Axe-Hand Morgan's Redemption.
A tale of what could've happened to Axe-Hand Morgan after we last saw him, written in the style of a One Piece cover story.
.
.
It's discovered that Captain Kuro was still alive, and Jango, (who is now the Marine Lieutenant Commander Jango the Turncoat,) gets called in for questioning. With him is his friend "Double Ironfist" Fullbody.
.
Jango comes clean and admits that while working for Kuro, they faked his death by hypnotizing a Marine and a Kuro lookalike.
.
Fullbody tells Helmeppo of Jango's story, as it was his father, the former East Blue Marine captain, "Axe-Hand" Morgan, who famously captured Kuro.
.
Helmeppo goes there to verify it, knowing that after his legendary capture of Kuro, Morgan changed and became cruel, egotistical, and even psychotic.
.
Helmeppo wants to know if the hypnosis was what changed him, and Jango reckons it probably was.
.
Helmeppo then wants to know if his hypnosis can change him back, and Jango reckons it probably can, provided he wasn't really like that naturally.
.
Axe-Hand Morgan has become a failure of a pirate, whose crew abandoned him, and now he drifts from island to island, half starved and drunk.
.
Some bounty hunters find him and bring him in, while he sleeps through his capture.
.
Jango and Helmeppo find out about Morgan's capture, and have him brought to them.
.
Morgan meets them while firmly tied up.
.
Jango uses his hypnosis to undo his earlier hypnosis and fix Morgan.
.
Morgan breaks down in tears upon realizing everything he's done.
.
A teary eyed Morgan vows to redeem himself and make amends for his past crimes.
.
The Marine who trained Morgan and Fullbody appears, (to the shock of both Morgan and Fullbody,) and he offers to look after Morgan and make sure he does what's right, and follows the path of justice.
.
The Knight Pirates attack the base they're at.
.
The interrogation room gets blown up, and the Marines there are brought down in the blast.
.
Pirates clad in armour infiltrate and free the prisoners. (The armour's of mixed styles, taken from all over, with pirate symbols painted on them.)
.
The prisoners and pirates run wild, blow stuff up, and attack the Marines.
.
Morgan joins the pirates, and the others there realize he was just faking remorse to escape punishment.
.
The pirates' cannons suddenly turn on the pirates and escaping prisoners, blowing them up and turning the tides.
.
Morgan emerges, carrying the defeated captain of the Knight Pirates. (Insert name & respectable bounty here.)
.
One of the Knight Pirates attack Morgan from behind and cut off his axe arm, in an attempt to rescue his captain.
.
The Knight Pirates get driven off and the prisoners get recaptured by the Marines.
.
"Axe-Hand" Morgan has saved the lives of nearly every Marine on the base.
.
Morgan explains that their forces were too much to fight through, and the only way he could stop the attack was by getting close to their captain and striking him down.
.
Morgan is given a second chance, rejoins the Marines as a Seaman Recruit, and his severed arm has been replaced with a cannon.
.
"Cannon-Arm" Morgan has ceased bragging about himself, and now proudly & happily boasts about his son, the great Lieutenant Commander Helmeppo.
.
.
Extra: "Axe-Hand" Morgan competes in an arm wrestling competition, but he has a large, bulky weapon for his right arm, and his opponent has a large, bulky weapon for his left arm, and they can't figure out how to make their match work.

AN: That's all I got for this one. If anyone can think of any other characters who should've gotten a cover story, feel free to let me know.
