I walk into a bar called Shockey's rip-off bar. I walk inside and there is an old man sitting at the bar." I heard I could find Silvers Rayleigh the ship Kotor here" I say.
" And why would you want to find Rayleigh? You have heard the stories haven't you" say the Oldman
"Yes, he was once the right hand man of Gold Roger. They called him Dark King Rayleigh" I say.
The lady runningth the bar looks at the Oldman and Says " are you going to stop beating around the bush and tell this girl where she can find Rayleigh."
" hahaha. Well what makes you want to go to the New World. Why not stay in Paradise where it is nice. The new world can be a scary place with lots of strong Pirates. Besides what does the Phoenix Queen need in the New World but she can't get in Paradise" says the Oldman.
" Well, I simply just seek Adventure and freedom. The freedom to go wherever I want .When I was a marine I was told where I could go and when I could go. And how did you know I was Phoenix Queen Asahina" I say.
" I keep tabs on everyone. Every new pirate starts to make a name for themself I know about. Besides it was all over the news that Marco the Phoenix was killed in the battle of marineford. Let me tell you that most of your crew does not know haki. I don't tell this to every pirate however you will not make it in the New World… if you and your crew don't do some serious training. I know for a fact that only three members of your crew know haki. Yourself included, along with your first mate and your Navigator. Like I said I keep tabs on everyone" says The Oldman.
" Just who the hell are you old man and how do you know so much about my crew?" I say.
" I just had an interest in the new generation. Let's just say I was a big part of Rogers generation" says The Oldman.
" Oh come on, just tell the girl who you are," says the lady running the bar.
" I am Dark King Rayleigh. Former member of the Roger Pirates at your service. But I was serious. I will not send you into the new world, in the current state your crew is in. Your crew is extremely strong however in the new world everyone knows haki. If you don't learn it your entire crew could very well end up dead. Many people ask me why I care so much. The reason I care is I have got a gut feeling that you play a greater role… in the grand scheme of things yet to come. You know there's only one other pirate like hold should probably train and that was Straw Hat Luffy. Although his crew was a lot weaker than yours I suggested that Luffy trains for 2 years. I would say you should train for about a year so you and your crew can fully Master haki" says Rayleigh.
" I do agree with you that my crew does need to learn it however could we do word it in the New World" I say.
" Well you could. But that's like drinking an entire bottle of whiskey for you to know what your tolerance for whiskey is. If you get my point, going to the new world without knowing haki will surely be your undoing" says Rayleigh.
" Okay well I guess I will talk to my crew about it" I say.
[ meanwhile in the Market District of One Piece sabaody archipelago]
" Oh my God they have so much good stuff here. I can literally stock our ship up for months with food. Carlos, what are you looking at over there" says KuroShiro.
" I'm looking at all these different types of tea. There's nothing like a good cup of tea in the morning KuroShiro" says Carlos
"Yea I have to agree with you on that especially if you have a nice side of chocolate chip pancakes. AWW now I made myself hungry. Hey Carlos, do you want to stop at that stand over there and get some takoyaki says KuroShiro as they both walked over to the takoyaki stand.
"Hello there my name is Hachi. Welcome to my i takoyaki stand. How can I assist you? And please be patient with my assistant, she is still learning the ropes" say Hachi.
" We'll have 2 please. I'm so glad we got all that treasure from Deadpool. Although he confused me, he wasn't a bad guy. He gave me a chimichanga recipe after all. I can't wait to try them" says KuroShiro as he sits on a barstool.
"Yea they looked so good" says Carlos.
A little bit of time passes and two men walk up to what are KuroShiro and Carlos. They say" Hey we have got some really rare ingredients. Are you interested? "
"Yes i will come with you, Carlos stay here i will be back" says KuroShiro.
" Ok sounds good, don't be too long or your takoyaki won't get cold," says Carlos.
KuroShiro follows the two men to an alleyway. " This is a strange spot where your shop is," says KuroShiro.
"Yeah it's in a special spot because the ingredients are special ingredients. We're going to need to blindfold you and put these cuffs on you. It's so that we can take it to the special shop don't worry, you'll get there safely" says one of the men.
"Ok this sounds a bit strange. But I really want to see the ingredients, so ok" says KuroShiro.
They put them on and lead KuroShiro in to a room and put a slave collar on him. Then they throw him in a cage with an old man. They take the blind fold off and say " you are such a gullible panda wow I didn't think it would be that easy '' says The slaver.
