Izuku stood dumbfounded as he stared at Hawkins, wondering how he should respond to the man's request. Normally one wouldn't think twice about accepting the request of someone so powerful but if there's one thing Izuku learned from all the memories of previous devil fruit users and growing in the battle tower he's learned to trust people so blindly. Izuku turned his head to Nami who was frantically shaking her head no before turning back to the man who was waiting patiently for an answer.

"Why?" Izuku finally said, choosing to use the blond man's reason to decide. In response the man took out a deck of cards. "Fate instructed me. I want to find my destiny." Basil explained getting a confused look from Nami. "And you think you'll find it traveling with us?" She questioned getting a nod the the lanky man. "Indeed, though there is another reason why I want to travel with you." Basil revealed. "Believe it or not I am a fortune teller and I use these cards to help with my predictions." Hawkins explained placing the cards in the air only for them to be held in the air by strands appearing out of them air creeping Nami out a bit.

"U-Uhm what are those?" She questioned while pointing at the strands causing Basil to look up at them before turning to her. "They are straw, I ate the Straw-Straw Fruit and became a straw man." Hawkins explained briefly before turning back to his cards. "Like I said I use these cards to see what fate has in store so I can prepare accordingly. Which leads us to me coming here.

A few months ago I was planning on heading out as the captaIn of my own crew. Fate had given me a high percentage of success so It seemed logical to what I should do." He explained before looking up at Izuku. "That is until something strange happened." He said getting confused looks from the pair and the clones. "What happened?" Nami couldn't help but ask. "I couldn't get a proper reading." He revealed. "Ever since I started this path I have always been able to get readings to determine chance of success or failure. Except for this one time. I couldn't understand what happen the day I was supposed to set out to sea I did one last reading to make sure everything was as it should be." He said before shaking his head." "nothing, no matter what I did I could get any consistent reading. I always jumping back and forth. I canceled my plans to look into this only for this to continue for several months. It was absolutely maddening." Hawkins said though the way he kept his voice monotone you'd have a hard time believing it.

"And then one day a few weeks ago I got my first proper reading since this began. It said if I truly wanted to find my destiny I would need to head east and find those who would heap me find it." Basil finished hist tale as Nami looked at Hawkins a little skeptical. "And you think Izuku is the one to do that?" She asked her tone filled with more than a little suspicion. Hawkins nodded as he looked at the navigator. "I do." He said simply before turning back to Izuku. "I ask again, may I please join your crew?" he requested to Izuku who after a few moments nodded causing the magician to bow his head "Thank you."

"No problem now we need to get moving, the marines will be here in minute." Izuku instructed taking all the stolen goods inside his body using the Castle-Castle Fruit as he and his now to cremates left the area and before long the island.

Line break.

It had been a few days since the assault on the 16th branch and Hawkins joined the crew. Hawkins himself had fit in rather well to the crew having made himself at home in the men's cabin which Nami was thankful for was on the opposite side of the women's cabin. Izuku offered her the captain's room, but she turned it down stating that since Izuku was captain he should get it. Besides she just knew that when, not if but when they gained another female on the crew, they would just be constantly fighting over it.

Right now Hawkins and Nami were playing cards on the deck of the ship while Izuku was in the kitchen preparing lunch, having taken up the job of cook until the could find a proper chief. Back with Nami and Hawkins Nami was getting frustrated. Out of the 10 hands they've played she's only won 2 out of 10 of them, She hadn't had a losing streak this bad in years, the only silver lining being they weren't betting anything. 'Luckily that's about to change.' She thought while mentally smirking. "Pair of Kings!" Nami said lying down her cards before crossing her arms triumphantly. "Aces." Hawkins says simply laying down his cards on the table only for them to scatter as the navigator slammed her hand down on the table in frustration. "SON OF A-!"

BOOM

BOOM

BOOM

Explosions from the water instantly rocked the boat causing Nami and Hawkins to hold on to avoid falling. "What the hell is going on out here?" Izuku demanded as he ran from the kitchen. "No Idea! We were just setting her and suddenly the explosions started!" Nami screamed over the explosions. "I believe I have found the source." Hawkins said as calm as ever something Nami noticed. "How the hell can you be so calm about all this!?" She demanded looking ready to deck the fortune teller who didn't even blink. "Because I do not see the shadow of death over any one of us today." He answered calmly and Nami surprisingly calmed down having learned to trust the blond haired man when it came to this time of thing.

