A/N: Like I said this is a major Wham Episode... trust me... hopefully the humor in the chapter won't be too jarring as I wanted to have some lighthearted moments because as I said this will be one of the darkest chapter yet... but still enjoy!
Chapter 55: Another West Blue Adventure
Star, Luffy and Marco decided to have another adventure in the Blue Dimension. This time to the West Blue. However the three of them stood on a rock middle of the ocean.
"Looks like we're going sailing!" said Star.
She created a small ship they could sail.
However they didn't notice a Marine Ship not to far off in the distance.
"What the…" said one of the Marines with binoculars.
"I see it too! It's like it's magic!" said the other one.
"This is insane! I mean boats don't just appear." Said the first.
"It can't be a Devil Fruit power, because that boat would just disappear when that thing hit the water!" said the second.
"What are you two babbling about?" asked a figure behind them.
Both of them jumped and bowed the figure.
"We're sorry sir!" both of them said.
"I said what are you babbling about!" yelled the figure, "It better be interesting."
The two marines told the mysterious man about what they saw.
"I think we might take a little detour." Said the figure with a smirk, "I've been in the mood for a new toy."
The marine didn't say anything. Mostly because they would know they would die if they disagreed with the figure.
On the small ship that Star had created they sailed.
"So what do you think is going to happen on that adventures?" cheerfully asked Star.
"Looks like Marines!" said Luffy.
They saw the Marine Ship approaching them fast.
"Oh come on!" muttered Star.
"I'm sure it won't be that bad." Said Marco, "From what I can gather it's Garp who's the crazy one…"
"Yeah, but I still don't like them…" muttered Luffy.
"He's going to be a pirate in a couple years, of course he doesn't like Marines." Laughed Star.
However due to the speed of the ship it was soon there.
"Those ships are fast." Sighed Marco.
"Yeah…" said Star.
"Hey you okay?" asked one of the marines.
"We saw you on the rock and that you created a ship." Said another.
"If you created a ship then that's a Devil Fruit power, you should really get up here." Said the first Marine.
"Let's get on." Said Luffy.
"Why?" asked Marco.
"Because their suspicious…" said Star, "Let's see what their up to."
They gave them a ladder and they climbed up.
"So what Devil Fruit do you have?" asked one of the marines.
"I don't have one." Sighed Star.
"Then how did you create the ship?" asked the marine charge.
"Oh I have magic." Said Star.
"What? Seriously?" asked one of the marines.
"Can you show us?" asked another of the marines.
"Sure!" said Star with a smirk.
She created a rainbow… which caught on fire.
The Marines all started freaking out the fire.
The Marines managed to put out the rainbow fire.
"I know their suspicious… but you seriously got to fix it." Said Marco.
"I know…" said Star with a smirk.
Once they put out the fire they all stared at Star.
"What else can you do?" asked the lead Marine.
All three of them were getting a bad feeling worse than before.
"What are you up to?" asked Star.
"What?" asked the head marine.
"You're up to something." Said Star.
"Just do it already." Said a voice.
All the marines tackled them. Three large piles of marines covered them so they wouldn't escape.
"What are you doing!" yelled Marco.
A marine kicked Star's wand out her hand.
"Hey!" yelled Star.
She tried fighting them off but there were too many on her.
That was when Marines put something around Star's neck. It was some sort of metal collar.
"I didn't do anything wrong! Why are you arresting me!" yelled Star.
"You're not being arrested." Said a voice.
That was when a mysterious figure appeared, it was a man. However there were two things that made him weird, the first was that his hair was done in an extremely strange style that was standing up tall. And the other he wore something like a space suit.
"What's with the space man." Said Star staring at him.
The strange man walked over to Star and kicked her in the face.
"I'm your new master!" yelled the strange space man, "But then again it's always fun breaking them."
"What do you mean new master!" yelled Luffy.
"I'm a Celestial Dragon and we always get what we want." Said the space man… who was in fact a Celestial Dragon.
Star and Marco's eyes widened. They knew what a Celestial Dragon was, after all Hancock, Marigold and Sandersonia were all salves to them at one point.
However Luffy was just enraged, he got the Marine pile off him.
However the Celestial Dragon just shot at Luffy.
However the bullets just bounced back.
"A Devil Fruit user." Said the Celestial Dragon.
