Chapter 26 Framed

{Flashback 22 years ago}

New World.

BOOM!!

"Damn bastard!! I'm going to kill you one day!

A ship sailed on the endless sea, and on the deck with a lot of pirates, a fight seemed to be going on, a young man with two horns on his head and a mace in his hands falling on the ground, blood oozing down from his head cursing in anger, unwilling eyes stuck at the figure who looked down on him.

"Haha Boris!! How low have you fallen even for a pirate, Beating a newbie who hasn't even completely mastered haki, you are truly a disgrace to Rocks Pirates!"

Laughter erupted on the deck, everyone around watching the fight booing at the burly bald man in his mid-twenties, who had an axe on his shoulders.

"Don't try to pick a fight with me again, you won't get away so easily next time!"

"Bastard!!"

Boris ignored the words of his crew, as warning the young man in a cold voice, he strode away, leaving Kaido on the floor of the ship sulking.

"Kaido is really improving fast, he's been here for just a year and is almost catching up with Boris"

At one corner of the ship, one man and woman also seemed to have watched the fight, the woman with pink hair and a stunning figure, commenting with an acknowledging look in her eyes.

"Well~ he is not a disappointment like Boris after all"

Responded the man with blonde hair and two swords on his waist, disappointment evident on his face.

8 years ago, Rocks took Boris as a trainee in the ship expecting his hatred for the Celestial Dragon to make him stronger, but the potential of Boris really disappointed everyone in the ship who had high hopes for him.

He did grow stronger but the result was not even quarter compared to the effort Rocks put into train him, his potential not up to the mark.

"Maybe he'll be kicked out soon!"

Said Linlin giving Boris who sat at the corner a disdainful look, she also had high expectations for him and had thought of bearing his child but he turned out to be a loser, not worth her time.

{Flashback 20 Years Ago}

God Valley.

BOOM!!!

"Damn you Roger! Why help these brainwashed Marines!!?"

"Curse you Garp!! Just Die!!"

"Escape, Escape Quickly!!"

On the Island explosions resounded, numerous Marine ships at the dock, a scene of hell everywhere, pirates running and jumping into the sea with scared faces, among them Boris as well, escaping the Island which soon didn't exist on the map anymore.

{Flashback 10 Years Ago}

Grandline.

On an Island,

Blood drenched ground, dead bodies lying around everywhere and black smoke wafting out of the burning houses, the Island completely destroyed.

Thup! Thup!

Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps, around 20 people appeared at the center of the town, leading them a burly bald man in his thirties, a golden axe on his shoulders.

"These people didn't pay tribute as well and like always, the Island was destroyed on the orders of Celestial Dragon, Captain Boris!"

All twenty people had anger on the face seeing the destruction around, one of them coming forward and giving the burly man in front a report about what occurred.

"Prepare for the Burial!"

Said Boris after suppressing the anger on his face, helplessness deep in his eyes.

"But Captain Boris…if we do this you'll be blamed again for destroying this Island!"

"It doesn't matter anymore…they have been doing it for years so I'm used to it, anyway bury them quickly and look for any possible survivor!"

Said Boris to the concern of his crew member and gave his orders again calmly, he was used to being framed long ago, one more Island on him didn't matter.

"Yes Captain!"

The crew was on to the work immediately, half picking the bodies and half looking for survivors with complete focus, they all were survivors of Celestial Dragon's tyranny as well, it was Boris who saved them and that's how the Funeral Pirates were created.

{Flashback 2.5 Years Ago}

New World.

"May Your Soul Rest in Peace!"

Before numerous dug graves on a destroyed Island was Boris and his crew now consisting of around 50 people, all quiet before the graves sad expression on the faces.

WHOOM!!!

"Huh!?"

But at this moment, a sharp sonic boom was heard by everyone, Boris in front looking up at the sky, his pupils widening upon seeing a fuzzy figure falling from the sky.

BOOM!!!

The figure from the sky banged on the ground a huge pit created, dust everywhere, the ground shaking like an earthquake of magnitude 10 had hit, Boris and others barely keeping balance on the ground.

"Damn!! Still Alive!"

An annoyed voice sounded from the dust that covered the pit, and a giant figure walked out, appearing in the vision of Boris and other crew members, with two horns on the head and a long mustache.

Kaido, Captain of the Beast Pirates!
