Author's Note: Well here you have the third chapter. Everything will be settle here. I hope you like it, enjoy.
- My travel through the New World was... amazing - said Gamathas. - As I had no allies beside my crew we kept things low. We did not need to draw the attention of the Marine or any of the Younko to us.
"To tell my adventures in every island we came across will take too long, but don´t worry my chronist is preparing a copy of all his data and also of my diary. He said he would like to make a book of all that, and he probably will, besides we didn't went too far into the New World . But what I will explain, is how I got from the North Blue to the East Blue"
Everyone in the room look expectantly at Gamathas.
"Crossing the Calm Belt wasn´t too difficult. We kicked some Sea Kings asses and forced them to take us all the way to North Blue. The last island we arrived before entering the North Blue was Hermit Island, an island with vast forrests, you can certainly be one with nature there. There we met Yado and his family, he is an hermit and he is sixty years old...and he kicked my ass"
- WHAT? - yelled Kratothas - Some sixty years old hermit kicked your ass? How is that?
- Care to explain that Gamathas - said lord Masar.
- We were just sparring and I could not beat him, just like that - said Gamathas - Yado can use the three types of Haki, he is a master on that, he said that the few ones that came bringing trouble to Hermit Island were killed by him, and that he would not kill me if I behave. But something good came from all that.
- And that is...? - asked Lord Saron.
- He taught me how to use Haki - answered Gamathas.
- Really? - asked Sharken smirking
- Yes - said Gamathas
- The three of them? - asked Sharken and Magnathas looked at Gamathas waiting for his answer.
- Unfortunetely not - answered Gamathas - I can only use the Kenbunshoku Haki and the Busoshoku Haki. Apparentely the third type of Haki, the Haoshoku Haki is not one of my abilities, thought Yado said that maybe one day I will be able to "awake it" some how.
- Hmm... we will see - said Sharken while looking at Magnathas keeping his smirk.
- Please continue with your story Gamathas - said lord Masar.
- Yes. It took me three years to learn how to use Haki properly, and also my firstmate, Leon, learned how to use it. Finally we made it to the North Blue and as I am a wanted man the Marines were all over us all the time, as I am sure you now. I am also sure that you are aware of what I did in the land of Leaves at Fire Country - said Gamathas
- I wish I was there, that was soo cool - said Kratothas
- Certainly that was a hard strike to the World Government - said Deltathas.
- It was spected they put a 220,000,000 bellis bounty over your head for that - said Sharken
- Yes, destroying two Marine bases and killing three land owners that were abusing of their title was a good move form your part, Gamathas - said Lord Bell.
- Well, after all that me and my crew had to hide for a month, untill we found a small island where we could stay without worrying about the Marines. And three years later I met the one that would take me to the East Blue - told Gamathas
- Who? - asked Magnathas
- Doom D. Drake - answered Gamathas - Better known as "Death Wing", the captain of the Black Dragon Pirates.
- He is currentely here in the South Blue - commented Deltathas
- He has a bounty of 130,000,000 bellis - said Sigma
- Gamathas, do you thing he is a treat to the Alliance? - asked lord Bell.
- No, he isn't. He is not so bad when you get to know him - Sigma, Stigma, Kratothas and Deltathas look at Gamathas like if he had a mental condition.
- Why? - asked again lord Bell.
- We became friends. As we were the strongest pirates in the North Blue he said that it would be good for us to be allies. Together we could crush the block fleet the Marine has near Reverse Mountain in the North Blue. But he said that he knew another path, a path that connected the North Blue and the East Blue - answered Gamathas.
- Now we are getting to the good part - said Sharken
- Near the North Pole - began Gamathas - At north-east from the Snow Country,... there is an ancient passage that connect the North Blue and the East Blue.
- WHAT? - yelled everyone in the room but the Council members.
- Are you fucking kidding me? - asked Deltathas
- Is that true? - asked Kratothas
- That is a huge discovering! - said Sigma and Stigma
- That is awesome! -said Magnathas, Dante and Galeon
- That is incredible! - said Sharken
- Would you SHUT UP and let him explain further? - asked Lord Masar and Lord Saron.
- Sorry - said everyone that spoke out of place.
- Please continue, Gamathas - said lord Bell.
