Dragon Sorcerer In One Piece

Chapter 36 - Rebellion and Chocolate

Shanks woke up from his slumber when he fell from his chair, hitting his head on the floor, he touched his head with the right hand while holding the table with his left to stand up. "Damn that hurt, how long was I…" Shanks didn't finish his sentence as he realized he was touching his head and touching the table at the same time.

Shanks turns his head left to see a shiny ebony metal arm with three red vertical parallel lines in his shoulder, symbolizing his iconic scar in the left eye. Fully functioning just like his old arm, but much lighter and tougher than before. Shanks tremble with excitement as he moves his new arm and hand. Then, he saw a note attached to his hand and without any issue, he removed the note to read it.

[Dear Shanks, this arm is my gift to you. Your new arm is as you know indestructible but there are a few key features I didn't tell you last night.

One: There is a hidden blade in your upper wrist which is made out of the same material as your arm. All you have to do is think about it and the blade will come out, same for putting back in.

Two: The arm itself won't need much maintenance as it is water, sand, and rustproof. Hell, it is magnetic proof, so you don't have to worry about some kid controlling your arm with devil fruit. Still, if you need help just contact me and I will give you a discount on the maintenance fee. Any underworld contact will be able to deliver the message to me.

Three: Do not and I mean DO NOT remove your arm with force. The operation from last night linked your arm to your shoulder nerve so you can move freely. If somehow it is ripped from you without proper steps, you will experience the most painful injury imaginable. So, make sure no giant or Kido gets too close to you.

That is all and I hope to see you around, don't forget our deal from last night. We are now a business partner. From: Hades, King of the Underworld]

"Well, I'll be damned." This is the only thing Shanks can say as he reread the letter one more time. Finishing the letter, he destroys the note with a hidden blade which is very sharp and light that there is no resistance from the air at all.

"Hey, Shanks. What is that thing stuck in your shoulder? Is that an arm?" Yosaopp asked Shanks as others started to wake up from their sleep. Benn Beckman and Lucky Roux paid attention to the Shanks's new arm when Yosaopp spoke. This resulted in both of them wondering if they are still dreaming because they were seeing their captain moving left arm like it was never gone.

"What the?" "Holy crap, Shanks you have an arm!" "What happened while we were in sleep?" Three men shout with amazement and shock as they get close to see the Shanks's brand new arm.

"Well, bring out the ales from our ship if you want to hear the story of how I got this arm. We have reason to party!" Shanks smiles as he shows off his left arm by flexing it.

Meanwhile, 5 Days later

After David finished the operation on Shanks's arm and left a note for further instruction, he flew in the direction of the north. But before he left the island David took a souvenir from Shanks when he entered Shanks's dream and obtained a few skills from him. From this harvest, David got 'Navigation, Weapons: Sword mastery, and Cooking.'

One of the skills that interest David is sword mastery because it seems Shanks is a master swordsman according to his dream. 'It makes sense since Shanks spar with Midhawk occasionally whenever they met in the past. They stopped when Shanks lost his arm which Midhawk lost interest afterward. Maybe I should start carrying a sword, I wonder what kind of sword does the shop have?'

Finishing his thought, David continues his flight as he increases his speed. With his superspeed and flight, he soon passes the Calm Belt and arrives in the second part of the Grand Line, New World where Big Mom and Kaido reside.

'I have to admit, just flying over the seas is just cheating itself in this world. Calm Belt and Red Line are the natural obstacles for the people here and I just fly over them like it's nothing.' David thought as he saw an interesting island in the distance, it was smaller compared to other standard islands he had been before but it has a unique character as the island has a giant skull-shaped rock in the center of the island. "I know this island…"

Hachinosu aka Pirate Island,

David landed on the island to see this island have more pirate activities compared to other islands he has been to. The port is full of pirate sh.i.p.s and the town itself is full of pirates either fighting each other or drinking and eating in the restaurants.

