"After that, nothing strange happened, made me question whether that guy was crazy or something." Azul finished.

Azrael looked down deep in thought before Azul put a hand on his shoulder and spoke up.

"You okay there Az, you seem to be thinking really hard." Azul let out a short chuckle with a worried look on his face.

"Y-yeah, it just looks familiar to something I have." Azrael admitted. Obviously he wouldn't say anything about Coal, he doesn't want to out himself.

"Really?" Luffy said with his mouth full of meat. Azrael only nodded at the teen.

"Really now? Well did you find anything strange about it? Any spooky demons come out of it?" He asked.

'Less spooky, more goofy.' He thought.

"You know I can hear your thoughts right?" Coal said from his gem.

'Yeah I know.' Azrael thought with a smirk, not that anyone could see it.

"Well, maybe you can find out if there's a demon in these things." Azul said pointing to his own gem. "Maybe then you can tell me how to get it to come out."

"What are you gonna do after?" Azrael asked absentmindedly. Azul gave him a look, and after a short pause he grinned at him.

"Well, we're going to have a new crew mate joining us. It would be cool to have a demon help us on our voyages, and hey, whoever they are." He looked at the gem. "Maybe they'll make a great friend too." He said with a big smile.

Even though he only met him and his crew just yesterday, he could tell he meant no harm. People would be tense or run away if he was a danger, but they seemed calm around him. So he trust that Azul was telling the truth. Azrael smiled under his mask, before Luffy said something that shocked his crew and himself.

"Ohhh, I want a demon to join our crew too!" Luffy Exclaimed.

There was a short pause after those words left his mouth. That's when Nami hit him on the head that had Luffy groaning in pain and holding his head.

"Hey! Why'd you hit me!" Luffy asked her with a whine.

"We are not having a demon join our crew!" She yelled at him.

"Why not?"

"Are you stupid?! It's a demon! And demons are dangerous and can probably be able to kill us all in one shot! Doesn't matter if you have devil fruit powers!" Ussop yelled from his seat.

The argument continued between the three, while Zoro just shrugged and continued to drink his sake. During this Azrael just looked blankly at the pirates, he was deep in thought.

'His crew's right, demons are dangerous. Especially demons that come from the higher ups, once the host and demon are fused they can probably kill this village with a single thought.' Azrael thought. 'We're a danger.... I'm a danger....'

"Doesn't matter! I want a demon on our crew! Captains orders!" Luffy exclaimed.

"You can't do that!" Both Ussop and Nami yelled at him.
