a/n - new chapter of the weeks, read it and that its.
Spear of Elbaf, Sickness and Drum.
"" Behold the mightiest spear of we Giants of Elbafs…. HAKOKU! "" shout the giants as their launch their attack.
We got thrown out from the goldfish inside, the fish now has a huge hole in the stomach, the giants attacks even splits the seas for a moment. After we sailed some distance and the sea is calm, Ussop and Luffy started to sing songs of the Giants of Elbaf as their sign of respect, Sanji goes into the kitchen probably to make some snacks, Nami and Vivi is sitting at the main mast to catch breath from the crazy just happens, Zoro started to trains at the back of the ships.
I took myself up on the crow nest, I need to relax alone while listening to some music, and it's been a while since I touched my phone. Even if I have my phone but there is no internet, so it pretty much just an mp4 player, lucky me that I'm the type that save all songs on my phone if not this phone pretty much a fancy brick. Listening to one of my favorite song I began on training my ability, the songs help me focused on creating the new type of armor that I think of.
So far I only create something that possibly exists in this world, but now I want to create something outside of this world norm, armor with stats. Like in the game, if you equip with certain armor, you'll get additional stats that add to your base stats, I don't know how to translate stats to a real life but first I just make armor that add more strength to my body.
I know that normally armor grant more defense stats, but I only can create what is considered armor so gauntlet with additional stats will do just fine. First I create a generic metal gauntlet, and then tries to confirm how much I can lift before I really have to try, then I create a gauntlet make from some kind of beast, the design is similar to the Monster hunter armor. When I try the weight test there is a slight different of strength but it's not enough for me to be happy, but I proved that it can be done just need more fine tune.
Lastly I need to test full body armor, first I create normal leather armor for all of my body and its worked fine, and there is no heavy feeling that usually occurs from overusing the abilities. Next is ordinary full iron armor, I felt bit of the pressure but the armor is materialize so I can say, it is a success. Lastly I change to full stats plus armor.
Then it's happen, I fall to the floor of the crow nest, the armor is disappearing and I cannot move an inch. It seems the full stats armor is really drain my stamina, even it just 3 second it felt like I had a 24 hour sprint race.
After 30 minute I finally can sit myself up, my body is still feel like I on double or triple gravity planets, heavy as its can get. I need to thinks of something or I will never be able to achieve the full body armor like this, at Alabasta there will be full of Devil fruits user and I need to be prepared. my taught suddenly interrupted by the screaming Vivi, Nami suddenly fall down and have high body temperature, the crew take Nami inside and left Zoro to watch the ship directions, I'm right now is up on the crow nest and helpless to do anything, so I just let the crew to discuss what to do.
If everything is according to the original story, Vivi herself will ask us to find a doctor for Nami and there is no need for me to put my hands on it. After several minutes Nami came out from her room and check the direction, she berates Zoro for looking at the cloud and asked him to change the course, and Nami is right as the course we sailed under Zoro supervision earlier suddenly formed a huge cyclone that would swallowed us if we haven't change the course.
For hours I stuck at the crow nest being not be able to move and finally I manages to stand up and being on a look out, the crew has decide to searches for an island or any ship that we can ask for doctors but so far the oceans is empty. Nami fever is spiking by the hour and we have nothing to offers, Luffy is shaken at the thought of Nami dying and Sanji just being annoying all around with his constant melodramatic speech. Not that I don't understand, just tone it a little.
In the dawn of the next day the weather turn cold, and by the sunrise snow start to drop, it's sign that we close to Drum kingdom. Since it snowing I stay at the top of crow nest and keep watch on the horizon, I'm afraid of missing the Drum kingdom and thus altered the timeline for the worse. After hours of looking I finally saw one of what I'm looking for, a Jester on the water.
"Hey guys, there is a jester on a water " I alerted the other guys.
"this is no time for rhyme Hikaru! " said Ussop while looking at where I'm pointing.
"what! it really there! " Shocked Ussop.
