One Piece: Throne War

Arriving on the ship Sairaorg was shocked to see two new members. Because Cross doesn't explain anything.

"Ah they're both new members, the black hair is Komuro and the silver hair is Hisashi" Cross explained to Sairaorg.

"My name is Sairaorg Bael, nice to meet you," said Sairaorg.

"Nice to meet you too," said Takashi and Hisashi together.

"Where is Shizuka?" Cross asked.

"She is taking a shower" answered Hisashi.

"Shower? This ship has a bathroom?" Cross asked, confused.

"Eh? Of course, there is, it is at the back of the ship" Hisashi answered with surprise because he did not expect Cross to ask that.

"Ah, this ship is the pirate ship that I took on my way to Lvneel," Cross said. Takashi and Hisashi finally understood why Cross asked such a thing.

"Oh, you're back," said Shizuka, who is now wearing shorts and a shirt that exposes her cleavage. Seeing that, Cross just gulped. But in his mind 'thank you for the food.'

"I just returned to pick up my friend. Who are the people you should meet on Minion Island?" Cross asked.

"She is a sniper, former Commodore Marine if I am not mistaken. I want to meet him, maybe she is interested in becoming your crew," Shizuka said. And think 'three people .... Fufufu.'

Cross suddenly shivered. And he looked at Sairaorg "don't change form if on a trip we meet pirates or later when fighting on Swallow Island." Sairaorg just nodded but the others were confused about what he meant.

Three days have passed and they have not met a pirate ship. Cross gives the bat to Takashi and Hisashi. They say using a bat is more comfortable than a sword. Cross said "tomorrow we will leave for Swallow Island so today you are free to go everywhere. Don't get lost because this is a pretty big city. I will give you 100,000 berries for your needs. Sairaorg comes with me to accompany Shizuka to meet her friend. Come on Shizuka."

They walked for about thirty minutes to arrive at Shizuka's friend's residence. Shizuka knocked on the door and not long after a woman came out. The woman has purple hair, red eyes, and a large c.h.e.s.t. The woman is shocked to see Shizuka and immediately hugs her. Cross saw this just thinking 'big mountain meets a big mountain.' The woman tried to kick Cross because she realized Cross was dirty-minded. But she was shocked because her kick passed Cross's head. "Logia?" the woman unconsciously said the word.

"Wow, there is someone in this ocean who knows about Logia." Cross was surprised because someone knew about Logia.

"My name is Rika Minami and I am a former Commodore Marine" Rika answered.

"Former marine? But why do I smell thick blood from you? Have you just retired?" Cross asked seriously.

"Hooo he is interesting," Rika said.

"Your food is ready, master!" someone shouted from inside the house.

"Let's go inside, do you want to eat too?" Rika asked. Then they all entered the house. At the dining table, there was a fat and bespectacled boy.

"He is my student in shooting," Rika said.

"My name is Kohta Hirano, do you want to eat too? I'll prepare it if you want," Kohta introduced himself and asked.

"It's not necessary, tea is enough," Cross replied. Then Kohta prepares tea for the guests.

"So, why are you here Shizuka?" Rika asked while eating.

"I will go to join Cross became pirate," Shizuka said.

"Pirates? And you will follow this kid? No way!" Rika shouted very loudly.

"Then why if you forbid me? I'll still go!" Shizuka said determinedly.

"I will sail for another four years and that is not necessary if Shizuka will become a pirate or not. But she will still go with me to leave North Blue," Cross said with a little killing aura.

"Urghhh, can you take back your aura?" Rika said with panting breath.

"Okay, why did you forbid Shizuka from becoming a pirate? Someone with a job like you forbids other people from becoming pirates. How ridiculous" Cross asked.

"What do you mean Cross?" Shizuka asked, confused.

"The smell of blood that she has is so thick. And you say she is a former marine and also she is not a pirate. Which means she works in the Underworld. Assassin? Bodyguard? I don't know what kind of work she does." Cross said, explaining.

"Underworld? You work in the Underworld now?" Shizuka asked Rika.

"I really don't like smart kids like you," Rika said irritably.

"Oh am I right?" Cross asked.

Rika saw Shizuka and could only sigh. She said "Yes I work in the Underworld now. And I became someone's bodyguard. But maybe soon the family of the people who hire me will be destroyed because they are having a conflict with the Von family from Swallow Island."

'Von family from Swallow Island? really coincidence. ' Then Cross asked, "is the person you are guarding an important person in the family?"

"Yes that person is the head of the family, why are you asking?" Rika asked, confused.

"Can you contact that person? I have an agreement," Cross said.

Rika thought about it for a while and contacted the boss. After talking for a while he said "let's go. My boss said to want to meet you."

"Why do you trust Cross so much?" Shizuka asked Rika.

"He can feel my aura and also I feel that if I fight him I will lose. I think it's enough to say he is strong," Rika explained to Shizuka.

Then they ride a horse at Rika's house to go to the boss's house. And ten minutes later arrived. The gate opened and an old man greeted them "I'll take you guys."

"Heeee assassin?" Cross asked.

The old man gasped at Cross's words. But he keeps walking. They arrived at the front door and the old man said "please come in, the boss is waiting inside."

In the room, there is a woman wearing s.e.xy clothes. "Welcome young man, my name is Yuriko Takagi. The family head of Takagi Family," Yuriko said introducing herself.

"My name is Cross, can we go directly to the topic of discussion?" Cross asked.

"Oh, you're the type of guy who doesn't like useless talk. I like it" said Yuriko

"if I can kill all the Von Family members on Swallow Island what price can you afford?" Cross asked with a cold tone.

"Don't joke around! Do you know what you just talked about !!" Yuriko shouted.

"Why are you angry? Even if I fail and die your family will have nothing to do" Cross replied calmly and coldly.

'What the hell is this guy. Where does that confidence come from? 'Yuriko thought hard. Then she asked, "what payment do you want?"

"Your whole family joins my family," Cross replied.

"No way !! Don't test my patience young man !!" Yuriko said in a very high tone.

"You don't want to? Come on Shizuka, we go," Cross replied, standing up

Seeing this, Yuriko did not know what to say. 'What is the real goal? Does he not want money? ' Yuriko thought hard about Cross's goal.

"Ah, after I finished eliminating all of the Von Family then the next is Takagi Family" in a very cold tone.

Hearing that Yuriko woke up from her reverie and immediately shouted "wait !!"

Hearing that Cross stopped and asked, "what's wrong?"

"What will you do to Takagi Family if I agree with your demands?" Yuriko asked. Yuriko really thinks the best for her family.

"I will make those who follow me become strong. Then became the ruler of Underworld in East Blue and North Blue. After that West Blue and South Blue will be the next target. When four seas have become territory then Paradise will be my target. I must be ready if I want to make a storm in the New World. " Cross replied with great determination.

'I feel that if I agree to this agreement I will really fall into a very deep hole. But I have no other choice because the Von Family is getting stronger every day and they will destroy Takagi Family. All or nothing, 'thought Yuriko. "I agree with your request. If you destroy the Von Family then Takagi Family will join you" Yuriko said.

"Well then," Cross extended his hand to Yuriko.

"Nice to do business with you. But what is your family's name?" Yuriko shook Cross's hand and just smiled helplessly

"Diablo" Cross replied.
