*770 Years later*
I woke up again, though this time I could barely hold my excitement in. I immediately moved towards the beach. I could barely hold myself back from running up and beginning a conquest of the world. Though some calming breaths helped keep everything from falling apart. I had places to be, and I had an army to see once more. This is a good day. I thought to myself.
I found myself in the cave that I had set up as my base of operations back then, and from what I can tell, it's still in use. There were swords, spears, axes, and more simply lying around but the most obvious fact that it was still in use was the hundreds of beings wandering around. They looked like naga but there were a few that looked similar to me, with a snake's lower body but a human upper body. they generally have hair and are considered the fairest of the three.

And then there were the ones whose body was humanoid but was almost entirely snake. they are similar to a human who has eaten a zoan fruit if not for the fact that they can't change shape like those who have eaten one.

And then there were the ones who were simply monsters were of similar shape to humans but had horns, claws, and armor protecting them. they are not even considered truly part of the race, but rather thought of as like a guard dog. not a pet but not something living up to their standards. and they have good reason to do so.

each one had their own advantages and disadvantages but that's what you get for messing around with genetics.
the first kind is easily the most intelligent and logical but in return has much less brute strength and technique than the other two. the second kind is in-between of the other two. its intelligence is higher than an ordinary human but not by much, though it also has strength much higher than a human's. and the third kind is all brute force and no intelligence. they are the most common and are usually used for grunt work or meat shields.
they are not even considered truly part of the race, but rather thought of as like a guard dog. not a pet but not something living up to their standards. and they have good reason to do so. If they were to be left alone, they would just end up all falling into a pit and killing each other because they would think of each other as enemies. The first group is generally the vice and rear admirals for the most part. The second group takes up captains, lieutenants, commodores and chief petty officers. The third group takes up the last few ranks. The Admirals are to be made up of my crew and I shall be The Fleet Admiral. Though that's for later. I couldn't help but want to go out and experience the world of one piece. After all, one piece is basically all about luffys adventures. So what I’ve seen so far of the one piece world, isn't the true one piece world. I shook my head at the thought that seen nothing (you know nothing Jon snow) but I couldn't hold back my excitement at the thought of finally seeing Roger go through the Grand Line. Just a few more years.
I should probably take care of the sea kings though, after all, I don't want them to ruin it all. I immediately started to leave the cave and as I went upwards I changed my shape. I became bigger but I wasn't as big as my original form. I was only on the larger side of sea kings. I immediately started to move towards where I know most of the biggest sea kings are: The Calm Belt. I've been to the calm belt before but it couldn't really be considered visiting it as I basically swam past it. Upon reaching the top of the hole and seeing the entrance once more, I changed my size again. This time I became about the size of a small ship. I quickly passed through the tunnel and went upwards towards the calm belt. Though I made sure not to attract attention. This isn't like hundreds of years before the storyline. If I do something wrong then it might end up biting me in the ass later. I quickly moved towards the bottom of the sea and I found exactly what I wanted.
The sea king nest. And not just any sea king nest, but the biggest one to date. Inside the nest were some of the sea kings that I was most familiar with, seeing as though they had been used repeatedly throughout the story. They were the sea kings who had carried the Noah when it was sent spiraling towards Fishman Island. They were the big black and white one, the one with white tufts of fur and a birds beak, one that looked like a frog, and the big orange one. They were some of, if not the, biggest sea kings that there have been so far in the One Piece series. And I am here to beat them up. I couldn't help the smile that was upon my face at the thought of fighting them. Though I may be superior to them, that's in my original body only. In this body, it should make for an interesting fight no doubt.
I worked my way over til I was a few hundred meters away from them. From what I could tell, they were completely asleep. Wakey wakey bitches. I grinned and immediately turned my aura on. I watched as an actual wave was made around me from the aura and I saw the sea kings immediately react by jumping straight up and looking towards me as if I was a shark and them a minnow. I thought about beating the shit out of them before I realized, that would just take too long and be too boring. (it has nothing to do with the fact that I have no idea on how to do an underwater, gigantic monster, battle. Nothing whatsoever) “hello there beasties. Did you enjoy your nap?” I sent them telepathic messages just like I had done to zunisha before.
