Welcome to Punk Hazard Straw hats! A brand new adventure awaits Part One
Last time on the Story of the Dragon Pirate:
"Goku... Will you make an exception and allow me to join your crew?" Hancock asked. Goku smiled and turned back to the Empress. He placed his hand in front of her to shake. "Welcome to the Straw Hat Crew Hancock!" Goku grinned. Hancock smiled and turned to her sisters and gave them one last hug. "We wo... won't let you down big sis" Marigold said tearing up a little. "We promise" Sandersonia said tearing up too.
"Well I heard a distress call from the communicator so I want to go there!" Luffy said excitedly. Nami slammed his head to the ground, "Idiot we don't know if that could be a trap or not!" Luffy slowly got up "It can still be fun..." Luffy said. "Yeah I agree with Luffy on this one" Robin smiled which took everyone by surprise that she would agree with Luffy's erratic decision making. "SEE EVEN ROBIN AGREE'S" Luffy grinned. Nami sighed and gave up. Goku smiled and raised his fist in the air "Alright! Next adventure a distress call!" Goku said. The crew started to laugh as they were on their way to a new adventure with their new crew member, Boa Hancock.
Back on the ship...
The day couldn't have been any more beautiful than it already was. Warm weather, not one cloud in the sky, the sun shining brightly across the horizon and the waves have finally settled down. The perfect day for catching food and training as Goku had called it. The sayian along with Luffy, Zoro and Sanji were at the side of the boat watching the sea as if concentrating.
"Come on already! When's the fish gonna jump up, I'm starving here!" Luffy shouted impatiently, Goku grinned and gave a soft chuckle. "Just give it a few minutes Luffy, I'm sure it will jump out soon" Goku said not taking his eyes off the sea. Sanji tapped his fingers of the side of the boat and immediately an idea came to him. "Or..." Sanji started up getting the other three's attention. "We could make a game out of it and see who can get the most fish in the sea" Sanji pointed out.
Zoro rolled his eyes, "So how do we play Chef head?" Wham* Zoro pulled out his swords to block an incoming kick from Sanji. "Shut it Moss head! Before I add unpleasant things into your food" Sanji shouted before sending another kick along with Zoro parrying it with a second block. "Bring it! I'll ingest poison and razors!" Zoro said holding back Sanji's attack. Attack after parry, both fighters were ready to get it on, they didn't care who got in their way as long as they got their chance to fight each other. It ended very shortly after Goku held onto Zoro while Luffy held onto Sanji both foaming from the mouth and angrily thrashing to get free. Finally, after having both Sanji and Zoro cool off and be able to stand near each other without literally destroying the ship, Sanji proceeded to explain how the game will be played.
"Ok, before I was interrupted..." Sanji gave a quick glare and Zoro who also gave a glare back. "So the game goes like this, it will be a two on two where one person will split the water and send the fish flying while the other guy kicks in as many fishes as he can right onto the ship, whoever has the most fish before the water recedes back into the ocean wins." Sanji grinned. Goku and Luffy nodded in agreement. They were going to pair up before being grabbed by Sanji and Zoro. "Oh no Luffy you're on my team" Sanji said looking back at Zoro and Goku. Zoro glanced towards Luffy and Sanji before looking back at Goku, "I am not being paired with that chef, we're teaming up Goku, and I'll catch while you split the water" Zoro said before Goku nodded. Sanji gave the same talk to Luffy as the four of them came together at the side of the ship again.
Sanji pulled a coin and held it out, both sides knew what he was about to say, "Heads" Zoro calmly said as Sanji simply flipped the coin. They slowly watched the coin drop down onto the floor holding their breaths waiting for which team would get a shot at their little game first. It bounced back into the air and back down before it sadly rolled off the side and into the water. The four men eyes widened and mouths gaped a little before looking at each other. "Bwhahaha!" Zoro and Goku were rolling on the floor laughing along with Sanji and Luffy. "Okay Okay... For real..." Sanji and the rest of the guys couldn't control themselves as they found the coin rolling off the side just too damn funny. Such a serious aura faded away from the faces of the four, as it had been replaced by utter glee. Their laughter was loud enough to bring the rest of the crew up top of the ship to where the four were.
Nami was the first to arrive along with Robin, Franky, Chopper, Ussop, Brook and last Boa Hancock. "What's going on?" Nami asked the three laughing and smiling, Sanji was on the floor with hearts on his eyes seeing Nami, Robin and Hancock before shaking it off and returning back to his original self. "Ha ha nothing much really, we were just gonna play a game so we decided to flip a coin to see who goes first but it just fell off the side of the ship, we don't know what happened but we just lost it!" Luffy grinned. "Anyways, let's settle this finally" Sanji chuckled while pulling out another coin from his pocket as the rest of the crew crowded around the four. (A.N: Okay I'm doing filler right now but later in the chapter it will go back to the main plot, so don't worry it won't be all about a fish! Lol)
Sanji flipped the coin and it landed with a twirl spinning on its curve as a ballerina would spin on their feet. The coin was slowly losing speed as it tipped over and landed with a thud on the hard floor of the ship. *Tails* "Damn..." Zoro snapped his fingers in defeat. Sanji and Luffy let out a huge grin; Luffy cracked his knuckles while Sanji tightened his legs ready to run towards the sea. Luffy inhaled a large amount of air and bit into his fist allowing it to expand in size. Once his fist reached max size, Luffy jumped into the air and aimed at the sea and slammed it down, though the water made his hand feel weak, he was able to split the water and shot the fish into the air to everyone's amusement.
Sanji shot out towards the outside and jumped into the air kicking as many fishes back into the ship. Luffy caught the fishes and placed them to the side while Sanji repeatedly kicked them back in. The water was flowing back and the fishes were falling back down into the water. Sanji submerged into the sea as Goku flew over to pick him up. Huff* Huff* "How... many was... that?" Sanji panted as the rest of the crew counted the total. "Around 7,000 fishes" Robin said letting out a grin.
