Clearing up some minor confusion cause some people did not read the notes at the beginnings or ends of ch 11-11.5, but after some comments I had decided to change 23's gender to a male earlier on for Adam's crew due the canon characters included in it being pretty much all female since Oda be loving making tragic or more emotional backstories for them that I want to fix, plus they do mix well with Adam's dreams.

Two should be really obvious because of reasons, but I will say that this ain't going to a harem member filled ship. Still going on 2-3 at most right right now and that's with 9 crew members planned.

Stuff may change in the future, but that it what it is.

Also, I'm trying not to keep everything exactly the same, making reasonable changes based on what Adam actually influences. This means that some things will be different but not massively so because he has been rather isolated from the world at large.

Adam mainly impacted Fish-Man Island (Obviously), making it stronger overall even if somewhat more clearly divided between the Kingdom and District. This resulted in Kaidou and Big Mom valuing it more as a source of combatants and whatnot while the Government is wearier of them since they very well know how oppressed fish-men and Merfolk have been and they could retaliate, an attitude which hasn't exactly improved with Fisher Tiger's attack and founding of the Sun Pirates.

He did make some waves in the Whitebeard Pirates. Mainly his and the girl's presences helping make some members stronger and more motivated to keep up like Marco, Vista, Jozu and even Whitebeard got to keep his edge sharper from being able to constantly beat up someone. Understandably, this also put Adam and his crew on Blackbeard's radar, but the man doesn't have a clear picture of his strength or abilities because he's always with the 1st while Teach is with the 4th.

It's these kinds of things.

His presence didn't suddenly derail the world.

His influence of the world is basically that Pirates now fear and respect the strength of the Ryugu Kingdom/District a lot more in general.

Anyway, that's all for my pre-chapter notes and heads up, hope you enjoy :)

Haunt 12: Leaving the Shadows

-2 years after the Paradise Island Raid (11 years before Luffy Sails)

"'Pirate Empress' Boa Hancock becomes Warlord huh." A very tall youth lazily read his newspaper as he sat under a tree.

In fact, it was one of the only remaining trees on the island after the fight he just had, the rest having been burnt or blown away over the course of it, so it was the best place to do it.

Although difficult to tell due to his leaning position, the youth was rather tall as his height continued to climb during his puberty, hitting 9'5"(2.87m), with a perfectly sculpted body packed to an insane degree with muscles thanks to his mastery over his body, but somewhat hidden beneath his tanned skin as his shirtless state could drive quick a few women crazy. Decorating his figure were three tattoos on his upper back representing important sources of his strength: a proud lion's head with a mane formed of spines, the Kozuki family symbol and the Whitebeard Pirate Jolly Roger, all resting above where his own will rest once it forms. But more visually striking, there was also a large scar over his left shoulder and a smaller crescent one near the corner of his smiling mouth, forming a crescent moon as his icy blue eyes sparkled with excitement.

Because to his count, this meant that with her, alongside Hawkeye Mihawk, Crocodile and Gecko Moria, it meant four of the 'known' Warlords had taken their seats.

Moria, after his crushing defeat against Kaidou so he could lick his wounds and foolishly plan to use corpses to try and take his revenge. Honestly, the man faces overwhelming force and his answer was numbers and one supersized giant. Sure they might not be affected by Conquerors, but if he thought that could beat the Strongest Creature, then Kaidou really didn't take him seriously or Moria would know numbers would do nothing against the man.

Crocodile, after that impossibly one-sided fight he had against Whitebeard, which Adam had witnessed and actually helped Marco in fixing the aftermath. The man somewhat impressed as he did have quite a bit of strength and actually displayed some decent Haki, actually being around the level of upper class division commander. What did confuse Adam was that this meant he was holding back against Luffy, but that would have been stupid when he was facing the loss of over 10 years of work, or Whitebeard actually managed to heavily impact his spirit and his defeat at Luffy's hands somehow snapped him out of it.

