Chapter 3: A Meeting of Old
"Sire! Sire!" a minion came rushing into the tent, he panted heavily. "A train is approaching!"
Yume got up, along with Akumu, and asked,"What direction is it coming from and what is it's name?"
"None."
"Let them pass, anything that goes out of the ordinary, kill all. Take no survivors but steal their supplies."
(Anywhere)
"You kids, wear these." Horus said as he tossed Matt and Chopper fresh new clothes. Matt held up his share of clothes, he gave a shocked look. "What? Is there anything with it?"
"This is my old outfit." Matt whispered while hugging the long victorian coat, he placed it over himself and the glove and boots came on last. The only thing that was different was his clothes inside the coat, it made him look like Rick from the Mummy, since they were white and his pants were bageish/brownish. "Where'd you find it?"
"An old friend told me. We are to have a meeting with the Seven Guardians of Yumegypt, I am part of them, Horus the Guardian of the Sky. You can not go there dressed as you are, Sanji, Luna, and Richie are already dressed in their propper clothes.When we get there, do not speak unless spoken to, understood?" Chopper had on the same outfit from Alabasta, Sanji got up to fix his robe and asked,"Where do we go?"
"To car 7, on our way, do NOT make eye contact with anyone."
"Do it as ninjas? Simple, easy, I love it." Richie smiled. "Just like sneaking into the girl's bath-"
"YOU ACT LIKE MATT?!"Sanji roared, Tori entered the room just in time before Sanji can land a good hard kick on Richie's head.
"Tekkai!"
"Am I intruding, father?" Tori asked as she watched the fight that was paused.
"No, why?"
"Because they have decided to hold the meeting here."
"HERE?!"Horus nearly yelled in surprised, she stepped in and six cloaked men dressed in the same style as Horus came in. The each had a kanji on their left cheeks to represent which clan they were from. "Good evening."
The sat on the rug withtheir feet crossed in a circle, Horus joined in and one by one, they uncovered their faces. Only one of them neglected to do so. A bearded man with shoulder length hair with the kanji for wtater spoke in a wise tone,"Why must you cover your face? It is a meeting, are you not bound to our Brethren? Guardian of the Dark Country?"
"Gurrrrrr..."
They turned their heads to see-
"Luna?" Horus turned to her so suddenly, you can hear his neck crack. "Luna? Did you just growl?"
Ka-chack!
"Matt, what're you doing with your iron gun?"
"Nothing, I just sense a...thing." Matt casually replied. "So, hooded guy, show us your face."
"I feel I have a right NOT to." the man responded, the cloth muffled his voice, but they can still hear him clearly. Luna's tail brushed tensely against Sanji's ankle, he leaned next to her.
"What?"
"I feel like I met that guy."
"Your instints are getting the best of you, control yourself!"
"Fine..."
"I would like to start this meeting, for I had met with the chosen ones from the legend."
"And who and where are they?" the lady with the kanji for fire asked, she was the only woman at the meeting. "We can't stop Yume from starting his rein again without them."
"They stand before you." Horus proudly announced. "At least half of them."
"Half?!" a man around Sanji's age coughed on his sake, he bore the kanji for wind on his skin. The older man next to him wearing the symbol representing light patted his back. "Only half, aniki? You only gathered six so far-"
"Do not be rude to your aniki, my son." he carried the same features of Horus, after all, he was his father. "Horus, your brother has a point, why only six out of fifteen? That's less than half..."
"Yume has split them up in a battle at sea with his fallowers. This one, the Sorcerer." he pointed over at Luna. "Is poisined by maticore poisin, it resides in her still."
"Intresting," the hooded man chuckled.
"What is there to laugh about?!" the Guardian of Earth asked, he glared at him.
"How must we know that these people are not of those sand creatures from Yume Nushi? They must be ordered to slaughter us one by one, you can see it in one of the Protecter's eyes, along with the Sorceres."
"If they were, I would not be sitting here talking to you." Horus said.
