I'm going to skip a few days.
On Sabaody
"Captain, do you think the Straw Hats are alright?" Bepo asked Law. "No idea. They could have disbanded. I highly doubt Mugiwara-ya could survive." Law replied. He walked into a bar and saw Basil Hawkins, his crew sitting at one of the tables, staring at his cards.
"If it isn't Trafalgar Law, one of the big shot rookies, with a bounty of two hundred million Beris. My cards have fortold that I will be seeing you today." Hawkins said, without looking up from his cards.
"So, Basil Hawkins, the two hundred and nine million Beri bountry rookie." Law walked up to him and grinned, "Mind answering something?" "Depends on what it is." Hawkins looked away from his cards to watch Law. Grinning even wider, Law asked, "What are the chances of Straw Hat Luffy surviving now?"
"That I can answer." Hawkins shuffled his cards and used his Devil Fruit Ability to hold them up. "Hmm. This is interesting." He shuffled the cards and looked at them a few more times before saying, "Perculiar. Straw Hat Luffy's chances of survival. No matter how I look at it, it won't fall to zero. Straw Hat Luffy surviving : Probability of success, 0.0000000000001 percent."
"That's very low, Captain. How many zeros were there?" Shachi said. "00000000….Arg too many!" Penguin tried to count the number of zero's Hawkins had stated, but gave up."So, he's still alive now …" Law muttered.
On the Sunny
It was roughly four days after Luffy was rescued from the volcano. He still needed the machines help to breath and to keep his heart beating. His ruptured stomach had somewhat healed, but he was still very pale. It was currently Robin's turn to keep watch over her captain. Stroking his hair away from his face, she smiled sadly. Chopper entered the room to check on Luffy. "How's he faring, Doctor-san?" she asked.
"Same as before." Chopper sighed. "I know he's fighting for his life, but for him, it's probably torture. All the seastone seeped into his wounds, and I can't get rid of it without putting even more strain on his weak body. Also, as time goes on, the risk of him dying also increases."
"Come on, Doctor-san. Luffy'll be alright. Let's go for lunch. The alarm will sound right?" Robin smiled. She had taken a liking to the small reindeer, and really, a frown didn't suit Chopper's face. She grabbed him and carried him out of the infirmary.
The Straw Hats, minus their captain of course, were sitting on the deck of the Sunny, quietly eating their lunch. Without Luffy stealing their food, they ate relatively slowly. No one was talking. No one wanted to bring up their captain. They knew that Luffy was alive, but to see him lying lifelessly in the infirmary, like he was dead, so different from his normal, hyperactive self, scared them.
"My my. Someone looks very sad." A voice was heard from the port. All the heads on board the Sunny turned to look at the speaker. "Kagaku." Zoro hissed. "Ah. You still remember me. How nice." Kagaku laughed. Unsheathing Shushui, Zoro stood up and pointed his sword at him, "What do you want?"
"Nothing." Kagaku said in a sickly-sweet voice. "But that doesn't mean my comrade's don't want anything." He continued, as Kori and Yukai snuck up behind the Straw Hats. "We want revenge." Kori whispered in Zoro's ear, before grabbing Zoro's remaining swords and gutting him. "Damn you." Zoro gritted his teeth as he fell of the deck and onto the port.
The remaining Straw Hats' eyes widened. How did she get there with no one noticing? Went though everyone's mind. "Kori's a trained assasin. Of course she'll be able to sneak up on people. And after distracting you, it's a piece of cake for you." Yukai said, tying up Sanji's legs and tossing him in front of Kagaku.
The rest of the crew were very frightened. "They just took out Sanji and Zoro with no problem…." Nami couldn't continue. Even after sustaining a lot of damage from their previous fights, as well as his encounter with Kuma on Thriller Bark, Zoro and Sanji weren't ones that went down easily. But here, they were just handled like amateurs.
"Hey. If you want a fight, let's take it to the island. Don't damage our SUPER ship." Franky yelled. Kagaku shrugged and thought, It's not like they have any advantage on land. After all the Straw Hats got off the Sunny, Yukai and Kori went to stand by their boss's side. "So, how are you going to beat us? All three of your strongest fighters are down." He asked. "Like this!" Nami quickly put her Climatact together and made black clouds appear. Yukai and Kori quickly stepped away from the thunder clouds, but Kagaku remained standing.
