Jumping onto a pirate ship, Kuina, Zoro, and Kuro started deflecting bullets as they cut down enemies.

The pirate ship they were attacking had raided a marine cargo ship and were loaded with brand-new guns.

Unfortunately for them, they stumbled upon the three demons.

At first the pirate encouraged themselves saying there no way the three bounty hunter could dodge bullets and it would be an easy win.

Easy win it wasn't as the three demons were deflecting bullets upon getting shot at.

"It's just three people, keep firing," the pirate captain screamed.

Kuina suddenly turned her attention towards him and he became scared.

He began shaking with fear, "Protect me!"

Rushing faster than the eye can see, Kuina cut the pirate captain down.

The remaining fight wasn't long as all the pirates were cut down.

Kuro headed into the pirate treasury to see what sort of goodies they had.

Upon entering the room, a sword swung at his face and collided with his haki.

It was a good thing as the sword wasn't a famous sword as it would have easily torn through his haki.

Kuro looked at the scared pirate who was shocked to see his blade not going through.

Kuro slashed his sword and the pirate fell.

Scanning the treasury, Kuro could mostly see guns, gunpowder, and bullets.

They could be sold for a hefty profit but Kuro wasn't interested.

Leaving the treasury, Kuro headed toward the food storage and found Zoro and Kuina drinking.

He really wanted to sigh as Zoro and Kuina had quite the alcohol addiction.

"Kuro, Kuina tripped on stairs again," Zoro laughed.

Kuina glared at Zoro with a smile, "You got lost on this ship while I was following you."

Zoro became embarrassed but couldn't think of anything to counter.

Kuro looked at a pile of fruits and saw a devil fruit.

His shocked mind took a moment to process what he just saw and he smiled.

Walking up to the pile fruit, he grabbed the devil fruit and looked at it.

"I don't know what your name is buddy, but your a strong devil fruit right?"

The devil fruit stayed silent as Zoro and Kuina brought their attention towards Kuro.

They walked up to Kuro and stared at the gray pomegranate-like devil fruit with curiosity.

"That's a devil fruit?" Zoro curiously looked.

"I thought you were lying," Kuina stated with curiosity.

Kuro kept staring at the devil fruit with a smile.

A part of him wanted to eat it but a part of him was afraid the devil fruit could turn out to be garbage.

"What are you going to do with it?" Zoro questioned.

"You're not going to eat it are you?" Kuina gazed at Kuro, "You know you won't be able to swim after eating it right?"

Kuro looked at the two, "I've always wanted to have a superpower, and this just might be my chance."

Kuro then took a bite out of the devil fruit as Kuina and Zoro stared with shock.

"You taste nasty," Kuro said and spat out what he bit.

Knowledge flooded inside Kuro's head about his devil fruit as Zoro and Kuina stayed still to see if anything would happen.

The spook-spook fruit was what Kuro ate, it was a zoan fruit.

It allowed him to turn into a ghost.

Before Zoro and Kuina's eyes, Kuro disappeared into thin air.

They blinked but couldn't see Kuro anywhere.

Using their observation haki, they could see that Kuro was in front of them.

Kuro possessed the air and they could see Kuro in air form.

Zoro touched Kuro and his hand went through.

"What are you doing step bro?" Kuro questioned mischievously in a coquettish voice.

Zoro freaked out and pulled his hand away and Kuina started laughing at him.

"What fruit did you eat?" Zoro questioned embarrassingly as he tried to move the topic.

"Ahem," coughed Kuro to bring back the attention of Kuina who was wheezing.

"Alright alright, I'll stop," Kuina breathed with a smile.

"I ate the spook-spook fruit, it's a zoan that allows me to turn into a ghost."

"A ghost?" Kuina and Zoro questioned.

Kuro shrugged, "You know, the soul of dead people after they die?"

"What can you do with it?" Zoro curiously questioned.

"I can do spooky stuff and take possession of things," Kuro waved his hand spookily.

"Can you take possession of humans?" Kuina questioned with interest.

Kuro nodded, "I believe so, but they should be able to reject me if their will is strong enough."

Kuina and Zoro nodded as they thought of all the mischievous stuff Kuro could do with the fruit.

"Looks like the marines are here," Kuina stated.

The three looked up inside the ship and headed onto the deck.

A marine ship connected with the pirate ship and the three collected a check note they could cash in at a marine base.


Kuro, Kuina, and Zoro looked at the marine in front of them.

Kuro tapped the marine with two fingers on the face.

"Buddy you ok?" Kuro asked.

The marine slowly opened his eyes with confusion and looked at the three.

"Who are you, where am I?"

Kuro smiled, "This is the afterlife, you died from drowning."

The marine suddenly became more awake, "I'm dead?!"

Kuro nodded, "Yep."

Zoro and Kuina looked at Kuro with hidden smiles, they could see what Kuro was doing.

Kuina smiled at the marine, "Hey it's okay, at least you'll be with your loved ones now."

