Grey beard was walking through a grassy plane with a straight face and he stopped at a large tomb that had the face of Captain Rory on it and under his face it said 'in memory of the greatest pathfinder ever'. Grey beard scoffed as he read this. "The greatest huh? Let's see if it was you or that berry." He says as a mischievous smile grew on his face. Grey beard unsheathed one of his swords and raised it over his head as if he were going to destroy the tomb. "Don't you think that's a little much?" A feminine and promiscuous voice says from behind him, causing Grey beard to snap his head around to the person.

There stood Captain Kalan as her Coastal Gaurd jacket blew in the wind. "I didn't think that old man would figure it out that quickly." Grey beard says as he turns his body to Kalan. "It was last minute but let's give Don his credit, now… what were your plans here?" Kalan asks with a grin. "I need Captain Rory's berry but I assume you won't allow that, will you… sky witch?" Grey beard says to her with a straight face. "I really don't care what happens to the damn thing… but I have been given orders." Kalan says with a straight face now.

"So have they." Grey beard says as he looks at Kalan with a smile, causing her eyes to widen slightly. As she looked around she found who he was talking about. Hiding in a nearby tree she saw a man with a top hat and a red camouflage suit on, holding a sniper rifle pointed directly at her. This was Sniper Charles, The gunman of the Grey beard exploration team. Another woman was to the left of her and as she noticed her she began to step out of the tree line. She was an overweight woman holding a large wooden mallet, she wore overalls with a striped shirt, along with a top hat on her head. This was Pig, the vice captain of the Grey beard exploration team. Kalan grinned as the two Pathfinders were revealed. "You should've just kept that a secret… maybe you'd have had a chance to beat me." She says in a promiscuous tone.

Charles waisted no time and fired a bullet directly at Kalan, who turns to look at Charles with a wide smile. Kalan then dodges the bullet and runs at Charles at light speeds and as she gets close to him she reels back a devastating punch. Pig suddenly slams her mallet down in front of her, causing Kalan to jump back with shock. 'She got over here just as fast as I did. This might be more of a problem than I thought.' She thinks to herself. Kalan then composes herself and looks at her two enemies with a straight face. "Tell me… are you two willing to die for your captains goal?" She asks them. Charles and Pig both make confused faces as she asked them this. "Of course we are!" Pig exclaims in a deep voice.

Kalan dashes at both of them, causing them to do the same. 'This is most likely a distraction for Grey beard to get the Mountain berry but that doesn't matter.' Kalan thinks as she closes her eyes and as she approaches Charles and Pig they clash. "Shouldn't you keep your distance?" She says with a wide grin as she snaps her head toward Charles, causing his eyes to widen with surprise. A white cube of light surrounds Kalan's right fist as she reels her fist back for a punch. The impact causes Charles to fly back and land beside Grey beard unconscious. Grey beard looks down at him with a shocked face as he then looked back at Kalan, who was still clashing with Pig.

Pig looked at Kalan with a face of shock as she saw her reeling back the same attack but this time smiling at her. Kalan punched Pig in the gut and a shockwave left her body and her eyes became completely white as she was thrust into the forest beside them, out of sight from the battlefield. Kalan stands straight up as she turns her gaze back to Grey beard but instead of fear,he boasted a wide smile as the tombstone behind him was destroyed. "Sending your lackeys first was rather selfish of you Grey." Kalan says with a straight face. "They did well enough, from here on out… Grey beard will be the king of the sea!" He exclaims with a maniacal smile. Kalan scoffs at him with a smirk on her face.

Trick and Chopper were both clashing their blades with devastating blows but it was evident that Trick had began to get tired and lose his focus. As this happened Chopper opened his hand and then closed it quickly. "Munch berry: Piranha!" Chopper exclaims as three small jaws wrap around trick's body. One around his right forearm, another around his left thigh and another on the left side of his ribcage. The sudden pain causes Trick to stop moving and his face widened with shock. 'I was already falling behind but this is even worse…' Trick thinks to himself as sweat begins to fall down his face. '… why the hell would I risk my life for some kid?' Trick thought to himself as panick starts to set in.

