Sorry for the wait everyone! My computer had this nasty virus, so it took a little longer than I had expected to get this next chapter up. I hope it's worth the wait!
Also, to Kisdota: Yes, I am aware some of the dialogue is wrong, but the thing is if I include everything every world is gonna be like 40 chapters at the rate I'm writing them, so I kinda shortened it.

Just then, a person dove from the top of the moat and faced the giant dog.
"Get behind me!" He said as he brought out a giant sword and slashed away at the three-headed creature. It was a direct hit, causing the creature to fall to the ground.
"We-we're saved!" Called out Nami.
"Thanks a lot for that." Said Usopp, still gathering his breath. "But who are you?"
The man turned around. "I'm looking for my friends." He said. "My name's Leon."

"Thanks for that! You really saved us there!" Said Usopp to Leon, who had just arrived and seemingly defeated the giant cerberus like creature. They were now walking throughout the forest, trying to find their way.
"So, you're here looking for your friends?" Asked Nami.
"Well, not really." Said Leon. "We all got separated, and then I just woke up here. Hopefully some of my friends landed here too." He then turned to Usopp, Chopper, and Nami. "You guys wouldn't happen to know anyone named Sora, Riku, and Kairi, would you?"
"Hey! We know someone named Sora!" Said Usopp. "Come to think of it, when we found him he didn't have any idea where he was either!"
"Really?!" Said Leon. He'd only asked to just be sure, he'd never actually expected anyone but him to be here. "What about Riku or Kairi?" They shook their heads no. "Oh, I see..." He said. "Guess I was asking for too much there."
Just then Usopp noticed something. "Hey, this guy doesn't have a shadow either!" He pointed to Leon's feet, were everyone then noticed his lack of a shadow.
"Huh?" Said Leon, looking surprised himself. "When did this happen?!"
"You must of had it stolen from you while you where sleeping." Said Nami. "We met someone else who was like that..."
Suddenly, they all heard a sharp growling noise coming from behind them. They turned to see the cerberus like dog, standing back up, looking angrier than ever straight at them.
"I-it's getting back up!" Yelled Usopp in horror.
"That's impossible! I hit it as hard as I could!" Said Leon in disbelief. The dog then began to lunge right towards them agaon.
"For now, let's just focus on getting out of here!" Said Nami, as they all resumed running away from the creature.
"Look, I see some stairs!" Said Leon, pointing to some nearby stairs. They quickly dashed up them, as the dog soon followed them. However, when it reached the top, Leon, Nami, Usopp, and Chopper where nowhere in sight. They had taken refuge in a nearby tree.
"Hopefully he won't find us up here." Whispered Leon.
"But now we're stuck in this huge forest." Said Usopp. "We still have no idea where we are."
"Well, that's a problem, isn't it?" Said an unfamiliar voice from behind them. They all turned to see a short man with clammy skin with stiches all over him, dressed in black and hanging from a tree.
"GYAAA! WHO ARE YOU?!" Screamed Chopper.
"I am called Hildon." He responded. "I just happened to be out here when I couldn't help notice you four. Night is about to come over these woods, it's going to get dangerous out here. Would you like me to escort you to the mansion?"
"Mansion?" Asked Leon.
"Yes." Said Hildon. "Dr. Hogback-sama's mansion."
Suddenly Chopper perked up. "D-did you say Dr. Hogback?!"

