It was silent at first. Everyone was sprawled out across the ground or hanging, limp, off the ship. The ship was on its side on a patch of land with mountains surrounding it. After a while, a slight breeze washed over everyone, the sea of grass waving with the wind. Morisondo was the first to get up. He staggered up, his body still reconstructing the wound that had been dealt to him earlier. His eyes widened as he staggered forward. What he saw was unreal. It was a small town with old buildings, cars, and what looked like, flying cars. The town was not just old buildings though, they were ruined ones, domes, and huts built out of sticks. Others were normal square like buildings but with odd symbols on the sides. Where were they? What was going on? It was unsure what was going on, but whatever it was, it wasn't good. There were people walking around the village, going about their day as normal. He slowly approached the town, looking around as people stared at him. He wouldn't blame them for looking at him, he was still bleeding a bit, chains pulling his shoulder to his torso. He staggered through the streets, seeing weird alien like humans, Cowboy looking people, normal people he was used to, some were dressed like the people who were with Naruto before, and some who were in black clothes with swords. What was going on? Where were they? What happened...?

"What is... this place...?" he muttered to himself. Then, he heard people mutter and saw people pointing at the sky. And he saw what they saw; A paw print. He ran as best as he could to where it was going to land, pushing people out of the way. When the paw landed, a shock wave shot around, causing people to fall over, stands to crumble, and cars to tip over. Mori covered his face from the blast and staggered towards the paw print hole as people muttered, staring at him. After a while, Pan awoke and saw him, struggling to get up and reaching towards him, grabbing his shoulders as Mori started to bend forward. It was a grab that would normally not hurt Mori, given that we was made of metal... but for some reason, it hurt. He felt the plates of his shoulder straining under pressure. He struggled away from her, his shoulders dented quite considerably. He stared at his shoulders and touched them, hand shaking. No doubt, his eyes weren't playing tricks on him. His metal shoulders were dented with a hand print.

"This cannot be..." he said, looking at Pan. 'Whatever happened, you are stronger than you were before... what exactly happened...?" he muttered, standing up straight, looking around. It didn't seem real... it was like worlds were just thrown together, and everyone, except for him and Pan, were not confused. Soon, everyone from the ship began to get up, looking around.

"Oi! Mori! What the hell is going on?" shouted Simon, looking around as Kevlan got up.

"I don't know Simon... but we have to get moving. I have a bad feeling about all of this..." Mori said, walking towards the ship, staggering a bit. Kevlan's eye was going mad, zooming in and out, glowing, taking pictures, scanning, and all that it could do, while his human eye quivered in horror and excitement.

"I don't believe it! It would seem... our world was merged with several other worlds! What a find! What could have happened?! I should figure out what happened!" he said, looking around.

"Not now, Kevlan! We need to get moving now!" Mori shouted, looking at the ship. The Green gorillas were trying to move the ship, but it was way too big for them. Their efforts were useless. 'Move back!" he shouted to the gorillas and extended his arms, his cape fluttering around in a wind that seemed to only affect him.

"What is he doing?" asked Robin, scratching her head. Simon grunted and crossed his arms.

"Just watch..." he said as the ship began to shake a bit. Mori rotated his hands so his palms were facing the sky and spread his legs shoulder width apart. As he did this, he lowered his arms, looking as though he was about to pick something up that was heavy.

"He has not used this ability very much... we have to make sure he doesn't hurt himself doing it..." Simon muttered as the ship began to shake even more. Mori began to stand up straight as the ship rose off the ground with him rising, his body shaking a bit from the amount of concentration and strain his body was going through. Everyone watched as he began to raise the ship off the ground all in awe. This was not exclusive to the people on the ship. Anyone who had clear view of the ship from the town was seeing it. And they were awestruck. Mori strained more, his face turning a bit red from the strain of the power he was using. The ship was getting higher and higher off the ground, and slowly began to turn up right. Kevlan was watching him, scanning his body, staying silent while Mori worked.

