Note: I'm having a hard time typing long this. As a challenge I'm gonna be posting 10,000 words this chapter and then adding 1,000 the next chapter and so on and so forth. Please Read and Review give me suggestions. I'm gonna be using filler characters to adapt on this story.
In the future I might be creating stories like this with this as the base. As you have noticed the OC is a Swordsman, so next time I might create a story where the OC is not a fighter rather a Scientist or some thing like that. Anyone is welcome to take the plot and create a world on their own. Frankly they might be better than this than I am.

One Piece Adventure RPG: The Swordsman
Daniel looked at the events listed on the Newspaper.
The events are all somewhat important events in the world.
He clearly liked the situation where all the big shots on the manga are somewhat just starting out. And not only that, he will be able to change a bunch of events on the story and save a bunch of dead people.
Oh how Daniel wished to have access to the One piece Wiki right now.
Another factor in his decision is there seems to be a lot of swordsmen, years before the cannon story started. Which means more opportunities to Grind out levels.
Finally having decided on what to choose. He tapped the article he wanted.
April 30 , 1500 AOS GOLD ROGER CAPTURED! TO BE EXECUTED ON THE WEAKEST SEA IN 5 DAYS!
The whole scene around him went into fast forward. The funny thing is he can see people walking backwards.
He cracked up when poop went back to a dog's ass. Disgusting but still funny as hell.
He also noticed that the town seemed different. There's a lot more buildings. The structures all have a sort of European design to them.
He looked back at the paper he is reading. Instead of seeing the multiple headlines. Now he can only see one.
The one he chose.
He then rolled the newspaper and tugged it under his arm. With both arm on his coat pocket he went of the road and walked in the sidewalk narrowly missing a wagon.
"Watch where your going." The driver yelled away.
He just continued walking trying to find a way to know where he is.
He got his moment when he walked past a guy with blond hair holding hands with a beautiful woman who has brown hair and very familiar looking Swirling eyebrows. Both of them look to be in there 20's
"Can we have another date darling!." The Blond man dreamily announced to the woman.
"We just finished our date you Shitty Bastard." Said the woman.
'Shitty?' Daniel recognized that as something Sanji would usually say. He turned around to catch up to the couple.
"Excuse me can I ask you guys some questions.?" Asked Daniel.
The couple stopped and turned around facing him. The woman just smiled. "Sure."
'Wow those eyebrows are really something.' "I'm just a passing adventurer. I'm not familiar with this town. You guys seem to know your way around." Said Daniel.
The Blond took out a pack of cigarettes and proceeded to light one.
Taking a puff he answered. "You my good sir are in the great Kingdom of Lvneel."
He was about to take another puff when he got smacked in the head so hard , he was now face first in the sidewalk , with a purse courtesy of the Brown haired Beauty beside's him.
"BAKA! I told you that if I ever see smoking again. I'll smack it out of you!" The girl yelled at the blond man with shark like teeth.
Daniel sweat dropped it seems that the word was really anime like.
The Blond just immediately stood up with a dreamy look with blood pouring from his forehead. " Mellorine! I love it when you look concerned like that."
'Yup these guys are definitely Sanji's Parents.' While the couple are busy with their antics. Daniel tried to remember where Lvneel is. He remembered that it was the Kingdom Montblanc Noland came from. The game has transported him to North Blue, in relation to the one he wrote on his bio.
He fake cough drawing the attention of the couple once again. " Thank you, Do you happen to know where the nearest Gary' Joe is?"
The brown-haired woman pointed to the end of the street in front of her. "You just need to cross to the other side of that street, turn right and just go walk forward and you will see their building. Kinda hard to miss."
Daniel gave the couple a nod. And before turning around he asked 1 more question. " Oh and by the way are you two by any chance married?"
The brown-haired beauty just smiled and lifted her left hand with a small diamond ring on it. " Close this idiot here is my Fiancé. Why do we look married?"
"Yeah you guys really look good together." Said Daniel continuing on his way.
The blonde man still looking at the teenager grinned. " You see that my darling my love for you is overflowing that other people are thinking we are already married." He exclaimed.
"Yeah yeah, whatever you shitty idiot." She then hooked her hand on her fiance's hand and motioned for them to go on their way. "Come on Santi-kun lets have that date."
The blond man with the beautiful girl hooked in his left arm raised his right hand dramatically.
"HAI! Angie-Chan."
XxXxX
Back with Daniel on his way to GJL
Daniel then followed the couples and after a few minutes of walking he saw the large GPL building.

'What!, my fruit is in there!' He is shocked with what the game alerted him off.