Zoro grumbled under his breath and nodded at Goku, the sayian nodded back flaring up his ki as a white aura engulfed the sayian. Hancock blushed furiously as she witnessed Goku preparing his stance. "Alright I'm ready Zoro" Goku said with a smile, Zoro tightened his muscles waiting on Goku. The sayian pushed his power towards his fist which was going to allow him to split the sea. Goku tightened his arm and retracted. "HA!" Goku shouted as he pushed his fist forward allowing the air flow to forcefully be pushed onto the sea splitting the sea even wider than what Luffy could have done.
Zoro ran towards the outside and straight at the airborne fish, He knocked some fishes towards Goku but was flying over the ship, "damn it" Goku thought as he flew up in the air and was catching the fish and bringing them back down on the ground. "1000... 2000... 3000" Ussop was counting the amount falling down into the ship. Zoro was pushing to overtime and accelerated his speed, kicking the fishes faster. Goku adapting to the sudden increase in speed was catching the fish not letting even one pass him.
The sea was filling back with water and Goku instant transmissioned near Zoro catching him before he submerged into the water. The rest of the crew, excluding Sanji cheered as Goku and Zoro flew back into the ship. "So... how many... did I catch?" Zoro panted heavily as the crew once again counted up the fishes. "Woah..." Franky said taking a step back "Well" Goku couldn't hold his excitement in anymore as he grinned as little kid would when seeing something that would spark amusement in their eyes. "It's over 9000!" Franky said shocking the crew except Goku and Zoro who cheered and gave a high five on their win.
"Dang it Sanji, you were too slow!" Luffy said wrapping his head around Sanji who was chocking him angrily. "I was slow?! You didn't make the water split far enough, otherwise we would have won!" Sanji yelled as the crew grinned at their friends bickering. Eventually Sanji and Luffy calmed down while Goku and Zoro carried back the fish into the ship. Luffy's stomach grumbled, "When's food ready, I'm starving after playing our game" Luffy grinned. Sanji sighed and took out a cigarette before lighting it up "I'll make lunch, just need to prepare the fish quickly" Sanji said before walking towards the door and entered the ship.
Goku came out with a grin and pulled out a capsule. He clicked the top and threw it onto the floorboards, boom* the capsule exploded and immediately red tubes appeared on the ground. Goku tossed the red tubes to Luffy and he slipped it into his arms and legs before increasing the gravity to 5x earth's gravity. Luffy felt heavy and was slowly dropping to the floor. Luffy gritted his teeth and pushed with all his might, regaining his composure before giving a smirk.
Goku started training intensively with Luffy while the rest of the crew did their regular activities, Brook played his violin and practiced his tuning while Nami looked at a map to see how far the island Luffy wanted to see. Nami narrowed her eyes and a chill went through her spine as she read the fine print that labeled the island, Punk Hazard.
Robin sat in a folding chair and was sipping on a drink while reading a book, Chopper was studying the ingredients that were in a senzu bean, it intrigued him as the bean had magical powers to keep a regular human full for ten days, and immediately heal the user to their max power. If that didn't excite Chopper, he didn't know what would. Franky was flexing his robot muscles in front of Hancock to her annoyance as she super kicked him into the ship's sail. "That will teach you" Hancock said with a hint of venom in her voice before walking away towards Robin and sat in a folding chair watching Goku and Luffy.
Goku and Luffy were doing push-ups; Luffy seemed to be struggling to lift himself up. "Come on Luffy! Just one more and that'll be 1000!" Goku cheered on Luffy giving him the motivation to lift himself up one last time before dropping to the ground panting. The sayian grinned helping Luffy up while taking the training gear and slipped it into his own arms and legs to start his training. Goku increased the weight to 200x earth's gravity and increased his ki allowing a white aura to engulf him as he soared into the air and started to repeatedly kick and punch the air at god-like speeds.
Luffy whistled as he watched Goku intensify his training regime to 500X times earth's gravity. The weight was slowly pushing Goku back down to the ship but he wouldn't allow it. Goku got into his stance and took a breath. The area began to shake slowly as Robin's drink began to vibrate causing the liquid to start rising from the cup. Robin and Hancock noticed this and looked up to see Goku's aura flickering a golden color and back to white repeatedly.
Goku's hair was slowly spiking up and down, his eyes were turning a shade of green. "HAAA!" Goku shouted as a burst of light exploded from Goku's body radiating around him, the light was so bright it made everyone near him cover their eyes. The shaking had stopped and the liquid dropped back into the cup as everyone opened their eyes to witness Goku disappearing and reappearing around the sky punching and kicking faster than before. The sayian was finally breaking a sweat; he cupped his hands together as he began to charge his power into one part of his body.
KA... ME... an energy ball appeared between Goku's hands and was compressing together. HA...ME... the ball of light started to grow in size and strength, shining across the sky, Goku closed his eyes and took a breath centering his attack into one shot. He quickly opened his eyes as the ball of energy reached its max. "HAAAAAA!" Goku shouted thrusting his hands outwards as the blast exploded towards the sea. Goku instant transmissioned away from his position and appeared in front of the blast. "Goku!" Robin, Brook, Chopper, Franky and Nami shouted, worried he would get hurt by the blast, Hancock and Luffy smiled knowing better.
Goku held out his hands to stop the blast midflight but was pushing the airborne fighter aback a little. "What is he thinking?!" Robin said in disbelief. The door leading to the inside ship opened and everyone except Goku looked to see a very tired Zoro rubbing his eyes, showing he was sleeping before. "Whoever woke me up from my sleep..." Zoro yawned but still managed to have a threatening look. "Hmm? WHAT THE HELL?!" Zoro shouted in shock seeing a massive energy blast in the sky and his crew mate, Goku was trying to stop it.
In reflex Zoro pulled out his swords and leaned forward but was stopped by a grinning Luffy. "It's alright Zoro, Goku's got this!" Luffy said smirking back at Goku. Zoro didn't understand fully but placed his swords back to his side and continued to watch his crew mate take on the massive blast. The attack was so big and loud the sea started shaking violently causing everyone to tumble because they couldn't hold their stance against the violent rumble."Haaaaaa!" Goku shouted as he retracted his right arm and made a fist. He punctured his fist into the wave and instantly a huge explosion engulfed Goku making it impossible to see what had happened to him.
