"YOU'RE INSANE GIAN! YOU'RE NOT SERIOUSLY PLANNING TO DO THAT HERE?!" the crew- minus Luffy of course- all yelped at what the man is suggesting.
Gian on the other hand, already climbed up the cliff where the lighthouse is, Atom Splitter was kept safely aboard the Merry, as so to not damage it during this.
"I've been called many things, might as well be called that too." Gian replied "Besides, he needs this." Ignoring the rest of his nakama's protests, he once again called upon the ability of Full Transformation.
The blinding flash of light also ended up rocking the ocean around it, its waves tossing the Going Merry left and right. The raging water also smacked waves into Laboon, drawing the big whale's attention.
"Hey, big guy. Care for a spar?" Gian proposed.
Laboon narrowed his eyes at this massive beast before him, before letting loose a bellow of challenge. Something about this being made his blood pump, and it felt good.
"We're all gonna die here…." Usopp moaned.
"Don't worry, Gian knows what he's doing." Luffy assured them.
"Well I'll be. Never thought I'd see something like this again!" Crocus commented.
"Crocus-san? You know about Kaiju-zoans?" Nami was with surprise.
Crocus only smiled mysteriously.
Back with the two titans, Laboon soon understood what he needs to do as Gian broke a part of the cliff and threw it at him. The whale let out a bellow and threw his weight forwards, breaking the massive rock with his body and crashing into the Fully Transformed Gian with a heavy slam, sending him crashing into the Cliffside. Gian strained and began pushing back, eventually throwing the massive whale away with a heave, Laboon sending a massive wave up as he hit the water, sending the crew screaming as they were tossed and turned.
Gian then fired an Atom Ray, taking in consideration not to actually hit the whale head on, the heat beam sending the water around Laboon up in fountains. Laboon let out a few surprised groans but was quick to retaliate and slammed his tail forwards, which Gian blocked with his own. Laboon then torpedoed himself back at Gian again, but this time he was ready, meeting the charge head on as the two titans pushed against each other in a show of strength. Their clash sent tons of rocks tumbling down towards the Going Merry, some of them narrowly missing the ship by mere inches. Luffy was laughing to himself as he saw the two massive creatures do battle, while the remaining 4 were huddled together and praying to whatever deity listening to save them. Meanwhile Crocus was looking at Gian with curiosity; it had been some years since he last encountered a Kaiju-zoan user, and it was always fascinating to see a Full Transformation.
With some difficulty, the two titans broke apart, panting slightly but still pumped with adrenaline. In his heart Laboon knew that this creature vastly overpowered him and can feel that he isn't even fighting at his full strength. Even so, the intimidating aura that the creature gave off just made it want to fight him even more!
"You still have more left in you, dontcha?" Gian snickered "Then come on then!" Laboon wasted no time in barreling himself forward again, the two massive beasts meeting up once again with a heavy slam. This time, the result was that Gian forced himself under the whale, lifting him up with herculean strength, and actually throwing the sea mammal a few distances away. A minute passed before Laboon resurfaced, ready to battle again.
"I believe this is enough." Gian stated, which caused Laboon, along with the rest of the crew, to give a look of surprise. "Aren't we just two massive beasts of power? Each of our blows clash with the sound of a thunderclap? Any further and I believe we'll actually be able to break the Red Line."
"But there's the problem. I can't go into the water, and you can't come on land. Anything we do is nothing short of a stalemate, it's quite a shame isn't it?" Gian deducted, causing Laboon's eye's to widen.
"I know you want this to continue, it's the most rush you've gotten in a long time, isn't it? Believe me, I want it to continue as well. So at the very least, I'll promise you that one day, I'll find a way to be able to get into that sea and we'll get a real brawl together. Until then, I need you to promise me that you will never smack your head against this wall again. I don't want my rival to be covered in bruises when I come back here!" Gian declared.
Laboon thought about it for a bit, then bellowed in agreement; finally the big whale had something to wait for again! Hearing this, everyone aboard the Going Merry smiled at the scene, finally understanding the whole point of that demonstration.
