Well….Shit. Well I know that I am incredibly late in updating my story but lately I was pretty busy elsewhere. Sometimes motivation can be very awkward sometimes when deciding when it wants to help commit in something. Well seeing that it is nearly Christmas I proudly present a new chapter has now officially been uploaded. Hoorah! all 20K words, what the hell motivates me to type up this much.

I haven't mentioned this before but I will mention I now, this story will contain minor crossovers form other places that has little to do in this story as we are primarily focusing on the one piece canon and what would happen when I add Marcus into the fray.

Weapon spawning will contain weapons from other games, real life, anime and other places.

Parings are not happening yet but it will happen sooner than you think.

Also lemons won't be appearing as of yet so keep it in your pants ("Awww!" *zip!*).

Also I am glad to say that this story has now reached over 1000 views 14favs and 14 follows (WoooT!)

To Fatelovers's Review - The whole one year later thing that happened last chapter was a slip up I did on my behalf and is now sorted.

Deimos Knows no shame whatsoever, as you will find out later on.

I have an idea of what to use for the poneglyphs that may work out but I need to give it more thought.

World noble lady? Could you please be a little more specific in who you mean?

Marcus does not know about the calm belt yet if he did then he would be be like Nope!

anyway merry Christmas to you all and now sit back,read and leave a comment for anything you liked or anything constructive would be helpful.

Welcome to Boot camp and your future

(Ohara: north coast 5:30AM 3 days later)

It was a cool early morning along the coastline of Ohara with the sun rising up in the distance. I don't see that very often and i think it is a really nice view, although my body would disagree and flip the bird at the rising sun, tell it to fuck off and fall back asleep. In the past I was never a morning person until I was forced to wake up earlier by my dreaded drill sergeant and my captain. Those two are dicks when you have to put up with them because in your sleep during the night you have to keep one eye open when you're sleeping because you never know when you might get abducted for interrogation exercises, survival runs in the deep dark woods with attack dogs chasing after you and you have nothing but your sleeping clothes on, i.e. boxers and a plain white t shirt and people shooting paintballs at high speeds and electric darts, that was painful as fuck.

So when I was sleeping peacefully for the first time in months I suddenly found myself upside down and the bed and mattress on top of me. ah yes the infamous military wakeup call at 5 in the fucking morning. And if anyone from my old unit thought my drill sergeant was bad, then watch this lady.

After a quick beasting moment from Olivier she rushed me to get ready for training. I put on some simple black combat trousers, black combat boots, an urban camo tank top and black fingerless sports gloves.

I cooked up a quick breakfast of eggs, sausages, bacon and toast with butter, it was a quick breakfast because I have not eaten for the past 800 years, cryo freezing can do that to you. After an ultimately satisfying and delicious breakfast that would've left a tear in my eye, I decided to leave my temporary residence which was a room in the library tree provided by professor clover as repayment for saving robin and Ohara, such nice people.

I arrived at the designated area of where I was going to train; weirdly I found that I wasn't alone. Excluding Olivier being there, quite a lot of my clones were present including Hank, Sanford, Deimos, that hot nurse/medic called Shizuka I think that what she's called, the clones that took part in the assault and the…. Slaves?

"Morning commander" hank walked up to me with a mug of tea in his hand and hank taking sips out of his mug that says Mr Tea.

"yea, why is everyone here?" I asked him

Hank shrugged "Well originally it was Deimos's idea to observe your training and cheer you on, or in his words show his support by firing fireworks at you whilst you are running" hank explained whilst my eyebrow twitched in irritation

"And I guess he got caught red handed and he is going to get punished by Olivier, yes?"

"No, what Olivier did instead was punish all of us by making us do the same training regime set up for you." Hank deadpanned

"Why is that?"

"Because we all wanted to watch him do that to you" he responded in a sheepish smile

"Oh cheers dickhead." I rolled my eyes

"Love you too commander." He responded in an amused tone

"By the way, why are the slaves here? aren't they still recovering from malnutrition?"

"Some of them were in pretty bad state of malnourishment from when we recovered them. But these young women are completely fine, just a little bit underweight but that's nothing we can't handle. You would be surprised about how devoted these women are to us and Olivier. Whatever those slavers and nobles did to these women have messed them up badly. They have formed up a mentality of a loyal servant which was taught forcefully onto them to swear loyalty to their master into doing every deed the master desires them to do for them. It can range from chores, manual labour, dancing and singing, cooking, even bed with their masters and devote their bodies to them or when the time calls for it they were even told to sacrifice their lives for their master." Hank explained with a grim look on his face.

My eyes lit up in shock "What the fuck! And this is legal! What is up with society today." I expressed my anger in disgust of these actions against these women. After a short minute of brief anger I calmed myself by breathing in and out "Ok at least they are safe now with us, but why are they here?"

"As I said before it's because they are devoted to us, Olivier gave them hope and support because she is a strong woman and these girls and women admire her for it. And we were the ones who liberated them from their oppressive master. But when they caught wind of our training regime with Olivier they wanted to join us, we tried to convince them otherwise saying that their bodies were too weak and still needed recovering. But they were adamant in joining us." Hank further explained and then took a deep sigh.

"so they eventually had their way and are now joining us." I said

"Yes they did, but unfortunately it was because of their master/slave mentality that was the cause of this. They haven't got rid of it outright or haven't at all, yes they wanted to be saved from their evil master but their priorities are so fixated on finding a new master to serve."

I frowned at that piece of information in discomfort "you're not telling me that they…."

"Correct, that master is you and Olivier" he said nonchalantly and remained that way when I smacked my own face with the palm of my hand and me groaning into it.

"Fuck sake."

"Not that it makes any difference now that you still got it with the ladies."

"What do you mean?" I asked tilting my head in confusion

Hank sighed and rolled his eyes " I mean the girls here, they obviously like you because you showed them kindness when you saved them. There is that short blond haired woman wearing a purple bandana and purple coat for one example, and I think you got a reaction out of Olivier too."

I scratched my cheek with a blush highlighting them and turned back to hank "you mean Hocha? Dude she practically nearly blasted my face off with a rifle at point-blank range, even though it was by reflex. And Olivier…." I looked over to where Olivier was and I could see she was walking over to where I was and was stopped by Deimos by asking her if he could call her Mirajane or the chan suffix because it sounded cute to him, to which she responded by round house kicking him into the cliff face with half his body stuck in it head first. Both me and hank sweat dropped at this "yea, nuff said about her."

Olivier approached me gazing at me with those of hers eyes scrutinizing me. And there it was again, another blush to which she attempted to fight against and was cursing herself for acting like a teenage high school girl with a mad crush. The way she was looking at me was now changing from scrutiny to something else and it was quite strange to witness a woman of her calibre acting like this.

Hank also noticed my confused face I was making and shook his head 'I really need to teach him about women, perhaps his time in the academy was not enough to enlighten him about females. Well then again he was raised for the military life and there were females around but where he was at were for the most devoted and elite soldiers in the military, maybe I should bring Shizuka and a few other female clones along to help educate him.' He thought to himself deviously with a light chuckle about ways to help his original/commander.

Eventually Olivier broke out of her stupor and approached both me and hank as we both gave a salute to out commanding officer.

"At ease gentlemen." she acknowledged to our salute and we complied to her order and relaxed.

"Don't mind me asking Olivier but why did you accept a partially brainwashed and slightly underweight slave girls into or unit?" I asked

"These women have suffered enough and yes it was wrong of me to accept them but I had no choice. If I let them be free with a mentality like that they would be caught in no time or someone else who is just as bad as their previous master who would use this opportunity to do rather sick deeds on them. Even though they wished to be saved they still need a master/mistress to serve because that's all they know, they have some conscious and dignity but the rest of it was wiped clean by something to make them more docile against their master and they would swear loyalty without fault." She explained

"But they are not soldiers. Hell, some of them even have children." I tried to argue

"Some of the children were with them from the beginning from when they were captured and some of them were conceived with some of the nobles but abandoned due to the baby's mother was a commoner. Yes they are not soldiers but they can learn how to protect themselves and their loved ones, if you look into their eyes you can see the level of devotion that they desire to please us, they want to do this to prove themselves to us. If we deny them that they would feel useless and it could lead them to suicide, believe me I have seen it happen before. It is best this way so they don't have to suffer from the hands of those pigs." She answered back with a scowl.

I sighed at this no matter how much I wanted to object, I didn't want them to suffer anymore. But military life is not much better. Yes you can get stronger but you could potentially die from it, however judging from the looks of these women that Olivier mentioned these women were so devoted to us that they would obey any order given from us without question.

"Did you at least try and salvage what you could from their minds?" I asked her.

"Yes I did attempt that and I succeeded bringing back parts of their personality and conscience and I did what I could to keep them from falling into further despair. As you can see here I think no matter how hard you push them their willpower will remain strong. Give them time to recover their lost strength and slowly build it up I believe they could have the potential to be fine soldiers." She gave a small smile at the once enslaved women.

I still wasn't too sure about this but I eventually just dropped it and let Olivier have her way. For now I have training to do.

For the training exercises we started with the basic workouts with a twist. One exercise me and my clones did was we were ordered to move massive boulders that were chained across my chest and do laps around the island's coastline. Later on was the strength building exercises which was just me exceeding the recommended weight limit and forced to do twice the recommended amount, no normal human beings could be able to pull this off without killing themselves off, however I was not normal because due to my ranger training and the fact that my body was more stronger than an average human being so i should be fine as long as Olivier doesn't kill me off during my training.

Then there were the endurance exercises where we were sparring against each other in a mock mixed martial arts sparring match where I was put up with the rest of my clones and then proceed to beat the crap out of each other. Hank by far was the most balanced and the closest to my skill in martial arts from the Old earth such as Karate, taekwondo, Muay Thai, Krav Maga and various others that were drilled into my head during the ranger training. He also came pretty close to my power and agility so he lasted the longest against me, Sanford was built more like a tank with his tall and sturdy build, he wasn't the quickest out of all of us but fast enough to defend himself and make for the speed disadvantage, his main advantages were taking damage and surpassing my level of strength and man could he hit hard. Deimos was annoyingly cunning and seriously fast with his strikes and pace, sometimes he could punch so quick I wouldn't be able to feel it until several seconds later and I am left disoriented. The whole point was to get us to last longer in a close quarters unarmed fight or melee fight where I was to be expected to get at least injured and exhausted during the fight, it was torture at first but I eventually gotten more used to it.