Jonah was putting his silver brass knuckles on as he steps beside Trick. "You look terrible." Jonah says with a slight smirk, causing Trick to look beside him with a confused face. "What are you doing idiot?" Trick asks with a now enraged face. "Relax, I didn't wanna come back and help you but… I was given an order from my captain." Jonah says with a straight face as Trick looked at him directly in his eyes. "That's cute, Brown beard has made some friends." Chopper says in a joking tone as he smiled at them. "WE AREN'T FRIENDS!!" Both of them yell in an offended tone. Chopper began laughing at both of them. "Just wait until they know what you've done Brown beard, do you think they'll accept you then?" Chopper asks with a slight grin, causing Trick's face to sadden a bit
Page 9-
"Hey…" Jonah says in a bland tone causing Trick to look up at him with a surprised face. "… I don't care about any of that crap, if you fight with me then I'll fight with you." Jonah says, now with a calm and soft smile. Trick straightens his face and then stands up completely as if the skeletal jaws biting down on him weren't even there. "Call me what you want Chopper… But my Name is Trick!" He exclaims as he dashes at Chopper with his pirate sword drawn. Chopper widens his face with slight surprise but still managed to block the attack with his machete. Chopper was smiling and he began to say something but before he could, Jonah appeared next to him while reeling back a punch that hits Chopper right in the jaw, sliding him back a few feet.

Chopper wipes the spit from the left corner of his mouth with surprise. ' I know that other guy hasn't eaten a berry yet but why are his attacks hurting me?' Chopper thought to himself with shock. Jonah and Trick stood beside each other as they looked at Chopper. "You're probably wondering why I have so much strength aren't you? Well it's the complete opposite… I'm not strong, I'm just making you a hell of a lot weaker." Jonah says with a smirk, causing Chopper's eyes to widen with complete shock. "Aetherstone!" Chopper says with wide eyes. "How did you even get any of that stuff?" Chopper asks him with a confused face. "A gift from my mentor, did you think I'd really set sail with just some dumb kid?" Jonah says with a smirk. "I can still hear you!" Erick yells from a distance. "I'm officially confused." Trick says with a baffled face.
Page 11-
"Aetherstone is essential for those who can't eat Berries but as of late it's become pretty rare for the common person. The reason for that is because with enough of it… you can completely nullify a berry power." Jonah says with a smirk. "I don't have enough to nullify your berry power but I can weaken the physical strength it gives you." Jonah says with a grin. "I actually didn't expect this from you Jonah." Trick says with a slight smile which causes Jonah to look at him with an offended face. 'I'm so sick of this, I'm far stronger than both of them but two people are hard to keep track of during a fight.' Chopper thought to himself with annoyance.

Choppers face turns from annoyance to joy as a slight grin crept up his face. "You two have done well so far, especially the rookie and as fun as this was… I have orders from my captain I need to accomplish." Chopper says as he gets into a fighting stance with his machete in his hand. Jonah gets into a boxing stance with a smirk and Trick stares at Chopper with a straight face. "You guys look so cool!!!" Erick yells from the place he was resting causing Jonah to turn around with a face of rage. "SHUT THE HELL UP AND HEAL ALREADY!!" Jonah yells back at him. Trick begins to chuckle with a soft smile but as he did this chopper began to dash at both of them. "Idiots." Chopper says with a smirk. "Chopper!" A voice calls to him from his right ear causing him to stop moving entirely.

Chopper looks to his right and sees one of Jester's crows flying beside him. "What the hell do you want? Can't you see I'm busy right now?" Chopper says with an aggravated tone. "Captain Thorne is pulling you from your mission, we have a developing theory about the west sea!" The crow exclaims causing Jonah and Trick's eyes to widen slightly. "So let me dispatch of the boy and then I'll be there!" Chopper says, now starting to get angry. "Do not worry about the boy… Captain Don is currently after him!" The crow exclaims, causing Trick's eyes to widen with complete shock. Chopper grunts out of annoyance as he puts his machete back on his waste. "Fine." He says in a low and begrudging voice.
Page 14-
"Wait a second, you don't think we're gonna let you leave, do you?" Jonah asks with a smirk. Chopper looks at him with a serious face. "Ask your new friend if we should stay around for Don to find this kid." Chopper says as he begins to walk to the tree line and onto the shore. Jonah begins to follow after him but Trick places his arm in front of Jonah. "What the hell are you doing?" Jonah asks in a confused tone. "He's right, all five of us couldn't beat Don together, we should leave before he gets here." Trick says with a serious but genuine face. Jonah stops and then moves Trick's hand. "Wait you said we!!" Erick yells from the place he was resting, causing Jonah and Trick to walk towards him with a slight smile.

