One Piece: Epilogue- Loguetown
-As Luffy, Sanji and Zoro were running through town with the navy on their heels, they ran into Usopp who went looking for them. Usopp (who was facing the other direction than the rest) had noticed a shadowy figure on the rooftops staring down on to the crew, however he couldn't identify the person because the rain was blurring his vision.
Usopp pointed towards the rooftop next to the crew and said. - "Guys… who's that?!"
- When lighting struck, the shadowy image disappeared from the rooftops and a mysterious man was now standing before them. -
- The pirate crew stood still and faced the 'Stranger', not knowing whether he's an ally or foe. -
Usopp reached towards his chest and let out a scream. "Ugghhh!"
-The sight of a creepy guy following them while wearing a worn-out cloak and holding a damaged dagger, was nearly enough for Usopp to slowly fall backwards and faint out of both fear and shock. -
-The pirate crew readied themselves facing the 'Stranger', preparing themselves for a fight.
Zoro looked at the stranger and said- "He's that same guy from before!" *swords unsheathed* "Stand back Luffy I'll take care of him!"
- Right after Zoro spoke, the ground began to shake.-
*Stranger started mumbling* "Earth Earth... 'Wall'."
- Before anyone knew what was going on, a wall made out of stone suddenly appeared between the Straw Hats and the Navy. Thus cutting them off and securing their safety. -
-Luffy stopped Zoro. -
"Hang on Zoro.." – Luffy said with a calm yet serious voice.
-Luffy now faces the 'mysterious stranger'.-
"Oi was that you're doing, at the platform?"
"Well it's just my way of saying thank you..." -'The Stranger' responded.
-As he said that he slowly gazed down at his left hand that was holding some sort of book...-
-'The Stranger' now moved towards Luffy and Zoro. –
-'The Stranger' spoke with a serious voice.- "Now... about that swordsman…"
