Chapter Text

A pirate ship lands on a small island in the East Blue. Though to many outside of the East, this crew is unknown. But to some islands, it is the ship of the Constellation Pirates. This was an average day for them. An attack on a small village on island small enough for the World Government to overlook without consequence. But this is not average for them. For today, a small band of pirates had made an arrival. A small band from the New World.

"Alright, kid. Hand over the Berries and we wont hurt ya" said one the Constellation Pirates to young boy. The boy was carrying a small bag of berries he got from his parents.

"N-no, Th-this is mine" he said in fear.

The pirate laughed and shoved the boy down to floor. "I kinda hoped you said that" he said before he grabbed the bag from boy and threw it to the next pirate.

"Why" the boy said only for the man to not hear.

"WHY" the boy yelled louder at the man. The man turned and grabbed boy "why, we needs it" the man said. "The Captain needs enough to heads to the Grand Line and challenge the Pirate King". As he said that, a young woman walked out from a nearby restaurant. "If we can kills the Straw-Hat, then our Captain can be the new king" the man said triumphantly.

Those words caught the attention of the young woman. "What was that?" she said.

The man then turns his attention to the woman "i'm sorry but you must be new. Newcomers have to pay fine to the Captain. Now pay up and-".

The woman interrupts him "Repeat what you said to that boy to me" she said as the atmosphere felt empty.

The man started seeing red as he drops the boy, who was passed out from fear, approaches the girl "i saids, missy, we are takin' berries from this town so we can go to the Grand Line and Kill the Pirate King, Monkey D. Luffy!" he said as his comrades cheer to that last part. The girl stared at him with anger. The environment felt empty. It was quiet. Then the man grabbed his sword and was about to strike but then the girl shouted.

"Maelstrom Blast"

A powerful blast of wind blew the man backwards and crashing into a wall. The man's comrades were left speechless as the girl approached the man with the bag of berries and grabbed it from him.

"What the hell just happened" one pirate said.

"I think that girl has devil fruit powers" another said.

As the pirates start piecing what happened in their minds, the girl gave the small bag back to the now conscience boy. "Who are you?" the boy asked. the girl smiled and before she answered, the men charged at her. Before they could attack, a young man and woman emerged the shadows and blocked the attackers.

"Pay attention, Cyan" the woman yelled at Cyan, who turned around from the boy who began running from the fight.

"Your one to talk, Riley" the man snickered to himself.

"Didn't you wanna attack them first, Blane" Cyan asked the now named man.

"SHUT IT AND HELP US OUT" Blane yelled at her.

"Okay, i wanted to ask for directions to the next restaurant but fine" Cyan groaned. The Three began to attack the now confused and more angered pirates

Blane was the first to attack. Draw his three swords and slicing down the small group he was fighting. Then Riley began her assault. She began by sending a series kicks to a her group before dodging an attack by a bigger man with spiked club.

"Didn't your mom teach you not to fight with strangers" the man mocked as he swung and missed her.

"Didn't yours teach you not hit a lady" she retorted as she jumped in the in the air and kicking straight in the head, send the unconscious man the floor. "Bon appetit, jerk" she said as she landed next to the mans body. Before she could catch her breath, she dodged one of Cyan's attacks. "WHAT THE HELL, CYAN" she yelled at Cyan with anger.

"I'm trying to attack but they dodging" she complained.

"You don't have to use the attack, y'know" Blane pointed out as he helped out.

"I know but i'm hungry" she complained.

"Cyan, Blane, Riley! We got the supplies. We can go now" said two young men running towards them.

"DID GET FOOD" Cyan yelled at them with suspense.

The man with the fur "coat" then responded "we wasted most of money on food".

Hhen the other man the somewhat-long nose butted in "we have enough to live on until the next island".

Cyan cheered before shouting "Turbine Strike" and sending the remaining pirates away.

"Come on, lets go" Blane yelled before retreating.

"I don't think so" a voice came from behind the group. there, a man holding a box stands.

"What do you want?" Riley asked.

"I want to know you" the box responded. The group is confused and then startled after says "OPEN THE BOX, YOU FOOLS." the man with the, now visible, antlers opens and is shocked by what is inside.

"IT'S AN EYEBALL" he yelped and attracting the others to see.

"i can see you now. Tell me your names" it asked at the group.

"Like hell we will" Blane responded.

"My name is Monkey D. Cyan" she responded to the eye.

"DON'T ANSWER IT" Blane yelled her

"Might as well get introduce ourselves" Riley said "The names Vinsmoke Riley".

"My name is Tony Tony Rex" the man with the antlers also responded.

Blane groaned in anger and then gave in "I am Roronoa Blane".

Then the semi-long nosed man spoke up with false confidence "And I am the great warrior Joel".

"I see" the eye said "I may as well introduce myself" it began to rise from the box and into the air. "You may call me "Star-Gazer".

Chapter Text

After sending one of the Constellation Pirates flying into a wall, Cyan and her friends end up battling some of the members of said pirate group. But after beating them, a man with box approaches them. Inside the box lays an eye of a person who calls himself "The Star-Gazer"

The group stared at the eye, it had a blue iris and was as big as a cannon ball. It stared back at them unblinking and focusing on Cyan's, well, cyan hair. Then it spoke "Now then. Time to die".

It rose from the box and began to convulse. The man carrying said box dropped it and ran off. Then before our heroes knew what was happening, it shot several smaller eyes at them. Everyone but Cyan dodged. Thinking that he had an easy target, the eye shot at Cyan. Only for the smaller eye to pass straight through Cyan. The eye thought it missed her, so it sent another one then another then another. Only for all of them to pass straight through her. The eye hovered in place, stunned at the fact that all of it's attacks. It then realized what it was dealing with.

"You ate a devil fruit, didn't you?" it asked in calm yet frantic voice.

Rex butted in "She doesn't need to tell you anythi-" then Cyan answered "yeah, i ate the Gale-Gale Fruit".

"ARE YOU GOING TO TELL HIM EVERYTHING ABOUT US" her friends yelled. But before Cyan could answer, the Star-Gazer launched itself at the group. Before it could reach our heroes, Blane slices the eye in two.

The pieces fall on the floor and turn into dust.

"Enough chit chat, we need to leave before his crew comes to take revenge" Blane said as he put away his swords.

"The dumbass is right, we need to go" Riley said to Cyan causing Blane to fume with angry but decided to hold in his insults for later.

They ran toward a cliff at the other end of the small island where they hid their ship. But before they could reach the cliff, a wall of eyes blocked their path. "You aren't going anywhere" it said in the voice of the Star-Gazer.

Riley came to a realization. "You ate a devil fruit too" She shouted at the wall.

"I thought the eye turning into dust was weird but now it makes sense" Rex added to the theory.

"Not to mention eyes don't just float naturally" stated Blane.

"I will not reveal my secret to anyone, let alone some children" the eyes yelled "for if do, people realized that I, Johan the Star-Gazer, have eaten the Eye-Eye Fruit nor will i say my true name so that they may never know me!" they said in anger.

"So your name is Johan and you ate the Eye-Eye Fruit?" asked Joel.

Johan was quiet. "Now you know my secret" Johan said.

"But you told u-" stated Cyan but was interrupted by the eyes.

"Now i must kill you!"

The eyes charged towards them quickly.

But Blane jumped in front of the other 4 and sliced the eye in two.

Yet before they fell, they all shouted "Eyetosis". And with that, the halves turned into separate eyes.

The enemy's troops had doubled.

Our heroes decided to turn back to plan out a strategy only to find more pirates and their captain, wearing a bleached and blood stained navy captain uniform. His hair was red and unkempt. It was the captain of the Constellation Pirates, "Star-Gazer" Johan. Laying his eyes, well non-devil fruit eyes, on our heroes, he smirked and stated in pure joy and malice "found you"

Chapter Text

After Attacking a member of Constellation Pirates, Cyan and crew get confronted by an eye. The eye is revealed to be the byproduct of a devil fruit and now they must escape the island from the criminals. When they arrived to the cliff they hid their ship, they are blocked by a wall of eye in the front and the remaining pirates in the back. Cyan is then confronted by the captain of said pirate group: Johan the star-gazer.

"Found You" he said with a small hiss in his voice.

"But you only saw us a few minutes ago" responded Blane in a confused tone.

"Don't question the captain, ya freak!" yelled one of the pirates. Instead of responding, Blane ignored the comment.

Until Riley commented in a sarcastic tone "Wow, he yelled at you and you didn't want to shred him? Very impressive".

And with that, the two began an argument that rivaled the ones their fathers made.

'While those two fight and distract that eye guy, i can take the herbs and food back to the ship before they get damaged' Rex thought to himself. He grab the bags of groceries and made a break for the ship. One of the pirates noticed and alerted the captain who was making bets with Cyan on who would win. Not even looking, he told his crew to chase after any runners and not to bug him. They saluted their captain and went after Rex.

"Almost there" Rex said aloud as he was almost near the cliffs edge.

But before he could make it, one of the pirates tackled him.

As he fell, he witnessed the groceries fall into the sea. Now he was pissed. "Rosetta Strike!" The pirate that tackled him was sent flying and crashing into a tree. Rex stood up and glared at his assailants. "I may not possess a devil fruit like my mother or father but that doesn't mean i can't kick your asses" he shouted at the pirates.

The pirates that decided to attack were met with a cloven hand to the head and sent fly to either trees, builds, boulders, or the sea itself. The ones that didn't just ran away from the deer-man. After they ran off, Rex sighed and looked down at the edge of the cliff. When he did, he noticed that some of the groceries landed on the deck of the ship.

He smiled and jump down onto the deck to see what survived.

As Cyan and Johan watched as Blane and Riley fight, Joel decided that he was gonna fight the now scattered attackers.

He readied the slingshot his dad gave and fired a lead star at one of the pirates. The pirate stared at him with both anger and confusion. He decides that this was not the day to fight.

A group of the pirates have gathered the strength to fight both Blane and Riley.

They charged at the two who were still fighting. Before they reached them, the two turned there heads and glared at the two. The group ignored the silent warning and still charged forwards. The group was met either blade or blue stiletto. Blane was first to speak "don't butt in. Especially when i was gonna defeat with Madame Snob".

"yeah right" Riley yelled "i was the one doing the beating, Wannabe Swordsman".

Cyan and Johan both clapped as this all unfolded. "STOP WATCHING AND START FIGHTING, YOU IDIOTS!" yelled both Cyan's and Johan's crew.

"But i already won" said Cyan smugly and innocently.

"WHAAAAAAAT" yelled, well, everybody at this point.

"HOW THE HELL DID YOU WIN ALREA-" yelled Joel until it clicked "oh, i see".

Before anyone could react, Johan was launched into the sky by an unknown force. Or at least it was until Cyan yelled in pride "Dust Devil Trap". The pirates who were ready to attack decided to chase after their flying captain.

"Wait, this feels familiar" said Riley. They decided to shrug it off and head back their ship.

The ship was not an old model but wasn't new either. It had yellow paint bottom half and grey on top with white railing. It was able to carry 7 passengers with the sleeping quarters for said passengers. It's figurehead was that of a cartoon antelope, similar to that of their parents old ship, The Going Merry, and is it's flag. It waved that flag proudly in the air. The flag had a skull that was coloured a light blue and 4 gusts of wind blowing behind the skull instead of bones. It was the proud flag of Cyan's crew.

And the ship's name was The Treasure Grazer.

As they jumped on board, they noticed a lot more food and medicine than what Rex had stated. They then noticed the boy Cyan saved earlier with a bunch of other villagers saying goodbye. Cyan smiled and waved back before ordering Joel to set sail.

As the sails began to unfold, the captain jumped on a chair that had been placed for this moment and jumped in the air. She then yelled the words that began their journey: "Sailing Gales".

She made winds strong enough to get the ship to a nearby wind.

As they ship left, the boy asked his mom who are they. The Woman responded "I have no idea but whoever they are, they aren't gonna be forgotten anytime soon".

To Be Continued....

Chapter Text

Nearly 25 years ago, Pirate King Luffy finds the ever elusive One Piece. Upon it's discovery, it shatters into 11 shards. A message from the previous King warns its nature and tells him to give the shards to others. Luffy, hearing his idol beg, decides to give 9 to a group of pirates called The Worst Generation. The one that wasn't given stayed on Raftel, waiting for a worthy pirate to claim it and continuing the pirate era.

A pirate ship exits a fog bank. Its entire body was covered in slashes and burns while half of the crew that call the their home lay dead from similar slashes.

One of the remaining crew runs into the captains quarters. "Captain Coal, sir. We just left the Reapers Fog." the injured pirate said.

The captain gets up from his mirror covered chair and walks over to his subordinate. "Knock the corpses overboard and tell the others to get ready" he ordered. The pirate salutes him and runs, or in this case limps fast, out the door. The captain walks over to a desk and presses a button. The ship starts to rumble as he smiles to himself.

"Its showtime".

Meanwhile, Our heroes lay on the deck of The Grazer. It had been a week since their fight with Johan and they are bored. And by they, i mean Cyan and Joel.

"Riley, food!" yelled Cyan. She is the captain of the crew. She is smarter than her father but not by much. It's like comparing a fly with an ant. She also has the trademark narcolepsy and hunger of her father. She had eaten the gale-gale fruit at a young age and is now a wind woman. Her parents are Luffy and Bonney.

"It wouldn't be this long if you hadn't raided the fridge." snapped Blane. He is the first mate of the crew and the resident swordsman. He is pretty much a purple haired version of his father. People say he has the devil's eyes but he got them from his mom. His parents are Zoro and Perona.

"And who was supposed to guard the fridge, Ghost Face" retorted Riley. She is cook of ship. Her attitude is similar to an angry Scotsman. She had a near permanent scowl on her face and, like her father, smoked like a chimney. Her parents are Sanji and Pudding

"Can you two not fight?!?!" Joel exclaimed while Blane and Riley were squaring up. He is the resident sniper and tinkerer. He is a paler, blonde version of his dad and, like his dad, lies like it was going out of style. Unlike his dad, though, he isn't as cowardice and uses his lies to strike. His parents are Usopp and Kaya.

"Yeah, I'm not gonna treat any of your wounds again" added Rex. His parents are Robin and Chopper. Don't ask how, neither he or his parents can explain. He is the Doctor and Archaeologist of the crew. He resembles his dad's old horn point form.

After that perfectly normal event, Cyan decided to walk over to the figure head of the ship. The ship was built by her dad's shipwright, Franky, to resemble the Merry. It was a perfect copy that was made to last longer. She jumped up on the figure head and sat on it. She and her dad used to watch the sunset on his ship when she was a little girl and, wanting to relive the those days, decided to lay on it to take a nap.

But then a beam of energy strikes the wood between figure head and the ship.

The figure head started falling into the ocean and Cyan, in shock, was falling with it. Before she could touch one of the few things that can kill her, she felt something grab the back of her shirt. She was then launched back on the ship and saw who saved her.

Blane had grabbed Rex and used his antlers as a hook, much to his anger.

"You could've used your swords" yelled Rex as he was dropped.

"They would've sliced through her shirt" Blane said while drawing his swords "Besides, we have a bigger problem than that".

As he said that, another beam hits the sail. Then another strikes next to Joel, starling him. Then a third one goes into the window leading to the kitchen. 

Riley slams the door open and yells "WHO THE HELL SHOT THAT, YOU RUINED THE FOOD". Her 3 eyes appear to made out of flames. Then Cyan stood up and ran into the kitchen. She walked back out with anger and sadness in her eyes.

"Show yourself NOW!!!!!" Cyan yelled out.

Then Joel yelled out "Over there".

Their eyes followed where he was pointing.

A ship. One that cover in slashes, mirrors, and coloured lights. Loud rave music blasted out of unseen speakers and the beams of energy shot out of another unseen source, bouncing around the mirrors, before shooting off in a random direction. The Flag on the ship was a simple jolly roger but instead of the bones on top being there, the eye shot out blue lights similar to the beams.

"I've seen that flag before" Rex yelled over the now deafening music "I saw it on that island we went to".

Then Cyan yelled "I saw it too. What were they called again? Bathe? Raid? Paid?".

Then a loud voice yelled out from the ship "LADIES AND GENTS OF ONCOMING ENEMY VESSEL, WE ARE PROUD TO BUMP INTO YOU ON OUR WAY TO BEAT THE REAPER" it yelled out "YOU ARE NOW IN THE PRESENCE OF THE POWERFUL AND MOST LIT PIRATE CREW TO HAVE EVER SAILED ON THE SEAS, THE RAVE PIRATES".

"Oh right, Rave Pirates. That what their name was" said Cyan, acting like she remembered.

Then the ship began to move toward The Grazer at fast speeds. "Cyan, blow some wind on the sails so we can get out of here!" yelled Blane.

"Nope" She replied "They ruined my meal, so I have to ruin their faces".

"I'm down for that" added Riley "no one ruins a meal and gets away with it".

"DO YOU HAVE A DEATH WISH, TRICLOPS!" yelled an annoyed Blane.

"SPEAK FOR YOURSELF, GHOST FACE" she snapped back.

Before another brawl could occur, the glass ship pulled up next to theirs. The crew consists of a bunch of bony, pale men wearing bright and gaudy clothing. Then footsteps started approaching from behind the losers. 3 figures emerged.

The one on the right was a tan, rotund man wearing a leather jacket, spiked Mohawk, and a literal chain necklace with the words "lit" hanging down and spelled wrong.

The one on the Left wore a grey hoodie, a black baseball cap, and a mask that had sloppily painted flames on it.

Then one in the center spoke up "You are now meeting the captain of this crew, Coal Roxx" he said pointing to himself. He wore a jean jacket with no shirt underneath to show of the tattoo of his crew's jolly roger, black sunglasses, and wore a shiny gold headband to hold up his basalt column-like hair.

"So your the captain of this floating train wreck" said Riley, causing almost everyone on the enemy's yell out in surprise.

The captain stood there with a vein popping out of his head and retorting "listen here, girly. We run these waters like we its king and fools are trespassing". He said that trying to hard to act cool. His hands started to glow as his crew started to freak out.

"Now imma say this once. Give us all your berries and we will leave you alo-" before he finished his sentence, a lead star knocked of his glasses.

"Got him" yelled Joel. His crew started to freak out again, but this time out of fear. Cyan and crew stared in shock at what they saw. Holes. Empty Holes were eyes should be.

His hand started to glow a crimson colour as he started to speak in a sinister tone "Not cool, dude".

His crew started to freak out again, but this time out of fear. Cyan and crew stared in shock at what they saw. Holes. Empty Holes were eyes should be.

His hand started to glow a crimson colour as he started to speak in a sinister tone "Not cool, dude".

"JOEL, WHAT DID YOU DO?!?!?!" yelled Riley as she kicked him to kingdom come.

"That ain't gonna save ya now" Roxx said in a maniacal tone. The glow from his hands moved to his eyes.

"EYELESS" He shouted as our heroes hid behind things to try to avoid the obvious death of them "HELL BEAM!" A bright red light covered Cyan's eyes. She got blinded then something smacks her on the head, knocking her out.

~12 Years Ago~

"Mommy, Daddy" Cyan said as she ran towards her parents with tears in her eyes. Luffy and Bonney noticed this and her tears and ran towards her.

"Princess, what happened?" Luffy asked as Bonney picked up their daughter.

"Riley and Blane are fighting again. I tried to stop them but i got kicked in the stomach" she said in a wobbly voice.

Luffy and Bonney's face turned red from what they heard. "ZORO, SANJI, PERONA, PUDDING, GET YOUR ASSES OVER HERE NOW" Bonney yelled in anger.

The four ran over to the group and saw Cyan crying.

"What happened to her?!?!" Pudding asked.

"Did you try to spar with your daughter and accidentally hurt her?" Zoro asked with an angry yet monotone voice.

Bonney slapped the swordsman "NO, YOUR KIDS HURT HER" she snapped.

Perona tried to slap her for hitting her husband but Zoro stopped her. "Perona, please" he said.

"Blane, get butt here right this minute. You too, Riley" Zoro yelled.

Blane and Riley walked out onto the deck.

"What is it, Pops?" Blane asked.

"One of you two kicked Cyan in the gut, i want you to apologize to her" Zoro said. Blane looks down and apologizes. Then Zoro looked at Sanji, waiting for him to tell his daughter to do the same. Instead Sanji just stood and stared at his daughter with disapproval.

Then he turned to Luffy and said "I think that's enough".

Both Zoro and Bonney punched Sanji on each side of his head.

Then a fight breaks out between the three who dragged Luffy, Perona, Pudding, Blane, and Riley into it.

Cyan wanted to stop it but remembered the kick.

Then Pudding knocks over a box and a bunch fruit rolls out. She stared at it and walked over to see it. It was lighter than any fruit she ate before. It was same color as her hair, cyan, and had strange swirls.

She thought she might as well have a snack while waiting for her Parents, Aunts, Uncles, and Friends to stop fighting. She bit into it and swallowed it.

It tasted awful.

She dropped the fruit and asked her dad, who had been punched out of the fight and was running back into it, "Daddy, why does this taste bad?".

Luffy turned to look at her and saw the fruit on the floor. He gasped in surprise. The noise alerted the others and they saw it as well. Luffy rushed over to the confused Cyan and picked her up. He asked "Cyan, did you eat that fruit?!?!?" he said in a panicky tone. Cyan, scared, nodded. Then all hell broke loose.

Zoro yelled at Sanji "FOR FUCKS SAKE CURLY-BROWS, YOUR WIFE KNOCKED OVER THE GALE-GALE FRUIT".

Sanji yelled back "WELL I'M SORRY THAT SHE PUSHED BY YOUR FREAK SHOW OF WIFE".

Then Perona butted in "DON'T CALL ME FREAK SHOW WHEN PUDDING HAS 3 FUCKING EYES".

Pudding slapped her out of rage and they had to be pulled apart before Perona made Pudding clinically depressed or Pudding made Perona forget to breathe.

Luffy dropped Cyan out of shock and stood there. Cyan began to cry and Blane and Riley, just as confused as her, ran over to comfort her.

Then Usopp ran up the stairs that connect the Sunny to the Rex Nave.

"What is going on" asked in an angry and confused tone.

Bonney, the only one who hasn't been freaking out to much, said "Cyan ate the devil fruit".

Usopp jumped backed in surprise and fell down the stairs. A loud crash was heard that was loud enough to alert the ships next to them (Law's yellow submarine and Kid's mechanical monstrosity). Franky was the first to asked the barely conscience sniper what happened. At first he mumbled something about Cyan and fruits. Then he yelled before passing out:

"CYAN ATE THE DEVIL FRUIT".

The panic spread until every ship had heard about it. Luffy's daughter was only 5.

If this fruit was the Gale-Gale Fruit, then they had a toddler that has Luffy's DNA with a powerful Logia on their hands. Whatever happens needs to stay with the alliance. If this gets out, the navy would unleash a hell storm upon the alliance and their territory to try to kill her.

After a awhile and one cannon being dropped off a crow's nest, things started calming down.

Luffy look around for Cyan but only found Blane and Riley sitting by themselves.

"Hey, you two, have you seen Cyan?" Luffy asked. They nodded and Luffy asked "Where is she?". They shooked their heads and Luffy sighed. He didn't need them anyways. He grabbed Bonney from the crowd and asked her to follow him.

Cyan sat on the Sunny's head, crying her little eyes out and surrounded by seagulls. This was farthest away from the Rex Nave and she was afraid that she would be grounded.

She had always looked up to her father and he probably hater now. Then she heard a voice from behind her.

"Cyan, Sweetie".

It was her mother's voice. She cried harder as she saw her mom and dad walk past the Sunny's "mane" and over to her.

"I'm sorry" she said in a shaky voice "I thought it was a fruit and i was hungry from crying and-".

Before she could say another word, Luffy placed a hand on her cyan coloured hair. He gave a comforting smile before sitting right next to her with Bonney sitting on the other side. "It's okay, dear" Luffy said "We all make mistakes, in fact" he said before pulling on the side of his mouth, causing it to stretch,"thath how i got my power".

Then Bonney chimed in "And mine" she said as she turned a nearby seagull into a chick and back.

Cyan stared at them and asked "Then i'm not in trouble?". Her parents nodded and she gave them a hug. They hugged back.

They stayed there before Bepo walked up to them "Law wanted to tell you guys that they have plan on how to keep this a secret". Luffy looked at him and nodded.

"Also Sanji wanted to tell you lunch is rea-". Before he could finish, a gust of air passed him and the 3 were gone. He ran back on the Rex Nave and into it's mess hall. He saw the 3 of them eating away at their own table(they kept stealing from the others). They all looked happy. Cyan had treasured this moment forever and she will keep it her mind vault until she dies.

~Present Time~

Cyan awoke on the deck of the Grazer with a seagull trying to eat her hair.

She scared it off and got up. Sand. The Grazer had hit the beach of an island and was stuck on the sand. She jumped off to see the damages. She smirked as all she saw was burn marks.

'Thank you, Uncle Franky' she thought. Then she remembers that no one was on the Grazer. Then she heard Rex and Riley run behind her.

She turned around and was tackle hugged by Rex "Ohthankgodyouralive. Ilostmystethoscopeduringthecrashandicould'nttellifyouwerealiveordead" Rex before passing out due to not pausing.

Riley picked Rex up and asked Cyan to follow her. She follow the blonde and the man-deer to small village.

The one that wasn't given stayed on Raftel, waiting for a worthy pirate to claim it and continuing the pirate era.

Cyan and co. hopped on and, with a little help Cyan's Sailing Gales, they were off to kick Roxx's ass.

After 4 hours, they had arrived at Yonnahui or as the gaudy neon sign said "Roxx's Lit Rave Island Base". Blane groans at the sight at the eyesore and says in an annoyed tone "I guess subtlety is a learned trait". The island had strobe lights hanging from trees that led to huge multicolored ball of light. The closer they got to the light, smell of sweat started to fill our heroes noses.

"I hate this place already" Riley mumbled under her breath.

"You can say that again. I can already smell the foot fungus" Rex said causing Riley to jump "You're not that quite, you know". Blane laughs at Riley's misfortune before he kicked into a tree by the angry blonde.

Cyan held in her laughter but she made a mental note to laugh at Blane's misfortune after the battle. The rave music got louder.

"My Dudes," Roxx yelled out to his crew "The time has come to destroy these worthless rocks. After these puny stones, we will obliterate the Reaper than any other island we get to". His crew cheered as mugs of soda and booze were tossed in the air.

"The party sure is lively" the eerily calm yet happy voice of the Masked pirate from before said.

"Sure bet, Flay." The Fat one said to Masked one, Flay.

"It is honor to witness the destruction of the Kazunommer Archipelago, the people of Tamara should be proud" Flay said in a tone reminiscent of a lord or king.

"Say, Roll." Flay said to the fat man, now named Roll, who turned face him.

"Yeah"?.

"I sent some men to salvage the wood of the ship we destroyed earlier. But so far, we've only managed to scrounge up the figure head" Flay said.

"Odd," Roll said while grabbing some chips and a bird leg from a table "Ya think the idiots of Tamara took it?".

"Highly doubtful, it probably sank to bottom of the sea" Flay said with a chuckle.

"NOW MY FRIENDS," Roxx yelled into the roaring crowd "Let introduce to you: THE TRUE BEAM!!!!". He pulled of the tarp to reveal a laser the size of a house. "With this device, we can destroy any living thing that crosses our path. It will be the most lit thing you will ever see" He yelled causing the already rowdy crowd to be even rowdier.

"And now, let's start with this worthless archipelago" the beam began to move. It rose up from a stand pointed in the direction of Tamara. "Count with me, My Dudes, count down to their destruction" He yelled. He and his crew counted from 50 as he put his hand into the device. They counted until they got to 5 when:

"ROXX!!!! SHOW YOURSELF, NOW!!!" a voice yelled from the forest.

A familiar voice.

Like the voice of a woman they thought was dead.

"What was that?" Roxx asked pulling his hands out of the beam with the glowing white light on the palms slowly turning red.

"Uh, no one" Roll said in a panic "No one said anything".

'that brat is gonna kill us all' Flay thought.

"No, i heard that girl" Roxx said. The light had already turned a crimson red as walked near the spot he heard the voice. His crew tried to stop him but to no use. "I'm right here, girl, show yourself" he yelled into the woods.

"Diamond Air Blast"

A powerful blast of wind hits Roxx in the gut, causing him to cough blood, and sends him flying into the snack table.

Then 5 people emerge. The 5 who they thought died in the Hell Beam. "What are you idiot doing," Roxx said while trying to get up "KILL THEM".

With that, the crowd began to charge toward them. "I don't think so, Collier" Riley yelled, kicking one of Roxx's men in the throat and sending him into the rushing crowd.

"Still coming are we" Blane said while putting his third sword in his mouth "Okay, Three-Sword Style: Oni Giri".

And with that, a good portion of the crowd is cut down. "Those bastards are making a mockery of us, don't you know we are!" yelled a rave pirate.

"Yeah, walking kindling" Yelled Joel as he pulled his slingshot back "Special Attack: Molotov Star Combo". A flaming ball and one filled with alcohol where launched and both landed on one of the pirate, igniting him, and sending him into a frenzy.

"Now you've done it, come here" the flaming man yelled and charged towards the marksman.

'uh oh,' he thought 'looks like i have to pull out the big guns'.

Flashback

Joel walked around Tamara, remembering the fight with the Constellation Pirates and how he chickened out. "I need to get stronger" he said to himself "But how". He then saw something, a long sword with a blue sheath. He stared at the blade until a hand blocked his view.

"say say, good sir," the salesman said "I see you are interested in this fine beauty of a blade".

"Yeah, how much?" Joel said as he pulled out his wallet.

"Hold on there buckaroo, do you know what kind of blade this is?" The salesman said. Before Joel could answer, The Salesman interrupted him "This is Rapier once held by a navy admiral. It's one of a kind and barely used. A rare specimen like this cost around 550 berries".

