Now let's start this great arc. I mean I have been waiting for a full year to get to this. I still think that I good choice of starting with the Davy Back Fight because it would help the Straw Hats to have some time to chill with the crew. Now, that they are all full Straw Hats they are going to be part of the big points that Water Seven and Ennis Lobby have, which is a lot. So, lets start this big arc.
The crew soon went towards the tower. All forward to ask what is the next destination and what they should do next.
''Hey, I think I see some people.'' Said Happy looking from a far distance.
''Do you think is the security of this place?" Asked Zoro.
''yes, I guess so.'' Said Happy not sure.
''So that must mean we are going to get into some trouble.'' Said Usopp.
''Oh yeah! Time to start fighting.'' Said Natsu.
''Be sure to left something for me.'' Said Gray.
Before the Straw Hats could say anything, they heard only one voice coming from the tower, and it was from an old lady, a pretty drunk one.
''Hello! Wel..co..hic, to…what I was gonna say again? I forgot Ha Ha.'' Said the old lady.
''is she drunk?" Thought most of the crew.
At first, they thought they were going to see some group that was going to fight them because they are pirates, but no. Inteasd they see a drunk old lady, a little girl and…a cat or rabbit?
''I´m chimney, this is my grandmother Kokoro!'' Said Chimney while eating some Paille offered by Sanji.
''Hello.'' Said Kokoro super drunk.
''And this is my cat Gonbe.'' Said Chimney.
''Meow.'' Said Gonbe.
''that's a rabbit.'' Said Charla.
Soon the crew started to present themselves to the little group.
''I´m Luffy, future pirate king.''
''And I'm Natsu. Awesome fighter and best buds with the pirate king.''
''Really? That's so cool!' Said Chimney.
''Ha, you kids are funny.'' Said Kokoro.
''We know!'' Said the duo.
The drunk lady had a good laugh with Natsu and Luffy, meanwhile Lucy decided to ask Chimney about that strange train that they saw.
''So, Chimney, can you explain to us how did that train managed to road in the waters?" Asked Lucy
''Yes! We want to know what is that thing.'' Asked Nami.
''Oh that's is the sea train. Also knows as the Puffing Tom.'' Said Chimney.
''Puffing tom?" Asked the crew.
''Yes, it is the only place that you will ever find a train like this. It uses a stream engine to rotate the paddles over the tracks!'' Said Chimney.
''So, there are tracks on the sea?'' Asked Lisanna in shock.
''No way! Is not possible, I am going to destroy them before they can harm me!'' Scream Natsu all fired up, but Erza soon punches him in the head.
POW
''don't waste your time. Plus, water and metal against fire?'' Said Erza.
''Really? So this entire ocean has tracks build down?' Asked Laxus.
''Yes, they run just below the surface of the water. The train circles through the same places every day, taking riders from island to island. It even hauls boats and delivers mails. It would be awesome best to keep your ship far away from them.'' Said Chimney explaining the whole thing to the crew. While this was cool, they also had another question in mind.
''By the way do you know something about a weird frog that was swimming toward the front?" Asked Mirajane.
''Yes, we wanted to cook him, but he tried to kill himself by jumping in front of the train.'' Said Luffy.
''Oh Yokozuna? He causes a lot of troubles here at shift Station. He wants to test his strength and always tries to defeat the sea train. That hit wasn't enough to him so I bet he will be back.'' Said Chimney explaining the situation to the crew that was shocked.
''Wow, so the frog actually has morals and wanted to test his powers. Deep respect I have for him now.'' Said Gildarts.
''Hey Luffy, how about we ask Yokozuna to join the crew?" Asked Natsu
''Sure! He would be an awesome fighter!'' Said Luffy all excited.
''We are not putting that frog on the crew!' Scream Lucy.
''don't even bother with this, it happens at every island.'' Said Usopp.
''Wow, so the frog actually like to test his strength against the train?" Asked Wendy.
''yes! But is a pain for us, the real guard keeps getting broken, we always have to keep fixing every time. Plus, our customers get scared when they see him.'' Said Chimney.
''So…where are you all heading now? Sorry for asking, but the train will appear here real soon. We can take to you kids all sort of places.'' Said Granny Kokoro.
''I don't know. We are with no destination at the moment. Hey old woman do you mind…'' Said Cana asking if Kokoro would finish that bottle.
''Here darling.'' Said Kokoro tossing a bottle of wine.
''Thanks.'' Said Cana sharing a drink with Kokoro
''So, you guys have no idea or any clues of where to go?" Asked Chimney.
