virtually indestructible and would be able to take any amount of punishment. It had large artillery cannon on the front the the ship and smaller artillery on the sides, behind the main cannon, hidden under the deck was a launcher that would fire off guided long range or short range napalm warhead missiles at enemies when needed. The ship was to be fueled by a medium-sized arc reactor without palladium so it would be not be harmful to the body. It would also be able to sail itself with the help of its built in A.I; Jarvis, or manually by a person at the helm. When Miles was finished building the ship, it was painted black with gold accents. At the back of the ship in bold golden font read the name Death Rider. ---- Back to the present, Miles was currently sitting under a tree near the orange grove thinking about the near future. ''Arlong and his crew should be arriving at the island soon and Kuina death will be this year as well, *sigh* I wish I knew the exact date when these things happen.'' {I can tell you that Arlong should be arriving in a tomorrow, but I don''t know when Kuina dies so you should probably go to Shimotsuki Village as soon as possible.} She said nonchalantly. ''...Why do you know when Arlong will arrive but don''t know when Kuina will die?'' {I did a scan of Conami Islands and Arlong''s ship is stopped just off the coast of the archipelago. Kuina''s death, like you said, never had an exact date so even I don''t know when it happens.} When Miles heard her explanation he understood that he would need to go to Shimotsuki after he got rid of the Arlong pirates so he immediately scanned the islands with his observation haki. Even though Miles couldn''t see into the future with his haki yet he was still proficient enough to search everywhere in a 100 Km radius. He found Arlong''s ship stopped about 25 Km away preparing for the invasion of Conami. At this point Miles was contemplating what he should do next. {I think you should go with option 2, If you want them to survive in this world they need to be willing to kill just like other pirates and marines. This is not just a manga or anime anymore, there are things and people much worse than Arlong on this world.} Chloe said in a rare serious tone. ''You''re right, I was leaning towards option 2 as well.'' What Chloe said about things much worse then Arlong existing were very true. On earth crimes such as robbery, **** and murder were all prevalent but here it was much worse, especially since the corrupt world government was in charge here; and justice freaks like admiral Akainu existed. ''I really should kill Akainu.'' Miles thought with a chilly face. Miles hated Akainu the most because he killed his favourite one piece character of all time, Ace. {I suggest you hold off on attacking a marine admiral for now. Currently you have the strength to beat a warlord like Doflamingo ,but even with that much strength, you don''t have a snowball''s chance in hell to kill an admiral.} ''I know that, do you really think I would be dumb enough to pick a fight with an admiral right now?'' {Maybe?} She said with a light chuckle. ''I''m not talking to you for the rest of the day.'' Miles said with a monotone voice, unamused by Chloe''s mocking comment. --- "It''s the Arlong pirates!" Another person said in a panic. "Arlong!? It can''t be" A women said dropping the basket of fruit she was holding and running away. "Then... that rumour about the fismen pirate crew in the grand line splitting off... must''ve been true...!" A man said as he was backing away slowly. SHAHAHAHA! GREETING, MY BELOVED PATHETIC HUMANS! FROM THIS MOMENT HEREON, THIS VILLAGE... NAY THIS ENTIRE ISLAND SHALL BE UNDER MY CONTROL! ==== A.N. Hello people of I your "friendly neighborhood author" am back. Sorry about the 20 day absent, I was in a car accident. Don''t worry i''m fine, I just have a few scr.a.p.es and bruises and a fractured left arm but I will be fine... my car on the other hand not so much :''( R.I.P At any rate I finally felt well enough to sit down at my desk and finish writing this chapter. Sorry it''s not as long as the others but like i said in the A/N of the prologue, don''t expect them to be that long again. Anyway remember to RATE and REVIEW!!! See you next time. Join my pat.reon it''s only $2 Chapter 8 - Vs. Pirates The Arlong Pirates are led by Arlong. Every member of the crew is a fish-man, they existed before the Sun Pirates, but joined with them when they were formed. After the death of Fisher Tiger, (the captain of the sun pirates) they split from the new captain; Jinbe, after Jinbe became one of the 7 Warlords of the sea. The Arlong pirates became their own crew once again. They believed they were above humans as the stronger species and looked down on them as inferior. Arlong himself is a large, muscular, light blue saw-shark fish-man whose most distinctive trait is his saw-shaped nose. He has long, black hair with a widow''s peak reaching down to his shoulders, under a brown ushanka. He has a fin on his nape, surrounded by his hair, and the gills are located on both the sides of his neck. His Sun Pirates tattoo is on the left side of his c.h.e.s.t, while his own Jolly Roger is on his left forearm. "100,000 Berries per month for one human a.d.u.l.t, and 50,000 per month for one human child. considering that we came with no notice we''ll only kill those who cant pay up right now...!" arlong said with a smug smile. " Kuroobi, how much have we collected so far?" Arlong asked the ray fish-man now identified as Kuroobi. Kuroobi had the typical appearance of a martial artist with grey skin, a dark blue gi, a black belt, and his hair is tied into a straight ponytail. "Almost 25 million..." Kuroobi answered as he sneered at the humans around. "Excellent!" Arlong said with a vicious grin plastered on his face. "This is... too much... how are we supposed to make a living, if we need to pay that much every mouth...! " One of the villagers asked Genzo with sorrow in his voice. "Just bear with it for now... fortunately no none will be killed this time. Genzo replied with a sad look on his face. ''They''ve took control of our village, I guess we should consider ourselves fortunate if we can solve this crisis with money alone. Now please just go back without noticing Belle-mear''s home! with 4 kids, they''d have to pay 300,000 berries... there''s no way she''d have that much money saved up!'' Genzo thought in a panic. "Alright, lets pull back for today, brethren!" Arlong said as he started to walk away with the other fish-men. Genzo relaxed his tense body as the pirates started to leave, unfortunately for him, it did not last long. "Arlong! There seems to be a house a little away from the village. Over there, the smoke must be coming from someone''s house." A fish-man said as he walked towards Arlong. "Hmm? We almost missed it" Arlong said with an ominous tone as he led the pirates over to Bell-mere house. "Chew. Have you found any sea charts?" Arlong asked one of his crew officers named Chew. Chew is a smelt-whiting fish-man with muscular build, blue skinn, and thick lips. "Nope, not a single one." Chew replied. "Not the most useful village is it..." Arlong said in annoyance. Back with the villagers, Genzo was freaking out. "What are we going to do!?" Genzo said in a panic. "Genzo, do you know where the kids are?" Dr. Nako asked. "They should still be at home." Genzo replied in agitatian. "What do we do? Belle-mere won''t be able to pay them!" Dr. Nako said, scared of what would happen. Belle-mere had begun selling her tangerines to the surrounding islands, and making a lot of money from having the best tangerines in the area. Genzo and the other villagers knew about this but they didn''t know how much of a profit she was making. --- Bell-mere was currently making lunch for her and the kids, this was the cause of the smoke coming from the house. Miles had been teaching Belle-mere how to cook for a few years now, and even though she was not as good as him, she still had a talent for it. In the house with Belle-mere were the girls, Nami, Nojiko and Erza, Miles was not home because he said he had something to do that morning so he left after breakfast. Nami and Erza were sitting at the table, Nami was drawing maps and Erza was eating a piece of strawberry shortcake that Miles made yesterday, and was leftover from last night. Nojiko was laying down on the couch reading a Harry Potter book. All of them liked reading so, Miles had bought a plethora of books and manga from his world for them to read. Of course he left out anything that had to do with One Piece for... obvious reasons. As soon as Belle-mere was finished cooking, a knock on the door was heard as they all looked over. "Oh? Maybe Miles is back" Belle-mere said, then she and the other girls glared at the door. "It''s should open. Come in." The pirates heard a voice say from behind the door. "Excuse me then" Arlong said as he slowly opened the door. "Hmm?" Arlong was confused to see that nobody was on the other side of the door. "Unfortunately for you, I used to be a marine. What''s a pirate from the grand line, doing all the way out here, in the little village of Cocoyasi?" Belle-mere asked "SHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Arlong started laughing maniacally. "What'' so Funny?" Belle-mere asked with a glare as she switched off the safety on her rifle. "The incompetence of your inferior race" Arlong replied as he bit down on the barrel of the gun intending to shatter it with his strong teeth. Needless to say the only thing that shattered were his own teeth. "Hmph" Belle-mere gave a victorious smile and Arlong frowned. Arlong quickly pushed Belle-mere off and got back to his feet. Belle-mere obviously let him do this. Arlong spat out his broken teeth, then immediatly new ones grew back. "Interesting gun you got there" Arlong said as he stared menacingly at Bell-mere. "You like it? It''s indestructible. Now I suggest you leave this island before things get bad for you." Belle-mere said as she kept the rifle trained on the fish-man. "You think you can take us down. You, an inferior being?! SHAHAHA!" Arlong said sarcastically as he and the other pirates started laughing. At this time, Nojiko, Nami and Erza all walked out of the house behind Bell-mere. Nojiko was holding a .454 casull pistol in each hand, one black with blue runic engravings on it, and the other silver with gold runic engravings on it. (Alucard''s guns) The pistols were built by Miles, and could use normal 13mm ammo or could use her devil fruit powers as ammo. Nami and Erza were also holding their own specially made weapons. "I will give you 10 seconds. Leave or face the consequences." Belle-mere said, giving the pirates their first and last warning. "SHAHAHAHAHA!" """HAHAHAHA""" Arlong and the other pirates started laughing again. "WHY WAIT?!" Arlong said suddenly, as he lunged at Belle-mere intending to grab her by the throat. Belle-mere skillfully to dodged to to left, then gave Arlong a haki infused kick to the stomach sending him flying towards his crew. "Anyone else?" Belle-mere said, ready to fire on the fish-men pirates. "KILL THEM ALL!" Arlong screamed at his crew, as he struggled to stand back up. After Arlong gave his order, the fish-men pirates rushed at the girls intending to kill them, but unfortunately for the fish-men, they were woefully unprepared for these girls. Belle-mere and Nojiko opened fire on the fish-men, Belle-mere aiming for their torso''s and Nojiko going for their heads. Erza and Nami on the other hand, ran into the group of fish-men, dodging their attacks using observation haki and cutting them down one by one. They aimed for the vitals such as the heart and neck, killing them quickly and efficiently. At first Nami and Nojiko were a bit hesitant about killing, but they knew if they wanted to survive this and survive in the future, they would need to kill. Erza didn''t have such a reaction to killing someone because, this was not her first time taking a life. The first time she killed was when she was in the tower of heaven, she killed a few cultist in her escape. Finally Belle-mere.... she had no reaction to taking life at all. She had killed plenty of criminals during her time as a marine, and this was nothing new. At this point almost half of the pirates were dead, and the remaining ones were starting to freak out. "What the f.u.c.k is happening, why can''t we hit them!?" A fish-man said just before he got cut down by Erza. One particular fish-man saw the writing on the wall, this fish-man was Hatchan an octopus fish-man. Hatchan was not the brightest person, but he was smart enough to know that the Arlong pirates were out mached, so he quickly escaped into the ocean when nobody was looking. "NO NO NO NO! HOW COULD FEEBLE HUMANS KILL MY ENTIRE CREW!" Arlong screamed in anger at the loss of his crew to the "Feeble" humans. "Oh please. Your from fish-man island in the grand line. You of all people should know how strong humans can be." A voice sounded from above them. The girls and the pirates looked up, only to see a handsome 10 year old boy hovering in the air. This boy was unquestionably Miles. He slowly floated down to the ground and stood beside the girls. "Where have you been?" Erza asked. She was confused as to why he only showed up when the fighting was over. Miles looked over at Arlong and glared. "I was taking care of some corrupt marines that were paid off by Arlong, so he could have Conami islands as his territory." """"What!?"""" The girls said surprised and angry by this news. Belle-mere was the most pissed about this revelation. "Don''t worry. Like i said, I took care of it." Miles said, giving a smile to girls, making them all slightly blush. "Now then, you three have a combined bounty of 33,500,000, so if you surrender quietly I will turn you in, to the marines that aren''t corrupt. If not then... well, you know what will happen then. " Miles said to the 3 fish-man pirates that were still alive. "Option 2 then... good, I was hoping you would say something like that." *Shing* Miles said with a grin, as the sound of his wrist mounted hidden blades unsheathed. His hidden blades were like that of Nojiko''s guns, Nami''s spear and Erza''s sword. The only difference was that his blades had purple engravings, enabling him to use any of his devil fruit powers with them. Miles then ran at the 3 pirates disappearing from their sight and then reappearing behind them, sheathing his blades once more with the sound of a *shing*. As soon as that sound was heard, Chew and Kuroobi''s heads fell to the ground, along with Arlong''s arms. Surprisingly there was no blood, this was because at the moment Miles cut into the 3 fish-men, he channeled his flame-flame power though his blades, cauterizing their wounds instantly. "AHHHHHH!" Arlong screamed as he fell to his knees. Miles walked in front of Arlong and gazed at him with a cold look on his face. "P-please have mercy" Arlong begged. "Did you spare anyone who begged for their life in the past? Would you have spared anybody if they couldn''t pay their monthly fees here? The day you took an innocent life, is the day you gave up your right to beg for mercy." Miles said as he put his right hand on Arlong''s shoulder, unsheathed the hidden blade on his left wrist, then stabbed Arlong in the heart. Miles watched as the light in Arlong''s eyes faded, and his body fell to the ground, lifeless. ==== Join my pat.reon it''s only $2 *******.com/GHOSTS27 Chapter 9 - Its a Promise Author note. So a few people have been wondering why Miles is not super overpowered yet, even after training for 24 year in the time chamber. There are 2 reasons for this, the first is because, Miles only spent half of his time training, the other half was spent building technology and weapons for his crew. The second reason is because, while in the time chamber, he does not age. Miles went into the chamber 24 times. That''s is once a mouth, for 24 months, meaning 2 years outside of the chamber. He only has the body of a 10 year old. I might not have explained this well enough in the earlier chapters, but I hope this clears up this misunderstanding. Don''t worry, I''ve mentioned this before and I will do it again now. Miles and his will be unstoppable when they officially start their journey in 7 years. So just wait few more chapters until the real story begins. ==== Miles looked around and saw the blood and bodies of many dead fish-men, littered across the ground. He took a large black, plastic-like material then used transmutation on it to cut it, and cover all of the bodies in it, making multiple body bags. Miles then used devil fruit powers to clean the soil of any blood and push the scent of death away. He put the heads of Chew ,Kuroobi and Arlong in his inventory for later, when he turns in the bounty. After he was done, the girls walked over to him and glared at him. "What?" He asked, confused as to why they were angry. "How long were you watching us before you decided to step in?" Nami asked. Miles now understanding why they were mad hesitated to answer for second. {Ooooohh, you''re in trouble.