Epilogue – The Beginning of the End! To the New World!

Excerpt from Shidyk's Journal, Date being October 24th:
It's been two weeks since the whole incident in New Lobby, and surprisingly, nothing has happened since then. Rayo is still out and the doctors here tell me that they don't really know how, but the baka really did a number on his body. They say that it's a miracle he's even alive right now. In the meantime, Nick and Kibo have been busy with something they said was a gift for me for helping save Emma. I got an idea what it is, but I'll wait for it...

Shidyk looked out the window of the house that served as both the home of the mayor and the main headquarters for the Galley-La Corporation. He had been bored out of his mind ever since the whole New Lobby incident and had been keeping watch over his friend, Rayo Verrani, while he healed. Shidyk leaned back a bit on the chair he sat on and sighed remembering the words of the doctors that had looked Rayo over and healed what they could.

Flashback (Thirteen Days before)…

Shidyk gave a yawn as he waited to hear how Rayo was doing. Personally, he knew that Rayo would wake up in time, but his friend would likely be in a hell of lot of pain. So to spare him the trouble of having to heal his own body, Emma had been kind enough to get doctors to heal the guy.

Suddenly the door open, and one of the doctors came out and looked at the grey-haired man, "Alright, we've done all we can."

"And?" Shidyk asked.

The doctor took off his glasses and sighed, "That guy is either very lucky or very stupid. I've never in my entire life seen such a case. His entire body was at a point where it should've just shut down."

Shidyk rolled his eyes, "Listen, all I want to know is if he's going to be okay or not."

The man gave a cough and put his glasses back on, "He'll live. He will be in a coma for Kami knows how long, but he'll like nonetheless."

Shidyk nodded as the rest of the doctors began to leave. The doctor he was speaking to then added, "Keep an eye on him, if his condition worsens, please contact me or anyone of the doctors that looked at him."

End of Flashback…

The World's Greatest Assassin sighed, I should've probably been there…I mean, I'm his best friend for goodness sake! I should've…no. Rayo wanted to fight that guy, so I respected his wishes.

That was when a loud noise was heard from the room Rayo was staying. The assassin rushed to the door and opened it to find that Rayo was gone.

"And they say I'm bad with staying put," he muttered before noticing a note on the bed. He picked it up and read aloud, "Sorry to not stay put, but at a rough guess, I say was out for sometime and need to get back to my transportation job. I apologize for not sticking around, Shidyk, but you and I both have that bad habit of needing to get better. Now that my "inner beast" (I'll explain this to you some other time, for now just know that it is bad) is closer to my consciousness, I have to find something that will make it slumber for good. Oh and two more things: I heard a conversation with the Black Crow and a man called Gavel (nice name, not) and the subject was about you. I also found a book that was from Axe and what he has done so far. I left with you after quickly browsing it so that you can learn what he has been up to. I wish I could say more but I need to get going. If you want, let's meet up at the floating casino, Big Roller.

Signed, Rayo Verrani."

Shidyk looked to the side, and sure enough, he spotted the book that Rayo had mentioned in the note. Shidyk decided that he might as well read it since he wondered what Axe had been up to ever since his last saw him on Drum Island. As Shidyk read the book, he couldn't help but grin at the stuff that Axe and his crew had done while Shidyk had been busy for nearly a month with his job. The meeting with the New World enemies, Dusty's family, and even the fact that Devon and Austin were the children of one of Gold Roger's nakama made Shidyk's body began to tremble in excitement at the thought of having that rematch with Axe.

"Rayo-san, how do you- Where's Rayo-san?"

Shidyk looked up to see Emma looking around for Rayo, "He left some time ago. He and I have this penchant of not staying in one place too long no matter how good or bad our bodies are."

Emma soon came in, holding a few papers in her hands, "This isn't good…the new bounties have just been posted and…"

Shidyk soon took the papers from her hands using his shadow powers and grabbed them as he looked through them.

