Training

Zeus started his training, it wasn't as bad as he expected. He did a classic Saitama workout, he still had some concerns that he would go bald, but apparently that was false. He was glad he wouldn't go bald, he would lose major handsome points.

Garp trained him easily enough for a bit but as the training went on it got worse and worse. Zeus was struggling to run around with a gigantic boulder at one point and Garp said "You can't even handle this, you're going to protect yourself? Fat chance brat, you're staying with me for the rest of your life!" Zeus grit his teeth and pushed on, Garp decided to give him sea stone bracelets when he was training, so he would be under even more pressure. Not only that but he also had cannon balls attached to chains from his ankles, weighing him down even more as Garp mocked him constantly, driving him forward with pure determination.

To be quite honest with you, Zeus had never trained in both his lives and he was about to die from all the harsh conditions Garp put him in. Garp was merciless in training Zeus, he threw him into jungles, forced him to do push-ups in knee deep water, Zeus almost drowned several times, Garp almost beat him into submission with his fists of love.

As the time passed, Zeus got more and more used to the training Garp put him through, sometimes he would even leave Zeus for dead on random islands, to give him survival skills claiming "Anything can happen on the job!" Zeus called bullshit and Garp knocked him out and threw him into the jungle regardless, through the process Zeus developed his own style of fighting, well he claimed it as his own but it was extremely similar to Jin Mori's renewal taekwondo, he fought Garp with it so many times he lost count.

Years passed as he trained under Garp and 7 years later

Zeus stood up the courtyard of Garp's house and stretched his limbs, Garp came out of the house and said "Oi! Brat! You have to go for your Marine entrance exam!" Zeus scoffed "With those justice dogs?" Garp smashed him in the head and said "I'm one of those 'justice dogs' you damn brat!" Zeus rubbed his head and stuck out his tongue before grabbing his mask and flashing away before Garp hit him again.

Zeus landed on the deck of a marine ship, in front of a group of young marines and said "Yo." The man looked at him and said "Kurama?" Zeus nodded "Yeah" he looked at the man and grinned behind the mask adding "Hello, Smokey." the man clenched his teeth, crushing the cigar in his mouth as he snapped "It's Smoker! You damn brat get in line!"

Zeus chuckled and stood with the rest of the group, not paying attention to anything as he zoned out of the explanation. The only thing he heard was "Justice!" from some of the young marines next to him, he chuckled and shook his head before walking away to the edge of the deck and sitting on the railing, staring out into the sea as the ship slowly sailed away.

A group of marines looked at him and whispered "Why does he wear a mask?"

"I don't know why don't you ask him?"

"I'm not asking him, you ask!"

"Eh? I'm not asking him! What if he's ugly?"

"That might be why he wears a mask!"

The marines looked like they found out a secret that was centuries old as they all nodded and said "That's definitely why." Zeus snapped "You're ugly! You're whole family's ugly!" as electricity crackled around him, the marines scattered and ran away while Zeus laughed and went back to looking at the sea.

Smoker walked over to him and Zeus looked over saying "Hey Smokey! Lookin' good today! Shishishi" Smoker seethed "It's SMOKER." Zeus waved his hand and said "Whatever you say Smokey." Smoker almost threw him off the boat and Zeus added "Wanna be friends?" as he held out his hand, Smoker slapped his hand away and said "You will call me Lieutenant Smoker, do you understand?"

Zeus rolled his eyes and said "Yeah yeah, Lieutenant Smokey. I'll make my friend, just you wait." he chuckled and continued "By the way, are we going to fight or something for the exam?" Smoker grit his teeth and took a deep breath, trying to keep himself from throwing Kurama into the ocean and walking away. Eventually he said "Yes. Why?" Zeus took out a gun and shot himself through the hand, Smoker watched the bullet pass through and said "A logia?" Zeus nodded and Smoker rubbed his chin saying "That's a problem.."

Zeus said "Just get my cuffs and cut the chains, i'll be fine." Smoker gave him an evil smile and said "You sure about that?" Zeus grinned and said "Yessir." Smoker cuffed him on the spot and said "Good luck brat." Zeus looked at the cuffs and said "You forgot to cut the middle!" Smoker walked away saying "No I didn't." Zeus chased after him and said "Wait! I don't have a key either!" and the duo disappeared on the boat.

A few days later

The marine ship stopped at a jungle island and Smoker called all the recruits together saying "Listen up shit heads! Your exam will be fighting against the beasts on the island! There are snails set up around the island and I will watch you all. Go." Zeus hopped off the ship and walked into the jungle with the cuffs still on, whistling as he went.

Zeus fought against the beasts and took them out pretty easily, he had to say, he was pretty strong himself. Zeus muttered to himself "I guess all that training wasn't put to waste.. Fucking old man was right.." as he kicked a gorilla's head in, sending it flying through the forest, before continuing on.

