"Wow KuroShiro your strong. I haven't had this much of a challenge in a long time. But I see you're using the six powers. And your way more of a challenge then Moria. Wait you're not part of cp9 are you" says Luffy.
"No, I just know the six powers. But I call it Bear-Fu. And I plan on being better than Moria too. He was such a bad person" says KuroShiro
"Well you two seem to be getting along great. I'm going to leave for a few days and then come back and check on you Kuroshiro. In those few days I expect you to learn everything Luffy has to teach you. And Luffy don't hold back, give KuroShiro all you've got. If I remember correctly you didn't really get to face gecko Moria in an all-out brawl. am old, I just know these things" says Rayleigh.
While Luffy is distracted KuroShiro tries to double-team him,with himself and Malu his shadow. Luffy dodges and says "Guma Guma no Gatling gun."
" ouch that really hurt. Ok i am hungry and wanna get some food. If you can hunt, I will cook some dinner" says KuroShiro.
KuroShiro and Luffy go off to make dinner preparations. While they are away from the campsite a strange man with red hair walks up and takes a nap and Luffy's napsack. When KuroShiro comes back to the campsite, he doesn't even notice him. Followed by Luffy who also doesn't notice the strange man sleeping in the knapsack. KuroShiro begins to cook the enormous chunk of meat from the creature Luffy Hunted. The smells begin to fill the campsite "Wow this food smells amazing. It almost smells as good as Sanji's cooking" says Luffy.
" Sanji, I'm guessing he is your chef. I would very much like to meet him. Maybe we can exchange recipes. I learned this really good recipe from this really crazy dude. It's called a chimichanga but I have not got the chance to try it yet though" says KuroShiro as he continues to rotate the meat so it Cooks evenly
"AHHHHH so what is for dinner. *Hiccup* whatever it is, it smells so good" says The Red Haired man.
" Oh my god Luffy I thought this island was deserted" says KuroShiro in a panicked voice.
"Oh it's fine that is just Cross, he was her when I got here. He always seems to be around just in time for dinner. He says he has been trapped here for about 8 months," says Luffy.
"Hello mister cross" says KuroShiro.
" I will not allow such an ungroomed creature to speak to me. Groom yourself before you talk to me, Panda. On the other hand young Luffy you're starting to Let Yourself go, when you came here you were so well-groomed" says Cross.
"Awww this guy is mean. Almost reminds me of Senji. He is the Navigator of the Phoenix Pirates" says KuroShiro.
"Hehehehe, that almost sounds like Sanji. Only thing is that one letter changes. You're definitely a funny panda. So tell me about your crew. I'll tell you about mine as well. First there's Zoro, he's my Swordsman and he's always getting lost. Then there's Nami, my navigator. She really likes money. Next is Usopp, he's a good liar. Then we have Sanji, our chef. Actor that is Chopper he's the doctor on my crew. We have Robin who likes to read things and it scares me how dark she can be. Then there's Franky. He's a cyborg and he's part of our crew. Followed by the last member of the crew Brook is a musician. And of course I'm the captain. They call me Straw Hat Luffy" says Luffy as he smiles proudly.
"Wow my crew isn't nearly as big, let's see there's Asahina, our very brave captain. She ate the Phoenix fruit which has turned her into a phoenix. Then there is Ellie, she is always so nice to everybody. She ate the Griffin fruit which as you can guess made her a Griffin. Then there's Senji. Like I said before he is the Navigator. He is always mean to me. Next is Kanda. He really likes technology. I guess he's the Marksman of our ship. Then there's Viper. She is always very sarcastic. She ate a snake fruit but I forgot which one. Then there's me. I'm the chef. Then we have Axel. He is a pervert and he is our musician. And then we have Carlos, our Swordsman. He ate a devil fruit that gives him the ability to possess inanimate objects with his soul, " says KuroShiro.
"WOW YOUR CREW SOUNDS SO COOL. Wait so you and senji don't get along. That sounds like Zoro and Sanji. They are always fighting, but I know they really care about each other. There was this pineapple guy. I think he had that fruit. He died in the Battle of marineford. I guess your captain found the fruit that's cool. I'm not really sure what a griffin is but that sounds cool. I do have a question about that Senji guy you said he is your Navigator. My navigator is Nami. I was wondering what power he has," says Luffy.