Smoke filled the air as everyone silently watched the smoke float around the sky. Immediately something popped from the smoke and headed towards the lower regions of the ship. The dust receded and everyone saw it was Goku with his eyes closed falling towards the ship. "Goku!" Hancock and Luffy shouted in shock as they all ran to the front and saw Goku crash onto the floor and do a barrel roll into some boxes.
They all jumped down to the lower region to hear laughter, as they closed in on Goku's location, they were surprised to what they saw. Goku was back to base form scratching the back of his head laughing as his top gi was scorched leaving only his pants revealing his chiseled chest. Robin, Hancock and Nami turned their heads away as their cheeks tinted slightly red from gazing at Goku. To everyone's surprise Goku was still alive and kicking. "Whoops I guess I took it a little too far" The sayian chuckled as Zoro and Luffy reached down and brought him to his feet.
Goku grinned to everyone's surprise. "I guess I'll train later in the day then" Goku simply said as everyone smiled with amusement. Hancock placed her hand on the saiyan's shoulder with a worried look. "Are you alright Goku san?" Hancock observed Goku and saw no external damage had affected him; she just cared too much to not ask. Goku gave a smile that melted the Empress inside. "Of course! I just got careless Hancock chan" Goku said taking off his training gear. Hancock blushed slightly when she heard that suffix in her name.
Goku looked down and saw his gi was repairing slowly. Goku sighed and looked at Zoro, "Hey can I borrow some clothes until mine are done repairing?" Goku asked, Zoro nodded and pointed to the inside of the ship. "Go down two halls and take a left, you'll find my room." Goku grinned and bowed "Thanks Zoro". The Sayian turned his body a whole 180 and bolted into the ship within a second trailing dust inside the ship. A few minutes later, Poof* Goku instant transmissioned right in front of everyone and the three women couldn't stop gawking at him.
Goku was wearing a fitted black t-shirt that wrapped around his toned upper body and developed arms. He wore blue jeans and a black belt to keep it in place. Goku replaced his regular training shoes with dark green military grade boots; lastly Goku had a brown coat that fell down to his shoes, it complimented the fitted t-shirt. Goku smiled as he walked towards his friends "I couldn't find anything else that would fit me so I chose this" the sayian shrugged. Luffy was about to say something when the door opened from behind them, they all turned around to see Sanji puffing on a cigarette
"Alright lunch is ready come inside and grab some" Sanji said with a smile, Goku and Luffy's eye shined with stars as they heard lunch was ready. They dashed into the ship leaving the crew far behind, Nami couldn't help but giggle. "Boys will be boys" The rest of the crew followed into the ship getting some food. Once they received their lunch they brought it outside to enjoy the sunny day. Luffy sat cross-legged eating his lunch that would be enough for 10 people talking and laughing with Franky, Brook, Chopper and Ussop, sharing stories about their previous journeys.
Nami and Robin were sun-tanning while Sanji kneeled and gave them a fruit smoothie, Zoro was on top of the sail eating and sleeping at the same time. Nobody knew how he could do it but Zoro did it with ease. Goku was doing a one handed stand with his eyes closed. Goku sensed someone approaching him and opened his eyes with his mouth drooling from what he saw. Hancock pulling a tray full of food in front of him. Goku did a flip and landed on his feet with a grin. "Thanks Hancock!" Goku took a plate and sat cross-legged while the empress sat on her knees and fed the sayian sea king ham with 20 rolls of sushi. "Goku... here you go! Eat up now!" Hancock smiled happily.
Goku felt like he was in heaven, the sea king ham was too good especially with the secret sauce Sanji used to make the ham have a zesty taste to it. "Man this stuff is delicious! And being fed by you just makes everything taste better!" Goku said. Hancock giggled from his response "Oh, don't be silly now!" Hancock smiled. "You're a true friend Hancock" Goku said with a smile that made the empress cheek turn red. *Comical fall from the rest of the crew*
They were watching the sayian and empress eat until they heard what Goku had said. "Does... does Goku even know?" Nami said in disbelief, Robin shook her head in surprise "I don't think so Nami..." Sanji was pounding his fist on the ground repeatedly with tears in his eyes. "Dammit, why does Goku always get the girl!" Ussop gave a small smile "I can't believe that one of the seven Warlords of the sea has a crush, especially since its Goku!" They all nodded in agreement.
Boom*
The crew suddenly took their attention the seismic wave that pushed them up into the air. Goku regaining his senses from the massive food coma he was in, dashed on the underside of the boat and gently floated it back to the rough waters. Nami gaining her balance ran towards the edge and pointed to an island spewing molten lava. "Look! A volcano just erupted on that island!" Nami shouted bringing everyone to her position. She looked down to her compass that one of the fish people back at Shirahoshi's home gave her and noticed none of the three compasses were pointing towards the island.
"Alright! Let's get closer!" Luffy grinned happily to Ussop, Chopper and Nami's dismay. "Listen Luffy! We don't know what's there, sure you heard a distress call from there but we don't know if it could be real or a trap!" Nami said trying to convince her captain but Luffy wouldn't have any of it. "I don't care! I wanna go there! Besides we can see it already" the captain pumped his fist into the air. Nami pointed towards the sea. "We can't get any closer Luffy, that's a sea of fire!" Goku scratched his head in confusion. "Wait I thought water extinguishes fire?" the saiyan thought remembering a time where he almost burned his house down trying to make a bowl of ramen.
Flashback* Goku woke up from his slumber and noticed it was morning. "Hm?" Goku half asleep said to himself. Goku got up and did some stretches and pushups until he felt a little more awake. "Ah man, I feel great!" Goku stretched his arms out gleefully. Goku walked to the kitchen and noticed Chi chi wasn't there. "Oh yeah, Chi Chi mentioned something about leaving to see her dad for a few days" Goku thought. *Stomach growl noises* The sayian looked down and patted his stomach. "Well I guess I have to make something for myself then!" The sayian chuckled and walked over to the cabinets full of food.