} Chloe said while mockingly extending the word ''trouble''. ''Shut up!'' "...Umm, when Belle-mere said she was a marine." """"You were here the entire time? Why didn''t you help us!?"""" The all said in sync. "....Well, you didn''t look like you needed it." Miles said in a small voice. "Then why did you but into our fight at the end?" Nami asked with a slightly annoyed face. "You did it to look cool, didn''t you. She said as she crossed her arms. With the cat out of the bag, Miles glanced at them, shrugged his shoulders and asked. "...Didn''t it look cool though?" *Sigh* the 4 girls sighed and thought in their head: ''It did look cool'', Of course they would never tell him that, so they just rolled their eyes at him. A few minutes later Genzo, Dr. Nako, and the other villagers arrived to see the ground filled with body bags, and see that Belle-mere and the kids were just fine. "Belle-mere, What happened!" Genzo yelled as he ran over. "Well..." Belle-mere then went on to tell all the villagers what happened after Arlong and his crew showed up at her house. When she was finished, all the villagers were so surprised, they had their jaws on the ground. "Y-you and the k-kids took d-down an entire p-pirate crew in under t-ten minutes. Genzo said as he struggled to get the words out. Genzo was about to faint from the stress of the situation, but before he did he heard Miles'' voice. "Here Genzo, I believe this belongs to the villagers" Miles said as he opened a large brown c.h.e.s.t. He had taken it off the dead pirates, and when he opened it, he found all the money that was taken from the villagers earlier. "I trust that you can give it back to them." After the villagers left, Miles told the girls that he would be leaving the island, but he would be back in a few days. They were fine with it because, they knew Miles could take care of himself, so they said goodbye and Miles teleported away. ---- There is a small dojo that teaches swordsmanship, located in Shimotsuki village, in the East Blue sea. Currently the sounds of sparing could be heard from the practice ground of the dojo. "HAA" *Whack* A grunt, then a whacking sound was heard as a blue haired girl knocked a boy with green hair, who was holding two swords, to the ground. "Kuina wins for the 2000th time" Announced a man who was wearing glasses, and had his long black hair tied into a ponytail. "Hmph!! How pitable, a boy... and so useless?!!" Stated the girl named Kuina in slight contempt. "Hey, Zoro isn''t weak!" "Yeah, he''s the best in our dojo" "He''s even stronger than the grown-ups" Said some of the boys from the dojo, trying to preserve their own pride. "Is that so? Well he''s still weaker than me, even when using two swords. Just admit defeat since you''ve lost!" She said as she walked away from the boys. "Damn!!" Zoro yelled as he threw his two kendo swords to the ground. "Well, Kuina is older than you" Koushiro answered with a pleasant smile. "Even a.d.u.l.ts can''t beat me!" Zoro said angrily. "I''m going to sail the world, and become the best swordsman. I won''t lose to anyone ever again!" Zoro said as he stormed off in frustration. Later that day, when the sun was starting to set, Zoro went to find Kuina, she was training in the courtyard doing practice swings on a wooden pole. "Kuina!! I challenge you to a duel, with real swords this time!" Zoro said as he tossed her a katana. She caught it, looked at it, then looked at Zoro with an incredulous face. "Real swords?... Okay it''s your funeral." She said as she usheathed her sword, Zoro doing the same with his two katanas. "On guard" She said as she got into a combat stance. "Let''s go" He said as he rushed her. Zoro swung his left sword at her, which she deflected and pushed him back a bit. She gave a follow up slash which Zoro managed to stop by holding his swords in a ''X'' block. The fight went on for a few more minutes, with them trading block after block, never actually hitting each other. Eventually Zoro starting breathing heavily, indicating that he was running out of stamina. "SHUT UP" Zoro yelled, looking away from his opponent. Unfortunately for him, this was the moment Kuina needed. She ran at Zoro, and was able to catch him off guard, knocking the swords from his hands, causing him to fall. While Zoro was falling, Kuina switched her sword to a reverse grip and it looked like she was about to stab Zoro in the face, but as soon as Zoro''s back hit the ground, she stabbed into the soil right beside his head. "That''s makes 2001 wins for me" She said with a smile as the swords that were knocked out of Zoro''s hands, stabbed into the ground behind them. "Danm, it''s so frustrating!" Zoro said as he covered his face because of the tears streaming down it. "I''m the one who''s frustrated..." Kuina said as she sat down on the steps by the dojo''s backdoor. "What, why?" Zoro asked, as he sat up and wiped his tears away. "When a girl grows up, she will lose out to guys in physical strength. I''m going to fall behind you soon. Don''t you always say, that you''ll be the best swordsman in the world? Dad says that girls can''t be master swordsmen... I wanna be the world''s greatest swordsman too!! I wish I was a boy..." Kuina said as tears started to build up in her eyes. "What are you crying about, you beat me!! Beating you is my dream. Someday I will beat you because I worked hard, not because you''re a girl! I''m training all the time to beat you, you''re making me look bad!!" He said as he stood up and yelled at her. "Zoro..." Kuina said looking up at him. "Let''s make a promise. Someday, we will become the greatest swordsmen ever! Then, we will fight each other for the title of best in the world!" Zoro said. "Well, you two do have potential, but... if you keep training as you do now, you will never be the best in the world." A voice was heard, startling the young swordsmen. ""Who said that?!"" Kuina and Zoro said at the same time. They glanced around, but there was nobody else in the courtyard except for them. "Up here." The voice replied. The two kids looked up to see a, handsome boy with his hands behind his head, relaxing on the roof of the dojo. "Who are you!? "And what do you mean we cant be the best swordsmen in the world?" They asked. "My name is Miller D. Miles, and I mean what I said. Currently the best swordsman in the world is Dracule "Hawk Eyes" Mihawk, right now he is 34 years old and in the prime of his life. If you two want to be the best, then you have beat the best. That means you will need to fight and defeat Mihawk, and as of now, you don''t stand a snowball''s chance hell. Even if you stayed in this dojo for the next 20 years and did nothing but train, you still wouldn''t be able to leave a scratch on him. "That being said, I can train you to be the best swordsmen, on one condition. All you need to do in return... is join my crew." Miles said with a grin. "You can train us? you''re a kid"Zoro said not believing Miles could train him. "Do you even know how to hold a sword?" Kuina said with also not believing Miles. "How about this, tomorrow morning I will return and we can have a duel. After that you can decide whether you want my help or not. What do say?" Miles asked. "I said tomorrow because you both just fought each other and are exhausted." Miles said. "I''m fine." "Me too." They said, indicating they were ready to go. "No, you''re not. Zoro, you ran out of stamina during the fight, and Kuina, you were in the middle of training when Zoro challenged you. Humans are fragile beings, work them to hard and they will break down. Both of you get some rest before you collapse, I will see you tomorrow." Miles said as he walked away and turned a corner. "Hey!" Kuina yelled as she and Zoro chased after him, but as soon as the two of them turned the corner, they couldn''t see him, it was like he had vanished. Zoro and Kuina didn''t know what to think, so they just went inside and went to bed. ---- The next morning Miles made his way to isshin dojo to fight Zoro and Kuina. When he arrived he heard the sounds of kids practicing inside. "Hello?" Miles said as he walked inside. "Oh, you must be Miles. Kuina and Zoro told me about last night." Koushirou said with a smile when he saw Miles walk in. After Miles arrived Kuina and Zoro walked over. "I''m fine with letting you duel them, but I would like to modify the conditions a bit".Koushirou continued now that all 3 participants were here. "If Kuina or Zoro can defeat you then you will have to join Isshin dojo" He said with an amicable smile. "Sure, but if I win then they will have to join my crew." Miles said with a grin. """Deal""" Koushirou, Kuina and Zoro said together. "Great! Then let''s get started." Miles said as he and the others stated walking towards the training ground. Just then, Koushirou thought something was off. "Wait a moment, I thought you already made those same conditions for the duel last night?" Koushirou asked Miles. "What are you talking about? Last night I said ''we can have a duel and after that, you can decide whether you want my help or not''. But now once I defeat them, they will have no choice but to come with me." Miles said. When the three of them heard this, they stopped dead in their tracks and had shock plastered all over their faces. Miles knew they had stopped so he turned around, and with the smuggest face he could make, he said: "Hey... You made your bed, now sleep in it," he then turned around and continued walking. ''''''We''ve been played'''''' The three of them thought. After they all made it to the dojo practice grounds, Kuina and Zoro and Miles all picked up a kendo sword, Zoro taking 2. At this time the other students of the dojo came over too see the duel. "Whenever you two are ready, we''ll begin" Miles said as he got ready to fight. ""I''ll go first" Kuina and Zoro said together. They were about to start arguing about who would go first, but Miles was having none of it. "Hey! I challenged both of you to a duel. This is not one on one, it''s two on one, so let''s get started. he said impatiently. "Do you really think you can beat the both of us at the same time?" Zoro asked. He didn''t like the idea of ganging up on one person. "Yes, easily" Miles replied like it was a fact. "Ohhh, It''s on!!" Kuina said in anger. She also didn''t like unfair battles, but now she felt insulted. Kuina and Zoro both got into their stance and Miles... just held the sword up lazily, this just made Kuina and Zoro more angry. "Who do you thinks gonna win?" One of the students asked another. "Kuina and Zoro obviously, Just look at the way that other guy holds a sword. This should be a piece of cake for Kuina and Zoro to defeat him." the other student answered. "Are you three ready?" Koushirou asked. """Ready""" The three kids said together. "Begin!" As soon as Koushirou said begin, Miles disappeared from everyone''s sight. *Crack!* The sound of something cracking was heard, then Miles reappeared back where he started. As soon as Miles came into view, Kuina and Zoro''s kendo swords exploded into tiny pieces, then they fall to their knees shivering. The only thing that was left of their swords, were the hilts. Silence... Everyone was to shocked to say anything. Miles waited patiently and let them absorb what just happened. After a minute Koushirou finally snapped out of it and announced the winner. "M-Miles wins.." He said weakly. "What just happened?" One of the students asked dumbfounded by what he just witnessed. What happened was that the moment the duel started; Miles coated his sword in haki, then he used his speed to catch his opponents off guard, break their swords and hit them on the back of the knees making them fall. Of course, he didn''t care if they knew or not. "I''ll give you two a few hours to pack your stuff and say goodbye, after all, you probably wont be seeing them again for a while." Miles said as he patted Zoro and Kuina''s shoulders. A few hours after the duel, Kuina and Zoro had packed their stuff and were standing next to Miles. "Before we go start your training, I need to make a stop at a marine base first, so are you two arealy to go?" Miles asked. "We''re ready." They replied with a look of determination. After their fight with MIles, they realized how much of a gap there was between them and their goal of being the best. With that motivating them, they were ready to train harder than ever before. "Good, then let''s go" Miles said as he snapped his fingers, teleporting the three of them away. ==== Join my pat.reon it''s only $2 *******.com/GHOSTS27 Chapter 10 - Let The Hunt Begin I would like you all to thank: A_Narcissist, void12, Lord_Lightning2, ivinok, Gt_Prince, zororfh, m3gah1tss, creater_of_worlds, sms_rkr, nothinsnew. These people are the reason you all get a bonus chapter today. I hope you enjoy :) ==== Miles teleported them all to an ally that was nearby a marine base. When they arrived, Kuina and Zoro started feeling unwell from the sudden space jump. "What just happened" Kuina asked as she leaned against a nearby wall, attempting to regain her balance. "I think i''m gonna throw up" Zoro added as he covered his mouth with his hand, in an effort not to regurgitate his breakfast. "Hehe. This happens to everyone the first time they teleport with me. Just give it a second, it will pass." Miles said with a chuckle and amused smile on his face. Whenever he teleports someone for the first time, that person will usually experience nausea or dizziness. It never gets any less funny when he sees it. "Teleport?! How can you teleport? And is that how you beat us during our duel?!" Kuina asked in fury after she had regained her bearings. She thought Miles had cheated during their fight which made her very angry. "I can teleport because I ate a devil fruit and no, I only used pure speed during our fight." Miles replied in defence. "I thought devil fruits were a myth?" Zoro asked, after his nausea passed. "I can assure you, they are very real. Now if you two will excuse me I need to cash in a few bounties." Miles said, as he transformed to look like an a.d.u.l.t. "Is that part of your devil fruit too?" Kuina asked. "Yep. Now wait here, I''ll be back in 15 minutes." Miles replied as he walked towards the marine base. Earlier in the day while Miles was waiting for Zoro and Kuina to pack their stuff, he had bought an ability from the system called [Transformation] that could alter his appearance, height and voice. Right now he looked like The Winter soldier from Captain America 2, compete with the mask and metal left arm. The only difference from the original was that, instead of black hair, Miles'' hair was white. "H-how can I help you?" The marine stuttered out. ''He looks a bit scared'' Miles thought as he smiled evilly under the mask. {Thinking of ways to mess with him?} Chloe asked. ''You know me so well'' He replied, trying not to let out an evil laugh. "I''m here to cash in a bounty" Miles said as he dropped the sack he was carrying on the desk, making a loud thud. The marine flinched when the bag hit the desk. "W-which bounty?" The scared marine asked. This time Miles didn''t answer with words, instead he walked closer to the marine and reached his ''metal'' arm towards him. "I''M SORRY, PLEASE DON''T HURT ME!" screamed the cowardly marine as he closed his eyes and covered his face. Miles reached behind the frightened and pulled 3 bounty posters off the bounty board behind him. Miles then waited for the marine to stop cowering in fear so he could cash in his bounties. After a full minute of nothing happening, the marine slowly opened his eyes to see the cold glare of the man in front of him. Before the marine could cower in fear once again, Miles shoved the bounty posters in to his hands. Once the marine saw them, his eyes popped out of his head. "Hello sir, my subordinate has informed me that you came to cash in some rather large bounties, Do you have any proof of completion?" The captain said. Miles didn''t reply but instead pushed the sack on the table towards them. The captain opened the bag and found the severed heads of Arlong, Chew and Kuroobi inside. Once he saw them he looked ecstatic. "Quick, go get the reward for these bounties". The captain said to his subordinate. The marine private quickly ran off to the vault. A few minutes later he returned with a large bag that had the symbol for berries on it. The captain took the bag from the private and politely handed it to Miles with an amicable sime on his face. "On behalf of all the marines in the East Blue, I''d like to thank you for bringing such vile criminals to justice. Your reward is a total of 33.5 million berries." The captain said as he handed the bag of cash to Miles. "Would you be interested in joining the mari-" "No" The marine captain wanted to recruit Miles into the marines but Miles cut him off mid-sentence, denied him, then turned around and started walking towards the door. "Wait!" The captain said, trying to stop Miles from leaving yet. Miles halted his steps and turned his head to the marine captain, waiting for him to speak. "The captain of the Arlong pirates had the biggest bounty in the East Blue, I need to know your name so I can tell the media who took Arlong down." "Winter soldier" Miles said in a low voice as he walked out the door. He put his money in his inventory then made his way back to Kuina and Zoro, afterwards he teleported all of them back to Cocoyasi village to start their training. Back at the marine base, the captain gave an order to the marine behind the desk. "If The Winter Soldier ever comes back here to turn in another bounty, inform me immediately. He was able to kill Arlong and two of his officers, we need to recruit that man into the marines at all costs." The captain said in a strict tone. When Miles returned home with Kuina and Zoro, the crew had a celebration to welcome its two new members. The next day, they all entered the chamber, and started the training cycle of training, once again. ---- In the middle of the time chamber a very attractive young man could be seen sitting in a meditative position on the floor. Suddenly a massive aura was released from his body, engulfing every inch of the time chamber, and suffocating anybody that was inside. After a few seconds the aura dissipated and the young man let out a sigh of relief. "*Sigh* Finally... I''ve done it" The young man said with a delighted face. This young man was obviously Miles. {Congratulations Miles, you have finally awakened you Nature-Nature fruit!