"So… as soon as this lethargy lifts itself, let's shake on it. No, better idea! I'll draw you a reminder of our first battle together!" Gian wheezed as he undid his transformation, when he suddenly found himself being held down by Usopp, Zoro and Nami.
"DON'T YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT DRAWING THAT ABOMINATION ANYWHERE ON HIS BODY!" Nami shouted as she realized what he meant.
"But he'll look good! And there has to be a reminder or he might forget!"
"There's no way he'll look good with that horrifying demon painted on him!" Zoro snapped back, remembering what Gian drew as his take on their flag.
"Shishishi! Don't worry Gian, I'll draw the reminder for you!" Luffy grinned, much to everyone else's horror.
"NO! Now look what you've done?! You have to stop him!" Gian shuddered. But it was too late, and in an instant Luffy managed to paint his deformed interpretation of the Straw Hat Jolly Roger upon the Whale's face, covering his scars.
"NOOOOOOOOOOO!" Gian screamed in mock horror while the rest of the crew felt genuine remorse for the whale.
"Did we do the right thing?" Nami whispered.
"… It's the lesser of two evils." Zoro sighed.
"Am I missing something here?" Sanji wondered, not understanding why they did that.
"Trust me, you're better off not knowing." Usopp told him.
Laboon just whistled, apparently unconcerned of the hideous drawing on his snout.
"You guys sure are something" Crocus laughed. He is genuinely glad that the boy managed to convince Laboon to stop his head smashing, something he wasn't able to do for years. "Now, can I speak to the one that possesses the Kaiju-Zoan? There is something that I wish to say."
Meanwhile:
"Oh my… you saw all that didn't you Miss Wednesday?" Mr. 9 whispered to the blue haired girl as they watched the entire ordeal from some distances away. The whole thing was terrifying, they did not expect to see something like that.
"I did… who would've guessed we'd run into people like those guys?" Miss Wednesday mumbled back hoarsely. "That monster… it's just like how Mr. 0.5 could-"
"It does!" Mr. 9 exclaimed "And I thought what Mr. 0.5 had was unique, but it turns out that there's an entire breed of them out there!" the king-dressing man suddenly began panicking.
"Oh no! We failed our mission! And that means the Boss is gonna punish us!" he gulps "W-what if he sucks us dry… or worse! He'll let Mr. 0.5-"
"T-that won't happen! It's just a small error isn't it?" Miss Wednesday tried to assure him, but even she was freaking out "We'll just go back to town and start over, to show them that we're still good agents!"
"Great idea Miss Wednesday! I'll just use the-" Mr. 9 looked like he was about to reach for something when his face suddenly blanked.
"I-IT'S GONE!"
Back with the Strawhats:
"That Kaiju-zoan fruit, how long have you had it for?" Crocus asked Gian as the two of them sat a few distances away from the rest of the crew.
"For as long as I can remember to be honest, it's just been with me for the longest time of my life."
"And how long have you been using it?"
"Not much really, East Blue hardly has any need for the abilities. I've only done a Full Transformation 3 times in my life, this being the third." Gian replied.
Crocus closed his eyes for a bit "On my last voyage into the Grand Line, the pirate crew that I was with had two people just like you. Twins, a lady and a gentleman. Both of them also had Kaiju-zoan fruits, and it was from them that I learned of it."
Crocus continued his story "I remember the two of them, transforming simultaneously, one after another. Every enemy that stood against them, obliterated in an instant. It was there that I witnessed nature in its rawest."
"So you know of them, why are you telling me this?" Gian wondered.
"Kid, from that little show you put on, I can tell that you, despite your claim of almost never using it, have a great deal of control over your Kaiju abilities. But at the same time, I can tell that you've yet to truly master the fruit."
"That's kind of a given really, considering I hardly used it to begin with."
"And that's why I'm giving you a heads up, the road to mastering a Kaiju-zoan is one that must be fought hard, lest you see yourself sacrificing a part of your own humanity. Temper the Kaiju's power, but do not give in to the Kaiju's rage."
