"Where am I?.... Why am I here?.... Who am I?.... Why do I feel like my entire body is on fire, even though I'm completely fine?... Hmmmm- " A naked, translucent and young man with chestnut-coloured hair and brown eyes said as he looked around like a madman. He was trying to collect as much information as possible, but he was currently in a vast white space, except for one large area which was clad in darkness.

"Father!... Mother!... Everyone!.... Why!.. Why!... Why!... Why!... Why!... Why!... Why!.. whywhywhywhywhywhywhywhywhywhywhy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why us!... Why did this has to happen?.." The voice of a crying child, more specifically a young boy, be heard coming from the area that was clad in darkness. The young man walked toward that area very cautiously while stopping every three seconds to observe his surrounding.

After a few seconds, he reached the area and saw the silhouette of that was around his height. The silhouette was around 180 cm, but the voice that came out of the darkness was that of a child. The young man approached the silhouette very cautiously and try to talk to that individual.

"What is the matter, kid?... Why are you crying?.."

The individual ignored him and kept on talking to himself while keeping on crying.

"I know why? It's because we are too weak.... Because we are afraid... Because of those pirates.... I will make all of them pay no matter who they are.... I will be the strongest.... I will slaughter all of them."

The young man was trying to place his hand on the individual's left shoulder, but before his right hand could the individual. The latter suddenly turned around with his mouth wide open and pounced at him, it was so fast that he could not react in time. The young man was now on the ground with the individual's teeth firmly planted in the young man's neck.

The traits of the individual was visible at that time. He was a tall man with brown complexion, silvery hair and two large black wings on his back. His face was boyish and his eyes are blue in colour. He bite off a piece of the translucent neck's skin of the young man, but surprisingly no blood flowed from the large wound. Also the young man was immobile on the white floor and his eyes were lifeless.

"I will slaughter all of those damn pirates and wipe them from the face of the world!!!!"

At the same time, inside of a wooden room that was engulfed in fire with dozens of corpses burning like woods in a stone oven.

"I will slaughter all of those damn pirates and wipe them from the face of the world!!!!"

A gust of wind suddenly blew out of nowhere inside of the room with a corpse of around 180 cm at its epicenter, and it fanned all the flames that were burning those corpses. The eyes of the corpse that was burnt to the third degree and with molten clothing mixed with the burnt skin, suddenly opened its blue eyes.

Outside of the room, on the deck of the merchant ship.

[Bammm.... Bammmm.... Bammmm.... Baammmm.... Bammm..]

Twelve men armed with sabers and pistols fell on the ground with foams coming out of their mouths and their eyes as white as eyes of dead fishes.

"What the hell is happening to our guys, Captain?... They suddenly lost consciousness and fell with foams in their mouths..."

A man with an eyepatch and a red bandana shouted to another man with braided beard and wearing a tricorne. They were the first-mate and the captain of this bunch of pirates.

" That's Haoshoku Haki (Conqueror Haki)!... Abandoned the ship, everyone!!! This Haoshoku Haki can only be coming from that marine warship!..."

The first-mate stared at the captain for a few seconds before he turned to the ten men, beside him and the captain, that still managed to retain their consciousness.

"Alright, guys!!... You heard the captain, run for your lives!"

"Prepare to board the ship! Don't let any of those pirates escape!!"

A middle-aged man that wore a standard Marine cap, and a crimson, double-breasted suit with a pink rose in his left buttonhole, shouted from the top of his lungs. He was also an incredibly tall, light-skinned, unusually muscular man, with a square-shaped face, very pronounced facial features, and short black hair.

"Yes! Admiral Akainu!!!"

Around forty marines that were on the deck of the warship and less than a nautical mile away from the burning ship and the pirate ship shouted in unison from the top their lungs. Then, the cannoneers started to fire their cannons at the pirate ships while the other marines ready their weapons.

At that same instant, the severely burnt man came out of the cabinet before falling only a few meters later near the pirates that were abandoned by their crewmates. On the back of the burnt man, two unusual burnt wounds were making both of his scapula and two unusual bones for a normal human beings visible.

One and a half year later, inside of a large infirmary.

A tall broad man with a distinctive hair style and who was chewing a fish bone, could be seen auscultating a tall man that wore a helmet that completely covered his head, with a stethescope. The body of the tall man could be seen completely wrapped in bandages, except only the regions where he wore his black shoes, black gloves and blue marine trousers.

"Everything seems to be alright, boy... But still when Akainu brought you here more than a year ago, I never thought that you would live to see another day... Your entire body was burnt to the point that your muscles were visible, and I even had to remove your eyelids.

It's miracle that you didn't became blind and that your genitals were spared... Still you had the willpower to survive and now, you will embark as chore boy on the warship of Strawberry... Don't you want to rest some more here at Marineford? I can write a letter of excuse for you and no one will complain about it.... What do you say, kid? "

"No... That's alright, Dr. Fishbonen... Thanks... I'm fine... Plus, I didn't sleep once ever since I woke up a few days after Admiral Akainu brought me here at the headquarter.. I don't know how to rest anymore, I can close my eyes anymore... But at least thanks to this helmet that Admiral Akainu gave me, I'm at least able to protect my eyes from excessive exposure to light.

I will repair Admiral Akainu for believing in me and saving me... Also, I will never become stronger by living behind the protective walls of Marineford... I will become the strongest Marine Officer and someone that Admiral Akainu can be proud of... I, Yubitsume. will also wipe all those damn pirates from the face of the world and make sure that justice prevails in this chaotic world."
