One Piece: Ace's Untold Adventures
Devil Fruit Crystal Arc
1512 AOP
I soon arrived on Dawn Island and traveled through a dangerous animal infested forest and came across a boy; he seemed like he couldn't trust anyone, his eyes were like how mine still are. Eyes filled with hatred for the world he was born into, pain from loneliness, and sadness from questioning his existence and wondering why he was born and will he ever be truly…Free.
Ace: Could she be…?
Chapter 10: Twilight Falls
Ace: Uuuugg…We've been sailing for hours, when are we gonna get there?
Celli: I have to agree why couldn't we wait till dawn?
Raito: *yawn* huh? The wind stopped?
Rick: This is not a good sign; it means something gigantic and water related is coming.
Alice: Good were in position.
Ace: Huh? What position, I thought we weren't stopping till we get to Twilight Island?
Alice: We're still heading there; it's just not down here.
Maya: So that's why people say the island doesn't exist.
Celli: Yes it makes perfect sense.
Alice: You have no idea what I'm talking about do you?
Celli: Not a one.
Maya: I know what your like so I know where it is.
Ace: Where? All I can see is that the wind stopped blowing and I don't see an island.
Alice: This place is called the dead zone. Besides the Calm Belt this particular area is like a tube where the wind won't blow.
Rick: then how do we get to the island?
Alice: we'll be there by dawn.
Raito: I don't think we'll have that long. I can see the marine ships come closer.
(Main Marine Ship)
Garp: So why did you bring those three?
Sengoku: This is the 'Organization' were dealing with, the two of us alone can't take them down and you know it.
Aokiji: I always thought that girl and Twilight Island was just a myth?
Sengoku: So did we, but if the immortal spirit fox is trying to get there, there's a good possibility it exists.
Akainu: In any case this girl has a connection the causing the void century; as soon as we find the link she won't escape Absolute Justice.
Kizaru: Why would someone as smart as her join pirates, she could have been useful to the World Government; *sigh* what a waste.
Sengoku: Right now those pirates, the 'Organization', and she are a threat to this world; so don't hesitate to kill them on sight. Alice is only immortal to age not wounds, but she also has the power to control water and the ocean to some extent; she is the woman that has the power to destroy the world.
Garp: You certainly know a lot about her.
Sengoku: There have been multiple accounts where she had been sighted acting of own free will, and committed acts against the world government.
Akainu: This is more of a reason for us not to let her or those pirates return from that island alive.
Garp: *thinking* Ace; what are you trying to accomplish by doing this?*
Sengoku: GARP! I'd like to hear your thoughts on this?
Garp: Sure Sengoku, but first…lets have some tea. I bought some from that island we were last at; so lets all enjoy some before it goes bad.
Sengoku: GARP THIS IS NO TIME FOR TEA!
(Spade Pirate Ship)
Kito: Alice, you'd better think of something quick before the marines get us!
Alice: We must stay in this absolute spot till the line of the sun comes up.
Raito: What the heck does that do!
Ace: This is no time for arguing, cause you see…we're surrounded.
(The Spade Pirates look in all directions but each direction has a marine ship blocking their path. Sengoku, Garp and the three admirals come out onto the deck of the main marine ship to discuss the situation to the pirates.)
Sengoku: Pirates listen carefully! This is your chance to surrender, do so peacefully and you won't be destroyed!
Alice: Little Sen is that you?
Garp: *snicker* What did she call you?
Alice: It's been 25 years hasn't it? I hardly recognized you with out that trademark afro of yours Little Sen.
Garp/Ace: *snicker*
Ace: Wait you know him?
Alice: Yeah, about 25 years ago back when he was still just an admiral; he tried to capture me.
Sengoku: That's when you transformed into your fox form and ran away, like you've always done for the past 5,000 years.
Alice: Well as you can see I'm in a little bit of a hurry so-
Akainu: Don't think you can escape from absolute justice. (Akainu is preparing to attack Alice)
Alice: Cool it magma boy, I'm just trying to get to Twilight Island; so if you wouldn't mind...GET OUT OF MY WAY!
Aokiji: a feisty one isn't she; I think it's you who should cool off. (Also preparing to attack Alice)
Ace: (sarcastically) ooh that was really intimidating, why don't you growl or show them those teeth; that'll really scare them off.
