Gunkan/Battleship Island - Next Day

I stay behind as Nami goes to get the rest of the crew which was namely Usopp, Zoro and Sanji from Apis' Grandfather's house, but I made sure to be ready as I knew that this was going to be the day of the confrontation with Eric the Whirlwind and would make myself a target of the Marines when they afterwards report about me working with the Strawhat Pirates and being a member of their crew.

I watch as the rest of them arrive and marvel with shock at Ryu and how the fact that dragons existed for real, I hear Zoro mutter about how they might see more things like this in the grand line which I say out loud in reply to him.

"You're not wrong Zoro as I remember hearing tales and stories from my many relatives who had sailed and went through the grand line but I always saw and met them on my birthdays or parties about how there are even more dangerous and gigantic creatures throughout the Grand Line and in other parts of the world much like the Clam Belt had all of those Sea Kings."

The rest of the group look pensive except for Luffy and Usopp as they begin fooling around with Ryu who then tries to chomp on Usopp probably thinking that he is food which I can see why as the old dragon does act senile sometimes due to its age.

I am also glad that the crew are believing my lies as I had used the memories of all of the creatures and monsters of One Piece from the Manga and Anime that I grew up reading and watching along with seeing them to factor in what I had said before about the creatures of this world.

I listen as Nami explains about how the marines had arrived at the island and are after Ryu.

I nod at this as I know how most of the things that play out in this entire story arc will happen but I know that I will have to change a few things that bugged me in this arc but I shrug the thought off for now as Nami explains how they may be able to help Apis and Ryu with Usopp being exasperated at how they are agreeing to all of this with the fact that the marines may cause problems for them as I whisper in his ear standing next to him.

"You may just have to accept what is happening and move on as I know that you know how stubborn Luffy is when he has his sights or mind set on something so it's best to just try and do the best that you can to survive and get through whatever wacky adventure that Luffy will drag us all into."

Usopp nods at this in slight defeat as we all go outside to make the cart needed for Ryu as Luffy, Zoro and Sanji knock down the wood and lumber for the making the cart as I and Usopp work together to make the cart which is quickly built up between us while we instruct the rest of the crew carefully on what to do and how to do it as they help us with the building.

I had remembered how the cart was in the anime and with some ideas that I thought that may need to be used I had made a sort of steering wheel/reins and makeshift brakes made from the remaining lumber and some of my tools and spare parts from my own inventions, when they asked why I explained "We may end up getting separated while on land if we are going as fast as we may go on this cart when going down the any of the hills pathways to where we need to go then we may need to be able to stop and if there is a problem in the future any of us who can drive this can stop and help the others if we need to stop or change direction encase of marine interference."

The others seemed to agree on this as Luffy looks excited at the chance to maybe drive the cart but I shoot that idea down fast as I say to him "No Luffy you cannot drive as I know that you would probably crash us into a wall or a tree and therefore destroy the cart when you are distracted or too excited to notice so it will be either Nami, Usopp or I that will drive for now."

Luffy looks disappointed but cheers up as I say "But you do get to beat up and fight some other marines", the straw hat wearing pirate whoops in cheerfulness at getting to fight some marines.

Nami explains how they will escape and head to the bottom of the island where the part of it resembles Usopp's nose as Luffy jokingly points this out with a laugh but Usopp appears to ignore it and asks for Zoro to help him as I watch all of this happen while double checking that the cart is secure and nod at the work done on it as Nami makes Zoro go with Usopp to get to the ship.

I stop Usopp and Zoro before they leave and say to them "Make sure to check that the rooms are not looted as I wouldn't put it past the Marines to have searched the ship and take any money or treasure."

I say this while looking at Nami as she listens to me as her expression turns to murderous/furious at the idea of Marines looting her things as she shouts at them to do what I said with Usopp looking scared while Zoro looking very annoyed but both nodded and followed their orders as I can guess that Zoro wouldn't want to have his debt increased again if he complained and Usopp not wanting to get whacked by Nami.

A Short Time Later

I and the rest of us wait as Nami shouts out that she can see the Going Merry sailing towards their position while Apis appears to be listening to a seagull speak to her as Apis panics saying "There are Marines coming up the mountain", Nami comments how the Marines had arrived earlier than she expected as Apis tries to defend Ryu with her body from the rifles of the Marines shouting out "Leave Grandpa Ryu alone".

