Pieces Of One Chapter 1: The New Guy, an one piece fanfic

`Somewhere in the sea…

Heavy rain fall. The droplets assaulting the ship, deafening our ears. Whether or not it was the rain, rain hitting the rotting wood of the ship, or rain hitting its fellow substance below us, but it didn't matter. The boy's vision was completely obscured by the rain. His ears, still ringing from the cannon blast 30 seconds ago, exactly 20 centimetres away from where he's standing… Someone was getting closer… His hearing was reverting back to normal… Harsh footsteps on the wet wooden boards… 50cm… 20cm… The sound of a blade cutting the opposing wind and rain…

"Iai…" The boy grabbed the handle of his blade, and ducked down, with the blade cutting the air only barely missing his hair. The boy quickly turned his entire body in a single move, and drew his blade at lightning speed.

"Gah…" The swordsman's spat out blood, with droplet's hitting the boy's soulless face, which were then washed away quickly by the heavy rain.

"I'm not done yet…" The boy muttered. It sent chills down the swordsman's spine. The boy's voice had no sense of worry, anger, happiness, or bloodlust as if, all emotion had seeped out of him. The soulless boy turned heels, cleared the blood of his blade, and sheathed it, whilst grabbing the swordsman's arm.

"It's a sad day when a swordsmen dies by his own blade… Don't you think?" The boy asked, he twisted the swordsman arm recklessly, as the sound of a bone snapping echoed through both of their ears.

"AHHHHHHH" The swordsman screamed his lungs out. However this scream was silenced as his own blade punctured his neck. The boy held his arm, still waiting until the gagging stopped.

"You were noisy…" The boy said finally letting go of the swordsman's arm. The body dropping onto the deck, and blood flowed out of him, soon being washed away into the ocean.

"Tch… As brutal as always… Can't stand that about you…" An old man, probably around the age of 50 stood towering over the boy. He was no shorter than 7 foot maybe. The old man looked like a normal sailor, at first look, but his muscles, stature, multiple bullet, and sword scars definitely give him the aura of an experienced, dangerous veteran. "I'm glad you're on our side… Oi! Get out of that serene mode stuff!" The old man wacked the boy, almost too fast for him to see, and was blasted into the captains quarters.

"OW! What in the hell was that for?!" The boy yelled out, regaining his emotions. The boy sat crossed legged, pouting while rubbing his red cheek.

"Yeesh… That serene mode crap, creeps me the hell out…" The old man said walking into the captains quarters smashing open a wine cabinet. He took three bottles in between his giant fingers, and used his teeth to pop them all open at once. The old man then dumped all of the wine into his mouth, swallowing all of it within seconds.

"PUHA! Man that hit's the spot! You want some?"

"YOU ALREADY DRANK IT ALL!" The boy yelled out angrily, veins popping out and everything, even chopping his hand against the air, to show his displeasure.

"Seriously… You should refrain from using that, okay?" The old man's demeanour suddenly changed. Looking at the boy with both the concern of a friend and a family member, "Do you understand Yuu?"

"Yeah I understand…" Yuu said waving it off. The old man sighed at the young boy as he upped and left he captains quarters. The old man then took another wine bottle and drank it before throwing the empty bottles onto the wooden floor.

Yuu looked out into the dark rainy sky as if he was in deep thought. To him the dark sky seem to mesmerize him in a way most things didn't. His train of thought was then broken by the old man placing his wet hands on his shoulder.

"They should be here soon" The old man said. Yuu looked at him and looked back at the ocean, with thousands of ripples as the rain hit the sea. The old man looked over to Yuu's face and saw this his hand was shaking gently and it progressed further, making the old wood creek. "Yuu… Hey—"

Yuu cut him off as his left hand sprung into his left pocket, and took out a small plastic container filled with small rustic black spheres. Yuu's hand began to shake violently as he dispensed the medicine into his hand, spilling some of the spheres onto the wooden flooring. Yuu threw the spheres into his mouth, almost even smacking himself. His hands gripped the wooden rails tightly and they even began to crack.

