Logia Luffy: Goro edition
Disclaimer: I do not own One piece. That's so obvious I may as well have said I don't crap gold or live in a marshmallow palace on the moon.
Chapter 4: Heavens above, fires below and one heck of a dog fight
In a space of time far too close for his liking Luffy found himself waking up again. This time he was pleased to find it was not in the lap of a pretty girl but in a warm, soft bed. His body still felt like it was strapped with lead. His brain still swimming slightly in mild delerium.
"Well well. Looks like our patient is up."
He looked to his side, the world quickly becoming sharp and clear. The deep, resonating voice coming from...please let that just be a very efeminate looking man...wearing a very manly pink satin dress aw crap.
Luffy sat up and leaned away from the...woman. Not that she took the subtle hint and reached for him, pressing her rough calloused hands to his brow and wrist.
She hummed in a tone like a mooing bison. "Well your fevers went down." She pulled the covers down from his (to his shock) heavily bandaged chest. "And your wounds aren't bleeding through the raps. For all the people attacked by a Divum senior (1) your in excellent health."
Luffy lowered his head and glanced over himself, the act of which sent horrible pain racing racing up and down a network of freshly stitched scars.
"How is this exi...ecil...good health?"
"By which I mean your the only one whose ever lived through one." She smiled at him.
"..."
'...Maybe I 'do' need to work on my bedside manner.' She shrugged and turned to the door "YOU CAN COME IN NOW! HE'S AWAKE!"
The door to the pastel pink room opened and in walked someone who was definetly a man, probably a man, and definetly a girl. At least the middle one in the group didn't have a lady body, biceps the size of cannonballs and a full grown beard.
The definite man pulled his pinky out of his ear "That you nurse Uterque. Now if you don't mind...?"
"Of course doctor. I still have to give Delim his morning spongebath." With that she left the room, calling off down the hall again in her booming voice for someone to start running the hot water.
The four in the room gave an involentary shudder, especially the one who knew Delim was 116 and very, very hairy. Desperate to rid himself of those thoughts the doctor turned back to Luffy who was still clearly in pain, but none the less asked "And how are you feeling today?"
"Good I guess." He grinned through the agony,
The man smiled back. Pushing the boy back down to the bed gently as can be with but a single finger. "Well thats good, especially for someone whose been unconcious for three days. You gave us quite a shock when Pagaya burst through the hospital doors." He motioned to the man with two hair anteanas and mouth completly hidden by a small curly beard, the girl who walked in with them was hiding behind his legs peeking out ust enough he could make out a familiar eye and bobbing blond ball.
The adults smiled at the girl shying away from the boy who days before she had saved. Her face pink with embarressment.
"Now that your feeling better. I was hoping you could help us." The doctor said and sat down in a nearby chair. Pagaya tried to as well but his daughter did not want to get rid of her cover and latched firmly onto his legs foricng him to remain as is.
"Questions?" Luffy trembled. He hated questions, especially the ones they asked in school. He never got any right and they made him stand in a corner with a stupid hat when he he failed
"Just a few." The medic ignored the horror on his patients face and opened up small pad. "First would you tell us your name?"
They always started with the name "Luffy." He answered curtly.
"Good good." He murmured and jotted it down. "Next, do you remember how you got here?"
The child looked at him for a second "Well that...lady said I got attacked by something and was brought here by him." He pointed at the wooly bearded Pagaya.
"No my boy. I meant do you remember the attack? How you survived?"
He tried to answer, but his mind drew the needed information like Rukia Kuchki drew anything. He shook his head.
The adults looked at each other concerd "What about how you came here? Your far too young to have came to our lands by yourself."
He shook his head again.
Now the doctor was really worried "Luffy, do you remember anything before you came here! Anything at all besides your name?"
He waited a moment, then shook his head again. Tears collecting in his eyes.
The man dropped the pad to the floor with a clatter. This complicated matters.
Present day.
"GENKOTSU DAN!" (2)
Men keeled over in their vain attempts to try and stop their hero when bullets tore through them with far greater strength than even a rifle could manage.
Garp held his former admirers and pupils at bay easy enough. His left hand full of buckshot and his left had the tip of his thumb under his index.
"COME ON YOU LAY ABOUTS! CAN'T YOU STOP ONE OLD MAN? YOUR A DISGRACE TO YOUR UNIFORMS!" He yelled with a wide smile on his lips. Behind him Ace was crouching, the seastone manacles on his wrists.
"Gramps we need the key! I can't fight without my powers" He said dodging a sword swipe and kicking the attacker in the face.
The older man looked back with a hurt expresion and Teeth grinding together audibly "What! Who do you think your whining to? You didn't have any stupid fruit powers when I taught you to fight idiot! Relying on devil fruit makes you weak!" He said...right before he was buried up too his head in molten magma.
"OLD MAN!" He...once again...yelled just before dodging out of the way, this time by a sloppy red leg.
