You must review. No really. I'm forcing you by waving my fingers spookily at the screen of my computer... I'm like Doflamingo you see... OooOOooooh~


Prologue
Devon and Nero the Ds


Wealth, Fame, Power. The man who obtained everything in this world, the Pirate King, Monkey D. Luffy, drove countless men into the sea with his dying words.
"You want my treasure? You can have it. Search for it! I left it all in that place..."
You could say that things never go as the government planned. This truly is a maginficent pirate age!


Devon never would've suspected this would happen.

He had found his long lost brother.

Well, that was not entirely true. They weren't related by blood and neither of them had any brothers at all, at least no one known to them.

But the black-haired eightteen-year old in front of him was so alike him personalitywise that it was hard to think that they were not distantly related.

It all had begun one morning when Devon had decided to be stupid. Namely, he had decided to go and celebrate the fact that he had reached the age of nineteen by going to the bar to take his first beer. He didn't just take his first beer though, since after about a half hour he was caught up in the biggest drunken brawl East Blue had ever seen. In HanabularnaVillage, too, one of the most peaceful villages in the world.

In a way, it was completely Devon's fault, not that he'd ever admit it. If those goddamn drunkards just hadn't stepped on his toe then the fact that Devon was an angry drunk could've been revealed another day. Luckily for the guests in the bar Devon did not know how to use Haki when he was drunk - heck, he could barely use his Devil's Fruit powers when he was drunk. But even more luckily for him, he met Nero.

The brawl was reaching its climax with only three people left standing - Devon, that large muscular guy called Vinny and Nero. In his drunken state, Devon didn't realize that Nero had never been there before unlike all the other customers at the bar. Sure, a lot of them traveled and at least half of them were not inhabitants of Hanabularna Village, but they were all quite frequent guests so the next day when he did realize that he hadn't seen Nero there before he became pretty surprised.

"Ugh... my head..." Devon had groaned as he got up in a sitting position, massaging his temples viciously.

"You can throw quite the punch!" an unfamiliar yet blurrily familiar voice had praised meekly.

Devon had turned to the owner of the voice and squinted in confusion. "Who the hell are you?"

In front of him had a boy in his age stood. The boy had incredibly darkly black hair with three green (almost neon-green in the contrast of the black hair) stripes running from the edges of his bangs to the little swirl on the back of his head. He wore an open black hoodie with white pirate-pants and brown sandals. Underneath his hoodie was no shirt at all and he shamelessly revealed his muscular chest with two big, stitched together scars carving through. The scars resembled a plus and Devon noted that whoever cut it did it with great 'care' since they were so neat. As for his facial features, his face was quite normal for a boy in the age of nineteen. A woman would possibly call him 'cute' or 'handsome', but to Devon, who was honestly straight, saw him as any other man would - between the line of ugly and not-ugly. But what stood out the most on Nero's face was the fact that he only had one gleaming green eye. The other eye was covered by a headband hanging loosely on his forehead. A thin, stitched scar was running down from that headband, so Devon guessed that the right eye was long lost.

"Oh, me?" Nero had asked, proudly pointing his thumb at his chest. "I'm Nero D. Daeger! A pirate Doctor! Say, wanna be my captain?"

That was probably the weirdest question Devon had ever heard in his entire life. "Huh?"

"Oh right!" The strange teen called Nero smacked his forehead with his own palm. "I need your name first. What's your name?"

"... Devon D. Feshaku", Devon managed to stutter, still frowning in confusion at this 'Nero'.

"Oooh! D, too? Awesome! We may be related somehow!" Nero exclaimed gleefully. "Anyways, anyways, what do you say? Shall we form a pirate crew?"

You know, Devon really should've refused. But that boy, or man, had just become his comrade before he could even start his crew. He had always planned to go out to the sea, after all, but he had thought about waiting for that at least another year to train up his Busoshoku Haki a bit more, for example.

However...

Waiting was a pain in the ass.

"I might still be a bit drunk and I might regret this later", Devon began, cracking a smile, "but why the hell not? We're heading for the Grand Line in that case, just so you know."

Nero grinned widely. "I wouldn't want to go to any other place!" He reached out with his hand to help Devon up to his feet. "I'm going to become the greatest doctor this world has ever seen and the greatest explorer to ever have walked this earth. What about you?"

"Nothing much, I'm just aiming to become the Pirate King", Devon declared with a smirk. "Too much for you?"

"Nope! It's just enough", grinned Nero. "What shall your crew be called?"

"Hmm... I was thinking..." Devon paused for a moment to think. Then he grinned as well. "How about the Eclipsed Sun Pirates?"

Nero suddenly dropped his enthusiastic mood and exchanged it for a sceptical appearance with a quirked eyebrow. "Eclipsed Sun? That's so cliche. Why not Dragon Wing?"

"Cliche or not, it fits. And Dragon Wing is even more cliche. Would you rather have me name it 'Shadow Fang' or 'Devon pirates'?"

"... Let's have Eclipsed Sun. Emo."

"Dragon fanboy."

It was the oddest and most random day in Devon's entire life, but it was also probably one of his best.

That or he was just too freaking drunk to realize how freaking crazy it was.


Author's Note: Whoop-whoop! Finally wrote this! I've been wanting to write this for ages, but I didn't have much motivation until I pictured one of my OCs as a Shichibukai. The thought amused me so much that I finally wrote it, just to get my own take of One Piece with my own characters. I hope you enjoyed! Thanks for reading! Please review!
