Again thank you for the feedback on the previous chapter.
The Capitol of Beauty Anastasis
As Sunny approached the Island, everyone saw an arch made of marble with gold accents. The entire crew was at awe with the intricate designs of the arch that made everyone wonder. "How could an Island afford to spend so much gold in such things?" Frankie asked as Usopp and Chopper nodded at his comment and looked at the arch.
The entrance to the port of Gods, I can't believe I am here. Ace thought to himself as he looked around and saw a figure on the arch. I wonder if she is still here. The raven-haired man asked himself as Sunny entered the arch.
Everyone looked up as they pass through the arch and everyone's eyes widened as they saw clear skies full of clouds, birds flying on the distance, Dolphins swimming next to Sunny, as clear blue waters seemed to sparkle, white sand beaches on each side, and lush forest covered the mountains surrounding the harbor. A couple of Greek styled temples on top of the plateaus oversee the port of the Island.
The harbor itself has long Greek styled temples where traders are selling goods to travelers and visitors. "Wow!" Everyone said as their eyes widened and saw how the lively the port was.
Nami on the other hand looked around and saw 30-foot marble statues holding flames guiding the ships to the main port. "This place is unbelievable!" Viola said as Luffy and the others nodded in agreement.
As Sunny prepared to dock at D'tiole's port, Nami and Ace was already on the deck of Sunny talking. "Wow, there are a lot of ships docked here." The orange-haired maiden said as she saw countless pirate ships and Marine Galleons on the Harbor as Ace started to look around and heard a rather excited yell.
"YOSH!" The young captain yelled as he looked at the ships docked, Luffy cannot hide the feeling of being excited and jumps down the deck to go to Chopper and Usopp who was looking at the port
"Can you see that Usopp? There are many pirate ships!" The young captain said shaking the young sniper. "Co..Come on… Luffy.." Usopp protested, as Chopper too seemed excited docking on the Island.
"What's with this Island, why are there many ships docked here?" Frankie asked as he looked around and noticed a giant galleon ship passing Sunny. "Wow! That is a huge ship!" He commented as he removed his sunglasses to get a better look at the ship.
Luffy, Usopp and Choppers eyes widen as they saw the dark brown Galleon ship with three giant poles sporting black canvases and a gold accents. "Look Frankie! That ship is enormous!" the young captain yelled as he pointed on the passing ship.
"Tssss.." Ace faintly said as he looked at the ship and saw a white skull with gold horns and a flaming crown. His fist clenched as he watched the ship pass by.
"What is with that reaction?" Nami asked looking at the raven-haired pirate. "Huh? Nothing, I just thought I saw their Jolly Roger before, though I was wrong." Ace said as he smiled at the young Navigator who is looking at him.
Nami just looked at him as her eyebrow rose. I feel that he is hiding something. The orange-haired maiden thought to herself, "Nami! There's a Marine ship heading this way!" Frankie yelled as he pointed at a marine galleon.
Everyone looked at where Frankie was pointing, "Shit! This isn't good." Nami said as she saw the Marines looking at Sunny as if they are going to attack.
"Everyone Prepare!" The young navigator yelled as Luffy and the others was prepared to fight, but to everyone's surprise the Marine galleon passed them by.
"Huh?" Nami said as she watched the Marine Galleon sail, everyone saw the scene was dumbfounded and rather shocked at what happened. Ace on the other hand laughed. "I told you, Marines and Pirates are free to dock here, but once they do they are required to have a cease fire." The raven-haired man said as Nami released a sigh of relief.
"That was surprising." She said as she can't help but feel worried, "What is with this Island that even the Marines are following its rules?" She questioned herself.
"Yohohohohohohoho. This is great!" Brook said as Ace looked at him and smiled. "We won't have anything to worry about exploring the city later." The raven-haired man said that made Luffy, Chopper and Usopp became even more excited.
"Yosh! I want to explore the Island!" Luffy yelled as Zoro went out from the men's quarters and saw everyone looking at the Island. The green-haired man turned around, his eyes widened as he saw large Greek styled pillars and countless ships docked.
He decided to walk towards them and saw Robin who was wearing a white and purple tube dress, as a rather familiar orange-haired maiden walked to him.
"Zoro!" Nami yelled on Zoro's ear that surprised the young swordsman. "Shit! Why are you always screaming on my ears you damn witch!" He replied angrily as Sanji went out from the kitchen and heard Zoro.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY TO NAMI-CHWAN YOU IDIOTIC MOSS HEAD! DON'T TALK TO A LADY LIKE THAT!" Sanji yelled in anger, as the swordsman looked at the blonde cook with a confused face.
