[Somewhere in the New World],
"Gurararara!...It seems that East Blue has birthed another troublesome kid" An abnormally large man with a prominent crescent-shaped mustache was reading the newspaper in amusement. He proceeded to take a sip from his huge bottle of sake before he was interrupted.
"What a chaotic era you created…Roger"
The man was none other than Whitebeard, The strongest man in the world.
"Oyaji! A new rookie is here to challenge you!" A blonde-haired young man informed him.
"Young ones these days…They don't know when to stop"
…
"Are you serious Captain?! Are you really going to fight the strongest man in the world?!"
"Ah..." A tall muscular man with a silky black hair and a pale skin replied in a deep, relaxed voice while smoking a thick cigar "Here they come…"
"So, you're the who dares to come here and challenge me, young man?" Whitebeard came thoroughly followed by his crew.
"I'm Crocodile, the man who's going to take your head…Shirohige!" Crocodile declared before he charged towards Whitebeard.
"Gurararara!...It seems that I should teach you a lesson brat!"
…
[Unknown Island]
"Captain did you read the newspaper?!"
"Ah!" A silver haired man was reading the newspaper in interest "You finally showed yourself…Demon of The Sea"
['Silver Rain' Seth Williams Captain of Williams Pirates, Dead or Alive 165.000.000 Berries]
"It seems that he caused trouble right after he showed up" A black-haired man with an eye patch stated.
[Itsu Allison combat crewman of Williams Pirates, Dead or Alive 55.000.000 Berries]
"Tch…He surpassed my bounty even after disappearing for a year and a half" The silver haired man proceeded to throw the newspaper "I'll have to teach him a lesson when we meet in the New World"
…
[Water Seven],
"Not bad…I have a feeling that we will meet again soon"
[Aela Kristin Captain of Guardian Angel Pirates, Dead or Alive 110.000.000 Berries]
"Big sister! The ship is ready!"
"Alright, let's set sail!"
…
[Jaya, Mock Town],
(First Person POV),
We are currently at Mock Town's port. We have just ducked the ship and we are making our way to the town.
"Da-da-daradaa…Arittakeno yume wo kaki atsume…Sagashi mono sagashi ni yuku no sa!" Yamamoto was singing the song that I taught them "One Piece!"
"You really like the song, ha?" I said in amusement while I joined him.
"I also like it" Calvin said while humming.
"Maah…I liked the other song better. It suits my taste!" Ian said to me. I also taught them some other songs that I knew of.
"It soo good, I love it!!" Yamamoto declared and kept singing until we reached a bar with a sign that said 'Pub and Pies'.
I smiled when I read it 'It's the bar where Luffy and Blackbeard met for the first time' I proceeded to go in.
The bar went silence as we stepped in, we proceeded to walk towards an empty table and called the waiter.
"Hoi old man! Bring some food and drinks!" Ian said while he got comfortable. A huge man with an arm tattoo approached us to take our order.
"I want some of that cherry pie that you have on the menu!" I ordered.
"I'm okay with a drink" Calvin and the rest also ordered.
"Chery pie, meat, and drinks…" He looked at me for second before he spoke "You're that super rookie everyone is talking about"
"It looks like I became famous"
"Well, tell me if you need anything else" he said, then he left before he came back later with the order.
"Hmm! This is pretty good!" I exclaimed as I took a bite from the cherry pie.
"Boss, come to think of it, you never told us why you went through the trouble to get an Eternal Pose for this place?" Ken asked me.
"*Smile*… We are going to the sky" I said, as I pointed my index finger upwards.
"What do you mean by the sky captain?" Yamamoto asked, as everyone was confused at what I said.
"We are going to visit the sky island!!" I loudly declared and proceeded to take another bite from my cherry pie. Everyone looked dumbfounded at my statement.
"Are you serious? This the first I hear about an island in the sky!" Diana said.
"Well, I won't be surprised if there is something like that, and since Ashen said so, I'm going to believe him" Calvin said while he took a sip from his drink.
"Pfftt…Hoi did you hear what he said? Did he hit his head or something?" Someone said from behind.
"Shhhht, shut your mouth. Do you have a death wish?"
"But-"
"Which bastard dared to laugh?!" Ian said in a menacing tone of voice before he stood from his chair.
"I said did your captain hit his head or something? Is he daydreaming?" A guy sitting on the back replied in a provocative way.
"You're a dead meat!" Just as Ian was about to start a fight, I told to stand down.
"Just let him be!"
"But-"
"Let them laugh if they want" I said "When you aim high, you sometimes come across fights not worth fighting" Ian looked at him while clenching his fist before he came back and sat on his chair again.
"You call yourselves pirates? huh!?...You're just daydreamers!" The man shouted at our direction "This is the new era!" He declared "The era where pirates have dreams will be over!!"
"The era where pirates have dreams will be over!?" I grabbed my drink and took a sip before I slammed it at the table "*SLAM!!*…People's dreams…have no end!" I proceeded to get on my feet and leave.
"Zehahaha!…let's go you guys, we're done here"
'I can't believe something like that just happened. Giving the Blackbeard speech felt pretty awesome!'
"That was cool Captain!"
"What's that weird laugh?" Diana pointed out.
"Zehahaha, let's find a hotel to stay at"
'I think I just became addicted to Blackbeard's laugh' I though while we made our way to the Tropical Hotel.
…
A few days later,
I was at an empty spot in a near forest. I was carrying a sword in my right hand while coating my left one with Armament Haki since I still can't use Hardening and Imbuement yet.
I'm currently training my Haki and swordsmanship. Unfortunately, I didn't get the chance to use my sword in the last fight.
In the past year and half, I've also trained a little in basics of swordsmanship, and tried to get familiar with it. I also started combining my devil fruit power and sword attacks.
"Huff…Huff…I think it's time move" I sheathed my sword and made my way back to the town's port.
"Are we ready!" I asked Ken.
"Yes! But are we really going to the sky!"
"Don't worry I know the right way" Everyone proceeded to embark.
"The log pose should point to the Sky Island direction" I stated.
"Oh…" Ken brought the log pose and started sailing the ship in the direction it points.
When we arrived at the location, there was nothing there except the blue sea.
"There is nothing here…" Ken said.
"Hey! Are you sure this is the right way?" Ian asked me.
"Yes, there is knocked up stream that happens 5 times a month" I informed them "We will wait here and wait for it" They all looked confused but decided to trust my words.
Two days later,
We are currently calmly waiting in the middle of the sea. I was taking a quick nap before I heard Ken's voice.
"Boss!!"
"Huh? What's going on?"
"Something weird is happening" he pointed ahead.
The water ahead of us started splashing upwards and waves became more aggressive.
"Quickly move the ship right there!!" I shouted at him, and he quickly proceeded to move the ship.
"What's happening?" Everyone looked nervous while waiting for my answer.
"Brace yourselves gentlemen…we are going to Sky Island!" After a few seconds the waves became more aggressive until suddenly a powerful pressurized water stream shot us upwards.
"WHOOOO!!!!" x6
"BOSS!! YOU DIDN'T SAY WE ARE GOING TO FLY!!!"
"Hahaha! What did you expect?!...This so fun!!" I was screaming in excitement.
"We are flying! Amazing!" Yamamoto shouted while holding onto the ship's mast.
"Ahhhhh! we're going to die!"
"No, we're not" I said.
After a few minutes, the knock up stream finally tossed us into the air before the ship landed.
"Aghh!! Did we arrive?" Ian asked while holding his head from dizziness "White Sea?"
"We finally made it!"
