"Arc style: Cresent Moon Slash!"exclaimed Jaune as he concentrated Ryou into his cantana before creating a slash wave that was rubber missing of a crescent moon!
The slash was intercepted by Rayleigh, who was acting as Jaune's sword instructor!
"Oden was right when he said you have a lot of haki kid. But you need to work on it more."said Rayleigh as he put his sword back in its scabbard.
"Yes sir!"said Jaune as he focused his Ryou into his blade once more before taking a thrusting stance with his katana!
"Arc style: Meteor Shower!'said Jaune as he began stabbing the air multiple times with his sword, creating mini slash waves that were like like bullets!
Rayleigh intercepted them all with quick secession before one managed to slip by his defense and leave a cut on his face.
"Sorry!"said Jaune, but the first mate of the Roger Pirates just smiled.
"Good! Your getting stronger! Now show me that technique you have been working on!"ordered Rayleigh as Jaune took a deep breath as he tightening the grip on his katana.
"Arc style: Big Dipper!"exclaimed Jaune as he jumped into the air and held his sword with both hands before descending with a slashing motion at the Dark King!
Rayleigh intercepted a strike like last time but it was clear that he was struggling, not by much but he was struggling!
"Good! These once you have been my student kid are really paying off for your swordsmanship! Your Arc style is certainly becoming a formidable set of techniques!"said Rayleigh as he could see why Jaune was Oden's most trusted retainer!
As with enough training and practice he would become the strongest of Oden's Samurai!
"Now lets us continue!"said Rayleigh as Jaune was clearly getting tired, but he wanted to get stronger for Oden's sake!
"Yes sir!"said Jaune as Oden and Roger we're observing everything from the nearby deck.
"Really! That kid is from another world!"said Roger with shock as that's the last thing he was ever expecting to hear.
"Yeah Jaune throw through some kind of tear made of light, and since then he has been living with me these past several years. Kid will make one hell of a samurai as even Kin'emon is planning for Jaune to take his place as the leader of the scabbards. Hell he'll be one of the greatest Samurai in the history of Wano despite being born from so far away."said Oden as he was proud about bragging about his most loyal retainer.
"Kid may become strong like you one day."said Roger as he saw the potential in Jaune.
"Yeah! But he still has a long way to go. I'm just happy knowing that Momonosuke and Hiyori have someone strong like him to protect them!"said Oden as he knew that naturally Jaune and his children would outlive him since they were much younger.
But just knowing that someone loyal and strong like Jaune will soon be was satisfying for him.
"Hahahaha! Kid already has a bounty on his head, and I heard people get his age wrong because of his beard."said Roger as he held Jaune's wanted poster.
Jaune "Cresent Moon" Arc
575,000,000 Beri
Wanted
Dead or Alive!
"He earned his moniker from his signature Crescent Moon slash."said Oden as he was sure Kin'emon and the other is back in Wano Country would freak upon learning that their protege was now a wanted pirate!
Olong with thier Daimyo!

(Several Days Later)
The Oro Jackson was sailing through particularly stormy weather, with the waves being the size of small mountains as they continuously crashed into the islands near the Roger Pirates ship, as the dark clouds covered the entire sky with darkness! Almost as if something was ominous in the air...!
"This sea looks familiar."said Oden, as he knew the ocean they were traveling through all too well!
"I didn't know the Road Poneglyph was located in your home country.. We're only a step away from the last Island."said Roger, as he felt like his dream was getting closer and closer to becoming fruition.
"I wonder how the others will react to our sudden return."said Jaune,who was especially worried about Kiku, especially since Izo was still with the Whitebeard Pirates.
How could he explain to Kiku that her big brother decided to go off with Whitebeard...?
"I'm sure you'll figure something out."said Rayleigh while steering the ship.
"The last Island.."said Oden with clear enthusiasm, as he couldn't wait to see what this final Island had in store for him!
"A last amount of treasure sits there!"said Oden, since something had to be there in order for the island to be so difficult to find!
