Mark has walked around and explored the entire island during his week at Syurp but finally on the seventh day Mark notices the Strawhats in town on his way to his rented home. He just continues on his way without sparing the crew a glance because he knows he can't join until tomorrow, when the action starts. After a long rest Mark wakes up bright and early and quickly jogs to the North Shore, he sits in a tree after arriving. Waiting for a rapidly approaching dawn and the black cat pirates.
Jango and his men hopped of the boat as I watched, soon Usopp arrived and I watched him get the shit beat out of him after almost getting hypnotized and argueing with Nami for 5 minutes. I jumped down from the tree and grabbed two pirates while Usopp distracted them with his speech. After gaining their strength and speed I continued to grab a few more boosting myself more and more. I had absorbed about 20 of them before Zoro and Luffy launched all of them away. They also noticed me and assumed I was a pirate ( Which I mean I am but I'm not trying to kill them.) Even though I was as strong as them after my absorbing I decided to resolve this issue by dodging and talking.
" Wow there man I'm just passing by I'm not with those pirates." Mark says while dodging a Gomu Gomu no mi aimed at my face. Luffy of course believed me, Zoro didn't but he also noticed my clothes were a nice suit and not the rags that the pirates were wearing so he also believed me ( a little, only enough not to attack or try and kill me.) I absorbed about half the crew before Jango boosted them, But I didn't continue to do so mainly because I was on the lookout for Kuro. Although I will admit watching strength boosted Luffy beat 30 men into submission with a Gomu Gomu no gatling was very entertaining. 10 men were taken out due to Luffy's fall, I quickly ran down and absorbed the 10 and then ran back up, leaving only 20 men and the Meowban Brothers to fight. I quickly decided ""FUCK THE MEOWBAN BROTHERS"" and interrupted Zoro's fight absorbing the brother and Pissing Zoro off.
" HEY DON'T INTERRUPT MY DUELS!!"
" Dude calm they weren't that strong anyway and besides they were kinda gonna kill you if you lost and you looked like you were on the back foot."
" I DON'T CARE DO NOT INTERRUPT A SWORDSMANS DUEL."
" Stop acting like they were Swordsmen and besides that they weren't doing a duel they were double teaming you."
Zoro just growls in response as me and Zoro walk back to the crew after I gave him back the two swords the idiots stole. In the middle of our walk back Kuro appears and starts to get angry at his crew. Zoro and I stopped walking and watched Kuro carefully, I more than him because I knew of Kuro's real strength. In the original the two brothers rushed Kuro but this time two random riffraff do it instead, I just watched them run towards their deaths and as Kuro used his bastardized Soru I walked down the slope and absorbed the rest of the weak men. Leaving only Jango, the two idiots and Kuro himself. I simply couldn't let the last two stay unabsorbed because that would annoy me so when they rushed Zoro I ran in between and absorbed them raising my power to 600 ( Doroki, this won't come back after Enies Lobby but for reference the necessary power required to know all six powers is 500 and Lucci's power is 4000 although I believe it's around 6-7000 in his leopard form and the average no name pirate or marine is a Doroki of 10.)
After a few seconds of letting my body adjust to the power I decided enough was enough and Kuro is a shit villain so I used an actual Soru ( Which is possibly the easiest six power to learn because it's just 10 steps in one second and that's easy for everyone that has a power over 400-450 Doroki because Nero could do it and he didn't have a Doroki of 500 yet.) and punched Kuro in his smug prick face, shocking Kuro and throwing him back. I backed off afterword leaving Kuro and Luffy to fight it out as I watched on amused. After the fight Luffy came up and asked me to join the crew because he saw my strength, I of course accepted and Nami talked everything out with Kaya and secured us the going merry. I also absorbed Kuro making my Doroki 700 and making me stronger than everyone before Enies Lobby( Excluding Enel because his fruit is fucking broken, I'm also taking it )