And Mihawk was mostly the government trying to point the man away from marines and onto pirates for his hunt for strong challengers. The greatest swordsman had actually been dubbed 'Marine Hunter' mostly because Marines tended to gain strength outside of devil fruits in most ranks beyond Admiral, which is almost dominated by devil fruit users and the only known exception during the last few decades had been 'Black Arm' Zephyr before his 'retirement'. As a result, statistically, Marines just had a higher number of concentrated sword users and high chances at obtaining Famed blades.

The last one made Whitebeard chuckle a lot.

Currently, there were actually two more vacancies in the Warlord seats, hence why Hancock had been able to gain one so quick, even if her raid had been quite impressive and she did have the backing of a country filled with warriors.

She burnt down Chadpia Island and took an entire island's worth of treasure and ressources for her own after all.

It was likely why Jinbe and Doflamingo joined so easily as well. Although Adam was certain the latter would just off a warlord if needed for his plans.

Those three seats had opened up after some warlords mocked Moria for basically being turned into a bitch by Kaidou and the former tricking them into proving they were any better in exchange for him joining the crew of anyone who succeeded.

Obviously, they never returned and were then presumed dead.

There is still some debate over if Kaidou killed, imprisoned or recruited them, but it mattered little to the government as they needed to fill the seats after 4 months without any form of contact.

"Whatchu reading about there?" A laidback voice asked from behind Adam as Marco hobbled over.

Ironically enough, the Phoenix-man actually had singed hair and some burnt bruises visible on his body and face, even if he was healing quickly due to the lack of conquerors Haki hindering the process.

"New warlord." Adam answered as he passed the paper over. "Apparently she's just a bit older than me and the Empress of Amazon Lily."

"*Impressed Whistle* Not bad. Another little monster rising up in the world." The pineapple headed man commented before a teasing grin appeared on his face. "I wonder how Bel and Mor-chan would feel if they saw you reading about 'the most beautiful woman in the world' though?"

"And once again, your perverted nature comes through. How admirable o' great closet pervert." Was the 'admiring' retort as Marco faulted.

"I'M NOT A DAMN PERVERT YOU BRAT!!" He defensively roared as his blonde tuff erupted in flames.

"Says the man perving out on the picture of a teenager." Adam singsonged as he really liked messing with the usually cool and collected man.

"Just because I can't beat your ass anymore, doesn't mean I don't have anyway to make your life miserable!" Marco glared as sinister thoughts regarding Adam's status as an apprentice filled his mind, causing him to chuckle menacingly.

And while it was true that Marco did far surpass him in the chain of command, it was also true that Adam had surpassed the man as a combatant after mastering how to Flow his Haki and then gaining a very good grasp over how to imbue his Conquerors into it, now just needing time, some more fights and training to combine it with his devil fruit powers while growing older to get more out of it all. This made him one of the strongest unknowns in the world at the moment, as only Whitebeard actually knew of Adam's triumph over the Phoenix fruit wielder.

In fact, the main reason the two were training on this deserted island not too far from Sphinx Island was because Adam wanted to develop his ghostly flames, so fighting against Marco was literally the best option for him right now. Especially with how his flames representing life were diametrically opposed to Adam's ghostly blaze representing death, causing a suppressive effect on the weaker flame.

Now, Adam obviously hadn't managed to overcome the man in his main elemental ability, but he had made enormous progress as it aided him in forming area of attack techniques while being very good training for his ecto energy manipulation. An interesting side effect was that his hair became semi-fire while in ghost form, somewhat reminiscent of Amber from Danny Phantom, after gaining significant mastery of his ghostly flames.

"Well, I would feel worried about that if we weren't leaving soon." Adam sighed as he leaned back against his tree, causing any sort of heated emotions to instantly cool in Marco.

"You know that you don't have to right?" He softly said. "Pops has basically been trying to get you to take command of the 2nd division for over a year and everyone already sees you and your crew as family."

"*Sigh* I know and I'm really thankful for that and everything Gramps and you guys have done for us, but-" "Your dream is elsewhere." Marco finished with a knowing smile, even if he had to try.

Adam simply nodded as the two looked out at the calm sea.

