A.n We own nothing

The Straw Hats opened the gate and walked into the courtyard, inside there was a huge statue standing in the centre of the yard. The statue was of Skull, it depicted him with an arm across his chest and looking triumphantly into the sky and at his feet was a copy of the Captain's shield shattered and broken; this made Jack's blood boil.

"Why does he need such a big statue?" Usopp asked.

"I'll take evil megalomaniac with delusions of grandeur for 500 belies," Jack said.

Just then several flood lights activated and pointed their light at the Straw Hats blinding them for a moment. They heard the sound of dozens of boots storm in and march on the ground when their eyes adjusted to the light they could see they were surrounded by several armed guards all of which had their weapons aimed at the crew.

"Oh goodie double jeopardy," Jack said sarcastically.

They heard the sound of slow clapping coming from above they looked up at a balcony attached to the castle wall, and standing there with a devious smirk was none other than Red Skull.

"It appears we have guests and to what do I owe the honour," Skull mocked.

"I think you know exactly why we're here Johann Schmidt," Jack hissed out which caused Skull to instantly abandon his smirk.

"How do you know that name? Wait you're the messenger it appears you know much about me how is that possible?" Skull asked.

Jack stepped away from the group to get closer which caused the guards to raise their weapons further but Jack ignored them. He had something he needed to say and the look in his eyes actually caused Skull to worry.

"My name is Jackson Alexander Claymore Rogers, I am the eldest son of Captain Steven Grant Rogers, known throughout the world as Captain America," Jack said with a tone of pride that impressed the Straw Hats greatly.

"The Captain lives? Impossible," Skull hissed through clenched teeth.

"He more than lives Skull, he beat you he defeated you and the Nazis; he won the war! And because of him democracy, freedom and peace rings throughout my world like church bells on Christmas morning; you lost Skull," Jack said with a grin as he saw the anger in Skull's eyes.

"HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? THE BOMBER WAS SET TO AUTO PILOT THE ONLY WAY FOR HIM TO STOP IT WAS TO CRASH IT INTO THE OCEAN?" Skull yelled.

"That's exactly what he did. He gave his life to save the world but legends never die, he was frozen by the cold arctic waters. For seventy years my father was thought dead but he was eventually revived. But this is no concern of yours Skull you have much dire worries,"

"And what would that be Herr Claymore?"

"That's Rogers to you Skull! And your greatest concern is me for I have come to complete my father's work. I am here to avenge all that suffered at the hands of the third reich and the men who died fighting to end their evil empire. I swear on the honour of my father Skull you will not live to see sunrise," Jack declared with venom in his voice.

For several moments the two started at each other neither one of them was willing to blink or move the tension could be cut with a knife; Jack's words were true only one would live to see daylight.

"YOU MEAN HE ACTUALLY HAS A RED SKULL?!" Luffy yelled out which caused Jack to hit his palm against his face.

"Luffy I am addressing my father's most hated enemy! CAN WE PLEASE KEEP THIS SERIOUS!?" Jack yelled.

"But you never said he had a Red Skull,"

"What did you think the name implied?"

"I don't know he could have had a bald spot or a bad sunburn,"

Skulls eye twitched at that, 'how dare this boy address him in such away? He will kill him in the most painful way possible and…ARE THEY IGNORING ME!' Skull thought.

"Luffy look at him his entire face is one massive bald spot,"

"So where did the red come from then?"

"I…I don't actually know, dad never said,"

"Maybe he's from a summer Island?" Robin suggested.

"Nah Germanys in Europe if it's not cloudy it's raining," Jack informed.

"ENOUGH OF THIS!" Skull yelled in anger.

The Straw Hats turned there attention back to skull and gave him a board look.

"There is no doubt you are the Captain's son you share his fire his determination his warrior spirit I'd recognize it anywhere. But this will do you no good Herr Claymore, for you are vastly outnumbered," Skull said with an evil smirk.

"You think we're scarred of your goons Skull?" Jack asked.

"I am not referring to my men Herr Claymore, I am talking about your friends," Skull answered as his eyes began to glow yellow.

"What on earth are you talking about?" Jack asked confused.

"All hail the Skull," he heard familiar voices say.

Jack turned around to see that his crewmates had raised their arms in salute to Skull their eyes had turned the same yellow glow and was obvious to Jack what had happened.

"Oh screw my life," Jack said quietly.

