Child Of God

A few years had gone by at this point and Esdeath was currently sitting on her throne above a certain island.

She had arrived here for a specific reason and she was ready for the show that was about to start.

She was in one of the four seas and this one was known as East blue. And the island she was overlooking was one named Dawn island. And right now a blonde little boy was preparing to sail off to fulfil his dream of becoming a pirate.

'He is headstrong, determined and brave. And a rare talent in the world he most definitely is." Esdeath sat with her right leg crossed over her left. Her eyes were locked on the blonde kid, but that didn't mean she didn't see the other two boys on the island.

'And here comes the man of the hour.'

A massive luxuries ship was sailing towards Dawn island. Powerful Marines were assigned to this ship. Most of them hated this duty but they served the master of the ship so they couldn't refuse.

On another part of the island, a man covered with a green cloak was walking towards a big junkyard that was located outside the Goa Kingdoms gates.

Esdeath was aware of his presence on the island, and also what he came here for.

The boy had finally set sail. And in just a few minutes his life would change forever. His boat was tiny when compared to other ship, but for him, that had never sailed before, a tiny one was still difficult to control.

The seconds until the meeting were counting down and the boy had no idea what was about to happen. He had never seen a celestial dragon or their ship. So he had no idea who he was about to pass.

The big ship that was transporting the celestial dragon was finally meeting the boy's boat. On the ship stood a man in a glass helmet. His eyes had caught sight of the boy, and in his eyes, you could see raging anger.

"He dares to sail on my waters... KILL HIM!" The man shouted to a man standing behind him.

A black suit and a large gun strapped to his back. This man walked towards the world noble and pulled out his gun and rested it on the railing. He took aim at the little boy and without hesitation he pulled the trigger.

*Boom*

The weapon fired and the mini cannonball hit the bottom side of the helm on the ship. The boy got hit by the shockwave and got knocked into the mast.

"ugh, what the hell? Why would they shoot my boat?" He used his hand to support himself. He got up on unsteady legs and looked towards the ship.

"FINISH HIM OFF!" On the big ship, he could see a man with glass around his head standing and pointing at him with rage in his eyes.

"Who are you?" His sight was a little blurry so the man looked like a single big white spot. With his consciousness slipping away from him, he tried to move his body to jump into the sea, but he didn't have the strength for it.

The man in the black suit had his sight set on the boy and fired with no mercy. But as the bullet was nearing its target a pillar of water shot up between the two vessels and blocked the bullet.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING? DESTROY IT!" The glass head man screamed in his subordinates face.

"Hey, there kid, do you wanna live?" Esdeath had appeared on the boat with the water pillar still raging behind her. She watched the kid struggle to stand up.

"W...Who are you?" His eyes didn't have much strength left so he couldn't see who saved him, he could only hear the voice of a female.

"You could call me a pirate or a Marine. But I also belong to neither. I am gathering a group of people with amazing future potential. And with the right training, you will be able to fight on the biggest stage of the world."

Esdeath willed the water to move, and the pillar changed to a dome that covered the entire boat so no one could see or hear them converse.

"So what say you? Will you join me and become one of the strongest in this world" Esdeath bent down so she was eye level with the boy.

"I wanna escape and be free!" He yelled and fell down unconscious into Esdeath's bosom. She lifted him up in a princess carry.

"Welcome to my organization, Sabo. I will make you a dragon while the rest of the world will remain mere men at your feet.

She snapped her fingers and the dome around the tiny boat started to move. It began to sink and not long after that, the glass head man shot the black-suited man in the head.

"WORTHLESS! IT WAS JUST SOME WATER! USELESS!" The celestial dragon kicked his dead subordinate over and over again. He stood there and screamed profanities while saliva and other fluids flew around him and rained down on the people surrounding him.

On an island in the New World, a large bubble appeared just outside its beach. On the beach itself, three girls were sparring with each other. They were all looking like skinny supermodels but under that exterior, great power was displayed.

The bubble started to disappear and the tiny boat was revealed. Esdeath was holding the sleeping Sabo and she was walking on the water towards the beach.

"My lady?" A voice came from behind the three girls. The girls hadn't noticed Esdeath arriving but someone else had.

"How've you been, Kurama?" Esdeath looked at the giant fox human and smiled cheekily.

"Why have you changed? And who might our new guest be?" Kurama looked at the blonde-haired little boy.

"He is the next commander of mine. Sorry to say, but his potential is even better than Hanc.o.c.ks." Esdeath saw Hanc.o.c.k's face form a frown. No one likes to hear what she just heard so she looked a little down.

"oh, I'm sorry poor baby, I meant nothing with it." Esdeath walked over to Hanc.o.c.k and gave her a pat on the head.

"I'm sorry to interrupt, but are we not gonna talk about the fact that you are an entirely different person?" Sonia said while inspecting Esdeath closely. The changes were so extreme that if it wasn't for Kurama recognizing her, then the sisters would never know this was their leader.

"Just go with it, this is just how she is. She does random things like this quite often. And she is an extremely powerful mage so shapeshifting is nothing difficult for her." Kurama sighed out loud after he finished speaking.

He had somewhat gotten used to how weird she was so he could cope whenever she pulls stunts like this. The girl was a different matter, they were standing there and feeling much like a third wheel in this conversation.

"Lady... Whatever your real name is, can you please try and keep it to one form. The concept of becoming another person is just too strange for us." Mari said while clearly struggling to accept this as reality.

"I suppose it's no problem. Now let hear how you're progressing." She turned her gaze to the eldest sister.

"It's going good. My magic core is fully activated so now I can perform magic without collapsing from exhaustion."

Hanc.o.c.k looked proud while her sisters looked jealous.

"And from the look you two have on your face, I will assume you have not yet activated your magic cores."

"No, my lady. It won't be long now, but we are not as talented as our big sister so we will need maybe three more months." Sonia sounded scared as she explained their progress.

"No problem, there is no deadline for this so continue to work hard. And taking it slow means there is a better chance at a good foundation so there is nothing wrong with taking things slow."

"Now, I'm gonna go put this boy to bed. He is quite exhausted after what he has been through." Esdeath walked passed the sisters and Kurama and made her to her cabin in the forest.