- Emm,...yes. As I was saying. There is an ancient passage that connect the North Blue and the East Blue. You see, Drake used to be a slave for the Tenryubito - Kratothas, Sigma and Stigma's faces turned dark after hearing that - and he was forced to fight for some stupid competition in Mareijos. Fortunetely for him, his "master" force him to eat a devil fruit. The Dragon Dragon Fruit: Black Dragon Model.
- Wait a minute - said lord Bell - Was he involved in that revolt at Mareijos six years ago?
- Heh, he started that revolt six years ago - answered Gamathas.
- Impressive - said lord Bell.
- He used his new powers to scape from Mareijos and he got to the North Blue, there he form the Black Dragon Pirates with some other slaves that came with him from Mareijos, and some guys of his crew stold a trunk believing that a treasure was inside, but all they found were old books and maps that were five hundred years old. From them he learned about a myth that talked about some passages which connected the Four Blues and he was determined to find them - told Gamathas
- I like him allready - commented Sharken
- So,...there are passages that connect the Four Blues,...that is amazing - said Magnathas
- According to the book there are eight passages, and Drake said he will go to all The Four Blues before going to the Grand Line - said Gamathas looking at Magnathas
- How did you crossed it? If it is so useful someone must have known about it - asked Magnathas
- We went near the North Pole because that's where the Marines forces are fewer, and the conditions are horrible for exploring. And no one would ever known about it because the passage was completely covered with ice. Thank God he found out that because I would had killed him for making me go there for nothing - said Gamathas
- Do you think there is any way to recruit him in the Alliance? - asked lord Saron.
- I'm affraid not. He doesn't want to have connections with any kind of government, but he did promise me that he won't attack any kingdom that is part of the Alliance, he also said that he could not promise anything about him not attacking the Marines - said Gamathas smiling
- No problem with that - said Lord Masar, Saron and Bell.
- In the East Blue, everything was quite simple. There are many places were the civilians wellcome pirates with the Marine not noticing it. We had soo much fun in East Blue. I have to thank the Straw Hat Pirates for that, they are considered heroes there, though the Marine tries to avoid that - told Gamathas
"As I wanted and needed to come back to South Blue, I told Drake my plan of crossing the Calm Belts and the Grand Line straight to South Blue and he liked it and we came together. Some Marine Comodore try to capture as when crossing the Grand Line but beside that nothing disturbed our trip and now I am back here and Drake is somewhere around here too"
- That was a hell of a story I must say. But let's focus in the other busines now - said the bald fat man with a white mustache.
- Lord Costanza is right, there are other things to take care - said the two blonde twins at the same time.
- Right - said Lord Saron - Magnathas Minethil, state your business here.
- Members of the Council - started Magnathas - I am here today, after eight years of training, to be named as the next Blue Skull.
- And why do you want that? - asked Lord Costanza.
- Because the flag of the Blue Skull Pirates have not been rised after the captain Blue Skull died. You know that I was a member of the of the late Blue Skull Pirates, I was there, in Shabaody Archipelago, when they meet their doom and I want to avenge them, I want to kill Admiral Akainu. And at last you know why I was a member of the Blue Skull and that I don´t like the World Government one damn bit - finished Magnathas.
The Council members look at each other. Them Lord Saron speak.
- Sharken,as the only survivor of the late Blue Skull Pirates, what do you have to say about this? - asked lord Saron.
- Je, let the kid do it - started Sharken - Musashi trained him for four years and I trained him the other four, his skill in the art of the sword are amazing, because of his bounty hunter job people call him "Sword Saint Magnathas", and I taught him how to use Haki, he still needs a little practice with the Busoshoku Haki, but his Kenbunshoku Haki is perfect and...he can use the Haoshoku Haki, tough he can control it, yet.
- And what about you two, Dante Alon and Galeon Marquis? - said Lord Bell.
- We want to be part of the new Blue Skull Pirates - said Dante and Galeon.
- You two were also at Shabaody Archipelago, right? - asked Lord Costanza.
- Yes - answered Dante and Galeon.
- Come on old men - Sharken spoke - It is a new age and they want to be part of it. I know this three since they were kids and I can asure you all that they are pretty strong and that they will fullfill their dutties as part of the Skull with no trouble. Beside, I will be the First Mate of Magnathas and I'll make sure that they don't mess up everything.