"Yuu" The old man place his hand back on his shoulder. He could still feel the violent shaking in his arms, but after a few seconds the shaking subsided. The old man gently shook his shoulder as Yuu began to exhale heavily as if he completely run out of stamina.

The old man's attention was seized suddenly by a moving light far off in the distance. The man smiled as he got out a compass somewhat similar to a log pose but with four points instead of two. The log pose gave off a bright blue light, and the light from afar began to get closer.

"Hey, Yuu. Looks like the boys are here" The old man said, however Yuu's head was hugged by his arms while resting on the railings. The old man sighed as he walked back into the captain's quarters to grab all of the items that were worth something. One particular item caught his eye, which was a something wrapped tightly in a brown cloth with a black strap holding it together.

"Hey!" The old man raised his voice at Yuu. Upon turning around the old man threw the brown clothed object at him, which Yuu caught with right arm. He looked at it for a few seconds, then looked back at the old man.

"What is this?" Yuu asked.

"Dunno, but judging from when I grabbed it, it seems like a sword underneath that cloth" The old man yelled as he was causing a ruckus inside the captain quarters, throwing treasure accurately into a giant brown bag.

"Hmmm…" Yuu, out of pure curiosity undid the black strap on the brown cloth. Yuu then stopped and walked towards a place where it was dry, or at least not soaking wet with rainfall. He walked over to an unlit lantern, and lit it with a lighter. "That's better…" Yuu mumbled as he took out a sheathed katana.

"This is…" Yuu started. The old man caught Yuu taking out the weapon out of the cloth and walked towards him, also due to curiosity.

"Oh… What beautiful craftsmen ship" The old man said, with both of them staring at the sheath as if it was hypnotizing them. The sheath itself has many detailed drawings of warriors holding a swords fighting a dragon that reached to the hilt. With over 20 languages the two have never seen before inscribed perfectly, and placed carefully, creating a mesmerising sheathe. However the actual hilt and, guard looked quite worn out. The cord wrap was in bad condition with tears and holes, and the guard was chipped in multiple areas. Despite the polar opposite appearances, it did have this sense of danger, a weapon that emits that it has been in many battles.

"Hey! Harold! Over here!" A man yelled out, grabbing the old man's attention. Harold looked back at the light and saw a brown and blue frigate stop at the side of their ship. The frigate was abnormally large for a frigate, even holding three rows of cannons not including the top. Most notably, despite not seeing it clearly is the flag it flies, a black flag with a white cross, and rose thorns twisting around the cross with the rose sitting atop.

"Okay Yuu, rides here. Remember to burn the ship okay?" Harold said whipping a large bag over his shoulders. There's was no need to know what was inside with all the jingling sounds it was making. A rope was then tossed to Harold and he caught with one hand, nodding at the boy before swinging off to the frigate.

*sigh* Yuu walked into the cargo hold where multiple boxes, crates, and barrels held either gunpowder, tools, or cannon balls. The smell of gunpowder, blood, and the rain made it feel like Yuu was in a rotting grave, but he didn't seem to mind the bloodied bodies, or their limb dismemberments.

"Here we go…" Yuu said grabbing a container full of oil. He began to pour it around the entire cargo hold, before moving his way up towards the deck, bow, starboard, port, and stern. Yuu threw the container somewhere else, and went to grab a lantern from one of the hooks on the ship. "Always me who has to blow up the ship… Huh?"

"Hey! Yuu! What the hell is taking so long?!" One of the sailors from the frigate yelled out. Yuu thought to himself, "They didn't hear that?"

Yuu shrugged off the feeling and smashed the lantern onto the ground where the oil was and it was set a flame. Lucky the waves began to calm down so the oil wasn't shaking around along with the wet boards. As Yuu went to the port side of the ship, it suddenly shook very violently, bashing the frigate beside it.