"Horus." the Guardian of Fire spoke. "Tell us where the rest of them are."
"The Path to Yume Kado, the Princess, and the Slave are with Yume, the rest are at sea looking for them."
"Pirates, I take it?" the Guardian of Light asked, Horus nodded. "And you had to go through all the trouble to make them look older."
"Whah?"
His father smiled and chuckled,"It's pretty obvious." He waved his hand and Sanji, Luna, Matt, Richie, and Chopper's hats or hoods came off. "Teenagers."
"The Chosen Ones are kids?!" the Guardian of Wind stuttered. "Aniki, is this some sort of sick joke or something?! You picked them up in town and hoped they would save us all?!" He then burst out laughing.
"Shuzan!" his farther barked at him. "Give your aniki some credit, at least he found the right people."
"..."
(Anyway)
"Yumegypt, the sister country of Arabasta." Robin explained as they looked at the desert surrounding the river. "It is said that the Seven Guardians protect and rule this country."
"Isn't there some sort of king that rules these guys?" Franky asked.
"Oddly, this country had only one king, and one king only. He reigned for over a year before the royal family disappeared, and that was about 2,000 years ago. See, this is the family crest." she handed them the book she was reding, the picture looked a bit faded, but you can see it. The crest was a peacock with its wings spread out, giving it the eagle pose, two katanas intersected behind it, its tail feathers were split in seven ways. On the end of each tail feathers, the kanji for water, earh, fire, wind, sky, light, and darkness formed were drawn small, but the main kanji for dream laid behind all that. "The symbols around the peacock represent the Seven Guardians of Yumegypt, the king's guards.
"After the royal family was gone, the Seven Guardians took over the country and even changed the royal crest." she flipped the page. It was the same flag, only, the kanji for dream was replaced with peace, and the peacock was replaced by a hawk.
"What kind of country doesn't have a king?" Zoro snorted. "I have expected this place to be up in flames."
"Aparently this one-"
"I saw that symbol, turn back to the first page." Chehero said to Robin, she pointed at it. "This is the one I saw on Yume's throne room!"
"Ah, the Yume Kado mixup." Brooke started. "Yes, it dawns on me, it does look like that same tapistry we saw."
"So...Becky's dream land is a real country." Usopp said thoughtfully. "That means that that Prince Yume guy must be real too."
"Didn't Robin just say the royal family's been wiped out?" Luffy asked.
"Well, the book did mention two brothers of the royal family still living. But it's been 2,000 years, they must be dead by now."
"Nothing's dead when we're around Luna!" Usopp exclaimed. "On every adventure we go with that wolf, there's always something dead or undead fallowing us!"
(Anytime)
"Raze(ra-zeh)-san." Shuzan said to the lady. "You agree with Horus on this?"
Raze nodded at him,"As long as they save us, we're fine."
"That's everyone." Siris (sigh-ris), the old man with the water kanji, clapped his hands together and rubbed them. "Show us your powers."
"Excuse me, but I'm sorry. The last time I checked, we're normal people." Matt mocked. "Unless you want to see our devil fruits, we don't do anything else-"
"Shigan!"
Matt fell over and Richie blew his finger as if it was a gun,"Satisfied?"
"...yes, but we'll tell you about your new powers-"
"Not to interupt," Sanji interupted (he said he wasn't going to interupt, wtf?) "But what if we already have our own powers, like, I don't know, one of us can beat an enemy into submission with a single move?"
"Beating the enemies we're up against into submission." the hooded man started. "Would not be enough to end everything, you kids need to turn murder into art, let blood be your nakama on the battle field, Gebson, give them a demonstation."
The Earth Guardian placed down his sake and held out his hand, in his palm was sand, he on it like a candel. A flower produced from the sand, Richie snorted,"Anyone can do that, must've been magic."
"I can make life grow, I can make life wither." Gebson explained, he made the flower turn brown in front of their eyes, then he made it blom, wither, bloom, wither, bloom-
"Stop that bloody thing, I catch your drift!" Richie finally said.