} Chloe congratulated him in a very excited tone. ''Thanks Chloe'' he said to her as he stood up and started stretching. Suddenly Miles was tackled to the ground by a group of 4 women. "Congratulations Miles!" They said together while hugging him. "Well, this is a nice reward" Miles said as he took full advantage of the situation, hugging them back while grabbing a few handfuls of a.s.s. When he did this the girls didn''t try to push him off, or attempt to slap him like a cliche, instead they just hugged him tighter. "Congratulations on awakening your devil fruit" He said as he offered a cup of sake to Miles. Miles took the cup of sake and downed it. It''s been 5 years since Miles returned to Cocoyasi with Kuina and Zoro. In that time, the crew continued to train in the time chamber and grow much stronger. During that time, Miles had confirmed his relationsh.i.p.s with the women in his life, this included Belle-mere, who was currently not in the chamber with them. Miles hasn''t sleep with any of girls yet but it will happen before they leave for the grand line. Right now Miles, Nami and Erza were 15, Zoro was 16, and Kuina and Nojiko were 17. Each one of them alone could easily fight all four emperors at the same time, and win. Back when Kuina and Zoro arrived and they all went into the chamber, the only thing they did was train when inside, and relax when outside. Zoro and Kuina had been invited to the party, made into primordials, and given a devil fruit each. The devil fruits Miles gave to Kuina and Zoro were, the Ice-Ice fruit and Fire-Fire fruit respectively. After getting their fruits and having the curse broken, all they did was work on awakening them and spar with the others to improve their sword skill. During this time, Zoro had developed his iconic 3 sword-style, and it was a treat to see him use it in combat. "Okay everyone, we have been training here for 5 years, so I think it''s about time to put that training to test" Miles said with a cunning smile. "What do you have in mind?" Zoro asked. He had been itching for some real action for a long time. "Bounty hunting. We have 3 years until we set sail for the grand line, when that time comes we''ll need money for food and supplies during our journey, and we''ll also need sailing experience and combat experience. So why not kill 3 birds with one stone, and sail around the east blue as bounty hunters. Using this time as a test run before we head to the grand line?" "Hell Yeah!" "It''s a good idea" "I like it" "It should be good for experience" "Let''s do it" They all said, agreeing to Miles idea. "Good, but since we are doing this, we will need disguises," Miles stated. "Because even after we become pirates, we''ll still need money and bounty hunting is an easy way to get money. Unfortunately a pirate can''t cash in bounties on other pirates, hence we''ll need disguises. "Ok, so what will the disguises be?" Nami asked. "That''s easy" Miles said as his hair turned white and his left arm became metal. It should be noted that, this group of teenagers, do not look like teenagers. They all looked like they were at least 22, they didn''t know why, but it was speculated to be because of their primordial bloodlines, pushing their bodys into the prime of their lives faster. "I see, The Winter Soldier" Kuina said. "Correction, The Winter Soldiers" Miles spoke as he pulled out 5 clear pills. "What are these?" Erza asked Miles as she took one of the pills from him and started examining it. "These are pills that will change your hair colour to white for 24 hours, after that you will return to normal. Each of you take a few, but don''t eat it yet. Today we''ll rest, and tomorrow our hunt will begin." After that they all left the time chamber to relax for the rest of the day, all except for Miles. Instead he went towards the docks. Miles didn''t want to use the Death Rider for bounty hunting as it would be recognizable in the future when they became pirates. So instead they would use Arlong''s old ship which Miles had kept. As soon as Miles got close to the ship, the first thing he noticed was the big ugly sawtooth figurehead. He sighed and then took a bunch of different materials out of his inventory, and got to work remodeling. A few hours later he was finished and was very happy with the new design. The ship''s body was now reinforced with vibranium instead of only being made of wood, he had added a propeller at the back, and he had changed the appearance of the ship. The sails and flag now had dark blue colour with a red star in the middle, the ship itself was painted white, and the figurehead was an angel with her wings unfolded. Miles named this new ship the Siberian, since it would be carrying The Winter Soldiers for the next few years. After he was finished he went home to relax until him and his crew set out tomorrow. ==== Join my pat.reon it''s only $2 *******.com/GHOSTS27 Chapter 11 - The Winter Soldiers After Miles finished his sentence, he pulled out a large stack of wanted posters and started speaking again. "For the next few years these will be our targets. First up is ''Bear Paw'' Pete with a bounty of 1 million. He ate a zoan-type devil fruit called the bear-bear fruit, hence the nickname ''Bear Paw''. He was last sighted at Eagle island one week ago and he should still be there. Nami plot us a course, Nojiko take the wheel. ""Yes captain!"" They replied with vigor as Nami pulled out a map and compass while Nojiko took the helm. Eagle island was named this because, the shape of the island looks like an eagle with its wings spread. Two days later the crew was just off the coast of eagle island. Miles then gathered his crew and told them the plan. "Alright everyone here''s the plan. Once we get to the island, we''ll split into pairs and search for info on the target. If you find the target, radio in and wait for the rest of us to arrive before you do anything else. If the target attacks you first, then you are clear to engage. Got it?" Miles They all nodded their heads, complying with what he said. "Good. Get ready we''ll arrive at the island in a few minutes" Miles told them as he put on his half mask, changed his hair from it''s midnight purple to white, and made left arm became metal. The rest of the crew did the same, taking the pills that made their hair white and equipping their half masks. 10 minutes later, they were on the island. Once they arrived, Miles gave them each of them a personally made, indestructible walkie talkies that could be used anywhere in the world, he then split them into pairs. The pairs were; Nojiko/Nami, Kuina/Zoro, and Miles/Erza. After that, they split up to find ''Bear Paw Pete''. Chapter 12 - Black Heart Pirates 12 At the docks of Cocoyasi, there was a ship that looked like it was from the future, on the antenna of the ship, flew a jolly roger. The jolly roger was black heart underneath an angry skull with a smaller black heart on its forehead, it also had a cross bones under the skull with a third bone running vertically through the other two. (Cover picture) This ship was the Death Rider and it was flying the flag of the newly created Black Heart Pirates. It had been 1 year since the Winter Soldiers cashed in the bounty for Kuro of a Hundred Plans and "retired" from bounty hunting. After their withdrawal from bounty hunting, they decided to take a year off and spend time with their families, before they left to become pirates. Kuina and Zoro returned to Isshin Dojo in Shimotsuki village, while Nami, Nojiko, Erza, and Miles returned to Cocoyasi for some much needed rest. It was not so much physical, as it was mental rest. During their time as bounty hunters they had seen what pirates and corrupt marines were really capable of. After a year off, they all reunited and were just about to leave for the grand line. "I can''t believe you''re becoming pirates" said Genzo while shaking his head. "Well, believe it old man" Nojiko said as she patted him on the shoulder. Belle-mere walked up and hugged Nami, Nojiko and Erza. "Be Careful and have fun" She said. "Don''t worry, no one can hurt us" "and if they tried to, they''d be sorry" Nami and Erza replied as they got on the ship. Miles also hugged Belle-mere and whispered something in her ear. "I will be sure to visit often." He said as he gave her a shot kiss. The rest of the village waved goodbye form the docks as the Black Heart Pirates set off for the grand line. "So, where to fist captain?" Nami asked Miles. "I say we hold a celebration for finally becoming pirates and since I don''t feel like cooking, first stop the baratie. After that we''ll make a quick stop at loguetown, then to the entrance of the grand line." "Alright, i''ll plot a course." She replied as she walked towards the helm. Miles then put on a captain''s coat that matched his midnight purple hair colour. The coat was slim fit and had his jolly roger sewn into the back, this jacket combined with his handsome face would easily make him stand out in a crowd. He walked over to the railing of the ship and looked out over the blue ocean with a smile on his face while thinking ''This is when the fun begins." ---- It''s been couple hours since the Death Rider had started sailing towards the baratie. On the deck of the ship, Zoro was lifting weights, Kuina was cleaning her sword, Nojiko was refilling her ammo mags, Erza was reading a book, and Nami and Miles were on the bridge controlling the ship. Suddenly cannon fire interrupted what the crew was doing. A cannonball hit the side of their ship, shattering upon impact, but slightly rocking the ship. The crew look to the direction of where the cannonball came from, and there they saw a monstrosity of a pirate ship. The enemy ship was painted pink and covered in hearts, with a swan figurehead and a simple jolly roger that had a sideways skull with a heart on it. When the crew saw this ship, they immediately knew it was the Alvida pirates. Miles searched their ship with observation haki to see if they had already picked up the barrel Luffy was in, luckily they had not found him yet. Miles did not want to meet Luffy, he would be dense to speak to without getting a headache, and Miles couldn''t kill him without creating new problems. Those problems being, the marines for killing the grandson of the marine hero Garp, the revolutionary army for killing the son of their leader Dragon, and finally, the Whitebeard pirates for killing the brother of their second division commander Ace. Miles might even piss off Shanks if he killed Luffy. Granted, the Black Heart Pirates could easily annihilate all of these aforementioned forces but it would be too much of a hassle, and then there was the fact that the Black Heart Pirates were already friends with Ace, but that was a story for another time. Miles told Nami to stop the ship and after she did, the both of them went down to join the others on the deck. As the Black Heart Pirates watched Alvida''s ship get closer, Zoro asked, "Should I cut it in half?" he said as he started to draw his sword. "Just wait, this could be interesting" Miles answered back. Zoro nodded his head while pushing his sword back down into its sheath. When her ship got close enough, Alvida and her crew boarded the Death Rider. "This ship and everything on it is now mine! You all-" Alvida started speaking but stopped when she and her crew saw the occupants of the ship they had just boarded. Standing in front of them were 6 of the best looking people they had ever seen in their entire life, especially the one in the captain''s coat. While the Alvida pirates stood awestruck because the appearance of the Black Hearts, Miles teleported himself to a position a few inches from Alvida. He pulled his arm back then quickly delivered an open hand palm strike to Alvida''s stomach, sending her flying off into the horizon. Miles didn''t know if Alvida would find the smooth-smooth fruit in this timeline, if she did then she could have a chance of joining his crew, if she didn''t then oh well. "Okay, now you can kill them. I''m gonna go check their ship for loot. Also, try not to get any blood on our ship or you''re cleaning it up." Miles said as he hopped on to Alvida''s ship. When Nami heard what her boyfriend was doing, berry signs appeared in her eyes and she followed after him. As Miles and Nami ventured into the ship, above deck the sounds of gunshots and sword cutting into flesh could be heard. The captain and navigator ignored the slaughter happening above deck and searched the ship for valuables. While Nami looked for money and other treasures, Miles went to the cargo area to take their supplies. As soon as Miles walked into the room he noticed one of the barrel''s was shivering, almost like it was cold. Miles immediately knew someone was hiding inside and also knew who it was and smiled, he preceded to put all of the cargo into his inventory then pick up the shivering barrel and leave. Miles made his way back to the Death Rider while carrying the barrel and on his way he found Nami also returning to the ship with a large c.h.e.s.t full of gold and berries. Both of them went back topside and found blood and bodies littered across the deck. The carnage was all on Alvida''s ship, there was not even a drop of blood on their own ship. Nami and Miles hopped back onto the Death Rider and Miles signaled to Zoro to burn down Alvida''s ship with a nod. Nami went to put her loot away and Miles placed the barrel on the deck then sat down on top of it. "What''s in the barrel?" Nojiko asked. "Wait till Nami gets back then i''ll show you." Miles said. This intrigued the crew, so now they were all interested in the barrel. A few minutes later Nami returned and the whole crew gathered around Miles. He hopped off the barrel then pulled the lid off. "You can come out now" Miles said to the person hidden in the barrel, slowly the head of a teenage boy raised out of the barrel. The boy was a small, and a bit chubby with pink hair and round-frame glasses. "Please don''t hurt me" the boy said in a timid voice. "We''re not going to hurt you, so come out of the barrel and tell us your name and why you were on a pirate ship, when you''re obviously not a pirate." Miles said to the pink haired boy. The boy nodded his head and got out of the barrel, falling on his face in the process, he quickly got up then started explaining what happened to him. "M-my name is Koby, two years ago I just wanted to go fishing but I accidentally boarded a Alvida''s ship by mistake, in exchange for my life I worked as a chore boy." "So you''re kinda clumsy and dumb, like Zoro." Kuina said as she gestured to him with her thumb. "YOU WANT TO GO WOMAN!" Zoro yelled at her as he unsheathed his 3 swords. "LETS GO THEN!" She replied as she also pulled her swords then made a large ice platfort on the water for their duel. "*Sigh* I''ll go make sure they don''t severely injure each other." Erza said, walking away with a sigh. While Kuina and Zoro had their epic fight in the background, the others continued speaking to Koby. "Why didn''t you try to escape?" Nami asked. "Well... I did build a small raft, but I didn''t have the courage to try it. I guess my fate was to be a chore boy for the rest of my life. But I once dreamed of joining the marines and fighting pirates like Alvida." Koby replied. "If you want to join the marines just so you can fight pirates like Alvida, then I think it would be better if you just became a bounty hunter instead." Nojiko said. Koby looked at her with a confused expression and asked "Why?" but Nami was the one to answer him. "Koby, not everything is in black and white. Not all pirates are bad, and not all marines are good, take admiral Akainu for example, he would kill civilians or even his own subordinates if it meant completing his mission and enforcing his brand of justice." "Why would he do something like that?" Koby asked. This time it was Miles who answered him. "Who knows, that''s just the way he is. Admiral Kizaru is like that too, maybe not as extreme as Akainu, but would still do what is needed of him." When Miles finished speaking, he saw that Koby now had seeds of doubt about the marines planted in him. This is just what Miles was hoping for, he wanted Koby to join his crew. The reason he wanted Koby on his crew was because in the future, Koby would unlock very powerful observation haki that could be very useful. "Okay, if you really want to follow your dreams and join the marines, then we''ll take you to Shells town. There''s a marine base there that you can enlist in." Miles said to him. "Do you really think I could do it?" Koby asked. "My dream is to be King of the Pirates. I don''t think it will happen, I know it will. No If''s, and''s or but''s, I WILL be the King, and no one will stop me. Let me ask you a question Koby. Is it really your dream to be a marine, or is it something else? Think about it while we make our way to Shels town." Koby didn''t say anything and just nodded his head in response to Miles'' words. A few minutes later Kuina and Zoro had finished their fight with Zoro coming out on top, albeit not by much. This would mark his 2001 win, tying their win/loss records. Soon the two of them returned to the Death Rider, Miles used [Perfect Heal] on them healing the wounds they gave each other during the fight. Afterwards Death Rider started sailing in the direction of Shells town so Koby could see if he really wanted to be a marine or not. ==== Chapter 13, is available on *******. *******.com/GHOSTS27 Chapter 13 - Shells Town As the Death rider sailed towards Shells Town, Koby started asking the crew a few questions to pass the time. "Miles, you said that you will be the king of pirates but that means you''ll have to go to enter grand line right?" He asked. "Yep." Miles replied. "But that place is known as the ''pirates graveyard'', a lot of pirates have tried and failed to even make it to the first island." Koby said. "That''s true, but we''ve been training since we were kids to go there and we''re very strong." "We can handle anything the grand line throws at us." This time it was Erza who responded, with Nojiko chiming in at the end. Soon Nami''s voice was heard over the ship''s p.a. When she said that, everyone looked towards the bow of the ship. In front of them was Shells Town, the home of the 153rd marine branch. As the Death Rider docked, Miles took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, it was almost 6pm, meaning they wouldn''t make it to the baratie before it closes for the night. He sighed and told his crew the news which in turn made them sigh as well. "Lisen, we will still go the the baratie tomorrow but for today we''ll eat here. Zoro, Koby and I will go the marine base while Kuina, Erza, Nojiko and Nami will go find a restaurant for dinner. When you find one, contact us on the radio." Miles relayed his instructions then they all nodded and split up. 10 minutes later Miles, Zoro and Koby were standing in front of marine branch 153. The base was shaped like a thin volcano and had been painted sky blue with navy blue scratch like marks painted on top. The base also had a grey brick wall surrounding it along with a large metal double door, and on both sides of the large double door were two normal sized doors. "Are you ready Koby?" Zoro asked. Koby looked nervous but nodded his head as he took a step towards the door, but before he could push it open the sound of wood hitting the wall was heard beside the three teens. The three of them turned their heads and saw a young girl with black eyes and brown hair with pigtails, she wore a striped turquoise and purple shirt with a white hood. She looked at the three teens and signaled for them with a shush, she then climbed up the ladder and jumped over the wall . Seeing this sight made the three of them very confused, this was especially for Miles since he knew who the girl is. In the original timeline, Zoro was imprisoned by the marines because he defended the girl when she was nearly attacked by wolf owned by the son of the marine captain. Miles and Zoro got close to wall then jumped up and peaked over. Koby was not athletic enough to do the same as them so he used the ladder that was still there. The three of them saw the girl trot over to a man that was tied to a cross shaped pole. The man was tall with tanned skin and long white hair that he wears loosely. He wears a red robe and with a white armband on his left arm along with red shoes on his feet. ''He looks familiar. Where have I seen him before?'' Miles thought as he racked his brain trying to figure out who that man was. "Saga?" Zoro mutterd. "You know him?" Miles asked. "Yeah. I met him a month or two after I joined Isshin dojo. He wanted to be a swordsmen too, but he was in accident and his right arm was paralyzed. After that he disappeared. And with that, it clicked in Miles'' head. His eyes went wide and he stared at the man tied to the pole, confirming that it was indeed Saga from the fifth One piece movie. ''He''s not a canon character, how is he here? Chole what is going on? Does this mean that all the movies are canon now? {Yeah, I thought you figured this out already when you met the neo-marines?