Chapter 518: An Explosive Situation! Luffy vs. Fake Luffy!

Disclaimer: I do not own One Piece of any of its characters

Thank you all for reviewing and reading. Chapters will take a while as I am in school and I have to script the entire episode myself for ASL to react to. I will try to get a new chapter out every month.

louve-garoue: I can't wait for the crew to get together and go on the journey to fishman island.

myzmsandraa99: Yes they don't know about Ace's death or his connection to Whitebeard. They will pick up on it as the story progresses. I may have the voice show a montage or clips of the Paramount War but I will see if it will fit in the story well enough.

Ace and Sabo finally got Luffy to settle down and sit back down on the couch with them. In front of each of them was a plate of meat and some juice. As they began eating the next episode starts.

The crowd looks concerned. Anyone who thought it was funny tried to suppress their smile as to not enrage Fake Luffy further. Fake Luffy gets up from off the ground glaring at anyone he thinks is laughing while walking towards Luffy. Luffy quietly comments to himself, "This is not good…"

The scene cuts to a ship being carried by two giant snakes.

A woman's voice sounds, "That's Sabaody Archipelago in the distance. Luffy, we have to say goodbye here. We can't let them discover our relationship."

"Wait! What's happening!" Ace exclaims.

Sabo tries to rationalize, "It seems to be a flashback of a recent event. That we haven't seen yet. That is one of the girls Luffy was with before and that is Sabaody based on what that woman said."

Luffy smiles and laughs, "So it's a mystery."

Luffy answers with a, "Uh-huh"

The beautiful woman from island they first saw Luffy on held up a fake nose and mustache and told him, "Put this on…" She places it over her nose, "…like this!"

The three boys laugh. This beautiful woman just looked ridiculous like that and on screen Luffy seemed to have similar thoughts.

Luffy laughs, "I don't need that! That's too much!"

The woman questions, "Yeah?" But hands it to Luffy, "But in case something happens…"

Luffy answers, "Uh-huh." And takes the disguise item.

The woman pulls on the hood on Luffy's cloak making sure it is hiding his face and continues, "You have to be careful. Make sure you hide your face. The world thinks that you're dead, but people know what you look like from two years ago. If you cause trouble you won't be able to set sail."

"Wait! I know they talked about this before by why does everyone think Luffy is dead! What the hell happened! And besides this lady is telling Luffy to stay out of trouble. He couldn't do that if we tied him up and left him in the treehouse." Ace yelled. Sabo looked nods "Luffy attracts trouble like a magnet" Then Sabo looked thoughtful, "His crew must have faced some kind of striking defeat for that to be a worldwide belief." Luffy shouts out, "No way! I'll never be defeated. I am going to be the strongest pirate in the whole world. Stronger than Shanks, and Ace, and Sabo. I'LL BE THE ONE WHO WILL BE KING OF THE PIRATES!"

Ace knocked him on the head, "That doesn't mean you can't get defeated. And stop shouting in my ear." Before Luffy could comment the episode resumed playing.

Luffy actually understanding responds, "I got it."

The woman turns to a mountain of a backpack and continued on, "And in the backpack, I put 50 extra changes of clothes, 1,000 lunches, handkerchiefs and tissues, five years' worth of towels, three years' worth of water and snacks, silverware, toothbrushes, soap, hand creams and three years' worth of bug bit ointment and…"

Sabo and Ace sweatdropped at the comically large backpack that was clearly overpacked.

Before the woman could finish the little old lady interrupted, "Make it lighter!" The black haired woman looked slightly surprised. As Luffy put the backpack on it was still huge but not nearly as big. The deck was crowded with all the things the they took out of the overpacked bag.

The first girl we met was the first to say parting words, "I hope you can meet your friends safely."

Luffy responds, "Yeah. Thank you for everything!"

The girl smiles and wishes him luck.

The large girl behind the blond warns, "I've heard Sabaody has become unsafe these days."

"That's an understatement," Ace muttered under his breath thinking back to the power even a fake crew had to instill fear into the population.

