No POV:
The two crew members continued to walk until they were near the center of the city. However, there weren't many structures for some reason. "Where is the rest of the City? I need to know in order to find the True History..." Robin muttered to herself. Ethan, who managed to recover, sighed. "Robin. I actually have a confession to make. I...I know the True History." he said. Robin whirled around, surprise present on her face. Ethan hung his head. "I didn't really want to tell you about it because I thought I had no right to accomplish your dream for you. But this morning, I've decided that maybe I should tell you about the True History, if you wanted to. I'm sorry about lying to you that I didn't know about the Void Century. I can only beg you to forgive me." he said, trembling in fear and anxiety. Robin's eyes shadowed, then she looked up. "Who told you about the True History?" she asked. "My old captain, Gol D Roger." replied Ethan. Robin widened her eyes. "Does that mean you know where-" she started to say. Ethan nodded. Then he looked up. "So, after we get out of the sky, do you want to know about-" He was immediately silenced when Robin held a finger to his lip. "Hush. I'm still a little upset at you for not telling me this sooner... but I want to know about it my way. You're forgiven Ethan. That being said, no more taking samples of relics as punishment." she said. Ethan nodded, a gloomy cloud above his head. "Understood, hime." he said sadly. Robin smiled. She finally stopped her crewmate's only flaw! "Good boy." she teased before walking towards a tunnel. Ethan followed, muttering that he wasn't a dog. At the end of the tunnel, they found themselves at the city's center. A giant beanstalk grew at the middle. Robin looked confused. "The city layout seems to be very different from my knowledge."she stated. "Unless..."
She quickly ran up the steps of a temple in front of them. Ethan looked at the beanstalk for a while before following. He saw Robin cutting a square hole into the island cloud and transporting small cubes out one at a time with her arms. "Light Ray Machete." said Ethan. He jumped down and started to help as well. After a while, they found that their was another layer of ruins under the cloud floor. "Hang on tight." Ethan told Robin. He carried her bridal style and flew down. He then set her down and walked towards the nearest opening. Robin followed and stood beside him. Both had a dumbfound looks upon their faces. "Even though it fell 800 years ago, Shandora is still majestic..." said Robin in reverence. Ethan could only nod. The two jumped down and walked on the road, marveling at the city, when Robin let out a gasp and ran towards a room. Curious, Ethan followed. And widened his eyes. For before the two was what looked like a poneglyph embedded on the wall.
Robin's POV:
I can't believe it! A poneglyph here! As Ethan slashed away at the vegetation with his Light Ray Machete so that I can see all of the writing, I relive my discussion from Alabasta with King Cobra. I shook those thoughts from my head when Ethan announced that he finished and started to read. "Hold our true motive in your hearts and speak not of it. We are the ones who weave history with the sounding of the grand belfry..." I read aloud. "A bell? That must be where the poneglyph is hidden!" exclaimed Ethan. "This city must have fallen in order to protect it!"
"You must be right. But I wonder...who took the gold?" I asked. Ethan furrowed his brow. "Perhaps if we keep walking, we'll find our answers." he said at last. I nodded we started to walk down the road once more. After surveying the city, I noticed something out of place. "Look! Rails. They look relatively new as well. I wonder what has been transported..." I mused to myself. Then I noticed a presence. Ethan also seemed to noticed. We both turned and saw a man with 4 large tomoe drums attached to his back just sitting there, eating an apple. "Enel, I presume?" said Ethan.
No POV:
The man stared at him impassively. "That's God to you." he replied. Ethan raised one of his eyebrows. "This city is grand, isn't it? Yet, no one has found it until I came along. And considering how fast you two discovered this place and the fact that the woman could read the letters, you two must be archaeologists." Enel said as he finished off the apple. "I'm an alchemist. She's an archaeologist. That being said, where is the gold?" asked Ethan. Enel smirked. "I took it. The metal suits my style." he replied. "Then I assume that you have the golden bell within your possession?" asked Robin. "No, although I do know it's here. In fact, once I'm done building my project, the Ark Maxim, I'll-" Enel suddenly cut himself off and glanced at his left. "Oh? I sense some maggots." he muttered. He then raised a golden staff he was carrying and emitted electricity. Ethan, whose pupils began to glow red, widened his eyes. "Wait! Stop!" he yelled. Enel just laughed. Ethan glowered in rage. "You just killed Pagaya!" He yelled (although in reality, he knew he was alive. It was a ruse to trick Enel). Robin widened her eyes. Enel grinned "That's right. Now, time to invite the rest of your friends... Sango!"