Now that got Gian alerted; he has never heard of this before. Even Triton had never told him about the supposed "Kaiju's rage" that this old man is now bringing up.
"Is that… what happened to those twins you mentioned?" Gian asked.
"Somewhat, I never got the whole story as the crew has disbanded for many years. I haven't heard from them for a long time after that. Then one day I was paid a visit by one of the twins, it was the girl, she appeared to have just emerged from a fight and was badly wounded. Can you guess what might have happened?"
Gian's eyes widened "Don't tell me that-"
"That's correct, the twins came into conflict with each other. Before they used to be so close with one another, always fighting side by side and sticking together. But something within the man changed, warped him, and turned him vengeful; the Kaiju's rage. He took this rage out on the people around him, and when his sister tried to stop him, he focused this rage on her too. That's what she told me that is, after he exiled her off the island they lived on together."
Gian was silent as he processed all this; he has no idea something like that was possible. "Why are you telling me all this?"
"Because the Kaiju's rage comes to light in the face of great loss, and when loss is felt, it is replaced by rage. Your journey will be a long one, full of struggles and there will no doubt be a time when you will lose something precious to you. Work hard to ensure that the Kaiju's rage will not overcome you should that ever happen." Crocus exclaimed.
"It won't! If what you said is possible, then I'll never let this so-called Kaiju's rage define me!" Gian replied adamantly; the last thing he wishes to do is his friends getting hurt because of him.
"I pray that is so, but you have a good chance. That's Straw hat boy is your captain is he not? He has a kind heart, him along with your friends are key in order help you quell that rage. Though nothing is sure fire going to work, it will come down to your own will in the end." Crocus told him.
"I see, thank you Crocus-san I will remember this." Gian replied, deep in thought over what he just learned. It seems that there are certain aspects of the Kaiju-zoan that Triton-senpai did not tell him.
Just then, the two of them heard a sudden scream. Standing up with a start, Gian raced over to the source, where he found that Nami had a panicked expression on her face, while staring at the rapidly spinning compass now in her hands.
"W-what is going on here?!" she whimpered.
"Wow… it's so hypnotizing!" Luffy marveled.
"This is serious Luffy, I remembered Triton-senpai telling me something about the properties of the Grand Line but I forgot what it was! Anyhow, that's what's causing the compass to do that."
"You got half of it right, the Grand Line is indeed causing this." Crocus informed them "More precisely, it's due to the irregular currents that pass through and the abnormal magnetic fields that the islands have. You're the navigator correct? Then you know how much trouble you guys are in?"
"Yes! How are we supposed to sail if we don't even know where we're going?!"
"Triton-senpai told me before that a certain instrument is used to navigate the seas here instead of compasses, what was it again?" Gian thought.
"What you need here is a Log Pose." Crocus revealed.
"Ah! That's the one!" Gian slapped his fist to his palm.
"What is a Log Pose?" Nami asked.
"It is a device that locks onto a single island and memorizes its magnetic field. Sort of like a compass, but different. To navigate the Grand Line, the Log Pose must readapt to a new magnetic field each time you wish to travel to a new location. There are 7 routes starting from here, and you'll have to pick one to travel on. Once you do however you just have to keep going forward, until the final destination is reached: Raftel!" Crocus explained.
"Raftel? That's where One Piece isn't it?" Usopp asked.
"Perhaps, no one has ever reached it yet since the Pirate King's death." Crocus smiled.
"Then that's where we have to go!" Luffy realized "Let's hurry!"
"Didn't you hear him Luffy? If we don't have a Log Pose then we can't navigate!" Sanji scolded.
"Bummer… oh that reminds me! I found some strange object on the deck after we threw off those two people, do any of you know what it is?" The boy asked and pulled out what appeared to be a wrist watch with a glass dome atop it. Inside the dome was a small needle similar to that in a compass, hanging from a wire.
"Ah, that's a Log Pose. Looks like you lot came prepared." Crocus stated.
"Wait… WHY DO YOU ONLY TELL US THIS NOW?!" Nami screamed and punched the rubber captain in the head.
"I'm sowwry…!" Luffy's face is now swollen.