The old lady nods in agreement, "Yes. That's why the Navy is paying a lot of attention to what goes on there." Another woman told him to take extra care. He responded with a, "Yeah!"

The black haired woman continued, "If you need us, we Kuja Pirates will always come to help you! Don't forget it." She suddenly blushes and looks to the side and asks Luffy, "And could you do me a favor?"

Luffy bluntly says, "What? I'm not gonna marry you."

Ace and Sabo just stare dumbfounded. Sabo says, "I guess she asks him this alot for it to be an immediate response."

Still bushing she continues, "No, I just want you to leave without saying goodbye."

Luffy looks relieved and with a smile told her, "Oh I've never said it to anyone. I wanna see you again." The woman gasps and looked about ready to faint. Luffy laughs, "Shishishishi!"

Ace and Sabo smile. Even if this Luffy was older he was still Luffy.

On a small rowboat Luffy waves to the pirates, "Alright, I'm off!" They all wave back their best wishes for Luffy. "Luffy continues with a "See ya!".

The captain still blushing with a hand to her mouth said, "He said he wants to see me again! Is this what they call…" Lights seem to shine down on her, "…a proposal?!"

"WHAT THE HELL!" Ace and Sabo shouted.

Luffy just laughs, "Shishishishi! What a funny person!"

The grandmother interrupts yelling, "No, it's not!"

Luffy is now back at sabaody in a confrontation with his fake self. Quietly commenting to himself, "I've been told by Hancock not to cause trouble."

Fake Luffy rests his hand holding the pistol on Luffy's head, "Hey, did you hit me on purpose?" The crew members smirk and the crowd grows concern.

Ace and Sabo tense seeing their little brother at gunpoint (before they knew Luffy was bulletproof). Luffy did not like this man (still doesn't understand it's someone impersonating him).

Grove #13 Shakky's Rip-off Bar.

A man's voice was in shock, "Wh-What?! The stupid swordsman got here first?!" It was the blond haired man with the okamas. The man seemed to be in disbelief, "I can't believe it! Our new voyage will be rough." Shakky continues, "And Franky-chan came second about ten days ago and went to see the ship." The man interrupted, "Sunny is alright?" Shakky nodded and an older man reading a newspaper continued, "Of course— there isn't even a scratch and the coating is done. He did a good job."

Another blond man in the shop voices, "There's no regret for honorable wounds!" In full view he is in a full body cast with his crew around him also covered in bandages shouting, "Yes! A year to heal!" While the man on the bed made a strange face.

"Who the hell is this? He seems weak." Ace said plainly.

Luffy laughs, "He seems like a funny guy."

Sanji who was sitting at the bar looks over, "I didn't know you had such a strong sense of duty."

He gets off of the stool facing the group, "Thank you, Duval."

Duval then says, "What, you think I'm handsome?" Duval laughs and did a terrifying wink. "I returned your favor, young master!"

Luffy laughs again.

Ace and Sabo yell, "That doesn't even sound close to what he said!"

With tears in his eyes looking off in a distance Duval continued his story, "Even on rainy days and windy days, dangerous pirates tried to steal that ship. But I fought day after day, even with cuts and bruises! It was very painful!"

His crew had tears in their eyes saying, "Duval-sama!"

Looking at the group Sanji asks, "Even so, how did you get hurt so badly?"

Duval begins, "Well, fall for me… I mean, listen to me, young master. That's because the Navy finally…"

Shakky's voice interrupts, "And Nami-chan came third…"

Immediately Sanji turned around with a heart in his eye, "Nami-san!" He twirls until he is back in front of Shakky. Sanji's fists lightly pound on the bar as he asks, "Where's she?!"

Sabo sweatdropped, So quickly

Shakky removing the cigarette from her mouth answers, "She went out shopping to kill time."

Duval noticing he's being ignored shouts, "No interest in my story anymore?!" However Sanji swooning just sings, "Nami-san's shopping! Nami-san's shopping!"