"How can you do that?" Chopper asked, he touched the flower with his hoof.
"Aren't you an interesting beast, I am, after all, the Guardian of Earth. The earth does what ever I command."
"So we each have powers like yours?" Matt, who came back to consiousness, asked, they nodded. "Suh-weet, man! Do we fly?" They shook their heads.
"Sekan (seh-kan)."
"Yes?" Horus's father asked.
"Since you are the oldest one among us, how about you explain to the kids about their powers?" Gebson started to get up, along with the rest minus the hooded guy and Shuzan.
"Why must you leave?"
"We all left something in the oven."
"Go ahead."
"We'll talk more in the morning. And Docter Chopper, come with us."
"O...k." Chopper uneasily said as he fallowed them.
In a flash, they were gone, Sanji's robe swayed in the wind that they made while rushing past him,"What was that about?"
"I want to guess that they do not want to explain to you about your powers, perhaps jealousy?" Tsuki guessed while shrugging.
"No, truth is, they don't like newbies." the Guardian of Darkness said. "I don't either, but I'll help." He got up, Luna started to growl again, he turned to her. "Tell me what you smell, it must be clearly pissing you off." The Guardian placed his hand on her cheek, but she slapped him away while Sanji stepped in between them.
"Don't touch her."
"Feh feh feh feh, haven't we all heard that many times?"
"Yeah." Matt and Richie nodded their heads in agreement, then Matt suddenly reacted to the laugh by shooting him several times, smoke started to surround them all. When everything ceared, thguardian still stood there with seven bullets in his palm, he held them up to Matt.
"You seemed to have dropped them."
"Freak of nature, I'll say this," Tsuki commented in the background, Matt reached out for the bullets.
"That is the power we all have, each different to match our needs." Sekan explained as he walked around the room slowly, his eyes carefuly grazing every object. "Luna, you said to my son that you've been having visions lately, correct?"
She nodded.
"What do they show, what happens, are they the future or past?"
Luna covered her eyes in one hand and rubbed the bridge of her nose,"I...don't know."
"Tell me one, your recent one."
"The only thing I see so far was..." she looked around the room until she saw the Guardian crest that hung on the wall bewteen two windows. "That tapistry."
"That's our Coat of Arms." Horus pointed to the oposite wall that had another tapistry. "That's the Royal Family Coat of Arms."
"Are you sure you only see that?" Sekan asked again, she nodded, but the hooded Guardian muttered something. "Speak up."
"She's lying, she knows something we don't, but rejects to tell us."
"Crap-guy." Sanji started as he took a drag from his cig and then exhaling the smoke into the man's face. "Don't try to get her to say aything. Luna's already under enough pressure as it is-"
"Then I'll relieve the pressure-"
"EEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHH??"Matt nearly screamed, Sanji's cig dropped from his mouth, Richie's jaw touched the ground, Pip went "BAAAAAA?!", and Tsuki snikered loudly.
"Not that kind..."
The guys gave a sigh of relief as he held his palm in front of Luna's face, he demanded in a stern voice,"What did you see, girl?" Her eyes started to grow heavy as her knees started to buckle, but she managed to stay standing. "Where's your alter-ego? Why isn't she awake? Who is she? What does she show you?"
"N...nothing...nothing at all...hah..." she gave a small smile, then fell into Sanji's arms asleep.
"What the hell was that? Was it some sort of sex beam or something?" Sanji thought quietly. "Well? She wasn't lying, was she?"
"Her powers are preventing me from doing what I can. I'm telling you, she's the-"
"Hold that denden mushi for a moment. Is it just me, or is it that every time we go into a life and death struggle thing, Luna-chan HAS to be involved in every aspect of that situation?"
Everyone stared at each other before shurgging, Matt merely responded,"Luna is the author, so...she can be anything she wants in her fan fiction."
"Fan fiction?"
"Nevermind..."
Sekan stared out the window before speaking,"It would be wise to do what my son has said earlier, we can't continue to talk if any of you are passed out."