Joel could tell his was lying, his dad not only taught him how to lie but how to spot lying, but he was desperate. He bought the blade and walked away with a near empty wallet.

Later, Joel put the blade on his hip before leaving. "Since when did you get a sword" Rex asked.

"I bought it, you never know when i might get cornered" Joel said with a glimmer of pride in his eyes.

"Do you even know how to use a sword?" Blane asked while he cleaned one of his.

"No" the sniper said as slunk into the boat.

"Might as well teach you how to properly care for one" Blane said before scooting next to Joel.

End of Flashback

As the man charged toward him, Joel unsheathed the weapon. The man swung his arms to try the light the sniper on fire but to no avail. Joel swallowed his fear and swung the blade. With one quick yet clumsy slash, the man falls with a large slice on his chest. "I-i did it, I DID IT" Joel yelled in joy "Take that you brute, I call that one my "King Slice".

"You must be the child of The King of Snipers, Usopp, huh" an eerily calm voice said.

"W-why yes," Joel said in a scared voice before speaking in a more confident voice "yes i am".

He turned to see Flay staring him down "Good, now DIE". Flay charged towards Joel with one of his arms stretched out and hand open. Joel dodged and Flay's hand touched the palm tree behind him.

Joel laughed at Flay's misfortune until he saw the part of the tree Flay was holding begin to melt. He kept holding the tree until it the top part broke off. He turned around and stared at Joel again "Behold the power of the Melt-Melt Fruit. Anything that touches my hand with melt as if made of butter, that includes people like you". He charged at Joel again with the intent to make him a puddle.

Joel dodged again he tried to shoot him a Molotov Star Combo, only for him catch the alcohol ball and dodge the fire ball. "I will kill you, son of Usopp, by any means necessary" Flay said while trying to grab Joel by the neck.

"Joel, be careful!" Rex yelled out.

"I would worry about myself first" a voice yelled out before wheel hit him in the head, sending him flying into a tree.

"What the hell?" he said as he got up from his spot. The wheel stayed in one sport before turning into the fat man named Roll.

"How do you like that That was the Wheel-Wheel Fruit's power, the name says it all. WHEELMORPHOSIS". He turned into a wheel again and charged at Rex. Rex dodged but Roll kept turning and charging again.

Cyan began her search for Roxx. "Rock-head, show yourself" She yelled. A beam struck her arm, causing her to yell out in pain and fall over.

"CYAN" her friends yelled. 'What the hell, how did that hit me' Cyan thought as she stood up again.

"Worthless logia, always thinking you're immortal" Roxx said as he emerged from his hiding spot "I already know who you are, Cyan-bro".

"Wait, what" she said as she regained balance.

"Of course, everybody knows about the bitch who took down a big player in the east. The blue-haired girl with a purple-haired swordsman, a three-eyed black leg fighter, a long nosed sniper, and a deer monster who took down Johan-bro the Observer. Some people have taken an interest in you with your sudden appearance mirroring Pirate King Luffy-bro. That comparison makes me sick".

Roxx then yelled at his lackeys "Flay-bro, Wheel-bro, quit playing and kill them".

"Yes, Captain" Flay before changing his stance to one of pushing nothing "AIR FONDU". The air in front of him began to change colour before moving towards Joel. The small plants in front of the wall began to melt as the wall moved through them. Joel froze with fear as the wall moved closer.

"Got it, boss" Roll said in his wheel form "SPEED RACER". He began to spin in place before launching himself toward Rex. Rex tried to guard with his horns, only for them to break and fall off.

"Dammit, do you know how long my horns will grow back!".

"I DON'T GIVE A DAMN, SPEED RACER" he said before charging again. Before Rex could get hit, Blane got in front of him and blocked the wheel man from turning the doctor/archaeologist into road kill. "Move it, Big Eyes".

"OH THAT'S IT" Blane yelled. He launched the wheel into the air, causing Roll to uncurl, before jumping in the air and slicing the man in the gut.

Riley ran into Joel, causing the both of them to miss the wave of scalding air. "Now then," she said " LET'S END THIS". She turned and charged at Flay. Before he could react, she kicked him in the face. His mask shatters and he falls face down.

"Ha" Cyan laughs "good job, guys. Now it my tur-".

Roxx shoot another beam, this time hitting her hand. She screams and falls again, hold onto the bleeding and burning hand.

Roxx laughs "Now you see why i hate the comparison, your weak. Like everybody else who wants the last One Piece Shard, they die easily. Now the Pirate Kings, those men are powerful. They are gods in the eyes of us weaklings. These people should worship them but instead they do nothing. I will kill for Luffy-bro. I will sacrifice for Law-bro and Kid-bro. But everyone else are but worms to me. They all should DIE".

A red light formed in his hands before separating and moving to the fingers. "You, Cyan-bro, are but an ant compared to them, now suffer. suffer! SUFFER!".

"LASER SMITE SHOW".

From each finger, a powerful beam was released and struck Cyan. She screams as each beam pierces her body. Her crew watches in horror as their captain gets struck over and over. "Yes, son of Usopp, yes" Flay says as he gets up "Watch as your worthless captain get singed and filled with holes. That's what happens to the people who joins the crew of the son of the MAN WHO RUINED MY LIFE!"

Chapter Text

Nearly 25 years ago, Pirate King Luffy finds the ever elusive One Piece. Upon it's discovery, it shatters into 11 shards. A message from the previous King warns its nature and tells him to give the shards to others. Luffy, hearing his idol beg, decides to give 9 to a group of pirates called The Worst Generation. The one that wasn't given stayed on Raftel, waiting for a worthy pirate to claim it and continuing the pirate era.

"Yes, son of Usopp, yes" Flay says as he gets up "Watch as your worthless captain get singed and filled with holes. That's what happens to the people who joins the crew of the son of the MAN WHO RUINED MY LIFE!"

Joel and Riley slowed turned to see the man behind them.

His once covered face was now revealed to it's deformed glory. 3/4 of his face was scared and burned with one of his eyes was black with a red pupil. "He ruined my life" he said as his other eye teared up. "What the hell are you?" Riley said.

"You want to know what i am" Flay said, approaching the pair "I am a monster born from your dad's mistake. 5 years ago, i was on that dreaded ship. I was on the Sniper unit, headed by "God" Usopp. I was plucky young one who was excited to work with the Pirate Kings. Then one day, he was showing off his flaming star to us. Then. when he launched it, the wind blew it off coarse and struck me. No one else but me. They tried to claim it was an accident but i know better. I was targeted by that bastard and they tried to cover it up"

He shoved his hands into the ground "Now remember my name, kid, cause it will be the last thing one you hear". The dirt began to turn into liquid "MY NAME IS DONOVAN AND I WILL END YOUR LIVES, ÉTRANGE VAGUE". The earth in front of him turned into a wave of scalding hot liquid and it began to move towards the pair. "Now burn, BURN CHILD".

Meanwhile, Blane and Rex are dealing with their own monster. "SPEED RACER FLAME" Roll yelled as he charged at Blane. He was on fire and was trying to burn Blane. He blocked the wheel with his swords, yet he was still singed. "Hey Rex, you done yet?" Blane yelled. "No, i still need more time" he yelled back, he hid behind a tree to "prepare for the final attack".

"You fools keep talking. The power of speed racer flame ignites my body, i am now Wanyūdō. SPEED RACER FLAME" Roll said before attacking again.

"ALL RIGHT, I'M READY" Rex yelled.

Rex jumped out from his hiding spot to reveal his horns have grown back but they now resemble a cup in a way. "Behold my trick. Due to my genetics, my horns can be detached. After years of training, i can regrow the in any shape. It takes a while but the results are in my favor".

"So you made yourself look like a dope, big deal. I will just break them again, SPEED RACER FLAME"

"BLANE, NOW" Rex yelled before jumping in the air. "Right" the Swordsman said. He grabbed Rex by the leg and point him towards the wheel "ONE SWORD STYLE: REINDEER TRAP". Roll charged into the horns and got stuck. "What the hell," Roll yelled "I can't change back". "The horns are designed to trap anything within them and keep the immobile like a Venus Fly Trap" Rex said "It's easy to enter-". "But hard to escape" Blane finished his sentence before spinning "NOW, REX". "RELEASE" Rex yelled as his horns detached again.

Roll was launched into a speaker where he was electrocuted. He reverted and fell off the speaker, passed out.

Blane let Rex go as the man-deer was gonna vomit. Rex ran to a bush and puke in it. "You should lose some weight" Blane said as he began sit down to catch his breath. "SHUT UP" Rex yelled before resuming.

Back to Riley and Joel. "Riley, i need you launch me at him" he said to the chef "He's occupied on making the wave bigger. if you launch me at him, i can cut him down". She nodded. He jump onto her leg where she launched him in the air. She then jump on a chair from the rally before jumping in the air and kicked him towards the man.

Joel unsheathed his blade and readied it for an attack. "Hey, Two-face." Joel yelled as he got closer "Take this". Donovan pulled his hand out of the water and tried to block the attack but it was too late. Joel slices the man across the chest, ending the battle. "SKY KING SLICE" he say as he put his blade away. Donovan falls to the floor.

The tidal wave of melted death begins to shrink and when it reaches the exhausted blonde, it only melted a bit of her heel's heel before shrinking completely.

Joel walked towards the passed out Donovan before shaking his head. 'He said he knew dad but i never heard of him' he thought 'maybe i'll ask him when i see him again'.

Back at the main fight, Roxx finished his assaulted. "You should have sunk with your ship." Roxx said "But instead, i had to end your miserable life". She was feeling dizzy but she kept standing up. "Why do keep standing" Roxx yelled pointing his finger towards her head "WHY WONT YOU FALL". He shot at her head but she vanished into the wind.

"Who made you the death" Cyan said, appearing behind the man "What makes you think you can dictate whats worthless". The wind began to pick up. "You sneaky BITCH" Roxx yelled, turning around. No one was behind him. "Let's end this" Cyan yelled before her arm turned into a small cyclone "GALE-GALE ROCKET". Her fist launched from the cyclone and struck Roxx in the back. He was launched into the True Beam then into the forest before falling off the island and landing in a tide pool. He was passed out, powerless in the pool, and glasses flew off. His vacant eye sockets where now uncovered for the world to see. Cyan's fist returned to her reappeared arm before she passes out.

When she awoke, it was night and she was greeted with the smell of food.

She was sore and covered in bandages but she still forced herself up and walked towards the pier. She was greeted with Riley grilling some steaks along with Dill from Tamara. She bolted down towards the food before being blocked by a sword. "It's not ready" Blane said as he drank some milk. Cyan groaned before sitting on a rock.

"So you defeated Roxx, huh?" Dill asked. Cyan nodded while she stared at the meat. "Welp, seems like our home is safe. The 'Elder' had been planning to build on the other islands and make this place a country but with the Roxx in the way, our small village was the only thing built. So, what did you do with Roxx and his men?". Cyan shrugged. Blane decided to answer for her "After Rock-hair fell, we all passed out, i was the first one awake and was the first to find them gone. At first, i thought they fled but then i found their ship sliced into bits".

Dill dropped the salt shaker, causing Riley to hit hims on the head "WHAT THE HELL". He stared at the swords man then behind. "Are you sure" Dill asked. Blane nodded. Dill began sweat as he put his hands on his forehead "That means his territory is expanding". "Who territory?" Rex asked as he reappeared from the forest.

"Where have you been Rex?" Cyan asked while still staring at the cooking steaks. "Just picking some herbs for later" He answered "Now, who's territory is expanding?". Dill answered "The Reaper". "The Reaper?" The four asked.

"He appeared a year ago and has brought terror to the East Blue. I doesn't matter if you are a pirate ship, marine vessel, trading ship, or cruise ship. He will always appear within The Reapers fog. He will destroy the vessel with Three Sword Style". Riley stared at Blane with a smug look. "Don't look at me like that Triclops, besides it's not him. Since Luffy became Pirate King, people began to imitate his crew's fighting style in hopes to find success. A lot of people have used Three Sword Style and The Reaper must be one of them".

"The Reaper has brought entire towns to rubble" Dill resumed "So i suggest avoiding the Mist. Say, where are you going to?". "The Grand Line" Cyan answered after she got her hand slapped after trying to grab a steak. "Oh, right threw his territory then. Well, i'll pray for you" Dill responded. "Wait, where's Joel" Cyan asked. "He went to the Grazer" Riley said. She then handed a steak Cyan, who ate it in a second before more.

After the Grazer returned(with the figure head added back on), they set off to resume their journey.

Deep within The Reaper's mist, a light shines threw.

Nearly 25 years ago, Pirate King Luffy finds the ever elusive One Piece. Upon it's discovery, it shatters into 11 shards. A message from the previous King warns its nature and tells him to give the shards to others. Luffy, hearing his idol beg, decides to give 9 to a group of pirates called The Worst Generation. The one that wasn't given stayed on Raftel, waiting for a worthy pirate to claim it and continuing the pirate era.

"Hey, Rex." Blane said "Have you seen Cyan?". Rex thought for a moment before answering "Have you checked the crows nest?". Blane thought about it for a minute before running out. Rex followed.

Cyan was staring towards the direction of the fog. She was ready to fight The Reaper and nothing was gonna stop her. "CYAN" Blane yelled "GET DOWN HERE". She ignored him. "Okay, guess I'll just eat all the meat and pizza Riley made" He said, obviously lying. But it worked. She jumped down from the crows nest and ran into the kitchen, only to be met with sea prism chains.

"Sorry, Cyan, we cant let you fight" Joel said, putting a lock on the chains. "But why not" She whined. She tried to stand up but the sea prism began to effect her and she slumps over. Riley picks her up and place her in a corner before turning to Rex. "Guard her or i will cook you into venison" She told him. Rex nodded before sitting on a chair 'She's scary' he thought.

A few minutes later, a thick fog began to cover the ship. "Brace yourselves" Blane yelled out "This is where that Reaper is. Protect the ship at any costs". Meanwhile, Cyan kept trying to convince Rex to let her go. "Come on" she moaned weakly "Let me out of these". He ignored her.

An idea popped into her mind. "Hey Rex" she said "If you let me out, i will do anything you want". This caught Rex's attention "What?". She repeated "If you let me go, i will do anything you want". Rex's eyes widened "Anything?" he asked. "Anything" she answered. Before Rex could do anything, the ship shook. "What the hell" Rex yelled. He ran out of the kitchen, leaving Cyan alone. "Fuck" she yelled out in anger.

The fog was incredibly thick yet Rex saw a bright light on the deck.

'That must be that Reaper guy' he thought to himself. He charged at the light "ROSETTA-". "REX DON'T" The others yelled. Before he could register the response, a powerful punch knocks him to the floor. When he landed, he noticed his crew mates were also on the floor. The person who punched him then put their foot on them and kept them down. "Captain Jyaha, i got another one" the person said.

Then a something jumped out of the water and onto the deck. "Frurararara" they laughed "Good job Fisk". "Teteteka" Fisk laughed "Thanks Cap". "Now then. Those who aren't occupied, see if they have anything illegal" Jyaha ordered. Other people jumped out of the water and onto the deck. They began to search the ship.

"Captain, i found a bomb-thing" someone yelled out. "DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH THAT!" Cyan yelled from the kitchen. 'CYAN, YOU IDIOT' her crew yelled in their head. "There is another one" Jyaha said. "Should i check it out?" Fisk asked. "No, i will" Jyaha said before approaching the door to the kitchen.

Cyan saw the door break open and as a fat yet muscular figure was standing outside of the kitchen. "Hey Fatty, you better fix that. Once these things are removed, i will kick all of your asses" Cyan weakly yelled. "Well well well" The figure said "Looks like these creeps kidnapped some girl". "SOME GIRL" Cyan yelled "MY NAME IS CYAN AND I WILL TAKE THE LAST ONE PIECE SHARD AND BE THE NEW PIRATE KING". Jyaha laughed even harder "And how are you gonna that?" he asked. "Once my crew let's me out, i will fight my way".

Jyaha's mood changed after her answer. "Your crew? You mean those bozos out there?" he asks and she nods. "Oh. Now i see what's happening" Jyaha said with a disgusted look "Mutiny". Before Cyan can correct him, he broke the lock and threw the chains out the door. Cyan jaw opened as the thing turned and brought her back on her feet.

 "What do you think is happening in there" Joel asked as another person kept their foot on them. "Beats me" Rex responded. As they began to wonder, Cyan and Jyaha emerged from the kitchen. "Alright, so we have a situation" Jyaha announced "This girl here is the captain. Or was the captain. It seem these worthless worms turned on her and tied her up".

Despite not seeing them, Riley could feel the anger filled eyes of her crew. "Now, Miss uh- what was your name again?". "Cyan" she answers. "Miss Cyan, What would you like to do with them".

"Drown them" Someone yelled. "Drop them off at a Marine base" someone else yelled. 'We're dead' Joel thought in a panic. 'Forgive me, Cyan, they made me' Rex begged in his mind. 'Such a dishonorable death' Blane complained in his thoughts. 'If you kills us, i will haunt you' Riley thought in her mind.

"Let them go" she answered. "WHAT" Everyone blurted out. "You heard me," She commanded "Let them go". The crew felt the feet on their backs go away. The crew got up and began to run toward Cyan. "PLEASE FORGIVE US" Rex and Joel beg before pointing at Riley "SHE MADE US DO IT". "SNITCHES!!!!" she yelled. "Frurarararara" Jyaha laughed "To be young again".

"Hey guy" Cyan said "These guys are awesome. Guess what they are?". "Frurarara, guess we can't hide now. Fisk, reveal us to these fine people" Jyaha ordered. "Right, Cap." Fisk responded before the sound of hands coming together is heard "ILLUMINATE". The ball of light began to glow brightly before light engulfs the ship.

The crew opened their eyes to see that the people who invaded the ship are fishmen. "Allow me to introduce myself, i am Jyaha. I am a Blob-fish fishman" Jyaha said. His skin was pink and smooth. He was big and fat yet he was stronger than he looks. He wore a worn pirate captain clothes.

"And i am Fisk" Fisk, unlike his captain, had green scales. He was smaller yet had more defined muscles. He wore a red vest with a beige undershirt and jeans. The most defining feature of him is the angler on his forehead.

"Sorry for attacking your crew" Jyaha apologized. "But it was your crew who attacked" Fisk added. Then everyone on the ship turned to Blane. "What" he asked.

-Flashback-

The fog coated the ship like a thick blanket. The figurehead was barely recognizable. Blane stared out into the distance, waiting for this "Reaper" to appear. He small a small light appear from the mist and began to get closer. 'What a fool' he thought to himself. He brought one of his blades to his mouth. He readied for the light to get closer to strike.

"Guys, The Reaper" someone yelled. Then several people jumped out of the water and onto the ship. "WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO, BLANE" Riley yelled. "NOTHING, TRICLOPS, THEY JUST APPEARED" he yelled back. "Get him" a figure yelled and charged at Blane. Blane sliced the person in the chest, causing them to fall to the floor.

-End of Flashback-

"WAIT, WHERE ARE THEY" Rex yelled. "We took them to the ship" Fisk responded. "What ship?" Blane asks. The ship began to shake as another ship emerged from the sea. It was a massive blue ship with an tiger shark figurehead. Then the flag was unfurled.

"Wait, that flag looks familiar" Joel said. It was a crossbones and, instead of a regular skull, was a fish skull. Cyan then recognized the flag. During her childhood, she taught to recognize flags by a family friend by the name of Bellamy. One of the flags that was shown was of the Arlong Pirates. She learned of what the blue skinned bastard did to her aunt's home and what he did to make one of her uncle's old captain get killed.

Her face turned pale. "That's Arlong's flag" she said. "ARLONG!" her crew repeated. Everyone felt fear at once. Everyone but Riley, she had always seen Nami as a second mother more than an aunt.

"Wait, you know Arlong? Frurara, i haven't seen him in years" Jyaha laughed. "Captain, i think you might need to explain to them your relationship with Arlong" Fisk said "They seem to have other ideas of him".

"Crap, You're right" Jyaha said. "Listen. Back in my younger days, i used to be in the same crew as Arlong. I joined a year before our captain, Fisher Tiger, died. While he left, i stayed with Jimbei. After he disbanded the group, i decided to retire from piracy. Or at least i thought. Then in came that Luffy kid and his crew. Boy where they something. They inspired me to rejoin the world of piracy and start my own crew. And thus, the Neo-Fishman Pirates was born".

'Who knew' Joel thought as he clapped. Cyan, on the other hand, was already asleep. "Wake up" Rex nudged her. "Oh, sorry" She said "So what happened after that Tiger guy died?". "THAT'S WHEN YOU FELL ASLEEP" Riley yelled, smacking her captain on the back of the head.

"We invoke the name "Fishman pirates" to scare off marines" Fisk said "In fact, we actually help those in fog and get them across". "Wait, you do what no-" Joel tried to ask but then sound of a blade slicing was heard.

Then the Neo-Fishman Pirates' ship began to sink from a slice down the middle. "WHAT THE HELL" Fisk yelled. Cyan turned her head to Joel and Blane, the only swordsmen on board. "IT WASN'T US" they yelled. "I believe it" Jyaha said "Cause i see the bastard". A figure was behind the ship. A figure with 3 swords, one of which caught Blane's attention.

Chapter Text

Nearly 25 years ago, Pirate King Luffy finds the ever elusive One Piece. Upon it's discovery, it shatters into 11 shards. A message from the previous King warns its nature and tells him to give the shards to others. Luffy, hearing his idol beg, decides to give 9 to a group of pirates called The Worst Generation. The one that wasn't given stayed on Raftel, waiting for a worthy pirate to claim it and continuing the pirate era.

"I believe it" Jyaha said "Cause i see the bastard". A figure was behind the ship. A figure with 3 swords, one of which caught Blane's attention.

The figure wore a mask that looked like a skull. It had an area for the sword to be put in near the mouth area. The rest of their body was covered in a black hood and cloak. They pointed one of their swords at the Grazer, revealing that the rest of their body where covered in bandages that looked like it was emitting the fog. The blades they held where black with a red streak on 1 and a blue streak on the other.

The blade in their mouth was different.

It's hilt was a skull and it's handle was a spine. On the top of the skull was the number 2. The blade part was white as snow and emitted a feeling of dread.

"Who is that?" Joel, Rex, and Cyan asked. "That, my friends, is The Reaper" Jyaha answered. The 3 along with Riley yelled in fear. "I know that blade" Blane said to himself. "So you know what it is?" Jyaha asked. "There exist 100 blades that are said to hold the spirits of gods" He explained to no one in particular "The blades are stronger than any that exist. The only one is confirmed, number 1 also known as Michael. But i believe that person holds number 2, Grim Reaper".

"I see, so you know about the blades?" Jyaha asked. "Yeah, my dream is to find them all" Blane answered "Someone, get me closer to him". "HELL NO" everyone yelled. "Sucks for you" Blane said before jumping of the Grazer and onto a piece of the NFP's ship. "Hey, Skull-guy" Blane yelled at The Reaper "I want that sword". "BLANE, GET YOUR ASS BACK UP HERE" Rex and Riley yelled.

"Leave him" Fisk said "He chose his fate the moment he met eyes with that person". Blane put a sword in his mouth before readying to strike. The Reaper walked back into the fog and disappeared. Blane tilted his head in confusion and relaxed a bit. Then The Reaper reappeared behind him. Before he could turn, The Reaper slashed Blane's back. The Sword in Blane's mouth fell out as he yelled out in pain. His crew could only watch in horror as blood sprayed out of the slice. Blane fell to his knees. The Reaper turned to the Grazer and began to approach. Then Blane got up.

The sheathed is his blades, held his arm out in a pose the shape of a T, and stood their. The Reaper tilted their before Blane spoke "Scars on the back are a swordsman's shame". The Reaper nodded before slicing Blane across the chest.

"BLANE" Rex and Cyan yelled out. Riley covered her mouth in shock from the sight. Joel had passed out before Blane even got up. Blane fell on his back, passed out.

"We better scram before we end up like him" Fisk yelled. Cyan began to approach the end of the ship. She stopped at the rail then jumped on board the sinking vessels deck. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING" Jyaha yelled. "You" she said to the cloaked person "You better leave now". The Reaper shook it's head slowly before disappearing in the fog.

"CYAN, GET OUT OF THERE" Rex yelled. Cyan grabs Blane's body and she jumped back on the ship. She dropped Blane in front of Rex "Treat him". Rex nodded before carrying him off to his office. 'wow, impressive' Fisk thought. Then Cyan collapses to her knees. "I could've died, why did i do that?" she said out loud. "YOU THINK" Fisk, Joel, and Riley yelled.

"Frurararararara frurararara" Jyaha laughed "That was quite impressive". "What do we do now?" Joel said, looking around "It could reappear again". "Relax, he left" Fisk said, putting his hand on Joel's shoulder. "What?" he said.

"Yes. We spent 12 years here and we noticed something whenever The Reaper appears and leaves. The fog lifts a bit" Jyaha explains. Joel then noticed the same thing "Oh yeah, you're right". "Either way, we need to leave" Fisk said "He may have left now but he will return". "WHAT" Joel and Cyan yell out. "Indeed" Jyaha confirms "We know a place where you can hide out. It's one of the only islands that we found in the fog, it's called Lovushka Island".

"Okay then" Cyan nods "Onward to Lovushka Island".

"What a fool" a figure said putting their sword away. It was The Reaper, their voice distorted by their mask. "I can't tell if it was honor or stupidity but that kid. I can't take her life, not yet." They said "Now then. Time to visit that ship. They seem to keep living".

After a day of foggy travel, the crew has arrived on a small island. "Here we are" Jyaha said as he lowered a ladder "Welcome to Lovushka Island also known as our HQ". The fog covered the landscape like thin blanket. Other than a building no bigger than their ship, the island was covered in ruins. "What happened here?" Rex said, carrying the unconscious body of Blane.

"Lovushka was once the home of a small yet powerful city-state. The ruler was corrupt and used to use his female subjects for his sick pleasure" Fisk explained causing the newcomers to grimace "Then, one day, everything changed. One of the Ruler's many children was found dead, cause of death was a slash on his neck. Then a thick fog covered the Island. Then everyone but the islands women and children where sliced one by one until only the Ruler survived. The marines believed he was responsible and he was arrested and later executed. But the fog stayed and grew. From the fog came The Reaper, or so they say. It is believed the child's mom killed him as sacrifice to summon The Reaper to punish the men of the Island".

Cyan, though glad to hear a story, felt uncomfortable. They where standing on an island where a massacre took place. "We came here a few years later" Jyaha said "so far, The Reaper hasn't shown up".

The let out a sigh of relief as Jyaha laughed, this was interrupted by the sound of someone yelled. "What the hell" he said before running towards the source of the scream. He stops. A figure emerges from the building. It was tall and skinny like a palm tree. From what they could see from the fog, they wore a hat with the brim size of a table and his eyes glowed an evil shade of green.

"Who the hell are you" Jyaha said in a shaky voice as backed away. The figure spoke in slow yet calculated voice "I....am....the....Titan".

Skal began to yell "I won't...let you win. This....is my....victory. THIS....IS....MY....HOME".

"What" Cyan said in confusion. "!2 years ago,....my father died. The Reaper....killed him.....and all the men....here. The beast....spared me. I was 12. Since then,......i vowed....to take....his place.....AS KING".

"Nice story" Cyan said before charging "But i don't care". She sent another punch that was blocked. "Foolish....WOMAN" Skal yelled as he began to flail his sword wildly before attacking normally. Cyan smirked 'that's you're weakness'.

"Bastard" Riley yelled, her face bloodied from attack after attack. "What's the matter," Fisk taunted "getting tired? Why don't you lie DOWN" He yelled while swinging at Riley. "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU" She yelled at him "WHY ACT ALL BUDDY BUDDY WHEN YOU KNEW ABOUT THIS". He laughed "Why should i sound the horn for a sneak attack".

He charged and was blocked by Riley. Her leg was aching as she kept blocking. "Just give up" Fisk said "No one will remember you, three-eyed woman".

"Drop dead, Fish" Riley said in a struggled tone. Riley kept blocking, even when she heard something cracking. 'Can't keep this up,' she thought 'i have to take the punch or my days of kicking are over'. She stopped blocking and she was launched by the punch into a tree. "Have you given up?" The Fishman said. She got up, leg pulsing like a heart, and said between coughs "Not yet".

She charged at him. He guarded her kicking assault. She stopped to take a breath but she kept dodging his attacks. She then realized something.

After Fisk threw another punch, jump onto his arm then jumped into the air. She brought her heel part of her high heels onto his left shoulder. The sound of both the heel snapping and his shoulder breaking filled the air. He screamed in as she landed. She lost balance and almost fell. 'bad idea' she thought. "You bitch" he swore threw his teeth.

His left arms swayed back and forth as swung at her with his right. She kept hopping away before she saw an opening and took it. With the same leg with the broken shoe, she swung it on the left side of his head. The bulb at the end of his angler bursts as her shoe struck him. He was launched into a boulder. He coughed blood before passing out.

"That takes care of that" she said before hearing hearing the sound of blades clashing "Must be Ghost Face and that Reaper guy".

Blades clashed against each other. Blane and The Reaper kept fighting. Other that first slash, The Reaper remained untouched. "What the hell even are you" Blane yelled as he kept attacking. He can hear the sound of his swords start to crack. 'If this keeps up, i'm done for' he thought before seeing someone in the corner of his eye.

He crouched before jumping at The Reaper "THREE SWORD STYLE: TRIPLE ASSAULT SLASH". The Reaper slashed upwards, breaking the blades and sending in the air. "NOW" Blane yelled. Riley jump from behind him. She kicked the bigger pieces toward the masked swordsman. The shards of metal rained upon him and, despite his efforts, almost all of them slashed him.