Shakky continues to list the crew members that arrived at the island, "Usopp-chan came fourth three days ago and went to town. Chopper-chan came fifth yesterday. Brook-chan has a concert today on this island…"

Finally done swooning Sanji asks, "A concert?" To which Shakky gestures to the Soul King poster she had hanging up in the bar. Sanji still confused asks, "What's that?"

Shakky just continues to list the arrivals, "And then you came. So seven members including you have already arrived on this archipelago."

The old man folds his news paper in half, "We haven't seen Nico Robin and Luffy yet. It's extremely difficult just to get to this island. So you guys are all quite something. I'm glad that you can meet them soon."

Sanji goes to pick up a glass of water sitting on the bar, "Yeah. But I can't believe that you trained Luffy. He must be incredibly strong now." Sanji drinks from the glass.

Sabo inputs, "This must be Rayleigh. Last episode we were told a man named Rayleigh trained Luffy. Wow for an old man he must be strong."

Ace quietly watched, Why does this man look familiar?

Rayleigh with his eyes closed smiled, "I haven't seen him for six months. Can't wait to see his progress."

Sanji still holding the water glass was slightly blushing, "Progress…" He turns to face Rayleigh hearts in his eye and surrounding him, "I wonder what kind of progress Nami-san made!" Blood spurted from his nose.

Rayleigh asks sweat dropping, "Hey, are you alright?"

Ace and Sabo sweatdropped, Just the mention of progress can get him in this condition

Luffy laughs at the scene

Duval looks at the perverted man, "Y-young master?"

Sanji puts his cigarette in his mouth (his nose still had blood under it) and said, "But I endured two years of arduous training. So I have to shake off any sign of seduction and show my results!" What he said was ruined by the fact hearts were still emanating around him and was still in his eye.

Duval and his crew yelled, "He's just saying that!"

All three boys laughed lightly at how silly the whole scenario was.

Grove #47

A gunshot rang throughout the streets followed by a woman screaming.

We see the reindeer walking calmly through the streets eating cotton candy as people panic.

At the shouts of run the little blue nosed creature looked over at the commotion.

One man shouts, "Some thugs are fighting again!"

We see back brutes fighting with swords in the street, fist fighting, and harassing the citizens. One comments, "I thought that the pirates would settle down after Whitebeard died…" Another continues, "It's the opposite! They're coming from everywhere and the whole island has become lawless."

The little reindeer looking at the scene comments to himself, "I didn't know that. It's dangerous."

As the fighting continues a man with a captain hat with a Jolly Roger puts his foot on a man he just defeated and says, "Did you get it? Blackbeard, Kid, and Drake are doing whatever they want in the New World and we're the ones who'll follow… I mean, beat them!"

"Hey Sabo," Ace began to ask.

"Huh," was the response.

"What's the New World anyway," Ace finished his question and Sabo now had Luffy's attention.

"Well the Grandline is Split up into two parts. The first half is called paradis because once you go to the New World, the second part of the Grandline, even the hell of the Grandline seems like paradise. The second half is apparently where Yonko are and anyone searching for One Piece eventually go in search of it." Sabo answered.

Luffy had stars in his eyes from learning more about his dream, "I will travel to the New World and find the ONE PIECE! Shishishishi!" Luffy laughs.

The two brothers sighed at how predictable their little brother was. He didn't hear a single thing but One Piece.

Crowd members start to comment on different thugs entering the street.

"Hey, look!"

"Th-They are…"

"What they said was true, as I thought. They were thought to have died fighting against the Navy two years ago, but showed up again on this island."

"Yeah, and they're the most powerful pirate group on this island…"

The little reindeer gets closer to try to get a better look.

"The Straw Hats…" another man muttered.

The little reindeer suddenly got very excited and started to jump up and down to see through the very tall crowd, "Huh? Is it Nami?! Usopp?!"

The captain looked over, "What? The Straw Hats…?"

We see an overweight man with green hair, three swords, and piercings on his ear. A member of the crowd comments, "Pirate Hunter Zoro. A 120 million berri bounty."

