BUCCS WON SUPER BOWL LV! THE TAMPA BAY BUCCS WON!

*Further note: Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged, Super Bowl LV, and my recent acquired One Piece Commission got me through this one. Stay safe and enjoy!*

A titanic ship clashes against the violent weather of the Grand Line Sea, a surging rainstorm pouring down from above and crashing waves all around it as it voyages through the stormy night."Ship's going steady so far Captain, 23 knots an hour still on course." A helmsman says.

"Good, anything on the sonar we gotta worry about?"

"Everything seems dosile so far underneath the water sir woah wait a second something is coming up fast."

Sonar waves crash into the ship and disappear the moment it hits.

"Seems we just had a sudden sonar frequency and just left sir."

"Odd but in this sea we must always expect such things, carry on." The Captain walks off.

*Omega-19, connected.* Mahigo opens her eyes and connects to her boss. *Boss you're good to go.*

*Ahem. YEAAAAAAAAAGGHHH!!!!*

The monsterous scream full awakens Omega-19's consciousness, his eyes snap open bloodshot red. A primal scream comes out as his throat as he unleashes spikes everywhere from his body ripping the straightjacket to shreds.

"Hey! The prisoner is l-URK!" He's cut off as pools of blood gushes across the floor from a metal blade slashed from his neck, collapsing over as blood continues to pour out on the wooden floor.

"Bloodshed it is." Omega-19 menacingly growls, retracting the blade back into his hand and prying open the bars apart.

Perona slowly awakens, fluttering her lashes to see Luffy sleeping right besides her peacefully and the sounds of the monsterous storm outside the window still dark with lightning flashing bright light every few minutes.

*Seems I can't sleep tonight, hollows fetch me a book to read.* Several hollows phase out the room in different directions to go around the ship to find literature for their princess whilst she heads into the bathroom to freshen herself up.

He enters a hallway and begins to walk into it, sending multiple blades flying in and out of each room at fast speeds. Stabbing and slashing at anyone in the rooms young or old with their blood pooling out into the halls.

A hollow phases into a room and grabs a bloodied book, floating away back to it's master several floors up.

Perona brushes her teeth thoroughly in front of the mirror, keeping her smile bright. She wonders how Mihawk is doing and spits into the sink.

Omega-19 rips and tear through everyone with each steps he takes, a waking monster with nothing but serial darkness and monster mentality running his entire being.

Perona stops brushing her hair when she suddenly hears faint sounds of screaming from underneath her. Confused, she puts a piece of her spirit into a hollow to investigate the situation.

It phases down two floors into a hallway covered in fire and blood, the walls and doors filled with holes and slashes all across. She hadn't seen this much blood spilt since Mihawk trained Zoro on his island.

*Found you.* He unleashes a barrage of spikes towards her direction, Perona barely has time to react and jumps outta the way before the spikes obliterate the bathroom floor.

She looks down to see the killer glaring up at her, her back against the ceiling and gritting her teeth at him.

Luffy rushes in and jumps down the hole, Omega-19 backs up to look at the half naked rubber man glaring into his soul enraged.

"DON'T TOUCH HER!" He shouts running at him with haki arms ready to strike at the bladed man.

"DOWNWARDS SCYTHE!" Omega-19 attempts a double bladed strike at him but Luffy grabs both and wrestles with the killer.

"Perona! Make sure everyone else escapes the ship, I can deal with him!" He calls out, the fire around them growing drastically. Perona reluctantly leaves him behind.

"You're a fool still rubber boy!" Two metal insect-like appendages burst outta his back and stab into Luffy's shoulders making him cry out in pain. "I'm your biggest weakness!"

"GOMU GOMU NO-" Luffy extends his head far back, armament haki covering his forehead. "RAM!" He slingshots towards the man's head.

"STEEL BODY!" His entire body turns into solid metal and clashes with Luffy's headbutt attack, both gritting their teeth whilst they slam their heads against each other.

"Sir! Two devil fruit users are destroying the ship, we must evacuate!" A crew member rushes into the bridge.

"What!? We can't evacuate out here, the sea would just consume everyone on the lifeboats! Try to contact any nearby ships at once!"

"Yes sir! All hands on deck!" The First mate runs out to head to the communication room.

A giant black fist shoots out of the side of the ship creating a large hole and whips back through the other side sending Omega-19 flying into the air before sending 100 large sharp appendages stabbing into the ship, stopping his flight.

