---- One Piece: Through the Looking Glass? ----
--- Foreword ---
This story takes place after the Skypiea Arc, and will split off from the normal storyline. I hope you enjoy my work. Good day.
=== Going Merry ===
Things were mostly peaceful; everything was going as normal. Luffy tried to sneak some food from the supply room, but Nami quickly put an end to that. Zoro was training, Chopper was reading medical books, Sanji was lusting after Nami, Robin was reading a book, and Usopp was working on upgrading the Clima Tact for Nami. So, everything was just about an average day. Until a cry split the air....
"Hey, everyone! An enemy ship!!!"
Zoro's cry had alerted the crew, and everyone rushed to the deck. Indeed, there was a pirate ship heading towards them. Usopp readied the cannon, while everyone else braced for impact.
"Target acquired! Firing cannon!!"
The cannonball burst from the cannon, and slammed directly into the enemy ship.
=== The Enemy Ship ===
"Hey! I was tryin' to sleep!!"
The captain grumbled, as he got out of bed. A young woman rushed in, looking startlingly similar to Robin, except that she wore completely black clothes.
"Captain Iful! An enemy ship has just fired on us!!"
Yawning, the captain replied, "So? Let's shoot back. Have Possu ready the cannon."
"Aye-aye, Captain!"
=== Going Merry ===
"Direct hit! Damn, I'm good!!"
Nami slammed Usopp over the head with her Clima Tact, and snapped, "Don't get cocky. Now they'll probably shoot--AH!!!"
Indeed, a cannonball slammed into the side of the ship, sending Usopp and Nami flying. Sanji cried out, "N=Nami-san!!!" and rushed to her aid, ignoring Usopp's crys completely.
Now Luffy was PISSED. Stretching his arms WAY back, he shot them forward with a cry of "Gomu Gomu Bazooka!!!" The blast shot through the mast of the enemy ship, and Luffy held his arms tight around it.
"Get going, Zoro, Sanji, Robin! We're taking the fight to them!!!"
The three crew members climbed on top of Luffy's outstretched arms, and hurried across. When they were onboard, Luffy yelled out, "Gomu Gomu Rocket!!!" and sprang across. When he reached the enemy ship, everyone stood in stunned silence.
There were copies of them - Zoro, Sanji, Robin, Nami, Usopp, and Chopper. And even Luffy. Except they were dressed differenly, and looked slightly more gruff.
"Oy, Captain...." the Zoro clone said quietly, "Why are.... these people us?"
"I don't know Rozo...." Iful replied. "But it seems they're here for a fight. So let's give 'em one! Jisan! Attack that clone of yours!"
"Right, captain!"
Jisan charged, outstretching his leg.
"Neck Blaster!!"
The blow hit Sanji hard, but he held his ground.
"Epaule!!!"
Sanji's attack slammed into Jisan's shoulder, but he didn't move hardly at all. Both jumped back, and panted softly.
This guy's good....This guy's good....
The fake Sanji charged forward, and leapt with a cry of, "Poitrine Blaster!!!"
Sanji dodged, and replied with, "Anti-Manners Kick Course!!!" He lifted his leg straight up for a moment before bringing it down hard on Jisan, sending him crashing through the deck. With a smirk, he mused, "He was a bit tough.... But I've had tougher."
The swordsman growled, and charged forward, drawing two of his blades.... which were met by Zoro's three swords.
"If it's a fight you want...." growled Zoro, "Then fight ME."
"Stop!!"
Everyone turned, to see Luffy shake his head - "No. We don't want to fight."
Iful laughed loudly. "Hee-hee-hee!! What, afraid of me? Not surprising.... I have a 45,000,000 Belli bounty on my head!!"
Plainly, Luffy stated, "I have a 100,000,000 Belli bounty on mine."
The enemy crew recoiled at the revelation, giving Luffy just enough time to lift his leg back.
"Gomu Gomu.... Whip!!!"
His leg sprang forward, knocking the enemy crew down to the ground. They all seemed to be in shock at his leg stretching.... but not for the normal reason.
"I see.... The Gomu Gomu Devil Fruit."
Outstretching his hand, Iful shouted, "Gomu Gomu Shotgun!!!"
And his hand stretched forward, slamming into Luffy's face.
"Luffy!" "Luffy!" "Luffy!" his crew cried, seeing him fall overboard. Iful smirked wickedly.
"And that means I'll add a hefty amount to my bounty.... Hee-hee-hee!!!"
"Gomu Gomu...."
"Wh-What?!"
"Spear!!!"
Luffy's legs burst out from under the deck, spearing Iful high into the air. Grappling onto the captain with both legs, Luffy called out, "Gomu Gomu...."
"Grand Gavel!!"
Iful was slammed down onto the deck, shattering some of the nearby planks. Heaving slightly, Luffy gave his trademark grin.
"I kicked my way inside.... and burst up like a spear! How d'ya like that?"
A light laugh could be heard from Iful, as he picked himself up from the deck.
"Marvelous.... Your skills are truly top-notch. I don't stand a chance. So.... Binra! Your move!!"
"Contort!!!"
Arms burst out of Luffy's body, and stretched themselves tightly around Luffy. His body was contorted in several directions, and he cried out in pain. Robin stared in mute shock, as Zoro whispered, "Hana Hana.... !!!"
Binra smirked, but was greeted by a small explosion in her face that knocked her backwards. Everyone turned behind them, and looked to see Usopp on the Going Merry, his arm still ready at his slingshot. The arms subsided, and Luffy dashed forward, slugging Iful in the face.
Iful flipped back, and recovered to his feet. Wiping the blood from his face, he chuckled. "Excellent. But without that sharpshooter of yours, you'd be dead by now. But our swordsmen seem to be having a little.... disagreement over who is stronger. Perhaps we should let them finish their 'discussion?'"
Luffy grunted in an affirming tone, and slapped Zoro on the back gently.
"Don't lose. Remember your promise."
Zoro's only response was a smile, as he placed the Wadou Ichimonji in his mouth and drew his swords. The fake Zoro, Rozo, sprung forward, and called out, "Nitoryu...."
He flipped his swords backwards, and finished his attack - "Backslash Stab!"
Rozo stabbed his swords forward, which Zoro blocked with two swords, leaning back on one foot.
"Santoryu.... Tou Rou Nagashi!!"
Using one sword, Zoro slashed at Rozo's belly, and, using his foot, flipped behind him and crossed his swords.
"Oni...."
"Giri!!!"
The attack cut through Rozo, as he fell to the ground in a pool of blood. Iful chuckled lightly at first, and then burst into laughter.
Luffy snapped, "What're you laughing at? Your friend got beat."
Pausing from his laughter, Iful choked out, "F-Friend?! You must be joking! He is my servant, my loyal first mate! He's worthless for anything but fighting!!"
A vein popped out in Luffy's head, and in what seemed like half a second, he'd punched Iful half way across the deck.
"Worthless?! You're the one who's worthless. Get up, so I can kick your ass."