"Thunderbolt Tempo!" Nami yelled. Kagaku transformed into his hybrid form and stuck his claws into the ground. The lightning hit him, but didn't do much as the electricity was redirected to the ground through his claws.
"No way…." Nami stuttered. "Hmmm. That was interesting, little girl." Kagaku smirked. "Firebird Star!" Usopp launched a fiery pellet at Kagaku, but it was instantly knocked away by Yukai. Franky tried to use his Strong Right, but Kagaku changed to his Beast Form, a large porkupine, grabbed his extended arm and threw him into a house. "Clutch!" Robin said as she attempted to break Yukai's spine, but Kori promptly stabbed one of her hands as they grew out. "Hanauta Sancho: Yahazu Giri (Three-Verse Humming: Arrow-Notch Slash)" Brook said, but his sword was stopped by Yukai.
"You can't handle even on of us, let alone all three." Kagaku sneered. Going back to his Hybrid form, he lunged, slashing the Straw Hat pirates with his spines. They refused to even let a scream escape their lips.
"You guys are pretty good." Yukai grinned. "Kori." Said blonde nodded, and used a bunch of chains to tie the Straw Hat's minus the "Monster Trio" up. "Don't bother trying to use your Devil fruit powers. It's seastone." Zoro was tied up and tugged to in front of Kagaku. "Damn you", he muttered. He hated being tied up. He and Sanji was already immobilized.
"Let us go, asshole!" Chopper yelled.
"Hahahahaha!" Kagaku laughed. "I told you, without your so-called 'Monster Trio', you stand no chance of defeating us. And yet you go? You are one of the most troublesome rookie crews on the Grand Line, and you think I'll let you go? I'll just turn you in to the Headquarters, and get a Promotion!" He continued, "Maybe after that I'll just ask them if I can continue experimenting. After all, Straw Hat was a good test subject, but there are three more Devil Fruit users here!"
"BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!"
In the infirmary
Luffy POV
Where am I? I can't see anything. My eyes are closed? Weird. Usually my eyes would open automatically when I'm awake. Well, whatever. I'm trying to open my eyes, but I can't. I'm confused.
I'm tired. I want to sleep.
I sense two people beside me. I heard one of them speak. "How's he faring, Doctor-san?" That's Robin! That mean's I'm on the Sunny. I want to ask her why my eyes won't open. Huh? My mouth doesn't work either.
"Same as before. I know he's fighting for his life, but for him, it's probably torture. All the seastone seeped into his wounds, and I can't get rid of it without putting even more strain on his weak body." No shit, Chopper. I can't move an inch. Wait. I'm on the Sunny, so that must mean that I have successfully saved my nakama.
"Come on, Doctor-san. Luffy'll be alright. Let's go for lunch. The alarm will sound right?"Lunch? Come on. I want to eat meat. How long was I since I last ate? Hmmmm…..Oh, yeah! It was when I was with Torao in that cell! I hope he's alright, with that leg.
Where the hell is everyone. I can't move. I feel weak. How long has passed. When can I eat? I feel weird. I feel that someone or something is forcing my heart to beat, and forcing me to breathe. Never mind. Since I can't move, I'll just rest.
"Hey. If you want a fight, let's take it to the island. Don't damage our SUPER ship."
What the hell? Who was that? Who woke me? Wait, they're fighting without me? No fair! I wan't to fight…..oh wait, I can't move. I want to pout, but my body still wouldn't respond.
"Thunderbolt Tempo!"Ah. That' Nami. That should finish the fight. Lightning does that. Unless the defender is me. I'm rubber. "Firebird Star!" Nami's lightning didn't finish them? Must be a lot of opponents. Usopp's ammo is awesome. "Clutch!" Firebird Star wasn't enough? Robin! Break their spines! "Hanauta Sancho: Yahazu Giri"Go get them, Brook!After a while, I hear Copper cry out,"Let us go, asshole!"
Chopper! What happened to them? They got caught? Where is Sanji and Zoro?