"That's kid's luck… is too good sometimes…" Gian sighed.
"Anyway, if you have that, you'll have an easier time navigating." Crocus said.
"Yay! Than we can set sail again!" Luffy cheered.
"Hold on for one second, good sirs!" a voice suddenly called. The crew turned to see Mr. 9 and Miss Wednesday climb aboard, water dripping off them.
"We have a request to make!" Miss Wednesday stated.
"Yeah! We need you guys to take us back to our island!" Mr. 9 followed up.
"You guys? Weren't you two the ones who tried to kill Laboon?" Nami frowned "What makes you think we'll help you?!"
"Please! You're all we can think of!" Mr. 9 begged again.
"You're the only ones that can help us!" Miss Wednesday replied.
"I say throw them back in." Zoro quipped.
"Hey! Don't say that to a lady!" Sanji frowned, obviously hinting at Miss Wednesday.
"Zoro has a point… these people might pull something if we help them…" Gian pointed out, reaching for Atom Splitter once again.
"We swear on our honor!" Mr. 9 quickly said.
"Yeah! We just want to return to our town!" Miss Wednesday followed up.
"But we don't even know you guys! Who do you people work for?" Usopp protested.
"That we cannot say!"
"Our organization thrives on secrecy!"
The crew deadpanned, it's clear that the duo would keep this up until they accept, and even if they threw them off again, they'd just keep coming back.
"…What is the name of your town…" Gian sighed
"Whiskey Peak, my good sir!" Mr. 9 answered.
"Just sir is fine." Gian snorted "What does everyone else think?"
"I don't know… what if they call back up while we're out at sea?" Usopp whimpered.
"Fine, let's just take them. It's not like we can't kick their asses if they tried to do something anyway." Zoro shrugged.
"Yeah, sure we'll give them a lift." Luffy nodded and that was that.
"Well then, if you are all set, then the Log Pose is locked onto Whiskey Peak and you can be off. I wish you all the best of luck on your journey." Crocus gave his farewell. During that time he had managed to fix the Going Merry's figurehead, reattaching it with a steel plate.
"Yeah! Thanks flower-jiji!" Luffy waved back.
"And I'll be seeing you again one day Laboon! Never forget that!" Gian saluted the whale, who gave a loud bellow back.
And with that, the crew sailed off, ready to go on their next leg of adventures. Crocus and Laboon watched them sail further and further away, a hint of fondness in their eyes,
"Those people are certainly something, especially that boy with the Straw hat." Crocus thought "Kind of like you, Roger?"
Later:
"DOES SOMEONE WANT TO TELL ME WHY IT'S RAINING AND SNOWING AT THE SAME TIME?!" Nami screeched while, around them, it is doing exactly that. Luffy and Usopp obviously don't mind, and are playing around in the snow, but for everyone else it was trying to stay dry.
"This is the Grand Line, where the weather is unpredictable. Anything can happen and you won't even know what hits you!" Miss Wednesday reminded them. The two of them had been forced to help out with the ship as all the strange weather hit them.
"Gian, didn't you spend some time in the so-called New World? Was the weather like this?" Sanji asked.
"Oh yeah, way worse actually. The further you get in the Grand Line, the more erratic the weather gets." Gian shivered again.
"Great… we have that to look forward to then…" Zoro muttered.
"In any case, we got to get out of- OH NO! EVERYONE TURN THE SHIP AROUND!" Nami screamed.
"What's wrong?" Gian asked.
"We're going the wrong way! I didn't look at the Log Pose for one second and then the ship went another direction! We didn't even notice!"
"Can you believe this? We've been out here for only a couple of hours and already I've wrestled with a whale and getting hit by the strange nature of this place." Gian sighed and turned the ship around.
"Thanks, we're already aware of that… now go help out!"
Indeed, the Grand Line is an unpredictable place. In the span of around an hour, the crew experienced high winds, sunny skies, and pouring hail, one after another. All that paid off however, when the crew spotted land in the distance. It looked like bunches of cacti grouped up together to form one single island.
"Is that it?" Usopp asked.