Game Alert: Patch Update

'Yeah whatever.' He thought clearly still raging with the thought of his precious 100 million item being lost.
He then noticed everything frozen once again. The GPL building's is somewhat morphing. A tall antenna is now on its roof.
Patch notes: Gary Joe's now has Item Teleporters. Items stored in any vault can now be accessed through any GJL branch worldwide. Standard fee of 5,000 bellies per item.
Daniel gave sigh of relief when he saw that. It seems the game will have changes like this. And looking around Daniel noticed that the people. Just accept the change as if it was always there. Now knowing that his loot is still safe. He immediately opened his stats.

Daniel then proceeded to check his skills. It looks like he can only put 2 more levels on his Sword skill. He then combed through the skill list and noticed New Ones in Combat skills. He also noticed he still can't upgrade his Kings Haki.
The Way of the Sword (katana) Level 3- Provides Advanced knowledge of kenjutsu stances and techniques. +7 to Str when holding a katana and 3 Spd. Special move Unlocked.

Bread makes you fat?
Cannot get fat on eating large amount of carbohydrates.
Food can heal all wounds
Eating will heal any damage even if your on the brink of death. (Quantity and Quality of food in relation to injury.)
Daniel scanned the whole list and picked. "Food can heal all wounds". In a game where he can expect to be injure more times than not. It never hurts to be prepared.
He really wanted that boost in speed again. He figured he can take it once he hits Level 10.
Once that's done. He went on his way and continued to read what else is on the newspaper.
He sat on a bench, he located while going on his way. Nothing else noteworthy is written on the article. Although it was written that countless pirates from all over the world will be flocking Loguetown to watch the Pirate King sentenced to death. He then stood up and walked over to a trashcan to throw away the newspaper.
He decided that if it's gonna be that important he might as well check it himself. And he has only 5 days to do so.
'Well it's time to hit the local bar. Let's see if I can hitch a ride to East Blue.'
Life's a bitch.
To some Life is good. But if you're in Lvneel and has the name Montblanc it's certainly hell.
Well whats the problem you can always hide your name right? If you inherited the tell-tale chestnut hair your family has going for them. That's gonna be a different story.
If you did life is a bitch.
It's even bitchier when it's all because of your good for nothing ancestor.
400 years ago the Montblanc name had power. Whenever they hear the name Montblanc they only think of great and noble warriors and well-respected Explorer/Researchers. The name responsible in putting various Island in the MAP. Thanks to their prowess in navigation and exploration.
Now when you hear Montblanc. You only hear that they're nothing but liars and tricksters. And that will lead countless men into their graves. The term "Don't you pull a Noland on me and we have been Montblanc" all coined with the names notoriety. You can't even get a decent job once they found out that you are a Montblanc.
Cricket , who has long cast away the Montblanc name , is currently sitting in a Bar drinking his sorrows away. Being a Montblanc , Cricket has had a hard life. More so than his other family members.
He unfortunately had inherited the Chestnut head of their family.
For 22 years of his life. He has been spit on, discriminated and has been the butt of many many jokes.
That all changed when he became a pirate captain a couple of months ago. Nobody makes fun of a Pirate Captain.
It also helps that your 6' 7" and has muscles the size of Water Melons. Yup training was the best decision he ever made.
He was about to take another shot of his whisky. When he noticed a man dressed in a long black open coat with white shirt went inside the bar.
The man looked to be about 18-20 years old and carries a normal looking Katana on his left side. With just a glance he noticed that the man carried himself as someone knowledgeable with the sword.
The man walked slowly towards the bar and placed his Katana on the Counter top. The man then sat a chair apart from his left side. On a closer look the man looked more like a teenager. Yup definitely young.
The lad then motioned for the bartender. And asked for a drink
The bartender then acknowledged the new comer. "Hey aren't you a little to young to be drinking?"
The boy just shrugged. " Nah, Old enough to Kill Old enough to drink. Besides I'm 18."
'Kids got balls.' he thought.
-Daniel's Side-
Daniel walked inside the 3rd bar he has located. He was a bit frustrated. No one has a way for him to get to East Blue.
Worst of all the Government Sanctioned Ships that usually travel there. Are currently banned in going anywhere near East Blue at the moment, until the Sentence has been carried out.
He went inside the rinky dink bar. He also wanted to look a little intimidating before his search. So he asked the local Nancy P. Candace in the area. (All towns and islands has their recedent Nancy P. Candace. All of them the same look with a different hair color. Kinda like Office jenny in pokemon.)
He asked where he can find the best weapon's shop in town. There he bought the best katana he held yet, which cost him 250,000 Bellies. The katana itself is better than the regular marine issue he handheld back in tutorial. But it's also not that great. For the meantime it would have to do.
