Chapter 28. Meeting Whitebeard
"HQ come in. The fleet is about to intercept Red Hair Pirates." The transponder snail in Sengoku's room spoke up.
"So it's time...Attack with full power." Sengoku said to the fleet.
"Understood sir...Wait what's that? Sir five lights have been seen flying up shot by a...White haired kid? Hmmm the arrows split uuOH MY GOD ARRRGG----" The snail cut off midway.
"WHAT?!?! WHAT HAPPENED!!!"Sengoku shouted with eyes wide open. Quickly using the camera snail Sengoku looked at what they saw last.
A teen with white hair, pulling back the string of a bow letting 5 arrows fly, with a blinding light the sky was filled with arrows.
Sitting with a heavy thud Sengoku looked shocked.
"What the hell was that...." He muttered before calling his assistance.
"CALL ALL OF THE VICE ADMIRALS AND ADMIRALS FOR A EMERGENCY MEETING!!!" Sengoku shouted.
It didn't take long for everyone to gather. Playing the clip Sengoku showed them the new person on Shanks' ship.
"Your kidding....."
"What fruit did he eat?"
"Could it be duplication?"
"SILENCE!!!"Sengoku shouted to quite them down.
"Today a fleet was decimated by a single kid. We shall place a bounty on his head, his power is too mysterious. He is also dangerous because he is on Red Hairs' ship..." Sengoku said sternly.
"Maaaaahh, lets put a bountyyyyy on himmm. He could be troublesomeee." Kizaru said to Sengoku drawing out his words like always.
"I say a bounty of 700million." Garp said.
"Oi Garp isn't that too high?" A vice admiral said.
"No Garp is right a kid that can destroy a fleet easily can't be weak. Since we don't know his name he shall be White Archer. Bounty 700Million." Sengoku said zooming in onto his face in the video to make his bounty picture.

Meanwhile, Shanks and the crew are staring at Rei as he decimated a fleet.
"OH MY GOD REI HAHAHAHA!!!" Shanks laughed out.
"Hey Rei are you sure you don't want to join??" Shanks asked again.
"Oi capt you dismissing my sniper king position already?" Yasopp said to Shanks.
"Hahahaha, don't worry sniper king san. My main weapons arn't the bow, I'm more of a close quarters combat person." Rei said untracing his bow.
"So Rei what fruit did you eat? Was it duplication?" Lucky Roo asked still eating.
"Yeah Rei that was cool hahahaha I bet Sengoku didn't even know what hit him." Shanks said with a wide smile.
"I don't know what the fruit was but I can create any weapon even from legends and I can still swin." Rei said tracing different weapons to float around him.
"Woah that's some versatility there, from what I can see you ate a paramecia type fruit. But god damn you can still swim?" Shanks asked gobsmacked.
"Yeah hahaha, but my main weapon are these two beauties here Kyoki and Tengoku, using this ability I made these two swords." Rei said showing them the sibling blades.
"Hmmmm with what I can tell, i'd say these blades are around the same quality as the Saijo O Wazamono(12 supreme grade swords)." Shanks said inspecting the blade.
"So Rei what are gonna do if you're not joining the crew?" Lucky Roo asked.
"Eto maybe just wonder around for a bit to find some adventure. I'll hang out with people that seem fun." Rei replied untracing his blades.
"Hey Shanks, you got anyway that I can improve my observation haki?" Rei asked deciding to see if he can get some tips from a master.
"Ahahahaha Sure! But I don't really know how except that we try hit you and you dodge. HAHAHAHA!" Shanks laughed out as he scratched the back of his head.
"Oh...well can you guys try hit me as fast as you can while I am blind folded? Try attack me quite fast so that i'm forced to see better to dodge." Rei said suggesting the idea.
"HEY YOU GUYS! WHAT DO YOU SAY WE GIVE REI A HAND HERE!!!" Shanks shouted to his crew.
"YEEEAAAAHHH!"
For the next few weeks Rei had never let his blindfold off. In the first week he could see the attacks but only at the last second which he had to make his body react quickly. However, in a fight this last minute panic reaction can only get you so far. So Rei started to push himself to see more, in which by the 4th week he had started to dodge a majority of the attacks. By the 8th week Rei was dodging everything they did albeit they were holding back a little.
"Hey Rei! This is as far as we can go without actual death matches. You need to fight life and death battles which will have you push pass a boundary to the next level. Even if we increased the speed of our attacks it'll do nothing right now." Shanks said as he stood up.
"Is that so? Welp THANK GUYS!!" Rei shouted to the crew.
"HAHAHAHAHA! No problem Rei!" The shouted back in union.
"hahahaha." Rei chuckled.
"Guys serious time, Whitebeard's ship is showing up." Shanks said as he stood at the front of the ship.
"Oya~ so Whitebeard's ship is showing up?" Rei said as he leaned over to the railings and undid the blindfold. Blinking his eyes to get used to the light, Rei could see the huge ship of Whitebeard. The Moby Dick. This colossal ship looked took the appearance of a whale due to the front design of the ship.
"Rei stay back for this, Whitebeard is not a man you want to piss off." Shanks cautioned Rei.
"Mah mah~ It'll be fine." Rei said with a grin. The two months he had with the crew made him alot more playful which could also be due to Lucifer in his bloodline.
"HAHAHAHA, Well just don't piss him off." Shanks said laughing.
As Shanks ship docked next to the Moby Dick, Shanks' playful aura had completely disappeared as he released his conquerors haki with every step he took towards Whitebeard. Rei hid himself as he sent energy into his legs. Jumping up to the top of the sail of the Moby Dick without anyone seeing him. Sitting down on the sails he watched as Whitebeard and Shanks talked. Rei had loved this scene when he watched it, how Shanks talked about losing his arm for the new era.
Looking around Rei could see all of the legendary figures in the war to save ace.
Marco of the Phoenix, Diamond Juzo, Flower Sword Vista and many more.
"Oi gaki(kid). If you're going to watch get down here first." Whitebeard said looking up at Rei.
"Hahahaha i've been found out."Rei said with a grin. Jumping down he could see people watching him in caution.
"Hahahahaha chill guys i'm just here for fun." Rei said sitting next to Shanks.
"Oi kid who do you think you are to sit here in front of me whitebeard." Whitebeard said looking at Rei.
"Hahaha just a curious person, say this has been bugging my mind. Why do you call yourself Whitebeard when you have a moustache?" Rei said smiling widely.
"...."Shanks watched jaw hitting the deck.
"Hahahahaha, are you making fun of me gaki?" Whitebeard threatened as he pulled out his weapon and attacked Rei. Tracing out Kyoki Rei blocked it. The haki clashed as more people where knocked out.
"Hahahaha no but just curious, so Whitebeard wanna go for a fight?" Rei said with his battle loving side showing up.