"Yes, father." Horus and Tori bowed their heads a little.
"I'm going to bed, this meeting yet another boring aspect of my life." the hooded man disappeared in black smoke. "Good night."
Chapter 4: Glass Breaker
"That...was the most random meeting I've ever attended." Tsuki commented as everyone started to find a place to sleep.
"Meeting? You call shooting your ally in the face a meeting?" Sanji asked, eyeing Matt.
"Hey, that was politics." Matt held up one finger. "And I had a right to do so."
"Under what right?"
The next thing anyone knew, the two were arguing about human rights in a verbal way instead of the usual guns flailing in the air and legs kicking whatever's there and cloud dusts covering them. Meanwhile, Luna was stuck in her dream land...
(In Luna's Head)
Luna sat on the ground the traditional Japanese way, a table was set in front of her with a map of the entire country of Yumegypt. The throne room was like the palace in Alubarna, peacocks were perched at the throne, the king's face was covered in the shadows. Yume and Akumu stood at both sides of the chair, several guards stood at the side of each wall, the guests from other countries across the the sea sat or stood around the room, they all appeared to be watching a battle between two warriors. They both wore wore long cloaks, one man wore a dark blue robe while the other wore a red one with golden trimings embroidered in the edges.
"Start!"
The blue robed man did the first move, closely fallowed by the red one.
"Rankyanku!"
"Soru!"
"Shigan!"
"Tekkai!"
"Soru!"
"Tekkai Kenpou: Ookami Hajiki!"
The red robed man drilled his two hands into the blue robed man's chest, sending blood everywhere. Some of the people in the crowd gasped in shock as the red robed man sent his oponent flying into the wall. He turned around with his back to him while removing his hood, Luna tried ot get a better view of him while the crowd cheered with the king himself. Yume finally spoke out,"Hold your hands!" Everyone went silent as the two fighters made their way to the font of the throne, they bowed. "My father says...that the ones to protect the country is...the Seven Guardians of Yumegypt! And who would be better to guard my father than the Mercenarries from the Eastern Seas...now...next battle!"
Both men stood up and turned, the blue robed man kept his hood to cover his face, he walked past Luna, whom he exchanged glances with while leaving. She stared at him as the large golden doors closed behind them, a hand taped her shoulder and she looked behind to see a guard, he handed her a note while mumbling"You-"
(Out of Luna's Head)
The train jolted up so suddenly, it sent Luna flying out of her bed and onto the floor. At the same moment, the back door burst open and in came Sanji. All bloody and covered with sweat, he fell into the nearest seat for a smoke, Richie gave a chuckle as he stepped over Luna,"Horus is working too hard on you, mate-" He didn't see Luna, so he stepped on her belly. "Sorry..."
"GOD! My back hurts." Sanji groaned loudly, not wanting anyone to bother him at the moment. "That crap-guardian's a pretty bad bastard."
"You don't have to make a rant right now, Sanji-kun..."
"Luna-chan, you're awake!" Sanji got a major moodswing as he helped her to her feet and into the chair with him. "Thank god, it's been two days-"
"TWO?! That gives me only two days to live!" she pounced out of his lap and bolted to the door that led outside. There, she saw Horus, he held up his hand to silence her.
"I am aware, and right now, we can't get into the Fountain."
"Why?! We NEED to!"
"..." Horus gave a low growl from his throat, he was clearly pissed off about something that she didn't know. "Okey, I will do what I can for you, but you must promise me this, do NOT let ANYTHING destract you. Yume has made the area around the Fountain his stronghold, all his men are there. If we are not careful, we will never get to see the light of day, do you understand?"
"If Yume's there, then Becky-"
"That's exactally WHY I cannot let you go there to fetch your sister!" he started yelling at her. "You are the type of person to do a foolish thing-"
"She's-my-sister!" Luna shouted back at him, she said said every syllable of that sentance at him. "You can't expect me to just stand there and let Yume do whatever God knows to my sister!" (what, he'll rape her or something?)