Shidyk D. Shade a.k.a. "Shadow Fist" Shidyk

Bounty: 532 million Belli

Wanted: Alive or Dead for the death of several Officials, Marines, and the destruction of several islands.

Rayo "The Beast" Verrani

Bounty: 399 million Belli

Wanted: Alive for the death of Rob Lucci, Affiliation with several wanted criminals, Illegal transportation of goods, and the destruction of three islands.

Kibo a.k.a. "Devil Sniper" Kibo

Bounty: 200 million Belli

Wanted: Alive or Dead for the destruction of New Lobby and being affiliated with Shidyk D. Shade

Nick Olas a.k.a. "Lucky Ronin" Nick

Bounty: 119 million Belli

Wanted: Alive or Dead for the destruction of New Lobby and being affiliated with Shidyk D. Shade

Shidyk couldn't help but grinned at the increase of his bounty but frowned slightly when he noticed that Rayo was wanted alive instead of the usual dead or alive. He wondered who would want him alive considering the guy had a lot of enemies.

He looked at Emma before asking, "Have you shown this to Kibo and Nick?"

Emma lowered her head, "I…"

Shidyk nodded before getting up, "If you want I'll tell them for you."

Emma shook her head, "No, I…I need to tell them."

Shidyk could tell that Emma was having a hard time and decided to lead her as they went to the shipwreck island where Kibo and Nick were finishing up the new ship that Nick had promised Shidyk about a week ago.

I wonder how many people will see these posters…?

Deep in the Grand Line…

Aboard their new ship, the Axe-Head pirates were pretty much doing their own thing. Axe was currently napping, DJ Macleod and Devon were training, Austin was currently beating Azu at a game of cards with Pingu, Niri was polishing her guns, Herman was preparing lunch, and Kirsty was doing her inventory with the help of Dusty.

Chizuru, the Axe-Head's navigator, went over the newspaper she had gotten earlier that morning to see if there was anything interesting going on right now. As she opened the next page, four small pieces of paper fell out of the newspaper.

"It must be some new bounties," she mused as she picked them up, before her eyes widen when she realized who the four bounties belonged to.

She then dashed towards the galley and looked to Herman, "Herman! Get everyone here!"

"Why?" Herman asked as he turned one of his eye stalks to her, "Is there something wrong?"

"No," she answered, "but I think they'll want to see this, especially Axe and Azu."

Soon the Axe-Heads were gathered in the lounge, and Axe, who was still rubbing the sand out of his eyes, muttered, "Okay, Chiz, what's so important that you had to wake me up from my nap?"

Chizuru smirked a little as she put the four bounty posters before her on the table, "Take a look at who has gotten their bounties raised and who has a new bounty."

Everyone did and became stunned when they noticed the four very familiar faces. Axe's jaw fell to the floor as he shouted, "What the hell man!? Shade's bounty is still higher than mine!?"

Devon and DJ, on the other hand, were surprised with the bounty of Nick's as Devon muttered, "Man, here I thought that guy was bluffing when he said that he if he got a bounty he would be in the three digits easy."

DJ scratched his nose thoughtfully, "Maybe he used his Devil Fruit or something…there's no way he would get this kind of bounty in one shot."

Devon shook his head, "I doubt it…He looked pretty serious when he said it, remember, Macleod?"

Azu couldn't help but laugh, "I can understand Nick wanting a bounty, but Kibo? He's probably trying to strangle himself if Nick hasn't got to him yet."

Axe then noticed Rayo's bounty and a serious look came to his face when he noticed what it said, "Wanted alive…this isn't good."

Niri noticed her captain's look, "What's wrong Axe?"

"Rayo is wanted alive," he said, "So that can only mean one thing…the World Government wants to do something worse than death to him."

Everyone quieted down at their captain's words, and Chizuru was the one that asked the question that was on everyone's mind, "What would the World Government want exactly with him, Captain?"