I watch as Ryu tries to shield Apis from the marines with his wing tip as Nami tries to talk sense into Apis about getting shot if she tries to stand in front of Ryu but she does not listen as she runs out of Nami's arms and around Ryu's wings and shouts out "NO" in panic and fear as the Marines open fire but as I am about to save Apis Luffy jumps in while pushing Apis back into Nami's arms and takes the bullets and absorbs their impact while his rubber body stretches outwards taking the bullets with them and sending them back at the marines shouting "NO GOOD", while the bullets just miss the Marines by an inch.

The marines are stunned at this as I watch them mutter to each other in fear at what has just happened as Eric speaks out curious "So you ate a Devil Fruit and have its ability?", Luffy nods as he says that he is a Rubberman which Eric shouts out beside the annoyed higher ranking officer Marine who I vaguely remember was Lieutenant Commander Hardy to use swords to attack Luffy saying that they will cut through rubber.

Nami gets Sanji to deal with them along with Luffy as I watch Eric as I know that he will try and join the fight soon which he does so as he uses his powers as a demonstration to cut a staggering but standing marine injuring him even further as the marine collapses from the supposed pain and injury.

He speaks saying "I am Eric the Whirlwind, a mercenary employed by Nelson Royal and have no real interest dealing with any riffraff like you two as I only have interest in the Sennenryu that you seem to have."

He speaks about how he will use the powers of his Devil Fruit, the Kama-Kama/Sickle-Sickle Fruit which Luffy and Sanji joke about calling Eric an Okama which the man seems to get really mad about as he threatens them about angering him as he begins attacking as he shouts "Kama Kama: Tsumujikaze/Sickle Sickle: Whirlwind" I react as the blades of wind come at the two of them as I quickly un-strapped my shield and shouted back using "Aura Shield: Front Barricade" my shield glows yellow for second and aura energy spreads out forming a flat but somewhat see through shield of energy with my shield in the center of it as the attack slams into it making a slight mark of an X over the energy shield.

I drop the power from the shield as the energy fades away leaving my shield in its normal or regular state as Luffy looks amazed at what I just did while I check that if my shield is damaged or not and it isn't to my delight as my powers must have made the shield more resilient against attacks so that it would not be damaged or dented from strong devil fruit attacks.

I now see that Eric is a little stunned at how I had dealt with his attack as I play it cool and look at him with disdain as I said "Is that all you got Gay-boy", He seems to snap out of shock and is now really looking mad at my insult and attitude while Luffy laughs and so does the other two pirates while I see Apis looking confused but just shrugs and sits with Ryu holding on to him for comfort from what I can see and tell.

I listen to Eric as he seems to be trying to keep calm and cool as he asks "My attack is supposed to be as strong as a Meito/Named Blade but you were able to defend against it, how where you able to do so as I can only guess that you are also a Devil Fruit user."

I look at him and shrug simply saying "I'm just an Aura-man with strong powers over my Devil Fruit."

I hear as Nami shouts out that Usopp and Zoro have the ship in place as we all mostly ignore Eric who looks to be trying another attack but I don't let him as I charge up another attack in response "Aura Sphere: Marble Mayhem" my attack shoots out small balls of yellow aura energy that fly from my hands and hit where Eric is before he can unleash his own attack causing a number of powerful explosions that when the smoke clears shows that Eric appears to be slightly dazed and singed from the mini demolition I caused as he now is blown backwards and away from where the carts path directon was, but this gives us all the time we need to all get on the cart and get going.

With a kick on the wall from Sanji the cart shoots forward as I take the steering with us all going down the path with great speed and acceleration while Nami and I direct Luffy on what boulder or obstruction that is in our way to smash with his Gum Gum: Pistol or Gum Gum: Gatling Gun or Sanji to take out any flying debris with his kicks.

I call up to Luffy as we are nearing a tree and said to him over the noise of the rumbling of rocks and the cart "Luffy get down otherwise your head will be caught by a tree from where you are and I don't think you want that to happen", Luffy nods as he quickly makes his way down and next to Apis grinning in fun at the ride on the cart which Apis can't seem to ignore the cheerful feeling coming from Luffy and begins shouting in joy and thrill of the ride as I quickly watch them and make sure that they are secure and okay.