A sickly blond man with a curly eyebrow and in a suit walked by him. The commentary continues, "Black Foot Sanji. A 77 million berri bounty."

A short woman with black hair and in a purple dress walked down the street too. "She obtained a bounty at the age of 8. Nico robin. An 80 million beri bounty."

'Robin' is holding the leash of a fox in a pink top hat. "And cotton-candy lover Tony Tony Chopper. A 50 beri bounty."

All three brothers shouted in unison, "That's too low!" And a man on screen apparently agreed.

A shout cried out, "It's too low!"

The real chopper was pushing his way through the crowd, "Who is there? Is Luffy there, too? Move out of my way!"

The thugs in the street wanted to fight them but their captain stopped them, "Wait!"

"Why're you stopping us, Captain?" One of the men asked.

The captain continued, "If we cause trouble with them, Straw Hat Luffy won't keep quiet. It's not wise to have an unnecessary conflict before we go to the New World!"

The counterfeit straw hats walk through the crowd as the criminals in the street make way for them to pass.

Real Chopper's voice ran out once the group passed the crowd, "Hey, Zoro! Sanji! Robin! Wait for me!" The little reindeer chased after the fakes thinking they were the real straw hats.

Ace and Sabo looked at Luffy.

Ace starts, "He kind of acts like..."

Sabo nods and finishes, "like Luffy."

'Zoro' turns his head back to see who was calling out for them. He asks 'Sanji', "What is that talking raccoon?"

'Sanji' responds, "Huh? What are you talking about? Raccoons can't talk."

'Zoro' wasn't convinced, "But…" still looking back at Chopper who happily followed them.

Chopper talks to their backs, "I heard that you got here first, Zoro! Can't believe you didn't get lost. Sanji and Robin, you guys finally made it!"

'Sanji' finally turns his head to look as they keep walking. 'Zoro' asks, "You see it?"

'Sanji' turns back around. "Yeah, I've never seen something like that. He might cause us trouble. Ignore him." The counterfeits began to walk faster to try to lose the animal that trailed them. Chopper begins to panic and runs after them, "Oh, wait! Hey, wait a minute!"

Two men in black looked at the scene hidden from view. "Our target, Nico Robin, is a Devil Fruit eater. It'll be painful if she fights back. Let's catch her off guard!" The two run after the fakes when we see the black haired woman that was being trailed earlier enter the crowd of people. Talking to herself she says, "I better hurry up. I wonder if they're all here."

Back at Grove #13

Sanji rushes out of the bar a heart still in his eye. "I want Nami-san and Robin-chan to try my improved food soon!"

Sanji got serious for a second, "Before that, I better go see if the kitchen on the Sunny is okay." He then runs full speed, "And then, go food shopping!"

Black haired woman with the orange sunglasses enters the grove seeing the man rush off. "Is that Sanji?

Sabo comments, "Well I guess that confirms she's the real Nico Robin. With those two goons trailing Nico Robin and Robin is the only other female mentioned by Shakky besides Nami." Ace nodded as if that makes sense.

Back at the Luffy vs. Fake Luffy confrontation

Fake Luffy pushes the pistol into Luffy's cheek and asks demandingly, "Why don't you say something? Did you hit me knowing who I was?" With the gun still on Luffy's cheek Fake fluffy turns to face the crowd, "Did you see it? You made me look like a fool. You humiliated me in public." Fake Luffy gets in close to Luffy, "It shouldn't happen to me. I'm an elite pirate with a 400 million bounty!"

Sabo and Ace were worried about Luffy but couldn't help but think that this man was exaggerating the bounty.

Fake Luffy leers down at Luffy, "Kneel down on the ground in fear now and beg for your life!"

Ace and Sabo look at Luffy. Him kneel and ask for forgiveness, Never!

Everyone stares at the scene intensely. One man in the crowd sounds, "Just…Just apologize!" Another, "Doesn't he wanna live?"

Fake Luffy lets out a quick laugh lifting the gun from Luffy's cheek, "I think you realize how audacious your actions were!" He then leans against Luffy resting his weight with Luffy's head and rubbing Luffy's head with his elbow.