" He ate the Tori Tori No Mi Raven Model. It turns Raven obviously. I don't know for some reason he's always so lucky and I don't understand why. But yeah he's mean to me so I don't care" says KuroShiro
"Hehehehe he's just giving you tough love like Zoro and Sanji give each other. Kanda reminds me of Frankie a little bit the way you explained to him. I was once on an island with people that could turn into snakes. So Viper sounds cool. What can your magician do other than sing songs? My musician Brook can jump really high and he likes panties" says Luffy.
"He can turn into a gargoyle. He ate the Gargoyle fruit. And Carlos is his cousin. Carlos ate the Akuma Akuma No Mi" says KuroShiro.
" Either I'm drunker than I thought or you guys are just spewing nonsense. All this talk of devil fruits. What kind of demonic presence inhabits these fruits. I shall find these fruits and exorcize the evil out of and I believe I will start with that Akuma fruit " says Cross.
"Hehehe no devil fruits give people special abilities like mine. See I ate the Guma Guma No Mi I'm a rubber man" says Luffy as he stretches his cheek.
" Yeah I'm definitely drunker than I thought. Well I am done eating dinner, I am going to bed" says Cross.
[ A few days later]
" KuroSsshiro brought you a pressent (Hiccup). It's in thisss box. Help you understand your power better " says Rayleigh.
" Wow thanks Rayleigh. What is it" says KuroShiro.
" Why don't you open it and find out. (Hiccup) like I said it will help you with your training" says Rayleigh.
KuroShiro opens the large box to find that in the Box is the corpse Gecko Moria. Then with a terrified look he screams out " oh dear God the onion human has come back to seek his revenge. Aaaaaaaaah!!! Luffy save me from the onion human."
" onion human I have never heard anybody call Gecko Moria that before Heeheehee. And I don't know KuroShiro, something was wrong with him, maybe he is sleeping" says Luffy
" No, I'm pretty sure he's dead. I did hit him in the head with that chair a few months back. And that killed him, then I ate his devil fruit after I found it in a cornfield" says KuroShiro.
Heeheehee that is hilarious. I can't believe gecko Moria got killed by a chair. Heeheehee" says Luffy while laughing hysterically
" This onion guy must be very lame if he got killed by a chair. By the way, if none of you are going to take it, his wallet is mine. If there's money in that it could help pay off my gambling debts" says Cross.
"Oh you have gambling debts as well. My name is (Hiccup) Rayleigh. Well I have to be going. I promised Shagi I would keep watch and the basssement" says Rayleigh.
" So what are you planning on doing with that corpse? I could teach you how to properly use it if you would like" says Cross.
" wait you're not asking me if I'm going to fuck it are you I'm not into that kinky shit" says KuroShiro .
" You perverted ass panda, That's fucking nasty. You are sick. That disgusts me the thing that your kind exists in this world" says Cross.
"I didn't mean it like that, I just thought you were into that kind of stuff. Which is why you asked me if I knew how to use it properly. If you didn't mean that, what did you mean" says KuroShiro.
" Well in the world I come from there are such magics that allow you to bring a course back to life. Well not as much back to life more like allows you to rather control it. I can teach you how and which to reanimate it" says Cross.
" I can do that with my shadows. The previous user of my power had a zombie army. I don't want a zombie army. However I do agree that using that ability of my devil fruit is useful. It would be helpful if you would show me some pointers" says KuroShiro.
"Well to start off you're going to have to make a coffin that box will not do. The trees on this Island seem to be made out of a very strong wood. Your first task panda… you must find a tree. Not just any tree will do though. The tree must be special. It must call to your heart. Luffy do not distract KuroShiro, this has now become his training. I will follow you as you look for trees" says Cross as he yawns.
" Ok I really like this tree over here, what do you think?" says KuroShiro.
After examining the tree for a few minutes Cross says " no this one work, choose another."
" Oh what about this one?" says KuroShiro.
"Nope," Cross says while he takes a sip from his bottle.
[a few days later]
" How about this tree, will this one work?" Says KuroShiro while he knocks on the tree.
"No, not that one," Cross says.
[ 2 weeks later]
"You know I'm really getting sick of you saying every tree is not good enough. You said that I would choose that and it would call out to me not to you. So if you don't like the fact that I want to use this tree right here. Then you can go die in a ditch somewhere" says KuroShiro.
" Congratulations panda. You have passed the first test," Cross says as he applauds KuroShiro.
" Wait what… are you telling me all this time any one of the trees that I picked we're good enough" says KuroShiro.