I turn back to look at the path and see that we are nearly there and reaching the cliff that looks like Usopp's nose, we all are soon flying in the air on the cart as we are about to crash into one of the Marine ships mast and sail but knowing that I am in the front does not make me happy as I may harm myself if the cart crashes into the masts top, I quickly place my hand on my Midnight Katana and shout my attack as do it "Ittoryu Iai: Subayaku Surasshu/One Sword Style Draw and Re-sheath Technique: Quick Slash", my attack sliced the masts top in half leaving enough room for the cart to sail over but I see that the cut-off top of the mast has now fallen down and damaged the boats other sails and parts of the ship.

We crash and ride the water over the Going Merry and then slow down to a stop a little ways away from the small pirate ship but I take out some long wooden pieces left over from the work building the cart/raft that I had hidden in between the gaps of the logs for the cart and now acts as makeshift paddles and hand them to Nami and Sanji saying "I had a feeling we would need to paddle this raft over to the ship if we landed on/in the water."

They both nod and begin paddling as I see Luffy is still laughing along with Apis as we reach the ship and climb on while we set up ropes and secure lines for Ryu's transport and strap it to the stern of the ship as the cart/raft floats with Ryu asleep on it, we all then make sure to leave quickly while to my eyes the Marines seem to be scrambling to repair the ship and trying to catch up to us.

We make our escape quickly with a lucky wind coming our way helping our get away even more as the Marines are soon far away from where we are and after making sure that we are not going to be surprised by them we take a break and sigh in relief over getting away pretty much unscathed.

Later on

I look over and around my room on the ship to make sure that my stuff had not been looted or stolen and see that it has not as I can guess that the Marines could not get in as I had made and fixed up a tough lock for my door but did not know if they would try and break the door down trying to get in.

I walk out to the deck and lock the door and watch as Apis and Sanji walk towards the stern of the ship to see Ryu and give him the hot food that they probably both had made together as I snicker as Apis stomps on Usopp's foot for the rude comment of how Apis would need help cooking which makes me annoyed but I push the feeling away as I think that the foot stomp is enough punishment for today.

I shake my head in exasperation as Luffy does his stupid mistake of taking the hot pot of cooked rice and food from Apis without protection from the heat of the pot but I simply shrug as I reach the stern and help Apis get down to Ryu safely and help clean the mess up with a gentle pulse of Yellow and Green Aura that sweeps away the mess while slightly calming down the pain in the head of Ryu from any distress.

I watch with a chuckle as Luffy carefully picks up the pot and what is left of the food inside of it using his sandals as oven mitts, Apis speaks to Luffy as said Straw Hat kid looks curious as Apis said "Ryu is saying that...Lost island's Dragon Nest is east of Gunkan/Warship Island."

Luffy cheers and grins saying to an excited Apis "So that's where Lost Island is?", Apis replies back "Grandpa Ryu just remembered."

I smile as Luffy shouts out the the rest of the crew about how and where Lost Island could be as everyone prepares to set off with Nami running to probably get her maps and navigation tools by my reckoning.

I watch all of this as Apis and I get back onto the ship with me helping to set sail as I just hear Luffy answer back to Sanji who tells Luffy to "Eat what is left of the food and not waste any of it," with Luffy replying "Yeah I will."

After some time sailing in the direction needed I watch with Luffy as we come up to a place that seems slightly distorted as I feel that I need some advice as I call on Isis with my eyes going Indigo coloured "Isis, hello are you there?", I wait for a moment as I soon get a reply "Hello David or is it Jack now?"

I roll my eyes as I can hear her amusement through the mind link but speak to her again "Just David is fine for now but I wanted your opinion on what I and Luffy are seeing as I can guess that this is some sort of portal or gateway of some kind," I can hear that Isis is thinking for a moment as she makes a thinking sound of 'Hmm' as she replies to my question.

"I think that your guess may be correct as this world has some fluctuations in portals that lead to different but similar realities, but I would not worry as I know of some of these portals that lead to places you may know of like the World that Toriko resides in for the moment."

I am surprised at this until I suddenly remember reading in one of the fact books of One Piece of a few islands that are supposed to be the crossing gate realities between both of those worlds and some others that have been linked to the One Piece World.

I nod as I say to Isis "Thank's for the help and also thank you for all of the help you gave me in the past, as I would not be as strong or as skilled as I was without your help with sword training and fighting along with teaching the subjects needed for me to be able to make all of my inventions."

I can just picture Isis' smiling in my head as she says back "Your Welcome David and I enjoyed teaching you and helping you when you needed it."

I smile as Isis leaves from the mind link and I return my focus on the portal which it appears we have just went through and arrived with fog and strange weather, along with the massive storm that seems to plague this reality.