"This world has the most amazing things to offer, for instance these teufelsfrucht or Devil Fruits as they call them most extraordinary, it was the first thing I ate upon my arrival here. It was the most disgusting putrid thing I ever devoured but it had the most amazing side-affects do you care to know what they are?" Skull asked mockingly.

"Oh I'm sure I could guess," Jack said, as he took a step back and observed his friends with worry.

"The ability to control men's minds, with this power I will shape this new world in my own image, not even Captain America could stop me. It's a shame you won't be around to see it Herr Claymore. Kill him," Skull said wickedly.

"Yes Lord Skull," the Straw Hats said in unison.

They prepared for battle Zoro tied his bandana and arranged his swords, chopper transformed into his human form, Usopp loaded his sling shot Robin sprouted many arms and the others followed their example as they began to circle the Rider.

"Come on guys can't we talk about this?" Jack asked.

"All who oppose the Skull must perish," Luffy said as he shot out a punch that Jack dodged.

"I guess not, Luffy I'm pretty sure half those words aren't in your vocabulary," Jack said as he blocked a kick from Sanji.

"You will die swine," the cook said as he continued to barrage Jack with kicks that he expertly blocked.

"This is about the whole Nami thing isn't it," Jack said as he delivered his own kick that pushed Sanji back.

He was suddenly caught in a crushing embrace from chopper who began to squeeze the life out of Jack as the Rider struggled against his grip.

"The Skull will crush all who defy him," the doctor said.

"That's...not...you...talking...doc," Jack gasped out before slamming the back of his head into Choppers face causing him to let go.

"Now guys I don't want to hurt you," Jack said as he caught his breath.

"But we want to hurt you," Robin said.

Suddenly several hands grabbed onto Jack's legs holding him in place he turned and saw Usopp aiming his slingshot right at him, Usopp let one of his pellets fly and it struck Jack in the head causing him to fly back and crash on the ground.

He could feel blood trickle down his face before he could get up more arms held him down while the crew piled on top to help keep him down, he struggled against it as he saw Zoro approaching with his sword drawn.

"Let me go!" Jack yelled.

"Now you die Claymore," Zoro said as he grew closer.

"No! No! No!" Jack screamed as Zoro brought his sword down.

Skull smiled wickedly at the display, he had not expected them to be fruit users. His grin turned into a look of shock as he began to see a fiery glow in the center of the pirates suddenly the pirates were all thrown back with a wave of fire. There stood a fiery demon with a white hilted Katanna through his chest.

"Impossible you're a Teufel Reiter?" Skull asked in shock.

"We prefer to be called Ghost Riders" Jack said as he removed the sword from his chest placing it gently on the ground beside him.

Jack knew how important the sword was to Zoro, he had controlled his fiery temperature so the blade would not melt. If Zoro found any damage on it he had no doubt that the swordsman would kill him.

"My men told stories of your kind I thought they were wild survivor stories," Skull said.

"I'm afraid they're quite true as you will soon see, I promised you vengeance Skull and I keep my promises," Jack said with a demonic growl.

"DESTROY THE DEMON!" Skull screamed.

The soldiers and the Straw Hats lunged at Jack. The rider snapped his fingers and six chains sprang up from the ground and wrapped around the Straw Hats restraining them. The captured pirates struggled against the chains but could not brake them.

Jack commanded the chains to pull them towards him and once they were on the ground beside him Jack summed a wall of flames around them. He pushed the flaming inferno out and it engulfed everything in its path.

Trees and shrubs were set ablaze and the poor soldiers surrounding them were forced back against the stone walls where the flames trapped them; preventing them from helping Skull or getting to the Straw Hats.

Red Skull stared at the young Rider as he had effectively destroyed his front lawn and incapacitated his best men with ease. He did note that the pirates were not affected by his attack.

"Right time to take out the trash," Jack growled.

He jumped up and summoned two more chains to his hands, gripping them both tightly he wrapped them around the statues neck and pulled. The statue creaked and gave way; the head came clean off and landed on the ground with a thud. Jack than blasted the rest of the statue with hell fire; melting it down.

When he landed back on the ground he walked over to the head and picked it up with one hand like it weighed nothing.

"Hey Skull, this is a sport my dad taught me," Jack said.

He then drop kicked the head of the statue with such force that flew all the way to the town and landed in the town square.

"That is what we in the good ol' USA call football and what I'm about two do to your head in the next three seconds," Jack mocked.