Ace scuffed in disgust at this man. Sabo had similar a disdain for this man.

'Nami' continues, "That's why you're so scared that you can't even talk!" She laughs. Sogeking goes on, "A few moments ago, a man who has a long nose and a woman with long hair messed with us, so our captain is in a bad mood. You better apologize now. Kneel on the ground!" 'Franky' tells him the alternative, "Otherwise, you're gonna throw away your life with just one mistake. Our captain pulls his trigger very easily." Luffy glances up at Fake Luffy. Voices from the crowd could still be heard.

"Kneel on the ground already! He's Straw Hat Luffy"

"He wants to get killed? Apologize!"

Luffy's voice finally sounded, "I'm really sorry!"

Ace and Sabo looked shocked, Luffy apologized. Luffy puts in his two berries, "That guys a jerk why did that man apologize?" (Luffy still hasn't figured out the whole situation).

The crowd looks relieved for a second but Luffy continues, "I better go now." Luffy starts to walk again when his backpack hit Fake Luffy again.

The crowd freaks out, "WHAT'S WRONG WITH HIM?!"

Luffy lets out a loud laugh and Sabo and Ace couldn't help but snicker.

After Luffy took another step Fake Luffy turns around point his gun straight at Luffy's head and cocked the gun.

Sabo and Ace stopped there snickers and grew worried about Luffy.

Fake Luffy said, "Okay! Very Well!" A woman screams as Fake Luffy pulls the trigger. As if the bullet was flying in slow motion Luffy moved his head back out of the way to avoid being hit. Luffy glares sending out an energy and continues to walk. As he starts to walk Fake Luffy and his crew collapse and fall over.

Luffy gasped, "That's what shanks did. Only really strong pirate captains can do that. That guy must be strong! So Cool!"

Ace and Sabo couldn't even form words at what just happened.

The crowd gasp at the scene, "Hey, did he do something?"

Luffy walking away talked to himself, "Hancock was right. I should put it on."

Back with Chopper

Chopper was still falling the group hitting the ground with the eaten cotton candy stick. He continues to try to strike a conversation. "Hey, Zoro! Sanji! Robin! We finally see each other, but you're acting weird! Zoro and Sanji, you guys did pretty well in these two years. But why aren't you guys talking to me." Chopper does not look discouraged just happy to be with his 'friends' again.

'Zoro' placed a hand on 'Sanji's back and whispered, "Hey, he's still following us."

Chopper makes an assumption about their behavior, "Oh, you're being shy, you bastards!" He sounded oddly happy.

Luffy laughs, "What a strange guy!"

'Zoro' continues, "And that raccoon knows a bit too much about us Straw Hats."

'Sanji' agrees, "I've been thinking about that, too, but maybe… Look at this."

'Sanji' pulls out a stack of wanted posters and flips through them until it shows Chopper's poster. 'Zoro' understanding says, "Don't tell me he's…"

'Sanji' and 'Zoro' look back at the real Chopper who looks up at them in anticipation. The two quickly turned around and 'Sanji' finishes, "The real cotton-candy lover Chopper, a 50 berri bounty!"

'Zoro' elaborates, "So he's their pet!" Chopper still ignorant of their conversation keeps talking, "You guys changed a little. But I don't care."

"Luffy has a pet on the crew?" Sabo questioned.

Ace sighed, "Well I wouldn't put it past him. He can't be very strong with only a 50 berri bounty." (A/N: How wrong you are Ace!"

'Sanji' looks over his shoulder, "He was abandoned on this island before they died and he's been living in the wild."

'Zoro' also looks over his shoulder, "He thinks his masters are back and that's why he's following us."

'Zoro' points to their own pet, "Then let's get rid of that fox and take him instead. If the pet looks the same as the poster, we'd look more authentic."

'Robin' glances over, "We're gonna keep him? What does he eat?"

'Sanji' answers, "Looks like cotton candy."

'Robin' responds, "We don't have any," but 'Robin' still kicks the fox away and then turns to face Chopper.