"SNAKEMAN!!!" Luffy bursts out towards Omega-19 in his Snakeman form ready to throw a fury of punches.

"LUFFY! YOU'RE GONNA DESTROY THE SHIP FASTER IF YOU KEEP FIGHTING YOU IDIOT!!!" Perona cries out against the howling sea.

Everything then goes dark for Luffy after seeing nothing but burning red and Perona crying out his name. He feels weak all over his body, unable to move and can't feel breath in his lungs. He feels himself sinking like a anchor deeper and deeper into the ocean.

"But Shanks...YOUR ARM!"

"It's only a arm Luffy."

He feels a arm before he blacks out completely. A short blond haired woman gasps for air resurfacing above the waves and climbing aboard a colorful ship filled with women.

"Boa Hancock, I got him!" She calls out to her majesty who rushes out into the pouring rain to see the injured and unconscious Luffy limp on the deck.

"Luffy! Quickly get him inside and resuscitate him!"

"Yes Hancock!" She bridal carries him inside her majesty's quarters and begins chest compressions.

"Boa Hancock, we found another one!" Another woman calls out to her, pulling a unconscious woman with pink hair clutching a stuffed bear onto the deck.

*That woman!* Boa Hancock recognizes Perona as the woman who helped Luffy and her during the 2 years she spent with him. *Why is she here with Luffy!? Oh don't tell me he's been cheating on me with her of all women!?*

"Um Hancock?" The woman asks waiting for a answer awkwardly.

"If she's with Luffy then she can stay for now." She says, adding a bit of venom in her tone at the last part.

The short blonde haired woman comes back out and Boa Hancock pulls her aside.

"Marguerite, I want everyone to keep an eye out on that woman. I sense she might be trying to take Luffy away from my love." She gives a serious look at her, getting the point dead across.

"Boa Hancock, you have any idea why Luffy has been go this long?"

"My guess, she probably is definitely behind Luffy-Kun's disappearance."

"Yes Princess." Marguerite nods and heads back inside to check up on Luffy's situation.

Marguerite watches on as they bandage up Luffy's numerous stab and slash wounds across his body, she was impressed once more at how durable he was happy to see him after 3 years since his stay in Amazon Lily.

"An...Angel?" Luffy asks half-awake, wondering if his eyes deceived him as he looks at a tall beautiful woman with black hair smooth as silk and piercing blue eyes looking love struck at him along with a colorful snake around her.

"Yes! It's me Luffy my love, I managed to rescue you from the drowning abyss from the sea OH LUFFY!" She blushes vividly, acting like a Japanese school girl with a crush as she swoons for the rubber man. "Luffy-Baby, will you-"

"HEY!" Perona shouts by the entrance of the room visibly pissed off with guards around her on the floor depressed with Hollows dancing over them. "WHO TOOK MY KUMASHI!?"

*Does she mean that disgusting looking bear doll she was carrying around? She literally put my guards into a state of depression over a disgusting doll? Pathetic.* Boa gives a look of disgust at her and scoffs.

"Are you referring to this...thing?" Boa cringes at the bear she dangles by her fingertips at Perona. *I was hoping to throw it out sooner.*

"Oh Princess Perona, you're alright!" He looks up and smiles brightly at her, a weight of relief set free off him.

*PRINCESS!?* Boa jerked back in shock, was Luffy secretly seeing this woman after all? Her overwhelming jealousy couldn't believe Luffy was cheating on her and began putting mental visuals of it.

"Perona my long distance love, be my queen of the pirates!"

"Oh Luffy I shall!" Perona swoons into his arms and the two begin passionately smooching each other's lips.

Boa shakes the image outta her head and frowns at the Ghost Princess, plotting to get rid of her outta the picture.

"A princess? I didn't realize we had other royalty within my ship besides me." Boa said with her compose back, trying not to make a scene in front of Luffy.

"Gimme back my Kumashi Boa Hancock!" Perona ignored her response.

*Little Shit.* Boa took a breath and tosses the bear to her to which she gripped the bear tightly in her arms with a smile.

"Thank you for helping us Princess Hancock!" Luffy smiles, oblivious to the tension.

"Oh Luffy don't be so formal you can call me Boa!" She blushes over him again.

