"We need to find the Young master. Sorry to drag you guys in to this but please help us defend The Castle" says Carlos.
" Maybe it would be smart if we split up. The other half look for Axel" says Senji
"KuroShiro, Senji,and myself will go with the maid and will go look for Axel," I say.
As the crew splits up, the Maid says "let me introduce myself. My name is Lysithea. I ate Kumo Kumo No Mi Red widow model. Basically it allows me to turn into a Red widow spider."
"Spiders Scare me. No offense but they creep me out " Kuroshiro says.
"Kuroshiro what aren't you scared of? So where does Axel like to run off to" says Senji.
" Well there are a few places we can check for the master. Believe it or not he can actually be a very big kid sometimes. His parents died when he was a child so Carlos and I Raised him and because he didn't have his parents around he was made fun of as a child. They made fun of him because he inherited the family curse. Well more of a legacy than a curse. Because he's the only child of Lord Lauriam and Lady Elrena, the power of the Gargoyle was his birthright. He ate The Goburin Goburin no Mi Gargoyle model"Lysithea says.
With a smirk Senji says" wait Axel is a gargoyle. Well that explains a lot."
We all look over and see that Kuroshiro is whimpering "What's wrong" I say.
Still whimpering "this island is scary. First spider people now gargoyle people."
"Onion people," Senji says, trying not to burst out laughing.
"Oh no they're probably mad at me because I killed their leader. And then to make it worse I stole his devil fruit. They probably think that it rightfully belongs to them. They have come to kill me, take the fruit power away, " KuroShiro says as tears pour down his face.
"Kuroshiro buddy you know I was joking around right. As far as I know Gecko Moria is the only onion human I know of." Senji says
" Oh good I thought the onion humans had beef with me now. You know I really could for some beef right now though, The food kind" Kuroshiro says in relief.
"Sorry to interrupt your moment but I see the young Master up ahead" says Lysithea.
" Oh Hey there. I'd love to chat and all however this Joker is keeping me kind of occupied at the moment. Oh I see you brought company Thea. Well don't just stand there help me fight this loser" says Axel while fighting a Marine.
"My name is Commodore Norrington. I ate the Tori Tori No Mi seagull model" says Commodore Norrington.
"WHAT THE FUCK. You're a seagull dude that's not something to brag about. Basically you're a rat with wings" says Senji.
"You're scumbag Pirates so you're no better." He says to Senji then looks at me. And says "Asahina you disappeared after the battle of marineford. So I see you joined the ranks of these scummy Pirates. Did you join this scumbags crew because he is paying you" says Commodore Norrington.
"He is paying me nothing. I am the Captain of the crew. From now on I am Captain of the Phoenix Pirates. Or if you prefer you can call me the new owner Tori Tori No Mi Phoenix model, " I stay as I engage my wing and point them directly at him.
"You all go on, I got this rat with wings" Senji says while he cracks his knuckles.
"How pathetic the one-eyed man wants to fight me. Let me guess you have some magical power hidden of yours. This isn't a fairytale; you can't just win by sheer luck" Commodore Norrington says as he laughs maniacally.
" Haha well it isn't your lucky day. You see we may both be birds. However you're seen as the trash among birds. But me I am a bird associated with bad luck, with death. So if you want to talk about luck you should be talking about bad luck that you're about to receive" says Senji.
Leaving Senji behind we go on now with Axel running with us. " I saw more Marines up ahead, Captain Monokuma was with them. He is a ruthless killer. He killed my father 8 years ago. Today is the day he pays. " says Axel.
"Yea I remember reading about him,'' I say.
"That's so horrible how could someone do that. It makes me want to cry, "says KuroShiro.
As we catch up to Captain Monokuma and I say " I will fight him you don't have to worry Axel I will avenge your parents."
" I don't have time for this. Junko, keep them occupied. I have business to attend to" Captain Monokuma says as he walks off.
And then KuroShiro says " I will take out the blonde one. You leave her up to me. You two go after Captain Monokuma."