He looks slightly scared as 'Robin' approaches. She holds out a cucumber, "Come here, Chopper." The fox bites 'Robin's' head but she is still smiling at Chopper. "It's a cucumber." Her head starts bleeding due to the bite.

The three boys could only stare at the strange scene.

Chopper sweat dropped, "Scary! Robin, you're scary!"

The two men in black run towards them, "Now is the chance!" They bag 'Robin' and the fox and continue running off. Chopper is shocked and shouts, "Oh, Robin!" The counterfeits are just as shocked.

'Sanji' shouts, "What? Hey, Nico Robin!"

'Zoro' asks no one, "What are they?"

Chopper is panicking, "What a crisis! Robin has been abducted! They're kidnappers!"

'Zoro' whispers to 'Sanji', "Hey, shouldn't we tell Captain Luffy?" Chopper heard and asked, "What?! Did you guys see Luffy already?!"

'Sanji' ignored the reindeer, "You're right! They must have new members by now, too!" Chopper gets up agrees, "Yeah, we better rescue Robin already, huh? Take me there with you!" The counterfeits look at Chopper and smile at each other.

We hear the voices of the men who captured 'Robin'. "This is Sabaody! We caught Nico Robin! With a fox kind of thing that won't let go of her."

The three boys laughed as the government agents caught 'Nico Robin' and 'Chopper' and their really strange report of it.

BACK WITH SANJI

Sanji is walking through a marketplace. Speaking to himself, "Franky was all fired up. I don't have the worry about the Sunny now. What I have to do is…" Sanji eye suddenly caught a couple of beautiful ladies and gave them all his attention "Viva Sabaody!". Sanji shakes his head to try to get rid of his urges, "Oh, no, I gotta focus on cooking!"

Dryly Ace comments, "Well he snapped out of it quick this time."

Know composed he continues, "I have to get the best ingredients first." A beautiful woman walked past a love Sanji is back, "It's a beautiful… I need lady!" The woman freaks out and runs away.

"Stop doing that dammit!" (Guess who yelled that!)

Sanji turns around and is now composed again, "And cook something really good that'll surprise Nami-san and Robin-chan!" Sanji looks over at the stalls, "But I can't find anything special. What should I do…" Sanji samples food at a stall and the old woman tells him, "Well, you might want to check the shop on the beach at Grove #42…"

Sanji looks excited, "Oh, thank you! I appreciate it!"

Grove #42

Sanji approaches a fisherman stall and yells, "Hey, fisherman, sell me some fish at your best price! Huh? Nobody's here?"

The fisherman in question is freaking out by the shore. Sanji turns to him, "Hey, are you the owner?" The fisherman turns to face him and Sanji continues, "WHat's the matter?"

Fisherman said, "He's gone! The green-haired man!"

Wanting more clarification Sanji asks, "Green-haired? What happened?"

The fisherman looks slightly sheepish, "I did something horrible! It happened just now…"

Flashback

The fisherman was moving fish when the green haired man from the first episode said to the man, "Old man, I wanna fish."

The man looks up confused and looks up at the green haired swordsman, "Huh? Young man, you don't look like a fishing type of guy."

Sabo recognizes him from the previous episode, "Hey that's the guy who entered Shakky's bar last episode."

Ace adds on, "Based on all the fake straw hats and this man is obviously connected to the real ones. I would have to say that guy is that Zoro."

Zoro responds, "I promised to meet friends on this island, but I got here first and I haven't seen any of them yet. So I have nothing to do. Can you take me out to sea on your fishing boat?"

The fisherman point to a small boat next to a large pirate ship, "Sure, I'll take you out on that boat right there, so go ahead and wait for me."

Flashback end

Looking regretful the fisherman said, "That's what I told him."

Sanji describes the man, "Green hair, three swords, and a belly warmer?"

The fisherman gets excited, "Yeah, and he has a deep scar on his eye. You know him?"

Now Sanji looks confused, "A scar on his eye?"