Then a piece with the tip of the blade pierced his mask. It began to crack and fall apart. The Reaper grabbed the sword in the mouth part of the mask and vanished into the fog, leaving his other swords behind. "That takes care of that" Blane said. He walked towards the 2 swords and picked them up. He then noticed that the man left the sheaths as well. Before he could think why he left them there, he remembered Cyan's predicament.

Cyan ran around the tall man. "Hey Tree guy, bet your dad sucked as a leader" She shouted. "SHUT UP" Skal yelled as he swung a large ax around. The floor was littered with broken weapon figures. "YOU SHOULD KNOW YOUR PLACE" He yelled before swinging his ax multiple times to try to attack her.

"Too slow, buddy" she chuckled "Now WIND BALL". A small ball of wind formed in her palm and she tossed it at him. It struck him in the face, causing him to break his nose. But then he noticed that Cyan has stopped. "GOT YOU NOW, BITCH" he shouted. He struck Cyan with the blunt end of the ax, knocking her back. "Good job, Tree" She said before coughing a bit of blood and continuing "You hit me. Now, try to do it again".

Skal gripped his ax hard enough to break it. His bracelet produced a pair of metal clubs with his devil fruit making them larger "FINE". He charged at her while screaming.

Then the ground under him began to break before a powerful blast of wind erupted from it. "DUST DEVIL TRAP" She yelled before launching herself with a wind infused jump. "TIME TO FALL, TREE" a cyclone formed on her arm before she sent it down along with her fist "GALE-GALE ROCKET".

Cyan's fist struck Skal in the chest, where it sent him into the ground. Her fist reappeared on her arm as the dust settled. Skal was knocked out in a crater.

Before she could do anything, she passes out midair.

Blane and Riley found their captain, barely breathing. "WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO" Riley yelled as Blane picked her up, his face turned pale he put on her back. "We need to get back to Rex" Blane yelled before sprinting 'this is not normal'.

Rex was finishing patching up Jyaha when Joel yelled from the crows nest "Rex, Blane and Riley coming". "Where's Cyan" he yelled back before Joel answered "On Blane's back, she must have exhausted herself. Wait, why are they are panicking".

A few minutes later, Rex existed the women's quarter with a face full of fear. He sat on a barrel before speaking "It's worse than i thought, she almost died". The ship wen't dead silent. He continued "She over exhausted herself to the point that, if the fight wen't on any longer, she would have become one with the wind itself". "That's why she was lighter than normal" Blane said as he stared at the floor.

"Is she gonna be okay?" a fishman pirate asked. "Yes. After a few days, she should be up again".

"Alright then," Jyaha said before getting up "Guess we'll be heading out". "WHAT" everyone on the ship yelled.

Meanwhile, back on Lovushka Island. "Damn, kids" The Reaper cursed as he loaded the unconscious bodies of Fisk and Skal on a boat. He sighed before kicking the boat and setting sail. "I can't kill him, not yet. Fight me again, Blane. When you do, we will be equal". He covered his body in a black cloak as the fog began to clear.

"WHY CAN'T WE STAY, CAPTAIN" His crew whined. "Because the fog is clearing" He said before jumping in the water. The crew was confused before noticing that they could see each other. The fog that had covered the east all those years ago is now clearing. One by one, each member jumped into the water. One, however, approached Rex. "Here, give this to her when she wakes up" He said before jumping overboard.

It was a small rainbow tinted bomb that had been modified a bit to be a necklace. 'Isn't that' Rex thought before shaking his head.

"Alright" He yelled "until Cyan recovers, i will be captain. Onward, to LogueTown". The 3 members saluted before preparing to set sail.

15 years ago, Lovushka Island was home to the Pariporu Empire. It was small yet it was cruel. The king of the island, Pariporu Kain, was a cruel monster. He never had a wife as he didn't want to be tied down. Yet he found a way to release his urges: the women of his kingdom. He would use ladies as his private toys, some as young as 17. The men of the island turned their heads as they feared his wrath. Then one day, a woman who was used by Kain killed her 7 month old son to make a demon appear. During this time, The Reaper had been waiting to exact justice upon the men of the island and that was his queue. He appeared in front of the woman and nodded at her before creating his fog. One by one, he sliced the men of the island into pieces. The king, however, was left alive but was put on the pier along with a bloody sword. The marines near the island noticed and arrested him. He was taken to Impel Down while the women and children where taken to safer places. The Reaper then claimed the island as his.

Cyan woke up in a sweat, her blue hair was all unkempt and her clothes where like wet towels. She noticed the small necklace with note next to it. She grabbed the note and read it: "Get well soon, captain. Rex". She then look at the bomb necklace. She smiled at it then put it on, It fit like a glove. She got up from her bed and walked the stairs that led to the deck.

She opened the door to see, in the distance, the city of the beginning and the end.

Chapter Text

Nearly 25 years ago, Pirate King Luffy finds the ever elusive One Piece. Upon it's discovery, it shatters into 11 shards. A message from the previous King warns its nature and tells him to give the shards to others. Luffy, hearing his idol beg, decides to give 9 to a group of pirates called The Worst Generation. The one that wasn't given stayed on Raftel, waiting for a worthy pirate to claim it and continuing the pirate era.

She opened the door to see, in the distance, the city of the beginning and the end.

"So that's LogueTown" Cyan said with a smile. "CYAN" Rex yelled before clinging to Cyan "OHGODIAMSOGLADYOUAREAWAKE".

Riley peeled Rex off her captain and carried him away. She returned and placed her hand on Cyan's shoulder "Welcome back to the land of the living. You might want to change clothes". Cyan nodded before returning back to the room.

Meanwhile, another ship with people arrived to the island. The person to leave the ship spun her gun in her hand.

Cyan jumped onto the stone pier with bright smile. "WE'RE FINALLY HERE" she yelled out. The island had gone threw some changes over the years. Due to protection from both the independent navy and pirate alliance, the city became a paradise. The execution platform that was destroyed was rebuilt and protected by navy soldiers while the Gold Roger Bar that Luffy visited had become a hotspot for up-and-coming pirates, despite the owners death 14 years ago.

The biggest change is the economy. LogueTown, like many other islands near the Grand Line, was kept alive by products from the new world that come in from the alliance and bounty hunters that return or head to the Grand Line.

Cyan ran in place as she waited for her crew to come down. "For heavens sake," Joel said as jumped down from the ship "you just woke up and you're already jumping around". "Once we return to the Grand Line, we might have to get up for anything" Blane said as he jumped down. "I know but it's just that she nearly died and here she is, acting like nothing happened" Joel exclaimed.

Rex jumped next as Joel continued his rant. "I CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER" Cyan yelled but before she could run off, Rex grabbed her shirts collar. "Wait, Cyan" He said "I can't let you leave yet. I need to stay near you to monitor your health. If you get into a brawl, you might die". She rolled her eyes as she waited for Riley to leave. As she waited, she noticed that the ship's jolly roger was going down.

Riley then jumped from ship and began to head off. "HEY RILEY" Cyan yelled. The cook turned her head and saw her captain walking up to her with a scowl. "Why did you take the flag down?" She asked in a tone filled with murder. "Because" Riley said before turning Cyan's head to a sign near the dock "We don't need to die today".

The large sign had large print that read "This island is protected by Hive Mind Yoko". "Hive Mind Yoko," Cyan said before turning to Riley "Who's that?".

Riley sighed before answering "She is a rising Navy captain who came to LogueTown a few years ago to deal with The Reaper as well as the sudden spike of pirates in the East Blue". "Come on," Blane said out of frustration "I need to get a replacement sword". Riley bit on her cigarette before walking up to the swordsman in anger "Sorry for trying to keep our captain from dying before we reach the Grand Line". Rex walked over to stop the 2 from killing each other, not noticing their captain walk away into the crowd.

A door slams open as a navy soldier looks up to see a female figure in front of him. The soldier stands up and salutes as the figure walks by. "Welcome back, Captain Yoko" he says as she sits down. "Sit your butt down, Grub" She says as she opens the newspaper and takes a sip of her coffee. She reads the headline before spitting the drink on the floor.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?" She yells before reading the headline out loud.

"The Reaper's Fog clears after 15 years of killing" A Vice Admiral says as he points at the newspaper to a room filled with fellow vice admirals as well as one admiral.

"After a day of research," The vice admiral continued "We have discovered the culprit to be young girl by the name of Cyan. After another day, we learned of the extent of her defeats". The image of the newspaper was moved and replaced with 4 bounty posters. "Captain of the Constellation Pirates, Johan 'of the stars' with a bounty of 7 million berries; Captain of the Rave Pirates, Coal 'dj' Roxx with a bounty of 10 million berries; First mate of the Neo-Fishman Pirates, 'Lure of the Depths' Fisk with a bounty of 5 million berries; The son of the infamous Pariporu Kain and the murder of many East Blue residents, "Titan" Pariporu Skal with a bounty of 25 million berries".

The image changed to another bounty poster of a figure obscured by fog "And of course The Reaper. A rare case of a 'name-your-price' bounty due to how difficult he was to deal with. Because of this, we have decided a give this girl-"

"A BOUNTY OF 30 MILLION BERRIES" Johan yelled as read the bounty. "This the girl you told me about" A grizzled voice said in the dark. "Yes, this is the Pirate King's daughter" he said in excitement. "The Reaper's Fog is nearby to LogueTown" Another voice, this time more recognizable, said "If we bag her, we might be able to-".

"Make a quick buck" The gun woman said as she and her gang ate at a table. "Look at the Epithet" Another woman with red markings on her face says. "It's quite beautiful" Another woman with goggles responds. "What's beautiful about being called 'Diamond'" A man said. "It's a lot better than 'The Dog'" Another man said.

Before the 2 could brawl, a bird-like creature on another woman's arm made loud noise before the woman spoke "Indeed, Ryu II, they are idiots". "SHUT IT" The 2 men yelled as another woman with a helmet laughed at their embarrassment. "Quite," The gun woman yelled out to silence her friends noises "We need to concentrate and we-"

"NEED TO FIND CYAN" Rex yelled as the others followed him. "Why do we need to do this, she can fight for herself" Blane complained. "Because If we don't find her," Joel answered him "Cyan is gonna get into a fight. And if she does,-".

"That girl ruined my chance at getting a raise" Yoko yelled as she walked out with a huge coat on. "That girl better hope I don't find her because when I do,-".

"We believe she is already at LogueTown, home of the famed Hive Mind" The Vice Admiral said as the projection snail is turned off and the lights are turned on. "If that is true," The Admiral said after removing the cigar from his mouth "Then that means-".

"I need to kill her, Tulos" Johan begged the man. "Don't worry, Star Man" The man named Tulos said "When we find her,-"

"Thank you for the meal, sir" The Woman with red markings said to the owner of the small store as her friends walked away. "We need the money" The Gun Woman said "Once we find her,"

"She is going to die" Joel, Yoko, The Admiral, Tulos, and The Gun Woman said at once.

Cut to Cyan ringing a bell for worker at a small restraunt. "Hello, is anybody their?" She asked. "Yeeeees" a man with tanned skin and a face mask said as exited the backroom. "Listen," Cyan said "I am going to the Grand Line and I need something to eat before I go". The man nodded before walking to the back. If she had paid attention, she would have heard someone tell the man to spike the food.

The man walked out with a plate covered by a dome. "Here you go ma'am, paella with side of steak" He said before sneaking to the back. "Woah, Thanks for the meal" Cyan said with a smile before devouring the meal. Before she finished the steak, she started to feel sleepy. "Wait why am I soo sleeeepy-" She said in slurred tone before she passed out, her face landing on the remaining paella.

"CYAN" Rex yelled as he kept looking for his captain. "Give it up, Deer," Blane moaned in exhaustion "She's probably fine". "YOU JUST WANT A NEW SWORD, SEA URCHIN" Rex yelled out of frustration. Blane began to steam with anger as Riley began to laugh "Sea Urchin, I like that". "You know what, I'm going by myself" Blane said before walking off. "FINE THEN, WE DON'T NEED YOUR HELP" Rex yelled at the swordsman.

"Wait, where's Joel" Riley said after her fit of laughter ended.

"Now I want you to stop squirming" A man said as he held Joel by the mouth and torso. "C'mon Hoichael, we need to get back to Carol before she kills us" The other man said. "SHUT IT MICHAEL" The first man, now named Hoichael, yelled quietly "If we let him squirm, he's going to attract attention.

"YOU 2," the woman with red markings yelled "Get back to the recon point or I SWEAR TO GOD". The 2 men stood up, with Joel in a headlock, and bowed "Sorry, wont happen again Kodama". "Good" Kodama said before guiding the 3 to another place.

Blane mumbled to himself as he walked out of a nearby sword shop. "Step right up, step right up" A man yelled from a booth "Take a look at this one of a kind blade and place your price". Blane walked up to the idiot to see what he was selling. "You good sir, want to see the blade that I am selling" the man yelled. "Yeah, whatever" Blane moaned before mumbling to himself "If it gets you to shut up".

The man pulled out a sword in a sheath. Blane's eyes widened as he saw the sword.

Meanwhile, Cyan awoke in a dark room. "What the" she said before getting up. "SIT DOWN" Tulos' voice boomed. Cyan listened and sat down. "Good, now shut it" Tulos said, Cyan nodded.

A figure emerges from the darkness with his hands cupped. He was large with broad shoulders and a face filled with hate. "Now then." Tulos said from the man's hands open "Behold, me". A dwarf with a slicked back hair, a fur coat, snake boots, sunglasses, and cigar said.

"What the" Said Cyan in confusion.

Nearly 25 years ago, Pirate King Luffy finds the ever elusive One Piece. Upon it's discovery, it shatters into 11 shards. A message from the previous King warns its nature and tells him to give the shards to others. Luffy, hearing his idol beg, decides to give 9 to a group of pirates called The Worst Generation. The one that wasn't given stayed on Raftel, waiting for a worthy pirate to claim it and continuing the pirate era.

"What the" Said Cyan in confusion.

"Are you not impressed?" Tulos asked. "I guess" She responds. "You're surprised, aren't you? I wouldn't blame you. It's not everyday you come face to face with The Richest Dwarf on this planet" Tulos said with bravado. "Yeah, right" Cyan mumbled, trying not to laugh at the tiny mobster.

"YOU" Johan yelled. Cyan turned to see the angry pirate. "DON'T THINK I FORGOT WHAT HAPPENED" He hissed "YOU TRICKED ME INTO WATCHING YOUR IDIOT FRIENDS FIGHT THEN, BEFORE I COULD ATTACK, YOU LAUNCHED ME". She stared at the raving man, putting her hand on a chair next to her. The man looked like he had lost his mind during the month she last saw him. 

"Well gee, I feel bad now" Cyan said in fake sympathy "Why don't you sit down and we can talk about it". "Well Thanks, my legs have been hurting me for a-WAIT A MINUTE" He yelled "I know your tricks now, bitch". "Damn, there goes that plan" Cyan sighed. A blast of wind shot up from the chair, breaking it in the process. "How the hell did you create that trap". "It's called 'Training to launch a sleeping uncle into the ocean'".

Meanwhile, Joel gets thrown into an abandoned store where 4 women are staring. "Sorry to keep you all waiting" Kodama said as she dragged Michael and Hoichael by the collar of their shirts. "Don't worry about," The Woman with goggles said "who's this". "This, dear Sayo, is one of the Diamond's crewmates". "WAIT, FOR REAL" The helmet woman said as she stood up from a small chair. "Read the room, Abi." The woman with bird creature said. "SHUT IT, APIS, OR I SWEAR TO GOD-". "THAT'S ENOUGH" The gun woman yelled at Abi. "My bad, miss Carol" Abi apologized before sitting down again.

"While they fight," Joel said to himself while crawling back to the door "I will sneak out and warn the others of these crazies". Two swords blocked his path "Just where do you think your going" Michael and Hoichael say as Joel yelps. "Don't think you can escape" Apis laughs as her bird-thing grabs Joel by the back of his shirt and lifting him it on a meat hook. "Now then, let's get to business" Carol said as her friends sit down. "Wait, those name. Carol, Apis, Kodama, Abi, Michael, Hoichael, Sayo. Wait, DON'T TELL YOUR-" Joel whimpers before being cut off by Kodama "The 7 Sins Club".

"Then I'm dead" Joel says to himself. The 7 Sins Club are a group of bounty hunters and assassins that formed in Grand Line 10 years ago. They are infamous due to the fact that they always go for big targets. "You will be if you don't shut it" Abi yells.

"Quite, Abi" Apis says before rubbing the bird creature's head "You're scaring Ryu II". "I'M SCARING THE DRAGON!" Abi yells at the her. Carol shoots the ceiling to grab Abi's attention "Quiet". "Yes ma'am" Abi says. "Well thanks to my idiot friend here, we probably alerted the Marines to our location" Carol said "So, let's talk business before we leave you here for the Hive Mind".

"As you probably know, your captain has a rather impressive bounty on her head" Kodama explains "An amazing 30 million Berries. Quite large, but that's not the reason why we want her". "Indeed" Sayo says "Compared to our last claim of 500 million, it seems like pocket money. But when the pocket money kills the Great Demon of the East Blue, now there's a target".

"I HAVE A BOUNTY" Cyan yells. The man holding the bounty poster sighs before dropping it. "Thank you, Guy" Tulos says to the bald broad shouldered man in a tuxedo. He nods in response. "Now then, why did I bring you here" Tulos said with a grin.

"Kill her" Johan yells which gets him a punch in the gut from Guy.

"No, I have a better idea" Tulos said "I want you to join me". "WHAT" Cyan and Johan yell in shock. "Tulos, I don't want to sound rude but WHAT THE SHIT" Johan yells.

"Think about it, fool" Tulos explained "She has the same bounty as the initial of the Pirate King. If what you said is true, then she can be our ticket out of the East Blue and into better waters". "But I told yo-" Johan tried to say before another man held a blade near his neck. "Thank you for silencing him, Lucid" Tulos thanks the Long haired man in a blue yukata.

"Now then, where were we?" He says before turning around, only to see an empty chair and the waiter knocked out cold.

"DAMMIT" Tulos yells "Find her now! I need her to get to the Grand Line".

Cyan ran down a street as she heard someone yell for her to stop. 'Great' She thought 'they've caught up to me. Guess I have to fight'. She turned around, yelled "Diamond Air Blast", and sent a powerful blast of wind towards the person chasing her. Rex was launched into Riley and they both where launched into a wall.

"Oh crap" Cyan yelled in surprise before running over to her friends. "Are you okay?" Cyan asks as she picks up Rex by the arm. "I'm fine, but I feel an aura of murderous intent" Rex says before Riley threw the man-deer off of her. "CYAN, YOU IDIOT" Riley yells before she tries to kick her captain in the head, only for her leg to pass threw her. "Can you please move a bit so I can hit you?" Riley says threw gritted teeth. "Glad to see you, too" Cyan said, oblivious to what happened "Wait, where's Joel". "OVER HERE" Joel said, hopping as his body was tied up.

"Joel, what happened" Rex asks as he pulls a small scalpel from a medical bag that was hidden by his fur.

"We have to get out of here," Joel says as Rex cut the ropes "The 7 Sins Club is after Cyan". Riley drops her cigarette in surprise "Oh crap".

"Hey!" Blane yelled as he ran over to the 4 "What did I miss". "Where were you?" Rex and Riley yell at the swordsman. "I got a new sword, check it out" he said as he brings out the sheathed blade. The sheath and hilt where made of wood with ancient snake markings on it and the handle was made of soft, rubber-like material. The thing that caught the 2's eyes was the number etched into the blade: 57. "Don't tell me that's-" Rex said before being interrupted by Blane "The 57th sword, Quetzalcoatl".

"Is it the real deal?" Cyan asks as she pushes her friends friends away. "It sure is" He says "This just proves they exist". "Cool, how much did it cost?" Cyan asks. "I-uh don't want to talk about it" he says with embarrassment. "Wait, who held the money?" Riley asks after realizing something. Joel, Rex, and Cyan turned to look at the swordsman who realized his fate. "YOU BOUGHT A SWORD WITH OUR MONEY" Riley yells. "I needed it so we can keep going" He says in a huff "Besides, I still a 500 left".

Before the 2 can get into one of their famous brawls, Ryu II spots them and starts yelling. The noise knocks out 2 other spies: an eyeball and an atlus beetle. "Oh no, they found us" Joel says with a whimper.

"AHAHAHAH" Johan laughed "Seems my Eye-Tracker fell but it doesn't matter, I found you". "Oh great, this guy" Blane said with annoyance. "Hold it, Johan" Lucid yelled, his raspy voice strikes everyone with a sense of dread. "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT" Riley yelled. "The voice of fear" Johan said with a smile "His name is Lucid". Lucid, along with Guy carrying Tulos, ran up behind Johan.

"Found you, you little tramp" The dwarf said with a smirk "Now, have you decided to join me". "Never" She says with a tone of rage "I became a pirate to write my own legacy, not be a footnote in another". "Cyan, please, you still haven't recovered" Rex pleaded with his captain "You can't fight yet".

"Yeah, because a ruined body doesn't give a good price" Apis said as Ryu II lands on her arm. "Whoa, cool bird" Rex, Cyan, and Johan say with wide eyes. "It's not a bird, children" Apis said while scratching her friend's neck "It's a Millennial Dragon. They are found in the Grand Line but return to the East Blue to reproduce. More specifically Warship Island, my home".

"IT'S A DRAGON" The 3 yells with stars in their eyes. "Stop bragging already" Abi said from behind Apis "You're not special, you can't ride the thing". "Yeah, like your Yagura Bull is special" Apis yells with Ryu II screeching in confirmation. The 2 square up before being pushed apart by Carol "Shut it, you 2. This isn't how professionals act". "Sorry, Ma'am" They as the other 4 came between them, with Carol in the center.

"We are dead" Joel yells. "What the hell" Johan says with surprise "Why is The 7 Sins Club here?". "THEY ARE COMING FOR ME" Johan yelled in fear. "We are not interested in a 7 million bounty loser" Hoichael says to the cowering pirate. "HEY, not cool".

"We are interested in the woman who defeated The Reaper" Carol said "Since you started your little journey, you've defeated some well known criminals. Johan 'of the Stars', Coal 'dj' Roxx, 'rolling' Wheel, 'masked demon' Flay, 'Titan' Pariporu Skal, and 'lure of the depths' Fisk with possible teaming with Jyaha 'the brute'. Quite the rap sheet". "Flattery won't get you no where" Cyan says with a smile and blush as she rubs the back of her head.

"We are not flattering" Sayo said as grabs a small vial from her lab coat "We are trying to remind you of past sins". "Edgy" Blane said before hearing a buzzing noise "What is that?". "THERE YOU ARE, THIEF" Yoko yells as she rides a chariot of insects.

"Crap, It's the Hive Mind" Kodama says before realizing what she said "wait, thief? We paid for our meal". "You will DIE, Diamond Cyan" she yells as dismounts the bug chariot. Her Clothing of choice is a black trench coat with the Navy symbol on the back. Her long pony tail swayed over her shoulder as she approached, any bugs near her black boots stared to move away in unnatural speeds "You took my last chance to be a true navy hero away from me, so I will take your life". The Diamond Pirates are surrounded as the eyes of murder stare at them.

"What a predicament" A cloaked figure on roof top said as tossed a small pebble in his hand "Wonder who will win?".

"What a predicament" A cloaked figure on roof top said as he tossed a small pebble in his hand "Wonder who will win?".

In one swift mansion, he tosses the pebble at Joel. He yelps "SMOKE STAR" and throws a small ball onto the ground. The smoke begins to fill the area, blinding everyone there.

"We need to go" Joel said before dragging Rex and Cyan. Blane and Riley followed as the smoke began to clear. The 1st to realize they left was Apis, thanks to Ryu II, and told Carol. "Damn it all. We need to find them" she said as she grabbed Abi "Take Sayo and follow them". She nodded and ran to the water followed by Sayo. The yagura bull pulled up near the shore as the landed on the boat on it's back. "Come on, Pink Fin, we need to find their ship" Abi yelled with a whinny of agreement coming from Pink Fin as she rode away.

"You're not getting away, Diamond" Johan yelled in rage as a flurry of eyes emerged from his palms "I WILL SEARCH THIS ENTIRE TOWN IF I HAVE TO". "Good idea, Johan" Tulos said before turning to his crew "Round up the others and search for her". The 2 nodded. Tulos was set on a barrel before Lucid and Guy ran off.

Yoko was already back on her Insect Chariot as she grabbed a transponder snail from her pocket "All units, be on the look out for 'Diamond' Cyan. Last scene on Historic Crossing. I repeat, BE ON THE LOOK OUT FOR 'DIAMOND' CYAN". She drops the snail onto the floor of the chariot, which assimilates into the ride. 'You're mine, Cyan'.

The day begins to turn to to evening. The cloaked man watches the 5 run toward the Grazer. "So close," he says to himself as he senses someone near "But so far". Ryu II began to descend towards the Rex. "AHHHH THE DRAGON" he yelled in fear. Ryu made a loud yell as aimed for his eyes. Riley jumped in front of him and the dragon into a barrel. "RYU" Apis yelled as she was followed by a Doberman and Maine Coon.

"YOU BASTARDS" She yelled as she ran over to her fallen friend "Don't worry, I'm here". "Wait how did you get here" Riley asked as she began step away from the growling dog and cat. "I heard his yell" She says between cries "I ate the Whisper-Whisper Fruit and I can communicate with animals. I heard his yell of pain". She stands up with rage before pulling a curved dagger from her dress "I will kill you".

She charged at Riley the dagger, only to be kicked as well. "APIS" The dog and cat yell. "WHAT" The Diamonds yells back in confusion.

"Jig's up, Hoichael, they found out" The Doberman says as he transforms into a hybrid form. "Damnit all" The Maine Coon says as it does the same. "Wait, your those two swordsmen I nearly got killed by" Joel yells. "So they're Zoans" Rex said with a smirk. "Yep" Hoichael says "Cat-Cat Fruit-Maine Coon and Dog Dog Fruit-Model Doberman, Respectively". "You should know this, being a devil fruit user, yourself". "What no, I was Born like this" Rex said, causing the 2 Zoan to tilt their heads in confusion.

"Then this should be easy" Blane says. Before he could attack, Lucid jumped of a roof and attempted to cut Blane in half, but was blocked by Blane's new blade. It was painted to look like wood with a sharp ends being black with a shine to it. Meanwhile, Lucid's blade was painted with a pink and black swirl. It was long and ended with a curve. It's hilt was gold with blue glass balls and long tassels with pink and black diamonds on the end.

"Nice sword" Blane said. "How kind of you" Lucid responded "You're looks cool, too".

"STOP COMPARING BLADE SIZES AND START FIGHTING" Johan yelled while being followed by a swarm of eyes. "It's the eyeball guy" Cyan yelled. "JOHAN, IT'S JOHAN" He yelled in rage. "Crap, we need to go" Joel yells. "Right, you take Cyan to The Grazer while me, Blane, and Riley deal with these Weirdos" Rex commanded. Joel nodded and, despite Cyan's protests, he ran towards the docks.

"You're not getting away, SIGHT-FOR-SORE-EYES" Johan yelled as the eyes began to shoot forward like a bullet. Blane noticed and pushed back Lucid, put his new sword in his, mouth, grab the other 2, and began to slice the eyes. "Don't hold back" Rex taunts The 2 hybrid Zoans. "We wont" Hoichael says before charging. Rex caught Hoichael's claws, not noticing Michael behind him. The Doberman Zoan bites down on Deer-mans leg.

Rex yells in pain and lets go of Hoichael. The Maine Coon Zoan scratches the deer face. "This getting out of hand" The cloaked man says, noticing Blane beginning to struggle against Johan's eyes and Riley fend off Apis and Lucid. The man closed his eyes "Guess I'll have to interfere". He opened one of his eye as a shockwave passed threw everyone there. Blane stared as the eyes started to fall out of the sky followed by Johan collapsing. The Zoans also collapsed onto the floor as did Apis and Lucid.

"What was that" Riley said in between breathes.

Cyan was knocked back as a swarm of bugs attacked her. "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON" She yelled as Joel ran to the ship. "I'LL COME BACK AFTER I GET THE SPRAY" he yelled out an excuse. "Too bad" Yoko said "It would have been more fun". "How are you doing this?" Cyan yells in confusion as the swarm began to consume her. "You can thank the Swarm-Swarm Fruit. It let's me control any insect near me" Yoko says as the swarm lifts Cyan up to her "Now it's time to die".

"Special Attack: Bug-Spray Star" Joel yelled as he launched several smoke stars filled with bug spray. "YOU LITTLE SHIT" Yoko yells as her swarm begins to die. "Great timing, now DIAMOND AIR BLAST" Cyan yells as Yoko is thrown into a wall along with the rest of her bugs. "Great, now let's leave this crazy" Joel says before being tackled by Guy. "Ya not going anywhere" He says as an army of gangsters round the corner. "I'm not done yet" Yoko said a she got up "NOW THEN, ALL MARINES PREPARE TO FIRE". A small army of Marine soldiers emerge for the corner. "'Diamond' Cyan," Carol yells as Kodama follows with her dragging something "It's time you die".

"Guess we have no choice, ready Joel?" She said with a smile. Joel nods with his legs shaking. "Good".

"CHARGE" Guy yelled as the mobsters rushed. "Don't let Admiral Shiroiokami down, men" Yoko yells as her men charge. "Special Attack: Glass Dust Star" Joel fires as series of gas stars filled with glass dust towards the gangsters. Several stopped to cough as they bled. He drew his sword as started to mow them down.

