Dragon Sorcerer In One Piece

5 Days Later,

Marshall D. Teach stands alone on the beach with a burnout torch in his hand as the entire island is on fire. In the distance, a giant raft ship is approaching the island and when the ship is anchored, two men came out of the ship and came to the shore. The first man is with a large body wearing a wrestling mask, black shirt and white pants. The second man is a skinny pale man with a cane in his hand and wearing a long sleeve shirt with jumper pants. These two men are Jesus Burgess the helmsman and Laffitte the navigator who came to this island after receiving the message from Marshall D Teach.

"Hey, boss. Didn't expect to receive a call from you this early. Also, what is up with the entire island on fire?" Burgess asks with a smile on his face as he watches the entire island burns. They were standing on the beach, so the fire wasn't much of a concern but Teach flinched a little bit when Burgess said 'fire' and Laffitte was the only one who saw Teach's reaction.

"Captain Teach, the ship is ready to sail and we still have to pick up our doctor," Laffitte said with a small smile as he extended his right hand to show the way to the raft ship. Teach seeing this, threw away the torch as he walked towards the ship, "Call me Blackbeard from now on as our pirate group will be known as 'Blackbeard Pirate'. Soon, we will sail to the New World but first, we have to recruit more crew members and then kill someone who did me wrong. I want the Head of the Hades!" With that, Teach unleashes his conqueror's Haki, strong enough to extinguish the entire burning island. Burgess and Laffitte withstood the powerful Haki as they showed a vile smile, certain that their captain is strong enough to kill whoever this Hades is and sail to the New World.

Meanwhile, 5 Days Ago

David ordered his Ninja Khans to set sail as he crossed the Whitebeard's ship. He's first step to spoil Teach's plan was somewhat successful thanks to David's In-game painting brush item from the shop which allowed him to change the Oil Oil fruit's appearance into Dark Dark fruit. David's plan not only prevented Teach from talking real Dark Dark fruit from the Thatch's dead body but also screwed him over by giving him the wrong fruit. Originally, David was going to use the Aura Aura fruit but after concerning fruit's potential power to influence others' emotions just like how Perona's Ghost Ghost fruit and Mrs. Goldenweek's brush did to Straw Hats, he decided on Oil Oil fruit as it is logia fruit with a weakness to fire. It was a bit ironic to give Teach a weakness to fire as he was the one who took down the 'Fire Fist Ace' in the original storyline.

"I hope you feel the burn Teach. When the time comes, I'll be the one who puts you down and makes you beg for mercy just like how you did to Whitebeard in the Marineford Arc. But for now, I will just mess with you with everything I got." David said to himself as his ship was sailing in the opposite direction from Moby D.i.c.k. While waiting for his ship to be alone in the sea, David pulls out his red Dan Dan Mushi and contacts Giberson, one of the Emperors of the Underworld and a man who can acquire anything.

After a few seconds of ringing, the red snail's appearance changes into a drunken face as the voice of the Giberson can be heard, "My king, how can I serve you today?" Giberson is a hardcore drinker so it didn't matter to David as long as Giberson can deliver the goods in the end.

"Giberson, I want you to put a bounty on a man named Marshall D. Teach aka Blackbeard, Captain of the Blackbeard Pirate. Put 50 million berries for his head but add 30 million if anyone can catch him alive, also Teach and his crews are now blacklisted from the Underworld's service." David instructed as he walked down from the upper deck and into his quarter.

"Yes, I will follow your instructions and let Morgans spread the word to our employees around the world. If you don't mind, may I ask why you want this man's head?" Giberson asks David with curiosity as his investigation on David didn't go well just like De Feld's.

"Let just say that Blackbeard made a mistake yesterday and gave me a bad first impression. I do not have room for second chance Giberson, remember that." David gave little warning to Giberson as he was tracking all of the movement of the Emperors of the Underworld including their activities, thanks to the Ninja Khans he marked them with during the meeting a few days ago.

"One more thing, Giberson. I want you to track down something for me, consider this personal request and I know you can accomplish this without any hitch." David said to Giberson and instructed his next order before ending the call. He knew it would be suspicious to add a personal request but he did put a bounty on someone just now so why not ask for one more on the list?

'Now, I guess it's time to visit the second Yonko before entering the New World .' With that David dismisses the Ninja Khans in the ship and stores the ship into his inventory before flying towards the direction of the infamous Red Hair Pirate's location.

11 Days Later,

David managed to find the Red Hair Pirates in the town called Alkoh, located in the West Blue. Wearing the same clothes with a metal mask and carrying a large black case in his hand, David easily found the Red Hair Pirates in the large bar. The Red Hair Pirates as usual were having a party, enjoying their drinks and foods like there is no tomorrow. When David pushed the swinging door and entered the bar there was silence as everyone turned their head to see the newcomer.

"Well, I guess we move from a regular party to a costume party since we have a metal knight here with us." Shanks raises his mug as he welcomes the newcomer as the rest of the pirate members raises theirs to give a cheer. David didn't mind Shanks's way of welcoming him but rather enjoyed the friendly atmosphere from them unlike typical pirates in the world, then again, Red Hairs aren't typical pirates to begin with. David continued his walk and took a seat next to where Shanks was sitting.

"You are a hard man to find, then again you are one of the Yonko and a former member of the Roger Pirates. My name is Hades, recently crowned King of the Underworld." Hades (David) introduces himself as he places a large case next to him. Shanks's smile disappears for a second when Hades mentions Roger Pirates but recovers quickly with a smile on his face.

