Chapter 3

(Ceres Pov)

It has been 3 months now since Aiden now named Zaire awakened his memories it is now June, We talk every once in a while using the chat function. Ever since the day I awakened my memories I have been training physically with weights, I would train my devil fruit but due to how destructive it is making me unable to train in the house and there is barely any forest on the island.

I have also begun carrying Ace around on my hip, it is a little big for me even though I am pretty tall for my age, and due to me working out and eating the nutrition packed sea king meat, I have grown a little more to 5' 2 bordering 5'3.

Over the past few months, I have also been walking around the city getting used to the place, even though I know I will have to leave eventually to get a better hold on my training of the devil fruit.

I have also had several run-ins with the Marines that have started patrolling the city, This was due to the increase in pirates coming to Logue town to see the platform where my father was killed, the pirate king.

At the moment I was walking around the city wearing a simple pair of pants and a T-shirt, I wore bandages over my forehead to hide my scars and my third eye, Weirdly though I can see through the bandages perfectly.

I only hide my third eye because back when my mother was alive she would be ridiculed and harassed for having a third eye, as the three-eyed tribe was little known about in the East Blue.

Walking down the streets I looked at the many people walking around laughing and smiling, having a good time with friends and families. 'If only my mom was alive' I say in my head sadly as I walk into a crowded area and I started pickpocketing as many people as I can.

whenever I leave my house, I go to try and make as much money as I can so I can fund my leave from this island, through a merchant ship that visits Logue town from once and a while.

After half an hour of pick-pocketing as many people as I can, I go into an alleyway that is near my house that is out of the way of anyone, I began counting the money coming to a total of just 15,000 Belli.

"Well, well, well, look who's on our turf" I heard a weirdly squeaky voice from behind me say as I turned around to see a group of guys standing there, they looked to be in their mid 20's, "Some snot-nosed brat," the Man with black hair and too many piercings standing behind the leader said.

"Come on guys just let me go, I don't want to hurt you," I said to the Leader with a bored voice, the leader was a man with Black hair and a scar going over his nose, He was wearing a T-shirt and a pair of cargo pants, He had a tattoo of a Knife on the upper arm of his right arm.

Hearing me say this the group of people burst into laughter "Haha Did you hear what he said boys, he doesn't want us to get hurt, Go and kill Him" The boss of the group said as Two of the people walking towards me with the knife's out making me sigh

"Fine then, if your gonna try and kill me, I'll try and kill you," I say out loud as my eyes dull and I dash at the two of them, This surprises them giving me enough time to punch the Guy to the right of me in the gut making him cough up saliva and dropping his knife, before he flies into the wall of the alleyway causing a minor dent in the wall as he falls unconscious.

Seeing this I turn around to the other guy who visibly stepped back a bit before he started running at me with the knife again. Seeing this I quickly jumped backwards towards the knife that was on the ground.

I quickly grab the knife on the ground as the guy goes to slash me horizontally, so I Quickly duck down and I plunge the knife I was holding Into the dude's Stomach before pulling it back out and kicking him in the Leg with full force.

I watch the dude fall to the ground with blood leaking from the stab wound, "Guys Get up" I hear the boss of those two guys say as I turn my head to him to see the dude with the three others behind him shaking.

"You guys are useless, Everyone go kill him," The leader says as the remaining 4 people from behind him run at me each with knives in their hands. "Why the hell does this have to happen to me today," I Say out loud and sigh

"Die," I say out loud as I control my shatter energy to concentrate on my hand A red aura appears on my arm causing the four guys and the leader to stop what they were doing "W-What the Hell, he's a monster" one of the four say as I ignore him.

"Shatter Into Nothing," I say as the reddish black Shatter energy fly's from all five of my fingers hitting all five of the remaining conscious thugs, The shatter energy causes their bodies to visibly start forming red cracks on their bodies before exploding into Red cubes scattering and hitting the ground and walls causing for blood to go everywhere.

'Shit, that's too destructive, I have to get out of here before the Marines get here' I say in my mind as I turn around in the opposite direction of all the would-be dead bodies and I began running away from the spot, Not before I absorb their souls and strength.

"Wait you bastard" I hear from behind me making me turn around, to see a boy with Light green hair who had very sharp teeth, he was wearing a black and white checkered shirt and a pair of shorts, He had a gun on his hip and looked to be around the age of 4 maybe 5.

