Hey guys! So I know this is a bit sudden, but after this- it's the final chapter. I'm sorry if the climax seemed rushed or short-lived but after this, the next chapter's going to be the story's conclusion. But hey, when one door closes, another one opens. So please enjoy this! Again, not the final chapter, just next to last chapter.
Disclaimer: I don't own One Piece or Gintama
In no time, the white dog went to his master; it stopped at her body, causing Katsura to be thrown off him. Okita glared heavily at the man on the ground; resisting the urge to draw his sword, he simply decided to hand Kagura to Elizabeth. "Oi doggy; take China to the biggest ship over there and get her doctor. Do it, or I'll sell you to a Chinese meat plant." The dog merely growled; Sougo ignored this and turned to Umibozu. "Hey baldy, you going with her?"
"No; I'm too pissed off to rest. The same with you, isn't it?" Umbozu smirked at all the eager marines that were ready to die.
"Of course." Sougo still wanted to kill that Abuto-bastard. "Shoo doggy; take care not to drop my China."
By the time Katsura came too, he called. "ELIZABETH! WATCH LEADER!" He turned to Sougo, who refused to face him. "Rest assured, Okita-dono…Leader will be perfectly safe with Elizabeth."
"Katsura…shut up and fight." That was all that was needed to be said.
Gintoki vs. Takasugi
"What do you think, Takasugi? You still want to do this?" Gintoki sighed, sheathing his sword.
"You know that Sakamoto's the ultimate buzzkill for battle." Takasugi sheathed his sword, and started walking away. "Until next time, Gintoki. Oh…I'd check on that Yato-girl if I were you. Seems as though Kamui got too excited."
Gintoki's eyes widened as they fell on Sadaharu; he watched the unconscious figure as the dog carried it through the battles. He blasted off to that direction without hesitation. "KAGURA!"
Bansai vs. Zoro
Both swordsmen were bloody and panting, but one of them suddenly stopped. Banasi stood up straightly, and rewound his string.
"Oi! Why are you stropping?!" Zoro demanded. "This fight isn't over!"
"Rather than go through the process of this fight, I'm afraid I must disappoint you with a forfeit, Roronora-san. My boss has decided to call it quits, and I have no choice but to follow. Thank you for the fight." Bansai nodded and jumped away.
"OI! COME BACK HERE! ADMIT DEFEAT PROPERLY!" Zoro shouted at him.
Nami vs. Matako
"Shinsuke-sama!" The blonde put her guns away, and walked after her master.
"OI!" Nami yelled at her. "We have a fight to finish!"
"Get a life, tangerine!" Matako barked.
"WHAT?!"
Shinpachi vs. Henpeita
"Oh, it seems that the master has decided to end the fight." The plain man sheathed his sword. "Until another day, Shinpachi-san."
The glasses-boy didn't say anything and simply let the man go. The conflict was over, that was all that mattered. But that was when he noticed Sadaharu barreling towards him, the dog head-butt him onto his back, and he finally noticed the state the Yato girl was in.
"KAGURA-CHAN!"
Isaburo vs. Hijikata
"Oh, it seems as though this transaction has been cancelled. We'll be on our way then." Isaburo sheathed his sword and headed to follow Takasugi.
"What about your subordinate?" Hijikata asked.
"She's a big girl with a boyfriend, she can find her own way back." Isaburo shrugged.
Kondo vs. Momonga
Kondo clashed his sword, and twisted his wrist, disarming Momonga's weapon.
Momonga froze at the sword at his throat; he looked at his opponent in the eye. "Well…what are you waiting for?"
"The fight is over, and Sougo needs help." Kondo turned around and started walking away. "There's no need to kill you."
"A man who isn't smart enough to kill his opponent before a battle, is the stupidest on the field. You have to act quick and have no mercy!" Momonga exclaimed.
"Like what happened to all the civilians right?" Kondo stopped him. "You persecuted and killed first, and asked question. What happened here was no different than the Kansai purge."
"Yes…I was told of that massacre…what of it?" Momonga glared.
"Maybe, if we had stopped killing each other and had bothered trying to talk it out, so many of us wouldn't have died. Becoming the servants of the Bakufu wasn't a perfect solution, but it gave us our swords and a reason to fight. It was good enough for all of us." Kondo smiled. "Later! Fellow Gorilla!"