"Where is this lady that you are talking about? All I see is an Orange haired Barbarian." Zoro replied as the blonde-haired man suddenly went to him in frustration. "You Mother F…." However, before Sanji could finish saying his statement Nami punched Zoro's head as she looked at him.
"So How's that for a Barbarian!" She said angrily while Sanji came up to Nami, "Oh Nami-Chwan, You are even prettier when you are mad." The young cook said with heart shape eyes as Robin just smiled at what she saw.
The young reindeer went to the raven-haired beauty as he looked at her, "Robin, do you know anything about this Island?" Chopper innocently asked the archeologist as Robin just smiled at him.
"Chopper, I haven't read any books yet that has information about this Island, but as Ace said that it's an Island of beauty." Robin said to the young doctor.
Chopper looked at Ace and looked back at the raven-haired beauty. Robin smiled as she kneeled down in front of the young doctor and held his head. "If you want you can go to Ace and ask him, because he knows more about this Island than I do." The raven-haired maiden said as she stood up looking at Chopper.
The young reindeer blushed and looked at her with and smile, "Okay Robin." He said briefly and ran towards Ace.
Zoro just looked at what Robin did as a small smile formed on his face as Usopp patted his back. "Oi, you okay Zoro?" The young sniper asked as the green-haired swordsman looked at him in a confused way.
"Huh?" Zoro asked Usopp, however before the young sniper could say anything Sunny reached the port as Luffy started yelling at everyone.
"ADVENTURE!" The young captain yelled as Law looked at the Luffy. "Shut up stupid!" Nami yelled as Viola looked at the Island, her face showing a rather worried expression. "How is this possible? I can't see anything beyond the things that I can normally see." The raven-haired maiden said faintly to herself.
Ace looked around as a smile formed on his face. "We are docked here on the Port of Gods, and it will take us 2 to 3 hours until we reach the city of Anastasis." The raven-haired man said as Nami's eyebrow rose again.
"How did he know that it would take that long to reach the city." She asked herself and was supposed to ask Ace, she heard the cyborg. "3 hours? That's a long trip." Frankie said and looked back at the Island.
Ace just laughed as Nami looked at him. "Anastasis?" The orange-haired maiden asked as she heard Luffy yelling. "Come on! Are we going to the Island yet? I feel like there's an adventure on this Island," Luffy yelled impatiently looking at the Island.
The young navigator just sighed as she looked at everyone. "I will hold our money until we get to the city to avoid some wasteful spending along the way." Nami said as she looked at Luffy who was looking at the Island excited.
"Okay, is everyone set to leave?" The young navigator asked as she looked at the others, everyone just nodded and walked towards the Island. "Yosh!" Luffy yelled as he jumped down Sunny and ran towards the port.
"Robin-swan, do you want me to accompany you while walking?" Sanji asked as heart shaped eyes started forming.
Robin smiled at Sanji as she heard a familiar voice talking. "Oi, why are you standing here for?" Zoro asked as Sanji looked at him irritated.
"Oi Marimo, you can walk ahead if you want!" Sanji said angrily as he light up his cigarette, "I wasn't talking to you Idiotic ero-cook!" Zoro replied as he walked pass him.
Robin just smiled and looked at fuming blonde-haired man, "Shall we go then Sanji?" The raven-haired beauty said as she started to walk towards the port.
Sanji then realized that Robin was already walking ahead of him as he quickly moved forward and followed her. "Robin-swan, wait for me." Sanji said as he started to run trying to catch up with her.
As he caught up with her, Sanji looked at Robin and noticed that she was smiling which made him smile.
"Robin-swan, you look very beautiful when you smile." Sanji said with heart shape eyes, she just smiled at him "Thank you Sanji." The raven-haired beauty said as Zoro looked at them.
"Oi, what is taking you guys so long?" Usopp yelled looking at them, while Chopper was looking at the trees with silver and lavender colored leaves.
"I never saw trees like this before." Chopper said with a rather curious look on his face, "These are known as Gaia trees, they are only found here at this Island." Ace said walking beside the young doctor.
"Gaia Trees?" Nami asked as she walked besides the two men. Ace looked at her and nodded as he started to look around the trail.
"It's said that these are the trees of the Gods and have some medicinal properties," Ace said looking at the both of them. Choppers eyes widened hearing what the raven-haired man said as started to pick some leaves off the trees.