" wait I'm being sold into slavery oh no. I have to get these handcuffs off." Says KuroShiro.
"Good luck with that, they are One sea prism. Do you always have to be cautious? You never know if you are trying to imprison a devil fruit user. Plus the caller is also made of sea prism. You're going to make us a lot of money, panda" both of the slavers say as they walk off laughing.
" My captain will save me, at least I hope she does. Old man, did they capture you too" says KuroShiro.
" Yea difference is I sold myself into slavery. To pay off a couple of gambling debts. Tell something panda what is your name" says The Oldman.
" My name is KuroShiro. I am a member of the Phoenix Pirates. I am the chef " says KuroShiro.
" Is that so well you can call me Rayleigh. It looks like fate brought us together for a reason. hey KuroShiro let's break out of this dump" says Rayleigh.
" It's nice to meet you, Rayleigh. And am I going to have to do most of the work here you're just a frail old man" says KuroShiro.
" You let me worry about that. On my signal we will break out of this. And until then me and you were going to get to know each other, panda. So exactly why is it they call you the shadow Reaper" says KuroShiro.
" Well I'm not really sure where that name came from, however I ate kage kage No Mi. And yes I know it did belong to Gecko Moria but it's a long story how I got it" says KuroShiro.
" Yeah I heard that motherfuker died on Noodle Island. He was murdered wasn't he. I find it funny he happens to be murdered. Then you show up with his fruit kind of suspicious, don't you think" says Rayleigh.
" Well, if you must know, I hit her over the head with a chair. He died then I ate this blackpiece of corn. At least and then after that I had Shadow powers'' says KuroShiro
"Hahahahaha the old bastard went out by getting hit in the head with a chair. Damn I knew Gecko Moria was lame but not that way lame. Well I believe in fate every man happens for a reason. So he had to die for you to be the next user Kage Kage No Mi.
" Yeah I guess so," says KuroShiro.
[ back in the Market District Asahina Meets up with all of the crew KuroShiro is not there]
" I have something to discuss with all of you, where Is KuroShiro?" I Say.
" He left a little while ago with these two guys who said they had special ingredients and thought we ought to go look for him. But first, what did you want, m'lady." Says Carlos.
" I went to get our ship coated and dark King Rayleigh said we need to train. Because not all of us know haki and without it we will not make it a new world. And for those of us that do know it we can just get stronger. He said we could train for a year before going to the new world" I say.
" Alright well let's go track down the panda. Leave it up to KuroShiro to get his ass lost" says Senji.
Some time passes and senji sees a clump of white and black fur in an alleyway. " I can recognize this fur anywhere. Huh wonder what that doorway leads to Damn it's locked" Senji says as he wiggles the door.
He brings the rest of the crew to the alleyway where he found clumps of Kuroshiro's fur. " More than likely he's behind this door. However I feel like we need to approach this cautiously. When I was walking around I heard people talking about slavers. It's very possible that KuroShiro taken by slavers" says Kanda.
" Well, let's go to the auction house. I believe that's our best bet," says Ellie.
[Later at the auction house]
" next ladies and gentlemen we have a real treat for you up for. We have not seen one of these in quite a while have a panda mink. This is no ordinary mink. We believe this man has devil fruit powers. Trained it well and those devil fruit Powers could be yours to control" the auctioneer says.
They bring out KuroShiro and the Celestial dragons start beating like crazy. I throw in a super high. One of the celestial dragons outbids me and I hear him say " this Panda will be mine. They say it has a devil fruit. I wonder what that could be."
All of the sudden Rayleigh stumbles out and says " that panda is not anyone's, he is his own person."
" Not you again we cannot allow you to continue to mess up these auctions" says the auctioneer.
" I think you have a bigger problem," Dark King Rayleigh says as he points to KuroShiro.
All of the Phoenix Pirates attack the guards. KuroShiro jumps down and says " I knew you wouldn't leave me." He hugs Senji rubbing against him as a sign of love and appreciation.
" Stop that KuroShiro now. If it was up to me I would have left you," says Senji.
" All of you meet me back at my bar. I have something I need to discuss with you" says Rayleigh.
