Hashi Island.

Two months have passed since the training of the crew started, most of them have Reached the strength level of Kashi when he was a bounty hunter. Their skill with the weapons has leaped bounds and most of them are showing signs of awakening haki.

In the two months, Ragnar perfected his skills and haki to be very advanced, even his observation can see a second into the future, the observation range had also increased to about a quarter of the Island.

Kashi Unlocked Armament and can use it freely, his skill with the axe is on another level and his gun man skill rivals that of Kazuma, he can inbue his bullets with armament, making him a deadly sniper, and hand to hand combat wise he is also not bad, his speed is also great, he has now reclaimed his position as the second strongest.

Kazuma has recently hit a bottleneck on his skill, His observation has gotten strong enough that he could hit targets kilometers away with a shot with his gun, he only needs to awaken armament and his strength would be many times greater since Armament enhances both his gun man ship and his spear skill.

Shin Has become a master of the spear and gun combo, both of his haki are very close to being unlocked, his speed is just like a blur to most of the pirates but he couldn't contend with Kashi and Ragnar when it comes to pure speed.

***

Today is the day when Ragnar will leave the island, Why? You may ask. It is to recruit new members to the crew, ones much stronger and faster than the original Nail Jack pirates.

He is thinking of bounty hunting for one or two months along with Kashi, who has a lot of experience as a hunter, after he cashes in the bounty of the captain, he will take the pirates under his wing to become stronger.

He is in the beach area, standing alongside Kashi in a dinghy row boat that Kashi originally used to go bounty hunting in. Of course it has a few upgrades done to it to make it support two guys and a few rations if food.

"We will be back in two months or less. Make sure you keep them controlled Kazuma. Shin will also take care of the pirates and help them train, If you have any difficulty with money, use the one million stored in the ship." Ragnar said to kazuma and shin as he and Kashi left the island in the small dinghy.

"So where is our destination? Captain." Kashi said to Ragnar who took out a small map, it was of the region around Shigeru island, The blues were mapped out but the grand line wasn't properly mapped out.

There were ten islands around Shigeru, Ragnar pointed to one with many mountain like structures.

"This is Senzai Island, An island where pirates often travel to, it doesn't have any marine bases and not many people live here" Ragnar said as Kashi nodded, Ragnar took out the compass and looked at it for a moment.

"If we travel to this island." He pointed at another island directly below the position of Senzai Island.

"Then we can follow the direction the compass is pointed at to easily reach Senzai Island, and who knows, we might encounter a few small timers on our way there." Ragnar said to his subordinate who nodded.

***

After two weeks of traveling non stop, the two of them reached the island of Hashi, the one directly below the Senzai Island.

"We Are here, wake up." Ragnar said to Kashi who yawned before obeying his captain and getting of the dinghy.

They had tied their boat to the backside of the island to prevent Any citizens from finding it.

"Lets go." A few minutes later, they were in a small village with a lot of people. There was a nice farmland and many farmers were deligently working there.

"What a nice place, Captain." Kasai Said to Ragnar who nodded and said, "Indeed it is." They roamed around the island for a bit, before going to an inn to rest for the night.

The Morning was beautiful in this island, the beautiful rice paddy fields and the sun light reflecting off of them to create a breath taking scenery.

"Let's go explore this island." Ragnar Said to Kasai, who was still half asleep. The both of them walked around the island, they both went to a cliff near the island and Ragnar pulled his map out.

"That direction, that is Senzai Island." Ragnar pointed to a range of mountains as high as the clouds.

"Captain, Do you see that?" Kasai asked, To which, Ragnar looked closely. A ship, One much bigger than they had ever seen previously. A flag hung on its top, A jolly Roger painted on it.

A Skull having the distinct shape of an animal with cross bones. 'What could that mean, A skull if an animal. The captain must have a zoan then, I have a feeling that this fight is going to difficult for only two of us.' Ragnar clutched his sword.

"The Jolly Roger, It is of an animal skull." Kasai replied, Ragnar nodded. It seemed that Kasai noticed it too.

"Be careful, the captain could have a devil fruit." Ragnar said, He knew devil fruits existed but Kasai probably didn't, people don't have knowledge of devilfruits in the blues' they are very rare around them.

"Devil fruits, Aren't they a myth?" Kasai asked.

"They are real, trust me. Be prepared, he could have any devilfruit, even one of a mythical animal or Animals that are extinct." Ragnar said to his subordinate, who nodded before they hid behind a rock.

"Create a trap for them here, they seem to be comming towards this direction." Ragnar said. The easiest trap was to collect a few logs and roll them down the cliff when the pirates arrive.

"Cut the trees and collect logs, we will roll them down once they get here." Ragnar said to his subordinate, who obeyed his command and started to cut trees with his axe. Ragnar lifted the logs with no effort and piled them up near the edge of the cliff.

Half an hour later, Many logs were collected and the pirates had almost reached the island.

"I think we should stop, otherwise they will notice us and be wary." Ragnar informed Kasai as they both hid behind a rock.

As the large ship anchored on the shore and pirates started to jump off the boat with weapons in hand, they both nodded at each other as Kasai shot down a peg, The logs started to roll down from the cliff one by one.

"Kasai Shoot them." Ragnar shouted as Kasai started shooting the pirates on the ship one by one, He made sure not to kill them or injure them but only incapatite them.

Ragnar jumped off the cliff, landing on the boat as he saw a large muscular man wearing only a shirt and pants.

"You're the captain?" Ragnar asked the man, He was almost Two meters in height, towering over Ragnar, he had menacing eyes and had a shit eating grin.

"I am the captain sh*t head, any problem with that Mother f*cker." The large man said as he pulls out two knuckles, He put them on before charging straight at Ragnar.
