Devil's Switch

Chapter 6 Dragon and Reverse Mountain

Luffy, Sanji and Zoro rushed down the streets through the pouring rain and with multiple marines on their heels. They had to get back to the ship but with the marines behind them it was becoming hard and Luffy was feeling the effects of the rain on her and it was pretty evident.

"Roronoa Zoro."

The three pirates looked ahead of them, Sanji with a heart in his eye as he saw the marine woman. Zoro smirked as he saw the woman and glanced at Luffy before drawing his swords and defending against the strikes that were made towards him.

"That bastard is attacking a woman." Sanji said but Luffy grabbed his collar and continued to run down the streets.

"Let him handle the fight." The girl said and Sanji reluctantly agreed.

The two of them continued to run until once again someone was in the middle of their path, ready to fight one of them. Luffy grinned when he recognized the man and slightly glanced at Sanji who also recognized who the man intended to fight.

"Go on ahead." The girl told the man.

"Monkey D. Luffy, I will not allow you to go onto the Grandline. If you cannot defeat me here, then you will never survive there." Smoker said and the girl's grin grew to a smile.

"Luffy…" Sanji asked and the girl turned to him with a smile.

"I'll be fine, I just have to beat him." the girl said and Sanji rushed pass the man who allowed him to go. "Let's dance."

Luffy rushed forward, her fists up and ready to strike the man who simply stood and waited for the girl's small fist to contact his face. As soon as contact was made, Smoker's face turned to smoke and he wrapped around Luffy. Luffy clenched her teeth before bringing her foot around and attempting a swing at the man's head which was also in vain.

"This is head is worth thirty million beris?" Smoker questioned grabbing Luffy's head and going into the air before dropping her onto the ground.

Smoker sat on the girl's back and began to pull the jutte off of his back but was stopped when a hand grabbed the weapon. Smoker turned to look at the hooded man who prevented him from killing the small girl who he was still sitting on. The officer narrowed his eyes as lightening flashed revealing the man who stopped him before they became wide.

"YOU!" Smoker said in shock as to why the man was here.

"What? Who's there?" Luffy asked; her face still in the cobblestone road.

"The world government is looking for you." Smoker said, partially forgetting about the girl he still had captured.

"The world is waiting for our answer." The man said before raising his hand. "Storm."

As soon as the words were said, an eerie green wind kicked up, blowing everything away. Smoker wasn't blown away but he lost his grip on Luffy whose light body blew her too far for the marine to grab again.

"Go! This is your destiny!" the man said as he allowed the girl to go free.

Smoker got his balance as the girl's nakama helped her back onto her feet and they continued to make their escape. "Why did you help her?" Smoker asked very displeased. "DRAGON!"

"What is your reason for stopping her?" Dragon asked in return. "A pirate, very good."


"Sanji, Zoro, Luffy, hurry up!" Nami shouted as she saw the three pirates running towards the Merry Go with the storm following right behind them. "If we don't make it now, we won't be able to get to the Grandline!"

The three of them rushed forward, ignoring the raging sea that was beneath them and the wind that pushed them forward and jumped onto the ship, landing barely safe. Luffy took a deep breath as she stood up, soaking wet and cold before glancing at Nami who was giving out orders.

The storm was rushing against them and the waves threatened to capsize their ship but the young captain didn't fear it. She welcomed the storm and looked at her skilled navigator for what to do next and the red head smiled before yelling at the girl to make sure that they stayed in sight of the guiding light that was the light house.

Luffy rushed to her 'special seat' which was the figure head of the Going Merry and sat on it and watched the light happily as the rain poured against her. Nami had on a yellow raincoat and was about to yell at the girl to get one on too but ignored it when the winds changed a bit and she had to order the boys around.

"Sanji, move to the starboard!" the girl called and the blond, with the help of Usopp, was able to move the ship to the right with great effort.

"Nami, the light went out!" Luffy hollered but Nami smiled.

"It's okay." The girl said walking up to the girl calmly, the storm had calmed down but still raged. "Get down."

"No this is my seat." Luffy said gripping the front of the sheep head.

