New update! Y'all are lucky that I have most of this written out ahead of time, or else I wouldn't have been able to post this today. :) Anyways, continuation of the original story arc!

Thanks to: Shiningheart of ThunderClan, ZabuszasGirl, Skitzykat101, and TheRealEvanSG for the reviews! Love them!

In reply to Skitzykat101's review, let's just pretend that this was his first time admitting it, but he hated being embarrassed so he decided to never tell the others about his direction habits ever again.

And TheRealEvanSG: the message you sent me about my story really made my day, so thank you (I had just sprained my ankle haha)

Chapter 13

Without much else to do, we returned back to Brisa's cottage and garden, just in time to see Usopp, Zoro, Nami, and surprisingly, Maxton running towards us in a panic (well, except for Zoro. He was a lot calmer than the other two).

"GUYSSS!" Usopp was shrieking. "WE'RE IN BIG TROUBLE!"

"What's wrong?" Luffy asked in confusion

They skidded to a halt in front of us, and Nami gasped out, "Kiryok - he's -!"

"That Kiryok guy made a bomb and is planning on using it to take over East Blue," Zoro supplied easily over Nami, Maxton, Usopp's gasping.

There was a pause as we all stared blankly at the green-haired swordsman. Then…

"WHAT?!"

"COOOL!"

I punched Luffy's face. "SHUT UP YOU IDIOT! IT'S NOT COOL AT ALL!"

"Where's it at?" Sanji demanded, and Nami shook her head helplessly.

"Probably at Kiryok's factory," Maxton pointed out, wiping sweat off his chin. "It's probably the only place that's able to have all the right materials to build one," he elaborated, and Luffy nodded firmly.

"So this Kiryok guy's a bastard, right?" he asked, and when we all nodded the affirmative, he clenched his fists. "So let's go kick his ass!"

"Right!"

"Brisssaaaaa!" Maxton called as we ran through the woods. We were all running as fast as we could to get to the factory, and Maxton was trying to get a response from the gardener. "BRIIIISSSAAAA - oof! What the -! Kiryok?!"

Maxton fell to the ground, and the neon-haired man he ran in to staggered back a little with a swear. "What was that for, you brat?!" We all skidded to a stop at the sight of Kiryok standing there, his hand on a tree as it shriveled before our eyes.

"HEY!" Luffy shouted in both realization and anger. "YOU LIED TO ME! YOU'RE THE ONE KILLING THE TREES!" I resisted the urge to smack my face, but apparently Nami and Usopp didn't. I watched as they both smacked their foreheads at our captain's stupidity, and Maxton just gaped at us like the poor, disbelieving fool he was. But unfortunately for Maxton's brain cells, Luffy was being serious.

"Of course," Kiryok laughed mockingly. "Did you really think I would just stand and appreciate nature like some moron?" He placed his hand on another tree, my eyes widened as the tree withered and died under his touch.

'What the hell?!'

"How is he doing that?!" Maxton yelped, scrambling to his feet.

"He must have a Devil Fruit!" Nami shouted, and Kiryok sneered at her, taking his hand off the tree.

"Correct," he said, holding up a hand and showing us a glowing palm. "I ate the Ki ki no mi. It allows me to steal energy from everything and use it like this!" And with a shout, a laser beam shot out of his hand and slammed into Luffy. It knocked the rubber teen off his feet, and sent him crashing into a tree roughly as the rest of us started and drew our weapons.

"LUFFY!" we shouted in alarm, but Luffy instead rose to his feet, rubbing at the burns the beam gave him.

"HE CAN SHOOT LASER BEAMS! THAT'S SOOOOO COOL!" he cheered, and I found myself itching to just strangle that bastard of a captain and make sure that he never bothered anyone again with his idiocy.

"Oh?" Kiryok asked in interest, an eyebrow raising on his face. "You're not dead. I'm surprised. You're tougher than you look."

Luffy's face lost its enthusiasm as Kiryok continued to speak. "But it's useless. I'll destroy that forest, along with that girl, and I'll use all this energy to build an empire even greater than Arlong's!" Nami flinched imperceptibly at the mention of Arlong, and I felt a rush of anger course through me. I quickly glanced at the rest of the crew, and noticed that everyone else appeared to be seething at the mention of the fishman pirate. All except Luffy, who was staring at the neon-haired man, his expression dark.

"Where's Brisa?" Kiryok blinked at the question, startled by the wary tone in Luffy's voice, but he scoffed.