"Hahahahaha!" Damn it. I know that voice. "I told you, without your so-called 'Monster Trio', you stand no chance of defeating us." What? Zoro and Sanji were defeated already? "And let you go? You are one of the most troublesome rookie crews on the Grand Line, and you think I'll let you go? I'll just turn you in to the Headquarters, and get a Promotion!" Chopper's right. You're an asshole. "Maybe after that I'll just ask them if I can continue experimenting. After all, Straw Hat was a good test subject, but there are three more Devil Fruit users here!" Don't you dare! Their my nakama, Kagaku! Damn you!
Then I felt it something in my chest.
Thump.
Normal POV
Luffy felt something. He felt his heart beating on it's own. He slowly opened his eyes. What is this thing covering my mouth? Luffy thought. He reached out to it and tugged it off. He tried to sit up, but found it very tiring. Whatever. I need to save my nakama. Seeing two patches on his chest, he tore them off and walked outside, using the walls for support.
The alarms started blaring.
On the port
Everyone was staring at the ship. "No! Luffy!" Chopper yelled. "What's going on?" Kagaku demanded. "Luffy….." Usopp let tears run down his face, "Why of all times?!" The rest of the crew just let tears run down their face. "Now your captain is dead? That's fine. I can bring his dead body in too. We can also go collect his Gomu Gomu no Mi!"
Kagaku laughed in the faces of the greiving crew. "Let's finish the deaths of the "Monster Trio", shall we?" He raised his claws, and stood over Zoro and Sanji.
Unbeknown to them, a pair of eyes was watching from the ship.
On the Sunny
How dare he laugh at my nakama for crying? And he wants to kill Zoro and Sanji! Luffy seethed. I see porkipine, the black guy and the woman. I need to go all out. Crouching down, Luffy went into his horse stance and said, "Gear Second."
On the port
"Gear Second."
The voice was faint, like whispers in the wind. Yet everyone heard the voice. "Gomu Gomu no Jet Pistol!" Shocked, Kagaku took the attack to the stomach, sending him back a few meters.
"What?" The Straw Hat's eye's widened in surprise. But how? Wasn't he dead? ran through their minds.
Luffy jumped down from the Sunny and landed in front of the tied up Straw Hats, his body emitting steam. He stretched his arms forwards and dragged the tied up Sanji and Zoro towards the rest of the group. He walked forward, and stood in front of Kagaku, "What? Your alive? And you can use your Devil Fruit power?"
"Gomu Gomu no Jet Gatling." Luffy sent a barrage of hits at Kagaku, pushing him even further back, away from his crew. "Luffy, you can't keep this up! Gear Second drains your energy even more quickly than usual, and you don't have much to spare!" Chopper shrieked.
Kagaku was continously pushed back. "Gomu Gomu no Jet Bazooka!" Luffy sent Kagaku flying into the forest. "We'll take you on!" Yukai sneered as he and Kori attacked him from behind. "Behind you!" Nami yelled. Without looking back, Luffy used the backlash from his Gomu Gomu no Jet Bazooka to hit both of them.
"Damn you!" Yukai yelled as he stood back up. "I can see the future! I know you are going to – " He was cut off as Luffy used Gomu Gomu no Jet Rocket, and sent him flying into a tree. "But how?" Yukai asked as he spat out blood. "So what if you can see the future? You're too slow." Luffy glanced at him.
"Totally burnt, bro!" Franky cheered.
At the corner of his eye, he spot Kori sneaking up on his crew. Whirling around, he roared, grabbed her by the neck and pulled her towards him. "Gomu Gomu no Jet Gatling!" He growled and pummelled her to the ground. "Don't hurt my nakama! "Gomu Gomu no Jet Bazooka!" He then sent her flying into tree on the other side of the village. She smacked into the tree and the momentum from Luffy's attack send he crashing into more trees. And there she lay, broken and bleeding, and not breathing.
"Did Luffy just kill someone?" Usopp asked, "No one could survive that." "It was her life or ours." Robin said. "She was sneaking up on us, and if Luffy didn't pull her away, she could have decapitated us." "Robin…please…..stop saying …things like that." Usopp stammered as he shivered, his imagination going wild over Robin's words.
"Straw Hat! I'll kill you for killing my colleague! Demon Haidora!" Yukai yelled, then prepared himself to turn, "You're going to disappear and hit me – " "Gomu Gomu no Jet Bazooka!" Luffy disappeared and reappeared beside Yukai, and sent him flying and crashing into Kagaku.