Merry stop directly in front of the jester and both Luffy and Ussop silently watch as the jester stand still on the water, the jester finally speak up and ask us how the weather is, Ussop answer the obvious question and ask him how is he standing on water. Before he can answer, a whole ship sprang up from the oceans, the jester is merely standing on top of submerge ship this whole time, what a shock.
With their element of surprise, we got boarded by the Tin Plate Pirate. The soldier of tin plate pirate put us on gun point and threathen us not to move, even Sanji who just got out from Nami room got caught. Then came a big healty man with meat on knife in his arm, he proclaim himself as Tin can King Wapol, he asked us if we have any eternal log pose or direction to the Drum Kingdom. Sanji told him that we have no idea where is Drum Kingdom and never even heard of it, Luffy then proceed to politely asked Wapol to leave.
Wapol eat his meat and knife, he then tell us to give our treasure and ship is we have nothing to offer, he then proceed to take a bite at Merry deck wall, his mouth became big and he literally took a bite and eat Merry's wood. Seeing his ship get eaten of course anger Luffy and start to attacking the soldier, Zoro and Sanji also joins the fun after Luffy and proceed to beat the invader. I just stays at the crow nest and watch the rest unfold, with the level of the soldier it doesn't take ten minutes before all of them dot their ass handed o them, Luffy then bazooka Wapol off from our ship and send him flying to the air.
The afro and the jester shocked at the fact Wapol got send flying and rushed to save their king, before leaving they manage to leave the cliché remember us speech. With Tin Plate pirate gone we resume to search for land, with this encounter I can guess that Drum is nearby. Ussop start to clean up the mess that Wapol left behind, he is grumpy about not being able to stock more woods for repair job from last island we stop, when he is like that it's better not to get near him or you get lectured about how is it bad to destroy the ship from kaya.
The night came and the crew is huddle up in Nami's room, I as usual stayed to keep look out for island. I think somehow my role in this crew has been chosen, the look out. I mean I don't hate it, in fact I love the alone time for being a look out, sometimes you just need to be alone to recharge yourself. For the role of look out I create the tactical mask with optical attachment, I can zoom in with ease and it have a night vision perfect for night watch, creating this mask is easy but getting the attachment to works is the hard part. I think the trick is not to think of it as attachment but as a part of the mask.
Morning came and I relieved of night duty, if my memory serves me right we should arrive at Drum Kingdom by today, I took this chance to get some rest in preparation of what is to come. I woke up from the gunshot sound, it seems I miss my chance to prevent Vivi getting shoot at but everything is worked out like it supposed to. When I step out from the cabin warp up in blanket, I see Luffy and Vivi is head down kneeling to the towns people on upside of the riverbank.
"Is that is the sick crewmate that you talk about? " said large man in green uniform after seeing me walk out from the cabin all wrap up in blanket.
" No sir, I'm just crewmate that got woken up from the gunshot, the sick one is a young girl, red head and real pretty too… can u help us? " I asked the leader of the group.
"Fine, we'll lead you to our town, follow me…. but I must warned you there is only one doctor in this island and she is troublesome. " said the Leader.
All of us except Zoro decide to go to the town, Zoro said he will watch the ship and do some training and swimming. On the way to the town the leader told us that this country currently doesn't have a name and the people that welcoming us on the river bank is just a villager not a soldier, which is why they're not used to in handling weapon.
We brought Nami inside of Dalton's home, he is the guard leader on this presently nameless country. We finally told about Nami and why we really need doctor a.s.a.p., but Dolton said there is really one doctor in this island and her name is Dr. Kureha, she live in the castle on top of mountain in middle of the island and she cannot be contacted and only come down to treat patient whenever she want, and she'll take whatever she want for payment.
Hearing that the doctor is up at the mountain Luffy can no longer wait and ask for Nami approval to bring her hiking to the doctor, despite everyone objection Nami agreed and thus set Luffy plan in motion. Ussop tie Nami to Luffy back as extra support and remind Luffy not to drop her even once, Sanji nominate himself as the person to escort Nami with Luffy, after little preparation they're finally began the journey to the top of mountain, it will be though but I know they'll arrived there.
