******

On a small uninhabited island not far from Marine Ford, A medium-sized ship was currently docked and it had a few scared-looking pirates fidgeting while moving on it…

"Captain, do you really think that ghost will come to find us again?" Spoke one of the pirates to the captain…

The captain was a man with short white hair and a sword on his wait, he was quite handsome and usually had a heroic aura surrounding him thanks to his white heat armor, but right now he appeared clearly depressed as he replied

"You tell me, you think that cheap ghost will let us go this easily? Plus, he stole all of our maps and log poses before he threw us to this isolated island that's not far from Marine Form… If we sail in the wrong direction, we'll just end up in impel down where a fate worse than death will certainly await us… He clearly plans to come back"

The crew's face grew pale at the mention of that ghost's intricate planning, he truly planned it well before he left here, and now they could either trust in their fate or in him… but the result of both wasn't clear, although they knew for sure that both were cruel assholes…

However, a voice suddenly sounded from above them with clear surprise "Eh Yurei, I didn't know you were this smart"

The captain and his crew quickly raised their head only to see two creepy green eyes eyeing them like a delicious prey, and behind the owner of those creepy eyes was an even creepier fella… It was the ghost that put them through this difficult situation, and currently, he was speaking with a polite expression on his face

"Thanks for the compliment Boss, I almost started feeling that you aren't smart enough to realize my hard work"

Yuki instantly felt a vein was about to pop on his head after hearing Yurei's sarcastic remark so he directly punched the creepy ghost far into the distance and landed alone on the ship "Tsk, Cheeky brat"

Seeing Yurei getting defeated, some pirates suddenly felt that this was their chance to make a comeback, and they quickly started yelling

"Captain! This guy definitely can't become a ghost like the other one, let's capture him before his friend comes back and use him as a hostage!"

Yuki watched as the pirate quickly carried their weapons and started approaching him threateningly, and their captain nodded calmly and put his hand on his white thin sword and said coldly "Indeed, this is our only chance"

'Eh, these guys don't seem like pirates, but more like trained soldiers… They quickly took up a formation to surround any possible ways for me to escape and there's not a hint of hesitation in their captain's clear blue eyes…'

"What's your name?" Yuki asked calmly to the captain and the latter replied with a similar level of calmness without moving from his sword stance… He wasn't taking Yuki lightly at all after hearing how Yurei called him boss…

"I'm the leader of the knight pirates Leon, surrender yourself peacefully or you will have to face the consequences!"

Hearing this, Yuki couldn't help but smirk and say "A brat like you that can't even use Haki shouldn't be talking this confidently…"

"ATTACK" Leon gave the order without hesitation and the gunmen standing back in the distance instantly fired at Yuki. However, he calmly weaved through the rain of bullets and approached their ranks…

"He actually dodged all of our bullets... CAREFUL!" Yelled the gunmen to the front line...

Some members with heave armors and shields tried to stop him, but Yuki was simply too fast and strong for them thanks to his Haki and current body, and before long, only their captain was still standing and staring at him with a weird look on his face before he asked "Why did you spare them?"

"Come and find out with that sword of yours" Replied Yuki with a smirk, and Leon didn't bother talking with him anymore and simply entered a sword stance before he calmly said "Light cannon"

"Hm?" Yuki had a surprised look on his face as he tilted his head to the side and felt the terrifying air currents bursting beside his face

"It seems like I underestimated you, any pirate with a bounty less than 100.000.000 B would have died at this point"

Leon frowned slightly seeing that his attack missed but he wasn't disappointed as he simply held his sword vertically in front of him before he muttered with a sharp look in his eyes "Light Hunt!"

Again, Yuki watched in surprise as this time, the man's sword appeared to flash in his eyes before they both disappeared and almost instantly appeared above his head as if he was delivering some sort of divine judgment…

*Clang*

However, Leon's sharp face soon turned into despair as he saw his sword getting caught easily by Yuki's barehand and he couldn't retrieve it as the latter said "What a great swordsmanship… you can actually generate light with your sword…"

"Y-You, who are you!" Yelled Leon in surprise but Yurei was still smirking the whole time before he said "Oh, I'm just a passerby looking for a ship to sail on..."