Axe shrugs, "Not sure, but…if they want him alive, Chiz, then Rayo has more enemies now that he'll ever have before."

The Axe-Heads were somewhat solemn at the news until Axe grinned, "But still, I'm glad that my bounty still kicks Aniki's!"

Everyone face-faulted at the comment and decided to return to what they had been doing before hand.

Another part of the Grand Line…

"EH!?" Jinko shouted into her Den Den Mushi, "You gotta be kidding!? Are you sure this is Shidyk-kun's bounty!?"

"Ow…yes," the operator answered, "This is the new bounty according to our sources."

Jinko pouted as she huffed out, "No fair! I just raised my bounty up and he does the same thing! I wanted to surprise him by how strong I was getting!"

The operator's tone told her that the person was rolling their eyes, "I just do my job, Jinko-san, I'm not the guy that does the bounties for the World Government."

"I know," Jinko answered as she sighed and smiled again, "Thanks for giving me his bounty. Oh and Rayo-kun's too!"

"Yeah, yeah," the operator commented before hanging up.

Jinko looked at the posters of her friends and smiled again, "You two are always ahead of me when it comes to strength…" she then looked at Shidyk's and a determined look came to her face as she whispered, "Shidyk-kun…I will get stronger for you, no matter what."

With Rayo…

Rayo cracked his neck as he grumbled under his breath, "Seriously…I hate normal doctors! All that probing and the needles!" he shook himself at the thought, "Why the hell can't people take up the Eastern style of medicine! It's so much cleaner!"

Because they weren't taught that way, you stupid ape.

Rayo sighed hearing his inner beast speaking to him. After he had woken up and gotten into his house-ship, Rayo had heard his darker side talking to him as though it were right next to him. Although he knew it was defeated, it would only be a matter of time before it tried to take over again.

"Can't you just sleep and stay silent like a normal personality?"

The creature snorted in his mind, Please! I was able to take your body twice in your short lifetime. Do you think I give up just because of a few minor setbacks?

Rayo had to admit that despite being complete opposites, he and the "Beast" held similar traits, "You do know I won't give in as easily, right?"

Perhaps…but that doesn't mean I will always wait until your consciousness is weak, ape. I'll be waiting and watching until I make that body mine!

Rayo decided to ignore him as he mused over who would want him alive after what he had done. The "Beast" heard this thought, Well, think of it. Who would love that idiot that you defeated and supposedly killed? Who would share such a bond with a dark man bent on killing everyone and joining the CP9 just because he wanted to kill legally?

Rayo's eyes widen when he realized what the creature was driving at, "Are you saying that there might be-?"

A family member or lover that we don't know about? the creature asked, Likely. After all, the file never said his parents were dead.

Rayo sat back on his plush chair as he looked up the ceiling, "Great…why the hell does my life have to have so many damn enemies…?"

Because you and I brought it onto you, the "Beast" answered with a chirp.

"Yeah…if I ever find a way to kill you, remind me to do it."

Sure, sure, the creature laughed as it left Rayo to puzzle out not only the mystery behind his new bounty but the person behind it.

Moments later; at shipwreck island…

Shidyk whistled at seeing the giant ship that Nick and Kibo were finalizing with the help of the rest of the Galley-La foremen. It was a beautiful brigantine sloop type ship with the head of a dragon with its mouth close. A pair of wings were painted on each side and made Shidyk feel as though this ship was ready to take off any second.

"That's some ship," Shidyk said to Emma.

Emma adjusted her glasses as she smiled, "Nick-kun and Kibo-san both put their souls into building this ship for you, Shidyk-san. Nick had the plans ready and the supplies set when he began two weeks ago. When Kibo saw what Nick was doing, he and the other foremen decided that they would help make this ship," she then looked at the clipboard she had been carrying, "It's bigger than the usual brigantine sloop types we make, and has been outfitted with so many ingenious weapons and a special cola engine-"

"Cola engine?" Shidyk asked skeptically.