} ''I thought Zephyr and the neo-marines were canon?'' {Zephyr is, the neo-marines are not.} ''Oh.... Well this is unexpected, I didn''t make any plans for non-canon situations. *Sigh* Well, on the bright side, I will get to visit the Gran Tesoro in the future. I''m sure everyone will love that.'' While Miles was speaking to Chloe, the young girl had pulled out some food and spoke to him. "I made some rice balls for you! you haven''t eaten in a long time right?" She said with a large smile. "I told you not to come here. Leave or i''ll kill you!" Saga responded in a angry tone attempting to scare the kid away. But the only thing it did was make her sad. "But-" She didn''t get to finish because she was cut off by Saga. "GET OUT!" Saga bellowed. "Saga, don''t pick on children, or else I''ll have to report it to my father." A voice was heard from the gate as a man walked in followed by two marines. He is a skinny and lanky-looking young man with light blonde hair shaped like a sideways oval on top of his head. He also has a cleft chin and wore dark purple marine uniform with white shoes and a rubber band ring on his left hand. "Well if it isn''t Helmeppo, the idiot son of marine captain Morgan." Saga said in disdain. "Did you just call me an idiot? A man in your position should watch your tongue or you might lose it." Helmeppo said to Saga as he walked over to the girl. "Well hello, little girl. Did you bring those rice balls for me? How thoughtful." Helmeppo said as he snatched one of the rice balls from her hands. "Hey! Give that back!" She said as Helmeppo bit into the rice ball. "BLEGH. Did you put sugar in this?! It''s supposed to be salt!" Helmeppo said as he spat out the rice ball. "B-But I thought it would taste better if it was sweeter." She said in a low voice. "How could someone eat this? It''s completely inedible!" He said as he took the rice balls, threw them on the ground and stomped them into the dirt. "Stop it you''re ruining them!" The girl pleaded with Helmeppo to stop. "Th-that''s so cruel! That little girl worked really hard making those rice balls." Koby whispered. At this point Zoro was ready to hop the wall and kill Helmeppo, but Miles held him back, "Don''t worry the ants will eat them" Helmeppo said with a smug smile. The little girl now had tears in eyes. "Oh stop crying. This is why I hate kids. It''s your own fault, can''t you read this sign? Anyone who helps a prisoner will be charged with the same crimes. -Marine Captain Morgan" Helmeppo said as he pointed at the sign next to him. "Oi, thow this brat out" Helmeppo said to one of the marines with him. "Huh!? B-But..." The marine stutterd not knowing what to do. "Hurry up! If You don''t do it, I will tell my father!" Helmeppo yelled at the marine. "Y-Yes sir!" The marine replied quickly as he grabbed the girl and tossed her over the wall. "Ahh!" She screamed but Miles teleported and caught her, landing safely on the ground. Zoro and Koby got down to check on the kid while Miles climbed the wall again. "I didn''t think you had this kind of endurance. If you can last until then end of the month We will release you. Good luck. hahaha." Hemapo laughed as he walked away with the two marines. Once he was gone, Miles jumped the wall and landed a few feet from Saga. "Who are you?" Saga asked as he scanned the handsome man in front of him. "I''m just an observer. The real question is, who are you? And why are you here?" Miles asked him. "Why do you care?" Saga asked in annoyance. "Because I do, Now talk." Miles said. It felt like a command to Saga and for some reason he thought something bad would happen if he didn''t answer the man standing in front of him "...My name is Saga, I''m a bounty hunter. I came to Shells Town so I could join the marines and give up hunting so I could have solid financial support for when I marry my fianc¨¦." Saga said. "Okay Saga, that explains why you came to Shells Town but not how you got arrested." "*Sigh* That''s because..." Saga explained why he got arrested and it was just like what happened to Zoro in the original timeline. "I see. Well I would bust you out of here, but that would make you a fugitive. I guess you will need to tough it out for the month. That doesn''t mean i can''t help you a bit though." Miles said as he used [Perfect Heal] on Saga, healing his wounds and even fixing his paralyzed right arm, of course Saga didn''t notice it since he was tied up. "Well, I better go before that moron Helmeppo gets back" Miles said as he turned to leave. "Hold on! Can you pick that up for me?" Saga asked gesturing to the crushed rice balls. "That''s more dirt then rice now..." Miles said. "Just give it to me" Saga insisted. Miles smiled then used his Time-Time fruit to reverse time around the rice balls, making them whole again. "How did you-" "Don''t worry about it and eat." Miles cut Saga off by stuffing the rice balls into his mouth. A few minutes later, Saga was finished eating. "Tell that girl, they were delicious." Saga said. "Sure. See you next time." Miles said as he teleported to the other side of the wall where Zoro and Koby were still calming down the little girl. "Hey kid, what''s your name?" Miles asked the girl. "Rika." She answered, still sad and scared about what just happened. Miles then kneeled in front of her and told her what Saga said. "He ate the rice balls, he said they were delicious." "Really?" She asked immediately brightening up. Miles nodded his head to answer her question. "Why do you think Saga was arrested?" Koby asked. Rika was about to tell them but before she could, Miles covered her mouth. "Let''s find the girls first then Rika can tell us right?" Miles said as he looked at Rika. She nodded understanding they three had more friends with them. Erza''s voice was heard from Miles'' walkie talkie. "Speak of the devil and she shall appear." Zoro said. "Rika, do you know a bar named food foo?" Miles asked her. "That''s my mom''s bar, I can take you there!" Rika said in a hurry. "Great" Miles replied to Rika, then to Erza through his radio. ---- The guys and Rika had met up at Food foo and Rika had told them the story of how Saga got arrested. Rika''s Mother Ririka also told them about Helmelpo''s father, marine captain Morgan. She said that he was a dictator who ruled over Shells Town with an Iron fist. Apparently he even raised the taxes so that he could build a statute of himself and line his own pockets. This made everyone very angry, except for Miles and Koby. Miles knew the story from the original timeline, and Koby was more confused than mad. ''How could the marines let this happen? Marines are meant to stand for justice.'' Thought Koby. Then he remembered what Miles had told him when they first met. "Not all marines are good and not all pirates are bad. Not everything is in black ans white..." While Koby was having his inner turmoil, Helmeppo barged into the bar, sat down and put his feet up on the table. "I''m hungry, bring me whatever you got, and keep the check for yourself. Oh, and get me a bottle of your finest moonshine or whatever crap you serve, and put some speed to it lady I dont have all day. I still need to have that moron Saga executed later hehehe." Helmeppo chuckled as he demanded from Rika''s mother, who was standing behind the counter. The two marines that were with him looked very uncomfortable with his actions but didn''t say anything. Once the Black Heart Pirates heard what Helmeppo said they were ready to put the hurt on Helmeppo, But Zoro was the fastest to act. He got up and ran towards Helmeppo, he raised his fist and punched Helmeppo directly in his cleft chin sending him flying into the wall *BAM*.Zoro then pulled out his sword and was about to kill Helmeppo but Miles grabbed his stopping him. "Let me go! I''m gonna kill em." Zoro yelled. "No. He''ll get what''s coming to him later, just wait and see." Miles replied. "YOU HIT ME!? YOU ACTUALLY HIT ME!? I''M GOING TO TELL MY FATHER ABOUT THIS, THEN HE''LL HAVE YOU ALL KILLED!" Helmeppo screamed in hysteria as he ran out the door towards the marine base. "Why did you let him go?" Nojiko asked, abit angry with Miles for preventing Zoro from killing Helmeppo. "Because I have an idea." Miles said with a devilish smile. ==== Chapter 14, is available on pat,reon. pat.reon.com/GHOSTS27 Chapter 14 - Anticlimactic End In the main building of the marine base. In an office with window overlooking all of Shells Town, and two marines inside. One man sat at a desk smoking a cigar, while the other man stood in front of the doors. "I AM.... GREAT!" The man with the cigar said. "Yes sir! You are right captain Morgan sir!" Said the marine to the now identified, captain Morgan. "And yet the taxes we collect don''t even compare to my sheer degree of greatness" Morgan said while taking a large puff of his cigar. "About that... It seems the citizens are having financial problems..." The marine replied nervously. "The issue is not about money. It''s because they don''t respect me enough!" In the hallway, the sound of footsteps and wailing could be heard. Suddenly the office door burst open, it was Helmeppo holding a cloth on his face where Zoro had punched him. "DAD! I need you to kill someone!" He w.h.i.n.ed. "What happened, Helmeppo?" Morgan asked. ---- 10 minutes earlier at the Food Foo bar.... "Why did you let him go?" Nami asked, abit angry with Miles for preventing Zoro from killing Helmeppo. "Because I have an idea." Miles said with a devilish smile. "What is it?" Nojiko asked. Out of everyone here, she has always been the most m.a.t.u.r.e, so she was able to calm down almost immediately after Zoro punched Helmeppo. "Haven''t you noticed it yet? It seems the marines here don''t like their boss, or their bosses son for that matter. The problem is, they can''t rebel in fear of either Morgan himself, or the punishment they would get from marine HQ for usurping a marine captain. That being said, what would happen if a crew of pirates attacked the marine base here, and captain Morgan was killed?" Miles asked his crew. Nojiko caught on quickly and answered his question with a smile. If a crew of pirates attacked, then their would be no repercussions for the marines if they lost their captain in battle." "Ding ding ding, she wins. Any suggestions for your prize?" Miles asked. "I will tell you later." She said as she gave him a seductive stare. ''I can''t wait till later'' Miles thought, while trying to shake off the urge to take Nojiko back to the ship for a night of fun. "Ehem." Kuina cleared her throat getting the attention of Miles and Nojiko who were slipping into their own little world. The two of them snapped out of it and noticed that everyone, save for Zoro and Koby, were glaring at them. Zoro had gotten used to the girls fighting for Miles'' affection a long time ago, and Koby wa too innocent to understand what just happened. "The plan?" Kuina said in an miffed tone. "Hehe. Right, the plan. Here''s what''s gonna happen. Zoro, Kuina and I, will to the courtyard where Saga is being held, tell him what Helmeppo was going to do, then release him. As that''s done, I want Erza and Nojiko to go to the top of the marine base and destroy that big ugly statue of captain Morgan they''re putting up." Miles explained his plan, but one person was left out. "What will I be doing?" Nami asked. "You my dear, have a different job. While all that is going on, I want to go into the base and rob them of everything they have. Here, take this with you." He said as he handed her a purse. "It''s nice, but why are you giving me this now?" She asked as she looked at the beautiful louis vuitton inspired handbag. "That is an item bag. It can hold an infinite amount of items, so you can put anything in there. Don''t lose it" Once Nami heard of what the bag could do she hugged it like a child who had just found a new toy. Back to the present... A few people hopped the wall at the marine base and made their way over to the tied up prisoner, Saga. Saga heard the sound of footsteps and looked up, there he saw 3 people walking towards him. One of them was the man he met earlier who called himself an absever, the other was a beautiful women with long dark blue hair tied in a ponytail, and the last person had short green hair and was very familiar to Saga. "Zoro, is that you!?" Saga called out to the man with 3 swords. "Hey buddy, its good to see you again after all these years." Zoro replied with a smile. "Why are your here?" Saga asked, to which Zoro replied "We overheard that bastard Helmeppo say he was planing to execute you later today. So we''re here to bust you out." "WHAT!? THAT MOTHERF.U.C.KER!" Saga yelled in indignation. "Calm down. You''re not dying today. My captain came up with a plan to free you, without making you a fugitive from the marines." Kuina said as she pulled out one of her swords and cut Saga''s bindings. Suddenly a loud boom was heard from above them, than Nami came casually strolling out of the base walking towards them. "Hey guys." She said as she waved to them. 5 minutes earlier... Atop the main building of the marine base, Captain Morgan was watching as his marines to pulled stone statue of himself to its feet. "Heave ho, heave ho, heave ho." "Well dad, are you going to get revenge on this guy or what. I mean he just out right struck me in public. You''ve never hit me why should he be able to?" Helmeppo w.h.i.n.ed to the back of his father. "Do you have any idea why I never hit you?" Morgan asked, turning his head slightly. "Uhh.. Is it because i''m great and beloved son..?" Helmeppo inquired. "No... IT''S BECAUSE YOUR A STUPID FOOL WHO ISN''T EVEN WORTH HITTING." Morgan said loudly as he turned around punched Helmeppo sending him into the wall. Morgan is a very tall and muscular, intimidating man with blonde hair and a steel jaw. His right hand is replaced by a huge steel axe, the handle of which seems to go right through his forearm. Morgan slowly stepped towards the down Helmeppo, and picked him up with the nose of his axe. He then started speaking again. "I don''t want you to get the wrong idea... The only great one around here, is the man you call Your father!" He said to a shaking and terrified Helmeppo. He then dropped him and turned around while taking. "Which reminds me. I heard a rat snuck into the crucifixion yard?" Morgan said. "Y-yes the little girl b-but I had her dealt with..." Helmeppo stuttered. "I hope that means killed" Morgan spoke. "No, I-I didn''t kill her she''s just a kid" Helmeppo said. "You there! Go into town find that girl and kill her" Morgan ordered his lieutenant. "But sir. You can''t be serious... She''s Just a little kid Sir!" He replied. "I don''t care if she''s a child or not! Anyone who disobeys my orders is a traitor!" Morgan said. "No sir... I can''t do it..." The lieutenant said. Morgan then raised is axe, then swung it down on the back of the lieutenant. "UWAAAAAH, YOU KILLED HIM!" helmeppo screamed. ""LIEUTENANT!"" two marines rushed over the the lieutenant the check on him. "My strength is what I used to rise to the rank of captain. Rank is the most important thing in this world!! I am the highest ranking officer in this base, which means i''m the greatest one here!! THAT MEANS EVERYTHING I DO IS RIGHT!! Is that clear?" Morgan said as he gave an intimidating glare to the marines. "YES SIR! VERY CLEAR!" They responded, scared they would be next to die. "NOW RAISE MY STATUE, SO THAT THE WORLD CAN WITNESS MY GREATNESS!" Morgan ordered. "That has got to be the ugliest statue i''ve ever seen! We should get rid of it." "I was thinking the same thing." A pair of voices were heard from behind. The marines turned around to see two extremely beautiful women standing on the edge of the roof. One had Long crimson hair that reached down to her waist, and the other had wavy shoulder length blue hair and tanned skin tone. This was Erza and Nojiko. Suddenly Erza disappeared, then reappeared by the statue. She than cut the ropes that the marines were using to pull the statue making it fall. As it fell, Nojiko pulled out her guns, channeled her light power into them, then pulled the trigger. The light beams crashed into the statue, blowing it into little pieces. All the marines were dead silent, even Morgan. "Well, it looks like our work here is done" Nojiko said as she and Erza jumped off the roof. "AFTER THEM, I WANT THEM DEAD!" Morgan yelled to subordinates. "Captain, they jumped towards the crucifixion yard!" One of the marines said. Morgan ran over to the edge and looked down at the yard. There he saw the 2 girls who broke his statue, and saw that 4 other people had released the prisoner. "ALL OF YOU GET DOWN THEIR! I WANT THEM ALL CAPTURED ALIVE, SO I CAN KILL THEM MYSELF!" Morgan loudly ordered. "Yes sir!" The marines responded as the ran downstairs, with Morgan leading the charge. ---- Earlier, after Miles had explained the plan, he sent Nami ahead of everyone else so she would have enough time to search the base for the vault. She easily infiltrated the base, and was ready to have some fun. ''Now, let''s find some treasure.'' Nami thought as she made her way through the base. After 10 minutes of walking through the halls, Nami came across a door that was guarded by two marines. She quickly knocked them out, then entered the door. This door turned out to be the office of captain Morgan. She searched the place looking for anything useful when she came across a wall safe, hidden behind two barrels. "Why, hello there." She said as she opened the safe. Inside, was small grey box of jewels and a rolled up paper that looked like