In the vast ocean, seen the figure of a monster swimming very fast, the monster only shows a large head with three horns, and the rest of his body sank in the ocean. If someone paid more attention to the monster's head, a black-robed man was leaning against the monster's central horn while casually reading a book. The man is Itachi's money riding his Sea Dragon.

Itachi realized that life in this ocean, North Blue, was very hard. Almost all of the islands that Itachi has visited in the past month have been filled with many cruel criminals.

Even so, Itachi did not intend to be a hero and sought out criminals to kill or capture them. Itachi is not a hero and has never been a hero, he is just a s.h.i.+n.o.bi or an a.s.sa.s.sin who is trying to protect his village, Konoha. Even though it was in the past.

Even so, if a crime happened right before his eyes, Itachi wouldn't just let it go. Itachi would have killed the villain he met, then immediately left without saying a word as if he was just a tourist pa.s.sing by in a hurry.

At this time Itachi had bought a lot of books and got lots of the latest information about this world. You need to remember that the information that Itachi had obtained in the cave before was information about the state of the world 50 years ago. And the information Itachi got from an old man who was spying on Law was very limited, so Itachi had been looking for the latest information so that his knowledge was always up to date.

Itachi knew that a few decades ago there was someone who had explored the oceans of the new world, that man was also considered the Pirate King, Gold Roger. And that person also started the Era of pirates and caused the current growth of pirates to increase rapidly.

The reason for the increase in pirate growth is the 'One Piece' Treasure said by Gold Roger before he was executed.

With information obtained by Itachi about Gold Roger, Itachi even immediately knew that the One Piece that was said by Gold Roger before his death was not an ordinary treasure like gold, money, Devil Fruit or other treasures. Itachi felt that One Piece was something in the form of objects or confidential information that could change the state of this world, whether it be welfare or damage.

According to Itachi, Roger said One Piece as a treasure just to attract people to get One Piece and flaunt it to the world.

If One Piece is a treasure, Roger will definitely give it to all his Crew, or if he is a good person, he will donate it, but he doesn't! Roger even told the treasure in his possession to the world so that people look for it. Don't forget that Roger is a pirate, and the nature of pirates is greed. And if he does not have greed means he is not a pirate. Maybe ocean explorer.

That ensured that Roger did not reach his goal or get One Piece. And if he really did get One Piece, it means something or someone has prevented him from showing it to the world.

This conclusion was obtained by Itachi when he had seen much of the information he had obtained from the government which appeared to have many defects and plot holes in information and accusations of crime against Roger.

So that makes Roger into the Black Goat and made a world criminal. From this information alone Itachi could find out that there was something that was hidden by the world government that did not want the world to know, and Roger had known that so that the World government had to execute Roger.

Even though Itachi was quite curious about One Piece, but that was not enough to make Itachi interested and made him look for One Piece. At least for now.

Itachi pulled out a map, the map was the map of the world he got in the cave for the first time. It seems that this map is quite detailed compared to other maps that Itachi has seen so far. The map is a map made by O'Hara, but from information obtained by Itachi, the island has been destroyed for some reason.

North Blue, this is where Itachi is today, which is one of the Four Seas, namely North Blue, West Blue, East Blue and South Blue. Itachi saw the World Map that looked quite strange, because the only Continent or large land ma.s.s was the Red Line.

Red Line is the only continent or large land as high as 10,000 meters above sea level that stretches around the world like a ring. There is little information Itachi has about Red Line, the only information being that Red Line has two Red Points.

The first Red Point is Reverse Mountain which is located not too far from Itachi today, which is the starting point for pirates heading to the Grand Line, and the second Red Point is Mary Geoise, the place where Tenryubito and the World Government Center live located on the other side of the world .

Itachi also learned that the Red Point at Mary Geoise was the only legal road to the New World, and if Pirates from the Grand Line wanted to go to the New World, then they would have to take another route, namely Fish-Man Island which is located deep in the ocean floor .

Like the Red Line, the Grand Line and the New World are ocean currents that circle the world and form like a Ring that intersects with the Red Line.

Grand Line which is also called Paradise is a sea current that separates East Blue and South Blue. On both sides of the Grand Line there is a very calm sea called the Calm Belt which is also the nest of the Sea King because it does not have ocean currents or wind that blows, so that makes the s.h.i.+p unable to sail on the Calm Belt.