Though they didn't have nearly as much confusion as zunisha because they seemed to think that I was another sea king. “Now then, we need to talk. I'm afraid to tell you that I'm much stronger than you are. So I think I should be in charge of you. If you have any problems then feel free to challenge me.” I was EXTRAORDINARILY blunt with them because they are simply monsters of the sea. They understood the law of the underwater jungle. However, at me saying that the biggest sea king that was there showed off its own intent. This was open defiance against me so naturally, I did the only logical thing. I upped the pressure on them and I increased my size to about half that of zunisha. (10,000 meters ish.) The sea king immediately backed down when I showed off a little bit. Though I immediately after shrunk down once more. “I know that you can speak, so do tell, why don't you?” I was honestly curious. I had seen in the anime that they speak but for some reason, they were totally silent towards me. They, however, kept their imaginary vows of silence, leaving me to my own devices.
“Eh, whatever. Now then, seeing as though I command you now, I should tell you that I will be gone for the most part. You guys will be able to do whatever the fuck you want until I called you. Should you say no to my call, I will eat you. Now that that's settled, you are free to go back to sleep. Good day to you all” I honestly didn't give a shit about them, as long as they don't get in my way then we will get along fine.
…
It's been three years since I have spoken with the sea kings, and the time for Roger to come is growing nearer. For the past few months, I have been waiting around the entrance to Fishman Island. He should be here in the next month or so. Honestly, can't he hurry up?
….. I finally see it. The Oro Jackson. It looked just like in the anime. I could see the mermaids holding the cannon and the red striped sail with the Roger jolly roger on it. Showtime. I immediately began to move my body downwards going in front of the Oro Jackson. I quickly came close to the bottom and I began to change my shape. I changed into a mini-sized me before moving around. I awaited the Oro Jackson and soon enough, down it came. I was finally able to see the man who caused the changing of an entire era.
he was a tall man. His most prominent physical features were his curved black mustache, a fierce grin he almost always wore, and his intense eyes. He also had thick black hair and a short, thick neck.
He wore a long red captain's coat. Beneath his coat, he wore a blue shirt and had a yellow sash around his waist. He wore a white cravat around his neck, dark blue pants, and what appeared to be black sea boots. He also wore a pirate hat with his Jolly Roger on it over a yellow spotted bandana.
His entire being seemed to attract others to his cause. Heck even I was a little tempted to keep him from dying, thankfully I remembered my mission. Though the sight couldn't keep me from whispering to myself, “Truly an amazing man. Rayleigh was absolutely correct about him. It's like he raised his charisma stat above all his other stats.” though this seemed to attract rogers attention, regardless of how quietly I was speaking.
“Rayleigh, Did you hear that voice?” he asked his second in command, Dark King Rayleigh. Rayleigh had strawberry blonde hair clean cut and had a moderate amount of facial hair. He had stripes on his chin for facial hair while he wore a purple overcoat with nothing underneath, showing off his chest. He wore glasses and had a large scar over his right eye that he had for years. He had on green pants and brown shoes along with a red and white striped band on his left wrist. Rayleigh is a muscular man with a broad chest and well-built body by all standards, so he was a rather intimidating man.
“What are you talking about? It's really quiet down here.” he responded while keeping a curious tone and mask plastered on. Roger ignored him and walked over to the balcony, before screaming out, “WHO ARE YOU, TALKING IN SUCH DEEP SEA? ... HEY SHOW YOURSELF!” He seemed a bit upset by the prospect of me not being there so I decided to give him a bit of a tease. I let out my tail from where I was hiding and I put it into plain view. He seemed to notice it before looking away. I was a little annoyed that he immediately went back to looking for me even though I was right there. “Well now, it's quite mean to ignore the one who you were searching for. Though I will forgive you because you are rather interesting. I don't remember the last time that a human could understand what I was saying. Good luck on your journey, little one.” I immediately told him that before I retreated, all the while he kept yelling at me; though I couldn't hear what he was saying. On to the next step. This should be fun. I had a smile on my face at the thought of meeting and being with the one person in all of one piece that I respected as a person and on an emotional level. But first, I need to sleep a bit more. After all, who wants to spend five years completely awake. And without a second thought, I curled up once more, to take a nap.
