章節 69: Chapter 68: First Devil Fruit

Soren and Shanks left the ship and walked over to White Beard's ship, and when they got close Soren wanted to hide his face for his own purposes so he wore the Hollow mask.

[Why are you putting on your mask?]: shanks

Shanks saw Soren put on the mask and started to question him about it, but seeing as Soren didn't give an answer he dropped the question and continued towards White Beard's ship. Once one of White Beard's Crew saw Shanks heading towards the ship he quickly ran off to inform White Beard, and after a while a man who looked like a giant got off the ship and waited there for Shanks to come up.

[Soren, don't say anything unless I tell you too, Okay?]: shanks

[Sure, I'll try my best]: soren

Soren gave Shanks a response that basically gave off a "I give no promises" vibe to it, and soon after Soren and Shanks came to a stop and were just 10 feet away from White Beard and his crew. Once White Beard saw Shanks he gave a smile, but when he saw someone standing beside Shanks his smile disappeared and a face of appraisal appeared as he looked Soren up and down.

[Who gave you the right to check me out old man]: soren

Soren spouted out towards White Beard with no care for his life because Shanks was there to protect him if anything went wrong, and the only reason Soren did this was because he knew White Beard loved people who had a set of balls when they talked with him, Soren was now trying to appeal to White Beard's approval of him.

When White Beard heard what this man in the mask had said to him a frown appeared on his face replacing his look of appraisal, after a moment he spoke up.

[Shanks, who is this brat who you have brought along? Didn't ya tell him who I was?]: white beard --->(wb)

[He is a new member of my crew, I found him to be quite powerful… He took out a whole fleet of Marine ships and saved us from running out of booze]: shanks

White Beard took a second look at Soren then back at Shanks before saying something that upset Soren a bit.

[He looks to be just a brat who can't even pick up a sword let alone take out a fleet of Marine ships]: wb

The anger that was bubbling up inside of Soren was immediately pushed back down, but unconsciously he was releasing some killing intent that didn't slip by White Beard.

[Boy… Do you wanna fight or something? If not, you better put that killing intent away, I still haven't forgiven you for what you said earlier]: wb

Shanks gave a look at Soren seeing him resisting his urge to fight White Beard then looked back at White Beard and then spoke.

[How about a little spar… I think Soren would like to test out his power against a Yonko]: shanks

[Hahaha!... Fight?... I would kill him in 2 moves, do you really want to lose a promising crew member Red Hair?]: wb

As Shanks and White Beard were having their conversation Soren was reading a System message.

{FLASH MISSION!... GET WHITE BEARD TO FIGHT WITH HOST… REWARD FOR COMPLETION (System Points 50.000, Random Devil Fruit x1)}

'Holy Shit!... I was just trying to make him think of me as a fighter to make him like me, but this mission… I need this Devil Fruit': soren

Soren then spoke up to Shanks and White Beard seeing as they were arguing about something.

[How about it White Beard… Let's spar for just a bit, I am more resilient than you think]: soren

Soren had started to taunt White Beard, and once Soren said those words himself White Beard started laughing.

[Hahaha!... Kid… You sure have balls, I guess I misjudged you… I will spar with you but if you die it's your own fault]: wb

At that second when White Beard agreed to spar with Soren the system prompted another message.

{DING!... CONGRATS TO HOST FOR COMPLETION OF MISSION… REWARDING HOST WITH FOLLOWING (System Points 50.000, Random Devil Fruit x1)...ROLLING FRUIT!... DING!... HOST HAS RECEIVED (Rumble-Rumble Fruit)}

Soren saw the fruit and realized that this fruit was one of the best fruits in One Piece.

'Holy Shit!... Sakura, if I eat this fruit will It affect my ability to swim and make ocean water a weakness to me?': soren

{DING!... HOST CAN BUT A FRUIT STABILIZER, OTHERWISE YES, HOST WILL GAIN THE WEAKNESSES OF THE FRUIT}

Soren pondered over this and then asked quickly.

'How much is one of those stabilizers?': soren

{DING!... ONE COST (300.000 System Points) HOST HAS (844.000 System Points) WILL HOST BUY ONE?}

'Yes!... If I can get rid of the weaknesses then I can use Lightning as a weapon, and electrical attacks will nullify': soren

{DING!... BOUGHT (1) STABILIZER FOR (300.000 System Points) REMAINING POINT IS (544.000 System Points)... USING STABILIZER TO CLEAR (Rumble-Rumble Fruit) WEAKNESSES… DING!... CLEAR, WOULD HOST LIKE TO USE FRUIT?}

'Yes!... Consume fruit please': soren

{DING!... FRUIT CONSUMED… FUSING POWER TO HOST BODY, IF HOST DIES THIS POWER WILL BE LOST… FUSION COMPLETE, HOST NOW HAS POWER OVER LIGHTNING}

Soren now had the power to control and create lightning, and once the power fused with him lightning surrounded his body, and at the same time White Beard had rushed at Soren for the spar to start.

[Prepare yourself kid, I won't go easy on you]: wb

Shanks stood on the side and watched as White Beard rushed Soren, Soren was just standing there doing nothing. Shanks was wondering what other tricks Soren had up his sleeves, and once White Beard got close to Soren a bunch of lightning shot out of Soren's body covering him in lightning.

[Take this kid… URGHAA!]: wb

White Beard threw a punch that was covered in the power that cracks and destroys space, and when that punch made contact with the lightning covering Soren's body a big explosion sounded as White Beard jumped back.

[what just happened? Did Captain just kill him?]: wb crew members

Shanks looked at the spot where the explosion occurred while watching and waiting for something to happen, and in that next second White Beard started to laugh.

[Hahaha!... Boy… I like you, would you be willing to join my crew and leave Red Hairs?]: wb

Shanks turned towards White Beard and in that second saw Soren on White Beards shoulder with his sword pointed at his neck.

[Sorry but I have already told idiot captain over there I would stay with him… Thanks for the offer though]: soren

[Hahaha!... Good, your a good kid… Shanks!... You have officially been listed as the fourth Yonko, now I need to go… I hope to see you around kid, Hahaha!... Move out men!]: wb
