(Sec 9) * * * * *
Later that night, Luffy decided to just sit in a tree and look at the stars, while the rest of he crew were around a campfire nearby the tree below him. As he looked, he thought he saw something strange.
"Hey, Usopp!"
"Yeah?"
"Look strait to where I'm pointing!"
"Okay..." Usopp said while putting on his goggles
"Do you see anything?"
"Nope. Must be your mind playing tricks on you."
But Luffy kept on looking. What he saw was what looked like a Black whirlpool on its side, and what looked like a ship, but it disappeared. A little later, Luffy thought he saw it again, but ignored it.
Usopp was on first Lookout that night while the rest of the crew slept. Since it was such a nice night, he laid back and looked at the stars. Then, out of nowhere, there seemed to be a Dark Whirlpool...in the sky? Usopp put on his goggles again and took a close look. He saw a giant metal ship, with 6 large cannons on the front, and 8 swirling propellers in the back. The ship was heading right for them!
"WAKE UP!" Usopp yelled into a megaphone, "LEVEL 10 Alert!"
"What's going on?" Franky said, being the first on deck.
"There's a Giant Ship Heading Right For Us! We Gotta Move!"
Nami stepped out on Deck and looked at how fast the other ship was going.
"We don't have enough Time! LUFFY! Get Out Here!"
"Huh, what's wrong?" said a drowsy Luffy, "Navy Ships?"
"Maybe! But we gotta Move! Get out and get this ship in the Water!"
But it was too late.
(Sec 10) * * * * *
The Delphinus suddenly stopped, sending Vyse flying through the air, and crashing into a nearby tree. After a couple of minutes, he woke up and looked around. He wasn't too badly hurt, just a little sore, with a big headache.
(Sec 11) * * * * *
Luffy and the rest of the Straw Hats, all on deck now from all the commotion, just stared in awe of the Ship just floating there, unaware of what just happened to the person who had just flew from the ship's bridge. Luffy ran over to the side of the ship where the ship was hovering and looked down, seeing a strange man in the shadows, suddenly disappearing.
"HEY! There was a guy down there," Luffy said as he jumped over the side, "GET BACK HERE!"
"LUFFY," Nami said, "where are you going?"
Luffy was hot on the trail of the strange man, when he just disappeared into thin air. Luffy then heard a moan.
"ahh, my head," said a boy, about Luffy's age, "Where am I?"
"You're on an island," Luffy said.
"I can see that. My name is Vyse, yours?"
"I am Monkey D. Luffy. Pleased to meet cha!"
"D.?" Vyse said quietly to himself, before remembering what just happened, "MY SHIP! Quick, did you see a Large Metal Ship!?"
"Huh? Oh Yeah! It nearly crashed into mine."
"Where is it!?"
"This way...or was it that way?"
"You don't know?" Vyse said with a disappointed look on his face.
"Well I was chasing some guy that was right in the middle of our ships, so I wasn't paying attention to where I was going."
"There you are," Usopp said while coming through some bushes, "Luffy, the crew is waiting for you to see what's on that floating ship...who's this guy?"
"The Name's Vyse, Yours?"
"I am the Great Captain Usopp! Fearless Leader of the Great and Feared Straw Hat Pirates!"
"I see. I am Vyse, King of the Blue Rouge Pirates, and Legendary Hero of the Skies of Arcadia."
"Arcadia? What's that?" Luffy asked.
"I'll explain later, I need to get back to my crew and see if everyone is alright. Which way to the ships?"
"Strait that way," Usopp said, pointing in the opposite direction he just came from.
"Thanks," and with that, Vyse disappeared.
"Hey, wait up!" Luffy said, running after Vyse.
"Don't leave me here alone!" Usopp said, running after both of them.
Vyse had gotten back to the ships, Jumped onto the Straw Hat Deck, and with another mighty jump, lept onto the the Deck of the Delphinus, where everyone was ready to go on an adventure.
"VYSE!" Aika said with a big welcoming smile on her face, "we were just about to go looking for you!"
"Well, I'm back now, but we got a crew to meet."
"What are you talking about?" Fina asked.
"There was another ship that we nearly crashed into. They call themselves the Straw Hat Pirates, and one of them is Monkey D. Luffy."
