One Piece - Justice Of The Celestial Dragons

Chapter 41 - The Man behind the cloack

"What do you want to achieve by inviting me?" The man asked Sylver without any difference in his tone.

Sylver didn't reply at once, he grinned for a brief moment before replying slowly. "Justice. I want to accomplish true justice in this world. And in the path I'm going, I will need strong and motivated people like you."

"Hmm, you do actually know that I can easily kill you right now, right? Do you honestly think I will accept myself being below someone's who's weaker than me?" The man asked back without any hestiation, but his tone didn't change at all.

Sylver's grin became even larger when hearing him say that. "If you have wanted to kill me, you would have done so earlier. I know, I know that you honestly don't care about my status as a Celestial Dragon, neither do I. Because in my own eyes, I am just a mere human, birthed by my lovely parents, that is who I am, a child of my parents. But, these eyes of mine has seen many things even while being 'locked' in a cage, my ears has heard many things in the cage I have been in. I have been thinking for many years, and I still am doing so, but in the end, I return to the same answer, this world needs a cleansing, which I will do, even if it will kill me in the end...!"

As Sylver was speaking, his Conqueror's Haki peaked once again, he would never lie or go back on his words, this was his promise to himself. And he would accomplish it no matter what.

"That is why, join me." Sylver once again spoke to the man who's figures couldn't be seen. Sylver was at a point he wasn't asking any longer, but ordering to some extent.

"Hahahahaha!" The man laughed out loudly, he couldn't help but to laugh in happiness. He was happy to find someone like him, someone who could see the 'truth' of what the world is going through, but Sylver was going a step further than him, a step which he didn't dare to take in the past. And now, his dream has began to reappear once again, he felt himself being calm and relaxed after having decided to do something.

"I accept. I will join you on your crazy path, I will act as your sword, let me slay the vermins that wants to pollute this world!" He couldn't help but to laugh even more, he felt himself much younger, he couldn't even feel the stress he had been going through over the past decade, protecting the Four Blues.

Sylver reached his hand towards the man, and the man replied by reaching his hand towards Sylver too. The two of them shook hands with a firm grip. This moment was a memory neither of the two would forget in the future, because it was at this time, that Sylver accepted his first friend and his strongest partner, whilst the man accepted a 'brother' and his partner that would help to accomplish their dreams.

"Do you have anything left to do in the Four Blues before leaving?" Sylver asked in a calm voice whilst smiling.

The man shook his head. "I will call my subordinates to protect the Four Blues while I'm away. They should be able to protect against anything as long as it's not the Emperors of the Seas or anyone as strong as them. They are all people that has similar d.e.s.i.r.es that us, wishing to protect what we hold dear."

As they were talking, Sylver and the man began to fly towards Water 7, Sylver was listening carefully to what the man was saying.

"During the time I was in the New World, I left the pirate crew I was in. After having leaving, I slowly found people around the New World, wanting to join me for different reasons at that time. But over the passage of time, we began to understand what we should do, and that is to protect what we hold dear. Because most of our childhood were destroyed by pirates. For example, my parents and my siblings got massacred by pirates, only I survived, I was four years old at that time, I had to live on the streets." The man began to talk about his past with his usual gruff and deep voice.

"I thought that only by being a pirate, that you could grow strong. That is why I took the path I never should have...! Only after making more mistakes, I left and began to do what I should have done. I was in the New World for around five years, and during that time, over a thousand strong men and women, humans, giants, minks, fishmen and people from many other races joined along. We grew stronger and larger by the passing day. But our strength wasn't enough to shake the base of the Four Emperors, that is why, we left the New World, and we began protecting the Four Blues." He explained slowly to Sylver, about his past travel in the New World.

The two of them were speaking together, both of them talking about their past. After having flown for about an hour, Sylver slowly began to lose his consciousness, but he bit his tongue, not wanting to lose his conscious yet. Even after tasting the iron in the blood from the bite wound on his tongue, he didn't stop biting it.

The man clearly managed to smell the blood, but as Sylver wasn't saying anything, he didn't say anything either. He had enough respect towards Sylver to not stop his effort of supporting himself.

They were flying for around half a day before arriving at Water 7. Sylver saw the SkyWard Bound docked and he went towards it, followed by the golden eyed man. After finally landing on his feet, Sylver barely managed to keep himself awake, but he had his usual calm expression and his small smile on his face, he didn't stagger once, standing straight.

"This is my ship - SkyWard Bound. You're pretty much a 'crew' in my group right now, therefore, will you finally let me know who you actually are?" Sylver didn't rush anything at all, taking everything step by step. Sylver did sense that Hanc.o.c.k was standing behind him, but he was focused on the man right now.

"Seems like there's no point in delaying this any longer then." The man's gruff and deep voice still was there, but there was also a hint of pride in his tone for some reason. He slowly reached his hand and grabbed the black cloak that was around himself and ripped it off his body with a swift movement.

His long, smooth, blue hair was hanging down, reaching down to his back. His skin was white, not even slightly tanned, and he was wearing a red t-shirt with blue pants. "It may be a late introduction, but here it is." He paused for a brief moment as a smile appeared on his face. "My name is Buggy D Zimmerman, the one that travelled the world with the previous Pirate King, and the one that will eventually kill the Emperors!" Buggy's deep and gruff voice sounded powerful, not even matching his young look, Buggy looked much younger than his actual age, he was 30 years old, but only looked like someone in his 20s.
