19 Golden Universe?

Kuro was observing the the battle of his crew mates, while also fighting pirates on another side. While he might be an idiot sometimes, innocent another time, he was not foolish. He could've stopped Yoku and Ishi, but that would've just stopped his crew mates from maturing.

They were far too innocent for this world.

"Then what will you do my navigator and swordsman…"He muttered with a tone of curiosity in his voice.Then suddenly from behind a pirate swung his sword thinking that he could kill him,but unexpectedly Kuro easily dodged it and hit him with his elbow,making him fly several meters away.

"I still have my battle to fight it seems." He muttered as he threw his fist forward, unleashing a ray of darkness.

"Dark Fist!"

***

Yuki was in despair, her crush was just eaten just like that. While they might've had little interaction besides training, she loved him. To see him get eaten like that just made her feel hateful.

"You'll pay..." She shouted as her staff started to change forms, becoming shorter, but now it was covered in a black color, and had a hole in the middle. The tip ended with a round surface (Imagine a circle).

"Gear Three!" She shouted.

"You know?My Staff uses techniques of only weather.But that is only true to Gear Two.

Gear One is the first gear where every technique is basic.Gear two is the second gear where every technique is risen a level. different from gear one or gear two, gear three is the stage where I can control elements to a degree. It's far more dangerous...

Then she took a huge breath and softly made the staff touch the ground."Earth."A moment nothing happened,but two seconds later the whole ground trembled and cracked.Then in exploded like a volcano.Ishi was caught on it and screamed in pain."That is just the beginning."Yuki growled.The rage and fury for what Ishi and Yoku did to Haken made her unlock new memories and skills.

"Wind...Tornado…"She muttered slowly and thrust the staff forward.The wind gusted before finally a huge tornado was formed.Ishi opened his eyes wide open." Injury Level-8!" He roared and a black energy shot towards the Tornado,attacking it.Unfortunately it only stopped half ot it's actual attack power.

Ishi was absorbed into the tornado of wind.But he was still alive.After the Tornado Of Wind disappeared Ishi was breathing heavily,"Yoku,take care of her for me…"He said breathing heavily

"Her abilities are too dangerous for me. if the fight continues, I'll die!" Ishi said,Yoku stepped forward and licked his lips. " Fine, but don't forget to tell capt I did all the hard work!" He said with a loud laugh.

However the laugh was short, as suddenly he vomited something out. Liquid came out and... Haken?

"Damn….His stomach is infinite...Can he even die from fatness?"He gritted his teeth and said annoyed."It took my special technique to break apart this stomach."Yoku was still alive,"Impossible!That stomach is infinite, there is no limits to it! How did you do it?"

Despite his body looking extremely good, Yoku was in a lot of pain, it took a lot out of him to even stay conscious.

"I don't have the time to explain it to you,trash."Haken said and cut his head.Ishi was left alone heavily injured gritting his teeth."Captain,do we qualify?"He said looking at Kuro, who smiled at seeing he had noticed his presence here.

"Yeah, y'all pass. You made me proud." Kuro grinned.

Haken had realised that this was a test since Kuro hadn't interfered when he was eaten by Yoku.Yuki was breathing heavily,but she too had realized that this was a test since Kuro hadn't moved a single step from where he was in the beginning, well besides dealing with other pirates and marines.

"You graduated from having to rely on me,to being able to fight your enemies yourself."Kuro grinned happily."Wait...What about Ketsu?" Haken asked,"He already graduated before he even joined my crew."Kuro sighed.It was true,Ketsu had survived for years alone in that island.God knows how he did that, he didn't even want to find out.

"Then we should continue...Gorudo is waiting for us in that damn mansion."Kuro said but it was not needed,because Gorudo himself was a few meters before them."You killed them...Killed my Crew mates…"He growled as he waved his hand," I'll show you my world, my domain! Gold Universe!"

Suddenly their vision was enveloped in yellow.

***

Inside the Gold Universe,It was shiny and it was like a sun existed in here."This is my world...You can't escape from it."Gorudo yelled madly from god knows where.Then a huge army of golden armour people appeared before Kuro."He separated us?He thinks that is enough to kill me?"

"This is my Golden Army, no one can defeat it! It's an ultimate army made purely out of Gold, not the type of gold you can easily destroy..."

Sighing Kuro raised a hand.And a sphere of Lightnings condensed."Lightning Arc…"Kuro exclaimed as the sphere of Lightnings unleashed lightnings bolts everywhere,killing a lot of golden soldiers.After twenty minutes over half had died,but yet from the dead the golden power created even more.

"Tch,Lightning Army Of Swords!" He muttered and the sphere of lightnings turned to a army of lightning swords which attacked the golden power which was in the form of a sphere with a space of one meter.Yet the Golden Sphere still survived.Kuro sighed,"Conqueror's Haki…"He muttered as an invisible energy spread cracking the Golden Sphere.

The Army Of Golden Soldiers disappeared as Kuro walked forward,Gorudo didn't say a single word for tens of minutes,but he walked and walked randomly.But then he,Gorudo muttered loudly,"This is just the first stage!There are two more stages!"

Two more stages?Kuro sighed in pain.The first stage was a bother,the second should be a pain and the third...REALLY TROUBLESOME."Anyway I need to find my crewmates soon...IT is better to be together than alone,especially in such a dangerous,golden world…"

He continued walking aimless.It continued for god knows how many hours.Maybe even a day had passed,yet Kuro had still a lot of stamina,but his eyes were slightly gray or black to be exact.IT was to be expected,after all humans couldn't walk so much without resting even a single second. Despite having trained for so long, even he felt annoyed at this.

" I no longer can endure!" Kuro growled as he unleashed his full wild intent,slightly shaking the golden world.He was just sixteen and even if he was really powerful,he still hadn't experienced enough to be called a real adult in the real world.

"Second Stage is starting…"Gorudo grinned,and it sounded really evil at that too."Second stage...How is it?"

"I'll make you feel despair... YOU LITTLE BRAT!"