He raised his arm and turned it into electricity, before blasting the sky above it. 'A Logia fruit! What power!' thought Robin with awed and fearful eyes. Rubble rained from the sky, as well as Zoro, a Shandorian, the giant snake, and Chopper. After a while though, they saw Nami and Gan Fall come out of the snake's mouth. After rubble finally stopped falling, the newcomers (besides Chopper who was injured) picked themselves up. "Geez, that hurt." grumbled Zoro who picked himself off in front of them. "Sky Island is too scary!" whimpered Nami as she too appeared. Gan Fall also picked himself up from the ruins. "Swordsman-kun! Navigator-san!/ Zoro! Nami!" exclaimed the archaeologist and the alchemist. Then Ethan stared at something that Zoro carried. "Is that Chopper?!" he said in surprise. Zoro nodded. Ethan snarled before morphing into the Judge. "Who hurt him?" he said. "Relax, I defeated Chopper's opponent. That being said, you finally called us by our real names!" said Zoro happily. Ethan gave a questioning look. "I always called you guys by your real names." he replied. "LIAR!" yelled Zoro and Nami. Then... "Whew! That was a close one. I thought I was gonna die."
Ethan grinned. "Hey, Luffy. Nice of you to join us." he said. Standing beside him was his strawhat-wearing captain. "Hey, you're not calling me Idiot Captain anymore!" said Luffy happily. "What are you talking about? I always called you Luffy." replied Ethan. "LIAR!" yelled Luffy. Ethan shrugged, then told Luffy about the discoveries that he and Robin found, as well as his own suspicions. "So there is a giant bell up in the beanstalk?! Right then, I'm gonna ring it!" announced Luffy. Ethan chuckled, then noticed Aisa. "Eh? Who's this little girl?" he asked. "My name is Aisa, and I'm not a little girl! I'm a proud warrior of Shandora, you monster!" she yelled. "Zehehehehe! Is that so? That's a nice dream. By the way, I'm not a monster, I'm an angel." replied Ethan. "LIAR!" yelled Aisa. Ethan had a depressed cloud over his head.
A roar rang suddenly, attracting everyone's attention. They saw the giant snake roar at the sky with tears streaming from it's eyes. "Hmm, this city must've looked familiar to this snake..." mused Ethan to himself. However..."El Thor!"
A sudden shout from Enel summoned a column of lightning, which blasted the snake. Enel!" yelled out the Shandorian. "Why, Wiper! I thought you would be glad to see your ancestors' home." said Enel as he smirked. The Shandorian, now known as Wiper, growled. "You're a madman who cares little about life!" he yelled. Enel laughed. "You're all pathetic! But still, I congratulate you all for surviving in the end! Although...I thought only 5 of you would survive."
Zoro raised one of his eyebrows. "What the hell are you talking about?" he asked. "This whole time, you all have been playing a survival game. There can only be five winners, so either I choose who lives or you all figure it out by yourselves. The five winners gets to come with me to Fairy Vearth as my new priests, the place with unlimited land! And we'll watch as I destroy Skypeia aboard the Ark Maxim." said Enel with a laugh. "So, what do you all say?"
Wiper grabbed Aisa by her arm and took her to Nami, who was hiding behind some ruins with Chopper. "Stay here." he said before walking towards Enel. For once, Aisa obeyed. Luffy, Gan Fall, Zoro, Ethan, and Robin followed Wiper until they all stood in a line. Wiper aimed his bazooka at Enel. Luffy's eyes were shadowed by his hat. Gan Fall readied his lance, while Zoro got into his Three-Sword-Style stance. Ethan coated his arms and his sword with visible Haki and Robin crossed her hands. "How about if you die instead?" they said. Enel laughed. "I guess I get to choose who lives then. Unlike the Divine Squad, there will be no options. They are dead, by the way."
Gan Fall looked dumbfounded for a moment, then became enraged. Before anyone could stop him, he charged forward and attempted to stab Enel. However, the self-proclaimed god turned partially into electricity and zapped him. "20 Million Volt Vari!" yelled Enel as Gan Fall fell. "Weird Knight!" yelled Luffy. Enel then turned to Robin. "You were trying to find where the Golden Bell is through me, weren't you? I hate manipulative women." he said before blasting a bolt at Robin. It never hit her. "You okay, Robin-chan?"
Robin widened her eyes at the voice. Shielding her was Ethan, clad in pure Haki. "Ethan-kun." she whispered in shock. Ethan turned around. "Luffy! I know you usually fight one on one, but I have a bone to pick with him. I want to have a crack at him as well!" said Ethan. "Count me in. I always wanted to kick God's Ass." said Zoro. "You can't leave me out of this! I swore to defeat Enel!" yelled Wiper. Luffy grinned, then nodded. The four charged towards Enel. Wiper reached Enel first. He kicked at Enel with his seastone skates and shot him with his Burn Bazooka, but Enel dodged every single blow. "Oni Giri!"
