I know I have the Galaxy Pirates story to work on, but honestly it's been awhile since working on that series. This not only refresh my motivation, but also allow for more prequel story before the first one. So remember that some of these characters are not in fighting capability as of yet, makes more of an origin story if anything.
While I know the Time-skip version are stronger, you also have to remember that before that extra training they put up a good fight against foes beyond their league. The fact that they defeated the most wanted people in East Blue giving Luffy his first bounty higher then three pirate captains of 30 million beris, afterwards entering the grandline where they fought three Warlords(Crocodile, Moriah, and Hawkeye fighting Zoro only), beat, escape and somehow destroy Enies Lobby and CP9. They pretty much achieve what most pirates or anyone that matter could never accomplish on their own.
Plus Luffy's own stunt of entering and breaking out of Impel Down and take part in Whitebeard vs Marines in Marineford. These guys have done things that many would never dream of doing, not to mention that their skills were that good before Haki training with the Monster Trio relying on their instinct against powerful enemies.
As such this will take place 3 years before the first story, this would make them younger before Luffy set out to build his crew. Making their enemies more manageable before the big ones, if it wasn't, I got nothing.
P.S. The next Samurai Jack update is coming, it's more on how the first official battle needs to end.
Disclaimer: I don't own One Piece, kingdom hearts, or anything except OC's.
Every beginning has a end,
Every end has a beginning,
for all those times starting first or last,
There is always a tale to tell,
Questions is, where do we start?
In the Dive to the Heart, five children look fast asleep. These children are from very different lives, but will meet later in life as some higher power is bringing them together. Monkey D. Luffy age 14 want to be King of the Pirates cause of his promise to his ideal Red-Hair Shanks, Roronoa Zoro age 16 who trains to become world's Greatest Swordsman, Nami age 15 dreams of drawing the first world map, Usopp age 14 inspires to be greatest warrior of the seas, Sanji age 16 seeks to find the all blue.
While in the future their destinies will intertwine, they are experience something that's beyond understanding as their hearts are somehow connected. Nami was first to awake as she stood on what appears to be stained-glass pillars with a image of her and others in what appears a pirate crew was form.
"Why is that me? In a pirate crew?" Mostly to herself as she work towards waking the others that seem interest in sleeping then knowing what's going on.
When waking others up it is better to be nice and, "WAKE UP MORONS!" Uh, you know what in this case someone like Nami who is surrounded by idiots as the four sleep for nearly 10 minutes as she tries waking them up is reasonable on her part. Although Usopp only took one kick to his no shine place is what got him up, the others like Sanji after some effort awoke to her voice considering his personality, Luffy and Zoro, not so much.
"(Yawn) Morning already?" Zoro said while drowsy, Luffy was the same until he look around to see random people with him.
Luffy only gave one response to this development,"Who the hell are you guys?"
"That's what I should be asking! And why are we in some random place on, Glass pillars?" Usopp said in his state of panic, in his mid-panic state he notice their standing on some pillar with nothing but darkness as far as they can see.
"Is this some kind of joke?" Zoro mutter to himself making sure his swords are with him.
"And what's with this picture?" Sanji said out loud, seeing some five of them as one crew along with other unrecognized by them.
"Not sure who's sick joke is this, but I want out of this creepy place, right now!" Nami shouted upset by this event away from her village. While Nami and Usopp are having mix feelings about this, Zoro and Sanji felt this place seem familiar and yet strange at the same time. While everyone is distracted, Luffy seem more on trance as if something is trying to hear impossible voices.
You are connect
Startled by the voice, some demand where he/she came from.
Tied by fate of destiny
Looking into the darkness seeing nothing but the abyss.
Future is uncertain, but once change, their is no going back
Suddenly five weapons appear, each station on other sides shape like a star. From their choices their is Dream Sword, Dream Rod, Dream Shield, Dream Bow, and Dream Gauntlets.
Path leads to uncertainty, one path leads to one potential, another leads to self-destruction, chose them carefully.
Seeing there's no choice they all went to one weapon more familiar to themselves, one look at their weapons somehow they knew what to choose.