a map. She put the jewels in her bag then picked up the map, opening it in the process. She looked at it and was instantly annoyed by what she saw. On the map were the words "I have flashily stolen your grandline map - Buggy" accompanied by a jolly roger with a big red nose on it. "What kind of moronic thief leaves a note... Well on the brightside, if I give this to Miles, I might be able to get a ''reward'' like Nojiko." Nami said as she put the map into her bag. She then continued to scour the base and eventually she found the vault. She coated her hands with haki, then ripped open the vault door. Inside the vault were mountains of berries and treasures, which she happily put into her bag. Once Nami had finished, she heard a boom from above, then the building shook a bit. "I guess that''s my queue to leave" She said, as she made her way to the crucifixion yard. She casually walked out the door and waved her crewmates and said "Hey guys". Nojiko and Erza then landed and walked towards the crew as well. About a minute later Morgan and his marines finally showed up. "End of the line! For the crimes you have committed against me, I sentence you all to death! FIRE!" Morgan said as the marines around him shot their guns at the intruders. Miles quickly used his devil fruit to make a sand wall in front of Saga. The crew then all just stood still as the bullets passed through them. When the marines stopped firing after seeing their bullets did nothing, they were all very scared. "What the f.u.c.k are these people!" One of the marines asked. "They aren''t normal... they must have eating devil fruits.... Listen up men! If guns don''t then use sword!" Morgan said. The marines then proceeded to pull out their swords and rush the crew. Kuina then took a step forward, and destroyed the swords of the oncoming marines with a single slash of her katana, knocking them down in the process. Miles then slowly walked past her and the grounded marines, as he made his way to Morgan. "Well, this has been fun. But we have many other things to do and I''m getting bored so lets end this, shall we?" Miles said as he looked at Morgan. "If you think you can fight me alone, you''ll will regret this, boy!" Morgan responded as he stepped forward while taking off his coat. "I don''t think I will." Miles replied sarcastically. "HAH!" Morgan swung his axe down at Miles, but instead of it passing through him, Miles caught the axe with his left hand, and with his right, he used his hidden blade to stab Morgan in the heart. "If you honestly thought this fight would go any different after seeing what we were capable of, then you are dumber than I originally thought. Goodbye Morgan, You won''t be missed." Miles said. He then channeled lightning through his blade and fried Morgan''s insides. Morgan''s skin turned red and his eyeballs popped as blood poured out of his ears, nose, mouth, and eye sockets. Miles gave him a quick but painful death. "*Sigh* Well that was anticlimactic." Miles said as Morgan''s lifeless body fell to the ground. "Morgan''s dead... YES!" "WE''RE FREE!" "MORGAN''S REIGN OF TERROR IS OVER!" ==== Chapter 15, is available on pat,reon. pat.reon.com/GHOSTS27 Chapter 15 - I need some help... Hey readers, Mr. Author man here. I need your help with something and after that, I have a question for all of you. So I need some nicknames for the crews wanted posters. I can''t really call Zoro the "pirate hunter" anymore can I. I was thinking of still using "Cat Burglar Nami" since she will still be the crew''s thief. but if you have better suggestions please tell me. That being said, I need new nicknames for Nojiko, Erza, Kuina, Zoro and possibly Nami. I already decided, Miles will just be called "Blackheart Miles" Or "Blackheart Miller". I will put the both in the comments and you can vote by liking the one you want, whichever one gets the most likes, wins. ---- So I''m currently in the middle Okay now for the question, but first some context. If you read chapter 14, it means that you know Nojiko will be getting a "reward". So the question is... Do you want a lemon? I will put a poll in the comments, the one with the most likes, wins. Disclaimer. If lemon wins, it will not be very long, A few paragraphs at most. I feel like i''m going to regret this... Chapter 15 - Royal Haki It''s been about an hour since Morgan''s death, and currently the crew, along with Koby, Saga and the rest of Shells town were having party at the food foo''s restaurant, and celebrating the downfall of the tyrant. Saga was in a great mood and was in the middle of telling Zoro and the crew what had happened after his accident when he was a kid, and how he had met his fianc¨¦e Maya. The reason he was so happy was because he had finally had the use of his right arm back. When he finally noticed it after Morgan''s defeat, he broke down crying and thanking Miles over and over again. "As the party went on the town had a wonderful time, unfortunately, it couldn''t last forever. The door to the bar was pushed open and a group of marines walked in, and the place went silent. The marine with tanned skin and a goatee walked up to the crew. "Excuse me but, we heard a rumor that you were all pirates... Is this true?" He asked. "It is..." Miles said slowly after taking a sip of his scotch. "I see. We appreciate everything you''ve done to save our town from that horrible tyrant, who terrorized us all for so long. However now that we know you''re pirates... As marines we can not allow you to stay here any longer. Therefore you and your crew will need to leave this town immidialy. But out of respect for what you''ve done here, we will not report you to headquarters." The marine said. "Are you crazy!?" "They are our saviors!" "How could you do that to them!" The townsfolk spoke up in defence of the Black Heart Pirates, but the marines said nothing and just waited. Miles raised his hand gesturing for them to stop. Once everyone calmed down Miles started speaking. "We understand." Miles said as he and the crew stood up ready to leave. "It was good to see you Saga. I hope the next time we meet, you will introduce me to your fianc¨¦e." Zoro said as he patted his friend on the shoulder. "Aren''t you with them?" the marine asked Saga and Koby. "....I came here to join the marines, not a become a pirate." Saga said after thinking for a few seconds. It was indeed tempting to join them, but that would put Maya in danger, and he would never want anything bad to happen to her. "What about you?" The Marine asked Koby. "I..I...Yes i''m with them. I''m a pirate." Koby hesitated at first, but then responded with determination. """"What!?"""" The crew said surprised, except for Miles who just silently waited to hear Koby''s explanation. "I''ve finally realized that, my dream was not to become a marine, but to help people who have been oppressed, like how Morgan tyrannized Shells Town, and in my case, when Alvida me feel completely helpless. Miles, you were right when you said not all marines were good and not all pirates were bad. I would like to join your crew and bring those who are evil to justice, whether it be marine or pirate," "Welcome to the Black Heart Pirates." Miles said with a smile. He then looked over to Saga and had an idea. "Well Saga, since you won''t be joining us, I have a parting gift for you." Miles said as he bought a certain sword from his system. "This is the One-Cut Killer: Murasame. It is a cursed blade that could kill a person with a single cut, once the sword pierced the skin, a poisonous curse spread through the victim''s body, killing them within seconds by stopping their heart. So try not to cut yourself when you clean it okay?" "Thank you for this gracious gift. I will treasure for all my years." Saga said in a formal tone along with a bow. "Alright let''s go" Miles said to his crew. ---- "Where do you think you''re going pirates?" A tall, tanned, broad-c.h.e.s.ted, muscular old man with an intimidating aura asked. "Well if it isn''t vice-admiral Garp. What''s a big shot like you doing in a little place like this?" Miles asked, completely disregarding the pressure Garp was giving off. "I just came to see what kind of pirates would be bold enough to dock their ship at Shells Town, knowing there was a marine base here." Garp said with his trademarked goofy smiled. "*Sigh* Listen, as much as I would love to stay and chat for longer, we have places to be, and I don''t feel like wasting more time here. So I''m going to ask nicely, you and your subordinates move, or you will be removed." Miles said as he leaked out miniscule amount of his conqueror''s haki. ''Conqueror''s haki!!! How!? Is he doing it unconsciously or...? It doesn''t matter, I can''t let him go.'' Garp thought as the smile on his face disappeared. He coated his fists with armament haki then used soru in attempt to catch Miles off guard and knock him out. Unfortunately for Garp, Miles was fast enough to coat his own fists with armament haki, and meet Garp''s incoming punch with a punch of his own. This created a small shockwave which sent both Miles and Garp a few steps back. ''So, he even knows how to use armament and observation haki... This isn''t good, if I let this kid escape, there''s no telling what he will do once he reaches paradise, I need to take him down now!'' Garp thought as he charged at Miles without holding back. Sadly, what Garp didn''t know was that Miles was holding back a lot more than Garp was. Miles did not want to kill Garp, as Garp was one of the rare good marines that understood true justice. Even if he did bitch out when to came to Ace''s execution, Miles still would not kill him. That being said... Miles was not afraid to beat up an old man. As Garp got closer, he used shigan as he tried to pierce Miles'' shoulder. But Miles sidestepped him, grabbed Garp''s arm, and then used Garp''s momentum to to flip him upside down through the air, and punch him in the c.h.e.s.t sending him flying into a building *BAM*. A few seconds later, Garp walked out the rubble and dusted himself off. "Not bad kid. But if you think that is enough to keep this old man down, then you are very mistaken" Garp said as he re-coated his fists in haki, but this time his haki had a distinct silver colour to it, instead of it''s normal black. "Oh, the old man knows how to use royal haki. Well this just got way more interesting." Kuina said as she crossed her arms. "What''s Royal haki?" Koby asked. He had basic knowledge of what haki was, as he had overheard the crew talking about it before they arrived at Shells Town, but he was ignorant to what royal haki was. "Royal haki is sometimes mistaken for Conqueror''s haki, and in a sense, that is correct but at the same time it is wrong. In truth, Royal haki is the use of all three types of haki at peak level simultaneously. Only a few people in history have been able to use it, the most famous being Gol D. Roger." This time Erza was the one to respond. "Well if your are using Royal haki, then I guess I should too." Miles said as he also activated his Royal haki, coating his hands in a dark purple coloured haki. Afterwards teleported in front Garp, and aimed a powerful punch to his face, but Garp was just fast enough to use Kmai-e and make himself flexible enough to dodge Miles'' strike. Garp counter attacked with a left jab, and Miles lifted his right knee and brought down his right elbow, catching the jab between them. Miles then grabbed Garp''s wrist and flipped him onto the ground and put him in an armbar. *Snap* The sound a of something braking was heard, then loud wail followed. "AHHHHH!" Garp screamed in agony as he held his now broken arm after Miles let go. Garp stood up and glared at Miles. "I think it''s time to end this" Miles said before teleporting behind Garp, sweeping his legs then punching him in the spine. Garp fell to the ground unable to move and just glared at Milles who stood over him with an smug smile. "What did you do to me!?" Garp asked in a very angry tone. "I paralyzed you. But don''t worry, it''s only temporary and will wear off in an hour or two. Well this has been fun, but it''s time for me and my crew to leave. I hope we don''t meet again, or next time... I might not hold back." Miles said that last part as he unleashed the full brunt of his Conqueror''s haki, making most of Garp''s subordonnants pass out. "Heh heh. I guess they couldn''t take it. seeya. *Snap*" Miles said as he teleported his crew back to the Death Rider. "I guess I need to tell Sengoku about this. *Sigh* I''m getting to old for this shit." Garp sighed and said as he laid his head on the ground, waiting for the feeling to return to his body. ---- ''It''s fun playing the bad guy. I should do that more often.'' "Okay, raise anchor and let''s set off for the baratie. We have to celebrate Koby joining the crew." Miles thought, then spoke with a smile. "Oh right, I almost forgot. Guys I have something to show you." Nami said as she pulled out the "map" she stole from Morgan''s office. Miles looked at then he promptly facepalmed and sighed. "*Sigh* What kind of moronic thief leaves a note..?" Miles asked rhetorically. "I said the exact same thing... What an idiot." Nami said, shaking her head. "Wasn''t Buggy one of the crewmen on Roger''s ship?" Zoro asked. "Yes he was, but unlike how Shanks became an Emperor, Buggy didn''t amount to much after the Roger pirates disbanded. The only thing he''s been able to do was create his own small crew and get a bounty of about 15 million. The last I heard of him he was able to somehow take over Orange Town, but I doubt he will stay there much longer now that he has that map. hmmm" Miles thought for a moment on what to do next. ''The map only shows the first couple islands up to Alabasta, so it isn''t really that useful to us... but this could be a good opportunity to train Koby'' Miles thought as he made an evil grin while looking as his newest crew member. When Koby saw his captain''s smile, he shivered. "W-What?" Koby stutterd out, afraid of what Miles would say next. "Okay I''ve decided. We will head for Orange Town and take the map form Buggy. This will also serve as training for Koby." Miles announced to the crew. "T-Training!?" Koby said in disbelief. "Of course Koby. If you want to be on this crew and fulfill your dream, then you will need to be strong. Nami, set course for Orange Town. With a normal ship it would take us one week to get there, but with the Death Rider it should only take a day or two. During that time, Koby and I will be in the time chamber training. Nojiko, I still owe you a reward so you will be joining us in the time chamber. And Nami, for showing me that "map" I will give you your reward after I exit the chamber. Now lets raise anchor and set sail." Miles gave his orders and then the Death Rider left the Shells Town port and was off to Orange Town. ==== Sorry for the late update, there was a snow storm last night and I only got power back like an hour ago. ==== Chapter 16, is available on pat,reon. pat.reon.com/GHOSTS27 Chapter 16 - To Orange Town When Koby first saw the time chamber door, he assumed it would only lead to a small training room, but when the door was opened and he walked in, he was amazed at what he saw, it was an entirely different place altogether. There was a large grassy field and a massive mansion in the middle of it. Behind the mansion was a training ground that had many types of equipment to train the body, or train in combat. "Okay Koby, for the next 2 years, this will be your home and training ground." Miles said as he shut the door behind them. "Two years!? But you said that we would be arriving at Orange Town in two days?" "Calm down. Let me explain what this place is..." Miles went on to tell him what the chamber did, and how it would make training a lot faster. "This is amazing! So, what do you want me to do first captain?" Koby asked, after seeing the astounding sight before him, "Well first, just accept the invite, then we can get started," Miles said. "What do you mean, invi-" Before Koby could finish his sentence, a grey box of text appeared in front of his eyes. Seeing this box made Koby understand what Miles meant. He pressed accept, then the grey faded and a new box that show his status replaced it. Race: Human Age: 16 Strength: E Stamina: E Agility: E Intelligence : C+ Willpower: B- Luck: F+ Charm: E Abilities/Powers: N/A Haki: Observation Haki (Locked) Armament Haki (Locked) "Well, that''s pretty much what I expected. Okay, Koby, the next thing that''s going to happen is gonna suck, so.... try to stay awake... good luck!" Miles said quickly, as he bought Koby [Extreme Pain Resistance] from the store. "Wait, good luck with whaAAAAH!" Koby didn''t even get to finish speaking before he felt an almost unbearable pain coursing through his body. "Wow. Seeing this happen to someone else makes me remember the pain of when it happened to me." Nojiko shivered when she recalled the agony she went through when she became a primordial. "Alright, while his race change is happening, let''s go inside and talk about the reward I promised you," Miles said to Nojiko. Once she heard that, her eyes shined like stars and she pulled him into the house. ---- Once they were down to only their u.n.d.e.r.w.e.a.r, Miles lifted Nojiko up as she wrapped her legs around his waist, he then put her on the bed and unhooked her black bra, exposing her bountiful bosom. Finally they stopped kissing and just stared into each other''s eyes. Miles then leaned down and gave her a small kiss on the lips, he then moved down to her neck, then to her c.h.e.s.t where he meet the sight of two perfectly shaped b.r.e.a.s.ts with light pink n.i.p.p.l.es. Miles started to lick her right n.i.p.p.l.e while fondling her other boob with his right hand, while this was happening Miles slid his left hand down her body into the front of her black thong. "ahhh" She m.o.a.n.e.d, as Miles'' fingers made contact with her p.u.s.s.y. The foreplay continued until she was wet enough for the main event. Miles pulled off boxers and positioned himself between Nojiko''s tanned and toned legs. "Are you ready?" Miles asked as he placed the head of his d.i.c.k at the entrance of her p.u.s.s.y. "I''ve been ready for a long time." She replied with a smile as she wrapped her hands around his neck once again. Miles smiled back at her then he slowly pushed himself all the way into her. "mmh" Nojiko let out a small m.o.a.n p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e from being penetrated for the first time. Miles held onto her h.i.p.s and started moving his own like a