1 This guy is weird

Drum Island, Grand Line

On a snowy path on drum island, a man with a black trench coat and a black hat was making his way to a nearby town when he spotted an unconscious man that was half-buried deep in the snow.

"Hmm? this guy is weird why would he sleep here?" The man said to himself as he approached the unconscious person.

*Pat* *Pat*

"Oy, wake up! aren't you freezing?" The man patted the unconscious man a few times and tried to wake him up.

Seeing the person not planning on waking up the man with the black hat sighed as he carried the unconscious person on his shoulder and made his way towards the town.

As he started walking the unconscious person's eyes twitched and he raised his head only to see snow around him.

"Where am I?" The man asked when he realized that he was being carried.

When the black hat man heard this he stopped walking and threw the man on the snow and said, "Haaa, it's good that you're awake! and why are you asking me where you are? aren't you from this place?"

The man who was suddenly thrown down looked at the black hat man and replied, "I don't know, by the way, what happened to Azazel? did I manage to kill him?"

The black hat man raised his eyebrow and rubbed his glabella, "I really don't know what you are talking about, how about we go to the town first so that we can ask around."

The man nodded his head and stood up while introducing himself, "I don't know how I got here and why I am not injured but my name is Jin Kazama."

The black hat man smiled and replied, "Nice to meet you Jin, you can call me Ace."

As they started making their way towards the town Jin noticed that the devil gene tattoo on his arm was gone, 'It's gone? does it mean that Azazel really died? and if so then why am I in this unknown snowy place.' Jin thought, he didn't even look excited knowing that the tattoo he had been dreading for his entire life was finally gone, and was curious to know how he got here.

"So Jin, where are you from?" Ace asked.

Jin snapped out from his thoughts and replied, "I'm from Japan that is situated in Asia."

"Huh? Japan? Asia? Is that in the four seas or the grand line?" Confused, Ace asked trying to know where exactly he came from.

Shaking his head, Jin answered "I don't know what you are talking about, Ace. this is my first time hearing the term four seas and grand line."

Ace stopped and looked at Jin seriously, after a few moments he laughed and patted Jin's shoulder, "You're really weird, how on earth will you not know about the four seas or grand line stop trying to pull my leg."

"Ace" Jin called out, he looked at Ace straight in the eye and asked with a serious voice, he was a level headed guy so he instantly knew that something was wrong when he found out that no one knows about Asia or Japan, he also didn't even know what the four seas or grand line were.

"Can you tell where we are right now, and can you explain what is the four seas and grand line?"

Ace sensed the seriousness in Jin's voice so he started explaining, "We are currently on Drum Island, an island that is situated in the grand line. the four seas are called north blue, south blue, west, and east blue." he then furthered explain about the red line and how to get into the grand line and how the grand line being the battlefield of the pirates and marines.

Taking all of this new information Jin confirmed that he was now on another planet and maybe he was teleported here by Azazel after he defeated him, he wasn't also worried about Azazel being alive because his devil gene tattoo was already gone meaning that Azazel was dead.

He then turned his attention towards Ace who was patiently waiting for him to digest everything he said.

'Telling them that I am not from this world is out of the question because I don't know how they'll react and it will only bring more troubles to me in the future.' Jin thought and decided to not tell anyone about his origins.

"Ace, thank you for the information." Jin thanked Ace for the valuable information he got.

Ace laughed and said while continuing walking, "No worries, what I told you is general information that every person knows, I'm curious as to why you don't know anything about it?"

Jin smiled and replied, "Everyone has their secrets, so I would appreciate it if you would not ask any further questions about my origins."

"Oh? what a straightforward guy, you could've just made up a lie and I would gladly accept it." Ace said with a silly smile on his face.

"Thank you for your understanding, Ace"

Ace waved his hands indicating that he didn't mind it.

"So what is your plan now, Jin? I need to go to town and ask if my little has been here."

Jin thought for a moment, he didn't have any clue what kind of planet this was so the best choice was to follow Ace that he just met but he didn't know if he was a good or bad guy.

"Before I answer your question can you spar with me first?" Jin asked, he decided that if he was stronger than Ace then it is safe to follow Ace for a while until he familiarizes himself on this new planet.

"Hehehe, Let's go!" Ace replied as he dropped his bag and prepared to fight.

Jin took his stance and breathed calmly, he then dashed towards Ace and gave a one-two punch combo.

*swoosh!* *swoosh!*

"WTF?!"

As soon as his fist touched Ace's skin his fist suddenly burned as his fist buried inside Ace's body.

Looking at the shocked expression of Jin, Ace smiled evilly and said, "I ate the flare-flare fruit which makes me a flame man so you can't damage me with your normal punch, hehe."

"What is going on here?" Jin immediately retracted his fist and jumped back.

"Seeing your reaction makes me wonder what your background really is, you don't even know what a devil fruit is even though you're in the grand line." Ace said as he looked at Jin with a weird and curious look.
