Steve's POV

"Who are you?" the dragon asked.

"It talks?!"

"You must be hearing things." Usopp said.

"Are you sure, it sounded real." Luffy told him.

"I refuse to believe that thing is a dragon." Usopp whined.

"It looks like something out of a fairy tale." Robin commented.

"We even had legends about dragons up on Skypiea." Wyper told us "But I always assumed they were just stories."

The dragon reared back and sucked in air.

"It can't be…" Zoro said.

"It's gonna spit fire!" I yelled.

"RAHHHHH!" the dragon shot a stream of blazing hot fire at us.

"Whoa!" we all yelled diving out of the way.

"There's no way something like this is real!" Usopp yelled.

"This thing's huge." I smiled "It breaths fire too, I wonder if it can get burned."

"Interesting." Zoro said running forward.

"Yahoo!" Luffy laughed.

Luffy jumped up and punched the Dragon in the face.

"Jet Bullet!"

The Dragon stumbled back but regained its composure quickly.

"Its scales are really hard." Luffy said landing on the Dragon's tail.

The dragon flicked its tail and threw Luffy through a few buildings.

"Luffy!"

I pulled my bandages off "Let's see it this works…Hellfire Fist!"

Purple fire passed over the Dragon's body but it seemed unscathed.

"Note to self, one cannot burn a dragon."

"Move aside." Zoro said running at the dragon.

He jumped over its jaws when it tried to bite him and slashed at its teeth.

"Luffy's right this thing defiantly talks." Zoro said "I heard it."

"Crushing Guillotine!"

Wyper delivered a concussive blast to the beast's side but it was shrugged off.

"It's so durable." He said "it just shakes everything off."

"Stupid Dragon!" Luffy yelled kicking it in the side.

The dragon got up and used its wings to fly.

"Are you with that warlord?!" it yelled as it breathed fire.

Everyone dove behind the rubble for defense but I just put my hand up and created a shield of Hellfire to block it.

"Steve get out of the way!" Robin yelled.

"I can't be burned by such weak fire." I told her "Luffy we gotta get around this thing."

"Leave this to me." Zoro said "I'll cut it in two."

"Alright." Luffy said "We'll make an opening."

Luffy rocketed up and landed on top of the Dragon.

"Tempest Kick: Drill!"

My kick bored into the side of the Dragon while up above Luffy made the Dragon bite its own wing. With the Dragon stunned Zoro jumped up, and with one slash cut its head off. When Luffy and Zoro landed Luffy showed us that there was a torso stuck to the Dragon's neck.

"I'm gonna pull him out." Luffy said grabbing the legs "Quit flailing around!"

When Luffy yanked on the legs, only the bottom half of a body came off.

"Oh no I broke it." Luffy said.

"You didn't break it you killed it!" Usopp yelled.

The disembodied legs jumped up on their own.

"AHHH! Monster!" Usopp yelled.

"I got separated." The legs said.

"It's talking." Wyper said confused.

"Was he just legs from the start?" I said "Where's his top half?"

"I won't let you get away!" the legs yelled running off "Foolish Warlord!"

"So cool~!" Luffy yelled "Join my crew!"

"Not a chance!" I said punching his head "I refuse to be associated with something as ridiculous as a pair of sentient legs!"

"Hey look it's sticky." Luffy said playing around with the stump and putting it on his back "Hey I've got four legs now! Usopp what's this thing called?"

"A Centaur…."

"Yeah I'm a centaur!"

"Robin cover your ears." I said.

"Why?"

"Because the language I'm about to use could harm the ears of a polite lady."

I walked up to Luffy and started to wring his neck.

"Will you get even the slightest bit serious you fucking moron!" I snapped.

What followed was a curse filled tirade.

"You nearly died a few days ago, act your age idiot!"

"Luffy you look ridiculous." Robin said.

"You guys are no fun."

"My best friend is an idiot." I said "A complete moron."