"Still though we need to be cautious this could get tricky." Izuku said as he and his crew looked at the source. The first noticeable thing was the fact there was an actual Plesiosaur. It was actually quite similar to it's counterpart from Izuku's world with a humped body, four flippers, and a long flexible neck; it's jaw alone looked large enough to swallow a human being whole. The most eye-catching thing about the beast however was the fact that it wore a plated Kabuto helmet embezzled with a Jolly Roger that resembled a crew.

how ever the thing that truly caught the groups attention was what the beast was pulling. The thing was a massive, complex war ship with the most eye-catching thing was the giant cannon with what looked like three golden dragons wrapped around the top of it. The sails were adorned with the same Jolly Roger that was one the plesiosaur's helmet. Izuku stared at the jolly roger in confusion, he knew he had seen it before from a memories he just couldn't place it.

"Well what do we have here? It would seem some pound scum has gotten it's self in our way." a voice called from the ship as a figure came into view. It was a normal sized-man who was wearing what looked like crab-like armor on his back. The armor was attached with shoulder gauntlets with large crab claws. He was also wearing a red shirt, blue pants and a blue cape. He had purple hair tied into a pony tail and a purple beard.He had a red ring around each of his eyes and an x shaped scar on his left temple. He also wears a black pirate hat with the same jolly roger on it.

'Damn it, I still cant place him.' Izuku thought with narrowed eyes sure he had seen the man in someone's memories before. Nami and Hawkins both shared confused looks, well confused for Hawkins anyway. "Ah who are you?" Nami asked confused her fear complete gone at seeing the generic pirate captain in front of her. The pirate captain's face meanwhile reddened in both anger and embarrassment. "Are you telling me you lowlife's have never heard of the Pirate Shogan Ganzack?!" The now named Ganzack roared at them as Izuku snapped his fingers.

'Oh yeah he was the crab guy Luffy beat up when he was just starting out.' Izuku remembered before narrowing his eyes in confusion. 'But wait, does that mean he already destroyed the island were it was made?' Izuku questioned before speaking up. "Hey Gaznack, where did you get that ship?" Izuku shouted causing the purple haired pirate to scowl at the lack of respect before grinning smugly. "Jealous? Of course you are who wouldn't be of a master piece like this? Well when you have as deep connections in the black market as I do things like this are easy to get." He boasted while Izuku noted the new change.

Gaznack then stopped laughing before grinning murderously down at the trio. "Now then on to business." He announced his crew appearing behind him as Hawkins drew his sword and Nami her bow staff. "Now then men kill the 2 men down there and bring me the woman!" Im sure we can get a good price for her!" Gaznack ordered as his men shouted and were ready to charge with the plesiosaur barreling down at them.

SHINCK

Only for it to soon be with out it's head which fell into the depths of the ocean with the neck failing down into the water blood pouring out of the wound and coloring the ocean red. Gazneck and his crew stared shock, their eyes bugging out of their heads at what they just saw as Hawkins calmly flung the blood off his sword while Izuku grinned. "Good work Hawkins, now you and Nami stay back defend the ship. I'll be back soon!" He told them getting nods from the pair before he jumped high into the air and slamming down on to the deck of the ship before being surrounded by Gaznack and his men who were shaking with rage.

"You bastard who do you think you are?!" one of the goons shouted as he rushed forward  trying to cut him down only for Izuku to slam his fist into the  the pirate's cheek sending him flying off the into ocean. The rest of the Gaznack's crew looked scared now seeing the strength Izuku had and even Gaznack looked somewhat nervous before steeling himself. "What are you fools waiting for?! They are only 3 people, forget about leaving the woman just kill them all already! They can't beat all of us!?"

A couple minutes later however Gaznack wasn't so sure. Most of his crew were either knocked out or had tried to swim away as he stared at the uncurious or groaning remains of his crew while the trio had all boarded his ship with Izuku regrouping with his crew. "You guys okay?" He asked getting nods from Nami and Hawkins. "Yeah, after Hawkins took care of the plesiosaur the rest were nothing but common thugs." She revealed with Hawkins nodding in agreement. The men that had boarded their ship were down within seconds. He didn't even have time to make any of his dolls.

