[New World: Wano Country: Kuri]
Currently it was a beautiful day in Wano Country as the cherry blossoms were in season and the beautiful pink petals were flowing through the streets of Kuri much to the excitement of the citizens of Kuri as they admired how their once awful region has become so beautiful when not too long ago it was the home to the worst criminals in all of Wano, led by the infamous Ashura Doji.
But now said former criminal is now one of the Nine Red Scabbards, nine loyal Samurai that serve the Daimyo of Kuri Kozuki Oden, who many consider the current strongest Samurai in all of Wano.
"Did you see the Nine Scabbards?"said a female citizen of Kuri.
"Yes they look so marvelous! But what is up with that blonde haired young man that was following them?"asked the man standing next to her.
"Oh that is there apprentice Jaune Arc."said an old woman confusing the man and woman.
"Apprentice?"asked the man and woman at the same time.
"He is the unofficial 10th member of the Red Scabbards who was been traveling with Lord Oden for as long as that cute dog and cat have been under Oden's service."said the old woman causing the man and woman to let out of sound of realization.
"Yes he somehow ended up far away from his homeland and ended up following Lord Oden along with the others during Lord Oden's travels. the young man is quite strong but it is taking him time to reach the level of the others and that's why he is still not an official member of the Scabbards."said the old woman as she looked up but at Oden Castle on the high hill, where the Diamyo of Kuri and his loyal Samurai were currently residing.
Inside Oden castle a blonde haired young man with blue eyes, wearing a black kimono with the Kozuki family crest printed on the front was currently sweating profusely as he was being trained by a man with a black hair tied in a top knot, he was also wearing a black kimono with the Kozuki crest printed on the front.
"Kin'emon can we please take a break..."said the young man as he felt like his muscles were on fire as he has been training for hours nonstop.
"No Jaune! You are getting stronger day by day and I have no doubt with time you will be the strongest among us but in order for that to happen you need to get stronger which means you have to train alot!"said Kin'emon as he charged towards Jaune with his katana.
Jaune just let out a sigh of frustration as he charged towards Kin'emon with his katana!
Both katanas intercepted one another as both swordsmen swung at one another creating a flash of energy as both men focused Ryuo into their swords. Both men pushed with all of their might trying to overpower the other as their swords started to get coated with black energy but Jaune ended up grunting as a surge of pain overtook him!
"Arghh!"said Jaune as his sword became uncoated with Ryuo which caused Kin'emon to push him back hard!
Jaune ended up flying in the air from the force and soon started rolling through the sand garden into the nearby trees and finally stopped at the castle wall, leaving some cracks from the amount of force the young man delivered to the wall after he was thrown into it.
"Jaune you ended up letting that surge of pain overtake you and that moment of weakness could have gotten you killed on the battlefield protecting Lord Oden!" said Kin'emon as we walked over to Jaune as several other individuals were watching the match decided to join him.
One was a young girl about Jaune's age with beautiful silky black hair wearing a kimono similar to Kin'emon's.
The one next to her look like he was her older brother as they had a similar appearance. He had his hair in a beautiful top knot and for some reason he had red lipstick on his lips. He was also wearing a similar kimono to his sister.
The man next to him was an extremely large obese man with small limbs who had cotton candy like hair with some of its tied in a top knot. Unlike the others he was wearing a pink kimono.
Next to him was a young man with his black hair in a ponytail wearing sunglasses over his eyes, he was wearing a black kimono like the others with the Kozuki family crest on the front and in several other places of the kimono.
"Jaune did you end up getting beat up again?"asked the young woman with a bit of joy in her tone of voice.
"Yes Okiku I ended up getting beat up again. I know it's our duty to protect Lord Oden but does he even need protecting? We all know that he is much stronger than any of us as I sometimes wonder if our Diamyo is some kind of monster."said Jaune as he stood up and popped his neck.
Lord Oden is the strongest Samurai in all of Wano as no one could match his Oden two sword style technique with his Meito swords Ame no Habakiri and Enma. Both of whom fall under the great grade class as they were forged by the master swordsmiths Tenguyama Hitetsu and Shimotsuki Kozaburo respectfully. With his natural inhuman strength that he has honed over the years along with two of the best swords in the whole world did he even need protecting?