"The bitch? I told my men to take care of her," he said carelessly, and before any of us could stop him, Maxton lunged at the man. I gripped the handle of my axe harder, feeling dread begin to build up in my gut. What exactly did he mean when he said, 'take care of her'?

"YOU'RE LYING! THERE'S NO WAY YOU COULD KILL BRISA!" Maxton roared, but Kiryok easily dodged the teen's flying fist and blasted the young man into a nearby tree.

"Lying?" he laughed as Maxton sank to the ground, smoke rising off of his burned body. "No, not at all. She snuck into my factory and tried to stop my plan from coming into fruition, so I told Arlo and Zeke to get rid of her."

My eyes widened, and I gripped my axe harder as Nami gasped in realization. No. Oh no, oh no, oh no, Brisa couldn't be -!

"Zoro. Nami. Usopp. Sanji. Hazel." We all perked up at the mention of our names, and I tore my gaze from the criminal before me to Luffy, who looked uncharacteristically serious. "Go help Brisa. I'll take care of him."

"B-but -!" Maxton protested weakly as he pushed away from the tree, grasping at his ribs and burns, but Nami hushed him.

"C'mon, we'll find her," she assured the teen, seizing him by the shirt and carefully pulling him along. "Be careful, Luffy!" she called over her shoulder as they ran off, and Luffy nodded.

"Yeah, Luffy, kick his ass!" I added, and Sanji grasped my shoulder as he and the rest of the crew moved out. Luffy just nodded again, and I turned my attention to the neon-haired man when I heard Kiryok speak.

"Ah, your friends are running away, are they?" I heard him ask mockingly while Luffy turned back to him. "It's useless. They'll run into my underlings soon enou -!"

Kiryok's little speech was cut off when Luffy slammed a fist into the man's face, sending him reeling as Luffy cracked his knuckles, and I found myself grinning in satisfaction at the sight of the man reeling.

"You're going to pay for hurting Brisa and her forest," he growled, and Kiryok glowered.

"Make me," he spat in reply, before holding out a hand and I watched him blast another beam of energy at Luffy before the trees swallowed my vision.

I gulped, and turned my attention ahead, hoping to god that Luffy would come out of the fight alright, and that Brisa would still be alive by the time we found her.

We reached the factory in record time, only to see it practically empty and void of smoke billowing from its chimneys.

"That's odd," Nami said with a frown. "If they were making a bomb, wouldn't they have the factory running?"

"Oh, I've been here before," Zoro realized, blinking at the fenced property, and everyone's heads whipped around to stare at him.

"Really?" I asked in surprise, before Usopp sighed.

"When you got lost, right?" he asked, and Zoro flushed a little in embarrassment.

"S-shut up!" he snapped in reply, completely flustered.

"Where's Brisa?" Maxton cut in worriedly before Sanji could make fun of Zoro, and we all scanned the factory and the river.

"Maybe they're still holding her inside of the factory," Nami mused. "But I don't see how they're going to be able to kill her; don't most attacks just go through her, thanks to her Kaze kaze abilities?"

"They shou - there they are!" Maxton flung an arm out, and we all turned to see two men, one tall and lean, the other large and hulking, dragging a sack that struggled with every pull. "They've got Brisa!" he shouted aloud in a panic.

Nami swore when she realized something. "They're heading towards the river!" she gasped, and I grabbed my axe. We needed to get to them, and fast!

"Move!" Sanji shoved us away, just in time to avoid a swing from Zoro's blade as he slashed at the fence. It fell apart easily under his sword, and he sheathed it with a single nod of satisfaction.

"Let's go," he ordered, and we all nodded and rushed into the clearing.

I kept my eyes fixed on the two men and the wiggling sack as we neared the river, and I could feel my heart jumping into my throat as the men hefted the sack onto their shoulders.

And before anybody could stop them, they threw her into the river.

"BRISA!"

They kept Brisa in the bag for a while after she was caught, and the white-haired woman was just beginning to get her hands out of the cuffs when they picked her sack up.

"Quick, let's do it. We only have a little bit of time before the boss finishes getting enough energy for the bomb," Arlo hissed, and Brisa felt a flutter of fear erupt in her gut.

It was time. They were going to kill her.

She struggled as much as she could against the handcuffs, and was rewarded with a heavy fist slamming into her side. "Settle down, you!"

Brisa shook her head defiantly, muffled, panicked grunts making their way out of her mouth as she continued to struggle.

"Quick, just toss her into the river," Arlo suggested, and she heard Zeke chuckle as a rush of fear passed through the gardener. Like most with Devil Fruit abilities, the mention of large bodies of water left her feeling scared and anxious.

