Dragon Sorcerer In One Piece

Before Hades teleported himself away, he released the flock of seagulls from their net he placed under the balcony about an hour ago. It was more of an inside joke between Hades and Sengoku as Fleet Admiral almost gave Hades a heart attack last time he disguised himself as a seagull.

Joke aside, Hades did get something out of this encounter. In-depth information about all of the Navy's protocols, secret R&D bases and most importantly, Sengoku's combat and tactical skills. Honestly, it is obvious to see why Sengoku was chosen as Fleet Admiral, replacing Kong as his successor. Unlike Garp, Sengoku has patience and most of all a brain to think ahead to coordinate the troops instead of jumping ahead with a fist.

Also, Hades sends one of the Ninja Khan to find Admiral Aokiji with a Panku box to obtain the demon essence of the Bai Tza, water demon. By the time Hades finishes his conversation with Sengoku, the Ninja Khan completed the mission with a symbol of water (☱) out from the Panku box. The moment Hades pushes the water symbol button, it will summon the avatar of the water demon with all of her ability. For this reason, Hades decided to summon the demon in a selected location, preferably a desert island, Alabasta.

----------------------

Two Day Later, Alabasta,

Walking in the busy street of the port town of Nanohana, Hades is in regular clothing of white shirt and jeans without Revan's metal mask. The plan is to find the isolated part of the desert and release the water demon. Bai Tza is a bit unique since she can control and turn into the water at will. If she manages to gain access to a water source, she will be lost to the One Piece World and nearly impossible to defeat her. For this reason, visiting Alabasta will be a huge advantage for Hades as Alabasta is a desert kingdom, limiting water demon's options.

Before going into the desert, Hades decided to get some food, the same restaurant where Luffy bashed both Smoker and Ace through the walls. After all, this port town is where Ace and Luffy meet each other again as full pledge pirates.

In the restaurant, Hades ordered multiple dishes as it was refreshing to buy items in the real work and not from the system. While eating the food, Hades overheard the conversation between a few customers within the restaurant.

"Hey, I heard Hades here, somewhere in Alabasta. Ever since he broadcasted "The Show', He's been going around Paradise to recruit people and collect tax for his organization." One of the customers said to his buddy as they waited for their food.

"Yea, some of the few pirates joined him. The rumors are that Hades's forces are now 400 men strong. I believe the last place he was seen was the coastal town of Tamarisk."

This conversation got Hades's attention as he didn't remember anything about recruiting or collecting taxes. Someone may be pretending to be him and abusing his authority to his advantage. After finishing his meal, Hades paid his restaurant bills and left the place to find fake Hades.

'It's only been a few days but it looks like someone is impersonating me already. I swear, if it is those idiots from Fake Straw Hats, I will personally chop them up just like I did to Doflamingo.' Hades thought to himself as he asked around for the direction for Tamarisk. After all, there is no way Hades will allow this pretender to diminish his name and make a profit. If the story is true, 400 men strong in Paradise is something that could be labeled as a potential Worst Generation candidate, this, Hades won't allow it to happen.

Still, one thing concerned Hades. That is Sir Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. For someone notorious as Crocodile would have done something to the Fake Hades the moment he heard of someone else making noise on his turf. To Hades's surprise, there hasn't been any conflict between Crocodile and Fake Hades which made it more curious and curious.

Coastal Town of Tamarisk,

"You call this tribute? Who am I? The King of the Underworld and I have standards!" Inside of the bar, a tall but skinny man with a metal mask shouts as he kicks a small treasure c.h.e.s.t in front of a group of pirates.

The man while wearing fancy but crooked black suits and holding a large broadsword with a metal skull attached to the pommel of the sword. Around him, a man and woman are sitting as they witness Fake Hades torment the captain of a random pirate group. The man is a bit overweight, blonde hair and is wearing gold color suits while a woman is in a white dress with a fox fur coat and looks over the '40s as she has multiple wrinkles and white strands of hair on her. Both of them are enjoying the havoc the Fake Hades is making while drinking expensive wine.

"Hades, my man. You can't expect them to meet your level while they are scraping for scraps, after all, they are just simple pirates." A man in golden suits said out loud as he waved his wine glasses in his hand.

"Don't waste your breath on them Hades, just relax and join us." A woman approached Fake Hades and gave him a mug of ale.