But when it came to sparring with Olivier for melee weapons training, my drill sergeant and captain has got nothing on her compared to how badly she thrashed us. I conjured up a mass variety of melee weapons all ranging from a Bowie knife to a Viking's double bladed battle-axe, the sharp weapons were Olivier's idea as she said she had nothing to fear of getting hurt and we would not be able to lay a scratch on her to which we responded by charging at her saying challenge accepted. The results, we got OWNED… literally and physically.

The Ex slaves to which we renamed them to their usual names, were made to do physiotherapy by Shizuka first and they were given a few chems that could help them increase their performance more. Shizuka is really good at her role of being our medic as she made sure that the medication were not addictive and cause any unwanted side effects. I actually found the information on how to make them on my Pipboy which was really handy, well for some reason whenever I try to spawn in food it does not taste of anything and I don't feel satisfied and I still would feel hunger which turns out that whenever I spawn food it takes a piece of my devil fruit energy and when I consume that food that energy gets restored as to what it was at before I spawned in that food. The same thing applies with drugs and medication; they don't even work so we have to make them by hand.

Ohara had plenty of plant life to start us off making as many drugs as we could. One of the many drugs that were really useful was a syringe that was built into a gun. Back on earth we called it the Stimpack and it was so effective that it could heal crippled limbs almost instantly and the flesh wounds would just close up by themselves and fade away over time.

Another drug that we made that were seriously popular back home and on pre-war earth were Mentats as they were used for increasing brain functionality, unfortunately at its hay day it was incredibly addictive amongst the young teens as they used it for partying to getting absolutely smashed on it. We made sure to steer clear on that because I remember my time when I was off my rocker on those, having my brain in overdrive mixed with alcohol will bring you an epic hangover that will make you wish you were dead from when you crash out. Shizuka had actually made another variant of the mentats that looked quite odd when you look at it. It was a small pill that was circular and see through but was claimed to put the early Mentats to shame (It's the pill from limitless.)

We were also debating on whether to use the experimental military only chems that were up for debate, on one side of the table one of the chems gives the person increased damage resistance and increased pain threshold and the other chem will give out an increased adrenaline rush that will make their attacks stronger. Problem was lies in the fact of their names, psycho and slasher. Both of them had me a bit concerned because we needed them to build up their strength, while we could use buffout but I rejected that idea because they are basically steroids and it will just deform their bodies making them into hulkish brutes instead of slender, toned and deadly soldiers like Olivier wanted

But shizuka threw the concerns out the window saying she already has that dealt with and they won't get the psychotic and uncontrollable berserkers that it was intended for. And it won't dampen the person's brain functions.

After filling them up with chems that would be considered extremely unhealthy but we were assured that they will be fine. When I saw them after they had been fed and they visited shizuka and they came back for training, they were so full of energy it was like they were in overdrive.

We tested them on their basic fitness to which they could only do 50 of each push ups, sit ups, crunches and a 5 kilometre run with the assistance of the chems, they could barely reach 7 without them and they could barely run half a kilometre. Later on during the training exercises I began to grow more concerned with their devotion towards us, they just refused to stop and rest even when their joints, muscles and limbs are screaming in pain and they were on the verge of breaking. Olivier took note of this and ordered them to rest and then told the medic to heal them up with the Stimpacks and give them fresh water to refresh them till she sent them back into training, to which they responded like machines.

'Oh god what have we created here. I thought with a cold sweat running down my forehead.

If that wasn't enough, they still had enough energy for us to teach them the basic education like the general language of the world (English, Japanese, whichever you prefer.), Maths and other things that were included like science, geography military tactics from me and Olivier and so on.

With the assistance of the improved Mentats they blitzed through the basic lessons in less than 4 hours with little help given to them. To Olivier's surprise and pride she could probably cry with tears showing of how proud she was for our soldiers to be.

Then we upped the difficulty level to intermediate and again that proved to be useless until we upped the level two more time to hard and expert, they were just prodigies in their own right… well sort of. They went from dumb to genius in a day… simply amazing.

The Mentats did not only just improve their intelligence but their ability to focus was affected as well. We trained them in the use of guns and we had them shoot at stationary targets and moving targets in the fastest time possible. Melee we had them play a game called fruit ninja with a real katana and fruit, we were not allowed to go easy on them so we simply just threw the fruits at them. The main point of this exercise is to improve their reaction times while they are surrounded by enemies. With a single katana they could cut through one while they spun around and cut another that was aimed for her face.

We also taught them how to be a sniper and shoot from long distances. We gave them a modified L115A3 AWM sniper rifle an told them to shoot at the targets that for each target they hit they had to move onto the next target that was further back and continue on to the last one.

'Even I had trouble at figuring out the wind direction and the bullet travel when I tried sniping, they shall find out the exact same trouble I had soon enough.

But when sooner did come around I was proven wrong, they quickly found out the meaning to sniping and with little trial and error they soon got the hang of it by hitting a target about 2400 meters away. "Well…shit" I voiced my thoughts out loud.

"Indeed." Olivier nodded in agreement while on the inside she was trying to hold back crying tears of pride and the urge to whip out a handkerchief.

It wasn't till three weeks into the training program that I now realised that I need to step up my game because the women were actually catching up faster than we anticipated.

Sanford had told me about the entity known as tricky that had possessed the half cyborg and he said that I needed to wake up to the big world. Not that I wanted to listen to the words of the enemy who does not show his face, but…he has a point. If I am to fight powerhouses like Olivier here then I need to get stronger and prepare for the unexpected.

Until then I was forced to increase my training and take chems to increase my performance, and monitor my progress over the coming months that I will be here on this island.

(Two months later)

While training with the girls there were a few young women that had caught my eye, not in that way. There were a few young girls and young women that stood out among the rest of them.

Since we started this training two months ago, they were severely malnourished and their muscles had grown weak. Now they had filled out quite nicely and their bodies were now toned and packed with raw power in them. They had all grown taller to about 5 ft 10 for some, others were the same height as me and some were taller than me while the younger girls reached the average height of a young woman. We had them eating more meat to fill out the needed areas so they would not look like skinny rakes so we had to supply them with the food as I couldn't make anything for them with my powers because the food would just disappear from their bodies and it will not make them grow stronger

But there was another problem with that also.

(Flash back)

"So what do we need?" I asked Hocha who was walking with me down the market square with robin who was holding our hands and she was smiling happily.

"Meat, eggs, fish, plenty of bread, milk, veggies, fruit etc. there is a lot we need to add into their diets to help them get stronger." She read off a shopping list. "Ah lucky for us, the butcher's shop is still standing and still going strong even after the pirate attack." He said before we made our way inside the butcher shop that showed us a vast selection of different kinds of meat and fish.

"Wow the meat here looks pretty exotic." I said in wonder and browsing through the meat was making me hungry. I haven't had a proper meal in months because of the invasion and I had to live off of rations, yeuch!

"That's old John the butcher for you, he used to be a first class cook at the marine headquarters before he retired from that and returned here back to his hometown and set up a shop here." Hocha explained

"Not bad." I nodded slightly impressed at his career.

Me and Hocha gathered up all of the meat that we needed to feed the newest recruits,once we finished gathering up the meat and as soon as I brought my wallet out I soon found out that I had a problem.

"What currency do you use here?" i asked Hocha.

"Berri, Why?"

"I have realised that all of my money are about 800 years out of date."

"Ooh! Ooh!, let me see!" she suddenly turned into archaeology fan girl mode and swiped the wallet out of my hands. "Hey!" I cried out in surprise.

She fished out 4 twenty dollar bills and a 100 dollar bill with a few coins with it. "Hmm they are similar in design the currency symbol is really similar. Here this is what our currency looks like." She said while fishing out few Berri notes from her inside coat pocket.

I looked over the texture and design of the berry and I brought out my hand and opened my palm and with read flash of red and black shadowy flames, I had a wad of 20,000 berris worth of notes. "Alright now I am sorted. You can keep the change" I smiled smugly as I paid the butcher for all of the meat and told the butcher to keep the change although I wondered what the exchange rate of the berri when compared to the dollar bill was.

Hocha just pouted at the blatant cheat reality power "That's just not fair." she whined.

"I know, but seriously I could do anything with this." I said while thinking of all the possible things i could do with this that was quite concerning for some people nearby as i had felt a brief moment that i was consumed by the money, until I felt a strong hand grasping my right shoulder.

"Hold up their sonny boy,you thought you could scam me eh." I looked around and saw a middle aged john the butcher giving me a death glare.

"Scam you? What do you mean?" I asked him with a raised eybrow

"The money you tried to pay for the meat were fake." He said while bringing up he wad of cash in my face and flicking through the berry bills in my face. "you are not going anywhere unless you pay for it with your own money." that shook me to the core as it turns out that my *ahem* Devil fruit could not spawn real money that has any real worth to it. oh crap he has a cleaver with him and his apron is stained with animal blood as well.

*Slam* I was saved by an interruption that was hank who had appeared with legit money. "There that should help pay for all of the meat, do we have any more problems?"

The butchers face relaxed into a charming smile. "Nope that about covers it, you are free to leave and it was a pleasure doing business with you and please do come again."

I stood there in confusion as I looked at the wad of cash in my hand. "Why did the money turn out to be fake?"

"No idea? Maybe the fruit doesn't want you to be a cheapskate with the whole spawning money which Is seriously cheating. and would prefer you to earn it like everyone else." Hank explained sarcastically.

"Oh come on I wasn't going to go around just start making it rain money, by the way where did you get that money." Iasked him

Hank just shrugged "found it stored on the pirate ships, managed to grab quite a fair amount before the townspeople robbed the lot to repair their homes with it.

"How much do we have?" I asked

"Erm, about 350,000 berris out of 75 million berries."

"Well that's not too bad"

"I think the exchange rate is incredibly similar to the the Japanese yen back on earth. I think I saw a plain whitet shirt that costs about 10,000 berri.

"Are they having a laugh?" I gaped

"Nope, a single loaf of bread is 500 berri. With the amount of people we have to look after with all of the new recruits and all, that money will not last us for long and it could go in about a month and a half."

"Huh… crap. We need a source of income then."

"Well considering we were hired as a mercenary unit/Private military contractors I think we need to find more alternative ways to making money so I think bringing in the bodies of the pirates and slaver captains to a marine outpost that handles the bounties. The bounties that were on each of their heads will fetch up quite a price for their heads. We should start on that" hank had pointed out

"Wouldn't that attract the nobles who originally hired them to our position?"

"Possibly, but I doubt they would try anything that will risk their positions as nobles. We should disguise ourselves as bounty hunters and cover our real names when we turn them in"

"Alright then let's get to it."

(Back to the present)

After we handed in the bounties of all three captains and the other bounties that were tied in with them, in total we gained 62.5 million berries…not bad.

