"Kuro, how strong is god?" questioned Usopp.

"First commander," replied Kuro.

Usopp became scared, "Isn't he on your level?"

Kuro laughed, "Nah, Cap here can easily one tap him."

Usopp breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh so he's a pushover."

Enel suddenly appeared before them with a cold face, "A coward dares to insult me."

Enel pointed a finger at them that sparked with lightning.

"That's the guy that hurt Conis!" Kuro yelled.

Luffy looked at Enel angrily and delivered a punch that sent Enel into a tree.

Enel got up from the tree with shock, "How dare you! No how..."

"Second gear, Red Hawk!" Luffy screamed.

Still stunned with shock, Enel took the hit head on and coughed up blood and became unconscious.

Usopp mouth hung open with shock.

Kuro patted Usopp on the back, "See Usopp, easy clap."

Usopp nodded numbly, "Yeah."


Night came and the strawhats met together.

"Start a fire Usopp," Luffy cheered.

"Yeah!" Usopp smiled and started a campfire.

"We shouldn't have a fire at night," Robin suggested.

Usopp and Luffy looked at each other, they then look at Robin with pity.

Robin became surprised at their gaze.

"She must have been living in the dark," Usopp sighed.

"Yeah," Luffy shook his head with a sigh.

Robin became confused, "What do you mean?"

"It's scary at night, we need light!" Usopp cried.

"Yeah," Luffy cried.

Robin felt tricked and died a little inside.

Kuina and Nami sighed as they sat with Robin by the campfire.

Zoro was dozing off.

Sanji was preparing to cook.

Chopper studied the plants he had found.

Kuro was looking into the fire as if he was having ptsd flashback.

"I still can't believe you took down a first commander so easily Luffy" Usopp laughed.

Luffy smiled with pride, "I know right, I was expecting a tough fight."

Kuina looked at Luffy, "You did what?"

"I don't believe it," Nami exclaimed.

"Who was it!" Chopper eyes shined.

"It was the god that hurt Conis!" Usopp exclaimed with happiness.

Chopper looked at Luffy with amazement, "How did you do it!?"

Luffy made a fist stance, "I punched him like this," Luffy grinned and punch.

"Wow!?" Chopper excited.

"There's no way," uttered Kuina.

Kuina turned to Kuro demanding an explanation.

Kuro sighed, "Oh my sweet summer child, I told you power scaling was weird."

"Unless Usopp was lying about them being first commander, your lying!" Kuina exclaimed.

Kuro smiled, "Alright then, let me spit some fax. You and Zoro couldn't beat Buggy but Luffy beat him so Luffy is stronger than you two. But Luffy here can easily be beaten by Robin if she immobilizes him and throws him into the sea so Robin is stronger than Luffy. But Chopper here can beat Robin with his cuteness so he's stronger than Robin. But Usopp here can beat Chopper with trickery so Usopp is stronger than Chopper. But Nami here knows how to beat someone like Usopp so she's stronger than Usopp. As for Sanji, he couldn't hit a woman so he loses to Vivi. You see where I'm going with this?"

Everyone's mouths hung open.

"I think they see where you're going with this Crackhead," the voice of a woman sounded from the darkness.

Everyone became shocked and alert as they hadn't detected the woman's presence until she spike.

Looking at the darkness, they saw a hooded woman with a white mask appear.

"Shouldn't have started a fire if you didn't want to be found," She giggled.

"Who are you!?" Kuina narrowed as she couldn't glean anything from the woman.

Although Kuina couldn't tell who the woman was, Kuro could.

Especially since he could see the ghost of a person.

Kuro stood up with a grin and opened his arms with welcome, "Long time no see Robin Hood, here to steal from me again?"

"What!?" Everyone yelled.

Robin Hood became still with silence.

Everyone looked at her with shock as she started laughing like a maniac.

"Oh gosh, I didn't expect that," she took off her mask and revealed her face to be an older Robin, "Long time no see Kuro, and no I'm didn't come here to steal from you again."

Everyone's eyes shot out, "Ehhhhhhhhhh!"

Kuro dropped his arm and looked at her curiously, "Is Cap here since you're here."

"Yep," Robin Hood smiled.

"What's going on!" Nami questioned shocked.

Suddenly, they heard a rumbling and a tall buffed man came into view.

He had a strawhat, stitches under his left eye, and a scar on his chest.

The man seemed very happy with a grin on his face and tears in his eyes.

Kuro covered his ear.

"KUROOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" Future Luffy yelled.

Future Luffy rushed towards Kuro for a hug as everyone just went blank wondering what was going on.

Kuro didn't want to get hugged but he didn't want to hurt future Luffy's feelings.

Feeling a bone-crushing hug, Kuro felt embarrassed.

Everyone watched blankly with confusion as Future Luffy kept hugging Kuro and crying.

Kuro looked at Robin Hood and could see her smiling.

The audacity, how dare she enjoy his embarrassment!

Kuro will have his revenge!!!

"You can let go Cap," Kuro squeezed out.

"I think you should hug him tighter till his back break," Robin Hood giggled.

Seeing that he was making Kuro feel uncomfortable, Future Luffy let go.

"How did you know we were from the future Kuro?" Robin Hood questioned curiously.

"What!!!" Came out of the strawhats.

Kuro shrugged with a smile, "Trust Me Bro."

Future Luffy and Robin Hood went shocked.

Future Luffy started laughing.

Robin sighed with a smile, "You can't keep using that excuse."

Kuro smiled mysteriously, "Me and Kuina's existence is proof time travel is possible."

"Oh?" Robin Hood's eyes widened along with everyone else.

"Wait, how!?" Kuina questioned with confusion.

Kuro held a finger up to his lips with a smile, "Secret secret."

