Okay from here on out I'm not going to warn you that I used scenes from the manga, even though I will be for the durander of this particular fanfic... I only do it to show how I worked the story into One Piece thus sticking to my #1 rule in writing fanfics... which I stated in a previous chapter. That said this chapter is a combination of two One Piece chapters with added and/or changed details... also eventually I will be breaking my #1 rule for this story because the idea I have for this story the rule needs to be broken a bit... not to mention if I don't then I might as well just stop writing this fic because it would basically be the original with a bit of editing and retelling you what you already know isn't going to be very fun to write (or read for that mater) so yeah not much longer until I start that part of the plain but for now let's stick with how I did the Dressrosa arc... okay enough boring rambling... BACK TO THE STORY!
"We're finally here!" Luffy, Usopp, and Franky shouted throwing their hands in the air.
Ryuunosuke smiled, proud of himself for getting the Straw Hats to the top of the elephant that is the Island Zou, as he slowly merged with the elephant.
"So you're turning back into a drawing," Robin said as tears welled up in her eyes.
"Hay, w-wait!" Usopp, Luffy, and Franky said just before he disappeared into the back of the elephant. "Ryuunosuke!"
"Ryuunosukeeee!" Franky said as tears streamed down his face.
"Ryuuunosukeeeeeee!"
"This is rediculous," Law said. Let's just hurry and find Sanji... and the others.
"It was just a lousy drawing to begin with anyway," Zoro agreed.
"HEY, APOLOGIZE YOU TWO!" Usopp yelled. "It did it's best to bring us all the way here!"
"We're in unfamiliar terrain here... We shouldn't waist time like this. More importantly, pay attention and keep on your toes!"
"Heyyy Usopp! Take a look at this!" Luffy hollered down from the gaurd post at the top of the wall surrounding the country.
Usopp's eyes popped out of his head, "How the hell did he get up there so fast!" (Oh I don't know Usopp... maybe Gum Gum no Rocket...?)
"This Is cool!" Luffy said as Usopp climbed up with him. "All this on top of the back of a thousand-year old elephant... A country!
"Amazingg! On the back of an elephant!?"
"There's forests, rivers, and even a town!"
"Hey, this is pretty cool... It's like we're on another island!"
"But the town...! There's something..." Usopp began as he peered through his goggles.
"YAHOOOO!" Luffy hollered jumping from the wall.
"Ah! Luffy jumped! Usopp hollered down to Zoro and the others.
"Sure he did," Zoro sighed. "Got anything on eyebrows?"
"Uhh, not from this far away...!"
"Zoro, are you sure we don't have to wait for Kinemon?" Robin asked as Zoro and Law proceeded through the gate.
"This place is huge but nothing he can't handle. C'mon let's move." Zoro replied. (Maybe So Zoro but it sure is something you can't handle... Sorry I had too...) "You didn't even need to jump off, the doors were open..."
"Wait up! I'm coming down now..." Usopp said as he ran down the stairs.
"It's not like they were open to begin with..." Law said looking up at the broken hinges still attached to the wall. "Someone forced them open." I really don't like this... Damn it, why did I tell him to go on ahead?! Er... I really hope my crews okay... but seriously, first Sanji's wanted poster changed... Now someone forced their way into the country he was headed to... I've got a really bad feeling about this...
They continued forward, observing the destructed state of the forest.
This is bad... Shit! Who's that!" Law thought grabbing Kikoku's hilt.
"Eh?! What?!" Usopp jumped. "Do you hear something?!"
"Leave this to me..." Zoro said as someone came running up behind them.
They jumped over Zoro as he unsheathed Kitetsu.
"WAIT!" Someone said as Zoro blocked the girl's attack.
"Huh?!" The girl said.
"Stop, Carrot! Leave them be!" Wanda said, riding up on a giant crocodile-like creature. "We've got to deal with the intruders In the whales forest!"
"Woah! Talking animals!?" They said, not realizing before that the girl that had attacked them was in fact a rabbit.
"The mink tribe...," Law replied Intruders...? Don't be here for Sanji... Wait... Straw Hat ran off... It's probably just him... but she said Intruders...
"Huh!? Ahh! Isn't that Nami's...!" Usopp hollered seeing Wanda's outfit.
"What's with that weapon of her's? I thought I felt something electrocute me!" Zoro said, keeping his swords up to defend himself if necessary.
Carrot turned to Wanda, "Intruders in the Whale forest!?"
"Yeah, and thangs are looking bad! This is going to make the guardians really angry!"
"Wait... are they humans or animals?" Franky asked.
"H-hey! You! Those clothes of your... where did you get them! And what did you do to Nami?!" Usopp accused Wanda.
"Cannibals...?" Robin said (sometimes I think she says morbid things just to scare Usopp)
"STOP SAYING SUCH SCARY THINGS!" Usopp said.
"We don't have time to deal with you guys so just do as I say!" Wanda said to the Straw Hats. The Right Rump Forest is right ahead! Get there and turn left the moment you see a swamp! That'll take you to the Right Belly Forest! The body of your dead comrade's over there!"
Eyes bugging out of their heads, Franky and Usopp screamed in horror.
"Wait for us at the right belly forest! We'll be there ASAP!" She said riding off in the opposite direction.
"THEIR INVITING US TO BE THEIR DINNER!" Usopp screamed. "THE OTHERS HAVE BEEN EATEN! LETS GO BACK TO THE SHIP!" He turned to run back to the entrance.
Law grabbed him by the shoulder as he continued to run in place, "They are not! I haven't told you this but my navigator, Bepo, is from Zou."
"AAAAAAAAAGH! LAW HAS A CANNIBAL ON HIS CREW! ZORO! KILL HIM NOW! SAVE ME! HE'S GOING TO EAT ME!"
"Hmmm, so their bodies are still intact... That means they weren't made into food..." Robin said thoughtfully.
"That's not the problem here! Dammit!"
"Geez... Calm down. You're forgetting that curly brows was with them the entire time. He wouldn't have let that happen," Zoro reminded the sniper.
"Right! There's no way they'd die so easily!" Franky realized. "This was a trap to lower our morale."
"True... It is rather unbelievable...," Robin agreed. "Tra-guy... Speaking of your Comrades, they should be here too, no? Any means of communication?"
"Nope... I didn't think I'd be able to see them again in the first place... but..."Law said as he reached into his pockets. "Oh yeah, I forgot I had a vivre card on me... This..." he began holding up the vivre card, "belongs to Bepo. This is his birthplace..." he held out his hand and watched as the vivre card slow inched towards his fingers. "...but he never really had memories of his time here... Probably because he left this Island at such a young age. He's been with me for ten years already and he's my comrade. I trust him. I guess we've gotta move ahead if we want answers." Please be there Sanji.
Fun(sad) fact that you may or may not have noticed:
Corazon dies 13 years ago... Sanji ran away from Germa 13 years ago when he was 8... Bepo and Law meant (well at least started traveling together) 10 years ago, 3 years after Corazon's death.
Idk I found it interesting so thought I'd shear for those who didn't notice it...
Also HAPPY BIRTHDAY SANJI! ...and his brothers!