" Yeah pretty much. You see, the test was that you must choose the tree. If I had chosen a tree for you then you would have not had a connection with the coffin. So yes any tree would have worked but you need that confidence in yourself. You needed to stand up to me. And panda you have guts for standing up to me. You're way better than that waste of space Allen" says KuroShiro.
"Okay I don't know who this Allen guy is, but it's mean to call him a waste of space. And would you please tell me the next step? I've already wasted two weeks of my training" says KuroShiro.
" Allen is just my worthless Apprentice. The Next Step is you must carve the coffin out of the wood. I didn't bring any tools so you're going to have to make do with what you have. Then after that I will teach you how to properly seal the body within the coffin. There are magic words an incantation that must be spoken" says Cross.
Several hours pass and KuroShiro finishes up the carving. "Wow, that looks so cool. What are you going to call your new technique" says Luffy.
" Get back to your training young man. I wouldn't want that very well-groomed white-haired man to be mad at me. Now Luffy is right you need to come up with a name for this technique" says Cross.
" I was thinking I would just call it the resurrection of Moria" says KuroShiro
" Very interesting, however, might make a suggestion. Instead, call it The Grave Of Moria. Now those magic words I spoke of are Abata Ura Masarakato, On Kaibara" says Cross.
" Okay. But there's something I have to try to see if it works. Luffy can you grab that rabbit over there I'm going to take its shadow" says KuroShiro.
Luffy grabs the rabbit and hands it to KuroShiro. Then Kuroshiro looks at the rabbit and says "sorry little guy. I'm going to have to take your Shadow.However afterwards I will put you out of your misery so you don't have to burn up in the Sun." KuroShiro cut out the rabbit's shadow and then put it in the Gecko Moria. Gecko Moria eyes slowly open. She looks around and says " the last thing I remember I was smacked in the head with something. How long was I unconscious? Wait Straw Hat what the hell are you doing here on Noodle Island. And who the hell is this panda and the redhead guy are they new members of your pathetic crew?"
" Actually you're not on noodle Island. I forget the name of this island. However you died, I ate your devil fruit. Now you are under my control because I brought you back using a shadow. Now Gecko Moria, I command you to kill that rabbit so that we can eat it for dinner" says KuroShiro.
" Wait, you command me. Who the hell do you think you are? I will not listen to you" says Gecko Moria as he snaps the rabbit's neck. " Wait what. Oh I fucking hate you. Great now I'm bound to a stupid as fuck panda. I do remember seeing your face briefly. Where do I remember you from," says Gecko Moria.
" Well back on noodle Island I hit you with a chair" KuroShiro says with a saddened tone in his voice.
" Fuck I hate my life. Now I'm bound to the panda that killed me" says Gecko Moria.
" Well if we're being technical this is your afterlife" says Cross.
" Nobody asked you," says Gecko Moria.
" shut the hell up you pathetic onion human. Panda please order this onion human to shut his mouth. His voice is beginning to give me a headache" says Cross.
" Onion human, I Am Not an onion human.I will not Displaced like that I am the great Gecko Moria once feared as one of the seven Warlords" says Gecko Moria.
" Yes and now you are no better than an onion in a box! Panda, either take the shadow out or commands him to shut the hell up. His voice annoys me and it's giving me a headache." says Cross.
" You heard the man either get back in your coffin or shut up," says KuroShiro.
" You cannot command me to do anything I have my own free will," says Gecko Moria.
" I command you to shut the hell up," says KuroShiro.
" Like I said you cannot command m-" says Gecko Moria as he continues to try to speak but no words come out. He makes a Silent Scream in frustration as he puts his hands into the sky silently cursing kuroShiro's name.
" Okay Panda, in the morning I would teach you more about this new power of yours. I am somewhat of an expert when it comes to this kind of thing" says Cross.
In the morning when KuroShiro and Luffy wake up, Cross is nowhere to be found. They spend a good amount of time exploring the island trying to find him. Luffy looks at KuroShiro and says " I guess that cross guy is gone. Well let's get to our training. I think you should come up with some attacks that don't rely on Gecko Moria" says Luffy.
" I guess you're right, well let's continue our training like you said. And I can come up with attacks as we go" says KuroShiro.
KuroShiro and Luffy exchange blows while training. Luffy looks up and says" if you have Gecko Moria's power try using it more in your attacks. I have learned that your devil fruit is an extension of yourself. Back when I thought gecko Moria he was able to turn his body into bats. He also used his shadow as an extension of himself. Maybe you should try to get good at using your Shadow as part of your attacks" says Luffy.