"You heard Lord Yasuie that day he gave us all that money for Lord Oden after he captured us trying to steal from him. Lord Oden is meant to be the next Shogun of Wano and as his loyal Samurai we have to be the best and most dignified as we cannot be anything less Jaune and you know that as you were there!"said the young man with the lipstick.
"Haaa...your right Izo, you're absolutely right but it's hard... compared to my homeland the standards for this country are a lot harsher as I doubt even the strongest warriors of my homeland have a chance against any of the Samurai here... especially Lord Oden himself"said Jaune as the young man with sunglasses approached him.
"Jaune you have so much untapped potential yet you're still acting like you were never meant to hold a sword in the first place! You have skill so snap out of that mindset this instant!"said the young man as he hit Jaune in the head hard!
"OW! I'm sorry Denjiro it's just a bad habit I have."said Jaune as he rubbed his head that had a bump where he was hit.
"You really need a confidence boost as one day you going to be the captain since it's clear to us that with enough training you could be the strongest among all of us."said a brown dog like humanoid creature wearing a blue kimono followed by two other unique individuals.
One was a large cat like humanoid with a large bushy yellow and brown tail wearing a green kimono.
The final one was a pudgy fish like humanoid with green skin and long orange hair that was covered by a kasa hat who was wearing a reddish brown kimono.
Jaune recognized them as his fellow members of Lord Oden's group who were not born inside Wano like the others as they were born from far away lands as well. They also joined Lord Oden at the same time so they were quite close with Jaune.
They where his fellow Samurai that were far far away from home Dogstorm, Cat Viper, and Kawamatsu.
"Easy for you to say this since every member of your species is a natural born warrior and it's kind of embarrassing when people younger than you are stronger than you"said Jaune as Dogstorm and Cat Viper were from a species known as the Minks.
All Minks for humanoid animals that are born as natural warriors with the ability to channel electricity through their bodies for attacks that they called Electro. Because of this they were stronger than him even though they were younger than him which certainly was embarrassing for Jaune.
"Jaune you need to stop being such a whiny cry baby or I'm going to claw you."said Cat Viper as Jaune backed a way a little as he knew Cat Viper was not kidding.
Unlike Dogstorm who was reasonable Cat Viper was more brash and violent and highly believed in the policy of attack first ask questions later as Jaune didn't doubt for a second that Cat Viper would claw him and probably electrocute him at the same time with his Electro!
"Now now Cat Viper I'm sure he'll get rid of that bad habit of his eventually."said Kawamatsu as he had a similar habit before he met Oden like the others as he was ashamed of who he was until meeting the man in question.
Jaune just let out a sigh as he knew Kawamatsu had not had an easy life as some people of Wano could be cruel to those that are different from themselves as they treated Kawamatsu and his late mother poorly for being Fishmen, another species that existed in this world that were humanoids with fish like features.
Jaune knew as well that said cruelty against Kawamatsu's race was also the reason his mother ended up dying too soon and leaving him all alone in the world at a young age pretending to be a Kappa until he became a retainer for Lord Oden.
Minks and Fishmen were discriminated against because they were different by ignorant people in many parts of the world but Jaune, his fellow retainers, and especially Lord Oden were nothing like that as Oden himself even saved Dogstorm, Cat Viper, Kawamatsu and Jaune himself from almost being burned alive by such ignorant, cruel people!
Jaune could still recall that day like it was yesterday as he doubted he would ever forget it for the rest of his life.
[Flashback]
Jaune was lying unconscious on the beach of Kuri with Dogstorm and Cat Viper lying next to him. soon all three of them were being poked around by a stick which caused them to wake up from their dirt nap and began looking around wondering where they were.
"What happened?"asked Jaune before noticing the three humanoid animals right in front of him.
"Who are you?"asked Cat Viper who was caught off guard.
"I'd like to ask the same thing?!"countered Jaune before he was poked by the stick again courtesy of Kawamatsu.
"You are all strange."said Kawamatsu not noticing that someone was sneaking behind him.
Jaune did and even though he was not in his best condition he intercepted the attack with his arm, causing him pain before he was struck in the head by another assailant with a large wooden club, knocking him out instantly as he fell to the ground
"OOIII!"said Kawamatsu before he too was knocked out by an assailant who hit him in the head with a stick.
Cat Viper tried to do something but he was knocked out as well, along side Dogstorm who didn't even get a chance to look up before he was hit in the head with a club as well.
Soon several men in kimonos approach the group after they were sure that they were knocked out.
"What the heck are these things?"