However Luffy managed to kicked the pile from Marco with Gum Gum Whip.
"All right! Time to get there off me!" said Star.
"Get off her!" the Celestial Dragon ordered the marines.
"Looks like you changed your mind." Said Star.
She moved her arms to the collar. However the Celestial Dragon started laughing.
"You can't get that off or else it will explode." Said the Celestial Dragon.
Star froze when he said.
"I'd rather keep my toy in a good enough condition that she'll survive." Said the Celestial Dragon.
Both Marco and Luffy were seeing red when they saw that.
Marco fighting instincts that he gained in the Neverzone started to flair up.
He ran towards the Celestial Dragon. Ready to attack.
However the Celestial Dragon just took his gun and shot Marco.
Both Luffy and Star watched in horror as Marco fell to the deck clutching his arm.
Star started to cry… she knew she was in danger, but so was Marco…
"Luffy! Get Marco out of here!" yelled Star, "Worry about me later! Just save Marco!"
Luffy girted his teeth, however the last time he did this, where someone asked him to run away that person nearly got brainwashed, he knew that what ever will happen will probably be worse.
"Please Luffy! You can save me later!" cried Star.
He heard the words unsaid, "Get Ace and Sabo."
Luffy still didn't like it, but he ran over and grabbed Marco and took out his dimensional scissors and cut open a portal shocking the Marines.
"Go after him!" yelled the Celestial Dragon.
However the portal closed right away before any of them could go through.
The Celestial Dragon looked at where the portal will be.
Then walked over to Star and grabbed her face.
"So should I break you before they get back or after… then again breaking you will be so much… get that defiant spark out of your eyes…" muttered the Celestial Dragon.
Star gritted her teeth.
"I a real shame that I didn't bring a brand with me." Said the Celestial Dragon, "Oh well."
Star didn't say anything but inside she breathed a sigh of relief that he didn't have that on him.
She could only solace she could take was that she knew that where Marco was shot meant it was a good chance he was fine.
Meanwhile on Amazon Lily, Luffy and Marco appeared through a portal.
"Luffy! Marco!" cheered one of the women.
However they noticed Marco's Arm bleeding heavily.
"Someone go get Belladonna!" yelled one of them.
They took Marco to a house, where a woman with high cheekbones treated his arm.
"Thankfully it was only grazed." Said the woman who indeed Belladonna and the doctor of the island.
Marco however didn't respond.
Luffy was also uncharacteristically quiet.
Both of them knew why Luffy chose the island.
That was when Hancock entered the room.
"Marco are you all right?" asked Hancock.
"Yeah, just a graze." Marco said without much emotion.
She looked at Luffy and knew something was wrong right away, part of her was enraged, seeing the boy she loved in obvious pain, but kept on the inside.
"What's wrong?" asked Hancock then relied something, "Where's Star?"
Luffy just remained silent.
"I think we should talk about in the castle." Said Marco.
Hancock froze when he said that, then realized something.
There would only be one reason why they couldn't talk about it in front of Belladonna.
"All right… we'll talk about in the castle." Said Hancock.
They got to the castle.
Sandersonia and Marigold both entered the room.
"It was a Celestial dragon… wasn't it?" asked Hancock.
"Yeah it was." Said Marco.
Hancock started crying, while her sisters stood there in shock.
"We knew this would be the best spot to regroup." Said Marco, "Considering your history."
"It's okay if my brothers come here…" said Luffy.
"Of course!" said Hancock blushing.
"Will they keep the secret?" asked Sandersonia.
"I think so." Said Marco, "Plus you know, Sabo is a pirate captain under the Revolutionary Army."
"Aren't you going to call them?" asked Hancock.
Luffy even though it was a serious situation started to laugh a little.
"3, 2 and 1." Said Marco.
Marco's phone started to ring.
"You can set a watch to it." Said Marco.
This only made Luffy laugh even more.
Marco answered his phone with scissors already ready.
"Marco! Portal! Now!" yelled Ace on the other end.
Marco made the petal and Ace made his usual entrance causing the three Boa sisters gape.
Ace immediately noticed Hancock and got into a defensive position.
"Okay!" yelled Ace, "What is she doing here?"
"She's my friend!" said Luffy.
"What…" said Ace.
