Chapter 8 all set and ready, only 7 more to go and counting. I hope the last chapter to some of your liking now, for this chapter we will start right back with the Straw Hats and Committee who must regroup in time to organize an plan and stop specter's world domination and the heartless he has with him.
Just to be clear, with the Swordsmen which consist of Zoro, Leon, Cloud, and Auron. I had them separate for now as no doubt in the One Piece manga, this kind of randomness happen when the Straw Hats are trying to enjoy themselves and suddenly some big bad decides to be up their arse about it. Another thing if you notice is I'm trying not to use to many swearing words. This is because I would have to change the ratings to M at some point. So for now this is what will be used from now and then.
Now for the bottom of the page, I will show a chart of the Heartless from Freakish Shadow 10 and the Mind controlled individuals including specter along with Straw Hat Pirates and Committee that will be involve through this conflict. Also for future reference, Aizen is the Main antagonist of this story, his involvement will be more relevant once he meets the Committee and Straw Hats while facing his own enemies. This will lead to three different groups from One Piece(Straw Hats), Kingdom Hearts(Final Fantasy characters plus Merlin and Archimedes), and Blech(Ichigo's group).
The last one I have to think about first as that is tricky since Ichigo's group is more random despite having barely any arcs/saga in the series including filler arcs from anime. If you have some thoughts, make a review and I will put this in consideration. Currently the Straw Hats and Committee equals about over or less to 20 main characters in the story.
Disclaimer: I don't own One Piece, Kingdom Hearts, Ape Escape, or anything except OC's.
Chapter 8: City of Apes 4 - Pirates Assemble
Some minutes back
Back at the Professor's Lab, after Sanji, Usopp and Gullwing had taken care of the heartless and monkeys alike the group had time to gather their wits and try to figure out what is going on in this world. The Professor, Natalie and Aki had thank them for saving their lives, and like always Sanji's reaction to women was more or less charming as always. So while everyone is resting, Sanji volunteer to cook something quick for their host and everyone else. As they waited for Sanji to finish his cooking the room is awkwardly silent as they just meet and had no way to start conversation. Aki slowly got up to check the remote and look for the channel about the Monkey Invasion that is happening.
Once again our daily news update is on the scenes as monkeys once more are starting the invasion. This time however their appears to be some dark creatures, one of our reports had spotted a symbol that looks like a red heart with black thorns in some X formation. Whatever they are, it appears when they attack someone they somehow turned into pink hearts floating towards an dark vortex which then creates new dark creatures with that symbol on them. Our scientist are working tirelessly to explain this phenomenon. Unfortunately due to the dangers of the Monkeys and these dark creatures, we cannot move towards the scene with our news about them or what is going on currently, however we will take this time towards our reports up in the air watching the scenes unfold.
As the news went on, Usopp became worried as did Paine, Yuna, and Rikka who are watching and wondering what has happen to their friends. Normally The Professor, Natalie and Aki would have been more active instead of taking a rest. But with these dark creatures around, they were exploring new territory unknown to them. To add even more worries, they had never dealt with something that is willing to kill people so easily. Even the Monkeys have become more serious in this invasion, they are still the same old monkeys that goof off and cause mayhem, but they are now acting on more violent actions this time around. Normally not many people get hurt due to their simple minded nature, but now their are actual people dying in fights and skirmish that are too scary to watch.
Taking note of Usopp, Paine, Yuna, and Rikka's worried expression, Aki started the conversation to keep their minds off these troublesome times, "How did you guys like touring our city? Sorry this happen in your visit, but we are kinda used to Specter and his world domination plan. Though the black creatures are new, if only we can figure out what sort of creatures they are we could find better ways to counter them." Aki said worried her nephew and niece, along with their friends.
"Don't worry madam, if they can handle monkeys then those heartless are history." Yuna assured Aki, they are still unable to get used to magic being real instead of fantasy, but something that Yuna about the creatures.
"Wait, you said Heartless? What the heck is that." Natalie asked never heard such name before.
