Chapter Eight: Dorry's Return

Luffy's POV

When I returned to where the others were, I ran to the group in excitement. "That's so cool!" I smiled happily. There was a rainbow behind Brogy. He was crying so much he created a rainbow! It was cool.

"Even the way he cries is big" Vivi spoke. I had my hands over my ears. They can't take much more of this, but I can't just stop him from crying. "It's basically a waterfall" Zoro observed. "I get it master Brogy, I understand how you feel!" Usopp was crying as well.

"Are you okay now Dorry?" I yelled over the crying. It got everyone's attention. "I'm fine… young friend, just need to catch my breath"

"How are you…?" Brogy asked the Giant in shock. "I guess I blacked out" the Giant answered the other.

Sanji's POV

"Mr. 0?"

I glared slightly at the Snail. Vivi said this was the man Baroque Works called boss and Luffy called him Crocodile, one of the seven Warlords. He also told us that if we ever go against him to use water, mentioned that that was the man's only weakness.

"It's been many days since I issued you those orders, Mr. 3. What is taking so long?"

So, this is Mr. 3's Transponder Snail? Looking at the thing I finally noticed the man's codename on the side of it. That makes sense. I think I understand this now though.

This is an enemy base and Mr. 3 was sent here for Vivi's life. This wasn't the time to be hunting! I hope they're all okay. Well, I guess Luffy and Zoro can take care of themselves. I can't picture the young man letting his Crew be harmed either.

"What's with the silent treatment? Have you eliminated Princess Vivi and that blasted Monkey D. Luffy and his Crew?" he seems to really hate Luffy.

"Yes, I got rid of everyone who found out about your secret" I smiled, pretending to be Mr. 3. I have no idea what the man looks, acts, or talks like though so I have no idea if it was believable. I guess I do have to read Luffy's book on Baroque Works. "There's no reason to go after them anymore" I wonder if he'll see through that.

"Well done, the Unluckies are headed your way now. They are going to confirm that you have completed your mission and deliver a package to you"

"Package?" I wondered out loud. 'Unluckies' confused me, but I figured that would tip him off if I didn't know about them. "It's an Eternal Pose that points to Alabasta Kingdom. You, as well as Miss Goldenweek, will come to Alabasta. The time has come"

What time? Does he mean the Civil War that Luffy and Vivi were talking about? "The most important operation we have is about to begin. More details will reach you when you arrive in Alabasta. Await my orders"

Well, it seems I got the Baroque Works' Agents in trouble. Good. I turned to the windows to see the Unluckies, what I think are them anyway. The Vulture turned its Guns to me and the Otter turned its seashell into blades. "What is it?" Crocodile asked.

"Nothing" I answered simply, dodging the bullets the Vulture rapid fired at me. The Vulture stopped but the Otter charged as soon as he did. I dodged the Otter just in time. "Tryin' to kill me, ya damn Otter?! Bring it!"

I spun, kicking the back of his head with great force. He left an imprint of himself and his bumps on the wall when he hit it.

"I told you to stop that!" placing my hand on the ground, grabbing the Vulture's head with my feet when he ruffled his wings. "You oversized chicken!" pushing off I spun to the right. I only cracked his neck with enough force into the kick and spin to knock him unconscious.

Everyone on the Crew has had a lesson in Luffy's Colosseum-thing. Go all out, do not kill. It's easier to kill someone than it is to keep them alive when you go all out. If you can do that though, you're strong and compassionate and, in some cultures, honorable.

"What happened?" I sighed before going over to answer the man. "Just some Little Garden carnivores, nothing to worry about" I lied. "I see, come straight here when you've received the package. That is all" *Dial Tone*

"What were these guys again?" I wondered, walking over to the unconscious bodies. Seeing, what looks like, an Eternal Pose, I remembered what they were called. They're the Unluckies.

I picked the pose up, looking at the inscription. I saw that Alabasta was etched at the top of it. That's where we're going after stopping at Drum Island.

Luffy's POV

"It was most likely because of the weapons" Dorry explained. "Weapons dull after years and years of use" I smiled. "That's right! Weapons can't keep up with Giants fighting to the death for a whole century!" the Sharpshooter realized.