"D.?" Aika questioned, "You think he knows that Jones guy that got us here?"
"It's a possibility"
On the Golden Sunny...
"Luffy, who was that guy that just jumped on our ship?" Nami asked.
"He was the Captain of that ship there," Luffy said, pointing to the Delphinus.
"Anything else you know about him?"
"His name is Vyse, and he seems really cool."
"Well, That's useful."
"Hey, Captain!" Vyse said from over the deck of the Delphinus. Luffy and Usopp looked up. "Is it alright if me and my crew came down?"
"Sure, but why ask?" Luffy said.
"I thought Usopp was the Captain."
"He says that, but I'm the Captain Here."
"Okay," Vyse said, a little confused, "anyway, we just didn't want you guys to think we were attacking and cause an unnecessary fight. Come On, Guys!"
and with that, Vyse, Aika, Fina, and the The World Leaders came down.
"The Rest of you, see if you can get the ship back into proper working order."
"Eye, Eye, Captain!" and the Blue Rouges got to work.
"So, How does your ship fly?" Franky asked Vyse.
"One thing at a time, big guy," Vyse said, "First are Introductions."
"Of Course! Where are my manners."
and the crews were introduced to each other.
"Alright...now can you tell me how your ship flies?" Franky asked with a big grin on his face.
"Sure, but how do you get around the skies with a ship that can't fly?"
"What?" Franky asked confused, "The skies? There's nothing but water to sail on down here."
"There was a place in the sky you could sail," said Nami, remembering her trip with the crew to Skipia, "and we only know of One Flying Ship made of gold."
"Well, this is going to take a while to explain," said Vyse, his mind running ragged to make sure he remembered all of his adventures.
"Oh, I can help clear things up," said Jones D. Davy, appearing out of nowhere.
"You!" Vyse said, taking out his Sky Fang Blades, ready to charge at the one who caused all this trouble.
"Yes, me," he said with a smile.
"Who are you, now?" Robin asked.
"The name be Jones D. Davy. Be a pleasure to meet you all," Davy looking over at Robin, "Such Beauty! It's been a long while since I've seen such a woman."
"Back off you creep!" Sanji said, jumping over to give the man a kick.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you," and with that, Davy put his hand into the position Silver Fox Foxy put his hands before attacking, "Copy Copy, Noro Noro Beam!" and Sanji was suddenly slowed.
"Oh, You again!?" Luffy said, stretching his arms back for an attack.
"You Know this guy?" Aika said confused.
"Silver Fox Foxy," Chopper said, "He challenged us to a Davy Back Fight for some of our crew members. We didn't lose anybody, but he was really sore about losing his flag."
"Now I'm really confused," Fina stated, "and why are his arms stretching that far back?" Taking notice to Luffy.
"Gum Gum, BAZOOKA!" and Luffy started his attack, "Copy Copy, Chop Chop, FESTIVAL!"
and Davy split into pieces, dodging Luffy's attack.
"Bu-Bu-BUGGY THE CLOWN!?" Usopp screamed, "But isn't he Silver Fox Foxy?"
"Copy Copy, ICE AGE!"
"Not Again!" Zoro said, jumping into the air to avoid his feet from freezing to the ground.
"Copy Copy, GUM GUM, Hook Shot!"
"What?" as Zoro turned around to see Davy grabbing him and slamming him into the deck, where he was stuck to the ground.
"Now, if you're all done trying to hit me..."
"Strong RIGHT!" Franky said as he threw his right fist through the air.
"What is Wrong with this place!?" Vyse said, thoroughly confused and surprised at what was going on.
Davy dodged Franky's punch, and grabbed the chain the was connected to his arm and threw him overboard into the sand of the beach below.
"Anyone else?"
"Usopp, Super Firebird Star!" and with his shot, melted all the ice that held down his fellow crew members.
"Rumble! Quick Point!" Chopper Charged Davy, "Arm Point!"
"ENOUGH!" Davy yelled, "Shape Shift, Kuro Claws! Copy Copy, Cat Out of the Bag Attack" and with that, Davy disappeared, using the back of his bladed hands, knocked everyone to the ground, not cutting a single one of them.
"Now, you have had your fun, but I'm just here to explain things, if that is alright."
