Mist of Illusions
As Usopp and Chopper went out the kitchen, they saw Zoro who was shrugging his head heading to the bathroom, as Robin went to her usual spot and held her book. "Wonder what happened with those two." The young sniper said as Chopper looked at him in a confused manner.
"What do you mean Usopp?" The young reindeer said as Viola and the others went out. Usopp was about to answer the young doctor but before he could say anything Luffy started yelling.
"YOSHHHHH! Now I'm ready for a new adventure!" He yelled as he went straight to Sunny's head and sat on his usual spot.
"Shishishishi! I can see the Island already!" Luffy yelled in excitement as Viola smiled at what she saw. It was her first time in exploring the Isle of D'tiole. As she was gazing from a distance, Law went out the kitchen and headed straight to the men's quarters, as Ace and Nami went to where Luffy sat.
As Sunny sailed towards the Isle of D'tiole, everyone on board was very excited and happy to see an Island after their long journey. This is the first Island they will dock after Dressrosa and it has already been two long weeks since they left, two long weeks of sailing and roaming around the endless sea, chased by marines and bounty Hunters alike.
"YOSH!" Luffy yelled as he saw the small Island getting bigger as Sunny sails, while Chopper and Usopp extended their heads looking at the Island on the distance. "I can't wait to see what types of medicines they have there." The young reindeer said while the long-nosed sniper grinned at him. "I want to see what type of plants they have there." He replied to Chopper as their face showed a rather excited expression.
It surely is a welcoming sight for all of the crewmembers.
"So Ace, what kind of Island is that anyway?" The orange-haired navigator asked as she looked at her map and notepad. The raven-haired man smiled at her and then gazed at the distance looking at the Island.
"I haven't actually been there myself, but I have heard from some of my old crewmates that the Island is very peaceful. The Isle itself has beautiful sceneries and the city itself is purely majestic." The raven-haired man said, "They said everyone who arrives there are mystified and hypnotized by its grand landscape and its heavenly people." Ace said as a faint yet obvious smile formed on his face.
Nami stared at Ace in confusion as her eyebrows rose. "For someone who hasn't been there, you sure know a lot about the Island." She said as she looked towards the Island. "Are you sure you haven't been there?" The young navigator asked looking back at raven-haired man.
Ace just simply smiled at her as he looked again at the Island. "No, that's why I want to explore the Island that I myself wasn't able to explore before." He said to the orange-haired maiden.
Nami hearing what he said began to think. What is wrong with him? At first, he didn't even want to go to the Island and now he is saying he wants to explore the Isle? She thought to herself as she held her chin.
Ace noticing that sudden change of mood of Nami grinned. "I said before that the Island is peaceful, so father didn't want us to dock there before as it might cause trouble for the people living there." He quickly added as Viola looked at him in a questioning way.
"If it's peaceful, are you sure we can dock there?" Frankie said looking at the both of them as Nami suddenly realized the same thing.
"I see pirate ships docked at the pier." Viola said as she stared at the direction of the Island. "Are you sure Viola?" Frankie asked while Nami looked at her.
"The Island is open to both pirates and marines alike." Ace replied looking at his companions, "That's the good thing about the Island, the people there doesn't care if you're a pirate or a marine." He added as the cyborg and the navigator looked at him.
"I see, but if Pirates and Marines are allowed to roam around the Island won't it cause trouble for the citizens since the Marines and Pirates might fight with each other once they encounter each other there?" She said holding her chin. "You have a point there." Frankie said, as Ace looked the both of them.
"That may be true, but I haven't heard any incidents like that before when I sta…" Ace said before he suddenly stopped talking. The navigator and the cyborg looked at the raven-haired man with a confused expression as to why he stopped so suddenly.
Viola looked at the three as she chuckled. "Aren't you all happy we will dock on an Island where we don't need to hide?" She asked, "I haven't experienced hiding myself, since I was a member of Doflamingo's crew before. However, I guess you experienced that on the Islands you docked before. So docking on an Island open to both pirates and marines should be something good." She added as she looked at the two.
Ace looked at the raven-haired maiden as if he wanted to say something as he glanced at the young navigator who was in deep thought.
