" ...WHAT!?"
I recoiled from the sudan shout while covering my ears. 'Damn, does she have a volume of devil fruit?'
"What do you mean he's dead!? He was a warlord candidate! Are you telling me that you killed him!?"
"Yes."
"... How? That man took down three commodores and their fleets at once by himself. How did a newbie fresh out of the academy come out and defeat someone like that?" she asked in utter disbelief.
I decided to have a bit of fun. Was it slightly childish? Yes. Was I gonna do it anyway? Fuck yes. "The answer to that is very simple." I told the woman on the other side of the snail.
"I'm Carter Davil." She waited for a moment for me to continue but she eventually realized that I wasn't going to.
"THAT EXPLAINS NOTHING!"
"No, that explains everything." I said smugly to her annoyance. "Anyways I just thought I should tell you guys about me killing him. I don't need any more assistance."
She sighed deeply "Fine, thank you for the information. Goodbye cadet." She then hung up.
I chuckled and called Justice back to me. I then resumed my course on the map while meditating with the shard some more.
It was honestly quite peaceful. When we had finally reached our destination I was honestly shocked. There was a massive island, it seemed familiar to me but I couldn't quite place where I had seen it before.
I looked back at the treasure map and to my surprise it had shifted from a sea chart to a map of the island. 'Well, that solves that problem.'
'Dive down to those ruins girl.' I gave Justice the command and she followed. We kept out of sight of the islanders because there was a high chance that I would be stealing a sacred artifact or something similar.
Landing on the ruin which is now recognised as a tomb the map once again changed to a red arrow pointing straight at the sarcophagus. "Well I wasn't planning on becoming a grave robber just yet but I suppose this will be beneficial.
I slowly walked over to the coffin and used my observation haki to check for traps. There were no traps but I was a bit shocked to sense the malignant aura emanating from the stone burial place.
'This seems more and more familiar the more I see.' I thought, trying to search my mind for the memory. Unfortunately it did not work.
So what did I do? What anyone who had a magic treasure map pointing to the very obviously cursed tomb. I opened the damn thing. It took no effort to lift the stone slab. I took another peak at my constitution and realized it had increased onece again.
'From 23 to 28 in just a few hours? Man, sage body really is amazing isn't it? Guess I don't need to allocate points to increase my constitution now huh?'
Shrugging off my ever increasing strength I dropped the lid and peered into the sarcophagus and what I was finally triggered the memory.
"So that's where I know this place from eh?" I said reaching into the coffin. I felt a dark presence trying to invade my mind the moment I grasped what I wanted. "Introduced in the fith movie..."
I bullied the object from the tomb revealing the world's most beautiful blade. "Accursed seven star sword: Shichiseiken!"
The cursed sword's malicious aura crawled down the blade until it met my hand. That was when I realized this sword was cursed much differently than my Akuma-Ketsujin.
'Worthy wielder... I am Shichiseiken... Give me... your mind... and you... will know strength... Like you have never imagined.' a dark whisper of a voice called in my head.
I had to give the sword credit. It had a decently powerful manipulation skill, if I hadn't known the plot of the movie it was introduced in or had the haki that I did, I would have fallen under its spell.
"Thanks but no thanks. I've met cursed swords before and while you are definitely more powerful than Akuma-Ketsujin's curse, it's still nothing compared to me." I released a small bit of conqueror's haki and I could feel the spirit within the sword tremble.
'A truly... worthy... wielder.' The sword seemed to now be trembling in excitement rather than its earlier fear. 'Master... I am... yours to... wield.' the spirit submitted to me.
I smirked as I felt the sword give itself to me. 'Now to find you a scabbard.' it didn't have one. Seriously, who buries a sword with someone and doesn't give it a scabbard!?
I looked again into the coffin and found no scabbard. "Were you never given a sheath?" I asked the sword.
'First... master... said that... the only... sheath I needed... were the bodies... of their enemies'
"Well that is stupid." After thinking for a bit my eyes landed back on the skeletal corpse. "This was your previous master right?"
'Indeed...'
"Well then they will now learn how useful a scabbard is for a sword."
I reached out and grasped the skeletal form of the forgotten swordsman. "Rearrange!"
Rearrange. My newest move. A combination of decombine and combine. Literally just rearranging the molecules into a better shape.
The brittle and withered skeleton was completely remodeled into a pure white sheath. I slid Shichiseiken into the sheath and strapped it to my back. Then the treasure map turned to sand which was really annoying because it was in my pocket at the time.
I placed the stone slab back on the tomb so as to not arouse suspicion and left.
A few hours later everything was going great. I brought the dive back out so that Justice could rest her wings for a while, and Al and I were playing cards.
"Any fives?"
"How do you keep doing that!?" I shouted as I handed over my three fives.
"I'm literally in your head carter-boy."
'Can't believe I keep forgetting that.' I groaned internally.
I was saved from the embarrassment that would no doubt follow this game when the system piped up.