"Unforgivable!" The red dog said with rage written over his face. "Thousands of marines all across the globe admired him, joined the path of the just because of him! He was one of the greatest of us! But because of you, you Rogers MISTAKE he turned his back on the world! " Lava ran down his shoulder and covered his right arm, growing to massive proportions. "Forget all this needless ceremony! I'll end you like you deserve! Cowering LIKE THE MONGROL YOU ARE!" He drew back his gigantic fist and brought it down on the unpowered Aces head.
Right before the fist made contact Ace found it sailing past his head along with the universally despised red dog. Crashing into the wall. He wondered what could have possibly done that until he saw it.
A leg, sticking out of the cooling molten rock.
Before he could even mouth bewilderment the mound of rock exploded in all directions. Showering nearby combatents in seering hot rock and revealing a completly unmelted Monkey D Garp.
"Ahhh" He sound relieved, rubbing his shoulders and smiling much more pleasently than usual "Thanks mutt. Hot rocks are just what these old joints needed."
Wasting no time he kicked off. Over his adopted grandsons head and into his opponent. Grasping the man firmly by the neck and pulling him out.
Akainu gasped, everything below his neck rapidly covering with lava in an attempt to dislodge the old man, to his shock the only thing he got was a sneer "Impossible. You should be ash!" A river of red shot ut of him like a blazing mudslide. Doing nothing more than pushing Garp back with the torrents force.
"WHY WON'T YOU BURN!" He screamed, not bellowed, not yelled but screamed. Flinging his fists foward over and over like a rookie boxer. Each jab at the air throwing a blazing fist at Rogers naval rival. Each volley was didged much to a nearby mairne and the ocassional pirates ultimate horror, or shrugged off by the man who had went toe to toe with giants. Drawing ever closer until he was again in front of Akainu.
"MEIGO" His blazing red hand shot foward in a knife strike, he might be able to handle the fire but an explosion from the inside was another story. However Garp was moving at Soru speeds before Sakazuki could run a mile. Catching the hand effortlessly, sneering at the shock of the admiral while pulling the arm up, his hand not incinirating, not even turning red.
"How! Not even haki can protect you from the my heat. Why aren't you dead!" He growled. The previously mentioned haki Garp used preventing him from melting his arm out of the mans grasp.
"You call this heat mutt? Your magma is practically frozen compared to the flames I've felt ."
"Hotter than mine? What could possibly be hotter than ME!" He tried plain old punching with his other hand, only to get belted in the face himself and sent skidding back into a throng of his own men.
"Let me show you." Garp said stoically. Then, in front of the eyes of countless pirates, marines, and the entire tv watching world. Monkey D Garp ceased to be Monkey D Garp.
Ace fell back when the man exploded into dark purple flame. Gouts of dark fire bathing him, changing him.
The towering flame grew wider and wider as the form inside expanded dramatically. The flames reaching higher and higher until the blaze reached the height of John giant and the circumferance of Oars prominant stomach.
The flame flickered, the yelling of an enraged man on a mission turning gutteral. Whatever was inside now was in great pain. Bone snapping like twigs underfoot wrang out as clear as bells across marineford. Even the armys of hevean and their god stopped to watch what drew everyone elses attention.
The black inferno lasted no more than a minute, but when it stopped. When the flame flickered out like the blowing of a match, the revalation would stay with all who witnessed it forever.
It no more than two or three heads shorter than a giant but bulged with more muscle under it's white matted fur than any one of them. Running a pointed tongue over it dozens of it's rapier sharp alligator teeth while looking down at the horrified Akainu. Drk red eyes narrowing in delight at the fear, distorting the scar under his left eye and tugging the two foot long (equivelent) curled horns on it's head.
Garp stepped foward, gutterally snickering when his quarry took one back.
"Inu inu no mi, Model Hellhound!" He growled out in a demonic growl. Then with a slight crouch he lunged foward. Intent to show more than one cocky brat today a lesson about playing with fire.
End chapter
Sorry I did so little on Luffy's back story this chapter but I couldn't leave this alone. I saw an awesome picture of a hellhound Garp on deviant art and I just had to use it. The one who drew it was an out and out genius. I give full credit for this inspiration to 'Jerryabistado' on DA.
I know Garp is awesome, even more so when you consider that he probably doesn't have a devil fruit power which means he gained his rank on his own merit, however the idea of him having some greater than average power was just to good to pass up.
Does his 'mythical' form have powers? Of course. Will you see them in action? Of course, however this isn't just his story. It's about a boy rising to become a god of winged people. The action may drift to other participents now and then to keep the action fresh but it's still about him.
Until next time, I'm Wolvenstrom wishing you good health, good life, and good luck if you expect an update anytime soon. HA HA HA HA HA...I'm serious, don't hold your breath.
Divum sEnior= Sky Lord. Like sea king but in the clouds.
Genkotsu dan =Iron fist bullet. He can throw cannonballs harder than actual cannons, so I figure he can fire bullets harder than actual guns.
P.s As usual forgive my grammer. Too lazy to go over it properly myself without a working spellcheck.