The legs reared up and slammed Luffy into the ground.

"Hey come check this out." Zoro yelled.

We ascended the staircase and got a look at the horizon. Not too far from us there was a river, and on the other side was a mountain of ice and snow.

"No way." I said "Something like that exist so close to this inferno?"

"What kind of island is this?" Wyper asked.

"At least we've solved the mystery of that phone call." Robin said "So the victim must be on that side."

"This island's so cool~!" Luffy yelled "I want a snow cone."

"What a bother." Robin said "seems it will be quite cold on that side.

"We're not seriously going over there are we?!" Usopp yelled.

"If we find an animal I can skin it and make a pelt." Wyper said "We used to make our own clothes back on Sky Island."

"AHHH!"

"What now Usopp?" I groaned.

"There was a…a bird person…a lady with wings."

"There's no such thing." Robin told him "The smoke must have gone to your brain; I do hope you don't suffocate."

"Less talking more walking." I told them.

Rose's POV

"Ugh my head." I groaned sitting up "What happened."

I looked around, we were in some kind of meat locker.

"Hey get up." I said nudging Nami.

I woke up the others.

"What are you all worked up over?" Franky mumbled.

"Can't you see we've been locked in here?" Nami said.

"We got kidnapped!" Chopper cried.

"There was some kind of gas on the ship." Sanji explained "I'm such a failure, if only I noticed sooner."

"Okay we got nabbed." Franky said "but where's the skeleton."

"They probably left him thinking he was dead." Nami said "The five of us are all that was here."

"More importantly." I said picking up a purse "Where's Lil?"

"What?!"

"She's not here!" Chopper yelled "What are we gonna do?!"

"Everyone shut up!" I yelled "Stop panicking, Lil is probably fine…she's just a kid I'm sure they won't hurt her."

"You there? Do you like riddles…in some places they're called puzzles…"

"Who said that?" I asked.

"Wasn't me." Sanji said.

"Maybe it was this." Chopper said walking over to a lump in the corner "AHHH!"

There was a pile of stuff in the corner, and it talked.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Some kind of rejected mutant Transponder Snail?" Franky proposed.

"There's eight of them." Chopper said.

"I am not a snail!" the pile yelled "These are the pieces of my face, would you kindly put me back together?"

We scrambled around with the pieces.

"That's a face."

"There are pieces left over."

"Now it's upside down."

"Now we need more pieces."

"Steve was always good at puzzles."

"Wait I think I got it!"

The head looked…close enough.

"It's a severed head!" we all yelled.

"You're reacting too slowly!" the head yelled back.

"Are you some kind of spirit?" Chopper asked hiding in the corner.

"I would never choose to look like this, I was cut down by a swordsman but instead of dying I was reduced to this sorry state. But I have something I must do, so even if I live in disgrace I will not give in yet."

"He's so strange." Nami said.

"Silence woman!" the head yelled "Do you not have respect for men, you should be walking far behind me."

"What was that about women." Nami and I said grinding our heels the head.

"To have such strong-willed women where you come from, how odd, but since the two of you seem to have been stripped and dishonored I will not disgrace you more."

"If you had a throat, I'd slit it." I told him, my eyebrow twitching.

"This is high fashion." Nami told him "We choose to dress like this."

Nami was wearing jeans and a bikini top and I was in a black body suit and blue cape.

"You like this don't you?" Nami smirked.

"Of yes very much."

Sanji stomped on the head "I suggest you bite you tongue."

"How savage what are you people?"

"Pirates."

"Pirates! I hate Pirates!"

The head explained that it had come from a side of the island that was icy not hot like the one we saw.

"We gotta get out of here." I said "I'm starting to get worried about Lil."

"Sanji couldn't kick that door down." Nami said "I don't know how we'll leave."

"Step aside." Franky said "I'm juiced up and ready to go."

"Hey wait a sec!"

"Move!"

"Franky Radical Beam!"