The sayian sighed as he wanted something new instead of his usual breakfast. "Soup... nah, Pizza?... had that yesterday" Goku thought as he was scavenging around the cabinets and fridge. "Oh cake!" Goku munched down happily while looking around a little more. *Stomach grumble noises* The sayian lurched forward with a pained look. "Man, if I don't find something I'll die of starvation." Goku thought before noticing a round object on top of the fridge. Curious, Goku reached out and grabbed the cup and read the label. "Ramen, what is that?" Goku said with a quizzical expression.
Goku opened the top and found a square shaped pack of yellow lines tightly compressed together. He pulled out the square object and took a bite. "Pwah! Why would anyone want to buy this!?" Goku hated the taste; he looked at the cup and saw more words on the side. He observed closer and saw it was labeled all in bold letters: Instructions. A few minutes of reading the instructions* Goku was almost done, all he needed to do was read the last instruction. "Add spice/ flavoring into ramen for a savory experience" Goku read out loud. He reached over and picked up a packet labeled spice. "Here it is!" Goku smiled happily and tried throwing it into the ramen but sadly landed into the fire and erupted into flames scattering across the room.
"AHH!" Goku yelled as he stomped on the fire but was growing erratically around the house. Goku ran outside watching smoke erupted from the roof. "Oh god Chi chi is gonna kill me!" the sayian thought. "What do I do, What do I do, WHAT DO I DO!" Goku screamed in his thoughts until a child like voice rang inside his head. He recognized the voice to be his son Gohan. "Always put out fire with water dad" the voice spoke. Goku's eyes widened as he remembered Gohan once telling him as a kid about water drowning fire. "I got it!" Goku shouted as he ran towards the edge of his house and picked it from the ground before running towards the river and throwing it in. Though in the end he was given a scolding and beating with a frying pan from Chi chi, he still remembered his son's words. End of flashback*
Goku kept his thoughts to himself and watched what his crew mates would do. Ussop was shouting trying to get everyone's attention "Guys the ship is heading towards the fire! We're going to be burned to a crisp" Franky scoffed "No Way! The Sunny's super-not-gonna-lose to something like that!" Franky shouted offended that his friend would say such a thing.
Nami was annoyed at the two "This isn't a game! This ocean's crazy! Look" Nami pointed to the masses of skeleton fishes near the boat. "All these fishes we're burned to the bone!" Nami said. "Yes, you rang?" Brook joked as he heard bone; he would regret it as Nami suddenly pulled out a frying pan and started chasing Brook around. "Can't you take a joke YO HO HO HO" Brook laughed holding onto his hat while being chased by the enraged Nami. Goku, Brook, Luffy along with the other guys jumped on top of the sail to avoid Nami's wrath of destruction, even though it wasn't for them, they wouldn't take any chances. Nami was steaming holding her pan out towards them "Get down here now!" Sanji's eyes had hearts for eyes. "Oh I love it when you're angry Nami san! But... I'm gonna stay here for a while... just until you aren't as mad" Sanji said along with nods from the rest of the guys.
Robin and Hancock couldn't help but giggle from their crews antics. Luffy sighed out loud. "Man if we're all scared of Nami, I wonder how scary those samurai's are at Punk Hazard" Luffy grinned getting Zoro's attention. "Samurai? What is that?" Zoro said with a quizzical look at Brook while holding onto the ship's sail. "Ah, "samurai" is what they call swordsmen of Wa-No-Kuni" (The country of harmony) "Their country has a closed door policy to outsiders; they aren't even affiliated with the World Government. They are so strong that not even the marines go near there" Brook said getting a smirk from Zoro. "So wait Luffy, how did you know Samurai's were at Punk Hazard?" Chopper asked.
Luffy burrowed his eyebrows trying to remember "Hmm... where did I find o- Oh wait now I remember!" Luffy grinned "Back when the tournament was over and we were packing up the snail phone started to ring and cry" Luffy said. "Cry?" Chopper had a quizzical look hearing the snail phone had started to cry.
One day ago...
"Luffy! Are you all done?" A female voice called at the ship, Luffy was snoring until he heard the voice "wha... wha" Luffy stumbled up and saw Robin along with Ussop calling towards him, he grinned and waved "Hey Robin, sorry I fell asleep, what did you asked?" Luffy smiled sheepishly. Robin sighed and repeated her question. "I asked if you were done. We're going to be headed out soon" Luffy nodded "Yeah I'm don-" Brrriing* Brrriing* Puohoooo hohohoho! Puohoooo hohohoho! Crying was heard inside the ship and Luffy turned around to see it was the snail phone crying.
Luffy's eyes widened in surprise, he turned back to Robin and Ussop pointing behind him "Hey you might wanna get in here! The Den-Den Mushi's crying!" Luffy said running back inside. Robin and Ussop didn't understand fully but ran inside where Luffy was and also noticed the snail phone was crying. Luffy was hunched over asking the snail what's wrong only to hear wails in return. Luffy was eyeing the call receiver and was about the grab it. "So if I pick it up I'll be able to talk with them?"
Robin held out her hand to stop him. "Wait Luffy! We don't know if this emergency call is real or not, there's more than a 50% chance of it being tapped potentially discovering where we go next!" Robin said with Ussop nodding profusely. "That's right Luffy, think careful-" "Hello?! I'm Luffy! I'm the guy who's going to be the next Pirate King!" Luffy was slapped in the back of the head by an irate Ussop. "You didn't even wait a second! And you said too much!"
"HELP ME!" The snail phone cried out in tears. "The crew... keeps getting killed one after the other! Oh man i'm so cold; they keep getting killed by the samurai!" A door was heard broken from the other side of the receiver. "N... NO! Please, I don't care who comes, Just please send someone... Help us! We're on Punk Hazard!" The snail phone shouted before a slash was heard and the snail coughed blood. "Gyah! Uwah! He stabbed me!" The snail phone ended with static leaving the three pondering what to do with the knowledge they had just obtained.
End of flashback...