"Air Current" a large gust of wind began to repel several Marines and Bugs, those left she began punch and kick. Carol began to shoot at Cyan, who grabbed a Marine to use as a shield. She then dodged another who tried to attack her while hiding behind her meat shield. "Gale-Gale Pistol" She punched the attacker with the force of a small tornado. He was launched into Carol. She threw him off of her and shot him several times. "Launch it, Kodama" She yelled as her crewmate loaded a firework cannon.

It was launched and Cyan dodges. The firework blew up, igniting a house. "RELOAD" Carol yelled as Kodama loaded the cannon with another firework. "Not so fast" Cyan yelled as a small ball of wind formed in her hand 'let's hope my dream was right'. "10 KNOT BLAST" She unleashed the ball at the duo. The air current not only knocked Carol and Kodama away but also the cannon.

"I can't keep this up" Joel yelled as he saw his captain start to get tired. "Three Sword Style: Oni Giri" "Bad Manners Kick Course" "Rosetta Storm". Several of the Mobsters where launched as Blane, Riley, and Rex began to clear a path for their friends. "Took you guy's long enough" Cyan said as she ran over to the opening. "Lucid failed, how pitiful" Guy said before grabbing Joel and Cyan by the neck "I won't fail". "SHE'S MINE" Carol screamed before shooting Guy in the back. "No, She's mine" Yoko yelled as a swarm off hornet knock Carol over. "MINE" Johan, who awoke, screamed as he tackled her. "We need to leave this mess" Rex said.

They from the scene as everyone else, minus Abi and Sayo, noticed. "AFTER HER" Michael, who awoke with everyone else, yelled. They all charged at the fleeing pirates.

Meanwhile, back at The Grazer, Sayo and Abi where arguing over who gets to apply the wood eating acid. They then hear the screams of everyone running to the ship. "I'll do it" Sayo yells. She grabs the vile but before she could apply, she drops it into the water. It is now useless. "You idio-" Abi yells but was knocked out by the Cloaked Man shockwave along with Pink Fin and Sayo.

The Cloaked Man then jumped in front of the crowd, blocking them from reaching Cyan. "MOVE IT" Johan yells. As the Man pulls out a table cloth and picnic basket. "By the order of the Marines, MOVE" Yoko commands. "Let me eat" He responds. "This is useless" Carol said before shooting the man. The Man catches the bullet in his hands and crushes it.

"I said 'let me EAT'" He yells. Another shockwave is created, knocking every there out. "Good, that's better" He said as he pulled out a Sandwich from his basket.

"OPEN THE SAIL" Cyan yells as she and Blane pull the anchor out of the water. Rex opens the sails as begins to turn the ship towards the direction of Reverse Mountain. The ship begins to sail off as the Cloaked man walks over to the pier.

He pulls off his cloak revealing The King of the Pirates himself, Monkey D. Luffy. "Good luck Cyan, till we meet again". A Transponder Snail begins to ring in his pocket. He take it out as he pushes the button to answer "Pirate King Luffy, start talking". "DON'T GIVE ME THAT, LUFFY" Bonney yells as Luffy winced in pain. "Sorry, dear, didn't know" he sheepishly said before clearing his throat "Cyan is doing fine, had to butt in but she's doing fine". Bonney sighs in relief "Okay, sorry for yelling" She said.

"I'll be returning shortly" he said before turning to the mess he made "Just need to clean up".

Dark clouds cover the sky as the newly named Diamond Pirates begin to see the visage of Reverse Mountain. "There it is" Joel yells from the Crow's Nest. The currents begin to pull the ship towards an upward moving stream on the mountain. "Ladies and Gentlemen" Joel yelled again "We are about to enter Reverse Falls. Please hold onto something". 

The Ship is dragged into the stream and is beginning it's climb to the top. The air begin to cool as they pass the clouds. They have reached the top. Cyan yells in joy.

"Grand Line, here we come!!!"

To The Grand Line.....

Chapter Text

25 years ago, Monkey D. Luffy found the The Pirate King Union. He along with 10 other pirate captains claimed the 11 shards of the One Piece, leaving only one unclaimed. They challenged the world to claim it to join their ranks. Many tried and many failed, but challenger is determined to claim it. Her name is Monkey D. Cyan. With a bounty of 30 million on her head, she along with her 4 crewmates will claim that last Shard.

"Grand Line, here we come!!!"

The Ship began it's descent. The Crew's cheers of joy where replaced with fear as the ship's descent increased. Then the visage of a large black wall appears. "WE'RE GONNA CRASH" Riley yells in fear.

"Not on my watch" Cyan yelled before jumping on the figure head "Gale-Gale Pist-". Before she could launch her attack, a wave of ice engulfed her. When it settled, Her crew saw that the wall disappeared and Cyan was frozen solid. "What the hell" Rex yelled in surprise. He ran over to his frozen captain but pushed out of the way by Blane. He was gonna complain until a flash of light caught him off guard.

Blane drew his blade as a skeletal figure surrounded by an icy mist dropped the sky. He blocked the person's blade with one of his black sword, the impact causing sparks to fly. Then his blade was starting to be covered in ice. "What the hell" He yells out in confusion. "I knew you would be useless, Tendron" Riley attempts to strike the figure but it vanishes and hits Blane. He falls over and yells at the confused chef.

Rex then notices a round ball on the figures head. Cyan breaks out of the ice and begins to look around for the culprit. Rex runs up "I think I know who this is". He whispers into her and she nods. She climbs up the mast as the other tried fend off the figure. By then, they had already entered Paradise but where too preoccupied by the figure notice.

A wave of ice consumes Rex, leaving him frozen. "Don't worry, Rex, I got you" Joel yells "Fire Sta-". Before he could shoot, another wave of a ice covers and freezes him.

Cyan reaches the Crow's Nest. She takes a deep breath before she yells "HEY, BROOK. IT'S ME, CYAN". The Figure stop in their tracks and the mist dissipates to reveal a skeleton in a brown version of his old suit, a massive afro, and a cane. "Brook?" Blane says in confusion. "A GHOST" Riley yells in fear. "WHAT? WHERE?" Brook yells as well as he looks around for it.

"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON" She yells at the unthawed Joel. "Oh, I forgot. You didn't meet him, did you" He askes with Riley shaking her head. Cyan jumps down as Joel explains "Riley, this is the Musician of Strawhat Pirates. His name is Brook".

Brook bowed before the young chef "It's a pleasure to meet you. Sanji and Pudding like to tell me such wonderful things about you when I visit. Though, they would never let me meet you". "I'm kind of curious myself, you seem nice" She said and shook his hand. The rest of the crew began to count from 5 in their head before he asks "Pardon, but may I see your panties"?

Silence before she kicks the skeleton in the head and yells "NOW I SEE WHY". He fall to the floor, landing on his hands. "Definitely Sanji's kid" He coughs out as he stood up. Cyan laughs as the other 3 shake their heads. 

The laughter soon turned to small sobs as Cyan hugged the skeleton. "How far are we?" She asks as Brook regained his senses. "Far but you are the right path".

"Oh, I almost forgot" Brook says as he pushes the still crying girl away. He pulls out a small note and clears his throat.

"Greetings, Insert pirate group name here. I am Brook, musician of the Strawhats. I am also the outpost guard of Reverse Mountain. You are now entering the first half of the Grand Line known as Paradise. Unlike The 4 Seas or The New World, which are controlled by The Navy and Pirate King Alliance in that order, this place has no set ruler. Due to this, you will face challenges that may kill you. If you ready to proceed, hoist the sails of Insert Ship Name Here and go".

"What was that about?" Rex asks. "Oh, it's a greeting to all pirates that enter the Grand Line. Oh and here" Brook hands the teary eyed captain a small note "your Dad wanted me to give this to you".

She reads the note out loud If you are reading this, then you've made it. Keep your head up and dreams close" Cyan was about to cry again until she read the next line "now draw a smiling face, Chopper".

Cyan's sadness was replaced with joy. 'Still the same' she thought. "Hey, Brook" Riley says "did we get anything?". Brook was quiet. The area entered a state of suspense. The skeleton was stuck in thought as the question ingrained into his mind. Then he answered "Of course". The other 4 began to smile at the thought of their own note until Brook continued "but there is a problem".

As if on cue, a massive mountain whale emerged from the sea. "Holy crap" Riley said in fear. But Cyan had a different response.

"LABOON" She yells in joy as she run to the whale. "L-l-laboon" the terrified chef stutters in fear. "His name is Laboon" Blane said with a laugh "seems the tough chef is afraid of a whale". "SHUT UP" she yelled in rage. "Guys," Rex said "Something is wrong with him". Blane and Riley turned to see Laboon yelling in pain and thrashing around. "Holy crap, you're right" Joel said as he grabbed a telescope to get a closer look.

Cyan didn't notice until Brook blocked her with his sword. "You can't get any closer". "What, why" she yells in anger. "JUST LISTEN" Brook yells. The area is silent again. "Now then, let me speak. A few days ago, your Dad visited me to leave the gifts for your crew. The next day, however, Laboon started acting up. When i went into rooms Crocus made all those years ago"

-FLASHBACK-

Brook whistles as he walks down a metal and concrete hallway. In one hand, he was spinning his cane by the hook and a lantern in the other.

He opened each door, only for nothing to be seen. He sighs and closes the door then continue to the next door. As he opened another door, he was attacked by a shadow. The figure moved like a puppet or a doll as they're waist spun like a wheel. The figure held a scythe-like sword. Brook kept blocking but the figure's speed started to wear on the old skeleton.

He push the figure back and he retreats. Along the way, He kept apologizing to his old friend.

-END OF FLASHBACK-

"And that's what happened" The Musician said with a sigh, He had begun to cry during the tale "I want to help him but he was too fast. I fought many men and women in my life but that thing didn't seem human". Cyan stood up from the small stone she sat on and walked to the old skeleton. "Brook," she said before putting her hand on his bony shoulder "you should've told me". She turned to her crew, who had the same look in their eye's. She smiles before the began to walk to the rocky shore. Brook stood up "WAIT, WHERE ARE YOU GOING" he yelled in fear and anger.

"To help family" She responded without looking. "Wait for me" Brook yelled before running.

They walked down the same hallways that Brook did earlier, the lights weren't burned out but smashed in. The wall where covered in slashes and blood, Laboon's blood. "Jeez, Brook, we've been walking for hours" Joel complained "Don't you know your own home?". Brook laughed a bit before answering "I usually stay in the small house in Laboon's mouth or the lighthouse. I only come in to get some punk who think that they can 'hijack the whale'". They turned to look at Brook before he clarified "I quoted one of them".

They cam across the same door and entered the room. It was covered in tarot cards on the walls and blood on the floor. Other than that, it was an average(if not large) storage room. "What have we here" a male voice said from the shadows. The swordsmen of the group drew their blades as the sounds of boots on blood filled the room. "WHO GOES THERE?" Brook yelled into the darkness. "The Powerful Soul King has shown his face again" the voice taunts.

"Show yourself" Blane shouts in the air. "Relying on young blood, I see" he retorts "How sad. Seems age has put you in the corner". "Quit talking and start fighting" Cyan yells and breaks a box open with a Gale-Gale Pistol. "What do we have here, a girl at the beginning of her journey. So young and so naive".

A figure emerged from the darkness. He wore face paint that resembled a yellow clown mask with tears. A blue cloak covered his scar covered body and red jeans. On the back of his cloak was the number 0. In his hand is a sword that looked more like a scythe. The sword had number on the blade: 41. "How rude of me, i forgot introduce myself" The man said with a twisted smile.

"You may call me The Fool".

25 years ago, Monkey D. Luffy founded the The Pirate King Union. He along with 10 other pirate captains claimed the 11 shards of the One Piece, leaving only one unclaimed. They challenged the world to claim it to join their ranks. Many tried and many failed, but one challenger is determined to claim it. Her name is Monkey D. Cyan. With a bounty of 30 million on her head, she along with her 4 crewmates will claim that last Shard.

"You may call me The Fool".

"THAT SWORD" Blane blurted out. Fool smirked "Oh this, why this is number 41. Otherwise know as Nornir". "I see" Blane said before putting the 3rd blade in his mouth "Then ish mine".

"Gahahahaha" Fool laughs as he walks toward the walls. His walk resembled that of a puppets. "So you want to fight me" The Clown laughed "Fine then". He stabs the wall with his sword. The began to bleed as Laboon yells in pain. "STOP THAT" Brook and Cyan yell. "Why should I. Island Whales aren't native to Paradise and yet here it is, a giant fuck off whale. A DISGRACE TO NATURE". Brook's rage was building but he kept calm, Cyan was different.

She charged with a small cyclone forming on her wrist "GALE-GALE ROCKET". Fool pulled the sword out the wall and dodged. "Not fast enough, Lame De Scie" His upper body began to spin with the sword acting as a saw blade. "Holy Crap" She yelled as she tried to run backwards. "Get the hell away" Rex yelled. He grabbed his antlers, which detached, and charge "Demon Impalement". The Antlers broke upon meeting the blade. "W-What" He said in surprise. "GAHAHAHAHA, did you think that would work".

"I've had enough of this" Joel yelled before shooting a lead star at Fool. The Fool spun away before stopping "That ball was weak, I'll show you one better". He reached into cloak and yelled "Hammer Space: Bille D'Acier" then chucked a large steel ball at Joel. He dodged and yelled "How the hell did you pull that out". "Yeah and how did you spin" Rex yelled, as well.

"Call it strength, call it experience, but I call it the Mari-Mari Fruit. With this fruit, all the world's a stage and I'm the protagonist" Fool teased as his hand spun in place. "He's like a puppet" Brook sputtered in fear. 'so cool' Cyan said in her mind. "Enough talking, Lame De Scie" Fool spun his torso again. "Enough of thish, Three Sword Style: Oni G-" Before Blane could attack, Fool changed tactics and Blane down the stomach. "Et Faire Semblant" Fool said before laughing as Blane fell to the floor, out cold.

"Dumb Ass" Riley yelled. "Don't worry, I got this" Joel shouted. "Special Attack: Molotov Star Combo" He shot the combo attack but it was blow back as Fool raised his cloak "Hammer Space: Rafale Puissante".

Joel was ignited and he yelled in pain. "Oh crap, STARTING GALE" Cyan shout as the same gust that is used to give The Grazer a boost hit Joel, extinguishing the fire with only small burns left. He fell the floor in pain, he was out. "2 out of 6" Fool laughed "Go me". "YOU RAGDOLL BASTARD" Cyan yelled. "Don't worry, I got this" Rex said as he push his captain aside. His antler where in the shape of a wall with the points jutting forward, making a crush wall of death. "Now Fall, DEMON IMPALEMENT".

He charged at the clown, who tried the same tactic. The hook of the blade got caught in the mess of horns. "Got you" Rex said with gritted teeth. Then Fool smiled as begun to spin again. With Rex trapped, he walked toward a wall. Rex's body slams against said wall, breaking his antlers in the process. "Damn it" Rex groaned as he got up. He then noticed Joel and Blane "CRAP". He bolted towards his injured crew. "Time to die, Freak of Nature" Fool laughed out as he strutted towards the deer-man. Riley block him with one of her leg raised in a crane form "Not today, Puppet".

"So you like kicking, fun" He said as he sheathed his sword and yelled "Combo De Projecteurs". A bright light came out of the cloak as he began to kick with the style of a marionette in a dryer. Each hit, he chanted "Un, Deux, Trois, Quatre, Cinq, Six, Sept, Huit, Neuf, Dix". Then a powerful flash came from his cloak, blind Riley. Then a power kick was delivered to the top of her head, knocking her out.

"Et Voila".

"THAT'S IT" Cyan yelled and charged again. This time prepping for a Knot Blast. But Fool smacked her with side of the sword and sent her into some crates full of old beakers. She tried to get up but the pain of the glass shards kept making her fall, The Fool began to walk towards her.

'Oh no' Brook thought, he had kept his distance out of fear 'What should I do. Luffy's Daughter fell and I can't do anything. Oh wait'.

"Time for the Diamond to CRACK" Fool said than laughed. 'Damnit all' Cyan yelled in her head, she kept trying to stay still but kept moving from the pain 'guess this is it". They then noticed Brook walk away from them. "Wait, what the hell" Fool said as Cyan began to smirk. "Soul Solid". A shard of ice appeared from The Fool's chest as he fell to the floor. "h-h-h-how" He struggled before passing out. "Yohohoho, that takes care of that" Brook laughed.

"Good job, Brook" Cyan said with a smile "You did greaaaaaaaaaaa-". She passed out.

She awoke to the smell of, well, smelling salts. She nearly gagged as she got up. She then noticed that she was covered in bandages. "CYAN" Brook and Rex yelled and hugged her.

She smiled "Hey guys," She said in a struggled tone "Can I please breathe?". The 2 let go, embarrassed.

Blane, Riley, and Joel stare at the tied up Fool. The once intimidating and scary man was reduced to a shivering and bloody mess. "Let me go" Fool yelled "The World will kill me if you don't". Riley kicked him, knocking him over. "Who is this 'The World' and 'Major Arcana' you keep talking about" Joel asked, with a hiss being his only response. "Kick him again" He said to Riley. "First of all, Don't command a lady" She scowled before grinning "Second of all, gladly". She kicked him in the gut, causing him to yelp.

Blane picked up Nornir before handing it to Brook "Here, have it". He tilts his head in confusion "Why". "A Trophy" Blane smiled.

"ALRIGHT" Cyan yelled as she jump off a large stone "Time to head out". "Good choice" Brook said "Also, sorry for not helping". She patted his Uncle on the back "Don't mention it". She glanced at the napping Laboon and continued "I would act the same knowing a friend is being tortured". "Yeah, that guy seemed hell bent on killing Laboon" Rex added.

"Also it was kind of a wake-up call for us" Cyan said with a goofy smile. The same of smile Luffy would give when he would find a good side of anything. Brook could here his captain's laugh. It made his heart warm, if he had a heart.

The Grazer raised anchor as Brook handed Joel, the only person with an ounce of navigating knowledge, a log pose and an eternal pose to Whiskey Peak before jumping off the ship. The ship lowered the sails and began to sail away to there next destination.

"Now what to with yo-wait WHAT" He turned to see that Fool disappeared. In his place, a note with a symbol on it. It was a blue circle with a cracked skull in the middle and red in the eye holes. "My," Brook said under his breath "I think I need to contact someone".

Cyan inhaled the Grand Line air with a smile. "NEXT STOP, WHISKEY PEAK" she yelled with her crew cheering.

Meanwhile on Whiskey Peak, a man with a cowboy hat and candle lantern sits under a tree. "AND THAT FUCKER TIED ME UP LIKE TRASH" Fool yelled through a transponder snail. "Settle Down, Tyler" The man said with a laugh. "DON'T CALL ME TYLER, IT'S FOOL. I WOULDN'T CALL YOU YOUR REAL NAME, HERMIT" The Fool yelled.

"Relax, it seems we have company" Hermit said as he stood up. He saw the Grazer on the Horizon. "Good luck" Fool said before hanging up.

"This should be fun".

25 years ago, Monkey D. Luffy founded the The Pirate King Union. He along with 10 other pirate captains claimed the 11 shards of the One Piece, leaving only one unclaimed. They challenged the world to claim it to join their ranks. Many tried and many failed, but one challenger is determined to claim it. Her name is Monkey D. Cyan. With a bounty of 30 million on her head, she along with her 4 crewmates will claim that last Shard.

"This should be fun".

Whiskey Peak. Once a town filled with bounty hunters and assassins now prospers with a new purpose. Like LogueTown, it is a major trading city specializing in products and goods from the Grand Line. However, mining has also taken hold of the economy as the rare metal Cactite has been found in abundance. Cactite is famous for being used in the newly invented Snail Radio as well as being one of the materials used in the building of the Pirate King Ship, The Rex Nave. Soon the island town became a country with several cities. The town of Whiskey Peak became the richest city and overshadowing it's capitol

Rex looked up from a book of Grand Line Islands he "borrowed" from Brook to see the said island. It was as beautiful as the images. However, they had to go around the island and onto a small coast to avoid being caught by a nearby Navy captain.

Cyan jumped onto the railing yelled "HERE WE ARE". She was grabbed by the deer who scolded her for nearly blowing their location. Blane, who had ignored him, jumped down and began his walk to the nearby town (and capital): Idle Woods. "BLANE" Rex yelled in anger. "Look whose quite now" Cyan said in an anger pout. "SHUT UP". Riley slams the door to the kitchen open and walks out "Who took the Berries from the storage chest". They both and Rex responds "Have you asked Joel?". She nods "He was guarding it, I punished him for not guarding it properly". "YOU CALL KICK ME IN TO KINGDOM COME 'PUNISHMENT'" he yelled from the kitchen.

Meanwhile, Blane had arrived at the town with the money. He had no interest in island hopping and wanted to get the next destination fast, so now he begins his search for a Log Pose Store. As he walks, he feels eyes stare him down. He turns to see no one. He turns and is greeted with the barrel of a gun in his face.

"Found you" The Hermit said.

He wore a black cowboy hat with the logo from the paper on it. He wore a black shirt with several belts of ammo surrounding it and a pole with lantern on his back. He had 2 pistol holsters on his hips, one occupied while the other is empty. His blood red boots matched his dog tag with the number 9 on it. "Nice clothing" Blane said with false confidence. "Quit the shitty bravado, a man acts tough until a gun is pointed at them. Now, where is the Blue Haired Girl?". "Wha-How do you know Cyan?".

He drops 4 pictures from his free hand "A certain beginner sent them". 'Beginner? What, those angles' His mind began to race. The angle that caught him off guard the most was him handing Brook Nornir. Then he remember hearing the Fool grumble to himself.

-FLASHBACK-

"A Trophy" Blane smiled.

"Stupid kids, you don't know what mess you got yourselves into" The Fool grumbled to himself "But I will make sure you will die, Hammer Space: Escargot Cache". From his tattered cape, a small camera snail emerged. It snapped photos of the crew. Blane handing the sword to the sheepish Brook, Cyan burning her hand from trying to take a fish that was cooking, Riley running to the fire while yelling, and Joel writing the names of his boss and his group. The only one he missed was Rex.

"Now I just get out and I can send these to Hermit and Sun. Once they get it, they are done for". He began to laugh before rock hits his head, making him fall to his side.

-FLASHBACK OVER-

'That freak' Blane cursed in his mind. "Now, show me the girl or I will end you" Hermit said with a twisted smile. "Well, guess you have fight me the-" He tries to grab one of his swords but he noticed that they were gone. 'Crap' He cursed in his head again.

Back on the Grazer, Rex emerges from the men's cabin with Blane's swords. "So the dumbass took the money and forget his own weapons" Riley growled in anger. "We have to go find him" Joel said "But where do we find him". Just then, a loud shot was heard throughout the area. "There he is" All 4 said at once.

The back of Blane's leg was bleeding. Blane was try to stand but each time, another bullet hits his leg. "I won't let you leave, Urchin Man" Hermit said with death stare "I want you to show me where Cyan is". "Keep shooting, I WON'T TELL YOU" He yells. "Well then," He says as he loads his gun "Guess that takes care of you". He aims the gun to the back of Blane's skull and had his index finger on the trigger.

"Stop right there" A voice came behind him. He turns to see a barrel being thrown at him. He moves aside and yells "Who dares change fate?" before whispering "I am going to kill Strength for making me say that". Before he knew it, a group of people surrounded him. "Fun" He says with closed smile before pulling his other gun out. "Give up, kid, It's not worth it" A woman said as she emerged from the crown. A tall and muscular black woman with pink hair and blue suit. "And you are?" Hermit said with both guns pointed at her.

"Mayor Natasha," A man said "This guy attacked a man and demanded the location of 'Diamond' Cyan". The crowd gasped in fear as the name of a big name pirate in there town. "I see" the mayor said before taking a good look at the kid. By now, his black hat flew off to reveal messy peach colored hair with small white horns poking out. He wouldn't be out of place in band. Then something caught her eye. His tree green eyes told a story, an all too familiar story.

"Poor kid, roped into something that you regret" she says with a sympathetic smile. "Wh-what" He said in a confused tone before loading his other gun "What are you on about?". "Ever heard of Baroque Works?" Natasha said. A cold wind blew through Idle Woods. Blane turned over to look at the 2. Hermit's eyes widened in fear. Baroque Works was a name that many in the first quarter of The Grand Line had heard. A name that became like a boogeyman to the children and an example for an evil group.

"BLANE!" Cyan yelled as she and the others ran through the crowd. "HOLY CRAP" Rex yelled before stopping near.

Hermit's expression changed back to confidence "There you are Cyan". A series a bullets where shot at the running captain. She dodged them all before her fist flew at the man. The Hermit blocked with his guns before jumping back. "And there goes any negotiations, get Barret here and tell him to bring the weapons" Natasha yelled before charging.

The Hermit reloaded before shooting at her, who grabbed a metal barrel to block his bullets. "Fuck, out of bullets. Guess I have to fight the old fashioned way". He grabbed the pole on his back and slammed it down, shattering the lantern and starting a fire. "Don't Dear, I'm here" A smaller, skinnier man with pale skin and orange yelled. He carried a massive sword and 2 guns. "Did you bring it" Natasha asked. "Yes" Barrett said as he heaved the massive sword to the woman. The sword looked like a train in a way with a handle that looked like lever and on the blade, in a bright gold coloring, where the number 61. "Behold, kid, one of the most powerful blades in the world. Number 61 also known as Henry" She with tone that an anger mother would use.

"Do what you will" Hermit yelled "The punishment for failure is worse than anything". "SHUT IT, BULLET GUY, WIND BALL" Cyan shouted as a ball of wind hurdled to Gunman. "Lanza" Hermit said as he turned and jabbed the ball, making it dissipate. "What HOW" Cyan yelled. "Anything can break when you hit it hard enough" He snickered before dodging an onslaught of slices from Natasha. After one slash, he lands on the sword before dodging bullets by Barrett.

"This is getting tiresome" He yawns "Let's finish this".

Chapter Text

25 years ago, Monkey D. Luffy founded the The Pirate King Union. He along with 10 other pirate captains claimed the 11 shards of the One Piece, leaving only one unclaimed. They challenged the world to claim it to join their ranks. Many tried and many failed, but one challenger is determined to claim it. Her name is Monkey D. Cyan. With a bounty of 30 million on her head, she along with her 4 crewmates will claim that last Shard.

"This is getting tiresome" He yawns "Let's finish this".

Hermit jumped off the sword and onto a small house's roof. "Now lets begin". He spins his staff then blocks the series of bullets shot by the crowd. "Nice try, kid" A pair of men yelled as they attacked from behind with swords. He dodged the attack and knocked them into the crowd. He then jumped toward the injured Blane. "I don't think so, DUST DEVIL TRAP" Cyan shouted as a blast of air broke threw the ground and launched The Hermit into the air.

"Now Gale-Gale Rock-" before she could strike, he pointed the tip of his staff at the girl and a bright flash blinded her. He then pulled a small knife from his pants and stabs the dazed girl in the forearm. "CYAN" Her crew yelled as The Hermit turned around to impale the still down Blane.

"Oh no you don't" Joel yelled before launching a Molotov Star Combo. The Hermit dodged only for Riley to kick him into a roof. The roof break and he lands in the building. Riley lands inside and approaches the heap of a man. "Shame you fell so easily" She mocked before noticing his knife. She picks it up to find that it's made of seastone. "Damnit" She swears.

She throws the knife into a bucket nearby before walking closer "Now then, what of dumbass challenges someone like Cyan". The Staff juts out and another bright flash blinds Riley. She stumbles back and tries to kick the air, hoping to hit someone. But the staff strikes her, knocking her into a wall. "Bitch" Hermit yells before walking out.

Cyan lands on Blane's leg, making him yell in pain. Rex pulls him out before he stands up and limps to the unconscious girl. "WHAT THE HELL" He yells "YOU COULDN'T MOVE". "Sorry" Cyan coughs out before  trying to stand up. She falls again, causing Rex to run to her again. He examines the injury before he turns pale(or at least as pale as someone with fur could). "That knife had traces of seastone. I need to disinfect it before it enter the bloodstream". Joel then hears someone walk out. "Hey Riley, did you beat the-". A bright flash before a strike knocks him down.

"Joel, you idiot" Blane swears. He grabs one of the swords that Rex dropped and began to fight. The Slices where dodged while strikes where blocked. It seemed that the fight would last until they pass out, until The Hermit kicked Blane's injured leg. He fell over.

Another bright flash blinded Blane before he passed out from the pain. "4 down, 1 to go" The Hermit snickered before turning to Rex. 'damnit. he wants to fight me now,' Rex swore in his head 'I need to keep Cyan but how. THINK DAMNIT'. Just then a shot rang out. The Hermit clutched his shoulder. "Fuck" He yelled out before facing the source of the shot. "Gotcha" Barrett said before Natasha swung the sword down, slicing his staff in half.

"You ass" Hermit yelled in rage before grabbing the side with the flash and began to back up. "You don't know what you did" he said with faux confidence "The boss will hear about this. You think Crocodile was evil, then you never faced The World. Heed my warning, Cyan, continue further and face evil itself". He pulls out 1 of his ammo case before throwing to the floor, causing a huge smog to envelope the area. When it cleared, he was gone.

Cyan awoke to Rex stitching her arm. They where in an unfamiliar room with Blane in a foot cast, Riley lying in a bed with a ton of ice packs, and Joel with bandages covering his face. "W-where are we?" Cyan asked before Natasha walked in with a young man and a small girl following her.

"Oh good, you're awake" She before the girl barreled to the injured Cyan. "Hi, my name is Amelia. What's yours?" she asked with a smile. "Cyan" She answered with smile as well. The Child started to jump as repeated "Cyan the Hero". Cyan tried to get to join the fun but winced in pain before laying back down. "The hell happened to here" The man said before the girl, his sister, punched him in the junk "No swearing, Clemont". Clemont slumped to the floor in pain.