Red Skull stared in utter shock and horror at what this Ghost Rider had done; he'll take Captain America over him any day. He took two steps backwards and Jack suddenly appeared in front of him. Skulls eyes widened in fear as the rider approached him only one thing went through his mind.

"Oh scheisse," Skull whispered and took a few steps back in a desperate attempt to escape the Rider who was standing in front of him.

"Herr Claymore can't we talk about this?" Skull asked with a nervous smile.

"Oh Skull we are so past the point of talking," Jack said before he wound back and punched Skull in the chin which sent the Nazi flying back into the castle.

Jack entered the building to see that the balcony was attached to Skull's office; Skull was using the desk to help himself up as he wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth.

"It's over Skull, I'm going to use your head as a bowling ball," Jack growled.

"I wouldn't be so sure Claymore, I still what do you Americans say? Have a few tricks up my sleeve," Skull said.

Just then the office door opened and what Jack saw caused his blood to run cold, in walked Nami and Connor both of their eyes were glowing with the same yellow as the others; the shock instantly turned Jack human.

"Nami...Connor," Jack gasped in shock.

"Yes Herr Claymore, I had my men gather up you're remaining friends, they must be very special to you if you kept them away from the fighting. Though I don't see what interest you have in the savage but as for the fräulein she is very attractive, your interest in her is quite clear," Skull said as he ran the back of his hand down Nami's cheek.

Jack's blood went from freezing to boiling over very quickly.

"I'm going to rip that hand off and make you choke on it," Jack said with a growl.

"Your threats are quite useless Herr Claymore, for I have found your Achilles heel. You may subdue the rest of your friends and this beauty, but as you are the Captain's son I highly doubt you will lay a finger on the boy," Skull said wickedly.

"Now savage boy kill your friend," Skull ordered.

"Yes Lord Skull," Connor said obediently as he drew his sword and walked towards Jack.

"Connor…buddy it's me Jack your friend…you got to snap out of it," Jack begged, he really did not want to hurt Connor.

"All who oppose the Skull must be eliminated," Connor said ignoring the Riders pleas.

"It is futile Claymore, he is under my control, but I will spare him and the rest as long as you die by his hand," Skull said with a evil smirk.

"Alright Skull you win," Jack said in defeat.

"Any last words?" Skull asked triumphantly. Connor stopped in front of Jack and prepared to strike on Skulls command.

"Yeah…Connor may I borrow your sword?" Jack asked with his Cheshire grin.

"Sure thing Jack," Connor said, with a smile as he handed his sword to him "Carful it's really sharp,"

"WHAT?!" Skull screamed in surprise.

"Thanks kid did you have any trouble with his goons?" Jack asked taking the blade.

"Nope you were right they bought it and he is an arrogant prick. All he talked about was how he would crush his opponents and all would tremble before him blah blah blah; it was torture just listening to him," Connor said as he turned to face Skull his eyes back to their normal colour.

"Damn it must have worn off… wait how could it wear off…that's never happened before," Skull hissed and his eyes glowed yellow again in an attempted to take control of Connor.

"Boy kill him now," Skull ordered, but Connor made no move to obey the dictator.

"Why would I do that?" Connor asked looking at Skull.

"Is he trying to take over your mind?" Jack asked.

"Yep it's really annoying," Connor claimed.

"What?! How is that possible!?" Skull yelled "No one has ever resisted my control…WHY DOSE THIS NOT WORK!"

"Well Riders can't be controlled and Connor has a little condition that makes him immune to mind control," Jack answered his grin ever present.

"You knew?" Skull asked.

"Of course, allow me to explain," Jack said.

Flashback

Connor followed Jack into the cabin he had a sneaking suspicion he knew what Jack was going to ask, he turned to the Rider as he shut the door.

"You don't want me to come do you?" Connor asked.

"No I need you to stay here," Jack said.

"Jack please I can help you, I know I'm just a kid but I'm a lot stronger than I look," Connor begged.

"I don't doubt it Connor, that's why I need you to stay here this whole mission depends on you," Jack said seriously.

"What?" Connor asked in shock.

"Connor when I delivered that package earlier I saw something in the man's eyes a yellow glow along with that I could see his soul, there is something controlling his actions," Jack answered.

"Glowing yellow…You think this has something to do with Skull?"