Walking slowly towards the bar. He noticed a familiar figure sitting there drinking whisky. If he was right it was a young-looking Montblanc Cricket. With a glance he noticed, that even in his youth he was already buff as a bull. He then proceeded to sit a chair between the left side of Cricket.
From the Looks of it Cricket is already a Pirate Captain. He wondered how much his bounty was.
He motioned for the bartender getting his attention. The bartender then told him he might be a little to young to drink. Seeing an opportunity to look Badass he just responded with the old 'Old enough to kill, Old enough to drink bit'. With a glance he noticed that Cricket is clearly amused with his response.
Seeing a chance to open up a conversation he looked at Cricket and asked.
"Say aren't you a Montblanc?" with a casual tone.
The whole bar went deadly silent upon hearing his questions. Everyone was looking at them. The tension was so thick you can cut it with a knife. Cricket face forward in the bar with Daniel with his head slightly turned to Cricket.
Daniel clearly confused with the recent turn of events , just had enough time to grab his katana with his right hand and grab the scabbard with his left hand. He turned his body around still sitted. He positioned his sword with his right hand on the handle and left hand on the scabbard leaving it unsheathed and blocked a high-speed kick coming from Cricket.
The kick connected to the scabbard of his unsheathed sword he is launched backwards crashing the chairs behind him and finally connecting to the wooden bar wall destroying it creating a hole. He quickly stood up thanking his leveled Kenjutsu skill, giving him the instincts to block the blow.
'Damn it, it looks like the name is taboo.'
Getting up from the wall he faced Cricket with his right hand partially unsheathing his sword from the scabbard still held by his left hand.
Game Alert: Quest Hitchin a ride.

Boss Battle
'The hell who does a boss battle at the beginning of a freakin quest.' He then glanced at the broken chairs and the hole he came from. He faced Cricket who is doing a strange stance where he is facing him on his side, left hand stretched out like a snake strike and his right hand arched upwards.
'Yup this is how he fought Sanji.' "Hey man, I don't know what your problem is but I'm not paying for that hole." said Daniel.
Cricket charged at Daniel with great speed.
His speed is greater than Cricket though. He was able to jump backward dodging a swing kick to the midsection.
He then completely unsheathed his katana. Daniel quickly readied a downward strike to Cricket. Cricket with the current momentum from his right leg sweeping kick blocked the strike with a Pistol pointing it sidewards at Daniel.
Daniel not waiting for the pistol to fire used his scabbard to swipe from underneath to direct the pistol up. The pistol fired missing Danie,l as the bullet travel upward.
With no wasted movement. While turning his left hand, Cricket, forming a chopping backhanded strike swiped Daniel on his left side under the ribs.
Daniel skid a few feet from the strike and hopped away to create distance. 'Damn that's a mean strike. Yup cracked a rib. But now its my turn.' He charged at Cricket and used his newly acquired move. Shunkan Kiritateru (Flash Slash) he muttered. Catching Crickets shoulder with a slash wounding him.
The slash itself was not that deep but was draining blood from the Pirate Captain. Cricket did another sweeping to the midsection only for Daniel to hop away.
Daniel utilizing his current technique of injuring his opponent and hoping away, waited for the cooldown to finish and then flash slashed once more. Qnce again Cricket is caught off-guard.
Daniel is also hit 2 times with kicks. One in the shoulder and one on his right side.
Cricket though was hit with Flash slash with a total of 4 times and was bleeding all over.
The both of them were about to get it on once again when the bar door opened.
"Captain! El Drago attacked out ship. Oh shit captain what happened to you?" A man with a bald head and small grey beard shouted.
"Can't you see I'm on a fight Hobston." Replied Cricket.
"But Captain El Drago took all of our loot, all of our treasure gone." Said the other man.
"How badly damaged is the ship? And how long can we fix it.?" asked Cricket to the other Pirate.
Normally Daniel would be ticked off. Clearly he is being ignored but he is patient. And with the addition of the other guy he's wary. It seems him and Cricket are somewhat equal and an unknown might make things look bad for him. So he just waited and listened in on their conversation.
"Captain we can have it ready in 3 days." Said the other guy.
"Dammit, If we fight El Drago we wont make it to East Blue in time. But if we don't we will lose our loot." Said Cricket.
Daniel perked up when he heard that these guys were going to East Blue. Hopefully to watch the execution. He thanked the stars with his patience and took a chance. From the manga he knew that Cricket was really a good guy so he just let it fly.
He relaxed his stance and said. "Maybe I can help you out with that." Said Daniel addressing the two men.
Cricket then turned his attention to him still battle ready. "Well why should I listen to you?"