By the point Gazneck was complete red while shaking with rage. "YOU Worthless Maggots!" The purple haired man roared activating his crab armor revealing blades and guns pointed at the group. "All my hard work and you think you can just calm and ruin it all?! Not on your life! Now prepare your-ARCK!"  He was cut off by Izuku who fired off a Storm Leg and hit him dead center in the chest causing him to fall to the ground unconscious as blood gushed from the wound.

Seeing him down and not getting up anytime so Izuku turned to his crew. "So who want's to raid the place?" Instantly Nami's eyes turned to Belli sighs. "Now you're taking!" She ran off with Izuku and Hawkins behind her confident she would be getting her hands on a tons of treasure by the end of the day.

Line break.

"How long do you think she will be like this?" Izuku said as he and Hawkins watched Nami sulk in the corner of the ship depressed. Turns out the ship was completely devoid of any kind of treasure and she was now in a bit of a funk. "There is a 90% percent change our navigator will stop her sulking within 2 minutes?" Hawkins read confused on how such a thing was possible. Hearing this Izuku raised an eyebrow but before he could he question it something in the corner of his eyes caught his attention. Something was rapidly approaching their ship. As it neared the ship Izuku was able to make out that it was a small row boat with what looked like 3 men rowing as fast as they can.

However the 2 men had no times to question what they were running away from as they passed Izuku's ship in an instant leaving the pair confused. "Hey." Nami said suddenly getting up with a confused expression. "Does anyone else smell smoke?" She asked getting Izuku and Hawkins to sniff the air and sure enough the smell of sulfur was there. "Im going to take a look from above." He told them raising up in the air getting a raised eyebrow from Hawkins. He knew his captain could use multiple devil fruits even his own, but he wasn't told how yet. He wasn't angry though since the cards told him there was a 100% percent chance that he would find out eventually.

'The question is when.' He asked himself before going back to his cards and raising his eyebrow at what he saw. Nami meanwhile looked on concerned and it only got worse when  she saw Izuku come back down with a troubled expression. "Well Izuku?" She asked hesitantly as Izuku sighed and pointed towards the direction the other boat was coming from. "There's an entire island on fire about 10 miles that way." He told her causing her to eek in fear. "Then I say we steer will clear of it. It's to much for us at the moment." Nami said though a part of her knew it was mostly her that wasn't ready.

"Actually I think it would us well to go towards that island." Hawkins advised standing up and walking towards the pair with Nami quick to question this. "And why would we do that?!" She partially screamed at the blond man. "Because there is a 77% chance that we will recruit new crew members if we do." Hawkins said calmly. This surprised both Izuku and Nami. "Well that's good enough for me." Izuku said wondering just who it could be while Nami slumped in defeat.

"Fine." She whined as Izuku headed for the wheel. "But if it's to dangerous, we leave immediately, got It?!" She questioned though she doubted Izuku heard her. She was about to leave when she felt Hawkins' hand on her shoulder and she was surprised to see understanding in his eyes when she turned. "Despite what you may believe both me and Izuku know what you're feeling. That you can't keep up with us, that your slowing us down in battle, and that you cant fight on your own when it comes to stronger opponents" Hawkins revealed as Nami looked down depressed.

Truth be told she had felt like that. Years of stealing and running has not helped her fighting ablates that much. True she could easily hold her own against the common east blue thug, but she knew that wasn't going to cut it. Izuku intended to head for the Grand Line, a place where a single person could wipe out an entire crew from the any of the 4 blues was common." She knew right now she didn't have a place among those monsters and she desperately wanted to change that.

As if reading her mind Hawkins spoke up again. "Fear not, Fate has declared you will get stronger though I do not know how. So hold your head high, you already stand shoulder to shoulder with the captain and myself and soon you'll be fighting shoulder to shoulder with us too." With that he walked away and Nami stared at him stunned for a moment before wiping her eyes with a small smile before running to join her crew.

Line break.