Sanji choose the Gauntlets as it seem more handy to protect his hands as the chief, once chosen the gauntlets somehow became not only gloves, but also his own boots. Testing his weapons he felt more relax with them not realizing how his kicks felt more power behind them. Usopp while afraid felt more safe using long distance weapon, once he chose the bow he somehow knew their be unlimited arrows. Only question is how much can he shoot from this bow? Nami taking the rod as she knew how handling her own staff feels like, somehow felt very powerful in it. While unsure of it's power she somehow knew it fit her style of combat. Zoro went towards the sword already a swordsman himself, saw how well treated it was handle by whoever made the sword. With few swings measured it's weight, speed, and understanding of it's use by looking at it. Luffy went for the shield feeling that his technique needs work, having a shield sounded good for now. Already imagining some ideas how this shield can be used when put to practice.
You have chosen your weapon
The Shield, power of the guardian, kindness to aid friends, a Shield to repel all.
The Sword, power of the warrior, invincible courage, a sword of terrible destruction.
The Rod, power of the mystic, inner strength, a staff of wonder and ruin.
The Bow, power of the archer, eyes of hawk, friend from afar.
The Gauntlet, power of the brawler, strength of will, a body made of stone.
Are these your choice of weapons?
They nod in agreement, then suddenly black shadows rising from the ground, the five unsure of what these things are half of them prepared for battle.
"W-W-WHAT ARE THOSE THINGS!" Usopp shouted in fear of these monsters. While Nami is not fighting type, the other boys started to attacking them, Zoro made quick work of these monsters along with Sanji using their new weapons in effect. Luffy unable to use his abilities right, using is normal brawling tactics as his shield help cover his one side.
Zoro used his new sword giving him two swords to fight with, while it be preferred to use three swords somehow he manage to make due with it. Sanji fought that his new gear helps cover his hands from getting damage or ruin from his fighting, backing the two up Luffy manage to punch them left, right, and kicking them all over. With the shield Luffy could bash his enemies no problem giving it extra force in his defensive and offensive tactics against these monsters. Nami and Usopp fought back to back as Usopp manage to fight them using his new weapon, surprisingly Usopp has fired more shots then the average archer with some help of using light energy for his ammo. Nami figure out that her staff had some powers of it's own, able to cast fire, blizzard and her favorite thunder attacks on her enemies.
This had gone on for 5 minutes before the heartless decided to give up, once they were defeated another path was open made of glass stairs.
You have proven yourselves worthy of your gifts,
but now the real test begins.
For when you awake, you will no longer be where you once live,
the only path left is through up and straight,
knowing when to waver, to run, walk around, or brave the storm.
Only then will the answers be cleared, and your path is open.
Confused, they walk towards what remaining path is available, the five bravely what towards what maybe their next test.
We will meet again soon, for this was one of many test to come.
In a white room two people are discussing some plans after their boss D'go had just form their group.
"As you know this castle once held Keyblade wielders of many new generations to come, the only reason we found use in this Castle Oblivion is because of it's ability to access memories from people. We then use it to obtain certain worlds plunging them to darkness as we see fit." One man said wearing some advance armor built by combine powers of Magic and science.
He then continued, "With this Castle, we're able to find prefect worlds that have more darkness in them then most, we need 3 billion worlds plunge into darkness for the door to darkness, 6 million sleeping worlds unlock for the final Keyhole, 9 thousand Keyblade Master of Light slayed for the X-Blade, and then 12 princess of heart for the big Kingdom Hearts to reveal itself. It has taken some time, but thanks to this castle the search has been easy, many years have come and gone, we now only need few left in our conquest. If you fail your job D'go will personally but you through the dip where you once died, if not him then me for I'm not taking fall for your incompetence."
The other man, wearing black coat and hat with sunglass over his eyes while walking with a cane as he was left in-charge of this base along with his partner. His name is Judge Doom, taking charge of this place holding secrets unknown to many. Judge Doom along with some other recruits have taken this place as their new base of operations.