"Well, thanks for saving us back there." Said Usopp, as they were all now in a carraige being pulled by two creepy looking horses.
"No, it's no trouble at all." Said Hildon.
"So, you guys said you met Sora? Were is he?" Asked Leon to Nami, anxious to find out about Sora.
"He's with Luffy and the others back at the ship." Said Nami. "Hopefully, thye should be coming to get us..."
"Well, if you're waiting for your friends, the best place to be is at the mansion." Said Hildon.
"Plus," Said Chopper excitedly. "We can meet Dr. Hogback!"
"Is he really that famous?" Asked Usopp.
"Yeah! Among doctors, there's no one who hasn't heard about him! He's a worldwide famous surgeon who's saved as many people as there are stars in the sky! He's gained a lot of social status, and physicians from all over the world have gathered to honor him! But then one day, he suddenly vanished into thin air! This must be where he's been all this time!"
"That is correct. He has hidden himself here to do research that surpasses human intellect!" Said Hildon.
"Well, that's great and all, but I'd like to get back to the ship." Said Leon. "I want to meet up with Sora."
"I'd have to agree with you." Said Nami. "This whole place is just too creepy."
"But, then we won't get to meet Dr. Hogback!" Pleaded Chopper.
Hildon then chuckled. "If that's what you want, I'll convey it to the driver." With that, he left the carriage, and soon the cart began to go backwards. After ten minutes or so, the cart came to a stop.
"Are we there?" Asked Usopp, as he looked outside of the carriage. What he saw horrified. "This...we're in the middle of a cemetery!" He exclaimed as he looked at the graves around him.
"Hey, there's no one driving!" Said Nami as she noticed the lack of horses. "Hildon's gone too!"
"You mean we're out here all by ourselves?" Said Chopper in a scared voice.
Just then they heard a cracking sound. "W-what was that?!" Asked Usopp.
"Look! Over there!" Said Leon, pointing to a group of tombstones, were hands were popping up from the ground.
"You've got to be kidding me..." Said Nami.
"ZOMBIES!" Called out Usopp and Chopper.
"And Heartless too!" Said Leon, noticing the Heartless that had grouped with the emerging shadows.
"They're coming towards us!" Yelled Usopp as the zombies approached.
"Oh, why did it have to be like this?" Said Nami.
"Looks like the only we out is to fight our way through." Said Leon, who jumped out of the carraige and pulled out his gunblade. He slashed at one of the zombies, chopping it's head off. "That's one down."
Another Zombie picked the head up. "Hey, you dropped this." It said, holding the head to the beheaded zombie.
"Oh, thanks." Said the Zombie as he put his head back on.
"w-WHAT?!" Said Nami in disbelief.
"Alright! I know zombies' weakness!" Said Usopp, pulling out his slingshot. "HISSATSU KAEN BOSHI!" He flung a ball towards the zombies and heartless, exploding as it made contact, burning some.
"Whoa, that was actually pretty effective..." Said Usopp under his breath.
"Hey, that guy's trying to burn us!" Said one zombie. They all then charged towards them.
"Gya! This is is bad!" Said Nami.
"We got no choice than to run again...!" Said Leon as they all ran from the cemetery back into the forest.

"Looks like they stopped chasing us for now." Said Leon in between pants. They were standing in front of a gate, that led to a gigantic looking mansion.
"I knew this island was nothing but trouble," Said Nami.
"Well, we're here anyway." Said Usopp.
"I can finally meet Dr. Hogback!" Said Chopper.
"I can't imagine a decent person who lives on this island..." Said Nami as they walked towards the mansion.

"Excuse me? Is anyone here?" Called out Chopper as they entered the mansion, looking dark from the inside, with all sorts of corridors.
"Hey, I see a light over there." Said Leon. "It's hanging above that old well..." Suddenly, from the well emerged a young woman wearing a strapless dress with a fancy scarf around her neck. Like the other people they had met, she also had stitches all over her body. She was carrying a large stack of plates. "Welcome." She said
"GYAAAAA!" Called out Chopper, Nami, and Usopp.
"Why are these people screaming at everything..." Though Leon.
Suddenly, she started throwing the plates at them, counting off one every time she threw them. "Now she's throwing plates!" Exclaimed Nami.
"Hey! Cindry-chan! I thought I told you to stop that!" Called out another voice, as it's owner walked around the corner. It was a man with a fishnet vest with purple pants and gloves, who was wearing sunglasses and had a beak like nose, with a violet feathery cape. "Sorry about that! This woman hates plates since the day she tried to test the love of a man who proposed to her by smashing his valued plates. She rejected him, and now plates carry a tragic memory for her."
"W-who are you?" Asked Leon, a bit taken aback the mans appearance.
"Oh, I believe I've missed my introduction!" Said the man. "I am none other than the world's famous Dr. Hogback! Fosfosfosfos!" He said, laughing a bit maniacally.

"Alright, guys, are you ready!" Said Luffy, who was back on the ship with Sora and the rest of the Straw Hat pirate members. "We've gotta go back and get Nami, Usopp, and Chopper!"
"Right!" Said Sora, who grabbed his keyblade. "And, I've gotta find out who's behind all the heartless being here!"
"I'm ready when you guys are." Said Zoro.
"Yosh! Let's go rescue Nami-swan!" Said Sanji.
"Then LET'S GO!" Said Luffy.