Brogy hugged Dorry tightly, which the latter complained about. "Don't hold on to me so tight, Brogy! I'm still greatly wounded"

"I'm so happy you're alive my friend!" Brogy cried.

I wonder if Nami got to the ship okay. Will Sanji still be there? Or was he too worried about Nami and Vivi to stay at the ship? "What a glorious day! Thank you, God of Elbaf!" Brogy exclaimed.

"Did chopping me down really make you that happy?" Dorry asked. I could tell he was joking though. "That ain't what I'm saying!" the Giant exclaimed, making me smile.

For a few seconds they were playing about. They stood when they challenged each other to another brawl.

Dorry: "You want to go!"

Brogy: "Of course! I am gonna wipe the floor with ya!"

Scene Change: Dorry's Camp

Dorry: "Gegyagyagyagya! We completely forgot about the Bounties we carry!"

Vivi: "I was the reason they came here in the first place"

That's just stupid, Vivi. They don't want anyone knowing what's about to happen so it's not all just her. The fact that Crocodile knows who I am, and knows my reason for going to Alabasta, doesn't help the situation either. He would've attacked us anyway. "None of this is your fault Vivi. I wanted to go up against Crocodile anyway"

"Want a rice cracker?" I asked, holding one out for her. "Where did you get those?" the girl asked.

"My Pouch" I answered, gesturing to it. "No one blames you Vivi" I smiled when I turned to the others. "Let's eat!" I cheered happily. "Yup!" Usopp and Carue agreed.

"Still, waiting a year for the Log to set is serious" Zoro said making me frown. "What are you talking about Zoro? My Log is already set with this Island, we can leave whenever"

"WHAT?!"

Did they forget that I told them that already? Maybe I'm the one who forgot to tell them. Oh well, it's out of the way for sure now. We have to make one more stop before Alabasta though.

Brogy: "You saved us, we would like to thank you somehow"

"Vivi! Bums! Where's Nami?!" Sanji yelled. "Yo Sanji! I sent Nami to the ship, she didn't have time to put on pants because she never intended to leave the ship" I told him easily.

Vivi was with me the whole time, and there are no tears in her clothes, if she wasn't with me she was on the shoulders of Mr. 5. Nami is the only person besides me, who was wearing shorts. I was careful but with how she gets when it comes to 'scary' things, I'm guessing she wasn't.

"Thank goodness Vivi is at least okay! Are you Mr. 3?!" Sanji asked the Giants. "You know Mr. 3?" Vivi asked. Sanji sat down on a log before he answered her.

"I just got done talking to Crocodile so yeah, I know him" he answered, puffing out smoke. That must've been interesting. "I found a weird hideout in the Jungle. He seemed to think I was Mr. 3 so I told him I eliminated everyone. He didn't seem to like you at all Luffy"

"Does that mean he thinks we're dead?" Vivi asked in shock. I would think that's the case, but Crocodile isn't so dead-ended. He must have a plan or something. "I think we should get going now, we have someone to pick up" I smiled, confusing them.

"It's just a small stop Vivi, we'll get there in time, I promise" I told her. "Who are we picking up?" she asked, looking worried. "Just a new crewmember, a useful one to if we all plan to make it to Alabasta"

"So, we don't need this then?" Sanji asked, holding up an Eternal Pose. "We can keep it Sanji. We're going to a Nameless Island, but there are two Islands between Alabasta and Drum. If we want to shave about a week off of the trip, we're going to need it" they were all looking at me funny.

"Shall we go, Luffy?" Vivi asked. I nodded before I hit the bottom of my Staff on the ground. "Ship" I asked, seeing a clear portal with the ship on the other side. I heard Sanji and Zoro mention a hunting contest before we said goodbye to the Giants.

Brogy: "It's too bad you can't stay a bit longer, we won't stop you though"

Dorry: "I hope your homeland is safe"

Vivi: "Thank you, I hope so to" Vivi smiled.

"See ya later, don't die anymore! Stay safe and don't trust the words of strangers" I smiled, as I waved bye to them. We all went through the portal, except Sanji and Zoro since they wanted to bring back their kill.

After a few minutes of walking through the dark tunnel, we came to the end where we could see the Going Merry in the river. I would never be able to find my way back to the ship by myself. I have little to no sense of direction.