"Who cares let's tie them up."
"What about the kid?"
"Tie him up as well as he tried to defend these monsters!"
Soon Jaune, even though he was unconscious he could feel rope being tied around him and was frustrated that he was so helpless as he couldn't do anything since he was unconscious!
...
"Damn! The Land of Wano is the worst!"said Cat Viper with tears as he, Dogstorm, Kawamatsu, and Jaune were tied up to a bunch of wooden poles with a bunch of wood underneath.
"Dammit! Get us down!"said Dogstorm with tears was well as he was struggling to get free.
"I'm a Kappa!"said Kawamatsu with tears as he wanted nothing more than to be let down.
"What did we ever do to you to deserve this!"said Jaune with anger as he couldn't believe that the men were going to actually burn them alive just because they felt like it.
The men that tied them up just started laughed at their useless whining.
"I wish we never set sail!"said Dogstorm as he thought the treatment they were going to receive from the citizens of Wano was going to be much different.
"I wish we didn't come here! Screw that Sworn Ally crap!"yelled Cat Viper as the Minks and citizens of Wano were supposed to be allies.
At least that's what the Duke of Mokomo Dukedom told them in Zou when he showed them the Road Poneglyph.
"A cat monster, a dog monster, a kappa, and some traitor."said the men as they looked at their prisoners with disgust.
"At least let them down their only children!"said Jaune with rage as he couldn't believe these grown men were picking on people who didn't do anything to them let alone children.
"Is this beach cursed?!"
"Let's burn them alive!"
"Wait! At least let them go! For goodness sake they're only children! What the hell is wrong with all of you!"said Jaune as he couldn't believe that these men were such barbarians as to burn children alive!
"Shut up traitor!"said one of the men as they proceeded to throw lit torches on the wood below causing a fire below.
Jaune and the others could feel the heat as Jaune hoped that someone, anyone would stop this madness before he and these innocent children he just met were burned alive!
Luckily for them their savior was closer than they thought.
As not too far away from the shore a large muscular man with long black hair with the top part shaped like a bowl wearing nothing but a lowing cloth was busy fishing.
"Now I have enough ingredients of today's oden."said the man Jaune and the others would know as their savior and Diamyo Kozuki Oden.
Oden quickly noticed what was going on in the beach and was disgusted at what he was seeing as Jaune and the others could feel that the flames were getting closer to them.
Oden even heard the man on the ground laughing at their misfortune which intensified his anger as his eyes turned red.
"You bastards!"said Oden as he threw the giant fish he had just caught at the men!
The vile man meanwhile continued their laughter until they notice the giant fish falling from the sky and it can only panic before it landed on them and knock them out cold. Oden then proceeded to put out the flame before lecturing the evil men for their evil deed.
"Shame on all of you! You fear those who aren't like you because of your ignorance! How could you bully those young ones."said Oden as he pointed to Jaune and the others as they were relieved that someone came to their rescue.
"Thank you..."said Jaune as he was relieved that all of them were still alive as Oden smiled at them before he decided to take his leave...
"See you..."
"Don't leave us like this!"exclaimed all four of them at the same time as they at least wanted Oden to help get them down as they were tied up at least a good ten feet from the ground.
[Flashback End]
'After he eventually let us down we ended up sharing oden with him in this very Castle and then sort of threatened him to let us stay here since we literally had nowhere else to go... that was certainly a memorable day especially when Cat Viper was having a hard time eating the oden since it was too hot.' thought Jaune before he focused his thoughts back into the present.
"Jaune your Ryuo is amazingly strong as you have a lot of it and it's clear you have a lot of untapped potential. Even if the training seems impossible we need to be the strongest Samurai in all of of Wano as we can be nothing less as we are going to be the retainers of the next Shogun!"said the large obese man as Jaune knew better than anyone that he was right.
"I understand Ashura,"said Jaune as he knew Oden had a way of changing people and bringing them over to his side as even the most dangerous criminal in all of Wano Ashura Doji ended up becoming one of his retainers after Oden defeated him and his gang of thugs in a single stormy night.
Jaune heard from his fellow retainers that the site was amazing as Oden sat on top of Ashura as the sun rose from the east, making Oden look even more powerful and majestic. Jaune really wished he could have been there to see it himself.
"Alright back to training!"said Kin'emon as Jaune nodded his head in agreement as they went back to the training field with the others deciding to watch from the sidelines to see how it goes down.