While New World is the ocean that separates North Blue and West Blue. New World is a sea that is far more dangerous than the Grand Line, and that reason is also what makes the Grand Line called Paradise to compare the level of danger in New World.

Even though New World is between North Blue and West Blue, if someone wants to go to New World, then they must pa.s.s the Grand Line first and start from Reverse Mountain. So if they want to go to the New World they have to go around the detour and go around the world to reach the New World.

(A / N: See the One Piece Map for clarity. The end of the New World is close to the starting point of the Grand Line and only separated by the Red Line, Reverse Mountain)

Even though people in North Blue and West Blue knew that New World was between their oceans, they couldn't go there directly. Because all the oceans in this world have magnetic fields and very chaotic, strange and unpredictable weather, which can make anyone lost in the ocean. And the only safe way to get to New World is to use Log-Pose or Eternal-Pose which will direct them to the island or location to New World through the Grand Line. Most areas in New World today are controlled by Yonko or the Four Pirate Emperors, namely Big Mom, Kaido, Whitebeard and Shanks.

"Shen, do you know New World ??" Itachi asked the Sea Dragon he was sitting on. Itachi had given him the name Shen Rong a week ago.

"Of course I know, Itachi-sama. I almost know all the islands and seas in this world." Shen said proudly in Itachi's mentality. His long mustache was seen writhing on both sides of his head.

"Ohh really ?? Does that mean you have explored all the oceans in this world ??" Itachi raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise.

"Of course not, Itachi-sama. I know because as a Sea Dragon, because the Sea Dragon will pa.s.s on their knowledge to the next generation, and I have inherited the knowledge of all the seas in this world from my parents," Shen said sheepishly.

"Can you take me there ??" Itachi asked.

"Ne-new World ??" Shen said nervously.

"Yes, is there a problem ??" Itachi asked again.

"I-there's no problem, it's just ..." Shen was silent not continuing his words.

"Just say it ..." Itachi ordered.

"It's just that the oceans in the New World are very dangerous, I'm not strong enough to go there, especially the Sea King there is very big and ferocious." Shen said fearfully.

"Ohh I know. So, you can't go there because you're weak ..." Itachi said expressionlessly.

"I- ... yes, I am weak." Although he was very reluctant to admit it, Shen realized that in reality he was still very weak.

"So are you afraid to go there now?" Itachi asked.

"No, of course not. It's just that there's no point in going there because I will definitely be easily eaten by other Sea Kings." Shen said firmly.

"That's good. Let's go there."

"B-but ..."

"Take it easy, I'm here. So you don't need to be afraid. And we are only temporary, our next destination is East Blue. Because Law and Bepo will be waiting for us there in two years," Itachi said calmly.

"Alright, we'll be there in 17 days." Said Shen who was still afraid.

"Alright, let me know when it's arrived." After Itachi said that, Shen immediately opened his jaw wide and displayed a row of sharp teeth, but Itachi casually entered his mouth.

Itachi had made two rooms in Shen's 500 meters body, the room was not too large because it was only used as a place to rest, and another room for storing demon fruit users for his Experiments.

u003cFlashback a month agou003e

  -Swallow Island-

In a quiet bar, Law is sitting alone and only accompanied by a gla.s.s of beer. He faintly understood what Itachi meant by saying that to him.

At first he could not believe what Itachi had said, but his words always made Law nervous. Finally he decided to investigate.

Law first investigated Bepo, but he didn't find anything important, Bepo just lazed around and slept more often, so Law decided that it wasn't Bepo.

Then he planned to investigate Shachi and Pinguin, but for some reason he felt anxious. Law quietly followed the activities of Sachi and Pinguin, at first it seemed just ordinary, they just played, got drunk and went to a brothel.

But at that time Law saw Sachi and Penguin meet some suspicious people, then they went somewhere. Law slowly followed them.

"What are you doing, Captain ??" Suddenly a lazy voice was heard behind Law who turned out to be Bepo. He immediately closed his mouth or Bepo's snout so that they would not be known.

"It's noisy, Bepo. I feel suspicious about Shachi and Penguin." Law said while whispering.

"What do you mean, Captain?" Bepo asked confused.

"Shut up, you follow me." Then Law and Bepo slowly followed them.