The marine started taking in his situation as he tried to stay calm, "I will?"

Zoro nodded with a smile, "Yeah, welcome to the afterlife buddy."

Accepting his situation the marine looked around and saw that he was on a small ship in the ocean.

"Never knew the afterlife looked like real life."

Kuro nodded, "Yeah I was surprised too."

Kuina suddenly had a surprised face, "It seems you've been found and they're trying to bring you back to life."

"What!?" The marine could only mutter before he was knocked out by Kuina.

"Aw, I wanted to play with him more," Kuro stated sadly.

"Yeah, why end it early?" Zoro questioned with confusion.

Suddenly, Zoro's observation detected a marine ship nearby and understood.

He nodded and went off to sleep.

Kuro and Kuina handed the marine over to the marines on the ship and sailed away.


The pirate ship they were chasing was getting away and the three weren't happy about that.

They had a perfect track record and ain't no way they were gonna let nobody pirates escape.

They could use a special attack together, but that would most likely destroy the pirate ship and kill a lot of pirates.

"I'll chase them, you two catch up," Kuro stated and geppo towards the pirates.

The pirates freaked out as they saw him coming towards them.

They fired but Kuro simply deflected the bullets.

The pirate captain suddenly transformed into a hybrid mantis shrimp and jumped toward Kuro with his fist.

Immediately, Kuro observation fired a warning.

The captain punched Kuro but hit only air.

A shockwave exploded in the air from the pirate captain's punch and blew the air around.

Kuro's sword suddenly became tangible and he sliced the pirate captain left arm with armament.

A cut formed on the pirate captain's left arm and the pirate captain landed back on the ship.

He looked at Kuro with disdain as he held his bleeding left arm.

"To think I Darne would one day confront the three demons, looks like lady luck isn't kind to me today."

Kuro landed on the ship and looked at the pirate captain curiously.

The guy had a bounty of ten million, yet his attack was strong enough to damage an iron block.

Well, it made sense, Kuro guessed.

Kuro looked at the ship mast and Darne could see what Kuro was thinking.

"Fight me fairly," Darne yelled.

"I didn't know pirates cared about fighting fairly," Kuro replied and sent an energy slash toward the ship mast which Darne blocked.

"Fire at him," Darne yelled.

The pirates around got out of their stupor and started firing at Kuro.

Kuro decided to deal with them first and started cutting them down.

Darne didn't like seeing his men cut down and tried to attack Kuro.

Unfortunately, Kuro was too fast and Darne couldn't attack him.

Getting close to the mast, Kuro sliced it and Darne knew he wouldn't be able to escape the other two from behind.

"Damn you! You forced me!" Darne yelled with anger.

Darne went to the back of the ship and launched an energy punch toward the ship Zoro and Kuina were on.

The shockwave from Darne's punch destroyed the wood around him.

Zoro and Kuina made a special attack together and canceled out Darne's attack.

Darne became shocked at his attacks having failed and Kuro stabbed his back from behind.

"Sorry buddy, night night."

Darne gritted his teeth with anger and looked at Kuro with a glare.

"You'll one day receive what I've received today," he said with hatred.

"I hope not," Kuro replied thoughtfully and pulled out the sword.

Darne fell to the ground as his body gave out.

Feeling a sweat on his head, Kuro agreed this was indeed the toughest fight he had so far,

Zoro and Kuina got onto the pirate ship and finished off the remaining pirates.

A marine ship arrived after a call from Kuro.

They picked up the pirates and handed Kuro a check note.


Sailing through a huge storm, Kuro laughed and dance in the rainwater as Kuina and Zoro looked at him as if he was crazy.

Their ship was shaking and creaking so much it might as well sink now.

"Kuro, be serious," yelled Kuina.

"Nah," Kuro replied and turned into a giant ball of water.

Zoro seemed to like Kuro's spirit as he nodded.

Kuina sighed as she felt she was the only sane one here.

Kuro flew up toward the sky and yelled, "I am the storm!"

A bolt of lightning struck Kuro and he fell back onto the ship.

Kuina and Zoro stared blankly as they processed Kuro being struck by lightning.

Kuro suddenly got back up with a smile.

"The heavens will not stop me," Kuro yelled and flew back up.

A lightning bolt fell from the sky and Kuro deflected it.

A storm was indeed a great place to train in observation and armament.

Zoro and Kuina could see what he was doing and the two suddenly wanted to join.

"Want to try what he's doing?" Kuina asked Zoro trying to confirm if she was sane.

"Yeah," Zoro replied looking at Kuro deflect lightning curiously.

Kuina yelled at Kuro, "Hey we want to join too!"

Kuro deflected another bolt of lightning and looked down at them.

"Alright, but be careful, use your armament to resist the lightning."

Zoro and Kuina nodded as Kuro came down and possessed a giant bean bag which Zoro and Kuina both got on.

The bean bag flew up into the storm and Zoro and Kuina started deflecting lightning bolts.