Daniel gave him a look. "First off I don't know what your problem is but I didn't mean anything when I asked you earlier and second I think we can help each other." Daniel Seeing Cricket Relax he continued. "I'm looking to hitch a ride to Loguetown and from what I understand you guys might be going there as well. But you need time to repair your ship. Time that you don't have if you face El Drago. So how about this. I retrieve everything he got from you guys. Enact revenge on your behalf. And in exchange you guys take me to Loguetown. It's a win for everyone."
Cricket knew this guy could probably do it. He gave him a skeptical look. "How would I know you will do it?"
Daniel just responded. "You have my word."
Cricket nodded and motioned for Hobston to write a list of everything taken. He gave the list to Daniel. "You have 3 days that's the time we need to fix up the ship. My crew will be able to sail towards Loguetown in a day and a half. Once you've done your part meet us in the docks. I'll have some of my men waiting there. I assure you that if you do this I'll take you to Loguetown." They then shakes hands.
Cricket and Hobston proceeded to walk outside the Cricket still a little bloodied up.
Daniel walked slowly back at the Bar Counter asking the bartender some food.
Cricket was almost out of the door when he heard the bartender whisper something at the Boy.
"Are you sure you can trust a guy like that. Don't you know who he is. His whole family is a bunch of liars." The Barman whispered.
Daniel just shook his head and just said. "Nah he looks to be a Man of his Word."
Cricket stopped halfway out the door when he heard that. And without looking he asked. "Hey whats you name?".
"I'm Sparrow D. Daniel. Whats yours?" asked Daniel.
"Montblanc Cricket." Said Cricket finally walking out of the bar with a smile.

Contortionist Level 1 – Makes user's body Flexible able to bend in angles not normally possible for humans without training. Body flexibility increased by 50%. 20% more resistance to bending injuries.
Once he's done he proceeded to eat his meal and healing his injuries in the process.
After 9 Servings of Roast Meat he got up and went outside to try to find any information on the El Drago Pirates.
For what he can remember El Drago was a Filler character on the series. He thought the game may be using filler characters in his quests.
'Maybe I can meet those hot filler characters as well.' He thought.
He was walking on the side walk when he noticed something. 'Hah I knew that bastard was strong.' He grinned and walked away. What he saw was a Wanted Poster.

-Hours Passed-
Before he searched for El Drago's crew he bought 2 more Katanas like the one he currently has.
He was in no way going Santoryu. He just wants to have backups in-case his current katana gets broken.
He slept in a room he rented for 6 hours. And searched for clues later that afternoon.
Daniel looked the darkening sky. He noticed that he can see 3 round Celestial Bodies in the sky. He then remembered that it is rumored that "Planet Oda" has 6 moons according to a model in Ohara.

He then proceeded to ask around for every rumors.
He got a break .
After 4 hours of asking, he got lucky while taking a break at a Takoyaki Stand. He asked the guy selling the takoyaki about El Drago.
The man told him that there was 3 men who ate earlier. Having no love for El Drago. The takoyaki vendor told Daniel that he overheard them talking about El Drago. The man also overheard that the 3 men were on their way to the town Casino.
Once the vendor was finished speaking. The game alerted Daniel once more.
Game Alert: Hitchin a Ride. Updated.
-Find the Hyena Three. Ask them about El Drago.
Daniel went to the Casino.
On the Entrance he is stopped by the guards.
Apparently weapons are not allowed inside.
Daniel then bribed the guards with wads of cash.
The guards fortunately were greedy let him in as long as he hides his katanas inside his long coat. He searched the inside of the casino for the three. The trio wasn't that hard to find. One of them is actually wearing all pink. He then waited for the 3 of them to go out of the bar to ambush them.
After 3 hours of tailing the trio finally left the casino. He followed them until they were on a secluded area. Using his speed he knocked them out and tied them up.
-On an abandoned Barn outside of town-
The hyena three are all tied up in chairs unconscious. A hanging light bulb was the only light that can be seen. ( Yup its cliché but what the hell.)
Suddenly they were doused with cold water waking them up.
"Hey what the hell! You better show yourself. Don't you know that we are El Drago Pirates.! I demand you release us at once and we wont kill you." The pink dressed one said.
Daniel walked inside the light in front of the tied trio. A katana held in his right hand. " Let make this quick. Can you tell me where El Drago's base is?"
"You can't make us talk you bastard." Said the one with Pink hair.
"I really wanted this to be really easy but since you guys aren't talking I might need to take a few things from you guys." Daniel said while inspecting his Katana.
The one with shades on top of his head gulped. "Like what you're gonna rob us?"
