Chapter 3: The Place

Sanemi walked around the land of Wano as he observed the people and culture around him. Compared to the world of Naruto Wano was not much different from the land of Iron, Wano was just more of a mix of Chinese and Japanese cultures.

He walked around Ebisu Town and the Flower Capital in hopes of spotting one of the crystals.

'The crystals with my Martial arts knowledge or my physical strength are the priorities when I can bulldoze buildings I should be able to find the rest of the crystals easily ' Sanemi thought he stopped at a Soba stand.

"Greeting Oni Prince Sanemi-dono! How may we serve you? " The stand owner came out to greet Sanemi. As the son of Kaido Sanemi enjoys prestige and a little rule over this country. He can freely do whatever he wants as long as it doesn't cost too many problems to his father.

"Get me 10 servings of cold Soba " Sanemi ordered as he sat down on the bench and looked around to see people of Wano either gathering around him or trying to avoid his sights.

'Those guys should be the leftover of the Kozuki family and servants. ' Sanemi thought as his eye caught the sight of a few men with straw hats and Katana trying to suppress thier bloodlust against him.

Sanemi did not give them another look and started his meal, in a matter of seconds he finished the ten bowls and stood from his seat.

'It feels good to be a prince ' Sanemi thought as he walked away. As the prince of the Wano, he doesn't have many things to do he can just sit at home and get free food from this land. While he does want to help the poor but getting the attention from the Red Oni Prince will only cause more trouble for them than anything.

'According to my calculations in about 10 years Ace will crash around the Amasagi village, and loot the land of Jack for food supplies and meet Yamato there as well ' Sanemi thought as he jumped over one of the buildings to get a better look for the crystals.

'The Flower capital doesn't seem to be the best place to look for the crystals...perhaps Ebisu town will be the place since it has shorter buildings. ' With those thoughts, Sanemi rushed towards Ebisu Town in hopes of finding any of his crystals.

------------------

"Everyone! I heard that the Oni Prince is coming...huff... towards our Town! Everyone get inside and hide! In case...huff...he tries to enter the house...huff... do not resist and hide your wives and children as well! " A man announced between heavy breathing.

The people of Ebisu town were quite terrified. It was understandable last time someone from the Beast Pirate came took away literally anything they could find valuable, food, wine, woman nothing that caught thier eyes was spared.

'Why is he coming here !?! I need to hide the Kozuki princess! ' A man with straw hat thought as he along with his partners quickly tried to blend in the crowd which was dispersing everywhere.

With just the announcement of his arrival the whole town was in disarray. People were getting crushed, tripping, getting injured and the scene was just total chaos.

Sanemi stepped on the ground of Ebisu and walked around to notice the town seemed quiet...too quiet. There was not a single soul on the streets and it seemed as if everyone had abandoned the village.

'These guys...are they trying to hide from me? well, it just makes the task easier ' With that Sanemi scaled the highest building in Ebisu town and looked around.

'Hmm a golden crystal which is only visible to me...' Sanemi thought as his eyes roamed the Ebisu. In each and every direction he looked to spotted nothing. Everything seemed normal...

'Perhaps in one of the homes? ' Sanemi thought as he continued to look around him.

The current Ebisu looked a lot different from the Anime as one of the places where the rebellion against Kaido started, the very same place where Oden slashed Kaido's chest, and the very same place where Kaido almost lost.

Due to these events, Ebisu looked like a wasteland with a few huts, while it seems that Kaido and Orochi have a few plans for this place they are more busy developing the Onigashima and Flower Capital.

'Could that be...' Sanemi's thoughts drifted as he spotted a crystal floating about 200 Km away from him.

After staring at the crystal for about 5 minutes the crystal started to glow and turned into a white ball. The ball then slowly floated towards Sanemi while twisting and turning every now and then as if teasing him.

The ball then merged into Sanemi's chest as his whole body gave a golden glow.

'This...crystal contained my Martial arts reflexes it seems...along with my martial arts performing techniques... ' Sanemi thought he felt his powers increase and sense felt better than ever.

While he did master a lot of the Martial arts he had by himself, having thier knowledge back along with the capability to perform them gave Sanemi a huge boost.

'With this weapon-wielding and fighting should be good to go, I just need to increase my raw powers. I now have 4 days to search for another crystal before they start moving again ' Sanemi thought as he observed his surroundings once again.

'It seems that rest are scattered around the whole Wano or buried deep under the sea... ' Sanemi thought as he jumped from house to house, roof to roof, and ran across the ally ways to find nothing that resembled the crystals.

'Tch, it seems the Ebisu town is cleared, I will return for now I have a fight against Bounty and Prize. ' Sanemi thought as he left the place and returned to Onigashima.

-----------------

Within Onigashima there were a lot of places, there was the Queen's disco, bar, the winery, Kaido's palace but today almost everyone was present at the fight ring dubbed: ' The Place ' it was called 'The Place' mainly because this is where the hierarchy of the beast pirates is decided.

Today there was a special occasion at ' The Place ' Stadium. Kaido's firstborn, the Red Oni Prince Sanemi has challenged Prize and Bounty to finally set his foot on the world of pirates.

Not only did he challenge Bounty for his position but he also challenge Prize along with him to give his show of power and superiority. That is what everyone thinks.

"Wororororo! Finally, the brat decided to start his way to become my successor! " Kaido yelled at the top of his lungs while having a bottle of wine beside him.

