"Shit! Law we don't have an hour! Get here now!" Nami screamed into the Den Den Mushi as everyone faced off with the beast. It's size was formidable, even when it was on all fours.
"On my way, Nami-ya! Hold it off until I get there! Whatever you do, don't let it taste your blood."
"You got it!" Luffy screamed back and put the receiver back on the snail's shell, disconnecting the call. Zoro drew all three of his swords and tied on his bandanna and settled into his fighting stance. Brook drew out his blade as well. Everyone stood at the ready.
The creature eyed each crew member, judging their strengths, weaknesses, and deciding on its first victim, It laid its golden eyes on Chopper, who had become larger. The sight of predator and prey. Every fiber of Chopper's being, at least the part of him that was a reindeer, was screaming to flee, but he held his ground.
"Listen! You're harming our friend!" The wolf creature turned its attention from Chopper, to Luffy, his eyes equally as determined as the monster before him. It was a battle between Alphas. The large lupine let out a threatening growl, then it spoke.
"This human is my host as pre-destined by the stars! Come the full moon that should be rising in a matter of hours, I'll finally shed this useless meat sack and finally be free to roam this earth!" Everyone stared in amazement at how well the creature could speak.
"So the Great Split will occur tonight then." Robin observed. This earned her a dark chuckle from monster. "What a clever human you are. So you read up the legend that is Magnus Lupus."
"Is that what you call yourself? Magnus Lupus?" Robin narrowed her eyes. The Great Wolf, was his name translated into their language.
Sanji stepped forward, hands deep in his pockets. " I don't give a damn about your legend or what the stars had planned out. Give (f/n) back!"
"You can have her...come time when the full moon is at its peak! I'll be done with the human female then. However, I won't guarantee that she'll have the strength to survive without me." A diabolical grin spread across the maw of Magnus.
"She was such a sickly child. There was no way she would have survived her first few months of life had it not been for my power! I gave this pathetic human life! And in return I used her spirit and life energies to grow and sustain me! But now, energies alone can no longer quench my thirst. Now...I crave blood."
Magnus lunged at Chopper, nasty claws extended and jaw lined with dagger like teeth.
"Veinte Fluer!" Suddenly, many hands sprouted up from the ground and grabbed on to the beast. Holding him in mid flight, only inches away from Chopper's face. "No one's blood will be shed this night, Magnus!"
"You think your petty abilities can stop me? I am more powerful than you could ever imagine!" Proving his point, Magnus emitted an energy so strong, so powerful that it could be compared against Conqueror's Haki. His will power shook Robin down to her core, losing her concentration and thus her attack disappearing in a small shower of cherry blossoms. Unable to stand, Robin fell to her knees, defeated.
"How? How was this monster able to defeat Robin so easily?!" Usopp shouted in utter befuddlement. His fear caught the attention of Magnus, and Usopp was next to fall unconscious.
"How weak, I didn't even use one-eighth of my power."
There was the sound of thunder over head, Magnus looked up to see a small, personal thunder cloud above him, gathering what seemed like floating orbs. Magnus followed the line of orbs back to Nami. He gave a cackle.
"Nice magic trick, human. But your efforts are futile!"
"We shall see! Thunderstorm Tempo!" There was a flash of lightning, a clap of thunder and then the smell of burnt fur. The lightning had hit its mark, and lying there on the charred grass, was (f/n) curled up into a tiny ball. Nami covered her mouth in horror.
"(f/n)-san!" Sanji cried out as he ran towards your still body. He knelt beside you, carefully pulling you into his lap as he cradled you. "(f/n)-san, please say something. Tell me your ok!"
"R-run..." You whispered.
"What?"
"I said run, Sanji!" It was in only in an instant, but that's all it took for Magnus to have Sanji pinned under him, but he wasn't in his wolf form. He had now merged with (f/n), replacing your (e/c) eyes with his golden ones. Your hands had become animal like as well, your nails growing and becoming claws, and then finally, fangs replaced your once brilliant smile.
Magnus had one hand around Sanji's throat and the other raised above his head, getting ready to spear his pray. "Stupid human! Now die!"
He brought down his hand with fierce swiftness and precision, however, this hand stopped only centimeters above the cook's left eye.
"LION'S SONG!"
"Gah!" Magnus cried out, clutching at his right shoulder as blood began to flow.
"Zoro!" Sanji screamed in surprise.
"What the hell do you think you're doing idiot cook?! Pull you're head out of you ass and focus! That's not (f/n)!" He screamed at Sanji, his forehead pulsing with agitation.
"Franky! Restrain Magnus! Chopper! Administer the sedative!" Luffy barked punching Magnus off of Sanji.
"Right!" Both said in unison.
"Strong Right!" Franky cried out as he shot his robotic right hook that looped around Magnus's body preventing him from using his arms.
"Chopper! Now while I have him!"
"Got it!" Chopper charged forward with a syringe in one hand. Wrapping one big hand around the monster's muzzle, clamping it shut, chopper administered the sedative, strong enough to put a giant asleep for several hours.
"There! It should be coursing through the blood stream!" Chopper took the syringe away but still had his hand firmly grasped around Magnus's muzzle as he struggled, but no matter how much he struggled and growled. Chopper would not let go. The beast's vision began to grow fuzzy and dark. Then total blackness, as he collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Looking around, Luffy noticed the full moon start to rise high into the sky. And then a rippling in the sea next to the Thousand Sunny as a yellow submarine emerged from the depths. A tall figure carrying a katana and wearing a spotted hat stepped out and bordered the Sunny Go. He took one look at the sleeping monster, now transforming back into its wolf like form, and then to the moon's position in the sky.
"This is going to be an interesting operation." Law said as he raised his hand above the slumbering beast. "We don't have time to waist, Chopper. Get your kit and prep for surgery, I'll also gather my equipment."
With a quick nod, Chopper trotted off towards his office while Law made his surgical equipment appear on the deck.
"Leave us while the good Dr. Chopper and I operate. If all goes well, your friend will be separated from this beast by the moon's peak and will live."
Everyone nodded and picked up Usopp and Robin and headed to the kitchen, leaving their friend's fate in his and Chopper's hands. Tears formed in the eyes of everyone. But none more than Sanji; he didn't even bother to light his cigarette.