"I know it does it's right up his ally to control men in any way he sees fit, the thing is there are no reports of him being able to do such a thing during the war. So that leaves two option one he built some sort of devise that enables mind control over the population or two and this is more likely; he has gotten a hold of a Devil Fruit that gives him the power,"

"So what's the plan?" Connor asked.

"First I need to know can you be controlled by anyone else outside this crew?"

"Not unless they join or Luffy gives me away,"

"And what if a mind control Devil Fruit was used?"

"We've fought someone with hypnotic powers before and they didn't work on me, so I should be okay,"

"Good, Skull is going to send men to the ship, I need you to let them take you and who I leave with you. When Skull uses his power on you use your sight to fool him into believing you're under his control.

Connor I want you to know this is your choice if you don't want to do this I won't force you,"

"Like Luffy said Jack your fight is our fight," Connor said with a smile.

"I knew I could count on you." Jack said as he ruffled his hair.

"When do you think they'll be here?" Connor asked.

"They already are there's two of them hiding in the bushes on shore," Jack answered.

"We better get going I'll have Nami stay with you make sure you fill her in on the plan and...watch out for her," Jack said a bit nervously.

"I will Jack," Connor said with a grin.

"Good man, make it look good we need them to believe it," Jack said as he headed for the door

"Jack...good luck," Connor said.

"You too buddy," Jack said.

End Flashback

Skull stared at the two in complete disbelief his face slowly turned to rage as the realization of what happened set in.

"YOU PLANNED THIS FROM THE START! YOU PLAYED ME!" he yelled

"You bet you Hitler hailing red ass I did," Jack responded confidently.

"It was fairly easy too, you know from what Jack said about you I thought you'd be smarter," Connor mocked.

"If there's one thing playing chess with my uncle Tony has taught me is that when your opponent is a smug pompous arrogant bastard, who thinks they're smarter than everyone else on the planet. The best way to defeat them is to be three steps ahead and make them think they've won,"

"Very good claymore but you forget I still have the girl!" Skull said as he drew his pistol and aimed at Nami's head.

Faster than anyone could blink Jack pulled out Usopps pellet that he had grabbed and infused it with hell fire he then flung it at Skull's pistol causing the weapon to fly out of his hand and land on the floor behind him.

Jack then melted it with his fire, he then shot out a chain that wrapped around Nami and pulled her towards him since she was still under Skull's control she fought to break free but it did no good.

"I might not be as good a shot as Usopp or my uncle Clint but I'm not too shabby myself. Watch her Connor," Jack said as he walked towards Skull.

"So Claymore will you release the demon and strike me down?" Skull asked.

"No Skull unlike you I still have honour, I will face you like my father did, man to man we will battle to the bitter end Skull," Jack said as he pointed his borrowed sword at Skull. "Now fill your hand, and defend yourself,"

"It will be my pleasure to hack you to pieces," Skull said as he walked slowly towards Jack drawing his own rapier.

The two enemies circled each other like jungle cats judging each other's moves carefully waiting for the other to make a fatal error the first move came from Skull, as he slashed at Jack but the Rider blocked his attack the two traded blows as they taunted each other.

"How much do you know of Devil Fruit users?" Skull asked as he swiped at Jack.

"Enough I live with three of them," Jack returned as he dealt his own attack that was blocked.

"Then you should know that water is quite hazardous to us, I myself have quite the lovely assortment of bath medians to assist me. I however am looking for a replacement as the last one could not hold up to the shall we say pressures; that fräulein of yours is very lovely I'm sure she would be more resilient," Skull said with an evil smile.

This shocked Jack enough for Skull to deliver a thrust into his shoulder Skull twisted his blade but Jack held back his cries of pain before he kicked Skull away. Though he was bleeding profusely Jack composed himself and refused to show any signs of pain.

"Why doesn't it surprise me that the only way a woman would come near you while you're naked is if they're under mind control?" Jack said with his Cheshire grin.

This sent Skull into a blind rage in his furry he was unable to dodge Jack's slice to his side which instantly caused him to feel weak for some reason, the serum in his veins kept him standing. But Skulls eyes widened as he felt the control he'd placed on the Island instantly fade.

"That was for the millions in the camps" Jack said.

Skull stumbled back in shock and then he noticed Nami stop struggling, her eyes went back to their normal colour and she looked around in confusion.

"Connor? What happened? Why am I tied up?" Nami asked but then spotted Jack facing Skull in combat.

