The Song That Bring Us Together Chapter 5, an one piece fanfic

Chapter 5

"This ring is the same," he spoke mystically, "it, too, has a core." Lucy stretched his hand into a dragon claw once again and smashed it on the the arena floor. "Ryuusouken Dragon's…" the man growled and add pressure on the ring, as it cracked, "BREATH!" With that, the ring was crushed into the water and the whole stadium became chaotic.

"Wah! Nii-chan!" Nera yelped and grabbed onto the disguised gladiator around the neck, to stay away from the water.

"Hold tight," the bearded gladiator told the girl and jumped towards the fighting fish with the devil fruit.

The competitors and the commentator started to go crazy, while the two siblings hopped onto the fish.

"You said whoever got their hands on this wins, right?" Lucy stated and ripped opened the small barrel and grinned, "I'll just help myself, thank you very much."

"Victor! We have a victor, even through all this commotion!" Gatz declared, "Somehow, he has managed to over come the chaos and confusion and obtain his prize!" Chaos was still raising, while the bearded gladiator chowed down on the devil fruit. "He is this tournaments biggest dark horse," the commentator hollowed, while the disguised gladiator coughed in disgust after he finished the logia type fruit, "LUCY!"

Lucy grinned and headed off with his new powers, with the Nera clinging onto him. He grabbed Rebecca from the collapsing stage, leaving the green haired pirate and yelping.

"Ah! Great sempai! Please don't simply forget about me!" Bartolomeo cried, as he kicked his legs.

"Hey, little sis," the victor of tournament called the brunette, "mind helping me out taking this get up off?"

The girl grinned and pulled off the Lucy's helmet, sunglasses and beard, revealing a boy with blonde hair and a scare scratched across his left eye. His right arm burst into flames, while boy threw the pinkette on safe grounds.

"Whoa! Hot! Hot! Shit! It actually worked," the blonde gasped in amazement.

"I should be the one saying that!" the brunette whined and squirmed away from the flaming man's arm, "You're made out of fire, nii-chan!"

"Oh, it's actually not hot," he stated in realisation, "I was just imagining it."

"That bastard actually fucking ate it!" Burgus growled on solid ground.

"Wait, could that be?" Diamante gasped next the Blackbeard pirate, "The Revolutionary?"

The blonde leaped up in the air, with the girl holding tight around his neck, while giggling happily. "Hold on tight, Nera," he told the brunette and flipped his body downwards. "Ace I'm borrowing this one from you," he declared, "HIKEN!" A large pillar of fire shot from the boy's fire engulfed fist, crashing onto the floor. Fire exploded from the attack, crashing and burning the target.

The floor crumbled, revealing an underground city-like passage. The competitors free fell one way and landed in the passageway, while the siblings lightly landed on a flat area on the ground. The others grunted in pain and two silicones ran towards the blonde.

Burgus growled and grumbled about his loss, while Diamante flattened himself, like a flag, while muttered in fright.

Suddenly, there was a loud warrior cry, causing the everyone to look at the source of the sound. The brunette pirate eyes cursed and fluttered his body. "Where did they come from?" he gaped, then his expression turned nonchalant again, "Oh, right. They're all the toys from underground."

On the other side of the underground city, Nera hopped off her older brother and straightened her clothes. Bartolomeo wailed, as he ran towards the groups.

"Hey, wait a minute, great sempai!" he cried and flailed his arms, "I could have put up a barrier you know!"

Rebecca scanned her surroundings and took in every detail. "I would have never thought there would be a place like this down here," she stated and then turned to the blonde, "come to think of it, who are you and who was the first Lucy?"

The blonde male was about to answer the pinkette, when suddenly, his hand engulfed into flames again. "Woah! That scared the piss out of me," he gasped, making the brunette giggle, while he tried to turn to hand back to normal, "this this is pretty hard to control."

"Oh, the first Lucy was someone with a 400 million beri bounty," the boy grinned and slipped on a pair of gloves, "someone that one day will be the Pirate King, Straw Hat Luffy." The new mera-mera no mi user took his top hat from a girl with short dirty brown hair. She wore a newsboy cap with goggles, a light shirt with frilly collar, a short skirt, ankle boots and thigh-high stockings. "He's my brother," he stated and put on his hat, while Hack stood behind the boy, "and this my little sister." The brunette got out of her daze of awe - when she saw the fishman - and grinned at the female gladiator. "I'm Sabo and we're the Revolutionaries," the blonde introduced him, the girl and fishman.

Rebecca and Bartolomeo's eyes widened in shock, while Nera slowly moved her hand to touch Hack's fin on his chin. The fishman glared down at the girl, making her quickly retreat her hand to herself.

"Why is the Revolutionary in this country?" the pinkette gapped and averted her attention to the long haired brunette, "Are you one too? Who are you anyway?"

Nera turned to head to the gladiator, with her head tilted to the side. She blinked innocently and stared at the other in confusion. "Oh, no," the girl broke into a wide grin and stood up properly, "I'm Shishinomi L. Nera and I'm going to travel with the next Pirate King."

"Wait, hold on a second," the greenette finally got out of his state of shock and shakily pointed at the girl, "if you're the little sister of great Luffy sempai's older brother, then you're…"

"Yep," the brunette cutely chuckled, "Luffy is my older brother."

