Gathering’s of the Strong

After reading the newspaper while eating his breakfast, Adam went out of the 5 Star Hotel, straight out from the Hotel Town, and went to Shakky;s Rip-off Bar.

Cling ! Cling !

The sound of the door bell, and two people look at the young man who enters.

' HAHAHA Good morning Miss Shakuyaku, old man Rayleigh..' Adam greet them with his big smile.

' Good morning to you too.. Adam-chan..' Shakuyaku greet back, while Rayleigh just look at Adam and lazily nod.

' 1 billion berries.. Thats quite a lot for the first reward Adam-chan..' Shakuyaku said ignitting her smoke.

' Not my true value, and bounties.. When the sword is picked up by me, maybe then the World Government will directly issue the bounty for my head. HAHAHAHHAHA ! ' Adam laugh after sitting near them.

' You see Adam-chan. Kaido when change to his Devil Fruit form, his flying speed is increased. From Wano to here, he will arrive at the same time the island appear. ' Shakuyaku said.

' Kaido? Good... Its better... The more lively is, the more better... How about the Big Mom Pirates, is there any movement Miss Shakuyaku ?' Adam ask interestedly.

' Theres no movement, even they come here. The island will already disappear, from Whole Cake Island to here with their fastest speed spends almost a week. The Big Mom Pirates actually didnt care about this event that happened every year too much, and Chalotte Perospero actualy just unlucky this year meeting you..' Shakuyaku said explain.

' Is it? Then thats too bad.. So when will the island appear, i cant wait..' Adam ask eagerly.

Before Shakuyaku or Rayleigh reply, the whole Sabaody shakes a bit.

' Hahaha its coming.. This location.. it was in the middle from here to Marine Headquarters..' Adam said closing his eyes and focus with his Observation Haki. Adam Observation Haki can be used 20km with him as the center, but if he focus to one direction, the distance was directly triple which is around 60km.

' Yes.. Between Sabaody and Marine Headquarters. ' Shakuyaku said.

' So every year, the Marines and World Government will take the north side of the island, while the people from the Sabaody will take the south part.' Rayleigh said.

' So doesnt the Marines will be troublesome every year many pirates gather not too far from their headquarter? Hahahahha ' Adam laugh.

' Yes.. At this time, the guard is always in high alert.. Many high level Marines will gather at this time every year. Some will go to the island, while some stays on the headquarters..' Shakuyaku explain with a smile.

' HAHAHA im so excited.. Old man you going?' Adam said with enthusiasm.

' No need, the two of us will watch from the shore. Im an retire old man, not my time anymore. Its the younger generation era.. In 3 hour the island will appear on the surface..' Rayleigh said with a smile.

' Thats too bad, then ill go alone.. HAHAHA' Adam said while walking out the bar with his excited steps.

' Goodluck Adam-chan !!' Shakuyaku shout and cheer .

' That kid..' Rayleigh said helplessly.

' It will be very lively this year..' Shakuyaku said with a smile, after Adam went out of the bar.

Just as Adam went outside the bar, the pirates, and any other forces all gets busy and start preparing and boarding their ship. Adam who use his Observation Haki to observe many excited people felt into meditation.

' Whose ship should i board ?' Adam thought while walking leisurely toward the shore where many ships from different forces park.

Many people looking at Adam walking leisurely toward the shore give away. Most of them scared to get near him, because people who gets near him will scared to be targeted by two of the Four Emperor. And Adam just ignore them and keep walking.

Adam can feel some hostility toward himself, mostly from the forces who works with the people Adam caught 3 days ago, but still Adam didnt care.

But doesnt mean that Adam didnt care but he can be targeted or provoked.

Door !!

A sound of gunshot were heard, people around only look at a young handsome man wearing a blue ripped jeans, white t shirt and sky blue denim jacket raise his right hand and catch a bullet between his thumb and index finger pinching it.

Hiss...

People gets nervous when the young handsome man which was Adam stop his step and look toward the distance who shoot. Seing Adam dropping the bullet in his right hand, and make a pointing figure toward the distance, everyone look at the direction. But Adam didnt actualy point them, but use his Finger Gun toward the person who shoot him.

Then before everyone turn to look at the direction Adam pointed to, a yellow light appear like a bullet straight to where Adam pointed to.

Then everyone saw a man with ugly and ferocious look holding a rifle have a small hole in his heart, and slowly fall back on the spot. And the man can only die with shocked and regret look on his face.

Hiss.....

Everyone felt a cold on their back and hurriedly staying away from the young handsome man, and thought in their heart.

' Too fast..'

' Dont provoke.. Dont provoke.'

Adam continue walking with his blank face after killing that person, Adam remembers that this is world with strength is respected. Raising a weapon means ready and prepare for death, so he doesnt feel anything wrong. Besides, Adam can feel that the man who shoot him was a cold blooded person.

Arriving at the shore, Adam sits leisurely and wait for the island to surface in the distance. Many people stay away from him and Adam didnt care and take out a snacks from his Storage Ring and eating quietly. While using his Observation Haki to many famous and strong people around.