"Brother..." Yamato thought as he started at the stadium as Sanemi entered.

In front of Sanemi stood two men.

One of the men had spiky red, orange, and yellow hair and a spiky black design on his right eye. He also wore some sort of metal armor with a cape.

The other man had brown dreadlocks. He wore a high collared white vest over a black shirt and has green pants. He also wore a golden chain necklace.

They were Bounty and Prize the captain and vice-captain of the Bounty Pirates. They both had a respectable bounty of 1 billion berries and 700 thousand berries respectively.

"Bahahhaha So the Oni Prince decided to use us as the stepping stone? I think you need to train for 20 more years to match up to my power! " Bonty yelled the last sentence ad released flames from his palms.

"Phrararaara! Calm down captain he is still Kaido's kid we don't want him to start crying " Prize laughed as he too ridiculed Sanemi.

"To think I expected some of the strength but all I were two clowns, huff well can't have everything I guess, " Sanemi said as he looked down at both of them.

"You bastard... " Bounty was now angry towards Sanemi and ready to show him his place.

Bounty pulled out his blade, Almace one of them 21 Skillful Grade swords in the world. It was a double-edged sword with no Gaurd.

Prize too pulled out his weapon a Spear names Imperanarasu one of the Meito blades but its true rank remains unknown.

"Well then let's get this show on the road! " Sanemi said as he pulled his massive blade.

Amenius was the name of Sanemi's blade and it belonged to the Great Grade of Meito swords. Amenius had a large black body with golden embroidery along with its sharp side coated in unknown glowing material. It had its hilt in the shape of the Greek letter Omega. Its full length was about Sanemi's height.

"Haaaa!! " Bounty yelled as he covered his blade in flames and rushed towards Sanemi.

"That is Bounty-sama's Bana-Bana no mi! it converts his jealousy into flames and heat! " One of the watchers yelled in excitement.

"It is said when losing his flames can even turn blue!!! " Someone else continued.

"Heh, too slow " Sanemi muttered with all of his martial art reflexes back he was easily able to counter Bounty's mad rush by sidestepping and swinging his blade aiming for Bounty's neck.

"You are fighting two at once! " Prize yelled and with a thrust of his spear attacked Sanemi who blocked it with his blade's body and was knocked back a little.

"Captain you good? " Prize asked he stood in front of Bounty.

"Yeah, the brat is well trained it seems, " Bounty said as his bladed glowed red and he got ready.

"Don't interrupt this time prize! I will take him on my own " Bounty yelled as he again charged towards Sanemi.

"As if! " Sanemi yelled back and both of them clashed thier blades.

"Hehe " Sanemi gave a smirk and with his feet produced spiked rocked in Bounty's location who used Moonwalk to escape the predicament.

Sanemi with his fruit powers produced a rock size of a volley-ball and punched it towards Bounty who was mid-air.

Bounty used his flames to propel himself a little and then performed a few backflips when he landed to avoid more of Sanemi's spikes coming from the ground.

"That is the power of Sanemi-sama's Mythical Zoan! It truly lives up to its name! " One of the bystanders yelled as the rest of them cheered for the match.

"Worororoororo! Kick his ass, my son! *gulp* haa~ " Kaido yelled he drank more of his Sake.

"Burner Knife! " Bounty yelled as his blade gloved deep crimson and emitted terrifying heat.

"Tremor Blade! " Sanemi responded with his own yell as he cover Ameinus in the golden glow of his fruit powers.

"Raaahhhh! " Sanemi yelled and clashed his blades with Bounty creating a crack in the air and unleashing a shockwave through his blade.

"Aaaaakkkkhhhh! " Bounty yelled as he was thrown across the stadium and suffered from internal damage.

"There is more from where that came from! " Sanemi yelled as he created a 10 feet tall rock and launched it towards Bounty.

"Spear Delivery! " Prize yelled as he threw his Armament coated spear to destroy Sanemi's boulder.

"That is Prize-Sama's Deri-Deri no mi! He is able to deliver anything he touches to his target! " A random pirate announced as the crowd grew more and more wild as the fight went on.

"Burner Knuckle! " From the smoke created by debris Bounty emerged his hands red hot and ready to punch Sanemi's face.

"Airwave! " Sanemi released a low magnitude tremor in the air surrounding him pushing Bounty away.

"I must say almost had me. I guess I will get a little more serious against you two " Sanemi said as he got ready with his blade. Amenius released a shining golden glow as Sanemi infused it with his fruit powers.

" Destruction Dice! " Sanemi yelled as he swung Amenius releasing a powerful tremor in the air.

The air in front of him cracked and like a mirror shattered creating a massive Shockwave which threw both Bounty and Prize quite far away.

Both of them managed to say on the stage with the help of Amamaent Haki and using thier fruit abilities.

"I didn't think a brat would be this strong...This is called Haki kid I bet you have yet to even hear its name! " Bounty yelled as his blade was now covered in a pitch-black Armament Haki with a red glow around it from his fruit.

"Is that so? Very well then show this trump card of yours! " Sanemi yelled and dashed towards Bounty.

"Explosive Delivery! " Prize yelled and used his fruit powers to launch bombs towards Sanemi. Sanemi flipped mid-air and used his blade to block the explosion.

"Gotya brat! " Bounty yelled as he coated his hand in Armament Haki and punched towards Sanemi's face.

[Boom!]

A large explosion occurred from the clash as the smoke filled the area. Slowly the smoke dissipated to reveal -