"If he doesn't get the ship into the water soon... he will exhaust his body and it will give up on him..." he muttered as Mori moved his hands again to a position of 'Pushing' something. And that's exactly what he was doing. With his power, he pushed the gigantic ship towards the water, his wound opening up, blood pouring out. His arms even started to crack, the metal plating receiving too much pressure. As the ship slowly glided over the ground towards the water, Luffy's hat flew off as a large gust of wind blew past them. it soared in the air and Luffy turned, shouting something, but the wind was quite loud, so no one heard him. He shot his arms and caught it, barely getting it as the wind continued to blow. As it returned to him he saw the vivre card that Ace had given him... and it was burning. Luffy watched it, holding it tightly as the ship continued towards the water. Suddenly, and almost conveniently, someone was shouting, handing out news papers around, and a faint sound of "Portgas D. Ace" was heard... How convenient... Luffy shot his arms out, grabbing one of the papers from a random person, causing them to run in fear. He brought his arms back and his eyes widened, the paper shaking a bit as he read the title.

Portgas D. Ace, CAPTURED!

Portgas D. Ace was captured a weeks ago by one of the current Warlords, Blackbeard. He was sent to Impel Down and remained there until the day of his execution. But on that day, an incident occurred. Information about the incident is being withed from the public, but all that is known is that Ace was sent to the HQ on the day he was to be sent to his execution as planned, escorted by three Warlords, Barthalomew Kuma, Boa Hancock, and Dracule Mihawk. Though, with the recent incident, the Execution was delayed a few days later so they could get everything in order. For more information, read Page E4.

Luffy was shaking. He was reading it but didn't believe it... His brother... captured? This couldn't be true! Ace was strong! Stronger than anyone he had ever faced! Nami, seeing him shaking walked over, and was going to ask what was wrong, but read the title herself. She gasped and covered her mouth as the ship slowly lowered into the water, Mori making grunting sounds as he did.

"Nami. What's wrong?" asked Usopp, turning to her and she gulped a bit and read the paper out loud.

"Portgas D. Ace... Captured and to be executed..." She said and every pirate turned to face her, a look of shock on their face. It was silent. That was not usually bad... but the grunting had stopped. Charline, who had been hiding in the crowd, looked at her son, who was standing there, holding he ship in the air.

"...Mori...?" she said quietly, and he began to shake, gritting his teeth. The ship was shaking with him as he clenched his hands, letting it drop into the water with a loud, thunderous crash. The water rose high into the air, towering over them. He was shaking, fists clenched tightly. The water crashed onto the grass and rushed over them, but the wave was not strong enough to knock anyone over, just cause them to stagger back. Every Devil fruit user collapsed, panting and struggling to move, seeing as it was sea water. All but Mori. He was shaking, attempting to keep his body standing, despite his strength draining.

"N-new plan..." he gasped out, staggering as he turned to face everyone. His eyes were full of anger and determination, with some sorrow hidden underneath.

"Luffy... You will take Sunny and go to where Ace is... Tortuga you will go with as well... I still have to get Project Fang going. We are going to start it up now..." he grunted, panting. Kevlan looked at him, scanning his body as Barntel scurried forward with Markcus.

"But sir... there are still things that we have to get done! We have to-"

"I don't care!' roared Mori, snarling. He was breathing heavily, shaking more. 'Ace is captured... and I will not allow him to be killed..." He stood up and turned around to face the ship and stormed to it, his crew following him, determination with each step.

"Pan, you have to gather everyone and get them to Arabasta, NOW. You seemed to have just landed, so that would mean everyone else is landing soon too..."

"But I-" Pan started and Mori looked down at her.

"Now is not the time to argue! My friend is about to be killed, and you will have to go alone. I am sorry." He began to board the ship, as Ochura, the Great White Fishman they had fought before, stepped out, holding his head. Mori stopped, snarling.

"I see your wounds have finally healed up, Ochura." he snarled, looking at him. The two looked at each other and, before Ochura said something, he noticed Charline shaking her head. He stayed silent and went into the ship and disappeared into the shadows. They all piled into the ship as Mori was flipping switches and pulling levers, letting Thousand Sunny out of his ship. Luffy and his crew got on it as Pan shot off into the distance, looking up at Mori as he looked down at them.

