23 A trip to an Island.

There was a small island in the middle of the sea. It was known as Coania, it was populated by simple people, they farmed, they hunted animals... Did what they could to survive in this harsh world.

The most popular place in this town was the Restaurant, known as 'Sea Of Infinity.' They were extremely popular among the four seas, and many traveled thousands of kilometers just to taste their cooking.

The best cook in there was an old man, a foot into his grave. He had white gray hair and lots of lines in his face, showing his age. He supported his body with a stick. His name was Gardan.

His cooking was said to be one of the best even among the Grandline.

A few kilometers away from the island, was the ship of the Shiro Kuro Pirates, in it were the bored crew, Kuro was the only one who was actually excited about this.

"This will be the place our cook will join the crew!" Kuro grinned.None of the crew was able to hear him as they were busy.Haken was training,Yuki navigating and Ketsu working.Only him was standing and doing nothing,after all he was the captain,is what he said to escape work.

They also needed a cook desperately, since none of them could cook half decent stuff, only the most basic cooking, how else would Ketsu have survived there for so many years otherwise?

"Faster!" Kuro grinned as he raised his lightning's speed,making Yuki hit the desk and almost destroy the map.She angrily went to the main deck and hit Kuro on the head ten times before returning back.

Ketsu hit a nail wrong and did the same as Yuki.Haken slightly hit his head with his training stuff and also did the same.Kuro started to cry…"Why me?"He sighed.He scratched his head and then sat cross-legged.This was another way to sense haki.He looked at his area of observation haki and saw at least five thousand people.Half were at the island and a quarter on ships.

He could feel that there were dozens of ships heading towards the island, and he could feel the aura of an pirate, one more powerful than Gorudo. With his current powers he could still defeat him, but it would be a crazy battle.

If one was to talk about power in his crew, among his crew mates Haken was the second strongest, then came Yuki tied with Ketsu, who had yet to reveal most of his powers, so they were currently tied together.

Marine Headquarter of the First Grand Line Half,Marine Island.Three figures were discussing.The first one had long black hair and red eyes.He was around thirty years old.He had a lot of muscles.

The other person had short brown hair and glasses covering his eyes.His eyes were orange.He was also around the same age.He was 1,80m the same as the other person.

The last person was a man around forty to fifty years old.He had black hair and green eyes.He was muscular and unleashed an extremely powerful aura.

All of them had five silver lines in their shoulders.They were all Admirals!Then one person entered,he was familiar.Shiroyami,the admiral who retreated nine years ago!But now he was a fleet admiral.There were six admirals and two fleet admirals.

Shiroyami was one of the two fleet admirals and the most powerful fleet admiral.Only the Admiral King and the Five Divine Beasts could defeat him.But he was a level lower in strength compared to them.

"Do you really want to do that, Fleet Admiral?"One of the admirals said,"Yes,there is no other way."Shiroyami replied.

"We finally arrived at this cursed island!"

Kuro grinned.He made the first step " I already smell meat…" Kuro smelled with his nose."You are right…"Haken and Ketsu did the same but the next moment they were hit in the head,it was Yuki who was breathing heavily.

"Stop you idiots!" She said."You look weird!"She continued."By the way,isn't this to quiet?"Kuro said scratching his head."You are right!" Yuki exclaimed.This island was a top star at the four seas, and to see it so empty was practically impossible, and it was extremely unusual.

Suddenly a huge shout rang out.POOF!POOF!Bullets after bullets flew towards them.Kuro sensed them and instantly blocked them using lightning,but two escape and Haken cut them in two."AGAIN!"The voice didn't seem weaker at all as it shouted.Another wave of bullets came,yet this time it was ten times more.

"Haken,Ketsu!" Kuro shouted as his two companions nodded.Getting ready they cut the bullets in two,yet ten still were flying.Kuro did some hand signals."Lightning Wolves!" Kuro exclaimed as ten wolves of lightning appeared crushing the bullets and destroying a few trees,revealing the enemies.

"Pirates…?"Kuro said,he never though that the pirates he saw a few hours ago would already be here."Lightning Pistol!" Kuro flicked his fingers and bullets of lightning were created and flew towards the pirates,instantly killing or wounding most of them.

"Who are you guys?"He asked the only not injured person."Not telling!" Kuro smiled," Are you sure about that..." He said as he slammed his fist next to him, creating a small crates.

"I'll TELL EVERYTHING!"

It seems the Lava Pirates had decided to invade this island. The Lava Pirates were made of at least a thousand pirates, and their leader had a 65 million beri bounty on his head, making him more fearsome than Gorudo.

A few kilometers away from the town the Shiro Kuro pirates were in right now, stood a large camp. on the middle of it was a flag, a flag signifying that it was of pirates.

Xanzus was the leader of the Lava Pirates, who had eaten the Lava Lava Devil Fruit, giving him the ability to use Lava, he was a lackey of someone else, the same person as Gorudo from the Four Seas, but Xanzus was from the Grandline, so seeing him here was very weird.