I rush to help Zoro and Sanji as we unfasten the ropes and make sure that the sails do not rip or break up along with the mast but I then see that Apis is about to fall and crash into the side of the deck due to the rocking of the ship.

I quickly Aura Port to where Apis will crash to and catch her asking "You okay Apis?" she nods and then jumps out of my arms and runs to where the stern and raft for Ryu is as Apis tries to shout comforting words to Ryu about the storm but then I save Apis from getting hit by a snapped off rope that is keeping the raft attached to the ship but again Apis tries to stop the ropes from losing the line to the raft but in turn gets robe burn from the ropes going right through her grip and harming her.

I and Zoro who helps Apis with her rope, try to keep them from getting loose as Apis argues with Ryu who seems to act like be giving up but I quickly use an Aura Rope just as Luffy uses a Gum Gum: Lasso to each hold onto one of the back wheels with me wincing as I feel the sea water rub against my Aura Rope weakening it slightly as it fluctuates in appearance.

I grit my teeth as I put more power into my Aura Rope, I hear as Usopp yelling about light ahead of us as I remember what it is while Nami begins shouting out orders to follow the direction to the light as they do so while Zoro helps out after tying one of the snapped ropes to the sterns banister and help the rest of the crew.

Unknown Island - A Few Moments Later

We dock at the island that Nami had said was protected by the storm but is slap bang in the middle of the eye of said storm, I look around as the rest of the crew does so too while Sanji comments "I wonder how long it's been since anyone lived on this island?"

He continues speaking "Because it looks like a jungle now with all of the trees and over grown plants around here."

I look at Apis as she tries to get Ryu to listen to her but he appears to be sleeping as I walk up near to her and say aloud "It be best that we look around and search for clues as to where the Dragon's Nest is", Nami nods and is about to give out orders but Luffy speaks out first "Hey look at the summit there, I bet that if we climb to the top then we can see the whole island and find the nest quicker."

Apis nods and Nami looks to be put out at getting over turned by Luffy but I shrug and mutter to her "He is the captain no matter how much of a baka he is", we all make our way up to the summit of the hill while pushing and pulling the cart with Ryu on it up with us as we come upon a ruined, crumbling and very old town.

We move through it as I watch and listen to Apis as she picks up what looks to be an old fashioned spinning top toy with a Sennenryu design on it as Apis says "I wonder if the Sennenryu and human children of this island used to play together?"

I hear and see a a small flock of birds that look to be Peregrine Falcons or Sparrow Hawks but have different coloured feathers and plumage than normal as they have Persian Green top body feathers and black feathers along the back of the wings and edge of their tails along the wings edge with their under body and plumage is all white and the head of the birds had a pink or red broken strip like plumage behind their eyes branching outwards from the eyelids of the birds.

I can guess that is how males or females are identified with the pink being female and red being male, Apis speaks to Nami with the bird perched one her shoulder as I hear also of what the girl is saying "This bird here told me that there is a temple at the top of the hill/mountain with a dragon mark on it, lets go."

Apis runs ahead to reach the top as I can guess that she wants to reach the temple first and find out if their is a clue to the Dragon's nest at all.

We reach the top and with a final shove forward the cart is on flat ground of the top steps of the temple which looks to be a bit of a mess, I watch as the bird flies away with Apis shouting out gratitude for the help which the bird screeches back a reply of what was probably a 'your welcome', I smile as the view from where we are is great to look at but I turn around as Apis seems to be puzzled at the picture designed on the large door for the temple as does the rest of the group.

I see that Apis' dragon tooth/claw pendant appears to be the key to the door with the slot like opening where it may fit as she walks up to it while the others mutter in apprehension but Apis turns around disappointed as she says sadly "I can't reach the keyhole", I see Luffy walk up and take the pendant from Apis and is about to use it to open the door himself when I have a sudden memory jolt as I panic saying to Luffy in warning "Wait Luffy don't do it" but it is too late as the ground beneath us begins to fall apart and crumble with the stone slabs collapsing down the deep hole as we go along with it into the darkness of the hole with us all shouting in panic and fear.

That is it for the moment for this chapter and I will begin doing the next chapter of the HP Multi Crossover fic soon and once that is done I will work on the next chapter for this fic.

PLEASE REVIEW AND COMMENT ON MY WORK WITH THIS FIC AND I WOULD LIKE TO THANK InsaneScriptist for his/hers help with this fic and the corrections to it.