"Whoa!" Yuu exclaimed as the wet board caused him to lose his balance. He did a few backward rolls before almost falling inside the cargo hold with red hot flames, if hadn't had grabbed onto the mast.

"H-H-Hey! Yuu are you okay?!" The sailor yelled as he got back onto his feet. He looked over the railing but the rain began to fall harder and harder, causing a blurry vision.

"What the hell is going on!?" Harold asked bursting out of the frigate captain quarters. The frigate began to shake violently, even sending some sailors off of the railing.

"Sir, the sea became violent. We don't know what the cause of it is, but Yuu is still on the cavalry ship, he can't seem to get off!" The sailor said, only to be pushed aside by Harold.

"What the hell is that kid doing?!" Harold asked before a large amount of sailors stood at the railing side. "What the hell is everyone looking at!? Get Yuu back on this ship now! Send a rope!"

"W-W-We can't do that sir…" Said one of the sailors, with his fixated and wide open, as if he's seen a ghost.

"What did you say?" Harold asked. The sailor pointed at the ship, however the frigate was two times as big as the cavalry ship, but he was pointing, almost at the sky. Harold looked where the sailor's finger was pointing at. Harold's eyes widened and his jaw dropped. "What in the world?"

The sight in front of them was definitely worthy of a long stare, as it seemed almost if, not supernatural. The ship… was standing vertically on the ocean with the stern sinking into the sea.

"Sir! Tidal wave!" The sailor pointed up at the sky where a large wave standing over 500 metres, coming in fast. Harold looked in horror and looked back at the ship Yuu was stuck on.

"Damn! What the hell is this?!" Yuu screamed as loud as he could. His feet dangling whilst holding onto the mast. "Whoa!" Yuu dropped down onto the walls beside the captain quarters door, only to roll away before a cutlass came and stuck itself onto the wood. Yuu looked to his right and saw a giant tsunami coming his way. Whether or not sweat or rain went down his face, it didn't matter at this point.

"Harold?! What about Harold?!" Yuu climbed onto the stair railings and stood to see where the frigate was. Yuu's eyes widened then his eye lids sunk. Seeing nothing but the rain water and the sea. "Why am I not surprised?" Yuu said calmly sitting down onto the stair railings, looking up at the sky, with the rain falling onto every spot, and every pore on his face. His view of darkness was then obstructed by a giant wave of water, which he embraced calmly. The tidal wave crashed down onto the ship and it was complete darkness.

*cough* *cough* "Agh… My head…"Yuu held his head in pain, but felt too weak to hold his arm up to his forehead. He laid on his back, wondering what in the world had happened. All he could feel was his wet body, and the sand sticking to wet skin and cloths. "What... My vision… fading…" Yuu's eyes began to shut, but not before seeing a person stand in front of him. The person was waving her or his arm, but it just looked like a blurry picture to Yuu's fading vision.

~8 hours later~

It was already around 2 in the morning, but it didn't stop Yuu from waking up. He attempted to get up from the bed only to flinch in pain, and fall back onto the bed. The pain was quite severe as he even winced in pain from his head hitting the pillow. After the pain subsided, he looked around his surroundings and noticed he was in a quite large room.

"Where in the world am I? Is probably what you were thinking correct?" A woman's voice said. Yuu turned his head weakly to face wherever the voice came from. He turned to see a long pink haired woman wearing purple shirt, with a deep neckline and matching pants. "I'm glad that you're awake."

"Who are you?" Yuu asked, as the woman walked closer to him, sitting on chair that beside the bed.

"My name is Hina, nice to meet you stranger" Hina said with a smile on her face. "My crew and I crew found lying on the beach almost lifeless. You were lucky we found you"

"I see… So I didn't die…" Yuu mumbled. Hina looked at suspiciously as his face and tone sounded rather disappointed. "Anyways, thank you for saving me Hina-san… My name is Yuuta."