"If the crew or Gramps ever needs me, I'll be there, but until then..." The teen looked like he was gazing beyond the horizon. "I'll sail the seas and see all that this crazy world of ours has to offer.

No Pirates, Marines, Royals, 'Gods', Seas, Heavens or Hells are going to stop me."

"Wouldn't that make you someone aiming to be Pirate King?" Marco questioned curiously as he just thought about it. "I mean, Laugh Tale is part of everything in these seas."

"Maybe, but I don't really care about that or treasure. Just being able to sail on my ship, with my crew, enjoying the world." Adam gently answered with a dreamy smile. "That's all I ever needed."

"You know? I think that's a fine dream to have. One any sailor, no matter under which flag they sail, should respect." The older of the two nodded. "Where are you going to start?"

"Wano." Was the instant answer. "My father left me a book on everything he could before setting sail with the Roger Pirates, and after spending the first part of my life in my motherland, I want to see my fatherland before I set sail. Understand my origin before fully moving towards my future."

"You know the Beast Pirates have been centered in those parts for a good while now, right?" Marco questioned with a small frown as he and Pops really didn't like what that might mean.

They knew Wano was damn near impossible to invade due to its natural defenses alone, but they still worried. This was Kaidou after all, and they knew the man was persistant if nothing else.

"Yeah, that's also part of why I have to go there." Adam admitted. "They would destroy the country if they got their hands on it, and no matter how strong my father is, he isn't at Pops', Big Mom's or Kaidou's levels, and I doubt Wano had the forces to push back the entirety of a crew at that level.

So I'm kind of worried about my half-siblings and Toki-san."

"Let us know if you need any help. They were part of our crew after all." The man seriously offered, earning an appreciative nod.

After they continued to watch the horizon until the sun set while recovering their respective energies from this training, they finally decided to return back to base once rested enough.

Sphinx islands was having its tribute season after all, interestingly being something like a regular ceasefire between the three major crews of the New World as the Big Mom and Beast Pirates also hold their gatherings at this time, forming a peaceful period which none dared interrupt for fear of bringing down the wrath of all three rulers of these seas down on them. Not even the Marines and World Government dared make any moves due to this.

Adam was excited because it had been a while since he'd seen is own crew members. Even Logan had been thrown to Jozu's division by Whitebeard once he'd been educated to human levels by Adam. The old man found the diamond one to be the perfect man for the rough and tumble boy to grow under, which wasn't wrong as his approach to most battles involved using his natural and devil fruit enhanced durability and regenerative properties to tank most damage while fighting wildly, so the 3rd led by one of the toughest 'tank-style' combatants in the world was really an ideal place for the wild child to be refined.

Sure they met up regularly enough as most divisions came to the 1st on a shift basis, with two additional divisions usually being along to form a force directly under Whitebeard in case they needed to repel a large scale attach on their territory, but it was still nice to soon be with them again.

After all, Adam saw both Harribel and Morgiana as his own sisters and family, while Logan was like the naughty little brother he never had as he constantly had to discipline the wild boy until he could mostly live amongst humans. He wasn't going to say something crazy like Logan could fit in with nobles and royalty, but at least he's doing fine at pirate and bandit levels of society.

Still, it was tremendous progress.

Arriving at the Island, Adam and Marco noticed that a large number of divisions had already arrived, with the former spotting the 5th, 3rd and 7th being here, causing a pleased smile to appear on his face as they rushed to the large bonfire where the upper echelon was having fun.

Upon landing, they were happily welcomed by many already drunk men as they passed liquor over, which Adam happily chugged with satisfaction as this time of year had the best drinks and he was a sailor through and through.

Marco the sinner politely refused as he went over to their Captain.

The old man was slowly getting on in years and Marco, as the crew's best doctor, wanted to make sure he wasn't overdoing it too much in order not to aggravate the many issues slowly catching up to the man. He could be rather fussy when it came to the man, much to Whitebeard's enjoyment over how his sons truly cared and annoyance because they kept trying to stop him from doing things and stealing his booze.

Heartwarming and funny as all hell really.