"Sure." Brisa's struggling grew wilder when she heard a door squeak open, and she fought and fought against her bonds. This was it! If she couldn't get out now, then she was dead for sure.

"Ready?"

"Yeah."

"One…two…three!" And with a hoarse, muffled scream, they tossed Brisa into the river.

She hit it with a large splash, the water instantly soaking through the burlap sack she was tied up in. She flailed about, but it was no use; the water level rose quickly, and soon enough, it was passing over her head.

Brisa choked as water rushed in around her gag, and she felt myself panicking more than she ever had in her life as the water sapped at her energy. She was going to die, drown for a lost cause with no one to save her -!

Something seized the sack, and the next thing she knew, she was being hoisted out of the water. She coughed and gagged around the cloth in her mouth, but she couldn't help but feel immensely relieved as air rushed back into her lungs.

"Brisa!" Someone frantically tore the bag open, and she blinked fuzzily up at a mess of blond and blue hair…and then a familiar face swam into view.

"Brisa, are you okay?" Nimble hands swiftly untied her gag, and she coughed, before grinning weakly up at Sanji and Maxton, both of the men pale, but relieved.

"As okay as I can be after a near-death experience," Brisa replied, wincing as her chest seemed to protest with every breath she took.

I felt myself sag in relief at the sight of the tired, soaked woman and the sound of her voice. She was okay! We got to her in time!

She seemed pretty okay despite her near-death experience, if not a little tired, but when she didn't seem to be able to sit up, I started to worry.

"Uh, sempai?" I asked carefully, and slowly, she dragged her eyes over to me. "What's wrong?"

"Something's wrong with these cuffs," she mumbled tiredly, weakly jangling them in my direction. "Makes me feel…weak."

"What?" Nami went over to inspect the cuffs, but a voice interrupted her.

"What're we gonna do when the boss finds out that we weren't able to kill her?" moaned a man in exaggeration. He was tall and lean, with long black hair tied back, and a calloused hand resting against the hilt of a blade. Brisa's other attempted murderer, a tall, thick and heavy man sneered.

"Just kill everyone else and try again," he suggested with a careless swing of his hammer. I felt a chill run down my spine at that statement, and I moved to stand in front of Brisa protectively.

"Hold up." Everyone paused at Zoro's command, and he stepped forward. "You, with the blade. Fight me."

Nami groaned, and muttered, "Now's not the time, Zoro!"

"There's always time for a fight," Zoro disagreed, a razor-sharp grin decorating his face. "So? What do you say?"

The swordsman grinned, and began to draw his blade. "And miss the chance to fight against the best swordsman in East Blue? I think not."

"Morons, the both of them," I heard Nami grumble, and was inclined to agree with her.

Nami knelt down so that she was in front of Brisa's cuffs, and she pulled a pin from her hair. She stuck her tongue out, and within a few minutes, the cuffs were undone, and Brisa seemed to perk up.

"Thanks," she said gratefully as she rose to her feet, gingerly kicking the cuffs away from her. "Now, asshole," she said, addressing the other, big man, "sit still while I beat the shit outta you."

"With what?" he mocked, falling into a defensive position. "You don't have your fans."

Brisa's face hardened. "Shit," she muttered under her breath. She raised her voice. "I don't need fans to create wind!"

She clapped her hands together, and a big gust of wind rushed out, knocking nearly everybody flat.

"Nami," she said lowly, "I need you to head inside and grab my fans for me."

"What?" Nami snapped, pushing herself upright. "There's a bomb in there! I can't go in there!"

"Then diffuse it."

A ringing silence fell, and Nami shrieked, "WHAT?!"

"You're good with your hands," Brisa said, nodding at the redhead's hands, and they curled under her gaze. "You just picked that lock. You'll be fine."

"I don't know a single thing about diffusing bombs!" Nami screeched.

"I'll help," Maxton piped up, and Brisa's eyes widened when he nodded seriously at her. "I'm a mechanic. I'll be able to help."

"Maxton," Brisa began as the swordsman and the hammer-wielder began to pick themselves back up. "You don't have to-"

"It's okay," Maxton said, helping Nami to her feet. "Everyone's fighting or helping out…and I wanna help too."

Brisa gulped, before she nodded. "Alright, but make sure to bring my fans back. Go!" she ordered, flinging another gust of wind at the large man.

"We'll help," Sanji said, gripping my shoulder while seizing Usopp's overalls. "Right?"