"Cant wait, huh Roger?"Oden asked as Roger just chuckled a little.
"Hard to starboard."ordered Roger as Rayleigh carefully steered the ship to avoid the world pools.
"We're going to the Land of Wano!"said Roger as his crew got everything ready to go up the huge waterfall!
The Roger Pirates got fired up by seeing their friends new country, and a chance to find one of the Road Poneglyphs!
Meanwhile on another part of the ship Toki was staggering like crazy as she was trying her best to stand, but she quickly fell to the floor head first!
Shanks was the first to notice that she looked ill.
"Oden!"yelled Shanks as he ran to tell Oden that his wife collapsed!
"What's wrong, redtaro?"asked Oden.
"Toki collapsed! exclaimed the cabin boy!
"What?!"said Oden as he and Jaune ran over to see if she was okay!
A short while later they took her to Crocus to see what was wrong with her. Crocus layed her on a bed and put a wet rag over her forehead to relieve the heat she was experiencing. Toki just kept panting as she look like she was gravely ill.
"Toki!"said Oden with worry over his wife.
"Lady Toki!"said Jaune, since she looked like she was extremely sick, even though she was just fine a few hours earlier!
"You'll be fine! I'm here with you!"said Oden as he didn't want to leave his wife's side until she was better.
Those works appeared to make Toki feel a little better.
"Oden.."said Crocus, to get his crewmate's attention.
"Toki has been following you and traveling the world, but her original goal was the Land of Wano. As the Land of Wano draws nearer, she's lost some steam. And the fatigue of the long journey has hit her."said Crocus as Toki wasn't built like them, she wasn't a fighter with the strength of a monster!
"Will she be able to keep on traveling?"asked Oden, as Jaune had already getting idea of where this conversation was going.
'Oden...' thought the young retainer.
"If she continues she could die."said Crocus bluntly, as there was no way to sugarcoat it.
Toki would get weaker and weaker the more she traveled through this hostile ocean! And the fatigue will eventually get to her, sooner or later!
"She should get off the ship at the Land of Wano and end her journey."said Crocus, who felt like Toki staying in one place for a good while was the best way to treat what she was currently experiencing.
Oden appeared to grit his teeth at this news, as he hated that his wife was experiencing such pain, because of the traveling she loved to do so much! He was going to have to make a difficult decision, and even if it forsake his dream, he was going to do it for her sake!
"lord Oden, in that case, you must leave lord Momonosuke and Lady Hiyori in the Land of Wano too, with Lady Toki."said Dogstorm, since he felt that the journey they were about to experience was too dangerous for children as young as them!
"Kin'emon and the others don't know Lady Toki well. So Dogstorm and I will accompany her."said Cat Viper as he wanted to protect Toki, since he knew how much she meant to Oden.
"I should go with them as well, since Kin'emon and the others will have to adjust to everything that has happened these last several years we've been away, so it's best that I should go as well so Lady Toki and the children can properly adapt to Wano."said Jaune as he didn't want Oden to give up his dream, and he knew Lady Toki didn't want that either!
"The places unfamiliar to them, so I'm sure they'll feel lonely. Leave Lady Toki to us."said Dogstorm, as they figured having someone they know will help them adjust to the Land of Wano.
"No, of course I..."began Oden, before he stopped his words mean sentence as soon as his wife grabbed his arm.
"Toki?"said Oden with confusion as his wife leaned up on the bed.
"You should go Oden."said Toki, as she knew Oden was about to give up his dream for her sake!
"What are you saying?! Don't try to act strong!"said Oden, who didn't want to leave his wife behind when she was sick.
Toki just close her eyes and look like she was deep in thought as Oden was wondering what she was going to do next.
"It is so restrictive."said Toki, as she was repeating what Oden said to her all those years ago.
"What about those words? That's all the passion you have for adventure? If you quit over a little thing like this, I... will dissolve our marriage!"sadid Toki as Oden was not acting like the man she fell in love with!