"I thought you haven't been here on this Island? How did you know that these trees are named Gaia trees?" Nami said looking at Ace's face in suspicion. He just looked around and smiled, "Like I said, my old crew told us some stories before about this Island." Ace said looking at the front as he saw Luffy running ahead of them.
Nami just looked at the raven-haired man as she crossed her arms, I feel like he is really hiding something. The orange-haired woman said as she just starred at Ace.
A sweat drop formed on his head as the raven-haired man felt that someone was staring at him. "Okay…" Nami said and continued to walk behind him.
Ace just sighed in relief while Chopper was looked at him. "Are you okay Ace?" the young doctor asked looking at him worried, as he just nodded at the reindeer and smiled.
"Let's go chopper, we still have a long walk ahead." Ace said as he walked pass him, the young doctor nodded and followed him while he was putting the leaves he took to his bag pack.
Viola looked around as a worried expression was rather evident on her face. "You okay?" Nami asked as Viola looked at her, rather surprised at her question. "Ye..Yes I'm fine." She replied as she looked at the young orange-haired maiden beside her.
"I noticed that something was bothering you since earlier." The young woman said as Viola just looked at her and smile. "Nothing's wrong, I just feel a little uneasy with this Island" The raven-haired beauty said as Nami nodded at her comment.
"I feel the same way. Though let's not be affected by this." She said as she walked beside Viola.
"I'm Hungry… Where is that City anyway?!" Luffy yelled as he looked back at his Nakama. "Oi, Ace where's the city? The young pirate yelled again as his stomach started to grumble as he sat down on the ground and waited for them.
Ace just smiled at him, "Don't worry Luffy, there is a tavern somewhere along this road. There we can rest and eat for awhile." He said looking at his younger brother.
After Hearing what his older brother said, Luffy suddenly stood up excited. "YOSH! FOOD!" the young captain yelled as he ran forward leaving them behind. "Hmmm… A tavern?" Nami asked the raven-haired man as Viola gazed on the distance.
I Can't see any tavern from the distance. She thought to herself as she closed her eyes briefly. Ace looked back at the orange-haired maiden and smiled. "I told…" The raven-haired man said, but before he could finish Nami smiled at him.
"Yeah, I know. Your former crew told you before." Nami said as she looked at Viola who was now looking again at the distance. Ace just grinned at the orange-haired maiden as he started to walk.
As they walked, everyone heard a rather loud Noise that made them all stop.
"What was that?" Ace said looking around, "Did you hear that?" Zoro said as he ran towards the others, while Robin nodded and looked around. Frankie and Brook just looked at Ace while Law and Viola prepared to fight.
"Don't be scared Chopper, Usopp is here to protect you" Usopp said nervously to Chopper, while the young reindeer was hiding behind him. Nami was looking around worried, "What was that Noise?" she said to herself.
Then they all heard a loud sound coming from in front of them, "What is that?" Nami asked looking around, "Maybe it's an Assassin or a bounty Hunter," Zoro said holding his Swords, while Sanji stopped smoking and looked in front.
"Okay, we should get ready" Ace said seriously as everyone nodded and prepared for combat and as soon as the thing causing the sound ran to the corner, all of them was going to attack when they noticed that the thing was Luffy Running.
"Ace I found the tavern that you said!" Luffy said happily as a huge grin showed on his face, while Nami looked at him in Anger.
"YOU IDIOT! DO NOT SCARE US LIKE THAT!" She yelled in anger and punched Luffy on his head, "What did I do?" the young-captain asked holding his head. Ace looked at Luffy and smiled. "So where is the Tavern?" He asked as he looked at the road, Luffy immediately stood up and pointed the way.
After a while of walking everyone saw a Greek styled two story building and a tall white pillar with an angel on top at its side, "Wow, What's that?" the young-reindeer asked looking up, then a voice answered him.
"That is the pillar of the Angel Marie," an old smiling woman said, as everyone looked at her in confusion. Then Luffy ran in front of them.
"I brought my Friends with me Old Lady." Luffy said with a huge grin as the old woman just smiled at the young captain, "Okay Sonny, you can come in!" She said as she went towards the building.
"You know her Luffy?" Nami asked looking at the Old Woman, as the young captain just nodded at her, "She is the owner of that shop! I told her that I will look for you because she will not let me eat without money." Luffy said with a grin on his face.
Nami just looked at Luffy, "Oh boy…" She said as they entered the tavern.
Inside, the tavern was full of travelers and residents alike the old woman greeted and led them to their table, while the waiter gave them the menu.