"..."
"Huh? What? You can't think of anything to say?" she challenged him in a mocking tone as she folded her arms. "What if your kid was kidnaped and you can't do a God damned thing about it because the leader of a huge rebel army wouldn't allow you to do what you need to do?"
"Listen." he gave a sigh before speaking calmly. "If you go there and fetch your little sister, you would not stand a chanse. We have to get you to the Phoenix Tears. Even if you manage to save her, you'll die five days later along with her because you had to flee from the stronghold. It is better to have either one of you alive."
"..."
"There's a small bit of the legend that wasn't discovered by anyone yet. The Path and the Sorceress are related by blood, so if she gets hurt, you get hurt. If you take damage, she will take damage. As long as any of you stay alive, you will both live, but if you die at the same time...everything is lost. Once the manticore poison is out of your blood, both of you stay on this earth, understand?"
"...I'll think about it." she glared at him, there was a long pause before she opened her mouth. When she did, the train violently lerched and sent the two slamming against the hand rail. "What the-?!" Horus flung the door opened and kicked her inside without a second thought, she flew into a table and her head hit the edge. Just she she was losing her vision, she heard Matt's yells and Sanji's legs kicking somebody.
"MATT!" roared Sanji. "GRAB HOLD OF SOMETHING, THE TRAIN'S FLIPPING OVER!"
"LUNA!"
"SHE'S LIGHTER THAN YOU GITS, SHE'LL BE FINE!"
(Anyday)
At one desert sand dune, Yume laughed evily on his horse as he, the pirates, and his minions watched the train sped towards a deep canyon that was suddenly carved into the ground in seconds by Yume himself. "DRA HAHAHAHA! (seriously, that's how he laughs) Let's keep going, to the bottom of the Yumegypt River."
"Aniki, aren't you the cruel one." Akumu smiled as Reese and Becky tried to break away. They suddenly heard the train's engine crash into the the cliff wall on the other side and explode, Becky and Reese paused as Nami covered her eyes. Black smoke rose into the air as they heard yells and screams from the pasengers. "Dra hehehehehe!" (hey, he's the brother)
"The cayon will be filled with water, they'll drown as easy as that..."
"Luna..."
Yume kicked the sides of his horse as he ruffled Becky's hair, she responded by shoving his arm away.
(Anytime)
Thousand Sunny sailed through the river quietly, the ride was so boring, it even put Robin to sleep. She slept in her seat near the wheel, only to be awaken by a large explosion a few feet away. Instantly, she jumped to her feet and ran over to the hand rail to see a train engine burst into flames and fall into the river. "Everyone, hard turn to port! Chehero, put the flames out!"
"Flames, what flames?" Chehero asked while scrambling on deck, she saw the inferno ahead of all of them. "HOLY SHIT! THE POLAR EXPRESS!"
"No, no, there is NO WAY we are sailing into that thing!" Usopp yelled at Robin as he pointed at what's left of the wreckage. "You're being...daft! For the first time ever, you're daft!"
"C'mon, Usopp, we might find something cool for once!" Luffy smiled as he sat on the hand rail. Franky joined the fray.
"Straw Hat, I wouldn't count dead people fun, I mean, look, there's barely anything left-"
"Yo hohohohoho! Think again, if you look there." Brooke pointed on skeletal finger at towards the top of the canyon. As the flames started to die suddenly, they all saw the last train car wedged between the two sides of the canyon. "It seems to be that there is still hope!"
"Hope?!" Zoro eventually woke up, he seemed to have been hearing everything while sleeping. "I bet you all...that the passengers are dead." The Sunny lurched to the left so suddenly, that it sent everyone flying around. "OI, ROBIN!"
"ROBIN, WHAT'RE YOU DOING?!" Franky shouted, they watched as she fought over the wheel with great difficulty. "ROBIN!"
"We're caught in a current!" she yelled back. "She won't steer correctly."
"So? What's it mean?" Luffy asked.