Whitebeard, Strongest Man in the World, being grumpy because his sons are trying to take care of him.

Of course, laughing simply turned Adam into a target so the man could take out his frustrations on him, but the ghost teen never backed down once, always taking the beatings and always getting closer and closer to the man in every struggle which ended up with him awaking in Marco's infirmary.

"Adam!" A female voice happily yelled as a red missile shot at him, being caught with one arm to save the great drink in his hand as he caught a very happy and slightly tipsy Morgiana. "You're late!"

"Haha! Sorry, was having too much fun with Marco on our last training session!" He explained with a big grin.

Looking at her, one would truly be unable to say anything beyond how beautifully she was growing.

At the age of 14 and a half, Morgiana looked almost like a delicate red flower, actually being treated as such even while being one of the strongest 20 in the Whitebeard Pirates at such a young age, due to her fluttering eyelashes emphasizing her bright ruby eyes, beautiful hair, somewhat petite figure and gentle personality.

Surprising everyone though was that it would seem that she had Long-Leg tribe ancestry in her from either her Kuja mother or the paternal figure as her legs developed a lot once she properly hit puberty. It wasn't completely disproportional due to her not being full or possibly even half Long-Leg, but it did give her a pair which she quite liked as they not only helped her fighting style, giving a good reason as to why she was so much better with her legs than upper body as well, but it also allowed her to make more alluring and entrancing movements while dancing.

The fact that she also underwent a good growth spurt due to her ancestry coming through, growing to a nice 5'11(1.8m) from her past 4'7(1.4m), was something she celebrated. She hadn't liked being so much shorter than Adam and Harribel, feeling like a small child next to them. Even Logan had come close to surpassing her when younger and malnourished, so she was pleased to not be the shortest.

"Come on! Harri and Logan are already here!" She excitedly informed him as she dragged him by the hand as he let her do so with a cheerful smile.

It was good to see her so happy and cheerful!

She was still into alabastan-style outfits, with warmer and passionate colors as her primary choices, but today she actually had a mostly white set with red accents and detailing of flames.

A poorly kept secret amongst the Whitebeard pirates, especially the 7th division, was that if anyone actually hurts her... well all hell would break loose. Even Whitebeard quite liked his 'granddaughter', as she part of his 'grandson's' crew, because she treats him very well and the innate aura she projects. It's like they'd all turn into pissed off Sanji if someone tries to hurt the teenage girl stronger than most of them.

Leading Adam over excitedly, they found 13 year old Logan drinking heartily with Fossa and Jozu, actually outpacing them as he slammed his empty mug down and let out a proud laugh.

The mug was bigger than his head.

"Grarara! Take that old men!" The wolffish teen gloated as they finished their drinks in defeat.

They might be stronger and more experienced, but his insane constitution made drinking really enjoyable for the younger teen. Those who knew more about him sometimes wondered if he was Kaidou's bastard son or something due to his ridiculous body and drinking habits.

While he hadn't grown too much, being around 5'1(1.55m), mostly due to his upbringing, Logan was still growing a good deal of muscles for his age. His hair still with untamable 'horns' concealing his wolf hears, refusing to wear anything other than pants and easily removable jackets, his black tail could be seen cheerfully wagging behind him as he took pleasure in outdrinking everyone.

"Hey Logan! Look who's finally here!" Morgiana excitedly spoke as the much younger girl really couldn't conceal Adam's large frame.

"*Burp* Hey boss." The wolf-mink hybrid grinned, showcasing his sharp canines. "Want to join in? I want to see how you act when hammered! Grararara!"

"Maybe later. Gotta go see Gramps about heading out first." Adam informed the little group, changing Logan's grin from playful to excited.

"That means I'm gonna get new things to fight and I can finally show the oceans who's really the top predator!" The wolf boy almost howled as his battle lust surged forward. "Grah! Now I need a fight!"

Relatively civilized he might be, but Logan was still heavily influenced by his upbringing.