"Get some rest Yuuta, we are going to ask you a few questions after you make though. Government protocols and all that" Hina said standing up. Hina opened the doors, and a two men wearing the same uniform as each other walked inside with a tray of food, and some medicine. "These are for you. Sorry we don't have the best food, but we have to make do with what we have."

"Government?" Yuu wondered. "Is she talking about the Empire? No… I've never seen those uniforms before."

"Hm? Yes the Government. The World Government, I'm pretty sure you heard before." Hina said. However she looked stunned, and even the two soldiers were stunned. Yuu's face was full of doubt and confusion. "You don't know the Marines?" She asked the injured boy.

"I don't know where I am… Marines? World Government? This is the first time I heard of them… Better play dumb for now…" Yuu thought to himself, before faking a realization, "Ah! The World Government, sorry… It looks like I hit my head pretty hard, my brain is kind of scrambled."

"I see… Well just get some rest for now. You two, carry on" Hina said as she began to walk, but stopped before popping her head out of the doorway. "Oh yes, before Hina forgets. Your clothes were wet so we had to let them dry. You can put on those uniforms in that closet over there once you are feeling better"

"Eh?! Are you sure Captain!?" The Marine carrying the food exclaimed. "Aren't those your uniforms?!"

"So? Do you want him to walk around naked?" Hina asked. The two Marines quieted down and Hina continued on with her business. The Marines left after placing the food and medicine onto the tableside, leaving Yuu just staring at the wooden ceiling.

Yuu then got himself up off of the bed, and this time the pain wasn't as bad. "Looks like my recovery is still normal. I just need to wait a little bit longer till I'm good…" Yuu looked over at the food, and despite what she said, it definitely looked better than what he was served before.

"She said I could wear this…" Yuu opened the closet to see Marine uniforms hooked up neatly with the pants folded neatly under each one. However… The attires consisted of sizes smaller than his, and seeing that Yuu closed the door to the closet. "Excuse me! Is anyone out there?"

"Hmm? Yes? Is something wrong?" The Marine asked slightly opening the door.

"Well I don't really have any clothes. Do you think I can borrow something?" Yuu asked. The Marine nodded his head and sent someone to gather all sizes of uniforms, and even taught him how to put it on.

"Thank you! This actually more comfy than I imagined" Yuu said looked at his new outfit.

"Of course. If you are going to be out at sea for a long time, it's good to have somethings that's comfortable." The Marine said, before gathering the rest of the marine uniforms.

"By the way… Where are my blades?" Yuu asked.

"Oh? Ah… It seems that out captain has confiscated it." The Marine said. "But seeing how you are up and about, why don't I call her in?"

"Please" Yuu said with a smile.

"Captain Hina, Yuu-san is here" The Marine said standing at attention.

"Come in" Hina said. The Marine walked in front of Yuu and opened the door for him. Yuu thanked the Marine before he closed door, leaving him and Hina alone in her quarters. "Are you doing better now?"

"Yes, very much thank to your hospitality."

"Still Hina's a little surprised. Your body was quite a mess. Little under 18 hours and you're already able to move your body around" Hina said gesturing Yuu to take a seat, to which he compiled. She then walked over to the corner of her room and handed two blades to him, with one wrapped around with the brown cloth.

"Thank you very much. I was wondering where these two went" Yuu said happily taking back his weapons, however Hina quickly shot back her hands and placed them beside her desk. This action got an annoyed look from Yuu to Hina.

"I'm sorry, but with how we found you, we are liable to take any action necessary to protect ourselves. Hina's question is… Are you a pirate?" Hina asked. Yuu's expression did not change, luckily for him, he had heard of that term before. "Depending on your answer, we might have to take drastic measures."

"No, I'm not a pirate" Yuu answered. His voice sounded confident in Hina's ears. His eyes did not waver at all.