"Heartless are creatures of darkness, they can existed in our hearts as dark halves which can be swallowed turning in heartless themselves. Those black creatures are called heartless for that reason." Sanji said bringing in some food for everyone, Sanji then dance with hearts in his eyes giving each lady a treats such as fruits, drinks or some fancy stuff. Usopp and The Professor are given average snacks which they were alright having Yuna, Rikku, and Paine explained their best about the heartless and the dangers of darkness. The five kept in mind about existing worlds from this one, because it would break the world order. If anyone else were here explaining no doubt Luffy, Chopper and Usopp if left alone would spill the beans about other worlds.
For The Professor, Aki, and Natalie, they are handling this pretty well it seemed. Sanji and Usopp weren't sure if this information was to overwhelming or just something unbelievable. For them they had some hard time to accept such things as heartless are real, but when compared to worlds outside your own that's a whole new experience altogether.
"Fascinating, so these monsters are actual creatures from darkness. Does that mean there are some alien life outside our own planet?" The Professor excitingly asked, Usopp, Sanji, Yuna, Rikku, and Paine look at him weirdly.
"Um, didn't you hear what we said?" Paine asked confused by his response.
"Oh, yes. But we have to be realistic, those monsters have to be some alien life form from another dimension. I mean this whole thing of light vs darkness, monsters and magic is nothing, but children imagination made by there sub-conscious mind. Something that is considered a concept, nothing more old view from facts and logic. So fi you can tell me what planet your from, I'll be sure to visit you someday and give those AI programs beside you a good look." The Professor said with a smile. The five couldn't believe the denial of this scientist, guess it was for the best though since that would complicate things if he realize the truth. Besides they didn't explained how they are pirates as of yet, giving these people time to process the information they are given.
This is news reporter Amalie Strongheart live from air. We are getting reports of some strange people attacking the apes and dark creatures, at the moment we are unclear who these individuals. Hold on... We just got reports that these people are pirates, I don't mean pirates in patch eyes or beg-legs either. These people are actual pirates with their own ship that looks like some lion with sunflower as it's mane. We have the individuals pictures now, as the governments are trying to investigate their visit are related to these dark creatures. They are armed and dangerous we advise you to avoid them at all times.
The news had shown some imagines where Luffy and some others are surrounded by monkeys and dark creatures alike. At the same time their identities as pirates, are shown labeled as wanted by the government officials law enforcer. Add bonus is imagines to their pirate ship which is also seen taken away by some weird device. As bad that sounds, it can't compare to the reactions from The Professor, Aki, and Natalie who had their jaws wide open along with their eyes widen, even through witness their combat abilities on TV had just made them confused as heck. None had to say except stare at the five, with Usopp acting sheepish in front of their host.
"Can we ask you guys a favor." Usopp sheepishly asked embarrassed by Luffy's antics getting him in trouble.
City Streets - Ongoing fighting
We now return to Luffy, Nami, Yuffie, Robin, Aerith, Chopper, Merlin, and Archimedes fighting an horde of heartless and monkeys alike. Among them Luffy, Yuffie and Chopper are their best fighters at the moment. Considering the situation at hand, the monster trio are no where in sight, but doesn't mean everyone else isn't strong in their own way. Backing them up Robin, Aerith, Merlin and Nami are helping cleaning house with these heartless. At times Merlin has to hold Nami back, knowing heartless destroyed earns you money. So far they are alright, but they can't keep this fight up forever.
"Shoo, go away." Archimedes shouted being nearly grab or shot by Heartless and Monkeys who happens to see him.
"Why you." Archimedes had to dodge another nearly landed hard if Robin hadn't grab him and pass him towards her for safety as Merlin cast another powerful spell towards their enemies.
"Thanks." He was about to warn Robin, when a hand pop out grabbing the heartless shadow and smashing it towards the ground.
"Your welcome." Robin keep her focus, using many different techniques she wouldn't normally display at once. In fact this is probably here most she has used in combat using her devil fruit powers in Robin's life.
"Grr they just keep coming." Yuffie annoyed by consistent attacks from both heartless and monkeys who some made fun of them is getting tiresome.
"I don't hear any complaints about you fighting, just keep those heartless coming." Nami shouted.
"YOUR SAYING THAT BECAUSE THEY DROP MUMMY!" Yuffie shouted back, when Nami look at Yuffie she gave her innocent look, "Huh, I just don't want all the heartless to escape."