"Make sure you get your brother, Luffy. Make sure you don't die before we get there. We will give you the entire strength of The Damned, The Betrayed, and The Punished Pirates. You have my word." the two nodded and set sail, determined to get to their goal. Luffy was to head to get Ace, Pan was to gather the Z Fighters, and Mori was to get "Project Fang." Everything was going along a new path...

Meanwhile... God, was crossing its arms, shaking its head.

"While I still can't see you, I will make the events that should have happened, happen... I have put these worlds together, let these people meet... now it's time to see where the abnormality is... " God muttered, sighing.

The large ship tore through the waves, moving quite quickly as it headed towards Arabasta. Mori was standing on the front of the ship, arms crossed, his cape fluttering in the wind. Simon was talking with Markcus about Project Fang, while everyone else was preparing for the battle that would commence once they got their project started. Barntel was polishing his armor and sharpening his legs, as they were dulled down from the fight against Zolo before. Father Carson was putting on some new crosses and sharpening his cross like swords and his shoe swords.

"Mori isn't happy at all..." muttered Carson, looking at their captain, who was facing the sea, cape fluttering in the wind. Charline was standing with them, helping everyone fix up the cannons and load their guns with special bullets to take on Devil Fruit users.

"Why is he so angry? I mean... Ace is a pirate, and I know Mori really isn't a pirate but... why?" she asked, looking at Simon, who was doing curls with weights. he looked up, his red hair in his face.

"During the years that he was gone... he was trained by the Marines and sent out after they modified him each time to take on pirates. He'd be gone for ages, and he often recruited us to join him to "make a change" ' He looked at her, putting the weights down and stood up. 'Soon, he went to take on Whitebeard and was not seen for a long time after that... Later he returned and spoke of every crew member on there. Especially Ace, who he got along with quite well. The two sparred quite often he said..." Simon said, stretching a bit. Charline looked at her son, crossing her arms as the ship continued to move. At the speed they were going, Arabasta would be reached in a few hours... apart from the fact that they weren't even that far from them, they had the ship using ever means of movement on it working.

Arabasta

Vivi was sitting in her room, reading a book as Terracotta brushed her hair.

"You enjoying the book I got you, Vivi-Chan?" she said, peering over her shoulder. Vivi nodded and flipped the page. It was a peaceful day. She hadn't seen those figures since they saved her, but she was not worrying TOO much about it... until screams were heard outside. She stood up and rushed to the window with Terracotta, expecting to see bandits or pirates or... or... what she saw... was not anything she ever expected. A gigantic ship slowly approached the docks. A ship, that towered over the buildings. People were running in terror from the ship, the waves crashing harshly against the water, damaging buildings, crushing ships. She was in shock, what could a ship of that size want with them? And more importantly, who owned it!? Palace guards ran to the docks, weapons out and ready as Vivi ran to the entrance. Pell was standing there. He looked up at her and shook his head.

"Stay here, Princess. We can't have you going out there with all of this trouble!" Pell was a rather tall man, and had a purple line under each eye that ran down the sides of his face. He wore a long white robe with brown star-like motifs on it and a matching hat. He carried around his sword on his right hip. He was standing in the entrance way and watched Vivi as she ran to him.

"What is going on?" she asked, looking up at him. He shook his head and looked out and took out binoculars, watching the ship. He saw some movement on it and followed it as it leaped off the ship. Mori's cape fluttered furiously as he descended the ship, arms arched a bit beside him. He landed on the ground, cracking the hard ground beneath him, dust blowing across the dock and to the two guards standing nearby.

"Who are you?! What are you doing here?" they asked, but Mori ignored them walking forward. They attempted to intercept him but he rose his hands, making a circle with his pointer fingers and his thumbs on both hands. He continued to walk forward and growled.