"We've been friends for months." Said Marco.
"She even came my birthday party." Said Luffy.
Ace was flabbergasted but managed to calm down.
"Okay… you managed opt befriend a War Lord known for her man hating ways… of course you did." Said Ace.
However once he was calm he noticed the tense atmosphere in the room, especially since the levity that brought had dissipated.
"Is something wrong?" asked Ace.
He noticed the bandage around Marco arm and that Star wasn't there.
"Where's Star!" yelled Ace.
"Do you know what a Celestial Dragon is?" asked Marco.
Ace paled considerably.
"Call Sabo now." said Ace, "Because he need to know about this."
Luffy nodded, "Call Sabo."
Sabo immediately answered.
"Hey Luffy." Said Sabo then saw how seriously, "What's wrong?"
"What do you know about Celestial dragons?"
"Why?" asked Sabo, "What happened?"
Star was taken by one." Muttered Luffy .
They heard thumps as if someone was running towards Sabo.
Sabo just sighed and seemed to bracing himself for something.
That was when it appeared someone had tackled Sabo and taken the mirror from him.
IT was Koala of all people.
"What do you mean Star was taken by a Celestial Dragon?" she asked.
Luffy didn't know how to answer that especially since the look on her face was a mixture of anger and sadness.
"Please whatever is going on let me help." Said Koala.
"Please get off me." Said Sabo with a sigh, "I understand your reason but your standing on me…"
Koala got up form Sabo.
"Sorry." Said Koala.
"Okay! Open up a portal. Because this needs to be a private conversation that my crew shouldn't listen in on!" said Sabo nearly shouting the second part.
"Me and Darla are already shooing everyone away because this is private!" he heard Molly yell.
"But still." Said Sabo.
"Just a heads up!" called out Ace, "Where we are will surprise you."
"Oh come on… I think with whatever is going I'm sure the location isn't that bad." said Sabo.
Marco opened the portal. Sabo and Koala walked through, Sabo's eyes widened, he had seen pictures of Hancock.
"What is Boa Hancock doing here?" asked Sabo.
"She our friend." Said Luffy.
"What…" said Sabo.
"She even went to Luffy's birthday part." Said Marco trying not to laugh remembering Ace's reaction
It was a tense situation, but they needed a small break, and watching Sabo's and to a lesser extent Koala's reactions were pretty funny and just what they needed.
"What!" yelled Sabo.
"You know… I don't know if it should be that spurring." Said Koala.
Sabo face palmed.
Once his bafflement faded they knew they needed to have an explanation.
"Okay…" said Ace, What happened?"
Meanwhile at the Marine ship Star was brought to a room.
"Take it that wand of yours can only work for you!" said the Celestial Dragon.
Star didn't answer.
Celestial Dragon walked over and smacked her.
"Answer me!" he yelled.
"It only works for my family." She said.
The Celestial Dragon seemed to smile evilly.
"In a few years." He said.
"What?" asked Star getting a bad feeling.
"Just never mind." Said Celestial Dragon, "But it will be much fun breaking you until then."
He then punched her much harder.
Meanwhile back on Amazon Lily they finished telling what happened.
"But I don't get it…" said Sabo, "Why did you come here, I get that she's your friend but why go to a War Lord?"
"Unless…" said Koala, "You were a slave… and they know about it…"
"What!" yelled Hancock looking read y tot kill, "I knew I would have to tell those two! But you came here without permission even if you are a woman. She…"
"Knows exactly what you went through." Said Koala cutting her off.
Koala immediately got up, she faced her back to Hancock and lifted up the back of her shirt. However there was what appeared to be a tattoo on her back of a sun. The three women froze when she did this.
"Fisher Tiger gave this to me." Said Koala.
"How… how old were you?" asked Marigold horrified knowing that Koala was much younger than them.
"Does it really matter?" muttered Koala.
"I'm sorry…" said Hancock she turned to Sabo, "Did you know?"
"Yeah, she told me when she joined." Said Sabo, "My first mate and doctor are only others that know."
"I had to explain why I had the symbol of the Sun Pirates on my back after all to my roommates." Said Koala.
"What?" asked Marco.
"The Sun Pirates were a pirate crew formed by Fisher Tiger." Said Hancock, "Many of them were former slaves, but not all of them… so all members that that mark to protect all of them."