"ARE THEY AWAKE?" Barrett yelled as he ran in. Natasha nodded as he walked closer the injured captain. He sat down before asking her if she knew of Baroque Works. She nodded before he began to tell a story. "25 years ago, me and my wife were members of Baroque Works. We went by the names of Mr. 9 and Miss Monday. During this time, we were beaten by the Straw hats and, not wanting to be caught, we converted our island into a country".

Barrett then turned to Natasha who continued "About a year ago, we heard about a group similar to Baroque Works called The Major Arcana. We believe you are now targeted by them now". Joel gulped as a smile crept upon Cyan's face "Then we'll fight".

"YAYYY!" Amelia cheered. "What makes you think you'll win" Clemont said as stood up.

"I Remember Dad telling me stories of how he beat Crocodile and ever since, I wanted to fight someone like him. Now I can, so I won't fail. Not to mention he tried to kill Laboon and Blane, so they need to pay". Silence filled the room before the 2 yelled in surprise "WAIT, DAD". Amelia gasps in surprise, acting like she knew was going on.

Outside the building, The Hermit sits near a window directly behind Cyan. A smile graced his as he stood up and walked away. "This changes everything".

Meanwhile, in Alabasta, berates an injured Fool. "Forgive me, Chariot, just don't tell World". The man, called Chariot, was going to talk decides to walk away.

"I won't fail again but I need help. I need Death".

With a bounty of 30 million on her head, she along with her 4 crewmates will claim that last Shard.

"I won't fail again but I need help. I need Death".

"HEAVE HO" men loaded supplies onto The Grazer with vigor. Cyan sat on a crate of meat and cheese, waiting for someone to carry it on.

"Cyan, was it" Clemont said as he leaned on a tree. "Aren't you the guy who got his dick punched in?" Cyan said with a straight face, causing Clemont to jump back. "FORGOT THAT, OKAY" He yelled in embarrassment "Besides, I didn't call you 'That Girl who got stabbed and nearly died'". She nodded before laying on her back.

"Besides that, why didn't you use your Dad as way to keep yourself safe?" He asked. She shrugged before answering "I want to write my own story, not be a footnote in another's". He nods back "I see. Well, good luck with that".

"Hey, don't you join my crew?" She asks with a smile. He looks down, lost in thought, before responding "sorry, but I don't think i'm strong enough. Besides, i feel like you should choose someone better".

He walks off. "Welp" Cyan says before falling asleep.

Meanwhile, Blane carries a box onto the ship. "What is that?" Rex asks as he opens it. He gasps at the sight, weights. "Damnit, Blane. Really?" He scolds the swordsman. "What? We lost twice, so we need to get stronger".

A silence filled the dock. Rex nodded "I know that. Just heal for now, we'll talk about it later".

Blane, upset, agreed. Then he noticed Riley carry a large case of something. "Oi, Triclops," He yelled to the chef "What's in the box?".

She scoffs "none of your business, ya Sea Urchin". Rex shakes his head walks towards the chef, who'd tried to back away. He stops and spell the air. One of the benefits, or in situations like this, of being part reindeer is that his nose is sensitive.

As sniffs the air, Riley finally fessed up "Fine, It's wine".  Blane stands up "Oh hell no. We didn't pack alcohol so we don't have a drunk chef cooking war crimes on a pan, what makes you think that we'd allow that?".

"Give me a break, Freakshow, I've been stressed all day. I need something to relax with" She said in protest. Rex sighs and grabs the case and places on the box of weights "Until y'all heal up, i will hold this in my office. Any and all excuses will result in me holding on to them longer, got it".

The 2 nod and Rex carries the boxes into his room.

Joel lays on his bed, lost in thought. His attack, which did a good amount of damage in the past, did nothing. His focus moved to the sword he bought. Despite his training sessions with Blane, he still wasn't confident enough to use it.

He sighs. 'What am i doing?' He thought 'I'm the son of The king of snipers yet i suck at it'.

As he stared at his sword, the ship rumbles a bit causing a box of fireworks to fall. He packed them for entertainment but now, he has an idea. He gets up and runs to the box. He smiles 'now we're talking'.

Natasha wakes Cyan up "Hey, kid, it's time to go. We packed what we could and y'all have enough supplies for Alabasta". Cyan sits up "Thanks, Monday". Natasha, who felt a twinge of both disgust and nostalgia, said "Please, you don't need to call me that. Call me Natasha or maybe even Aunt Natasha".

Cyan stood up and before running to the ship "Nah, Monday fits you". Sweat dropped from the woman's head 'was that an insult or compliment?'.

"Alright, kids" Barret said "I was able to buy an Eternal Pose for you guys. Now, who's the Navigator?". The ship goes quiet, Barret then asks "You guys do have a navigator, right?". The 5 crewmates shake their heads. Barret, in surprise, says "What the heck, how are you guys alive?". Cyan shrugs "We used an Eternal Pose to get here". Barret puts his hand to his head before putting the pose on a barrel and walked off. Blane smiled before talking "We should get a navigator". The other 4 nod.

After a Starting Gale, the 5 began to sail to Alabasta. Blane, bored, pulled a small book from his pocket and began to write the names and numbers of the swords.

"Number 1, Michael; Number 2, Grim Reaper; Number 41, Nornir; Number 57, Quetzalcoatl; and Number 61, Henry". He closes the book, feeling the tension in the air. The crew stares at each other. "Our first 2 battles of the Grand Line and we where saved" Riley said with a grimace. Rex then added "I'm grateful for Brook and The Mayor for helping us but still". Cyan stood up "Then it's settled. Until we arrive on Alabasta, we will hone our skills. Next time, we will win".

The 4 agree before Cyan yells "ALRIGHT, LET'S GO TO ALABASTA".

While the ship began to sail away, back at Alabasta, a group of people are huddled around a table. "Here are the photos" Hermit said as he dropped 4 photos onto the table. Fool then says "That's them". A man with a rucksack with eye holes on his head speaks "These 4 took you down, Fool?".

The group laugh before Fool could speak "No, it was the Soul King. He seems to have connections to these 4". A Shandoran with long, yellow hair hits the the table "That is enough. The World will not have this kind idiocy happen". A man with gladiator armor shakes his head.

"Relax, Sun, we cant get emotional". The Yellow haired man, named Sun, grabs the gladiator by the chainmail "We can't piss him off, Chariot. You know that". A man with a top hat, monocle, and handlebar mustache then laughs "Relax, fools, we need to have a strategy". "SHUT IT, DEATH" The 2 yells.

"THAT IS ENOUGH, IDIOTS-HA" A booming voice scares the 2. The source looked like a judge with a blindfold that had eyeholes cut in. "We cannot have fools argue in the presence of The World-Ha. If you must argue, do it outside-ha". The 2 bow before turning to the shadow next to the judge "Forgive us, World". The man on the throne, cloaked in shadows, gives a thumbs up. They sigh.

"Now will you listen" Death said. They nod.

25 years ago, Monkey D. Luffy founded the The Pirate King Union. He along with 10 other pirate captains claimed the 11 shards of the One Piece, leaving only one unclaimed. They challenged the world to claim it to join their ranks. Many tried and many failed, but one challenger is determined to claim it. Her name is Monkey D. Cyan. With a bounty of 30 million on her head, she along with her 4 crewmates will claim that last Shard.

"Now will you listen" Death said. They nod.

The mast creaked as The Grazer stopped to the shore. Rex rubs the wood with his hoofed hands. It felt old. Despite being made of the same wood as The Rex Nave and Sunny, it was starting to break. He sighs and makes a mental note to remind Cyan that they may need to fix it.

He was preoccupied by the mast that he didn't notice that they had arrived. He ran over to the anchor and dropped it. Normally Blane does it but it was midnight, everyone had been asleep for hours. He sighed before preceding to climb to mast to raise the sails.

Despite being the doctor, he was a nocturnal person. He would ready medicine and watch over the ship at night while everyone slept.

Due to this, he found himself at the mercy of the small coffee machine in his office.

He slid down the mast after his job, thankful that his hands where immune to splinters, and walked over to the edge of the ship. He rested his head as he watched the lights.

The neon lights sparkled brighter than the stars. One of the signs told him were they where.

"WELCOME TO NANOHANA"

It seemed like a dream. 25 years ago, Nanohana, and Alabasta as whole, was considered "behind the time". Then, after the discovery of Cactite in Whisky Peak, the country experienced a boom. Nanohana, once a port city, was now a tourist paradise. Granted, the further you move away from the port city, the more humble it is. With the city of Yuba experiencing the least change. Recently, however, a number of people have claimed to see the dead walk.

A myth? Maybe. A fact? Not likely.

It didn't matter, if anything it gave small businesses a new way to make money. As for the location of the ship Pluton, it was myth. It still kept bothering him how a legend kept going even during the the Reign of The World Government.

Rex sneezed as a cold chill came down. They where being watched. Being part animal helps at times but this was one of his favorite things. He could sense when someone was watching. Whether it was a person or animal, he knew and he hated it.

He looked around, seeing if he can scare of whatever is watching him but he didn't find it.

Little did he know, Death was on the doorstep.

The sun rose as Rex awoke in puddle of drool and a crick in his neck. He groaned in discomfort and walked back to his office to begin a half hour meeting with the coffee machine. As he walked, he noticed a small puddle on the floor. It was semi-clear with a small milky coloring to it. He groaned in discomfort at the sight until he notice something. It smelt of plastic. His disgust turned into confusion, why would melted plastic be on the deck, let alone The Grazer.

Before he could investigate further, the door to the girls' room slams open as Riley sleepily drags Cyan to the kitchen. He shrugs, another morning on The Grazer, and returned his gaze to the puddle. It was gone.

A group of 5 watch from afar. Death and Sun observed the chaos that is The Diamond Pirates. The other 3 however, hid in the shadows. One had a moon-shaped scare on his arm, one had his hair styled like a castle tower, and one had a purple and gold cloak on. They all had numbers on them that correspond with their code names: Death, Sun, Moon, Tower, and Magician.

The small blob of plastic moved up Death's pants and he observed the kids' behavior. After all, Death is patient.

Blane dropped from the ship, followed by Joel and Cyan. Rex, still half asleep, watched. A small plate of food was set next to him on a table. "I don't why you insist on staying here" Riley as she drank a Coffee. Rex took a bite of the sausage on his before answering "Like i said, that liquid plastic bothered me. I want to watch over the ship in case something bad happens".

She sighs "Well, wash the dishes while you're here". She put the now empty cup on the table then she followed them.

Rex, now a little more awake, watches them enter the city.

A tower of sand lowers as the 5 walk towards the ship in secret. "Nows the time for sabotage" Magician says with a smile. Now the sun was more up, they can be seen more clearly. Magician wore a blue and gold mask that covered his eyes and gold chainmail.

"Yes, this should be most pleasurable" Tower agreed. A black man with an odd sense of fashion. As his codename suggests, his entire get up is tower themed. He wore long clothing with a brick pattern and his hair styled to resemble a castle tower. Stranger enough, one of his eyes is covered by a banner shaped eye patch.

"One pirate on board. Should be a walk in the park" Moon added. Despite being in a desert, his looked as if it was drained of blood. He wore a series off coats with a band of knives and Kunai hold it together. His mouth was covered by a gas mask and his hair was stringy. If it wasn't for a cut on his cheek, you would've thought that he was the living dead.

Tower's eye glowed pillars of sand erected, making a staircase. The 5 walked up quietly, but it changes when they saw the deck. Empty.

"Seems like the pirate left" Sun scoffed, obviously wanting a fight. Magician punched his arm "What the hell are you thinking, this is great". Tower opened the door to the kitchen, where he finds a fur. He sniffs it then turns to comrades "Reindeer fur, hunted them back in the day. Either they have pet on board or a Zoan. Either way, this should be a piece of cake".

"Reindeer meat sounds delicious" Magician laughs. A plastic appendage grabs the fur and brings it over to Death, the one using said plastic.

'Plastic, like the one on the ship' Rex said in his head. He had smelt the team from a mile away, so climbed the mast before they noticed. In his hoofed hand, a flare with a small note was clenched.

'I can't fight them alone. Then again, I think this could be amazing training'. Ever since they where defeated by both Fool and Hermit, they had trained to prepare themselves. Rex decided that he can do this himself. From what he saw, there where 2 devil fruit users, both paramecia. One can make plastic and the other can make pillars or something. He knew it wasn't the Sand-Sand fruit, he met the user.

He shook his head and a took a deep breath, here it goes.

"HEY WEIRDOS," A voice yelled from the Crow's Nest "The costume party left without you". The 5 looked up to see Rex. "There's the deer" Tower yelled before his eye glowed. Rex, taking a guess, knew this was gonna hurt. A tower of wood knocked him off the Crow's Nest. Rex lowered his head. "Wait, don't reindeer have horns" Moon pointed out. Rex put his hands together before spinning like a drill. "Plato's Needle" Rex yelled as he moved towards Tower. Tower erected a small pillar from the deck but broke upon contact with Rex. He was thrown back into the stairs.

"TOWER" Sun yelled before being punched in the face by Rex. "No one beats Sunspot but me" Moon shouted as he drew a weird gun from his jackets "Now freeze, Venison". He fired the gun. Rex dodged the bullet but he noticed what would've happened if he missed. The bullet struck barrel, then it froze over.

"That is not normal" Rex shouted before he notice Sun get up. "Hey, Death, you still have have the weapon?" The Shandoran asked. Death pulled a spear from behind him and tossed it to Sun. 'The tip' Rex realized 'it's a flame dial'.

As if on queue, a flame bursted from the tip. Flame ignited the sails "Now this is sabotage". 'Dammit all, i can't fight them alone' he reached for the flare in his pocket but it was gone.

He turned and saw it on the other side of the ship. He sprinted to it but was blocked by a wall of plastic. Fear shot up from Rex's spine as he turned. All 5 faced him, Tower was the most pissed. "Behold the Plas-Plas Fruit" Death gloated "I am a plastic man, meaning i can produce plastic from my skin".

'Plastic' Rex grimaced. He turned and began to punch the wall to no avail. "Like all those who meet death," Death laughed as spear-like tendrils emerge from his back "the run away!". The tendrils attack Rex, who dodged until one stabs his thigh. 

Rex yelled in pain but kept dodging until one of the tendrils got caught in the mast. Perfect. Jumped on it then used it to jump over the wall of plastic.

"Dammit Death," Tower yelled before the wall rumbled "This is why you don't gloat. Now Tower Branch!". Pillars of plastic emerged from the wall, block the flare the process. Then the wall collapsed. "You imbecile" Death yelled "This was my chance to kill. I. Am. DEATH. I represent the end". "Well, Mr. The End, our order was sabotage. Not assassination". "The World told us to 'kill if needed' and here we have a thorn to end". "If you're going to kill him, do it fast. Enough with the showing off". "I bit sad that i am being reprimanded by the one who got knocked down".

As their argument continued, Moon tried to interrupt but it was too late. The flare was shot. "Looks like you lost" Rex said before collapsing on the floor. Then the flame spear came to his neck. "Listen here" Sun yelled "We cannot fail. If we do, bad luck follows. Now burn, you walking venison". 

The wind picked up as Rex tried to move but failed. This was it, he was going to die. At least he died warning the others. The flame began to spark. Before it could ignite, Rex head something and smiled.

"What's so funny" Sun yelled. "Don't look up". Before he could look up, a shoe struck his head. It was Cyan. "Back off my friend".

The Sun fell down, defeated. 1 of 5 intruders have fallen.

With a bounty of 30 million on her head, she along with her 4 crewmates will claim that last Shard.

The Sun fell down, defeated. 1 of 5 intruders have fallen.

Cyan landed with her back facing Rex. "CYAN," Rex yelled "THE SAILS". She looked up and saw half the sails burnt. "Shit, Power Gale" she yelled as a sweeping wind extinguished the fire.

"Fuck, a devil fruit user" Moon yelled before pulling a kunai from his vest "Eat sea stone". Before the weapon could pierce her, a powerful kick knocked him off the ship. He resurfaced, passed out.

"Not today, pale face" Riley said as she wiped her heel with the floor. Blane and Joel walked up the sand staircase, both out of breath.

"WHY DID YOU MAKE ME DO THAT?" Joel yelled in exhaustion. Blane stretched his arms before answering "Good training. Besides, we have company". The 3 remaining intruders begin to realize the plan has failed. "We hit a snag" Magician swore to himself before shouting to the others "We either fall or die". The others nodded.

Another wall of plastic emerged before it began to rush to the 5. "Okay, now for more training. Ready?" Blane said. Joel nodded as he drew his sword. The wall came at full force then it was sliced into 5 pieces. "All right, our turn" Riley turned to Cyan. The 5 pieces where then either kicked or blow back to Death. The plastic merged and returned to him as the spear tendrils returned.

"Face your fate, children". The spears launched and where broken by Riley "Nice tentacles, think we can make octopus balls out of you". "How?" Death yelled in confusion "They are as hard as stone, how did you break them". "What do you think we trained with?" Joel shakily taunts as he knocks over a barrel, causing sand to spill out.

Death gulped.

"ALL RIGHT, I'VE HAD IT" Tower yelled. Ship began to shake as pillars emerged from the ground and the ship. "Settle down, Tower" Magician said but was pushed away

"I will NOT let a group of kids ruin our master plans" The pillars begin to twist with each other until they made a makeshift hand. The hand then clenched into a fist as Tower yelled "BEHOLD. I AM THE TOWER. I AM CALAMITY. NOW DIE, CALAMITY HAMMER". They began to fall toward the crew. "This is it" Joel yelled in fear.

"Not yet" Cyan said as she began to calm herself. Just before the hand struck, Cyan shot her hands up and slowed the fist long enough for Blane cut the "hand of". Cyan, with her strength starting to dwindle, shot the fist away from them with another Power Gale. "You're so dead" Magician said as he tossed a bag onto the floor boards. He then lit a match and tossed at said bag, causing to explode in a green fire. "Changing the colour won't help" Cyan shouted as she tried to send a Gale Pistol towards Magician only for her to weaken and get burned.

"CYAN" Rex yelled as he ran and pulled her away. "What..the..hell" She stuttered, Trying to myster strength. "Sea prism stone act the same as copper when lit with gunpowder with the added bonus off creating a Devil Fruit killing flame. I call it the Devil's Punishment" Magician taunts.

"Now, Dread Piston" Tower mutters as Cyan is launched from under her. She is then caught by plastic tendrils and is held over the green fire "Try cutting her down, You'll only get a cooked captain" the Plastic Man laughs. Cyan cursed as she tried to free herself.

"Oi, I have a question for you freaks" Riley asks, making the 3 yell at the name calling "When we held that stage freak, he mentioned someone". "Let me go" Fool yelled "The World will kill me if you don't". "Who is The World?" Riley asked. Tower laughs "The best way to tell is to show". He pulled the eyepatch off to reveal a patch of scarred tissue was there in place of a socket. "The World is a powerful person with the power to turn fate around. I was meant to die but i lived. They showed the path and i followed. Now i am free". 'He's insane' the crew thought at the same time. "They are the one to save this country" Death said with a twisted grin "and we shall aid them. For we are the Major Arcana". Magician stayed silent, watching them with an empty expression.

"Hey, Idiots" Joel yelled as he knocked another barrel over "Next time you monolog, wait for us to be near death". The lid of the barrel busted open, spilling the water inside over the fire. Magician stepped back as the water extinguished the fire and made the floor to damp to light another. "Also, monitor all of us" Blane said as he cut down the tendrils holding Cyan. "Finally, don't show us your weakness" Cyan yelled. Her arm began to go transparent a bit before her fist met the scarred side of Tower's face "GHOST PISTOL". Her arm reappeared as blast of wind tossed Tower towards a railing.

Realizing their fates, Death and Magician decided that trying to beg for forgiveness with the boss is better than this. Just as Death began to pull the 3 others into a ball of plastic, a bird person lands on deck. "Halt" he says in a raspy yet intimidating tone. Then he gasps as he sees Magician. "Crap, SMOKE ESCAPE" Magician yelps as he tosses a ball onto the floor. It bursts open and causes smoke to cover the ship.

When it dissipates, all 5 of the men are gone.

"Thank god" Joel pants. "That's great, but who is he?" Blane asks pointing at the bird man. He then whispers something "The Prince is alive".

Meanwhile, Hermit watches them.

"They won 3 of 5. Not bad, future friends".

Trumpets sound as the crew are walked into the Royal Palace under the guise of "Ambassadors for the Pirate Kings". As they walked, Rex noticed a family portrait. 2 older women, one with blue hair and the other orange, and a boy no younger than 7. He recognized him.

Vivi sighed. 25 years since the fall of the World Government and the legendary defeat of Im. 'How does one use a person to break a hole into sea prism' she thought. It didn't matter anyways, she has bigger fish to fry. Like always. Day 1 of her new job of Queen of Alabasta and she has to deal with looting by former government agents. Since then, it's all been work.

'What a pain'. If only her love was still here, she'd at least put these clowns into debt. One thing that was constantly on her mind was.

"My Queen, Pell has news" Her Temporary 2nd in command and friend Koza bursts in "It's about The Prince, Samual is still alive".

"Wow, since when did you collect such artifacts" Rex asks, examining an artifact from dating to bronze age Dressrosa.

"Queen Nami was a mastermind at collecting debts. She would regularly gamble with pirates on a drinking contest and win. She would seize the loot and let them deal with whoever shows up to catch them" Pell laughs.

"Wait. 'When' and 'would', she didn't?" Joel asks, his face going pale.

"Leave to continue her dream? Yes" Pell said to calm the boy's nerves.

Pell stopped and turned to a door, one of gold, jade, and red lacquer. "Please keep calm, it's 4:30 or 'Buzzard's Time".

"Buzzard's?" Cyan asked as Pell opened the door.

She witnesses 3 people, 2 men and a woman, holding 5 people in grey cloaks, 3 men and 2 women, back from the Queen.

Vivi had, for the lack of a better word, matured. She wore her sky blue hair down and let it flow like a waterfall. Her white dress and gold jewelry almost made her look like a goddess. She was also bored and annoyed until she saw Cyan and Company. "CYAN!" She yelled excitedly, she pushes away the 8 people and proceeded to hug the blue haired pirate tightly "How's my favorite Niece?".

"HEY" The other four yelled in jealousy.

"My queen," One of the cloaked people, A taller tanned man with black hair and a white mohawk, said "Mind telling us who these brats are".

Cyan clenched her fist as Vivi turned "My apologies, these are The Diamond Pirates, or my nieces and nephews. Cyan here is the daughter of the Pirate King Himself, Monkey D. Luffy. The Pink haired boy is the son of the pirate hunter, Roronoa Zoro. The lovely 3 eyed is the daughter of the black leg, Sanji. This handsome boy is son of God Usopp. And this horned fellow is the son of the Cotton Candy eater Chopper and Demon Child Nico Robin".

The 5 cloaked people's jaws drop as they stood before powerful men and women.

"Omigawd" one of them, a young woman with short pink hair and pale skin, squeels as she begins bombard Joel with questions "Where are you from? Is there more than one shard? Is the King Ship as powerful as a castle? Can is fly? Did The King kill Im? Are you single?".

"Uh" He tries to think as more questions come his way until another person, a man with bandages and a oni mask covering his face, grabs her by the cloak "Settle down, Lala, it's rude to treat guests like that".

"Shut it, Carold" She scoffs before returning to her spot on the line up.

"I guess more introductions but for my Advisors" Vivi said that last part in disgust "You've already know the names of Carold and Lala plus the other guy named Kira, but the other 2 are Earnhardt and Lia".

Earnhardt was a chiseled man with green hair and piece of metal where is right eye should be. Lia was an middle aged black woman with ruby red lipstick and a bee comb in her hair.

"These 4, however," Vivi's voice raised in more excitement "Are the royal guard captains. You met Pell but here's Chaka, Koza, and Rasa". The 4 looked a bit older than last time but just the same.

"Enough introductions" Lia said in a snobby tone "I do believe the reason we came was an update on Prince Samual".

Rex's ears perked "Wait, What happened to him?".

Vivi's cheery demeanor shifted to one of mourning "He-he went missing 2 years ago. We found his supplies scattered across a Sand Dragon nest and we excavated. Nothing. Rarely, they would eat bones. But still". 7 of the 8 shared similar faces of sorrow.

But not Pell. "Well, My Queen, I made a discovery. He's alive".

Rasa punches the man's back "Don't joke like that".

"I'm not, Rex help me out".

The Deer Boy took a step back before remembering "well, he did smell like Samual. And he did say he loved chemistry and Magician's whole shtick was that".

"That is not enough information, Rex-Comrade" Earnhardt said with a thick accent.

"It's enough for me" Vivi said, she smiles as tears roll from her cheeks "Start the search again". She claps her hands, signaling the end of the meeting.

On the outskirts of The Capitol, an army appears. Some rising from the sand, others running to the meet-up. What mattered is that they where growing in numbers.

"Ah" Cyan sighed as she laid on a couch.

"What's the matter with you" Riley said, popping a bottle of sake.

"This couch is comfy".

"It should be, Cyan-Comrade" Earnhardt said as he and the other 4 walked out "It's made with only made highest quality materials, courtesy of Wano".

The clothing of the 5 where different as the cloaks where missing. Fitting his mummy-like appearance, Carold had bandages covering him head to toe with only sand coloured shorts and a red vest to his name.

Lala had a Crimin crop top with ripped jeans, with drew glares of disapproval from said Mummy.

Kira wore armor that somehow made him both under and over dressed.

Earnhardt wore a greyish green undershirt and combat jeans, a cigar the size of a hand was in the front pocket.

Finally, Lia wore a red and gold dress with silver heels.

Blane and Joel had the same thought as the 5 took there seats "What type of Advisors are you guys?".

Lala jumped at the opportunity to answer "I'm the Advisor of The Youth, I'm in charge of what's in and what is out. Mummy-dude here is the Advisor of History, the guy who monitors what is to written about our country or whatever. Lia is the Advisor of The Wealth, it has something to with money. Earnhardt is the Advisor of The Battle, he says when or where we go to war. And Finally, Kira is The Advisor of The Land. I really don't know what that means". The 2 look at the others, who gave a shrug.

"All i want to know if there's an Advisor of Food because I'm hungry" Cyan complained.

"Relax, I'll take care it" Riley said before getting up and approaching Kira "Mind telling me where the kitchen is?".

"Just go down the hall and turn left, it literally has a sign" She nods before walking out.

Meanwhile, Vivi stayed in the Throne Room. She was waiting for someone. After the Advisors and The Diamonds left, Pell informed her about the other news. She was worried. She knew members of Baroque Works wormed out of the net that had cast upon the country that day but to start a new group. In her hand, she fiddled with Tarot Cards. The Fool, The Hermit, The Tower, The Sun, The Moon, Death, The Magician, and The World. She never believed the stuff but today, it was gonna change in a way.

The Magician. Rex and Pell said it was him. It couldn't be. He's.

"Hey, i don't want to sound rude but can you tell me what happened to Samual?" Rex asked. Lia spat out her wine in shock as the mood turned grim.

"He ran out. He said he was gonna find a rare cactus for his research but he could've asked. The night was colder than what Alabasta was known for."

Kira continued "Then reports flooded in about Sand Dragons moving closer to cities to get warm. After that, a search party began. The Prince couldn't have ran that far, he wasn't know for his speed".

Finally, Carold spoke "It was day 2 when we found the supplies. Clothes, rotting food, firewood, everything else. It seemed that he left in a hurry as fading tracks showed. We prayed that he was still running. We found a nearby nesr and excavated it. We found more supplies, including his shreds of clothing. His clothes".

Rex was disheartened. He'd met Samual before. He was nice, polite kid with knack for learning. One of the many reasons why his parents kept going to Alabasta. They stopped visiting once Nami left for god knows where.

"It really took a toll on the country" Lala said "a trend began about hunting down Sand Dragon nests and breaking their eggs. We had to put guards near them to stop the species from going extinct. But the biggest toll was on the Queen herself. You know how she acted like a teenager when she saw you. It developed as a safety mechanism so others outside the Staff saw how bored and sad she was".

Carold nudged her to stop.

"I-I'm sorry for bringing it up" Rex said.

"It is alright, Rex-Comrade" Earnhardt said "We felt it is necessary to know what happened".

"Man, i feel sad now" Cyan said "Right, Bla-".

He had fallen asleep.

Vivi stared at the painting of her; her wife, and her son. When they adopted him, he was a helpless baby. The day he left, he looked like her Wife in a way. She smiled as tears rolled from her cheek.

"I hope I'm not interrupting anything" A man said as he decended from the ceiling, a slimy plop echoed as he made a cushion.

"Galdino, long time no see. You're not interrupting anything". The man stood up, his 3 shaped hair was just a big as ever. His cloak of patchworks shielded his striped suit and pants.

"2 years" He says.

"The Day He vanished is tomorrow" She sighs.

Riley eavesdropped as she waited for the oven to heat 'Uncle 3'. "I must warn you, Vivi, you have to evacuate the castle. We have stolen information about tomorrows mourning ceremony. They are planning on killing you". Riley holds in a gasp.

"I can't, he's still out there. Pell and Rex told me, He is still alive".

"I understand that the 2 years have been tough but you can't hold hope for that long".

"You can't say that, he's still with us".

"We searched every inched of that tunnel, we turned it into a pit but everything points to his demise".

"You're WRONG".

"We had every user who was free show up to search, he's gone. Please evacuate. It's dire".

"I WILL NOT LEAVE UNTIL WE FIND HIM".

"IT CAME FROM THE CASTLE".

Silence.

Riley began to tear up at the argument.

"What" Vivi said in anger and sadness.

"The message we intercepted came from within the building".

"What level was it?".

"The very top". She drops the cards in shock. Someone in the castle not only was a mole, but the leader. Riley scuttled off to cook before anything else happened.

"Who do we have?".