She was about to say something before Skull returned to his assault he slashed and stabbed against Jack but the rider blocked and parried each blow he then delivered a deep cut to Skull's neck.

"That was for the millions of men who died trying to stop you," Jack yelled.

Skull could feel the blood loss and weakness starting to affect him in his delirious state he sent a blind stab at Jack which the Rider easily sidestepped he then brought his sword down on Skull's hand severing it from his arm

"How is this possible? Why does that blade make me weak with each strike? Why did my control fade?" Skull asked.

Connor smirked.

"That was for my crew," Jack said he then thrust his sword through Skull's sternum.

"And this is for my father," Jack whispered into Skull's ear before pulling out his sword and letting Skull fall to his knees Jack stood over him and looked down at the monster before him.

"Johann Schmidt I Jackson Alexander Claymore Rogers has found you guilty of crimes against humanity and here by sentence you to death; do you have any last words?" Jack asked.

"I'll see you in hell Rogers," Skull responded.

"I'm looking forward to it," Jack said.

He then brought his sword down on Skull's neck ending him once and for. He walked back over to Connor and handed him his sword back.

"Thanks that is a really sharp blade," Jack said.

"I told you, it's great against Devil Fruit users and from Skulls reaction he never knew about Sea Stone," Connor said wiping the blood off and sheathing his blade.

"Jack you're bleeding," Nami said worriedly.

"I seem to be doing that a lot lately," Jack said as he snapped his fingers releasing her and the other Straw Hats.

"But you won,"

"Yes. Yes I did," he said as he drew closer to her.

"Are you ok?" Nami said as she slightly blushed by his closeness.

"No," he answered before collapsing on her.

"Ugh why do you always end up bleeding on me?!" she asked.

"Sorry Nami I just can't help falling for you," Jack said with a slight chuckle.

As soon as Jack lost consciousness form blood loss the rest of the Straw Hat crew charged in from the balcony.

"SKULLLLLLL!" Luffy yelled out.

"Uhh Luffy I think we missed the party," Zoro said and took in the scene.

"Oh it's over...WHAT THE HELL IS CONNOR DOING HERE?" Luffy yelled out once he noticed the boy.

"NAMI-SWAN!" Sanji yelled out and ran over to Nami.

"Oh Sanji perfect timing here take Jack," Nami ordered and handed the unconscious Rider off to Sanji "Chopper a little help,"

Chopper ran over and examined Jack he quickly began bandaging Jacks injuries. Connor explained to the rest of the crew what happened. Jacks plan to use his sword, the fight with Skull and his victory. The Straw Hats were a tad annoyed that Jack didn't inform them of his plan and Zoro made comments on how shit Jacks sword skill had been.

"How would you know about his sword skills?" Usopp commented.

"Simple the injuries, if he was a halfway decent swordsman than he would not be bleeding so much," Zoro said

"What about all the times you come back severely injured from battle?" Sanji asked "does that mean you're not a decent swordsman as well?"

"Heh this coming from a third rate cook who's jealous of a 18 year old,"

"That's it you're dead Moss head," Sanji yelled and threw Jacks body on the ground, much to Choppers annoyance.

The two began another fight between themselves which was stopped by Nami smacking them both.

"WHY THE HELL ARE YOU TWO FIGHTING? YOU SHOULD BE TEARING THIS CASTLE APART LOOKING FOR SKULLS TREASUERE," Nami screamed at them.

Usopp sighed yep Nami was back. The Straw Hats began to leave the room however something caught Connors eye he ran over to the emblem Jack had painted earlier in the day and picked it up.

"Jack will want this back," Connor said to himself. Connor then ran up to one of the curtains and sliced a potion off it; running back to the desk he grabbed what looked like a giant bunch of purple grapes and wrapped them in the torn cloth. He then ran out to catch up with the rest of the crew.

Once the crew had liberated Skulls vast treasure room, and Nami was satisfied they made their way back to the ship. While walking through town they noticed people with confused looks, like they had just woken up from a dream. Connor asked the others if they remembered being controlled but none of them did.

"Last thing I remember was those men kidnaping you and me," Nami said.

"I remember Jack talking to Skull and then we're all tied up with his chains," Usopp said. Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Chopper and Robin agreed with him.

"Hey why did Skulls power not work on you?" Sanji asked looking down at Connor.

