Chapter 18: Enigma
Lucy dashed and kicked through the air as she Moon Walked toward the Navy ship. Commodore Paxton Shaved after her and Lee raised a barrier to black his path. Marines fired at their group and they dispersed to engage the marines.
Lee crashed into marines with crushing blows and Chihiro struck them down with swift palm strikes. Behind them were Willem, Duros, Ragnar and Pearl. Willem like Lucy was a Doctor, Ragnar was the Shipwright. Duros was the cook. And Pearl was the Helmsman.
Lucy landed on the Navy ship and cut down a group of marines nearby. She conjured her 'Room' and leapt into the air, she sliced her sword downward and split the ship in two! The two pieces of the ship sank down and marines were hurled into the sea as Lucy Moon Walked back to the dock.
The Enigma Pirates and the marines clashed on the dock, gunfire erupting as bullets flew about. Lee crossed his fingers and conjured a barrier around his hand, he skipped forward and slammed the barrier into Commodore Paxton's gut. He stumbled back and kicked at Lee who conjured a barrier to block the attack. Lucy landed beside them and sliced her blade through Paxton's side.
Commodore Paxton skipped away from the duo as marines fired at them, Lee shielding them with a barrier. Paxton placed his hand over his injury and a dark orange shimmering glow emanated from his hand and his injury disappeared, even his clothes were fixed.
Willem held a pistol in each hand and blasted them at marines as he dashed around. Duros wielded a longsword and Ragnar had a wicked looking greataxe, the two of them shredded through the marines easily. Chihiro and Pearl leapt around together and struck down marines with precise strikes.
Lee dropped his barrier and charged forward with Lucy, they rushed at Commodore Paxton and Ensign Leorio Shaved between them and sent a kick that Lee blocked with his arm. Lee and Leorio exchanged rapid blows and Lucy conjured her 'Room'. Paxton skipped around and lunged at Lucy, she Shaved to her left and then aimed her sword at the Commodore, "Injection Shot!" She dashed forward and jabbed the point of her sword into his gut and he reeled back, coughing blood.
Ensign Leorio lunged at Lee and they exchanged blows, Lee conjured another barrier around his hand and slammed it into Leorio's forehead. Leorio stumbled back and fell to the ground unconscious. Commodore Paxton groaned and placed his hand over his gut and Lucy pounced at him, she swung her sword swiftly and cleaved his arm off at the elbow. Paxton used his other arm to throw a heavy punch at her and Lucy traded places with his detached arm, she swung her sword again and cut him in half at the waist!
The marines were defeated and Paxton laid in pieces on the ground. Lucy stared down at him and smiled. The Commodore spat at Lucy and missed, Chihiro kicked him on the chin in response.
"Where's dear old dad?" Lucy asked.
Paxton shook his head and barked, "Piss off, you bitch!"
Lucy smiled and said, "I'll put you back together if you're a good boy, okay?"
He glared at her and reluctantly said, "I'm not sure where he is. I know that the Blue Dragon and Pink Harpy are here in Paradise."
"No matter, I'll find him soon enough." Lucy stated.
"You bunch of traitors are gonna pay for this, for everything!" Paxton shouted and Lucy stabbed her sword down into his head, killing him.
The Enigma Pirates gathered themselves together and walked further down the dock. Their submarine was at the far end of the dock and they walked onto the upper deck and opened the hatch, one by one they descended inside the vessel. The hatch was sealed shut and everyone made preparations for departure. Chihiro steered the submarine and slowly descended into the water as they sailed due east.
Duros cooked them all dinner and the group of them sat down to eat as the submarine sailed onward. They ate spaghetti and salad and bread as they sat around the main chamber of the sub.
"The marines really don't like us, huh?" Pearl spoke suddenly.
"It's only natural, most of us abandoned the marines and became pirates." Willem said with a chuckle.
"It'll only get worse from here on out." Lucy said to them all.
"We're on the ship of the future Pirate King." Ragnar said with a smile, "There will be a ton of marines and other pirates that we'll have to crush in order to get there."
Lucy smiled widely and said, "It'll be a dangerous journey but we're gonna get there no matter what."
"I'm just happy to be with you all instead of the marines." Duros said between bites.
"G-1 is further along the Grand Line, we're still heading there, right?" Chihiro asked.
"That's the plan." Lucy, nodding her head.
"Who are the Blue Dragon and Pink Harpy?" Pearl asked.