"But for a human girl to have it…' said Sandersonia, "It can only mean one thing."
"As you can see you can trust me… I would never ever betray this secret." Said Koala, "Not when it's something we share…"
Marco, Luffy and Ace realized what it meant. That Koala was also a slave.
"So how do we handle this?" asked Sabo, "Because I have two ideas. The first is to go after them right away. All of us will be danger, and I'd rather not have Luffy and Marco get bounties… at least not yet for Luffy…"
"Not to mention if they call an admiral." Said Koala.
"But the longer Star is there… the more traumatized she will be…" said Sabo.
"What the other one?" asked Marco.
"We confess to Moon." Said Sabo, "Star will be upset and it will lead to a war between Mewni and the World Government… After all a Celestial Dragon taking the Princess of Mewni and combined with magic, there's no way that the World Governed can win…I don't know if it would be a good idea, after all the longer Star is there the more traumatized she will be… and to be honest will probably shatter our relationship with her."
"Not only did we tell her mom behind her back but…. Who knows how long we were leave her there…" said Ace.
"We go for the first one." Said Luffy, "We can't leave Star there!"
"He's right!" said Marco, "She's my best friend and I'm not leaving her back there… but I think we should bring in one more person."
"Really who?" asked Ace.
"Look I know what I'm about to say will make you question why I'm suggesting it… but understand I have a very good reason to…" sighed Marco, "I think we should bring Janna in."
"Marco are you feeling okay." Said Ace.
"You did get shot." Said Luffy.
"Look we need a magic user, and Janna would be the only one we can call right now." Said Marco.
"How good of a magic user is she?" asked Hancock.
"I think she's been doing stuff recently that's preventing her from getting caught." Said Marco.
"Star thinks she got Glossaryck to teach her a spell to get away with everything." Said Luffy.
"But will she keep the secret?" asked Sandersonia
"I think so… mostly because she's from a different dimension." Said Sabo.
"Also remember slavery is dead in our dimension…" said Marco.
"She was a guest at Luffy's part… and I've seen her magic." Said Hancock.
"Luffy please call her… I don't think I should be the one." Said Marco.
"Okay." Said Luffy.
He called Janna.
"Hey Luffy… let me guess some sort of evil thing and you want my help." Said Janna.
"Yeah." Said Luffy unsure how to respond to Janna.
"Let make a portal already." Said Janna.
Luffy did so. She rode in lounging on a giant floating eyeball.
"Is that a giant eye ball?" asked Marigold.
"Just ignore her weirdness…" muttered Marco, "It will make this conversation less awkward that way."
"So…" said Janna still sitting on the eyes, "What's up and does it have to with the fact Star isn't here?"
"Yeah…" sighed Marco.
Back in the marine ship, Star laid on a cot staring at the celling.
She sighed, there was nothing she could do right now. The Celestial Dragon had her wand and fighting back was not an option due to the bomb collar.
That was when the Celestial Dragon came into the room.
"What do you want?" asked Star.
"You know I want to break you? Right? And ding that requires a lot of visits while we're on this ship." Said the Celestial Dragon.
"Seriously?" asked Star glaring at him.
He punched her hard.
She cupped her cheek where she punched him.
However what she didn't know was that cracks were starting to form in her cheek marks.
He walked over and grabbed her face.
"Interesting… so it's not make up… I guess it's a magic thing then…" said the Celestial Dragon.
He then smacked her away .
She glared at him.
"I'll be back later." Said the Celestial Dragon.
Star glared at the Celestial Dragon as he left.
"Please come soon." She though hugging her knees.
Back on Amazon Lily…
"Okay… this sounds bad." Said Janna.
"yes… obviously…" said Marco.
"Don't worry, Glossaryck taught me a spell that will be help out with this." Said Janna.
"You think it will work?" asked Ace.
"I've used it a few times before." Said Janna with a shrug, "And trust me it will make sure it will keep us safe from any relation."
The others weren't sure, after they were about to basically taunt the World Government in a such a way that would put them all in danger for quite a while.
"We can't waste any more time talk we have to go now." Said Sabo.
"Thank you for letting us plan here." Ace boing a little to Hancock.
"Wait!" said Hancock, "I'm coming too!"
"What?" asked Sabo.