…
*The Ohara Incident, 22 years before Present.*
On the island of Ohara was a group of scholars and architects all of whom were trying their best to do their jobs of storing knowledge, and figuring out history. In a secret basement of the Tree of Knowledge, however, was a large dark blue cube known as a Poneglyph. The scholars and architects were trying their best to study the cube despite the illegalization of such an act by the world government. They even sent out a group of thirty-four people six years before this, to try to find more poneglyphs so they could understand the codes/language used.
Unfortunately, they were unable to dodge the marines in the end and they killed all but the leader. Nico Olvia. They interrogated/tortured her for days but were only able to break her body, while her spirit continued on in defiance. They, however, found evidence that they had come from Ohara and sent out a CP9 unit to investigate. Olvia, however, escaped with the help of Vice Admiral Jaguar D Saul and managed to return to Ohara and warn her comrades about the marines heading their way. Though they were too headstrong to leave the island and leave their precious history to be destroyed. They stayed inside the tree, while Nico Olvia ran out carrying a musket with intentions of putting a stop to this all. She ran all the way towards where CP9 had dropped in, and where the chief, spandine, was at the time.
Coming upon a rock Olvia stayed there and waited for Spandine’s arrival, and not a minute later he came. Turning over and putting herself into full view, she shot at spandine and managed to hit his sleeve while scraping his skin just a tiny bit.
“My next shot won't miss.” she declared ominously to the man while keeping her gun trained on him. “And you would be, heh, the one who compounded her crimes by breaking out of the marine prison… just so happens to come to this island, Nico Olvia!” He responded while smirking, “The woman who continued to deny any relation to the scholars of Ohara… And yet she came here of all places. Almost as if asserting that it was her home town. Your teams' investigation ship has committed the same crim as this places scholars, too.”
This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.
Olvia frowned and was silent for a moment before speaking up once more. “Just because I'm here doesn't mean you'll be able to prove something.” though at saying that spandine chuckled before responding. “It seems you've prepared any number of things to say… You're a smart woman, but you've already been caught. It's not even necessary for you to have a relationship with Ohara and I'm sure something will turn up if we search every nook and cranny here. We are just about to prove that you're researching the poneglyphs. And as soon as we find it, there will be a 100% chance that the government will crush you. For six years, you ran from sea to sea until we caught you. That little bit of impetus was enough… in order to catch all those who would investigate the poneglyphs, we always hoped to find a connection to Ohara. Do you know why that is?” he asked with a smile after explaining, leaving Olvia with a shocked expression on her face, as she responded. “... It can't be… to use Ohara as an example!” though at her exclamation spandine laughed and responded, “HA HA! You got it!!! It would be a huge event for the academic world if the holy land of archeology, Ohara, were to be annihilated! The whole world will know that it's a mistake to try to fill in the 100 years of blank pages!”
Olvia had a cold expression on her face as she responded with a shell shocked voice, “then the waiting order for the mainlands warship…” she didn't finish her sentence as spandine did it for her. “Ho ho, it appears that you know quite a lot. Yep, that's to prevent any criminal we could make an example of from escaping. But, there are still formalities we have to confirm. We aren't pirates you know. I came here for the purpose of driving away those who aren't a part of our special investigation.” as soon as he finished speaking he held a grin upon his face as he ordered the two men next to him, “Cut her down.” and without a moment's hesitation, they launched themselves at Olvia and cut her at the stomach with Rokushiki.
Meanwhile, Robin arrived at the Tree of Knowledge.
“Bad news there's a marine warship headed for the island! They're here to catch all the island scholars!” a scholar shouted out which generated whispers and mumbles among the architects. Before creating full-on conversations between them as to what purpose that they would do this for. Clover, however, focused on Robin, squatted down to her level and began to speak to her. “Alright Robin, the government's men are probably looking for you. You must not let them know you are an archeologist. Because you are so small no one would think that you are a scholar.” though he didn't get much time to speak to her as, suddenly, the door burst open and the agents swarmed in,
“This Oharan research facility is charged under suspicion of the great crime of decyphering poneglyphs! Everyone, step outside while we thoroughly investigate these claims!” they telling everyone to go outside, as they began to ransack the library much to the scholars' shock. “Please take care during your little rampage, the things here are far more valuable than you could possibly fathom.” Clover tried to reason with them, but one of the agents told Clover not to tell him how to do his job. Meanwhile, more soldiers were telling the townspeople about the refugee ship that was for them so they could leave the island, while more menacingly adding in the fact that if they stay on the island and get hurt, they shall take no responsibility for it. Which caused the civilians to go into a panic and rush towards their families to get them to the ship.