"Oh no, I don't have use for money really. I'll just get a few body parts say an arm possibly a leg or two." Daniel then readied a strike to be stopped by all three of them yelling all at once.
"We'll Talk!"
-The Next Day-
Daniel walked towards the location of the Pirates base. He followed the map given to him by the he hasn't seen anyone draw that quick in his life. The Hyena Three was so scared for their limbs that they even listed down how many men El Drago has and Entrances to the Base itself. He also found out that there are two bounty heads in El Drago's Crew. He stopped once he was in view of their base. It Had a wall made of Pointed wooden logs. He stayed out of sight in the tree lines awaiting the cover of darkness.
He took out 2 pieces of paper from his pocket and looked at them.
Wanted Dead or Alive
"Golass"
25,000,000 ฿
Wanted Dead or Alive
"El Drago"
50,000,000 ฿
Daniel was certainly surprised when he saw them. He knew for a fact that Golass only had 8,000,000 on the anime. He figures that everything is a little different in particular to the Non-Cannon Characters. Hell he may even encounter New characters along the way.
He was a little concerned about El Drago.
El Drago is a fruit user, the Goe Goe no mi, he can fire beams of sound.
So basically he was gonna fight a guy who has a freaking Laser beam. Well at least its not Kizaru Quality Beams but still. It's a freakin Laser Chugging Pirate Captain.
Another concern was how he can cut through his Gold armor. He is quite certain that he can't cut through that yet so he must be precise with the whole thing. Another thing was the 100 or so crew members in that stronghold. Well he got that part down.
Daniel knew that he will have a lot of problems with the 100 or so crew members that El Drago has. So to counteract that he will need to wipe them out using the hand held bombs that he purchased. He spent 1,000,000 buying 30 of the orange sized balls of destruction.
Flashback
Daniel in Preparation for his raid asked Cricket as to where is this towns Dark store.
Having not seen a Dark Store before he expected it to be a highly classified area with lots of mobster type criminals and such.
What he didn't expect was a plain old house. Inside were people sitting scattered on all corners of the with a bunch of pictures in front of them.
"What the hell is this?" Said Daniel.
Cricket just gave him a 'are-you-serious-look' "Well it's the Dark store."
"But where are the things that are for sale?"
"Duh, do you expect them to bring it here. See those catalogs. You just look at them. Ask the guy in front of it the details of what they are and he will tell you. Then you guys will bargain it out and that's it. Its safer this way, if a bunch of marines raid this place they will just say it's a bunch of pictures." Said Cricket.
"Don't they already know? I mean this has been in business for a while they must know about this stuff already."
"Oh they know about it alright, they can only confiscate the goods, they can't actually arrest the sellers or risk War with a Yonkou."
Daniel was surprised when he mentioned Yonkou and asked " Which one?"
"The Dark Store Sellers are under the Protection of Dante 'The Inferno'."
"Who?" asked Daniel surprised by the clicheness of the whole name.
"What you don't know him? He has an armada of pirates rumored to be all fruit users. He himself is a Logia of the Mera Mera no mi."
Daniel thought about what he just said. Well it actually makes sense it's impossible that ace was the first one to eat Mera Mera no mi. "Who are the other Yonkou's?"
Cricket just looked at him. "Well we have Whitebeard, next is Dante, Kaido and Big mom."
"How about the Roger Pirates did they ever became Yonkou?"
"Nope that was the scary thing about them, they were always known as a strong crew. But suddenly out of nowhere they swept the competition and conquered the whole sea. All this with Garp, and occasionally Sengoku on their tail."
Daniel just nodded in understanding. All of it making sense. In the anime not much was revealed on what happened on this era. It might be possible that Shanks Conquers this Dante fellow and replace him. Cricket snapped him out of his thoughts.
"Listen kid I gotta go back to building the ship. So just look around and buy whatever it is that you need." Cricket said while walking away.
"Oh right, Thanks don't worry about the promise. Just fix your ship up."
Cricket without looking just waved his hand and got back to fixing his ship.
Daniel looked around to see what they were selling.
After an hour of searching and asking. He was disappointed to know that nobody is selling Katanas.
The most interesting item was a D. Fruit said to be a Zoan version of a White Tiger. Which was being sold at 120,000,000 ฿.
He was about to leave when he noticed a new seller coming inside. He checked the sellers wares to find that there were no swords on his inventory.
But what he did find are small orange size bombs that can be triggered by pushing the colored button on it. Once pressed it triggers a 10 second delay on the bombs before exploding. Daniel immediately bought 30 pieces of the said bomb.
The seller is named Kidama.