"It's more then alright," Robin said, crossing her arms the way usually does for attacks, "12 Fleur, HOLD!"
and Davy was Captured, 4 hands over his mouth, 2 on his legs, and 2 on each arm, to hold him down.
"We just don't want you attacking anyone anymore," after a minute she took off the 4 hands on his mouth.
"Heh Heh Heh Heh," Davy chuckled, "First time someone caught me. Congratulations, lass, you did a fine job. I promise I won't hurt anyone if you let me up now."
"Very well." Robin said, putting her arms down to let the man up.
"Now, Vyse, if you wouldn't mind putting your swords away."
"grr," Vyse said to himself, not wanting to let his guard down.
After everyone was comfortable sitting on the ship, Davy started his explanation.
"Alright, where should I start...? I Know! Lets start from when I was born!"
"Does that have ANYTHING to do with us being here now?" Vyse asked impatiently.
"Yes it does, now shut yur yap so as I can tell the story. Now, I should actually start with my Grandfather. He Founded where Louge Town is today."
"Louge Town?" Aika questioned.
"SHUT IT! It will all be cleared when I finish. Another word and you're gonna have to find everything out on your own. Now stop interrupting me!"
"Now, My Grandfather Founded the Land where Louge Town is today. My father was about 25 at the time, and my mother was pregnant with me and my two brothers. About 2 weeks after Louge Town was done with construction, me and my brothers were born. Now you all know me as Jones D. Davy. My Brothers were Roger D. Jolly, and Gol D. Roger."
Luffy Gasped, But Zoro shut him up before he could say anything.
"Now, the D. in our name stands for Daccat...You can let it out now."
"Gold Roger!?" Luffy, unable to keep in his excitement.
"Daccat!?" Vyse, almost unable to believe what he just heard.
"Alright, now let me finish the story. Our Grandfather was a Magic Man, Not Devil Fruit Powered. He was able to used the magic of the world's 8 moons to create a potion so that the three of us were practically Immortal. The only way we can die, is by the sword. This went as well for my Grandfather and my Parents, as they, too, drank this potion. Now as the three of us grew, my brothers had grown fond of pirates, and wanted to become the best pirate in the world. I was more focused on following my Grandfather's Footsteps. I had started Learning the different abilities of each moon. I learned Healing from the Green Moon, Fire from the Red, Wind and Water with the Blue, Ice with Purple, Lightning with Yellow, Life and Death with the Silver Moon, Chaos and Order from the Black Moon, and Peace and War with the White Moon."
"That sounds a lot like the six moons of Arcadia," Fina said, "Except for Black and White."
"Very good. You see, there was one who wanted to use all the power of this world, but that's getting a little far ahead of myself. Now, Jolly and Roger were strong guys, and got there pirate careers started early. They decided that, since they were practically immortal, they went under different names for a while, like Long John Silver, Boot Strap Bill and other Famous Pirates. The World Government was constantly trying to capture them, but with no luck, so they Hired some guy name Bane to take care of them by any means necessary. Well, plan after plan failed, so the guy finally snapped and went to the Great Black Shrine, where they had this weapon, not a gigas, but a powerful weapon."
"I'm seriously confused now," Vyse said.
"sigh...anyone else?"
"Yeah," said everyone else on deck.
"Oi, I though you'd get this. Your worlds were once ONE!"
"Oh..." said everyone still confused.
"How did we get separated then?" Luffy asked.
"Getting there. Now, this guy was going to blow up the Black Moon, and cause all sorts of trouble. Now my brothers may have been pirates, but they acted exactly as you guys do, which would be helping those in danger, Like your time at Alabata, or with you and saving Esperanza from the Armada. They weren't just going to stand back and watch, so they came to me, since I was the most Magic Savvy. The three of us arrived just a moment to late, and Bane had sliced the Black Moon in half, and using some Chaos Magic, created a Black Hole. Roger then started a sword battle against Bane, giving me and Jolly the distraction we needed to go up and stop the Black Hole. It was so massive, it sucked all the Island Skies through in an instant, and took the Green, Red, Blue, Purple, Yellow, and Silver Moons, as well as Half the Black Moon. The only way to close a Black Hole, is if it gets eaten by another one, in other words, canceling each other out. But the problem was, there were two sides of this monstrosity. Before I could object, Jolly said he would close off one side, since Chaos Magic was his specialty, while I closed the Other. After everything was closed up, I went back to help Roger, who let Bane get away. We both knew there was no way we could get Jolly back, so we continued as we normally did. All the technology of the sky was gone, just leaving what we had on the ground. That was almost 3,000 years ago."