"I despise the Celestial Dragons… not to mention Star is my friend…" said Hancock, "I can't let her remain there!"
"But if you join us… then you'll lose everything." Said Sabo.
"Don't you think I don't know that!" yelled Hancock.
Marigold and Sandersonia looked at their sister. They despised them just as much.
"All right." Said Marigold.
"No…" said Hancock.
"What?" asked Marigold.
"I'm going to do with alone." Said Hancock.
"ahem…" said Marco who motioned to everyone else.
"I'm going to do this is without you." Said Hancock.
Her sisters began to cry.
"Why?" asked Sandersonia.
"I'm your older sister." Said Hancock, "If it's anyone who takes our revenge it's me. I think one of you will need to take my place if they demand it."
The three sisters hugged each other, knowing that things were going to change.
"Don't be over dramatic. Like I said the spell will make sure that they won't ever retaliate." Said Janna.
"What the spell exactly?" asked Sabo.
"I think you'll have to see for yourself." Said Janna with a shrug.
"Why are you friends with her?" Koala whispered to Marco.
"I don't' know…" sighed Marco.
Once the sisters broke the hug Luffy made the portal to the Marine Ship.
"Is everyone ready?" asked Ace.
"As ready as we'll ever be." Said Marco.
They headed through the portal, with Sandersonia and Marigold watching trying not to cry.
On the deck of the Marine Ship two of the marines made sure the coast was clear to talk about something.
"I don't know how long I can handle it! I feel extremely dirty! This is just wrong!" cried one of them.
"I know… but I've been on World Noble duty before…" sighed the other marine.
"How do you deal with it!" said the first marine.
"Just ignore it… and pretend it's not happening." Said the other marine.
"I don't think I can! There's a young girl being beaten!" said the first marine, "That's going to haunt me forever!"
That was when the portal opened and the two marines on deck saw it.
"They're back!" yelled the first.
Marines surrounded the portal. Marco and Luffy were the first two out of course. The marines were ready for the two of them.
Janna and Koala were the next two to emerge, the Marines figured that they would bring back up and since they weren't known they didn't get any response other than as back up.
Then Ace and Sabo came out of the portal.
"That's Fire Fist Ace!" yelled one of the marines.
"Blue Gentleman Sabo too!" yelled another of the Marines.
Then Hancock emerged from the portal.
"Boa Hancock! What is she doing here!" yelled another.
However those that were scared were immediately drawn to Hancock.
"Love Love Beam!"
She turned those Marines to stone.
"Can you turn them back?" asked Janna, "Because you'll get caught if their still stone."
"Yes I can." Said Hancock, "Unless that spell can really prevent them from retaliate I see no reason why."
"Time to show you!" said Janna.
She pointed to the two marines that were talking earlier.
"Mind Eraser! Pew Pew!" she said.
The spell hit the marines, both of them fell to the deck drooling and cationic
She then started pointing at some other marines saying "Mind Eraser! Pew Pew!"
However the other marines aimed attack for Janna, however the others started to back her up.
"Okay! What is that spell!" said Marco chopping down a few marines.
"It's a memory erasing spell. I've been using the past few weeks to avoid detention. It also leaves them catatonic for a few hours as side effect." Said Janna, "I've done a lot of thing but the teachers completely forgot about it."
"Why didn't you just say you had a memory wiping spell?" asked Sabo.
"More fun this way." Said Janna with a shrug.
Marco had stolen a sword from a fallen Marine and cut using a razor wind.
:All right!" said Sabo, "Myself and Koala will look for the communication room and secret it so they can call for help. Ace and Hancock will defend Janna."
"Why are you order us around?" asked Hancock glaring at Sabo.
"I think it's a good idea." Said Luffy.
"You're right." Said Hancock blushing a little, "Sorry."
Ace and Sabo looked at each other from the corner of their eyes and knew they had to talk about it later.
"And Marco ad Luffy will look for Star." Finished Sabo.
They nodded and once all the Marines were taken care of they broke into the three groups.
Sabo and Koala looked for the commutations room.
Koala punched the air however it sent several of the marines flying.
Sabo grabbed his pipe and smirked, his hand and the pipe itself had turned black. She smashed a couple of the marines with it.
"Looks like your Haki is getting better." Said Koala.