He doesn't have to fight, but he still finds great pleasure in doing so now that he can do it when he likes and with who he wants to. His Mink heritage certainly doesn't help as it makes him a natural born warrior and gives him heightened animalistic urges and instincts which were boosted when he was given his Ancient Zoan fruit.

As a result, he deeply desires to clash against the beasts and monsters of this world, wanting to prove himself an 'Alpha' essentially.

Obviously, Adam made sure that he understood who the 'pack leader' was, hence why Logan calls him boss, but beyond that he was happy to support him just like any crew member he would have.

After being trained, he started specializing in 'Claw Fighting' where he utilized his naturally sharpened nails to turn his hands into weapons, preferring slashing and piercing attacks. Adam helped him develop various techniques by basically challenging him to replicate things like Rankyaku with his hands and feat, showing him Tekkai to improve his toughness and striking capabilities the better he gets with it, sword techniques he could mimic, some fish-man Karate, but Adam believed that Toriko's modified 'Knife and Fork' combat style would suit him the most overall due to its wildness and the identical striking mechanisms.

He wasn't any sort of heavenly prodigy, especially with how everything had to be taught to him either through overshadowing or visually, a lot of the time meaning beating him with whatever technique, as he wouldn't understand standard explanations, but it still went very well due to Logan's understanding of body language, his still great combat talent, and his sheer grit and determination.

His electro on the other hand, now that had been almost entirely self-taught as there was just no one who could really help him. They could only to their best to advise him on how to use the innate energy based on what they could compare it to, like Haki, Devil fruits and different racial abilities like Fish-Man water manipulation, which did help quite a bit even if it wasn't the best.

The big surprise when it came to Logan had been his Sulong form. Meaning he actually had one, but it was almost werewolf like in transformation as his hair turned a softly glowing white, he grew to almost 7 feet in height with great muscles, fur covered his body and he grew exponentially stronger in all areas beside technique and rationality. It was the reason why Logan fully acknowledged Adam's place as his leader, because he took full responsibility and beat him down until he could start getting control over himself, even if it was a work in progress.

Letting him be on his way as they all knew some fights were happening anyway since everyone was a pirate and there was a lot of alcohol involved, Adam and Morgiana continued on their way, greeting Jozu and Fossa before doing so.

Heading up the path, they could see several large bonfires and isolated groups celebrating their 'vacations' until they reached Whitebeard's location.

There they could most of the Division Commanders and associated Pirate Captains of the Whitebeard Pirates. In fact, Harribel was also here alongside Vista, somewhat acting like guards for the big man since both weren't really drinkers, even if the former was surprisingly glutenous in regards to meat, visible from the ultra sized shank of meat she was casually eating.

At 16 years old, she was the definition of a cool and strong beauty, with a body which most women would kill for as her breast developed to D-cups already, her waist was narrow and her hips wide with long legs to bring it all together, all under smooth tanned skin. Not taking away from her beauty at all though, were the visible abs she had developed and put on display with her pale blue top only mostly covering her bikini clad assets, lower mouth and arms, and her lower body clothed in a loose pair of black pants. Her somewhat spiky blonde hair was kept around shoulder length with two braided strands down her shoulders.

Right now though, she had her top unzipped, displaying her wave pattern bikini top as her sharp teeth bit into her large meat shank with a small smile breaking through her usual stoic demeanor.

"Harri~!" Morgiana happily cried out, breaking the cool swordswoman out of her meat focus and fully notice the approaching duo.

She might have been passively observing the place with Observation Haki, but that mostly meant she could only senses emotions and intent, not see everything around her.

"*Swallow* Hello Mor, I see you've found Adam." She greeted as she gave a head pat with her free hand to the girl hugging her.

Being the second tallest member of their little crew at 8'3"(2.52m), she did Tower over the relatively more average height Morgiana who's head was in the relatively enviable position of feeling the already prodigious mountains the hybrid Fish-Woman sported with her face.

"How have you been Bel?" Adam gently asked as he looked her over.

He knew she had been involved in a good deal of conflict against members of the Charlotte family over the last year, just like Logan and Morgiana had been more involved with clashes against the Beast Pirates, so he wanted to make sure she was ok.