"I assure you Feist, that everything is under control. With me in-charge I will slaughter another who tries to take this base and throw them over the abyss if I had too." Judge Doom assured his business partner, considering what their organization member consist he only imagine a lot of them are here for business only. Feist out of all the members is D'go right hand man, doing exactly all his dirty work to hired helper to assassination if need be, with his other abilities in hand making him more dangerous then most members.
"That's you have me and few other working in this base, as you know with the Unversed under my command." Snap of his fingers blue creatures appeared similar to Heartless, powered by negative emotions, "Your own security force will be available at all times. As long as you play nice, then their be no problem."
Doom smiled knowing how powerful this organization is on their own, from what he heard their is about over 200 members that have join this organization. While the exact number is unknown there seems to be certain hierarchy as D'go is obviously the top number 1 while others follow behind.
"Then let us work well together, now new owner of this castle. What's our progress on the world search?" Judge Doom was given a tablet explaining details of their latest information.
"The world search has been progressing well, less then hundred will be needed. The Sleeping Worlds are harder then worlds as they belong in-between realms of Light and Darkness. But with time having no effect it is unknown how many are needed, Keyblade Master and Princess of Heart are more tricky given any girl can have the Princess power and finding the remaining Keyblade masters of Light are almost none to extinct." Feist explain as D'go is already recruiting new members at this moment, one if their latest member name Aizen had just join their ranks. Somehow Judge felt their is more to this mission then he's been told, with little to no forces backing up this castle under their protection.
"So what purpose would this Castle Serve if all is going as plan?" While no can tell how Feist feels with his body armor covering head to toe, Judge knew that he was smiling underneath. Judge got this feeling that whatever they plan would involve later plans in the future.
"You'll find out soon, for now we just need to search for more worlds as we leave the rest to Rei." Mentioning of that thing had got Judge curious, when he heard of Gendo fellow joining them sometime ago, just recent he brought some child name Rei Ayanami with him. Somehow she is able to look for worlds even one's she doesn't know about. Feist then look oblivious around him as something had brought his attention.
"Keep post here, I'm going to check something." Feist went off through portal made of darkness, while that armor freak is busy Judge went off to check some other place hidden only known to him and Feist. In this one room is sealed due to the powers of one being namely, Gabriel who was kidnap by D'go for certain purpose. After entering the room, he shut the doors making sure no one hears them.
"Hello my sweet Angel, how can I make this more confrontable today?" Judge limp over as he got closer inspecting his prize prisoner, he knew that keeping the angel alive was against orders of this organization, but wanted for his own personal reasons.
Now while we are familiar with angels and how they are part of heaven, serving their god as man must one day chose to go heaven or hell at their expire date. However when dealing with other worlds similar but different to earth, some rules and realities are opposite to what we have in mind. The Angel Gabriel is one example of different reality such as she is from a world without god or Satan long dead by the great war between Angels, Fallen Angels, and Devils. As such the Original Heaven and Hell may seem unknown, there is no denying that each world has different ways of handling the afterlife.
Gabriel was quick on this as she remain in this prison cell for who knows how long, having her eat, drink, or sleep like human is no problem considering angels have no need for such things. One thing that can be said is if an angels stays in areas high of hellish powers, demonic presence or high amount of darkness it can effect her well being as angels are never meant to exist in the living world so long. The Castle Oblivion is that exception as it is nether light or dark, but rather a world in between like it never existed.
"I am ok, thanks for asking despite your intentions." While Gabriel answer may seem weird, it was the forgiving nature that prevented her from acting on anger and hatred, as that is not how angels respond to mortal beings. This can be said as humans and other species have abused this forgiveness as their sick minds influence by dark desires gave to many horrible deeds with no regards of others before their death sentence. Judge Doom however is a special case as he is one made by man, but at the same time not a living being like many.
"Splendid, I like to keep my guest comfortable, now... if you can only tell me-"
"I would never tell you, no matter how many times you ask, no mortal is allowed to know the secret of angels or heaven for that matter."