[New task available:
-Bitter candy
You are close to the ship of marine traitor: Gasparade. Take out the gasparade pirates and claim the spoils.

'Gasparade? I think I remember him.' I said as I flipped through the bounty book. 'Here he is.'
-Gasparade pirates

'Definitely a good score. 152 bounty points and some new treasure.' I thought as I accepted the task.
After accepting the task a compass appeared in my hand labeled "The Salamander" so I had Dive travel in the direction it pointed.
A few hours later and the ship was in my sight. And let me say it was marvelous! The easily recognizable marine ship base structure, with the massive golden dragon figurehead, the back of the ship had been heavily modified to use coal and steam power for an engine instead of the normal sail and rows.
"I'm claiming that ship as mine after I'm done."
Then I tapped Dive's shell a few times to signal her to stop. It was night and we were far enough away that they couldn't see us.
I took Shichiseiken and Kubikiribocho off my back and gestured to the salamander. "Dive, use Ice beam in the sea to keep them in place!"
Dive did not hesitate for a second.
"LA-"
Pale blue light and mist built up around her mouth.
"-PRAS!"
A beam of icy blue energy fired straight at the ship. When it impacted the sea around the salamander froze solid.
"Justice, let's go."
—Third POV—
The panicking pirates on deck were met with no mercy from justice and carter. These guys were mostly scum that wanted to do whatever sick things came to their minds under a stronger pirate, and thus were nothing but a disease on this world in carter's eyes.
When they were done, 35 of the crew members were dead on deck. Justice's three tails were stained with blood and she had burned and electrified many of the pirates. Carter's two blood enhanced blades, Kubikiribocho and Shichiseiken, both dripping red rested in his grasp.
As the remaining pirates finally came up to the deck, Carter put the two massive swords away.
"So you're The traitor Gasparde Huh?" he asked as he approached the small remaining group of pirates. "That logia fruit of your's must be the reason you have such a high bounty, you dont look like much." Carter taunted.
Gasparade however seemed to chuckle. "You wear the marine emblem but no indication or rank. Let me guess you're a cocky brat that's fresh out of the academy?"
"Yeah, I left marineford two days ago. I've already got almost seven hundred bounty points though." he said as his sharingan spun to life. "You and your right hand man's heads will push past that milestone.
Gasparde hesitated for a moment before he began to approach me. "Seven hundred berries worth of pirates? Don't make me laugh!" he sneered.
Gasparde morphed his hands into green syrup and pointed them in Carter's direction. "Ten sweet bullets!" he shouted as his fingertips hardened and fired towards carter.
To Carter's sharingan the candy bullets may as well have been moving in slow motion so he just smirked and raised his right hand. "Devil's gluttony." Alikred's shadowy form burst from the ring on his middle finger to swallow up the attack.
"Hmm, not a bad taste. Though I don't believe you will enjoy it, Carter-boy."
'That we can agree on Al.' Carter though. Turning his attention back to the pirates that were now quaking in their boots at the sight of the shadowy demon. 'May as well finish this quickly.'Alikred retreated into the ring and Carter began forming hand seals.
"What the hell are you kid?" Gasparde narrowed his eyes while sweating a bit from nervousness.
Carter chuckled. " Just the man who will one day kill the true ruler of this world. But then again you will all be dead by then so it won't matter to you." he said finishing his hand signs.
"Wood release: impaling spear!"
To the pirate's horror the wooden deck they stood on morphed into long jagged spikes and sprang up, impaling them all in vital areas. Gasparade survived of course. Logia fruits were just convenient like that.
"Damn brat! I'll kill you!" the candy fruit user shouted as he charged straight at Carter. That was until he felt a searing pain in his chest. Gsaparade locked down in horror to see this entire body bound in haki coated wood with a living tree sprouting from where his heart should be.
Carter approached him and shattered right into his eye with his sharingan spinning slowly, only adding to the fear Gasparde felt as his life slipped away.
"Don't feel too bad 'General' the moment you saw my eye this fight was over." Carter said as he felt the vision in his left eye improve a bit.
'Hmm? Looks like lefty is a two tomoe now, neat.' he thought as he watched the traitor's life slowly fade from his eyes.
"D-demon..." were Gasparde's last words as the tree sprung from his heart spawned a bright green teardrop shaped fruit covered in swirls. Carter picked the fruit and used a wood release to fix the deck.
Then he took his bounties heads and smiled as the system window popped up
[Notice: task completed.
Rewards granted: 1.5 free attribute points, 100 shop points]
Carter smiled and made a call to headquarters.
"Puru puru puru, Puru puru puru, kachak"
"No. I don't even want to hear it. Just tell me who you killed and hang up." the poot operator said, clearly done with carter's bullshit.
"Killed the traitor Gasparde and his crew, I'm claiming his ship. Bye." carter said with a snicker asn hung up.
By this time Dive had managed to get to the ship which Carter then stored in his inventory and he and Justice got back on Dive to continue the journey.
