One Piece: The Eldest Brother

...

When Edam's team made their return to Marineford, the high ranked one who were on their side were really happy to learn that their first mission went well, really well even... while the other side could only sulk in the corner...

Edam was covered in praised for his "exceptional leadership" though he himself didn't see where he had been exceptional in but whatever.... the others were praised for being exceptional ȧssets to the Marine.

Anyways, a lot of thing had happened while they were away, first of all...

Aokiji the Admiral that is... brought back a kid...

Of course Edam & co were surprised, just like how everyone were surprised previously however they later learned that he actually rescued the kid or something like that while he was taking a stroll on his bycicle somewhere... the kid was a devil fruit user and was kind of talented, full of promise for the future yup, down to the fact that the kid didn't knew how to correctly use his power.

As it was kind of bestial, they (The higher up) judged it good to put him under the Rainbow unit for training. And so the kid was taking some lessons from nearly all the members of Rainbow...

Second thing that happened...

There was a strange change in things, all the Marines were provided with weird looking red pills that could greatly enhanced the capabilties of Navy's soldiers.

That was a novelty... a weird one even, they were told that the Head scientist made a breakthrough in his strange science and succeed in creating what he called the Berserk pills.

A normal navy soldiers could only take up to two berserk pills, or he would have to deal with some really severe if not mortal after effects...

However that being said the Navy "capture stats" has greatly increased since those pills were created.

And last but not least, Black snow returned... Finally... unfillial bird...

...

For a whole week, they didn't get any mission to take and could take a break, to their pŀėȧsurė of course. And even cooler they were paid for their first job, they were told that this first payment was to show them that Matine wasn't stingy...

...One day while Edam was quietly reading a comic (that Zaz buy for his birthday) in his comfortable bed in peaceful and calm atmosphere, he heard someone knocking on his door.

He of course stood up to go and open the door and then he saw a delivery guy with a big and long in size package in his arms.

"Ah hello, young man!"

"... Hello what it is for...?" Edam glanced at the package in the guy's hand but still asked politely despite knowing that it was to deliver something.

'... Did I ordered something...? I don't recall having order something... sigh I have to save money...' Edam pondered in his head.

"Yes, hum I was tasked to deliver this package..." The guy put the huge package down to Edam and then took a step back, slightly bowed his head and said.

"Now then, good day to you." He turned around and was then gone.

...

"..." Edam looked at the departing guy and then the package in his hand.

"Uh... Alright..."

He turned back in his small cave and returned to his bed as he sat on it, put the package on the ground and slowly began to unpack this strange gift.

As he unwrapped it, he discovered that the package was actually...

Another package in the package...

"..."

He unwrapped it again and same things...

"It's a joke is it...?"

Edam really did want to burst out, but he thought... 'No it has to be something, who would go to such an extend to troll me apart from Zaz... but he's too poor lately so impossible..."

He reflected on it and decided to play with whoever did this.

And at the end of the day, the true package was actually...

...A Sword ?!

...

As Edam was a bit surprised by this unexpected package, he notice after taking the sword out what looks like a small notice.

He obviously took it and read it.

"A small "behind-schedule" gift for your birthday, just slash the air and you will find out...VP.

PS: It doesn't have a name..."

"Doc...?" A small smile came across Edam face when he read the letter... it was actually his doctor whom he hadn't seen for a good while who gave him a gift.

Yes... it was a full black sheated sword... when he drew it out, he saw that the blade was totally dark-grey...

And most importantly, clearly the most important...

The moment he touched the blade, he felt as if something was coursing through his arm... He felt a sort of weird connection with the blade...

He felt the need to slash this sword in the air...

Feeling really surprise with this strange feeling he decided to go outside to test it.

Holding the sheath with one hand and the sword's hilt with another, he slowly unsheated it and watched it with passion burning in his eyes...

The sword in itself wasn't that much beautiful in fact, there were countless other swords out there wielded by his seniors and peers that were a hundred times greater and more beautiful than this piece of metal in his hand but...

Edam always dreamed to owned a sword like that however... all his money were all going into food or house comfort while the rest to his brothers... so wielding this sword filled his heart with a burning passion through and through !

"Hehe... Alright let's go !" He slowly lifted the sword above and with a violent quick movement he slash down !

The pressure of his slash was sent furiously forward as it cut down one of the few trees in front of him.

"..."

However after the slash, Edam fell completely silent... He was speechless even...

In front of him what look like a gash in the air no in the space even was formed and stayed there.

It very much looked like Zaz's attacks "Tyr's arm" in which he tore apart space with his teeths while it rush at the ennemy but, this one gash just refused to move and disappear... it stood still not moving an inch...

It was only when Edam wanted it to disappear that it actually did disappeared in thin air...

Seeing this Edam smirked and thought...

"Now this is interesting..."

"How did Doc even did it... umm forget it who care in fact..."

...

He then test the sword's power again and again and after a lot of tries and tests, he came to the reasonnable conclusion that this sword held the power of space...

Althought It didn't really seems to be an offensive ability... It just enable him to created what he came to call space's pouches. It allowed to store something in those space pouches...

He tried to see what would happen if you touch the gash by throwing a rocks in it and closing it before opening it again and sure enough the rocks fell back with a thought of his, really convenient indeed...

He even felt that he could connect and join two different pouches to one another, as if he was connecting some thread together, which would in fact allow him to never lose objects as he transfer it to one pouches... In short it works like small portals for objects...

Even more convenient he could decide where exactly the space pouch would appear in a radius of twenty meters all around.

He train this ability till late at night and even discovered even more uses before stopping to go take a shower to sleep.
