9 Three Years Later.

Three more years passed since Haken had joined his crew, as the first crew member.Haken had grown to be slightly weaker than Kuro.Now he was more serious but held a slight grudge against Kuro who almost killed him tens of times.Kuro now decided to teach him Haki, which was obviously required if he wanted to be his right hand.

"Haken-kun can you please come here for a second?"He said seriously,Haken who was training raised an eyebrow as he had never seen his captain serious but decided to come anyway."What, captain?"He said.

"Have you heard about haki?"Kuro asked,"No,why?What is that?"Haken raised an eyebrow yet again."Haki...Some call it will and some call it the power to rule the world…

But I think that Haki is something that we can get the more we want to.There are three forms of haki: Observation,Colour Of Armamament and the Haki which only one it a hundred million can have,Conqueror Of Emperor or something like that…

The current Conqueror's Emperor Haki is different from the original.Before it could only make people unconscious but now it can only kill.But my Conqueror can knock people."

Haken was silent but a moment later me managed to say some words,"So you want to teach me that Haki?"Kuro grinned,"It seems you understood me...It is time then…"

A week later,the training started.The training for the observation haki was more different than the old one.You had to sit in the middle of a waterfall and concentrate to feel white particles in the air which were a thousand times smaller than a single hair.

He took two months just to see them and five months to control them.Observation Haki was the simplest to learn but many take a year to just see it.Meanwhile,the Colour of Armament Haki is a hundred times harder to learn.

The training was simple.He had to hit rocks and trees with just his raw strength.When he gets used to it,he had to sit in the peak of a mountain and concentrate.After a month of resting which was also part of the training he had to start hitting mountains yet again.

But this time Haken felt a change . Kuro explained,"After learning Observation Haki and your attacks which made you get used to your body even more,the white particles decided to enter your arms actually with their own will which is a surprise because few can manage that."

And thus training progressed.The last one was the haki which only choosen one's can use,Conqueror's Emperor Haki. Actually,there was no training for it.You had to do it with your own consciousness.And Haken was chosen and did it!

He took around two years to learn the basics,as much as the Pirate King,Monkey D.Luffy did .But well,he was a bit slower in days and power.But Kuro was even faster.He was a real genius even though the current him was only the result of his early training.

*BOOM*BOOM*

Two instant explosion rang out . Kuro and Haken heard that and quickly went there to see what happened.What they saw stunned them.There were two girls in casual clothes attacking a girl their age.

"Come here you brat!Do you think you can survive after stealing from us,The Twin Pirate sisters with a bounty of ten million?!"Ten million in the Four Seas in around the peak of the medium tier bounties.But compared to Kuro or Haken they lack quite a bit.

"Eat this!Twin Pistol Forty Bullets!"With two pistols in each hand,the two sisters shot bullets after bullets towards the girl who barely dodged all of them."ehh?How can she dodge forty bullets?!" The two girls didn't know that Kuro was using observation haki to make the mind of the girl more clear."Haken-kun."He muttered but Haken was already running towards the two girls.He took a huge breath and unsheathed his sword.

"Wind Twin Slash!"He swung the sword just once,but the wind cut it in two which headed towards The twin Sister Pirates.The two attacks which were one in the beginning killed the two Sister Twin Pirates almost instantly.

The dead bodies of the two girls fell on the ground revealing the face of the girl their age.Her hair were red and medium sized,reaching a bit lower than her shoulder.Her eyes were orange and a bit bigger than normal.In her hands,she held a map,probably a treasure map.

"What is your name?" Haken asked kindly,"My name?"She asked confused,"Yes name?"He replied and she replied,"My name is Yuki…"Haken smiled,"So you are Yuki-san eh?Can I call you Yuki."She nodded.

Then Kuro came out,"My name is Haken and the guy over there is Kuro,my captain."Haken smiled softly,revealing his handsome face . Yuki slightly blushed.'Love in first sigh eh…' Kuro grinned,'I found a new toy…'

For no reason whatsoever,Haken shivered and so did Yuki.Haken lowered his hand fto Yuki to help her rise.She grabbed his hand and she rose to her feet soon.:Then,Yuki-san from your looks I can guess you are a navigator?" Kuro said putting a hand in his jaw."How did you know?" Yuki asked.

"Your clothes contain black ink,you have a treasure map which is 90% the same as your handwriting from the paper in your left pocket which has a style which only navigators use.You also have the eyes of a Navigator and your eyes contain a dream."Kuro gave a detailed explanation to her and Haken\ who nodded in agreement.

"Then,Yuki-chan...Can you please join my pirate crew as the navigator?"He asked kindly.Yuki had already seen that they were pirates from the way they knew about the sea and were strong.Besides,they appearance could only be of a pirate's.But she needed that power,"Yes with one condition."

"I can accept any condition,just tell me." Kuro said calmly."Please kill the Pirate,"DemonEv"."Yuki said with a begging face . DemonEv,a pirate with a bounty of twenty million beri. But compared to Kuro he was an easy target."I accept.I guess he is currently in this island?"Kuro said.

"Yes,he is in this island.Since I was eight he ruled the northern part of the island where I live.The Marines ignore him and the Avengers can't do anything because of his army of two thousand outlaws including bandits,pirates highwaymen and even well,known thief's.

DemonEv himself can only defeat a High Soldier rank Marine, however his outlaw army is fearsome, as no man alone can defeat thousands of people, unless he's a very powerful marine.

"New Ranks?" Kuro was confused,"Yes, the Marines changed their ranks quite recently.

The ranks are :

Avenger,Soldiers,High Soldiers,Crowned Soldiers,Captains,Core Captains,Commander,General,Core General,Sea General,Vice Admiral,Admiral,Fleet Admiral and the leader of all marines, Admiral King

"The previous Sea General who guarded the Southern Sea now is just a Commander but the strongest Commander at that."Kuro and Haken were confused,"Why did they suddenly change the ranks?"Yuki answered,"Because of the Four Divine Beasts or to be exact the now called Five Divine Beasts." Five?It seems a new Divine Beast had joined their ranks.
