Serious : Tragic news reaches Anubis, the burden of being the right and left hands (open to Anubis pirates and allies)

Knight Jr then opened up a path through the jungle "Follow me to the camp area... there you will have your test..... mind your step, there are some creatures in this island that Anubis sama uses for training ......"

There are some loud noises in the forest.

Sam started to walk through the pass that was opened for him, his steps were pretty fast. He also thought that using his devil fruit powers would make it faster, but well he then changed his mind and decided to keep his abilities hidden for what was going to come later.

Sam then unsheathed his swords as he heard some voices getting closer...and closer.

There was suddenly a giant milipede which came from behind to ambush Sam and Knight Jr. Knight looked back "Oh crap!!! they found us!!!!"

"Bane Bane no mi:Spring Hopper!!!"Sam launched himself and slashed the damn milipede fast into pieces using one of his favorite techniques that he practiced a lot.

"Woohhhooo!!! this is getting fun!!!"Sam shouted in delight as he charged forward quickly. He was running this time, and he was pretty fast. He also heard the voice of this Knight Jr. Knight but he ignored it, deciding to follow the instructions instead of looking for this Knight guy. It was a fact that a part of him did not trust Knight, but well he came here ready for anything.

Knight Jr sighed and then explained "This is level island.... its a simple island , the weakest animals and plants are at the very outer circle and the strongest creatures are in the innermost circle....... Anubis sama is on the other side of this island... so your test is......"

"Well then...it seems that I will have to dig in deeper into the forest."Sam answered as he used his bane bane no mi abilities to move faster into the forest.

He was now heading to the innermost circle were the strong creatures were living.

before he could reach that circle even close more giant milipedes came out , this time they were grey in color. Knight Jr hid "Oi be careful those things are tough!!!!"

"stronger heh? sounds more fun."Sam said as he charged toward the first millipede and cut her legs using his swords.

"One down!" He shouted as he slashed his swords horizontally in the middle chopping his first target into two pieces.

"hmmm seems like I should do this faster, blade tornado!!!"He shouted as he started to rotate in a fast speed while holding both of his blades. He then cut the legs of all the millipedes attacking him by moving fast while rotating and holding his swords. This was also another powerful technique that Sam used.


"And now for the finale blow!!Bane Bane no mi:spring hopper!!" Sam then started to bounce fron one tree to another until his speed increased. He then started to aim himself at the injured millipedes one after another and slashed them with his swords.

"Hmmm that was more fun"Sam mumbled to himself as he started to move again toward the innermost circle.

The milipedes looked like they were falling but they got up again and blocked Sams path. Knight jr sighed "THEIR SKIN HAS A HIGH DENSITY!!!! YOu need to go deeper in if you want to beat IT!!!!"

"hmmm...so slashing won't work that much" Sam said as he started to jump at one millipede's back after another stabbing it with all his might.One after another until they all felt down.

"Hmmm...I gues that is what you meant by going deeper in ha?get deeper into their skin."

Knight Jr then ran foward "well, good job, that was the third circle ... we have alot more to go and more creatures to face......"

Slowly there were praying mantis's flying towards them and all using their long scythe like hands to slice at Sam

Sam quickly used his swords to block the attacks that were coming at him from the mantis. He then jumped in the air.

"Blade tornado!!""He shouted as he started to rotate while in the air,forming a tornado in the air that chopped all the mantis into pieces.

"Lets go!"He said as he landed on his feet and charged deeper into the forest.

From Sam's back a powerful Air Projectile Attack hits one of an attacking mantis. Amaterasu 1 . Kazuma then looked at Sam You were disturbing my warm-up. The mantises here have outer shells and inner shells, if you cut them not deep enough you only destroy the outer shell

Knight Jr sighed "Hello Kazuma, out for your daily exercise? but this is still circle 2, there is a long way to go... just started?"

Kazuma swings his left shoulder a little Yes. I am. I was just in here half an hour ago. I only beaten 25 mantises and 23 millipedes in total so far with my Amaterasu 1

"Bane Bane No Mi: Spring Hopper!!!"Sam once again started to bounce from one tree to another until he unleashed himself on his targets. This time making sure that he was using more effort, and power.Finally he was able to knock the Mantises off.


"hahaha......welll looks like I have a long way ahead of me so I better get going." Sam said as he started to rush forward fast.

Knight Jr reloaded, "Ok lets go to the fourth circle.are you ready Sam? "

Suddenly more mantises of a bigger variety came out blocking Sams path and trying to launch big slices at him. Knight Jr took cover "Damn my bullets are not enough... Sam!!!! aim for both shells!!!!!"

"Blade tornado!!!"Sam quickly used the tornado attack again. It was his favorite attack when he was surrounded by a lot of enemies. However Sam made sure that this time his attack was strong aimed for both shells in those damned flying insects. After all he did not want to repeat the same mistake he did before.


Qucikly Sam landed down as soon as all the mantises felt down."wooow...I wonder how you guys manage to live here."Sam said as he started to sprint forward again knowing well that the others were going to catch up with him easily.

Kazuma was at the back of both of them. He is holding his sword in his hand. He saw a very large mantis at the left side. It was thrice the size of the mantises they fought. He quickly whispered. Amaterasu 2 . A swift air projectile cuts the mantis in half

Knight Jr replied to Sams comment "I never usually come this far in to the forest, that is only reserved for Anubis sama, Seshomaru sama, Satoshi, Amarant, Ryan and a few other higher ranks, they train in here...... and Kazuma recently started training here,he has been to the 5th circle,but no further than that."

the forest quieted down a bit as there were no more giant mantises around the area anymore

A ship was closing in. It had a familiar flag. Anubis' flag. Solar had finally returned from his voyage to Arabasta. The ship was looking for something. Captain Anubis. Solar found the ship. "Where is captain." He wondered as his ship drew closer.

One of the random pirates in the Anubis pirates ran up to Anubis at top speed after seeing Solar ships with his binoculars and knelt down before him "Anubis sama!!! Commander Solar has returned from his expidition!!!"

Anubis was happy to hear that Solar was fine "Set a flare so Solar will know where we are"

The pirate launched a flare into the sky giving indication to Solar as to their location.

"There they are!" One of the pirates shouted to Solar. "Steer the ship to them. I wish to bring the news myself." Solar ordered his men. They landed shortly, and Solar left on his own. There was nothing to fear from Anubis. He walked up to Anubis. "Captain Anubis. Mission accomplished." He took out the documents he had been sent to retrieve.

Anubis took the documents and patted Solars shoulder "You have done fantastically Solar...... im sure by now you have heard the sad news?"

Seshomaru then stood up from his chair and started to walk towards a waterfall nearby there. Anubis, I will train now, I need to strengthen my power if it comes a time I have no sword . Seshomaru knew that he needs to become stronger. Much, much stronger. He soon found the waterfall. His goal was to divide the waterfall into two for a short while with his punch, but the punch must not touch the water and is must have his weights on. It will surely be a difficult one even for a Yonkou. He stood in front of the waterfall, he released a powerful punch in front of the waterfall, but it only moved a little, his weights are surely giving him a hard time. He had then did a hand stand under the waterfall to strengthen his arms. He does not want to let any of his crew members die.

Kazuma then corrected Knight Jr. Oh I already went far into the forest once, but that was when I was accompanying Seshomaru-sama, I wanted to go far into the forest without him so that I can also train.
