I've always wanted to be a marine since I was six years old.

I admired those who enforce justice, whether it is forceful or not. I looked up to my father, who was a marine captain, and died when I was ten years old.

He got overwhelmed in battle, and the great pirate age was too much for him to handle.

"Loki go fetch me a cold cup of water." A low voice commanded the boy.

A slightly tall, slender boy with slightly curly white hair to his chin and blue eyes. He filled a cup with cool ice water and returned it to the man who had commanded him.

This was the daily life of seaman Loki. Stuck to being a water boy until he could achieve promotion, which, even though he was a low-ranked sailor, was not easy.

"You will be accompanying marine hero Garp on his mission of transporting former Captain Morgan. Get ready; you have an hour." The higher-ranked marine waved Loki away.

Loki left the higher-ups' room, as he raised his hand in the air and clenched it tightly, hoping maybe this was finally going to be the day he got a chance to impress.

Loki wore a simple marine uniform without a cap as he gazed at himself in the mirror.

Looking away he grabbed a frozen banana from the fridge and put it in his pocket heading for the ship where morgan was to be transported to jail where he belonged.

Loki saw the giant ship capable of holding more then a dozen marines as in the middle was a chained up morgan with his axe hand intact.

You'd think they would atleast cut off the axe.

Loki walked onto the boat and saw two blonde haired and pinked haired boys looking scared out of his mind.

Loki sat and leaned against the railing as he began eating the frozen banana he had put in his pocket.

Man do I love me frozen or iced foods mmmm...

Lokis vision started getting blurry as he had unconsciously started to fall asleep.

Frozen..Yum..

BANG BANG!!

Lokis eyes blew open as morgan was rushing at him with a blonde boy on his shoulder screaming for help.

Loki quickly rolled out of the way as morgan hopped the railins and landed on a life boat laughing and boasting him being able to get away.

Who let the fool get away!?!

Mutiple marines started yelling as one of them loaded up a cannon getting ready to shoot down the boat alongside the marine on it.

"WAITTT!!.. YOU CAN'T SHOOT IT DOWN, THERE'S A MARINE ON THERE" A pink-haired boy stood in front of the cannon, throwing his arms out in an attempt to stop them.

"Move it, brat! Sacrifices have to be made; this is what being a Marine means!" Another marine grabbed the pink-haired boy and threw him to the side as he loaded the cannon.

BANG!

A slender arm grasped the cannon and crushed it in his hand as he stared down the fearful marine. "

"Your form of justice is irregular." Loki stated, his words as cool as ice, and he went back to sitting on the railings as if nothing had happened.

"BRAT, WHAT ARE YOU DOING THERE? ARE YOU GOING TO GET AWAY WITH IT NOW? DO YOU KNOW THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR ACTIONS!??" A random marine yelled at the calm Loki as he pointed at him in anger.

Before loki could respond a old marine jumped into the ocean and swam at the boat at superhuman speeds. Before anything could say anything former captain morgan now knocked out and blondie were upon garps shoulders as the man was soaking wet.

Marine hero garp!

Marines yelled in applause as they cheered for the marine who chuckled and waved off their compliments, slightly blushing.

The pink haired boy with tearful eyes rushed to the man and went on his knees surprising the rest of the marines.

"IM SORRY FOR MY ACTIONS PLEASE FORGIVE ME IM READY TO ACCEPT ANY PUNISHME-" Before the boy could finish the hero started laughing and waved off the boys apology.

"No worries, brat! I like what I saw there! Somebody transfer this crybaby and blondie to my unit." Garp screamed his orders as the two boys stood there, shocked at what had just occurred.

"YOU TO!" Garp pointed at Loki, who was eating ice cubes. As Loki's eyes slightly widened.

So I got transfered to garps personal unit and im gonna be accompanying him everywhere now?. Hey its better then nothing.

After transfering former captain morgan to a standard marine base garp with his own personal ship and marines sailed to his own personal mini island.

So this is what being a top dog. Being able to do almost whatever you want and having personal minions?. Awesome.