Outside the tree of omniscience, the group of archeologists were sitting around in a circle except for Robin who stood. Clover was trying his best to make her leave, “Robin, there should be a place for you on the refugee boat. I'm not sure what the government is planning to do, but you must go.. Quickly!” unfortunately Robin didn't understand that/ understood that and didn't care as she stood with them all. Then out of the forest, came spandine and his agents who carried the almost dead Olvia. “This one almost killed me, Muhahahaha!!! She's an escaped prisoner, her group was eliminated the other day for deciphering the ancient text. It would certainly explain a few things if the lot of you had any connection to her.”
he spoke with a cold tone as the shocked archeologists were looking upon her body. Suddenly an explosion was heard from the tree of Omniscience as the shocked archeologists shouted at him. Meanwhile, a single den den mushi rang. The chief pulled one out from his pocket and answered it. “We've found something, sir! In a room in the basement, there is a huge stone that looks like a poneglyph. They were studying the ancient characters in this room!” upon hearing that spandine had a bloodthirsty grin on his face as he called out, “WE HAVE OFFICIALLY MADE A DECISION ON YOUR EXECUTION!!! Muhahahaha!!! Such a sad truth that today, on this very day, the greatest scholars in the world will have lost their lives!”
Spandine immediately contacted Marine Headquarters, which led to an argument between Clover and the Five Elders as Clover tried his best to tell him exactly what the world government was and how it related to the Void Century and ended with Clover getting shot and seriously wounded. After the argument, the Five Elders ordered the Marines to activate the Buster Call. They shot the Tree of Knowledge, setting it on fire as the scholars desperately tried to put it out and save the books.
Meanwhile, among the chaos, Robin was finally reunited with Olivia. At first Olivia tried to lie in order to save Robin from being labeled as a criminal's daughter; however, she finally gave in and hugged Robin. Out of nowhere though Robin stopped the hug, sat down to the left of her mother and simply held her hand. “I always wanted to do this, to just hold the hands of each other. It didn't have to be anything big, just to be together even if for a little while. ALWAYS.” she spoke with conviction as tears began to flow from her eyes and Olvia pulled her in for a hug. Eventually, they pulled away and Olvia spoke once more. “I'm very surprised that you're able to read them. You studied hard, didn't you? It's not an easy thing to do… I'm very proud of you, Robin.” Robin began tearing at the eyes once more, though this time it was because of plain joy and pride that even her mother was happy for her.
Though this moment was broken up when Saul came running out of the woods. Olvia seemed completely shocked that he was here as the last time she had seen him was out on the sea and quite far from Ohara. “Saul! Why are you on this island?!” though saul seemed more focused on the present as responded, “Some Kinda Fate! Da ship was lost in da sea an’ robin rescued me on da beach. Forget about dat! Da situation is really serious!! Ya hafta get offa da island!” though olvia seemed focused on something else and she soon shared her thoughts, “Take care of Robin for me! Take my daughter, take her away from this island!” though both Robin and Saul looked shocked at the idea as Robin immediately responded “NO..! what about you, mom!? Aren't you coming with me!?” though olvia ignored her as she focused on sauls next words. “Olvia, ya sure?” though with conviction in her eyes, a confident smile on her lips and a face that could out chicken a rhino she responded “I still have things to do here.” though Robin wasn't having it as she struggled to get out of Sauls' hands while screaming
“ MOM, I DON'T WANT US TO BE SEPARATED!!! WE’VE FINALLY MET!! I'M STAYING HERE TOO!!!” though Olvia simply had a small smile on her now as she looked at her daughter, who had grown to be a fine young lady before responding. “Robin, if you are a scholar of Ohara, you should know it well. “History” is… an asset to humanity. I'm sure it will shed some light on the future you will be living. But you have to pass on the history that you've inherited from the past. It's not that Ohara wanted to reveal the history, it's just that we wanted to hear the voices of the past and protect them. But our research will end here, but even if Ohara perishes, we must give up on the future that you'll be living in! You will understand one day. Now go Saul.” Olvia finished up explaining to her daughter before turning to saul who responded “...Ya sure?” while Robin screamed her desire to stay with her mother. Saul turned around while Olvia screamed to her daughter, her light, her love in the world, “LIVE YOUR LIFE TO THE FULLEST!!! FOR ME!!! ROBIN!!!” her eyes had tears streaming out of them like rivers coming down the mountains and her face was watered like flowers after the rain.