Nami smiled at the comment of the raven-haired beauty. "I guess you are right Viola. Finally, an island where we will not hide from anyone, I don't need to worry about marines or the actions of Luffy or Zoro. I can finally relax and have some fun." The navigator said smiling which Usopp and Chopper overheard "What do you mean we won't hide?" Usopp asked as they walked towards the orange-haired maiden.
As Nami was about to answer the two, a rather thick mist suddenly appeared in front of Sunny. "That's Odd." Nami said seeing the fog in front of the ship as Sunny sailed right through it.
"What's this, a fog?" Frankie asked as he removed his Sunglasses. Viola was rather surprised seeing the fog in front of them. "I didn't see any fog from the distance." The raven-haired maiden said as she looked around.
Nami glanced at the raven-haired beauty, as she started to get worried on what is happening, "What going on, you didn't see the fog earlier Viola? The weather was clear earlier." She said looking as Viola glanced around.
"Don't worry fogs like this randomly appear on these parts of the New World." Ace said as he looked at Nami and Frankie who looked worried.
"Whew, I thought something bad was about to happen." The orange-haired maiden said as she touched her head as a sign of relief.
Viola on the other hand still remained worried on the sudden appearance of the mist. This fog is not normal… I cannot see through it. She thought to herself as she tried her best to pierce through the fog with her ability. I really can't see anything. Should I tell them? The raven-haired woman thought as she looked around.
Viola saw Nami and Frankie who looked rather relieved on what Ace said, I guess I should keep this information for now. The raven-haired beauty thought to herself as she looked for a way out the mist.
Ace just smiled and shrugged his head as he noticed Viola looking at the distance, "You okay?" he asked while Viola didn't reply to the young man as she continued to gaze through the fog.
The raven-haired man shrugged and decided to go to the men's quarters, when he heard Chopper suddenly screaming. "Help! Sanji isn't moving, someone Call a doctor!" The young reindeer yelled hysterically as he ran in circles.
"Chopper, you're a doctor!" Usopp said looking confused on what is happening, "Oh yeah, I am A doctor" He said as he finally calmed down and ran towards his room to fetch his equipments.
Ace looked around and noticed that Sanji was still in the same place as before. The raven-haired man walked towards him as he saw that he was kneeling down, his face was looking at the sky while his eye seemed blank.
As he walked closer, he noticed that his mouth is slightly open forming a small smile.
Usopp decided to walk towards the cook and heard something coming from Sanji. "Oi, I think he is saying something." Usopp yelled and looking for the young doctor.
Chopper went out carrying his bag and his stethoscope on his neck, and as soon as he reached Sanji to check if there is something wrong, but as he reached him the young cook suddenly stood up and yelled, which surprised both Usopp and Chopper.
"Oi, why did you scream all of a sudden?" Usopp yelled at Sanji angrily, but was dumbfounded at his reaction.
"Ladies please, there's no need to fight over me!" The blonde-haired man said as heart shaped eyes formed and started to goof around.
Both Chopper and Usopp were confused at what Sanji said and doing as they looked at him wondering.
"Oi chopper, do you see any ladies fighting?" Usopp asked as they looked around. "All I see is Robin, Ms. Viola and Nami, but they are not fighting," The young doctor said as he started to get worried about Sanji.
Usopp with Chopper walked towards Sanji and looked at the cook, "Oi Sanji, are you okay?" Usopp asked, but the blonde-haired man didn't answer his question.
As Usopp and Chopper walk closer to him, Sanji suddenly grabbed the long nosed sniper and tried to kiss him. "Here Ms. I will give you a wet one, there's no need to be jealous." The love-stricken cook said with heart shaped eyes.
"Oi, Sanji! What are you doing?" Usopp yelled in protest as he was trying to push him away. However, the love-stricken cook persisted and grabbed Usopp's head.
"Don't be shy!" He replied moving his head closer and closer to Usopp's. "Help!" The young sniper said as everyone on deck looked at them dumbfounded at what they are seeing.
"Sanji is trying to kiss Usopp?" Frankie said scratching his head, as Nami's face expressed the confusion she was feeling.
"Oi, what is going on here?" Zoro asked while he was wiping his head with a towel as he walked out from bathroom.
Robin looked at the young swordsman and paused for a little bit and looked at the Love-stricken cook. "It seems like Sanji mistook Usopp for a girl." Robin said as she looked at Zoro who was looking at her.