"I've been well. Sir Vista has deemed me his equal recently, but I feel unworthy of the title." She humbly revealed, much to her family's silent shows of pride which made her internally happy. "I am still too green."

"Haha! I'm sure that if he said it, he meant it!" Adam widely grinned at the news. "I look forward to clashing blades with you again."

"As do I." Harribel nodded with a glint of excitement in her eyes as her passion was stoked.

"*Giggle* I'm so happy for you!" Morgiana began to squeal from happiness for her sister as she squeezed the teen even tighter.

The two quickly devolved in the smaller redhead chattering rapidly as the older of the two nibbled on her meat shank while sometimes answering or imputing her thoughts, which allowed Adam to slip away towards Whitebeard.

"Hey Gramps." Adam casually greeted the large man as he drunk from an equally large far of sake.

"*Glug glug glug sigh* Brat." He snorted as he carefully looked at his grandson from the corner of his eye. "It looks like you're set on leaving."

"Yeah. I need to handle something first, but then I'll go back home and set off on my journey as a proper Captain." Adam responded with a firm nod.

"Wano huh." Whitebeard murmured as he swished his sake a bit before placing it before his grandson. "Have a drink with me."

Seeing no reason not to, Adam grasped the jar and took a few deep gulps of his own.

"*Puah!* Haha! Good Sake!" He readily praised as he passed the jar back.

With an approving grin, Whitebeard took it back for a swig of his own.

"Kaidou has likely taken Wano by now, even if it might not look like it on the surface. I know him too well to not understand what it meant for his forces to be centered there and you are not ready to face him." He slowly spoke as the two shared sake. "Be careful."

"Hehe. Don't worry too much Gramps, I know I can't take on Kaidou yet, but I'm not planning to do it now. Plus, you know if I want to escape that there's not much that can stop me." The teen reassured the somewhat tsundere old man. "I just need to see it is all."

Not needing many words between the two, they both understood a great many things as those experienced in the world, even if Whitebeard simply believed Adam to just be wiser beyond his years. They understood the importance of where one comes from in life and the desire to both know of it/them, then build off from there.

Edward Newgate dedicated his life for what he treasured: his homeland, to make sure none there would have to suffer and live a life like his, and his family due to having lost it and wanting to form one with the many who shared the same fate in their youths on the seas. Both those things were intrinsically bound to his origin, as such, even if he didn't want his grandson, the young man who he came to see as a possible successor, to head into the lair of a beast, he would not stop him.

A man must accept his origins to move forward and he must make his own choices and live with the consequences which come with them. Both good and bad.

"Will you need anything?" Whitebeard asked as the unsaid offer was made.

"Maybe a Brig Sloop as a loan, so I don't have to go back home yet to get my ship. Sphinx is close to Wano and it would really make things easier if I borrow a ship to bring everything I need to." Was the answer before Adam broke out in a mischievous grin. "I am a pirate apprentice, so I can pay you back with a little...raiding.

I am basically made for it.

And I'm sure Kaidou or whoever won't mind too much."

"Gurararara! That's right! We're pirates and we should raid and pillage our enemies!" Whitebeard heartily agreed.

No matter how good he was for a pirate, he was still one.

He might support his home island and protect many others, but he still built his way up as the World's strongest by pillaging and raiding as he stood over the bodies of countless others, even sailing with the most dangerous crew in centuries for years before he somewhat mellowed out and started to mainly clash against the crews of his former crew mates.

But that is the path of any man who wishes to change the world in any way.

The path most common in conquerors.

Gol D. Roger was different than the others because he didn't want to rule, he wanted to see it all while the World Government would stop at nothing to stop him, hence how he challenged the world. Something Adam knew very well would happen to him in due to time, hence why he prepared so much, because in the end, his path mirrored those of the man, but he too wouldn't be stopped.

It just might take more time for everyone to realize it because he wasn't going to be like everyone else and rushing to the end goal.

"You'll have your ship, and I'll have someone stationed near the border to welcome you back." The larger man grinned widely.

