East blue. Year: 22PE. Orange Village.

In the small town of Orange village where people come together to take care of problems, there is a small cottage in which a young man is sitting in a chair taking a nap. He's a darker skinned fellow with a mop of cobalt blue hair. He had red glowing eyes with a vertical slit for a pupil. He was both tall and extremely muscular. He was ripped with muscle showing on his body no matter what position he was in. He was a gigantic man, sitting in a chair he was around six feet tall. He had many scars on his body, though three in particular. He has one over the bridge of his nose, making a nice white scar. The second scar is over his hand, it looks like he had shoved his hand into a mountain of glass and then pulled it back out at the fastest possible speed. The third scar goes over his chest in a marking that makes it look like he survived a bear attack. He was simply snoozing away when he heard an explosion in the distance

*BOOM*

*First person Pov*

I jumped up as I heard an explosion and the ground beneath me was shaking. It felt like an earthquake but it was too short. What the hell was that? I couldn't help but be worried, as we don't get many earthquakes. Wait, is it him yet? I couldn't help but giggle with glee at the thought that ‘he’ was here already. Eager and excitable I checked the calendar for what date it was true! The time had come! I immediately opened my door and I began to look around for where the explosion had come from. I didn't see any flames, but there were a lot more destroyed buildings than I remember being here at first.

*BOOM*

Another earth-shattering quake went off, though this time I could tell where it came from. There was a blue and gold building with a huge cannon on top that was pointed outwards. There was still smoke coming out so it was most likely used recently.

*BOOM* a third explosion came, though this time it didn't come from the cannon itself, but rather it came from Somewhere and it hit the building. Completely destroying it in the process. Though now that I look around near the area, I see a group of three people on the ground in front of the building. One was in blue pants and a red shirt, with a straw hat on top. The second was in a white shirt, green pants, and had a blackish green bandana on top the third was a young woman with orange hair, a miniskirt, and a blue and white shirt. I knew who they were. It was Luffy Zoro and Nami. I immediately made my way over towards them and I managed to get within about 25 feet of them before I stopped completely.

“Yay, their numbers have decreased!! Shall we start?!” Luffy asked the other guys with a wide grin on his face as he stared at the collapsed building. Zoro simply mumbled something in annoyance, and Nami shouted something about whether or not she was human. Basic nami, of course, he isn't human. He's Luffy. I smiled at my own joke and unlike when I was in my other forms, it was a nice smile. Kinda sweet. And with my body, it's like looking at a gentle giant.

Nami was back to shouting at Luffy, “explain yourself! From the I don't understand any of this at all! From the moment you fought with the lion and came back alive! This isn't humanly possible!! How The Hell Did You Swell Up Like A Baloon?!” and of course Luffy being Luffy responded with “Gomu Gomu Baloon-” though before he could finish his sentence Nami reprimanded him as she wasn't asking for the name of the technique. “HA HA HA…!!” out of the rubble came laughter suggesting that even though the area was bombarded, there was still something alive down there. “You're chatting around, making a lot of noise, like you’re not scared.” Buggy came out holding onto a few of his crewmen whos bodies were browned from the explosion while buggy was completely unscathed.

While his vice captain came out holding richie the lion whom he had used as a body shield. Nami was shocked at what she saw before her, Zoro just looked calm and collected at the situation. if there is one way to make nami angry at you, it's to use your allies as disposable pawns. Though before they could really say anything, the beast tamer Mohji woke up and freaked out when he saw Luffy. “EHCK!! The kid in the straw hat! Captain Buggy, be careful of that kid! That kid is also one who gained powers from eating a devil fruit! He's a rubber Man!” Buggy seemed to think about it and mumbled “so that's why he was able to bounce back the special buggy ball. But Mohji, if you knew that already, Why the heck didn't you tell me so earlier?!!!” and with that, buggy threw Mohji towards Luffy in anger. Only for Luffy to then kick him into Nami’s direction as she jumped over the body. Cabaji the acrobat then came along, claiming to seek vengeance as he thrust his sword towards Luffy only for Zoro to block it with his own blade. “If it's swords I'm all for it,” zoro told the acrobat who responded in kind. “It's an honor Roronoa Zoro… as a swordsman, I get to slay you.”