Robin Hood sighed, "Alright, keep your secrets."

"Thank you," Kuro nodded and then turned calm, "You're not here time traveling for fun are you?"

Future Luffy and Robin looked at each other and back at Kuro.

"No," Future Luffy shook his head calmly.

"Kuro, in the future, you die," Robin Hood revealed.

The strawhats became shocked.

Kuro took out a smoothie and drank it.

"What!" Luffy yelled.

"What do you mean?" angered Kuina.

The rest of the strawhats remained silent with shock.

Robin Hood became lost at Kuro's reaction, "You don't seem to be surprised."

Future Luffy stared at Kuro wondering why Kuro took the message so calmly.

Kuro shrugged his shoulder, "Were Kuina and Zoro mad?"

Robin Hood and Future Luffy nodded.

"Kuina fell into depression and started drinking her sorrow away," Future Luffy stated sadly.

"Zoro, he couldn't bear to see Kuina that way and the two left the crew," Robin Hood revealed.

The strawhats were again shocked at the revelation.

Kuro looked at Kuina and Zoro with pretend disbelief, "I can't believe you two, after all I did for you!?"

"You're one to talk!" Kuina yelled with suppressed emotions.

"Someone like you should never bite the dust," Zoro glared.

Kuro sighed and looked back at Robin Hood and Future Luffy, "Alright, you can call the prank off now, where's the hidden camera?"

Future Luffy and Robin eyes widened with confusion, "What do you mean?"

Kuro wanted to roll his eyes, "Come on, I'm sure my future self thought of this I died prank to scare or make the crew sad or something."

The strawhats thought about it and that did seem like something Future Kuro would do.

"No he didn't," Future Luffy yelled.

"What!?" Robin Hood stared.

Kuro took in Robin Hood and Future Luffy shocked expression, "Never knew I could commit to a prank where I faked my own death just so my crew mates could time travel back to tell past crew mates I died. Well played Future Me, well played."

Kuro smiled and gave himself a pat on the back.

"No, I saw you died for real," Future Luffy cried and tears started to form on his eyes.

"Kuro, we're not joking," Robin Hood stared with complex emotions.

The strawhats looked at the drama and stayed quiet as they wanted to find out more.

Kuro crossed his arms, "Ok then, what was the last thing I said?"

Future Luffy fell into his memory and remembered, "Pokémon."

"Was it a hidden message?" Robin Hood stared at Kuro intently.

Kuro became still shocked and everyone was surprised at his reaction.

Kuro took out a banana and they wondered what he was doing.

"He's calling Trust Me Bro," Zoro spoke quietly.

Although it seemed like a play, everyone watched quietly.

Kuro spoke to the banana with shock, "If what they said is true, is it possible?"

A moment of silence passed and they saw Kuro have the most excited smile ever.

"You're not lying right bro!?" Kuro spoke to the banana like a maniac.

A moment of silence passed and Kuro's eyes widened more.

Kuro peeled the banana and ate it.

Everyone didn't know what to say at the sight.

He looked at Future Luffy and Robin Hood with a grin, "Sorry but, I think I plan on dying no matter what."

"What!?" The strawhats sounded.

"Why?" was all Future Luffy could utter.

Kuro thought of how he should explain that he always wanted to go to the Pokemon world to become a team rocket member and go around doing bad guys' stuff.

If what Trust Me Bro said was true, when he dies, he'll get isekai'd to the world he thinks about the most.

A chance to chase after his dream, Kuro couldn't feel like passing the opportunity.

"What about Zoro and Kuina?" Robin Hood questioned quietly.

For a moment, Kuro's dream crashed.

He looked at Zoro and Kuina who looked back at him lost.

Closing his eyes, Kuro immediately had his answer and smiled softly at them, "I'll stay with the two of you longer."

Kuro looked back at Robin Hood and Future Luffy, "Tell them I'm sorry for leaving them so early. And let them know, somewhere far beyond this world, I'm out there missing them."


Inside a marine base, the strawhats were running around everywhere.

Many of them still remembered their encounter with Future Luffy and Future Robin.

Luffy was the most casual with his future self.

As for Robin, it seems she was shocked by what she learned from her future self.

After running around for quite a while, the strawhats managed to get their stuff together and fly out of the Marine base.

Looking at Kuro, they could see him giggling.

"Why are you giggling?" questioned Usopp.

Kuro grinned at Usopp, "I got Condoriano's autograph."

"Who's that?" Chopped tilted his head.

Robin looked strangely at Kuro, "He was the marine inspector I impersonated I believe."

Zoro looked at Kuina, Kuina looked at Zoro, the two looked at Luffy.

All three of them agreed they were hearing and seeing the same thing.

"Condoriano is a transcendent legend!" Luffy smiled.

"Transcendent legend!?" The strawhats looked at Luffy.

Luffy smiled, "Yep."

Nami suddenly remembered and her eyes widened.

"Looks like you remember Nami," Zoro and Kuina sighed.

"There's no way!" Nami pointed at Kuro with shock.

The strawhats stared at Nami wondering what was going on.

Kuina coughed, "The transcendent legends or four of them are powerful beings in the world, they are on par with the four emperors or even greater. They are Buggy the splitter, Sogeking the sniper, Ceasar the scientist, and Condoriano the shepherd."

The strawhats could only wow at what Kuina said as Robin became extremely skeptical and narrowed her eyes at Kuro.

Usopp suddenly thought of something, he was Sogeking though.

Looking at Kuro who held a finger to his smiling lips, Usopp gulped.

Robin saw the scene and her suspicion was full-blown, "What's special about the four transcendent legends?"

Everyone looked at Kuro and he smiled at them, "Wouldn't you like to know?"
