{Death peak island}
_____________Guzban's Pov_____________
Guzban sat around a campfire as the pirates laughed and celebrated around him, when ever they weren't killing each other they would party through the night
He just sighed before spotting on of the commanders of the crew code-named Hawkeye for his golden-coloured eyes that looked like the animals walked in and sat next to him
'Good to see you Guzban-san' He said, The guy reminded him way to much of his lover's brother-in-law's attitude, which wasn't to bad since last he heard they had a kid from the letters she sent him which have stopped lately probably the old man trying to keep her away from her "Deadbeat husband"
'It's good to see you Hawkeye how is your family' The man nodded before grabbing the hilt of his sword that lay on his back
Yoru is one of the famous 7 supreme grade sword's that the old man doesn't shut up about, He didn't own one but owned a great grade sword Masamune made for him
The old geezer is one of the best smiths he knew, Sadly last he heard he had retired for some reason which was disappointing
Smiths like him only come once a generation and for his particular skill set they came every hundred generations being able to craft one of the Meito's was a skill unlike the smiths from 800 years ago
Hawkeye nodded before showing him a picture, My son was born not too long ago, "The boy has the same eyes as his father, but his hair was black instead of brown"
'The kids is adorable mine turned 5 last year, Sadly wasn't able to see him or my wife since I got her pregnant' Hawkeye chuckled before patting him on the back
'Among pirates were the lucky few who have families to go back to, don't take that for granted' said the man taking out a wine glass from his coat
He soon took out two glass cups before putting one for himself and his vice-captain, 'Here's to our families' as Guzban grinned before raising his own glass
'Kanpai!'

The Oro-Jackson was sailing towards the waterfall, Everyone onboard we're surrounding two pairs of blurring figures as they clashed blades
Ryu's sword was emitting a dark purple hue as he used Haki to block Rayleigh's strikes while being blindfolded without using my breathing techniques
The past few days Rayleigh had been training in him how to use haki while the crew gathered what they needed
Now he was sparring for the 36th time this week, They soon needed the waterfall as they continued the spar, One of the people on board told them to hold on as the ship went down the waterfall
But they continued fighting mid-air as they used their own version of geppo, Ryu soon sent a flying slash towards the man who used tekkai to absorb the attack
The Oro-Jackson landed hundreds of feet below them as the people onboard we're gazing towards the battle above them in wonder
'Rahhaha! Didn't expect the kid to have learned Geppo so early, But he clearly doesn't have it mastered as he's getting closer to the ground' Said Roger as everyone looked at him in shock
Ryu was soon sent towards the water as Sunbell dived down to get him, Rayleigh soon landed onboard and rubbed his forehead
'That was surprisingly a good fight, Didnt expect Ryu to get a hang of Geppo so I was shocked when he started fighting mid-air'
The boy was soon dragged out of the water by the Fishman as he landed and coughed out some water
He soon stood up and looked at Rayleigh before giving him a grateful smile, 'Thank you for the spar Rayleigh-Nii' before giving him a small bow and heading for his room
The men onboard the Oro-Jackson smiled as they looked towards the retreating kid, It was a good change of pace having him around it made the atmosphere more calm and relaxing having him around
Erio soon left the kitchen with a large tray of food as everyone got the table assembled, They would eat outside on the deck when the weather is nice but if it rained they would go downstairs to the ships dining hall
Ryu soon exited the door seeing the crew had assembled the table and were preparing it, He soon spotted Roger sitting down next to Rayleigh as the food was passed around
A cooked goat was placed in the middle of the table surrounded by an assortment of vegetables
He sat down next to his captain as he took a plate before everyone started digging in, And a few minutes later the goat was no more than dried bone as they started clearing the table and dumping the bones to the fish below
They soon heard the sounds of thunder in the distance, They looked to east before sighing as they spotted the jolly roger of the Thunder pirates
Their Captain was None other then Thor one of the strongest Pirates of the New world, He ate the Goro Goro no mi a lightning logia
Everyone got in position as the straw hat wearing man went to the front of the ship followed by Gaban and Rayleigh who stood on his left and right respectively
The ship soon sailed next to theirs as a brown-haired man who had his stomach exposed walked to the side of the ship, 'Hahaha! The Roger pirates!,
'I didn't expect you people to come to the New World so soon I had planned to hunt you down in paradise myself before hearing the news!' Roger grinned before sheathing Ace as he pointed it towards the man
'If you think I would let you hurt my Nakama you better think twice as you're going to have to come through me!' The men behind him soon cheered before sheathing their own blades
Ryu did the same as he released the Goro Nyudo from it's scabbard as it turned a shade of black-purple before being surrounded in black flames
Thor grins before he uses his devil fruit ability to attract his hammer as he grabs it and points it towards Roger 'Let this battle commence!'