He was walking when suddenly he heard a cry for help, he turned his head and saw a girl trembling in fear from a giant gorilla. Zeus flashed in front of her and kicked the gorilla in the head, smashing it into the ground. He turned around and helped the girl up saying "You okay?" she nodded and Zeus said "Good, see you later then." before walking away, she reached out and said "Wait what's your name?" Zeus waved his hand over his shoulder and said "Kurama." she said "I'm Liz, thank you for saving me!"

Zeus wordlessly waved his hand and disappeared back into the jungle.

He came across two giant beasts, he grinned and charged forward kicking the head of the giant Crocodile, sending it flying before jumping over the gorilla's punch and spin kicking it in the face. Zeus landed on the ground and said "What's with the gorillas here..." the two animals silently agreed to attack Zeus at the same time and both charged at him.

Zeus grinned and jumped on the crocodile's head before running down the crocodile's back and grabbing on to it's tail. Zeus spun the crocodile around and used it as a weapon against the giant gorilla, sending both the animals flying into a rock formation and passing out. He laughed and heard the horn, signifying the end of the exam so he walked back to the ship.

Zeus arrived back on the ship and in front of Smoker as he held out his wrists and grinned. Smoker grumbled and uncuffed him, Zeus chuckled and rubbed his wrists saying "You owe me a drink." Smoker scoffed and said "You sure you got first place?" Zeus nodded and said "100%" Smoker threw him into a wall on the deck and announced the recruits who passed, Zeus was first place and Liz, the little girl from the forest was last, just barely passing.

Zeus was surprised but didn't really care too much, he was thinking about other things, like how to convince that damn old man to teach him Haki and the 6 powers. Not that they would all be used constantly but it was better than nothing, plus he was here already, why not.

A week passed

Zeus was finally back at Marineford, he said goodbye to Smoker, and flashed away back to Garp's place, when he landed arrived he walked inside saying "Gramps! Where the fuck are you?" Garp grumbled from the couch "Who taught you to speak like that?" Zeus chuckled and said "You. Anyway, teach me the six powers and Haki please!" Garp squinted at him and said "You want to learn all that?" Zeus nodded with a smiled and Garp grinned "Looks like the 9th layer of Hell training awaits!"

Zeus shivered and gulped saying "9-9-9th layer?" Garp stood up and said maliciously "Everything we've done up until now will look like heaven! Bwahahahahahah Get ready brat! Training starts now!" Zeus foamed at the mouth and collapsed mumbling "Why me..." Garp dragged him away laughing.

And so Zeus started his training again, he learnt everything in his Hell training. Observation Haki, Armament Haki, Shigan, Geppo, Soru, Rankyaku, Kami-e, Tekkai, and how to control his devil fruit better. He even learned how to summon a red thunder cloud, that he could fly on. He was ecstatic at the event and continued his training.

Garp made him a training plan, A 10km run every morning with weights, then Observation Haki training, after lunch, 6 skills training along with Armament Haki training. Zeus though Tekkai was kind of redundant, why would you want to stand still in a fight? Especially when you could just learn Haki instead, but he learnt it anyways so that he could use the Rokugan in the future. Garp pummeled him every day for years, sometimes Zeus would go out and take a break, so he would meet up with Smoker and request to be in his unit. Smoker said no but Zeus told Sengoku directly and he allowed it.

Zeus went back to Smoker and grinned at him, Smoker grinded his teeth and cursed him for being a shameless bastard. Zeus laughed and they talked every time Zeus was on a break, they became sort of close friends and would spar against each other some times.

3 years passed by slowly

On a marine ship heading for Loguetown, Smoker was standing at the head of the ship, smoking two cigars as usual and Zeus was standing next to him. Zeus had white hair, along with a Kitsune mask on, there was a deep cut over the left eye of the mask. He was around 6ft and had a lieutenant marine jacket draped over his shoulders with a white dress shirt and a loose black skinny tie, the first 2 buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned and showed off his neck, his sleeves were rolled up and his shirt was tucked into his black dress pants. He had a black belt with a gold lightning bolt belt buckle, he also had black dress shoes on.

He reached his hand to his mouth and grabbed the cigarette out of his mouth, exhaling a mouthful of smoke as he said "You're fine with staying on this island?" Smoker said "I don't really care." Zeus rubbed his mask where his forehead was saying "You're fucked Smokey." Smoker scoffed and said "Says you, what happened on Marineford again?"

Zeus complained "Soooorry, she was too loud for the other residents." Smoker shook his head and said "You're lucky they sent you out, she was a vice admiral's daughter." Zeus chuckled and said "So? She was a horny sl-" Tashigi ran up and faceplanted into the floor, Zeus stopped mid sentence and looked at Tashigi, he sighed and said "What's with you? Why are you always falling on the floor?"