We had to be a bit careful when walking around a marine base which was why we and I mean me, Hank, Sanford, and Deimos had to look the part.

When we entered the marine base we were on our guard because their might be a chance that there would be more people like this Farquad who was located at the bottom of the ocean, in pieces for the sharks to feed off of.

Fortunately the base was pretty quiet and peaceful, free from all of the corruption from the bigger bases that were stationed near the kingdoms. The outpost was more of a lookout post for pirate activity that seemed to be quite hectic at the moment all due to the impact of this execution of the pirate king crap going on.

We decided not to wear anything that would be too attention grabbing but we went for the usual black combat trousers, light grey trench coats with a hood, a bandana tied around our lower face covering our noses and mouths, and a pair of crimson red sunglasses (Cyclops's sunglasses from the Xmen films). Our excuse for covering up our identity was we would rather keep our identities hidden from anybody who would possibly seek out revenge against us for these men. Fortunately they agreed and they cashed in on the bounties and transferred the money over to us.

It appeared that there were no questions asked about the disappearance of Farquad as the marines of this outpost didn't seem to be that concerned about him that much, either they hated his guts or he wasn't important for them to care. Either way it proved to us that we were in the clear.

Back at the training grounds as I was about to mention that there were a fair amount of recruits that had caught my interest

One of the recruits was a young 19 year old girl that had long blue hair that reached far down her back and had blue eyes to which it made her look the more exotic kind of girl due to her porcelain like skin. She is a slender and an early developer looking girl as well as tall with a curvaceous figure and standing at 5' 6 which she now stands at. Beauty aside, there was something that was kind of off about her?

She came from a tribe located on an arctic like island over at north blue where she was captured from a raid a few years ago. From what I gathered from Olivier her name was Esdeath, and she explained to me that the tribe had a policy of survival of the fittest where the strong will survive and the weak shall perish.

In military terms that was not a bad concept to believe in for getting stronger, the problem was her aura screamed sadist and she may be slightly insane and homicidal. Which at some point I would have to try and find a way to ease her negative personality and get her to settle down a bit.

On the plus side she was a very capable fighter as she was one of the many top contenders for the best recruits. The reason being was what Olivier discovered earlier during a spar with her that she had extracted part of devil fruit that happened to be in someone else's possession. This happened to be an experiment on her to see if it was possible to clone an existing devil fruit that was a logia type whatever that is… something about the power to manipulate ice, it was a … partial success. The reason being that it was partial is because the cloned fruit was so damn unstable that if an average man were to consume even a small piece of it they will lose their minds to insanity. From what we could gather, the replicated fruit was nicknamed the demons extract because of its high risk of consuming the whole fruit will no doubt turn you into a mindless killing machine and eventually kill you, but esdeath had survived the ordeal and was semi-sane from it which was good enough.

And from what I heard she had managed to consume the whole thing even if it was force fed to her, the nobles had decided that she was too dangerous to keep around because of her viciousness as they were unable to approach her and have their way with her without losing something, so they decided to make her as a personal weapon for them to use instead.

Now that she was rescued by me, the clones and Olivier, her dark personality had suddenly done a 180 turn and became fiercely loyal towards us. To Olivier it was respect because she was stronger than her and was worthy to be her leader. To me… I have no idea what she thinks about me? I was acknowledged by her which was a good start, but she likes to stare at me in an awe of curiosity. To be honest the way she has been staring at me was actually pretty sweet of her and cute as well, which was odd because of her sadism. But the way her face tends to brighten up in a lightish red and her eyes shimmering at the sight of me ... should I be worried about this?

Anyway the second recruit looked promising since she looked like a born professional, and she was only 18years old. She goes by the name of Tia hallibel (Harribel?).

Tia hallibel, age 18, her height is at 5'7 so she is a bit taller than Esdeath. She comes from somewhere in west blue that is closer to the south blue that is apparently like a tropical island and she is equally as tanned as robin is except with a lighter shade. She has aqua coloured eyes, neck length golden blonde hair that has three braided locks that is hanging down her back.

Personality wise she was a cool/calm, level headed, taciturn and analytical kind of a young teenage girl to which I found that it was most impressive to find in a girl her age. However she does appear to be a very kind hearted girl as she disagrees with killing her opponent especially if it is for more power or simply because he was weakened or weak and that kind of sparked a heated argument between her and Esdeath as she accused Tia of being weak coward. The result entailed is that you do not want to make her angry as the fight/spar they had, ended in a draw between the two.

Tia also had a powerful fruit infused with her that was also a logia and that was the water fruit. Like Esdeath she can control surrounding water at will and can even turn her own body into water aswell so no physical attack can harm her.

So we had to eventually broke up the fight between them and forced them to make up, they did so reluctantly at first but they did accept one another in the end out of respect for them both it seems but clearly didn't respect their ideals.

The rest of the recruits looked pretty normal physically but there were some of them that were a bit mentally unstable as in they had dark personalities or they were psychopathic in a way that rivalled Esdeath's own mentality which we had t immediately take action against a few of them in order to calm them down.

One of them was a young woman with Spanish like name called Rosarita Cisneros also known as Roberta or Bloodhound as Olivier had called her. Yep it turns out that Roberta here is an infamous wanted terrorist of about 197milliion berries on her head, and she is what 18? That makes her the third most experienced out of all of us because technically I slightly overtook her in experience and I have fought in wars. Why she was wanted was because according to Olivier she was an ex Cipher Pol 9 agent gone rouge, and she was one of the best and she had slaughtered a whole couple of marine bases and a few important government offices and noble's homes in her rampage. That sort of information had me on edge at first as I was concerned with everyone's safety with having her on the island. But I decided to play it slow and steady and see if I can get a few answers from her.

Her personality unlike the other two with one of them being sadistic and the other calm and collected, Roberta was like Tia with a sense of bloodlust deep within her. However most of the time she has been here she has been either been acting like a mindless drone or she has one hell of a poker face.

You had to be very careful when dealing with dealing with special forces soldiers that can no doubt kill you when you least expect it, she was thankful that I saved her from the slavers but that didn't mean I have earnt her trust yet nor has she earnt mine due to an incident a few days ago that almost landed me in trouble with the inhabitants of the island.

(Flashback)

It all started back with one of our usual sparring exercises where we pit my clones against the girls to observe their CQC skill. So far Roberta was leading with Tia and Esdeath not to far behind along with a few others who were doing exceptionally well.

It was me and hank observing Roberta's match against 4 clones armed with batons and then she proceeded to thrash them effortlessly.

"She's good," hank mentioned to me

"I agree but there is something bothering me about her."

"How so?"

We were interrupted by the second spar that Roberta was pitted against a recruit who was also a promising recruit due to her hardworking and tenacity that had got her far. But Roberta had lost the plot and turned the tables by literally flipping it over against her opponent and brutally took her down by sweeping her legs by kicking the back of the kneecap with a force that would've shattered the bone on impact if it were an average person. She then mounted her opponent and started to pummel her face in.

"For fuck sake, ROBERTA STAND DOWN!" I shouted to her

Thankfully she listened and got off of her opponent.

"While you are an exceptional fighter I will admit but that does not mean that you can kill or cripple any of my promising recruits without reason, care to explain what had happened?" I asked her

She didn't answer and just simply walked off not even sparing a glance at me.

"Where are you going Roberta we are not finished with the training here?"

"Just a walk, need to cool my head." She said monotonously.

I sighed while pinching the bridge of my nose "alright bring her to the medic and get her healed up ASAP!." I pointed towards the injured recruit who was having difficulty breathing with her face heavily scarred and bruised and bleeding.

"What are we going do about her?" hank asked me

"I will go get her, just in case you come along too along with Sanford, Her mentality is concerning me." I said as I set out with Hank and Sanford

Not too far from the beach area we found Roberta wandering through a country road near a field that was filled with flowers. We kept out distance and observed for a while and so far we could see that she was clearly suffering through an emotional state of trauma from all of the tears that trailed down her face, her face hadn't cracked under all of the pressure it just stayed with the same dead look in her eyes and her face just remained emotionless, her body was also not trembling from the amount of sadness she was feeling.

"She's suffering from despair, should we be concerned about her state of mind." Hank said to me

"Leave her be for now, she needs time alone right now," I replied

"She could be potentially dangerous when she lashes out again, she mustn't hold in her emotions and she can barely keep a hold of her tears and her actions. All it takes is one push to send her spiralling out of control." Sanford pointed out.

"That's why we're here." I said back to sanford

We were brought out of our discussion by an interference that turned out to be 5 townie youths wondering out to the countryside and they were looking for trouble if their eyes leering lecherously at Roberta weren't an indication to what they were doing.

They approached her with their poor attempt at a charming smile while gazing at her chest area and backside more than the face.

They decided to carry on throwing more fuel to the fire giving out cat calls and wolf whistles.

"Hey Sexy ,how about we all go someplace more fun than this boring place. and we can take really good care of you, I promise It will be fun." one of them had so boldly or dared to even say that to her face with a stupid grin on his face.

"Ahhhhh fucking shite, those idiots are going to lose more than their virginity if they keep poking the lionesses den." I groaned with a hand smacking my forehead struggling to comprehend that I was sharing a world with men that are only capable with thinking with their junk and fists.

Her head was pointing down in a way that her eyes were shadowed by the bangs of her hair trailing down her forehead.

"Disgusting pigs, you disgrace the earth we stand by simply existing." She muttered coldly to them.

"EHHH! You damn bitch we are asking nicely here and you think you are some tough shit huh, well guess what ya whore you aint goin anywhere until you help satisfy our needs, with all of the shit going on you will do nicely to distract us from it!" He growled at her as he and his friends all surrounded her.

"get out of my way." She narrowed her eyes and galred at the cum ofa man in front of her dangerously.

"We aint going anywhere bitch, not until we have our fun." One of them said as he approached her from behind intending to grab her ass…bad move.

Roberta in all of her fury grabbed onto his hand and crushed it spewing out blood and fragments of bone of what's left of his hand as the man was unable to even let out a whimper or a cry as his face had frozen in agony.

The thugs had frozen at the spectacle for a few seconds until Roberta pulled the man's arm and spun round clocked his face with a haymaker with a force that disconnected his jaw with a couple of teeth flying out and sent the man flying straight into a tree 3 metres away. The force of the body that slammed into the tree had caused a lot of splinters to form than the the amount of bones broken from the thug.

The now 4 men had recovered from their shock and were quickly enraged at the state of their friend.