"BE CAREFUL! She is known as the Angel of the death. Because of her devil fruit the Tori Tori No Mi Harpy owl. She tears her opponents limb from limb" says Axel.
"It's ok I got this. I have my shadow powers and my BearFu. So I will take her out and you and Asahina take Captain Monokuma" says KuroShiro.
"You plan to take me on a panda , how pathetic. Your Bear karate stands no chance" says
Lieutenant Junko.
"It's called Bear-Fu and I am a Master of it. You may have seen Bear-Fu techniques already, you humans call it the Rokushiki. It's going to be interesting to see how it works with my newfound power to control Shadows" says KuroShiro.
HAHAHA!!! A master of Rokushiki your fucking with me. A fat ass panda there is no way. And Shadow powers only Gecko Moria can use Shadow powers " says Junko.
" I won't stand here and take insults lightly. There's only one person that's allowed to insult me. Although his insults may hurt… in the little bit of time that I have known him he has been one of the greatest friends I've had. And a foolish human like you could not begin to understand the true techniques of the Rokushiki. Oh and if you're wondering about the shadow abilities I killed Gecko Moria I am the new user of the kage kage
no mi" says KuroShiro.
"What? Killed the former Warlord of the sea. Huh yeah right" says Junko.
"Yeah I'm actually not sure how I hit with a chair. And he died. I must have hit him really hard. Oh well I'm done talking to you, time to fight" says KuroShiro.
" Alright you pathetic panda. You're soon going to realize the reason they call me the angel of death" Junko says as transforms.
Summoning his shadow abilities and getting into his fighting stance Kuroshiro says " I am going to show you the true power Bear-Fu"
I look at Kuroshiro and he has a serious look in his eyes. Like I have never seen… His hands are coursing with electricity. It's strange I've never seen this look in Kuroshiro's eyes. Me and Axel go on leaving Kuroshiro to fight.
Junko lunges forward for an attack. She is quickly countered by a finger pistol. As Kuroshiro's claws spring out he yells"CLAW CANNON." She is quickly struck again by Kuroshiro's shadow with another Claw cannon.
"Why is electricity coursing through my body now? I almost feel like my wings are slightly paralyzed" Junko says with a scowl.
" Have you not heard of the Minks power electro. It allows them to Electrify their fur. Combine that with my Bear-Fu techniques and it adds for a very deadly attack. As I realized my shadow can use my electricity as well" KuroShiro says.
Kuroshiro hears a very faint voice. " Kuro-sama I can also use your Bear-Fu. We can use that to our advantage. "
" Who's talking?" says Kuroshiro.
"I did Kuro-sama. I 'm sorry I didn't introduce myself until now I am your shadow. You don't have to worry. You are the only one that can hear me. Yes, others can see me. But the reason they cannot hear me is because I talk to you within your mind because we share one consciousness" says Kuroshiro's shadow.
While he is still blocking Junko's attacks he talks to his shadow in his head." Wait what is your name shadow"
"I don't really have one. I've always just been your shadow. And up until a few days ago I didn't have a Consciousness outside of you. Kuroshiro, we do not have time to discuss this right now. We have a fight to continue"
" okay and I promise you after this battle that we will give you a proper name. If you're going to be my shadow you need to have a name."
As she flies back for a second Junko says " huh! Why the defense all of a sudden. So is this all the Bear-Fu is. You're going to have to do better than that if you wants to defeat me"
" it's funny of you to think that it was defense. You didn't realize this whole time I was actually hitting your pressure points. It's going to be a lot harder to fly using only one wing. Now it's time for another technique… TEMPEST KICK" Kuroshiro says as he kicks her up in the air.
" You are an extremely foolish panda,haha you think I need both wings to fly. And you just gave me the advantage by kicking into the air" Junko but in a cocky manner.
" you may think I gave you the advantage. But what you don't understand is, I told you I'm a master of what you would call rokushiki. So I know how to perform gepo. This fight is not over yet. You were too naive to realize that my shadow is also using The rokushiki techniques" Kuroshiro says as he moon walks up to her.