piston, in and out, in and out. They went at it for almost 15 minutes before they felt their climax approaching. "Im gonna c.u.m!" Miles said as he started moving a bit faster. "Me too! Do it inside!" Nojiko told him as she wrapped her legs around his waist and pulled him closer. With one final thrust, Miles released his seed inside Nojiko filling her to the brim with his warm white s.e.m.e.n. They then just stayed in each other embrace for a few minutes before Nojiko pulled Miles'' head closer to hers. "I want more." She whispered to him in a very seductive voice. "Well, if you want more, then you''ll need to work for it," Miles replied as he flipped her over and put her in a cowgirl position. Nojiko smiled and then she started to ride him until they both came again. Their s.e.xcapade went on for about 6 hours, the reason they could last this long was because of their insanely high stamina. After they were finished, they just laid in bed cuddling. Nojiko was resting her head on his c.h.e.s.t and Miles had his arm wrapped around her shoulder. "I love you Miles." She said as she stared into Miles'' eyes. "I love you too Nojiko" He responded as c.a.r.e.s.sed her cheek and he gave her a gentle kiss. They then continued to cuddle until they fell asleep. They had completely forgot about Koby who had, by this time, completed his race change and was now lying unconscious in the middle of the training grounds. ---- Garp was laying down on a bed in the recovery room of the 153rd Branch. He had a cast on his left arm and was speaking to commander Ripper, the man who was currently in charge of this base and also the same man who spoke to Miles'' crew in the food foo''s bar. Ripper had just finished telling Garp about what Morgan was doing in Shells Town, and how the Black Heart Pirates saved the town from him. "Hmm. So when you shot at them, the bullets passed right through them?" Garp asked. "Yes sir," Ripper replied. "I see. Go get that Saga guy, I would like to speak to him." Garp told Ripper. Ripper gave a salute then left then room to find Saga. ''Logia fruits and haki. What the hell are people like that, doing in the east blue?'' Garp thought to himself as he pinched the bridge of his nose. He then reached into his coat, pulled out a den den mushi and quickly dialled a number. *purupuru purupuru kacha* was heard from the den den mushi before its face instantly grew a moustache and a braided goatee. "Garp, you better be calling to tell me, your on your way back to marineford." A voice said through the den den mushi in a slightly annoyed tone. "...Sengoku, we have a problem." Garp said in a solemn tone. When Sengoku heard Garp''s tone, he immediately became serious. "What happened?" Sengoku asked. "I met some pirates...." Garp told Sengoku about the Black Heart Pirates and the fight he had with their captain, Miller D. Miles. "He was able to injure you, and he can use royal haki, with that alone the world government would want him gone. Then there''s the fact that their entire crew has logia types and if their captain can use haki, they most likely can as well. Send me their photos so I can get some wanted posters made, and get back here as soon as possible. There are rookies like this popping up all over the 4 seas and the grand line. *Sigh* I''m getting too old for this shit." *Kacha* Sengoku said then hung up. *Knock knock* As Garp put his den den mushi away, he heard a knock at the door. "Come in." He said. Then Saga walked in dressed as a new marine recruit. He saluted then stood at attention. Garp looked him up and down then, with his trademark goofy grin, Garp asked: "How would you like to be a real marine?" Saga raised his eyebrow indicating that he didn''t understand, but unfortunately for him, Garp did not clarify what he meant. "Are you ready?" A beautiful women with long light blue hair, tanned skin and a long sleeve tattoo, asked a slim, pink-haired teenage boy, as she aimed a rifle at him. "Ready!" He replied as he got into a fighting stance. This was obviously Nojiko and Koby, they were about to spar so they could see how far Koby''s training come in the past two years. "Go!" Miles yelled from the side to indicate the start of their match. *Bang* *Bang* Nojiko immediately started shooting at Koby when the match began, he ran at her and dodged the bullets flying towards him using his observation haki. Once Koby was close enough he coated his hands in armament haki then grabbed the barrel of the rifle, bending it and making it unusable. Nojiko quickly dropped the rifle and kicked at Koby with her legs covered in armament haki, this caused Koby to make an ''X'' block with his arms and be pushed back a few feet. Their fight went on for a few more minutes and Koby was able to get in a few good shots before Nojiko was able to put Koby in a cloverleaf submission(look it up) forcing him to give up the fight before she really hurt him. Throughout the short spar, Nojiko had not been using her devil fruit, this was for two reasons. The first was that she needed to hold back or she might accidentally kill Koby, and the second was because Miles had not given Koby a devil fruit yet. This spar was a test for Koby, if he did well enough then Miles would give him one, if not then he would only use haki to fight. "Okay, you pass," Miles said with a smile as he helped Koby up. "Really!?" Koby asked, excited. He would finally get his devil fruit and he was pumped. "Yes, I will give you the Sand-Sand fruit. It should perfectly complement your haki if you can master it." Miles said as he pulled out a brown pear-shaped fruit and gave it to Koby. "Thank you, captain! Bleh," Koby said as he took the fruit and ate it eagerly, the taste almost making him puke. "Hehehe. We probably should have warned him about the taste." Nojiko chuckled at Koby''s misfortune. Miles just smiled, used [All Curse Breaker] on Koby, then started walking towards the chamber door. "Now that you have you have completed your basic training and education it''s about time we leave." Miles said as he opened the chamber door. "Basic? But you put me through the wringer these last 2 years." Koby said, not understanding what his captain meant by ''Basic''. "Yeah, basic. The rest of the crew spent many years in this chamber training and honing our craft to be the best. You didn''t think that with only 2 years of training you would be able to take on the world, did you?" Nojiko was the one to speak this time, asking him a rhetorical question with a sly smile, following her future husband out the door. ''What have I gotten myself into?'' Koby thought in despair as left the room last. ---- Zoro was bored, he really wanted to fight someone since he didn''t get to do much back in Shells Town. It would be a little while before they made it to Orange Town and he hoped there was someone there that could give him a decent fight, unfortunately for him, he was bound to be disappointed. As he sat waiting patiently for the Death Rider to arrive at Orange Town, he heard the sound of the time chamber door opening. "Hey captain, you''re back. ...Who''s that?" Zoro said as he pointed at the pink-haired teen beside his captain. Zoro knew that Miles had only taken Nojiko and Koby into the chamber, so who was this guy? "Ahahaha, come on Zoro, It''s me, Koby." He said with an awkward laugh. "....WHAT!" Zoro shouted after a second of staring at Koby. "What happened?" "Oh my god." "Wow" Were the reactions of Erza, Kuina and Nami who had arrived after hearing Zoro''s shout. "If you are all done freaking out, I would like to know when we will be arriving at Orange town?" Miles said while looking at Nami. "Well you have great timing, we will actually be there in a few minutes," Nami replied with a smile. "Good, then let''s get ready to disembark. Koby this will be a good opportunity for you to get used to your new devil fruit. You will be doing most of the fighting." Miles told his newest recruit. "R-Right!" Koby responded nervously. He had only ever sparred with Nojiko before, and he knew she was holding back a lot. "Wait, why is he the only one who gets to fight, why can''t I?" Zoro asked. "Because Koby needs real combat experience. Besides, it would be pointless if you fought with Buggy''s crew, you would wipe the floor with them in seconds." Miles answered. "*Sigh* Okay." Zoro sighed then spoke apathetically. "Don''t worry, soon you and Kuina will both get to face... him," Miles said mysteriously, but they both knew who he was talking about, which made the two swordmasters smile. ---- "Captain Buggy, a pirate ship has docked at the port!" A random pirate reported to Buggy. "Who?" Buggy asked the pirate. "I don''t recognize them or their jolly roger, but their ship looks expensive. If we take it, you might be able to use it in your future fleet!" The pirate said. "Do it. Kill everyone on that ship and get it for me. hahahahah" Buggy said as he started laughing. "Yes sir!" """HAHAHA""" Buggy crew also started laughing along with their captain. "HEY BIG NOSE, YOU HAVE 1 MINUTE TO GET YOUR A.S.S DOWN HERE AND HAND OVER THE MAP!" A loud voice was heard from in front of the bar that the buggy pirates were on top of. ==== Support me on [email protected] [email protected]/GHOSTS27 Chapter 17 - Koby Against The Clown Silence. All of the Buggy pirates slowly turned to look at their captain. Buggy stood there, with a shadow covering his face, seething with rage. "Who. Said. That?" Buggy asked his crew, but no one said anything. "WHO THE F.U.C.K SAID THAT!?" He screamed at the top of his lungs when nobody answered him. "Down here, moron." The voice spoke again. Buggy and his crew turned their heads and looked down to the street in front of the bar that they were standing on top of. Standing in front of the bar were the Black Heart Pirates. They all had calm smiles on their faces, except for Koby, who looked very nervous. He knew this would be his first real fight and he didn''t want to mess it up. "C-Captain Buggy, those people are the pirates I told you about." Said the pirate that was reporting to Buggy earlier. "GET THE BUGGY BALL AND KILL THEM!" Buggy screamed at his crew. Buggy Balls are highly explosive cannonballs that have a red tint and Buggy''s jolly roger painted on it, they''re strong enough to destroy multiple buildings with a single shot. After hearing their captain''s order, the Buggy pirates scrambled to load a buggy ball into a cannon and fire it at the Black Hearts. *Boom* The cannon fired, but what happened next shocked Buggy and his crew. Nojiko stepped forward while pulling out one of her pistols, and casually shot the buggy ball, blowing it up prem.a.t.u.r.ely. "Times up. Erza, do it." Miles said to his redheaded companion. "Requip!" She said as her armour changed to that of one with a javelin. She encased the javelin in space power, then threw it at the bar Buggy and his crew were on top of. *Kaboom* Once the javelin made contact with the wall of the bar, it folded the space around the bar into itself. The bar collapsed burying most of Buggy''s crew in the rubble, killing them. The only survivors were Buggy and two others. "*Sigh*.....That was overkill." Miles sighed while facepalming. "YOU BASTARDS! DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG IT TOOK TO GATHER THOSE GULLIBLE MORONS!? IT WILL TAKE ME FOREVER TO GET MORE LIKE THEM!" Buggy screamed after climbing out of the rubble. "Okay Koby, you have 60 seconds to defeat Buggy and his crew, good luck," Miles said just before pushing Koby forward then teleporting away with the rest of the crew. "Huh?..." Koby looked around, but the crew was nowhere to be seen. Unknown to Koby, the crew was actually standing on the roof of the building next to him. After Miles teleported the crew, he immediately bent the space around them, creating the illusion of them not being there. "Well, well, well, it looks like your crew abandoned you." Buggy said, obviously not hearing what Miles said before he teleported away. If he did, Buggy would probably be even angrier than he already was. "I wanted to kill that one in the coat to satiate my anger, but I guess killing you will do just fine, even if you are a weakling." Buggy said in an attempt to provoke Koby. "60 Seconds" Koby muttered, completely ignoring Buggy''s taunt. Koby turned his hands into loose blades of sand, then shoved them into the ground while shouting "Desert Spada!" Two sand blades ripped through the dirt underneath the cobblestone road and shot across the ground towards Buggy''s two remaining subordinates, Mohji, and Cabaji. Unable to react in time, Cabji, Mohji, and even Mohji''s pet lion Richie were hit by Koby''s attack. Koby didn''t kill them but his attack did severely injure them, taking them out of the fight. "Wow, it''s barely been 10 seconds since the fight started and he''s already made it a one on one fight," Kuina said as she leaned on the rooftop railing. ''Oh shit, he has a devil fruit.'' Buggy thought as he took half a step back. "Desert Spada!" Koby once again used desert spada, this time aiming for Buggy. He intended to end the fight now as he didn''t know what his captain would do if the fight wasn''t over before the full 60 seconds has passed. "That won''t work on me kid!" Buggy said as he split his body in two at the waist, dodging Koby''s attack. "I ate the Chop-Chop fruit, nothing can cut me, not even the power of your devil fruit." Buggy said with a smug smile as his upper body quickly floated towards Koby. Buggy with his sword in hand stabbed straight through Koby''s heart. "You shouldn''t have pissed me off kid, now you''re dead." Buggy said as the lower half of his body reconnected with his torso and he started to pull his sword out of Koby''s c.h.e.s.t, but for some reason, the sword didn''t move. "Well if I can''t cut you, then I will just have to use blunt force," Koby said just before he coated his fist in haki then punched buggy in his big red nose. *Wham* "Ahhh!" Buggy shouted in pain as he recoiled back. Koby then turned his whole body into the sand than faded into the ground. ''Shit, he''s a logia-type, I thought he was a paramecia-type. I can''t beat that, I need to get put out of here now!'' Buggy thought as he saw Koby disappear into the ground. Buggy frantically looked around to see where Koby, but after a few seconds of waiting in silence with nothing happening, Buggy made a mad dash for his ship. Unfortunately, Buggy didn''t even make it five feet before a fist of sand coated in haki gave him a swift uppercut making him stumble and fall. As the disoriented Buggy tried to stand up, sand encased him from head to toe, suffocating him and leaving only his eyes exposed, he tried to escape but the sand trapping him made him unable to move. Buggy looked over to his only two remaining crew in hopes of getting help, but they were still unconscious from the first attack from Koby. Panicked, Buggy''s eyes darted from left to right in an attempt to find someone to help him, but soon he realized nobody was coming. Slowly, Buggy began to feel dizzy and soon he blacked out from lack of oxygen. As soon as Buggy fell unconscious, the sand covering him fell from his body and rematerialized in the shape of Koby. "Congrats on winning your first real fight Koby, how does it feel?" Nojiko asked after she and the other appeared behind Koby. "AHH!" Koby screamed as he turned around and delivered a haki covered fist to Nojiko, to which she easily caught than spun Koby''s arm into a standing kimura lock. (A/N Its a very painful armlock) "OW OW OW!" Koby yelled in pain. "It seems you weren''t using your observation haki after you beat Buggy. If you were, then you would have noticed when we appeared behind you. What was the first thing I taught you about observation haki?" Nojiko asked with an intimidating voice. "Always keep it active when I''m not on the ship to avoid an ambush from enemies!" Koby said quickly as he tried to free himself from Nojiko''s iron grip. "Correct" Nojiko replied as she released his arm. "All that aside, good work beating Buggy and his crew in the allotted time. It only took you 39 seconds to take them down." This time it was Miles who spoke, making Koby very happy to hear his captain praising him, unfortunately for him though, that happiness didn''t last longer than a few seconds before Miles spoke again. "That being said, 39 seconds to defeat those three was too long. My original plan was to have you fight Buggy entire crew within that minute, but thanks to SOMEONE not being able to hold back, that didn''t happen." Miles emphasized the word ''someone'' as he and everyone else glanced over at Erza, who in turn, was trying to look as innocent as possible. "Anyway, what I''m trying to say is that you will need a lot more training before we reach the grandline, but don''t be disheartened, you have plenty of time," Miles said to Koby with a warm reassuring smile. "Okay." Koby nodded his head and said, getting some of his confidence back. "Now then. What do we do with them?" Miles asked to no one in particular. "Why don''t we just turn them in for their bounties?" Nami suggested with berry signs in her eyes. She may be rich already, but Nami never had enough money. "We could turn them in, but he would probably just break out. Buggy may not be the strongest, but he is crafty and resourceful. Then theirs the fact that the closest marine base from here is at shells town, so that''s a no go. And finally, we are pirates, we can''t turn in other pirates for their bounties, and before you ask, no we are not using the Winter Soldiers for a measly 15 million berries, sorry babe." Miles replied. "Aww," Nami said disappointed. "Any other suggestions?" Miles asked his crew. "Why don''t we just get rid of them?" Zoro asked as he put his hand on one of his swords. "Can''t, if we did that, then we would stir up unnecessary trouble," Miles said. "What do you mean?" Kuina asked. She was very interested in what kind of ''trouble'' would happen if Buggy were to die. "Red Hair Shanks is the unnecessary trouble, he and Buggy used to be crewmen on Gol D. Roger''s ship. Shanks considers Buggy a friend, and if Buggy were to die then Shanks would come at us full force. Silvers Rayleigh may also come after us as well, but that isn''t certain. That being said, with our strength we could indeed beat them, but I would like to avoid needless conflict if possible." Miles said to them. "Wow," Kuina said unconsciously. Needless to say, that she, Zoro and especially Koby were shocked by this news. The only ones unperturbed by this were Erza, Nami and Nojiko, as they had already heard about all this from clone Roger years ago. "Anybody else?" Miles asked to which shook their heads. "Hmm... Well, we may not be able to kill them or turn them in, but we can humiliate them." Miles said with an evil grin. ---- 20 minutes later, Buggy and his two crewmates were roused from their sleep by a splash of water. "Where am I?" Buggy asked drowsily. "Good morning morons, did you have a good rest?" Miles asked condescendingly. As soon as the three pirates heard his voice, they immediately snapped out of their sluggish state and glared at the Blackhearts, that''s when they noticed that they had been stripped down to their u.n.d.e.r.w.e.a.r and were each tied to a crucifix. "YOUR DEAD!" Buggy yelled as he tried to detach his body parts to escape his bindings, but for some reason, it wasn''t working. "Why isn''t it working!?" Buggy asked himself, but it was obviously loud enough for everyone to hear. "Don''t worry Buggy, your not alone, 1 out of 5 men your age have performance problems, it''s normal," Miles said causing his crew to snicker. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?!" Buggy screamed at Miles in anger. Miles was done playing around so he simply smiled and answered him. "I helped you, Buggy, many years ago you accidentally ate a devil fruit and today, I removed it from you. Your welcome." He said as he held up the Chop-Chop fruit in his hand. "Y-y-you..." Buggy couldn''t even form a coherent sentence to respond to what he had just heard and what he could see in Miles left hand. "Well this has been fun but we got what we need from here so it''s time we leave. Goodbye Buggy." Miles said before he teleported himself and his crew away. ==== Support me on [email protected] [email protected]/GHOSTS27 Chapter 18 - The Swordsman Appearing on the Death Rider, the Blackheart Pirates went to do their own thing for the next week before they would finally arrive at the Baratie. The only ones who did not were Miles and Koby. "Alright, for the next 7 days you and I will be in the time chamber for your training, let''s go," Miles told Koby as he grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and dragged him into the chamber. ---- One week later... "Look over there, that must be the place, but what is that sorry excuse for a ship behind it?." Erza said to the crew as she pointed at the two sh.i.p.s that were about one kilometre away from them. In the distance, a fairly large and odd-looking ship could be seen. The had an oval shape, with normal masts and its head was that of a fish, this was the ocean-going restaurant The Baratie. Behind it there was another ship that completely towered over the baratie in size, but this massive ship in question looked like it had been through a shredder. The sails were ripped to shreds, one of its masts was about to fall over and the hull itself had so many holes, it was surprising that the ship was still afloat. "That''s Don Krieg''s ship, or what''s left of it anyway," Miles said as he and Koby walked up behind the others. They had just come out of the time chamber and Koby was now strong enough to easily overpower marine vice-admirals. With a few more training sessions he will be able to battle evenly with an admiral. The Death Rider pulled alongside the baratie and Zoro dropped the anchor then everyone hopped off and started to walk towards the front door, that''s when they hear someone yelling. "YOU COOKS SHOULD NOT HAVE DEFIED ME, I AM BY FAR THE WORLD''S STRONGEST MAN! ARMS MADE OF SOLID STEEL, WOOTZ STEEL BODY ARMOUR, IMPENETRABLE! AND A DIAMOND FIST THAT CAN POUND THIS ENTIRE WORLD TO DUST! I HAVE A FLEET OF 50 SH.I.P.S AND 5000 PIRATES! I HAVE WON EVERY SINGLE BATTLE I''VE EVER BEEN IN!" "Table for seven please~," She said in a happy tone, completely ignoring the armoured man who was ranting a few seconds ago. After she said that, a certain blonde-haired chef with spiral eyebrows and hearts in his eyes arrived in front of her and said in a slightly high voice: "Anything for a beauty like you, follow me." Then, while doing his signature ''noodle dance'' moved towards a large table for 8. The Black Hearts didn''t want to follow this creepy guy, but when they saw their captain walking behind the giant noodle, they also decided to go with him. "My name is Sanji, how may I help you lovely ladies~," The noodle man asked the girls, ignoring the three men sitting with them. This, in turn, annoyed Zoro, made Koby laugh, and Miles was thought; ''Maybe I don''t really need him on my crew.'' "HEY! DO YOU PEOPLE KNOW WHO I AM! I''M DON KRIEG THE STRONGEST-" *Bang!* He didn''t get to finish talking because Nojiko had pulled out her pistol and blasted a hole through Krieg''s "impenetrable" c.h.e.s.t plate. "...How did you...?" Krieg said as he stumbled backwards to the edge of the baratie before falling into the ocean. *Splash* And with that, Don Krieg was no more. "YEAH!" The cooks cheered at the death of the man who was about to steal their ship. "Thanks, kid, if not for you, that prick may have actually stolen my ship. You and your friends get to eat for free as a thank you. " Said a man with a peg leg. This man was Zeff, the head chef and owner of the baratie. Sanji then took their order and went back to the kitchen to prepare it, as the other chefs cleaned up the mess that Krieg had made. After their meal, Sanji kept trying and failing to hit on the girls, much to their annoyance. While this was happening, Miles said something that made everyone on the ship go wide-eyed. "Sanji Vinsmoke, fourth prince of the Germa Kingdom, and a man who is supposed to be dead. So the question is... what are you doing here?" Sanji immediately became serious and glared at Miles. "How did you know who I am, and what do you want from me?" He asked in a slightly heated tone. "I''m just a curious pirate, nothing more." Miles smiled and said. But as soon as he finished speaking, a kick came from Sanji, intending to hit Miles in the face. Miles easily dodged this, but as soon as he did another kick came, then another and another. This went on for a while with Miles dodging and Sanji kicking. Eventually, after about 15 minutes Sanji ran out of stamina and fell onto one knee. "Not bad, with a few years of training you might be able to hit me," Miles said to the now exhausted cook. "Haf...Haf... why can''t I hit you?" Sanji asked while panting. Miles just smiled, shook his head then started to walk towards the exit. Seeing this his crew followed as well and left the baratie. As soon as they stepped outside, two massive blades of sword intent shot towards Don Krieg''s ship and split it into 3 sections. When the Black Heart Pirates looked towards the direction that the attack came from, they saw a man sitting in a small coffin-shaped boat with a single mast. The man in question was Dracule "Hawk Eyes" Mihawk, he currently holds the title of world''s strongest swordsman. Mihawk is a tall lean man with black hair, a short beard, moustache and sideburns that point upwards. His nickname comes from his strangely coloured red eyes which resemble a hawk''s eyes. As he got closer, an excited smile could be seen the faces of both Kuina and Zoro. ""Dibs"" They said at the same time. They then scowled at each other and quickly played 3 games of Rock Paper Scissors, with Kuina coming out on top. "Ha! I get to go first." Kuina gloated. She stepped to Mihawk and than started speaking. "Dracule Mihawk, my name is Kuina Miller and I challenge you to a duel." She said as she pulled her two katana from their sheath. "And why should I fight you?" Mihawk asked in an uninterested tone as he glanced at his would-be contender. "Well... you don''t really have a choice." She replied as she stepped off the deck of the baratie, and as soon as her foot touched the sea, all of the water in a 1 km radius turned to ice. Mihawk''s eyes went wide for second but just as quickly went back to normal. "A devil fruit user, and ice at that. I was under the assumption that there could only be one ice-ice fruit user. So how can you have it as well?" He asked out of curiosity. "If you beat me I will tell you. And don''t worry I won''t use it during our duel, I only used my power to give us a platform to stand on. From here on, it will be a clash of swords, and haki of course." She said as she coated her swords in armament haki. Hearing what his opponent said and seeing her actions, Mihawk narrowed his eyes and finally stood up from his coffin boat and stepped onto the ice. Initially, he thought this girl was weak and was simply overestimating herself by challenging him, but now he thought differently. ''How does she know haki?'' He thought as he pulled his black blade Yoru off his back. At first, he was planning on using the small dagger hidden in his crucifix pendant to humour her, but after seeing Kuina''s display of both her devil fruit and her haki, he decided to take her seriously. "If you think you can beat me while holding back, then you are sorely mistaken," Mihawk said as he got into his stance. "We''ll see about that" Kuina replied. She then charged at Mihawk and gave a few simple attacks. She wanted to feel out her opponent first to see how powerful he really was, and if he had any weakness she could exploit, afterwards, she would attack with full force. As this was going on, Zoro was completely focused on studying every single movement that Mihawk made. This was because now that Kuina was testing the waters, he wouldn''t need to when he fights. Instead, Zoro would go all out from the start. After a few minutes of fighting, Kuina jumped back a few feet and stared at the strongest swordsman in the world. ''No openings, which means I''ll need to make one myself'' she thought as she gripped her swords tightly and lunged forward, no longer holding back. Kuina moved so fast that it looks like she disappeared. Mihawk, seeing her vanish, quickly put his black blade up to block Kiuna''s incoming attack that he felt with observation haki. *CLANG!* *CRACK!* The force behind Kuina''s attack cracked the ice beneath Mihawk and pushed him back a few feet. "Hmm, not bad. But now it''s my turn." Mihawk said as shot a blade of sword ki at Kuina. Seeing the attack coming she dodged to her left, but then hastily put her swords up to block the incoming black blade that she felt with her haki. *CLANG* After this clash she jumped back and stared at Mihawk who had a smirk on his face. "Creating a blade of sword intent to distract me than using that chance to attack. It''s a good faint, but not good enough!" Kuina said as she once again attacked. She continued to clash with Mihawk for the next 15 minutes before she finally creating an opening. She rushed forward and slashed at Mihawk with her left, and he easily parried her sword downward. While deflecting her left, she quickly stabbed forward towards Mihawk''s throat with her right. He saw this attack coming with his haki but was unable to counter because his blade was still repelling her first attack. As the tip of her sword reached his neck it stopped just before piercing the skin. "I win," Kuina said with an elated smile. "*Sigh* It would seem that way" Mihawk replied with a smirk as he dropped his sword signalling an end to this duel. "My turn!" Zoro said as hopped onto the ice and walked towards them. Kuina looked at Zoro for a second then sighed and went back towards the crew. Mihawk stared at Zoro, then slowly picked his sword off the ground and got into his stance. "What''s your name?" Mihawk asked the green-haired man in front of him. "Roronoa Zoro" He replied as tied his trademark bandana around his head. While these two were speaking, Miles had quietly used [Perfect Heal] on Mihawk. Miles knew that Zoro would want to fight Mihawk at full strength after the duel with Kuina. So after Miles used [Perfect Heal] to restore Mihawk''s stamina, he crossed his arms and waited for the next fight to start. (A/N. I''m not writing Zoro''s fight. Figuring out how to do Kuina''s was hard enough) ---- It had now been a few hours since Kuina had beat Mihawk and Zoro had challenged him. And for Zoro, his fight was much longer and a lot more fierce. It turns out that when Kuina was feeling out her foe, Mihawk was doing the same. And since Zoro and Kuina use a very similar style of swordsmanship, Mihawk was able to pick out the flaws faster than his first fight. Eventually, it came down to who had more stamina and fewer injuries. After a full hour of fighting, Mihawk collapsed onto what was left of the ice platform. Zoro, on the other hand, barely had any wounds on him and was also able to recover during the fight thanks to him having the body of a primordial. By this time, Mihawk had left after being healed by Miles. And as thanks for having a match with Kuina and Zoro, Miles decided to gift Mihawk a bottle of heavenly wine he bought from the system. Currently, the Black Heart pirates were back on their ship and getting ready to leave for Loguetown, their last stop before they enter grand line. "Congratulates Zoro and Kuina for Dracule ''Hawkeyes'' Mihawk. You can now call yourselves the second strongest swordsmen in the world." Miles said to his two crewmates. "What do you mean second strongest?" "Yeah, we both beat Mihawk. That means we only need to face each other one more time to see who''s the strongest." Zoro and Kuina said. Miles grinned at them and asked them a question. "Who is the one person you two have never been able to beat in swordsmanship?" Miles asked as he looked over to a certain person on the ship. Zoro and Kuina followed his gaze and soon it landed on a beautiful redheaded woman who was in the middle of eating a piece of strawberry shortcake, with a delighted smile on her face. ""Fuuuck..."" ---- Author Note. Originally I was going to add Sanji to the crew but I changed my mind. Reiju will still be in the harem though, but that is in the far future. Join my [email protected] [email protected]/GHOSTS27 Chapter 19 - ?ounties Marine HQ. In a large meeting room sat the Fleet Admiral Sengoku, the three Admirals Kizaru(Borsalino), Aokiji(Kuzan), and Akainu(Sakazuki). There were also many Vice Admirals as well including Tsuru and Garp who had returned to HQ a few days ago with a cast on his arm. "So, we''re all in agreement about the bounties for the Black Heart Pirates?" Brannew asked the room. *Crunch* Brannew was the marine officer in charge of assigning bounties to criminals. "*Sigh* I can''t believe these children will have such high bounties," Tsuru said while shaking her head. *Crunch* "The average bounty from the East blue is 3 million, but almost every member of this crew has a bounty way over that~," Kizaru added in his trademark slow tone. *Crunch* "Hmmm whatever happened to those white-haired bounty hunters from that sea. They were effective enough to almost wipe out piracy in the East and South blue''s, I''m sure they could take down these pirates considering how strong they were." Aokiji said as he thought back to the time, he had met the Winter Solders in the South blue. At the time Aokiji was on assignment and coincidentally met them at a marine base while they were turning in a bounty. He was curious to know why his boss wanted them to join the marines so badly. So, he asked them each for a spar which was accepted. During the spars Aokiji found out his opponents were able to fight equally with him without using a devil fruit, not knowing they were holding back. After the fights, Aokiji asked them if they wanted to join the marines and even told them that with their strength they were guaranteed high ranks, which of course was declined, immediately followed by the Winter Soldiers disappearing in front of him before he could attempt to persuade them. *Crunch* "We don''t need bounty hunters to the job of the marines! I will find this pirate sc.u.m and deliver absolute justice to them personally." Akainu said loudly. He was about to stand up and leave but before he could, Sengoku stopped him. "No, you will not! You already have an assignment to re-capture that idiot Caesar Clown before he does god-knows-what. He worked for Vegapunk for years and knows too many of the secrets of the marines. Do you understand?!" "Hmph. Yes sir." Akainu replied in annoyance. He wanted to rid the world of pirates through what he considered "justice", he didn''t care about finding some mad scientist, but unfortunately for him, orders were orders. *Crunch* "Sigh* Meeting adjourned, all of you back to work," Sengoku said. Everyone then left the hall except for Sengoku and Garp. *Crunch* "DAMMIT GARP STOP EATING SO LOUDLY!" Sengoku yelled at Garp who was noisily eating rice crackers. "It''s a good thing you didn''t let Akainu''s go after them, because if he had met those kids, then he''d be a dead man," Garp said as he stopped eating for a moment. ''Hmmm, what to do about them-'' Sengoku was in the middle of a thought when ''it'' happened again. *CRUNCH!