"So, this is the island where Blackbeard pirates hangout after two years' skip. No wonder that stone skull looks familiar, this is where Absalom died and Shiryu obtains Clear Clear Fruit." David looked around for a few minutes until he found a decent hotel to eat and rest for the day.

The hotel David entered has a strict rule of no fighting and killing as the owner is a local pirate captain with a reputation of rules and order. Thanks to this unusual pirate captain, David didn't have an incident with other pirates or problem makers on the island. In his room, David uses the shop system for different kinds of swords as shop inventory has One Piece weapons but also other world items. This is how David has Gideon from Seven Deadly Sins and Lu Bu's Explosive Halberd in his inventory.

After half an hour of searching and complaining about the price of each sword, David decided to go a different route. Instead of classic Japanese swords in One Piece world, David searched for ones from video games and finally found one he was looking for. From 'Devil May Cry' (Not the new version), the sword known as Rebellion is one of the three swords of Dark Knight Sparda and the main character Dante's primary weapon.

"This is the one for me, Rebellion is a fitting weapon for the King of the Underworld after all. The sword is intimidating as hell but so expensive (66 million berries) still it is worth it." David talked to himself as he excitedly purchased the sword, when he pulled out the Rebellion from his inventory, a greatsword with a devil skull guard design came out. It was heavy for a normal person but for David, it was nothing to him as his super strength allows him to lift it like a pencil, a very sharp and dangerous pencil.

The next day, after finishing his breakfast, David left the hotel before anyone could bother him, he once again flew up to the sky and headed toward Totto Land. According to the map, Hachinosu and the border of the Totto Land are close to each other (Around 9 days apart). Within 4 days, David arrived at the edge of the Totto Land which is Cacao island where a whole island is a chocolate-themed place.

'This place is full of real chocolate buildings. Wait, is this the place where Straw Hats encounter that three eyes chick? Maybe I should move to a different island to rest before meeting Big Mom.' Currently, David is standing in the middle of Chocolat Town as he realized that he could encounter a troubling three eyes girl or one of the Sweet Commander. So, David turned around 180 degrees and started walking away, but trouble already found him as a very tall woman with long white hair and carrying a long sword sensed David the moment he entered the town.

"Pudding, sweety, I sense someone strong entered our island a while ago. Notify our mom while I apprehend him." Charlotte Smoothie (29 Years old) said to 10 years old Pudding as she walked away towards the exit of the town.

"Oh man, and we were about to have lunch that I made. Oh well, whoever the intruder is, he is now a dead man by the time mom answers the phone.' Little Pudding thought as she headed to her home.

8 Minutes Later, Chocolate Forest,

David's Haki is warning him of someone strong is approaching as he is about to fly to the main island, the Whole Cake Island. From the power scale, this person is very strong, strong enough to match against Marco from Whitebeard Pirates, or close to senior members of Red Hair Pirates.

'Shit, did I already get detected by one of the Sweet Commanders? I wonder who could it be?' David curses to himself as he puts his new weapons Rebellion from inventory to his back. Just as he pulls out his weapon, a 15.3 feet tall woman with a long sword jumps out of the forest. "Oh shit, she is tall as hell.' This is the only thing David can think of as Charlotte Smoothie tower over him as David is only 5.10 feet tall.

"So, you are the one who I sensed, doesn't look that strong and what is up with that mask? Are you embarrassed to show your face?" Smoothie said as she scanned David from top to bottom. Smoothie became a Sweet Commander not long ago, but her combat experience and Haki tells her that the young man in front of her isn't someone she can take lightly. Before her opponent can draw a weapon, Smoothie draws her sword first and points at him, but before the fight can even start the young man raises both arms to show signs of surrender.

"My name is Hades and I come in peace, I'm here to meet Big Mom for a business opportunity." Hades (David) introduces himself politely as he shows no sign of threatening movement in front of Smoothie. After all, he is here to meet Yonko and make a deal for himself and Underworld for future events.

"You will meet Big Mom soon when I capture you and she can extract your soul." With that, Smoothie takes one long step forward and strikes Hades with her sword. "Liquid Cleaver!"