"Yes! That's our home, Whiskey Peak!" Mr. 9 cried out.
"Thank you all for the ride, perhaps we'll meet again!" Miss Wednesday smiled back and the two agents jumped off the ship and swam towards the shore, leaving the crew still figuring out who they are.
"Strange… Mr. 9 and Miss Wednesday… I could've sworn I heard those names somewhere before…" Zoro frowned.
"Well it doesn't matter now! We have ourselves an island to explore!" Luffy cheered.
"Um… that island looks really ominous… do we have to go?" Usopp stammered.
"That's why we're going, it looks cool enough to draw anyway." Gian stated.
"Besides, the Log Pose needs to reset, I don't know how long it would take though." Nami reminded him.
"T-then you guys go! I have 'can't-go-on-this-island' disease I'll just wait here!" Usopp grinned shakenly, before yelping as Gian clasped an arm around his shoulders.
"Don't worry, if there's any trouble I'll transform and scare it off."
"I'm more afraid of that…"
The crew sailed upriver, further and further into Whiskey Peak. By now a dense fog has surrounded the waters around them, making vision difficult.
And then they heard the noises.
"EEEK! There really are monsters here!" Usopp screamed.
"Be alert, they could jump us at any moment." Gian warned and reached for Atom Splitter, with Zoro reaching for his swords and Sanji bracing himself.
The noises grew louder, and then Luffy pointed out that there are shadowy figures among the fog. The crew anxiously await whatever attack was about to take place.
And then they heard what appears to be cheering.
"Hello! Hello! Welcome to our town, pirates!" a group of happy, cheerful people waved and clapped while laughing. Some were grown ups, some were children, and there were even some nuns and monks.
"Welcome to Whiskey Peak, the pirate-loving town!"
And thus, the mood on the ship shifted from alertness to confusion.
"They're… not monsters… they're people!" Usopp realized.
"And they're welcoming us?" Nami frowned.
"…Does anyone else feel ripped off that we were prepared for an attack but received none?" Gian asked, Atom Splitter hasn't seen any action for so long!
"HEY!" Luffy waved back, obviously relaxed.
A big man stepped out of the crowd when the ship docked at the shore. The man is wearing a dark blue suit and carrying a saxophone. His long white hair is curled into many spirals, 3 on each side of his head. Overall, the man looked like an aristocrat.
"Ma~ma~ma, welcome to our town brave pirates! I am Igarappoi, the mayor of Whiskey Peak, and I welcome you to take a breather here in our humble town, until you are ready to cast off onto your journey once again!" the man announced jovially.
"Hi curly hair old man! I'm Luffy! Can we really stay for the night?"
"Of course! Our hospitality for pirates is absolute! Every refreshment here is yours to enjoy!" Igarappoi laughed.
"Then don't mind if we do!" Luffy, Sanji and Usopp cheered and raced off.
"You three come and enjoy yourselves as well! We have all the sake in the world!"
"Well, I could use some drinks, what about you guys?" Zoro asked.
"I don't drink." Gian stated. When you have an underaged child living with you, alcohol is generally non-existent within the Ibuki-Jinkawa household.
"I think I'll pass as well. I'll come with you though, but first I gotta ask when does the Log Pose reset?" Nami asked.
"That's something to worry about another time! For now, just enjoy the festivities!" Igarappoi shrugged it off.
"Well then, I'll come with you guys, I need to eat something anyway." Gian sighed and the 3 of them walked off.
They didn't notice that then, Igarappoi's expression turned sinister.
Later:
As promised, the local townsfolk threw the Straw Hats a big party. Food and drink were abundant and everybody was having a good time.
Luffy was eating all the food he can get his hands on, Sanji was flirting with a group of girls, Usopp is telling an overly-exaggerated tale with onlookers exclaiming in awe.
Hours into the party, Igarappoi suddenly made an announcement.
"Today is a special occasion! Because of our good harvest this year, we have a surplus of wine! As such, it is tradition here to hold our Kanpai Contest, where everybody drinks until they drop! Last man standing wins!"