Franky's dumb laser blasted the door down.

"We're free!"

"I wanna shoot a beam!" Chopper yelled.

"So you coming Mr. Head?" I asked "I guess you'd prefer I call you Mister Samurai."

I flipped the bottom piece of the head on the top.

"Look a topknot, just like the legendary samurai of Wano."

"So this is the guy from the snail call?" Chopper said.

"Seems that way." I said throwing the head to Sanji "Come on let's go."

"We got a call saying that you were killing people." Sanji said.

"I would not kill unjustly." The samurai said "I came to this island to save my son, I will eliminate anyone who gets in my way!"

"Sanji let's go!"

Lil's POV- a few hours ago.

"Wake up…" the soft voice of a woman said.

I slowly opened my eyes and came face to face with a green haired woman…with wings…and bird legs.

A Harpy…I must be dreaming. Last thing I remember I was reading a book on the Sunny…

"I'm Monet, what's your name?" she asked me.

"I'm Lil." I said "Where am I."

"I'm afraid you were brought here because your very sick. We're going to make you better."

What a load of garbage. Chopper said I was perfectly healthy, and even if I was sick he'd never pawn me off on another doctor.

This woman might be dangerous…who knows what she'll do if I go against her, I'll have to play along for now.

I looked down "Did you change my clothes?"

I wasn't wearing the panda themed outfit I had on earlier, now I was in a plain, blue dress made of a weak fabric.

"There's nothing to worry about." She said "We're going to make you feel all better."

She walked over to a desk in the room and stared off for a second before picking up a jar.

She reached into a jar "Here, have a candy."

I grabbed it from her.

Mama always said not to take candy from strangers…

"Go ahead." She said "You can have it now if you want."

I slowly unwrapped the candy, it was purplish in color.

Monet smiled at me for a second, it was kinda creepy how sweet she looked when she smiled…deceptively so, but I couldn't shake the nurturing feeling coming off her, her eyes were blocked by thick glasses but something about them looked…sad.

*Nom*

I popped the candy in my mouth.

It tastes…funky. It's fizzing too…

I slid the candy under my tongue.

"I need to use the bathroom." I told her squirming in my seat.

"Right in there." She said.

I walked in and locked the door.

*Patoo!*

I spit out the candy into the toilet.

"What is going on here?" I said "A freak mythical creature and how did I get here? My purse is gone too."

There was a knock.

"Is everything alright in there?" Monet asked.

"Umm one second." I told her.

The others must be coming for me, they'd never just leave me…I'll play along for a bit and wait till I find a chance to get out of wherever I am.

Mama, Papa, please hurry.

I opened the door and Monet smiled at me.

"Come along Lil." She said "There are some people who'd like to meet you."

"Okay." I smiled.

I followed Monet down a cold metal hallway. Monet was strange, while she seemed dangerous, she also seemed kind and gentle, and I couldn't read her at all.

I can't tell if I should run from her or let her give me a hug.

In addition to Monet, there were other people walking around, with four legs

Centaurs? What is going on here?

"This will be your new home for a while." She said opening the door "This is, The Biscuit Room."

I looked around, the room was designed to be home to toddlers and little kids, certainly not a preteen like me.

I've always been told I look young, they must think I'm not twelve.

The next thing I noticed about the room was that the other kids in there…some were huge.

"Whoa." I said.

"Don't worry about the others." She said "They are all very unique cases."

Monet called to the other kids.

"Everyone this is Lil, she'll be staying with us for a while."

"Hi Lil!" they all smiled.

"Make sure you all get along okay." Monet said "Remember good boys and girls get candy."

Monet left me there with these huge kids.

"Hey what do you like to do?" "Let's play!" "Your hairs so pretty."

I was bombarded with questions. The other kids were very nice, and I was happy to be around kids close to my age.

I haven't been able to just be a kid for so long, this is nice…but….

Something doesn't seem right here…