"And that's how I know" Luffy said brining back chills to Ussop's spine. "He just said he got stabbed, he is most likely dead and Luffy said we have to go and see what happened" Ussop shuddered. The guys climbed back down noticing Nami was away from the proximity and had cooled off leading the ship as close as she could to the sea of fire. "I'm sure that guy's alive; anyways let's go save that guy!" Luffy gave a shout with his fist pumped in the air. It was decided that Luffy along with Goku, Ussop, Zoro, and Robin were to be the ones to journey across the sea of fire and observe anything before they could all go. Franky lowered a small ship that was able to fit 4 people, Goku decided he would fly across allowing the other four to sail over.
Nami pulled out her weather staff and aimed it at the sea; she retracted and slammed it down "Milky Rod!" Nami shouted as a white cloudy substance formed and shot straight across and over the flames allowing a clear path for the ship to cross. Goku lowered Luffy along with Zoro, Ussop and lastly Robin. She clung to his waist as he lowered her to the ship. "Thanks Goku" Robin flirtatiously smiled as Goku gave a thumb up before floating in the air. Hancock was fuming giving Robin a death glare and crossed her arms in annoyance as she scoffed gaining the attention of a few from the ship.
The ship started to move across the cloud as Goku followed behind them, the crew on the ship waved at them and the five followed suit. "Good luck everyone!" Chopper shouted as the five were out of sight and crossed over the towering flames. Goku floated towards the crew discussing what they were going to do once they reached the island. "We'll see what we're going to do Goku" Zoro simply said folding his arms behind his head as if trying to get some shut eye. Snore* Smack*
"How can you sleep at a time like this?! Who knows what things lurk in this island!" Ussop shouted after smacking Zoro awake. " "And why are you eating now Luffy?! We just had lunch!" Ussop was getting annoyed and freaked out by his two crew mates and by the surroundings he's in. "Sorry..." They mumbled under their breaths as Goku grinned happily while Robin covered her mouth giggling. Eventually Goku and the crew found the door that lead to Punk Hazard.
"Look at the size of it!" Luffy's eyes were replaced with stars as he was ready to enter through. Goku shared the same excitement before Ussop pointed to a sign. *Danger Keep Out, World Government and Marines*"look, it seems the world government had taken over before we got here, Oh well, I guess we'll have to go back now..." Ergk* Luffy opened the door letting in everyone except Ussop who's eyes nearly popped out from his socket. "You people are criminals now! Although we are pirates..." Ussop shouted running towards the crew who was leaving him behind and continued to explore the area.
Huff* Huff* "It's like a furnace in here" Zoro barely spoke as his voice felt dry. The crew took off some external clothes allowing them to breathe more freely. "Ah much better!" Goku grinned taking off his t-shirt and brown coat. Luffy, Zoro and Ussop took off their shirts allowing them to breathe easier as the heat stuck their clothes too close to their already heated bodies. Robin took off her shirt but underneath she wore a tank top covered with flowers. The crew sighed in relief as the heat subsided for awhile but they still felt a little too warm for comfort. Robin narrowed her eyes viewing the place that surrounded her, "It doesn't seem like this island was always on fire, possibly due to natural causes or an accident?" Robin questioned. "Either way... it's too damn hot!" Luffy panted as they all walked along the treaded path leading deeper into the burning island.
"Yeah, too hot..." Goku frowned as he looked at around the island. Ussop was the first to see his reaction. "What's wrong Goku?" They all turned to look at the stoic expression of Goku. "Does anyone feel cold?" Goku asked not looking at his crew mates but to his surroundings. "What?" Zoro said with confused expression, "what do you mean Goku?" Luffy asked. "Do any of you feel cold?" Goku said again with a serious tone. They all nodded no in unison; Goku narrowed his eyes "I thought so..." Goku flew closer to the island and was turning his head 360 degrees as if trying to find something. "Goku why did you ask us that?" Robin questioned, Goku floated back down and started to speak.
"Well remember what that man who spoke in the snail phone said" Goku looked at Luffy who still had a confused expression. "He said he felt cold, well... how can someone be cold, in the middle of all this?" Goku extended his hands outwards to his surroundings. They all had a surprised look, they actually hadn't thought about it before and what really shocked them was the fact Goku was the one to figure it out. The guy who didn't know about Hancock's crush over him.
"It's been bugging me for awhile but I didn't know if I would sound dumb if I asked" Goku scratched the back of his head and grinned nervously. Ussop shook his head "No that's true Goku, how could someone feel cold here?" Ussop said before Robin spoke up with her theory. "Maybe there's a cold place in the burning island, or maybe he was so frightened he felt cold?" "Or maybe he was just an idiot" Luffy chimed in. Ussop just sighed "No Luffy, I'm sure Robin's theory was a better explanation" Luffy pouted "hey at least I was giving a theory! I didn't see you saying anything!" Luffy said.
Clatter* Rumble* Goku and the four turned around to see a creature walking towards them from a shadow. Ussop's eyes widened from shock. "What?!" "Woah!? These things actually exist?!" Luffy said in disbelief. "No... They're just from fairy tales! They can't possibly be real!?" Zoro said in doubtfulness. "But look at it there's nothing else you can call it but..." Robin started "Is that you Shenron!?" Goku shouted gaining a couple a quizzical looks from his crew mates. The large creature appeared, revealing to be a red dragon the size of two empire state buildings stacked together.
"Who are you..." The dragon spoke only for Goku and Luffy to hear. "Eh?! It can speak?!" Luffy said in shock though Goku was okay with this since he has already seen not one but two dragons speak before, so this was natural. The dragon retracted its mouth and instantly everyone knew what it was trying to do. "Get to cover!" Zoro shouted as everyone jumped behind some rubble as the Dragon blazed the area with fire. "Woah! Not even Shenron would shoot out fire from its mouth" Goku feeling a little jealous at the moment. Luffy stretched his hands forwards to some nearby rubble and pulled back gaining some distance.