Sabo smiled, it helped he was determined to save Star.
Elsewhere on the ship, Ace and Hancock were asking down the marines.
Hancock created a heart with a kiss.
"Pistol kiss!" she called out shooting the heart.
This hit one of the Marines.
"Fire Gun!" said Ace shooting bullets made out of fire form his hands.
"Mind Eraser! Pew Pew!" called out Janna erasing their memories and causing them to go catatonic.
"Is "Pew Pew" part of the incantation or are you just saying that for fun?" asked Ace.
"It's part of the incantation." Said Janna.
That was when they saw a large crowd of Marines headed their way.
"Maybe I should also pull my weight." Said Janna.
"You've been erasing their memories and leaving them like that the whole time." said Hancock, "And many of you took out without her help."
"I think she just wants to use her strongest spell." Said Ace.
That was when Janna created a Baby Marco with Wheels for Hands.
"I'm baby Marco! And I have wheels for hands!" said Baby Marco for Wheels For Hands and then went overt to run over the Marines.
"What…" said Hancock.
"Yeah…" sighed Ace.
The Celestial Dragon heard the screams on the ship. And knew that they had returned.
And he knew they probably brought back up.
However it didn't matter because he had a plan to deal with them.
He went to Star's room, she heard the screams and yells from the marines.
"What hell is up with that baby!" she heard a marine yell.
"Whee!" was rather familiar cheered rang out.
"Janna you scoundrel." Said Star with a slight smile realizing that's one of the people who came to rescue.
That was when the Celestial Dragon barged into the room.
"You!" yelled the Celestial Dragon.
He held the wand having grabbed it.
He grabbed her by her hair.
"Let go of the hair!" cried Star.
The Celestial Dragon kicked her in the back.
"This is all your fault!" he yelled.
"It's yours if you hadn't kidnapped me they wouldn't be attacking you." Muttered Star.
He dragged her out of the room.
However it turned out that was when Luffy and Marco had arrived to find them.
"Star!" said Luffy.
"Put her down!" said Marco.
"I won't! She mine"! said the Celestial Dragon, "Leave now and take away your little friend or else I'll call an admiral! You don't want to see them!"
Neither one relented only hoping that Sabo and Koala had already done their job.
"Oh well I hope it's Akainu, he's quite thorough when it comes to criminals!" laughed the Celestial dragon.
He tossed the wand away and took out a baby Transponder Snail.
"Send out for an Admiral Now." Said the Celestial Dragon into the baby Transponder.
"I'm sorry I'm afraid I can't do that." Said the voice on the other end.
Both Marco and Luffy smiled at the voice and Star tried not to cry.
She recognized the voice too.
"Why not!" yelled the Celestial Dragon, "I am Saint Rupert! I order you to send out for an admiral."
"You don't' get do you? You're not dealing with a bunch of idioms… you honestly didn't think that we wouldn't go for the communications room of a ship carrying a Celestial Dragon as the first location?" asked the voice, "We're already taken out everyone in this room!"
"Mind Eraser! Pew Pew!" they heard Janna's voice.
"And now they won't be able to remember the last 24 hours!" said the voice, "Surrender my sister or else you'll know pain and trust me… you're dealing with a group that wants your blood right now."
Saint Rupert as he was known as began to get extremely angry.
He tossed away the baby transponder snail.
He lifted Star by the hair lifting her off the ground.
Then made an effort to grab her collar.
"I though her skills would amazing but it look like she'll be a wasted effort." Said Saint Rupert.
"No…" said Marco.
However Luffy looked at the wand, he never tired it and to be honest he never cared about using magic, sure it was awesome but it would just make things too easy.
But in this case too easy was something he needed.
HE stretched to grab the wand.
There was a surprisingly bright flash of light when he grabbed it.
When the light was clear the wand was a very different shape.
The handle was red, however the crystal seemed to take up the entire top of the wand (or rather the part wasn't broken off) and was a shinning white skull, although it was a skull it was rather cute. However the part that was broken up was still a skull but was metal that seemed to reflect in a greenish tint.
"No way!" said Marco.
"Kick his ass with magic Luffy!" yelled Star.
"Mega Super Beam Blast!" yelled Luffy shooting a red beam from the wand as yellow cheek marks in the shape of Xs appeared on his cheeks.