Kidama said that he is the only known maker of the bombs. He also mentioned that he's home is in Firework Island Located in the Grand line. He was so happy of the purchase that he gave Daniel his Den Den Mushi Number so that if he needed more he can always deliver them via the GJL system.
Flashback end
-Midnight-
Daniel is now overlooking the Stronghold on a tree higher than the wall. He proceeded to chuck bomb after bomb on the tents. Careful not to hit the Big Blue one on the middle. After a few seconds the first bomb went, a few seconds after that the second continuing until 30 explosions were heard. Everything was in total chaos. The Game just alerted him.

'Yes' Daniel screamed inward. Not only did he get lucky and actually killed off the majority of the crew. He also got a reward for it.
He sees the katana floting in front of him the world frozen once again. It was exactly like what Kenpachi has. He then did what he usually does when checking stats and skills. Instead he checked on his item.

He then got ready. The world in motion once more.
Out of nowhere a Huge blast of blue Energy rushed towards him. Using his new-found flexibility he bent his body backward in an almost straight angle dodging the beam. He then felt the tree falling.
He looked down to see Golass cutting the tree he was on with his Nodachi. He jumped off the three and landed on the ground gracefully.
Golass wasting no time charged at Daniel with an overhead slash.
With his buffed up speed stat Golass was moving quite slow. Daniel tried his power attack.
'Iryoku Ikioi (Power Force)' he muttered inwardly. The technique has finished charging just in time for Golass Sword to hit his attack. Daniels technique hit Golass Sword with so much force that his nodachi went flying backward hitting Golass with the Backside of the blade breaking his nose and sending him flying backwards tumbling along the ground 15 feet away.
Golass by that time is already down for the count.

Once he's done he readied himself. Once the world was moving again. He saw a Blue beam heading his way he jumped quickly to the side avoiding the beam. He glanced around to see the beam destroyed trees on a straight line.
A multitude of Beams fired rapidly towards him.
Using his speed to his advantage he was able to dodge a number of them. One of the beams hit him straight to the chest. The hit was hard but a lot less than what Cricket's Kick feels like. Around him Holes where the Rapid fire Beams riddled the area. Daniel figured the rapid fired ones are weaker than the Large Charged Beams.
'Talk about a Kamehameha rif off' he thought.
Daniel stood ready for more beams to come instead he saw El Drago himself walking slowly towards him 15 feet away.
-With El Drago-
El Drago is not in a good mood. He was there minding his own business lounging on his Gold Nest (a pile of gold).
When suddenly explosions upon explosions rocked the base. Thinking that it might be Cricket he waited until all the explosions are done.
When the explosions have died down. He went out of his Tent only to see all of his men, except Gollass who was charging towards a tree, dead.
He saw that there was somebody crouched on the branches of the tree Golass was charging for. He fired one of his strongest Sound Beams to Obliterate the heathen. Expecting the bastard to be disintegrated. Instead he's surprised to see his target bend his back in a very unusual state.
'What kind of freak is this.' He thought. ( Yup that's comin from a guy who has Solid Gold Armor, Shark like teeth and Solid Gold Claws.)
El Drago waited for his second in command to finish the intruder off.
He was once again surprised when he saw Golass launched rolling in the dirt unconscious.
El Drago is now raging so bad he is turning red. He Charged up a massive Sound beam only to once again be dodged by the enemy.
He then fired his Rapid-shot beams hoping to catch his opponent. He smiled in a sadistic manner when he saw his target hit in the chest. The smile turned into a frown when he saw him just stand his ground as if the hit was nothing. The Pirate Captain Decided that a closer approach may be needed.
He walked slowly towards his opponent to see that it was aTeenager wearing a white shirt , black pants , a pair of black and white sneakers and topped off by a Long Black Coat. The teen has a Very Sharp Looking Sword on his right hand. He addressed the Teenager who singlehandedly defeated his men.
"Are you a Bounty hunter? Why have you waged War against me. Why not join me instead. Together we can all the gold in the world. I'll reward you with all the Gold you need."
Game Alert: Hitchin a ride updated
-Fight El Drago
Or
-Screw over Cricket and Join El Drago's Crew.
Daniel was amused by the choices he just grinned. "Nope I'm just doing a guy a favor and retrieving his Treasure."
El Drago looked at Daniel. " So you are a part of Crickets crew then."
"Nope, just a friend of his. Nothing personal I'm just here to Kick you Ass."
"Then you will Die!" yelled The pirate Captain charging at Daniel in surprisingly great speeds.
Game Alert:
Boss Battle
'Shit how can a big ass guy like him this fast' thought the teenage swordsman. Luckily El Drago may be fast, faster than Cricket by a little bit. But Daniel was still Faster. Daniel using his newly acquired Katana parried Countless number of Rabid stabs of El Drago's Golden Claws.