"You better believe it!" Nick shouted as he jumped down and landed before the two, "When I was a kid, Franky showed me a special plan he had for an engine that would run on cola. I asked him if I could copy the plan and he let me."

Shidyk crossed his arms, "But still…why cola?"

"Cola has a lot of carbon inside of it that reacts pretty violent with basic chemicals," Nick answered, surprising Shidyk on how smart he sounded, "By using that violent reaction, a ship like this can do a lot of things that no ship ever could, and the best part is that the fuel is pretty inexpensive when compared to coal or wood."

Shidyk grinned, "I see. So it's good on the pocket and the ship. Smart."

Nick puffed his chest in pride, "With Franky's cola engine, my ingenious designs, Kibo's weapons, and the skills of all the Galley-La foremen, this ship is the accumulation of Water 7's very best!"

Shidyk nodded, "Thanks, I'll make sure to take care of this ship for ya."

Nick now looked slightly nervous before he asked seriously, "Nma…listen…I have a favor to ask from you, Shidyk-senpai…"

"A favor…?"

Shidyk was then surprised when Nick bowed deeply and shouted, "Please! I want you to teach me everything you know!"

Shidyk stared for a second before he asked, "Come again?"

"I want you to teach me on how I can become stronger!" Nick said loudly, "I'm pursuing a man called "Demon Lord" Yahagi and I need to become stronger if I want to one day beat the bastard for killing my family!"

The assassin understood Nick's feelings but he also knew that if he taught Nick he would be breaking the promise he made his sensei on never teaching outsiders the secrets of becoming an assassin. Suddenly an idea came to Shidyk's mind as a solution came to the problem at hand, "Alright…if you want to learn on how I became strong, then you're going to have to sail with me."

"You mean I can!?" the redhead yelled as he got up.

"Under one condition," Shidyk stated, "I will give you the direction but you're the one that's going to put your weight and learn something."

"Eh?"

Shidyk crossed his arms and tried to look solemn, "My sensei told me that even if you're taught something, it only means something if you apply it in your own way. So even if I teach you something, you better do it with your own style since no one is exactly the same."

Nick looked thoughtful before he nodded, a serious look on his face, "I think I get it. I'll do my best, Shidyk-senpai."

Shidyk nodded, glad that his idea had worked and that he wouldn't teach Nick any assassination techniques that his sensei had passed on to him. He then looked at Emma, who took a deep breath and stepped forward, "Nick-kun…"

"Yeah, Emma-hime?" the redhead asked.

She then pulled the bounty posters from her clipboard and murmured, "They…I…"

Nick looked at his poster in stunt disbelief before he murmured, "I can't believe it…"

Shidyk shrugged, "It's not really a big-"

Nick then scrunched up Kibo's poster as he shouted, "I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT STUPID FISHMAN HAS A BIGGER BOUNTY THAN ME!!"

Shidyk couldn't help but laugh as Nick soon began to chase Kibo, who having heard Nick's shout almost face-faulted before Nick brandished his sword and charged at him, forcing the Fishman to run as Nick waved the sword in front of him in rage. Shidyk, Emma, and the rest of the Galley-La foremen watched them for a while before the pair stopped to catch their breaths.

Emma soon looked at both as she asked, "What are you both going to do now? The World Government knows that you live here and the Marines might come any day to capture you."

Nick looked up from where he was lying down and answered, "No other choice but to go, right, Kibo-temee?"

Kibo nodded, "It would be best…I mean if we stay here Galley-La would be in trouble and since the both of us need to stay on the ship to make sure it stays fixed…"

Shidyk nodded, "That settles it then. If you guys are ready, I say we go and get some distance before nightfall."

Nick grinned as he got up, "No problem there. Kibo and I had a bad feeling and put our stuff here ahead of time."

Kibo looked at the redhead, "You mean you got my stuff too?"