"A drinking contest huh? I guess I'll humor them!" Zoro grinned, he could always go for more alcohol.
"You guys do it, I already said I don't drink." Gian reminded them.
"Yeah, I think I'll lay off the drinks tonight as well." Nami said. Or she would have, until:
"To all who are joining, do your best! And if you win, the grand prize is 100 000 beri!"
"COUNT ME IN!" Nami cheered. Gian just sighed and shook his head at that.
It was certainly a sight to behold, a large group of people all chugging down cup after cup of alcohol. However, it would only last so long as one by one the contestants started falling down until finally, only Zoro, Nami and a nun remained.
"This is ridiculous… where do those two hold all that liquor?" Gian stared blankly. Zoro he was aware of having high tolerance, but Nami?
After drinking down 13 rounds, Zoro finally couldn't hold up anymore. "That's it… I'm done for the day…" he mumbled and turned over to sleep.
"C'mon, hic, Zoro! You got more than that right?" Nami slurred as she held up her 14th cup. She and the nun went on for about another few rounds before the nun slumped over as well.
"YEAAAH! I WIN!" Nami gave a drunk cheer and promply fell down as well.
"The demon that is alcohol claims more victims tonight." Gian sighed, he looked on to the rest of his crewmates still having a good time, Luffy was now swollen up like a balloon, Sanji was in bliss, and Usopp looked tired as well.
"Guess I'll hit the sack as well." Gian nodded and found a nice corner to doze off into.
Later:
"Ugh… bathroom…" Gian woke up blearily and shook his head as he used Atom Splitter as a leverage to stand up and stumbled out of the tavern to take a leak. After managing to releave himself he was about to head back, when he heard some commotion ahead of him. Going forward, he hid behind a building, and peeked out.
"You two did well to lure them here." The voice belong to Igarappoi, and it seems like he wasn't alone.
"It wasn't easy, they were hard to convince. I still couldn't believe we had to travel with them after they ruined our mission…" Gian's eyes widened slightly when he recognized the figure of Miss Wednesday
"Also, what makes you think you can handle them, Mr. 8?" now it was Mr. 9 speaking.
Igarappoi, or Mr. 8, chuckled at that.
"They've already been taken care of, right Miss Monday?"
Miss Monday turned out to be the nun that was at the drinking contest earlier, except that instead of a religious preacher she was pink haired, muscular woman, standing very tall. She wore a white and red checkered dress.
"Yes, they have all fallen asleep even though it took them a while. If it wasn't for us adding more alcohol to their drinks, they'd probably still be up and about right now. To be fair, we got lucky. There were not much supplies left, as usual." Miss Monday replied.
"Good, then we'll act soon." Mr. 8 replied. This made Gian more alert.
"That's all I needed to know." Gian thought as he reached for Atom Splitter and prepared to storm out… only to hear someone hiss at him from above. He looked up and saw that Zoro was sitting on the rafters.
"How long have you been here?"
"A while now, and trying to interpret what they're saying." Zoro whispered back.
"It seems fishy, should we go in there and make'em talk?" Gian asked.
"Wait a bit longer, let's hear the reason behind it." Zoro responded.
"I thought you were drunk?"
"Yeah, a little alcohol isn't enough to do that to me." Gian just nodded and the two continued to listen to the group talk.
"And it is our good fortune too, for two of those people are wanted pirates" Mr. 8 added "One of them is 'Straw Hat' Monkey D. Luffy, worth 30 million beri, while the other is 'Beast Warrior' Gian, worth 16.5 million. That's a total of 46 and a half million beri you know?"
"N-No way?! The guys we ran into?" Miss Wednesday stammered.
"I find it hard to believe, considering the two of them are currently dozing off…" Miss Monday added.
"We can take that time and loot their belongings then!" Mr. 9 stated.
"More than that, we need to do more to them considering the two of you failed your mission to get the whale all the agents, we're going to capture them alive. We'll report it to the Boss later." Mr. 8 ordered, unaware that there were two people listening in.
"I think I understand now, let's go." Gian nodded to Zoro and the two swiftly jumped out from their hiding space and into plain sight, startling the group.