''We have a ship; we don't need the train. But she is not in best conditions, we need to find a carpenter.'' Said Nami.
''Well girl I might have a suggestion for you…'' Said Kokoro with a laugh.
Kokoro soon explain to the gang about the famous city of water, Water Seven. A place knows for having the best shipwrights and carpenters of the world. Not only in ships, but buildings, industry and all sorts of projects, that city had it all. Kokoro words were like a charm for the crew, every time she gives something about that city, the crew wanted to hear more. After that whole speech, Luffy had a huge smile on his face.
''Guys!'' Scream him.
''Yeah?'!'' Scream the crew all excited.
''Alright, its decided! We are going to the city of water, and we will find a carpenter to join our crew!'' Scream Luffy.
The crew soon busted into a cheerful stand and proudly proclaimed:
''Sure captain!'' Scream everyone.
Soon the crew part ways, Kokoro even gave them a map drawn by her to help in their quest. So after preparing the sails, saying goodbye to Kokoro, Chimney and Gonbe they were all ready to leave.
''Where are we going?!'' Asked Usopp to the crew.
''To the city of Water!" Scream Natsu, Luffy, Happy, Wendy and Chopper all excited.
''YEAH!'' Scream Usopp brining the cheerfull at everybody.
''OK, I guess this our destination. Does this happen often?" Asked Erza to Zoro.
''Yes, usually we go to a new location once we find something interesting or we are bored. It's the first time we go to get someone.'' Said Zoro.
''Oh yes, a new person joining here. It will be interesting.'' Said Lily with an idea who could handle this crew.
''New crew members, this will be cool.'' Said Wendy all excited.
''They might as well be like getting new Fairy Tail members.'' Said Makarov.
'That's the beauty of being a pirate, we get to meet all kind of people on the way of our travels. Even if they aren't our crewmates, they are still part of the crew in heart.'' Said Chopper.
''Hey luffy, if we get a carpet make sure that she is a real beauty. It would be good for the girls to get another friend.'' Said Sanji with a smile.
''And they must with huge knockers.'' Said Gildarts with a pervert smile.
''Are you all idiots? We are talking about a carpenter here. I want him to be a mountain of a man, five feet tall and that it could look like he could eat both Laxus and Elfman!'' Scream Luffy.
''Why it has to eat us?" Asked Laxus and Elfman all confused.
''that's horrifying!" Said Lisanna.
''Can he even if fit in this ship?" Asked Usopp
''Anyone will do, as long they are skilled. The real problem is whether we can find anyone crazy enough to join a pirate ship. At least at the likes of us.'' Said Zoro.
''Zoro is correct, even if we don't mean threats or problems, we are still seen as criminals.'' Said Erza.
''I´m so excited, we are gonna have a new shipmate.'' Said Chopper.
''Yes, I can't wait to meet him or her.'' Said Wendy.
''make sure to know if they aren't trouble.'' Said Charla.
''Hey Nami, do you know the way to go?" Asked Lucy.
''don't worry, we have the drawn map that Kokoro made for us. We have to go to the stop marked and find a guy named Iceberg.'' Said Nami opening the map.
However, the map was like a little kid drawing. The mark to find Iceberg only said around here, on the back side. Also, with them not knowing how big Water Seven was this could take forever. Needless to say, this really made the two girls angry.
''like´s that's gonna help!'' Scream Nami tossing the map at the ocean.
''We received that map from a drunk old lady! Of course is nothing!'' Scream Lucy all mad too.
''Hey guys, what do you think? This is my image of the perfect guy to join our crew.'' Said Luffy showing the drawing of the shipwright that he always imagined.
The crew took a look of the drawing, and they were horrified by that.
'What in the world?" Asked Gajeel.
''He looks awesome!'' Scream Natsu.
''If I saw someone like him, I would run away.'' Said Usopp.
''Me too.'' Said Sanji, Gajeel, Freed, Bickslow and Lily.
''What? Why are all like that? Should we give this huge guy a change?' Asked Natsu.
''Only a brain dead like you would take someone so horrifying to join the crew.'' Said Gray.
''Yes, besides you only want to challenge him into battles. Don't waste your time.'' Said Laxus.
''But if he is a real man than we must give him a chance!' Scream Elfman.
''Yes, whatever kind of person that is going to be our carpenter we need to show him or her hospitality.'' Said Mirajane.
''I can't wait to get to know our new crewmember.'' Said Freed.
''imagine how cool he or she will be.'' Said Bickslow.