"I know Gild Tesoro, but they should know their places if they want to join my organization." Fake Hades said as he killed the captain of the pirates in the bar as everyone else just watched with fear in their eyes. For them, there is no way they could go against a man with a 666 million bounty, not to mention two of the Emperors of the Underworld are with him. The Gild Tesoro the Casino King and Stussy the Queen of the P.l.e.a.s.u.r.e District are not someone they want to mess with but unfortunately for pirates, they have no idea that these three are pretenders and real Hades just enter the bar.

The Hades who just entered the bar wasn't in a present mood as he saw the damage these three are making, The Underworld is very fragile and harsh compared to what outsiders think. From the gathering information to the trade operations, it all depends on the reputation of the organization and the risk a person is willing to take.

In the Underworld, there is a balance between reputation and risk as people do business depending on the scale of these two. For example, people will do business with Hades as he has a reputation of keeping his word while there is a low risk of him not breaking the contract. If words go around that Hades and his organization kills people for petty reasons and collects money without providing goods, this will turn into a big problem when no one will want to do business with Hades or his organization.

"Are you Hades? The man with 666 million berries?" Hades said to fake one as he approached them. Seeing this, many of the customers in the bar began to get nervous as they are about to witness another murder. Meanwhile, Fake Hades and his subordinates turn their head to see a young man in plain clothes demanding if one of them is Hades.

"Did you live under the rock? Of course, he is Hades, the King of the Underworld. Did you come here to join our organization?" Fake Stussy said annoyance as she gave real Hades a disgusting look.

"We don't need this punk, he doesn't even look like much of a fighter at all. Just get lost before I end your life." Fake Gild Tesoro said and approached Hades to which he poured a mug of ale on Hades's head. All of the pretenders laugh out loud while customers remain silent and pretend not to see public shaming. Finally, a young waitress rushed in with a towel to clean Hades's clothes but this was interrupted by the Fake Hades as he pushed away from the waitress and pulled out a gun right at Hades's head.

"I have been demanding food for 20 minutes while a waitress came right to you a second ago and you made a mess. I don't like your face, kid." Fake Hades said and about to pull the trigger but to everyone's surprise, a young man grabbed the gun and crushed it with b.a.r.e hands. Before anyone could do anything Hades kicked the Fake Hades in the c.h.e.s.t, which was strong enough for the pretender to break through the wall and to the next building. Then, Hades grabs the Fake Gild Tesoro face and plants his head to the floor, knocking him unconscious instantly. As for Fake Stussy, Hades just uses his gravity power to make her unable to escape from her seat.

Hades went over the broken wall to drag unconscious Fake Hades back to the bar. Hades removes the Fake Hades's metal mask and crushes it into a small ball. Then, Hades grabs the fake Rebellion and removes the unconscious man's hands which Fake Hades wakes up screaming with pain. Seeing that Hades got everyone's attention, he broke the sword in half and dropped it in front of the screaming man.

"Consider this your only warning from the HADES himself. Do not impersonate him or anyone from the Underworld or else he will be harvesting your life next time. Let this be a warning to you all." Hades announces it to everyone and turns around to take the pretender's treasure but to his surprise, all of the treasure that was next to the table is gone.

"What the? Who took the treasures? Wait, where are my wallet and Panku box?" Hades searches his pants to realize that his wallet is gone, including a Panku box that currently holds a water demon who is one button away from summoning to the One Piece World.

Meanwhile,

Carina the Phantom Thief's POV,

Running away with a huge sack of treasures with me, I managed to steal Hades's treasure without anyone noticing as everyone was distracted. The moment Gild Tesoro pours a mug on that young man's head, I use it as an opportunity as I disguise myself as a waitress. To my surprise, I didn't expect the young man to single-handedly beat Hades and his subordinates. Thanks to that, I stole their treasures and as a bonus, I also stole a young man's wallet and fancy looking box from his belt.

After running away for 10 minutes, I managed to make it to my hotel room, which is located on the corner of the town. After securing the door, I opened the treasure bag to see how much I stole, but for some reason, the strange box got my attention as it was glowing green.

"What is this? It seems like it is an antique box, maybe it is some sort of puzzle box." I examine the box to see the small green button with a strange symbol on it. Now, fully invested and curious, I decided to push the button to see what will happen.