Seeing an opening he used his fastest strike the Shunkan Kiritateru (Flash Slash). He was able to slash El Drago on an area not protected by his Golden Armour. A somewhat deep gash is now bleeding on The Pirates Torso.
El Drago Surprised by the slash. Jumped back. Once he was a few feet back he Fired Beams at the Swordsman.
Daniel Jump high. He then used his Jumping slash Ryūsei Utsu (Meteor Strike). The strike hit El Dragos Gold protected Armor, Cracking it a bit but not cutting through it. (Yup in my world there is a difference.)
The strike brought El Drago down to one knee. The less powerful wave travelled in a straight line towards a tree cutting it in half.
On one knee El Drago inhaled large amounts of air to charge his Beam and fired away.
Daniel seeing the huge attack just in time to cross his Katana to block the Beam hax from El Drago. With his sword ,pushing the Beam Hax away from his body, he is blown backward the Beam still pushing through. The Force was like 10 Kicks from Cricket all on top of each other. He then thought of something.
Hoping for it work, with his Katana angle as if to charge an attack, he muttered Iryoku Ikioi (Power Force).
The attack actually worked. With the power of his Strong strike the Beam was sent back to El Drago, who is still kneeling on one foot. Being thrown back by Daniels powerful strike, the Beam came back with 3x it's original force + the Force of the strike that blocked it.
El Drago was blasted by his own Beam Hax Destroying trees and punching him through their stronghold wall clean through the other side. El Drago is laid down with his eyes rolled back knocked out by the blow.

Daniel with his body aching all over with the battle. Grimacing he then sighed 'At least Mufasa there made me Level up' thought the teen. He then Proceeded to check on his skills. He grinned and leveled up his Sword style once more. 'Could have used that earlier.'

He then proceeded to collect all the Items inside the Main Tent.
He saw a cart inside the Strong Hold. He loaded it up with the items he got on the Main tent.
He thought that he will just give it all to Cricket just to be safe.
He proceeded to Tie up Gollass and El Drago and placed them on the cart as well. He is gonna cash the two fools. He can already see the 75 million ฿. He then piled the rest of the items to the cart.
While he was doing that he noticed a Nodachi in a brown Scabbard he picked it up and did an item detail check.
Nodachi of Montblanc Noland
+30 to STR
+70 to INT
'Wtf. Why so high in INT?' thought Daniel. The bonus of the sword itself was immense the +70 in INT will certainly make the wielder Super Smart and maybe Cunning.
'Well it's a Nodachi and will not work in conjunction to my skill set. Plus it's probably important to Cricket.' with that thought he wrapped it up with cloth concealing it and placed it on the side of the cart.
He then pushed the cart slowly. The sun just rising up on the horizon. 'Once I cash these two I'm gonna sleep the whole day.'
-Lvneel Town Dock-
3 days Before the Execution in Loguetown.
Repairs on the 'Sea Cricket' is still on going and is scheduled to be finish that afternoon. The crew all focused and a little agitated. Some are inwardly questioning there Captains decision to let an unknown teenager retrieve their Treasure.
All are skeptical and are having doubts that a 18-year-old kid can beat a crew of 105 Pirates and Retrieve their treasure. And even if said teenager does succeed who's to tell that he won't run run off with their treasure.
Cricket is a simple-minded guy but he is not stupid. He admits that his decisions are not always for the best. Being a Pirate Captain at the age of 22 in a crew where some of your subordinates are 2 times older than you is always trying. He may not look it but he clearly noticed the tension within the crew because of his decision.
Well as of the moment he is also having doubts that the Kid will deliver. He sighed he can't for the life of him remember why he actually agreed with the whole thing. Having fought Daniel to a standstill. He is by no means weak. But on the back of his mind he knew that if their fight was not interrupted he would have lost. The Kid still has a day to go. So there's really no point in worrying.
"Captain he's here!" Hobston shouted from the afar.
Cricket squinted and saw Daniel wearing his Trademark Long Black coat. But instead of his usual white shirt he whore a printed red shirt with a Logo of a Black Skull. He also wore Red and white sneaker and not his usual black and white ones. Behind him he was pulling a cart filled with a buckload of bags.
Cricket can only guess what's inside.
-Daniel's Side-
Daniel is happy.
He's currently pulling tons of treasure, bellie and other precious items.
He got everything valuable from the base. He never breaks his promise.
He would like to think that he was cool like that.
You may think at first glance that the buckload of treasure is the thing that got Daniel ecstatic.