Luffy tried to talk him out of fighting for a moment as he watched his wound throb. Though Cabaji noticed this and immediately took action. “Acrobat Technique: Fire Trick!” as soon as he said that he pulled the mask down from his face momentarily as he spat fire out of his mouth and into Zoro’s face. And while he was blinded, Cabaji kicked zoro directly in his wound with his tipped shoes. Zoro let out a shout of pain before falling onto the floor from the pain while Cabaji casually commented on how he didn't hit him that hard. Cabaji then slammed his sword into the ground while shouting out, “Acrobat Technique: Murder mist trick!” him slamming it into the ground, however, did, in fact, create a smokescreen but zoro simply insulted it, “Some trick, It's just a cloud of dust!” though out of the dust came Cabaji who immediately swung his sword in an overhead manner, trying to lodge the blade in Zoro’s head. Though when zoro blocked his strike he once again swung his leg and hit him in the same spot. Zoro let out another cry of pain while falling once more. “What's wrong? A grown man rolling around crying out loud is absolutely pathetic to watch. Because of your partner's odd power we've suddenly gone to pieces. Even though your a Pirate hunter, making the buggy pirate fleet your enemy was a big mistake.”

Cabaji was simply on his unicycle while speaking to zoro who was still gasping for air, while nami was shouting at Luffy for not helping zoro and for being ‘Silent and stone-faced’ as she called it. “Roronoa Zoro, Go to the next world!” Cabaji attempted another thrust but zoro simply moved faster than him and punched him off his unicycle while the others were surprised that he could do so. “What an annoying guy, Do you find tearing at my wound so fun?!” Zoro mocked Cabaji before he cut his wound himself with his blade, much to the shock of all the others who were watching. “Huf, My goal is to become the world’s greatest swordsman… is my condition now satisfying enough for you? Lemme teach you the difference in level between us.” Zoro stood tall with a wound gushing blood and, faith that he will win, blossoming upon himself. “Roronoa Zoro, what an impudent fool” mocked Cabaji though Zoro simply responded with “To anyone who calls himself a swordsman… I won't allow myself to lose to him even once!!”

Cabaji seemed a little surprised by his words as he responded “Oho… you got a strong determination there, but don't worry… fighting me with such a serious injury, you can use that as an excuse for when I defeat you.” though Zoro deemed this to be nonsense, “... Nonsense, with this sort of injury, if I lose against the likes of you, my life carries an obvious fate. Hehe”. Nami hen decided to head over to the base of Buggy to look for more treasure though. Stating that whether or not they win, will have nothing to do with her as. She took off as Luffy wished her well for the time being before returning his attention to the fight. “Take a taste of the best trick I have!” Cabaji shouted with tops spinning on his arms before he launched them at zoro and began to run up the wall at the fastest possible speed. Zoro easily knocked them down but only noticed that Cabaji was above him when he already began to fall.

He was so focused on Cabaji he failed to notice that Buggy had sent one of his hands towards him until he shouted out the technique name. “Cabaji Ill grab him in place, so finish Zoro off!” “yes, Captain!” they quickly went over their ambush while Zoro could only curse. Though before the hand could reach zoro, a sandaled foot came out of nowhere and stomped on it while buggy screamed in pain. “LUFFY!” Zoro shouted. But Luffy simply looked at Buggy and spoke, “you don't interfere in Zoros fight!” however Cabaji was still coming down quickly to zoro with his sword facing downward. Though Zoro was able to dodge out of the way now without buggy interfering. However he began panting, and he spoke. “Stop now, I'm tired.” Cabaji was shocked before he started laughing and insulting Zoro, “You're tired? Hahahahaha! Are you getting anemia? You've finally given up. Well, I suppose it was obvious! I mean, it's a substantial effort to stay standing.” however before he could continue to insult him, Zoro came over and kicked him off his unicycle. “I meant, I'm tired of being the opponent of someone who has such pitiful skills!” though angered and reckless, Cabaji pulled his sword again and attempted to dash towards Zoro. “Then Let me finish you off, With my real sword skills!” however Zoro simply squatted a little while speaking, “Oni...GIRI!”

He dashed forward, passing Cabaji by, too quickly for him to keep up, and sliced him across the chest. He then fell over along with Cabaji and told Luffy, “Luffy, I'm gonna sleep” “yeah, you sleep. I'm gonna finish this off.” he then turned back to buggy who had been watching this whole time. “You mean you guys are pirates?!!” at which Luffy immediately replied with “Yeah! Now hand over the grandline map.” buggy had a frown on his face as he responded in kind. So that was your goal… that place isn't exactly where nameless pirates such as yourself can go as they please. So what are you planning to do there!! You wanna have a sightseeing tour?!!” however Luffy replied with a voice laden in conviction and confidence, “I'm going to become the pirate king.” at hearing this, buggy hung his head in exasperation before roaring at him, “DON'T KID AROUND YOU IDIOTIC FOOL! YOU, BECOME PIRATE KING?!! THEN I'M GOD! THE PERSON WHO WILL GET HIS HANDS ON ALL THE TREASURE IN THE WORLD WILL BE ME DON'T EVEN DREAM ABOUT IT!!”