"WHAT!?" said everybody on deck.
"I told you, I can only die by a sword in the chest, so that hasn't happened yet. It shouldn't be that big a surprise."
"That still doesn't explain how you ended up in Arcadia." Vyse stated.
"Well, I've been alive for over 3,000 years. Here in the Grand Line, I've come across a few Devil Fruit."
"What are those?" Aika asked.
"Oi. Give me a sec." Davy closed his eyes, and then his fingers stretched and reached into everyones head before they could react. A couple minutes later, he went back to his normal self. "THERE! I just made it so you all understand each other. People from Arcadia know all about this world, wile the Straw Hats know all about Arcadia. Happy!?"
"That does clear up a few things," Robin said.
"Now, Over my lifetime, I've come across 3 Devil Fruit. The Shape Shift Fruit, something like the Clone Clone, but not as restricted. The Copy Copy Fruit, allowing my to copy other abilities, as I've demonstrated earlier. And the Knowledge Knowledge Fruit, allowing me to know anything I want, which is quite difficult to control from time to time. With the Power of the Dark Dark Fruit, I was able to create a Black Hole that I could use to go back and forth between worlds. I tried to bring back Jolly, but he had changed his name, making it a little harder to find him. He decided to take on the name Daccat, liking that much more then Jolly. He also decided to stay in what the people now called Arcadia, to be the best Pirate of that world, while Roger became the best in ours. About 50 years ago, he died by the sword and was buried at what is known as the Pirate's Grave."
"That's the Grave of the great Daccat?" Vyse said, seeing as he was the one who found it.
"Yup. I buried him when I found his body, and got his treasure map back from the man who killed him. I tore his treasure map in half and threw the pieces into the wind, knowing where they would eventually end up. About 20 years ago, Roger said he had reached his peak, and wanted to do one last thing before he got himself killed. He wouldn't tell me what it was, but he wanted me to turn him in to the World Government and collect the reward on his head, and I wasn't one to refuse serious requests like this. Using the Invisibility Power, I stood behind Roger before he was executed. His Final words were 'My Treasure is yours for the taking, but you'll have to find it first. I left everything I know in One Piece.' and then they killed him. Of course, I couldn't hold in my laughter at what he just did. It's the funniest thing I ever saw, sending this world into a Grand Age of Pirates. And watching the towns people freak out didn't help much. So Anyway, the point is, their spirits are still around, waiting for their last wishes to be fulfilled"
"Wait a minute," Vyse said, "We already found Daccat's Treasure. It was a single gold coin."
"Yeah...about that, I took it all, gave it to Roger, and left that note," Davy said, beginning to laugh, "But the Looks on your faces were Priceless!" and Davey started Busting out in Laughter.
"Ha ha, very funny," Aika said, a little peeved she could've gotten more treasure.
"But, the OTHER reason I took all of Daccat's Treasure, was because I gave both him an Roger to put an inscription on the wall, so they can at least congratulate the people who found their Treasure. Daccat never listened to me, so he didn't have one at the final Resting Spot of his Treasure Collection. Roger on the other hand, did. So whoever finds Roger's Treasure, will get to meet both him and Daccat."
"So THAT'S why you brought us here," Vyse said, now less confused.
"Exactly. The very Essence of you and Luffy's Souls match that of Daccat and Roger, making you both the perfect people to find One Piece."
"That is so COOL!" Luffy said with excitement.
"Now then, it's convenient that you brought the Four World Leaders of Arcadia here, Vyse."
"And why is that convenient?" Enrique asked.
"Because, now we can get you to meet with the World Government and get you and your countries back on the King's Comity"
"The King's Comity?" Rupee asked.
"It's something the Kings of the world go to every now and then to try and solve a crisis, like how to deal with pirates and such. I hate the World Government, but this was one of their better ideas."
