Hey all and welcome to my first story here! After just discovering One Piece fan fiction, I decided that I would write some stories of my own. Just as a note, I will only be making a few stories with Luffy and the rest of the strawhats. I want to create my own story within the One Piece Universe. Anyways here is 'The Secret At Raftel' please enjoy.
As the dust settled, the shadow of a man stood panting, exhausted. Blood dripped down from his mouth and fists dropping onto the ground like drops of rain. The hundreds of people, the pirates and the marines, stood still in awe. Eight of the battle worn people slowly advanced to the man in the dust.
"Is it over Captain?" The man slowly turned towards the voice, he smiled.
"Shishishishishi I did it guys I won!" He raised his arms in triumph, but he was too exhausted and started to fall backwards.
"Luffy!" The eight screamed in unison as the rushed to their captain. Lying on the floor covered in blood there was another body across from them, the man started spitting up blood.
"Strawhat may of got me good, but I returned the favour now neither of us can be the pirate king. Zehahahahaha" he laughed as he spat up blood over his beard, laughing til his last breath. Zoro drew his blade and walked towards Blackbeards body, his rage boiling, so much so anyone close by felt a shiver of fear running down their back. Sanji, Usopp, and Franky rushed to hold him back.
"He's dead now Zoro, theres no point." Usopp screamed tears running town his face. Zoro stopping still he looked back at Luffy, covered in blood he started sobbing. Chopper was trying to stop the bleeding, but it was too late. Luffy was dying and would be taking his last breath very soon.
"I cant do anything, he's going to die!" Chopper manically screamed. The whole crew started to cry, screaming Luffy's name.
"Where's Law he could help! He's a miracle doctor!" Sanji screamed. "Law! Where are you?" Nami just shook her head.
"He's dead Sanji, Kizaru killed him." They were so close, they reached Raftel along with the Strawhat Alliance, the remaining Whitebeard pirates, the supernovas, Blackbeards pirate fleet, and the Marines led by fleet admiral Akainu. The battle for Raftel had begun, the battle for One Piece, and the battle for the title of pirate king. The battle was on such a scale the world had never seen, so much destruction, so much blood. So many dead. Blackbeard had reached Raftel first and destroyed half of the Marines fleet with a earthquake. Through the battle though it became a psudo alliance against Blackbeard as everyone knew, he was too dangerous to let live. Nobody could stop him though as he held back the alliance basically by himself. As everyone was losing hope of defeating him. The Straw Hats arrived with their fleet. The tide of battle turned the psudo alliance broke however as the Marines considered the Straw Hats as equally dangerous as Blackbeard and split their forces to take both targets out. Luffy ignored it all and just yelled at Blackbeard how he was going to kick his ass and become the pirate king. Now though both of them are down, no one could move after watching a fight of such magnitude. Akainu clutching his side bleeding, stood up, anger in his face, then he let out a sigh.
"Marines!" he paused. "Retreat." The marines picked up their dead, their injured and turned to leave. Everyone was in shock at this, Akainu retreating? It was unheard of. Some of the remaining pirates saw this as a oppurtunity.
"Kill the straw hats and lets take One Piece for ourselves!" One captain shouted, but was impaled by a giant metal hand. Eustass Kid battered and bloody slowly walked over to the Straw Hats. Zoro had his hand on his katanas, Sanji stood up ready to fight, along with a shivering Usopp. Eustass stopped.
"This war is over. The fight for One Piece is done, and the pirate king has been crowned." He loudly declared.
"What and who's that you? Over my dead body Kid!" One of the pirate captains exclaimed.
"No! Straw Hat Luffy is the Pirate King, and his crew are the ones who can claim One Piece. As much as I hate to admit it, theres no one else it should go to. I know some of you think the same way." Eustass angrily shouted. Marco appeared and shouted his own agreement, and stated that if anyone touches the Straw Hats there will be hell to pay. Zoro wiped his tears and stood up.
"There is no Straw Hats anymore. Not without Luffy, and he will be gone soon. Luffy wouldnt want the adventure to One Piece being stopped because of him. He would of just got angry and claimed you should do what you want." The crowd fell silent.
"Not so fast young one." Silver Rayleigh shouted, appearing from the rabble. One of his arms missing and his white hair dyed with red. "Pick him up and follow me. There's still a chance."