"I see… Then where did you come from?" Hina asked, narrowing her eyes at Yuu.

"Crap… If I don't know what the World Government is or the Marines… How in the hell am I supposed to know the countries here?" Yuu thought to himself. His heart was pounding furiously despite his stoic facial expression. "Maybe I can use 'that'..."

"Agh…" Yuu began to hold his head in pain, and got a reaction out of Hina. Yuu slightly smirked as he played his fake headache. "What can I find?" Yuu wondered as voices from around the ship began to flow this ears.

"Are you alright?" Hina asked holding Yuu's shoulder.

"Yeah I'm fine…" Yuu grunted as he stopped holding his head in 'pain'. "Sorry about that… I'm from East Blue, just an explorer."

"An explorer?" Hina asked.

"Yes. I've been wandering the Grand line for about 4 years. I've jumped from ship to ship, mostly merchant ships to get around. I think about a few days ago, a merchant ship I was on was attacked by pirates." Yuu said, making up some random BS story.

"I see… But why are you carrying these weapons?" Hina asked looking at the two blades.

"You never know when someone wants to kill you for your money. It's good to have a weapon to at least protect yourself, right?" Yuu said with a smile on his face. Hina giggled a little bit at his answer, and tossed the two blades to Yuu, who grabbed them with ease.

"Hm… Okay. You don't seem like a bad person at all Yuu. However Hina is currently on a mission, so I must ask you to stay on board till the mission is complete." Hina looked at Yuu with determination, she made sure no was not even an option. Yuu did not physically react, but his thoughts were now all jumbled up.

"Are you serious? I have to stay here? I don't even know what the mission is… I need to find an opportunity to get off this thing!" Yuu thought. There had to be a way off the ship. Most ships have an extra row boat or two, and looking at the size of the Marine ship, they should have at least one. "So what you're saying is… I'm pretty much being held here against my will?"

"Well if you put it like that, it would make Hina look bad… However I guess that's one way of looking at it" Hina replied. She moved her hand over to her cup of tea and drank it while looking at Yuu, hoping for some sort of reaction.

"I need a plan… Something… Anything…" Yuu used his peripheral vision to see if there was anything he could use. Suddenly Yuu felt something coming towards Hina. Without a second thought he jumped towards Hina, too fast for her to react. "Get down!"

"What?!" Hina yelled in surprise as Yuu grabbed her and spun her around so his back would face the wooden floor. A second later after Yuu grabbed Hina, a cannon ball crashed through the walls, destroying Hina's desk. "What the heck was that!?"

"Hey! Are you okay?!" Yuu asked holding onto Hina. Hina looked down at Yuu and their faces were close to each other, so close that their noses were almost touching. Hina didn't even notice she was blushing a little bit, but Yuu saw it right away and released her. "I-I'm going to take that as a yes…"

"Usopp! Why in the hell did you fire the cannon!?" Nami ran over to the long nosed boy and slammed her fist down onto his skull. "You could have hurt someone! Most importantly, you could have given away our position!"

"Sorry… But I needed to try out the new cannons we got… I didn't know they were loaded" Usopp said painfully, rubbing his head. "Besides no one got hurt! See?!" Usopp pointed at the two looked. It was quite foggy during their trip and all they saw was a Marine ship coming by them with a large hole near the stern.

"Eh?" This was all Usopp muttered.

"NOOOOOOOOO!" Nami screamed as the rest of the crew came out to see what was going on. Zoro and Luffy looked happy since they do enjoy a fight, whilst Vivi, Chopper, and Carue were holding each other in fear. Sanji on the other hand spun towards Nami saying something about 'Jump into my arms Nami-swan! It will make you feel safe!'

"Captain!" A single Marine busted through the door screaming, however his eyes moved towards the two looking his captain over Yuu. To make it worse, Yuu's hands were right around her waist. "Oh… Uh… Sorry for interrupting" The Marine scratched his head and began to close the door, before Hina jumped up.