"You are well informed of your majesty, so what can this simple pirate do for you?" Shanks pours two mugs in front of him and passes one to Hades. Everyone in the bar kept their eyes on these two as Hades grabbed the mug and removed the lower part of the mask to drink. It was a cheap but chill ale as Hades put down the mug on the bar table and pulled out a flask from his pouch and poured a sip of whiskey into his mug. "Do you want some? This is a 30 years old whiskey from North Blue, I believe it is called 'Aurora Blues'. Hades gave his flask to Shanks and drank his mug to show there is no poison in the flask.

"You have very expensive taste, I believe Aurora Blues is worth 700,000 berries per bottle. It's been a while since I've been to North Blue, maybe I should go there next." Shanks poured his mug and passed the flask back to Hades.

"Believe it or not I have never been to the North Blue, I guess the perk of being King is that I can get anything I want." Hades poured more into his mug and put the flask back into his pouch. "I didn't come here to share expensive alcohol but to meet you, Captain Shanks. I believe you lost your left arm 6 years ago somewhere in the East Blue, how about it? In exchange for information, I will give you a new arm." Hades gave an offer to Shanks as once again the entire bar became quiet.

"Hahhaha, You can give me a new arm? I will take the jest, what kind of information do you want, young king?" Shanks laughs and waits for Hades to ask a question, Shanks knows many things thanks to his past and years of exploration but one thing he will never reveal is the location of the Raftel (Laugh Tale). Just like how Captain Roger believed until his death, Shanks believes in journey and adventure, not the destination, this is why he travels around the world. After all, what is the whole point of being a pirate if there is no romance of journey and adventure with his crew members?

Silent in the bar felt like an hour until Hades opened his mouth to ask Shanks a question, "My question is; What was Gol D. Roger like? Old man Whitebeard told me a tale but I want to hear it from Captain Roger's crew member." Hades asked Shanks with a smile as he ordered a bottle of whiskey. The bar was still dead silent and everyone was waiting for Shanks to give his answer, when the bartender brought a bottle of whiskey to the table, Shanks finally gave his answer.

"If you want to hear the story of Captain Roger from me, you better order more than just one bottle of whiskey," Shanks said with a serious voice but his face told a different story as he was happy to share the tales of Roger's adventure with, of course, a mug full of alcohol.

"Well, if that's the case, then I guess drinks are on me tonight. Bartender, bring everything you have and give us your best drinks, we will be here all night." Hades gave the bartender stacks of berries as he ordered out loud so that the entire bar can hear him. The bar went wild as Red Hair Pirates happily cheered and senior members of the Red Hair Pirates prepared a table for Shanks and Hades to take a seat with them.

Shanks and Hades change their table as three senior members join them, they are Benn Beckman the first mate, Lucky Roux and Yasopp the sniper. When the food and drinks came, Shanks shared the grand voyage of Gol D. Roger and what kind of person he is to Hades. The details of the stories and party went on until the next day. In the end, Hades was glad to meet Shanks and his crews as they shared their adventures after Shanks finished his.

"Thank you for telling me about Captain Roger. Somehow I felt I knew the man, thanks to you Shanks." Hades said to Shanks as he poured the last bottle to Shanks's mug.

"No problem, I'm sure Captain Roger would love to meet you." Shanks raises his mug and finishes his drink, there was a sadness in his voice when he mentions Roger. But Shanks also knows that his captain will smack him in the head if he stays in a negative mood so he returns to a cheerful personality with a small smile in his face.

"I should get going, I still need to meet Big Mom and Kaido in the New World after all. Oh, before I forget. Shanks, I promise you a new arm, here it is." Hades put a large black case on the table and opened it to show the content in it. Shanks's curiosity got to him as he stood up next to Hades to see the metal arm inside of the case. The color of the metal arm is black with shiny red colors in the joints and around the forearm. Shanks knows from his intuition that this metal isn't made out of simple material as he can feel it in his guts.

"This isn't a simple prosthetic arm, the arm is made out of a rare metal called Vibranium which is indestructible. When I attach this, you will be able to move it like your old arm, but keep this a secret and don't sell it off to some crazy scientist. After all, this is one of it's kind and made for you specifically." Hades explains it to Shanks as he gives the arm to him so he can examine the arm.

The first thing Shanks realizes is how light the arm is but at the same time believes Hades's claim on the 'indestructible' part. Shanks was 100% certain that he can block Hawk Eye's black sword with just this arm (Without Armament Haki). "You said you need to attach this? Can't I just put it on?" Shanks asked as he gave the arm back to Hades.

"Yes, I need to attach this arm to your shoulder but it will require me to put additional parts so you can move this arm freely. Don't worry, it will be quick and painless." Hades said to Shanks as he closed the large black case.

"Ok, sounds simple enough, what do you want me to do?" Shanks put down the arm on the table as he asked his question.

"Nothing really, you will be in sleep." Hades uses the power of the sheep talisman to put Shanks into sleep and the entire town just in case if someone decided to enter the bar. It took some time for Shanks to go to sleep as he tried to resist the power of the sheep but failed in the end because he had been drinking nonstop for the past 5 days.

'Ok, just a quick operation and he will be able to use his left arm once again. I could use the horse talisman and life magic to regrow his old arm but this is a better upgrade. I mean who doesn't want an indestructible metal arm with a hidden blade in the upper wrist?' Hades thought to himself as he pulled out three surgical robots from his inventory and ordered them to start the operation on Shanks's left shoulder.