though Luffy simply told him to shut up. “Seeing your hat reminds me of a guy I knew a long time ago. The impudent red-haired guy.” Luffy hearing this immediately got a little excited and began trying to question buggy about it. “Mmm. what's this? It looks like your considerably interested. I know him but why do you want to know?” buggy asked, though Luffy immediately asked “where is he now?” at which buggy began to speak in a very weird way. “Where…? Well… If I know then I know, and if I don't know then I could also not know anything at all.” though Luffy, not following along, as usual, asked if he was an idiot to which buggy responded by calling him an uncivilized buffoon. “I'm saying that I'm not a nice enough guy to tell you information that you want to know. Even if it's your last wish before you die.” “then let me take it by force” Luffy responded as to which Buggy began laughing and then replied, “Before you hear it, your gonna be dead. Even though your rubber, there are still some things that won't bounce off you.”

he said while spikes came out of his shoes. to which Luffy simply nodded his head and replied with a “yeah that's right.” Buggy then sent his legs spinning in a circular manner with the blades pointed out, making it similar to a saw blade. Luffy just jumped up into the air at which, buggy threw some blades towards him. Though Luffy just shot his arm towards a building and pulled himself along. He then shot out a fist towards buggy who dodged and as he was about to cut his arm, Luffy put his extended on a building and shot himself towards buggy, who popped his head off in order to escape getting hit hard in the head. Luffy incidentally shot himself into some of the wreckage of the building and popped out quickly as buggy shot his arm towards him with a “Bara Bara Cannon!” his handheld four knives though Luffy managed to stop it, but buggy just split it up again. He managed to knock him back into the rubble once more though when Luffy popped out he was angry at the fact that he knicked his hat.

“How Dare you mess up this hat! This is my treasure! I WILL NEVER FORGIVE ANYONE WHO MESSES UP THIS HAT!!” upon seeing him enraged buggy wore a devious smile as he controlled his hand to come up behind and threw one of the knives towards him which he dodged, but was unable to dodge the other three as they pierced through the hat itself. Luffy could only watch as his hat was stabbed and carried off towards buggy who laughed and spat upon it. Luffy upon seeing this immediately rushed towards him while screaming “THAT'S THE HAT I SWORE MYSELF TO WITH SHANKS!!” at which buggy replied, “what? This is shank’s hat? I thought it looked familiar. Me and that guy used to be in the same pirate ship. To rephrase that, he was my comrade when we were still pirate trainees.” Luffy however simply became angrier at hearing that and was ready to punch him at this range, “Shanks is a great man, you say that he was your comrade?! DON'T COMPARE YOURSELF TO HIM!!!”

however instead of punching him in the face, he went for a weaker area. He kicked him right in the nuts. “How dare you treat my treasure like that!” Luffy went on to start beating buggy up and even rubbing the saliva from the hat back onto him. After that buggy stood up again and began to tell his story of his time with shanks. “Throughout my whole life even until today, there has never been a man who has made me madder than he did! That bastard, He, he took a tremendous amount of treasure from me! I can't forgive him!” Flashback. “Because whoever takes my treasure whoever that is, I never LEAVE THEM ALIVE!” and with those words, he spiraled his upper body towards Nami who at the time was leaving with a large bag full of treasure. And as he was about to stab her through, he suddenly stopped mid-air. Luffy had kicked him in the nuts once again. He fell down once more and dropped his knives while Luffy spoke to nami. At hearing that they were calling his treasure theirs, buggy used one of his last moves.

“Bara Bara, FESTIVAL!” and his body exploded into different pieces that began to fly around the others. His entire body except for his feet began to fly towards nami. Each one held a knife or a weapon, as he began to chase her. While Luffy noticed his feet which were walking towards her. He immediately grabbed his feet and began to try his best to induce pain discomfort or just create a distraction. He tried to tickle it, stub his toes on the ground, and even pinch it hard. After enough repeated abuse buggy turned around to shout at Luffy while nami took this opportunity to swing the bag of treasure towards him with the intention of smacking him away. Unfortunately, that didn't go so well as he simply caught it and began to try to take it away from her.

Upon seeing him distracted, Luffy charged towards him once more and kicked him directly in the face. He ended up completely knocking him out. The two then started to clean up the spot, trying to pick up the treasure they had left lying around. Though after they got it all cleaned up and Luffy got the grand line map, Buggy got back up and tried to gather his parts once more. Though it didn't go as planned because he only had his head, feet, and hands to use. He was even smaller than a dwarf. “You wouldn't happen to be looking for these, would you?” nami asked while holding a small pile of body parts that had been tied up with a rope. Luffy burst out into laughter at the sight in front of him while asking nami to leave the rest to him. He then shot his hands back and pulled them forward, generating a huge amount of kinetic energy and shooting buggy off into the airspace.