Perona looked on with a blank expression, clenching her fist but remained still as a statue. She felt something wrong with this whole situation, she couldn't leave Luffy alone with the Empress of Amazon at any cost and she knew it was the same situation on Hancock's side.

"Oh, you can leave now." Boa turned to her with a smug look and Perona immediately got heated up, stepping her foot down with a enraged face.

"Hey! How about you try and make me you bimbo cougar!" She shouts and everyone around the vicinity goes in shock expect Boa Hancock who smiles and gets up from Luffy's side.

"Hey Perona that's unnecessary." Luffy tries to calm down the situation before it gets worse but is stopped by Boa's hand.

"No Luffy, I can handle this young floozy." She turns to Perona with a anticipating smirk and raises her hands into a heart formation.

"Mero Mero Mellow!" A beam of hearts goes flying straight at Perona till a speeding arm slams into her gut before the beam struck her causing her to reel back in pain and cough out vomit.

Hancock and the other women in the room looking back at Luffy who had a menacing aura emitting from him that froze up everyone including Boa, as if she saw the face of a demon of the seas.

"Luffy! I-I-I was only trying to teach her a lesson!" She nervously shuddered and stepped back but Luffy gripped her wrist tightly making her wince.

"You ever try that again, I won't give you a warning next time." His serious tone came out, his enraged eyes in a trance like state as they glared into her soul and he releases her wrist.

Hancock rubbed her wrist, looking at Luffy bewildered with questions as to why he attacked her in such a terrifying manner. The other women didn't want to do anything in case Luffy decided to attack them.

He walks over to Perona and gently helped her up as she wiped her mouth from any vomit on it.

"Sorry I had to hit you Perona-Chan, that attack won't do anything if you're focused on pain." He gently tells her as her glare turns into a sigh.

"Thanks Luffy, I'll forgive you this once for that but holy shit that hurt." She hugs her gut, hoping it didn't leave a bruise.

"Miss Hancock, I thank your ship and crew for rescuing us from the sea but I think the two of us would like some privacy now." He gave held Perona close to his side as he gave Hancock a stern look.

"Of course Luffy-Kun." She nodded quietly as the two devil fruit users left the room leaving Boa Hancock with a shadow across her face and a bunch of nervous female warriors unsure what to do at the moment.

"Hancock?" Marguerite quietly speaks up.

"JUST...just keep a eye out that's all for now, leave." She leaves the room with her snake.

"Luffy, how did you know to even prevent that attack from working?" Perona asks as they walk to their room.

"Honestly I don't know, it was a sudden feeling the moment I saw her make the movement for the attack. I honestly don't know what's her problem but it seems she is quite fond of me."

"Yeah, a real loving woman she is." Perona sarcastically scoffs.

"Hm, she was gonna ask me something before you came into the room."

"Couldn't even guess why or what one of the warlords of the sea wants to ask you."

"Hey what even happened to the rest of the people on that ship?"

"Oh, while you were fighting blindly a Marine Fleet was nearby with a admiral looking guy with pink hair showed up to save them.

Luffy's eyes open wide, having a recognition of the description of the rear admiral. He suddenly gets a glimpse of memory seeing a boy in glasses.

"Luffy, I'm gonna become a Marine!""Hey! I think I remember that guy! Do you know his name by any chance?"

"Hmm, I believe it was Rear Admiral Coby. Read about him once in the paper."

"Coby...COBY!" Luffy exclaims in joy, remembering the young timid boy with glasses wanting to be a Marine years ago.

"Perona! I remember Coby!" He grabs her arms and shakes her with excitement, smiling widely.

"Gah! That's nice and all but stop shaking me before I hurl more!"

"Wow, so he really became a Rear Admiral. Honestly I can't believe he rose up the ranks so fast in such short time."

"Your Grandfather trained him and some other guy too, probably explains that." Perona shrugs as the two sit down in the hallway.

"Gigi Garp huh? Yeah that explains it, course he probably didn't go easy on them." He chuckles, looking up thinking about the intensive training Garp would bestow upon Ace and him as kids.

"Say Luffy, I'm sorry you had to remember about Ace's-"

"No. No I have to thank you for that Princess, I might've found out eventually but knowing someone or something took away something important like that to me no matter how much it hurts is unforgivable. Wasn't for Ace's sacrifice I wouldn't have met you again regarding the circumstances. Thank you." He smiles at her and she smiles back.

A end of a adventurous day and into the next new one!