[Back add dark King Rayleigh's bar]
" Good you all made it. The thing is the majority of you do not know haki. And you will not last in the new world without it. Now you could learn in the New World however take a year to Master it. And in the meantime you can also come up with a few new moves. A little bit of training never hurts. " I set it up with an old friend of mine to send you all off somewhere to train. Quite frankly I don't care where you all trade. However I've taken a little bit of personal interest in the panda. Me and him got some bonding time in a cell. I would like to personally train him myself. Everybody this is Kuma he's going to send you off somewhere random to rain and get stronger"
" I have a personal request. I would like to train in a pocket dimension created by my sword. I've trained there a couple times before there's only one downfall. The whole entire time I'm in the pocket dimension the portal must stay open, or I will be trapped in there for all of eternity. I would like to train in The Labyrinth within my sword. I will need somebody to guard my sword while I am in The Labyrinth within. It must stay on this side or will be lost in the Labyrinth forever" says Carlos.
"I have a good place to hide it. Put it down stairs in our storage space, that way Shaki and I can keep an eye on it. And believe me anything or anyone other than you comes out will get rid of it" says Rayleigh.
" Ok guys the muffins are done. What I miss,"says KuroShiro.
"Not much. Know where I want to train. I already know haki but I need to know more about my devil fruit. I would like to be sent somewhere to learn more about it," I say.
Kuma walks up to me, his hand begins to glow and I am sent to an unknown island. It's dark but what looks like a man standing next to 3 graves. I walk up and see the graves belong to…
[Back at the bar]
"Who is next?" says Kuma.
" I know Haki as well. But I guess I can always get stronger. I don't really care what you send me" says Senji.
Then Senji was gone.
" I've always been a fan of Technology but I guess I can learn haki. You know what, send me somewhere where I can learn more about technology and Haki" says Kanda.
Kanda disappears.
" Well I don't know if I can make such a request, but I would like to go somewhere where I can also learn more about my fruit. I ate the Hebi Hebi No Mi CottonMouth model. I would like to go somewhere with people like me" says Viper.
And just like that Viper was no longer in the room.
"Send me somewhere I can learn Haki but also somewhere musical" says Axel
Poof Axel is gone.
" I don't really know where I want to go, just send me somewhere where I can learn Haki," says Ellie.
All of the crew except KuroShiro is gone.
" Alright that leaves you .KuroShiro, you're all that's left. Kuma, thank you your services are no longer needed. KuroShiro you can't swim so we won't be able to swim to the Island where you're going to train. I'm going to send you to train with Luffy. Shaki I'll be out for a bit" says Rayleigh.
[ A few days later on Island of Rusukaina]
" Luffy, I brought somebody to train with you for a bit. Meet KuroShiro" says Rayleigh.
"You brought a panda to train with me. Why did you bring a panda and why do I have to trade with it" says Luffy.
" Let's say he is special," says Rayleigh.
"It's nice to meet you. My name is KuroShiro. I am the chef of the Phoenix Pirates" says KuroShiro.
" Wow! You talk. You should have told me he was a talking panda. What other cool things can you do" says Luffy.
"Well I can bring my shadow. I ate the Kage Kage No Mi. It once belonged to this onion human named Gecko Moria. But I killed him and then ate his devil fruit" says KuroShiro.
"Heeheehee you are a funny panda. And did you really kill Moria? You'll have to tell me the story later. But for now lunch is over and I'm ready to begin training again. Would you care to join me, Panda" says Luffy.
" Of course," says KuroShiro.
" I'm going to stay for a few days to oversee the both of you. And then I'll leave again. I will be back in a few days. That's right now KuroShiro Lucy is not going to hold back on you. He's going to give you all he's got are you" says Rayleigh.
"Yes I am ready" says KuroShiro.
[Kanda lands on Karakuri Island]
" I say I want to learn more about technology and where did he send me to a snowy wasteland," says Kanda.
[ on Amazon Lily Island]
" Is this where I think it is? Wow, I never knew this island was so pretty" says Viper.
[In the basement Of Shaki's rip-off bar]
" Well, here I go. See you all in one year" says Carlos.
[Ellie lands Isle of Gryffindor and Island believed to be a place Magic and mystery]
" I don't know where I am. This place is strange" says Ellie.
[ on vacation island]
" Oh great I landed this. Damn this isn't going to be a vacation" says Senji.
[On Namakura Island]
" What is this place very creepy?" says as he turns into his gargoyle form and flies up to get a better View.