Loki was wrong.

The boys who he recently learned was name coby and helmeppo alongside himself was stuck to cleaning duties.

"This is ridiculous." Loki said outloud visibly showing his very rare frustration.

Loki was cleaning the walls with a rag as he squeezed the rag letting all the dirty water go into a bucket.

"I went from basically ruling an entire island under my father to this! If only that stupid strawhat hadn't ruined everything..." Helmeppo was mopping the floor, veins popping out of his hands.

"Hey guys this is what being a marine means!" Coby shivered saying this as Lokis cold glare hit him.

"HOW ARE MY THREE BRATS DOING!" Garp rushed to the scene with a giant grin on his face seemingly enjoying seeing loki and helmeppo frustrated at the work they were doing.

Loki grabbed a broom and threw it at garp as it hit his chest.

"You might as well kill me if this is what you're subjecting me to. This is justice, old man!" Loki grit his teeth, knowing that what he said could get him into trouble.

Coby was terrified as garp remained unmoving.

"Meet me outside. 10 minutes sharp. All of you." Garp walked away disseapearing from sight.

"NOOOO!! WHAT DID YOU DO IM SCARED!!" Coby and Helmeppo screamed at loki who remained unmoving despite having a sweat mark drip down his head.

The three boys hesitatingly walked outside to see trees and garp sitting on a cut tree log as he stared down the three boys.

Garp stood up as the three boys started sweating fearing what would happen.

"Come at me." Garp said.

"What?" The three boys remained unmoving confused what garp was talking about.

Before they knew it garp was rushing at them with a grin and clenched fist.

BAM!

Garp punched loki straight in the stomach sending flying away.

"Wait, please. We will never complain again!" The remaining two boys tried to run away, but they were caught by Garp and thrown to the ground.

"Is that all? I'm disappointed -" Before Garp could finish, Loki appeared from the trees, his claws sharpened, and his fangs showing.

"Knew that wouldn't be enough to take you out." Garp had a grin on his face as he cracked his knuckles.

Loki rushed at garp with newfounds strength and speed as his right fist slammed into garps fist creating a shockwave of air.

With his left hand Loki claws sharpened as he swung at garps intending to leave a scar.

Garp quickly moved out of the way and grabbed the still-extended left hand, lifting Loki up, intending to finish him the same way he finished the other two. Garp immediately let go and jumped backwards, looking at his hand.

Frost..

Garps hands were slightly covered in frost as he quickly shook them off.

"You devil fruit users never fail to surprise me!" Garp said with a grin on his face.

"I'm a snow leopard human" Loki said, breathing out cold air.

"That reminds me of someone.." Garp said, contemplating where he had heard of a leopard-man.

Loki rushed at Garp once more and swung at Garp, only for the old man to quickly move and deliver a devastating punch to his stomach. Loki clenched his teeth as the pain that erupted inside his body was probably the second most painful he'd ever felt.

Loki grabbed garps shoulders and jumped slamming his knee into garps face as he slammed his hand down onto garps back and flipped behind him planning on slamming him into the ground. Before Loki could excute this plan garp grabbed Loki foot mid flip and threw him into a nearby tree completely snapping it in half.

"You zoan-users are sure hard to take out.." Garp said while grinning at Loki, who was still on the ground.

"Speaking of zoans why don't you transform?" Garp said confused at Lokis reluctantly to transform. Loki looked down at the ground in dissapointment as he clenched his fist with sand. "I can't control it.."

Garroth burst out laughing as he fell to his knees, covering his mouth to try and control his frantic outburst. Loki growled as he stood back up, evidently frustrated at being laughed at for his own weakness.

Garp as did Loki stood back up and wiped the tears from his eyes. "Cmon kid give it a try..thats a order." Garp commanded as his booming voice made his words all to clear. Loki looked up as he prepared himself.

Cmon I need to get this under control! Or else there's no point in me being gifted this artificial devil fruit!

NEKO NEKO TRANSFORMATION: FULL BODY!