Alice: You looking to get bit moron?
Ace: No way you're probably infested with rabies or something!
Alice: Why would you think that!
Ace: Because you're a good for nothing ANIMAL!
Alice: WHO ARE YOU CALLING AN ANIMAL?
Ace: I thought you would have figured it out by now?
Sengoku: *anger* ENOUGH!
(Just then the water beneath the ships started to rumble as the thinnest line from the raising sun appeared. Alice warned everyone to get inside the ship, the marines did the same so they could try to escape what was about to happen. 30 seconds later on the very spot where the pirate ship and the marine ships are floating a huge burst of water comes gushing out in a spiral form, taking all the ships up with it.)
Ace: ALICE!
Alice: What?
Ace: AN ANSWER WOULD BE NICE!
Alice: Later, but first we need to brace for impact.
Spade Pirates: FOR WHAT?
(All the ships are shot up in the air and are flying away from the water spiral and the all land on water with big impacts in different locations. The Spade Pirate ship crashed into the waves, yet it was still intact. Unfortunately all of its crew members were knocked unconscious; and Ace had a dream from when he was 7 years old. The dream was filled with a bright white light so where nothing could be seen except a girl with long silver hair in a long strapless ice blue dress that looked as if it was for a royal party.)
Young Ace: What's your name?
?: My name is-
(Just then Ace wakes up as if he had a nightmare. Ace was lying on a shore of an island with Alice sitting next to him waiting for him to get up.)
Alice: Hm? So you're awake…bout time you lazy good for nothing captain.
Ace: Oww what happened?
Alice: Our ship hit the water hard which knocked everyone of us out and somehow scattered everyone on different parts of the island along with those marines, and your were taking your sweet time waking up.
Ace: Where are we?
Alice: Were right outside Twilight Island.
(Ace looks around at the ocean and discovers Twilight's secret.)
Ace: Were-were-were…WERE IN THE SKY! YOU CAN SEE THE CLOUDS ARE LOWER THAN THE OCEAN! Alright fox girl, why are we on an ocean that's in the sky?
Alice: I'll explain later, first we need to get to the control tower and rid the world of the crystals AND the control tower.
Ace: Why the control tower, and why there is an island in the sky? Don't hold back anymore information!
Alice: *grr* FINE!
(Both get up from the shore and start heading towards a huge and tall tower that was at the center of the island and could be seen from any point.)
Alice: With the power of the crystals activating the control tower, they could awaken the ancient weapons that were used to conquer the world and control all them from here.
Ace: Okay, and...?
Alice: If we destroy the control tower with the crystals then the weapons can't be awoken at the same time. But they can be awakened individually, but that can only happen if someone can read the ancient tablets left by the old kingdom.
Ace: Okay I'm with you so far, but that doesn't explain why this place is in the sky.
Alice: It will be better to explain when we get there.
(Meanwhile of the North side of the Island)
Kito: *cough* I swear Alice has got to work on her timing when it comes to this kind of stuff.
Maya: It's because she is trying to protect us.
Kito: Yeah, launching us up into the sky and nearly drowning everyone was good way to save us.
Rick: Don't you dare question My Alice!
Kito: Well right now Your Alice is hanging out with Ace at the moment…Where the hell are we?
Maya: Twilight Island, I bet Alice and Ace are already heading towards that large tower.
Rick: Man that thing must be huge for us to see it from here.
Raito: Well it's a good place to start.
Celli: I wonder if we'll find them.
Raito: If Ace gets her mad we'll find them no problem.
Maya: Yeah and neither will the marines.
Kito: I get the feeling we're gonna be here for a while.
(East side of the island)
Garp: Is everyone alright?
Akainu: What the hell was that?
Aokiji: Looks like were on the fabled Twilight Island.
Kizaru: my, my this looks like the perfect place to leave these pirates after we eliminate them.
Sengoku: Everyone salvage and save whatever you can find and any ship you can. Garp, Aokiji, Akainu, and Kizaru, were going to search to the island and eliminate the pirates and who ever is involved with the 'Organization'!
(Back at the South side of the island)
(After walking for nearly the entire day Ace and Alice decide to take a break; they sit on a large rock to catch their breath when Ace decides to tell Alice something.)