Oden couldn't believe what he just heard, as he did not want to end his marriage with Toki, but he also did not want to leave her side! He was truly between a rock and a hard place so to speak!
"Jaune."said Toki, getting the retainer's attention.
"Lady Toki."said Jaune, as he was wondering what she was going to say.
"Stay with Oden on this ship. You are the main reason he has been alive despite the fact he is so reckless. I want you to stay by his side, help him see his adventure until the end. I also want you to stay because of your dream to become one of the strongest warriors in Oden's Red Scabbards! Keep my beloved husband safe and make sure he sees his journey through the end!"said Toki as she knew Jaunes loved Oden greatly in she could see that he didn't want him to give up his journey either.
"I understand, Lady Toki."said Jaune as the sky began to clear.
Meanwhile in Kuri, Kin'emon was busy checking the books on the province's budget as Raizo was running towards his room as fast as possible!
Raizo opened the shogi doors as he was panting, making it clear that he had run a great distance to tell Kin'emon something.
"Why are you in such a hurry, Raizo?"asked Kin'emon as this was unusual for his friend and fellow member of the scabbards.
"Kin'emon! A ship is coming from the outside world! It's a pirate ship"said Raizo, quickly getting Kin'emon's attention!
"Could it be lord Oden?!"said Kin'emon with hope.
A short while later the Samurai of Oden approach the Oro Jackson, and for some reason they had cloth wrapped around their noses that covered their heads...?
"It looks different then Whitebeard's ship..."said Kin'emon, as it was clear to him the ship in front of them was not the Moby Dick!
"If they are pirates we must fight back!"said Kanjuro, as they must protect Kuri and its citizens!
"That is..."noticed Kiku as she spotted something.
All of them saw a large silhouette walking down the ship with a familiar sounding pair of geta sandals!
The Red Scabbards looked on with anticipation before the figure came into the light and they saw it was Oden!
Upon seeing the man they owed everything to, the samurai quickly began running to their Daimyo as fast as they could!
"Lord Oden!"they yelled with excitement!
"Guys!"said Oden, as he was happy to see them as they began bowing in front of him.
"It has been a while, lord Oden!"said Kin'emon with excitement as Oden agreed.
"You do ont seem to have changed..."began Kin'emon before the ones who stayed in Wano noticed Toki, Momonosuke, and Hiyori.
"This is my wife and children."said Oden, as he introduced his family.
"What? Guess somethings have changed!"said the Red Scabbards, as they never expected Daimyo to have settled down!
"My name is Toki, this is Hiyori."said Toki as she introduced her daughter and herself.
"And that is Momonosuke."she added, as Momonosuke was currently hiding behind his father.
"I wish i were him!"said Raizo as he was jealous that his Daimyo married such a beautiful woman.
"that is our lord Oden."added Kawamatsu.
"My Lady! It is nice to meet you."said Kiku, as she bowed to Toki.
'He is the boy whose shoulders the Kozuki Clan rests...' thought Kin'emon as he was looking at Momonosuke.
"Oh, he looks so intelligent.It is great that he does not look like lord Oden at all."said Kin'emon, to which Oden took offense as they began laughing.
"By the way, what's up with your outfits?"asked Oren as he noticed that their kimonos had been restitched with rags.
"We were eagerly waiting for lord Oden's return! We tried our best to take care of Kuri while you are away, but...Not just Kuri, but the whole Land of Wano is..."said Kin'emon before Toki interrupted him.
"If you really care about Oden... then please let him go."said Toki, as she bowed her head.
Oden just had a grumpy look on his face as he was silent the whole time as Kin'emon was about to say something before Oden began to speak, getting their attention!
"I... I will be away for a little longer."said Oden as he turned around and got back on the ship as the Scabbards looked on with worry and anger.
"Lord Oden!"said Kanjuro and Raizo
"Please wait!"yelled Kin'emon.