"I guess he must have lost that eye in the last two years." Ace comments. Sabo agrees, "But how did he even lose it. This guy looks so strong." (A/N: The world my never know)

He pulls out a wanted poster of a younger green haired man, "Was it this guy?"

The fisherman recognizes the man in the photo, "Oh, yeah, this is the guy! Is he your friend?"

Sanji seemed reluctant but said, "Well, I only know him a little."

The fisherman looks worried, "I told him to get on the fishing boat. That's for sure. But when I came back here…"

Flashback

The fisherman dropped his equipment and shouts, "No, young man, that's not it! That's a pirate ship!" You can see Zoro sleeping on the rail.

Sabo seemed perplexed, "How did he end up on the pirate ship."

Ace nods with a sweatdrop, "Well now we know why Sanji and Chopper were so shocked that Zoro got here first."

The captain on the ship rallied the crew, "You guys! We're gonna set sail for the New World that we've been dreaming of!"

Luffy had sparkles in his eyes at these pirates setting sail to their dreams.

As the crew cheers the old man continues to panic, "W-wake up, young man! You're on the wrong ship!" The ship submerges underwater.

All three boys freaked out.

"The boat went underwater!" Sabo exclaimed.

"What the Hell!" Ace yelled.

"Sabo! Ace! A ship that can travel underwater! How Cool!" Luffy frantically shouted.

End Flashback

"So I think he's heading for the Fishman Island."

Sanji looked annoyed and muttered, "That baka!"

Well I can't really blame him for being annoyed Ace and Sabo thought.

Sanji inhaled some of his cigarette and exhaled letting the nicotine calm him down. Stomping his foot into the ground he said more to himself then to the fisherman, "I thought it was unlike him to show up first. I knew he'd do something like this!"

Sanji now looked calm but the fisherman was still worried, "It's a pirate ship! Maybe they'll kill him!"

Sanji reassures the man, "No, no, it's okay. It's not your fault at all. He won't die. We're lucky to know where he's heading. That aside, can I have some fish?"

Sabo adds in, "You think Sanji would be a little concerned." Ace brings up, "Well either this guy hates him or he's strong so there's no need to worry."

Still concerned the fisherman said, "Well, but…" However before he could finish a crowd was crowding rounding the sure as something seemed to appear. Sanji and the old man looked over were everyone was pointing to.

The crowd commentates.

"Look at the water! Something is surfacing!"

"What is it?"

"That's huge!"

A huge wave appears as the ship Zoro got on resurfaces; however the ship was cut clean in two.

The three's eyes widened at the ship cut in half, "WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPEN!"

The crowd comments on the ship:

"It's a galleon ship"

"Was it crushed by water pressure due to not being coated well?"

"Or attacked by Sea Kings?"

"But it looks like it's been cut by some kind of knife."

"Don't be a fool! Who could cut a ship that big?"

The captain of the ship was soaked by yelled at the man responsible, "You bastard! How dare you ruin our dream to go to the New World?!"

The man held a black blade sword swinging it and said, "It's a quirk of fate! You should blame your own fate that brought a plague onto your ship."

Sabo and Ace look impressed while Luffy had sparkles in his eyes by how cool this guy was.

The captain frustrated said, "No, you're the one…"

The crowd takes notices the man responsible on the ship.

Sanji also notices and says to himself, "Oh, he's back. I couldn't care less about him."

"So it was both. This guys strong and Sanji hates him." Ace concluded.

Zoro spat out water and sheaths his sword and says in a serious matter, "I got on…the wrong ship."

"Wait that's all you have to say!" Sabo shouts. Luffy laughs, "He's a funny guy." Ace stands up, "Well I guess this episodes over. Why don't we spare until the next one." His two brothers excitedly agree. They got through 24 fights. Luffy lost all of his and Ace beat Sabo by 3 points.

A/N: If I am ignoring one of the brothers let me know. If you think anyone's reaction is a little too OC please let me know (though it is to be expected a little after witnessing new and distant events). I accept all kinds of constructive criticism to improve my stories. Hope you all enjoyed the new chapter.
