Heaven Realm___
Brook followed behind Maba into the forest that leads towards the huge white crystal castle.
In his way, he saw multiple small houses and the people who live there.
Angel would be better as they really have white bird wings that almost double their own body.
"It's really magnificent, " Said Brook as he looked at the giant crystal gate surrounded by thorn forest.
That was not the only thing to be amazed of, the Town of Happiness was also mind blowing.
The town was very prosperous and still developing which surprised him.
Huge buildings which he never saw before, vehicles that need sunlight to charge them.
It must be because the place is isolated and the pirates can't come in without defeating the sea kings.
No, they won't be able to pass the storm itself.
The different range of people living in it, giants, fishmen, humans, Dwarves/Tontatta tribes, Fairies, Longarm Tribe, Long Leg tribes, Snake Neck tribes, Three-Eye Tribe, Mink Tribe and Merfolk.
Seeing this, Brook was astonished. In his entire life, it was the first time he ever saw these many of them together.
It's like he came to the future, a modern world that has yet to come.
* * *
Facing the huge door to the castle, Brook was feeling extremely nervous.
'Is he really alive… the Devil?, ' Thought Brook as he saw Maba push the door open.
With the door opened, light came into the dark hall.
Not much was still visible, on the sides were large thorn trees and on the ground were vines with spikes.
At the end of the hall, it was dark so Brook couldn't see the person sitting on the big throne.
"What is it?, " A voice came from the darkness, so deep that it created a scary image of the person.
"Master, I found a really interesting person, " Said Maba while bowing towards the end of the hall.
"Hello! My name is Brook and I am here to meet the legendary Devil!, " Introduced Brook as he did a gentleman bow with his hat down.
"You want to meet… Me?, " Asked the voice sounding a little confused as well as surprised.
"Ahem, if it's really the legendary Devil! Wholeheart Akuma, then yes! I am here to thank you!, " Said Brook, still maintaining his position with respect.
"Tell me your story, Skeleton. What is the reason for you to thank me?, " Asked the voice, this time it had some curious tone in it.
"I am from West Blue, Karakura island. The city was a peaceful place but then it started getting attacked by pirates.
Once in a month, the pirates looted the people living there. The people called the Navy, and a base was built there.
But what they didn't expect was the Navy Officials to be corrupted to their core.
In the name of protection, they asked for money and many other facilities.
They started taking the young girls to their base and harassed them.
The people tried to contact the Navy Headquarters but were stopped by those Navy Officials.
But then, they came… The Devil's Pirates!
They destroyed the Navy base and built a pirate camp there.
What was unexpected, is that the pirates were much better than those Navy Officials.
They protected the city from other pirates, they didn't even rule the people.
The only thing they ever asked for was the people's obedience. I come on behalf of the people to thank the leader of the Devil's Pirates.
Brook thanks the Devil for the people, and gives his life to work for him!, " Said Brook getting on his knees and putting his head on the floor.
"They did that? Your people must be lucky to meet such pirates.
Because I personally know how my pirates were, " Replied the voice slowly turning loud.
As Brook raised his head, he saw the person coming out of the shadows.
The height which crossed 6 meters, a body with the right proportion of muscles.
He wore an old black suit that was tattered on the edges of the sleeves and those black shoes.
Long black hairs with on white in them to show his old age, short beards to make the face look good.
Few wrinkles unlike what others expect from old age, and the black eyes with no pupils.
The deep voice is perfect for him, a true person worthy of the title 'The Devil of the Sea'.
Akuma stepped forward and neared Brook, lowering his head to see him.
'A real talking skeleton, ' Thought Akuma, he then looked at Maba with a plain face.
"Bring them back… My Pirates, " Commanded Akuam as he turned back towards the shadows and sat on his throne.
"Yes, Master!, " Said Mana with an excited tone, he then took Brook with him.
*Clank*
The door shut back, everything returned to how it was before inside the hall.
Akuma closed his eyes, he tried to remember but couldn't.
All those memories from his past life were fully blurred out in white.
"He must be an important character like that little girl, " Muttered Akuma as he thought of the skeleton just now.
'All I know is that this world is an anime world created in my past life by someone, ' Akuma had already lined this in his heart.
'But what was anime again?, ' Thought Akuma as he opened his eyes and pondered about it.
"I really got old, " Said Akuma with a bit of sarcasm to himself.
"What a life! It's so complicated!".
