Chapter 3- Sophie

Activating gear second and hardening his fist, Luffy launched at Akoiji, "Akoiji, Gomu Gomu No Red Hawk"

Turning his head slightly towards the sound, Akoiji created an ice wall and blocked the attack, "Hello Straw hat, I wondered when you would show up here. I mean you no harm. I just want to talk."

"I don't care, Ace is dead and you were one of the main reasons." Luffy cocked his arm. "Gomu Gomu No.."

"I quit because of Akainu and now want to help you." Dropping his guard he turned away. "Come into the bar, I want to talk."

Robin started forward followed by Kain, "Hey guy's where are you going" Brook asked "He is an Ex-Admiral and you remember what happened last time we faced an Admiral."

"Yes, but he has let me live 3 times so far. I owe him a conversation at the least."

"Yeah and in my universe there was heavy speculation that he would help you guys after being told he quit the marines." They continue walking, Luffy stopped them.

"I don't like this, Ace is dead because of the Admiral's."

"No Luffy, Ace is dead because he was a pirate and knew what he was getting into. If you want to blame anyone, blame Akainu, the man who struck the blow, while trying to kill you may I add." I said, speaking up for the first time in the exchange. Starting forward I walk up to Luffy. "Just see what he has to say. worst comes to worst, I can shatter him with my power."

"Luffy, I have more reason to hate him, yet I want to hear him out." Said Robin.

We all walk into the bar and walk up to Akoiji, "We have decided to talk to you, but I'm still ready to smash you."

"Marie, whatever the Straw Hats want to drink.

"Sure thing Kuzan."

"Now I have a lot to talk to you about. First I have some news for you Robin, Saul is alive."

"What? I saw you freeze him solid."

"I used Ice Time, the name should have given it away, it only temporarily froze him until I deemed fit to release him."

"What made you tell us this now, why not tell Robin when you talked to her in Water 7." Replied Kain.

"Umm, I never actually told anyone about that." Robin chided.

"Because I was a marine and Saul was a prisoner. But now I'm a citizen and Saul is up for execution, along with all failed escapee's from Impel Down."

"But the Impel Down breakout was over 2 years ago" Said Luffy,

"Where is the execution happening Akoiji" I asked.

"G-5, the base of the Marines new world operations. Headed by Vice-Admiral Smoker.."

"What, Smoker is in charge of G-5." Spluttered Sanji, finally taking his eyes off of Marie. "What else don't we know."

"Buggy the clown is a Shichibaki and Donflamingo is living at G-5."

"Shishishishishishishishishi, Buggy, but he's useless, he hid during Marineford."

"Yes, well after it was known that he was in Gol D. Roger's crew. enough tenacity to shout at a Yonko and almost everyone at Saboady saw him on the visual den den mushi, making him a public figure. The government chose him for these reasons, even though he is really weak."

"Who else is being executed."

"No-one important, only Saul." Freezing his drink Akoiji paused in thought. "Oh and someone who calls himself Bon Clay."

"Bon chan is alive." Said Luffy, his eyes lighting up. "We have to go now."

"When is the execution." asked Chopper.

"6 months from now." Pulling a map out, Akoiji pointed at several islands, "Here we are on Spike Step Island and G5 is 7 islands over, in between us and G5 is the main islands of Big Mam, Shortcake Island, Tea Party Island, The Country of Victoria, Nanao Swie Island and Whole Cake Island where Big Mam resides, we will have to pass peacefully through because we do not want an Yonko after us."

"Umm about that Mr Akoiji." Kain started, "Luffy has already declared war on her."

"Well that complicates things, but it was not to be unexpected off of him." pointing at Luffy.

"She threatened to destroy Fishman Island over sweets, after we worked so hard to save it"

"So, what is the island after Big Mam's island, you haven't mentioned it yet."

"That is Wano country it is…"

"I know about Wano country, you don't need to explain until we are there, worry about Big Mam for now." Said Zoro

"I still don't trust you Akoiji. We will need more proof than…"

The bar rocked from a large explosion outside.

"Pirates, pirates are attacking." Shouted a bleeding citizen. "They destroyed the factory."

Explosions sounded as the bar rumbled, standing up Akoiji poked his head out of the smashed window. "Its only 'Grey Fist' Stephen he is worth 40,000,000 beli, not even worth the effort." Beginning to sit down another cannonball came through the roof.

As it came into my range I vibrated it so it passed through me and the floor doing no damage. "Well I think we should try out our new powers on him and his crew, don't you think so Kain."