Chopper, Ussop, &Franky vs. Moriah
Moriah was already down for the count, they were simply fighting through the enedless supply marines, trying to reach their crewmates.
Sanji &Brook vs. Donflamingo
Sanji huffed, and glanced at his teammate; Brook had taken a hell of a lot of hits for him, and he wasn't sure how much more the skeleton could take. "Brook…how you holding up?"
"Yohoho! I'm perfectly fine! Takes a lot to shake this bag of bones!" Brook cheered.
"Enough with the bad jokes!" Sanji shouted. He blinked when he realized that Donflamingo hadn't done anything since the ship crashed into the building. "OI! What are you doing?!"
"Hn. Don't worry about it; this fights' over." Donfalmingo shrugged and started back towards the structure.
"EH?! What do you mean the fight's over?! Explain yourself!" Sanji demanded.
"Isn't it obvious? Everything's grinding to a fault now; that Sakamoto-guy ain't the only one on that ship."
Marco & Ace vs. Kizaru
Since Ace made a glass sculpture out of his opponent; he joined Marco, and now both men were fighting against Kizaru.
"Quite a pain…"
"DAMN BASTARD!" Ace flared fire at him. "Even after two years, your face still pisses me off!"
Marco couldn't argue.
Sengoku vs Garp
"It's over isn't it?" Sengoku sighed; he laid in a pile of rubble in forced submission.
"Ah, it is." Sengoku looked up at the spaceship, already sensing the familiar haki.
"Then, I have one request for you- stop Aokiji from killing Akainu. I don't want him to take my place as Fleet Admiral with that hanging over him." Sengoku breathed.
"Yes…I agree." Garp sighed. "Don't worry old friend, I'll do that."
"Also, Garp…" He turned to the Buddha. "Even though I have to hunt for this child and his parents…do tell Red-Haired I said congratulations. I envy his opportunity to be a father."
Luffy, Dragon, Aokiji, Robin, vs. General Marines
Morbid chaos was the only the way to describe the scene; the marines and pirates were fighting like dogs, and the tension wasn't helping anything. Luffy and Robin stared at Dragon and Aokiji in complete shock. Slowly, the rubber boy turned to Akainu, looking to confirm suspicions.
"He's my…uncle?" Luffy's voice caught in his throat. "How…? Why…?"
"Why did you say that, Aokiji?" Dragon glowered.
"It was going to come out here eventually anyways." Aokiji sighed and turned to Robin. "I also have confessing to do with you as well, so I thought it might be poetic this way."
"Hell of a sonnet." Dragon replied sardonically. "But yes…Sakazuki Lucinda was the name of your mother. We met at a Fishman activist rally, and we worked together for mutual interest; even back then, we fought against the oppression of the World Government. Both were apart of a noble family that was cozy wit the Tenryuubito, but once Lucinda was found collaborating with me, their family was disgraced, and Akainu was enraged. He hated pirates from the beginning, but once she started being with me…the hatred turned into flat-out loathing and contempt. He began hunting and killing people even uttering the word. He was personally recruited by the World Government for his cruelty."
"Jinbe told me, mom died from childbirth. Is that true?" Luffy asked.
"Ah. Unfortunately, there were complications in your birth, and Lucinda couldn't handle it." Dragon admitted it.
"Why didn't you raise me? What happened to you? Why'd you leave me with Gramps?" Luffy questioned.
"I couldn't handle it. After Lucinda died, and the Revolutionary movement came into full swing, I- I chickened out; I asked father to raise you, and he openly accepted it." Dragon sighed. "I knew you'd have a good life with him, and he had already adopted Ace; you grew up to be a fine man."
"Yeah, too bad you weren't around to see it." Luffy glared, and turned to Akainu. "As for you…you knew who I was the second you saw me; you knew I was your nephew."
Akainu didn't say anything on the matter, for his tounge and throat were currently frozen. But he silently lipped his final word on the matter. "…Twas your fault…"
"I see, so you did know."
POW!
Luffy sent a harsh kick to Akainu's stomach, and turned away. "You're worse than scum."
Robin put a hand on his shoulder. "Captain…"
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU GUYS DOING?!" Everyone turned to Zoro shouting at them. "Clear a way! The Yato girl needs to get a doctor!"