"Ok. By the way, I named my shadow Malu. Turns out your Shadow has a whole consciousness. Outside of your body I guess you never really know until you have my power. And you keep saying Gecko Moria is power, I am going to own this power and make it my own. I don't care how Gecko Moria used it, this power belongs to me now. Malu, are you ready to try to beat Luffy together again? Let's do this then. Oh and by the way you can't hear anything Malu says, only I can" says KuroShiro.
Later that night KuroShiro and Luffy are eating dinner. KuroShiro looks at the coffin and says " I should probably wet Gecko Moria out and let him stretch his legs."
He opens the coffin, puts in the shadow and gecko Moria walks out. Still under the influence of the last command given he's rambling on but there's silence. " Oh I'm sorry you can speak now" KuroShiro says.
" I don't know why but I had the strangest craving for carrots. Maybe it's because it's this shadow you put into me, it's just a stupid rabbit" says Gecko Moria.
" Hey, I resent that my best friend happens to be a mink rabbit. And she is not stupid. You're going back in your box and you are going to stay. Until you learn how to talk properly" KuroShiro says as he takes out the Shadow and pushes gecko Moria. And then put him back in his coffin.
" Don't worry KuroShiro. Moria is just a mean onion human. Don't let him get to you. You are better than Moria. So never stoop to his level. Hehehehe I still can't believe I never thought to call him an onion human. He definitely looks like an onion. Just wait till I tell my crew they're going to laugh so hard at that" says Luffy.
A few days pass and Luffy and KuroShiro. Have both exhausted themselves from non stop fighting. Luffy looks over and says " wow you're super strong. Have you come up with any new techniques you want to try out before we call it a day."
" Well there are quite a few but they can wait till tomorrow. Can you believe it's already been 3 months since I started training with you. It seems like just yesterday I was dropped off here by Rayleigh. I wonder how he's doing by the way" says KuroShiro.
" He's probably drunk somewhere getting himself into trouble Hehehehe. KuroShiro tell me one thing… your captain does she seek the one piece. Because if so one day we might be rivals. Because I am going to become the king of the Pirates" says Luffy.
" You know she's never really said why she became a pirate. But she's never mentioned the one piece. I believe she became a pirate for freedom. Said she can break the shackles that were on her from the Marines in the world government. And I really hope that one day we aren't rivals. You have been a great friend Luffy. I know you will continue to be. I can't wait to meet the rest of your crew. I would really love to exchange recipes with Sanji. Also you said you were doctor is a reindeer do you mean a reindeer mink" says KuroShiro
" No, he's really a reindeer. He ate hito hito No Mi. He was just a regular reindeer but I guess it turned him into a reindeer human hybrid. So I guess you could say the fruit made him a mink. Because it gave him human characteristics like minks have. But if I'm being honest you're the first mink I've ever met" says Luffy.
"Well maybe one day you can go to my home Island, " says KuroShiro.
" Hehehehe I would love to. What is for dinner? I'm starving. I hope it has meat in it, " says Luffy.
"It does its squirrel stew. This is my first time
making it so bare with me," says KuroShiro.
"Sounds yummy. Oh KuroShiro what is your Dream" says Luffy.
" My dream is to travel the world and learn every type of Cuisine I can learn. I would like to build a recipe book with every type of recipe possible. I would also like to try every type of food" says KuroShiro.
"Hehehehe you and Sanji would get along great. His dream is to see the all blue" says Luffy.
" I can respect him for that. That is such a noble dream. A legend among chefs. I hope that one day he discovers it and the world can reap the benefits" says KuroShiro.
" I found this letter from Cross in his knapsack"
Dear Panda and Luffy,
I'm not very good at goodbyes so I thought it would be easier to just leave. Panda do not forget your training. You must learn to make that power your own and Luffy continue to follow your dream. Your dream is Noble and I know that one day you will achieve it. The other reason why I left was because I ran out of booze. And since most berries on that island are poisonous it would be too hard to try to make myself from alcohol. So I decided to weed in search of booze. If we cross paths in the distant future then so be it
- General Marion cross
.Ps. Panda you really should continue to keep yourself well groomed. Because no Apprentice of mine is allowed to grace my presence in such a dignified manner…
" Wow, I didn't know he was a general. Wait, do you think he's part of the" says KuroShiro.
" Even if he was, he was a very nice guy" says Luffy.
" Yeah you're definitely right. He could have chosen to turn us in but he didn't. I have a feeling he'll be an ally to us both later" says KuroShiro.
TOO CONTINUED…