"If we keep going into the current, we'll be sucked into that canyon! THAT'S what it means!" Usopp barked. "Can't you use logic?! Franky, drop the anchor!"
"Right!"
"Make that both of them!" Usopp added. "The Sunny Go's going too fast!"
(Anyday)
"Urgh..."
"Luna..."
"Uh?"
"Luna...don't move..."
She slowly opened her eyes, then her eyesight suddenly saw a horrid sight. Under her, several hundreds of feet below was the water, rocks sat there. Luna's heart rate shot up like hell as she prepared to scream, but then Sanji suddenly yelled,"LUNA, DON'T MOVE! WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T MOVE, DAMNIT!"
"Oh, shit, oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, oh shit." Luna chanted in a whisper. "Get me out of here, I don't wanna die."
It took her a few minutes to realize that the train car they were riding just moment ago, was flipped onto its side and was wedged between two walls. Luna sat on a window, the one window that supported her weight, a passed out Richie, Pip, and Horus sat on another. Luna used one hand to try and get up, but the glass started to crack under the her. Chopper's eye's grew wide as he flinched with every crack.
"Oh god..."
"Listen, Sanji." Matt started to explain his plan. "We both grab her when she falls-"
"And if we miss?"
"She's screwed."
Luna made her movements slowly, but it didn't make the situation better at all.
Crick! Crick!
"Tsuki..." Horus quietly called out to the shinigami. "What do you see?"
"10 seconds over her."
"TEN?!" Matt and Sanji boomed. Luna managed to get on her knees, but the cracks grew bigger at her joints.
Five.
"Before anything happens, I got a thing to say."
Four, glass start falling.
"Please."
Three.
"Someone..."
Two, the cracks turn into holes.
"Catch me when I fall."
One.
The whole window gave way to her weight and th two rivals lunged forward in hopes of saving her. Sanji was the closes, his arm flung out to her cloak, but then slipped. Everyone's eyes grew wide in horror as they watched her fall to her watery grave. Matt, however, got really pissed off as Sanji started grieving.
"AW, FUCK THIS! HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY MISS?!" he jumped off and went through the broken window. "FUCK THIS!"
(Anywhere)
"Guys! Look!" Chehero started yelling, they watched a purple thing fall out of the train. Usopp took out his lennces to get a better look at the falling object.
"Holy shit, it's-" Usopp started, but was cut off when they heard Matt's yell.
"AW, FUCK THIS! HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY MISS?! FUCK THIS!"
"What the hell?!" Franky shouted as they watched a red thing speeding after the purple. The Sunny drifted in th current towards underneath the train that hung overhead. Now with a better look, they were able to the falling UFOs.
"Who ever it is, they must be pissed." Zoro commented as they stared up. Matt started reaching out ot Luna, his arm went around her waist and held her tightly.
"Shit, now what?" Matt thought as they both fell. Matt stared at the cliff wall and gained a idea. He pulled out the Jackal and aimed directly at the wall closest to him, then pulled the trigger. The large kick from his gun sent him and Luna flying into the other side, he kicked out his legs and started jumping from wall to wall down towards the Sunny. "Good, there's something for me to land on."
Matt jumped left right, left right, and eventually landed on th grass. The landing wasn't soft of course considering on how fast he was jumping, his legs buckled and he skidded a bit beore falling head first. He tossed Luna at the nearest person (Usopp) and landed on his back. Usopp himself fell backwards from the sudden toss from the band manager.
"Did I just see what I think I saw?" asked the cyborg. "That was super."
"OMIGOD! LUNA!" Chehero squealed happily to see her twin sister alive, she shoved Usopp to the ground just as he got up to smoth her sister in hugs. "LUNA!"
"Matthew-san." Robin smiled at him after the heroic deed he had just done. "Is there anyone else up there?"
"Only Chopper, Sanji, Richie and Horus."
"Horus?"
"We'll talk later-"
"How about now?"