- I think Sharken will mess up everything - wisper Deltathas to Kratothas.
- You said something you damn green bean! - said Sharken angry.
- I said nothing. I swear - said Deltathas -.-U
- You've better not - said Sharken.
All the Council members look at each other then they all nod.
- We will let you be the next Blue Skull, Magnathas Minethil - said the twins
- Thank you all. I swear I will follow all your orders - said Magnathas.
- Don't be so happy, kid - said Lord Costanza - First we will give a test
- What? - said Magnathas, Dante and Galeon.
- Yes, exactly - said Lord Bell - Before giving you our full support we must make sure that you are up to the challenge
- What would that test be? - asked Magnathas
- First of all, who else beside Sharken, Dante and Galeon would be part of your crew?
- The navigator will be Slamu and Fishor the shipwright - answered Magnathas.
- WAIT! WHAT? How the Hell did you get those two to work with you? I've been trying that for years - asked Kratothas angry
- I think Sharken had something to do with it - wisper Sigma to Stigma who nod in agreement.
- Do not speak out of line Kratothas! - said Lord Saron and Kratotas muttered something about him allways getting the yelling - Those two are excellent professionals. You are verry lucky to have them with you.
- What about a doctor? - asked Lord Bell - No offense but those two and Sharken are some big troublemakers.
- HEY! That is not true, and even if it is I never started anything, I swear - said Sharken and Deltathas muttered something that sounded like "Yeah right".
- James and Jane Hiber could be the doctors of the crew - answered Magnathas.
- Could be? And why the two of them? Are you planning to get hurt a lot? - asked Lord Masar
- Well,...James would come with no problem but Jane is another story. I will have to convince her, and I said the two of them because you can have one with out the other - said Magnathas scraching his head.
- That's true. They do everything together. Jaja We used to make fun of them saying that they even went to the bathroom together - said Galeon.
- If you think about how well Jane has "grown up" I wouldn't mind going to the bathroom with her - said Dante smirking
- I think that Dante guy is a pervert - wisper Sigma to Stigma
- So what? - Stigma wispered back
- Oh, right. Sorry, I forgot I was talking to you - was all Sigma said.
Gamathas just look at the pair of ladies and all the young ones in the room like if they were crazy, and he was probably right.
- And what job would Dante and Galeon have in the crew? - asked Lord Bell
- Oh, I am the sniper - answered Dante quickly and excited.
- And I am the martial artist and helmsman - said Galeon.
- That would make you a crew of eight, hmm that is a low number for a Skull Pirate crew, but considering you have three experienced fishmen it doesn't matter - said Lord Costanza
- And what is the test about? - asked Sharken with his arms crossed.
- Right - said the twins - We will give you a fine modern ship, with all the equipment nessesary for sailing even in the Calm Belt. But before you could be fully recognized as the Blue Skull Pirates you will have to attack and sink ten ships either from the Marines or other pirate crew.
Everyone fell silent after that statement.
- That's it - said Galeon - We just have to attack and sink ten ships and that's it, jaja we will be done we this test in no time!
- Are you sure you will? - asked Gamathas
- Of course we will - answered Galeon
- Are you sure you have what it takes to attack and sink the ships where other people had traveled? Where other people had lived? - started Gamathas - You three may have been training all these years, you may have gone bounty hunting, but this is nothing like it, this is serious business. We are the Skull, we are fear in the South Blue and in the Grand Line because we kill our enemies, marine or pirate it doesn't matter if someone threatens the Alliance, our nakama or other Skull crew we kill them, and if the World Government agents do something against innocent people we certainly kill them. I asked you again, Do you have what it takes to do what you are and will be requested to do?
Everyone fell silent and waiting, until...
- Yes - answered Magnathas - We have
- Then there is no more to say about this matter - said the twins - Just one more thing, as the Blue Skull will be in this test you all must remain out of trouble, because they will be the ones causing trouble, and even if they succeed or not we will have a metting like this in a month. Blue Skull Pirates you can wait outside the building, we will send someone who will take you to your ship. You are all dismiss.
And with that all the people in the room started to leave.