"You fucking bitch!" one of them had shouted out as he charged at her with a dagger slashing at her head. Roberta simply just ducked down and swiped his leg by grabbing onto them and flipping him in an 360 anti-clockwise flip that ended up with him landing roughly on his back. When the thug had opened his eyes from the impact he saw that Roberta had her right leg held up high and brought it down like an axe and smashed her heel down onto his trachea effectively severing it.

Another thug lunged at her with a dagger trusting towards her spleen. Roberta took no notice of the threat and simply grabbed onto the offenders hand and redirected the blade straight into the attacker's abdomen.

The 4th thug attempted to bring out a pistol to try and shoot her but Roberta pulled the knife/dagger out of the stabbed thug's abdomen and threw it at the gun wielding thug striking him in the centre of his forehead.

The 3rd thug that was stabbed was kneeling on the ground with apool of blood forming beneath him was now brought up to his feet by Roberta, he brought his face up to meet her cold gaze till she brought her hand up and pointed both her middle and index finger to his eyes. " Ni Shigan" she whispered before she jabbed the two fingers effortlessly into his eye sockets. His body was trashing by the fingers point of entry until she pulled them out and he collapsed on the floor with his body occasionally twitching.

She turned her head to the last thug who was standing there and it just so appered to be the thug who was running his mouth of earlier In his own arrogance. The man was standing there petrified with fear clutching his heart and mind as he saw the look of a wolf eyeing her pray.

But before she could strike we intervened by tackling her to the ground and Sanford restraining her arms behind her back and applying pressure to her back to prevent her from resisting while hank restrained her legs and me trying to keep her calm and preventing her body from resisting too much.

The last thug had snapped out of his petrified stupor and fumbled around for his gun that was tucked in behind his trousers but just as he was about to pull the pistol out the hammer of the pistol had caught onto his underwear and was preventing him from pulling it out while he was panicking. Just as he was about to free his pistol he looked back towards us and saw that me, Hank and Sanford had pulled our guns out from our holsters, me with the same Sequoia, Sanford with the desert eagle and hank with the modified M1911 with an extended barrel.

We never gave him a chance to fire the first shot as we emptied our clips and cylinder into the scumbag. The thug was riddled in holes that were big enough to shove your thumb in but if you looked round the back of the man… yeah we may have gone a bit over the top in using high powered pistol and magnums loaded with hollow point rounds.

"Ah crap, now we've done it." I groaned.

"Unhand me!" Roberta screamed from underneath us three.

"Simmer down first then we will consider it" I replied back to her calmly.

That response only made her more angry and difficult to deal with. And I have to say that her strength is ridiculous, almost superhuman like. If we ever gave her a chance, then she could easily knock all three of us of with simple push. What has the government been feeding this woman? and what is Cipher pol all about?

"What's going on here?! I heard gunshots!" a stern female voice called out.

I twisted my neck around behind me to see Olivier walking up to us and she was looking around the whole bloody scene.

"Just a minor insubordination and a massacre on a couple of civilians, we are so going to get it." I answered back with a frown etched onto my face. That frown soon disappeared as a couple of wanted posters were shoved into my face revealing that the men on the posters were in fact the men that Roberta had just massacred excluding the one guy me and the other two guys had massacred.

"Count yourselves lucky this time; these 5 as whole are wanted for two million berries. They ae not well known but they were reported by a fisherman down at the dock and we were told to be on the lookout earlier. I see that they have already been dealt with by the bloodhound herself for that matter, did you really think that she would slaughter innocent civilians for you to go so far as to restrain her, that takes a lot of guts to do that to someone like her." She said with a raised eyebrow.

"Oh." I said simply and when I looked down to see the enraged look on Roberta's face that would make any man bust their bladders from the amount of killing intent she was flooding out… 'yeaaaah, this is going to be a loooooong training session alright.' I sweat dropped at that thought, not the killing intent but it was very impressive mind you.

(Back to the present)

We had brought Roberta back to the main headquarters cabin we had built for ourselves and we placed it in a very secluded spot on Ohara that was away from prying eyes and it was deep in the forest where not many people go to.

Olivier decided not to intervene in our conversation saying that there was a bit of bad blood between the two of them and Roberta still felt a little bit tense against her so they were not at that point of forgiveness yet

So it was up to me to try and get through to her, after all I was a n amazing talker…. Even though I haven't really spoke to many people, But I will wing it anyway

After what seemed like the longest and tense 30 minutes of talking of trying to get through to her I have had so far, I finally managed to break through her impenetrable mask she has built up for herself and I did it with a force of charisma I never knew I had… or it could be luck I guess,either way I was glad to get through to her in the end.

Roberta who had kept her stone cold façade for such a long time throughout her brutal career had completely did a 180 degree turn and just broke down in tears of sorrow, she kept mentioning names of a family called the lovelace family whom apparently was murdered. She was on the run from the government when she defected almost 4 years ago and the lovelace family had took her in out of kindness and hired her as a housemaid. All was well until the government found her and assassinated the lovelace family just to lure her out of her hiding place. the results were exactly what they wanted as it sent Roberta into berserker mode and hunted down the killers of the family one by one. well it was what they wanted but they could've planned it better because they ended up losing a lot of manpower in subduing her, 14 officers were taken down and many grunts were brutalized. I had taken several captains and commodores and a vice admiral to even subdue her. To me, that was just poor planning and not worth the risk. I was told that the marines that were sent on the mission didn't know who she was and in their own ignorance had paid the price and yes the Cipher pol agents were present in her capture aswell but they didn't do a damn thing until the end. They wanted the marines to tire her out first until they would swoop in and take the glory for themselves while the grunts and the higher ups in the marines had to lick their wounds and bury the dead.

Glory hogging wasn't uncommon, in this world I have seen this kind of thing before. I was told that if anyone were to hog all of the credit that was put in by someone else who was doing the hard work will meet their end sooner rather than later in the most brutal way possible is what I have been told.

Now that I have cleared most of her depression and anger up I ended the conversation by holding her in my arms stroking the back of her head and saying calm and soothing words to her. To Roberta she would've thrown me off and stabbed a knife in my gut…but she hadn't. she flinched at the contact at first due to her lonely past. Instead of being angry she continued to sob in my shoulder. After a minute of calming her down I decided to wrap things up and head off with,but before I did that I said my final quote for the day which was a quote that I had always liked to hear when I first heard it. "Roberta I am truly sorry that you had to go through with all of that, I know I cannot do anything for you to ease the pain right now that you suffering from but in a world filled with misery and uncertainty, it is a great comfort to know that, there is light shining in the darkness. Find that light Roberta, it could very well save yourself from the pain." I said as I got up and headed up for the door. "I will be at the training ground if you are ready to resume training whenever you are ready." I said to her and she merely nodded while staring at me with tears pouring out of her eyes and filled with awe at those words I just said to her. It was probably the same I reaction I had when I first heard it. I never knew who said those words but they have helped me in some difficult situations of my own. Those words almost sounds like it came from a religious background of some sort but I was never one for that sort of thing I prefer to steer clear from that area. But those words have definitely caused an impact on her; hopefully she can find her light in the darkness.

After the long walk we had I made my way back to the training ground. When I left the door I noticed that the clouds were breaking up and the outside had started to brighten up. "Huh it was supposed to rain today, well it doesn't matter more training for us." I said as I clapped my hands together.

(Roberta's 3rd POV)

Roberta watched as my CO left through the door after he said those words to me. 'a light shining in the darkness?… I must find my light. But where can I find it' she thought to herself as she walked up to the window and watched Marcus walking up the path. It was dark outside through all of the dark clouds above the island no doubt it was going to rain. But at that moment something peculiar happened, the clouds had opened up and a beam of light had rained down onto the young man known as Marcus and illuminated the area around him.

Her eyes widened slightly more than before she first reacted to this sight when she saw more clouds were opening up for the beams of light to shine down onto the same spot he was standing on. She could not find the right words to explain what was happening. 'I have only known this man for nearly two months so why am i feeling so drawn to him. Do I deserve a second chance after all I have done, all of the innocents I have slain by my own hand?' She thought to her self with her hand pressed up against the window and tears forming out of her eyes.

She then saw Marcus turning around and saw Roberta looking at him through the window. He then raised his arm and held out his hand and mouthed out a "let's go." While he was smiling reassuringly.

Roberta whose cheeks were now lighting up at the sight before her and at this man's kindness. ' My light…my redemption. Could he be the one who can save me from my suffering?' She thought to herself while she was now walking towards the doors that lead her to him. She held out her hand to the door handle and opened it. The light temporarily blinded her but her eyes had focused back to normal and she saw him standing there waiting for her.

She stood at the door way still inside the dark room,still uncertain whether to follow him until she felt a push behind her back that forced her out of the door and into the light. She turned around and saw that no one was in the room.

"Are you coming?" she heard Marcus calling out for her.

She turned around and took a few seconds to decide her answer and eventually she nodded her head and walked towards her CO.

As Roberta walked closer to Marcus, she saw his smile up close and she could not help the blush forming up on her face. "I am glad you have decided to come out of your shell, maybe in due time you will find that li-… are you okay your face is lighting up really bright red all of a sudden."

Roberta's breath had hitched and covered up her face, she then quickened up her walking pace into a speed walk that could be mistaken for sprinting with the pace her legs were going at were like a blur.

"wait… what? What did I do?" Marcus had asked himself while scratching the back of his hand.

Not too far away from Marcus was the trio of Marcus's top clones Hank,Sanford, Deimos and Olivier herself had witnessed the scene with the clones with their jaws open and their eyes widened and Olivier had her face set to a comical deadpan just staring at the scene.

"Olivier?" said hank.

"yes."

"what did you say Roberta was again."

"Roberta is renowned as the Bloodhound of Cipher Pol back in marineford, responsible for the assassinations and destruction of many political figures and recently towards the marines and the world government and Nobles. she has slaughtered hundreds if not thousands of many man,woman and child both guilty and innocent."

"But apparently she is still human enough to blush like a love-struck schoolgirl." Hank had pointed out and caused Olivier's eyebrow to twitch in irritation.

"Lucky bastard…oblivious, but lucky bastard." Deimos muttrd to himself

"Why would you call him lucky, Did you not hear what I just said about her? She is dangerous." Olivier narrowed her eyes down at Deimos who just shrugged back at her.

"So? There is plenty of other examples of crazy psycho chicks within our recruits, what's your point?" Deimos had shot back at her.

Olivier did not say a word as she was avoiding his eyesight and watching Marcus walk up the path and then she had a faint but noticeable blush forming up on her face. Unfortunately it was noticed.