"You said we, didn't you?" Erick says with a wide smile. Trick smiles at him. "Well I do have something I need to do first before I could join." Trick says with a straight face. "Cool! What is it, we'll go with you." Erick says as Jonah helps him up onto his feet. "It's not that simple… it's a family matter." Trick says with a solemn face. Jonah puts his hand on Trick's shoulder. "I mean… we kinda owe you one." Jonah says with a smirk, causing Trick to slightly smile back. "So where are we going Vice Captain Trick?" Erick says with a smile, causing Trick's eyes to widen slightly. "Don't you think it's a little early for me to be the Vice Captain?" Trick asks with a slightly confused face. "No. There's only three of us so you're Vice Captain by default." Erick says with a wide smile. "HUHHHH!!!"Trick exclaims with a wide face, filled with shock and disbelief. Erick and Jonah began laughing as Trick did this.

As they all began walking back to the shore they saw Gena still lying in the moss. "Should we do something?" Jonah asks with a straight face. "Nah, worst case scenario Don will get here and throw her in jail for a few months." Trick says with a straight face as well. "Oh yeah and about that, who is this Don guy you're so afraid of?" Jonah asks with a confused face. "Don?" Erick says, completely baffled. "Is this your ship?" Trick says as they approach the Black Pearl, completely ignoring the question. "Hey don't ignore me!!" Jonah says in an aggressive tone. "Calm down, I'll tell you everything on the ship. Is this it or not?" Trick asked. "Yep! The Black Pearl!" Erick says in a proud tone. "It's kinda small isn't it?" Trick asks with a curious face, causing Erick's confidence to completely deflate.
Page 17-
As they step onto the Black Pearl Trick groans as he sits down on the floor. "God that feels good, I haven't been on a boat in years!" Trick says as he spreads out on the floor. "You were on Fruit island for years?" Jonah asks with a confused face. "Oh yeah, I think it's been three maybe but I could be off." He says with a slight smile. "So how'd you get stuck all the way out here?" Erick asks as he sits beside trick and Jonah begins to set the sails. "That's what I wanna tell you guys…" Trick says as he sits up with a straight face. The black Pearl begins to move out into the sea as Jonah comes back over beside them. "My real name is Brown beard…" trick says with a saddened face.
Page 18-
"Wait, do you mean like…" Erick begins but then stops himself. "Yeah… Grey beard is my brother." Trick says, causing Erick and Jonah's face to completely widen with shock. "I was apart of his crew but then I jumped ship and joined Captain Thorne, I did pretty good there and became his vice captain but once he found out what I had did to black beard he left me on fruit island as punishment." Trick says with a straight face. "So I'm still confused about Don?" Jonah says with a confused face. "Captain Don is one of the six captains within the coastal Gaurd and… he's my Father." Trick says causing Jonah and Erick's face to widen far more than before. "I trained every day to be strong enough for a berry and I finally got one…" Trick says as he looks up at the sky.
Page 19-
"And what do you plan to do with it?" Erick says with a smile. "I need to find Grey beard and stop him from getting Captain Rory's berry, he talked about it while I was on his crew and with so much happening right now in the East Sea, I think he'd make a move." Trick says. "So where are we going?" Erick asks with a smirk, causing Trick's eyes to widen slightly but then he smiled. "We may be too late but if he already has the Berry then he'd go to North Estoria to kill our father." Trick replies. Erick stands up and looks at Jonah. "How fast do you think we can get there Jonah?" Erick asks him with a serious face. "Well with no stops I'd say three days, maybe four but if we stop for supplies possibly a week." Jonah says. Erick looks back at Trick. "So?" Erick says as he puts his hand out to Trick, who looks at Erick and then smiles as he grabs his hand and Erick helps him up. "Alright then… Captain Erick." Trick says with a smirk as he stood up completely as all three of them smiled at each other as the Black Pearl sailed the sea.