Nick shrugged, "I'm no good at the weapons system and they were bound to give you a bounty," in a low voice he growled, "although it wasn't supposed to be bigger than mine…"

Shidyk chuckled as he motioned both to get on the ship, "Let's get going then…It's time we headed to that place…"

Emma soon touched Kibo on the shoulder, "Kibo-san…I want you to know that…that I knew…"

"Knew what?"

"I…I knew you liked me," she finished, a slight blush on her face now, "And I want you to know that I like you and hope you can come back one day…Please watch over Nick-kun too, okay?"

Kibo was surprised at what she had just said, but nodded as he answered, "Yeah…yeah, I'll watch over Nick-temee…and I'll come back one day…Emma-chan."

Nick soon looked down from the boat as he shouted, "Come on, Kibo-temee!! Let's go!!"

Kibo grinned at Emma before using Geppou to jump onto the ship and help the others get ready to shove off.

At that moment, at the Marines HQ…

Vice-Admiral Merrian sighed as he went into the council chamber, wondering what the idiots here wanted him to do now after he had just gotten back with several criminals of different standings. He had wanted to go and get everything set now for the next voyage when a Marine foot soldier had delivered him the message that Fleet Admiral Sengoku wanted him for an important mission.

I know Sengoku trusts me and all, the Marine thought, But this is getting ridiculous. I have a job to do and he expects me to actually be his dog?

Merrian soon opened the door and called out loudly, "Sengoku-sama? You in here?"

"Ah, Merrian," the Fleet Admiral greeted him before shutting the door and making sure no one else was around, "Alright, could you post some clones outside of the room?"

One of Merrian's eyebrows rose before he nodded and he replied, "Done."

"Thank you," Sengoku nodded before sitting down and sighing, "So have they caught onto your deception or are you still within the Council of Revolutionaries?"

"Not yet," Merrian answered as he himself sat down, "They still believe me to be one of their own. Although Red Wolf has been berating everyone that I should complete my mission."

Sengoku bit his thumbnail as he muttered, "The assassination of Admiral Gintori, correct?"

"Correct."

Sengoku growled under his breath, "I don't want to lose one of our most powerful Marines to them…but if they find out that you didn't follow their orders, then they'll know that we've been monitoring them."

Merrian frowned, "I don't like the idea that that woman is getting on my ship. She's an infamous criminal and should've been brought to justice long ago."

Sengoku now looked annoyed, "I understand your penchant in seeing all criminals put behind bars, Merrian, but the Warden of Widow's Peak promised us that she was completely on our side."

"How do we know that?" Merrian asked, "For all we know, there may be some…I don't know, some sort of key word or something that could make her go back to her old ways!"

Sengoku sighed as he adjusted his glasses, "I understand you don't like it, but as a Marine you know that there are some things we must do even if we don't like it."

"Aye," Merrian muttered, "Aye…"

Sengoku soon looked serious again, "So you will carry out the mission that the Revolutionaries gave you. Once that is done, I want you to see if you can leak any information to us about their activities, understood?"

Merrian stood up and saluted, "Understood, Sengoku-sama."

With that the Vice-Admiral and the Fleet Admiral parted ways.

At that moment, in a dark room…

The Black Crow smiled as he looked at the new bounty that was in his hand. It was that of the man he hated, the assassin Shidyk D. Shade. The smile, however, wasn't one of joy, but rather one that held more malice and insanity than any lunatic psychopath ever dreamed of having.

"You are getting stronger," he whispered, "and soon you will come looking for me…"

Suddenly a Den Den Mushi began to ring and the Revolutionary was forced to put down the bounty poster as he answered it, "What is it?"

"This is Gavel Don, sir!" the voice on the other side answered.

Black Crow sighed to himself as he asked in an annoyed tone, "What do you want, Gavel? I was busy with some work!"

"My apologies, sir!" Gavel answered, "I wanted to tell you about some interesting news that concerned Jeremiah Cross, Stein Madro, and Ned Lowes."