Ace: You know what? You kind of remind me of some woman I met once.
Alice: Really?
Ace: Yeah, I know it doesn't sound possible; two women who act like their animal counter parts.
Alice: *anger* Watch it.
Ace: But the only similarity is that you both have golden eyes. The woman I met had silver hair, but you have blue colored hair; and she was to more beautiful for words and was a lot kinder than you are.
Alice: *more anger* Hey!
Ace: But she looked at least 20 when I met her, and that was when I was 7 years old; so she should at least be 30 now.
Alice: Where did you meet this silver haired woman 10 years ago?
Ace: On the island where I was raised; Dawn Island. I can't put my finger on it; it's just that you and that mystery woman seem the same to me.
Alice: Not sure if I should take that as a compliment or as an insult. Did she even tell you her name?
Ace: That's the thing; I can't remember her name and I know she told me.
Alice: So you can't remember the name of your first crush.
Ace: Exactly- Hey! She wasn't my first crush.
Alice: The way you described her is the same way someone would describe their crush or lover; and I think you actually like this girl.
Ace: The only way I can remember now was in a dream I had earlier.
Alice: And that does is not helping you one bit. Just admit that you like that girl!
Ace: I DO NOT!
Alice: The why is your face red? *smile*
Ace: I DO NOT LIKE THAT GIRL!
Alice: Who are you trying to convince me or yourself?
Ace: I ugh- I…I hate you.
Alice: Don't worry, I hate you too.
Ace: So what do you remember from your past?
Alice: Not much really, I can't even remember what my home town looked like or what my parents looked like, but I know to them I was nothing but a burden.
Ace: I guess we're still have those in common.
Alice: What?
Ace: Nothing; Well we better get to the tower quickly if we want to be rid of these things once and for all.
Alice: Yeah.
(Just as the sun begins to set all three groups arrive at the control tower at the same time. The control tower was dead center of a long and seemingly endless and empty field.)
Sengoku: We made it; and there are the pirates. Don't attack till I give the order.
Kito: Hey look Ace is still alive.
Raito: Looks like I owe you 15 beli.
Ace: What is that supposed to mean!
Kito/Raito: Nothing.
Celli: But I thought every time you two were alone, no matter where you guys were on an island anyone on said island could hear you two argue over nothing.
Sengoku: Give yourselves up pirates!
Akainu: Or we will have to destroy you.
Alice: We don't just argue over nothing.
Ace: Yeah, we also argue just for the sake of arguing.
Alice: And I only beat you senseless because you're an idiot who doesn't know how to shut up!
Ace: Hey I'm not an idiot!
Alice: That's for proving my point about you never shutting up!
Ace: *grr* At least I'm not some wild animal!
Alice: WHO ARE YOU CALLING AN ANIMAL!
Spade Pirates: *sigh* Here we go again.
Aokiji: They sound like an old married couple.
Garp: That's what I said when I saw them earlier.
Kizaru: I wonder how long they've been like this.
Kito: Day in and day out it's the same pointless argument.
Raito: You'd think they would find out how pointless they're arguments are.
Celli: I'd wish they'd get over themselves and just kiss already.
Sengoku: *ANGER* ENOUGH STALLING!
Black Rook: ATTACK!
Ace: AND ANOTHER THING- huh?
(Everyone looks towards the tower where they heard the voice and they see Black Rook standing out on the third row window in his usual outfit.)
Black Rook: Thank you so much for bringing the four most high ranking marines to this island Alice; you have done well.
Alice: I only came here to end what the 'organization' started.
Ace: And I'm gonna pay you back for what you did to me on that winter island.
Alice: Ace?
Ace: Yeah?
Alice: If you do or say one more thing to annoy me in the next 24 hours, I swear I will slice you in half with your own (Beep)ing sweat! Or do I need to remind you that I have that capability?
Ace: WHAT THE HECK IS YOUR PROBLEM?
Alice: JUST LISTENING TO YOU IS ALREADY MAKING ME MAD!
Ace: WELL YOU DON'T HAVE TO BITE MY HEAD OFF!
Alice: WE ARE ABOUT TO FIGHT A GUY HOW KICKED YOUR SORRY BUTT INTO THE GROUND IN UNDER A MINUTE, SO WHAT USE ARE YOU WHEN IT COMES TO FIGHTING HIM HUH, YOU TELL ME!