Bartolomeo's eyes bulged out and his jaw crashed onto the floor. 'Oh no. What have I done?' he thought in horror, 'All this time, I've been so rude to my sempai's siblings. Luffy sempai will hate me when he finds out I've been so disrespectful to his younger sister!' The green haired pirate started wailing in distress, making everyone to stare at him weirdly. He didn't pay attention to the bystanders and their strange looks. Tears fell out of his eyes and snot dribbled down his nostrils - occasionally chocking on them. He swirled to the, now laughing, girl (Nera thought his antics were hilarious) and fell onto his knees. "I'm so sorry," he wailed and grabbed her hand, then some how stretched his other hand to Sabo's (he was talking to his short brown haired companion) and pulled the revolutionary towards him, "I didn't mean to be so rude! I didn't know you were Luffy sempai's siblings! I love him so much!"

After the last sentence left the greenette's lips, an awkward silence settled through the area the group stood. The blonde had a shocked blank expression on his face, while the brunette blinked with a baffled expression.

"You love Luffy?" the eldest of the two siblings asked in a sate-like manner.

Another awkward silence layer upon the group. The pirate captain blinked vigorously, while his mouth gaped. Suddenly, he shot up with strings of panic explanations. "No! That's not what I mean! I admire him!" he wailed and flailed he arms, "That's what I mean by loving him!"

"Does marimo-chicken want to marry, Luffy-nii?" Nera innocently asked her older brother, making the pirate become even more frantic.

"It's Bartolomeo!" he cried, "And I don't love Luffy sempai in that way!"

The short haired brunette sighed and shut her small book. "Sabo, I'm sorry to break your discussion about your brother's marriage proposal, but I think we should go and actually do some some work," she stated put her boom away.

"Koala is correct," Hack commented, "we have to put an end to this, second-in-command."

The blonde sighed and his cheerful mood dropped to weary and dismay. The younger sibling blinked and stared up at former noble. She slightly pouted, while feeling her older brother's sad mood.

The group had traveled to the trading port of Dressrosa. Nera was holding Sabo's hand, while swinging it happily. They've finally saw a beautiful woman with long raven hair, holding a man, with an abnormally long nose, looking like he was visiting death's door and a bunch of miniature people.

Koala immediately ran to the woman pulled to a bone crushing hug. "Robin-san!" she called he woman in glee. The woman smiled happily and replied to the hug, while greeted the other Revolutionaries.

She let go of the brunette and came back to her badly injured friend. "My friends, were you able to meet up with Luffy?" she asked, with a gentle smile, "This is Usopp, by the way."

The long-nosed man, tried to sit up and introduced himself, but he immediately fell back into Robin's arms and spoke out incoherent words.

Everyone's head had a sweat drop form, while the long haired brunette laughed at the injured silliness and attempt to seem tough.

The raven haired beauty turned to the blonde and was about to say something, when suddenly, a swirl of green hair and girlish squeal.

"Robin-sempai! Let me be your servant!" Bartolomeo cried in delight. Then, suddenly, the green haired pirate crouched down towards the black haired beauty, with his hand on the side of his mouth. "First, I must ask you something," he spoke seriously, "that person's nose, it looks exactly like the nose of the man who shot down the flag of the Tower of Justice, Sogeking."

The archeologist softly chuckled and nodded. "They're the one and the same. His name is Usopp," she replied.

The green haired pirate captain yelped in delight, with eyes shining in excitement. "Oh, my god! There he is, the man, who made the whole world his enemy, just for the sake of his friends!" he screamed in delight, with his back facing his idols, "His heart was shot out by one of his crew!" Bartolomeo sniffled and used his sleeve to wipe his tears. "Along with Robin-sempai, they make up…" the greenette paused, to make a dramatic effect, "… the Enies Lobby Shoot-down Duo!"

"You idiot! What the hell are you getting so worked up over?" the blonde hollowed, while the younger sibling laughed at the greenette's dramatic flare, "Fucking fanboy, shut it!"

Nera laughed louder, at her brother and the greenette, while Hack pondered how such a weird person injured his arm so heavily.

"Sabo, may I ask," Robin turned to the blonde, when the excitement died down, "who is this girl next to you? I've never seen her before."

The blonde turned to the girl, who is still holding his hand, and grinned. "Oh, this," he chuckled and wrapped his arm around the brunette's shoulder, "she's my-"

He abruptly stopped when he saw strings frying to the air and curved towards the ground. This caused everyone to look at his direction, with worry written in their eyes. Sabo's arm fell limp beside Nera's and she unconsciously grabbed his hand for reassurance.

Upon there eyes, there sky was covered with thin strings, which is shaped like a dome. Then a screen came up with Dressrosa's king, Donquixote Doflamingo, on it. He had a creepy grin on his face, but he was anything, but pleased. He let out a chilling chuckled and took hold of a speaker.

"Citizens of Dressrossa," he started, "each and everyone of you, I realised, now, I ought have , from the very start, ruled you lot with an iron fist."

Doflamingo's frowned behind his sunglasses, yet his grin grew wider, while he spoke his speech. As he carried on, it become sinister and darker. He has trapped everyone on those island in a bird cage and he will not free the people on the island, unless they are able to kill him. However, that wasn't the purpose why he created this sinister game. He is using the turmoil amongst his trapped victims to kill off his obstacles, the people who will defeat him. What better way is to turn every single person against them and eliminate those pests.

"This is a game to kill or to be killed. Everyone in this country is a bounty hunter and to survive, you must takes someone's head," the pirate tyrant stated sinisterly.

Author's Note: Chapter 5! And I love Sabo XD

Anyways, to clarify things, yes, I did put Bartolomeo's fanboy-ness before Doflomigo's speech because I think it fits flow of the story. So… yeah!