"Tobu Shigan... ( Flying Finger Gun ) ' he muttered, and flicked his fingers. ' Bache. ( Prick )" Two white blurs shot from his fingertips and hit the two guards. They both keeled over, holding their now bleeding wounds. More guards, seeing this, charged to meet him as the rest of his crew was disembarking. Mori took out a Grey Denden Mushi and took the receiver off and held it to his mouth.

"To everyone on the ship. We need everyone to prepare to get off the ship when we reach a designated island. The Island is under our protection and you will all be safe. The ship is going to Marineford and I do not expect it to make it back. When Project Fang is loaded onto the ship, we will be heading out. Please prepare for departure!" he said, his voice echoing from the ship. Simon landed on the ground, cracking it as well, beside Marcus, Barntel, Charline, Ochura, and Richard. Mori put the Denden Mushi away and pocketed it, looking back at the six.

"Deal with them Richard. We need to get this plan going, and get it going now..." Mori said, continuing his walk towards the desert. Pell saw everything that had happened and took out his sword and went to meet him at the edge of the desert, Vivi following behind, regardless of what was aid. Richard took off his hat and some ribbons shot out of it, wrapping around the guards, cards flying out to knock their weapons out of their hands.

"We are in a hurry, why don't you keep yourselves out of our way." Richard said, looking up at them. Mori was about to get to the Desert, when Pell met him, sword in hand.

"Stop right there!" he shouted, snarling. 'You attacked our guards and that makes you an enemy of the Kingdom!" Mori snarled and kept moving, Barntel moving a bit faster.

"I will deal with him..." he grumbled, clacking his claws together. Pell growled and took a stance as Mori walked past him, snarling. The rest followed him, unaware that Vivi was following them.

"Sir, what exactly is Ochura doing here? Isn't he the enemy?" asked Marcus, twirling his conductors stick.

"Obviously not, since his mother is alive, wouldn't you agree?" Ochura said, looking at him. They continued into the desert, far from the city, Vivi still following them, wondering what these people were doing... Then the one in the Vice Admirals cape stopped and looked around.

"This it?" Mori asked, looking at Marcus, and he nodded. ' Then get it open. It's time we get this going. " Mori commanded, looking at his ship, which was still visible though they were far from the city.

Barntel looked at Pell, who had his blade still out at him.

"Why are you people here?" asked Pell, shifting a bit. Barntel, clacked his claws more.

"We are here to get our other ship." Barntel replied, moving a bit. Pell lowered his blade a bit, quirking a brow.

"Other ship...? In the desert?" he questioned before raising his blade again. "You can't mean!"

"Of course. That's our ship, and our secret weapon against the World Government!"

The sands shifted on the surface of a metallic door and some sand fell into the darkness below as the doors opened, some smoke rising from it. Vivi watched closely and hid, meeping as Charline looked in her general direction.

"You can come out now darling. You aren't in any trouble with us..." she said, smiling, beckoning her. Vivi sighed and came out of hiding, the doors opening more, the sound of rushing water being heard.

"What exactly are you guys doing here?" she asked, shakily walking towards them. Mori turned to her, arms still crossed.

"Getting a weapon that will be used against the World Government. " he said, and Vivi stopped.

"B-but why?"

"Because of what they did to me. What they are doing constantly. What they did before." Mori responded, turning to the now opened doors. He peered down and smiled.

"It looks like you have fixed it up quite well..." he said, Simon looking down at it.

"We had to spend a lot of time studying it before doing anything... it was a pain in the ass, but we believe it will work." Mori chuckled and turned to them.

"Alright everyone, here is the plan. I want everyone but Simon and my mother to go back to the ship and get the bottom open and get it ready for the ship. You adapted it to underwater I hope?" he asked and Simon shook his head. ' Well... hmm... then open the free side and get it to the spot we had set up for it. We will move it out right away. But we can't let it be seen. Move the ship into position. Got it?" he ordered and everyone nodded and went off to do what they were ordered to do. Morisondo, Simon, and Charline all leaped into the hole, disappearing from sight. Vivi ran to the hole and peered down and gasped, covering her mouth.

"There is no way..." she whispered, he eyes quivering.