"You killed my comrade. To avenge her, I'll kill you!" Kagaku roared and charged, throwing Yukai off him. Luffy simply sidestepped his attempts to run his through. "Arg! Akuma no Tsubasa!" Luffy had to jump to dodge the flying attack, before realising that Kagaku had shot a bunch of spines at his tied up crew, "Die, Straw Hats. Quill Arrows!" The Straw Hats all closed their eyes and prepared for their death.
Luffy immediately grabbed a house and propelled himself forwards, landing in front of his nakama as the spines were about to hit them. "Urg…." He grunted. Hearing him, his crew opened their eyes and stared at their captain. The spines had completely gone through him, leaving the spiked ends sticking out of his back. Blood ran down his body as he grasped one of them.
"Don't hurt my nakama. I'm your opponent." Luffy growled and wrenched the spine out of him. One by one, he removed the spikes from his body, and one by one, his injuried bled. "Gomu Gomu no Jet Bazooka!" He sent Kagaku crashing into a house, that was thankfully empty.
Grunting and panting, Luffy stood, protecting his nakama. Seeing as Kagaku wasn't getting up, and Yukai had gone to check on his condition, he grabbed his crew and brought them closer inland.
"Urg. Straw Hat! Die!" Both Kagaku and Yukai immediately charged at him. "Dakudoragon (Dark Dragon)!" "Tsume no Yari!" Luffy braced himself as his attackers lunged at him. Growling, Luffy took the attacks. "Luffy!" His crew cried out.
Both Yukai and Kagaku rammed their blades and claws into Luffy's chest. "You're dead, Straw Hat." They took their weapons (and claws) out of Luffy, before staring at him. His blood was silvery red. "He was fighting with seastone in his blood?" Kagaku exclaimed in shock. Terrified at the rubber man, they started backing away.
Ignoring the pain, Luffy grinned and yelled, "Gomu Gomu no Jet Bazooka!" and sent the two marines flying into the sea.
Ignoring the two drowning Devil Fruit users, Luffy walked up to Kori and searched her clothes, finding the key to the chains. He went back to his nakama, and unlocked the chains.
"Thanks, Lu – " Nami was cut off as Luffy collapsed on the ground, trembling and panting, the reddish sheen on his skin disappearing. "Luffy!" Chopper yelled and went to check on his captain. Sighing, he said, "He's fine. Just need to patch up his chest – " "Wait Chopper," Luffy gasped, and tried to stand, "Stay down Luffy." Zoro, who was untied by Nami, said. "No. I need to get the seastone out of my body. It makes me heavier and slower." The Straw Hat's blinked. "You can move faster?" They yelled at their captain. "But you're already so fast! Like ZOOM!" Chopper tried to explain, but Luffy still went into his horse stance.
"Gear Second." Luffy mumbled, and the reddish tint on his skin appeared. More silvery red blood poured out from his wounds non-stop, until it finally became pure red again. "It's all out Luffy." Chopper said. "Hey...Chopper...how's...Torao?" Luffy gasped as he panted, blood pooling around him. "If you're talking about Law, he just has a badly hurt knee. Now stop worrying about others, you idiot." Chopper said. "That's...good..." Luffy finished as he smiled and slumped onto the ground, going still once again.
Going into his Heavy Point, Chopper grabbed the limp but definitely alive Luffy and carried him to the infirmary. The rest of the Straw Hats looked at each other and smiled. Their captain was alive, and not on the brink of death.
I don't know if he could actually use his spines to redirect the electricity. Also I realise I use Usopp's Firebird Star way to often.
Note – Basil Hawkins' Devil Fruit ability is the Voodoo dolls. In the anime, he holds up his cards with straw.
As for this - 0.0000000000001%...I dunno. I want to exaggerate it a bit. And then write the supernovas expressions when they see Luffy. And I copied that line from when he was checking Luffy's fate during the Marineford war.
I'm so happy. When I thought of this Yukai character, I was like - Damn. I so want Luffy to use Gear Second to kick his ass. Kind of like against Boa Sandersonia in Amazon Lily.
I killed off three marines. Yay. Please note that while Luffy did kill them, he only did so because they threatened his crew, but I'll say he overdid it. And he didn't exactly kill Kagaku and Yukai. They drowned. Luffy would still be that happy-go-lucky, carefree rubber man that we have known. He will never kill on purpose.