While Luffy was busy picking what food he will eat, Zoro looked around and saw some pirates on the other table that looked rather familiar.
What are they doing here? He thought to himself but decided not think about it as he shrugged his head and looked at his Nakama.
After the waiter took the order of the crew, "I am Hungry." Luffy said as he started to look around waiting for the food as everyone heard a couple of Island residents talking behind that caught their attention.
"Did you hear, another pirate ship just sank near the harbor?" The man said as the others nodded at him, "That's why no one can attack our Island. That Mist of dreams is scary!" The person said briefly.
Nami was listening carefully at what the pirates said as she looked at them, "Mist of dreams?" The young navigator asked while the residents looked at her and nodded. Nami and the others were shocked at the appearance of the men.
Handsome… She thought to herself, as the person looked at her dumbfounded.
"You're not from here so you don't know." The old woman said walking towards the crew. "Our Island is protected by Gods, and the mist surrounding our Island is known here as the Mist of dreams." The white-haired woman said looking at everyone.
"One of our Gods has the power to create a mist that protects the Isle from attacks." The woman added that shocked everyone who heard her. Sounds like a devil fruit ability. Robin thought to herself as Luffy's eye widened in excitement.
"Hey old-lady, where are this Gods of yours?" The young captain asked as the white haired woman smiled at him. "They are living on top of the highest mountain here in D'tiole. No one can even go up there and thank them unless they travel down." The woman added that disappointed Luffy.
"Ohhhh… I want to meet those Gods." Luffy said as the woman smiled at him. "Then you came here on the right time Sonny, since the main city of Anastasis is celebrating a glorious event since it's the return of some of our Gods." The white-haired woman said as she looked outside the tavern.
Luffy's eyes widened hearing what the old woman said, while Ace on the other hand looked down as his hands clenched forming a fist. Shit! He thought as Viola looked at the raven-haired man and was about to talk to him however arrived at their table bringing their food.
As the Waiter gave all the order, Luffy took a piece of meat and started eating, while Zoro took the bottle of liquor and he started drinking, while Robin just looked at the green-haired swordsman and took a sip on her coffee.
"This is Good Food!" Luffy said while taking a piece of chicken on Usopp's plate. Sanji just grinned, "My food is better than this." He replied while the young captain smiled and nodded in agreement, and took another piece of chicken on the snipers plate.
"Oi Luffy! Give me back my chicken!" Usopp yelled angrily at Luffy who was not listening to him.
While eating, Luffy saw a man who went up a small stage and started to sing a song, "What is this noise!" Nami said as she covered her ears rather irritated at what she is hearing.
The young captain looked at the singer with sparkles in his eyes and started to smile, "I think we need a singer" He suddenly said and looked around the tavern.
Everyone stared at him in confusion while Ace smiled at his younger brother. "What do you mean we need a singer?" Usopp asked the young captain, "That's right Luffy, I am a singer…" Frankie said grinning at him.
Luffy just smiled at him. "Oh yeah, I forgot about you Frankie." The captain said as he continued to eat the chicken of Usopp that angered the sniper.
After eating, Luffy stood up holding his stomach, "Man I am full!" the young captain said as a grin started to form on his face. Zoro on the other hand just looked at him and grinned at his comment.
"No you're not," the green-haired swordsman said as he fixed his swords, while Luffy looked at him and laughed, "Shishishishi.. Yosh! Let's go to the city!" Luffy yelled while Nami Went at the bar and pay for the food they ate.
After she left the Tavern, A pirate looked around and went to his Captain. "So the rumors are true, Fire Fist Ace really joined the Straw Hats, as Law is now their ally and is travelling with them." The man said as he started Laugh.
Luffy and his crew walked the road, Ace was still smiling as he remembered what his brother said, while Nami looked at him rather confused.
"Oi Ace, why are you smiling all by yourself?" Nami asked as she walked besides the raven-haired man.
He just looked at her and smiled, "I always smile Nami," Ace said at the orange-haired woman. She just looked at him as a sigh went out her mouth and smiled back, "Yeah I guess you are right." She said looking around, "So where's this city?" Nami asked as she started to look around.
"If we see a Giant Pillar just like what we saw on the tavern, that means we are close to the city." He replied while Nami nodded at him, "I see." She said as they heard the young reindeer all excited.
"Ace do you mean like that?" Chopper said pointing at a Marble Pillar with golden Wings on top…
Ace looked at the pillar and nodded, "Yes, That's the pillar." Nami looked at the pillar and then her eyes instantly turned into belli signs, "GOLD! THAT IS GOLD! Oi Luffy, try to get that gold from there!" the orange-haired maiden yelled looking at the young captain, while he just looked at her confused.
