Alex was lying on the long stretching branch of a sycamore tree. His face was covered by a sailor cap, his white linen shirt was ripped over perfectly toned abs, each muscle defined, glinting in the sunlight. The leaves of the tree rustled disturbing the man's sleep. Removing the cap from his face, Alex glared up at the sky, his eyes radiating pure terror, A giant wave of crimson slammed into the bird, overkill, yes but he wanted to make every effort to showcase his immensely trained haki. "System, show me my stats."

For his stats he was happy, but Alex knew if he wanted to fight Roger and join his crew, he had to get a blade that would be able to withstand attacks from Roger's ace. All these years of swinging at tree branches had corroded the metal on Alex's blade. So he opened the shop function and immersed himself in the grade swords collection. But this ended up in a dilemma between two supreme-grade swords, Yoru and Shodai Kitetsu. In the anime, these could be billions of berries, but it was just 100,000,000B. Looks like the bounty-hunting days were back, he needed to make some money.
A few hours later, a newspaper bird delivered the bounty list and he found new names on these lists, and he decided on a 500,000,000B pirate, these are the last days of your life he thought. Don Chinjao.
Alex's sloop was rusted and worn out, the mast was bent and there were claw marks all over it, deeming it unusable. There was no way off the island but even half an hour later Alex was still trying to use the ship, he focused and saw the black tinge of armament creeping up his arms and chest, and with a single push the ship was out into the ocean, but after about a mile, the hull seemed to be taking in water at an alarming rate. Luffy hid in a barrel when this happened to him but would that even work in real life? Instead of getting panicked, Alex felt the familiar rush of warmth to his hands, but this time he let the fire burn, out of his hands like jets, and with a yelp of surprise, Alex shot into the sky, his vision a fiery mess. He shot off in the direction of what seemed to be a strip of land. As he flew closer at alarming rates, he was too busy looking at the ships in the harbor to worry about stopping, and when he finally turned forward it was too late and he heard a cracking sound as he ate a fistful of dirt. When he stood up in the middle of the field, Alex noticed the ludicrous looks on the faces of the workers, and with a stupid grin, he walked into the town.
Alex needed a ship, he couldn't just fly everywhere. He walked to the harbor where Alex was told that a brig sloop would take them a week and a half, so he paid them and went into the town where he found a bar and had just started drinking a bottle of rum when he heard someone shouting outside, "Pirates!" "Scum!"
Even the bartender went and hid under the table before trouble brewed, but thinking it was some low-bounty pirate, Alex sat not moving a muscle. The door of the bar was opened and the sound of laughter and cheering filled the small pub. The Bartender peeped over the table and was met with intense dark eyes, staring at him. "Wahahah bring me your finest whiskey man This is a celebration!" cried the pirate.
"Sir there was only one bottle of the expensive stuff and this man is drinking it."
"Care to share some young man?"
Alex turned around and instantly he and the newcomer who was standing in the shadows were locked in a fierce battle of conquerors. Alex's haki a deep shade of purple collided with the other force, burning a bright crimson red.
"Wahahahahahah, this man seems to be strong Rayleigh!"
Alex's heart dropped, his mouth wide, It couldn't be, could this be Roger, could this be the man who he had hoped to meet and join? As the man stepped out into the light his features were thrown into view, a brilliant red coat with a shirt and deep yellow trousers, unmistakable intense eyes, the moustache curling upwards on each side, his dark curly hair tucked inside the famous straw hat. Alex couldn't help but smile.
"I want to spar with you Roger!" said Alex in a confident voice.
Roger looked incredulous and doubled over laughing "Wahahahahahahah!" It wasn't too soon before Rayleigh started chuckling and the rest of the crew joined in too. "What will you fight me with, that toothpick of a katana? Wahahahah!"
"I will still beat you!" Alex said smiling at his sense of calm and; level-headedness.
"Tell you what kid, I have a blade with me a real good one, show me that you can master it then you can keep it and we'll fight."
"Show me the sword, then I will beat you."