"What?!" Luffy shouted. "Let's go!"
"Captain?" Robin was surprised at his mood change.
"We can worry about the small details later Robin!" Luffy shouted and ran forward. "COME ON! WE'VE GOT TO HELP!"
Glancing briefly at Aokiji, she frowned and turned back to Luffy. "Eh, you're right."
Dragon and Aokiji rolled up their sleeves as well; Dragon looked at the bushy-haired man in surprise. "You're fighting too? But you'd be going against your fellow marines."
"And they're going against my daughter, you're point?" Aokiji responded.
Nodding, Dragon started to the battlefield, following his son. "Good enough for me." He noted that the Shinsengumi officers had joined the fight, and that Odd-Jobs was trying to take refuge on Whitebeard's ship. There was now a new samurai with long hair fighting too.
"Aokiji!" He turned to his daughter, who bore a fierce look. "We will talk about this later."
Whitebeard's Ship
"So…you two must be members of the mysterious Odd-Jobs pirates. The strange start-up group who popped up out of nowhere on the East Blue; care to tell us what's going on exactly?" Whitebeard looked down at the two men and dog, who all bore very worried expressions. Shinpachi and Sadaharu were pretty open about it, but Gintoki kept his usual poker-dead-fish-eye-face, but with the way he was staring at the door with the red cross, you could tell he was worried. Kagura was being operated on right now, and it was serious enough to where they took her in for surgery.
"Oi! He asked you a question!" Izo yelled. While the pirates more than welcomed the idea of treating the young girl, they still didn't like strange pirates aboard the ship. Or at least people they didn't know around their captain.
"There's not much to say; what you've heard form Izo-san and Haruta-san have summarized our situation quite nicely. We apologize for you having to face Kagura-chan's brother, but…as you can tell, he has no sympathy or feels no connection to his family." Shinpachi explained.
"I see…so you guys simply got dragged into this as well." Whitebeard nodded. "Well…Ace, Garp, and Redhaired told me most of the story, but there is one issue I'd like you to clear up: if you're not pirates, what do you want with One Piece?"
"What? You mean you weren't told, Whitebeard-san?" Shinpachi asked; then again, Whitebeard nor his commanders were there when the confusion about the diamond and th treasure were revealed. "Well, in any case…we came this planet looking for the 'Pirate's Eye Diamond', but we were confused when people kept bringing up One Piece. We meant that we were looking for a one-piece treasure, not One Piece itself."
"I can see where that'd get confusing." Whitebeard nodded. "I actually happen to know where and what the diamond is, though you may be surprised at what you hear."
"Really?" Shinpachi asked anxiously. "What?"
"Supposedly, that diamond fell from the first king of Skypia a little over eight hundred years ago, and fell onto a place known as 'Lost Island', legend has it the last remaining dragons on this planet live there. Though you won't have any competition for it; many consider that diamond to be cursed." Whitebeard explained.
"Yeah…we heard." Gtinoki spoke up. "Supposedly it brings disaster to all those who posses it, right? And this damned gem put Kagura at risk. Hey, I don't mean to sound condescending, but…will my idiot daughter be okay?"
"Ah. The medics here are damned good at what they do, and my best nurses are attending to her as we speak." The old pirate confirmed. "So are any of those people coming back? What about that Takasugi-character?"
"Not likely; Takasugi never terrorizes the same place twice; though I can't make any promises about Sakamoto. Once his business associate sniffs out a market, there's no stopping her." Gintoki replied. "It's hard to believe Katsura showed up; damned Sakamoto owes me an explanation."
"Well…" Whitebeard looked at ship and stiffened up completely. "Soon…everyone will have to plead their case."
The Spaceship
Finally…after fifteen minutes of anticipation, the man every marine and old pirate recognized, finally showed his face.
STOMP!
Everyone froze in their fighting, and turned to look at the ship's entrance; out came a man almost as tall as Sengoku, heavily muscled and had many scars. He strangely resembled a lizard and had a spiked Mohawk.
"C-Commander in Chief Kong!" Sengoku gasped.
"Yes…you all have much explaining to do." He looked around himself and found what he was looking for: the Den Den Mushi Sengoku had been using. After taking a few deep breaths, he spoke in the snail.
