Next day___
The storm had passed away, making the island fall under the sunlight.
Inside the cave, Blaze opened his eyes with the slightest body movement.
But then he immediately flared in anger, he clenched his fists and shouted.
"Damn you!"
Yesterday night, he lost in a game of Rock Paper and Scizor.
The opponent was obviously Luffy, he came barging into his cave while bringing a group Nightcrawlers.
If it weren't for Blaze, Luffy would have been eaten like a Chewing Gum.
Blaze still remembered Luffy's words that he said just before leaving the cave.
"I defeated you! That's why I will become the pirate king! Whether you like it or not!"
Blaze got up with his angry face, he slowly stepped out of the cave and looked around the shores.
The pirate ship was already gone.
"Never!"

Paradise___
"Luffy, what did you do?"
Asked Usopp while sitting next to Luffy and staring at him intensely.
"I defeated him in a game of Rock Paper and Scizor! Now he believes that I will become the pirate king!"
Luffy rubbed his nose and was proud while saying so. Usopp just stared blankly at Luffy.
"Hey! I see a big fish!"
Suddenly, Zoro shouted from the top of the main mast of the ship.
Everyone on the ship followed Zoro' direction and a shadow swimming towards him.
"Food!"
Luffy' eyes sparkled, saliva dripping down his lips while he clenched his right fist.
"Gomu Gomu no… Pistol!"
Luffy shot his hand towards the fish and grabbed it by the fin.
"Nami, don't you think that this fish is a little big?"
Usopp turned to look at Nami, who also nodded her head while narrowing her eyes.
"Meat!"
Luffy pulled his hand and the fish was also coming closer at a very fast speed.
"No! Luffy! That's not a fish!"
Suddenly, the others recognized the shadow. It was not a fish but an extremely big shark.
It looked small because it was far away but now as it came closer, its size many times their ship.

Somewhere___
In an old castle, the main hall was in darkness with the cold floor.
There were two big sofas opposite to each other, a table in between that separated them.
"Bloody Joker, what brings you here?"
On one sofa, sitting was a very huge man. Gekko Moriah, he looked at the person in front of him.
"I have a deal, do you want to hear?"
Asked Joker while smiling towards Moriah, he tapped his fingers on the table.
"What deal?"
Moriah still cautious, he asked with curious tone to Joker.
"You can have this."
Joker showed Moriah a devil fruit which appeared on his hand directly.
Nobody except Maba and Akuma knows about what devil fruit user Joker is.
"What devil fruit is this?"
Asked Moriah while staring at devil fruit in Joker's hand. It looked like a weird shaped pineapple.
"I heard your making a zombie army to take revenge on Kaido. This here is a zoan devil fruit that can help you achieve the revenge without that army."
Joker smiled at Moriah, slowly placing the devil fruit on the table in front of Moriah.
"Ant devi fruit, lets the user changed his form into a tiny little ant. And here, a super miniature nuclear bomb that is enough to tear Kaido apart from inside."
Joker placed another object on the table beside the devil fruit. A nuclear bomb specially made for Borg to use in his bullets.
Moriah already knows, how rare it is to get these kind of normal zoan devil fruit.
Normally, animal zoan devil fruits are the least special but when talking about insects it changes.
And with the hint from Joker, Moriah understood the idea that they were going.
To kill Kaido from not outside but inside. To tear him apart with this tiny little nuclear bomb.
The bomb can only be activated manually, which means that someone small should stick to the bomb even inside Kaido.
It is solved by this Ant devil fruit, but the user will likely die in the explosion.
"But what do I need to do?"
Moriah took on a more serious expression while Joker had his face grinning.
"Kill them, this entire pirate crew."
Joker placed a wanted poster on the table next to the devil fruit and nuclear bomb.
[Wanted Poster]
[30,000,000 million berries]
[Monkey D. Luffy]
Moriah picked the poster and looked at it, but he saw nothing special about it.
"It's just a rookie pirate. Why are after him?"
Moriah asked in confusion, he couldn't think of a reason in which the infamous Bloody Joker would want to kill a rookie pirate.
Even if he really did, he would have definitely done in himself instead of letting Moriah do it.
"My hands was dyed in blood, I want to wash it. But I can't. And now I feel like it's still not that much red yet I couldn't bring myself to do it. So I am giving you the opportunity to paint yours hands in more blood."
Joker grinned while getting up from the sofa and hopping out of the castle leaving Moriah alone.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
Laughters were heard from distance, Moriah felt like as if he was being used like a pawn.
"Bloody Joker, what's your secret?"
Muttered Moriah as he also got up and picked up the Ant devil fruit and the miniature nuclear bomb.
"If it has come to this just to get revenge on Kaido, I can only do the work."

New World___
Sailing were ships in tens, and above them was a not small island that floated.
On the island, a very big house was built that can house thousands of people.
At the end of the room, there was the throne made from sea stones.
Sitting on it was a huge old figure with his left leg crossed on the other one.
"How long until we reach?"
With the old yet still deep and intimidating voice, the figure asked as he looked at the person bowing before him.
"Master, three more days are left!"
Maba answered while bowing. Akuma nodded his head and looked up at the ceiling.
"What was that girl' name again?"
Asked Akuma without looking at Maba, he was thinking about the plan.
"Her name is Jewelry Bonney, master."
The hall was currently empty, only Maba and Akuma were inside.
"And the daughter of LinLin with memory manipulation?"
Akuma couldn't even remember the names, he really is coming towards his end.
"She is Charlotte Pudding."
Replied Maba while taking out a device which rang in his waist.
"Go."
Said Akuma seeing Maba getting busy. He was then left alone in the hall.
Akuma, has reached the point of age where even moving his body is like a burden.
"I have the powers but i am unable to use them because of my age."
Akuma with his black eyes, stared blankly in the ceiling for a while.
The new of Devil's Pirates, sailing towards the Territory of Big Mom was spread.
All the pirates in the path of Devil's Pirates made way for them to pass.
After all, no one in the New World has the strength to face off against Devil's Pirates.
That included the Four Emperors- Big Mom, Kaido, Whitebeard and Shanks.
Unknown to the world, the World Government had sent agents to the wedding to assassinate Akuma in secret.
Will they sucessed or will they be facing the wrath of the 'Devil of the Sea'.