Saul ran towards the beach where the evacuation boat was located while cannon fire landed all around him. “Robin, Be proud Robin. Yer mother was honorable. Ohara is honorable. Pass on da history of dis place, Robin. Ohara FOUGHT DA WORLD!” though while Saul was trying to cheer Robin up, he failed to notice the cannonball coming straight for him until it was too late, and it hit him directly in the head. He apologized to Robin before setting her down and running towards the ship that fired. “I Dunno what da justice is now, but Ill jus’ protect muh friend! Be ready… if ya make me yer enemy… I Won't Let You Get AWAY!” and with that Saul pushed his body against the warship and strained himself, lifting the entire warship out of the water and into his arms before throwing it towards another ship. Soldiers were screaming out in terror and confusion as to why he was here on Ohara but it mattered not in the end. As he kept destroying the ships all around. Cannon shots kept hitting saul as he was now within extremely close range while Robin begged him to stop, because if he continued he would die. Cannon fire was now hitting the very tree of omniscience itself, attempting to knock it over.
“ROBIN!! WAT’S YER MOMS LAST WISH!!?” saul screamed at Robin while she remembered. LIVE, ROBIN! Robin immediately began to run towards the evacuation boat as it was about to depart. They stopped for a minute before the townspeople began to call her a monster and realized that she was Olvia’s daughter and they decided to leave her, while she cried her tears of despair once more. Unbeknownst to her, chief spandine had noticed her and had ordered the evacuation boat to not let her on, on account that she was an archeologist. She began to run in another direction with Saul chasing behind her. They were running towards chief Spanidne’s ship. The chief ordered his men to fire upon Saul, but before they could fire, Ice spears came out of nowhere and cut him from behind. Saul fell while calling out the name, Kuzan.
“My My My… if an ex-marine gets in the way of a buster called... it wouldn't look good for us, would it?” Kuzan walked towards them while Saul shouted at him in a rage, “KUZAN! Can you be proud of Dis attack!!? It's strange, you should know it very well!!! This is just to make an example!! They are going to Obliterate Ohara for that purpose!!” though Kuzan had no facial change as he replied, “If this is for the greater good of the world, then I have no opinion. The scholars are breaking the law after all. The thing called “Justice” changes depending on where you stand. So I won't blame you for “Justice” but if you get in our way, I can't leave you be!-” Kuzan’s speech was cut short by the sound and sight of an explosion on the sea, while men screamed different phrases.
“THE EVACUATION SHIP EXPLODED!!” one shouted, “Why Did that happen??” a second questioned. “It's a bombardment from a warship! From Vice Admiral Sakazuki’s warship!” a third bellowed.
If one listened carefully they could hear the cries of pain from the civilians while Kuzan cursed Sakazuki for being a bastard. Though it didn't matter what he called him as Saul, deep in a rage, Screamed “Is this your deed of justice!!? CAN YOU STILL BE PROUD OF YOURSELF AFTER THIS!!?” while he attacked Kuzan with all of his might, which led to many craters being formed from the blows he made that missed. Though Kuzan tried to reply back, “I Wasn't going to overdo it as much as that fool!” though Saul wasn't paying attention as he grabbed Robin and began running again while Kuzan chased him before using “Ice time Capsule”. The ice ran across the ground before hitting Saul in the left leg and freezing it completely. He fell over but managed to stay on his elbows while he spoke to Robin.