"You llllllliiiike him don't you~. Deimos sang out while rolling his tongue in a way that a certain blue talking cat in another universe would be proud of and smiling evilly.

Oliver drew her sword in a flash and slashed a tree that was close to Deimo's head and split the tree in half vertically. Deimos looked towards his side that the tree had been cut in half and looked back at Olivier who was pointing her saber right in his face.

"Err; okay I understand you are concerned about your subordinate's safety I understand." Deimos said nervously holding out his hands in a peaceful motion as he was looking at the cold fury in her eyes that emanated an icy blue colour that had promised pain.

"Hmph!" Oliver sheathed her sword and crossed her arms. "Nevertheless she is a danger that needs to be observed."

Hank and Sanford were both thinking the same thing 'typical tsundere behaviour, oh shit marcus what have you created.' They both thought as they both had deadpans and a sweat drop forming

"Give her a chance." Sanford spoke out calmly. "As hank had said, she had just acted like a human when you dubbed her as a dangerous monster. Monsters do not act like that from what we have seen. I think we should leave this matter to Marcus and trust him on this."

Olivier stared at Sanford who was quiet for some time and eventually she nodded reluctantly. "Alright I will trust your insight on this. But I will be keeping my eye on her." She said sternly "now get back to training you three!"

"Yes mam!" said all three clones.

(Back to Marcus)

Okay now that we have cleared that mess up and the good news is that Roberta had apologised for her reckless actions to her opponent and fellow recruit. The opponent who was still slightly miffed about the whole thing but accepted it and just used the whole farce she had suffered from as an excuse to getting stronger, Which now lead me to my next problem 2 weeks later.

(2 weeks later)

"So explain to me again shizuka, a whole 4 pack of Buffout I had specifically said not to make was stolen. Am I missing anything from that so far." I enquired to shizuka who was shifting in her seat.

Shizuka shifted in her seat nervously and poked her fingers meekly and pouted in a cute way. "well… there were a few syringes missing from the psycho crates."

"So this has been going on for the past two weeks, well it is obvious that we will know who the culprit is, just look out for the people who meet the descriptions of the hulk."

"That is a bit over exaggerating Commander Marcus; I was only experimenting with the Buffout to lessen the effects of addiction and to help increase the muscle development and not in a rate that will deform the body in a hideous way." She pouted not liking her work to be compared to mere body destroying steroids.

"That's steroids for you, but I am not convinced of what makes this one any different from the rest. I will believe it when I see it."

*Knock Knock!*

"Come in!~" shizuka said pleasantly.

"Ano, Dr Marikawa?" said a recruit who appeared to be one of my best and promising recruits and the one who was injured from Roberta, but I must have been oblivious over the past two weeks when I saw her walking in. the last time I saw her two weeks ago after the incident she was around about my height, now she is nearly at Sanford's height.

"Ah commander, I didn't see you there." She said as she hastily saluted at me, to which I did in return.

The recruits name was Sofia Valmet who was an ex-marine captain dishonourably discharged after her team was killed in action and she was blamed for their deaths to which she had developed survivors guilt about it. I won't go over the details but I think she took up a mercenary contract with an arms dealer; it was either that or settle down in a civilian lifestyle. In my opinion she chose right because for a soldier fighting is what they do best and I don't think she would last long until she eventually snaps from the PTSD from her failed mission.

Now the Valmet in front of me has somehow become an Amazonian warrior that she physically built herself up as. She wasn't too heavily built like a female body builder thank god. But to be honest it seemed to complement her. She was Slender in frame with a slim waist, flared hips, taut buttocks, and broad shoulders; she also sports a well-toned and lightly muscular build. At the same time, she is considered a very attractive woman with a curvaceous and developed figure with well-endowed breasts… err I do not know where that came from.

She has dark hime hair style with her hair down to her shoulder and her eyes are narrow shaped and they are yellow in colour. But she appears to be wearing an eyepatch over her right eye, more than likely it was from that mission.

"It's nice to see you too Valmet, but could you explain to me why you are suddlenly 6'3 in height when you were recorded as 5'11. I Replied back with a smile that meant she was caught red handed.

Valmet was now sweating nervously "Errr, sudden growth spurt." She said sheepishly

"Valmet you are 20 years old, there would be hardly any growing happening at that age after you turn 16. Tell me the truth, did you take the chems from Dr Marikawa" I said sternly.

"H-hai, it was me." she admitted.

"Why did you take them anyway?"

"After the incident with Roberta I had come to a conclusion that I was still too weak, too weak to face him."

"Who is that person that you are referring to?"

"I do not know his name but only that he wears a black suit and wields dual custom pistols with bayonets fixed on the bottom of the barrels."

"I have heard of a secret service branch of the world government who wear mostly black suits as their uniform from Roberta it could be a possibility that you may have encountered them."

"Maybe but I am not sure."

"Is that why you have taken the chems to boost up your performance."

"Yes, I have actually come here for more."

"Ah Valmet san as your medic and doctor I'm afraid I have to forbid you from taking anymore Buffout." Shizuka interjected

"Erm may I ask why, it has helped me plenty and i haven't faced any side effects or felt any uncomfortable pains besides the training exercises."

"For the past two weeks yes there were no problems for you but if you keep on taking them later on then you could potentially destroy your body in the long run."

"Oh… right."

"How do you feel right now?" I asked her

"Although this is considered cheating I feel much better than before. My muscles feel light and not bulky and cumbersome but I can feel the power that is compressed inside theses muscles, I also still retain my flexibility in this body."

"Hmm, interesting perhaps we could test this out."

So we headed to the sparring area located on a secluded beach away from civilisation where we usually train. I spawned in a few clones of 4 armed with simple batons and nightsticks and wearing black combat trousers and a white t-shirt.

"Any preferred melee weapon you would like." I asked her

"A knife would suffice" she answered.

"A knife?... I thought you would've gone for bigger considering a woman of your size."

Valmet looked at me accusingly." Has anyone ever told you that you should never mention anything about a woman's appearance in front of them?"

"Not really, been raised for the military most of my life. Why'd you ask though?"

Shizuka sighed and shook her head while Valmet just sweatdropped. "Commander pointing out the appearance and age of a woman sometimes offends the woman if you do that. also it's common sense."

"Really? I've always been called pretty boy bastard back in boot camp and the Military academy. I didn't seem to mind it because I saw it as banter and they were just having a laugh.

"Not necessarily true, your friends did joke about it but everyone else wasn't joking about that name and they literally meant it as an insult."

"Why's that?"

Well.. How should I put this. From what I could gather from your memories they called you that because they were angry that you were stealing all of the girls and women's attention away from them.

"Wait seriously?"

"Yep. I can see why the females liked what they saw though. You are definitely a looker. Wouldn't you say so Valmet." She ogled me in a alluringly way while teasing Valmet who was blushing after that comment and looked elsewhere feeling embarrassed to respond to that.

I could not help but blush madly at that, damn I felt like such a preteen back in high school.

"Well… thank you. Although I will admit that it is all because of my training that I was forced to commit to by my father and uncle that I have a severe lack of knowledge and experience with women? Now that I think about it I have seen those faces light up red before, does that mean anything?

Shizuka giggled at my innocent question even though I am I a highly trained soldier. "Oh my, you are indeed a bit too old to be learning about women at your age."

"oh shut up, it's just a question" I shot back feeling a bit irritated that I being teased at.

"Hai hai, no need to be so antsy about it. Now when a girl or woman's face lights up red like a blush it means that she has feelings for you whenever you compliment or say something in an affectionate way to them or you are doing something that they find attractive."

"Feelings,attractive? You mean…love?"

"Precisely, you caught on quick."

I now stood frozen on where I was. Why? Because i recalled that there have been a lot of recruits that were blushing whenever they looked at me, even the most dangerous and strongest ones were. Hocha was also involved in this as well even though she nearly blew my face off with a musket. But there couldn't be anything that could top that…right? Oh wait... shit!

My general has feelings for me.

I blame my hormones as to why I could not think straight because I could not for the life of me think up of something that could solve this dilemma. Well that certainly did explain why I had multiple death threats from the boys in the academy and some of the boys were actually hell-bent in killing me which was a bit extreme but nothing I couldn't handle. Some guy even told me to stay away from a girl named Lucy who I have no idea who she was or else there will be trouble; I only waved back to some of the girls along with a friendly smile while saying a friendly hello, what's wrong with that? If I were to guess they may have been the boyfriends or stalkers depending on how they approach things.

But now I have most of the potentially dangerous and lethal female platoon members that has a major crush on me. Somehow I seem to attract danger everywhere I go.

I remember some three lads back in the academy mentioning living a dream of having their very own harem, yeah good luck with that one lads. Sooo… is the situation I'm in like was what he had meant, am I living every man's dream? To them it would be unfair, to me it's like playing with fire.

"Erm are we going to get started" said Valmet snapping me out of my thoughts

"Yea sure" I spawned in a modern looking KA-BAR knife still in the sheath and tossed it to her, "Begin whenever you are ready."

Valmet nodded in confirmation and then the clones commenced their attack as they dashed towards her in a pincer formation. The clones were decent in their attack, good power and adequate speed for a melee fighter so it should provide a good challenge to her.

However from what I read from the reports of her performance she was behind Roberta and the gap between them was quite a large one. but after the recent power buff she had been taking she should stand a pretty good chance against her now.

Valmet had deflected an oncoming baton swing directed towards her head with her knife throwing off the balance of her foe and another clone swiped towards her abdominal area in order to stun her but Valmet countered by striking his hand with the pommel of her knife disarming him and fracturing the middle and ring knuckle. The clone grunted by didn't fall back and pressed on with the attack only for Valmet to knee him in his mid-section and deflecting another swing that was aimed for her back. The clone was thrown off balance and Valmet took that chance to attack and like a coiling snake she sprung up to the clone and made two cuts across both of his legs that were exposed at the back and that was like cutting paper effortlessly with a knife just seeming to glide through the paper.

The clone just collapsed from the immobilization that Valmet had caused.

One of the clones had tried to get the jump on her but she caught his strike mid swing and simply threw him to another person that tried the same but was at the other side of her. The impact of when they both hit each other had sent them in a daze temporarily.

The last clone had recovered from the stun that he took to his mid-section had rushed towards her to kick her in the back when she least expects it. But Valmet caught his leg by sidestepping him and grabbing onto the leg with her knife hand and delivered a haymaker to his face.

I had to give her kudos for that performance, who knew that we could effectively train up a former malnourished slave into a force to be reckoned with.