Black Crow couldn't help but become interested at the topic. Cross and him were old friends as it had been Jeremiah who had found him and healed him after destroying the seventh kingdom that had earned him his bounty. Madro and Lowes, however, he could care less as they were mere pawns to him on the great plan he had for the world.

"Well, spit it out!" he ordered.

"They seemed to be ready to pick up some of Cross' family," Gavel answered, "a pair that seem as dangerous as several of Madro's crew members."

"Their names?"

"One of them is called Jason "The Striker" Cross and the other one is his daughter, Amelia Cross," Gavel responded.

Black Crow almost laughed at the names as he knew them well. Jason Cross was one of Jeremiah's sons and Amelia was Jason's daughter, and much like their male family member, both were feared throughout the seas. Jason's nickname came from the fact that he was the best spear-man Black Crow had ever seen or known, and the fact that he was blind and capable of leveling an entire town without his eyes or a Devil Fruit told much of the man's skills. Amelia, on the other hand, wanted to be much like Jeremiah Cross and had study up on poisons and venoms to kill people in mere moments as well as the medicine that could cure them.

The Revolutionary smiled at an idea that had just appeared in his mind, "Gavel…if those two do join the crew…make sure they test Shidyk D. Shade and anyone that follows that man…"

"S-sir?"

Black Crow licked his lips as he leaned back on the chair, "I want you to try, don't bother telling them to do it as I have knowledge that they don't listen to anyone unless they are as strong as Jeremiah or are related in some manner, I want you to try and make them test Shidyk D. Shade and anyone following the man…"

"With due respect, sir," Gavel hesitantly answered, "I have little power and I highly do-"

Black Crow decided that Gavel shouldn't have any more words on the subject and reached out before him. As he did so, his hand and then his lower arm disappear and a chocking sound was heard as Black Crow picture his hand clutching the neck of his subordinate.

"I gave you your Devil Fruit, your status, and your strength," Black Crow muttered, "For you, it should be but an honor to serve someone like me. If ever, and I mean this, if ever you dare question my authority…I will have no choice but let Madro find another man or woman to fill your spot…am I clear?"

"Y-y-yes!" Gavel's chocking voice answered.

Black Crow soon let go and his arm returned to normal as the sound of Gavel panting came from the Den Den Mushi. The Revolutionary then once again made his arm disappear before an apple appeared with his hand a second time.

As he chewed on the apple, Black Crow finished the conversation, "Do as you are ordered Gavel, and remember what I said."

"Yes, sir…" Gavel whispered before the line went dead.

Black Crow finished the apple and crushed the core of the fruit as he chuckled to himself, "So many pawns to use, so little time to use them…"

Later that night, upon a burning village…

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"

The man whose scream echoed through the burning town fell after being thrown into the air, a large hole on his stomach from a weapon that was held by a large, thin man. He wore a pair of dark brown slacks that was held by a dark blue sash along an open gray vest that showed a deep pair of scars on his chest that looked like a cross. On his feet a pair of straw sandals adorned them, and a black bracelet with dark crystal skulls was bound on his right ankle. His short, brown hair was dotted here and there with crimson strands of hair and tied back with a dark blue bandanna. The thing that made you stare the man the most, however, was the scar on his face: it was like the cross-scar on his chest but the side scar covered his eyes while the vertical scar only stretched a little on the left side of his face.

"And that's ninety-nine," the man growled as he twirled his spear a little before slamming the end on the floor, causing a few cracks to appear.

A small applause came from behind the man as a young girl walked towards him. She was likely thirteen as her body was beginning to show signs of maturing. She wore a blue dress that was tied by a dark blue ribbon which's knot made it look as though she had a large pair of butterfly-like wings. Her long, dark hair was also tied with a dark blue ribbon so that it was pulled back. On her feet a pair of black shoes shone in the fires around her and her pair of white socks reached to her knees. A white apron was atop of her dress, and from the shape of her pockets, one might mistake her for being a sugar addict.

