Judy: This one is called Black Night.
Don Krieg smirked. He was in his flagship with his armada of fifty ships behind him. His crew obeyed any order he gave, all 5,000 of them. He gave a hearty laugh that to the crew appeared from nowhere, but they got use to the fact that he laughed when he was excited. And this was excitement enough, sailing on the Grandline to find Gold Rodger's grand treasure, One Piece. His armored reflected the sun and he had the appearance of royalty. Nothing could stop him now.
The sky grew suddenly dark as if a sudden storm was to hit hard and fast. This did not worry him. He lived through hundreds of storms. But something did catch his eye. Some black cloaked figure standing on top of the sea. He stared at it amazed. He laughed it off as if he was seeing things. Again the crew ignored his constant no-reason laughter. He turned to his men only to find the cloaked figure in front of him. Krieg's head spun. He took a step back. This myth… The Grim Reaper stood only a few paces of him.
He snatched off his shoulder shields and combined them. A blade hot out and grabbed his pole and pushed it inside. His Great Battle Spear was ready. He swung down as hard as he could but it seemed to pass right through the figure. When it connected to the ground the explosion was hard enough to knock him back. There was smoke everywhere. When it finally cleared the figure was gone, but now the sky watch pitch black without a cloud in the sky.
He gazed about lost. He was still on the flagship. The other ships were still nearby. The crew was missing. His face reddened. He stared back into the sea and saw the black cloaked figure still standing on top of the water. Krieg delirious with anger he dropped his spear, flipped out his guns and pistols and rained bullets down. The water splash with each hit, yet the figure stayed unmoved. Krieg yelled at the top of his lungs cursing at him for not dying but it did little help.
The figure put his arm out and the sky parted just enough for the light to enter through a little crack. The narrow beam seemed to move towards Krieg's armada. The light moved over one of his ships and in the blink of an eye it was sliced clean through. That beam of light suddenly started targeting each one of his ships destroying each one like it was a hot knife cutting through rows of butter. Krieg spun around as he saw his armada destroyed.
The light turned towards the last ship, the flagship. The very ship Krieg was standing, gawking. His mind snapped. He jumped off the ship in fury and charged the figure. The water surged behind him. Creating a wave nearly two stories tall. It followed him as if it had a mind of it's own. Krieg knew in his head that this reaper would pay for ever messing with Admiral Don Krieg!
He could feel it. His flagship slashed. His heart jumped. He fell to his knees. The wave crashed over him. But before he blacked out he could see the reaper above him. He could see not his face but only a dark eye, an eye that pierced his very essence. For the first time since he could remember he felt fear. An emotion he had long forgotten. It rushed him. And then… The Darkness took him.
He awaked in his bed. His body covered in sweat. His breathing was labored. "Calm down, everything is fine." Krieg spun around. Gin was also in his bed. He screamed.
He awaked again and pulled a dagger and stabbed beside him. Nobody was there. He slumped back into his bed. Drenched in his own sweat he pushed aside the nightmare and focused on something else. Tomorrow he would reach the floating restaurant Baratie. His time would come again…
