"Ha Austin you suck" my friend Illyas exclaimed.
"I'm sorry. This is my first time playing Ivern" I replied agitatedly. We were playing a game of league of legends and I had just died. That's when I heard the familiar notification that I got an email. "Hang on let me check my email real quick while I respond"
"Wait did you get an email too? Kinda weird coincidence that we got one at the same time. Maybe we got the same email." Illyas questioned
I pulled up my email and my eyes widened when I checked my latest email. "Wtf is this shit." I exclaimed
"what is it austin?" Illyas questioned
"this email is so weird. Its mostly blank page with just the question "do you want to go on a adventure" and a link" austin replied
"Your kidding right?" Illyas questioned incredulously.
"No, why?" Austin replied.
" Because I just got the exact same email" He replied. "Well whatever. It's probably just some scam or virus. Lets just get back to the game" He said dismissively
"Imma open the link" I said flatly. "Why" Illyas replied. " because i'm curious and I wanna spite you" I replied matter o factly. "Well fuck you too. When you get a virus on your computer don't come to me for text support" He replied.
I opened up the email and the strangest thing happened. A image of some mustached guy with a red pirate hat appeared and my phone froze. " what the actual fuck" I said to myself
"I'm guessing that means you opened the link. What happened." illyas inquired
"Well an image of some mustached pirate guy appeared on my phone and my phone froze up" I said worriedly
"Oh that happened to you too didn't it" he replied
"Yeah…...wait WHAT! You opened it too!" i shouted
"I'm sorry. I was curious too… wait a second I think it's saying something" Illyas said as we both listened in on what our phones were saying.
"You young boys off another world. You must protect the future king."
"Future king? What the fu-" I was cut off from whatever it was i was trying to say as my phone suddenly emitted a bright blinding light. I grabbed at my eyes in pain from the light and i'm pretty sure i heard Illyas cry out in pain.
After a couple of minutes the pain went away and my vision cleared up. Except I wasn't in my room anymore. I was in some 19th century market with dozens if not hundreds of people walking around buying and selling various good. I looked to my left and noticed illyas a couple feet away looking around in awe. "What? How? Why?... I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS" he stammered out.
He looked at me clearly panicked and I realized I was gonna have to be the logical and calm one. "Ok ok ok let's be calm and think through this. First lets figure out where we are then well figure how we got here later. Theres seagulls everywhere and I see the masts of a couple of ships in the background so were clearly near the sea. There's a market around us so either were not in america anymore or were in a rural part" Illyas just sat there nodding at my assessment while trying to calm down. "Wait a minute…. MAST?! Ok either this town is having the world's most extravagant renaissance festival or we traveled back in time." I said panickedly.
Before we had time to let that sink in people started moving and clearing a path for some blond teenager who was flanked by two guys holding muskets with white and blue attire with the word marine on their shirt. We just so happened to be in the middle of the path but we were too busy staring at the guy in shock and disbelief. He walked up to us. "Hey buddy is there something wrong with you?" He asked us. We just continued to sit there and stare at him. "I'm starting to get pissed off. If you guys don't get out of my way i'll have my boys shoot you" he said while he pointed at the marines behind him. The marines aimed their guns at us.
I shook my head. "Sorry we were just stroke by how good that suit looks on you and how handsome you are" I responded as I grabbed illyas and pulled him outta the way.
He blushed. "thanks. I guess i'll let you go this time but don't ever get in my way ever again." he said
"did you just hit on Helmeppo" Illyas exclaimed as he burst out laughing. My cheeks stained red as i blushed furiously.
"s-s-s-shut up I had to so he wouldn't shoot us" i defended.
"Whatever you say man. Soooooo apparently were in one piece. What do we do from here" Illyas questioned.
"isn't it obvious my friend. Since we're in shells town there's only ONE thing to do. We help a certain rubber man save a green haired pirate hunter." I said with a smirk.
"of fucking course" Illyas responded with resignation before he turned to the nearest civilian "where's the nearest marine base" he asked kindly before she pointed in the direction that Helmeppo had gone in. Illyas thanked her and we both walked in the direction of the base.
When we arrived at the base we saw that it was in chaos. Apparently we had arrived at the time that Luffy was attacking it and looking for Zoro's swords. "so what now Austin" Illyas asked.
"well we can't do shit without weapons so obviously we raid there armory." I said as I jumped down from the wall and walked into the base with Illyas following close behind me. Due to the chaos of luffy attacking the base there was no one guarding the entrance so we were able to enter the base with little to no trouble. Unfortunately they did have someone guarding the armory.
"Well what the fuck do we do about him" Illyas said about the musket toting marine guarding the armory
"Dont worry ive got this" I said calmly as I stated to walk towards the guard. He noticed me and quickly aimed his musket at me.
"What are you doing here. This is world government property. You're trespassing." he shouted in an authoritative manner while he aimed his musket at me.
"I know" I said flatly as I kept walking towards him. At this point I was only a few feet away from him.
"If you don't leave now i'll have to shoot you" he said and I noticed that he now had his finger on the trigger.
I walked up a couple of feet before a felt the cold feeling of the gun barrel being pressed up against my forehead. "No you won't" I said before I grabbed the barrel of the gun and pulled it and elbowed him in the face stunning him and causing him to lose his grip on the musket. I took the musket and smashed the but of it into his face knock him to the ground. I was about to hit him again before I realized he was out cold. I then used the gun to shoot the lock off of the armory. We walked into the armory to see hundreds of assorted guns knives and swords all over the place. There were even some grenades and cannonballs. Illyas walked up to one sword in particular.
"Is this what I think it is?" he questioned.
"Yes. I believe it is" he grinned and I walked over to a the gun shelf and picked up a couple of guns. "This will do nicely. VERY nicely"
'This has to be the worst day of my life' thought a blonde haired teen by the name of helmeppo. 'First some dumb kid feeds Zoro. Then some straw hat wearing rubber freak broke in and beat up most of the bases men. And now the freak was going toe to toe with my dad. Luckily I managed to take this kid hostage or else daddy coulda lost' "DON'T MOVE OR ELSE I'LL SHOOT THE KID" I shouted out before I felt cold steel being pressed against my head
"No. no you won't." an eerily familiar voice said from behind me. I looked back and saw the kid who hit on me earlier holding a gun flintlock pistol to my head. He and his friend were both armed. He was armed with one flintlock pistol in each hand, two more strapped to his belt, a blunderbuss and and a musket on his back, and two daggers on his belt. His friend was armed with a scimitar in one hand, a dagger in the other and several grenades on his belt.
"Now drop that gun" Austin said and I did just that.
Now that he had stopped the blonde haired ignoramus from doing anything to coby we were about to kickback and watch Zoro and Luffy kick Morgans ass when some random marine decided to try to take our heads off. Luckily Illyas noticed him in time and was able to block the marines sword strike with his scimitar and stab him in the gut with his dagger then kick him to the ground. "Well close" Illyas said.
"Yeah" I responded "sadly because of it we missed Morgan getting his ass kicked.
"Really? I was looking forward to that" Illyas responded in a disappointed tone.
It was then that Luffy and Zoro walked up to us. "Hey thanks for saving coby." luffy said "but who are you guys"
"My names Austin and this guy is Illyas" I said "and we don't have a ride outta here. Can we stick with you for a little while"
"Sure" luffy responded