"Y-You" Leon was shocked ,but a man with long dark hair who was his vice-captain tried to stand up through gritted teeth and quickly yelled "Let go of the captain"

'His men are loyal to him huh?' Thought Yuki but suddenly, an arrow came flying at him from inside the cabin of the ship, and he confidently caught its tip with his teeth and bit it to pieces to the shock of the whole crew before he said "Little girl, sneak attacking people isn't a good thing, that's something expected from me, not a beauty like you"

"Let go of Sir Leon" Spoke the girl coldly, she was wearing light armor and had blonde hair and blue eyes… But her face was like that of an angel, and it reminded Yuki of his cute and innocent Sacha which he missed sometimes…

"Sir Leon huh… As I guessed, you people are probably the force of some kind of kingdom, and considering how you've been inside this whole time, they are probably protecting you huh" Yuki spoke with a warm smile, but it gave people chills so they quickly stood in front of the woman.

"Protect her highness Eden at all costs!" Yelled Leon, before he struggled from Yuki's somewhat weakened grip and stood with the rest of his men as well

"Hmm? This is weird" Muttered Yuki while staring at his hand and he suddenly saw it creating afterimages when he moves it around… "Wow, I'm not moving it that fast yet it creates after images, I'm amazin-"

*Splash*

The crowd watched in shock as Yuki fell face first into the floor of the ship…

"What happened? Is he dead?" Asked someone suddenly before the woman Leon called Eden approached Yuki and said "My arrow was laced with a poison that could even put giants to sleep for two or three days, not to mention a single human… This man will be lucky if he survives"

"Quickly tie him just in case, we can't let her highness's efforts go to waste!"

"YESSSS! WE ARE SAVED!" Yelled the crowd and quickly went to tie Yuki while Eden and Leon kept staring at him with weird looks on their faces until the latter spoke "Are you okay, Eden-sama?"

"Ah, I'm fine… It's unfortunate that I had to use our trump card…" replied the woman with a sad look on her face… This was the princess of the Lumina Kingdom, or at least she used to be…

"It doesn't matter, the main point is that we are alive, but please go back inside the ship, there's still another enemy to deal with and he's even tougher than this one, hopefully, we can negotiate with him…" spoke Leon calmly before he signaled to his vice-captain Marcus to escort her.

"Poor guy…" spoke the princess one last time while staring at Yuki but Yurei suddenly came flying from the distance with a calm look on his face while staring at the confident crew that was tying Yuki while Leon held his sword to his neck

"We've got your captain and his life is in our hands now, you better surrender as well and return to us or maps and log poses or else... HE DIES!" Yelled one of the pirates, prompting the princess to pause slightly and stare at Yurei in the air to see his reaction to his captain's conditions.

But instead of fear or despair, Yurei simply burst out laughing "AHAHHAHA, you actually defeated Yuki? Wait wait one second" Then, the ghost bastard quickly took out his phone and started taking pictures of the blacked-out Yuki…

"Tsk, it seems like he's a disgusting captain if his crew is willing to laugh at his fall…" muttered Eden with a dark look on her face, but this suddenly made Yurei freeze and he couldn't help but stare at her with a tilted head giving her chills

"Yuki's fall? HAHAHA, this is the funniest joke I ever heard, go ahead captain Leon, try stabbing your sword through his exposed neck" Yurei had a sick smile while staring at them, and it didn't give them a good feeling since their plan to make Yuki their captive didn't seem successful…

"Don't test our patience young man, we will really kill your captain if you don't surrender" spoke one of the knight pirates. However, Yurei simply shrugged and took his giant gun from him.

Then he approached Leon calmly despite their shouts and put the gun directly to Yuki's head causing everyone to freeze in shock

"What are you doing…" Eden's eyes as well as Leon's contracted to their full limit and they watched as Yurei's hair covered his face allowing only his smile to show as he pulled the trigger on Yuki's head!

*BANG* *BANG* *BANG*

Gunshot after gunshot echoed throughout the ship, but the expected splash of blood didn't come, instead, after Yurei emptied all the rounds on Yuki's head, Yuki's hand suddenly sprung up and caught him by the head

"You bastard, can't you let me sleep for just a bit more?"

"EHHHHH!" x ??? Was the reaction of the knight pirates!

"Sorry boss, I won't do it again…" Said Yurei fearfully while Yuki stood up slowly with a drowsy look on his face before he said "Do you have any more of this magical drug… This feeling of falling asleep soundly is so irresistible"

"W-What kind of monster are you?" Asked Eden in shock but a flyer suddenly traveled through the wind and Leon caught it instinctively

"New warlord... Yuki Chibana… the Enigma... It seems like we run out of luck your highness" Spoke Leon with a dark look... He finally understood who's the monster standing in front of him, and he knew they had no more chance to run away...