"Disregard what you saw. Whats going on outside?" Hina asked. The Marine stood back at attention, while Yuu was on the ground thinking, 'You could've said thank you'

"It's the Straw Hat Pirates!" The Marine reported. "We didn't see it coming with all the fog outside. The cannon ball just came out of nowhere.

"Straw hat huh?" Hina said with a low tone, before smirking subtly. Hina turned her head to Yuu who got himself off the ground dusting off the Marine uniform. "Yuu-san you stay here. It's dangerous outside. You two!" Hina yelled pointing at the Marine who gave the report as well as one running by. "You two stay here and guard, understood?!"

"Yes ma'am!" The two Marines yelled and saluted at the pink haired captain. Hina glanced at Yuu one more time before leaving her quarters, and closing the doors behind her. The Marines told Yuu to sit down and he did as told, using this attack at his advantage.

"Say… Who are the Straw Hat pirates anyways? Your captain had a pretty scary look on her face" Yuu said, talking to the Marine on his left.

"Hm? Well the Straw Hat pirates are pretty infamous I guess. They defeated some tough pirates and Marine officers in the Grand line, and even escaped from Captain Smoker." The Marine gave a short and sweet explanation, but whether or not it was good crew or not, he had to get off this Government ship.

"I see…" Yuu quietly replied before sensing another incoming cannon ball. The cannon ball crashed through the walls, and Yuu got up and kicked the chair he was sitting on towards one of the Marines, knocking him out instantly. Yuu swiftly dashed towards the other and slightly drew out his blade, with the pommel striking the Marines stomach. "Well you two would have died if I didn't do anything. Consider that a thanks for the info"

Yuu ran towards the door and kicked it open. He saw Marines running around with rifles and swords. One Marine in particular, who was Hina, had metal bars coming out of her arms. Yuu decided not to question it since he really didn't have the time. Some of Marines noticed him and shoved a pistol towards his chest.

"What do you think you're doing?! Hurry up and fight!" The Marine yelled as he ran off towards the direction of the attacking ship. Yuu looked at the Marine as he ran away, before turning his attention back to the pink haired captain, who looked his way.

"Hey! Hina told you to stay inside didn't I?!" Hina angrily walks towards me, whipping some of the cannon balls away with her metal barred arms with ease. Yuu took a step back and grabbed onto the stair railings. "If you are not going to comply… I'll have to contain you by force!" Hina whipped her arms towards Yuu, and black metal bars came in fast at Yuu.

"I'm going back to being held like a prisoner!" Yuu thought to himself as did a high back flip onto the stern. Yuu turned heels and began to run, pushing his way through the Marines. Nobody questioned him since he did have the same uniform.

"Get back here!" Hina yelled, jumping over onto the stern. She chased after Yuu where he ended up on the starboard wooden railings. Yuu backed up against the railings with Hina standing a good 10 metres away. "There's nowhere left to run"

The two stared at each other, what seemed like an eternity. Soon Yuu gave a slick smirk at Hina. Hina's eyes widened as Yuu fell back and flipped over the railings. Hina ran forward to the railings and look down at the ocean.

"He isn't there?" Hina looked around the railing but didn't see the boy anywhere. However Yuu was a sneaky, intelligent boy. After flipping off the railings he grabbed hold of some of the wooden planks and swung down near the rudder.

"Looks like I got her fooled… Now time to get to that pirate ship!" Yuu said holding out his arms as a red flame curled around his arm like snake. Black chains materialized out of the fire with a blade attached onto the end. Letting go of the chain, it began to fall quickly, and Yuu, with a flick of the wrist threw it directly at Straw Hat pirate's ship. "Okay!" Yuu yanked the chain as if he was pulling the ship towards him. His body flew forward and he landed perfectly on the side of the ship with his legs, climbing his way up to the deck.