The swordsman decided to look around and saw chopper looking confused while Frankie and Brook laughing pointing at Sanji. "Tsss.. What a pain." Zoro said as he walked towards Usopp who was trying to push away Sanji who was now on top of him.
"Help Zoro!" Usopp pled as he saw Sanji's lips trying to reach him. "Hahahahahahahaha!" Zoro laughed, as he could not avoid laughing at what he saw.
"Looks like the stupid Love-cook just lost his mind." The swordsman said laughing as Usopp looked at him furiously. "Why are you laughing? Could you get him off me?" The young sniper yelled angrily at Zoro who was still laughing.
"Wh.. Why would I do that?" Zoro asked wiping a tear off his eye as he started to laugh again. Nami quickly walked towards him and punched his head. "Because I say so!" The young navigator said looking angry.
"Ouch! That hurts!" The swordsman said as he looked at the orange-haired beauty glaring at him. Zoro just sighed at the command of Nami, and decided to walk towards the love-stricken cook, and grabbed his collar pulling him up and dragged him away from Usopp who was shaken up by the incident.
However, Sanji did not make his task easy as he moved around trying to go to the young sniper. "Oi, Stop it you stupid cook!" Zoro said, irritated at him, but as soon as the swordsman said something, Sanji suddenly went up to him and tried to kiss him as well.
"Don't worry cutie, I didn't forget you!" The love-stricken cook said as heart shaped eyes formed.
"Oi, What the Fuck are you doing you stupid Cook!" Zoro yelled angrily trying to push the cook away from him. "What is going on here?" Nami asked a little worried and started look around.
Viola and Ace stood there and saw the young captain jumping towards the deck, as he yelled which shocked the others.
"MEAT! Yosh! There are so many MEAT on SUNNY!" Luffy yelled suddenly, "What meat? There's no meat here you Idiot!" Nami yelled angrily at the young captain. However, Luffy did not answer as he just looked around and stopped when he saw her.
"Yosh! I will eat this two first!" Luffy said with a drool on his mouth as he suddenly grabbed Nami and Chopper, which surprised the both of them.
"Oi Luffy! What are you doing! LET ME DOWN YOU IDIOT!" the young navigator yelled, while chopper started to cry, "I'm not your food Luffy!" the young reindeer said hysterically.
Robin and Viola immediately went towards Nami and Chopper to help them as Luffy tried to put the crying reindeer on his mouth. "What is going on?" Robin asked as she ran towards Chopper and crossed her hands. "Veinte Fleur: Grab!" The raven-haired maiden said as her hana-hana hands sprouted on Luffy's back restraining him.
Ace and Frankie went towards Sanji and help out Zoro. The three men tried their best to restrain the love-stricken cook who was trying to kiss the both of them.
"What is happening? Why are they acting weird all of a sudden?" Frankie asked as he held Sanji.
As Viola and Robin reached Chopper, Brook started to laugh and walked towards the two raven-haired beauties that caught the attention of Zoro and Ace.
"Could you let me see and smell your Panties?" Brook perversely asked Robin.
"Oi Brook! What are you saying?" The swordsman yelled, but as soon as the tall skeleton heard him talk, Brook turned around and faced Zoro.
"Swordsman?! Don't interfere or prepare to die!" The musician said as Zoro looked at him confused, "What did you say?" the green-haired man asked rather confused with what Brook said to him and without any warning, the skeleton suddenly attacked Zoro that surprised the swordsman.
"Gavotte Bond en Avant" The skeleton said as he propelled himself forward striking the green-haired swordsman.
"Oi, what the fuck are you doing?" Zoro yelled angrily as he unsheathed one of his Katanas and blocked the attack of Brook.
Frankie looked at Brook and rushed to help Zoro as Ace was tying Sanji who is still trying to kiss him.
"Come on Miss there's no need to be shy, Come on give me a kiss…" Sanji said to the raven-haired man with heart shaped eyes while Ace looked dumbfounded at the idea of him kissing a man.
"Oi! Get off me! I am trying to eat!" the young captain yelled in protest as he was being restrained by Viola and Robin.
Nami was still shaken up at what happened and looked around, "What's going on?" the navigator asked worryingly, as she saw Zoro and Frankie fighting trying to stop Brook.
"Ace, are you sure this fog is normal?" Nami asked as she looked around, Ace stopped and looked at the fog that was surrounding them. "Yeah, why?" He quickly replied, as Nami looked worried.
