I was on my way to the docks. It was one of the best places to hunt down the pirates, wanted to go to the Grand Line. As I was casually walking, I noticed two man in medieval silver armor with a white cape walking towards me. There was a red cross on the cape.
Interesting!
"What is that?" asked Crow.
They look exactly like Templars, I remember from my previous life.
"Endless Universe, endless possibilities. There is nothing to surprise."
I guess you are right.
I was really surprised though. Their clothes were too familiar. I was planning to walk by them, one of them spoke "Lord Hitomi. Our leader wants to speak to you."
I looked around if there are any other Hitomi. Are they talking to me? How do they know me? I just got here.
"Who is your leader? And who are you?"
"We are the Templars. Our leader is North Blue Division Lord Aquilo." said one who spoke earlier.
North Wind?
"Do you know Latin?" asked Crow.
I learned a few things when I was in college. How do you know it's Latin?
"I know every language. How do you think, I'm the best system?" bragged Crow, patting his imaginary chest.
Another bragging. But they are really templars. This is quite interesting.
"Lead the way." I said.
We walked for a few minutes and reached a warehouse at the docks. I walked in without second thought. Inside of the warehouse was neatly designed. There were containers on both sides but it was evenly placed. I smelled something fishy, but couldn't place my finger on it. There was a throne in the middle of the room. A middle-aged man, in his late forties, was sitting on the throne. Fondling ring on his pointer finger, with his thumb. The golden ring had exquisite red stone on top. In that red stone, there were red clouds, and as hurricane clouds were twisting non-stop. There was something eerie in that clouds looking right in people's soul.
This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.
Man on the throne had golden armor, the same style as other two with the same white cape. He looked so dashing. He looked straight at me from distance. There was a red flash in his eyes.
"Lord Hitomi .." he stopped and looked like he was thinking on something. "I noticed, I don't know your last name. Actually, nobody knows. You appeared from thin air. It is quite interesting, don't you think. Its almost like, you came from another world, Lord Ninja." stood up and said with a smile.
I didn't know how to refute. I just looked around. I couldn't see before but I see there was at least 20 man hiding behind containers. It was impossible to see from the entrance of the warehouse. Some had armor like two brought me here, some had priest clothes. Priest clothes were white in color and red cross on their chest. There was a crimson cape with the white cross on them. These are actual Templars. How did they come here?
"From the weak world, you can come anytime. They must find a way to here." said Crow.
But what for?
"I don't know..."
"What is your aim? You want to make an enemy of Black Wing?" I asked with my ace in the hole as they started to circle me.
"Ah, Black Wing. The Bounty Hunter Guild. Our prime trouble. You see 'Lord' Hitomi. We were about to take a move against the world when we were told delay our moves because there was a busybody boy, who wanted to make a move against pirates." he said with the moves of stand up artist. He was quite good at speech actually.
"At first, we didn't care. You were in East Blue. We had no business in that weak sea. But later you decided to move other seas. I don't know how you pass redline, but this feat itself is, worth respect. I will give you that. But you have to take a step back. I don't want to kill you, I want to offer you a position." said showing his ring.
"Kneel before me. Kiss my ring, accept our Lord and be my right-hand man, or die here!" said with mighty aura. Then turn into Lion-Human Hybrid form.
Devil Fruit User! Just what I ask for. I made 40 hand seal in few second and apply Water Style Water Prison.
He was trapped in the water prison, and as a fruit user, he couldn't move. I turn my sight to others. There was a total of 22 people. I could deal with them with my means. I draw my sword and made 3 clones. 4 of us turn around and faced 4 directions. My clones were protecting me while I turn around to face the leader. I couldn't believe what I saw. The leader was out of the water prison, soaking wet, still dripping water. He was standing in front of me, his hand was inside my rib cage and I could actually feel his hand holding my beating heart.
I couldn't think, I froze. My clones are beaten in a few seconds. I gathered all the data how they defeated when they disappeared. They were all taken out by one shot. Enemy priest put their hands on clones rib cage and destroyed their hearts.
The leader looked at me with a mocking smile and said "This is your last chance. Kneel!"
"How did you walk out water prison?" I could only ask. "Aren't you a fruit user?"
"What about it? It was not bad, but this kind of party tricks can't hold me." he said. He wasn't talking about it being water, he was talking about Jutsu's power.
Crow! What the f*ck is going on? Didn't you tell me, Fruit Users would be a hammer in Water?
I gathered all my chakra and flashed to the top of the Red Line. It was at least 5 to 6 hours of flight distance and depleted all my chakra. As I passed out, I let Jon out...
