Chapter 107
Title: Pirate King?
…
After the first day, the Strawhats were camping in the forest as they celebrated all through the night. They are going through the ancient city of gold and have been told to not touch anything.
As they woke up, Usopp and Luffy were playing around with some dial.
"Smell Dial: Fart Attack." Says Usopp as he throws a dial at Luffy like it's a grenade.
..
Sanji on the other hand is cooking some wolf stew. He looks at Robin with hearts in his eyes. "Mellorie~"
The cigarette in his mouth creates smoke in the form of hearts.
..
Nami is covering herself while in the forest. She remembers that the last time she wasn't careful against bugs and such on Little Garden, she almost died.
..
Chopper gathers some of the old fauna around this pace, he wants to study it later.
Naruto on the other hand is absentmindedly looking at Dead Cat.
That is when something strange happens and they hear a whistling sound like the air is being cut.
BOOOOOOM!!!!
Suddenly someone crashes right in front of them. Creating a crater in the form of a muscular man's body.
….
The Strawhats are all on guard as they see that. Out of the crater a man comes out, he is three times the size of a normal human, he has orange hair and is rubbing his head.
"Fu*k, how does someone like Kaido do this jumping from Sky Islands." Says the man, he is Escanor, and except Naruto and Dead Cat, everyone else feels intimidated by the dangerous feeling Escanor emanated.
Escanor looks at Naruto and says. "Well hello there, little brother. I guess your crew is kinda weak aren't they?"
This annoyed Luffy as he charged at Escanor.
"Gomu Gomu no Pistol."
Pow!!!
The fist hits Escanor and he just looks at Luffy with a weird look on his face, his body hasn't moved at all from the hit. "Not trying to be demeaning or anything… but I literally didn't even feel anything from that hit."
"Gum Gum Gatling." Yells Luffy as he is angry at Escanor. But the latter just blinks as he feels the countless hits land on his body. But he still doesn't feel any discomfort from them. He can feel that he is being hit, but that's it.
"Gum Gum Bazooka." Luffy uses his strongest attack, but Escanor's body is still standing. No injury onto him whatsoever.
"Is that it?" Asks Escanor. "Let me show you how a real attack is like."
<Soru>
Fwish!
He disappears from everyone's line of sight. The only indicator that the Strawhats can sense is the wind.
Escanor appears behind Luffy and punches him in the head.
<Normal Punch>
Pow!
Baam!
Luffy crashes on the ground and blood comes out of his head. He is knocked out instantly. Escanor's Haki easily overtook Luffy's defensive robber properties.
"So that is it?" Questions Escanor as he looks at Luffy on the ground, his head bleeding and his eyes rolled on the back of his head. "Quite pathetic, you will be slaughtered in the New World."
{Mutton Shot}
Pow!
Sanji kicks Escanor on the back of his head, the man looks at the cook and goes to slap him on the face. But suddenly arms appear all over Sanji and help him evade the attack by making a rope of hands to get him out of the way.
{Brain Point} Chopper analyses Escanor and has a nervous look on his face. "H -He has no weakness… I have never seen someone like this."
Escanor smiles at this and puts his hands up in 'surrender'. "Don't worry… I am not here to fight you. Just wanted to show you the difference in power so you don't die out of arrogance as you step further onto the Grand Line."
He then picks up Luffy from the ground and pokes him a couple of times. Immediately Luffy opens his eyes as it seems like the muscles under his body move like worms.
<Muscle Healing> His head is mended by his own muscle fibers and his wound closes.
Luffy has an annoyed look on his face as he looks at Escanor and says. "Fight me again!!!"
Escanor only blinks at this. "You might die if I hit you in the head another time like that… stupid."
Naruto holds Luffy back as he seems even more annoyed at this. Escanor only chuckles at this. "Anyway, just wanted to test how strong you guys were. Though you are a little weak, you guys have a bunch of potential to be strong. So see ya~"
Booom!!!
A creator is made on the ground as Escanor jumps up.
….
As Escanor is up in the sky and using <Geppo> to fly, he can't help but contemplate on the Strawhats. 'Weak… so unbelievably weak. Naruto could beat the captain by himself too… honestly only the Swordsman is anything worthy and that is mostly because of his instincts, he didn't attack me even once. He knew that he would have been defeated in one hit, and knew that I wasn't going for the kill.'
….
On the other hand, in the New World Jaw is currently on Fishman Island, with his daughter Ino by his side.
They walk towards the Royal Family palace.
….
-Jaw POV-
I look at Ino and smile slightly, she is my favorite daughter that's for sure. "So, can you transfer the memories on how to read the Poneglyphs to me?"
As I ask her that, she nods at it. "Yep, but you should be careful though, that much memory transfer can cause some headaches on other people."
I smile at that and pat my daughter's head, she only reaches up to my waist in height. "Don't worry about it."
Ino smiles at that. "Anyway dad, did you like Pluton?"
Yeah, I loved it. That weapon is something else, a ship that can actually destroy the world. Of course not in a literal sense, just like Whitebeard can destroy the World… by going to every island and sinking them. That way of destroying the world, not literally just one punch to destroy the world.
"Yes… yes I did like it Ino. Now it seems like we only need Uranus to complete the whole set." I explain to her, as I pick her up and sit her on my shoulder.
Ino nods at that. "Now we just need the last road Poneglyph and we have everything in place."
I smile at her. Yep, I already have the imprint from the Poneglyph in Zou, I have the dead Big Mom's Poneglyph and I also have an imprint of Kaido's Poneglyph… now I just need the last one. It used to be on Fishman Island, but it's no longer here.
Now I could go and search for it… but that would be useless really.
"So we just get Neptune's memory of the last Poneglyph, I read it and then it will be done right? You will become Pirate King?" Questions Ino, she obviously knows of my plan on how to get access to Laugh Tale. Back then, I didn't go with Roger because it would put a target on my back… but now…
"Yes Ino… we will then get all the treasures in the world~" I tell her with a teasing tone to my voice.
"Ahahahahaha…" Ino laughs and then a dangerous look appears on her face. "I can't wait for it…"

AUTHOR NOTE:
This was the MC's plan, that is why he never needed to keep track of the Road Poneglyph that used to be on Fishman Island, there were enough people who have seen it already. Even he himself has, but he doesn't like his daughter looking at his memories of that time...