''A real beef cake I hope so.'' Said Evergreen.
''And hope to the gods that he knows how to make a wine house.'' Said Cana.
''Yes, I need a storage for all the booze.'' Said Makarov.
''Juvia would like a room just for her and Gray-sama.'' Said Juvia hugging Gray.
''Aaaah, leave me alone!'' Scream Gray trying to ran away from Juvia.
The crew interactions were crazy as always, but for some reason it was giving a huge smile to Robin. The cool and calm member of this crazy ship was having joy in watching her crewmembers acting like crazy. You would think she will find this annoying, but she was liking.
''Hey Robin, are you ok?" Asked Wendy.
''don't worry Wendy, I am just enjoying the moment.'' Said Robin patting the girl in the head.
''Ok.'' Said Wendy.
Robin just smile at the cute little girl, it would be a little dangerous to have a little girl hanging around with powerful people and pirates, but she was in her natural habitat, just like her.
The crew soon started to calm down with all the noise and chill a little bit. For some reason, Usopp started to hug the mest.
''Usopp what are you doing?" Asked Luffy.
''This patchwork of tin plates holds the memory of our battles and adventures. The thought she gonna get fixed up all nice and pretty stirs up a lot of strong feelings for me.'' Said Usopp hugging it out the mest.
''So, you are gonna be sad once they fix those damages?" Asked Gray.
''Yes, I have that level of respect and love for this ship.' Said Usopp.
'Wow, this is so hardcore Usopp.'' Said Natsu.
''This natural.'' Said Erza.
''Of course, he got this ship from the girl he likes.'' Said Zoro.
''I knowhow you feel. Especially since we entered the grand line, plus with all of our new members she is going to get a lot of more damages.'' Said Sanji.
''If we ignore them, it'll put us and the ship in dangers. At any time, this thing can be split in half.'' Said Gildarts.
''Usopp-kun is just worried. Juvia get that.'' Said Juvia.
''When we get there, we will fix this ship and make her more beautiful than she ever was.'' Said Gajeel.
''how many times I have to say that the Merry is already perfect!'' Scream Usopp.
''I don't know. Maybe we you marry her?" Asked Gray with a smile.
Nami and the other girls only laughs of that.
''You don't know what is to care for something that much Gray. Also, you are just in underwear.' Said Usopp.
''Oh come on!'' Scream Gray.
''Ok, sorry Usopp.'' Said Lucy.
While the crew was just goofing off and laughing at Gray expenses, soon Freed spot something.
''Hey I see something.'' Said Freed.
''What is Freed?" Asked Luffy
''I think is the city.'' Said Freed.
Freed words soon made everyone freak out and wander what could look like.
''Hey Freed, how is the city?" Asked Laxus
''Its…beautiful.'' Said Freed in tears.
Soon they got closer and closer to the city. It was getting near.
The City of Water was soon in front of the Straw Hats and all of them had amazing reactions.
''…'' Said Usopp with no words.
''Woah.'' Said Luffy, Natsu, Happy and Wendy.
''Pretty.'' Said Robin, Juvia, Lisanna, Mirajane and Elfman.
''Majestic.'' Said Makarov, Gildarts, Freed, Evergeen and Bickslow.
''Cool.'' Said Zoro, Gajeel and Gray.
''I can't…'' Said Lucy.
''Oh my…'' Said Cana.
''Amazing!'' Said Nami.
''Oh…'' Said Sanji.
''How…'' Said Chopper and Charla.
The crew overhaul had thousands of different expressions. After all this city was unlike anything they ever seen in their lives, it was like a giant water fountain, but it was like the most beautiful water fountain they ever saw.
''What is this?" Asked Natsu amazed.
''Wow, I think I never seen anything like that.'' Said Lucy all emotional.
''Alright! We are going to check out this place!' Scream Luffy.
The crew finally arrived at Water Seven. We are starting this, I promised you all and I finally got us here. For the remain I think each chapter of mine will consist of an adaptation of five to six chapters of the manga, because I don't wanna put any filler things from the anime. But some fun scenes will soon appear don't worry, I like things like Sanji eating the old man food that has the salt from the All Blue and the Golden Exchange. I got say, I am super excited about you all. So be ready, because things will get SUPER real soon if you know what I mean.
Also, next chapter will be like the only filler. Because I want the Straw Hats to meet Lucy spirits, because I don't know if I can't fit all this into the story proper. I want them to jump into the main storyline, so they will get to know each spirit soon and after that is the story. Ok, good? Alright, bye!