* "GARP!!" ---- It''s been a day since the crew left the baratie and they were now only a few hours out from their final stop in the East Blue, Loguetown. Right now, the Death Rider''s A. I had the ship on auto-pilot, and most of the crew was on the deck doing their own thing. Nojiko was lying down on a lawn chair and getting a tan, Nami was tending to her tangerine tree, Koby was in his room playing video games that his captain had introduced to him, Zoro and Kuina were in the ship''s training room getting their assess handed to them by Erza in a spar, and finally, Miles was sitting by the front of the ship with his eyes closed, enjoying the ocean breeze. As the ship sailed the waters of the sea, a news coo flew over and dropped a newspaper down towards Miles. Before the paper hit him, he opened his eyes and caught it while sitting up. He opened the folded paper and saw the headlined which gave him a huge grin. "NEW SUPER ROOKIES THE BLACK HEART PIRATES APPEAR IN THE EAST BLUE". Miles started reading through the article and were surprised by how detailed it was. It was followed almost everything the crew had done in the east blue up to this point, even Mihawk''s defeat at the hands of Kuina and Zoro. ''They must have got the info about Mihawk from one of the escaped Krieg Pirates.'' Miles thought. Of course, the article did omit a few things like what happened in orange town and Garp''s loss at the hands of Miles. If it was a normal vice-admiral they probably wouldn''t have cared as much, but this was the Marine hero Garp who "defeated" the King of the Pirates. The marines and the world government wouldn''t let their reputation take a hit because of this loss. As for what happened in orange town, the only people there other than The Black Heart Pirates were Buggy, his two goons, and the mayor. The mayor wasn''t there during the time Koby fought Buggy, so he didn''t know what happened, and Buggy sure as hell wasn''t going to let anyone, let alone the marines know about the humiliation he went through. After Miles finished reading the article, he turned the page and seven wanted posters fell out. ---- WANTED "Blackheart" Miller D. Miles DEAD OR ALIVE ?1,250,000,000 WANTED "Glacier Blade" Roronoa Kuina DEAD OR ALIVE ?800,000,000 .... WANTED "Inferno Ashura" Roronoa Zoro DEAD OR ALIVE ?800,000,000 .... WANTED "Azure Archer" Nojiko Miller DEAD OR ALIVE ?500,000,000 .... WANTED "Crimson Armoury" Erza Scarlet DEAD OR ALIVE ?400,000,000 .... WANTED "Weather Witch" Nami Miller DEAD OR ALIVE ?350,000,000 WANTED Koby DEAD OR ALIVE ?1,000,000 ---- After seeing the wanted posters, Miles called the crew and showed them all their posters. "Why is my bounty so low!?" Koby exclaimed after seeing his pathetically low bounty in comparison to everybody else''s. "Probably because no one has ever seen you fight. Look, they don''t even have the right picture of you." Zoro said. The pictures on the posters were taken from the security den den mushi at the shells town marine base. Koby looked very different now compared to the picture on his wanted poster. The only resemblance Koby had with his poster was the hair colour. As the crew were talking about their wanted posters, the voice of Jarvis, the Death Rider''s A.I. came over the intercom. [We are approaching Loguetown. We will arrive in 5 minutes.] When the crew heard that, they all looked over to the horizon where they saw the polestar islands, the location of Loguetown. Loguetown, the place is known as "the beginning town of the beginning and the end". The reason for this is because this town was where the former Pirate King was born, and also where he was executed. In an office of the Loguetown marine base sat a white-haired man with brown eyes and two cigars in his mouth. He wears a large thick white and blue specialist marine jacket which he keeps open, with greenish fur lining the neck, wrists, and hem. The jacket bears the word justice on the back of it like most other marine officer coats. This man is known as "Smoker the White Hunter", Captain of Loguetown marine base. Smoker has a reputation of not letting any pirates escape from the island and has had that reputation for many years, not being broken to this day. As he sat in his office, he read the newspaper about the new super crew in the east blue. ''What makes them so special that headquarters made their bounties so high?'' Smoker asked himself as he looked at the bounty posters of the Black Heart Pirates. As he continued reading the paper, one of the bases petty officers came into his office to make a report. "Sir, we''ve spotted the jolly roger of the Black Heart Pirates on the horizon, they should be arriving here in a few minutes, what do we do?!" the petty officer said in a tone that showed his panic. "Calm down marine, they are just pirates. It doesn''t matter how high there bounties are if they come to my town they will not be leaving." Smoker said arrogantly. "Call in everyone I want them ready for anything and find Tashigi." Smoker ordered. He had no idea how truly strong the Black Heart Pirates were, but when he found out he would be in for a rude awakening. ==== Support me [email protected] it''s only $2 [email protected]/GHOSTS27 Chapter 20 - Loguetown Author Note. Hello, disciples of the patience sect, I am your humble elder and have left my secluded cultivation to give you this gift. But soon it will be time for me to return to my seclusion. Before I leave though, I have one simple question and a small request to make... Have any of you ever read Spiderman Ultimate Peter Parker!? If you haven''t then you should!! Cause it''s the best Spider-man/Marvel fan-fic you''ll ever read and we should all bombard the author on all of the chapters and tell him we want MORE! ...Also follow me on Twitter @GH0STS27 that''s with a zero. ==== The Death Rider docked on the island and the crew disembarked and went to explore the town in pairs. Nojiko and Nami went to go shopping, Koby went to check if the marines here were corrupt like the ones he met before and Zoro and Kuina went to find a weapons shop. They didn''t new ones after getting the best swords in the world from Miles, but they did like collecting rare swords, like the Wado Ichimonji sword that hangs in their bedroom. Now that the rest of the crew had something to do in Loguetown, the only ones left back at the ship were Miles and Erza. Erza didn''t really know what to do here as she didn''t care much about shopping like the sisters, she did not collect swords and armour like the married couple because she got all her stuff from Miles, and she definitely didn''t care about what Koby was doing either. Miles, seeing his girlfriend''s apathetic look at arriving here, knew just what to do to cheer her up. "Erza, since it''s just the two of us here why don''t we go on a date?" Miles asked as he held out his hand to the pretty redhead. "I would love that" She replied with a joyous smile after seeing his outstretched hand. ---- After Nojiko and Nami had left the rest of the crew to go shopping, they went into a high-end clothing store and quickly starting trying on the most expensive clothes there. "What do you think about this?" Nami asked as she stepped out of the dressing room while wearing a long red dress with a slit that goes all the way up her t.h.i.g.h and a white fur scarf around her neck. "You look wonderful!" The shop owner said with a big smile on his face. "How about this?" Nojiko asked as she came out of the dressing room beside Nami''s, wearing a long seafoam green sundress with black frill lining. "Exquisite taste!" The shop owner said with a happy smile. He was trying to butter up the girls with compliments so he could make a big sale today. The girls had been trying on clothes for over 30 minutes now, and with the way they looked, he assumed they were rich girls. "So will you be buying all these items?" He asked as he rubbed his hands together. Nami and Nojiko looked at each other and nodded. "We''ll take them on one condition," Nojiko said to him. "And what might that be?" The shop owner asked in anticipation. At this point, Nami walked closer to the owner and asked in a voice that only he and Nojiko could hear. "Do you have any lingerie? We want to surprise our boyfriend tonight." She asked. "A surprise huh? I think I have just what you need, right this way please." ---- ''What''s going on, where is everyone?'' Koby thought as he made his way through the empty base. While he traversed through the desolate halls he came across a door labelled ''Cpt. Smoker''. Koby used his observation haki to check if anyone was inside, and just like the rest of the base, it was empty. He reached for the handle only for it to be locked, so using his devil fruit, he turned himself into sand and slipped through the crack under the door then rematerialized on the other side. Koby looked through the office and some of the marine reports and found that the soldiers here were not corrupt like Morgan was. In fact, they were the complete opposite, they helped the people here more times than he could count. Having learned that the marines on this island were fine, Koby was about to leave, when out of the corner of his eye he saw a map rolled up on the desk. letting curiosity get the best of him he opened the map and what he saw shocked him. ''I need to tell the captain about this'' Koby thought as he quickly made his way out of the base. ---- Meanwhile, as Koby was exploring the Loguetown marine base, Kuina And Zoro had found an arms shop and walked in. As they did, the couple noticed the plethora of weaponry on display, from guns to swords, axes and shields, this shop had everything. As they walked in, the shop owner named Matsu noticed them and put on a merchant smile. "Welcome, come in and look around," Matsu said in a false happy tone. The two swordsmen ignored the salesmen and split up walking to other ends of the shop. After a few minutes of window shopping and seeing nothing interesting, they were about to leave when the sight of a certain sword in a barrel caught Zoro''s attention. The sword had a golden tsuba shaped like a rounded cross patt¨¦e, the hilt is wrapped reddish-brown, with a golden clasp around its middle and a golden kashira pommel. Zoro pulled the sword from the barrel and as soon as he gripped the handle he felt something attempt to attack his mind. Zoro quickly used his haki to overpower the attack, and soon the pressure on his mind faded. "Interesting," He said as he unsheathed the katana. "What''s interesting?" Kuina asked after she walked up behind him. "This sword is cursed" Zoro whispered low enough so the shop owner wouldn''t hear them. "Cursed? let me see." She said as she took the sword out of her husband''s hands. As soon as she had the sword, the same thing that attacked Zoro''s mind attacked hers, but she swiftly dealt with it the same way he did. She then completely pulled the sword from its sheath and held it up for both of them to see. The blade was a moderately curved katana with a white edge and a distinct blue hamon that has the appearance of flames. ""Nice"" The couple said at the same time then smiled at each other. Kuina then put the sword back in its sheath and walked to the counter with it. "We''ll take this," Kuina said as she put it on the counter in front of Matsu. "A-are you s-sure you want this thing? I-it''s cursed." Seeing the sword that was placed in front of him, Matsu started stuttering. "We''re sure" Zoro replied while pulling out the money to pay. "Fine just take it and go," Matsu answered. "Let''s go find the captain, he can break the curse on this sword," Kuina said as she and Zoro left the weapons shop. ---- As they walked, Miles noticed the festival-like atmosphere around. Suddenly they heard music coming from down the street and as they walked closer they saw a large stage with a person performing on it in front of the famous execution stand. Erza was excited to see a concert, but Miles on the other hand was utterly stunned when he saw who was performing. ? I still see your shadows in my room Can''t take back the love that I gave you It''s to the point where I love and I hate you And I cannot change you so I must replace you oh Easier said than done I thought you were the one Listening to my heart instead of my head You found another one I won''t let you forget me ? ''Juice WRLD, how in the f.u.c.k is he here!?'' Miles asked Chloe. {A few months after your accident, Juice WRLD died of an overdose. My father thought he died too young so he reincarnated him here without his memories. There are also a few more surprises for you to find in this world, but don''t worry you''ll like them.} (A/N. No, there won''t be OP Reincarnated OC''s, so get that out of your head. This is just a cameo cuz I like Juice Wrld. R.I.P) ''*Sigh* Chloe, you know I don''t like surprises... Wait, if he was reincarnated here without his memories, then how is he performing the most popular song he ever wrote right now?'' {Father let him keep the memories of some of his lyrics, Juice WRLD thinks he wrote all of his music in this world, not on earth} ''Oh, I see...'' As Miles was speaking with Chloe and Erza was enjoying the concert. They sensed four familiar aura''s walking up behind him, so they turned around to greet them. "I see you''ve come to ruin our date," Erza said with clear annoyance written on her face as looked at her crewmates that just arrived. "Oh sorry, we didn''t know you were on a date when we saw you," Kuina replied with obvious fear in her voice. She knew that when Erza was angry, Kuina and Zoro would usually suffer. "It''s fine, what do you need?" Erza asked, still annoyed. "We just wanted to let you two know that we were finished with business and are heading back to the ship," Nojiko said, also not trying to piss off Erza. "Hey, guys we got a problem!" As they were talking Koby arrived in a panic. "What''s wrong?" Miles asked calmly. Koby handed him a rolled-up piece of paper then Miles opened it and read its name aloud. "Operation heart-attack?" Miles read through the plans and basically, the marines wanted to lure the Black Heart pirates to the execution square and surround them. How they were planning to get them here wasn''t written on the orders, but since the crew was already here it didn''t really matter. After Miles had read the plans he just scoffed and burned them. "Why were you so panicked Koby? It''s not like they can hurt us." Nami said. "B-but there''s an entire marine base coming after us, and apparently the captain at that base is really strong," Koby replied still alarmed at the prospect of facing so many enemies. "Koby, you''ve seen me easily take down one of the strongest vice-admirals in the marines, and you think a single captain can stop us? Also, I don''t think you understand how overpowered you are right now." Miles said with a deadpanned face. "What do you mean?" He asked. But before Miles could answer, the crew heard a shout from behind them. "BLACK HEART PIRATES, YOU HAVE BEEN SURROUNDED, SURRENDER YOURSELVES AND FACE THE LAW." The crew turned around to see that they were indeed surrounded by marines, but they already knew that. Leading the marines was caption Smoker and beside him was his petty officer Tashigi, a woman with chin-length black hair, wearing red glasses and a purple flower patterned shirt along with a marine jacket overtop. Seeing Tashigi, the Black Heart pirates, except for Miles froze. The same thing happened to the marines, minus Smoker as he was the only one who had seen the wanted posters and knew what Kuina looked like. "Wow Kuina, I didn''t know you had a twin sister," Miles said nonchalantly. Nobody responded and simply looked back and forth between Kuina and Tashigi. Seeing that his subordinates were distracted Smoker yelled at them. "ALL OF YOU FOCAS, WE HAVE WORK TO DO!" He roared. Quickly they all put on serious expressions, even though they were all curious as to what kind of relationship their petty officer had to this pirate, they knew they could ask questions later. "Wow, you got them under control fast. So before we fight, and we will fight because why would surrender, I have one thing to do." Miles said with a calm smile on his face as he pulled out a large red beats pill then started scrolling through the music on his phone. "Captain what are you doing?" Koby asked anxiously as he looked at Smoker and the marines who were getting ready to attack them. "He''s probably looking for what he calls ''fight music'' " Nami answered him as she and the rest of the crew brought out their weapons. "This will work," Miles said as he put the speaker on the ground next to himself. "Now then, shall we dance?" Miles said as he pressed play on his phone. Suddenly, Voices by Motionless In White started playing. "WHITE OUT" Smoker yelled as smoke poured from his body engulfing the surroundings. Seeing this, Nami stepped forward and swung her spear while channelling her power through it. "Gale!" She said softly as a large wave of wind clashed against Smoker''s attack, nullifying it. "!!? You have a-" Before Smoker could finish his sentence Nami''s spear came crashing down on him causing him to block with his jitte. Unfortunately for him, his weapon was nowhere near as strong as Nami''s spear. "Ugh" *Snap* With that sound, his jitte broke in half and Nami made a large gash on his c.h.e.s.t, similar to the one Zoro received in cannon thanks to Mihawk. "CAPTAIN!" Tashigi screamed as she ran towards Smoker but before she could get close, Kuina blocked her path. "I can''t let you do that," Kuina spoke. "OUTTA MY WAY BITCH" was the reply Kuina got which pissed her off and stunned Miles. ''Since when has Tashigi been so aggressive?'' Miles thought. {I told you there will be more surprises for you. A slight personality change of some people is only the tip of the iceberg.} While Miles was speaking to the voice inside his head, Tashigi slashed at Kuina in an attempt to move her. Sadly for the Petty officer, it didn''t go so well. Kuina cover her hand in haki and grabbed Tashigi''s blade, crushing it in her hand. Seeing this made Tashigi''s eyes go wide but before she could react to what just happened, she felt the impact of a fist on her abdomen causing her to faint. Seeing what Kuina just to Tashigi did made Zoro cringe a bit. He had felt the same pain many times when he sometimes misremembered their anniversary or when he didn''t give his wife enough attention. ''Rest in piece miss doppelganger'' Zoro gave a silent prayer. "...So does anybody else want to fight?" Miles asked the stunned marines. They had just lost both of their strongest fighters in a matter of seconds, to say they were stunned would be an understatement. But soon one marine stepped forward with a determined look on his face. "Even if Captain Smoker and Pettey officer Tashigi are down we will still not let you leave!" The marine said passionately. Soon more and more marines became resolute and decided to fight the pirates. "I see. Very admirable, foolish but admirable none the less." Miles spoke with a smile. "Alright Koby, as I said before you don''t know how overpowered you are right now, so I will show you." Miles then raised his hand making the marines flinch and quickly lots of tree branches sprouted from the ground and wrapped around the marines constricting them and causing their weapons to fall to the ground and knocking them unconscious. "Whoa cool," Koby said elated but after a few seconds his excitement left him and he was just confused. "Captain, that cool and all but how does that help me? I have the Sand-Sand fruit not... whatever fruit you used to do this." "That is where your wrong Koby. You see your fruit probably has the most potential out of all of ours... well except for mine. Once you awaken your fruit, you''ll be able to use the earth itself as a weapon. Trees, rocks, dirt, anything from the earth, save for metal, will be yours to control." "Alright everyone I think it''s time we leave. It''s about time we get to the Grand Line don''t you think?" Miles addressed the crew. "Took long enough, come on let''s go," Nami said as she dragged Miles by the arm back to the Death Rider. And with that, the Black Heart Pirates were finally off to the Grand Line. ==== Support me on [email protected] [email protected]/GHOSTS27
