59 The New Member

We see the strength upgraded of Luffy after listening the explanation from the other Moria victims. Oz is slammed several times, slashed and Moria also is punched by Luffy. "We're counting on you, Strawhat!!! We want to walk under sun again!!!" The Moria victims shouted. The strengthened Luffy also immediately uses his 'Rubber Storm' to attack both Oz and Moria. After finishing the attack, the shadows are all come out from the inside of Luffy's body.

The battle with Oz ends just like in the original, he is smashed until can't even gets up again. Moria gets out from the tummy of Oz, "A true pirate fears not even death! Strawhat How dare you have the gall to wreck such reckless havoc across my Thriller Bark!!!", he also tells us that in 'New World' our power are still not enough. He uses 'Shadows Asgard' to collect 1000 shadows into his body and foolishly destroys the foundation of ship's main mast .

The sun is finally rising, all Moria victims are scared and only their leader, Lola isn't afraid. She is waiting the defeat of Moria in the open space, Luffy uses his 'Gear Third Giant Fist' to Moria, the blast also makes the mast of Thriller Bark fell on Moria. The shadows are all immediately come out from the mouth of Gecko Moria, "Straw-hat, you go see yourself... What a real nightmare is! In 'The New World'".

Luffy's shadow is returned, and he is unconscious caused by the exhaustion, Usopp worries about the fighting style of Luffy then all former Moria's victims thank us for rescuing their shadows, "Even you thank us, Luffy would say so, old man we just fought on our own terms... You guys were just saved as an extra" Zoro told them but got smacked by Nami, "What are you talking about!? To people who want to repay us, too!!".

We suddenly hear the talking between Bartholomew Kuma with Sengoku that he must obliterates every single soul on Thriller Bark. Zoro's and Sanji's attacks are repelled or blocked by Kuma's abilities then Franky is almost attacked after he said something wrong, if i don't interrupt with my Busoshoku Haki's Middle Stage.

Kuma is very surprised and curious with the strength of my Haki and I also tell him that this is my clan secret technique of the modified Haki. "I want to test my strength with you, Kuma.", I and him exchange blows for several times, his strength is really above 1 or 2 level from the current Straw-Hats. His ability attacks are meaningless in front of my overpowered Haki, he uses 'Ursus Shock' to threat us.

He releases that bomb and I counter it by using the concept of 'Sekizou Evening Elephant' with my Haki fist to destroy the after shock from the bomb. "You still want to fight again, Kuma. I didn't even use half of my power, only 20%, you know." When I said these words, all of people are surprised especially Kuma and Straw-Hats members. "Ok, you Straw-Hats win. I'll leave now", He disappeared and appeared again looking afar on the edge of Thriller Bark, "Dragon, Your son have incredible crew members."

Hogback and Absalom finally escape from Thriller Bark with the unconscious Gecko Moria, they really can escape because Absalom's invisible ability then talk about Ace's imprisonment from the newspaper. We begin to prepare the feast for defeating Gecko Moria, Luffy and the others can't believe that there're many treasures in Thousand Sunny.

Brook is playing 'Binks' Sake' with the piano during the feast and Luffy asks Brook to become his crew member again. Brook recalled his past about his activity as Rumba Pirate member, meeting with Laboon, the interactions with Laboon, temporary separation with Laboon, the death of his Rumba pirate captain, the death of Rumba pirate, and the lonely feelings of him.

Brook replays the song in 'Tone Dial' after that he says to us, "I have finally heard news that Laboon is still healthy and awaiting my return... I have finally recovered my shadow and can escape from these accursed waters. This dial, with everyone's voices recorded upon it exists so that i can take it to Laboon. I'm so glad to be alive!!! Ah, can i became your nakama?". Luffy immediately agrees with Brook's request.

After playing with Luffy and the others, "I have still not introduced myself properly, my name is Brook. Also known as 'Humming' Brook, my bounty is 33 millions Beri!!! StrawHat Luffy, From this day forth i pledge you my life and offer you my service!! I hope not to be a burden to you all!!" Brook formally introduced himself.

Franky, Chopper and Usopp make the grave for Brook's former comrades, The Rumba Pirate then Zoro also puts the damaged Yubashiri on this grave. When we will leave Thriller Bark and separate with Moria's victim, Lola calls Nami to talk something, I am surprised by the strength of fate. Although Nami didn't interact with Lola but they still become friends, she gives Big mom's vivre card to Nami and also explains the functions of vivre card. Luffy shows Ace's burned vivre card to Lola and us.

"It's almost the time where 'the war of best' will begin" I thought after see Ace's burned vivre card. After awhile traveling, we prepare the feast again for our new member 'Musician' Brook. "Bartholomew Kuma. Are you saying that they ran away, in spite of your ability?! Make a better excuse!! I'm the one that has to report it to the higher-ups!! Don't tell me you felt pity for the injured pirates." Sengoku scolded Kuma at Holy Land 'Mariejoa' while annoyed by Garp.

After several days little uncomfortable traveling we arrive at other Red Line again that connected Grand Line and New World. I call Luffy and the others for teaching all of them Busoshoku Haki's Middle Stage, then 'Nature's Blessing', the essence of Rokushiki and Kenbunshoku Haki to Brook. They immediately agree with me then I cast Infinity Tsukuyomi again to them.

The best person that have learned the essences of Kenbunshoku Haki in order now are Luffy, Usopp, Sanji = Zoro, Nami = Robin, Brook and Chopper = Franky. The best person that have learned Busoshoku's Haki Middle Stage in order now are Luffy, Zoro = Sanji, Franky = Chopper, Brook = Robin and Nami = Usopp.

"You all can hit the Logia Devil fruit users easily right now, but you still have to be careful for the chaos or unexpected situations." I told them. Their techniques are almost the same as in the original after 2 years training time skip.

My modified Haki cultivation technique is more refined than the general Haki cultivation of this world because the art has been analyzed by Byakugan and Rinne-Sharingan then has optimized by Heavenly Dao Classic Heart Law.

The art has 4 stage such as Coating (Minimal Damage), Condense (Maximal Damage), Haki's pattern (Fatal Damage) and Haki's energy shape (Deadly Damage). And among of them only Luffy has learned Haoshoku Haki.