At last they had arrived and as they looked around they were surprised by the damage and wreckage or rather the lack there of." True the forest was on fire but that's there was. No screaming, no smell of blood, nothing, In fact the only other noticeable thing was a small traveling ship docked there. "Well Izuku how's it looking?" She asked having been told the basics of Haki along with Hawkins. "There are 2 people a little ways up the beach." Izuku Said getting nods from both Hawkins and Nami with the navigator happy they wont have to fight an entire pirate crew again.

That is until she heard what Izuku said next.

"Though they are much stronger, then the marines, Gaznack, and even Arlong. Honestly I'd say they were on Hawkins level." Izuku told them causing Nami to let out a tiny squeak of fear while Hawkins gained an interested look on his face. Suddenly Nami put on the best winning smile she could though it was clearly forced and she had beads of sweat on her face. "Hey guys, you know what why don't we just leave? I mean if there as strong as Hawkins then it'll be hard to believe they would want to join someone else. In fact they probably already killed the guys could have  possibly recruited. Right Hawkins?" She asked hoping she was right as Hawkins looked at his cards again.

"The chance that we will recruit these 2 is 80%."

'IT WENT UP!' Nami screamed in her mind wondering how that was possible not noticing Izuku smirk before picking her up bridal style and told Hawkins to grab his shoulder which the man did and soon lifted the three of them up in the air and on to the island with the Float-Float Fruit. When they landed Nami' seemed to snap out of her funk and with a huge blush on her face scrambled out of his arms and on to the beach squeaking out a "thank you." before quickly to stand behind Hawkins.

Seeing how his crew seemed to be ready Izuku started walking towards the 2 energies he felt, his Haki on full alert to make sure they didn't go anywhere. They were just about to turn the corner where the two were when Nami suddenly tripped on something and started to fall though Hawkins caught her before she could truly fall. "Are you alright?" He asked getting a nod and thank you from the navigator before curiosity got the better and wondered what she had tripped on. Though once she cleared away the sand she couldn't hold in a scream of surprise.

It was a man or at least the remains of one. He was a dark skinned, red haired man that resembled a lion. He had broken shoulder pads made of gold, a torn white shirt and and broken golden claws that had covered his normal ones. His injuries were incredibly severe. IT looks like he had bathed in blood mixing together with sand and coercing his body. Giant holes like he had been impailed multiple timed covered his body. His libs twisted in several ways.

Nami sat there frozen not even trying to take the gold off afraid to get any of the blood on her. Basil and Izuku just stared at the body. Izuku knew who this was. This was El Drago, a man who had eaten the Scream-Scream fruit, he was a rather unremarkable pirate who was obsessed with gold who had fought and beaten by Luffy. 'So the question is who killed him?' Izuku asked himself. The answer presented itself as the 2 who he had been sensing made themselves known.

"Well looks like someone's found our handy work, Look the woman's so impressed she's speechless." A voice Izuku knew all to well laughed while a sigh came from his companion. "Honestly it's one thing to kill some one it's another to make jokes like that." A calm voice spoke though it sounded muffled and that's when the crew saw the 2 murderers.

'Eustass "Captain Kid and "Massacre Solider" Killer, what the hell are they doing in the east blue?' He questioned before narrowing his eyes at them 'And why the hell is their a possibility I can recruit them?' Don't get him wrong Izuku would diffidently take the two into his crew, both for their abilities and to keep them from causing trouble. The problem was that he knew how independent Kid was and knew he would never bend the knee to anyone, evident by with what happened with Kaido. Izuku's eyes widened as he remembered how a certain other crew of powerful and independent pirates was formed. That could diffidently work, all he needed to was get him to agree. Izuku really didn't need to come up with a plan for Killer if he got Kid, Killer would naturally follow.

Nami meanwhile had snapped out of her state of shock and glared at at the red haired man. "How could you do this to someone, and then laugh about it?!" She demanded of him not able to understand how he could laugh about this it also didn't help the fact that she saw an overlap of Arlong laughing about her mother's death over him." What she didn't expect was for Kid to suddenly scowl. "Of course I'm laughing you bitch! Why wouldn't I? After this bastard killed my crew and severed my arm to steal a stupid treasure map, and I chased him from the south blue, of course I would laugh after getting my revenge! Wouldn't you?!" He snarled at her with Nami going wide eyed at hearing this.