Law also knew that Shachi and Pinguin were delinquents from the underworld, even when they first met them, Law saw Shachi and Pinguin beating Bepo. But after Shachi and Pinguin were defeated by Law, they soon became friends.

After that Shachi and Pinguin promised not to contact the underworld anymore and would follow Law. But he did not think that they had lied to him.

In a house big enough in the area.

"Old man, Law plans to become a pirate hunter first before becoming a pirate. You know what I mean right ??" Shachi asked the old man.

"Hahh ... ?? Then why ?? Continue to follow him." The old man said nonchalantly.

"Are you stupid, old man !! We will become pirates, that means we will become enemies of the Marines and will become fugitives of the government. We can die at any time or be taken to Impel Down." Penguin said with a little anger.

"Alright, so what do you want ??" Ask the old man even though he already knew what they wanted.

"We need an extra fee. You know ?? He's already started acting troublesome."

"Yes, we need five ... No, each gets ten million Belly months." Shachi said casually. The penguin beside him nodded in agreement.

[BAMM !!!]

The marble table was. .h.i.t hard by the old man.

"You two b.a.s.t.a.r.ds !! Do you think I'm your father ?? You think money grows from trees ?? Previously you have asked for one million, and now ten million ??" The old man said angrily.

"Hey, come on. You know this has a high risk."

"Yes, even I feel ten million is still too small."

[BAMM !!]

"Shut up !! I'll call my boss first, don't regret if they won't use you guys." The old man then took the Den-Den Mus.h.i.+.

[Perep-perep-perep ...]

...

..

[Kacha !!]

"Yoo, it's me. Why do you call me ??" The snail suddenly had an ugly expression and something like snot seemed to want to drip from the snail's nose.

Finally the man explained to someone who spoke behind the snail.

"Alright, but this is the last time. If you want to raise your fees again, I'll kill you."

[Kacha !!]

After saying that, the snail looked back to normal and began to fall asleep.

"Hhaha .. old man, did you hear that ??"

"We want our payment now, we need it."

Reluctantly the old man finally gave ten million Belly to Shachi and Penguin.

Law and Bepo who heard that felt very angry, finally they decided to kill Shachi, Penguin and the old man without drawing the attention of the guards around. Law and Bepo don't even care anymore even though they have been friends with Shachi and Penguin for years. Because they both know that their friends.h.i.+p is fake.

A few days later Law and Bepo looked for Itachi, fortunately he was able to meet him before Itachi would leave the island. Law and Bepo slowly followed Itachi who was walking to the edge of the island which is a high cliff.

At first Law was confused why Itachi went to this cliff, but he immediately thought that Itachi already knew that he had been followed so he deliberately directed Law near this cliff, not even the slightest thought to Law that Itachi would go from the island through this cliff.

At this time Law immediately took out his long sword and directly attacked Itachi from behind. But as if Itachi had eyes on the back of his head, he easily deflected Law's attack with his sword without looking back.

Itachi then turned and saw Law standing before him and preparing to attack. Before Law could attack, Itachi immediately ran towards Law and attacked him quickly. But when Itachi's sword wanted to penetrate Law's body, Law's body suddenly turned to stone.

Itachi thought that it was Kawarimi Jutsu, but he soon realized that Law was using his devil fruit.

[Room !!]

Suddenly Itachi saw an energy enveloping Law's body, and the energy continued to grow. Itachi felt that if he was within the reach of that energy, then his situation would be quite dangerous. This time Itachi began to be a little serious against him, after all Itachi did not know the power of his Devil Fruit.

From a distance Itachi cut straight through the air. The red wind blade immediately attacked Law, but Law easily avoided it. But the wind blades did not stop and attacked Bepo without being able to put up a fight.

Instantly Bepo's body immediately split in two vertically. The cute white bear is now red.

"Bepooo !!!! What are you doing ?? Why did you kill him ???" Law shouted angrily.

"Isn't that because you have dodged ?? If you receive that attack maybe your bear will be fine ..." Itachi said calmly.

"Y-You ... !!! I'll kill you !! Argghhh ... !!!" Law attacked Itachi with all his might, but Itachi was like a slippery eel, not even a single stroke could hit him, and he also seemed to be able to see the range of his strength.

But suddenly hope immediately appeared. Law thought that Itachi was still human and still had limited stamina, he immediately looked exhausted from Law's insistent attacks.