"Yes, let us deal with this guys." Said Kain as we began walking outside. The rest of the crew walked to the door and watched as we began walking towards the pirates charging from the bay." So Sophie, any idea's for attacks yet or are you walking into this blind."

"What do you mean me walking in blind. I have a few idea's but you are the one who is walking in blind, I haven't seen you try anything other than making a pathway."

"I think I'm going to wing it, I have a few idea's."

A series of cannon balls come flying towards us, "Steel Wall." Firing steel out of his arm Kain created a solid wall of steel blocking the cannon balls, "Hammer Time." The wall of steel suddenly changed into a spinning ball, hammers began flying at the pirates, as the ball diminishes in size, the hammers start to hit, knocking down the first group of pirates. "You're up Soph.."

The next group of cannonballs began flying at me, the pirate on the ship shouted "Deal with these whelps, or we will never be able to make a name for ourselves. Fire the cannons again."

"Aye aye sir."

"By changing the amount the molecules inside an object vibrate can change its properties." I said as the cannonballs got closer to me. "So by doing that I can…" putting my arms out I change the vibration speed of the air molecules changing the direction of the cannonballs, directing all 3 to my hand, I slow them down until they stop in my hands. Moving my hands I point them at the next group of pirates. "Rejection." using the vibration of the cells I create momentum in the cannonballs, launching them at the group of pirates taking them out. turning I see the next volley of cannonballs I see no new groups of pirates. "Also, once an element vibrates enough it will break down and turn into a liquid." Putting my hands up I focus on the cannonballs and the cannons on the ship. "Meltdown." in mid air the cannon balls turn to liquid iron and splatter uselessly against the floor.

"Captain. The cannons have been turned to liquid."

"What how is that possible… she must be a devil fruit user. I will deal with both of them." Leaping off the ship he runs at me and throws a punch. I make it pass through my body.

"Hey mate, I don't think that it's very polite to attack an unarmed lady." said Kain putting his hand on Grey Fist's shoulder. "Steel cage." his hand starts turning to liquid steel. It encases him in a square of steel before revealing a cage made entirely of steel. "So guy's where should I put this asshole." He said as he turned around to face the Straw hats and Akoiji.

Getting an evil look on her face Nami grinned. "Trade him back with the crew for all their treasure."

"We do not have any" comes a reply from the cage. "Please don't kill me."

"Not our decision, because I'm going to give you to the villagers see what they do."

Creating chains coming off of the corners of the cage Kain chains down the cage. "So, I think I fancy some Sake. don't you Sophie? Our first pirate battle."

"Yahoo you guys have cool powers." Say Luffy and Chopper in unison, "Make a hammer."

"I can go one further." Said Kain, liquefying his arm he created a sculpture of Chopper and Luffy, they look with awe.

"So Straw hat you have a Logia on your crew now… and an unbountied one at that, strange."

"They aren't even from this world" Replied Luffy without taking his eyes off of the statue.

"What?"

"Technically, we're not from this dimension." I replied.

"Well it explains no bounty but I don't really care otherwise."

"Thanks, I think." Replied Kain, "Now can I have the drink you promised or what." walking into the bar leaving everyone else outside.

"Is he always like that?" Asked Nami.

"Where we come from we are constantly mocked, just because of what we like. I think he is just enjoying the feeling that he is normal."

"Yeah but the attitude."

"That is caused by a need to act cold to people. To not stand out, to keep people away. I'm the only one to have got past it. So I guess old habits die hard."

"Why didn't he just fight back?" Asked Usopp

"Its different in our world, if you did anything illegal it could ruin your whole life, good universities would not accept people with criminal records and punching someone would get you one."

"Why not become a pirate then?" Asked Luffy.

"Our world has weapons you could scarcely imagine, for one a assault rifle can fire at 600 rounds per minute. Our ships make yours look like drift wood, we have flying machines that can blow you out of the water, its an impossibility."

"Why aren't you cold like he is?"

"Boys are a lot more physically cruel to others. The worst that has happened to me was having clothes stolen. The worst that happened to him. Well, there is a list."

"What can be so bad, in a world without powers… or creatures like Arlong."

"Let's just say after one 'prank' he was left with 70% scarring on his body. He does not like to talk about it, so drop it."

"70% scarring. From a prank."

"I won't say, maybe he will someday."

"Now can I have that drink I was promised." I walk into the bar leaving the rest of the crew in silence.