"THAT'S WORST!" Before long the heartless started to bring in more dangerous types with Monkeys tagging along with their mecha suits. For the heartless they began brining Darkside in dozen surrounding them. For the Monkeys, Spector has employed a new series of robots known as Goliaths. Each one meant for handling threats that any monkey can't handle themselves. Only three new Goliath series has been develop, the first are Tank Goliaths as big as houses. They are used for heavily military enforcements. On their backs are anti-aircraft machine guns filled with at least 10 thousands bullets firing at least 300 bullets for 12 seconds. The hands are replace with cannons allowing them more fire power, but unable to fight in close combat. Combing both Darkside's and Tank Goliaths there are at least over 2 dozen at one time.
Nami look at the Darksides with sparkles, then shouted at Luffy, "Luffy! kick those monster butt, and bring me my money!" Nami demanded.
"Would you quit it!" Yuffie yelled. But no sooner had they showed up, Merlin had enough of thee heartless and monkeys as he decided to use one of his most powerful spells to date.
"That's it, time to fight fire with fire." Merlin said.
"Oh ho, everyone take cover near Merlin." Doing as Archimedes said everyone moved in close with Merlin saying his magic words. The Straw Hats were unsure what was happening, but trusted them since they will be riding together for awhile.
Higitus Figitus Migitus Mum, Wind and Storm, Storm and Blow!
Once he cast his spell an huge wind blast formed by the clouds where storms are blowing shooting out lighting and thunder at surviving enemies. Most of them are heartless who are destroyed leaving nothing but mist of darkness to the wind. Merlin fell on his knees tired from using his strongest magic. Both Aerith and Robin help him up seeing he is too tired to fight.
"You alright Merlin." Aerith asked and Merlin replied, "Yes, just too old for these things. But still have enough energy to fight." Not long the heartless started to regroup once more, while the monkeys are more fearful of these strangers, not used to the idea of people fighting back against them. The Heartless decided to regroup ready to attack once more. Only for an helicopter to arrive with enough room for everyone to ride in. The doors open revealing Sanji taking command of their recuse mission.
"Ladies First, everyone else get in line." Doing as he says Nami, Robin, Yuffie, Aerith went first then Luffy, Chopper, Merlin, and Archimedes followed next. Everyone seated in they took off before the heartless could try attacking them. Seeing them leave both monkeys and heartless went back to their business pre-instructed by Specter.
The Professor's Laboratory
Surprisingly all three The Professor, Natalie and Aki aren't afraid of the Straw Hat Pirates. In fact they are grateful for them saving their lives, Even more some of the Committee members explained better details of the heartless and what those creatures do to people. The more they understood, the more they realize how things are much worse then imagine. They in turn explained to the Pirates and Committee about Specter and their encounters. So far they haven't heard anything from the kids as of late. This worried them especially since all of them are expert monkey hunters. But with these people helping them out, no doubt they stand a better chance against Specter and his new allies The Heartless will stand no chance against them.
"WHOA, this is so cool!" Luffy is having a field day with The Professor's inventions either has cool or exciting to mess around.
"My I haven't met anyone interest this excited for science since my collage years." The Professor said proudly.
"He's not, more like if it's cool or interesting Luffy will have fun with your invention." Nami said, which is followed by Luffy breaking some invention after messing around too long. Luffy stood for a moment and had his eyes looking elsewhere while his mouth moved more the side.
"Hey, if you hear something crash, it fell on it's own." Luffy tried to lie, but is too obvious. Nami gently place a hand on her face shaking her head at Luffy. Everyone else got themselves relax wanting to discuss the events that has transpired at the moment. The news reports are somehow able to show details of the events from Heartless taking people's into creating more monsters and Monkeys are working alongside them in some strange alliance. Those living on the world namely The Professor, Natalie and Aki are explaining to those who have not heard all the details they just explained earlier to Sanji, Usopp, Paine, Rikku, and Yuna. After they explained about Specter and his monkey invasions, Those in the Committee explained the heartless and the dangers they present to this world, but kept in mind about other worlds being in secret. Although The Professor has no problems of those creatures being another world, he still try to explain the science over believing magic is real.
"Doesn't this Specter learn he can't rule the world? I mean you guys have been beating him and his monkey allies for most of his schemes." Yuffie asked an good question, they shrug in response since it's understandable most bad guys never learn.