"Right!" I nodded firmly.

"U-uh," Usopp stammered timidly, but he was roundly ignored Nami, Sanji, Maxton, and I began to head inside. He gulped, took a look at the two men advanced, and scrambled after us. "I-I'll help too!"

Zoro studied his opponent. Lean, with a long reach, and a single blade that seemed a little unbalanced. A smirk began to cross his face.

"Make sure you give me a challenge," he drawled lazily, drawing the only blade attached to his belt. He really needed to get his other blades replaced.

"Oh, don't worry," his opponent, Arlo, purred. "You'll get your challenge."

They stared at each other for one moment longer, before their blades collided with an almighty clang.

They separated with the grind of metal on metal, before engaging again, blades flashing and clashing as they swung and blocked.

"Heh, not bad," Zoro commented, meeting Arlo's thrust with a quick deflective swing. "You're makin' me sweat a little."

"Is that so?" Arlo asked mildly, before his thumb shifted downwards. "Then allow me to up the ante."

Zoro's eyes narrowed as Arlo pushed a button, and frowned when it seemed to do nothing. "What was that?"

Arlo waved his hand in a 'bring it on' gesture. "Why don't you come and find out?"

Zoro frowned a moment longer at the lean man, before he nodded and rushed forward. He went in for a low horizontal strike, but Arlo's blade met his.

"Arrrrggghhhh!" Zoro grunted as an electrical current raced its way up the green-haired teen's blade and into his body. His fingers convulsed, but still managed to grip the hilt of his sword.

"How about that?" Arlo snickered, thrusting forward at Zoro's heart, but Zoro gritted his teeth, and forced his muscles to respond. Arlo's eyes widened as Zoro blocked the attack. "How'd you manage to block that?!"

Zoro nearly bit off his own tongue as another electrical surge ran into him from the blade, and he ground out, "I made myself move, simple as that."

Arlo backed up, studying his opponent, before a sly smirk crossed his face.

"Interesting," he said with a mocking smile. "I'm sure this will be a lot of fun."

And he charged at Zoro.

Brisa threw herself down to the ground, cringing when the blunt side of Zeke's hammer grazed her bangs. Swiftly, she threw out a hand, but Zeke easily side-stepped the attack and brought his hammer down at her outstretched arm.

Knowing that turning into wind would be useless with Zeke's strange hammer, Brisa swiftly rolled to the side, sighing a little in relief as the hammer missed her body and instead slammed into the grass.

Zeke straightened as Brisa hopped back to her feet, and grinned tauntingly at the white-haired woman.

"Not feelin' so strong now, are ya?" he mocked, and Brisa jerked back as he swiftly swung his hammer at her.

"What's with your hammer?" she panted as she squatted underneath another swing. "How can it hit me?!"

"Oh, you've never heard of it?" Zeke asked, pausing and hefting his weapon. "I'm surprised. A certain captain in Loguetown has a weapon similar to this."

Brisa's eyes widened as she recalled, "Seastone!"

"That's right," Zeke affirmed, suddenly lashing out and catching Brisa in the chest. She crumpled under the blow, and he moved to loom over her. "It's handy, especially when I'm fighting a devil fruit user."

Gasping, Brisa used her wind to shoot her body to the side, and narrowly missed being crushed by Zeke's next swing.

"Dammit," she hissed under her breath as she retreated a safe distance away from the large man. "I need my fans."

She backed up from another swing, and quickly retaliated by shoving a finger out at the man. She sent a precise blast of wind from her finger, and Zeke stumbled as it impacted against his chest, shredding a small hole before the wind died down.

He roared in pain, and Brisa glanced worriedly at the factory.

"I hope they find them in time."

"Where the hell are we?" Sanji demanded as we stepped into another room, and I shrugged, gripping my axe while I looked around. It was a large storage unit, and it dimly illuminated the piles upon piles of boxes in the room.

"A storage room?" I suggested, scanning the boxes surrounding us. My eyes widened when I spotted a door at the far side of the room, and pointed. "I think that's where we need to go!"

"Stop right there."

Boxes to the right of Sanji exploded, and Sanji and I leapt back while Nami, Usopp, and Maxton screamed like a group of little girls.

"Oooh, nice reflexes," a short figure announced with a smirk, appearing from behind another pile of boxes. His eyes landed on me. "Hey, Joe!" he called over his shoulder. "I call the brat with the axe!"

I puffed out my cheeks in indignation. I'm not a brat! And how come I never got to pick who I wanted to fight?!

