[Onigashima, Wano country]
In the territory of the Beast Pirates, the main base of where they party after their daily oppression of the country of Wano. Kaido has turned the country's resources to produce his artificial devil fruits to strengthen his platoon. A man known as the strongest beast was currently not present at his throne. The place was deserted as many soldiers were sent to continue producing the artificial fruits and make sure no rebellion happens. The home of the Samurai is now the land of the Beasts.
In a cave near Onigashima, sat an individual, chained up by her own father, Yamato, the son of Kaido, the white-hair with blue streaks and horned beauty. Even though she carries his blood, she denounced him as a father, devoting her life to becoming Kouzuki Oden. She admired the legendary Samurai of Wano, the former Shogun before Kaido and Orochi brought their havoc, those two are responsible for the current state of Wano, her home didn't feel like one...just another jail, her father put her in.
"Kaido–I will kill you one day. " She declared to herself, channeling her hatred for her father, Yamato will avenge her home and lost childhood.
"Ain't this a sad sight?" A voice rang out, she stiffened at the unfamiliar vocals, body tensed in anticipation.
"Who are you?" She questioned, standing to her full height, she stood her ground even if bound in shackles. "Are you one of my father's recruits. " Yamato demanded.
"Calm down with all the questions~" The person calmed her, stepping into the light, she saw a woman.
Tall, tan-skinned, long flowing black hair, and her charcoal eyes held more secrets in them. The stranger lifted her hands in submission.
"The names Angelica Teach...me and you have a lot in common. " She hummed, eyes trailing Yamato's shackles form," Did he –"
"Yes." Yamato interrupted her question.
"This doesn't concern you, speak what you want or leave." Yamato spat out.
Angelica frowned at her response, " That's not a nice way to treat a potential friend."
"We are not companions in the slightest, my body tells me you're not one to be trusted. " Yamato justified, her haki flared as she was tuned to emotions, experiencing the suffering of Wandaily, and developed her observation haki to advanced levels.
"So you're good at haki." Angelica mused, twirling left to right, in personal amusement.
"You still haven't explained yourself. "
"Oh–yes." She beamed, tipping her hat," The name's Angelica, I'm from the West Blue and I'm here to help you." She pointed at Yamato.
"Help me? How do you plan on doing that? " Yamato pressed.
Angelica smirked, "Tell me Yamato, do you believe in dreams?" She retorted.
"As in achieving dreams? Then yes." Yamato nodded.
Angelica chuckled at her response, "I like your certainty, but I mean by believing dreams can shape the world to your will... all of us have one thing in common, dreams. " She spoke," They keep us moving and can make or break our ability to move on, but what if I told you, they can forge our path."
Yamato looked confused, " What are you rambling about?"
"Sheshe," Angelica laughed, "Sorry, I tend to go off topic. What I'm saying is certain men in this world have mastered the forging of fate, men like Roger, Garp, and Whitebeard weren't lucky to reach their glory, they implemented their dreams into reality and all those who opposed them would feel the wrath of standing in a man's path." Angelica balled her fist," If you dream long enough, you'll find what you need, not what you want." She ended.
"And what about reality? Dreams are one thing but reality has nightmares. " Yamato stated.
"Angelica heard her, unfazed by her response, she looked into her eyes, "Watch closely." Angelica showed her arm, the imbs' tan tone became white, thinner, and her fingers had elongated claws.
Yamato gasped at the familiar form, the hybrid limb of her Inu Inu no Mi
"How?" Yamato stammered. Angelica approached her, Yamato took a step back,
"I won't hurt you," Angelica promised, reaching for her shackles. She touched them with her Inu hand, and they froze under her touch.
Crack, crack.
The bindings crackled under the new state as Angelica crushed them, freeing Yamato.
The Ogre Princess looked in awe at her freed limbs, "Thank you." She spoke, marvelling at not being captive anymore.
Angelica seeing her expression, smirked, "Now to fully make you free." She unsheathed her blade, sword gleaming in the light.
Yamato reaching for her kanabo, raised the weapon." Is this still about dreams?"
"Of course~ let's forge them right now." Angelica charged, sword aimed high, Yamato came with her kanabo. The two weapons clashed, creating a show of black and red lightning. A battle that will determine the paths they take.
