Separation

Having enjoyed the nice cold shower I begin to put my clothes on, when I threw on my coat something fell out of its pocket, looking down I see my silver necklace which I promptly pick up, I then placed it to my heart and squeezed

Salazar, please be safe

6 years ago

"Mist or Shadow, don't be Ridiculous, Nothing escapes the Darkness" I say forming a Scythe from shadow

I stand ready to attack the marine as he pulls out a club wrapped in thick cloth, without hesitation I charge the marine swinging and slashing with my Scythe. Unfortunately the Marine continued to block with his club until the cloth wrapped around it was torn to shreds, with the cloth gone the marine started to attack, all his attacks miss except for the one that struck my chest.

I..felt...that

"Surprised aren't ya, Sea Prism Stone. Nullifies all Devil Fruit abilities" the Marine said with a cocky grin

With his next swing he destroys my Shadow Scythe, I then realised that A. I needed a physical weapon and B. I need to get his weapon away from him

"Captain"

Turning my gaze to my ship I see a sword coming towards me, thrown by a crewmember, with a growing smile I grab the sword and point it towrds the Marine

"My name is Eric Von Shadow, You should know I fight with honor." I say as the marine places his weapon against his shoulder

"Captain Flint Rider, and how are you going to fight me with that" Rider said with a cocky smile upon his face

"Like this" I say thrusting my blade into his shoulder

Captain Rider howls in pain as I pull my blade from the marine. Rider looks at me in surprise as he sees the cutlass in my hand was covered in shadow

"Give up Rider, or die" I say readying my blade

"Like Hell" Rider said slamming his club into the deck, cracking it in the process

I was about to charge when I heard more cracking, without a moment's thought I push Salazar on the other side of the crack as it splits off. With Salazar safe I begin to make it across the splitting ship but was stopped by something striking my head, my vision then begins to blur. My son grabs my arm as I fall however my arm slips as I fall into the sea

My eyes start to slowly open as I try to figure out what happened, my eyes widen realizing I'm not on the Shadow Damnation, my gaze immediately goes to my left shoulder. To my everlasting relief it was hidden behind medical wrappings

"Yo..you're finally awake Mr. Von Shadow"

Looking forward I see a doctor with a warm smile. But I didn't trust it

"How do you know me?" I ask preparing to attack

The doctor pointed to a table that had my coat and my Jolly Roger shirt

"You have Nothing to fear Mr. Von Shadow" the doctor said lifting his shirt revealing his a brand mark "I owe you my life for saving both my life and my daughters life"

"Wait I remember you, your Selena's father"

"Then you know why I have no desire to turn you in" Doctor withers said handing me my belongings

"Doctor Withers..."

"Oh my mistake it's Smith now, for safety reasons, you understand"

As I put on my shirt I my mind wonders

"How did I get here?" I ask

"Well they found you on shore line next to a chunk of a marine ship, so they brought you to me" Doctor Smith said clearly hiding something

"How long have I been out?" I ask as I put on my coat

As Doctor Smith hesitated I take notice of a silver trinket which gave me a expression of fear

"Smith...How...Long...Have...I...Been...Here..." I say holding a Silver Necklace

"Eric you need to stay..."

"How Long!" I yell my vision turning red

"You've been comatose for a little over a year" Smith said causing my anger to grow

Without think I run out of the building and away from the people of this island, once at the shoreline I see a marine ship upon the horizon(it's not heading to the island). Without hesitation I forge my bow and pull back the string forming a arrow of shadow

"With this arrow of darkness and shadow, I order the heavens to bring down your sins in murderous downpour" I say aiming my bow upwards

Dark Hailstorm

Releasing the shadow projectile it splits apart into numerous arrows which fell upon the marine ship, hearing their screams on the wind was like a sweet melody to my ears, when the music(screams) stopped I decided to greet the musical group myself

Oh Darkness I Beseech Thee, Release Yourself From Your Prison of Shadow

Falcon

From the sky I see some of marines squirming, with a wicked smile I landed upon the marine ship, my gaze shifts to a living marine with four Shadow Arrows in his legs, walking up to said marine I pick him up by his neck, with a twisted smile I begin to lament

"Just so you know, I didn't wish to do this but I was just told that I've been away from my family for over a year" I say as my free hand turns to a large shadow claw

"So I needed to let of some steam and you people were the closest thing, so now do me a favor...and...DIE..." I say thrusting my shadow claw into his throat

I drop the marine which revealed my claw dripping with his blood, I...I just started laughing...laughing at his weak skin...laughing at

Bang

Looking down I see a small hole in my chest as it starts to reform, turning around I see all the marines that my arrows only hit once or not at all, my twisted smile only grows as my other arm forms a shadow claw. Before any of them could react I charge forward and begin to slaughter the lot of them, killing them in every way possible, dismemberment, decapitation, ripping out their throats, ripping out their still beating hearts, and of course my personal favorite, strangling them with their own intestines. I was having a blast, however a habit of mine reared it head and told my I needed a smoke, reaching in my coat I pull out a pack of cigarettes and my lighter. Placing the cigarette in my mouth I flick the flame of my lighter to life, my eyes widen and my mouth begins to open dropping the cigarette fall out as I stare at the flame, my vision returns to normal as it is no longer clouded with anger and rage.

"Sigh...Well Elaine, once again you have saved my sanity" I say picking up my cigarette promptly lighting it

Gaster...Draven...Salazar..my son..I will find you all, just please survive until then

Sending the silver necklace back into my shadow I step out of the bathroom wearing my trademark shirt, the shirt signifying that I'm the captain of the Shadow Pirates(only Eric wears his Jolly Roger on his shirt), and et to know my companions and inform them of the deal I made with Roronoa
