Old Tale
Baal POV
[What was all that?]
"What?!" Yelled Baal in embarrassment
[A demon wielder huh? And you were acting all sinister and all that. Also, you were literally born today, not hundreds of years ago...]
"Since I'm a demon now, I should act like one you know? I have a reputation to keep! And if you're hundreds of years old, you would be a wise guy, right? He would probably trust me more, and it's kinda fun making a story." answered Baal with a hint of embarrassment
[mhm]
Anyway, after the aura came out of the sword, Zoro tried his best to control it. After a few minutes of Zoro trying to control the sword, he passed out because of exhaustion. I don't know what that aura was, maybe it was haki? Or maybe it's something else, you know, from another anime, since you can literally buy bankai on the store.
After a few minutes of waiting for Zoro to wake up, I got irritated and poked Zoro's moss head, but to my dismay, I couldn't touch him.
"Hey system, why can't I touch him?"
[You do not have a physical body]
"I'll start doing mission once we go to another Island kekekekeke. Ah, and what's the timeline right now? I don't think I've ever seen this island before in the manga"
[Right after the straw hats left Alabasta]
"Is that so?"
After thinking for a while, I sensed 6 people running toward the center of the island. I don't know how I could sense them, but I had no time to think about it because the 6 figures were closing on me very fast.
"They must be Luffy and the others kekekeke" I laughed out with a hint of amusement

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I don't like this place, it's creepy. I hate it!" Said Chopper
For some reason, Luffy and Chopper was the most sensative out of all of them. Maybe it's because Chopper is an animal? he has animal instincts? Who knows?
Sanji could also sense the danger coming from the forest, but it was just a hint of it, nothing out of the extreme. Zoro is the same as Sanji, but it was more closer to him and direct to him so he felt it completely.
After a few minutes of running, the straw hats made it to the center of the forest. They saw Zoro laying on the ground unconscious, holding a purple sword that they have never seen before.
"Zoro" Yelled out everyone except Robin
All of them was worried for Zoro, so they started to run towards him.
"DOCTOR! WE NEED A DOCTOR! SOMEBODY CALL A DOCTOR! WAIT! I AM A DOCTOR!" Yelled Chopper while running around
After checking Zoros body for a while, chopper deduced that Zoro was ok, just exhausted.
"We should go to the ship and let Zoro rest" Said Chopper
"Yosh! Let's go to the ship! Sanji I'm hungry from all that running, cook something shishishsi" Luffy said
"Yeah yeah, I'll cook something" Answered Sanji
'That sword...' Thought Robin
.

"BOOZE!"
A yell could be heard from one of the room on the Going Merry
"That idiot finally woke up?" Asked Sanji
"I have to check on Zoro" Said chopper as he walk inside the Going Merry
Zoro was resting on a bed right next to him was a purple katana on its scabbard. Apon waking up, Zoro woke up with his head throbing, he looked around and saw a familliar room. Then a cute foot step was heard from outside. When the door open, Zoro saw the rest of his crew, this seen made him smile a bit.
"So you guys were safe, that's good." Said Zoro
"Zoro! I have to check your body, we found you unconscious at the middle of the forest" Said chopper
"Yeah Zoro, what happened? did someone attack you or something? Maybe a g-g-g-ghost?!" Said Usopp
"Attack? Nah, I found this talking sword calling himself Balls or whatever. He might be one of the 21 great grade swords"
"Balls?" Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper questioned while tilting their heads.
"Yeah he's name is Ball, he said he's hundreds of years old" said Zoro
"YOU BASTARD! MY NAME IS BAAL!" Screamed Baal from the corner
"See he's talking right now" Said Zoro as he looked at the direction of Baal
When Zoro said those words, all the answer he got was silence
"What voice? We didn't hear anything?" Said Usopp
"ZORO BECAME BRAINDEAD! WE NEED A DOCTOR! WAIT I AM A DOCTOR! BUT EVEN I CAN'T FIX THIS! wooooo" Said Chopper as he started crying
"What the hell are you talking about?! I'm not braindead! Didn't you hear him?!" Yelled out Zoro.
"Kekekeke. They can't hear me, you moron. Only if I allow it, then they will be hear me" Said Baal explaining to Zoro.
After calling Zoro a brainless, dumbass swordsman who always get loss, a girl at the back finally spoke. Robin was thinking about something form the moment she saw the sword on Zoro's hand when he passed out in the middle of the forest.
"That sword... It can't be... I thought it was just a legend" Murmured Robin as she stared at the purple sword.
"What's wrong Robin? Do you know what that sword is?" Said Nami as everyone else look at Robin
"Is it one of the great grade swords?!" Asked Zoro with a big smile on his face, hoping that it was a famous sword
"No it's not" answered Robin
This answer made Zoro frown a bit and looked at the sword at the corner of his bed.
"Kekekekeke" Laughed Baal
"That sword, I don't like it" Said Luffy with a serious face
"What's wrong Luffy?" Asked Zoro
"I don't know, I just don't like that sword. I wont force you to get rid of it, but be careful with it Zoro"
"Yeah you should be careful with it, I'm getting this uncomfortable feeling whenever I look at it" Said Chopper
After the conversation about the sword, Zoro looked back at the sword with a frown, but the sword just answered with a laugh. After the talking, everyone once again fell their gaze on Robin who had a thinking face.
"When I was a kid, there was an old man who read me tales about a book called 'The 7 Great Demons.' He told me that there is only 1 copy of it in the whole world, and the other half of it's book is nowhere to be found. 'The 7 Great Demons' was a legend about 7 demons that went up againts the Gods.
Long ago there was a massive war going on, it was war for libiration. There was 2 factions in this war, the Libiration Faction and the Alliance. The Alliances purpose was to keep peace in the world and stop a revolution that called themself Libiration. In the book, they portrait the Libiration factions as evil, they said that the Libiration faction wanted to end the world peace that the Alliance created for the people.
On the other hand, the Libiration believed themselves to be the savior of this world, to Liberate the people and free them from their shackles. They believed that The Alliance was fruads, they said that the Allience only want power for themselves.
In the middle of the war, the leader of the Alliance created 7 swords, that was rightfully named the 7 Great Demon swords. The leader of the Alliance was unknown, but he was said to be so powerful to the point where the leader alone can erase a whole island.
Using the 7 great demon swords, the Alliance saw progress in their fronts, as they handed it to 7 people who could wield the power of these swords.
When the Libiration faction saw the affectiveness of the swords, they themselves created 7 swords, called the 7 Holy Swords (Not very creative Ik, but I don't wanna bother with the names hehe).
The wielders who held the demonic swords called themself the Demon wielders, while the 7 holy swords wielder called themselfs the Angelics.
The wielders faught till their last breath, and only the 7th demonic wielder and the 4th Angelic was standing. Even though they were exhausted, they fought for 4 days and 4 nights. In the end, both of the wielders died and the swords was sealed away by the 2 sides.
I thought this story was just a legend, but then I saw that sword, they described the 7th sword, the sword of fear, just like that sword over there. Maybe the story is true, maybe something happened in the void century, and this sword is just a fragment of the true story!" Robin summerized the intire story to the Straw Hats.
After hearing about the story from Robin, some of the straw hats were shocked and some was skeptical, and one was sleeping.
After hearing the story, Zoro looked at the sword at the corner and asked,
"Is that story true?"
The sword didn't answer for a second but then started to laugh.
"KEKEKEKEKEKE! Maybe, maybe not! KEKEKEKEKEKE! Who knows"