"Hey, that's not fair!" a voice boomed from the wreckage, and a towering figure appeared with a mace slung over his shoulder. It was Barrel Joe, the guy we saw attacking Maxton the other day.

"Damn right it's not!" Sanji growled, stepping in front of me protectively. "You're not fighting her, you're fighting me!"

"Both of us?" Gonzo asked in confusion, and Sanji nodded stubbornly.

I groaned. "No, I'm helping," I snapped, moving to stand next to the blond chef before he could argue. "I'm not letting you get your ass kicked."

"C'mon, let's keep going," I heard Nami mutter, and before either two men could react, Sanji and I rushed forward into an attack, my axe extended and Sanji rearing back into a devastating kick.

With a pair of curses, they dodged, but we were successful; Nami, Usopp, and Maxton managed to make it across without interference.

"That was low," Gonzo growled, turning his attention back to us from the slamming door, and Sanji shrugged.

"Sorry, but I don't talk to assholes that try to hurt women," Sanji replied simply, and Gonzo's face contorted into an expression of anger. He fell into a defensive position, and easily blocked Sanji's next kick with his forearm.

"Nice try, but not enough," he said, moving to grab Sanji's ankle, but Sanji pulled back in time, and left Gonzo grasping at air.

"Hey, no time to get distracted, little girl," a voice rumbled behind me, and I paled.

"Shit!" I gasped, jerking to the side, and narrowly avoided Joe's spiked mace smashing down where I was originally standing.

"You okay, Hazel?" Sanji called worriedly, and I nodded.

"Y-yeah, I'm fine," I said, before I gripped my axe. I scowled at Joe, and warned him, "Prepare to get your ass kicked."

"Where are we?!" Nami demanded in frustration as she, Maxton, and Usopp continued to run throughout the halls. "I can't find anything in this stupid place!"

"Why don't we split up?" Maxton suggested. "Nami and I need to work on the bomb together, so Usopp, you can just head off by yourself, right?"

Usopp paled dramatically. "U-uh, I d-don't thin-"

"It'll be fine!" Nami interrupted with a glare as they came across a split in the hallway. "Usopp, go!"

"Yes ma'am!" Usopp hastily agreed, hurrying down one hallway while Maxton and Nami headed the opposite way. He then stopped. "Wait, why do I have to…?" he trailed off when he realized that Nami and Maxton had already disappeared, and paled. "Uh, guys?"

When he received no response, he crept forward, and tried to remember what he was supposed to do. They were supposed to get Brisa's fans…right? And disassemble a bomb, but he wasn't planning on doing that at all, nuh-uh.

So he settled on looking for the fans.

"Fans, fans, fans…" Usopp chanted as he ran through the factory halls. He then slowed, looking around furtively before he demanded, "Where is everyone? Shouldn't there be people working here?"

No one answered him, and he shrugged before continuing on, checking each and every room he came across. "Fans, fans, fans…"

Finally, he came across a large, circular room, with a single, large metal ball stationed in the center of it.

Usopp paled, realizing what it was. "A-a b-b-bomb!" he stammered, stepping into the room. He quickly looked around, but he brightened when he saw a small work table, with a pair of black, red, and white fans resting on the top of it. "The fans!"

He raced towards it, but he stumbled suddenly, crash-landing into the ground as his feet got tangled up in…wire?

"Hahahahaha!" A person laughed. "You got caught up in my trap!" A man stepped out of the shadows, short and squat with a rat-like nose and a scruffy, gray mustache.

"T-trap?!" Usopp squawked, struggling to get out of it, and the man laughed again.

"Of course! I am Otto, trap and gadget specialist!" he declared arrogantly. "My traps are the best in the world!"

"I-I gotta get outta here!" Usopp gasped, and he tried to run, but the wire tangled up his legs. "I can't move!"

"Of course you can't!" jeered Otto. "You're in my trap! And now, to get rid of you!"

"Usopp Noise!" Usopp cried frantically, scrambling to plug his ears. He then raked his nails on the metal floor, causing the sound to screech and grind painfully.

"Ahhh! My ears! It just sounds like it hurts!" Otto yelped, covering his ears, but it was no use; the sound seemed to vibrate in his ears, implanting itself into his head. "Stop it!"

"Great, now to get out!" Usopp muttered frantically under his breath, and soon enough, he was racing towards the fans. With one hand, he swiped them up, and cheered, "Got 'em!"

"Why you," growled Otto, moving forward. "Get back here, so I can tear you apart!"