"What will I get?" Luffy asked as he showed a rather puzzled expression, while Ace smiled at Nami who was still looking at the Gold on top of the pillar, "We can't take that Nami, and if we do we won't be able to come back to Sunny." He said as he walked pass the disappointed young woman.
Nami looked rather depressed at what Ace said to her, "Don't worry Nami, if we leave, we will take that gold with us." Usopp said trying to cheer the orange-haired maiden.
She looked at the young sniper and grinned, "Okay, that's the plan. If we leave this Island the Statue comes with us, and Usopp will be the one to take it!" Nami said looking at Usopp, "Wai.. Wait Nami! The long-nosed sniper tried to protest but the young navigator gave off an evil laugh that scared both him and Chopper.
Zoro just looked at her confused as Robin walked pass him smiling. The green-haired man glanced at the raven-haired beauty as he heard the blonde-cook speak.
"Robin-swan!" Sanji yelled as he went to her and started to walk with the raven-haired beauty, Zoro just looked at Sanji irritated however decided not to say anything.
"Yes Sanji?" Robin asked the blonde-haired cook as Sanji smiled back at her, "What do you think about this Island Robin-swan?" He asked looking at her while glancing at Zoro who was now walking behind them.
Robin smiled at Sanji and looked around, "This Island is pretty interesting because it is really different from the other Islands we've been to." She replied briefly looking at the young cook.
Sanji smiled warmly at her with heart-shaped eyes, "Oh Robin-swan…" However before he could finish what he was about to say they heard a loud noise again.
Everyone looked around and saw Luffy jumping up and down. "Oi! What are you doing?" Nami asked luffy confused, Luffy smiled at her. "I can see a clearing over there!" the young captain said with an excited expression on his face.
Everyone stopped and looked as everyone really saw a clearing on the distance, "Oi, its true! There is a clearing over there." Usopp while Chopper was as everyone started to walk towards the clearing while Luffy started to run towards it.
When he reached the clearing, a bright flash of light blinded him shortly, "Bright!" He yelled as he started to rub his and looked around, his eyes widened and his jaw suddenly dropped.
"Oi, What are you looking at?" Frankie asked as he held his hands over his eyes to lessen the blinding light as others soon followed. After a while, all of their eyes widened at what they saw…
In front of them was a Large and magnificent City filled with Greek styled buildings and temples elevated by plateaus and small hills as numerous waterfalls are seen pouring crystal clear waters to the rivers bellow, countless marble pillars are all over, and everywhere they look there are Gaia trees that added the color to the city already vibrant city.
A white road is evident cutting across the city where Golden statues are seen guarding the sides of the road. A lake is seen on the east side of as the water seemed like it was glittering due to the reflection of the sun, and at center of the lake was a large fountain of a woman holding jags as clear water pouring onto the lake.
The west side of the city has a large structure that looks like a large temple and ruins are seen scattered across the temple grounds. While on the north side of the City at the distance was a tall mountain and its peak covered with clouds.
Everyone who looked at the city was still on Awe, "No Fucking way this is real." Zoro said rubbing his eyes thinking it was an illusion and looked, however, the city was still there.
Nami and the others just stood still and were still in the state of shock when a Man in silver armor went towards them. "Welcome to the Capitol of D'tiole, the Beautiful City of Anastasis, My name is Travis the guardsman here in this guard post." The Man said looking at the whole crew.
Luffy smiled immediately as the man talked. "I presume this is your first time here at Anastasis" Travis asked the young captain, as Luffy just nodded and looked at guardsman.
"How did you know that? Are you a Fortune teller?" The young captain asked innocently, as the guardsman just smiled. "No, because I saw the expression's on your face when you saw the city." He said then looked towards the others and smiled.
"Please enjoy your stay here at Anastasis, this is a map of the whole city and all the hotels are already marked so that you will not have a hard time finding them." The guardsman said as he went back to his post.
Luffy grinned at the guardsman and started to walk, "Thank you Rabies." The young captain said as he walked passed him, while Travis looked at Luffy with a confused face.
Luffy continued to walk towards the city as Giant marble statues filled the road, "this is incredible. I didn't know a place like this existed." Frankie said as he looked around.
Ace on the other hand was rather serious seeing the statues that surrounded the Gates. "Here we go." The raven-haired man said as they walked towards the city of Anastasis.