"You were amazing, Papa!" the girl squealed as she hugged the scarred man, "You took out everyone that came at you with a big pow!"

The man smiled as he petted the girl, "Now, now, Amelia…You did well in killing anyone that was getting away."

"You mean I get to kill more people next time?" she asked excitedly.

Amelia's father laughed, "Maybe, kiddo, for now you're still only killing thirty men or women."

Amelia pouted as she stuck her tongue out, "No fair, Papa!"

Jason Cross laughed again as he lifted his spear and sighed as he looked back, "How long do you think you can hide from me, bug?"

There was a small "eep" as Jason Cross turned and twirled his spear a little, "You know, just 'cause I'm blind doesn't mean I can't hear or smell ya…hell, even your Ki is pretty loud to my senses…"

The man hiding behind the wall began to run, just as he heard Jason Cross call out, "Tenkei Style: Amaterasu!"

Suddenly the wall burst as a blur came at the man and he momentarily felt something odd before he was split in two. Jason Cross pulled out a small rag from within his vest and cleaned the spearhead just as the blood from his latest victim fell around him but never touched him.

Amelia soon appeared, dragging a man behind her, which would've been surprising given her size. She waved at her father, "Papa! I found another one!"

"Good girl, Amelia," Jason murmured as he turned and walked towards them before Amelia threw the man in front of Jason's feet. The scarred man grinned a little, "What ya thinkin' of doin', bro? Can't be running 'cause I would've got ya just like I did that bastard."

"Please!" the man whimpered, "Spare me! I haven't done anything to you or the girl!"

Jason rubbed his nose a little as he leaned down and grab the man by his shirt and cruelly answered, "One of you pigs called my baby girl a "little fairy bitch," so I decided to take it out on all of you bastards."

"I beg of you!" the man pleaded, "I didn't say anything!"

"Maybe you did, maybe you didn't," Jason responded with a shrug, "But as a dad, my job is to snuff out anyone who makes fun of family. Plus, I don't mind showing why everyone calls me Jason "The Striker" Cross."

The man then felt something prick his arm and a small giggle escape the girl that had out muscled him and dragged him towards her father. Suddenly a pain erupted on the man's chest before he began to scream loudly as Jason Cross dropped him and frowned, "Damn it, Amelia, I thought I told you thirty people only for every day."

Amelia smiled, "Sorry, Papa, I just wanted to hear him scream a little before he died in…three, two, one…"

Suddenly the man's face turned pale before his screams ceased and he laid there, dead. Jason huffed as he picked up his spear and motioned for his daughter to follow, "Come on, Amelia. We're going to meet your grandpa now."

"Yay!" Amelia cheered as she follow her father and skipped as the rest of the town burned to the ground.

END OF LEGACY OF THE ASSASSIN (PART 1)

Translations and Explanations Section:
Okay this is where I tell you a little bit more about the terms I used for my fan-fiction. They may or may not be perfect, so please comment if I had done some sort of error. This is also where you'll find out more about the next chapter.

Tenkei Style; Amaterasu: One of Jason Cross' attacks. He moves at such a high speed that he splits everything that touches his spear.

And here is the last part of Legacy of the Assassin! And now for a few announcements:

First off, this isn't the end of Shidyk's adventures! This is merely the end of part 1 of a trilogy (may change mind you) that I've been planning for a long time. I'm glad everyone enjoyed it and hope that they'll enjoy the rest of Shidyk's adventures as he travels towards the New World.

Second off, in the next few chapters I will reveal a few things about Shidyk's father (including his name, where he came from, and his connection to something important). Shidyk will also be facing tougher enemies and so, I will be reintroducing the Devil King Pirates!

Finally, the characters Jason "The Striker" Cross and his daughter, Amelia, were created for the Dude of Doom. Both were a bit tough in creating but I hope that everyone will like them once I start writing about them.

So no preview since I gave a few hints on what's going to happen! Let's meet up again on LotA: Prophecy!

Shidyk D. Shade
