Chopper and Gena both looked at the cloud of smoke where Erick was standing. Trick falls to the ground, landing on one knee. 'Damn, this blood loss is seriously annoying. I won't die but I can't fight Chopper like this." Trick thinks to himself with a worried look. 'Guess it's all on you Kid.' Trick says as he sits down on his butt and breathes out softly. Jonah looked over at Erick with a smirk. "Perfect timing Erick." Jonah says as he sit down with a smile. "What the hell is that?" Gena asks with a face of worry. "That's my Captain."Jonah says with a smirk. "Shut the hell up!" Gena exclaims as she snaps her glance back to Erick. 'Do not be hasty and approach that boy.' Gena remembers Captain Neoma saying those words to her. 'Screw that! I'm your vice captain… I can handle a rookie.' Gena thinks to herself as she summons more swords behind her.

Chopper was looking at the cloud of smoke with wide eyes. 'What is this? How can a rookie be so strong?' Chopper thinks to himself with worry. 'I don't know but it's getting me riled up.' He remembered Captain Thorne say to him. 'Were you serious about that Thorne?' Chopper thinks to himself with confusion. "Hey…" chopper hears Trick say from the ground, causing him to turn his head to Trick. "I'll be honest, I don't know that kid or what he's about to do but I can tell… it's gonna hurt." Trick says with a smile and just as he does a childish laugh comes from the cloud of steam once again. Chopper and Gena both look in fear as the smoke clears and they see Erick, smiling widely, with his hair flowing wildly in all directions.

As the smoke completely clears Erick began to chuckle uncontrollably while holding his stomach. "Screw this!" Gena yells as she swipes her hand at Erick, causing all of her swords to fly at him with blazing speed but as they reached Erick, he stared at them with a curious face and the impact caused a massive cloud of dust to appear. Gena's face relaxed a bit. "Now it's your turn." She says with a grin as she turns to Jonah. "Nah, my captain isn't done yet." Jonah says with a smile as he points behind her. Gena snaps her head around with fear but before she could, she received a palm strike to her jaw from Erick, sending her flying and landing where Trick and Chopper were fighting.

Gena gets up and dusts her clothes off. "He's definitely a captain." Gena says with a straight face. "You thinking what I'm thinking?" Chopper says with a smirk. "Just this once… we'll team up." She says with a grin as she summons more swords behind her. "You two really think you can beat that thing? Be honest with yourselves." Chopper says with a chuckle. "You just sit back and watch your captain die." Chopper says as he and Gena blitz Erick. "Wait, what? HE'S NOT MY CAPTAIN DUMBASS!!" Trick yells with frustration as they took off. Erick chuckles before he dashes at them and as the three of them clash, shockwaves blew some of the trees next to them down.

"SO IS THIS YOUR ENKAI ERICK?!?!!" Chopper yells as sparks are flying from Gena and his blade. Gena made a face of confusion as Chopper said this but as she turned to chopper, Erick smiled widely as he sucked in a large portion of the air, causing his chest to puff out massively. Erick then blew the air out of his mouth and as he did this a large stream of air blew Gena backwards and into the ground. Erick then pushes Chopper back slightly and then begins to look at his own hands with curiosity. "That clown technique won't help you here rookie." Chopper says as he points his palm at Erick and then closes it quickly. "Munch berry: Bear!" Chopper exclaims as a large skeletal jaw of a bear engulfed Erick's body, causing Erick to look around in curiosity as the mouth closed.

Chopper stood there with a smirk but his eyes soon widened as he saw Erick, with his hair still flowing wildly, on top of the skeletal bear jaws and poking at the teeth baffled by them. "For a vice captain… these are pretty strong!" Erick says in a childish and giggly voice. "What did you say to me rookie?" Chopper says with an enraged face. Erick looks at him with a cunning smirk as he began to chuckle. Erick began to chuckle so much that his stomach began to hurt, causing him to hold it while still chuckling. "YOU DAMN BRAT!!!" Chopper yells as he draws his machete and blitzes Erick with blinding speed. "YOU THINK BEING A PATHFINDER IS EASY? I'LL SHOW YOU HOW HARD IT IS!!!!" Chopper yells but his face, that was filled with rage, began to sink with fear and regret.

As chopper got a few feet from Erick he saw that Erick wasn't laughing anymore and had turned his head to him slowly with a wide grin on his face. "Isn't it obvious…?" Erick said as Chopper could feel a crushing pressure onto his body. 'What the hell is going on!?' Chopper thought to himself with sheer panic. Erick began giggling again. "… you're weaker than me." Erick says with a wide and mischievous smile. 'This power is… Terrifying!' Chopper thinks to himself but as he thought this a sword flew past him and at Erick who dodged it and then smirked at Gena who was running toward them. "Cover me Chopper." Gena says as she sprints past Chopper with a katana in her hand. "Shut up." Chopper says in an annoyed tone as he points his palm at Erick.

Trick walks over and sits down beside Jonah. "Is he gonna be alright?" Trick asks with a confused face. "I don't know." Jonah says with a smirk. "Whatttt?!?!!?" Trick exclaims with a face of confusion and distress. "It's insane right? I've kinda learned to just… trust him." Jonah says as he lays back on the moss of the island. 'He trust his captain so much. Is it stupidity or is this kid the real deal?' Trick thinks to himself as he looks at the fight between Erick, Chopper, and Gena. Gena slashes at Erick three times but Erick dodges all of them and then punches her in the gut, causing sparks of black and white lightning to disperse from the impact. Erick began to load up another punch but his eyes widen slightly as he hears Chopper yell something. "Munch berry: Piranha!" Chopper yells as he opens and closes his hand towards Erick.