"Gomu Gomu no..." Luffy said releasing from the ground and shooting straight at the dragon's head. "JET PISTOL!" Luffy slammed his fist into the dragon's head only for it to bounce away."Wah?! This dragon is strong!" Luffy said as he jumped high into the air avoiding a tail sweep from the dragon. Robin crossed her arms in the shape of an x and immediately two large hands surrounded the creature holding it down. Goku raised his aura and engulfed his fist in a veil of white aura. "Argh!" Goku shouted as he launched his fist into the dragon's nose. Boom*
The dragon's body started to vibrate violently from the strike, what happened next took them by surprise as a pair of legs popped from the top of the defeated dragon onto the ground. Hysterically terrified, Ussop screamed as he jumped into Goku's arms almost losing his balance due to the unexpected move from Ussop. They observed the sight in front of them and noticed the legs were wrapped in a kimono wear from the bottom and had shoes that resembled what a samurai would wear. (Geta)
"Hey calm down Ussop it's not doing anything" Goku assured Ussop who slowly got back to the ground. The legs suddenly jumped from the ground and landed on its feet. "Wah!" Goku, Luffy, Zoro and Ussop screamed as they comically ran, toppled over each other and dolphin dived behind some rubble; Robin simply walked to them and hid behind the rubble with them. "Oh! I got separated De Gozabuh!" The legs spoke taking everyone by surprise. "How does a leg talk? It doesn't have a mouth?!" Zoro said disgusted. "That's physically not possible!" Ussop shouted in agreement.
"Who's there?" The legs spoke turning a full 180 towards. "What are you doing? I can sense you for I have no eyes or ears!" Goku was surprised to hear he wasn't the only one to be able to sense other people's energy. Luffy started to move away from the rubble and near the pair of legs "You are pretty unique" Luffy said getting closer only to be stopped by a flying kick that nearly grazed Luffy. "Buh! I don't know who you are, buh, but let me pass buh! I cannot die in a place like this buh!" The legs shouted sending another kick.
Luffy managed to dodge the kick thanks to Goku's training but stumbled to the ground while the pair of legs turned around and bolted out of the area. "Ah! He's running away!" Zoro pointed the legs sprinted while shouting out loud. "I will not let my target get away buh! That foolish shichibukai!" The legs ran away from the crew's field of view. "Wait! Come join my crew!" Luffy had stars for eyes and raised his hand only to be slapped by Ussop in anger. "What is wrong with you Luffy?! In fact what in the world is going on?!" Ussop shouted.
Back on the ship...
"Nami san! Hancock chan! I've made a cold deep sea crepe for you!" Sanji walked out the door with hearts in his eyes but didn't see anyone. He walked around the ship and noticed a fog surrounding the ship, he shrugged it off but felt a little tired, he considered once he found the crew he would take a nap. As Sanji continued to walk down to main area, he noticed everyone on the floor passed out. "Nami, Hancock!" Sanji rushed over dropping everything onto the ground as he kneeled to their sides and checked their neck for a pulse, he sighed in relief they were still alive.
Sanji looked up and took a closer look at the fog, "This... this isn't fog! Is it knock out gas? Damn, if it is I breathed in a lot!" Sanji covered his mouth trying to run towards the snail phone but was barely able to walk to it. He opened the door to the snail phone and collapsed to the floor as his legs gave weigh. Sanji mustered all his strength to move his arms closer to the phone but could only move a few inches. "Luffy and the rest are still on the island! I hope they have a snail phone as well!" Sanji said trying to reach the phone desperately but couldn't as he finally passed out from the gas. The second Sanji passed out a few people appeared in the ship. They were all wearing the same thing. A hazard suit with large backpacks that read PH. They were all carrying a tube that emitted the same fog that Sanji had noticed before. They turned off the gas and counted how many people were on board.
A midget person ran to the largest of the group and gave a salute. "Sir there appears to be three humans, one humanoid Iron man and a pet" (referring to Chopper) the largest of the group looked down to see the rest of the group dragging the pirates in front of him. "Tie them all up and we'll bring them back to master" the man spoke as the rest saluted. "Roger!" He looked back at the pirates and gave a small chuckle. "How ideal, they're pirates, no one would notice if some pirates were to disappear suddenly." The large man said walking towards away from the unconscious group.
Back at Punk Hazard...
Luffy and the crew were chasing the two legs but couldn't catch up to him. "Oh forget this!" Goku said in annoyance as he dashed towards Luffy, grabbed him and threw him towards the legs. Wham* Luffy caught the legs and both started to tumble for a bit until they reached a complete halt. "Alright I caught you!" Luffy smirked not letting the legs go. Goku, Robin, Zoro and Ussop finally caught up with Luffy and saw he stuck the legs behind him and was shouting happily. "Look at me I'm a centaur!" Luffy pranced around. "Luffy, that's vulgar" Robin sighed, "hm? It is" Luffy asked only to receive nods from everyone in unison.
Ussop looked down at the legs that were thrashing around trying to break free. Ussop turned his head to observe his surroundings, "There has to be an upper body in trouble somewhere! Let's give it back to its rightful owner" Ussop said as Zoro started walking ahead of everyone trying to find a way out leaving everyone else. Luffy sighed "You have no imagination Ussop, this guy's like that". Zoro's voice echoed towards them. "Hey! Get over here!" Everyone turned around to see at a far distance Zoro waving his hand from atop a mountain.
They ran towards Zoro and were all gasping to what they were witnessing. They had to walk carefully to him as the ground was surrounded by a thick pool of mud. Zoro looked at Goku, "Looks like we found out how he was cold" Zoro said before turning his attention back in front of him. What everyone saw was another part of the island, but instead of being a molten lava hotspot, it was an island with mountains of ice. It was a polar opposite to the island they were on and it was just across a huge lake that divided them apart. Ussop was ripping his hair in a comical fashion. "Just what the hell is going on?!" Ussop was irate by the scene he is witnessing. Luffy pumped his fist into the air and shouted gleefully, "This island is so awesome!" Luffy said placing his hand to his eyes forming the shape of binoculars. "Is that snow? Cause if it is, then I want to eat some shaved ice!" Luffy said before being slapped down by the hysterical Ussop.