"Thanks Gramps. I won't let you down." Adam sincerely responded.

"As long as you keep true to your dreams and live a good life, you won't." Whitebeard nodded before finishing the sake jar. "Now! Let's go show these kids how to party because we're sending our kids off!!"


Author Notes:

This is basically a small chapter to set my prelude arc before Adam starts sailing on his own ship, trying to show the physical changes and some behavior to tell the story more than just outright telling it.

Like Adam's tattoos, the ways all three current members generally act as Adam is easy going, Morgiana is bright and spirited, Harribel is cool and humble even passionate about progressing with her blade, and Logan is the wild child and battle maniac.

They each have their own goals and drives and I kind of want Adam's crew to be somewhat different than even Luffy's model.

Ok Luffy's ship, everyone has a dream that they want to achieve while sailing under the same flag, but aside from supporting each other as friends, each dream is basically completely separate. Like, no one can really help Zoro train his sword while traveling, no helps Usopp become this brave warrior of the sea or try to assist in growing pop greens to fight, Nami is still the only one with proper navigational skills and solos all mapmaking, Sanji is the only cook, no one as any kind of real understanding of medical treatments outside very basic first aid, Franky and maybe Usopp are the only ones who can actually maintain a ship (mostly Franky's fault here), only one who can do anything musical is brooks, and so on. Honestly, Robin is probably the only one who could actually sail on her own and do relatively well, beside Jinbe now anyway.

But I want Adam's crew to be able to help each other and be more rounded out skill wise as sailors.

Morgiana might be more of a Dancer and combatant, but now she has many support skills on top of knowing a good deal of medical knowledge and being a natural at navigation.

Harribel is a fighter through and through, be she can also cook and fix up wounds if needed. She would dance with Morgiana if needed or just assist her in her duties.

Logan might be a fighting addict, but thanks to his beast traits he's a perfect person man the rigging and sails, can serve as a perfect sparring partner due to his durability and his an excellent hunter.

They're still growing, but in the end I'm going to try and make their skill sets diverse enough for at least a few crew members being able to help with another's dreams. At the moment, Adam wants to sail the world, which everyone is helping him with, Harribel wants to reach the peak as a sword User, which Adam and Logan can help with directly, Morgiana generally wants to see new things, help those she cares for and bring joy to others with her dancing, all of which she can do with this crew in general, and Logan wants to essentially take the title of Strongest Creature for himself in the future, so lots of training with a powerful crew and clashes with others as they travel the world.

That kind of thing if I'm not totally wrong, but it'll develop more later as more crew members join.

Now, I can say that the 'training/childhood' part is done.

Adam and his crew are about to set off on their own and as mentioned, Wano is first.

Do not expect him to be able to go in there and just take care of everything. They are not nearly strong enough or ready to do so.

There are many objectives beyond that though, that will heavily the proper Wano arc as Adam will be upholding the 20 year promise in his own way for multiple reasons we will get into later.

He also isn't getting his own ship yet because Wano is estimated to be really close to Sphinx Island, which is convenient as heck and that'll happen later.

This is going to be a few chapter long arc, not too long since it's mostly going to be without any kind of large conflict, but still important.

As of now, this would be the general estimate for everyone's strength levels:

Adam: Between Low-tier Yonko and Top-Class Yonko Commander. (I'm actually placing Oden around Low-Tier Yonko as comparison, with current Whitebeard being somewhere between Top-Tier and High-Tier due to aging and slowly ailing body, Kaidou being around High-Tier and Big Mom at mid-to-high tier depending on Homie loadout)

He just doesn't have anything to really allow him to ascend to that higher level yet.

Harribel is Mid-tier Yonko Commander (Somewhat lower than Vista)

Morgiana is between Top-Tier Division leader/Officer to Low-Tier Yonko Commander

Logan is Mid-Tier Division Leader/Officer

I think these levels are fair considering everything at the moment. They will experience more growth as they sail obviously, but for now that'll be it.

Hope you guys enjoyed, I'll try to get to the next chapter soon.