" You clever panda I you give that. However my claws are sharper. Your Bear-Fu techniques are very interesting, yes. However like I told you at the beginning of this battle... You are going to learn why they call me the angel of death " Junko says as flies up higher. Then she stops and says "Harpy Slash" a wave of energy comes down and Strikes kuroshiro.
" Damn you now I am pissed you rip some my fur out with that attack. It's going to take forever to grow back. Ok now i am done playing around. Lets see you take this. CLAW BAZOOKA" Kuroshiro says in an angered rage. The wave hits Junko and she throw to the ground. Continuing his attack he lands on the ground next to her. He cuts off the pressure point in her other wing. "Congratulations you're now a flightless bird" he says
"How dare you. But I don't need my wings to fight you. You're finished now, panda. REAPER FANG" says Junko.
Kuroshiro's shadow jumps in the way and blocks it. Then Kuroshiro disappears and appears behind her. Both him and his shadow at the same time put their hands in the position to do the Claw Bazooka. "Sorry but I am doing this to save my friends you messed with the wrong panda. CLAW BAZOOKA" he says as him and his shadow shoot it off.
"She is Knocked out cold. Kuro-sama let's talk a bit while we catch up with the others. So I said I would tell you more about shadows. how it works is we are both born into this world at time. But a shadow is void of personality or thoughts they do as the body does. However when you ate the Kage Kage No Mi was reborn. It was like I was no longer just there, I was now a part of you, "says Kuroshiro's shadow.
"Well Malu I don't think that's true. You have always been part of me. Now you are just able to feel what it's like to be your own person" says Kuroshiro.
"Malu is my new name. I like it. Since I am part of you and I can tap into your memory. I know that it means shadow. You got it from that island we went to when we first set out on our adventure before we met Asahina and the rest of the crew. Saimin was a great island. And the name Malu you got from that noodle shop that told us about Noodle Island, Malu cafe. Or Shadow Cafe. Clever you know Kuroshiro, it's like your entire life led up to this point" says Malu.
"You're right I may be a coward. But you have made me realize that I Can't hide any longer. I have to keep on going forward" says Kuroshiro as an attack comes out of nowhere.
"You thought I was out for the count did you. Well I won't go out that easily. No one has ever survived to see this technique RAZOR DEATH CLAW" says Junko.
"I told you I am done playing games. You are too weak to fight and stop now before I have to kill you" says Kuroshiro as he blocks.
"You kill me, you are a cocky son of a Bitch. But I won't let you win. The Marines stand for true justice. Low life Pirates like you don't deserve to rome the world" says Junko.
"At this point you can barely stand. Just give up… In Bear-Fu there is saying instead of pushing yourself beyond your limits, know limits. And better yourself and live to fight another day. I issue you this challenge to get stronger. Find me when you do. I will also be stronger then we will settle this. Now this is for your own good" Kuroshiro says as chops her in the neck putting her to sleep.
At this point Kanda walks up and says "you killed her. Kuroshiro I didn't know you had it in you buddy. Well I kinda did but, well you know what I mean."
"Kanda, she is simply sleeping. I feel bad for her. She is so lost. Consumed by rage, she wants to be the best. But she is let's her rage consume her. I know she can do better. Which is why told her to get stronger so we can fight again someday. Well let's catch up to Asahina and Axel, they should be just ahead" says Kuroshiro.
"So you haven't properly introduced me to your friend. I believe I heard you call him Malu. Yes I have been listening since then. Oddly I cannot hear him speak" says Kanda.
" He can speak but he only really speaks inside my head. Otherwise he doesn't have a voice. And Malu means shadow. I guess that's kind of unoriginal... But the name kind of fits him and it reminds me of a journey in my past. Our past. He was always there even when he had consciousness he was still there. Watching over me, Malu is part of me and he is my friend" says Kuroshiro.
"Well I wish I had a cool power like that man, your one lucky panda. I am glad you and Malu are on my side. Well at least I got my guns they may not talk up they sure still pack one hell of a punch" says Kanda.
"I didn't know guns could punch people. Oh wait you mean… oh never mind. Well there they are lets not keep them waiting
