It's been a few days since we were attacked by the marines. I haven't made much progress with the abstract energy other hardening it and enforcing solid objects. I've moved onto trying to enforce liquids but I'm not even close to it, what I'm doing is basically trying to harden water into ice using this energy, its arduous but I have a feeling that fine control over this energy is essential in its other uses.
My physical strength is still growing without any signs of slowing down. I think a few years is enough to handle the 7gates. I don't know about the 8th one, I hope my still dormant fruit powers would help me get there.
The crew is still functional except some of the weaker ones becoming vegetables due to mental overload. Repeatedly casting genjutsu on the same people who keep subconsciously resisting seem to affect them after a few months.
The first sign was sleepless nights following with tremendous headache, seizures, hallucinations, nausea and lastly coma.
As we reached the coast of Whisky Peak with our crew we were greeted with a very lively bunch who just wished to 'feed' us. I could feel the killing intent but ignored it and went with the flow. Besides, the crew have no use anymore. Let's see if I can make another temporary crew.
"Please enjoy your meal."
Still, Its tiring to fight so many fights so I alerted them about the food being poisoned. Despite their drunk state the pirates were quick to respond. Slashing the neck of the nearest waiters, the captain send the emergency flare and within a few minutes we got in formation.
The people still smiling, rushed at us like mad men with their creative weapons, still...it was disappointing. The captain of our ship was someone strong and had rich experience, the rest of the crew were veterans. None of them showed fear in the face of so many pirate hunters, only slight annoyance at the fact that they were fooled by cheap tricks.
The battle was easier than giving insurance to a homeless man who had suddenly won the lottery, that was until the strong combatants showed up and we started to face some pressure. Pressure for them of course, I was just chilling on a tree while my shadow clones fought.
The guy using boogers as bombs was able to kill Kreig while captain Makarov was busy with a guy with bats and a woman on a....duck. The other combatants of the crew whose name I never bothered to remember were being bombarded with a lady falling down at random moments with a weight enough to make a hole in the ground.
{A/N: really can't remember most of the arcs so bear with me if there is any plot hole further on}
The fight went on for a long time until the number guys and women with flipmy code names were defeated. The blue haired chick seeing how strong we are asked for help regarding kingdom affairs and explained that she needs to free her country from a someone called Mr.0. Well this just got interesting.....
I quickly spoke out before the makarov could refuse and made him comply. The crew was in a very bad shape but they were useless anyways. The only one who was useful was makarov but he'll also be out of gas once we reach the next island.
"Who're you?"
"Kel Sparrow."
"Why did the captain listen to you?"
".....Do you want help or not?"
"...."
I was about to ask for her name when I sensed some animals spying on us. Now I would've ignored it if they were normal animals but these ones show intelligence akin to the seagulls. This can only mean that they are here to report back about our situation to the Mr.0
The one with the blue haired girl was still my clone so I let them spy on our conversation while I sneakily inserted a small ship in their pockets. These chips (normal stones) matured in my chakra are detectable to me only.
I can now follow the chakra signature to locate Mr.0 and find out his plans. The only ones that should pose a challenge to the team should be the higher agents, but makarov should take care of them even if he has to die in the process.
When the blue haired girl called "vivi" was about to attack the animals I stopped her and let them escape.
"Why did you stop me!?"
"Calm down, I've inserted a tracking device, now we can find out where the mastermind's base is and take him out in one blow."
"O-oh"
"Now let's go kick some ass."
"Umm...I have a question."
"Hmm?"
"Why are you all helping me without asking anything in return?"
"Hehe it's because this is fun."
"....."
"What, you were expecting us to ask for something like your scrawny body?"
"W-what are you saying!"
"Let's go."
"DON'T IGNORE ME!"

I looked around and saw the vast desert, there was something abnormal about this island but I passed it off as another weird phenomena in the grand line. We wrapped our heads in cloth and entered the city. The marines were patrolling the streets and many beggars were secretly keeping watch. The mastermind seems to have a tight grip on the underworld but I was confused as to why the government hasn't taken any action.
From what I've heard, if an island gets too far away from their control then it is quickly dealt with a buster call.
The government must be involved in here but the question is why would they do this? What was the point of supporting these criminals behind the scenes. Why of course it's to make some special team of hitmen. The only hitman protected by the government here is the warlord crocodile.
What a fun game you're playing here....
"Why are you smiling like that. It's creepy."
"It's my normal smile vivi."
"Well it makes you seem crazy so do me a favor and never smile from now on."
"...."
"So what do we do now."
"Take the crew to the castle and secure the king, meanwhile I'll break inside the casinos to make a distraction."
"Will you be okay."
"Doesn't matter, it's the captain's order so I can't reject it."
.
"Hey hey hey! it's your boy kel coming here to take your money. Now hand over everything you've got people."
"""""""""""Junior you dare! """""""""""
"Yes!"
"You are thousand years too young to dare steal from us, arrogant brat who doesn't know the vastness of heaven and earth. GUARDS."
*Step*step*step*step*
"Hey kid stop causing trouble and come with u- *spalt*
Wooden spikes erupted from the ground and killed the entire bunch. The wannabe young masters were horrified and tried to threaten me but I just ignored it and headed outside.
The upstarts breathed a sigh of relief when they saw me retreat until…..
[Katon Great Fire Annihilation]
The entire building erupted in flames as the residents inside were burned to cinders. The commotion not only sniffed out the agents undercover but also the marines as I was surrounded in all sides.
"Kel sparrow, under the makarov pirates with a bounty of 62million berries, suspected of being the real captain of his crew with a devil fruit that lets him control almost all elements of nature."
A tall man with shaved hair came out as he narrated my biography.
"So were you expecting me to lash out in anger when my identity was leaked out."
"You've been pretty arrogant with your devil powers, let me humble you now kel."
*swoosh*
"Hey man now don't say my name as if we're related. Its creepy."
*Grit*
"Today is the day you die so count yourself lucky that you are dying in my hands and not some weak marine."
*Chuckle*
"The idea of death really does make my days more lively, after all I must die a little to live a little don't I?"
"Die."
*Slice*
"Let's see how long this game lasts."
"We know your crew is headed towards the king. Face it, you've lost."
*Ting*
"Failure makes my journey all the more fun."
*Ting*
"Your crew won't survive if you keep persisting."
*Slice*
"Shut up and fight baldie."
*Chek* *Chek* *Chek*
As he dodged the hail of spikes he charged at me with his razor arms. I'll admit, he would've given me a hard time with that metallic body of his if it were the previous me.
Dodging the incoming slash I got behind him and punched him.

{Just had this urge to go wuxia in this chapter. its for this chapter only...really.....i promise.
Can't remember these arcs clearly, BUT i'll explain the changes in simple words.
they came to whiskey peak MONTHS before luffy's crew so robin wasn't on the island yet and she still didn't allow vivi to find out mr.0's identity.}