Tashigi rubbed her face as she said "I tripped.." Zeus shook his head and Smoker said "We saw. Get up Tashigi, were almost there." Zeus yawned and flicked his cigarette into the ocean saying "I need a vacation.." Smoker chuckled and said "Your whole lift up until now has been a vacation."

Zeus retorted "Not true! We took down those worthless pirates on that island uhh, what was it called again?" Smoker said "Tyrant's peak." Zeus snapped his fingers and said "Yeah there!" Smoker deadpanned and said "They were roasted when we found them.." Zeus waved and said "They were terrorizing citizens, who cares what happens to those kind of pirates?"

Smoker tilted his head and said "You expect any less from pirates?" Zeus said "Not all pirates are rapists and murderers, some of them are good pirates!" Smoker shook his head and Zeus stopped him saying "Right right 'Justice above all' I don't want to hear that garbage anymore. If I have to listen to one more brainwashing seminar, I'm going to kill myself."

Smoker chuckled and Tashigi said "Brainwashing?" Zeus looked at her and said "What do you think of the marines Tashigi?" as he looked at Smoker and mouthed 'Righteous', just as he suspected, Tashigi held her head high and said "Righteous!" Zeus laughed and knocked on her head saying "Right. Maybe one day you'll see the other side of the coin, Glasses."

Tashigi frowned and said "My name isn't Glasses!" Zeus looked up and said "How do the marine rankings go again?" Tashigi clenched her teeth and Smoker laughed as they docked at Loguetown.

A while later

Zeus was sitting in Smoker's office and said "I'm going for a vacation. I'll be back later." Smoker waved and said "Whatever." Zeus chuckled "I'll get you something while I'm gone! Maybe you should call up Hina?" as he laughed and left, Smoker snapped "Get the fuck out!" Zeus saluted and said "Of course Captain Smoker!" before laughing wildly and disappearing as Smoker threw a lamp at him.

Zeus bumped into Tashigi as he was leaving, she fell on her ass and pouted "Damnit!" Zeus picked her up and patted her cheeks saying "Look alive Glasses! You're a big bad scary marine now!" Tashigi pouted and said "My name's not Glasses!" Zeus waved and said "Truly unfortunate, anyway see you later~" Tashigi looked at him and said "Where you going?"

Zeus called down his cloud and said "Vacation, about fucking time too!" as he jumped on the cloud and flew away waving at Tashigi and yelling "Bye Glasses! Hopefully you'll get bigger the next time I see you! Hahahahaha" Tashigi glared at him as her face turned red from embarrassment, she touched her tits and said "They're not that small..." before walking back into the marine building.

Zeus was laying down on the cloud looking at a map, with a compass in his hands muttering "Fuck these maps, I wish I had a god damn GPS.." he looked around, sitting up and picked a direction before shooting off in the sky.

After what felt like forever, Zeus finally landed on an island. He walked into a bar and a little girl greeted him saying "Hello big brother!" Zeus crouched down and rubbed her hair with static electricity, making her hair get all spiky and puffed out. Zeus laughed and said "What's your name little girl?" The little girl said "Rika!" Zeus smiled and said "Kurama. Have you seen any big brothers with a straw hat and green hair?"

Rika nodded and said "Yeah! They saved the town! They're my heroes!" Zeus chuckled and said "Do you know when they left?" Rika touched her chin in thought and said "Maybe a day ago? Are you going to capture them?" Zeus shook his head and said "I'm going to congratulate them Rika! Heroes need medals, no?"

Rika nodded seriously and said "And cookies!" Zeus laughed and nodded "And of course cookies too!" He pulled out a little stuffed bear and gave it to her saying "Here you go, little cutie! See you later!" Rika hugged the bear and giggled "Thanks Big Brother!" Zeus smiled and left the bar, summoned down his cloud and left the island, towards Orange town.

When he arrived at Orange town, he saw Buggy go flying into the sky and shook his head saying "How did he not die? Anime logic is crazy.." before thinking about it "Does that mean I have anime logic too?" and gasping with stars in his eyes "Maybe my eyes and pop out of their sockets too! What a life!" while he was in his reverie, the three pirates ran from the villagers and boarded their boats, sailing away.

Zeus snapped out of it and followed them, turning his red cloud to white as he went. He laid down on the cloud and surveyed them from above mumbling "I feel like a stalker.. Whatever, doesn't matter." he clenched his fist and said "I'll be the greatest stalker of all time!"

Meanwhile

Nami was looking around and said "Does that cloud look like its following us to you guys?" she looked over and saw Luffy and Zoro sleeping on the ship, she sighed and continued "I'll go fuck myself then.." as the ships sailed away towards the next island.