"What we should be concern about is the heartless and this Specter's plan. I have no doubt that Specter himself is an threat with his powers and ability to form his own army. But seeing him using these heartless in some shape for form tells me that he's either controlling the heartless or being influence by the darkness." Merlin points out having fought heartless with other people before.
"What do you mean used? Isn't Specter the one controlling the heartless?" Natalie asked the Wizard, everyone else is curious by his claim as well.
"Normally that would be the case, however since this invasion I sense there is more going on then we realize." Merlin spoke his thoughts.
"He's right, you have explained that Specter has this telepathic abilities yes?" Archimedes asked the trio who nodded in yes, still not used to owls talking out of nowhere, "Well that maybe the problem, in all our adventures we have encountered. Most of them controlling the heartless used more towards magic, however Specter is someone using telepathic powers that's towards scientific methods. For him to control the darkness and still have his powers would mean someone else is influencing his actions. I can't say who, but know that this isn't him if he still has telepathic powers." Archimedes explained, some have got the general idea that science and magic don't mix.
"I see, so that means there hasn't been methods in combining technology and magic since the world is unable to accept magic is real." Robin answered for everyone too understand.
"Precisely! For Example, The Profess wouldn't be able to use magic if his abilities relied on scientific ways to used his powers. I on the other hand can use magic to it's highest potential, but are unable to use science in ways that benefits me. Using both science and magic is more complicated because you have to understand both at the same time. So far that hasn't happen where even if one place can use magic and science, most likely they will lean towards one or the other instead. That's way science and magic at their core is more about understanding them and how to use them properly." Merlin finished with a smile, he can always enjoy learning or teaching others new things in life.
People like Luffy, "Oh, so it's a mysterious power." The Straw Hats and Committee sigh at his simplistic nature. But that still concerns those who lived on this world, knowing that these heartless can appear out of nowhere is disturbing if not terrifying for them. But the Straw Hats and the Committee will make sure nothing bad happens to this world, after all the Committee are experts in heartless slaying.
"Must be nice to know magic. Though I rather achieve my goals using knowledge I been taught by Dr. Kureha. It wouldn't feel right if I achieve my dream if I didn't work hard." Chopper said showing pride in his ability to help others using his skills.
"What is your dream?" Aki asked curious by those cute little monkey, eh reindeer.
"I want to cure all diseases in the world, I understand that many doctors have achieve this in many ways of science. But there are still sick and injured people around the world without cures. That's why someday, I will learn how to cure everyone no matter what sickness and save lives. I maybe a pirate, but I it's my dream, and I will do what I can for everyone for the crew and anyone who needs help." Chopper proclaimed, some who don't know him too much are very impress by his determination even if he's the youngest on the crew.
"Hey, not that I don't mind us talking about all this, but is there anyone here has a plan?" Usopp asked everyone, more so for the Committee since they have dealt with this problem in the past before.
"Where does Specter usually go, like do you know where his base is located?" Tifa asked.
"More times he usually has different location, but at times it's somewhere in space more close towards the moon." The Professor said through his experience.
"Then our plan is to invade their moon, kick the bad guys butt and be back before you know it." Tifa explained with a smile.
"Isn't that what Cloud would have done?" Merlin Pointed out which made Tifa blush from the comment.
"We should wait for Leon and the others, we haven't seen them for a while now." Aerith reminded everyone who they were missing.
Robin has her hand on her chin and look at Aerith to asked, "Is Zoro with them." Aerith thought about that question and nod, this made some the Straw Hats groan in annoyance.
"Well that figures, looks like we'll have to charge into Specter's base ourselves." Usopp said and terrified at the idea of fighting those monkeys and heartless by himself. Before anyone can say more, explosions are going off around the building making everyone stand up to find the source.
"WHAT WAS THAT!" Chopper yelled in surprise
"It sounded like someone is trying to break in." Natalie shouted, soon the walls gave in and what stood in place is very shocking for The Professor, Natalie and Aki. The others have prepared themselves for another brawl, despite what they may face.
What stood in place are the very people who have saved this world from Specter, but now the reverse has happen and they are now their worst enemies. Everyone had Specter's uniform without the pipo-helmets except for the two.
Pipotchi is floating with what appears as six like diamond metal circling behind his back. His skin is now darken turning blue with purple aura surrounding his body, red eyes in some heated glare and dark silver pipo-helmet, his wings now appear bat like with an red heart on his chest.