When the beam Saint Rupert he let go of Star.
Star scrambled to Marco knowing that Luffy got this.
At the same time the other five arrived as they thoroughly went over the deck. And saw that just about everyone was taken care of thanks to ether Janna's spell or Hancock's powers (which she would reverse before they leave)
"What…" said Ace.
"Is Luffy using the wand?" asked Sabo.
"Mega Fist Punch!" called out Luffy.
A large glowing fist came out of the wand and his Saint Rupert
With those watching, Hancock's eye became hearts as her nose started to bleed.
"Are you okay? Asked Janna.
It should be noted that people in the blue dimension that when they got really aroused their noses would start bleeding.
So this made Koala a little uncomfortable and Sabo and Ace EXTREMELY uncomfortable.
"Okay! Seriously! We are going to have to talk later!" said Ace.
Hancock blushed bright red realized where her nose was bleeding
Back with the fight however Luffy smirked knowing what to use next.
"Narwhal Blast!" called out Luffy.
The Narwhal hit the Celestial Dragon hard.
Luffy turned around at Star and smiled.
"You always wanted to do that, didn't you?" asked Star trying not to laugh.
However what Luffy didn't know was Saint Rupert managed to get the Narwhal off him, while it did shatter his helmet, he got up and took out his gun.
He smiled evilly as he so Luffy in the back.
However while normally this wouldn't affect Luffy, he was expecting him to return so he had loaded his gun with Sea Stone bullets.
Everyone watched in horror as Luffy fell to the floor as the cheek marks faded from his face.
Star was furious.
Earlier she was shocked when Marco got shot… but she noticed that where he got shot wasn't that bad and getting treatment would be the best thing to do combined with the fact she still wasn't used to Dipping Down.
This one the other hand… this pushed her over the edge.
No one had any time to react when Star was bathed in golden light the cracks in her cheeks marks healed and started to glow. She screamed, as the collar she was wearing disappeared in golden sparkles, at the same time the bullet floated out of Luffy's wound and also disappeared in a golden light as the wound magically closed.
Star also sent out a beam of golden light at Saint Rupert, it sent him crashing through several rooms and thankfully for everyone eh didn't breach the hull.
Star fell to the ground unconscious, while Luffy got up and ran over to her.
"The fact that didn't use her ultimate form and her spells took a lot out of her." Sighed Sabo, "Combined with the beatings she probably received too."
"Hey Janna." Said Marco.
"On it!" said Janna.
She ran over to the barely conscious Celestial Dragon.
"You know what… I erased the last 24 hours from all the Marines Minds… but I think you need a total wipe." Said Janna, "Mind Eraser! Pew Pew!"
Luffy held onto Star and hugged her.
"We still need to turn undo the ones that were turned to stone." Said Ace.
"I know." Said Hancock.
After doing just that and double checking through out the ship to find anyone who escaped getting their mind erased, they headed back to Amazon Lily.
Marigold and Sandersonia were surprised that they came back at all.
"Turned out the spell that Janna was talking about was memory erasing spell." Said Hancock.
"So we could have come." Said Sandersonia.
"You wouldn't have done anything to him though." Said Janna.
"How is she?" asked Marigold.
"She used way too much magic with out a wand so she's going to be out for a while." Said Sabo.
"You can stay here for as long as you need." Said Hancock blushing a little.
"We need to talk by the way…" said Ace.
"About Luffy." Said Sabo.
Luffy was more worried about Star at the moment to notice how his brothers were going to talk to Hancock.
Thankfully she explained that wasn't planning on doing anything to Luffy until he was of age and she truly did love him romantically because of his kindness and bright attitude.
Both of them were just shocked by this fact but divided to call it a wash considering it was clear that she really did care for Luffy as well as Star.
Sometime later, Star finally woke up.
"What… happened?" asked Star.
Then she saw that Luffy and Marco were both sitting by her bed side.
"Luffy you're okay!" she cried hugging her brother.
"Yeah! You used magic and fixed me." Said Luffy.
Star just cried in his chest.
Turned out they weren't in the room alone.
Ace, Sabo, Koala, Janna, Hancock, Sandersonia, Marigold and Nyon were also in the room.
Once she had stopped crying.
"Hey! You need this back." Said Luffy giving back the wand.