"The closest group to Alabasta" He responded "The irony is amazing".

She nods "Please leave". He salutes before leaving via the windows. She turns and slams her hand on the wall. What was she going to do.

The next day, Cyan had made her way to kitchen and found Riley asleep next to a, now cold, feast.

10:30. An army gathers outside of the city. Far from eyes.

"The Boss said wait we are getting bored" A man in a white suit said as he spun his wife.

"Let's just charge" The woman in the black dress agreed.

"NONSENSE" a militaristic woman said "We must remain until the signal is given". The duo sighed.

Vivi screams. Everyone rushes over to the Throne Room. The doors slam and they behold a terrifying sight. 4 men, 1 one the throne and 3 surrounding him, and the Queen with a rope around her neck. "My Queen!" The 4 captains charged only for the Queen to yell "Stop".

They do "Don't get closer". One of the men, a skinny man with a burlap sack mask and withered pants held up with rope, laughs "You better listen. One wrong move and she dies".

"Who are you?" Rasa yells in anger.

"I'm the Hanged Man" the man cackles "The pirates know who these guys are". They stared in shock. Before them was The Tower and The Fool. And on the throne was The Hermit.

"Well, well, well" He smiles "Look what the Lizard Runner dragged in. The Diamond Pirates and the 5 Advisors".

"Hermit" Cyan growled, he fists clenched tight.

"Settle down, friends" He says as he draws and spins his pistol "Just let us execute the Queen and take this sand hole and nothing bad is gonna happen". The room went dead silent. The loud sound was each other's beating hearts. Fear and anger rose. Why did they want this place.

Rex then yelled "NEVER".

15 of the 18 people in the room clenched their teeth in surprise. The other 4 laughed. "Any and all deaths are your fault" The Hermit pointed his gun to the roof.

BANG

Chapter Text

25 years ago, Monkey D. Luffy founded the The Pirate King Union. He along with 10 other pirate captains claimed the 11 shards of the One Piece, leaving only one unclaimed. They challenged the world to claim it to join their ranks. Many tried and many failed, but one challenger is determined to claim it. Her name is Monkey D. Cyan. With a bounty of 30 million on her head, she along with her 4 crewmates will claim that last Shard.

BANG

The ground shook. The people of Alubarna began to panic as smoke clouds surround the city. Soon, men in with brown masks with cup drawings leap over the walls and began to attack random soldiers. Then the clouds climbed up the stairs, revealing more men with masks. Some had swords, others had wands and coins. Either way, this spelled trouble for the capitol.

"Hyahahahaha" The Hanged Man laughed "Welcome to my special hell, Vivi. RAD KNOT". His back spewed ropes that tied themselves around the Queen. He pulled out a knife and began to drag the woman towards him.

"QUEEN, NOOOO" Rex yelled as he charged, only for a pillar of amethyst to charge into him and knocking him down.

"REX" Cyan yells "Alright, Gale-Gale Pis-".

Before she could call out her attack, The Fool throws a series of small fireworks "Hammer Space:  Bombes Fumigenes". The fireworks explode, releasing a thick cloud of smoke. Cyan falls to the floor, coughing like crazy. She had been through smoke before but this stuff was different. The others backed away.

"Not so fast, Tower Wall". Towers of sandstone and marble emerge from the ground and block the group from backing away, with the pillars fusing into a wall once they reached the roof.

Soon the smoke reached Rex who began to cough 'This smoke is different' He yells in his mind.

"Enjoying it, Good Doctor" Hermit teased, a hint of pity in his voice "It's made from the normal ingredients of gunpowder with a dash of Blood Wind Cactus dust. Once inhaled, they cause irritation that even the most iron lunged person will start coughing".

'Blood Wind Cactus?' Rex thinks to himself before having a realization. "Blane" He croaks out between coughs "Smoke...Spark...Sword". Blanes nods as he takes 2 blades he picked up from the armory and began to sharpen them against each other. Lia takes notice and pulls out a lighter. 'Blood Cactus dust, activated ingredients in gunpowder, flames, all we need now is 2 quarter cups of olive oil' Rex says to himself.

Right on queue, 2 small wooden vials fly through the windows and spill the liquid of olives into the air. The Smoke turns blue before dissipating. Soon Cyan and Rex stand up, Cyan's skin and Rex's horns shine like clean metal. "What the hell" Tower, Fool, and Hanged Man yell in confusion as Hermit smiles 'You caught the hints, kid'.

"You see," Rex began to explain "When the smoke and cactus dust mixed, it formed a gaseous form of the compound called Caesar-A. When mixed with olive oil and ignited-".

"It creates Solution-37O, commonly used as skin and horn care product. It seems to also works as a gas as well" A voice yells from the window. They look up to see Magician with 8 more vials of olive oil for a just in case reason. "WHAAAAAAA" The 3 yelling men get confused further.

"So, the rat shows himself" Hermit says with a fake scowl 'This day is just getting more interesting'.

"So-Magician, are you here to help your friends" Vivi yells as she got closer to the blade.

"HA, sorry Mo-Vivi. No, SCREW THIS ACTING" He throws off his costume to reveal the face of the Prince, only older.

"S-s-s-s-s" Vivi stuttered before yelling out "SAMUAL". Tears flooded her and Rex's eyes as the former royal slides down velvet drapes to the floor.

"Mom, I'll explain later. Just go" He throws a rock at The Hanged Man, making him drop the noose and release the back ropes. Vivi runs toward the group and they began to open the false wall up with force as The Hanged Man regains balance.

"You two timing bastard. PILLAR REVOLT" Tower yells as a series of pillars emerge from every crevice of the room "This is the true terror of CALAMITY". 'My, my. How would they clean this up?' Hermit said as he watched like kid listening to a radio show.

Outside, chaos builds as a wheel spins in front of a cowering man. It lands on a picture of fire and the man engulfs into flames. "Rohohohohoho" A man with scarred bald head and blue suit with black rose laughs "You lose".

"Bit sadistic, Wheel" A man with long brown hair and black prison jumper says as he throws a bleeding guard off the wall.

"Wow, hypocritical much".

Just as an argument was about to unfold, a man flies over them in a tornado of sand. "That can't be good" They say at once.

"Now, MASSACRE STAMPEDE" The Pillars began to charge towards the group when suddenly the room fills with swirling sand.

"What the heck is going on" Riley yells as she walks out the kitchen, only to be kicked back a man with wearing a suit that looked like a combination of a king's and office worker's clothes.

"None shalt enter this area without facing me, The Emperor". 'Great, another weird card guy' She said to herself as she got into a fighting stance. "Very well" Emperor pulled out a long cutlass and charged. She dodged and kept trying to attack, only for her to pull away before being sliced. She growled to herself, she's losing to a guy with a dumb sword.

The Sand began dissipate and, to Tower's horror, the pillars and the others disappeared with the exception of Vivi, Hanged Man, and the former warlord and current Straw Hat Offence Fleet member Crocodile. He back up a bit only for the towering man to appear behind him. "You brats made a mistake copying my formula" He said with a cigar in his teeth.

"Damnit, Take this" A pillar of red carpet barreled into Crocodile's head, destroying it. It retracts and Tower smiles in relief. It dies when his head reformed.

"No one taught you that Logia's can't get hurt like that" He says before grabbing the Pillar Man by the neck "Now for your next lesson". He sucks the moisture out of the man before dropping him to the floor like a used napkin.

The Hanged Man froze until he feels something under his feet. He looks down to see grass growing. "Tanglia" A series of vines began to ensnare the Rope Man before leaving him in a standing position.

"Nice to see you got control of your Devil Fruit" Crocodile complimented "What was it called again?".

"The Tropi-Tropi Fruit" Vivi said with face that read 'I want this man to die but first help me' "You should remember as you left it last time you visited". The tension built until they busted out laughing. Despite the sand and mummified and dried tarot wannabes, they enjoyed a laugh that, 25-27 years ago, wouldn't have happened.

Then she gasped "Where is everyone?".

The Former Warlord shrugged "They split up, some went out the window and other that hole" He pointed to a hole cut in the wall.

She sighed before perking up "Then we must follow". She charged in like a little kid. He sighed and follows, pulling his wrist up to the snail on it "You may begin the assault on The Major Arcana. Be weary, some have Devil Fruits and One may have Haki".

Galdino puts his snail in his pocket and turns the scene before him, all five Advisors downed by a young tanned man wearing clothing that resembled one worn by the ancient Moon Peoples and carrying a large scythe with a bayonet on top. "It seems these Advisors fell fast" The young man felt a shiver go up his spine as he looked up "You must be the lunar archeologist Jackson Buu, or do you just go by The Star now?".

Buu stepped back in shock "H-how did you know?".

"You don't think the former members of Baroque Works wouldn't keep track of copycats" The Wax Man Laughed "We also know about the scars. Why do all you have them?".

He dropped his weapon and backed away "You don't understand. The World can do anything, even change the fate of the dying. His cards can alter our fate in any which way. That's why I mustn't speak anymore".

The Former Agent raises his eyebrow as he places his hand on a wall "How can he use these 'cards' of his?". Silence. Galdino sighs "If you won't tell me, then I must warn you not to look up". He does and his eyes widened at seeing a large mass of dried candlewax hang above him. "You'd be surprised at the things you learn in the New World".

SNAP!!!!!!!

The wax fell and knocked Buu unconscious. The Wax Man leaves, dissatisfied by his battle.

Meanwhile, Wheel of Fortune and The Devil began to dodge bullets from a woman with purple hair. "Geeerogerogerogero" She laughed "It seems you can't lay a finger on me. Now, what where your names again? Oh right! Trebek Tyche and Ted Manson".

"DAMN TOAD" The Devil, aka Ted, yelled.

"Alright, time to test your luck" Wheel of Fortune, aka Trebek, said as a wheel poofs into existence.

"Neat gimmick" The woman said "I used to do them too. I was known as Miss Father's Day".

"WAIT, you're-" Ted was about speak before being interrupted "Former Baroque Works Frontier Agent Nancy aka Miss Father's Day, at your disservice".

"Guess this is celebrity edition" Trebek laughs.

"By the way, Toots, this isn't a gimmick. This is my DEVIL FRUIT" He yells as he spins the wheel "This is the result of the Lucky-Lucky Fruit. Land on a square and it affects the victim I choose. If it lands on fire, you go up in flames. If it lands on anvil, you get a concussion. And if it lands on bomb, you don't want to know". 'There was another option' She thinks before speaking "What's the golden sliver for then".

"GEEEEEEEEEEET REAL, Has Been. Chances of hitting gold are slim to-" The Wheel lands on the gold "None". Just like that, both he and Ted pass out. "Well shit" She says to herself before pulling out the transponder snail "2 down, The Wheel and The Devil".

"SCHNEIDEN, SCHNEIDEN, SCHNEIDEN, SCHNEIDEN" The Emperor yelled as he swung his blade at Riley.

"Sword-Wielding Bastard, COLLIER" She tries to kick his neck only to be blocked by his blade.

"Naughty Girl, Kinder Bestrafer" He spun his blade like a saw and tried to cut her into pieces but she dodged, only cutting her cheek.

"How do you know all my moves?" She yells in pain.

"'Twas quite simple, I've studied the Black Leg Style since the Pirate King's Cook revealed the secrets. Many imposters, like yourself, have tried to master and many have fallen to me. Now DIE." He sent his blade down, she dodges. Barely.

'This man must have a beef with Black Leg Style, He knows every move' She stops and remembers.

 "Anything can break when you hit it hard enough" He snickered before dodging an onslaught of slices from Natasha. After one slash, he lands on the sword before dodging bullets by Barrett.

"This is getting tiresome" He yawns "Let's finish this".

'For once, I agree with a flashback'.

"Now, KINDER BESTRAFER". He spun his blade once again, but this time she was ready. She watched as the blade spun, moving her head with it. Then she jumped and landed on the blunt side of the blade. He stopped spinning out of shock. She then spun on a one foot on the sword, slowly raising her leg.

"What the-" Before he could speak, she slams her foot into the blunt side. It starts to crack. Before it shattered, she lunged toward The Emperor.

"LANGUE" She kicks him in the mouth before using his now open jaw as footing to jump over him. She lands on her hands before pushing back, kicking him in the lower back "RUMSTECK". Emperor falls the ground, yelling in pain. His hands land on the shards of sword.

"Those-those aren't moves" He groans and she runs around him.

"I've learned something that the fakers haven't. Add onto the style for flavour. If you want something familiar, then COLLIER" She kicks him in the neck, knocking him out.

"Bastard, now time to find my friends" She ran off.

"Dammit, lost. Just like Dad" Blane grumble as he stumble onto the roof. There, on top of the memorial to The Tsumegeri Guards, was The Fool.

"Gahahahaha, miss me" He laughed "I did. I missed the sweet taste of your defeat".

"You Laughing Fool" Blane mutters.

"GAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" He laughs as he rises, a scythe is pulled from his cloak "Why don't we try again?".

From the 5 unconscious bodies, one rises.

Samual ran down the corridor until he is met by a whip to the face. He rolls back and gets up "Dawn".

"The name, A-Hole, is High Priestess" The young lady said in an attire that looked like a mix of a punk rocker and a nun "Word on the proverbial street is that you turned tailcoat on us. NOT COOL, BROSKY".

"Can it, Cloud, I was never apart of this".

"And after what The World did for you, for us, we could've ruled this place together".

He sighs "I-I know. If it wasn't for family, I would've joined you. But, won't let my Mom die!"

"Then I guess we fight".

The Blood on their clothing dripped like rain over a canopy.

Joel stumbles into the barracks, coming face-to-face with Chariot. "HARK, Aren't you the sniper" He laughs "This will be easy".

"No, I mean Yes" Joel fake laughs "Easy for me".

Chariot tilts his head "Really, a teen with below average build and a fear of anything unfamiliar will beat me?".

Joel is startled "How did you know all that".

"Listen, back when I was a Sergeant, I analyzed my crew to see if which goes where. And you, my slingshot and sword newbie, would've been used as a meat shield".

"MEAT SHIELD" He yells out in offence "I'll show you".

Blades extend from their sleeves.

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHO" A Woman slams an ax down in front of Riley "OHO, I am The Empress". 'ANOTHER WEIRDO' Riley yells. The Woman was dressed like a fairytale queen "Time to DIE".

Lia lifts her head and sees the person. "NO, It's you". A series of tower tarot cards surround her before slamming into her. Her ribs shatter and she passes out.

Rex stumbles down a flight of stairs, landing at a door. He opens it and finds two people dancing along with several men and women in masks. "Oh my, look what the Sand Cat dragged in" One of women said.

"Oh dear, time skin a deer" The Man with her said. They pointed at Rex, making the others rush him.

The Man walked into the dining room, putting on a skull helmet to cover his visage.

The Members of The Militia are surrounded. Men and women of all shapes and size with all manner of weaponry stare them down. "BEHOLD, THE WORLD'S CLEAVER" A Woman clad in military get up yells "YOU MUST FALL BEFORE MIGHT".

"Yoho, This is gonna be a blood bath" Brook laughs.

"Indeed" Crocodile laughs "For them".

Cyan sat on a dining room table, eating a piece of chicken she found on it. It tasted horrible but food was food. "Monkey D. Cyan" an ominous voice said, making her turn.

It was The World.

To Be Continued.....

Chapter Text

25 years ago, Monkey D. Luffy founded the The Pirate King Union. He along with 10 other pirate captains claimed the 11 shards of the One Piece, leaving only one unclaimed. They challenged the world to claim it to join their ranks. Many tried and many failed, but one challenger is determined to claim it. Her name is Monkey D. Cyan. With a bounty of 30 million on her head, she along with her 4 crewmates will claim that last Shard.

Blane vs. The Fool

"This won't end like last time" The Fool laughed as he jumped from the memorial and spun his body like a saw blade.

Blane blocked the attack with his swords, surprising The Fool "YEOWCH, since when did you get good".

"Difference is that last time, we weren't prepared" Blanes growled before pushing his opponent back "Now we know your tricks, I won't lose again".

"GAHAHAHAHAHA" The Fool laughed "Seen everything? You really think that?".

"I know that without your coat, you can't pull crap out of thin air".

"GAHA, good luck trying to rea-" Just as he taunted, his cloak fell to pieces. "H-HOW DID YOU DO THAT?".

"Remember that push?".

The Fool grit his teeth before charging. "You idiotic child, how dare you break the Sheet of Fate" Fool growled as he began to slash at Blane. He smirked and blocked each slash. "GODDAMMIT" The Puppet Man screamed in frustration "Time to bring in the troops". He snaps his fingers and multiple people with cup masks descend from the sky "Introducing the Troops also know as Soldats Fantoches. They are my wooden soldiers that do what I say. Now Avance". He pointed his scythe at Blane and the troops advanced towards him.

No matter how many times he struck them down, they got back up and continued.

'Dammit, why won't they go down. Dad used to train me to cut down wood but yet these idiot keep getting up' He swore in his mind. They began to gang up on him, one by one, and attacked each time. His blocking started to become useless. While Quetzalcoatl remained unscratched, the two other swords began to chip and crack. He began to look at the soldiers closely until "I GOT IT". 

He slashed above them, making them fall to the floor. "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT" The Fool screamed in anger and confusion "How did you find out?".

"You called them Puppets. From what I remember, puppets have strings".

"But there are Shadow Puppets and Hand Puppets, how did you know?".

"I just felt it, I guess" Blane smirked.

"Felt it? HA. Are you saying that you have Haki or something? Only 5 people from the East Blue have Haki and you dare compare yourself to those 5".

"Maybe, let's see where I go". With that, Blane charged at The Fool. The man tried to block but he was out sped.

SLASH

The Fool coughed as blood fell from his chest "Damn.........you.......Swordsman".

He fell to the floor with a thud. "Haha, Who's The Fool now? Wait".

Winner: Blane

Samual vs High Priestess

With one slash, High Priestess's Halberd destroyed a pillar. "Come out, Magician, you can't hide from fate" She called, her eyes red from crying. Samual hid from his friend, she'd gone through 15 weapons, each dissolved by a chemical he created. He was out of ingredients, all he had left was a meat hook for a weapon. But a tiny hook against that thing, he would be an idiot to face it.

But it didn't matter, soon she would find him. The Girl he once called an ally. The Girl he once thought of as beautiful.

Beaten, bloody, cut, shredded. Those where the words that described Samual's current state. He was broken like a toy left to the elements. It was torture that death kept him waiting.

His eyes went foggy when he saw a figure approach him.

He awoke with a jolt. His body was covered in silk blanket, like the ones from home. He pulled the blankets off and gasped. His body was normal. Well, kind of. The parts that had been shredded where now grey. He laughed "Guess I can't be greedy".

"Finally awake, O' Prince" He turns to see a girl the same age as him sitting at the end of his bed. Her brown eye contradicted her naturally grey hair and scalp. He grimaced at the idea of what it meant. "Yep, take it in" She laughed "Got scalped and almost bled out".

"That sounds...pleasant" Samual tried to lie.

"You don't need to sugar coat it. It hurt like hell. But, like you, I was saved by The World".

"The World?".

"Never heard of him? Should have guessed that the castle kept information away. He's the leader of a group called 'The Major Arcana'. It's like Baroque Works but with healthcare". She then gasped "Stupid me, I forgot to tell you my name. It's Cloud Dawn but I go by the name High Priestess, it keeps with the tarot card theming".

"Huh, then who am I?".

She paused before smiling "Magician, if memory serves me right".

Samual smiled "Magician, I like it".

"You should. Now then, Magician-Broski, let's get a move on or Judgement will throw a temper tantrum". She laughed as she walked out of the room. The Room. He was preoccupied by her that he didn't notice the room. It was like a fortune teller's hut. Stars and Moons dotted the walls as he moved his head. He soon noticed the table full of tubes and beakers. It was a small lab.

'He knows everything about me' He thought. The door knocked as Dawn's voice yelled "LET'S GO".

He stood up and walked out.

His memory was cut short as the halberd destroyed the pillar he was hiding behind "FOUND YOU". Samual jumped back at the attack, dropping his only weapon. "Not very smart, Mr. Prince. Like when you betrayed me and ditched me to save your Mom. You remember our plan right".

How could he forget. It was the same day as when he awoke.

"And that's how I 'died' to a dragon" He said, startling Dawn.

"Jeez, that's why you looked like a torn piece of trash? That makes my story less painful" She laughed.

"Really? All you've told me is that you got a permanent shave. Who did scalp you?". Her smile faded as memories flooded her mind. Memories that burned like red hot iron.

"Let's change the subject" She mutters.

"Alright, what is like here? Other than being yelled at by a weirdo in a blindfold".

"Eh, not as bad as other organizations. We get orders from The World, they get passed to Judgement for arrangement, then we go to our missions".

"I meant what to for entertainment" Samual stated.

"Oh, uh, not much. I know The Devil has a pinball machine but I recommend not talking to him outside of meetings, he's a bit mad".

"Yeesh" Was all Samual said before looking at the hall they were at. Rows of men and women with masks sat either chatting, eating, or just sitting there. However, the table they sat at was different. It was massive, circular table with 21 spots. In each spot was a member of the Major Arcana from The Fool to Judgement. One was missing however.

"Say, where's The World" Samual asked.

"He eats alone" Dawn stated "He wears a mask to hide his face. No one knows what's behind it".

"AND NO ONE WILL" Judgement yells.

"Does he-".

He gets cut off "Do that every time someone mentions The World's Face? Yes". She laughs "Man, I can't wait for this shit show to end".

"Shit show, what shit show?".

She gestures at the entire hall "I'll explain later, just wait don't mention it during the meeting".

After a few hours of announcements and assignments, Samual returned to his room. "What kept ya waiting?" Dawn said.

"Restroom," He sat down on his bed "So what was that you mentioned about a Shit Show".

She looked around before answering his question "There's a rumor with the Minor Arcana that there is a traitor among us. We don't know who, only that they have high enough clearance to access the final plan".

Is-is that you" He asks, much to her fear.

"Good Goda, no. I wouldn't dare do that" She said "However, I-I do welcome it".

He looked shocked. She was constantly praising this entire group and now she was allowing it die.

"Your surprised, aren't you? I would be too. But I have my reasons. Mainly I just want live a normal life. Away from any chains".

"Well, I welcome it too" He said with a smile "I want to go home. With Mom and Mother, I want to see them again".

"Well then, here's the plan" Dawn stated "Once things turn tits up, we book it together and hide. Hopefully he doesn't find us".

Samual nodded "Then what?".

Dawn smirked before grabbing his shoulder "Whatever you want".

"That was the plan. SIMPLE AND EASY. But no, your Mom was more important. Why don't you j-just follow" Dawn's rage turned to sadness as she fall to her knees crying. "I wanted us to leave together"

"Dawn" The Prince said with a hint of regret.

"You didn't want to be apart of this and neither did I. We could've left together. Away from the Marines. Away from the PKU. Somewhere where we'd both be safe".

"Both?" Samual said with confusion.

"Your royalty, Brosky. If you got arrested, worst scenario is that you would be imprisoned in your room until your old enough to take your mother's place. I'm a criminal. If I was caught, It's Impel Down or the Fleet for me. I wanted to leave but was afraid. With you, I-I felt confident. I-I-I-" She began to cry harder. Samual stared on before embracing her.

"Don't worry, I'll save from any prison" He said as she began to calm down.

Dawn hugged Samual back as she cried into his shoulder.

Winner: Samual

Joel vs Chariot

Chariot twirled his gladius as Joel moved his hand to his pouch for ammo "Let me guess, gonna blind me with some powder then slice me. Am I not correct?".

Joel paused "Wait, how'd you-".

"Distraction Tactic 57. First used during the War in Centauria over 500+ years ago. It was tactic that Vice Admiral Shogu used to win the Battle of Moldy Peer".

"What are you talking about?".

"I have studied every single combat strategy known to man. From the simple charge of ancient men to the Shatter, used only once by The Pirate King Himself. Nothing you have will be able to startle or hurt me" Chariot then taunted "Try again, Tengu". Joel growls before using his signature Molotov Star Combo. Chariot dodges it. "Even your little Alcohol Mess has been done once".

Joel leered in anger 'Damnit, he seems to know everything'. Then a thought came to his mind 'almost everything'. Before he can try his "New Trick", Chariot charged at him.

Joel rolled out of the way, grabbing his rapier and readying himself for a fight. Chariot smacks his sword against him shield, impressed at the kid's sudden jolt of bravery.

"Alright then, let's dance" Chariot laughed as they charged at each other.

Metal scrapes and sparks flies as their blades met. Joel was being pushed against wall before he dodged a jab to his neck. He moved behind the Major Arcana member but was caught off guard by his sudden spin to face the pirate.

"Not very sneaky kiddo" Chariot taunted before the tip of his sword open up, revealing a small hole "Now time to add some smoke. Kapnos". A thick smog was released from the hole, engulfing the room.

Soon the room was as thick as the Reaper's fog. "Kapnos kai Kathreftes" Chariot said from the musty smoke. Suddenly, his shadow approached Joel. The young man snickered at the sudden lack of awareness. He charged at the figure, blade thrusting into the blackness. Suddenly the figure fell apart into the smoke.

Joel looked confused until three more shadows appeared, blades ready. Joel tried to dodge but he was too slow. They brought down their blades simultaneously. Joel yelped, ready to meet his maker, when the figures fell apart once they touched him.

Joel's confusion grew more as more began to approach him, blades ready to slash. At first, he got cocky and took each "slash". At least until one actually slashed him across the chest. The Figure jumped back as Joel fell to his knees, groaning in pain.

"Poor little Tengu, too cocky for his own good" Chariot mocked "Maybe he should've stayed in Wano with the rest of his kind. Or did his flock kick him out". The shadows silently laughed along with the real one, which ever it was.

Joel gripped his head in frustration. He was everywhere and nowhere all at once. A foe with great skill of illusion able to trick the mind. Then words from his father to mind "If a liar is too confident in his skills, then breaking said lie shall confuse them".

As if acting out of pure instinct, he grabbed his sword. A powerful rush of energy flowed through him as he muttered some words.

"King Spin Vacuum" He twirled his sword in his hand. Suddenly, all the fog was being sucked into the blade. Once he gained control of his body again, he laughed "Who's the cocky one now".

Chariot stood stunned before sputtering excuses and threats. He grabbed his head of anger "HOW".

"Now for the finale. Firework Star" He pulled out his slingshot with a very dusty pellet in it "Black Bull". He shot the pellet. As it flew, it explodes into a black bull. It charged into Chariot, sending him into a wall.

Chariot slumps onto the floor, defeated.

"Sorry, Buddy, but family never abandoned me" He tries to taunt but his mind went back to his sword "What are you?".

Winner: Joel

Riley vs. The Empress

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHO" Empress slams her axe down once more, making Riley lose her balance. "Young Lady, your charade of footwork is not gonna work".

Riley growled as she dodged another axe slam. 'Every time she slams her axe down, it's like a miniature earthquake shakes'. She rolls again, angered that she can't even think without an axe trying to bisect her.

"OHO. Give up girlie, your only prolonging fate" Empress laughed condescendingly.

Fate. Is that all these fucker's know, Fate? It's all she's spewed since she encountered the woman. "Enough of your fate bullshit" Riley swore before charging "I make my own fate!". She jumped into the air to kick axe away, only for her to be batted away.

"OHOHOHOHO" Empress laughed "Your heels may be sturdy, but eventually everything cracks under fate" She slams her axe down, causing stalagmites to erupt from the floor. Riley dodged most of them but was cut on the arm by one that sprung late.

"Damn Bitch" Riley swore as she grabbed her arm. She looked around and noticed the axe with vibrating. 'I need another good look'. She charged again, ignoring the pain. As she expected, Empress brought down her axe. She dodges and observed the weapon.

She was right, it was unnaturally vibrating. 'It's a machine'.

"Alright, time to even the field" Riley said with smile. Empress prepared herself for whatever this child had prepared.

.

.

.

Riley turned tail and ran away. "HEY, GET BACK HERE" Empress in anger as she chased down the young woman.

'That's right, follow me' Riley said to herself. Another smile graced her face.

As she ran, she retraced her steps. Near the kitchen was the bath chamber. She dodged another axe strike as she slid into the room. "Get back here you little shit" Empress yelled, flailing her axe around.

Thankfully, water was still flowing. "Okay, Princess, hit me".

"I am an Empressssssss" The Woman yelled before slamming her axe into the water. Suddenly, it began to smoke and shudder before exploding. Riley made use of the confusion in Empress and laid a kick on the woman's face. She stumbles as Riley kept it up. Finally, Empress Collapses into the water.

"Next time, don't cheat.

Winner: Riley

Rex vs. The Lovers

"DAMNIT" Rex swore as he dodged the army of assailants.

"Oh my, Merry, seems the poor calf is struggling" The Man laughed.

"Indeed Bary, maybe we should up the ante" The Woman said as she waved her hand around. Several of the dancers produced guns from their sides and began firing upon the hybrid.

'crud Crud CRUD' Rex thought as he ran from the hail of gun fire. Despite his best efforts, he felt a sudden pressure before burning in his shoulder. He fell on one knee and grabbed the area of impact. Just as he feared. He was shot.

"OHOHOHOHO" The Woman laughed "It seems our friends got a hit".

"HOHOHOHO" The Man laughed in response "Agreed, my love. Now, skin him". The Woman moved her hand around, causing some of the dancers to charge at him. Rex growled in pain as he felt the area of the shot. He sighed as he learned it was not only not fatal, but wouldn't impede much. He got up and dodged an attack.

"It seems you got bad shots for minions" Rex taunted before fighting back against both the army and the pain.

The Couple frowned as their minions got taken down. The Woman moved her hand back, making the minions retreat. "It seems we underestimated you" She said before moving her hand again "But now we known not to miss". The Gunmen readied as Rex made a retreat of his own, dropping his horns along the way. "Hm, it seems we might have a coward".