Pipo Snake still has his miniature snake uniform, but now is colored black and his helmet is dark silver like Pipotchi. His skin has turn blue with Purple aura surrounding his body and red eyes. The gun has been replace with 3 barrel pistol shooter, carrying real bullets instead of his usual gun.
All of them have this dangerous aura is purple and same color eyes as their aura. Minor details for each individual, Helga hair is now longer looking uncaring about the situation as she sharpens her nails, her weapon of choice is the Electro Magnet redesign and purpose for Specter's own desires.
Yumi has one ponytail instead of two with black instead of brown hair, she seems excited acting like some highschool girl with her redesign weapon Sky Flyer, this one however can act as some helicopter and her Bo staff with other features installed.
Kei the same black hair and more spiky then his normal hair style, at the same time he carries around an Boomerang, unlike the Bananarang this one has sharp ends meant to slice anything in it's path.
Jimmy has now blonde hair shaved with an evil smirk ready for excitement, the weapon beside him is the magic punch, now able to hit target from far or close with the ability to explode on contact.
Spike now has brown hair in some mohawk, with a cocky grin knowing he's going to win, by his side are his twin stun clubs glowing red with electricity.
Together they wear Specter's uniform consist of different colors replacing the Freaky Monkey Five with them instead. Helga has the yellow suit, Yumi wears the pink suit, Kei is the white suit, Jimmy's are the blue suit and finally Spike's the number 1 red suit. In front of them leading this new team is Jake whose uniform is the same from his first time invasion. But what sets him apart is his right eye is red and his left eye purple.
"So these are the people that stop us." Jake look around these new people as monkeys and heartless are starting to enter through the new hole in the wall. As he scan everyone he can clearly see The Professor, Natalie, and Aki are being protected by Nami, Usopp, Robin, Archimedes, Paine, Yuna, and Rikku stood back supporting the others instead of attacking like everyone else, seeing the new threat is more dangerous then heartless. While at the front are Luffy, Sanji, Chopper, Tifa, Aerith and Merlin ready for combat.
"WHOA THAT IS SO COOL! Are you like superheroes!" Nami and Usopp backhanded slap at Luffy, "THERE THE BAD GUYS YOU IDIOT!" They shouted, Jake and the rest look at Luffy like he was some alien, hearing the description that this monkey is responsible for many injuries to their monkey army.
"Who are you suppose to be?" Sanji demanded, ready to kick some butt with these punks.
"DON'T HURT THEM, those are the kids who help saved the world. Specter is using some mind control, making them do bad things." Aki explained, Sanji look towards the kids and two monkeys who are part of this group.
"Oh we are not controlled, in fact Specter freed us from our imprisonment these brats had on us. Now we can rule the world as it covers itself into darkness, then spread to other worlds." Jake declared, this made Merlin raised an eyebrow at Jake's statement, something about what he said didn't feel right.
"Y-Y-You better stay back... I am Captain Usopp, and I have at least 8,000 men hiding ready to attack on sight." Usopp shouted while stuttering.
"Your awfully shaking a lot for someone with 8,000 men." The Professor pointed out which wasn't helping their situation.
"Oh don't worry, we won't need all of you. In fact if you willingly give up those three, we will leave this place alone and you can go on your silly little adventures playing pirates. Then our family will be complete, and this world will reach it's end." Jake mockingly said, this mad the Straw Hats frown and angry at his insult to everything they have been through till now. They were a crew for one reason, to fulfill their dreams and to have exciting adventures as one family. For him to insult their achievements is an insult to their crew. Luffy had his hat down covering his eyes, while showing a frown at the insult.
"But before we begin, our master has to speak with you meddlers." Jake then had some monkeys place a wide screen for everyone to see flying with miniature rockets. On screen appeared Specter in his dressed suit, but everyone could see his entire body is covered in purple aura almost black like the darkness.
"Specter?!" Natalie whisper shock by his new darker and dare say more sinister appearance.
"That's Master Specter Natalie, why the surprise? After all I had to change if I were to rule this world, and this darkness is what I truly needed to achieve my goals. To think such power is available to those surrendering to darkness." Specter spoke with pride in himself, then look at Luffy with an disgusted frown.
