"Hey, Johnny what do you think Ed-aniki is doing?" Yosaku asks as they set up a fire, the USS M'DICK anchored near a small rock formation, Edward sitting in a meditative pose, with his sword laid across his lap.
"I don't know, he said something about 'connecting to his Zanpakuto spirit' whatever that means." Johnny says, grilling some meat they found on Kuro's ship.
"Man, I'm glad that Ed-aniki's ship was a-ok, or we'd still be stuck on that island." Yosaku cheers, sharpening his greatsword. The reason they left both Spiel's and Kuro's ships on that island was because they couldn't man it by themselves.
"Yeah, but why did he have to name it 'USS M'DICK'?" Yosaku ponders. Sure, there are weirdly named ships, but none of them, at least to Johnny's knowledge were named after so... risque. "Ugh, if you must know, it's a joke from where I'm from." Edward answers as he exits the Jinzen.
"So, how was your nap?" Johnny asks. "I was meditating, not napping. And it didn't go as I hoped." Edward sighs, looking at his zanpakuto. He'd been trying to connect to his zanpakuto spirit, in order to unlock Shikai, but every time he used Jinzen, he'd just end up in a barren wasteland, with ruined statues of demons blocking his way inside a palace. And did he forget to mention that the sky in there was on fire, cause it was.

"Ah, that sucks, but you know what could cheer you up? Food!" Yosaku says, handing Edward some grilled meat. Edward greedily digs into the meat, letting it fill his stomach, and his HP[+30 HP]. "So, are we still going to visit Baratie?" Johnny asks inbetween bites as he eats.
"Of course. I mean, from the bounty we got from catching Spiel, along with the one I got from catching Ganzack, we could eat 'till we'd be bloated." Edward cheers, before hearing a cannon being shot. "Hey you guys hear that?" Yosaku asks, as the sound of cannonball flying through the air gets louder.
"OH SHIT MOTHER FUCK-" Edward's cursing is cut short as the cannonball impacts the rock formation they're on, sending them flying, with Johnny and Yosaku landing in the water, while Edward gets buried underneath the rubble[-80 HP]. "ED-ANIKI!" Johnny and Yosaku shout, before spotting a ship in the direction of where they think the cannonball came from, with a jolly roger wearing a straw hat painted on the sail, the grin of the skull mocking them.
"C'mon Yosaku we're going to take those bastards down, for Ed-Aniki!" Johnny says, swimming to USS M'DICK. "Yeah!" Yosaku shouts with gusto as they row their boat towards the ship that shot at them. They are going to avenge their fallen comrade, no matter what.
The rubble starts shaking, as Edward crawls out of the pile of rocks. "Fuck... that hurt." Edward groans, wiping off some dust. Looking towards the direction where the cannonball came from, Edward sees a familiar caravel with a goat figure head and a jolly roger wearing a straw hat, a grin full of joy and excitement plastered on the skulls face, the USS M'DICK docked near it.
"Hmm.. I hope that those two didn't hurt Merry too badly, or the straw hats." Edward hopes, flash-stepping towards the ship. Joining the straw hats shouldn't be too hard, all he'd need to do is show them a couple of tricks and Luffy would be begging, well more like ordering him to join. Appearing on top of Merry's head, Edward observes the situation at hand. Johnny and Yosaku are on their knees, sobbing.
Looking at the Straw hats, Edward can see that none of the crew has died to a butterfly effect, infact, the've picked up...another member. WHAT? Edward looks at the new addition to the Straw hat's. She's a girl with purple hair tied with a red ribbon, her face is turned away from where Edward is standing, so he can't tell about that. She's wearing a white T-shirt, black shorts and sandals, a katana strapped to her waist

'What the actual hell?! What the hell is Senna doing here, shouldn't she have have dissappeared when she stopped the worlds from colliding?' Edward ponders, remembering the events of he first Bleach movie.
"We were just eating some meat with Ed-Aniki, when all of a sudden, this ship fired a cannonball at us." Johnny explains, as Usopp's, Luffy's and Senna's faces turn to shock at the thought of actually killing someone.
"W-We're truly sorry for your loss." they bow, apologizing.
"W-We should at least go and find his body to give him a proper burial." Senna suggests, biting back some tears, obviously not used to have people die from something that she'd directly be responsible for. They should also perform a Konso, so that their friend wouldn't turn into a hollow and eat them.
"So, who are we burying?" Edward speaks up, munching on a orange. "You, you dumbass!" Johnny and Yosaku shout, before they realize who they're shouting at.
"Ed-Aniki's ghost!?" They shout in surprise.
"G-GHOST?!" Usopp screams, hiding behind Zoro.
"Calm down long-nose I'm not a ghost." Edward says, walking up to the group as he finishes his orange.
"S-So, you're not here to haunt us for killing you?" Usopp questions.