The want and need for revenge, that was something Nami could understand quite well. She knew what it felt like to want to absolutely kill someone. How many times did she try to kill Arlong only for it to end in miserable failure and for the fish-men to laugh as she got the crap beaten out of her as a punishment. Nami also knew that she would probably do the same if she had managed to kill Arlong.

Seeing this Kid managed to calm himself down. Normally he would have just killed the lot of them and be done with it, but he recognized the look on her face and knew she had experienced something similar. Kid scowled at as he looked down at the corpse of the gold loving pirate with a growl. It wasn't just the fact that the bastard had killed everyone bar him and killer it was also in the manner he did it. It was just after a hard fought battle with another pirate crew. They were tired, wounded and in no shape to continue fighting.

That's when El Drago appeared launching one of those damn voice blast destroying most of the ship and killing most of the crew instantly or quickly drowning as they fell into the ocean. The only reason Kid was able to survive was because Killer had managed to pull him on to a piece of wreckage but the explosion had blown his arm clear off. He watched with a burning hatred as the man sent in his three lackeys to retrieve what ever it was he was looking for.

Turns out all they were after was one fucking map that was suppose to lead to a treasure in the east blue, What it was doing in the south blue Eustass didn't know but at the moment he was to mad to care. The last thing he heard was the laughter from the bastard before passing out.When he came to he was an a an abounded sea cave with Killer treating his wounds the best he could with his entire left side bandaged up . He was momentarily confused before the memories started coming back with them his rage. Telling Killer that as soon as he could walk they would be hunting the bastard down.

Killer was in complete agreement.

4 days later and with his new metal arm Kid was ready so they went into town took down everyone who tried to stop them and stole a ship the 2 of them were able to man on their own. When they had finally arrived tracked the man down the caught him firing blast at the island lighting it ablaze and raging about how some pirate lied to him about gold. He never saw the giant Golem Fist heading towards him.

Kid took a another deep breath trying to get his nerves under control. "Damn it, just thunking about it is pissing me off!" He said wishing there was something he could take this out on. Suddenly his eyes shoot towards Izuku who was standing there was crossed arms looking to be deep in thought. 'or someone.' Kid thought a menacing grin etching it's way on to his face.

"Oi muscle head, you look like you enjoy a good fight." He said his grin widening when Izuku nodded before he pointed towards himself. "Well then why don't you try taking me on?" He chanllenged getting a raised eyebrow from Izuku. 'Well that makes things simple.' The teen thought before answering. "Sure, but let's make things interested." Getting an interested look from Kid. "How so?" He asked

"We put our lives on the line, with the life of the loser going to the winner to do with as they please." He suggested getting shocked looks from Nami, Kid and unknown to everyone Killer. "Hey wait a minute!" Nami tired to step forward but Hawkins put his hand in front of her causing the girl to look at him and see him shake his head before she to back to the two captains in time to see Kid snap out of his stupor and start to laugh.

"Well you've certainly got some balls on you don't you brat? Fine, but don't start crying and begging when Ive got you dead to rights!" He threatened before turning around and started walking down the beach. "Follow me." He instructed not breaking his stride with Izuku right behind him and after a moment Nami, Killer and Hawkins followed. "This is crazy! What's Izuku thinking?" Nami said furiously not believing what was happening. "It's was one thing to agree to fight, but to propose a death match! I can't believe Izuku is that kind of guy!" Nami continued to rant. Besides her Killer nodded not seeing the point of this, they had already got revenge there was no need for any further fighting.

Both were brought out of their thoughts by Hawkins. "Who said anything about a death match?" He questioned getting both to stop and look at him. "Weren't you listening Scarecrow? Your captain. Your captain proposed to pit their lives on the line." Killer argued and to their surprise Hawkins nodded. "Yes and the winner gets to do what ever he wishes with the loser. That doesn't mean one has to die." Hawkins said before walking ahead leaving behind two confused pirates. "Doesn't have to die? Then what could Izuku?" Nami muttered before her eyes widened in realization as she recalled what Hawkins told them on the boat.

"There is a 77 percent chance to find new cremates If we go to that island."

'So that's your plan Izuku.' Nami thought with a grin as she sped up to catch up with Hawkins leaving Killer behind confused.