Ace: JUST WATCH AND SEE!
Kito: Oh for the love of-
Garp: WOULD YOU TWO GIVE IT A REST FOR 5 MINUTES AND CONCENTRATE ON THE OTHER GUY?
Black Rook: Alice why do you keep pretending to be their friend? There just pawns in your grand scheme aren't they?
Alice: Huh? okay first of all who said we were friends, second they can do what ever they want, and third my plan ends with your and the 'organization's destruction.
Ace: And I'm gonna kick your-
Alice: I'll take you in Black Rook.
Black Rook: Humph, fair enough; and I can finally have my revenge!
Alice: Bring it! From the first time I met you I have always wanted to rid this world of you.
Ace: HEY I WAS GONNA FIGHT HIM!
Alice: You really are dense. Look around you guys we're surrounded.
(All look around see them surrounded by what seems like an endless army of weapon wielding guys. All waiting for Black Rooks orders to kill.)
Sengoku: *grrr* Everyone get ready!
Black Rook: Alice let's take this fight somewhere else where there are no interruptions.
Alice: Fine with me.
Ace: Hey wait, don't lose to this guy we still need you.
Alice: Don't worry; this guy will be in shreds before he knows it.
Ace: *grin* Well go kick some-whoa! (Dodges an arrow) that was close.
(Both Alice and Black Rook disappear from the control tower, and the instant they do the army that surrounded them starts attacking.)
(West Side of the Island)
Black Rook: This is perfect; and now you're going to die here.
Alice: Don't bet on it.
(Alice pulls out her trident and Black Rook gets into a martial arts fighting pose, and the instant the wind stops blowing they jump at each other; and with in a second a flash of light appears and they are on opposite sides of each other and the wind picks back up. They both turn around to face one another; Alice has a slight burse on her right cheek and Black Rook has a paper cut sized mark on his lip.)
Black Rook: Not bad; but let's see how long you can keep it up.
Alice: *smile*
(Control Tower)
Ace: FIRE FIST! There is just no end to them!
Kito: I'm guessing there are more than just 100 guys here.
Celli: I agree WHIP STRIKE!
Raito: Well time for me to go wild.
(Raito transforms into his human wolf hybrid form; which is a gigantic wolf on two legs wielding a gigantically large and wide sword.)
Rick: But when it comes to hand to hand combat these guys are weak.
Maya: True.
Kito: WHY ARE YOU JUST STANDING THERE?
Maya: I dislike fighting, so I just kick back who ever come at me.
Sengoku: Let's take down these guys first!
Akainu: Fine to me.
Garp: *Grin* ALRIGHT!
(Garp starts swinging wildly left and right, taking out every enemy in his path, and the others are destroying everyone in their path as well with no mercy.)
Kito: Perfect, I hope Alice is having a better time.
(West side of the island)
(Black Rook just kicked Alice in mid air into the ground and starts punching her violently till she is unable to move.)
Alice: What. did…you do to..me?
Black Rook: You ever hear of sea stone?
Alice: So that's why you were able to hit me.
Black Rook: You know, you are less fearsome then the stories say. How did such a weak little girl survive all this time? I know your holding back, FIGHT ME AT YOUR FULL STRENGTH!
Alice: Never; I made a promise 10 years ago I could never break. *gets up*
Black Rook: HA A PROMISE THAT'S IT? Pathetic; what's more important your life or a stupid promise?
Alice: *smile* Why would I waste my time answering your questions. *thinking* Just a little longer, Just until the sun goes down, then I can be my true...* (coughs up blood)
(Black Rook seeing Alice in that state activates his Devil Fruit power. His right hand starts to drip with some sort of green slime.)
Alice: What the-
Black Rook: This is my specialty and my Devil Fruit Power. This is the acid poison from my right hand and it melts anything it touches, even water.
Alice: And?
(Black Rook attacks Alice and tries to touch her with his right hand, but in doing so he latches on a sea stone cuff to her right arm and grabs it with is right hand which melts it to her skin. Alice starts feeling the sea stone melting and eating away at her skin and collapses in pain.)
Alice: This proves nothing; it just shows how resourceful you are.
Black Rook: You just can't be scared can you? If you were fighting at your full strength then you could beat me.