-=O=-
Later that day after the Sun was long replaced by the Moon, on the training field of Oden Castle Jaune was lying in the middle of the field covered in bruises and scratches as he was panting like crazy with a smile on his face as his katana was lying next to him. He look like he was going to pass out at any moment as his muscles felt like they were on fire as they felt like they were ripping and tearing to become even stronger than they were before when they fully healed.
"Aren't you being a little harsh with him Kin'emon."said a man with extremely white skin and long red hair, wearing a similar kimono to Kine,mon, who was sitting next to him
Both man were currently in another part of the castle that overlooked the training field enjoying a cup of green tea with one another.
"I have to be that way as I want him to be the successor of the captain of the Nine Red Scabbards Kanjuro."said Kin'emon as he looked at Jaune, who's top part of his kimono was straight down to his waist, showing off a scar on the right side of his chest alongside his shredded body.
"Well I guess that makes sense since he has so much potential that even Lord Oden says he will probably get to his level one day."said Kanjuro as he looked at Jaune's scar with curiosity.
"I wonder where he got that scar?"He said out loud as he didn't know the full story as Jaune has had that scar ever since they meet.
"I asked him about it in the past but it was clearly a sore subject so I quickly dropped it. Lord Oden is the only one who knows the truth but he has refused to tell anyone out of respect for Jaune's wishes."answered Kin'emon as he took a sip of his tea.
"So how good is his Ryou?"asked Kanjuro who decided to change the subject.
"It's amazing how much he has. Lord Oden even suspects that Jaune possesses the will of the conqueror and I certainly wouldn't be surprised as the amount of Ryou surging through that young man's veins is simply astonishing."said Kin'emon as both senior members of the Scabbards noticed their young apprentice get up from the floor and proceeded to go to the part of the castle where the bath house was.
"I'm sure with time he'll be the greatest retainer under Lord Oden and we will be there to help him unlock that potential."said Kin'emon as Jaune disappeared from sight.
Meanwhile Jaune made it to the bathhouse panting before he proceeded to remove all his clothing before he entered the warm spring bath and slowly but quickly took a dip to ease his sore muscles. Jaune let out a groan of approval as the warm water was already healing him.
"Man the others aren't giving me a break...but at least I can be happy for the first time in my life I'm finally getting proper training from the experts themselves...well technically second proper training of my life."said Jaune as he stared at the Moon from the window of the bath house with a look like he was deep in thought.
"How long has it been since I've somehow ended up in this new world far away from Remnant. It feels like a dream for the first five minutes of every morning before I remember that I'm no longer at Beacon with my friends and team. I hope Pyrrah, Ruby, and the others are doing well as I really hope they discovered that witch's plans before it was too late. Hopefully my sacrifice was not in vain."said Jaune as he touched the scar on the right side of his chest.
"I really hope you guys are all okay..."said Jaune as he continued to stare at the Moon that to this day still kind of confused him as he was used to a Moon that was shattered.
Hey guys PrimusPilus here with the intention of giving his two cents.
I decided to do a One Piece x RWBY crossover starring one of my favorite underdogs Jaune Arc.
Now I know some of you question my mindset when I delete and post stories seemingly at random so I'll take this moment to explain.
My mind has a very active imagination that constantly comes up with new ideas. If I like an idea that my mind comes up with I write it down and post it to see if it works out. If the idea doesn't pan out or if I lose inspiration too soon I end up deleting the story, but not before writing it down and putting it away in my personal notebook in case I ever want to go back to it.
I know it can be frustrating for you all and I'm truly sorry but that's just how my mind works. When it comes to writing I am free like a bald eagle soaring through the sky and I don't allow anyone to change my stories but myself!
I write my stories how I want and I won't compromise my integrity for anyone as that is how many great stories end up becoming big flops! AKA straight out terrible!
I know I can be a difficult writer but I am so glad that all of you, the loyal readers of my stories have stuck around with me for so long! And for that I truly say thank you.
Now next chapter will explain how exactly Jaune Arc ended up in the One Piece world. So if you want to know how he ended up there in the first place you will have to read the next chapter so I suggest you follow the story if you want to get a quick heads up on when is my next update.
But it's all completely up to you!
So until next time have a safe day out there and please stay safe out there!
This is PrimusPilus signing off and hoping to see you all next time as the journey continues!
Have a great day and I will see you all next time!