"Because of my brand. I felt him in my mind when he tried to take over but all I got from him was a wave of dizziness. The kind you get from standing up to fast, I just played along and he didn't even notice. Plus everyone brainwashed had glowing yellow eyes so it was pretty easy to fool him,"

"That sight of yours sure comes in handy,"

"Yeah got a slight headache while I was using it though,"

"A headache?" Chopper asked concerned "Has that happened before?"

"No, I thought it might have been from over using my sight but I've had it active for longer than an hour before with no negative effects,"

"That's weird dose it hurt if you use it now?" Chopper asked.

Connor activated his sight and the moment he did he reached for his head. it felt like a massive Migraine was pounding against his Skull, his eyes went back to normal.

"Ahhh, that hurt...why the hell dose that hurt?" Connor asked.

"I'm going to need to examine your eyes when we get back," Chopper said "And until I do no more using your second sight,"

"But what about Strange?" Connor asked.

"You can sense him when he shows up; you can only see him when using your sight right?" Robin asked.

"Yes," Connor answered.

"Next time he shows up I'll have an explanation written up on why you will no longer be using your sight," Robin said.

"Okay, I have no clue how Jacks parents will take the news though. Could you also inform them of Skulls demises at Jacks hand?" Connor added.

"Oh yes most defiantly...let's not mention the mind controlling powers though, wouldn't want them to worry too much," Robin agreed.

Going Merry

Jack woke up in the cabin on the merry Chopper was standing over him observing his vitals which was pretty much pointless as he was already dead

"Good you're awake," chopper said.

"Yep sorry for having to have you patch me back up again doc," Jack said as he sat up.

"That's my job how you feeling?" he asked

"I'll live...well sorta," Jack said as he got out of bed Just then Luffy walked in.

"Jack you're awake why didn't you tell us your plan?" Luffy asked annoyed.

"I'm sorry Luffy, but I had no idea how Skull's powers would work for all I'd known he could read minds, and then we'd all be screwed Connor was my ace in the hole," Jack said.

"Huh that's pretty smart, you sure you're not a genius?" Luffy said.

"Positive just have really good teachers, so what happened after I passed out?" Jack asked.

"The usual chopper fixed you up, Sanji and Zoro fought and Nami took Skull's treasure," Luffy answered.

"SHE DID WHAT?!" Jack yelled.

"Jack what's wrong?" chopper asked.

"Where is she?! Where is she?!" Jack yelled as he shook Luffy violently.

"In...the...treasure...room" Luffy answered while being shaken.

Jack then stormed out of the cabin with Luffy and chopper the rest of the crew that was on deck saw him and noticed the very serious look on his face.

"Hey bone-head what's wrong?" Zoro asked but Jack ignored him as he made his way to the treasure room.

When he arrived he almost ripped the door off the hinges when he burst through it to find Nami taking inventory of a huge collection of paintings and valuables many of which looked to be religious in nature; Jack just stared at it with horror written all over his face.

"Jack you're up what are you doing here?" Nami asked.

"Is this it?" Jack asked.

"What?"

"Is this it is this Skull's treasure?" Jack asked his voice shaking.

"Yes this is all of it," why Nami answered with belli signs in her eyes.

"No no nonnononono," Jack started murmuring.

"Jack what's wrong?" Luffy asked as he walked in.

"Luffy we can't keep this we have to give it back to the people on this island so they can return it to where it belongs," Jack stated.

"WHAT?! NO WAY!" Nami shouted.

"Nami you don't understand besides the genocide and atrocities that the Nazis committed they also stole from the millions they destroyed to fuel their greed. We can't keep this, it's cursed I can feel the innocent blood that was spilt on it; we have to give it back," Jack explained.

"Do you know how much this stuff is worth?" Nami asked seriously.

"I'll pay you back,"

"There's over 100,000,000 berries here you're going to take on that debt?" she asked.

"Yes all of it; just please give it back," Jack begged.

"Ok Jack we'll give it back, but the debts on you now," Nami said which caused Jack to visibly grow calmer.

"Thank you Nami, you have no idea what this means," Jack said as he gave her a hug causing the navigator to blush.

Unfortunately Sanji chose that moment to walk in.

"Let go of her!" Sanji yelled as he kicked Jack in the head.

Jack fell face first into the treasure pile, and landed with a crash. He got back up and looked at the angry cook.

"Sanji what the hell, I'm injured," Jack yelled back.

"HOW DARE YOU TOUCH MY NAMI-SWAN! NOT ONLY DO YOU BLEED ON HER BUT ALSO SHE...SHE..."Sanji yelled only to be stopped by Nami.