Loki's body gradually grew as it began morphing into the shape of a bulky but very lean snow-colored leopard with black spots of varying sizes all over its body and a tail that looked as long as a sword, pointed upward, with the same white fur and black spots all over. Its extremely thick fur moved in the breeze as the leopard's huge fangs and long, thick, sharp claws burrowed into the ground beneath.

On the tip of the snow leopard's tail was a bit of frost covering it as the tail shook, hitting the ground. The ground below formed into a spiderweb crack.

Garp stared at the beastly transformation as he spoke."Hey brat you there?"

Silence met garp as the animal stared him down.

"Well.. guess I'll just beat you till you are!" Garp said cracking his neck as he grinned down the best.

Lokis subconscious..

Loki opened his eyes to a snow leopard almost 5 times his size standing infront of him simply staring.

"You..are you my devil fruit?!" Loki yelled at the beast. Loki didn't give it a chance to answer as he yelled once more.

"Let me control you! I can't give justice if you won't cooperate you stubborn animal!!" Loki demanded control as the beast continued staring him down.

"Why should I?" A booming manly voice erupted from the gigantic animals mouth.

"What.."

"Because I ate you!! I should be able to control you no problem!!" Loki grew frustrated.

"Im the only one who has to do this.. I've seen other zoan users master there abilities in the first day..I've had you for years.." Loki grew quiet and he looked at the ground angry.

"While its true you ate me and also true other zoan animals instantly cooperate..why should I deem you as worthy enough? all I see in you is a ignorant brat who thinks he knows whats right and wrong." The animal waved off Lokis frustration as it continued staring him down.

Loki stood contemplating what to say.

"My form of justice is the most corr-" Before loki could finish a voice interrupted him.

"No its not." The animal simply tore down his answer as he stood there confused.

"How can you tell m-" Loki once again got cut off.

"Because Im you." The animal morphed smaller..and smaller until it was a complete copy of Loki.

He was basically staring at himself.

"Whats your goal?" The animal said.

Loki stood there as he was basically looking at himself.

"Tell yourself your goal." The animal said.

"I want to become a fleet admiral." Loki said to himself.

Only then did he realize that even he himself didn't believe that.

"I want to capture all pirates." Loki said to himself.

Loki began getting frustrated as his copy wasn't responding.

"I want to become the greatest marine of all time!" Loki yelled.

To his disbelief it was just more silence as his copy had just stared at him.

The copy grew bigger and bigger until the familiar snow leopard appeared.

" Even you don't know what you want so what could I help you with if you dont even know it yourself..actually you do know what you want but you continue to deny it!"

The animals voice grew slightly louder as if it was demanding for Loki to say it.

Loki grit his teeth as he clenched his hand.

"I WANT TO BE FREE!"

The leopard smiled as it slowly began to fade away.

"We will meet again soon! But for now I entrust you with the abilities of the snow leopard!"

Those were the final words he heard before his eyes started to open.

Loki woke up in the real world as he looked around. He was on a bed with a note on a tiny table next to him saying meet me outside.

"So it was real.." Loki mumbled. Loki felt different though it was as if he had control over things he previously didn't.

Loki body was sore all over but his zoans naturally enhanced healing ability made up for it. Getting up he was in a new marine uniform as for some reason his pockets had frozen bananas in them.

Loki headed outside to see Garp and another person instructing coby and helmeppo.

"Ah the sleeping beauty has finally awoke..get ready becaus today makes your first day of your journey to the top!" Garp grinned as he declared this to not only Loki but also Cobya and Helmeppo.

"Oh yeah we'll talke later Loki." Garp whispered as he knew that Loki wanted to know what happened when he was in his subconscious.

"NOW GET TRAINING BRAT!" Garp screamed as he pointed at a empty space for loki to train at.

"100 SITUPS

100 PUSHUPS

100 SQUATS.

10 MINUTE PLANKS."

Garp yelled as the boys face dropped into sadness.

This is gonna be a loooooong journey.