"Come back!"yelled Kawamatsu and Kiku.
'Smoke...' thought Jaune as the smoke he was noticing was not white, but black smoke!
But that was all he could see as the Oro Jackson began to sail away!
'I could tell that something was different about Lano of Wano, even for that brief moment I returned, before I turned my back. I knew that I'd never set out to sea if I turned around. I quickly took a copy of the Poneglyph in the Land of Wano and went back to the Sea.' thought Oden, as he could still hear his subordinates screaming at him.
"Damn you lord Oden, you bastard!"yelled the Red Scabbards as Oden continued to face his back towards them.
Jaune just turned his back as well, he needed to see Lady Toki's wishes and Lord Oden's dream until the end! He couldn't get caught up with this strange feeling he was getting in his gut!
"Oden you bastard..."joked Roger, as what is friend just did was cold.
"Can you read the script then?!"asked Oden, as he was clearly annoyed by Roger's remark.
"Oden, I'm sorry."said Roger, who knew it couldn't have been easy to leave them behind like that when they were clearly trying to tell him something.
A few days later the Roger Pirates arrived in Mokom Dukedom, where Cat Viper ans Dogstorm are from, and to the shop they saw that the island was on the back of a giant elephant!
"I was told that we could only get to Zou with this vivre card."said Roger, as he was using the card given to him by Dogstorm and Cat Viper to find Zou as Zuneisha made a noise!
"You're right! It's not an Island! An elephant!"said Oden with shock.
Soon Oden and Roger began hearing a voice.
'My guess it's the elephant.' thought Jaune as no one was talking or making noise besides that ginormous elephant.
"Oden, what's the matter?"asked Shanks as he couldn't hear anything.
"Well it's nothing, but it feels strange..."said Oden as hearing Zuneisha's voice was confusing him.
"Well let's get a rope or something to get up there."said Jaune as the Roger Pirates got to work to reach the dukedom.
A short while later the Roger Pirates arrived in the kingdom and handed the current ruler of Mokomo Dukedom, Duke Genghis Baan a letter of introduction from Cat Viper and Dogstorm.
"The letter from Dogstorm and Cat Viper. So they're alive! Those unruly boys..."said Genghis as he wiped away some tears of happiness, as he was pleased to hear that the two were still alive after they ran off to find Wano.
"It made a big fuss when they went missing! Thank you for notifying me."said Genghis as a short while later that Duke took them to the whale forest for them to see Road Poneglyph that they came to see.
"I feel uneasy.."said Oden as he had a bad feeling.
"This Kingdom is quite peaceful lord Oden, I'm sure it's only your imagination."said Jaune as he felt like he already knew the kingdom like the back of his hand thanks to Dogstorm and Cat Viper.
They have been thick as thieves along with Kawamatsu, ever since they almost died by being burned alive!
"Are you okay Oden? That doesn't sound like you."said Ganryu, as he was sure it was on his friend's head.
"I know how you feel Oden."said Roger, as it was clear they were sensing something that the others couldn't.
"You too Captain Roger!"said Isaac with shock!
"It kind of feels like I'm being watched by something really big..."explained Roger, as both he and Oden so like someone was watching them.
'I'm guessing the elephant.' thought Jaune as the only big thing around here was the elephant they were on.
He suspected that it had extremely sensitive skin so it could tell who was where at this very moment on its body at all times!
Soon the Roger Pirates began following the Duke of the whale tree before they finally reached the Road Poneglyph, with the crest of the Kozuki clan printed above it!
"Here it is! The last Road Poneglyph!"said Roger with excitement as the final piece of the map was now within their grasp!
"Kozuki's family crest."said Donquino, as he noticed the crest of his friend's Clan.
"So it's true that the Minks and we are like brothers."said Oden as everything Dogstorm and Cat Viper had told jim turned out to be true.
"Still... I wonder what the story behind it."said Jaune as he wondered how to Kozuki clan and Minks formed a pack of brotherhood!