Eustass and Izuku had meanwhile had reached their destination and Izuku wasn't surprised by what he saw. 'It looks like a scrap yard.' Izuku thought as as looked around and saw all the swords, guns, cannons and other broken metal lying around. Kid in the meantime had his arm spread out wide. "Man, when ever I stand in the middle of scrap like this I can't help but think of home." He revealed before bringing his arms down. "Now then." He whispered menacingly as he held up his right had purple lighting jetting from it before Turning around suddenly to face Izuku. "LET"s GET STAR!" That was all he got out as Izuku's fist landed right in the side of his face sending him flying several feet in the air and past the junk pile.

Suddenly using Shave Izuku appeared right in the air right besides Kid who had no time to react as Izuku kicked in the stomach causing the red haired man to plummet straight back down to the planet where he landed with a thud and a groan. Kid glared up at his opponent who was staying in the air thanks to Sky Walk. 'Alright that enough.' Kid thought with a scowl as he got to his feet. 'Time to get serious.' Raising his hand Kid's magnetic power activated causing dozens of swords to rise off the ground before flying towards Izuku with the intent to impale the teen.

Though this proved to be useless as the swords passed harmlessly through Izuku thanks to the Through-Through Fruit. 'Devil fruit powers huh?' Eutass thought with an annoyed scowl before having to jump out of the way to avoid a series of Storm Legs. "Hey! How about you come down here and fight me like a man instead of running like a coward?" Kid taunted Izuku who smirked in reply. "Alright." He simply said before disappearing from view.

Kid looked around frantically trying to figure out where the the slippery bastard was coming from when all of a sudden Izuku appeared right in front of him with a Shave before unleashing a barrage of punches and kicks all over the magnetic manipulator before ending it with a Haki powered punch sending him flying into the ship he and Killer had arrived on.

While this was going on the others had arrived and were watching the fight proceed. "That's the way Izuku! Just a little more and he'll be finished!" Nami cheered for her captain. As this was going on Killer had to keep himself from shaking wanting nothing more then to jump in and defend his captain and childhood friend. But he couldn't bring himself to do it. He respected Kid for to much to do get in the way during a fight. Besides Kid would never accept his help, especially since the fight as his idea in the first place.

"You needn't worry, the shadow of death isn't upon either of them today." Hawkins spoke suddenly startling Killer before looking at the magician questionably. As if feeling the masked pirates eyes on him Hawkins spoke again. "Neither man, will fall before sunset today, of that I am certain." With that the magician went silent again Killer turned his attention back to the fight hoping the straw man was right.

Back with Izuku he was trying to see any signs of Kid but just couldn't see him, and was about to head towards the ship himself when laughter emitted from it. "I gotta say you're better than I expected." Kid admitted as he appeared from the ship blood dripping from multiple wounds. "But this is the end." He declared raising his arm purple lighting appearing on it as he did so. With that movement Everything metal on the beach and ship started raising into the air. The bladed weapons mixed The scraps forming giant spears and borders while all the guns and cannons were all posed to fire.

"Well boy any final words?" He asked with Izuku remaining silent before nodding "Yeah, I do. One in fact." He told the red haired captain who nodded. "And that is?" Izuku just raised his fingers and Snapped. "Raikiri." In an instant all of Kid's weapons were vaporized in a flash of lighting. 'How though?!' He questioned before looking up and gasping. 'Those are.'

"Thunder clouds!" Gapsed Nami staring at up at the clouds as Lighting dancing around them. "When did he do this?" She questioned with Hawkins being the one to answer. "Since we landed. He started off small so no one would notice, but once he saw everyone's attention was on the fight he brought them in at a more rapid pace." Hawkins finished his explanation. Meanwhile Kid and Killer were beyond shocked at seeing the storm, not because of the storm itself but at the implications.

"The bastard has two devil fruits!" Kid cried "How thought?!" He demanded angrily trying to wrap his mind around this new situation. "Wouldn't you like to know." A voice said from behind him causing him to freeze before slowly turning around to see Izuku who appeared out of nowhere slam his fist into the red head's face causing him to fly back to island and fall just short of the burning tree's where he had time to react as Izuku slammed into him, his foot pinning the prospect arm while gripping Kid's neck with his right hand. "KID!" Killer screamed having seen enough and about to rush in, Kid's pride be damned when he found a blade at his neck. "Just watch." Hawkins ordered in a tone that bore no argument.