"Sanji Jack is injured you can't go kicking him in the head," Nami scolded the cook and helped Jack up; she looked over where Sanji had kicked him.

"Oh that looks nasty, do you want me to kiss it better?" she asked in a sweet voice.

"WHAATTTTTTT!" Sanji yelled and flames surrounded him.

Jack stared at Sanji in fear, he knew what Nami was doing and quite frankly he did not want to be in the same room as her.

"No no...I'm good...I'll just...BYE!" Jack said and ran out of the room.

"GET BACK HERE CALYMORE!" Sanji yelled and ran after him.

Luffy watched them both leave and laughed Nami began to re-pack up the treasure. On deck Zoro and Usopp watched as a very angry Sanji chased Jack around the deck. In the Cabin Chopper was giving Connor his eye exam and the two were wondering what was going on up there.

"That sounds like Jack why is he running around?" Chopper asked.

"Who knows," Connor answered.

A few minutes later Jack came back into the cabin and collapsed on the bed exhausted.

"Jack you okay?" Connor asked.

"Yeah...who knew Sanji could run so fast," Jack answered, he noticed what Chopper was doing "Hey doc is Connor okay?"

"He's fine; I'm just doing a quick eye exam,"

"Eye exam what for?"

"When I was using my second sight to fool Skull I got a slight headache. After I told Chopper and used it again it turned into a full blown migraine," Connor explained.

"Has that ever happened before?" Jack asked concerned.

"No never," Connor answered.

"Okay I'm done," Chopper said and put his instruments away "I can't see anything out of the ordinary so maybe it's because you've been using it a lot lately,"

"So should I try again?" Connor wondered.

"No I don't think that's a good idea, from now on no more second sight," Chopper said.

"WHAT?!" Jack yelled out in shock "but what about..."

"Jack I have no idea what I'm dealing with, medically speaking Connors eyes are fine there is no reason for him to feel any pain when using his ability,"

"Then why is he?"

"I don't know, I've never come across his ability before. If his sight was from a Devil Fruit I wouldn't be worried but it's not. Maybe prolonged use causes server eye strain or brain damage. Maybe these are the first signs in something that could be seriously wrong," Chopper explained "I'm sorry Jack I know you need his sight to talk to strange but until I know what's causing this or the headaches stop Connor is not a loud to use his sight,"

Jack sighed sadly and lay back down on the bed, how was he to tell his dad that he had beat Red Skull now.

Connor approached the rider "I'm sorry Jack," Connor said looking down in shame.

"It's not your fault," Jack reassured.

"But it is, if I only knew more about my ability..."

"Then you would still be in this situation. I'm the reason you've been using it every day, if anyone's to blame it's me,"

Connor looked at the rider, he could understand his feelings, and he remembered the small shield he picked up.

"Hey Jack I grabbed a few things for you after you passed out," Connor said trying to cheer Jack up.

This peaked Jacks interest, what could Connor have possibly got him. He watched the boy grab a small bundle off the desk.

"Oh yeah, what'd you get?" Jack asked he was generally curios.

"Well first there's this, I figure your dad might like it," Connor said as he reached into his pocket and pulled out the painted red white and blue Skull emblem.

Jack took the emblem and chuckled "Thanks kid, I think he'd like it too,"

"Oh and I got you this too," Connor said as he undid the bundle revealing a very large bunch of purple grapes, the grapes had a swirly patterns on them and the top of the bunch's stalk was curled.

"What is that, some kind of rare fruit?" Jack asked; he'd never seen a fruit like it before.

"Yup it's a Devil Fruit; to be more accurate it's Skulls Devil Fruit,"

Jacks eyes widened as he stared at the fruit in front of him.

"How? I thought there was only one of each kind?" Jack said in shock.

"That's right but when a fruit user dies the power that they had gets reborn into another fruit. When you killed Skull his mind control powers got reborn into a brand new Devil fruit," Connor explained.

"So if I eat this then I could control people,"

"That's right, but at the cost of your ability to swim,"

"Why did you take it?"

"I figured you didn't want that power to fall into the wrong hands," Connor shrugged.

Jack looked at the Devil Fruit he could feel the power coming off the fruit, there was a spirit to it. This fruit was alive but he knew what he had to do.

"No man should have the ability to control another human being," Jack said as he riderized "I'm going to roast this cursed thing"

"Jack if you destroy it, the power will just transfer to another fruit," Chopper warned.

