Chapter 13 Accepting

After leaving Yosaku and Jonny train by themselves Alex decided to learn the first technique and a certain samurai's Shadow appears infront of him and demonstrates it.

Ryutsuisen (Dragon Hammer Flash) – Usually initiated by a powerful jump, this technique places its user above the opponent, thus opening up more vulnerabilities in the latter.

This technique's practitioner uses the momentum of his fall to strengthen a two-handed sword swing that brings his blade down on his enemy's head or shoulder.

Looking at this sword technique Alex thought it to be raither eassy but when he tried to perform it himself he discovered it's not as simple as it might look and after hours Of training he was only Perform it to a level where only he is satisfied when he hears footsteps from Outside beafore getting called "Lunch is here. "

"Coming big brother Zoro. " rushed Yosaku and Jonny.

"Hey Alex we have also brought some for you as well since Luffy took most of your lunch. " says Usopp with a smile giving some to Alex.

"Thank you guys. " says Alex with a smile before he started eating since he is also feeling a little hungry after practicing for so long.

By the time they were done eating lunch something came into their sight and Usopp who saw it first says pointing in its direction "Look, guys, it's a huge ship coming in this direction. "

"Look, the at their flag it's a Pirate ship. " says Alex when the ship stops right next to theirs and fog started gathering in the area making everyone surprised.

"It looks abandoned. " says Zoro with a serious face.

"I don't like this, you guys. " says Usopp with anxiety on his face.

"Hey Usopp, Alex do you want to take a look at what's going on. " asks Zoro with a smile on his face.

"Nah~ I am fine. " says Usopp without hesitation.

"I am not sure. " says Alex with a serious face before looking at Nami to ask "What do you think Nami? "

"You guys can go ahead and take a look while I will protect the ship with Jonny and Yosaku. " suggested Nami with a smile.

"Yeah~ I think that's the best idea unless you are scared that is. " says Zoro with a mocking smile.

"Who says we are scared, come on Usopp let's go. " says Alex when he discovers Nami looking at him.

After a while...

"What did say? " says Zoro with a serious face looking at Gin who is explaining about the story of their defet by a single Swordsman.

"Yes, it was only a single man with a big dark sword, I don't even know if anyone else or any other ships have made it or not," explained Gin with horror in his eyes making everyone seriously look at him as he continues "Only seven days we couldn't even last there even Seven days. "

"Just what kind of place is that, for a crew of 5000 to not have the opportunity to even last for 7 days. " asks Usopp with fear-stricken on his face as he looks at everyone.

"If he had a Black sword then there is only one man like that. " says Zoro with a serious face as determination covered his face.

"So I wouldn't suggest you go to that graveyard. " when everyone went silent says Gin glancing at Luffy who wants to visit the Grand Lines.

"Yeah, only an idiot would want to go there. " says Usopp looking at Luffy.

"Hey shut up and don't call him an idiot, since I have promised him to become the strongest swordsman I am the only one who can call him an idiot. " says Zoro punching Usopp on the head before looking at Luffy with a serious face since he is also curious about what kind of decision Luffy will make.

"What bullshit logic is that? " asks Alex before he also looks at Luffy for answers since he is also curious about Luffy's decision after all it's not something to laugh about when you hear a crew of 5000 getting wiped out in a span of a week.

"It doesn't matter what happens we are going to the Grand Lines and getting the One Piece. " says Luffy with a smile with determination and there is not even a spark of hesitation in his tone just to show his determination.

'Such conference, I could have been as confident as him as a child , he is not afraid of anything then am I even worthy of calling myself as an adult if I were to cower in the face of danger. 'for the first time after arriving in this world Alex felt a spark of life and determination in himself, even if he liked the Straw Hats free will however he had never been considering staying with them for long after becoming strong enough since he also has a dream of his own even before his death although he was never able to fulfill it however he will try to do it in this life.

If Luffy is so determined and fearless then he who might have lost his life for once why be afraid and not do everything and anything that he thinks right. 

Why not stay with the Straw Hats till the end of their adventures, since I am also curious about the One Piece, the history of the Void Century and many more, let's just stay with them hope I am not mistaken in my judgment, I also want to become the worlds best mechanic and working under someone who is going to be Pirate King is not that bad of a deal.

"Alex can you stop that please? " while he is making his judgment without even him understanding his Devil fruit power has already covered the whole restaurant and everything that can be affected by magnetic energy has already started floating in the air.

"Ah~ sorry I was just a little absent minded before. "