Kid meanwhile glared up at Izuku who was watching with no emotions. "What? Are you expecting me to cry or beg?! Well if so go fuck yourselves?!" Im no beggar so go ahead and kill me already!" Kid screamed refusing to look weak in front of his soon to be killer. What he didn't expect was for Izuku to laugh. "Now why would I kill my new crew member?" He asked rhetorically getting shocked looks from Eustass and Kid. "W-What?" Both stammered out causing Izuku to laugh harder. "Why are you surprised it's what we agreed on?!"

"Now hold on!" Eutass said a confused glare on his face as his temper started to rise again. "We agreed on a death match!" Kid shouted only causing Izuku to smirk. "No you said death match. I said the loser's life would belong to the winner. Now since you lost your life belongs to me, and I say you join my crew." Izuku reveled before turning to Killer "You can come along too if you want." After Izuku was done with his explanation Kid was silent before he started to shake rapidly and violently. "Hey Kid, are you." Killer couldn't finish his question though as Kid couldn't hold it in anymore and let out the loudest laugh he ever had. He was laughing so hard he had to grip his stomach, all the while ignoring the pain he was felling from the fight.

Finally after several minutes Kid managed to gain control of his laughter and after a few deep breathes he spoke again. "You're on crazy bastard you know that? Putting your life at risk just for the chance to get new cremates. Honestly." Kid finished with a smile and shake of his head. "Fine, fine a deal's a deal. I'll join your crew." He promised before turning to Killer. "What do you say partner?" He asked with Killer simply nodding. "well looks like our crew just grew, for better or worse." Nami muttered with an uneasy smile as Hawkins nodded, his predictions having once coming true.

Izuku meanwhile was helping Kid to his feet. "Sorry but we don't have a doctor yet, so we cant exactly patch you up perfectly yet." Kid just waved off the apology. "It's fine I heal fast and as long as we do our jobs right we wont need a doctor that much yet. Right?" He questioned getting a smirk in reply. "Well." Kid sighed dusting himself off. "We might as well head towards your ship. I would say we should get some supplies from mine but there's really nothing left." "No, problem we've got plenty of everything. Including dangerous weapons." Izuku said with a grin that Kid matched.

It was just when just when they started walking that Killer spoke up. "So what are we calling ourselves? When Kid was captain we just called ourselves the Kid pirates. Killer asked causing Nami and Hawkins to look at each other not having discussed that before. So it came as a little surprise when Izuku provided an answer. "Ive actually been given that some thought and have finally came to an answer." He informed them causing his now four crew members to listen in interested. "And that would be?" Kid questioned with Izuku smirking.

"The Devil King Pirates.

To be continued

Woh got this out just hours before Pirate warriors 4 which I'm really happy about because between this, Persona 5 royal and Final Fantasy 7 remake I wont have much time to write for a while.

Now then on to business. Kid and Killer have been recruited and I'm very happy with how it turned out. I also believe this is keeping to Kid's character. It wasn't like Kiado's submit or die thing. Instead I had turned it into a contest like the theory that rocks recruited his crew through the original davy back fights that I and many other believe. I figured something similar could be done here.

I know the crew is picking up crew members rather fast, but with the crew is as big as I had planned it. I need to recruit multiple people. I've got three more people to recruit before we leave east blue but then it will start to slow down a little as we enter the grand line. Until we reach Enies Lobby that is, I have plans for that place and all I'll say is Big mom pirates and Beast pirates will be involved.

But that's a long way off and for the most part ill be sticking to the time line with one expiation, but that's a movie so I'm pushing back a little more to make it better.

Again if anyone has anyone they want to see on the crew feel free to say so. The only ones not allowed are straw hats (Ive already got Nami and Plan on 1 more.) the Emperors or Whitebeard or Red haired pirates. Black beard pirates, Beast pirates and Big mom pirates as well as one else are up for grabs.

Last thing I wasn't to thank @shadeking666 for Suggesting Mao Pirates. I didn't go with it but I still really appreciate the suggestion.

That's it for now

Bye.