Zoro arrived next, slashing at Enel. The "god" simply dissolved into electricity. Then he shocked his two opponents both to unconsciousness. "Yahahahaha! Is that all you can-" he was suddenly cut off from his gloating when Ethan slammed his Haki-coated fist into Enel's stomach. This was immediately followed by a blow from Luffy. "Luffy! Let's go" yelled Ethan. "Right!" shouted Luffy. The two positioned themselves in front and back of Enel. "Gum-Gum/Light Ray...Pistol!" they yelled. Enel laughed. "Fools! You hit me by pure fluke last time! I can predict all your movements!" he yelled triumphantly. But when he tried to dodge, he was hit by Ethan's attack, who predicted his move. During his loss of concentration, Luffy managed to land his hit on Enel. "So can I, you bastard!" yelled back Ethan. While Enel was trying to recover, Ethan and Luffy prepared to attack again. "Gum-Gum/Light Ray...Gatling!" they shouted. A barrage of fists and light blasted Enel on both sides. When the attack ended, Enel had a comical and exaggerated expression of shock, as well as a heavily bruised and cut body. He quickly shook it off, then trembled in rage. "You insolent mortals...Kari!" he roared. A large thunder clap blasted his opponents backwards. "El Thor!" he yelled again. An enormous column of electricity erupted from the heavens. "Light Ray Pillar!" roared Ethan as he expelled a pillar of light just as large. The pillar countered the column successfully. "Impossible!" gasped Enel. "Gum-Gum Bazooka!" yelled Luffy as he smashed Enel through a bunch of trees. "Aaagh! That's it, you'll all suffer my wrath! 60,000,000 Volt Julungul!" screamed Enel, before tapping two of his drums with his staff and . But instead of aiming at Ethan or Luffy, he aimed it at Robin, who was spectating from a distance. Time seemed to slow down as Ethan reached Robin in a sudden burst of speed. He tried to shield her, but they were both hit instead. Ethan crumpled to the ground, weakened by blocking El Thor, overusing Armament Haki, and trying to fend off the electrical dragon from the 60,000,000 Volt Julungul. He saw Robin fall beside him as well. 'At least I minimized the attack. I'm sorry, Robin.' Ethan said to himself. Then the world went black and he knew no more.
Ethan opened his eyes, and found himself bandaged up in the ship's infirmary. "What the hell? Where is my coat?" he asked himself. He started to rip off the bandages and found his clothes. Then he walked outside. When he came up on deck, he heard hushed voices. "Is he going to be okay? I mean, he's been in a coma for two days..." said Usopp. "Doctor-San? Will he wake up? I owe him my life twice now." asked Robin with worry in her voice. "Well, he only suffered from severe exhaustion and some burns. He should wake up after a few days." replied Chopper. Ethan started to shed black tears that turned clear. 'T-they are worried about me?' he cried out in his head. He then wiped away his tears, breathed for a while, then grinned. 'Zehehehehe, I think I'll play a small joke.' he said to himself. "Light Ray Cloak." he whispered under his breath as he bent what little light there was around him. He then crept silently behind Robin, then hugged her while at the same time turning visible. "Guess who?" he murmured. Everyone jumped. "ETHAN?!" they yelled. Ethan grinned, then let go of Robin. "Sorry about that." he said. "Hey, you're not supposed to be awake for four more days! Go back to sleep!" yelled Chopper. "But Tanuki, I'm fine." complained Ethan. Robin frowned. "Ethan-kun, I really think you should have a short nap at least." she said. "But I'm fine." replied Ethan. Robin pouted cutely. "Hmmm, maybe I should do it later..." mused Ethan. Robin suddenly smiled. "If I sleep with you, would you go take a nap right now?" she asked. Ethan's face flushed red. "Okay, I'm going to take a small nap. Please don't disturb me." said Ethan before walking towards his lab (which was located underneath the deck). Chopper followed, saying that the bandages needed to be placed on again, but was stopped when Ethan locked him out. He sighed while Robin giggled a little. "Well, it is late. We should sleep." said Nami. The rest of the crew wholeheartedly agreed and slept. Meanwhile, Ethan (who was not napping) glanced at a metal box as tall as a person with a sliding door near where the face would be. He opened the door and stared at the inside. "One day, I'll figure out who you are." he said. Inside of the box was a woman whose skin was burned away and was suspended in some kind of lime-green liquid. The liquid was currently regrowing the skin slowly. She also wore a mask supplying air. Ethan found her almost dead in the island of Ohara, in the middle of the Tree of Knowledge. Though he didn't know at the time, the woman he was currently trying to save was no other than Nico Olvia, the mother of Nico Robin.
Chapter 8 end.
DUN DUN! Ethan has Robin's mom stashed away! I wonder what he's doing to her... Anyway, hello people. So, I want to do something a little odd and weird. I'm going to make this story an OC x Robin x Olvia. Again, it's weird, but I think it's also pretty unique. To me, it's no different than those Naruto x Kushina fanfics. That being said, I will not be doing lemons. Not my style. I have also updated Chapters 1 and 2 on 11/28/2017. The fight scene when the crew arrives on El Dorado has more action, Kamikaze Pillar of Veangence is now Light Ray Pillar with a few differences, and there are a few more attacks for Ethan. That's all for this chapter, and remember, reviews are welcome