Hina looked at the young black haired boy and slammed her fist onto the rails in frustration. Her eyes twitched as she turned back to her crew. "Well, whatever… If you stay with them, it won't be long till you face me again…"

"Whoa!" Yuu retracted his chained dagger before landing smoothly onto the pirate ship. "Whew… That was clos—" Yuu was cut short as he drew his blade to stop a blade and his left leg to stop a kick. "You know… I'm not going to question why you would attack me, since it's quite obvious… But… Could we at least talk it out?"

"Why should we?" Sanji asked.

"Yeah I agree. We could cut you down now and not bother with all the trouble" Zoro said with a sinister smirk on his face.

"Look I know this seems a little but rushed, but hey… Oh?" Yuu stopped talking and looked at the blonde hair guys face, "Are those swirly eyebrows natural or a disease?"

"HUH?! YOU LITTLE!" Sanji flew into rage, pulling his right leg back to send another kick with his left.

"Oh!" Yuu screamed as he bent his back dodging the kick, "Whew… Uh?" Yuu looked up and saw Zoro was leaning on the railing, with his shoulder's trembling.

"Hey whats going on here?! Eh? Whats wrong with Zoro?!" Nami came through along with four other people… One particularly eating a piece of meat the size of a tiger.

"PAHAHA! See even a random guy thinks your eyebrows are stupid!" Zoro began to hold his stomach in laughter, tears forming in his eyes.

"SAY THAT AGAIN MOSS HEAD I DARE YOU!" Sanji's eyebrow twitched, then directed his attention to Zoro whose laugh disappeared instantly staring back at him.

"WHAT ME TO BEAT THE SHT OUTTA YOU?!" Zoro yelled back. The two then began to bicker yanking each other's faces, before Nami smacked them in the back of the head with her fists.

"And who are you?" Vivi asked, before looking at what I was wearing, "You're a Marine!?" She exclaimed.

"Gomu Gomu No… Pistol!" Someone yelled out. Yuu looked a head and saw a fist head straight for his face. He quickly place his hands behind backwards onto the wooden floor, and sprung up on his feet, with the punch flying right in between his legs.

"Hey! Wait! I'm not a part of the Marines!" Yuu exclaimed before noticing the arm retracting back to Luffy, staring at him with a blank face, before taking a large bite out his meat. "… … … WHAT THE HELL!?"

"WHAT A LATE REACTION!" The rest of the pirate crew screamed.

"Oi! Luffy what do we do now!?" Usopp frantically asked, as more cannon balls flew towards them.

"Damn! If you don't believe me than…" Yuu started as he ran past everyone grabbing their attention, "I'll just have to prove it!" Yuu placed the skin of his thumb in this mouth and bit down on his skin, wincing for a quick second. Taking his blade completely out, he wiped the blood across his blade onto the red inscriptions. The writing began to glow red and the blood sunk into the blade. The glow got brighter until a red flame bursted from the guard of blade to the tip.

"To think I have to use this now…" Yuu thought to himself, as his left red eye contracted a red flame as well as well as the back of his left hand, and his feet.

"AWESOME!" Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper exclaimed with their jaw dropping to the deck.

"What the hell is that?" Zoro asked, staring mostly at the blade, rather than Yuu.

"Is that a devil fruit?" Sanji asked, with his cigar almost dropping out of his mouth.

"Damn… I'm still a little tired… One wave and then I'll probably pass out…" Yuu looked at the ship and its cannon balls, and stood as the cannon balls got closer.

"HEY WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? HURRY UP AND DESTROY THOSE CANNON BALLS!" Usopp exclaimed in tears, with Chopper running around in circles, Nami and Vivi holding onto each other for dear life.

"Hey! Why aren't you guys doing anything?!" Sanji yelled as Zoro and Luffy looked at Yuu. Zoro glared at him as if he knew or expected something insane to come out, and even smiled. Luffy on the other hand smiled tipped his hat down, shadowing his eyes.

