13 Chapter 13 - Weird dream and new friend.

(A/N: Hello my dear readers! Today I've come with good news! My father is getting better by the minute thanks to the amazing doctors that are attending to him, they are real superheroes. I'd like to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all the nice comments that you've all posted, they really do mean a lot to me. Since I can't stay in the hospital anymore, I've returned home and will have to stay here for a bit while I check up on my dad through the doctors. There will probably only be one chapter a day for a few days because even though my dad is getting better, he's far from 100%, hope you all understand! Also, thank you for all the Power Stones, you all really are the best! ANYWAYS, enjoy the chapter!! God bless you all!!!)

< Cain's POV >

After a few seconds of thinking, I let myself drift off into sleepland. One thing that bothered me was that I had this weird fucking dream... In this dream, I felt angry. Angrier than ever. I felt my very soul being overcome with this anger and jealousy, I had reached my limit. I didn't have any control over my body, it was as if this was... a memory.

I was in this beautiful field of some sorts, and in a distance I could see a handsome man walking up to me. This man had a short, messy brown hair with a big untidy nut-brown beard. He seemed to stand at a solid 6'8'' of height and was wearing some very primitive clothes.

After reaching me, he said to me with a loving and kind expression clear on his face, "Hello brother. What are you doing here?"

I then said with an angry look, "I am angry brother. Angry at you, angry at Him, angry at everything. Why was your offering better than mine? I just do not understand..."

My brother looked at me with a sad expresison and said with a soft tone. "He works in mysterious ways brother, our simple minds cannot comprehend His actions."

But those words made me snap for some reason and I just jumped at him with a murderous air around me, he then said with worry, "What are you doing brother? Stop this instant! This is not you, this is your anger! Control it! If you do not stop, I will tell father about this!"

But those words made the anger within me become too much. I lifted a big rock that was on my side and said this to him, "We two are in the world, what will you go and tell our father?"

As I finished my sentence, I started bashing his head with the rock, and in just a few seconds, his body went limp. I had acted upon my anger and killed what seemed to be my brother.

After this, I got up with tears flowing through my face and said this to his now dead body, "I am sorry Abel."

(A/N: Of course, this isn't how it happened. This was just the way that I wrote it.)

Back to the One Piece world, Black Pearl ship...

< 3rd POV >

Cain wakes up in a jolt, as if he just had one of those nightmares where you're falling... they suck. After getting his bearings, he instantly asked Rhea what the hell was that and she responded with this.

{In time you will find out Cain. You must discover the true origins of your soul.} Rhea said with an almost cryptic tone.

"Why are you being so mysterious Rhea? What the fuck was that dream I had? It didn't seem like a dream, it seemed like a long lost memory of some sort... Why did I kill my brother like that? Actually, why did I kill my brother in the first place? Who was that anyway? So many questions but no answers."

{There are things that can only be discovered when the time comes. In this case, you cannot skip steps, even with all the power you have. You must uncover the truth by yourself, even I can't help you. I'm sorry.}

"It's fine. It seems that there is a bigger mystery for me to lay bare... Well, I guess I'll get the answers I want when the time comes. Enough about that, I need to focus on the present. Look's like I slept for about 7 hours and 11 minutes, so in 2 hours and 28 minutes I will be arriving at Mihawk's location to cut the life out of the Krieg Pirates! Oh and Rhea, will 'Perfect Mind' activate when I kill someone?" Cain voiced his doubt to Rhea and she soon answered in his mind.

{Yes. It will make it so that killing is as normal as breathing for you.}

Cain, as if expecting this type of answer, said to Rhea. "Okay, remove that please! I don't want to become an emotionless killing machine that kills anyone that does something that I don't agree with. I want to feel the full weight of my actions and live with them, that way I can grow as a person and not turn into an Evil God of sorts..."

{Feature removed from 'Perfect Mind'.}

"Thanks! Now let me train a bit with my sword so that I can have a fun duel with Mihawk." Even though Cain had complete mastery over all sorts of weapons, he lacked experience and the battle instincts. As it happens, even with all the skill in the world, he would lose to someone like Mihawk who had years upon years of experience with a sword and instincts that had evolved to a superhuman level.

He then spawned Nandaka to his hand and created a simple mannequin a few feet in front of him. This mannequin looked like a normal store mannequin but the difference was that it was holding a perfect copy of Mihawk's sword, Yoru. This sword was one of the 12 supreme grade swords, that are said to be the 12 highest quality blades in the entire world; being able to cut through even the hardest metals without a scratch being displayed on the sword. (IMAGE HERE)

After creating this mannequin, he gave it extensive combat knowledge and a soul to make him think for himself in battle and create strategies against Cain. He then commanded him to keep coming at him with everything that he had to try and kill him, he'd be fine even if that sword cut him in half since he is completely immortal. Cain made it so that this mannequin would quickly adapt to Cain's sword strikes and would basically force him to develop new techniques and attacks to not get cut.

