A young woman was knocking on a wooden door. “Mister, mom told me to tell you the food is done.”

Yan D. Yu swung his room door open surprising the young woman. Earlier, he still had his hat on his head, now it was off. His hairstyle was nothing to be seen in this world. Most men and women in this world like their hair straight, braided, or put into a bun. However, his hair style was vastly different from their own.

Seeing his full appearance, and hair the young woman felt like she was looking at a man that couldn’t be tamed. From his appearance, to the way he talked. It was as if he didn’t care for culture, nor did he care about face. This sort of man caused her small heart to flutter.

Watching the young girl in her daze, Yan D. Yu couldn’t help but laugh. “C’mon, your mother is waiting.” He laughingly told her as he walked past her.

Getting rid of those hoodlums earlier, didn’t cause a stir at all in the inn. It seemed like they were use to these kinds of people, so no one cared that they died. The woman only told him to get rid of the bodies, it was bad for business.

Yan D. Yu seemed to understand as he burned their bodies to ash.

Making his way downstairs, his nose smelt something great, which caused his stomach to growl. Licking his lips, he sped up.

The mature woman seeing Yan D. Yu coming smiled. She was grateful to him for getting rid of those people earlier. They continued pestering her about some marriage proposals for her daughter, now that they were gone all her worries washed away.

“Here, with all that meat i’ve made you a variety of dishes. I hope that they suit your taste.” She told him as she pointed to the different types of food on the table.

Yan D. Yu had his own table in the dining area. Usually there would be two or three people sharing a table to enjoy their meals, but with Yan D. Yu’s spread, he had to have his own table.

“Such a beautiful woman, your cooking must also be good.” He complimented her as he took a seat.

“You must be joking, such an old woman like me lost her beauty a long time ago.”

Yan D. Yu was about to take a bite out of a juicy steak when he heard her. “No, i’m not. I don’t know where your husband is, but he surely is a lucky man.”

Hearing what Yan D. Yu said, she couldn’t help but remember her husband who died. Her emotions started to stir up. “Enjoy your meal mister…”

“Yan D. Yu. That’s what you can call me.”

“I’m Yu Ying. I’ll take my leave now, please enjoy your meal, if there is anything else you need please tell my daughter.”

Yan D. Yu nodded in reply as he started to eat his steak. He almost cried from the flavor. That sweet juice, the tenderness. It was as if the meat was melting in his mouth. This food tasted better than the kind in his own world! Yan D. Yu couldn’t believe it, if this woman could make a meal this good, what kind of meal would a high ranking chef be able to make?

It was decided at that moment, Yan D. Yu would find at least two chefs for his crew.

“Mom, why does he dress so funny? Shouldn't he at least cover up? Doesn’t he feel embarrassed being nude in the open?” The young lady asked her mother.

“Yu’er, why don’t you go over and ask him. He should be able to give you a better explanation that I can.” The mature woman told her while smiling at her daughter.

It was good to see her daughter taking an interest in someone else. Especially the opposite sex. Glancing over at Yan D. Yu, his body wasn’t bad, nor was his looks. He was able to take down six people, if her daughter could get someone like him, she would happily die in peace.

Yu Xing pouted, her mother was making fun of her. She knows that she isn’t use to seeing someone naked, let alone a male. Everytime she is in front of him, her whole body feels tense, and she can’t make out any words.

Seeing her daughter pout, Yu Ying smiled. “I truly don’t know, but maybe he isn’t from this continent. The world is bigger than what we see.”

Slurping up his soup, Yan D. Yu licked his lips as he burped. Patting his stomach, he was full. He planned on eating normally, but who knew that after one bite his body took control and started eating like a savage.

Getting up from his seat, he noticed the looks the others were getting him. They showed a look of disgust on their faces, but Yan D. Yu shrugged.

“Thanks Yu Ying for the meal, it was the best i’ve had!” He told her as he made his way up to his room.

It wasn’t anything special, the room was small only holding a twin sized bed. There was a mirror, dresser, and bathroom which was nice. Yan D. Yu flopped down on his bed as he shut his eyes. There was a long journey he had tomorrow, so it was best to sleep early to wake up earlier.

As he started shutting his eyes, a voice went off in his head. “Yan Yu, the Bounty system will be up in a few hours.”

Yan D. Yu muttered ok, as he went off into dreamland.

Time passed and the sky slowly darkened. Everyone started going to their own rooms to sleep, and the two women were downstairs cleaning up after a successful day.

“Mom, why is the sky purple? Isn’t that strange?” Yu Ying asked her mother while wiping down a table.

Yu Xing glanced out the window and sure enough the sky was purple. “I don’t know… maybe one of those cultivators are having a huge breakthrough.”

…..

Two men wielding swords were facing off in the sky. One was an elderly man with a long black beard but had wrinkles. His cultivation was above his opponents. The one he was facing off against was a younger male that seemed to be around his mid thirties. His whole body had different wounds on them, some were leaking blood while a few were healed.

“Cho Ching, do you have a death wish? Hand over the ancient tome and we’ll let you live.” The elderly man told him.

“Screw off! I’ve killed your disciple’s and son, like hell you’ll let me go. Now that this ancient tome is in my hands, you’ve come to kill me!”

“Smart fool, hand it over and i’ll make your death less painful!”

In the purple sky, blue lightning spread out. Vicious booms could be heard throughout the world.

Never has something this strange happened before, even these two cultivators were scared. Did someone oppose the heavens? Surely they wouldn’t get caught in the mix, would they?

The two of them flew down a lower scared if they stayed as high as they were, something might come down to strike them.

In the purple sky, seven strange objects floated down as if they heavens were gifting these cultivators. They floated around in a circle, as they sped up.

Cho Ching and the other man squinted their eyes watching the objects carefully. It seemed to be six different colored fruit and a seed? If Yan D. Yu saw this, he would make out what these were. Devil Fruits!

A shockwave spread out as the seven objects shot out at blazing speed. Not even these two cultivators could catch up to them even at their full strength.

Cho Ching swallowed down hard. “Xia Ming… you saw that too… right?”

“Heavens! The heavens have sent down seven treasures! I must find one of them!” Xia Ming exclaimed as he sped off in one of the directions one of the objects went.

Cho Ching let out a deep breath, the heavens helped him survive. That bastard Xia Ming forgot all about the ancient tome in his hand and went after something he probably would never find.

Just as Cho Ching was about to dash off, the purple sky changed to blue. A giant face appeared in the sky. Cho Ching wouldn’t say that the face was handsome, but he wasn’t saying anything. If he said something, he might be struck by thunder.

No one in this entire world would be able to make out who that was. He was a god, Cho Ching knew it. Although Yan D. Yu would agree with him about that person being a god, he knew that Eiichiro Oda was only mortal.

The face opened his mouth, “The power to shake the world, massive amounts of fortunate, a brand new way to live! Want it? Fine, you can have it… but first you’ll have to find it! Everything you want, is at…”

As the face spoke, it wasn’t loud at all, in fact it sounded like a dying person who had the will to live on. Proud.

This voice spread across the entire world, not just a small section. Anyone who was woke at this moment heard that voice. Everyone who was outside had seen those seven objects disperse in different directions.

It was fully engraved in their heads, they would never forget those words.

Didn’t this mean that the heavens wanted them to find those objects? How could they not be excited about it!

Eiichiro Oda’s face disappeared from the sky as the sky returned dark again.

Unbeknownst to Yan D. Yu, Eiichiro Oda just started a new age of pirates in this world. He was soundlessly sleeping in his bed snoring.