Erick saw a small skeletal jaw wrap around his arm, causing his eyes to widen with curiosity but the jaw closed and Erick reeled back in pain. Just as he did this he felt the same pain on his other arm and his left rib cage and when he looked at what could be causing the pain, Erick saw two more skeletal jaws biting down on his skin. "Gena go!" Chopper yells as he kept his closed fist pointed at Erick, who was still standing in pain as Gena ran past chopper with her katana in her hand. "Yeah." She says as she jumps into the air. Erick looked up and saw that Gena was now standing on the katana and floating in the air as if it were a surfboard. "You've really pissed me off rookie." Gena says with a smirk. Erick's eyes widen as she said this, still in pain from the continuous hold Chopper had on him.

Gena puts her arm up toward the sky with her palm open. "Stash berry: Excalibur's Slash!" Gena yelled with a smile on her face. 'This is perfect! I can take out this rookie and Thornes vice captain, Big sis will be so proud!' Gena thinks to herself with a smile. Erick and chopper both looked up and saw the sky above Gena begin to bend downward, causing both of them to look completely baffled. Whatever was bending the sky finally broke through to reveal a massive knights sword, roughly the size of a small building. Gena then giggles as she waves her hand down toward the ground, causing the massive Sword to begin falling to the ground where Chopper and Erick were standing. "Men are so dumb." Gena says with a straight face as the sword fell closer to the ground.

"Do you have any fancy tricks for this?" Chopper asks in a sarcastic tone. Erick smirks at him. "Get these jaws off of me and maybe." Erick says, causing Chopper to open his palm and the skeletal jaws biting down on Erick's body disappeared. Erick looked over and saw Jonah who bore a slight smile and as Erick looked at him, Jonah nodded at him. Erick smiled widely as he turned his attention back to the massive Sword and as he closed his eyes he could see it faintly. The berry that the Mother tree was holding, he could see it inside himself, faintly. Erick breathed out softly as he began to concentrate on the berry. Erick began to squat down with his elbows bent and at his hip and his fist were closed.
Page 12-
Ericks hair fell back to its original state and he sees the berry once again but this time it was clear, he could completely see the berry and along with that he could sense the berries power, as if it were telling him itself. Erick snapped his eyes open and his fist began to burn brightly, just like Kekela's Bash berry power but the heat began to harden and form a metal like substance around both of Erick's fists. Erick sees the berry once again as wind begins to circle around his feet rapidly. Chopper looked at Erick with a wide face as the wind began to blow into him, causing him to struggle just to stand. 'Is this all from using Enkai? No, I can tell… he's eaten a berry already!' Chopper thinks to himself with shock.

Gena saw what was happening below her and a pellet of sweat began to run down her forehead. 'I can tell he's already eaten a berry but I don't know which one yet. Even if I die here… Captain Neoma wanted that information so I must get it!' Gina thinks to herself as she composes her self again, pushing the sword down with greater force. "YOU THINK THAT MATTERS TO ME? YOU'LL DIE STANDING THERE YOU IDIOT!!" Gena yells as she pushes her entire palm down towards Erick, causing the large sword to speed up. Erick smirked as he saw the berry one more time. It was the shape of an orange but it was golden and the stem of the fruit was bright red and as he saw this Erick smiled. "I get it now." Erick says with a smile.

Mega berries are berries from Fruit island that the Government of Estoria have deemed 'limitless in potential' once the user awakens the berry. Currently there are only twelve Mega Berries known to man and Captain Erick Drake had received one of them. Erick looked at the sword as it was about one mile from the ground. The wind swirling around Erick's feet disappeared as he launched himself from the ground. With a red sparkle in his eye Erick began to smile widely as he propelled himself toward the sword. Gena reeled back in shock as he did this and as she saw him smiling her face soon sunk with fear.

Erick had the Enhance Berry, giving him only one technique… the ability to enhance anything he possesses. Erick tore through the sky at blitzing speeds as he went towards the massive sword with the metal still on his fist. 'Jonah is down there and he's counting on me to get us out of this, we met less than a week ago and he already trust me so much…' Erick thinks to himself as he snaps his gaze directly at Gena. "… SO I CANT FAIL… NOT UNTIL I FIND THE NORTH STAR!!!" Erick yells as he was about fifty feet from Gena's sword.

Trick loooked at Jonah, who was staring at Erick with a confident smile. "That's right Captain… i believe in you." Jonah says with a smirk causing Tricks eyes to slightly widen with shock but then he began to chuckle slightly as he held his forehead. Jonah turned to him with a face of confusion. "You mocking me or something!?" Jonah exclaims with a bit of annoyance. Trick stops laughing and then he looks at Erick with the same confidence that Jonah just displayed. "Of course not. That kid is just… so cool." Trick says with a smile as Erick and the massive sword clash, causing massive gusts of wind to blow throughout the island.

Don was standing at the edge of his ship reading a book when he suddenly looked up at the sea. "Is something wrong Captain?" Himá says from beside him. Don chuckles slightly and then begins to burst out in laughter. "Sir… are you alright?" Himá asks with worry as the other crew members turn to look at him with confusion. "I'm better than alright… I'M ECSTATIC!!!" Don yells out with a wide smile. "May I ask why sir?" Himá says with a straight face. "Today is a celebratory day Himá… A true Captain has just been born." Don says with a wide smile as he looked out to sea.