"Are you crazy?! If you go out there you'll just end up cold" Ussop said looking towards his friends trying to sway their idea to push forward. "Look we've been out here for awhile, let's go back and meet up with the rest of the crew and decide what our next course of plan should be" Ussop said looking back at the island. His eyes were drooping and he felt he was going to fall asleep any second but happened next brought his senses into overdrive. He observed the top of the mountains of ice and noticed the clouds were circling around something. Ussop narrowed his eyes and noticed a face with a demonic smile (Ussop's perspective of the smile) staring right back at him.
Ussop fell back on the ground in shock; Goku noticed his friend and rushed over "Are you okay Ussop?" Goku placed a hand on his friend but felt Ussop trembling. "What is that thing?!" Ussop screamed in his mind as he watched the figure arise and something unwrap itself from the figure's body. Ussop concluded it to be wings as the figure flew into the sky leaving its spot, if it were never there. Goku was now shaking his friend back and forth, he called Ussop's name 7 times now and it appeared Ussop's mind was in another place. Goku sighed and raised his hand back *Wack* "OOOOOOOWWWWWW!" Ussop jumped from the pain that coursed the left side of his cheek. Thankfully it didn't bruise but it still hurt like hell!
Robin walked forward and knelt down trying to calm her friend "what is the matter Ussop? it looks as if you had just seen the devil" Robin placed her hand on Ussop's shoulder as he finally snapped back in reality. "To be honest I think I just did see him" Ussop squeaked as he lifted himself up and explained the figure with the wings observing them before flying away. Goku looked back at the mountain "Then we have to stay alert and make sure there aren't more of them when we cross" Goku said with everyone nodding in agreement.
*Brrriiiiinnnng* Brriiiiiinnnnng* everyone turned their attention to Ussop as he looked down to see the extra snail phone he brought was ringing. He glanced up to his friends they all nodded back telling him to answer; he slowly picked up the phone and placed it to his ear. "Hello... Brook?... Wait what?!... What do you mean you were gassed?" Ussop said as everyone crowded him hearing on the conversation. "YoHoHoHoHo yeah that's right, one minute I was sitting on the boat and the next thing I know there was smoke filling in the air and I passed out from inhaling the knock out gas" Brook said. Zoro cocked his head in confusion "Wait Brook... you don't have lungs how did you pass out from breathing it in?" Zoro spoke into the phone. There was silence for about 30 seconds. "Beats me but I just passed out YoHoHoHo!" Brook laughed. *Comical fall from everyone except Brook *
"So what happened to the rest of the crew then? Are they with you?" Luffy asked and Brook replied with a no. "It's just me and a few guys who were attacking me but I defeated them. I'm on a snowy island with..." Brook was interrupted by Robin. "Excuse me Brook but did you say a snowy island?" Brook replied with a yes. Goku closed his eyes and was sensing for Brook's energy signature, soon after he found a faint ki that resembled Brook's. It was going to be hard to triangulate his position, so I.T was out the window, but at least Goku knew Brook was deep within the snowy mountains. "He's there on the other side but I can't get a clear sign to I.T to him" Goku said turning back to his friends. "Then that means the others are somewhere else, if they're all together then that means they can handle themselves" Ussop pointed out. "Then we'll find Brook first and then go for the others, who knows the ship might be on the other side of the island" Luffy said before they all nodded in agreement.
Zoro walked over to a tree that was scorched with flames. He brought his three swords out and sliced the middle part of the tree trunk and cut the middle into two pieces. Zoro brought the two pieces to Ussop's feet. "Here, we'll use this to cross the water; we just need for it to stay together when we cross." Zoro said. Ussop was confused, "why don't we ask Goku to fly us over to the other side?" Ussop said before Zoro shook his head side to side. "We're relying on Goku's abilities too much, sure he's a great asset to the crew but we were doing fine before his arrival." (A.N: Zoro has no grudge against Goku, it may sound like he did but he was just stating the facts) Zoro replied shrugging his shoulders. Ussop wanted to argue but sighed knowing Zoro's mind was already set. Ussop kneeled to the ground and cupped his hand to the thick mud surrounding them. "This will have to do" Ussop said walking towards the two neatly aligned logs and smeared the mud down the crack of the two repeatedly until it formed what looked like a platform.
Ussop flattened it until it was flat and clapped his hands to get the excess dirt off. "Robin can you hand me a piece of twig with a bit of fire on it?" Ussop asked to which Robin nodded and walked away. A few seconds later Robin returned with a medium sized twig with the edge flaming vibrantly. He grabbed the twig and placed the flaming side near the mud surface, fanning the flames back and forth until the mud started turning solid. Ussop smiled at his idea, it was simple but it would allow them to cross the river. With Goku's help Ussop, Zoro and Luffy brought the raft into the river. As everyone got on Zoro took out one of his swords and gently pushed the raft off the island and into the sea. "Careful everyone, though it may be solid if we move too much the mud may crack and split the logs apart" Ussop said nervously hearing cracks underneath him. Everyone moved to a bare minimum while Zoro was gliding the raft safely to the other side.
"Brrr... it's getting colder" Luffy chattered his teeth as he was putting his shirt back on. Robin shivered holding herself to retain some warmth, Zoro was used to the cold but even he could feel his teeth chattering uncontrollably. Ussop held himself to retain warmth as well while Goku looked on at his friends confused "Are you guys alright? You've been shivering like a madman" Goku said with everyone looking at him with surprised looks. "Go... ku... how can y.. yo... you n...not f...f...feel cold?" Luffy chattered through his teeth. Goku shrugged "I've dealt with worse, back in my universe; I had to fight 3 androids down in the arctic, including being submerged under the freezing water for what felt like ages." Goku sighed "When you've gone through what I have, you just ignore it" Goku said with a small chuckle. Suddenly Goku narrowed his eyes and held out his hand. 4 blue ki spheres emerged from the sayian's hand and headed straight into the crew.
They noticed a navy blue aura surround their entire bodies; they had never felt anything so warm in their lives. Robin closed her eyes, relaxed and allowed the warm feeling course her body. A few seconds later the blue aura shortened and just outlined around their bodies, they still felt warm but not it the same way as before, Robin frowned as the warmth suddenly subsided, she opened her eyes and noticed Goku giving them his famous son grin. "I hope that helps, I've given you enough energy allowing your bodies to consume it as heat" Goku said before turning his back away from them. They all stood in silence but in awe, even though Zoro had previously said they relied on his powers too much, they couldn't help but think how lucky they were to have a friend like Goku.