Seeing many famous people around, Adam is very excited but his face remain calm. Shanks ' Red Hair' the captain of the Red Hair Pirates one of the Four Emperor with his crew, Marco the phoenix 1st divission commander of the Whitebeard Pirates with his crew too.

Adam currently felt into a tangled position, the two of them were also a pirates, but they were not ferocious, but still a lawless forces. To be the Emperor of the World, Adam need to erase the Four Emperor existence, but was tangled with them, except the Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates.

For Shanks, Adam didnt really know his true identity. Why can he appear at Mariejoa, when the Levely was going on 3 years later. The Four Emperor identity, 3 of them were directly from the same Pirates before they become Four Emperor, which was the Rocks Pirates. Only Shanks which was the the former member of the Roger Pirates.

Adam still doesnt understand about the legendary Rocks Pirates and other things that havent been revealed. The last information Adam know about the One Piece World was when Kaido turn into a huge eastern blue dragon.

Adam felt a helpless and drop them behind his head to think later. And continue to look around the forces gather here.

Adam didnt see any Seven Warlords of the Sea here, maybe they were not interested or will be weird appearing here. With pirates calling them 'government dogs' , yes it will be weird to appear on this side, if it appear on the Marines sides, maybe it wont be weird.

Adam face changed and look toward the distance, not only Adam look a certain distance. Many strong people also look toward into it. And was seen soon was a coffin-shaped raft with two candles green-flamed candles, a single black sail and single seat.

On the single seat, a tall lean man with black hair, short beard, mustache and sideburns that point upwards was seen. He wears black and red ornate clothing with a crucifix pendant that Adam's knows that it hides a little dagger, which gaves him the appearance of a Spanish swordsman. His attire consists of a wide-brimmed black hat decorated with a large plume, and a long, open black coat with no shirt underneath, with red, flower-patterned sleeves and collar. He wears light purple pants held up by a decorated belt and tucked inside overly large boots in comparison to his leg size.

He wears a kogatana around his neck, appearing as a golden cross-shaped necklace, and carries a huge sword 'Yoru' on his back.

' Thats ' Hawk Eyes' Dracule Mihawk ! What he is doing here?'

' Stupid, are you new here? He will always appear and try to pick the Excalibur.'

' So which camp is he?'

' Even he was one of the government dogs, it was not a secret he has a good relationship with 'Red Hair. Look, his coffin shaped raft park next to Red Hair Pirates ship.'

The scene were a bit lively, Mihawk didnt care any of them and keep his blank handsome face. Only a short glance towards Adam then remove his sight.

Adam smirk, not many people know Adam is a swordsman, only the high ranking Marines, Rayleigh and Shakuyaku. If Adam release his sword momentum, maybe Mihawk will directly ask for a fight on the spot.

The sword duel with Borsalino somehow was supressed, and only knows by the marines.

' HAHAHAHA MIHAWK, SEE YOU AGAIN. COME ON BOARD I HAVE A GOOD WINE HERE. HAHAHAHA!' Shanks shout loud leaning on the rail inviting Mihawk.

' Good.' Mihawk said and jump toward Shanks ship.

The only pirates here who keep their lively atmosphere was the Red Hair Pirates, Adam felt a little envious but thats it. He doesnt know well and dont know what reason to approach them.

Adam keep eating his snacks while sitting straight boringly. Until the time was near and two cloak figure hiding their faces appear beside him.

Adam face turned into a smile with a gratitude in his heart someone accompany him before the island appear. While the other people around only curious who the two cloak person appear beside Adam. Only one person among them giving a smile and gentle look toward the two figure in the cloak. But nobody see it shanks moves, only several of his crew see it.

' Hahaha.. Sit here old man, and this beautiful miss.' Adam said then a tatami table and two tatami chair along with the comfortable expensive cushion.

Adam location is very good, with flat and sea view.

' Hahaha good.' Rayleigh said and direclt sits on the tatami chair, followed by Shakuyaku who reply with a smile.

Looking at the empty table, Adam quiet for a moment, then moments later a deluxe sushi & sashimi platter appear, along with the expensive sake.

Looking at the sake, Rayleigh face hidden under the cloak smile becoming bigger.

' Ahh.. Its my first time tasting sushi this delicious.' Shakuyaku said with her low voice and enjoyable and favor face.

' Then try this sashimi, dont forget the sauce. Its still fresh..' Adam said while eating too.

Adam already compare the food in this world and from the Earth store he bought. The food in One Piece World cant be compared its deliciousness with the Earth World, because the food in this world doesnt have much ingredients and seasonings. But still the One Piece World still have an advantage, that was the meat. The taste of the meat of animals in this world is more delicious, especially the Sea Kings.

But the food infront of Adam, Rayleigh and Shakuyaku cant be said not delicious, because Adam directly order in the Earth Store which was very expensive and cook by two michelin stars chef which Adam read in the description.

People around looking at the three people enjoy their dishes like in the picnic situation with envious, but still no one dare to get near remembering the incident not long ago.

Some people were curious how the things appear out of thin air, but they can only curious and talk around as the topic, and the three people who are enjoying the dishes didnt mind them.