"Maybe doc but I can feel the spirit in this thing, the one thing about hell fire is that it doesn't just burns physical things it also burns souls and spirits. I've killed many demons and ghosts using it,"

"You think it'll work Jack?" Connor asked.

"I hope so but just in case could you please bring be another fruit from the kitchen? I would but Sanji is already trying to kill me,"

Connor left to find a fruit a few minutes later he returned with a rather large watermelon.

"Connor why did you get something so big?" Jack asked looking at the fruit.

"I figure it would be harder to lose, also I think you're in trouble Jack Sanji was stabbing a doll that looked a lot like you with needles," Connor said,

"Please without a witch around Voodoo is useless,"

"It probably wasn't a smart idea to anger the guy who makes your food Jack" Chopper said.

"Yeah I'll deal with it later, but let's take care of this first,"

"What are you going to do if this doesn't work?" Connor asked

"I'll melt metal around it and throw it in the ocean," Jack answered.

He then set the fruit on fire it burned a strange purple color, Jack could feel the spirit of it slowly die. Once the whole thing turned to ash and crumbled in his hands, they watched the melon with batted breath for several minutes they watched but nothing happened.

"That's it everything the Skull was and has done is gone. May he burn in hell," Jack said as he turned human.

Connor suddenly turned to look towards the door but his eyes didn't change.

"I think Strange is outside," he said.

The three pirates left the cabin and went onto the deck. Robin had the chalkboard she wrote down everything that happened with Skull and about Connors problem with his sight and asked Strange not to tell his parents that conversations would be strained for a time.

"He's gone Jack you think he'll tell your parents about my sight?" Connor asked.

"He'll sing like a canary," Jack claimed.

Avengers Tower, New York

The Avengers and Winchesters waited for strange to come back with news of Jack's battle with Skull; Strange walked into the meeting room.

"Well?" Steve asked anxiously.

"The Skull is dead, Jack dealt him his fate," Strange said with a smile.

"You're damn right he did, Jack kicked his Nazi ass Sam pop the bubbly Tony let it loose," Dean said.

At that Sam popped the cork on a bottle of champagne while Tony pressed a button on a devise that caused several confetti cannons to go off followed by a disco ball to come out of the ceiling along with a banner that read ding dong the Skull is dead; dubstep music began to play.

"Captain, Natasha may I speak privately with you for a moment," Stephen asked seriously.

The two Avengers followed the Sorcerer out into the hall where he turned to them with a grave look on his face.

"What's wrong Stephen?" Steve asked.

"I'm afraid something is wrong with the boy that translates for Jack his sight is causing him pain and the ship's doctor has ordered him not to use it. I cannot communicate with Jack," Stephen said.

"I changed my mind the reindeer dies," Natasha said with a scowl on her face.

"Honey, we can't risk the boy's health," Steve said.

"There is good news he still seems to be able to sense when I arrive so Jack will still be able to give me updates," Stephen said.

"See it'll be alright now let's get back to the party," Steve suggested.

The three re-entered the room where they were given glasses of champagne, Thor had his glass raised in a toast.

"To Jack our beloved nephew son and friend, may all his battles be victorious!" Thor bellowed.

"And may whatever dirt bag, scum ball, asshole he finds in that world piss themselves at the mere idea of his name," Dean added.

"To Jack may we one day bring him home safe," Steve added a bit more serious.

"I can drink to that," Tony said as they clang their glasses in cheers to the Rider.

"So Cap you paid a visit to Treasure Island, did you see that girl Jacks been running around with?" Dean asked.

"Yes Dean I did, that boy has the same taste in redheads like his old man," Steve answered as he placed a kiss on his wife's cheek.

"So she's hot?" Dean asked.

"She was rather attractive yes"

"Thata boy, told you those lessons would pay off Stark," Dean said and took a swig of his champagne.

"What lessons?" Widow suddenly asked dangerously.

This caused the party to stop suddenly as Natasha glared at Tony and Dean.

"Uh well…we…uh…might have taught Jack how to…to pick up girls," Tony said in terror.

"What exactly did you teach him?" Widow asked as she started to walk towards them.

"Guys a little help," Dean said.

But everyone in the room but him and Tony had mysteriously vanished rather quickly.

"COWARDS!" Tony yelled out the door.

"DAMN STRAIGHT!" they yelled back.
