Kashi of the Bloody Axe.

Ragnar looked at the Fifty pirates In front of him, Each of them tied by a rope.

Ragnar could only watch and Sigh at the pitiful pirates struggling to break out of the ropes.

"Oi Bastard Free Me and I will forgive you." A pirate screamed at Ragnar, It was the captain, An egotistical fool who had no real strength but the strength to defeat one or two of his subordinates But now that the captain couldn't force his superiority over them, the fear the pirates had because of their captain was none at this moment. They were all screaming and telling Ragnar to free themselves at the moment.

Ragnar went over to the captain, picking him up in one hand and throwing him into the sea, the captain landed 50 meters away, and started floating like a beach ball. The pirates could only gawk and watch in awe what Ragnar did to. their captain.

"Now that the captain is out of the way, Who wants to join my crew."

*Somewhere Near Shigeru island.*

A young man in his late teens was rowing a small row boat, he had black hair and was wearing black pants and a white shirt, an axe was strapped to his back.

'That damn Nail Jack managed to escape from me. I will catch that damn Pirate tis time and the sweet sweet five million will be mine.' Were the thoughts of the young man. As he continued to row the boat, his pace got faster and he arrived at the docks of the island in half an hour.

"Now, Where has that Rotten Nail anchored his ship?" He said to himself, Deciding to Run around the entire coastline of the island.

After Fifteen minutes of running, he saw the ship, butt it didn't have the sails of the Nail Jack pirates, It had a plain white sail. The sails were unfurled but the ship was anchored.

"That Guy thinks he can escape from me." He said as he ran as fast as he could to the ship. Upon arriving he saw a young man just a few years younger than him.

"Oi, Who are you? This crew is my target." He said to the younger man, Ragnar looked at him with visible confusion.

"I defeated them." Ragnar said, The other man started to get angry and pulled the axe from his back, the axe was the same length as his entire arms and he held it at the end of the handle and pointed at Ragnar.

"I have been chasing these pirates for a week, It doesn't matter if you defeated them, I will simply defeat you." The man said before charging straight at Ragnar.

'This guy is strong, he gives off an aura of a fighter." Ragnar said to himself. As he caught the axe by the edge with his armament coated haki. The Axe welding man was shocked at the feat.

"It's Kashi of the bloody axe." A pirate screamed.

"You're popular among these small times, huh?" Ragnar said, Kashi pulled back his axe, only to find it stuck to Ragnar's hand.

"Who are you? I have never seen such power, Did you eat a devil fruit?" Kashi said to Ragnar, Ragnar simply chuckled, holding the axe firmly.

"This is Haki, It is the power of one's will." Ragnar simply answered, Kashi got angry at the reply and with much strength pulled out the axe.

Kashi pulled the axe back, Swinging or horizontally with all his strength. Ragnar scoffed before quickly pulling out Sigyn and blocking the swing of full force with minimal effort.

Seeing an opening in Kashi's defence, Ragnar kicked him on the ribs, making Kashi go out of breath.

"Who Is this guy, he defeated Kashi of the bloody axe easily." The pirates started to talk to eachother, "He also defeated captain and all of us even without trying, is he someone from the grandline?" Another pirate said to the first one.

Ragnar pointed his sword at Kashi and said.

"You Kashi of the bloddy axe proved your strength to me. For that reason, you can join my crew." Ragnar said to Kashi who spit blood.

"What makes you think I will join you?" Kashi said to Ragnar, who smirked and answered.

"Strength, I will give you strength, The ability to use haki." Ragnar said to Kashi who chuckled looking down, He looked up shaking as he said.

"Haha, If I can obtain strength like yours, I will join." Kashi started getting up but the hit to the ribs was more painful when he got up.

"It's a deal." Ragnar and Kashi shook hands to conform their deal.
