I have a question, is there a limit to how many chapters I can have, or how large a fic may be? Another one, is there a big difference between the english manga and the original manga? Anyways here I am, bowing to peer pressure yet again. I believe Pycoa would be pig latin for copy. It's a cute word, I shall take it home and feed it! I thought about having Lily and Makata coming back, but i think maybe that's a sequal thing, if I have a sequal...or the adventures of Makata!
There we were, staring as yet another crew of Davy Jones marched towards us. What number was this? Five, Six? They were easy enough to defeat, but we were getting tired. Zoro was beginning to look bored, while Sanji was getting lazy. I have no idea what was up with Luffy, but I think he's trying to think.
Fighting began again when they were within Ussop's range, and the only thing different this time was the amazing gush of fire that swept across the deck. My thoughts were along the lines of 'What the hey?' and 'Oh sugar.'
In perfect unision the Straw Hats, Robin, James, and myself excluded, yelled 'Ace!' I figured the fire line was no threat, and rejoiced that it wiped out the latest zombie crew. A man emerged from the flames, I thought it looked very cliche' but I suppose the others, Ussop and Chopper, thought it was heroic by the noise they were making.
"Ace!" Luffy yelled again, running to the man. "Save it for later Luffy, I've got business to handle." Ace gave him a very concited pat on the head and continued to 'flame on' or whatever. He turned and faced Davy Jones, who looked amused he probley doesn't get this much.
"Excuse me!" I yelled, and they all turned to me. "What do you think your doing Sparky!?!" I was addressing Ace, though it took him a minute to realize it. "Umm, what does it look like?" I laid my hands on my hips, "He," I motioned to Davy, "was ours, you can't just come in here and act lke you own the world!"
Luffy must of had a 'Hey wait a minute' moment because he piped in with. "She's right, this is our fight!" Ace just shrugged and stepped to the side, "Well, you don't mind a little help from your big brother do you?" I slapped my forehead, leave it to Luffy to not tell me about his big brother.
"Enough with the sap! James, why are you sipping tea?" Sure enough there to my right was James, sipping tes, peach tea from the smell of it. "Ah, yes well, entertainment isn't good without beverages." I sighed, in chorus with Nami I must add, and muttered "Welcome to the crack house may I take your order?"
"Alright! Stop playing games Davy Jones and fight me!" Luffy yelled at the stone faced man, grinning ear-to-ear, and raising his fists. "But I was so enjoying your little dance. Then again I am a busy man, if you aren't giving up I'll just kill you myself." I grinned, finaly. "That's right, momma always said you want it done right you gotta do it yourself!"
"Wise woman." Said Davy and he clapped his hands together. I frowned, standing before me was a copy of Davy Jones. Looking around I saw many copies of Davy Jones, one for each of us. Leaving Luffy with the real thing. "It would be most unfair of me if I didn't give your crew something to do."
Sanji, from somewhere behind me, muttered a string of curses. Ussop may or may not have fainted, and Robin was smiling as if this was some game. "Pycoa fruit, very impressive." She muttered. The fighting began...again. My Davy swung at me, grabbing a hand full of hair and pulling. He pulled it right out too, this means war.
Swinging my leg around and pulling his knees forward, I ripped out some of his hair. "An eye for an eye eh?" I said, stepping on his sword so he couldn't use it. His hand shot up and grabbed my arm, forcing me to make small talk with the deck. Feeling no shame in dirty fighting, I kicked backwards, my foot landing in his family jewels.
I waited a minute but he didn't fall to the ground or even let go of me, he did start laughing though. "Davy doesn't copy useless things like that." Well, sugar. I went with plan B and painfully twisted my arms, so as to face him.
"Hello chap!" I shouted and head butted him. "Why is it that I only seem to hurt myself fighting?" I asked no one, lucky me. James answered "Ah, that would be that your a sissy. Weakest thing I ever did see."
He was just standing there, having no problenm at all with his Davy Jones copy. So I pushed him over, yes I was endangering his life, but it felt good at the time. My copy of the Jonester himself raised himself from the deck, chuckling and smiling like it was christmas.
Suddenly I remembered I had a gun, after mentaly kicking myself and feeling stupid. I shot the copy of Davy in the face. Which is something I never want to do again. "Ewww...so gross." I looked up, feeling even more stupid when I saw that the whole crew, save Luffy, was already done and watching Luffy and Davy fight.
From the looks of it he was just playing with our captin, for a slight moment I wondered why we didn't help. If all of us just jumped in there I'm sure we'd win in no time. I stood inbetween my two favorite people, not, James and Ace. I looked him over one, noticing fo r the first time that he was shirtless.
That's all I needed to know before slowly move towards James, hopeing not to get cooties. I can't believe I didn't notice that till now, I shoke my head and gave the fight my undivided attention. Luffy was trying to turn it around, making what seemed to be carefully planned moves, but we all new he just winged it.