"You monkey, why are fighting against us? I know that some monkeys would have resist joining our cause, but beating up your kind? Were drop as a child or something?" Specter asked demanding Luffy to give him an answer.
Instead he is glared at by Luffy who showed an blank expression towards Specter, "They were trying to hurt my friends, so I kick their ass." Luffy said staring at Specter with no regret.
"Well your honest, an extremely honest idiot at that. But that doesn't change what you done, which is why with this small army and my new family will finish you punks off. I will have them in my grasp and we shall rule all worlds in monkey and darkness." Specter then turn the screen off as the wide screen flew off away from the battle that is about to happen.
"You heard our master, ATTACK!" Jake gave the order and soon the entire Laboratory is filled with monkeys and Heartless surrounding them from escaping, but before that the Monkeys and Heartless are flown back by Luffy and Sanji with incredible strength knock out the heartless.
"Your the reason these ladies are being attack by heartless and monkeys. Time I taught you proper manners to you punks." Sanji spoke more for the boys then girls, as he would hesitate around them.
Attacking once more, this time with Jake leading the charge as everyone started to fight either outside or inside since they will be battling each other. The remaining heartless and monkeys went to attack them. Only now Specter's main enforcers will start to attack. Natalie, Aki and The Professor had wisely left the room in order to hide or find other ways to defend themselves.
"My Lab." The professor sadly said to himself, but held on knowing it was for the best if they intend to defend themselves. In the hallways Natalie rush towards the computer activating their security systems. They knew from experience that when using those helmets he becomes smarter and more dangerous in his schemes. Which is why for this occasion they are now prepared for him if Spike and the rest are MIA. Running through the halls some of the security system has stop the monkeys and heartless if only to slow them down for them to run. The trio then found the room they are looking for containing their last defense measure they might need.
Another done, and another to go.
Two things to say, first is the new trilogy will be an prequel before the One Piece began, how far at least by Gol D. Roger's day as Pirate King. The Offical timeline will be set after this story is done. In it you will fine future stories are being set up for later. The sequel for Galaxy Pirates will be set later after One Piece story progress or has another Time Skip later on. Which is why this story will heavily have Straw Hat Pirates after their conflict in Enies Lobby against CP9 agents of World Government. Only reason I didn't have Brook along is the same with any series, how they are portrayed as characters, mostly their quirks. And no not the My Hero Academia kind of quirk.
The second is about the world selection, I'm being more careful since I am doing more then average. The next world with Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon being in one story is inspired by the spin off games called Crash Bandicoot Purple Ripto's Rampage and Spyro the Dragon The Cortex Conspiracy.
This is an unofficial crossover between two games, when looking this up in sites and/or youtube. I took interest in this setting, which is why in this or future story. Some world/series will be crossovers as one world. If anyone has any crossover series you have watch, play or read, give your thoughts on the review and will be used for future story. Which also means for One Piece will have characters like Toriko and Dragon Ball as possible characters in one world.
Although with Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon the two are from different worlds/timeline. So the same will be handle with One Piece, Toriko and Dragon Ball as the same. Here are ideas for the future that will be used now or later.

This mind set has him respecting the swordsmen namely Zoro and Cloud, who is fighting the two on equal strength. Suggesting he can easily kill or devour hearts from those weaker then him. Smoke Screen is partnered with Violet Knight, with their minds similar to each other. Smoke Screen is not above fighting dirty being called a cheater is nothing but flattery to him. His goal remained unknown till death, in which he probably is okay following orders like Crimson Ninja as long fights are available to him.
Mist Pop - a tricky type of Heartless, able to create mist and form bodies in some ways illusionist would be proud. They function more as supporters instead of fighters that allow other heartless to gang up on unexpected victims.
Violet Knight - A Female heartless in purple armor, serving beside Smoke Screen who wants to be acknowledge as another great warriors especially in swordsman. She the opposite with Smoke Screen more interesting in warrior's defeat instead of respecting them. She even would have collected their swords and other weapons if it wasn't for the clever wit from Leon and Auron's experience in battles. Near her end she never realized her goals or intentions except for her beliefs. Like Smoke Screen she seemed content on following Crimson Ninja and working with Smoke Screen as her partner.
Violet Rose - Armored knights who appear almost similar, but are different to Violet Knight. They tend to use sword combat in close quarters and heavily relied on group's fighting other people.
