Reptile Pirates' Takeover
Rift Island: Abandoned town
"So anyway, can you tell us how Trigon took over the island in the first place?" Nami asked.
"It started two months ago." Rodney said, and then it dissolves into a flashback.
(Flashback)
The citizens of the Rift Island's town are enjoying a nice peaceful day.
A man is shopping for food, a woman is selling books, and several other citizens are doing their own things.
But then, at the port, a massive galleon docked at the harbor.
Pretty soon, the Reptile Pirates arrived at the town, led by a giant Triceratops.
"No way, that's a Triceratops!" a man said.
"But they're supposed to be extinct." a woman said.
"That's our captain, Lord Trigon! He's the man with the power to turn into a Triceratops!" a member of the Reptile Pirates said.
"Listen, island-dwelling scum." Trigon said. "From now on, this island is under my control. Try to fight back and you'll only make it harder on yourselves. Just surrender peacefully."
The citizens got pitchforks, brooms, rakes, rolling pins, etc. to defend themselves against the Reptile Pirates.
"We refuse. This is or island. We're not surrendering without a fight. We'll defend ourselves no matter what!" a man said.
"Sigh. Why must you make things so difficult?" Trigon asked. "Attack!"
(Pause flashback)
"Woah, so this place was attacked by a group of pirates led by someone with the power with the power to turn into an ancient creature too." Carrot said.
"What? Do you also know a place that faced a similar situation to ours?" Rodney asked.
"Yeah, Pedro and I come from an island known as Zou." Carrot replied. "Half a month ago, Zou was raided, led by a man named Jack, who could turn into a mammoth, fortunately though, Jack and his underlings were driven off."
(Resume flashback)
The citizens manage to hold off Trigon's underlings, but Trigon easily knocks away the people.
"You fools, you were sadly mistaken to think you could best me." Trigon said.
(Pause flashback)
"And although reinforcements arrived, they were still no match for Trigon." Madeline said.
(Resume flashback)
At another port, a galleon that was slightly smaller than the Reptile Pirates' ship docked.
The pirates aboard the ship headed into the island, where the people were fighting Trigon.
"Hooray! It's the Rift Pirates, the guardians of our island!" a woman said.
The Rift Pirates all ganged up on Trigon and started fighting Trigon.
Unfortunately, even though they manage to put up a good fight, in the end, they are still unable to defeat Trigon, and are defeated instead.
"No way. The Rift Pirates were defeated." a woman said.
"There's no hope now, we can't beat him." a man said in despair.
"You island scum, now you realize just how superior I am." Trigon said. "If you surrendered peacefully, I would have just forced you out of the island, but now, I come to think that you must be punished. From this day forward, this island is under my control, and everyone living here must now work as my slaves."
(End of flashback)
"He's a lot similar to Jack. No matter what we tried, we just couldn't defeat him." Pedro said.
"As you can see, it's because the Rift Pirates fought on our side that we don't think all pirates are necessarily bad." Madeline said.
"After hearing our story, I understand if you don't think you can beat Trigon." Rodney said. "With Trigon's power to turn into a triceratops, and all that, are you still gonna fight Trigon?"
"Of course I am." Luffy replied. "Besides, we came here for something anyway."