This was the perfect training for someone that only had the skill but didn't have the instincts or the experience in battle and was immortal.

At the beginning, Cain was being cut hundreds of times every second from how fast and precise the mannequin was. He had his arm cut off, was decapitated, became only a torso with no legs and no little soldier, had his legs and knees cut off; every type of sword injury you can think of, he suffered it every minute. But after a long 2 hours, he started being able to predict the unpredictable and dodge the mannequin's attacks and was able to fight back to an extent. He wasn't using any type of ability or power, just his sword skill and physical prowess to try and overwhelm his mannequin opponent.

Every second, Cain was calculating what approach his opponent would take and started thinking of countermeasures for them. Even though he was immortal, he still felt pain and that was intended. He needed to feel this pain so that he could get better, so he could evolve. If he didn't feel anything when he was cut then how would he know he is in danger?

After this arduous but very fruiful training session, he created a table with 2 chairs opposite to each other and offered the mannequin something to eat and drink. Even though the mannequin was only supposed to exist for his training, he felt bad with having basically what could be considered a training slave, so he decided to treat him as he would treat anyone else, with respect.

The mannequin was of course surprised but also glad, and decided to sit down and asked Cain for a very large cheese pizza with an extra large diet coke. 'Looks like he took some of my food taste with him...' Cain thought and created 2 gigantic cheese pizzas and 2 huge diet cokes, one for each.

Following their 'little' lunch, Cain gave the mannequin a name, that name was Dave Hall. The mannequin now named Dave was filled with joy for having such a wonderful master and pledged to serve him for all his life, but Cain just brushed it aside and said that they were friends from now on, not servant and master. And that's how Cain made his first friend in this world, even though Dave was Cain's creation, he still had a soul and was a living, breathing existence.

Cain then proceeded to create a nice little home for Dave in a different dimension that could only be entered by Cain and Dave, or whoever they gave permission. Inside that dimension was a big mansion, it was the exact same as the one that he had created back in Naruto's world, looks like Cain lacks creativity... Dave took a while to accept it but in the end, he gave in and received his new house with tears of happiness in his eyes.

The only thing Cain asked of Dave was for him to train him everyday until he could manage himself well against at least 100x Mihawks at the same time. Of course Dave readily accepted this request with highest honor. Our MC then went ahead and changed Dave's appearence because let's be honest, having a walking and talking mannequin around was just creepy...

He gave Dave Chris Hemsworth's appearance and stature for good measure. Dave was a master swordsman with all the knowledge that Cain implemented into his mind and could wield anything that had a blade with the highest level of skill and ability. A sword fight between Mihawk and Dave would be one of the greatest anime fights ever. It would for sure be in every fans list...

Before, there were still 2 hours and 28 minutes left for Cain's first real battle, but now the time had gone down to only 8 minutes. (20 minutes of eating and chatting with Dave)

Cain was deeply excited for this, he really wanted to see where he stands in a fight against Mihawk and of course, he wanted to recuit him to the newly formed Black Dragon Pirates!

.

After what felt like an eternity, Cain finally arrived at the destined place. He then deactivate his time dialation powers and the universe returned to it's normal pace. About 4 miles ahead, Cain could see something that resembled a coffin floating above the water. This coffin had 2 candles on its sides that burned a beautiful bright green fire. On the center of the coffin there was a big mast that looked like a large crucifix, similar to Mihawk's sword, with black sails and a seat for the one and only, Mihawk himself. (IMAGE HERE)

"I remember that his boat was weird but damn, that's just badass... Seems like he is approaching the Krieg Pirates now..." Cain said to himself while now looking to his left and seeing a big fleet consisting of 50 pirates ships with about 5 thousand pirates on top of them. They were about 2 miles away from him and 4 and half from Mihawk.

Mihawk had probably already sensed Cain and was watching his every move, so Cain decided that now was not the time for a cold calculated speech, now was the time for action. (Evil Morty vibes...)

Cain then jumped high in the air, around 100 meters up and slashed his sword in the air, aiming at Don Krieg's fleet and a huge red, almost translucent, sword strike traveled fast through the air targeting the fleet ahead of him.

After just a few seconds, this red energy reached the Krieg Pirates and started cutting everything in its way in half. Hundreds of unfortunate pirates had already gone to meet their maker... or not, maybe they went to meet the other guy, who knows?

Don Krieg and Mihawk were equally stunned by this event. Don Krieg started to look for the responsible and his eyes landed on a massive black ship with half a dragon's body on its front that was approaching his location. This ship carried a Jolly Roger that had 2 dragon heads on top of 2 wings with a skull and crossbones on the middle.

On top of the dragon, there was a single man with a sword on his right hand. This was none other than Cain!

While this little incident was happening, Mihawk was looking at Cain's location with a curious gaze, 'Maybe this man can give me a good battle...' was what was going on inside his mind...