"Now we've got all the Road Poneglyphs... Let's go, guys! To the last Island!"said Roger with a big smile as his crew raise their fists in agreement!
As the Roger Pirates were leaving Zou, a young Jaguar Mink approach them, specifically Roger!
"Roger! Oden! Take me with you!"said the young lad who would later be known as Pedro!
"Come on, please! Take me!"pleaded Pedro, as he wanted to join the Roger Pirates.
"Kid, you still have to wait. Listen... Everyone has their own turn."said Roger as it wasn't Pedro's moment yet.
"My turn."said Pedro as he sounded interested.
"When it comes, help me."said Roger as it still wasn't Pedro's era yet, but when it was they would soon meet!
"Okay, I'll help you at any cost!"said Pedro who couldn't wait for the day when it was his time!
"Goodbye, Pedro."said Roger as he waved goodbye.
The Roger Pirates soon returned to the Oro Jackson as now they had everything they needed to reach the final Island!
But something occurred a few days before the Roger Pirates were planning to make their trip to the final Island...
"The four Road Poneglyphs that we got..Theb lines from these four will cross at the center and that's where the last Island is."said Oden, as the Roger Pirates were discussing how they were going to reach the final Island.
"So literally X marks the spot."said Jaune as it didn't make sense as above anything else, it was just a complicated map, and every map had X marks the spot for the destination!
Roger meanwhile wasn't his room as he began coughing, before noticing he coughed up blood n
As he struggled to get up, he fell to the floor as Shanks heard the commotion and quickly run over to see what was wrong!
"Captain, are you okay?"asked Shanks with worry as he tried to break down the door!
Roger opended the door as he stepped out of his room the show that he was just fine.
"Have you figure it out where the last Island is?"asked Roger.
"Yeah we have."answered Gaban.
"When should we leave?"asked Rayleigh.
"Immediately."answered Rodger with a smile!
His who agreed as buggy and his excitement suddenly turned red and fell to the floor with signs of illness.
'It's like Lady Toki?!"wondered Jaune as he began to think of what was going on.
Did the final Island have some kind of mysterious effect on devil fruit eaters? That was the only thing Buggy and Lady Toki had in common! And no one else had devil fruit powers on the ship, as well as the fact they haven't gotten sick once!
Shanks meanwhile ran over to his fellow cabin boy to see if he was okay, but Buggy wasn't responding.
"I will take him to the sickbay!"said Jaune as he picked up Buggy and began running to the Crocus's doctors office on the ship!
It was revealed that Buggy had somehow contracted a fever, and that because of this fever he couldn't go to the last island with the rest of the crew!
"Only a damn kid will catch a cold right before I Great adventure."said Shanks as Buggy once again complained, before he fell back into bed because of his fever!
"Captain, lord Oden, I'll stay with them and make sure they don't get into trouble while you guys go to the last Island. After all we never know where are enemies lurk."said Jaune, as he couldn't leave these cabin boys alone, especially knowing that the Roger Pirates had a lot of enemies who would love to get back at them by using these swabbies!
"I understand."said Roger, who was glad that someone was willing to stay behind to watch over his swabbies!
The next day the Roger Pirates, minus Jaune, Shanks, and Buggy left for the final Island as Jaune and Shanks waved goodbye to them fromthe shore, Buggy meanwhile was resting in a nearby hospital.
Meanwhile the rest of the Roger Pirates looked forward to their adventure as they stared ahead to the final Island!
Soon word of Roger's exploits hit everyone's ears as all around the world newspapers were sent to tell everyone that the Roger Pirates had sailed the whole world!
Many admired him, while others were afraid of him!
Many started calling him the King of the Sea!
And before long everyone was calling him King of the Pirates! Although they did misspell his name as Gold Roger!
And because they found the last Island and were the first ones to set foot on it, the Roger Pirates had the right to name it!
And from that day for the final Island was known as Laugh Tale, as whatever the Roger Pirates found on island made them laugh!