Rex ran into a secluded area as he began to reform his horns. After thinking about the shape, he decided on a new technique. It would take a while but he was the son of Nico Robin, stealth was in his blood.

"How hard is it to find an anthropomorphic deer creature" The Man yelled the minions as they seemed to look scolded.

"My Love, maybe we should call in reinforcements?" The Woman said with genuine concern.

The Man considered it until a dancer from the corner fell with a spurt of blood. "Sorry for the wait" Rex said. His antlers where now nubs but it didn't matter. In one of his hand was a spiral of horn, forming a circular shield. In the other was an antler sharpened to a blade. "But this was a technique that needed time. Behold 'Horn Form: Aegis and Grass Cutter'. These are the result of my unbreaking yield, cower".

He clanged the weapon and shield together and, while not making a metallic sound, it did make a sound.

"All the same" The Woman laughed "Now fire".

The Gunmen did so, but Rex blocked them with his shield. "Told ya this needed time" He said before charging the dancers. Despite his inexperience with the weapon, he cut down a good amount of the dancers. He blocked another barrage of bullets before charging into gunmen and thwacking another with his shield. He scowled at the couple before charging at them.

They gasped before The Woman waved hand, causing some of the gunmen to get in front of them. Rex caught this and sliced through the masks. The Gunmen collapsed as he jumped over them and brought sword down upon The Man.

"AGH" He yelled as he fell, a slash across his chest.

"ACK" The Woman said "How did you figure it out?".

"When your Father's a famous doctor, you learn about certain things and what they are. Despite not seeing it, I could recognize the Ally-Ally Fruit from the power. Those dumb masks control these poor people like slaves". Rex smiles "Which is why I only went for the face". The Woman growled before waving her hand.

Nothing.

She looked around and noticed that all her troops had their masks off and where standing, weapons drawn at them.

"Keep them alive, we need evidence for the Alliance" Rex said before walking away. The sound of people yelling filled his ears before he turned a corner and laughed with pride "OH GOD, I SOUNDED SO COOL"

Winner: Rex

Baroque Works vs. The Major Arcana

The field was set. On the enemy side was 100 or so Lesser Arcana, Strength, Hierophant, Justice, Temperance, and Judgement. On the hero's side was Brook, Daz Bonez, Zala, Marianne, Galdino, Drophy, Babe, Gem, Mikita, Leon aka Mr. 7, and Nancy. Oh, and of course, Crocodile and Vivi.

"Okay, we're gonna give you all a chance to surrender before we get bloody" Daz warned, his finger readying to slice.

"Like we would give up" Hierophant growled "Your group put both Sun and Moon into fevers. Now we're down two members".

'Two?' Vivi thought 'Didn't they take out three'.

"Fine, your funerals" Gem said before shooting. Bullet made contact with a lesser arcana before exploding. The Majors dodged before charging with surviving lessers. The first to clash was Daz and Justice. Justice raised a mallet and brought it down. Daz blocked and pushed it back. He swung a bladed arm but Justice blocked.

Meanwhile, Babe found himself facing Strength. Babe swung his bat at the woman, who grabbed it. He stared in shock as she lifts it out of his hands.

"Confused? Ha" She said she threw it behind her, hitting a Lesser Arcana "I ate the Feather-Feather Fruit. Anything I hold is as light as a feather, so weight is not a problem for me" She said as she picked up the man, spun around, and chucked him into a wall.

Drophy dug here under the soldier before emerging, knocking her off her feet. "Sorry, but you forgot that we work in pairs. Your just an idiot idiot idiot".

Strength squinted her eyes "A penguin?".

"I'M A MOLE" Drophy yells before diving into the earth.

"CONTACT" Hierophant yelled as he threw a ring of electricity at Galdino and Marianne.

"A devil fruit?" Marianne says as she prepares some paint.

"Impossible. Most, if not all, electric devil fruits have been consumed. This is something else".

"INDEED" Heirophant yelled "'TIS THE POWER OF SCIENCE". Electricity spelt Science from his palms. The Man was a white haired mad scientist with a large humpback and thick gloves with metal palms. "THIS INVENTION WILL LET ME CONTROLL ELECTRICITY AND SHAPE IT TO MY WILL".

"Why tell us?" Marianne questioned.

"I don't think he expects us to walk away with this info" Galdino said as balls of electricity grew in his hand.

"CONTACT" He threw the balls at the duo. Galdino erected a wall of wax to block the the balls.

"Are you sure this paint will work?" He asks the artist.

She smiles "I've been perfecting this with Misses Perona when she visits. It will work".

Leon and Nancy huffed as Temperance swung a lantern on a chain. "How is she doing his?" Leon hissed, grabbing his arm.

"Have you not heard? Flames from the Mount Strigoi in Elbaf never go out. This thing will burn and burn till we all die" Temperance laughs. She swings the lantern like a lasso, making flames erupt from it. She then bring it down on the duo. While they dodged the attack, they got burned in the process. "Haven't you not heard? Giving up is the best option for you Ohokokoko"

The two scowled as she laughs. "How the hell do we beat her?" Nancy questions. Leon thought for a minute then remembered something.

"Remember the clock tower cannon?" He said before getting up "I have an idea". She nods and they retreat, taunting her to follow them. She laughs and does.

Judgement stood over the defeat Mikita and Gem, a flaming sword in his hands. "No one should defy The World. For he is greatness and he is a god".

"Why don't you shut it..." Mikita growled before Judgement placed a foot on her head.

"Burn like the sinful skank that you are" He growls before trying to crush her head. Before he could Brook sent a wave of sound that push him back.

"The nerve of new pirates" Brook said as Zala helped the fallen duo "You have no manners or courtesy". Judgement huffed.

"I am not a pirate" Judgement said as he charged "I am a envoy to The World". He swung the blade but Brook dodged effortlessly.

"Yoho, so this is your only attack? A Toothpick on Fire?" Brook said as he unsheathed his cane sword "Well it seems you need to learn some more fast". A cold chill fills the air as Brook stared daggers at him.

Vivi and Crocodile delt with the mooks. They barely put up a challenge and acted more as fodder. Halfway through, half of the soldiers either removed their masks and ran or collapsed suddenly.

"Either things are getting easy or those brats did something" Crocodile said as he took down another mook.

"Those kids are strong," Vivi said "But how strong is their will?".

"What do you mean?".

"After this, they'll be entering the more feudal parts of the Grand Line. How long do you think they'll last".

Crocodile laughs "Cyan is like Luffy. She'll keep going forward, no matter what".

"Quit laughing" Tower yelled as he, Hanged Man, and Death descended from above "You fools have made us look like losers. Not suffer, suffer like the death-bound idiots you are".

'Just shut it' Death thought and pillars erupted from the earth. "We will not be treated like rejects, Pillar Octopus" Tower scowled as the pillars joined together into a monster. "Behold, the true power of the Pillar-Pillar Fruit. This is the strongest attack I have. NOW SUFFER". The Octopus slammed down a tentacle on the duo as Death and Hanged Man charged at them.

Before Hanged Man could pull another Rad Knot, Vivi smiled "Bladiria". Sharp blade like grass erupted from the earth, cutting the ropes "I'm not letting you tie me up again. Krakanus" Vivi yelled as thicker vines erupted along with the grass and smacked The Hanged Man away. "I might not look like it but I am a Straw Hat" She said as she walked over to him "You don't fuck with us".

Crocodile was dealing with Death, mainly his plastic tendrils. Despite his power being a Paramecia, Death showed he knew how to use his power to it's full extent. Crocodile smiled at the fact that this young man showed that the newer generation of criminals are just as dangerous. Bartolomeo owes him now.

Of course, Death would get a reward. Crocodile gathered the sands around him before he charged him.

Daz and Justice stared at each other. For Daz, his body was covered in bruises and welts. For Justice, he was covered in cuts and slashes. Despites the fact one has years of experience, they seemed evenly matched.

"I know you, Mr. 1" Justice said "You're stronger than me. Why act like we're even when we aren't?".

Daz laughs "Because I make my targets suffer". His arm morphed into a blade "Besides, I'm going easy on you to keep you alive. We were never given the order to kill".

Justice winced as a woosh of wind passed him. Daz was behind him. His mallet fell apart in his hand. As he turned to face his "equal", collapses from a large cut across his chest.

"Freakin' Luffy, just why won't you let me murder this trash".

"Damn...Penguin" Strength coughed before Drophy jumped out of the sand and slashed her. Before she could grab the mole woman, Drophy dug back down. Strength fatigues had been shredded and covered in blood. "I....can't...fail....The World" Strenght coughed before running to the bat she threw earlier.

Before she could grab it, Drophy emerged one last time and slashed her across the face.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH" She cried before collapsing.

"NOW TURN TO CRISPS" Hierophant chanted as a giant ball of electricity formed in his hand "CONTACT". Galdino created a ball of wax to block the attack. While it did work, it destroyed the ball. However, that's what Marianne wanted. As the electricity cleared, she lobs paint at the scientist.

"Contact" She says as it hit the man.

Hierophant was confused until an overwhelming sense of despair overcame him. He fell on his hand and knees "I-I AM A WORTHLESS HUMAN. I DON'T DESERVE TO BE A ALGEA".

Galdino blinked at the sudden change. "Told you Me and Misses Perona perfected it" Marianne said with a confident smile. Galdino nods as wax coated his fist.

"Let's just knock him out before the sand tarnishes the paint" He said before bonking the scientist over the head. Hierophant collapsed unconscious.

After a half an hour, they had made their way to the clock room. They grabbed what they came for as Temperance barged in.

"H-haven't you-you heard? Running from-from battle is cowardly move" She was out of breathe. As she swung her lantern, Leon and Nancy made their move.

BANG BANG

"AH" Temperance screamed as she dropped her weapon. Both of her shoulders had been shot "Why did you do that?".

The duo glared before pointing their weapons at her head "Haven't you heard? You're annoying" Leon said.

Temperance screamed before fainting. The duo shrugged before holstering their old weapons. "I'm surprised they didn't get rid of these. Or at least cleaned this place out" Nancy said. Leon ignored her as he stared at the other thing in the room. The Cannon from all those years ago. It's body was covered in rust and any gunpowder left was as soggy as mud.

'Why didn't they clean this place?'.

Zala was left in awe at the scene in front of her. Stand in front of Brook was the frozen body of Judgement. It happened in the blink of an eye. The once mighty warrior was now a living sculpture of ice.

"I've come along way, haven't I?" Brook said as he returned the blade into his cane.

Zala nods. She'd only heard about Brook, never saw him. If this was what one Straw Hat could do, how powerful are the others now?

Same story with Vivi an Crocodile. The Hanged Man was tangled in a series of briar bushes while Death was a living raisin covered in sand.

That just left Tower, who was fuming. "You heathens". The earth shook as more pillars joined the octopus. "BEAR WITNESS, ALL OF YOU" He screamed. Those who are left standing are lifted and flung like dolls. Vivi watched in both horror and rage as the tentacle began to smash into the walls of the castle.

Blane watched from above before he dodged a pillar that erupted next to him "What the hell-". Before he could finish, the floor collapsed under him.

Samual and Dawn ran as a tentacle smashes into the hallway, causing it to collapse. "Shit, someone pissed off Tower" Dawn said.

"I've only seen him fight a couple times, how bad is this?".

"He won't stop, until everything here is dead" She said before Blane fell on her, knocking her out. Before Samual can swear out the purple haired swordsman, Rex tackle hugged him behind.

"Samual, it's so great to see you again" He said with tears. Joel and Riley joined up and, soon, they began running with Blane having to carry Dawn.

"Hey, Blane, I need to talk to you about my weapon after this" Joel said.

"I AM TOWER. I AM CALAMITY" The man yelled, his face covered with a manic smile.

Those at the bottom could only watch. Not because they can't face him, more like what more damage could he do. Crocodile wanted to go up there and give him another taste of his weapon, but Vivi stopped him.

"We can't risk the people getting hurt. Even if we're stronger than him, I can see that attacking him would cause more damage".

"Dammit, Colors of Observation always ruins the fun" Daz growled as they dodged the attack.

"We can only hope for a miracle" Vivi said sorrowfully.

And, as she said, a miracle did happen. A series of purple cards surrounded Tower and crashed into him. He yells in pain before collapsing, making the pillars return back to the spots where they came from.

"Huh, seems like we didn't anything" Crocodile said before a wall from the castle erupted. From the wall, a tornado hovered out with a figure being beaten with debris inside "What the hell is that?".

Winner: Baroque Works

Cyan vs. The World

"You" Cyan said as she stood up "You must The World?".

"My my, you are keen" The World said, his mask distorting his voice. "May I give you a word of warning, Child, I am not the type of pirate to mess with. If I want, I could kill you with a wave of my hand. Now cease your anger and join the inevitable collapse of this queendom".

Cyan stood there, her hair covering her eyes. "You know something" She said before looking up "I know half the words you said and I still want to kick your ass".

"Is that your final answer?" World asked, his voice eerily calm. Cyan nods, he hands clenching into fists. "So be it". As he said, he waved his hand and tower tarot cards appeared around Cyan. "Tarot Predict: Tower" The cards proceeded to slam into each other as Cyan jumped out of the circle.

"Sorry, but I need even ground" She said as she landed on the floor. The World stood unmoving.

"Thou hath avoided a instant victory for me" They said, as if impressed "This may be a true challenge of my skill". Again, He waved his hand and series of Fool cards surround her. "Let the true combat begin, Tarot Predict: Fool". The Cards slammed into Cyan. She felt no different before noticing World charge at her.

She dodges and attempts a punch. The World dodges and cuts the young pirates cheek.

"Ouch" Cyan said as she grabbed her cheek "Unfair". She moved backed before sending a Ghost Pistol. It barely misses but still gave the leader a puff of anger.

"You are lucky, now suffer" A group of fortune cards surround Cyan before they invert "Tarot Predict: Reverse Wheel of Fortune". The Cards hit as Cyan threw another punch, only for her arm to cramp up.

"ACK" She yelped in pain "What the hell".

"Now" He said before summoning another circle of Towers "Tarot Predict: Tower". She forces herself to jump and avoid them.

"I have no clue what those things are but I ain't letting them hit me" Cyan yelled as she threw another Gale Pistol. This one actually hit The World and set him back.

He huffed and sharpened his blades "You are a foolish girl with idiotic ambitions. Die". He charged at the girl and swung his blades with precise fervor. Cyan dodged most but still got cut up.

Air built up from under her and yelled "Escape Gust" before launching back. Cyan landed far away from him and he growled.

"Get back here, you coward" The World yelled.

"Nah" Cyan said as she grabbed the wind "Rapid Air Slash". She threw smaller smaller wind chakram at the Tarot Maniac, who got struck by most of them.

"Tarot Predict: Fool" He yelled as Cyan was hit with more tarot card. Her chakram began to grow weaker and smaller until she was just throwing nothing. Then, he charged.

Before Cyan could react, she was stabbed.

"I see now" The World said as he sunk his blade deeper in Cyan's gut "You're a pathetic weak user. A Logia who can't control her own power properly. For a normal Logia, this would've done nothing. For you, however, it's a killing blow".

Cyan's mouth dripped with blood as her eyes teared.

"Now sleep, child. Sleep like a corpse". Her knees gave way, causing the blade to exit her body. She kept fighting the urge to close her eyes. The urge to sleep. "You still try?" He said before raising his weapon "How about I help you rest".

He aimed for her neck.

Before he could separate her head from her body, the earth rumbled, causing him to stumble. Behind them, a pillar tentacle smashed through the wall. "Tower" The World growled before walking over to view the scene. All he could see is Alubarna being destroyed by Tower's Pillar Octopus. On said octopus was Tower. The World huffed before before summoning another tower predict around Tower, who panicked.

Cyan's vision blurred before she felt a strong pulse of will fill her veins. She slowly got up and raised her fist.

The World smashed the cards against Tower, who fell. The Octopus collapsed with him. "That's what he gets for messing up my plans".

"Hey, Brat" A voice emerged from Cyan's mouth before something came her mind.

The World turned and felt the atmosphere change "What the hell, where did this power come from?".

"Okay, Mr. Fate Fuck, predict this" Cyan said before yelling "GALE HEX". She began to spin herself, creating a tornado around her. "Now fly". She stops, facing towards The World. It shot towards him.

The World panicked and almost tried something "Tarot Predict: Dea-". Before the attack could finish, he caught in the wind and tossed around. Several pieces of debris joined in and began to strike him. The Tornado broke out of the castle and began to hover over the courtyard. One of the debris struck his mask, shattering it. Finally, it ceased and The World fell to the earth. Even if he was still conscience after that, the fall would've knocked him out.

He lands right in front of Vivi and Crocodile.

"I'm guessing this is the target" Crocodile said as Vivi gasped. Before her was one of her advisors. The Man who caused such tragedy and did so much damage to her castle was someone she trusted.

"I'm guessing you know him?" Brook said as he joined her.

"The World is Carold" Vivi said with a tone of betrayal.

Victory: Alabasta

Chapter Text

25 years ago, Monkey D. Luffy founded the The Pirate King Union. He along with 10 other pirate captains claimed the 11 shards of the One Piece, leaving only one unclaimed. They challenged the world to claim it to join their ranks. Many tried and many failed, but one challenger is determined to claim it. Her name is Monkey D. Cyan. With a bounty of 30 million on her head, she along with her 4 crewmates will claim that last Shard.

The Hermit stands outside the city, watching everything unfold. "Well well well, it seems my gut instinct is correct". He put on a blue vest as he made his way to Nanohana. Behind him was his clothing and tools he used as The Hermit. His new mission was clear: Get Abroad that Ship.

Back with our heroes, the mood was too somber for a celebration. Actually, it was more like the dining room was now ruined along with the revelation of Carold's secret, the destruction of multiple parts of the castle, the many injuries and bodies plus prisoners, and the return of Samual.

Any sort of celebration was with the Diamonds and Vivi, mainly those who're conscience. After tending to the passed out Cyan and Riley, Rex passed out next his captain. Joel and Blane talked about the sword, mainly what happened. Finally, Vivi and Samual talked about where he was.

He'd planned on helping Dawn by trying to convince his mother, but she was more interested in his well being. Mainly, his gray body. "According to High Priestess, his power is the Tarot-Tarot Fruit, which allows him to summon tarot cards and effect people. The one that caused this is the Reverse Death Prediction. It can revive the dead by healing the injuries that it causes. The only caveats are he can't revive those who are barely there or died of old age and those he does revive have this" He gestures at the gray stuff.

Vivi nods "So, how powerful was he?".

He shrugged "We'll have to ask Cyan cause I never saw him in battle".

"Judging by what you said," Vivi stated "He seems like someone who relied on their fruit for strength. While the Devil Fruit itself seems powerful, people who don't pair their power with their strength are destined to fall. In his case, quite literally".

Vivi laughed but it soon turned in a quiet sob "Mom, are you okay?".

"I'm sorry, but" Vivi said before hugging him "I'm so happy you're home, my Little Prince". Samual was stunned for a second before hugging back.

"It's great to be home again" He said into her shoulder, crying.

"Oi, watch it" Tyche swore before screeching at the sight of Brook's weapon.

"Just hurry up. The King of the Pirates wants to meet you. Alive" Brook said in a cold and serious tone.

"Trebek Tyche. Age: 44. Devil Fruit: Lucky-Lucky Fruit" Crocodile said as he wrote down the arrest papers "Alliance. Uh, what was your group called again?".

"THE MAJOR ARCANA" Judgement yelled from across the building.

"Shut it, you worthless worm. I outta turn you into a pile of dust for this mess" Crocodile swore before writing down the name of the group. "Now then, are you gonna confess anything before we board you?".

Tyche gulped before shaking his head. A group of pirates escorted him away. Leaving Brook and Crocodile waiting for their next prisoner.

"Y'know, I never saw Baroque Works in it's prime" Brook said "How was it?".

Crocodile shrugged "About as cruel as these punks, only they never got close enough to their goal like I did".

Brook nods before another man is sat in front of them.

"I already know the procedure" The man smiled "I am-".

"Ted Manson. Also known as The Monster of St. Poplar" Brook said in a much colder voice "We know very much about you. Fifteen people dead before you where caught by the Marines. According to record, you died on the way to Impel Down for your sentencing. How did a scum of the earth freak like you come back?".

Ted laughed "That is something we keep under wraps. Afterall, the boss's fruit is powerful". He continued to laugh, even after they decided to escort him into his cell. The next person was a grey haired young lady.

"Name?" Crocodile said as he readied his pen.

"My name is Cloud Dawn. And I am willing to spill the beans on The World".

Night turned day, the rubble of the battle was still there. Many reporters came to the site to report on the story.

That story being the following:

"The Massacre of Marbh Island Solved by Alabasta Officials! Yesterday, the group responsible for the ruthless massacre had been defeated on the soils of the country. The group, known as the Major Arcana, was led by former Advisor of History Carold Soot. Under the name The World, he and several other people ranging from criminals to scientists attacked the country with brute force. Thankfully, the strength of both Alabasta's own Nefertari Vivi and the Pirate King's Assault Fleet defeated the foul villains before the country could fall into his hands".

They didn't mention the former Baroque Works agents or the Diamond Pirates.

"Aw, why do we have to leave already" Cyan and Rex whined as they sat on their ship.

"Cyan, while I would love for you to stay here for a bit, we need to remain neutral in the world's affairs. We especially don't want someone worth 100 Million Berries" Vivi said with a sly smile.

"Aw, but why can't we st- wait. 100 Million?" Cyan asked.

Vivi handed Cyan a bounty poster "Surprise. It seems the Marine's noticed you". Cyan stared in shock and awe before yelling in joy.

"YES, MY BOUNTY GOT RAISED".

"Congratulations, Cyan" Riley said "This calls for a victory drink".

"No way, Riley" Rex snapped "Still, this is a great occasion".

"She's not the only one" Samual said as he ran up to Rex "Look who else got one".

Rex saw, with his own eyes, a bounty with his own name. "'Horned Beast' Rex. Bounty: 50 Million Berries". Above the name was Rex, walking towards the camera with Aegis and Grasscutter in his hands.

"H-HOLY SHIT" Rex yelled "HOW DID THEY GET THIS PICTURE? WHY DID I GET THIS HIGH OF A BOUNTY. FUCK IT, I GOT BOUNTY". He and Samual celebrated on the ship.

Blane walked up to Vivi "So, is there anymore bounties?".

"I'm afraid that's all" Vivi said with a sheepish smile. Blane huffed in frustration. "However, I am going to give you something as thanks for defends the monument of the guard". From behind her, she out a blade and it's sheath. It looks ancient and sandy, with a very Alabasta style to it. The blade itself resembled a Khopesh. "This is #31, also known as Sekhmet. She's been collecting dust in the royal armory and I'd think she'd like a new home".

"HOLY SHIT" Blane said as he grabbed the blade's handle "This is amazing. Thanks, Vivi".

"Did we get anything?" Riley and Joel said with a hint of joy.

"I've ordered the guards leave scraps and gunpowder in the hull for Joel and left you a surprise in the fridge for you, Riley" Vivi said with a smirk. Riley's eyes widened before rushing into the kitchen.

"HOLY CRAP, THERE'S BEER" She yelled from the room.

"RILEY, NO" Rex yelled before running into the kitchen.

"Well, time for you guys to continue on your journey" Vivi said "I hope everything goes well for you five".

"OI REX" Samual yelled towards the kitchen "SAFE TRAVELS, YA HEAR?".

A sound of plates crashing was heard before Rex yelled "ALRIGHT".

With their goodbyes said, The Grazer set sail for the next island. As Rex fought Riley over the fridge, Cyan watched as the castle of Alabasta grew smaller and smaller. Despite only being there for a few days, Cyan was saddened to leave. She then felt her bomb necklace move a bit from the waves, reminding her of what awaited her across the Grand Line.

After an hour of fighting, Rex walked out of the kitchen with a lump on his forehead. As he walked across the deck, a smell soon caught his nose.

One that he knew from the castle. "Guys" Rex said, catching most of their attentions "I think someone else is on board".

"Well well, it seems my cover is blown" A familiar voice said before jumping from the Crow's Nest and onto the Deck. "A proper introduction is in order" The Young man said, his tree green eyes now filled with determination "My name is Shock. We might have been on the wrong foot earlier but trust me, I ain't seeking reven-OH CRAP". The young man yelled before dodging a punch from Cyan.

"Why are you here?" She yelled in anger. The others also readied themselves for a fight.

"Like I was going to say, I want to join you on your little trip or whatever" Shock said, his sharpish teeth shined in the sun.

"And why should we let you?" Blane snapped "You shot most of us and stabbed our captain. She almost died".

"Key word, almost" He said "Despite having the chance to get her somewhere more fatal, I chose somewhere that was survivable. As for the shooting, it again was survivable. I heard about your potential after that dumbass Tyler spouted off your tricks. Even after seeing them first hand, I wasn't convinced until I saw you all take on the Arcana".

Cyan stared at him before asking "What's your end game?".

He shrugged "I'm hoping to stop somewhere at the New World and just leave. Been out on sea long enough to get homesick". Despite the answer, Cyan felt there was more to his story.

"Alright, fine" Cyan said "You're on the crew".

"WHAT!!!!!!!!!" The others yelled before walked up to the horned teen.

"You better not betray my trust" She said with a cold voice. He smiles.

"Yes, Captain".

After a few hours, Shock noticed where they were going. Actually, where they weren't going.

"Say, Captain" He asked Cyan "Just where are we going?".

Cyan thought for a moment before hitting her head "I forget to buy an eternal pose".

"Wait, you don't have a log pose?" Shock asked "How have y'all navigated from island to island?".

"We've used Eternal poses, they're easier than Log Poses".

"Easier? Wait, y'all don't have a navigator?". She shakes her head, making him stunned "Geez, y'all really needed me" He said as he pulled a log pose from his pocket "I just so happen to know how to navigate".

Cyan looked at him in surprise "Huh, I guess we did. Where are we going?".

He looked at the compass and before saying "While we're away from the location, it seems to point upwards northeast".

"We're going to a sky island".

Chapter Text

It is said whoever claims the mythical One Piece becomes the King of the Pirates. One young man named Monkey D. Luffy has earned such a title and split it among ten others. One, however, still remains unclaimed. This has extended the great pirate era for many years. Many have tried and just as many have failed to claim the treasure for themselves. In a world where many cogs turn, it's anyone's game.

"A SKY ISLAND!?!?!?!?!?!?" Rex and Joel yelled in surprise.

"Indeed" Shock said "While rare, Sky Islands do indeed exist. In fact, one of the Pirate Kings is from a sky island. While it may seem impossible, it is the truth-".

"Oh, we know" Cyan said bluntly.

"Oh, you know? Good" Shock said "Anyways, the way to find a Sky Island depends on the type of is-WAIT, YOU KNOW?!?!".

The Five nod before Blane spoke up "You do know who we're related to, right?".

He shakes his head in surprise. Cyan then explained "My full name is Monkey D. Cyan. They're full names are Tony Tony Rex, Vinsmoke Riley, Roronoa Blane, and Joel. I don't think Usopp has a last name".

"W-wait, you mean you're really-" Shock stumbled as his fellow crewmates morphed into their parent before his eyes "YOU ARE THEIR KIDS".

"Took you long enough" Blane mumbled.

'This is absurd. These five could have the Grand Line around their fingers but yet they never said their last names. Their bounties could be higher, hell the Arcana would've bowed. Why didn't they say anything?' Shock thought before he remembered something 'Then again, me saying that would be hypocritical'.

He cleared his throat before continuing "Judging by this, I'm guessing you've been to a Sky Island?".

"Nope" Rex said "We've only heard of them".

"Sky Islands rarely form around Laugh Tale, and those that do are a bare at best" Riley added.

"Great, y'all've been to The End" Shock shook his head "Okay, let's just finish this before you say that you've seen The One Piece Fragment yourself. While most Sky Islands have an entrance from the Blue Sea, it's not a guarantee. So be prepared if we have to take a knock-up stream".

The Others nodded before they adjusted their position to head towards the Sky Islands location.

In a town on an island, a man sits with a flask of whiskey. The Man wore a cape with the number one stitched on. He also had a lion mask covering his face. In front of him was another man, one in a grey trench coat and fedora. His face was obscured by a black snood and white goggles.

"This is what you want, correct?" The Grey Man said, pushing a box towards Number 1.

"Indeed" Number 1 said after checked "You are quite the go-getter, Reptile. Here is your reward" He slid a bag full of gems towards Reptile.

"Nonsense" Reptile said monotonously "My only payment is your victory against The Target".

"Of course" Number 1 laughed. Reptile got up and, dragging a pickaxe that cause the floor to tear.

"Remember what happens if the payment isn't made" Reptile said before exiting.

As Reptile left, Number 1 pulled a pair of bounty posters from his pocket. He smiles.

On an Island known as Porchland.

"MOM, MOM" A young boy named Samson yelled as he ran over to his mother with a pair of papers "It's those two people who helped us with that Eye Man".

"Oh my" The Mother, Delila, said "It seems our saviors are making a name for themselves".

In the Kazunommer Archipelago.

Elder Kyle hung a poster on the wall of a shack "This here is the young lady who saved us from The Rave. With that, we name the first settlement of Nidos Cyan Town". Cheers ring out as the abandoned pirates celebrated.

In such a short time, they expanded from one island to two.

On Lovushka.

"Frurararararara" Jyaha laughed as he sat on a ruined throne "Hey boys, those kids who helped us with our Reaper Problem just got a larger bounty".

His crew were passed out after working on rebuilding a castle.

Loguetown

"THAT BITCH" Yoko yelled as she slammed her fist against the table "She got away and we get nothing".

"You did get a promotion, Rear Admiral Yoko" Carol said smugly behind her jail bars.