Alice: Did you know that there is a special form of the full moon that only shows up once every ten years?
Black Rook: I've heard of that; it causes a higher than usual high tide. Heh, so that's why; you can't be at full strength unless this special moon comes out.
Alice: Well you're only half right.
Black Rook: Well I better finish you off now, not that I'm not curious about your true strength; I just don't want to take any chances. You understand that there is only 20 minutes till that moon comes out; so I'm going to have some fun ripping your body apart before the moon comes.
(Control Tower)
Ace: Easy guys, we don't want to destroy the tower before we can destroy the crystals!
Kito: Why don't you do that yourself?
Ace: How should I know!
Celli: Just like Alice; doesn't trust anyone enough to take care of her work for her.
Maya: That's one thing that won't change for another 1,000 years.
Raito: But how many are these guys? There is way more than the 100 people that the psycho guy is supposed to control.
Ace: That's got me thinking.
Rick: You thinking about this situation? That's got to be a first.
Ace: I think there than one main chess piece here and WHAT THE HECK IS TAKING ALICE SO LONG!
(West Side of the Island)
(Black Rook walks over and picks Alice up by her neck, grabs her right arm just below the shoulder and starts pulling.)
Black Rook: Lets see how long till you yell and beg me to stop or till I rip you arm off.
Alice: (Smile) Well rip away, I'm not gonna beg for nothing from you. You piece of sh-
(As soon as Alice is about to insult him, Black Rook starts squeezing and pulling her arm. Alice just clenches her teeth and tries to endure the pain. With one strong yank Alice's arm gets ripped off and her blood splashes everywhere and starts dripping on the ground. Black Rook is laughing at how easy it was and Alice is silently enduring the endless pain and refuses to move.)
Black Rook: What's wrong can't say anything now? (laughs) How did such a weakling become the Left Black Bishop?
Alice: 5 minutes.
(Control Tower)
Ace: (quickly turns to the direction of the west side of the island and has a concerned look on his face)
Rick: Ace is something wrong?
Ace: I just got a bad feeling about Alice.
Kito: Really? Maybe Alice is about to go on a rampage like when she hangs around you to long.
Ace: It's not like that, it's like Alice is the one about to get killed.
Celli: That's impossible, how can someone kill a girl who has had 5,000 years to perfect her fighting style.
Maya: Now I'm really worried.
Ace: I would like to go and see what's happening but these guys aren't giving us any choice.
Celli: *thinking* So that was his plan from the start, But if Alice knew that from the start then why didn't she tell anyone?*
Maya: Celli, this was Alice's choice; and you should know she's not the type to roll over and die and leave that idiot to fight her battles for her.
Celli: Good point.
Maya: But I'm still worried about what will happen tonight, Alice loses her powers completely for 24 hours starting on the night when the moon phase that comes once every 10 years appears; which is tonight.
Ace: WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY THAT EARLIER? ALICE IS GOING TO DIE WITHOUT THOSE POWERS!
Maya: She didn't tell you, because she wants no one to defend her when they know she is at her weakest. And besides she won't leave anyone to fight her battles and finish what she started.
Ace: ALICE YOU'RE MESSED UP IN THE HEAD!
(West Side of the Island)
(Angered that Alice just keeps smiling and refuses to show the look of pain on her face; Black Rook starts squeezing Alice's neck and yelling how he is better and she is weak, and her only response is.)
Alice: 90 seconds.
(Black Rook gets calm and let's go of Alice's neck and as she falls to the ground, Black Rook does a spin kick and kicks her as hard as he possible can sending her flying into the air.)
Black Rook: With that I won't get to see you die, but at that speed you'll fall right of Twilight Island and fall into the sea of the Grand Line and since you can't use your powers the impact alone will rip you apart! I'll keep your arm as a souvenir. I wonder how your so called crew will take the new of your death?
(Control Tower)
Ace: DON'T YOU DIE YOU STUPID FOX GIRL!
(Alice begins her decent down to the Grand Line below with a big smile on her face, looking at the full moon and says right before she goes into the water.)
Alice: It's been fun.
(Her body collides with the water creating a huge impact wave. When the water settles nothing is coming to the surface other than a single strand of silver hair.)
To Be Continued…