A few minutes later they reached the other side and were relieved the cold air wasn't bothering them as much thanks to Goku. They all thought they would need to officially thank the sayian for his help, but now wasn't the time. The five stepped of the raft and landed into the soft snow that stuck to their shoes. They didn't even take another step before hearing a noise blaring behind them. Everyone except Luffy turned around and noticed something standing at the edge of the opposite island. A dark outline showed it wasn't fully man as he had the body of a man but had four legs. "Is that a centaur?" Zoro asked as he narrowed his eyes and leaned forward to which he was toppled over by Luffy with stars in his eyes. "HEY! DID YOU DECIDE TO JOIN MY CREW?!" Luffy screamed but was tackled down by both Zoro and Ussop. "Don't you know when to shut up?!" Ussop shouted but in a milder tone. "And for goodness sake stop asking every person you meet to join the damn crew!" Zoro shouted as well.
Goku scratched the back of his head and laughed nervously while Robin smiled at their captain's childish behavior. The centaur looked at Luffy and was fuming; the centaur tried to attack Luffy when his guard was down. But thanks to Goku's intense training regime he avoided the surprise attack and defeated him a humiliating fashion. With bloodshot eyes, the centaur raised an object which appeared to be a horn and placed it to his mouth. He blew on the horn again and the noise blared throughout both islands. Everyone covered their ears from the curdling scream the centaur emitted. "Boss! The intruders are on the island! Please finish them off!" The centaur screamed.
"Boss? Wait who is he..." Ussop was stopped by a thud. Shaking in his boots he managed to muster every ounce of courage left in him and turned around to see what was in front of him. The crew lined up together as they saw multiple centaurs surrounding them including a larger centaur that stood behind the rest. "Go... Goku, can you I.T us out yet?" Ussop said trying to keep his panic from emitting into his voice. Goku tightened his muscles and raised them up in defense. "Sorry Ussop, I can sense Brook is very close to us but I can't get a good position on where specifically Brook or the others is located" Goku said readying his stance. Zoro pulled out his swords and readied himself "Then we'll fight our way out if we have to" Zoro said as he raised his katana toward them.
"There's a guy with a katana, so he must be the "samurai" who cut up our friends" one of the centaurs spoke with a menacing voice. Zoro went quite as he realized the centaur was referring to him. The largest centaur of the group steps forward and raised his weapon at him. Boom* the centaur shot a cannonball from his weapon and was headed straight for the crew. Instinctively Robin crossed her arms together and formed two large hands that covered the crew. To their shock the two large hands were obliterated by the cannonball and landed into Luffy's abdomen causing an explosion that pushed them all back into the cold waters.
Goku, Ussop and Zoro emerged back up gasping for air, they turned a full 360 trying to find Robin and Luffy to no avail. Ussop dived back down into the cold waters and found both unconscious, Robin with a bloody cut to the side of her temple and Luffy with his chest scorched from the blast. Ussop brought them up back up as Zoro took Luffy while Ussop took Robin. They were shocked by the amount of force the cannonball had as they didn't expect it to explode, though Goku was fine from the blast it took him by surprise. They looked up to see the centaur smirking at his accomplishment. He raised his hand to signal the other centaurs and instantly they raised their cannons up, pointing it to the submerged crew. "So what will it be samurai! Will you and you're comrades come quietly or face death!" the centaur shouted raising his weapon at them as well. The 5 were backed in a corner, they had no idea where the rest of their crew where. Goku gritted his teeth and tried to keep his balance in the water; the sayian would never back down but if it meant his friends getting hurt, he just didn't know what to do!
The centaur took their silence as a sign of not giving up. "Have it your way..." The centaur spoke. He raised his hand in the air as the rest of the centaurs positioned their weapons at the defenseless crew. Zoro and Ussop couldn't defend as they had their hands tied with keeping both Luffy and Robin over their shoulders since they couldn't swim due to their devil fruit powers. Goku would have to be the leading man to defend but knew he would have to be careful, one slip up and his friends could potentially die. Instead, as the centaurs fired their weapons the gun powder jammed and exploded into their faces, knocking them to the ground coughing and wheezing.
Goku, Zoro and Brook were in awe and confusion. They were glad the weapons jammed but they noticed a man who towered all of them but had a frail body tone. He was wearing a top hat with a crown through it a boa feathered scarf wrapped around his bony neck and was holding an extended cane that soon turned into a hidden blade. "Wait a minute... It's Brook!" Zoro shouted as they all witnessed Brook standing in front of them with a serious expression. "The centaurs were freaked out by the sudden appearance of a standing skeleton but held their composure. They drew out their swords they kept in case their primary weapons failed them. "Who the hell are you?!" The largest centaur shouted.
Brook frowned and raised his katana towards the centaurs. "My appearance is of little importance, but you can call me Brook, the soul king" Brook said with a serious tone. "I'm a skeleton that came back from the land of the dead and was given a second chance at life by the straw hat captain!" Brook tipped his hat covering his eyes. The centaurs were getting annoyed at his ranting and charged at him while Brook stood still. The centaurs were within inches of Brook and raised their swords, poised to strike. Wham* They slammed their swords down but were suddenly stopped as Brook simply placed his sword in front of them. They were shocked beyond belief that a mere skeleton had stopped their attack by simply placing his blade in front of them.
Even though Brook had no muscles to show it, the centaurs knew anger was coursing through Brook's face. "If my friends are so killed by the likes of you I'll never forgive you!" Brook said as he extended his arm forward with enough force to push the centaurs back a couple of feet. Brook jumped into the air with the sun shining behind his back as he appeared to be a shadow figure. "I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF LOSING MY FRIENDS!" Brook screamed as a wave of untapped power was released into his body. He didn't know where it came from but was glad it did come; now, he had the power to show hell to those who would dare hurt his friends.