Finally Itachi's body entered into the reach of his strength, Law immediately used the power of his Devil Fruit and tried to cut or take Itachi's heart. But his hopes soon disappeared, because Itachi's body was fine.

Law was very confused because his Devil Fruit powers didn't work on Itachi. But he soon realized that Itachi's body might be an illusion. So he immediately looked for a way to revive his body.

But as if Itachi knew what he was thinking, Itachi immediately attacked Law's hand. Law saw that his hand had broken and the intense pain he had felt and confirmed that Itachi's body was not an illusion.

"W-why ... !!! Do I have to die now ?? I can't even get my revenge ... !!!" Law immediately shouted in exasperation, tears streaming down his face.

"II am too weak, even I will die before I can sail ..." Law cried hard enough, he remembered his past when he was a child, at that time he could not even protect the only person he cared about, Corazon.

But at this time the same thing happened, Bepo was dead before him, even after he got Devil Fruit, he still couldn't protect the people he cared about.

With his remaining hand, Law again attacked Itachi, but Itachi immediately cut off his hand again. Then Law attacked Itachi with his leg, but at that moment both of his legs were cut by Itachi.

"QUICKLY KILL ME !!" Law, now lying on the ground without arms and legs, shouted at Itachi angrily.

Itachi walked slowly toward Law. But when Law prepared to die, Itachi did not kill him, he only stabbed his eyeb.a.l.l.s slowly then slightly twirled his sword which had now pierced Law's eye.

"Argghhhh .... !!!!!"

Law's body writhing in pain, he realized that Itachi would not kill him easily. Law tried to bite his tongue to commit suicide, but his jaw did not follow his wishes.

Moments later Itachi stopped torturing him, from the one remaining eye, Law saw that Itachi's two red eyes slightly narrowed as if he was smiling happily enjoying torturing Law.

But a strange thing happened, Law could hear a familiar voice beside him.

"Captain ... Captain ... !!! Why are you silent? What should we do now?"

"Bepo ??" Law said in a trembling voice.

"Yes ?? What's the captain ??" Bepo asked confused.

"BEPOOO !!!" Law immediately approached the fat body of Bepo's hairy body and immediately hugged him.

"Captain ... Captain ... what are you doing ??" Bepo said while trying to release Law's hug.

"Are you OK, Bepo ?? What's happened all this time ??" Ask Law while checking Bepo's body and his own body.

"Nothing happened, you just stood still for five seconds." Said Bepo who was still confused.

"What ??" Law was very surprised, he felt that time had pa.s.sed a long time ago, even he was sure that Itachi had tortured him for an hour.

Law looked at Itachi, his vision immediately changing. Then Law walked over to Itachi and only separated in a few steps from him.

[Bukkk !!]

Suddenly Law immediately prostrated before Itachi.

"What are you doing??" Itachi asked flatly.

"II ... Please make me stronger !!! I will do whatever you command me !!! Please teach me !!" Law said loudly, his head was bleeding slightly from the impact.

"What are the benefits for me ??" Itachi asked.

"I will do whatever you want !! You can even kill me, but after I fulfill my goal !!" Said Law who still did not raise his head.

"There's no point in me killing you."

"Wwait !! I am a doctor, I will be your doctor, your servant and even your slave." Said Law who had now raised his head and looked at Itachi begging.

"I don't need it." Itachi showed no interest at all. Maybe Itachi would think twice if he still had problems with his lungs, but now he has recovered.

Law was now desperate, he was confused because everything he offered to Itachi had been rejected.

"What is your purpose??" Suddenly Law heard Itachi ask him.

"I want to get revenge !! I have someone to kill !!"

"I don't want to be weak !! I want to be able to protect the people I care about." Law said firmly.

"You're very weak, and you also don't have pride in yourself by bowing to me," Itachi said calmly.

"Heh .. pride ?? As long as I don't hurt the people I care about, I will even do anything so I can become stronger !!"

"I like your determination. Practice for two years and meet me in Loguetown on the same day as today." Itachi gave Law two thick books, they were Haki and Rokus.h.i.+ki's training.

"If you two can't learn it in two years, I will make you feel something worse than death." After saying that Itachi immediately disappeared leaving Law who s.h.i.+vered in fear.

"Ehhh ... Why did I get carried along too ?? And why do you want to learn from him, captain?" Bepo asked.

"I'll tell you later. For now ... We will practice !!" Said Law with determination.