"Admirals Asuma and Kikyo." Lucy answered. "The third Admiral is the Green Lemur, my father."
Lucy excused herself from the others after dinner and walked to her quarters. She undressed and piled her clothes on a chair. She laid on her bed and closed her eyes, trying to sleep. It took her awhile but she finally drifted off to sleep and echoes of the past flowed into her dreams.
At eight years old, Lucy was dropped off at Enies Lobby to train with CP9. She was beaten and pushed well beyond her limits as the secret Government agents broke her and shaped her into an efficient killer. She trained on the afternoon island for three years until her father, Admiral Law, finally came to pick her up.
Her father was a tough and unloving man that only cared about how strong she was. Admiral Law wanted a son and Lucy was an embarrassment to him and his name.
"I want to go home, father." She said to him as she boarded his ship.
"Your training isn't done, soldier." Admiral Law told her roughly.
"I don't wanna be a soldier or a marine!" Lucy shouted at him.
Her father smacked her in the face hard with the back of his hand and said, "Don't show yourself above deck until we arrive."
Lucy refused to cry and stormed across the deck and below to her quarters. She spent the entire voyage in her room, training and praying for a chance to run away. They had entered the New World and arrived at a marine base. She was dropped off and sent back to training.
She would train all morning and go to school in the afternoon, improving both her strength and knowledge. She read the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia and medical books as she trained herself to become a Doctor! After another three years, Lucy was enlisted into the marines.
She met Lee, Chihiro, Duros and Willem in the marines, each of them a Seaman Recruit. They did chores together and became fast friends as the weeks passed and they were assigned to a ship together. The World Government and the Navy commit atrocities everyday, that was the biggest lesson that Lucy learned through all of her training and schoolwork.
When the Captain of her ship recovered the Op-Op Fruit on some desolate island in the New World, there were orders to deliver it to Marie Jois. The Celestial Dragons wanted it, the ultimate Devil Fruit. Lucy had read about it in the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia and as a Doctor it would benefit her greatly. She relayed a plan to her friends and they staged a mutiny on the ship!
They took control of the ship and Lucy ate the Op-Op Fruit as they sailed off on the stolen ship. Chihiro directed them and steered the ship north through the calm belt and they fled to the North Blue. Having cast the Navy behind, Lucy declared to her friends that she would become the King of the Pirates! They dubbed themselves the Enigma Pirates and sailed off through the North Blue to start their career as lawbreakers.
As an eighteen year old woman pirate Captain, Lucy had to put up with a lot of shit from other pirates and the marines that hunted after them. They sailed around the North Blue making names for themselves. The Navy realized that they were responsible for what Lucy had become, they had created their own enemy. Lucy immediately wanted to go to the Grand Line but took the safe route and took her time in the North Blue.
Lee found and ate the Barrier-Barrier Fruit on Shrubbin and they met Ragnar living in the forest. He joined their crew almost immediately and fit in perfectly with the rest of the Enigma Pirates. They found Pearl living on the streets of Qanton city and they welcomed her into the crew with open arms. After two years sailing the North Blue, they decided to hit the Grand Line.
Lucy awoke suddenly and sat up straight, she wiped her brow and stood up. She put her clothes back on and stepped out to the main chamber of the sub and walked to the kitchen. She poured herself a glass of wine and drank it quickly.
It had taken two days for the Log Pose to store the log and point to the next island. The Misfits sailed away from Bunnyville and travelled across the sea for four days heading toward the next island. Before they ever saw an island, they saw an incredibly tall tower stretching up into the sky. They sailed straight toward the tower as an island began to come into view.
"Holy shit! This is Heaven's Arena!" Shuhei shouted as they approached the island.
"Heaven's Arena?" Mugen asked.
"The tower is two hundred and fifty one floors and every floor is an arena for competitive fights." Shuhei explained.
"Awesome!" Asuka and Zika exclaimed.
"Have you been here before?" Bulma asked.
Shuhei nodded and said, "Yeah, my dad sent me here when I was six. He told me not to come home until I reached the two-hundredth floor."
"And you made it all the way there?" Yasui asked with an amazed look on his face.
"Yep. I mean I didn't leave here until I was ten but I made it, yeah."
They dropped the anchor and docked their ship on the southwestern side of the port that surrounded the island like a ring. They left their ship at the port and walked closer to the looming tower in front of them.