"What do you need Kid," I say to the kid that oddly looked familiar to me "Hmmph I saw how you killed Ajax and his crew, If you don't give me all your money I'll hand you over to the marine's," The kid said to Me making me sigh as he pointed the gun at me

"No, now fuck off kid," I say to him annoyed not even caring for the gun pointed at me, " Stop calling me a kid, My name is Bartolomeo," He said angrily as my eyes widened

'So that's why he looked familiar' I say to myself as I smiled "Alright, well my name is Ceres, Why are you trying to rob me even after what I did to Ajax" I say to Bartolomeo as he smirked

"Why should I be afraid, I can always call for the Marines," He says to me as I smirked and let out dimension lost from my foot surrounding both of us and the Alleyway making it look the same as the alleyway.

"I'm not scared of them coming here, after all, I'll be wanted by them in the future once I become the Pirate King and I am above everyone else," I say confidently as Bartolomeo's eyes widened in surprise.

"You want to be the pirate King, there are hundreds of people becoming pirates after Gold Roger died, what makes you think you'll be able to become the pirate king," Bartolomeo says to me making me smirk

"The other pirates will just make the adventure an adventure to remember, Besides I will just crush the pirates that are in my way, "I say with pure confidence in my voice as I suddenly hear a small voice in my head

'Can these bastards get away from my trash bag' I hear as I look to the left of me where the garbage bag was and saw a Rat looking at me. ' This must be the voices of all things, just like Luffy, and Roger had it' I say in my head as I turn my head back towards Bartolomeo

"Why don't you join me as my first mate on my pirate adventure," I say to Bartolomeo as I put my hand out for a handshake "Fine you bastard, I'll join your crew C-Captain," he said in an embarrassed voice as he grabbed my hand and shook it firmly it kinda reminded me of how he fanboyed over Luffy and the Strawhats.

"Why did you try taking my money even after seeing what I did to Ajax," I ask him as I absorbed the dimension-lost mist into my foot, as it used a bit too much energy than I wanted it to, We began walking away from the bloody scene in the alleyway

"I don't know man I just thought I could get some quick cash from you," He says in a laid-back voice as I nod my head "I'm heading home, You can come with if you want I'm all alone anyway," I say to him as I walk in the direction of my house as he continued following me.

"I don't have anywhere to go, I'll stay with you," He says to me as I nodded my head, as My house was quite empty anyway with just me living there all alone

"Whatever, just know we won't be staying on this island for long, I want to go to Marrow Island and I plan to pay a Merchant ship to bring me there, Now that there are two of us we can get the money faster," I say to Bartolomeo as we enter my house in the darkness of the night.

"Marrow Island, why the hell do you want to go there, it's a deserted island known for its bone white trees and dangerous animals that 'eaves anyone that goes there just bones" Bartolomeo Said to me loudly making me hit him on his head giving him a bump on it.

"Shut up idiot, We're going there so we can train for the future, it will also allow us to stay hidden from the world until we are ready to set sail." I say to Bartolomeo as he nodded with stars in his eyes "As expected of Captain Ceres, he knows what best to do" He says while crying causing me to sigh at his actions

"Let's make some food before we go to sleep, You can sleep in my late mother's bed," I say to him as I go to the freezer I recently bought from a store just a few days ago, and grab out a few large pieces of Sea king Meat to put on the fire that Bartolomeo started

After a little while the food finished cooking, and while we ate Bartolomeo and I talked and got to know each other a little better. I learned that Bartolomeo was born into a mafia family with his father being the boss of the mafia family and this was known because the mafia was named after him, Just last year the Marines ended up catching the mafia family and arresting every single member of the family leaving Bartolomeo alone.

I have also learned that Bartolomeo was 4 years old and he will be turning 5 in a couple of months, This was different than Cannon as in Cannon Bartolomeo would only be three at the moment.

Hearing him tell me all about himself honestly, I also told him about myself and everything about me minus my reincarnation wishes, and the system along with my three friends.

After he got over the shock of me being the son of the pirate king and that I am only 5 years old, I Quickly lay down in my bed and close my eyes and as I fall asleep a blue screen shows up in front of my face.