Strange thing was that Davy wasn't fighting back, just dodging. Kinda like... "He's a copy Luffy!" I shouted not thinking, but sure enough we all heard a loud, echoing laugh. The copy Luffy had been fighting, slowly dissappeared. "She's a smart one." We heard, all of our heads almost snapping off as we searched for the source.
"Come out and fight for real you coward!" Luffy was breathing heavily, his shoulders visable moving up and down. "Why would I do that, I'm not suicidal, contrary to what you may of heard." We continued searching, though nothing was visable through the fog. "I fight with clones for a reason, I'm an old man Straw-hat Luffy."
"That's not an excuse!" Luffy started backing up towards us, warry of tricks. "That man, the one who you share the 'D' with, I fought him too. I would've never made it out." I glanced over at Nami, who looked just as confused as me. "Out of what?" My captin asked, raising a hand ot the top of his hat.
"Past is past, none of it matters, just be happy with a 'I would've won' victory." "No, we didn't come all the way here just for this!" Nami's fist were shaking. "You have no idea, how much time this little trip cost us! Time is Money!" I coughed and nudged James gesturing him to try and keep her quiet.
"What about all the legends? Are none of them true?" More laughter echoed around us. "My copy, is of myself when I was younger, memory's of battles burned into my mind. I just use them to generate a new me, and a new crew. It seems that you have worn me out though, few make it to copy's of myself, let alone beat those copys.
"So what, do we just leave?" Ussop seemed to like that ultimative, but I saw Robin frowning. "There's something I want from you, I believe Navigator-san should get free range of your gold too." I heard an unpleasent sound, that might of been surprise and disgust from Davy.
"It's known by those that care, that you had an interest in documents, am I wrong. I want them everything, all of your memory's." It was silent, then he spoke again his voice sad. "That's all I have left, please take all of the gold my swords and guns, just leave me with my memory's."
Just how old was Davy Jones, he must be a million if Robin wants his diary. They were arguing, Robin, Luffy, and Nami. Nami, of course, was over joyed when he offered his treasure. Luffy didn't want to take anything, and Robin wanted the infomation he had collected over his life.
"He could copy them." They turned to stare at me. "It's simple, Davy Jones could copy all of his papers, for you. He'll still have the originals, and Nami can only take what will fit on the ship anyways." They all blinked a few times. "That'll work." Was the melody of answers I recieved.
A hand clamped down on my shoulder. "Luffy got another smart one on his crew did he?" I hissed, "No! I'm stupid, now let go, don't touch me!" I looked him up and down again. "Didn't your mamma every teach you to wear a shirt? If not I'm going to...with the posion Sanji denys he has!"
"I do not have any arsenic hidden in the galley!" I cupped a hand over my mouth and whispered to Ace. "He says that, but can we really trust him?" I raised my eyebrows questionable. "Jenni-chan!" He yelled as a warning. "Ha, you say that but you won't hurt me! I'm a girl."
"Ah, my name is James Andrew, I suppose your Ace? Isn't that an ugly green she has on?" If this were anime I'd have little stressed vein marks coming out of my head. "Yeah, I always thought girls were born with a fashion sence." More veins, I can really feel them too! "So did I, I guess not all of them are born with that gene...unless, Miss Jen, are you realy a girl?"
That's it, James face plantted the deck, and Chopper came running over yelling 'Doctor.' "Uh, I think he was joking." Ace looked back and forth between me and James. "James, never jokes." I glanced over to watch Robin walk towards the galley, arms full of books and stray papers. She looked high, I guess infomation really is a drug, it's hers at least.
Nami looked equal as drunk or high as Robin, and ordered Sanji back to gather more jewels. Most of the crew had already went back to normal activites. Luffy was with Davy, having been the only one he'd see. I'm not sure I really wanted to see Davy Jones, I mean he said the clones were of him when he was younger.
"Hey Zoro," I walked over ot him, he was throwing the dead bodies of Davy's actual crew overboard. "Some of them were real?" I asked, my eyes getting big. "Yeah, though they still sucked at fighting, must be people he uses to go and get food or whatever. He's got to be one ugly bast..." I slapped him when he turned around, cutting off the nauhty word. "Hey!"
"Watch your mouth young man!" He lunged after me but I ran, screaming. He had dead people germs all over his hands. "Oh, Luffy!" I gasped and stopped before plowing over him. "What's wrong." He looked...very un-Luffy-ish. "I had to kill him." He looked up at me, "I couldn't let a man like that live."
Writing fight scenes is so hard for me, but I don't get it. I can imagine it all so perfectly I just can't put it on paper. Will you all forgive me if I don't have any more physical battles, I fight with brains! Yes, I couldn't resist listening to the people and putting Ace in my story. Ever since Noir suggested it I've had an ending planned for if I put him in. Bye now, I'm trying to imagine a high Robin.