"Shut it, Masterson. Once we find your clubmates, you're all going to Impel Down" Yoko snapped. Carol smiled as she knew who has her friends and who was going to save her.

Whiskey Peak

"Dang, those brats are powerful" Clemont laughed "I should've joined them".

"Hiya" His sister yelled before punching him in the gut "Don't get envious, Big Bro".

"N-noted".

Aboard the Rex

A Familiar Man reads the headline over and over again.

"Are you sure this is Cyan's doing?" The Man asked Crocodile.

"Indeed, Captain. She was true hero of that siege. It's a shame the media painted us as the heroes".

"Don't" The Man says "We never let Alabasta call us heroes, I'm sure she wouldn't like it either".

Cyan rested on the Grazer's head, wondering why she is suddenly craving Potatoes.

Chapter Text

It is said whoever claims the mythical One Piece becomes the King of the Pirates. One young man named Monkey D. Luffy has earned such a title and split it among ten others. One, however, still remains unclaimed. This has extended the great pirate era for many years. Many have tried and just as many have failed to claim the treasure for themselves. In a world where many cogs turn, it's anyone's game.

As they sailed the seas, the captain and newly appointed navigator were having a conversation most intellectual.

"Are we there yet?"

"No"

"Are we there yet?"

"No"

"Are we there yet?"

"No"

"Are we there yet?"

"What part of Sky Island didn't you hear?" Shock snapped "Besides, we need to find an island. We're low on both food, utilities, and overall enthusiasm".

"Fine" Cyan huffed "Where is the closest island?".

Shock thought about it before answering "I believe Mock Town is next. Supposedly hiding the mysterious City of Gold under it's waves, it's now most well known for it being a hub for piracy".

"A hub?" Joel gulped, over hearing the conversation.

"It's not uncommon for Island in the Grand Line to have piracy be its economic heart. They let them stay and the pirates spend their money on the local shops and services. Honestly, especially in this era, it's one of the most stable economic forms".

"So we won't get attacked?" Cyan asked.

"Not unless we provoke or someone is stupid enough to start a fight in a town full of criminals" Shock answered.

"Oh" Cyan said in disappointment.

After an hour of sailing, Blane spotted something in the distance. "Oi, I see an island". They ran up to the front of the ship and waited in baited breath.

"Alright everyone, behold. Pirate's Paradise" Shock announced. As the island got closer, they became excited to see what this Mock Town was about.

There hopes and dream soon deflated when they finally saw the island.

It was a hazy, overgrown, and sad series of buildings and docks. Few ships were docked and those that are seemed have been there for years.

"This town looks like shit" Cyan bluntly says.

"CYAN" Rex yells "This place has obviously seen better times. You shouldn't judge a place by how it looks. For all we know, it's still the sa-".

"Shut it, Deer" Shock said "I want to get to the bottom of this. Why the hell is this place still advertised as a Pirate Economy?".

"DEER?!?!" Rex snapped but he was interrupted Blain.

"I mainly want to know where we find this Sky Island's Entrance".

"Yeah, that too" Shock added.

They ported and where met with nothing. No fanfare for a pirate ship docking or anger for that matter. Not even a hello.

It felt abandoned.

"Geez, this place has seen better days" Joel stated "I think some of us should stay behind".

"I'll stay" Blane said "Besides, we still need to talk about the weird experience with your sword". Joel nods. The others left the ship. "Now then, tell me what happened again?".

Cyan, Rex, Riley, and Shock walked through the town. Despite it's decrepit appearance, people still lived on the island. Live was actually sugar coating it, it was more like stranded. Those who actually lived where the shop keepers. Most of the shops had been converted into makeshift apartments with the few still remaining businesses being bars.

But they made up the minority. The Majority are those who seemed stranded. They didn't look homeless, more like dropped off and forgotten.

Some still wearing extravagant pirate clothing and others in rags.

"We should head into a bar and ask someone" Shock said. They did and where met with an equally as dismal sight. It was packedish with the same people from the outside cluttering the tables. The only person who wasn't in a state of disarray was the bar keep.

He stood at the bar, cleaning a glass. Cyan approached him "Hey, Mr. Keep, why is this town crappy".

"CYAN" Rex and Riley yelled. But the keep laughed.

"Don't try to defend this place, it's a piece of shit. Always has been, just more so now than ever" The Keep said "Also, my name is Terry".

"Alright then, Terry, what happened here and why is this place still called a Pirate Economy" Shock interrogated.

Terry chuckled "Because it is, a real shitty one. About 15 years ago, pirates began to slowly stop coming. Some blame the recent patrols from both the Pirate King Allince and the Navy, but I blame Geronimo".

"Geronimo?" Shock asked.

"Geronimo Sky Casino. It opened around a year before our town began to fall apart. It was a killing blow for the local casinos but who knew it would cause this much trouble".

"And these weirdos?" Cyan asked, causing Rex and Riley to slap her.

"They just appeared. Everyday, one just appears and seems disheveled. I honestly have no clue".

"I do" Someone said.

"Oh great, him" Terry said as a man in a worn pirate coat stood up.

"That there casino is a fraud. It's a honeypot for pirates where they're snatched away".

Riley raised an eyebrow "A Navy Trap?".

"If it was, why am I still here?" The Man said.

"Because you made it up?" Terry said bluntly.

"It's something much worse" The Man said "It's a place where those who keep their guard down, mainly pirates, are taken away and sold".

"Sold" Rex repeated before his eyes widened "Wait, you don't mean?".

"Aye" The Man said "Tis be a Slavery".

The four gasped as the other people began to join in.

"Calm down you all" Terry said "If it was one, why didn't they keep you?".

"There be one reason: They don't keep the captains".

"Wait, you mean-" Cyan was cut off.

"My name was 'Dry Lighting' Bolthunder. With a bounty of 30 million, me and my crew where feared across the West Blue".

"Yeah yeah, then you made it here and your crew abandoned you" Terry dismissed.

"Abandoned?" Rex said.

"I wasn't abandoned. My crew was taken from me and I was left here to rot" Bolthunder swore.

"Listen, from what I heard from the last time your crew was here, you were quite abusive to them" Terry said "Same goes for the lot of you".

"Abusive I may have been, my crew wouldn't have left me here" Bolthunder yelled. Soon, a small riot began.

"You four should go" Terry said "When they're like this, bullets fly".

"But what about the sky island?" Shock asked.

"There's a skyway near this island. It should lead directly to Skypiea, the closest Sky Island to this place" As he finished, a bullet whizzed past his face "Now leave, I'll handle 'em". They nodded and ran out, leaving Terry to deal with the mob.

"Now what" Rex said as they ran back to the ship.

"Whatcha mean what?" Cyan said.

"Where do we go now?".

Cyan point to the sky "We go to Skypiea".

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT" Joel yelled as the other relayed their story to him and Blane "A Slavery? That's Illegal in every blue?".

"Exactly, Blue" Blane said "The White Sea and The White White Sea don't have any rules, mainly due to the fact most are independent from the Two Powers".

"That and the White Sea is just empty clouds" Shock said "Still, even if we believe the story, we still need to go to reset the log pose".

"Agreed" Riley said "Not to mention that Terry guy seemed to not believe that story".

"It's not just a story" Rex said "It's more like a coping mechanism. Remember he said that where abusive".

"Still" Blane said "We can't just dismiss them".

"Yeah, it's eerie how they all agreed on it" Rex nods.

"Don't care" Cyan said before blowing a Sailing Gale "We're going to Skypiea".

"WHAT" Joel yelled "But what about the Casino?".

"We just avoid it" Cyan said bluntly.

"Oh yeah" Joel said "Still, how are we sure it won't suck us in".

Cyan shook her head "Just relax, Joel, we'll be fine".

From a distance, a ship sailed towards them.

"CARAKAH! Captain, we got viiiiisuuuuaaaaallll~" A man with a two mask yelled.

The Man, the one with the box, smiles. "Follow them and make sure they don't leave our sights".

"CARAKAH! Righty-o. Number Three, foooooooooollow that ship".

"Of course-atl" Ship began to tail the Grazer.

The Grazer soon found itself to an odd site. From the sky, a cloud descended to the sea like a ramp. At the bottom was an arch with a sigh. "Entrance to Skypiea".

"Okay, guys, we're here" Cyan said as they pulled up to the arch entrance. There was a sign and attached was a bell. Cyan ordered Joel to shoot the bell. He did.

"Why did you two do that?" Blane yelled.

"I saw a bell and I wanted to ring it" Cyan said plainly.

"Why the hel-" Blane stopped when the ship shook a bit.

"Guys, look" Rex said as a galleon began to get closer. On the front was rope that was attached to an anchor. That anchor was holding on the Grazer's Railing.

"'Diamond' Cyan" A voice yelled. A man stepped forward from the ship. He wore a cape with a one on it and his face was familiar-ish. "You're bounty and head are mine. Now bear witness to the most powerful devil fruit in history". He pulled the fruit out of the box and took a bite from it. He immediately scrunched his face and swallowed the bite before he could spit it out. "Disgusting" He grumbled before clearing his throat "Now, behold the powerful-".

Before he could finish, something grabbed the Grazer from under the waves before it carried the ship up the ramp. The sheer speed and force caused the galleon the split in two.

"GAH" Number One yelled as his grew grabbed him before he could into the ocean.

"What was that about?" Cyan said to Rex.

"No clue" He answered bluntly.

The ship moved passed the clouds and they glimpsed at the White Sea before more clouds obscured their vision.

"Hello, Skypiea".

To Be Continued.....

Chapter Text

It is said whoever claims the mythical One Piece becomes the King of the Pirates. One young man named Monkey D. Luffy has earned such a title and split it among ten others. One, however, still remains unclaimed. This has extended the great pirate era for many years. Many have tried and just as many have failed to claim the treasure for themselves. In a world where many cogs turn, it's anyone's game.

"Hello Skypiea".

Cyan's voice echoed from a speaker. A man with a dark beard smiled. "Boys, we have another catch. And this time, everyones a keeper".

From the clouds, The Grazer erupted out. The Crew held on for dear lives as the ship stabilize.

"WOAH" Cyan yelled with a smile "Here we are".

As the fluffy waves settled, the crew saw a sight they'd never forget. In the clouds was large but humble city sitting upon a giant chunk of earth. Trees that seem to stretch to the hemisphere contained a series of tree houses and building. On the floor, built between roots and large flora was a massive system of trails. Out of all the things, three stood out: A Golden Bell that sat prominently on the pier, a massive theme park with Usopp's face at the gate, and giant building with the words "Geronimo Casino" standing upon the building's roof.

"So this is Skypiea" Shock said as he leaned against a railing "Truly, this must be heaven".

"We should hide our Jolly Roger so we won't get attacked" Rex suggested.

"Relax" Shock said "Most Sky Islands are considered neutral grounds. Any Pirate dumb enough to attack one would face both great powers".

"So we can dock?" Joel asked.

"As long as we have no plans on attacking, I'm sure they wouldn't mind. Or care for that matter".

They got close to one of the docks before lowering the anchor. It took, like, most of the rope before it hit hard enough Earth Clouds but they did. "Alright, what are we going to do while the log stabilizes" Shock asks.

"I wanna go to that Theme Park" Cyan said, with Rex joining her.

"I don't know" Joel said "It's awfully close to that casino we've been warned about".

"I'm just more worried about those two spending all the money we have left" Blane mumbled out loud.

Shock nods "We should first just find somewhere to eat and/or just get supplies. Afterall, we left Mock Town without anything".

"Other than tetanus" Riley said blankly.

They jumped onto the island and where met with polar opposite reaction than Mock Town.

"Visitors, finally"

"A small band of pirates are here to feast"

"Welcome, welcome"

A group of people, mostly business owners, gathered around the pirates. It was almost suffocating.

"Um, hi, we're here to buy supplies" Riley stammered from surprise.

This caused the group to more rowdy. "Way to go, Triclops" Blane growled.

"I don't like this kind of attention, Sea Urchin" Riley growled back.

Still, the crowd seemed to grow more restless.

"THAT'S ENOUGH" A Voice sliced through the crowd. The Group parted like a mythical ocean to reveal an angel of a woman. She seemed be in her mid 40s but time seemed spare her. Her long blonde hair flowed with the breeze and fair pale skin seem to melt with the clouds. On her head was a pair of antenna made of the same locks stood with pride. "These people are visitors, we shouldn't treat them like this".

With that, the crowd dispersed.

"Thanks, Blonde Angel Lady" Cyan said with a light blush.

"It's no problem" The Woman said "My name is Conis, by the way".

"Thanks, Conny" Cyan said, causing her comrades to bonk her on the head.

Conis chuckled a bit "I can see that you're your father's kid".

"Wait, you know me?" Cyan said in shock.

"Of course, I know all of you. Er, most of you" She said, glancing at Shock "Your parents have been going on and on about your victory over the Major Arcana. Especially yours, Joel".

"Really" Joel said.

"Yeah" Conis said before turning "Come to shop, I'll explain more". They followed her, not knowing they're being watched by two parties.

From within the trees, a young woman watches them with a cloud in her hand. "So you took out those weirdos" She said as she crushed the cloud in her hand "Found some more confidants".

Meanwhile, an employee from the casino was talking to his snail "Are sure, this kid took down the Arcana".

"I don't care, bring me that crew or I'll sell you and your family".

The employee gulped before giving him an affirmative.

"This pumpkin stew is delicious" Cyan said as slurped another bowl. The others have been enjoying similar foods as well as Sky Fauna meals.

"So this stuff isn't from here" Rex asked a whitish blue fox.

"Su~" The Fox said.

"Oh, I've seen you've met Su" Conis said as she brough another platter of food to Cyan.

"She's very intelligent for a fox" Rex said, which got a bap from Su.

"Indeed" Conis said "Y'know, when your father first came here, he also talked to Su".

"Really" Rex said.

"Yeah, sure she was only a baby but Cloud Foxes can live for 50 years".

"Really, how interesting" Rex said.

"Anyways, what happened to this place?" Blane said.

"Oh," Conis said in surprise "Well, this place has been suffering from a lack of tourism. Mainly the mainland and Wagomuland".

"Wagomuland? You mean-" Cyan was cut off.

"Yes, sadly, it has been shut down. It's quite sad as it was a crown jewel of our humble city".

"What caused it to close down?" Riley asked.

"That would be the Casino" Conis said with a cup full of distaste "It opened 16 years ago and since then, most visitors go there instead of here. I don't blame them though. I visited it when it first opened. It's quite a magnificent building. I remember the pachinko floor the most. The President of the room was such a weirdo".

"President? Pachinko Floor? What kind of casino has that stuff".

"The kind that steals people" A voice said from the building's entrance. From the entrance was an intimidating figure wearing a mix of Alabasta Guard Armor and Wano Samurai Armor. In her hand was a bo staff made of gold. "That place is a beacon of evil".

"Aisa, please stop spreading those rumors" Conis said as the woman removed her helmet. It was a woman with short black hair "Also, did you cut your hair again?".

"I'm sorry, Conis, but as a Gum-Gum Warrior of Shandora, I must defeat any evil on the shores of our homeland" Aisa said with a determined voice.

"Aisa" Conis sighed as the girl sat down with the crew.

"Hold up, we've heard this story before" Shock said "Back in Mock Town, an entire tavern began to repeat the same thing".

"Oh, so the rejects are alive" Aisa said "Rumor has it they kidnap those who are able bodied or beautiful before dumping them in Jaya".

"Jaya, that's the home island of Mock Town".

"Indeed, it's a crime that seems almost flawless".

"Almost?" Blaine asked.

"Because I, Gum-Gum Warrior Aisa, will expose them and tear them down!!!!".

Her yelling was both inspiring and a bit embarrassing.

"Please, Aisa, it's rude to accuse others of something" Conis said a bit more sternly "My apologize, she used to work at Wagomuland before it got shut down. She's been salty about it since".

"It wasn't because of Wagomuland. Why don't you believe me?" Aisa yelled. Aisa ran out of the building, leaving behind her helmet.

"I'll follow her" Cyan said, grabbing the helmet and running out.

Chapter Text

It is said whoever claims the mythical One Piece becomes the King of the Pirates. One young man named Monkey D. Luffy has earned such a title and split it among ten others. One, however, still remains unclaimed. This has extended the great pirate era for many years. Many have tried and just as many have failed to claim the treasure for themselves. In a world where many cogs turn, it's anyone's game.

"I'll follow her" Cyan said, grabbing the helmet and running out.

Cyan bolted out and saw the Warrior run up a flight of stairs that have been carved into the trees. She, naturally, followed her.

"Hey, Ice Lady" Cyan yelled "You left your helmet".

"Leave me alone" Aisa yelled as she jumped from the stairs. Cyan gasped as, even though though she's not the brightest, a fall from this height is fatal. She peered down, praying that she fell somewhere that masked any viscera. Instead, she saw Aisa staring right at her.

"WHAT THE-" Cyan yelled as Aisa rose up, sitting crisscross on a cloud, and grabbed her helmet back.

"Go away, I know what I'm talking about" Aisa growled.

"I didn't even say anything" Cyan said.

"I know your thinking it too, huh. Aisa's just a little girl with a big imagination" Aisa smashed her fist "But what I saw was real".

'Kid?' Cyan thought as she saw this 30 something year old woman get angry "Look, we didn't even say anything that denied your story. Heck, those hobos from Mock Town told a similar tale. Please, what is going on here?".

"Disappearances?" Joel said "Why the hell didn't you say that when Aisa was here?!?!".

Conis sighed "Look, while I would love nothing more than that place to fall into the blue sea, it's rude to accuse people of such a serious crime".

"Then what happened to those pirates?" Riley asked.

"According to God, they live in the Casino".

"Living in a casino? God? What?" Rex said.

"If memory serves me right, in most Sky Cultures, the title of God is treated the same as President or King" Shock said.

"Indeed" Conis nods "Our current God is someone you've probably met. Anyways, God apparently investigated around the time our economy took a big hit. He said there is a floor designated for apartments and the like. He didn't go into much detail but seemed very quiet about the owner".

Blane slammed his fist on the table "And who is this guy?".

"I don't know. I only his initials are MDK" Conis looked saddened.

"How do you know so much about this place despite only there once?" Joel asked. Conis began sweat before trying to change the conversation. However, despite this, she finally admitted why she knows that much".

"I may or may not haveagamblingproblem...." Conis said in shame.

"The place is owned by Grand President MDK" Aisa said as she drew a small stick figure on a chalkboard "While most people don't know his full name, I do. His full name is Marfeld D. Kelvin. To think someone that awful could ruin the Will of D. with his existence. Anyhow, this guy has several people working under him. The most powerful are the Presidents, the heads of the floors. There are six to be exact. I haven't been able to able to obtain their names but I've gathered enough info to know that they are too powerful to take on by myself".

"So you want us to help?" Cyan asked.

"Indeed, your talents at defeating the Major Arcana are enough evidence to defeat the fucks".

"Wait did you-" Cyan was interrupted.

"Your Dad loves to brag about your ventures to Conis. I just so happen to live there and could overhear".

'Live there' Cyan thought "What is your relationship with Conis?".

"She's my mom" Cyan gasped before Aisa clarified "She's my adopted mom. She and her husband Wyper adopted me when my caretaker Laki left to pursue a career in Fishman Kingdom. My real mom died when Skypiea fell and Laki took me in. When she left, Conis and Wyper then took me in and raised me as their own child. When I was 11, I took a part time job at Wagomuland as thank to Laki and, when they took me in, my parents. When Wagomuland closed down, I knew it had something to do with that casino".

Aisa then glared as she threw photos in front of Cyan "Then I saw this". It was pictures of several bouncers guarding a chain gang of people, mainly young men and women. "I've been snooping around the place and saw this happen. They seem to not care about who sees".

Cyan gritted her teeth "So you have evidence, why don't you show it to Conis?".

"Because I want to take him down. Kelvin made an enemy when he closed Wagomuland, and now he faces the wrath of Shandora" Aisa stood and grabbed her staff "Tonight's a slow night, when the regulars are too busy to gamble. We strike and destroy that casino". Cyan nods.

"So she knew about the disappearances?" Cyan growled.

"Indeed" Shock said. They had reconvened on the Grazer. "They seem to trust this God guy absolutely. She also said it's someone we know".

"God probably doesn't care" Aisa said "He most likely said that because he is busy".

"Disgusting" Rex said through clenched teeth "People are in danger and he won't close the place down".

Aisa sighed "It's fine. Even if he did tell, it'd be hard for all the Prince Ships to arrive and attack".

"Prince Ships?" Shock said, confused.

"They are the Fleet ships" Cyan said "Each one of the ship are powerful enough to go through an island. They're slow, however, and very heavy".

"Huh, anything else I should know about the Pirate Kings" Shock mumbled.

Rex thought before answering "Apparently the restrooms on the Laugh Tale Base are constantly broken".

Shock dead panned before walking away mumbling about "Spoiled Kids" and "Sewer Born Diseases".

"Anyways, it's still more easier for us to face them rather then the Kings" Aisa said.

"And how do we do that?" Joel asked.

"Quite simple" Aisa said before smiling "Ever heard of a 'Casino Royale'".

Conis groaned in frustration as she got put on hold "C'mon, where's God when you need him?".

Wyper was watching the window, his intimidating form glaring at the casino "I knew that place bad news".

"Then why did you let go in there?" Conis asked.

Wyper exhaled "I don't want to be that kind of husband. Besides, this is the Pirate King's kid. Surely she's smart enough not to cause an incident on a sky island".

Chapter Text

It is said whoever claims the mythical One Piece becomes the King of the Pirates. One young man named Monkey D. Luffy has earned such a title and split it among ten others. One, however, still remains unclaimed. This has extended the great pirate era for many years. Many have tried and just as many have failed to claim the treasure for themselves. In a world where many cogs turn, it's anyone's game.

The sounds of talking and music fill the golden hall. On the walls hang extravagant lamps and beautiful paintings. On pillars holding up the room, speaker snails come to life. "Welcome to Geronimo Casino" They shout "Fortune smiles upon you all and you must find it yourself. All are welcome and all are challenged to test their wallet to win it all".

In the center of the room, a giant desk with machines dispense tickets and chips for the ravenous crowds. In the back, a wall of elevators ferry people to the other floors. Those less fortunate take stairs that seem to take them to heaven itself. The smell of metal chips and peoples breathe fill Cyan's nose, making her scrunch her nose in disgust.

"So, where do we go" Blane asked Aisa. He was wearing a mint green tuxedo and black dress pants. She was wearing a beige trench coat-dress hybrid, black stockings, and a flat cap with a metal kabuto crest.

"Our first goal is to go and find the Presidents. This floor is home to Entrance President, my target. You'll need to face the Pachinko President".

"I face the Black Jack President" Joel mumbled. He wore a metallic zoot suit with his hair slicked back.

"And I face the Slots President" Rex added. He also wore a tux with a fedora that had his horns poking through.

"I'm going after that Laser Tag President" Shock chuckled, adjusting his pistol. He wore a more casual suit that was like that of a newsboy.

"Guess that leaves me with hide and seek president" Riley growled as she popped her neck. She wore a short white dress with sky blue heels. Her blonde hair was put in a ponytail.

Then there's Cyan, who refused to changed out of her clothing for something fancy, so she went wore a red t-shirt with the word Dress on it. "Who do I get to beat up?".

Aisa smirks "The Big Boss, Kelvin".

"And how do we smoke them out?" Rex asked, to which Aisa's smirk turned into a full blown grin.

"Hell yeah, boy" A Skypeian man laughed as he carried a basket of pachinko balls "Time to win". As he walked towards to one of pachinko machines, a sword sliced through the basket and some of the balls "GAH".

"Sorry about that" Blane said "But we have a job".

Cards flew through the air as Joel waved his sword around "Come on out, Mr. President, I need a word or two".

A slot machine is impaled as Rex yelled "Get your ass out here".

"Halt, intrud-" A guard yelled before a bullet hit his gut.

"Don't worry, these things are designed to cause pain. And a lot have a president's name on them" Shock laughed.

'Seriously, who puts a Hide and Seek arena in a Casino' Riley thought, smashing through a wall "Alright, Mr. President, time to fight".

Aisa jumped off a cloud and kicked a guard with the back of her heel.

"This should cause enough chaos".

"I say, what is that racket?" A man in a very flashy pirate outfit said to a guard. He was addressing the noise from outside the VIP Door.

"No clue, but the guards outside should know soon enou-" The guard answered before another guard was punched through the door.

As the guard struck the pair, Cyan walked through and yelled "KELVIIIIIIIIIIN, SHOW YOURSELF".

"Chachachachachachaching" The Grand President laughed as he got up. He raised his wrist to his mouth "Alright boy, answer their cries".

Blane groaned in annoyance as he slashed open another pachinko machine, causing balls and tokens to spill out "Geez, are they even awake?".

"We very much are, Sadiq" A man said, causing Blane to turn "Welcome, Tifl, to Pachinko Hall". The man wore a mix of a tuxedo and a dishdasha. Around his neck is a necklace made of pachinko balls. On his waist was a pair of pearl khopeshes. "I am President Musa, I am your challenger".

"I see" Blane said before putting one of his sword in his mouth "Then let's fight".

"Fool" Musa said before unsheathing his sword "Prepare to be defeated". They charged head on. Their swords clashed. "My, how powerful. But you're fate is sealed the moment you messed with the balls".

"Wuh" Blane gasped as the pachinko balls vibrated. They soon rolled toward Blane, making him slip. "GAH, is this a devil fruit?".

"Incorrect, tis a marvel of modern technology" Musa said, pointing to a band around his head "Watch your step, always".

"How dare you damage the cards" A Man in a vibrant green and gold suit said as he twirled a card in his hand "The name is President O'Connell, The President of Fair Jack Abbey. By messing with me cards, you shall die here".

"And how?" Joel mocked before the card in O'Connell's hand whizzed by his cheek, cut it "YEOUCH".

"Don't mess with a man who studied the ways of Wano's Shinobi. Everything is a weapon when used right".

"Long live steam" A roar yelled as a mech suit made of gold smashed down in front of Rex "I am President Hindenburg, The President of Slots Engine. For destroying my hard work, I shall turn you into elk paste".

"I'm half Reinde-AH" A Puff of hot steam erupted from the mech's knuckle, shooting Rex away.

"I don't care what beast you are, I shall turn you into a trophy".

Gas erupts from the vents as a man in a tattered suit and gas mask walks out "I presume you are The Hermit?".

"Yeah, and your are" Shock said.

The gas began to cover man's body as he unsheathed his guns "I am President Gasman, The President of Warfield Shots and The Master of the Leaderboard".

"Yeah, we'll see" Shock growled seeing the gas obstruct him.

"Geez, this place feels large" Riley said before she heard rumbling.

"THE GAME HAS BEGAN. HIDE LIKE MAD" A voice announced as the rumbling grew.

"What the-" She tried to swear but a large line of massive golden balls moved in front of her.

"FOUND YOU, FOUND YOU" The balls moved to reveal a large man attached to them "I AM PRESIDENT CHASER, THE MASTER OF HIDE AND FREAK. YOU LOSE BOTH THE GAME AND YOUR LIFE". On this other side, another line of balls stretched from where his arm should be.

"GODA" Riley yelled as she dodged. She noticed the end of the balls have weird hands. "Is that a devil fruit?!?!?".

"INDEED, THE CHASE-CHASE FRUIT. YOU AREN'T SAFE AS LONG ARE MY ARMS CAN REACH YOU WHICH IS, SPOILER, EVERYWHERE".

"GAH" Aisa yelped as a hand slapped her away.

Before her was a sumo wrestler wearing a tie "I'm Nuppeppo, The Guarding Wall"

"I don't care what you are" Aisa said jumping, a series of clouds boosting her in the air "Gum-Gum Warrior Sky Heel". She tries to bring to bring down her heel on the wrestler.

"Yakitori Power Palm" Nuppeppo yelled as he sent a wave towards Aisa with a thrust of the his palm. The wave knocks Aisa off-course before landing on her butt.

"What the he-" Aisa tried to say before a powerful backhand smacked her away.

"Miso Power Slap" Nuppeppo said before laughing "You're a runt, Child of Shandora. Your Death will be Treasure to us".

Cyan sat on a table, waiting for her opponent. The air felt ominous but it still didn't matter to her. She just wanted to fight Kelvin and send him to the blue sea. She yawns before hearing footsteps.

"Finally" She turned to see a jolly man with a thick beard wearing a purple bathrobe with red highlights "You're Kelvin?".

"Greetings, 'Diamond' Cyan" Kelvin said with a bow "I am Marfeld D. Kelvin. Welcome to Geronimo Casino, The Babel of Modern Life. I am saddened we couldn't give you the full Geronimo experience, however I do wish our fight to be one you'll take to your cell".

"Thank you, you're so ki-WAIT CELL" Cyan yelled.

"Indeed. As we speak, The Underworld is betting on your body" He said, pointing to a security snail.

Cyan gagged "Trafficking is illegal, as is slavery. Neither the Marines nor the Pirate Kings would let you do live for this".

Kelvin laughed before pulling out a book "'Naval Law #153 section 2: No one has the right to Capture and Sell slaves upon the Blue Seas. Code of King #5: The Act of Selling and Capturing individuals on the Blue Seas are to be made illegal and those who shall participate be stripped of all honors and be sent to the Marina Grande'. As you can see, the rules state it's illegal on the Blue Seas. We are on a White Sea. Furthermore, while it's illegal to sell them on the Blue Seas, it says nothing about owning them".

Cyan growled as he laughed "What I am doing is perfectly legal in the eyes of both laws".

"You MONSTER" Cyan yelled as wind coated her fist "Gale-Gale Pistol". She struck Kelvin in the gut, who didn't even flinch.

"Now now, it's rude to hurt your host" Kelvin laughed before walking towards her "Now, let's finish this fast. I have a business to run".