When she grabbed it turned back to Star's shape.
"How was Luffy able to use the wand?" asked Ace.
"Maybe because of sibling bond I guess." Said Sabo.
"Or it's magic." Said Janna.
"Star did he…" said Hancock.
"Thankfully no." said Star, "They didn't have it on them so I didn't get one…"
That was when she remembered something…
"Oh I think it's fitting that I perfected a certain spell I was working on." Said Star, "It's something for you three."
"Wait a spell for us?" asked Marigold.
That was when it hit Ace.
"Wait… that healing spell you were working on…" said Ace.
"It was for them." Said Star with a sad smile.
"Healing spell?" asked Sandersonia.
Star explained the spell, and all three of them showed their brands to her.
"Burnuim scarus removio!" she called out.
All three of them felt a warmth on their backs as the marks of the Celestial Dragons faded away.
"They're gone!" said Nyon.
All three sisters ran over to Star crying hugging her.
"I don't think we can ever pay you back for his!" cried Marigold.
"We're finally completely free!" cried Sandersonia.
"We all owe you so much." Cried Hancock, "I don't' think we will ever be able to repay you."
Koala smiled at the hug, she knew they were feeling the thing she knew all too well.
"Wait… what about yours?" asked Marco to Koala.
"Mine was tuned to a mark of freedom." Said Koala, "No way am I getting rid of it."
Marco nodded.
That was when Koala had a look on her face as if she just remembered something she had forgotten and to be fair it make since why she had forgotten about.
She walked over to Ace and punched him in the face.
"What that for!" yelled Ace.
"For that stupid move for what you pulled in Jimbei!" yelled Koala.
"Oh… right… you did threaten to punch me for that…" muttered Ace as everyone stared at what just happened, even breaking the tearful high between the sisters and Star.
"Hey! We have to step out for a bit." Said Sabo remembering
"Why?" asked Luffy.
"Because let's just say we have to report what happened." Said Koala.
Durring the time that Star was unconscious, Marco lent Koala his dimensional scissors to pick up their Transponder Snail.
"Hello?" asked t man's voice picking up.
"It's Sabo, myself and Koala got into an Incident with a Celestial Dragon in the West Blue." Sighed Sabo hoping that the two would get into trouble.
"There are already reports of a Marine Ship carrying a Celestial Dragon getting mysteriously attacked. All the Marines had lost an entire day's worth of memories while the Celestial Dragon was completely mind whipped." Said the voice, "I was talking with the Chief of Staff and she said that magic was probably behind it… so I guess something happened with either Luffy or Star."
Sabo explained what had happened and the person on the other sighed once given most of the details (as he left out Hancock's identity)
"In this case I will let it slide." Said the voice, "I can't blame you or Koala for helping out. She is your sister…"
"I know you probably would have thought it would be been a better idea to go tell Moon but I couldn't do that… to leave her with that monster for who knows how long." Sabo practically growled out.
"I know the bond you share…" said the man on the other end, "How is she doing?"
"I don't' know… she seems fine… but…" said Sabo.
"Something's wrong…" said the man on the other end.
"Yeah." Sighed Sabo.
"How's Luffy." Said the man on the other side.
"I've told you many times. I'm not telling you until you introduce yourself to him." said Sabo rather angrily.
The Man on the other side grumbled while Koala tried to hide a smile at this.
"You should go comfort your sister." Said the man on the other side.
"I will Dragon. And thank you for understanding." Said Sabo.
The man who was talking to was Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, and the two had met in person after Sabo joined.
On the other end Dragon hung up on his end, as it turned out he was the man that Sabo had met on that day.
And indeed he remembered Sabo from that day as well and was actually quite surprised by the coincidence.
"So what do you think about the events?" he asked a woman who was covered in shadows.
The woman shrugged not saying a word, she was the Chief of Staff.
Back on Amazon Lily. Sabo to the room where Star was recovering.
"Hey I need to talk to my brothers about something." Said Star.
The others knew they had to leave the room.
"Marco can stay." Said Star.
Once they were out of the room Star hugged her knees.
"What I'm about say is something I never thought I would say until I was an adult or queen." Said Stare not looking at any one.
She lifted her head to look at everyone in the room were all concerned about what was going on.
"I think… it's time to tell mom." She said.