"YAAAAAAA NOOOOOOO!" Usopp screamed, and dashed out of the factory with a dust cloud trailing after him.

"HEY! GET BACK HERE!" the squat man snarled, chasing after him.

"Crap, that almost hit me!" Luffy yelped as he ducked under a beam. "It's not fair that you can shoot lasers! I wanna be able to shoot lasers!"

"Too bad, because I was the one that ate the fruit! Hyaa!" Kiryok swung an arm around as a laser erupted from his hand, and Luffy dodged by flattening himself to the ground.

"No fair," Luffy muttered under his breath again while the beam died out, and Kiryok panted a little from the effort.

"Give up, brat?" he demanded, and Luffy grinned widely.

"Nope!" he declared, before he wrapped his arms around two trees, and began to take several steps back as Kiryok's eyes bugged.

"W-what are you?! Did you eat a Devil Fruit?!" he screeched, and Luffy snickered.

"Of course! I'm a rubber man! I ate the Gomu gomu no mi!" he declared, before he jumped up. His arms snapped back as Luffy unwound them from the trees, and the force of the snap propelled him forward. "Gomu gomu no…ROCKET!"

He slammed headfirst into Kiryok's stomach, causing the man to gasp out and choke as the breath was driven out of his body. However, Luffy began to feel drained the longer he stayed in contact with the man, and quickly extracted himself and jumped away from the energy-user.

"What was that?" he demanded, struggling to keep himself upright, and Kiryok laughed in reply. He gingerly straightened from Luffy's attack, and began to wipe dust off from his suit.

"I'm an energy-user. That means I can take energy from anything…or anyone!" He threw out another laser, and Luffy jumped up above it, before shaking his head as his vision began to swim.

"I need…food…" Luffy panted, landing back down in an ungainly fashion as he searched the forest. "Food…ah hah!" He threw out an arm, seized a bunch of mushrooms, and stuffed them into his mouth. "Yum!"

"What!" snapped Kiryok in shock, but his shock soon faded into confusion when Luffy stilled, his form unmoving. "What's wrong? Did you get scared all of a sudden?"

Luffy didn't reply. Instead, he threw up his arms, and screamed, "RAAAAAAAAHHHHH!" in a bestial manner.

Kiryok's eyes bugged. "Don't tell me you were affected by the mushrooms!" he screeched in both outrage and fear. The single blow Luffy did to him hurt, and he wasn't sure if he could take "Beserker Luffy" on.

Luffy snorted, tossing his head angrily before charging up to Kiryok. "Gomu gomu no…PISTOL!"

Kiryok squeaked at the sudden increase in speed, and ducked as quickly as he could. He could feel the fist brush over the top of his hair, before it snapped back and Luffy prepared for another attack. If he was going to come out of this alive, he needed to attack, now!

"Energy blast!" he cried, slamming both his hands together and sending a large beam of energy at the pirate captain. It slammed into him, sending him crashing through dozens of trees before he stopped, and Kiryok breathed a faint sigh of relief when Luffy didn't get up.

"Good. Now, to collect more energy for the bomb," he murmured, turning back to a healthy tree. He didn't even notice as Luffy slowly stirred, and rose to his feet.

Whoo! Part one of the fights! Lemme tell ya, writing this chapter was the WORST. I had no idea how to write the fight scenes, much less LUFFY'S STUPID STRETCHING ABILITIES GRAAAHHH

Anyways, today, for some reason, Brisa's name kept reminding me of cheese, and now I really want some...not the cheap crap you can get at the grocery story, but really fancy cheese...mmm...

Also, review, leave a comment, leave criticism, let me know of any mistakes, you guys know the drill!

Misc. notes: Luffy ate a type of Psilocybin Mushroom. Most Psilocybin mushrooms tend to produce toxins that trigger hallucinations, and many other adverse side effects. It is actually an active ingredient in a lot of drugs used today, especially drugs that effect serotonin levels in the brain. But considering this is One Piece, I figured I can do whatever the hell I want with some mushrooms, hence Luffy's 'beserker' moment. Also, these mushrooms are also responsible for a lot of the trippy stories we get from those that accidentally eat wild mushrooms. They can also cause nausea, panic attacks, and sometimes even cause the brain to perceive time differently.

Also, for Devil Fruit abilities: Kiryok's name means energy for a reason. His devil fruit powers! I named it the Ki ki no mi, which translates to Energy Energy Fruit (気気の果). Pretty self explanatory. And as for Brisa's, it's the Kaze Kaze no Mi, which translates to Wind Wind Fruit (風風の果).