Then I saw the other two clones had recovered and charged at her simultaneously when her back was turned. Vamet knew they were coming despite that they were attacking her right side where her eyepatch was obscuring her injured vision so that would leave her at a disadvantage but from what I have seen it didn't seem to bother her in the slightest.

Time seemed to slow down from the anticipation and tension I was feeling because Valmet was just simply standing there, why? I know she can easily counter or dodge this, Shizuka knows it as well, what is she planning?

It didn't take long until I had my answer where I heard a whisper and valmet's form had just simply vanished and a second later reappeared behind the shocked and bewildered clones until they were both struck in the back of their heads, knocking them out unconscious.

Now I was surprised we were not supposed to lean that yet and valmet has already learnt before me and the rest of us excluding Roberta and Olivier.

"Valmet?... Who taught you that move? Or did you already know it?" I asked her

Valmet trialed her eyes elsewhere and nervously laughed. "erm as part of an apology Roberta made it up to me and taught me how to use ttwo of the rokushiki,"

One is the Soru for what I have already seen, and the other?

"Tekkai" she answered

I sighed at that news "I really need to learn the Rokushiki."

(Three weeks later)

Turns out good things do come to those who wait patiently. Olivier with the assistance of Roberta had taught me and the girls some of the most crucial forms of the Rokushiki. Or the ones that I considered to be the most important.

The first was the Soru, a swift and agile speed technique that lets me dash over to my enemies in an instant that uses explosive leg power that can allow me to move in a flash. I can already tell that this move will definitely be a life saver. But it was very painful at first trying to push my legs to the limit.

The second form was a defensive technique called Tekkai that somehow reinforces the skin to that of an iron wall. If we could use this move then what would be the point of body armour? Well I wasn't that confident enough to test that theory out thank you very much. This move had been a massive pain in my arse because of the amount of injuries had taken place while building up out Endurance.

The next was another movement technique called Geppo which confuses the hell out of me as much as the other two as it is physically impossible to kick off using nothing but air as a boost. And why was the name Geppo in English which stands for moonwalk or moon step in the literal meaning is named after a famous dance move from the king of pop himself way back in the 20th - early 21st century of earth?, that's really ironic.

Rankyaku was an offensive move that uses the legs again but launches a pressurized air projectile that's launched from your legs and forms into a slicing wind. Martial artists are going to have a field day with this.

The next was an assassination technique that caused many broken fingers named the shigan which is a CQC move that requires a finger to penetrate the body and no not in that way,ergh!

But when Deimos caught onto that misunderstanding of the meaning he went and said out loud to Roberta and said "yeah I'll finger blast you alright if you catch my drift." And Roberta who was teaching at the time gave him a threat of a shigan to his manhood if he does not take it seriously.

Deimos is cool and all but goddamn that he doesn't piss people off just for a laugh.

The last of six is a move called kami-e, okay this one is just flat out weird. You have to relax your body in order for it to go limp and then it will move like paper and it will naturally avoid the opponent's attacks. How can I ignore my body's instinctual motive to dodge an attack so I could relax and go with the flow?

Yeaaaa I'm opting for an alternative method for that move and some others if there are any, I think Olivier might know some.

Okay so that's all of the six moves confirmed that makes up the rokushiki, but there is a final move that can be done if you are able to do if you master all six of the moves. It is called the rokuogan but that one is apparently a rumour because of its rarity and difficulty to master.

I will come back to that one later.

Now that I have been taught on how to do those moves all I have to do now is master them separately and bring them to a substantial level that can help me survive against the big shots and any strong opponents.

With training going smoothly and business with the PMC work with the island in the defence of it was good and the people did not seem to complain much. but I couldn't help but think that there was not much defence on the island there to actually put up a decent effort in intimidation and firepower. The pirates that arrived here before were ridiculously weak from what I have now noticed that if I had received the training that I have got now then the invasion would've been a one sided massacre with no fatalities on my side.

It only goes to show that the training that I had with the rangers could only go so far. I now knew that I was still a little green in some areas. Well at least I have gotten the right teacher and leader to show me the way.

Now onto the defence plans. The clones themselves cannot defend an island from another invasion with guns and manpower alone, we are going to need to fortify this place.*sigh* how am i going to do that when it is going to end up drawing unwanted attention from both the outside and in.

I need to discuss this with the rest of the lads and Olivier about this.

(30 minutes later)

"I can understand where you are coming from but it's going to be very taxing own your body not to mention time consuming in just buffing the islands defences on your own." Hank stated

"is it possible if I can split a pice of my power and give to another clone so he can use the same power I have?" I asked hank.

"Technically no a clone can't exactly inherit the power of the fruit itself that the original has power over. Plus we can't handle the strain of power that was already given to us for living and breathing to give us a piece of your fruit along with the creation will cause that clone to die from the strain,it's like consuming a second fruit of whatever these people are calling it."

"What about an object?" Olivier gave her input.

"Pardon?" hank blinked at that. "could you clarify on what you just said I could'vesworn you said object."

Olivier rolled her eyes. "you heard exactly what I said. Even though it is common knowledge that the fruit is eaten by either a human or an animal. But recent studies and experimentation has shown that it is possible for a simple object to eat a fruit or in a more specific sense to infuse a devil fruit to an inanimate object." She explained

"The hell? I don't know whether to be amazed or smack myself back into reality because that is… *snaps fingers!*BLOODY BRILIANT!" I yelled out excitedly causing everyone to blink.

"Think about it, objects aren't alive are they? So if I can spawn in the clones that can use these tools then problem solved we have a mobile weapons manufacturer and constructor in our hands." I said to them.

Hank lit up at the explanation." Yeah,I think that could actually work. Question is what is the tool going to be?" hank asked?

"Hmm good question?"

"Pipboy." Sanford said all of a sudden and everyone's attention was on him.

"We need a computer as a brain to hold the information and design for the object and clone in order to be created by the tool, the tool should be one that assists in building and fixing things like a hammer or a welder." Sanford explained.

"Pipboy and welder it is then."

"Keep the clones at a minimum of 7 because a Pipboy is pretty expensive and quite complex as it is." Said Hank

"I know enough about them besides I'm only using the earlier models but a bit more upgrade than the original models. So they should perform better. All right here it goes." I said as I was readying myself.

"wait, how do I do this anyway?"

"try imagining splitting apart your power and implementing it into said object."

I did what he said and began focusing on that Pipboy that is connected to a welding gun. I got the layout al sorted now I needed the appropriate clone for the job.

And out from the flames came a clone wielding a Pipboy that's connected to a welding gun. That clone's apparel was that of a combat engineer or pioneer wearing a welding mask on his face with a visor that is slightly dimmed around his eyes excluding his nose and mouth area which was protected by metal and did not look bulky and fitted his face quite comfortably. On his back was a backpack carrying a container or battery to be precise that contains the part of the devil fruits power that functions the pip boy and welder/constructor.

He lifted up his protective visor." You need something built?" he said to me.

"just to testing a theory,can you build something through that?" I asked him.

"Absolutely, observe. " he shut his visor and aimed the welding gun and a red beam of flame with a black outline was projected out of the gun and in less than a second it had instantly constructed a Glock pistol straight from a welding gun.

"oh ho ho ho! we struck gold people." I cheered and a mad like grin was plastered on my face. 'this seriously reminds me of one of those RTS games where you can construct things from the construction units out of nothing but the money that you were given.'

"That is truly impressive, although I have noticed that it took slightly longer to make than Marcus's own spawns." Hank pointed out.

"True point but in bulk we have solved mass production and now I can finally take it easy because spawning constantly every so often is very tiring. Also I have question for the pioneer, can the energy recharge itself inside that battery container" I asked the Pioneer.

"Yes sir." He replied

"Alright we are now officially in business, now let's discuss on the defence plans shall we." I turned and announced to everyone else.

(Interval)

After a long discussion we had finally decided that we should keep the defence plans in the dark in case of a public outcry, point being is that quite a few people were still quite upset about the whole pirate incident and had developed a lack of trust against outsiders or Xenophobia to be more accurate. The only people who knew about our plans were the archaeologists and the mayor of Ohara who accepted reluctantly as he did not like to be keeping secrets from his people but he did agree that it will bring more trouble if they did know, one of them could run their mouths off to someone outside of Ohara and that someone could inform the wrong types of people.

Furthermore our PMC work is going along quite nicely. What the job entails is for us to patrol the seas on our assault boats near Ohara like what a coast guard does, pretty simple job. Occasionally we may encounter pirate wannabe's who have never handled a weapon much in their lives or they just suck in general, let's just say they make quite the learning experience for our recruits who were most eager to learn the ways of warfare from me and Olivier. Even though I was reluctant in having them trained from soldiers who have a lot of blood on their hands they can still look so innocent and cute like a pupil eager to learn from their teacher or it could be the thrill of the fight that is affecting them.

It was like sending innocent lambs to fight a pack of malicious and bloodthirsty wolves. And I was referring to the pirates for the former; the latter however had gotten seriously strong in the past few months of training. I had expected some of the girls to hesitate as I thought it would be a first blood kind of situation but most of them had handled it well like Roberta, Tia and Valmet who had handled it like professionals. Two of them had done this kind of dirty work before so they were fine and Tia had her fair share of seeing death so it might have affected her personality in a sort of good way to that of a calm and collected type of person who was headstrong in overcoming her obstacles.

Esdeath methods were a bit too extreme but that was due to her sadistic nature and lack of empathy for the weak, poor bastards never stood a chance. Her swordplay had excelled to level that where she would be considered a noteworthy swordsman but she still had quite a way to reach Oliviers level. Out of all of the recruits that were eager to learn through battle experience, Esdeath had triumphed over all of them with her enthusiasm in destroying her and my enemies. Not to mention whenever I praise her on a job well done she acts like what a little sister does whenever her Onii-chan praises her and said sister has a big brother complex. That bro/sis con aside I did now sort of understand why she does blush in my presence.

Some time ago she decided to give love a try which was incredibly sweet, but she was really picky on her choice of men who she meets were either massacred or down on their feet licking her boots clean,lovely. That is until I found out why she has fallen for me, apparently I found out that I meet most of the criteria on her list.

Number one is that I do have a well of untapped ability that can be moulded to that of a high ranking class like a general or admiral rank, ok I will admit that people do have high expectations of me.

Number two is that I am a fearless person who can smile at the face of danger and can hunt down the most dangerous individuals and species without her, if that's her idea of romance then who am I to judge.

Number three is that I am not a local of her home and I was raised on a foreign island and also including a lost man through time for 800+ years to boot, oh yea I have definitely met that requirement.