"I don't want it but I need to talk to everyone about something." The red head said as she ordered everyone into the kitchen.


"If this map is correct then the entrance to the Grandline is a mountain." Nami said putting down the map she had stolen from Buggy on the table and staring at the small crew.

"Mountain?" Usopp asked tipping his head to the side and in a way that made it seem impossible.

"Yes, I can't find any logic in how this works however." The girl said and Luffy sat and watched as this happened. "There may be a canal but it takes a lot of pressure to lift a ship up a mountain."

"A canal?" Usopp asked and Nami nodded.

"Why not just go south from here?" Zoro asked but Luffy got on him.

"We can't go that way!" the girl said and Nami agreed with her for once. "This way is much cooler!" Nami hit the girl in the head.

"That isn't it but there is a reason why." The girl said and Luffy looked at the door.

"The ship stopped." The girl said and Nami flinched before rushing out of the kitchen and looking around her.

"It's really calm." Zoro said walking out onto the deck and looking around.

"Maybe the storm stopped." Usopp suggested before Nami screamed.

"What's wrong Nami-swan?" Sanji asked and the girl began to panic.

"Get the oars and row back to the storm!" the girl ordered but the crew looked at her confused. "We have to get out of here!"

"But it's really calm here." Luffy said but Nami sighed and slammed a map in front of all of them.

"The Grandline is surrounded by two seas which are called the Calm Belt." The navigator said and all but Luffy and maybe Zoro understood. "Its name comes from the fact that no wind blows here. It is the most peaceful and deadly ocean in the world."

"So we are in the direction of the Grandline?" Zoro asked and Nami sighed but couldn't tell them for as soon as his words were said, the ocean around them erupted and the ship was lifted out of the water.

"The Calm Belt is the breeding grounds for Sea Kings and the largest kinds." The woman said collapsing against the mast with tears in her eyes.

Everyone else was at the railing though Usopp fainted as soon as he saw the giant creatures while Luffy stared in amazement. The one they were on noticed the small ship on his snout and tilted his head back before blowing forward, forcing the ship off of him.

The force knocked Usopp off of the ship and the sails to come undone which jerked the ship quite a bit. Luffy shot forward and was able to grip Usopp's ankle as the air blown from the sea king's nose blew the ship out of the Calm Belt and back onto their original course.

Nami was still somewhat in a traumatized faze but quickly recovered when she realized that she had to get them back on the proper course. "SANJI! MOVE THE SHIP TO THE PORT!" the girl yelled and Sanji and Usopp quickly on it while Nami noticed the canal that was attached to the mountain that they were going to climb.

"What's that!" Luffy asked shocked at the immense size of the cliff that they were going for.

"That's the Red Line." Nami said with a small smile. "It circles the world and indicates the entrance to the first half of the Grandline."

"We're going to crash!" Usopp said even though the canal had come into view of all of them.

"Starboard!" Nami called and the two men pushed towards the right but it wasn't good enough.

"Zoro watch Boshi!" Luffy said as she tossed the straw hat to her first mate and rushed forward.

All the pirates watched in shock as Luffy shot over the port side of the ship and barely clinged to the railing of the small caravel. There were archway gates on both side of the canal's entrance and the ship was heading towards one and if contacted, would destroy the ship and kill all of them. Luffy got in between the ship and the archway and using her arms and legs as a balance weight, pushed off the archway with enough force that the ship went back on its main course and safely moved up the canal.

Luffy jumped onto Merry Go's figure head, her hat back on her head as the ship continued up the mountain. The storm was left behind them and the crew smiled and cheered in amazement as they moved farther up the canal. A smile grew on Luffy's face as she saw the summit and the ship jumped in the air.

"I'M GOING TO BE THE KING OF THE PIRATES!"


Ah that was fun to write. I am only going to be able to update my stories on the weekends now a days because of school but if I have enough spare time, I might get on or two done through the week but always expect them on the weekends unless something is up. Hope you liked this and I believe what Luffy did in the canal is possible for her. The rain should affect her right? I mean Crocodile is affected by the rain and he's sand so Luffy should as well since she's fire, right? Well hope you liked.