"So, will you be escorting us?" Domingo asked.
"Well, since you don't know where it's at, I have to."
"But what about our people?" said King Ixa'Taka.
"Your World is fine. Nobody knows of what has happened, since Time is Frozen until I bring them here."
"How does that work?" Fina asked.
"I'm a very powerful man. I don't want two worlds completely freaking out and causing a huge world war, so I'll give the World Government and the Leaders here a week to spread the word of the joining. Now, we'll take my ship. Vyse, it'd be best for you and your crew to stay here. The World Government doesn't like Pirates."
"I Understand"
So Davy got the Arcadian Leaders on his ship and sailed toward the World Government headquarters, leaving the two pirate crews to talk.
(Sec 12) * * * * *
"Alright," Vyse started, after a small silence, "He may have told us about each other worlds, but we don't know much about each other."
"Well, who should start?" Robin asked.
"Vyse is a guest here," Luffy started, "at least until that guy brings the rest of his world here. So he should go first."
"Really? Alright," Vyse took a deep breath, "It all started on my Home Island, Pirate Isle..."
A few hours later, after making sure he covered all of his adventures, the Straw Hats stood in awe of the accomplishments that Vyse and his crew had done.
"You certainly have lived full lives," stated Robin.
"Yes we have," Aika said with a smile, "and we hope to have more in the future."
"I guess it's your turn to tell us your adventures," Fina said, curious of how eventful the Straw Hat's Voyage has been.
"Well, 10 years ago, I was hanging out with the Red Haired Pirates and their Captain Shanks..."
A few hours later, after the crew explained their different adventures, it was the Blue Rouges turn to stand in awe, still taking in all of the strange stuff this world had to offer. The sunrise had started, bathing the two crews in light.
"This world is AWESOME!" Vyse said, already looking forward to adventure.
"Yours sounds Fun, too" Luffy said with his usual goofy grin.
"Captain!" said Hans from the Delphinus Deck, "Everything is back in Order. We're ready to Fly."
"Good work! Go ahead and land the ship, we're going to stay here a while."
"Eye, Eye!"
"I'm going to get breakfast started, how many in your crew?" Sanji Asked.
"Well, there's fourteen of us now, since Davey took the World Leaders and their men."
"Cooking for twenty-two, eh? I'll get started."
"Not so fast. Our cook LOVES looking at dishes from other lands and preparing them. URALA! Can you come down?"
"eye, eye," Urala said quietly, taking a rope ladder down, "What would you like me to do captain?"
"Would you like to cook breakfast with our new friend's cook?"
"Oh, that would be great!" she said with a little smile on her face.
"The kitchen is right this way, my sweet," Sanji said with a heart in his eye.
"So," Aika started, "Would you like to give us a tour of your lovely ship?"
"You bet! That'd be SUPER!" Franky said, going into his usual stance.
(Sec 13) * * * * *
Over the Horizon, on the North side of the island, a ship started approaching. Standing at the front was a Man with a Big Red Nose, wearing an Orange Captain's Coat. He looked through his eyeglass, looking toward the island's west side and said, "I've Finally found you, Monkey D. Luffy. This time, I'm really gonna make a Monkey out of you," apparently not noticing the Delphinus, "MEN! Start up a Party, we're going to strike the Straw Hats at Midnight!"
"Hooray for our Great Captain Buggy!" said the Buggy Pirate Crew.
(Sec 14) * * * * *
On the opposite Horizon, A man wearing Black Cat Ears was looking from the crows nest of his ship, looking at the distant island. When he looked at the island's west side, we saw the Straw Hat's ship, as well as a strange Metal Ship. Surprised at what he found, he climbed down the Mast yelling, "Captain! CAPTAIN!" Barging into the Captain's Quarters, with the captain looking out the window. "Captain Kuro, sir! The island we're heading towards is where the Straw Hat Pirates are at. There is also a Large Metal ship I've never seen before. What is your plan?"
Captain Kuro looked over to his crew member. "Get to the Opposite side of the Island from where they are, and keep out of site. The people on that Metal ship are of no threat. It's probably the Navy. The Straw Hats will deal with them. I will exact my Revenge of those cursed Straw Hat's at Midnight, where they should still be weak from their battle."