Number four was that she is into younger guys like me who is still 17 coming up to 18 in two more months. I don't think I will accept her being under her command as it just wouldn't work out and Olivier would object to it but Esdeath seemed to accept that and let that one go.

And number five was something I had a hard time believing, she would like an innocent looking man or boy with a pure heart, bullshit I am! What gave her the impression that I looked like that. But then again Sanford and Deimos pointed out that I had a one of a kind smile that no matter the situation I just had to smile and laugh wholeheartedly. Yea that must be it, it must be the family trait that I have inherited that she probably finds so attractive.

After learning that I had to be extra weary around her because nobody has taught her what happens in a relationship and she follows her own ideas of what it may be, and I am not willing to find that out myself.

Moving on. Her devil fruit was insanely powerful along with Hallibel's own. Sometimes she may just gut an entire ship with a giant spike impaling through the ship stopping it completely so we could board it and decimate the crew that way.

Although we have met Pirates more frequently we have encountered a few bandits on a few islands that we have visited nearby which ended just about the same as every other encounter with pirates.

With all of the odd jobs coming our way from a few clear ups of pirates, bandits, marauders, raiders and all sorts of scum to a few escort protection missions. That gave us a nice sum of money that will be enough to set me up for a nice house here and be enough to support a large family.

Money wasn't an issue for me and the pioneers to spawn in tons of resources and weapons to build this island into a fortress, the issue was that we had to conceal most of the defensive perimeters and weapons from the outside.

Until a sudden idea had popped up in my head, there was that cavern underneath the island so why not build a base underneath the island. That could actually work I can build tunnels that connects to all over the island. However there was a problem with that.

What about that fish demon?

Personally I'd rather not face it again but I am a hell of a lot stronger than last time. I think for the time being we should leave it be for now. Besides there is plenty of space to construct a base directly above it so we shouldn't need to go to the lower levels and kill it just yet, or we could possibly keep it for something else.

So me and a group of pioneers who were dressed in a appropriate apparel for a miner (Killzone 3 Helghast miner) were tasked to construct the base in the caverns while digging through the walls in order to reach all over the island, but we didn't want to have sudden sinkholes that could cave in directly underneath someone's house so we had to install support beams and reinforced walls that can keep the ceiling steady above our heads. Explosives were too loud so we had to use pickaxes and sledgehammers to smash and pick our way through the stone and earth. But regular tools would just take way too long and would break easily through the abuse but not to worry I had that covered by spawning in supercharged sledge hammers (Fallout 4 super sledge and red faction guerrilla sledgehammer) that delivers around a 1000 pound of kinetic force that can smash just about anything with ease.

After shaping out the underground base we constructed multiple armouries, a vehicle bay and a dockyard that connects to the cavern entrance that was caved in but has a camouflaged door that looks like a cliff face or a pile of earth. I turned down the idea for an airstrip or helipad because of the attention that they will bring.

The vehicle bay also functions as a factory that will construct all of the necessary equipment I need to defend this island in secret. The dockyard also works the same way but there is a major lack of space so I am only limited to assault boats and minisubs like the one I have.

The minisub that was currently parked in the dockyard was now fully repaired and most of the ice has been removed from the cavern.

What I was constructing for the island's defences would include tanks that were cheap, durable and easy to make. Now I could've gone for the third generation tanks but they were expensive on me and more time consuming for the pioneers. So I decided to go for the cold war tanks and selected the T-72B main battle tank with the model that had the most modifications and improvements done also fittes with a DSHK heavy machine gun. Also along with the LAV-25 with the tow missile launcher as it's secondary weapon and a mounted M2 Browning.

Mobile artillery were also built separately but they had to be transported throughout different parts of the island, namely inside the forests, the large hills and the multiple crag rocks that can be concealed in and by what we men of that is that we carved out the inside of the hill and crag rocks so we can fit a either a Pill box inside or an artillery emplacement inside and could only be used whenever the camouflage doors open so they could fire out of it. We marked places that would be an excellent defensive position so we also made pop up turrets just so we could hide them better when it is covered up by foliage, the turrets include AA batteries like the ZU-23-2, the Bofors 40mm that could either be operated manually or can be controlled by a remote that can be toggled on or off (The type that Fps Russia used in his video on YouTube) and a Flak 88mm gun with armour plates to protect the gunners. These guns will be the anti-armour/personnel guns designed to tear apart ships and the crew wether they are or on board or on land. What's next is the long range artillery which will be a mixture of big to small starting with the M777 howitzer and the L118 light howitzer and the good old rocket artillery from a soviet Russian Bm21 Grad or as I and everyone else I knew liked to call it the katyusha. There will also be multiple machine gun nests that have been set up all over the island but now it is currently empty, when the time calls for it there will be hundreds of clones or even a thousand that will be moving through the tunnel network to get to their designated positions. This tactic was used n ww2 by the Japanese and the Vietkong in the Vietnam war something that I intend to use to its fullest ability.

There are multiple doors that are camouflaged by the terrain and when they open and a lift will lift up the artillery and anti-air/armour guns into the open for them to engage. The other doors that are meant for the infantry self-constructs a metal plated bunker with reinforced steel that will pop up out of the ground and will open up to the tunnel network for an infantry squad to man the machine gun nests and bunkers but they can also serve as mortar pits.

But then I decided that it wasn't enough and that we needed a costal gun, hank thought I was crazy and said where the hell are we going to fit one of those and we can't construct an elevator strong enough to lift it above ground. And that I should collaborate with the other pioneers to construct one of these guns as I didn't have enough power to spawn one in, well I now do but spawning one in is about an equivalent of 8 M777 howitzers it's just that I need to conserve more energy elsewhere.

So then we decided to install several 16 inch coastal guns but we could only fit a single gun in the many crag rocks that were big enough to fit one inside, I also installed a self-loading mechanism to reduce the load time and an elevator that connects to the tunnel network in the crag rock that will transport the munitions so they wouldn't run out.

Sanford had suggested that there needs to be a factory that constructs power armour because we are in need for heavy infantry, something which I agreed with and spawned in 23 clones in T45D power armour,14 in t-51C power armour,7 in t-60 power armour and 3 in the x-01 power armour. Spawning in the clones was nothing but the power armour with it had cost as nearly enough to eighteen T72 tanks and 30 IFVs worth of them.

Some of the t-45 and 51 power armours were fitted with jetpacks in order for them to serve a role as shock and awe troopers. While the t-60 and x-01 were fitted with titanium plating, motion assisted servos, hydraulic bracers and the arms are armed with either wrist mounted rocket launchers, flamethrowers and a .45 acp machine guns. And for the legs on all of them were just simply calibrated shocks.

The weapons that they can be armed with are the miniguns with either an accelerated barrel or a tri barre and also fitted with a gunners sight, missile launchers and javelin, a grenade machine gun, a semi-automatic anti material rifle, flamethrowers with a setting that go into heavy incinerator mode that can throw fireballs at the enemy, a gauss rifle which was as close as we could get to energy weapons at the moment and saving the best for last a mother**** fatman. Most of the weapons were modified so we could get the highest performance out of them.

I only spawned them in just to start us off but I only wanted to test their capabilities in combat, the pioneers can handle the rest.

Normally this would take me about a year or more to set up a fully functional fortress as complex as this but I cut that down straight to 1 and a half months of reshaping the earth under the island and spawning a vast amount of weapons and equipment. By the time I was done I could feel that my power capacity has been increased vastly due to that workout.

(Interval)

Months later through the gruelling training program regimeit is finally done. Months almost coming to a full year of blood sweat and tears mixed with cries of agonising torture with torn muscle tissue, fractured and dislocated bones from the spars and training exercise practicing the Rokushiki . No matter how much we wanted to stop we would be forced to do another in case we did, but that wouldn't deter Olivier from doing it anyway. If we were injured we would just get fixed up and thrown back out to carry on with the training. The Rokushiki exercises were by far the worst, forcing my body to the tipping point of my limit and pushing it further would've crippled me with the Soru, tekkai , Geppo and Rankyaku. I ve ended with a broken finger multiple time practicing the Shigan and kami-e was really hard to get used without tensing my muscles. I feared it could've taken longer without those chems assisting me, the girls and the clones.

But after my journey through the meat grinder, it had finally paid itself off. My shooting skills have been greatly sharpened and my aim is second to none. Melee combat has been improved to the point I could hold my ground against the many skilled sword masters but I may still struggle in that area. Unarmed combat is and endurance was where most of my training was focused at. Apparently there are people in the grand line sea who can fight at superhuman levels to the point that they would leave craters in their wake and all you could see were blurs, and it would only get more dangerous the further you travel.

My Power capacity for my fruit has tripled since I first started and would cost much less to spawn in a single clone wearing a full Kevlar body armour wielding a fully automatic LMG, to me and the clones the armour weighed about nearly nothing, seriously I could even sprint in an EOD suit and still wouldn't break a sweat or even feel slightly winded.

Work as the PMC for Ohara had been fairly decent but mostly quiet around the island so far. Most of the attention was being focused on the grand line according to Olivier many pirates are setting out for the grand line in an effort to obtain the pirate king's legendary treasure One Piece. Personally I don't really see what the whole fuss was about behind this treasure, it's just a means for the greedy to fight over it and for some to attempt take the whole lot for themselves and the crewmates would get nothing in return for all of their hard work they put into it, hell from I have heard many people have died trying. But for some it could be a great experience for the adventurous that is willing to go so far despite the dangers. Okay I will admit that the adventure part does sound quite fun but that's just me.

My relationships with the people on Ohara was still quite tense as some people still didn't like me because they thought of me as a danger to them. Fortunately many people had accepted me but didn't make any attempts of any friendships so we were just neutral and that is fine by me. The Mayor was very helpful during our stay as he kept us up to date with what is happening on the outside and will supply us with income with any jobs or contracts that come through.

The Archaeologists were about the only people we could call friends on this island as we both shared our history with each other. They explained what had happened during the founding of the world government and what had happened with all of the 20 kingdoms. Apparently the top dogs of the world government were run by 5 men called the Gorosei and they are stationed at the holy city of Mariejois which is where their headquarters were at. Additionally that where all of the royal families of the 20 kingdoms were at as well, but only 19 of them had gone to the holy city way up top of the red line while one stayed in their own country. To my surprise it was the Nefertiti family, I still couldn't fathom the fact that they attacked us, they disliked fighting. From what I have learnt about them now they don't seem to be that bad and it was just me being paranoid. But that does not mean that I would forgive them.

But from what I have found out about the descendants of the 20 royal families, they have grown overly arrogant and dependant on their own titles to do what they want. No matter how evil t was it wouldn't matter to them because their crimes will just be excused. Even the one thing that is heavily despised such as slaver is legal in their eyes. What makes it worse is that they are protected by the defenders of justice themselves, it's fucking outrageous.