Horus appeared behind them, a bit of sand dust covered the area before it cleared. He carried a passed out Richie and a traumatized Chopper on his shoulders while Sanji jumped down from out of nowhere with Pip in his arms. The chef placed the goat down as Tsuki flew in. There was a quiet moment before anyone spoke again, the crew was trying to collect everything that had just happened before their eyes. Of course, sooner or later, the captain said bluntly,"I could've just stretched you know."
"Stretch?"
"I'm a rubberman!" Luffy exclaimed as he stretched his gums with his trademark smile. "Hee hee!" (not a girly hee hee, the Japanese hee hee)
"...yes."
"LUNA-CHWAN!" Sanji suddenly hollered out as his girlfriend came around. "I'm so glad that you're alive and well!"
"Oh, I forgot to say, but don't you knoaw that I'M the one who saved her?!" Matt yelled at the love sick chef.
"Eh?"
"What happened to, "Protect her with your damned life!", huh?" Matt ranted on. "You always go on in protecting women-"
"Matthew..."
"Wait, I'm on a roll here...And guess what, you didn't even jump to save-"
"Matt."
"What, Luna?" Matt asked, his rant mood was being killed. Then, before anyone else knew, they watched Luna's closed fist go into Sanji's jaw. Chehero, Chopper, Usopp, Franky, Brooke, and even Robin and Zoro's jaws, dropped to the ground as they watched her fist strike out again. "Holy-"
WHACK!
"URGH!"
Sanji fell over back wards onto the ground, Luna walked over to him and kneeled over. She gave the sarcastic smile, along with the sarcastic tone,"This is what I do to boyfriends who don't save me. So I don't wanna see your face again." She grabbed his tie and pulled his face close to hers. "Got it?" Sanji stared wide eyed as he nodded, she shoved him to the ground before storming off. "I had a groovy time.."
"Ouch...that's gonna leave a mark." Chehero winced as the awestruck Sanji laid on the ground with his tie all messed up.
"Yo hohohohoho! Don't tell me that the most impossible thing has just happened, correct?"
"All's well, it ends well." Luffy smiled, clearly not understanding the whole situation. (idiot) "Okey Sanji, let's eat lunch."
"Luffy, not now." Sanji muttered as he wiped his mouth free from blood with his sleeve. He slowly got up while brushing his sleeves and went over to the kitchen, with Luffy trailing behind. When he opened the door, he swiftly went inside and slammed it hard in Luffy's face. "I SAID NOT NOW, CRAP-KID, SO FUCK OFF!" (dang, Sanji, watch your lanuage)
Yet another wave of silence went through them. Robin decided to break it by calmly asking,"Who are you?"
"Me?" Horus asked. "A simple wanderer who is looking for the Phoenix Fountain, we must find it and get Luna to drink the Tears."
"He...I never felt rejected before..." Luffy started to sob. "He slamed the door in my face..."
"Doesn't he always?" Usopp mumbled. "Guess we won't be eating to night."
"Gah, forget about that piece of shit. He'll get over it." Zoro grunted at he slowly closed his eye. "Wake me up when we get somewhere worth it or something...ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!"
After another ten minutes of standing around, Franky decided it would be best if they started saililng with Horus as their guide. A full hour went by as they went down river. Robin decided to take a bath since she was covered in the ashes from earlier. She opened the doors to see Luna sitting at the edge of the spa, Luna turned to her then went back to staring out th window. "Okami-chan."
"Hey Robin." Luna mumbled, still not taking her eyes off.
"Horus-san told me what happened." Robin said as she took her seat next to Luna. "It seems like band manager-san saved you."
"Not to be rude, Robin, but I really don't wanna talk about this right now."
"Luna-"
She got up and stalked off to the outside, leaving the archaeologist to ponder weather she should approach Luna in a different time and way or never talk to her at all.
The Seven Guardian's names came from Egyptian gods I studied last year. I don't remember it anymore, but they were pretty cool. I'll get the meanings later in the final chapter.
Oh, this chapter is long since it's two chapters in one, cuz I got lazy.
Akumu means "nightmare"