"Because since we entered this fog, Sanji started to act really weird and then Luffy and now Brook," the orange-haired maiden replied looking around.
Ace paused and realized that Nami had a point. "Yeah, maybe you're right we must get out of this fog before all of us will act all weird, Viola can you see a way out of this fog?" The raven-haired man said looking at her.
Viola on the other hand shook her head, "I can't see anything through this fog!" She said that surprised the rest of the crew. "How can that be your ability isn't working?" Nami asked as she looked for the cyborg.
"Frankie, find a way for us to get out of this fog," Nami ordered as he just nodded in agreement and ran towards to stir the ship. "It's useless; I can't see anything through this fog!" Viola said worried at what is happening.
Ace sighed as they managed to finish tying Sanji, Luffy and finally Brook. "Shit this is bad!" Frankie said looking around, "This isn't good I can't see any way out." Viola said looking at the distance.
"Zoro, go up the crow's nest and try to look for a way out of this fog." Nami yelled looking at the swordsman who was standing on the middle of the deck. "Zoro?" Nami said walking towards him, while Usopp ran towards Nami.
"What's the matter?" Nami asked as she felt the sniper grabbing her, Usopp on the other hand just pointed at chopper who was sitting down with sparkles in his eyes.
"Cotton Candy… So many Cotton Candies" Chopper said happily but their attention went to Robin as they heard someone scream.
There they saw the green-haired swordsman holding her arms. "I won't let anyone touch her, she is mine!" Zoro yelled as he looked around.
"Oi zoro! What are you doing?!" The navigator yelled, her worried emotion showed to her expression. "It looks like he too is now affected with this fog." Viola said and then ran towards Robin to help her out.
"Shit this isn't good!" Frankie said looking around. "Frankie, do you see the way out?" Nami asked worryingly at the cyborg.
"No Nami, I don't see any way out yet." Frankie replied, while Law went out from the men's quarters and saw what is happening. "Oi, Hat-boy! Help us out!" Ace said as Zoro let go of the raven-haired woman and started to attack him.
"You won't steal Robin from me! Baki" Zoro yelled as Law blocked his attack with his sword. "Law, you're on my way too? Are you planning to take away Robin?" the swordsman yelled as Ace and Law fought Zoro.
"Zoro, stop it!" Robin yelled as Viola and Frankie looked for a way out. "This is hopeless.. All I can see is this white smoke." The raven-haired beauty said worryingly.
Nami then suddenly realized something very dangerous. This isn't good, if Ace, Law and Viola will be affected, we won't be able to tie them up with just the four of us. The young navigator thought to herself as she looked around and heard Usopp who was murmuring something that made Nami nervous.
"Usopp, what are you saying?" Nami asked as she nervously turned towards him. The long-nosed sniper walked slowly towards the orange-haired maiden. "Nami, Usopp is now affected with the fog." Robin said as she looked at Nami.
"What is with this fog?" Robin said she crossed her arms, Dos Fleur, Grab! The raven-haired maiden said as two hana-hana hands sprouted on the back of Usopp and Zoro grabbing them and stopping them from walking any further.
Ace and Law finally tied Zoro as Nami looked around.
"Shit, this isn't good." Nami said to herself while she ran towards Viola and the others. "Viola, Frankie, do you see a way out of this Fog?" Nami yelled looking at the both of them, but they did not answer.
"Frankie? Viola?" Robin asked as Ace and Law looked at them. "Oh no…" Nami said as Frankie smiled and suddenly yelled. "I see the exit!" The cyborg yelled as he stirred the ship on the right.
"Oi! Don't scare me like that!" Nami yelled angrily, but stopped when Frankie continued to laugh. "Something is wrong-yah," Law said to the orange-haired maiden as Ace just looked at Viola who was starting at the distance.
"DOFLAMINGO!" Viola yelled suddenly "Hierro Lágrima: Mekujira!" The raven-haired beauty said as she was cutting the whales two hana-hana hands sprouted on her back stopping her as she struggled to break free.
"Shit, what is happening here?" Ace said scratching his head as Nami heard something behind her.
They both turned around and saw Robin looking down, "Zoro…" She said faintly while Law was standing still looking up. "Oh no…" Nami said shaking, "Not you two…" The orange-haired maiden said as she covered her mouth.