“Run wif all yer might! If ya stay on dis island, ya ain't gonna survive! Just… Use my raft and sail out. Dis is as far as I can get. I'm caught! Now go!” he tried his best to reason with Robin who kept responding that there was no one out on the sea for her, until finally, he told her “Listen up Robin, even though yer alone now, Sumday surely Ye’r gonna meet yer “Nakama”. The sea is vast Sumday surely, yer Nakama will appear to protect you. Once yer born into dis world, yer neva gonna be alone! Run Robin, dun look back and remember what I taught you. Smile like Dis. DereShishishishi! DereShishishishi! Sumwhere out der in da sea, ya will surely meet yer Nakama, Robin!!!” Robin at that point turned around and ran, while her tears fell in a path behind her and her wails of anger, frustration, despair, and sadness were heard throughout the island.
Robin ran to the end of the island where she happened upon Kuzan. Seeing him she immediately backed away with fear in her eyes and anger on her face. Though before she could do anything, kuzan spoke. “...Absolute justice... sometimes drives a man insane. I've decided to let you escape from this island… A “seed” that Saul protected… I wonder what it will become.” Robins shock could clearly be seen on her face as she looked and listened to the man in front of her. Though kuzan continued speaking “It's none of my business whom you hold a grudge against. But be glad you have a life right now. In the future try to live as ordinary a life as possible. I've prepared a path on the ice for you. If you travel straight with this boat, you will reach land. And remember this, I'm not your friend. If you do anything, I will be the first enemy to catch you.” at this point Robin had tears about to flow again but she had to ask. “My mom is still on the island.” though her dreams were crushed by Kuzan who simply replied “No one could survive. If you wish to die of bitterness, well that's up to you.” and with that, Kuzan left her alone with naught but her thoughts, memories, and a boat with a destination.
Meanwhile back at the tree of omniscience was Olvia was sitting alone, surrounded by all sides by flames. ‘I'm sorry Robin, I couldn't leave you any words... as your mother.’ she closed her eyes to the all-encompassing white, to the pain, and to the flames. Do you wish to live? Her eyes fluttered open at the voice that surrounded her. She looked through the flames, trying to find what had spoken. But she saw nothing. All she heard was the voice spoke again, asking the same question. Do you wish to live? Olvia closed her eyes again but after a moment opened them once more, determination flaring. “To who is out there, If I get to live and see my daughter, I will do anything or become anyone,” she spoke her piece, but all that greeted her was silence. As she began to rapidly lose confidence she heard a noise. Sssssss. It was a soft slithering sound. Good choice, little one. As soon as she heard the voice, her eyes closed once more. Though this would be the last time she closed them as Nico Olvia, for she was dead. From now on, she would be the right hand of the gorgon pirates, the Gorgon Medusa.
*Oceanus POV*
I took her out of the flames and onto one of the last areas that wasn't on fire on this godforsaken island. Thinking back on what I had seen, I couldn't help but sigh at the sadness before me. Honestly, both of them had such sad lives. I then got to work on what was necessary. I first took her pulse and made sure that I wasn't too late and that she was still alive. Thankfully though there was one, though it was faint. Thank goodness, OK move onto step two. I then took one of my claws down to her chest and made a small cut directly underneath her left breast. I, of course, had to move the clothing out of the way before I could do so, and if i'm being honest, I may have lingered in a few spots too long. Though once I got through her chest cavity I stared for a moment at the open heart before I started the procedure. I took another claw of mine and I brought it to my wrist and I began cutting. And not like fake suicide cutting, I cut deep. Going almost all the way to the bone. Though it honestly didn't hurt that much. Probably due to my time “there”. I dripped the blood directly onto her heart which strangely enough caused it to sizzle a little before it started to morph. It changed into a much larger size and color, going from the size of a fist to a head and the color red to green. Her body began to change as well, while I kept dripping in more blood. Dripping is an understatement. This is a downpour. Though I kept dripping and her body changed. First of all, was her skin color. It became lighter. Second of all was her eyes. They changed to yellow with black lining running around them. Third of all was her body. It became similar to mine as a naga. Though hers became more similar to a green rattlesnake than something like mine. And last but not least, her hair. It became snakes. Just straight up snakes. They look like a green mamba but with more obviously yellow eyes. Overall If I had to describe her at that moment, I would use one word. Beautiful.
Move onto the final step of the plan.
Spoiler: Nico Olvia/Medusa