Nope it was actually the 80,000,00 ฿ he got when he handed the 2 prisoners he got to the local Marine Outpost.
It turns out Gollass's bounty is actually outdated. His new bounty is 30,000,000 ฿.
The Marines once more paid him the full amount because both of his catch were still alive. The marines were shocked when they asked what happened to the rest of the crew. Well it's not like he's a psycho for killing and all figured shit just happens and it was just his luck that all the other crew members were killed when he rained his bombs.
The Marine Lieutenant all but went down on his knees begging for him to enlist.
Daniel just told the lieutenant what he told the previous one.
He was just passing through.
And with that the original moniker (Sorry Zoro) "Pirate Hunter" was born.
He just merrily pulled his heavy cargo.
Well heavy to someone who does not have an above average strength stat. He went inside the dock.
Dock workers and sailors all gaping at the Teenage boy pulling what looks like tons of cargo.
He noticed that Hobston has already spotted him. The pirate motioned for him to follow. Daniel then heard him yell for Cricket.
Drawing nearer toward their ship he noticed that it had a lot of sails. Clearly a ship built for speed. All of the crew members stopped what they were doing to check on Daniel and the cargo.
He stopped and dropped the front end of the Pull cart eliciting a loud thump from the front of it. A clear testament to the weight of the whole thing.
"What's all of this? The things that they stole cannot be all this." Said Cricket.
Daniel just shrugged. " I didn't actually know which ones to take. I just took them all. Besides it's not like they're gonna need it."
"Why what happened to El Drago's crew?." A random crew member asked.
"Well unfortunately 100 of them got killed. 3 of them I let go and El Drago and Golass I cashed in."
"You mean to say you did that all by your self?" Another crew member asked.
"Yup, I work solo. Hows the ship Cricket?" said the teen.
Cricket looked at the 18-year-old. Clearly the teen has grown stronger overnight. If they fought he knew he will be completely defeated.
"Yes, Thank you for retrieving out treasure and clearly more. Come back after a few hours and we will be all set. We are ahead of schedule."
Daniel nodded. He turned around about to walk then stopped having almost forgotten something. "Oh by the way Cricket." He then checked the side of the cart retrieving a long package covered in cloth. "I found this along with everything else. I thought you might want it." He tossed the Long package to Cricket.
Cricket caught the package from Daniel. He opened it up. And saw something that he has not seen in a very long time. And it's also something that he has only seen in paintings within his family.
Nolands sword.
The same sword that was looted from Nolands home after he was sentenced to death. He looked at the Nodachi still sharp even with 400 years of non usage.
"Thank you again, I am in your debt." He genuinely announced to the Teen.
"Don't worry about it. It's not like I can use it anyway. I'm a strict Katana guy. So if you don't mind I'll just find a shade and sleep.'" With that he turned around and sat in a corner of one of the buildings and sleeped with his White scabbard Katana leaning on his left shoulder.
Cricket just looked at the kid in amusement. 'Such a weird kid.' He then turned around and joined his crew on repairing their ship.
-5 hours Later-
Finally the ship is ready to sail the crew now loading the buttload of treasure and other supplies they needed.
They were surprised that aside from the buttload of treasure 6 Barrels of Wine and Bags of Food are also included.
"Vice Captain Hobston! Where did these come from." said a random crew member pointing at the barrels of wine and bags of meat and other foodstuff.
"I don't know. Let me ask the Captain." He stopped when the sleeping teen answered them.
"No need, I brought those along." He said while he stretched and yawned. "I figured you guys are tired with all the repairs for three days straight that you would need a proper celebration once we are at sea."
The rest of the crew having heard that bit. All yelled in celebration and excitedly carried the rest of the cargo inside the ship.
Cricket hearing his men cheer just shook his head in amusement and Yelled " All right men you heard the lad the faster we get to sailing the faster we celebrating.!" He then ordered everyone about and next thing you know they were all at Sea.
The whole crew Celebrated. There was singing, drinking contests and all types of merry-making.
Cricket smiled looking at his crew he was level above the deck where his crew are busy drinking their guts out.
"You know, one may think that you are Captain." He said jokingly while looking at the deck.
"Pfft I'm cool that way." Daniel said while sitting on a barrel on the deck directly below Cricket.
"I thank you again for the sword."
"Seriously? That's like the umpteenth time you thanked me for that. Come on that what friends are for."
"You do remember that I tried to knock your brains out right?"
"Nah that's all in the past I did cut you a bunch of times so we are all good."
Cricket just looked at forward at the night sky. "So you think the Time of Pirates are coming to an End."
Daniel seeing a Badass foreshadowing moment went in and capitalized.
"No, It's Only just Begun."