"SHUT UP!" Everyone stopped their movements and turned their heads to the man ontop of the execution platform. "Now that's better. To my understanding a bunch of deals went on behind my back, and while I approved of the Martial Law against the islands suspected of hoarding pirates…I did not permit making deals with people from other universes. So as of now, whatever alliances or agreements that the Navy and World Government have made with the Harusame Space Pirates, the Kihetai, the Shinsengumi, and the Mimiwarigumi are hereby terminated and are banished from this universe.
Furthermore, until further notice, the martial law from each island is lifted until this incident is resolved. The Odd-Jobs group are now cleared of any wrong-doings or suspected acts of piracy stody. Lastly,everyone here: marine, pirate, or alien alike, is to put down their weapons and step away from each other. Every pirate and revolutionary is pardoned for their participation today, and are now being asked to leave. This does not include the Shichibukai. As for the alien-groups mentioned, you must depart immediately from this universe, or be executed on the spot. All Navy Admirals, Vice Admirals, and Cipher Pole 9 agents (current and former) are to meet me in the office. All lower-ranked marines, please be on standby until you are given further instruction.
As to address the world's concern about who won this fight, that's simple: there was no winner here. It was a long big heep of crapshoot that never should've happened; the time to decide the world's fate will come one day, but I don't see it happening right now. So instead of worrying about whose a pirate and whose a marine, let's just step back and take breather. That is all. Everyone dismissed!
Down on the Battlefied
Robin looked at her 'father' as he walked towards the direction of his commander. "Aokiji." He turned to her. "Become Fleet Admiral this time."
"Ah." He smiled and continued on.
"Robin." Luffy placed a hand on her shoulder; she nodded and ran towards their awaiting crewmembers. She frowned, when she noticed Dragon going back to the Revolutionary troops. "Captain…are you sure you're okay with simply letting him go?"
Turning to what she was talking about, Luffy nodded. "I'm mad at him sure, but…I've found out all I've wanted to find out about my family, and well…I'm fine with it. It is what it is Robin, you can't change it." Robin nodded at the logic. "So for now, I'm okay with things the way they are between me and him; we achieve our dreams this way, and we'll have better stories to talk about when we meet again!"
"That's true." Robin nodded.
"What about you and that ice-bastard? You okay?" Luffy said with concern.
Placing a hand over her heart, she nodded. "I will probably talk with him about this later on, but for now…I simply wish to reunite with my crew."
"YATTA!" Luffy cheered.
"Luffy! Robin! Hurry up!" Zoro yelled. "Chopper needs to get Whitebeard's ship, that China-girl's in pretty bad shape!"
"You're telling me, Sougo's already heading there with baldy." Hijikata sighed, smoking. He suddenly locked eyes with Zoro. "We should fight while we wait."
"Agreed." Zoro nodded.
"Will you guys save that for another time?!" Ussop demanded.
"He's right." Nami eyed the two Shinsengumi members suspiciously. "So you're on our side then?"
"We were never on your opposing side to begin with miss; Sougo was on your team, so so are we." Kondo smiled. "I'm Kondo Isao by the way, and this is Hijikata Toshiro; we friends and comrades of Okita Sougo."
"Yeah…we've met." Franky groaned thinking of the kid's antics. "So we head to the Whitebeard ship, right?"
"That's the plan." Robin nodded.
"OI! LUFFY!" Ace shouted, waving his arm. "There are some friends here that want to see you and Odd-Jobs! They say it's important."
"Huh?" Luffy blinked.
His crew gave a loud groan, while Brook laughed. "Wonder what it is this time? Yohoho!"
10min Later- Whitebeard's ship
Gintoki, Shinpachi, the Shinsegumi members, and the Strawhat pirates stared at the little girl and beautiful princess before them. Vivi sent them a dazzling smile before pushing Apis forward. "Go on Apis-chama, tell them."
"Hello…" She stepped forward; she held out her cuffed hands; something sparkly shown through the cracks of her skin, slowly she opened her hand to reveal a very large, clear, and colorful jaw-dropping gemstone of April. "I heard you guys were looking for the Pirate's Eye Diamond?"
Review please! Sorry if it's sudden!
