Chapter Six
"What's happening? What's wrong with Harry?" Marco heard the young red haired male cry out in fear as he and Ace drew closer, "Is it he going to be alright?"
"I don't know Ron! I told him to wait until we knew for sure what fruits where what," a brown haired young female replied in a panicked tone, both Ace and Marco noticed that the five teenager's never looked away from their friend, "Ginny should be back soon with Madam Promfrey and the Headmaster, maybe Professor Sprout even."
"What sort of fruit tastes like meat?" a nervous brown haired teenager asked causing understanding to hit both Marco and Ace.
'His found and eaten a devil fruit' Ace thought with wide eyes as his boat met the beach 'His suffering from the effects of the devil fruit changing his body.'
Ace quickly jumped out of his boat and onto the soft golden sand through neither he or Marco took any time to take in their surroundings. Ace quickly pulled his boat up onto the beach far enough so it would be safe while Marco transformed into a human and landed on the beach. Making sure to make noise as they ran towards the group of teenagers Marco called out to them as both he and Ace tried to make themselves look as none threatening as possible for pirates. Neither of them knew how this small group would react to seeing two of Whitebeard's top crew members.
"Oi! Is everything alright?" Marco cried out as he and Ace ran the short distance to the group, "We were sailing past when we saw that you were having problems."
Ace put on his best big brother smile and opened his mouth only for his words to be cut off as a bright flash of red light flew past him before disappearing.
"What was that?!" Ace cried out as he turned back around only to find the young teenagers all pointing what looked to be wooden sticks in their direction, "Hey now, we don't mean any harm to you guys! We just want to help."
"Help? How can you help us?" the brown haired female asked as she looked at Ace and Marco with untrusting eyes, "How do we know that you are not like them back there."
"Because we aren't and we know what is wrong with our friend," Marco said calmly as he motioned to the now curled up black haired boy, "We heard you say that he had eaten a fruit that tastes like meat?"
"And if he did what is it to you?" Hermione asked darkly as her hand tightened around her wand, "Why do you care? What does it have to do with you?"
"Because Marco and I have eaten similar fruits ourselves," Ace said calmly as he slowly took the last few steps towards the group and knelt down in the sand next to them, "You do not have to worry as the fruit he eat will not kill him or hurt him, right Marco?"
"Correct, but it will give him certain...new powers," Marco said as he chose his words carefully while keeping an eye out for his brothers and sisters, "Depending on what fruit he ate will depend on what devil fruit he ate."
"He said it tasted like meat," Neville said quietly as he placed a protective hand on Luna's shoulder while Teddy sat quietly in Luna's lap watching, "Are you sure he is going to be alright? We have sent Ginny to get some help but..."
"He should be fine but he will have a lot of learning ahead of him," Marco said as he sent Neville a calming look, "There are more of you guys on this island?"
"Yes, the Nargals told me they and Lady Magic brought us here when we were attacked and in grave danger," Luna said with a mysterious smile on her face causing Marco and Ace to think twice, "You are both our friends, and your crew will be nice too. The Nargals tell me that we will become very close."
"H-How did you know about the rest of our crew?" Ace asked suddenly as his eyes widened in surprise, "Did you see our ship coming towards the island?"
"Nope, the Nargals told me about your crew," Luna answered simply with a smile as she ran a calming hand through Teddy's hair, "I hope you do as the Nargals tell me as I think you and your father would be just what Harry and a few others need here through Harry most of all."
Hermione let out a groan, "Ignore Luna, she can be a bit...weird. If you two both ate the same type of fruit then when will this stop?"
The cheerful atmosphere broke and gave way to a solemn one as everyone fell silent and looked down at the whimpering and moaning Harry. At the sight of the pale and thin black haired teen Ace felt a strange feeling of protectiveness wash over him, it was the same type he felt for Luffy. Somehow even though they had only just met the other black haired teen had wormed his way into Ace's heart.
'Maybe it is the messy black hair or that his eaten a devil fruit' Ace thought as he tried to work out his feelings 'I guess this is what Pops meant when he told us that if we ever find a new brother or sister we would just know.'
With unsure eyes Ace looked up to Marco only to find Marco looking at him with the same expression on his face that Ace had. Both of them agreed that they had just met a possible new brother.
"Look! His calming down!" Ron cried out suddenly capturing everyone's attention.
Harry let out a low moan of pain as if responding to Ron's words before his body suddenly froze and lay unmoving on the soft sand. Biting her lip in uncertainty Hermione reached out to offer some form of comfort while keeping an eye on the two new comers only to freeze half way when a loud cry of pain suddenly burst out of Harry's lips.
'I know those signs' Marco suddenly thought in shock as watched the young teenager's body slowly lose its human shape and turn into an unknown animal 'His eaten the same type of fruit as me! His turning into the animal right now!'
***Meanwhile With Draco In The Hidden Cave***
With power greedy eyes Draco reached out and plucked the glowing fruit off of the plant. As Draco tried to get a closer look at the strange glowing fruit it suddenly stopped glowing much to Draco's frustration.
'The worse that can happen to me is having a mouthful of horrible tasting fruit' Draco thought as he opened up his mouth and raised the fruit up 'For the fruit to glow like that there must be some sort of power in it...power that I can use to make sure that nothing happens again.'
Not wanting to give the power inside the fruit a chance to disappear in case it was somehow linked with the glow Draco finally took a large bite of the fruit only to frown at the strange dirt like texture. Not wanting to give anyone else the chance to find the fruit Draco quickly polished it off while doing his best to ignore the dirt like taste in his mouth.
'I wonder if it will give me powers...it has to have something inside of it for it to glow like that' Draco thought with a frown only to let out a low groan and fall to the ground clutching his stomach in pain 'W-what's going on? Why am I in so much pain for?'
Groaning softly Draco moved his legs slightly and attempted to stand up only to find himself unable to. Frowning Draco looked down around his feet, wondering if there was an animal or plant holding onto him, only to let out a scream of terror.
His feet had turned into rock and slowly but surely the rest of his body slowly turned into rock starting from his feet and working its way up. Before too long Draco was rock from his waist downwards.
"Someone! Anyone!" Draco cried out in fear as his heart pounded madly and his body slowly continued to turn into rock, "HELP ME!"
To Be Continued...