"You guys! How did-?" Mr. 8 choked out.
"Yeah… about capturing us? You might wanna let them sleep a bit more. They are tired after all." Zoro sneered.
"So in return, we're offering ourselves to you." Gian grinned savagely as his eyes got their amber colored hue again "That is, if you're even able to take us."
A/N: Onto the second arc of the Alabasta Saga, what I did here is just start off Whiskey Peak and I'll finish it in the next chapter. Maybe I'll be doing that with future arcs that are too short, like Long Ring Long Island. This way, we can have chapters of the bigger, more important arcs and focus on them fully without things feeling rushed.
But yeah, since both Reverse Mountain and Whiskey Peak are rather short, they're done in just two chapters. I don't know how long Little Garden will take, perhaps 3 chapters, but I just want to get their quickly because I can't wait to get to Drum Island and Chopper.
G: Maybe if you spend more time writing instead of hanging around at lures you would be there by now.
Oh silly, silly Gian! Those Psyduck aren't going to catch themselves you know!
G: Fuck that! Though you're close to evolving the one you have, right?
Yeah, definitely.
Onto the responses! And holy shit! I think this time I got the most review out of all the chapters! Thanks for giving this feedback!
To Kakusei:
Ahhh, Godzilla 2014 references.
And yeah, I hope to add those guys too. I have a rough plan for what Spacegodzilla's counterpart is already in fact.
G: So what about Biollante… whatever that is.
That needs more work, but I am planning on it.
To anquan:
Are you dead yet?
G: I sure hope not.
Well, let's just say their first encounter will be very memorable.
To biowolf864:
Here you go!
G: we aim to please!
To Noble Pirate:
That was a bit of a hard one for me, even with the filler arc recently we still don't know much about Bartolomeo's backstory. I just assumed he has his devil fruit early on, plus it helps bring out some scenarios.
G: adlib at its finest.
To omegadramon2:
I have seen the Mothra Trilogy, they're rather good, and somewhat underappreciated.
As of right now the Mothra counterpart does not have any interactions with Gideon. Gideon is Gian's rival and Gian's rival only. As for the other Mothra monsters, I might consider putting them in if I can find a way to fit them.
To pokemonking0924:
I'll give a little hint, this is the order the monsters will appear in one way or another: Battra, Kumonga, King Kong, Anguirus. I'll let you guess what roles they'll play and whether they're Kaiju-Zoans or not.
Megaguirus I still haven't had a part for yet, and I haven't really thought about how Gamera can fit in all this, but if I can I'll definitely add him somehow.
And Rodan isn't Triton's monster. Triton's transformation is based off of Titanosaurus. Rodan will be appearing before all the monsters I listed though.
And as for the allied thing, they will mostly be the same, but not always (case and point: Triton), but Mothra's counterpart will be allied with Gian, just not how you expect it to be.
To Vergil Leonidas:
You're completely right! I really plan on using Butterfly in one of the arcs, it's just too good of a song not to use.
G: DO IT! JUST! DO IT!
To starelight:
Thanks, and don't worry Gian will meet Robin next chapter!
G: Is she hot?
Oh, you have no idea.
To JoeH120:
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
G: I love you too!
To tamagat… and your entire horde of reviews from start to now:
Yeah we're just gonna respond to the most recent review, since there are questions there.
G: damn some people take this seriously…
I'm only doing the important flashbacks that are needed for the character, otherwise I just make passing comments about them. So you don't have to worry about that too much!
Right now Gian's transformation is based off of Final Wars Godzilla, but it will change come post-timeskip.
And as for size, Partial Transformation brings Gian's height to 3 feet over Brook, and Full Transformation is just a few inches above Oars.
Triton's kaiju is based off of Titanosaurus.
And yes, Haki is unaffected during a transformation, so Kaiju-zoan users are still able to use them.
G: And we've answered everything! And thank you for your song suggestions, they are great.
Well that's all for now, we'll see you next chapter.
Leave a review and Gian will go face Full Life Consequences!
G: I have to shoot fast and bullets too slow!