Scene Change: Going Merry

"Hello!" Nami waved to us from the ship. We greeted her as well before we got on. When Zoro and Sanji arrived, they immediately started arguing about whose kill was bigger.

"See?! Mine's far bigger than yours is, EroCook!"

"Look closer, Marimo! My lizard is bigger!"

"Are you blind?! My Rhino is way bigger!"

"That's a Triceratops, or a Styracosaurus, not a Rhino. And is this really something to fight about, guys?" I asked confused.

Competition is good between friends and crewmates, but this seems a little more than unhealthy. Don't people who have romantic tension between them fight a lot? Couples and those that like each other seem to fight a lot.

"Cut up what we need so we can set Sail!" Nami told us. I had the Eternal Pose inside my Pouch, so Nami doesn't know about it. The duo was still on the 'challenge' subject, but when Nami yelled at them it broke it up. We lowered the Sail and Zoro hoisted the Anchor.

I made sure that the Log Pose was connected to the ship, therefore the Navigation Table. I went upstairs to see the Map was black and white. It showed all the Islands and the ones that the Pose was locking on to was blinking Crimson red.

"The Giants said that going straight will lead us to the western end of the Island" Vivi told Nami. Since my Log Pose is rooted into the ship, Nami will have to stay with it the whole time.

"At least we have Meat, I'd lose all the time if I was starving" I smiled. I was on the Figurehead, as usual, as we sailed to the western end of the Island. Seeing Brogy and Dorry, I knew what they were doing.

Brogy: "There is a great obstacle ahead"

Dorry: "It has kept many ships from reaching the next Island"

Everyone was shocked and confused by what the Giants were trying to say. "You protected our pride" this is probably what they wanted to do as payment for that.

Brogy: "So no matter what kind of enemy might be out there…"

Dorry: "We will not let them destroy yours, our friends!"

Brogy: "No matter what happens, continue going straight ahead!"

"Of course!" I agreed loudly. I have faith in the Giants of Elbaf. They are strong, stubborn and loyal Warriors. "What do you get?" Usopp asked.

"I would get into position, or hang on" I smiled, flipping backwards off the Figurehead.

Brogy: "We'll meet again…"

Dorry: "Someday without fail, our friends"

I smiled at the rising water ahead of us. "Look!" Nami called before I saw the Island-Eater. "This is why I said to hang on or get into position, this is going to be fun!" I smiled widely.

Everyone screamed as the Island-Eater surfaced. I was more interested in the power that gave Dorry's Sword a Cobalt blue aura and Brogy's Axe a Rose red aura. "Turn the Rudder! Hurry!" Nami yelled at Usopp. He, loyal to the Giants, didn't do what she told him to.

"C-Can't. Straight ahead! R-Right, Luffy?!" he asked in fear/determination. "Of course!" I smiled happily.

"We're going to get eaten Luffy! This is serious!" Nami yelled at me. "This is not like the time we entered Laboon, Luffy!"

"I'll give you the last rice cracker if you trust in the Giants Nami" I said calmly from on top of the Figurehead again. I only got off before because I wanted to get the rest of the rice crackers from the Kitchen.

I threw the last rice cracker to her over my shoulder. I wasn't even looking, but I know she caught it. I looked over my shoulder to see Zoro open the Kitchen door for Carue. The frightened Bird ran right in.

Zoro: "Just give it up Nami"

I smiled at that. At least he knows it's a losing battle. If I'm determined to do something, no one and nothing will stop me, except maybe my idiocy or obliviousness. "I hope we can trust the Giants, Luffy!"

"I wouldn't be saying so if I wasn't sure!" I smiled when I turned my head to look at the blonde. "This is crazy!" well Vivi's in hysterics. "Too late now!" Nami cried when we entered the Island-Eaters mouth.

After a minute or two, Usopp stopped yelling 'straight ahead!', but only because Nami yelled at him. "We're going to be fine everyone, trust me" I told them. Not long after I said that did a bright white, Candy red, and Lapis blue light pierce the Fish. It shocked everyone.

I think it's called 'Hakoku Sovereignty', the strongest Spear in Elbaf. I never thought I would get to see it again though. I smiled at the ocean and sun due to the Spear opening a hole inside the Fish.