I hopped down from the roof to another til I got to near where zoro was sleeping. Luffy had come along and was talking to nami about his hat. He walked up to zoro and patted him on the head a few times till he woke up. “Did you finish the fight?” he asked, “Yeah, and we got the map and the treasure,” Luffy responded. Zoro simply sat there for a while before saying “I don't think that I can walk yet.” and Nami immediately told them “Obviously, if you guys can still walk then you aren't human.” though Luffy just looked at her and questioned why she included him in that statement. To which she replied he was the weirdest of them all.

They were just about to go wake up the chief when the villagers came along and tried to talk to them to get answers. They immediately saw the chief and ran over to him to check on his condition. When they asked what happened to him, Luffy answered that he had done that to him. The villagers immediately gave him the death glare, which he was impervious to, and asked if they were pirates. To which Luffy just replied that they were. Zoro couldn't keep himself from laughing and I honestly couldn't either as I let out a laugh to which the villagers and the others looked towards me.

“HA HA HA HA! OOH, THIS IS COMEDY FUCKING GOLD RIGHT HERE! HAHAHA!!” I honestly couldn't help myself and I fell over backward from the laughter. Eventually, though I had gotten back up. Luffy and his crew were staring at me before I decided to greet them. “How are you guys?” Luffy being the electric little ball of energy that he is, Immediately responded, “ I'm good. Who are you?” I just smiled at him and his constant grin. “My name is Oceanus I'm one of the villagers here at Orange village. What's yours?” I played ignorance to who he really was. “I'm Luffy, I'm going to become the king of the pirates!” I raised my eyebrows at his statement. I had heard it a thousand and one times but to hear it directed at me. It gives me the same feeling that Roger did.

“Those are some big words there kiddo, you got the power to back it up?” Luffy just nodded his head and made a noise of agreement. “So if your gonna be king of the pirates, I assume you have a boat?” at this point I had already jumped down from the building and was standing in front of them. I had a good two feet on almost all of them so I had to look down. “Yeah, Why do you ask?” Luffy asked me, while nami just slapped him over the head. Most likely, she doesn't trust me. “Well I honestly want to get off this island and go form a pirate crew, the thing is I don't have a boat. Do you mind if me and my sister catch a ride with you? It won't be far. Heck, I have a map of the area.” Luffy just looked at me with a curious expression while nami tried to talk him out of bringing me along. But it seemed too late as he said, “Sure, lets go!”

I had a smile upon my face as I replied, “Sure let me go get her real quick.” I then lept up to the rooftops while shouting towards them “you might want to get going to your ship. These guys seem to want to tear you guys apart.  I immediately went back to my house and I went to the upstairs room where Medusa was sleeping. I immediately woke her up with the item I prepared a while back. She should wake up in a few hours. I then grabbed a cloak and put it around her as her appearance could cause some issues. I grabbed her and hoisted her into a princess carry then ran out the door to the dock. I saw the soon to be straw-hats running through the alleyways as I ran overhead. I eventually got there at around the same time as they did. “Hey, Sorry i'm late you guys. I had to run across town.” I dropped right next to nami who jumped back at my appearance. Though Luffy didn't seem to care about that. “Whos that in your arms?”

I looked to him then I looked at Medusa before smiling and answering, “this is my little sister.” Luffy seemed to be alright with it but Nami asked the question, “Why does she have a cloak on?” I pretended to be a bit cold for a moment before answering and warming back up, “Because… her appearance would cause some issues. And I don't need to have you guys get in trouble because I let someone see her.” I responded. Luffy was fine with it and nami decided to just ignore it for now. We walked up to the boat that nami had and when we were about to board it, a few pirates came out from hiding. They started to talk about how they had been waiting for them to come along for them so they could rob them. They kept talking for a while before slapping zoro on the head and woke him up. Bad Idea. zoro looked up and upon seeing his face they all ran away at mach speed. I couldn't keep the chuckle in at the situation in front of me and it was at this point that zoro noticed I was with them.

“So who are you?” “Oceanus, who are you?” I asked back. “I'm zoro.” “it's nice to meet you zoro. So what's your name little one?” I asked while looking towards nami. She stopped for a second and simply answered “Nami.” Did I do something wrong? “So tell me, do you guys know how to get to Conomi islands or do you guys need a map?” Nami immediately froze up when I asked that question before she asked, “why do you want to know?” I smirked before answering, “because that's where I'm going. So am I to assume you know the way there, nami?” she slowly unfroze before responding. “Yeah I know the way there but I will just be dropping you off at the closest point.” she obviously didn't want to go any further than that and I was fine with that. “Sure, I'm fine with that. I don't you need you guys to all the way around it. Thanks for taking me either way though.” I tried my best to act friendly to them but I know that nami is suspicious of me and Medusa. I will try my best to get them on my side. Let's just hope they are reasonable. Eh who am I kidding, it's these guys. They are never reasonable.