My friendship with Robin was going along great, but I think Robin sees me more of a big brother role model which I found really sweet. Most of the time she could be found either in the library with her archaeologist friends or at beach with me and the gang but lately she has been focusing more recently on revision for the entry exams for joining the archaeologists, the girl is certainly aiming high that's for sure.

But the one thing that has definitely over the whole training was Oliver and the rest of the girls. I may now have a more open mind to the opposite sex and become more mature but I cannot help but feel that something is going to happen in the near future, not the dangerous kind but something more?... I can't really explain it?

Ah well it's not my problem as of yet.

Now after the nice trip down memory lane I now have work to do, got some pirates to shoot a little sister to spoil and supervise the clones and the girls today.

Ohara may not be my home but some the people on here were like a family, a family what makes Ohara worth protecting from the evils out there…lurking…lingering. But quiet it was on the island. No news happened that was noteworthy just some upstart pirate rascals causing trouble, nothing to be raise an eyebrow at.

And Tricky? He hasn't even tried anything as of yet. Sanford informed me of his intentions that concerned me. it's almost as if he was watching me from the shadows. But I could not understand him, he obviously knows where I am so why has he not made his move after all this time? He could have made his move during the time I was training. Could it be Olivier that he is hesitant? Possibly, but also unlikely.

But he seems to know a lot about me for some reason I cannot understand, from what I could remember from the project that dad had mentioned about the undead soldiers. Looking back on it it was really inhumane but when our existence and our home was threatened with annihilation then what choices did we have. We may have had the best technology but what they had was raw power kept in their bodies. Granted a large majority of them had the power level of an average civilian and some were gifted to be natural prodigies in the field of combat but if an average joe really tried then he can become the strongest person alive through sheer determination and willpower it was that simple.

Sadly that was how we lost back then, excluding being outnumbered . why we lost was that we had relied on our technology a bit too much. Although it certainly didn't look like it but me and my people were aliens to this world and we were not accustomed to this world yet. We did kill many of their soldiers in return as me and my people hail from the plant earth or what's left of it have a history of many experiences in warfare. With our skill, experience and technology we were overconfident that we could overthrow the menace wielding obsolete weapons that would ate back to the Bronze Age and medieval age. But our overconfidence led us to underestimate them. The soldiers and warriors back then had determination that I could respect in a soldier. Sadly the soldiers were misguided and ignorant of the truth; they were patriotic to the core with their love for their country and completely unaware of the darkness that resides in it.

Now that I think about how was I able to do the training that the people of this world can do even though I reside from earth that the people from there could not be able to with stand such arduous training?

Could it be that someone from my family tree hails from this world? It would certainly make sense.

But now I feel like I have done the rangers proud of overcoming my weaknesses, I feel that I could take on this world and flip them the bird and watch them rage about it. But not just yet I have still got time here to spend.

'Oh that reminds me I have to help with setting up the surprise graduation party for robin.' I thought feeling proud of my surrogate sister. It's a good thing that she doesn't suspect anything as of yet even though she was really clever and observant.

As I got up from my spot that was facing the sea I got up to head back to the library to help the archaeologists three and after that maybe I could find robin.

"With this she can now really be truly happy as she will be reaching her first dream." I said with a smile on my face.

Omake: Rocking the future dragon and why you should never make bets with assholes

Marcus sanford and hank can be seen at a table in a local tavern. While they were chatting they were also drinking sake,beer and rum along with it so they were pretty drunk. Suddenly their attention was grabbed by deimos who was making a rather ridiculous scene in the pub by dancing, and not just any dance but he was doing the Hakka dance whilst he was singing the dragon ball z theme song rock the dragon and matching the hits to himself along with the rhythm of the song.

"Deimos what are you doing?" I said to him in a deadpan

"ima doing my dragon hakka." He slurred

"right ok is that something you made up recently."

"yep, but I think it would be so much better if we were all to do together in sync don't you think."

"The only time we would do that dance is the time we would see an actual dragon." I said snorted

"Wanna bet on it?" deimos tempted me.

"oh so now we are betting huh, what's the stakes?" I said while raising an eyebrow.

"if there ever comes a time when someone either mentions the word dragon or even something that resembles or looks like one and if we se an actual dragon, we must drop what we are doing and do the dragon hakka no matter the situation. Plus you owe me 1000 berris.

"And what do we get if that time never comes?"

"You will be spared the embarrassment of doing it."

"Well that's not much to offer, but what the hell I'm in. I mean what are the chances of bumping into one."

"whatever you say. And what about you guys." Deimos pointed out to Hank and Sanford.

"As crazy as it sounds ,I might as well humour you so I'm in." Hank accepted

Sanford shrugged. "count me in."

All three men shook Deimos's hand and the bet has been made.

"How are you going to remember this bet in the future anyway?" I questioned him

"ah don't worry about it al of the clones can share their memories with each other even after being drunk, plus I have a great memory." He said while tapping his head

"Still what are the chances of that happening right?" said Marcus.

"I don't know it could happen today or even tomorrow, maybe next week or next year or maybe in the next 10. Or when you least expect it. Be afraid, be very afraid Marcus." He said in a mockingly haunting voice.

Marcus will soon realize that you must never make bets with assholes.

( 1 month later somewhere in west blue.)

The gang was seen sailing on a ship on a calm sea under clear blue skys.

While the rest was bored out of their minds they suddenly heard Deimos shouting.

"Hey guys check this shit out!" deimos calledout in excitement

When Marcus, Hank, Sanford, Olivier and some of the girls came up to the bow of th ship they suddenly saw a flock of green looking dragons.

"Wow what are they called." I said in awe

"I never would've thought I would see something like this, those are sennenryus (millienium dragon or thousand year old dragon) the rare species of the famed species of the dragon.

"Wow." Marcus said in awe at the sight. But suddenly at the corner of his eye he saw Deioms looking at him with a shit eating grin plastered on his face which could only mean one thing that he suddenly remembered.

"You are not serious Deimos." I said nervously

"Oh I am plenty serious Marcus now pay up and get in position right up to the figurehead, you two aswell." He called out to Hank and Sanford who in returned had groaned and payed Deimos his3000 beris from each person and got in position.

"What are you doing?" Olivier asked me with a raised eyebrow in confusion.

"Ruining the atmosphere with a bet that we made with him last month. " I groaned

We all got in line and with Deimos mentally giving us instructions with his mind and we all followed his lead so we were all in sync with the rhythm. While making loud chants of "Dragon! Dragon! Rock The Dragon! " and performing Deimos's own version of the Hakka dance effortlessly. But that didn't excuse us from making utter fools of ourselves. As Olivier,Hocha, robin and the girls who were with us were sweat dropping from the scene. And the clones that were present were pinching their noses in embarrassment.

Even the dragons were confused by the sight, but in honesty they actually liked it and decided to stick around by circling the ship.

"Hey guys check it out they liked what we were doing." Deimos said cheerfuly.

"whatever but I am not doing that again." I gritted my teeth pushing back the urges to murder someone named Deimos.

"ah ah ah the bet is still ongoing I'm afraid." He said

"what I did the stupid bet so why the hell do we still need to do it." He looked at him like he had grown devil horns out of his head.

"actually you never specified on how long this bet should last and you have already shook on it im afraid." He chuckled evily at that making me,Hank and Sanford pale at the horror we have unleashed.

"How the hell would you know that." I asked him

"I told you I've got great memory." He answered with a shrug

"Shit."

"shit indeed." He smirked

"I suppose it can't be that bad can it." I said but unknowingly unaware that karma was contradicting myself.

(19 years later)

"the name of your father is… monkey D dragon" Monkey D Garp had unwittingly announced to everyone in the room and the bystanders outside. Everyones faces except luffy's and me and the clones were pale and ha their breath snatched out of their lungs.

"EHHHH!" they all yelled in horror at the revelation but that was soon overshadowed by me and two other clones.

"F***K!" Went me and my two clones.

Deimos however was rubbing his hands together. "Oooh how convenient, oh come on guys quit your bitching and let's rock this joint."

3 minutes of reputational torture of doing the infamous Dragon Hakka left us with a stunned audience of marines an enraged Nami a really confused Sanji an entertained Chopper a stoic robin who was trying to hold back the giggles, an inspired Franky who had thought it was a really SUUUUUUPER performance and a highly amused luffy who had forgotten what the main point of the conversation was and he was laughing his ass off.

I just wanted to find a cold dark alley way to just shoot myself.

Maybye the whole thing would eventually blow over.

(A few months later)

Okay it turns out it didn't and it got a whole lot worse from here.

We were originally going to rescue Camie from the auction house and when we entered the auction house we saw her in a huge water tank that looked like a giant fishbowel. And when I looked to my left I had noticed three High class nobles who looked like retarded space men excluding the the female but the whole spacesuit did not complement her in anyway.

I pretended that I didn't see them and hoped that Deimos didn't either, but fate was having the time of his/her life with just messing with me as Deimos grabbed my attention and was pointing at the Celestial dragons and I immediatly interrupted him before he could say anything.

"Deimos you must be literally out of your god damned mind if you seriously want us to do that." I whispered to him.

"Ok first you didn't lt me start but hear me out I have a plan." He said

(Interval)

The original plan was to buy camie back with the money we saved up by Nami but we didn't have enough as we were out bidded by the fat snobbish pig of a man known as saint charloss.

Throughout the silence after the bid had been made, the silence was broken by loud chanting filled with shouting and manliness that came from the four masked individual wearing shoalin monk outfits and a dragons mask while striking their limbs in a dance. And this was happening right behind the VIP seats where the celestial dragons were sitting.

After that performance Luffy and the crew had taken the chance and rescued Camie from the fishtank and made their escape.

Saint charloss eventually noticed that the mermaid was missing and he had been made a fool of by the commoners so he took out is pistol and shot me right in the chest at point blank range. Luckily we infused ourselves in Tekkai but the bullet had ricochet off my chest and struck his father in the head.

"Oh shit" all four of us said in sync. And we ended with the finale of rocking the dragon by smashing my boot into Charloss's face.

"Leg it!" I shouted running out of the building.

3 minutes later Silvers Rayleigh had made his entrance only to meet with an empty audience and an absent straw-hat crew.

"Huh i guess I missed the party." He muttered to himself.

AN:

You should all know who most of these are. if you don't, look up the series and give them a watch.

As for the reason why i have added them in is because I wanted to add in strong females with either a military background or something that would mold them in to a strong warrior.
