Chapter 9: Smoke Signals?
I was on pavement, I felt someone shaking me. I opened my eyes and I saw Luffy.
He was saying, "Wake up! Wake up! Sanji! Maybe some food would wake him up!"
Sanji replied, "And what do I cook or cook with?"
I said, "Well, maybe there's a store around?"
Luffy said, "He's awake!"
I said, "Yes, yes, I'm awake. Now stop shaking me."
I sat up, looking around. We were obviously not in Alabasta anymore. We were in a more modern city. There were cheap ass cars driving around and there was a siren sounding. Suddenly we were surrounded by soldiers. Obviously they were more advanced then the people of One Piece because the soldiers were armed with bolt action rifles. I saw some tall guy that was really ripped.
He said, "Who are you?"
I said, "I am John Haultin, this is Sanji and Monkey D. Luffy."
Luffy was so excited about the guy.
He said, "Whoa large-ossan! What's your name?"
"Me?" he said, "I am Alex Louis Armstrong, The Strong Arm Alchemist!"
Luffy replied, "WOW!"
Suddenly something caught my eye. It was smoke, a very small strand of smoke.
I said, "Smoke signal?"
-Meanwhile-
Bill was yelling, "Come on Havoc! Breathe! Breathe! You got the lungs of a smoker!"
Bill was waving a towel at Havoc's cigarette.
He yelled, "You can breathe harder than that!"
-Back to me-
I was looking into the far East, then I looked south. I saw a light on a cloud. It continued to blink.
-Meanwhile-
Rabia was yelling, "Nami, don't you have a bigger, brighter mirror?!"
Nami said, "I'm looking! I'm looking!"
Rabia yelled, "DAMMIT FLASH!"
-Meanwhile-
Bill said, "Hey look! I see it! I see my sibling calling for me!"
Everyone in the background said, "What is wrong with these people."
-Back to me-
I thought I had to do something to show where I was so I took out my flare gun.
-Meanwhile-
"Fly pigeons! Fly!" said Chuck.
He let the birds free and they went to note the other siblings where he was.
-Back to me…….again-
I cocked the gun and I shot up the flare. When it flew into the air it didn't get two miles before blowing something up. A talon with a note on it fell from the sky.
I said, "Oops."
I picked it up and it said that Chuck was in some town called Resembool. I was relieved that I knew all of my family was here. I knew only Bill would try and signal me with smoke signals and only Rabia would try and shine a light on a cloud, in broad daylight. I swatted my head with my palm and Sanji looked to the east.
"Hey, looks like someone's really havin' a big bar-b-que!"
"No," I said, "That's Bill."
"Bill?"
"Yeah, that's Bill, over there is Rabia, and over there is Chuck."
-Meanwhile-
"I got you connected to your brother." Said Maison.
"Thank you." Said Rabia.
She got onto the phone and was calling Bill. There was a buzzing sound for a while until Bill picked up the phone on the other end.
Bill said, "'Ello."
Rabia replied, "Hey Bill! It's me! Rabia!"
"Well great! Now, how 'bout you come to, uh, East central or something like that." Bill said continuing to drink his bottle of Pale Ale.
"No, you come down here to Dublith."
"No, you come here."
"I'm not moving, you come here!"
"I'm not moving either so you come here!"
"No, you!"
"No, you!"
"You!"
"You!"
"YOU!!!!"
Robin butted in on this conversation, "Uh, Mr. Autumn? I believe it would be wise if we go there."
Bill replied, "Okay!"
Rabia heard what happened and said, "You are such a dork."
-Back to me-
Luffy was so interested in that Armstrong's stories that he was paying the closest attention I've seen him pay to anyone. I just stood there and I turned my head around looking at the city, when I saw her. Some lady dressed in black and she had big boobs. Black hair, sort of a pale face, and a symbol on her chest. My heart suddenly began to beat rapidly, it was too much for my body, and I fell to my knees. I felt something, a feeling, surface. It was rage, for some reason rage was filling my body; I felt my body forming into something else as well.
Spikes of ice were coming out of my back and my hands were being covered in ice. Below freezing air was coming out of my mouth and my eyes began to turn as white as the snow. Everyone around me was wondering what was going on.
Sanji said, "Is this a side effect of the devil fruit?"
Armstrong exclaimed, "DEVIL FRUIT?!"
It felt like instinct, that woman, she had done something, I don't know what but she had done many, many things that were evil. My heart was racing too much for me to figure out what it was though. I saw images though, blood, much blood. Crying children, dead children, death and destruction, nothing human. It reminded me that one time I read that book. It told of a country filled with so much pride that they did the unthinkable, the inhuman. I began to understand, she wasn't human, she was cruel, she must've been like those people.
That made my rage grow, I began to growl, but something pulled me down. They were stone hands, then they landed on top of me. I looked ahead, only to see some short guy in a red coat. Then I saw my younger brother, my rage made me fight out, but my attempts were futile because more and more hands flung on top of me. I became exhausted, I stopped and I slept. Sleeping made me transform back to normal. Then I had a dream, this is what happened:
It was the same scenario, the short guy with my brother, then something went through my brother's chest. It was a spike, the short guy just stood there when I saw who sent that thing through my brother, it was the woman. My rage grew, I broke out of the stone prison and I lunged for the woman. She tried to do the same to me she did to my brother but my rage, it makes me keep going. It forces me to keep going until I have killed the one that killed my brother. Then I thought of my brother, he lay there, I thought that with his devil fruit, I thought, would help him live through that. It didn't though. This made me pissed, I changed form totally, I became an ice dragon. Then she sliced me up, she must've had a devil fruit, her fingers stretched out as spikes. As a last chance shot, I sent an icicle through her. She still lived though, she didn't have a devil fruit, she was a devil.
I woke up in a bed in some other town. Rabia sat there next to me, I smiled and I got up. She punched me.
She said, "WHY DID YOU PASS OUT?! YOU HAD ME WORRIED! HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO ME YOU JERK!?"
I had a huge bump on my head and I sarcastically said thanks to her. She beat me again. I had two bumps on my head. She continuously tries to convince me that she is such an innocent girl. I sat up and I looked to see if Chuck was alive. He was, it was a relief, I knew that the dream was just that but I wanted to be sure. That woman was mysterious, I wish I knew more about her so maybe I could control my rage.
-BONUS!-
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1- HAPPY NEW YEAR!
The Straw Hat crew celebrates just as Nami lunges for Luffy and they fall behind the couch.
I looked and I said, "Whoa."
Chuck was coming over and said, "What're they doing?"
"DON'T LOOK!"
"LUFFY!" Sanji yelled, "HOW CAN YOU DO THAT?!"
Bill decided to try doing the same and lunged for Robin. Robin stepped to the side and Bill went flying into the wall.
Rabia said, "You're getting closer, you were only a centimeter off."
"Damn," Bill replied, "I'm getting good."
Then a pop was heard and he continued to drink Pale Ale.