Judge stood in silence as he grew annoyed of this resistance, slapping her face inner rage then shouting, "I grew tired of your defiance, all I simply asked is your secret to how does one mortal become an angel, if not that maybe a fallen angel would be more advice, but that is not my plan." his last sentence in mumbling then out loud. While not many words are spoken, Gabriel knew his intentions, as one ability born an angel, her powers allow one to see through one's good or bad intentions. When first ask of this question it not only surprise her of his question, but a darker and sinister intention from being one serving evil deeds through desire alone. This in mind, she resisted everything thrown at her no matter what he may do, but for how long until her fellow angels recuse her is the question, keeping her faith and hope alive no matter what comes by.
"Why are you doing this, have you suffered enough after your last life. Why must you make other suffer for your own selfish desires, you can still change." Gabriel pleaded as she shed few tears for the helpless soul in front of her.
"Your concern is touching my dear, but I have vision. After my last failed scheme, I was revived by this creature D'go. Who offered me a second chance that I could never have as I took this chance for fulfilling a new purpose in life. He also explained that only beings with regret can be revived from the dead, as it gave substitute for escaping hell itself along with having enough grudge and hatred to live again in this mortal world. And believe me my dear, I had plenty of it." Judge then limp over towards the door disappointed by results once more.
"Don't worry, I'll bring another fun games to play, and soon you will reveal the secrets, and this world, including others out in the stars will belong to me." Judge then closed the door leaving only darkness with no light as Gabriel then prayed for her delivering from evil and stop this sinister plan from flourishing.
When the five of them woke up, they felt that their surrounding was different. First to awake was Usopp who wished that all of it was a dream until...
"YEEEYYYYAAAAHHHHH!" Waking the others up Nami was first to bash his head from that man-scream.
"WHAT THE HELL WITH THAT NOISE! Can't you see some people are trying to-?!" Looking up surprise at what she is seeing along with their surroundings, the other curious on what she is gawking at saw this giant castle in the middle of nowhere nearly over the edge of abyss.
"Wait a minute, your all here, and that wasn't a dream, which means-" Nami came to a terrifying revelation that what their doing right now is all happening and the fact this is beyond what any of them can imagine.
"Hold on, how are we even here, and who are you guys anyway!" Usopp shouted unable to relax from this randomness going around them.
"Don't know, don't care. I say we charge this castle and find out what's going on." Zoro was about to march right at the front entrance until blue monsters started to appear surrounding them.
"The hell? These aren't like the last monsters?" Sanji said out of surprise, before any of them knew what happen, Luffy charge at these creatures using his shield as one battering ram until a bigger monster appeared. This one had bigger gut then his head and limbs as Luffy tank some of it's attack before bash away. Already going to work, Zoro using his new sword to cutting them down using his instant to find where to block or attack. Sanji is doing the same except using kick moves to bash them around, Nami and Usopp without question manage to work better then the rest of them, along with Luffy help them against monsters getting too close for comfort.
The fight lasted for 5 minutes and already they have problems dealing with overwhelming numbers, "Shit, theirs too many of them, we need to go!" Sanji said as he kick some random monster jumping over him.
"Everyone get inside!" Luffy ordered having no trouble following as they felt tired from almost fighting constant threats around them, Zoro and Sanji pushed the big door with their combine might, while the others cover them from behind. After getting the doors open the five ran inside quick, shutting the doors behind them as they manage to escape the monsters. Feeling exhausted, they took a breather which allowed them to rest a bit.
"That inhale was close exhale." Nami felt like dropping, but in this case it was more like she needed her guard up with whatever surprises came next.
"So what we do now?" Getting their oxygen in their lungs, the now dire question is, how they get here?"
I have said this before, if not well I'll say it anyway. I suck at beginning chapters, they usually hard after you actually do the typing, it seem easy at first, but put to practice it feels different. Anyway, this story will help motivate making chapters as much as I soon can. Not every week, but close enough to try at least once a month with this story and others as I can get more in-depth with how Galaxy Pirates along with others will be told.
Next update hopefully soon Samurai Jack battle with Britannia will conclude as fractions will be born and what side will our protagonist take as more secrets are revealed.