"This guy… Is strong" Luffy and Zoro said grabbing the crew attention.

"Ketsueki… Mikadzuki!" Yuu yelled out swing his blade horizontally, releasing a black fiery wave with red hues towards the Marine ship.

"EHHHHH?!" Both of the crews from the Straw hat and the marines excluding Zoro, Luffy and Hina were shocked. With the time Yuu chose, he sliced all of the cannon balls in half even melting them a bit, and as the wave approached the ship, it cut the mast, as well as all of the sails, creating a perfectly straight line cut.

"That's good right?" Yuu said weakly as the red flames dissipated from his blade, eye, hand, and feet.

"H-Hey!" Sanji yelled grabbing him into time before he hit the deck. "Hey, Chopper can you take care of him?"

"Y-Yeah!" Chopper answered, transforming into his human form and began to carry Yuu into the cabins.

"The rest of you! Hurry up and start rowing! We don't want to stay here any longer!" Nami exclaimed. Zoro, Sanji, Luffy, and Usopp began to row as fast as they could, before their ship sailed away from the heavily damaged Marine ship.

"Yuu… I'll make sure I will find you again." Hina said standing on the deck of ship, her arms crossed and her facial expression dark.

~2 hours later~

On the deck of the Going Merry, everyone regroup at the centre as Chopper left the cabin room to report to them.

"So how's he doing?" Nami asked Chopper.

"He's doing fine. In fact he just seemed to be fatigued. Although something did bother me" Chopper said crossing his arms.

"Eh? What was it?" Usopp asked.

"Well, as I was looking at his wounds, if he had any I noticed multiple injuries. A few broken ribs, a fracture, and some twists. But he received those no later than 18 hours ago" Chopper said.

"18 hours? Seems okay to me" Zoro said.

"NOT EVERYON IS A MONSTER LIKE YOU!" Usopp exclaimed as Luffy began to laugh whole heartedly.

"He's one tough fellow isn't he?" Luffy said grinning happily. The rest of crew wondered if Luffy even knew what Chopper was saying.

"Anyways, there's nothing wrong with him. But it feels kind of abnormal for a person recover this quickly." Chopper said.

"Well seeing what he pulled against that Marine ship… I wouldn't be surprised if he passed out. A move like that would take a toll on somebody" Sanji said lighting a cigar after throwing the other away.

"So Luffy? What are going to do with him?" Nami said turning to face her captain, who was not there. "Eh? Luffy?"

"Hey?! Are you awake?! Join my crew!" Luffy was in the cabin up near Yuu's ear screaming this statement.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" The crew yelled out, with Nami running up and punching Luffy in the face.

"Okay" Yuu said shooting his eyes open with a straight face, "My name is Shadow B. Yuuta, you can call me Yuu for short if you like. Nice to meet you all… *snore*"

"THAT QUICK?! DON'T JUST SLEEP!" The crew yelled, excluding Chopper and Luffy who was happily smiling and laughing.

"He's supposed to be sleeping!" Chopper cried out.

Okay everyone I hope you enjoyed the first chapter of this story. As you can see I skipped some of arcs in beginning mostly because (for me guys… For me) it didn't pick up until the Alabasta (Arabasta?) arc. Which as you can see is where we are at. Like most other stories I believe, mine will also follow the "Plot Line". What I mean by that is that I will follow how the Alabasta arc starts and finish, but all the events that occur will be tweaked greatly and as much as possible to reduce the repetitiveness. Anyways I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter, feel free to review if you'd like, and I will see you guys next time! 'Kay? Bye!

P.S. I wasn't sure if Hina refers to herself in the third-person every time she uses an "I", "Me", or "My. To be honest I tried doing that, and I lost my mind. I even wrote dieded… So… If she does refer to her name every time she uses those pronouns… Then we gonna have stop the third person stuff. That stuff hurts my brain.