After Luffy, Sanji and Nami left we stood outside of Dalton house and watch the direction where Luffy run off to, Dalton invite us to warm up inside of his house but Vivi decline said that she want to stay for little while, and so we stayed outside. Dalton impressed by Vivi character decide to joins us while telling the reasons of the nameless country, just few months ago this country is under pirate attack, and with no more than five people they manage to destroyed the whole country.
Dalton also said maybe the pirate attacks is blessing in disguise, as this country formerly named Drum Kingdom is under a tyrannical ruler King Wapol, and people is suffering under his rule, the pirate attacks make him turn tail and run only care for his safety and abandon his people, truly despicable.
Hearing Wapol name make Ussop and Vivi shocked, Ussop tell Dalton that we encounter Wapol on our way here yesterday, he proclaim himself as pirate and asking us about Drum Kingdom. Dalton now concern about this revelation, Wapol is in this island vicinity and can probably succeed to come back to this island.
The Hiking bear lady come by to meet with Dalton as we chatting, she come to tell Dalton that Dr. Kureha now is in neighboring village. Dalton apologized to us, he thought Dr. Kureha will not come down to town in nearest time because she just come down yesterday, he offer us a ride on his sled to next village to meet with Dr. Kureha. With Dalton sled we arrive at Cocoa Weed village just in 15 minute, but Dr. Kureha is already done with her patient and left for other village, Gyasta.
Suddenly a village patrolman came rushing in and report about the incident at the port, Wapol is back and his men is attacking the guard posted there. Hearing this Dalton asked on Wapol whereabouts and immediately rushing to there, he is determined to not let Wapol reinstated himself as king. Vivi and Ussop decide that we should go to Gyasta Village ourselves to meet Dr. Kureha, but I decline on following them and told them that I will be helping Dalton with his Wapol problem.
After watch Vivi and Ussop leave with Dalton sled, I create my leg armor with additional speed stats, and its worked like a charm, I manage to run as fast as a horse and without much strain on my leg. I wonder if it has anything to do with last time failure.
When I arrived at he place where Dalton is, I saw that Dalton is confronting Wapol and how he is not suited to be King, and Wapol is not happy that his homecoming is being spoiled by Dalton order his hen to execute him. With Wapol order the soldier began aiming their weapon at Dalton, Dalton then show his Bison devil fruit greatness by easily dodge the shot and instantly knock down the soldier. Afro and Jester is not impressed and look down on Dalton, the Jester then draw his bow and took aim at the villager behind Dalton, of course Dalton tries to shield villager with his body and sacrifice himself, but before the arrow hit him I slip in front of Dalton with speed boots and block the arrow with Vibranium armor, even if I say armor, it's more like Captain America shield strapped at my chest like an armor chest piece.
I don't know if would worked if I created normal armor with vibranium properties would work on the first tries, but if it something I know it can be recreated, so make do the shield. Dalton is shocked at my sudden appearance and asks if I'm hurt, I told him that I'm okay and he can resume his fight, I will cover any stray arrow for him. Jester is obviously not happy at my remark and fire more arrows in multiple directions, but of course I manage to stop all of them with speed boots and Vibranium armor.
Dalton start attacking the minister duo after seeing that I can handle the arrow, he first tries to attack the jester but Afro is guarding jester and blocking his path. Dalton and Afro almost have he same strength level, but Dalton fruit gave him better speed and gaining more advantage, Seeing his partner got cornered by Dalton, the jester tries to shoot his arrow but I will not let them as when he draw his bow I will rush at his direction and fall back when he aiming back at me making him focus at me. After few rushes the jester decides that I probably will not commit to attack him and ignore me entirely and take aim at Dalton that fighting Afro.
That's prove to be his mistake as I impact him with my gauntlet and him flying toward Afro that also coincidently got send flying by Dalton. Wapol is not happy that his best two men got their ass kicked and tries to show us his ultimate power that he called Chew house, but it short lived as avalanche hit the town and buries us all in snow, the last thing I saw before pass out is white.
ps - i felt like i'm bad at communicating with people from the net.