Robin and Law walked slowly towards Nami, "Room!" Law said as his room suddenly appeared on Sunny.
Nami screamed while Ace suddenly ran in front of her, "Shit!" the raven-haired quickly said as he prepared to fight them.
Flames started to come out from his body but as soon, he was ready to attack, but as soon as he went for the two the fog suddenly disappeared, which surprised Nami and Ace. "I.. It's gone.." the oranged-haired maiden said briefly.
They then looked at Robin and Law who was now standing in front of them confused on what is happening.
"Whew…" Nami said faintly and sat down immediately on the lawn, while Ace on the other hand extinguished his flames. "I'm relieved I did not have to do anything to stop you two." The raven-haired man said and released a breath of relief.
Ace smiled and looked at Nami when they heard a loud noise coming from the side of the deck, the two turned around and saw Luffy, Sanji, and Zoro yelling.
"Oi, what is going on? Why am I tied like this with this Bastard algae-head!" Sanji yelled as he looked at Zoro.
"Get this Stupid love-cook off of my side!" Zoro protested angrily as Sanji glared at him.
"What did you say you shitty moss-head!" The young cook replied angrily. "You heard me you Idiotic Ero-cook!" Zoro replied as they prepared to fright even they are tied up.
"I am Hungry, where's my Food!" Luffy yelled looking at everyone.
"I guess they are all back to normal." Nami faintly said as she stood up and walked towards them. "SHUT UP!" She yelled and punched them all on their heads.
After the Navigator explained, what happened Sanji could not believe what he nearly did with the young sniper as his face turned to white.
"Shit, I almost kissed Usopp?" He asked then shook at the thought of him kissing a Usopp who is a GUY, while Luffy on the other hand did not mind at all.
"A Ship Full of meat? Not a bad idea." He said with a huge grin on his face. Nami hearing what he said punched him again on his head.
"You Idiot! You nearly ate me and Chopper!" Nami angrily yelled at him, Luffy stopped as he thought of something.
"I don't think you guys are tasty." He said with his tongue out and looking disgusted.
While everyone was busy talking about the things that happened, the Strawhats never realized that they were near the Isle of D'tiole.
"Oi, looks like we are here…" Frankie said as he scratched his head while Viola just nodded at his comment.
Everyone looked at him confused, "Are you sure?" Nami asked as she looked at the side of Sunny and was shocked at what she saw.
"That's weird we should have arrived at the Island later this afternoon." She said faintly, while Luffy and Chopper was looking at the island in awe.
Ace noticing the worried expression of the navigator patted her back and smiled, "I think you shouldn't worry about anything at this moment" The raven-haired man said then looked at the Island.
Nami just smiled and nodded in agreement to the comment of Ace as they heard Luffy and Chopper yelling. "Wow, the Island is so big!" They both said, as they saw the Isle.
"WOW!" Luffy, Chopper and Usopp said pointing at a large figure, as everyone looked at where they are pointing and was mystified at what everyone saw, A 100 foot gold statue holding a sword looking at the distance.
"The Colossus Arleo." Ace said as everyone looked at the majestic figure, "It is said that it's the guardian of the Isle of Beauty." The raven-haired man added as Nami started to get ecstatic.
"A gold Statue!" The young navigator said as her eyes changed into beli signs. "We need to get that statue!" Nami said that surprised everyone.
"Oi Nami! How could you steal something that big?" Usopp said as the young navigator glared at him. "Whatever it takes, we must get that! Even a finger will be enough!" She replied, as the others looked at her dumbfounded.
As Sunny passed by the statue, they saw the Island covered with light mist giving a dreamy appearance to the Isle. Large mountains are visible from the distance as a single mountain dominated the landscape.
Nami was too busy thinking about how they could get at least a part of the golden statue that she didn't looked at the Island.
"Okay guys, we will dock in a while..." frankie said as he stirred Sunny.
Zoro just glanced at Robin who was walking towards their quarters and sighed. Shit.. Why did I do that, did they notice? The swordsman thought to himself said as he entered the quarters.
Frankie looked around and saw pirate ships leaving the Isle. "Hah! Just like what Viola said." The cyborg said as he prepared to dock while Luffy and the others went to their quarters and get their stuff ready for a new adventure.