"Nope. Anyways, I can see that you've already met Johnny and Yosaku, my name is Edward Smith, and I'm a shinigami." Edward introduces himself witha cocky smirk.
"So you're like Senna?" Luffy questions, pointing to Senna, who's looking at Edward with a puzzled expression. Looking at Edward, she could feel his spiritual energy, but there was something else mixed with it, sort of like how Ichigo's soul didn't feel fully shinigami, but Edward's soul felt more like Ichigo's dad's did.
"Oh, nice to see another Shinigami, I thought that I was the only one here." Edward says, stopping himself from grinning like christmas had come early. Since Senna's there, maybe she could teach him that sky-walking techinque that the characters from Bleach could do, maybe even help with unlocking his Shikai.
"Yeah, I was sort of scared when I appeared here at first, but Luffy-san was kind enough to ask me to join his crew." Senna says, smiling as she thinks back to when she met Luffy and his crew. She had appeared on the front porch a small house, on top of a mountain. Thankfully, there had been a soul of a man named Woonan, who told here about the world she had come to.
When she asked if he'd like to be sent to the afterlife, Woonan had declined, saying that he was waiting for a friend. And after waiting for a couple of weeks, that friend of his, a cook had arrived, carrying a meal he cooked, the Straw hats escorting him. After telling him that his friend had perished, a Pirate by the name of El Drago had come for Woonan's famous gold, but had been defeated by Senna,when she used Mirokumaru to blow them away.(1)
"Well, I ended up on island that some Pirate named Ganzack had taken over. The weird thing is, that guy had a big Hollow with him, but didn't get eaten." Edward says, exchanging some information. "Afterwards, I met these guys, they got captured by a guy named Spiel." Edward continues, pointing to Johnny and Yosaku, who are catching up with Zoro.
"Spiel? You mean that water-horse guy?" Luffy speaks up at the mention of Spiel, remembering the guy who tried catching that weird bird for it's blood. "Let me guess, you beat him up." Edward asks rhetorically.
"How did you know?" Luffy asks, in surprise. If Edward hand't seen the anime, he would think that there's no way Luffy could become a feared pirate, not with how dumb Luffy is.
"I can read minds." Apparently Luffy, nor Senna understand sarcasm as their eyes gain a childish gleam. "Really?!" they ask.
"No, I was being sarcastic." Edward answers.
"Ooh, what does that taste like?" Luffy wonders as Edward facepalms. "Look, straw hat, it's not some kind of food. speaking of which, Johnny, Yosaku, catch!" Edward throws the two bounty hunters some oranges, which the catch and eat, their bodies healing along with their HP bars.[+50 HP]
Feeling that he's being stared at Edward turns to face the Straw Hats. "Wow, that was cool, what kind of Devil Fruit did you eat?" Luffy asks, wondering if Edward would join their crew as a portable fridge.
"Look it's not a devil fruit power, it's just something that I, and those who I allow to, can use." Edward explains rather vaguely. Leave them asking for more.
"Well whatever it is, something like that would be useful to any crew with a chef." Nami points out. Someone who could pull objects out of nowhere could be useful for a lot situations. It could be used to hide your valuables in a safe place, keep your food fresh, draw out weapons for a surprise attack or carry objects that you've stolen from some people and don't want your loot weighing you down.
"Well, if it's a chef you're looking for, why not try at Baratie?" Edward asks. Sure, they might not have gotten the information the way they should've but this should work.
"Baratie, you mean 'the restaurant of the seas' Baratie?" Nami asks.
"Yeah, it's only 2-3 days from here, and I heard some rumors that the head chef was a fearsome pirate on the grand line, so he's bound to have some info on that crazy place." Edward clarifies. "And besides, we were heading there, so how about we guide you there?" Edward suggests, earning a suspicious glare from Nami.
"You're a bounty hunter, so why are you helping us?" She questions.
"Heh, none of you guys have a bounty on your heads, so there's no profit in catching any of you." Edward answers.
"So the moment there's a bounty on us, you're going to attack us?" Nami assumes.
"Well, it depends on how high the price is. If it's something like 5 mills, I'm not even going to bother. See, I hunt big fishes like Kuro, Krieg or Arlong." Edward puts extra emphasis on the last name, causing Nami to sub-consciously rub her left arm, right where her tattoo is located.
"If it's alright with all of you, I'll lead the way." Johnny says, eliciting a cheer from Luffy, Usopp and Senna.
'And so it begins... this should be fun Geahahahahaha!' Edward chuckles as they start sailing towards the Ocean restaurant Baratie, only Edward having a clear image of what lies ahead.
So yeah, were any of you guys expecting Senna to appear in this story? Next up I'll update T.o.G, and yeah, it'll probably be longer than this chapter, but it's only because I'm having trouble designing Senna's Bankai, and it's really bothering me.
1: I'll write a Side story, if you guys want me to.
Please leave a Review, they motivate me to write.
