Chapter 25:

The Thousand Sunny was continuing its journey south along the coast of Westeros. Nami looked at her map again and she bit her fingernails nervously while she watched from the aft deck in front of the kitchen.

Franky was at the helm and keeping them on a steady course that Nami set them on. The orange haired woman looked around at everyone on the grassy deck and all over the place covering their growing ship. A few members were below deck, but that made sense on a rainy day like this.

"Right when it finally gets warm enough that we aren't worried about snow right?" A man walked out of the kitchen behind Nami and she turned to see Gendry closing the door behind him so the water didn't get inside.

A nice smell wafted out of the kitchen when the door was open and Nami was excited about whatever snack Sanji was making for them. Gendry leaned on the railing next to her and looked down, instantly starting to laugh when he saw Luffy slip on the wet grass while he chased around Bran on his wolf and Arya who was riding her older brother's. "Are they playing tag?" Gendry asked skeptically and Nami sighed, nodding her head.

Arya looked up and saw Gendry chuckling at her and she instantly felt embarrassed getting caught playing such a childish game. When Luffy charged over and tagged Ghost though, the wolf was still playing the game that Bran somehow explained to them and the white wolf chased after Summer with Arya laughing again on its back. Nami started laughing too and she looked up at the rain.

The navigator was wearing a yellow poncho, but everyone else seemed to just be fine with getting soaked as the rain kept pouring down on them. Franky lifted his head up and let water pour into his mouth since he was getting a little thirsty. He looked back down and ahead of the ship where the rain was making it a little difficult to see along with all the rolling fog on the water.

The cyborg looked to his left and could still just barely see the shore that they were staying close to. Nami hadn't told him to change course, so he was still going straight south, but he knew there was a channel they were supposed to reach today that was going to be harder to navigate through.

The navigator was feeling strange and Gendry turned to her, seeing the odd look on her face. "Are you feeling alright?" he asked and she nodded slowly, still looking straight up.

Robin walked out of the kitchen as Nami was going to change the subject and both her and Gendry turned to see a nervous look on Robin's face. That was the first sign that something was wrong, then they heard Usopp shout from up on the crow's nest where he was being lookout in this rain.

"Hey guys!" Usopp shouted and lowered his goggles over his eyes, thinking he spotted something in the distance. "There's something out there, all I see right now is a shadow..." he stopped and stared as the small shadow in the fog became a little darker and bigger, and then two more shadows appeared next to it.

"Nami," Robin spoke in a rushed tone and she sounded serious. "That channel you said we're heading through today, where was it?" Robin was reading up on the history books about Westeros again since it was a rainy day and she hadn't gotten any good reading material lately. She just saw something in there that reminded her of a story she'd heard from her nakama the week before.

The navigator wasted no time asking questions as Usopp started shouting about more shadows appearing in the fog. "It's between the mainland and a small island called Pyke-" the woman saw Gendry freeze up next to her and she realized she definitely did something wrong. "What is it?"

"Pyke belongs to the Iron Islands," the man said and Nami nodded, having seen other islands on the small inaccurate map she was loaned. "That's Greyjoy land!"

"The... Greyjoys?" Nami asked. She looked out over the front of the ship and now they didn't even need goggles to be able to see what was coming. The orange haired woman cursed herself mentally for being too distracted the last few days to do more research before heading further into this dangerous territory. Usopp was shouting loudly now and others were climbing up on the front deck near a shocked Franky, or on the kitchen deck. Either way, they were able to see the dozen shadows making their way through the fog.

Suddenly that number tripled as two more shadows appeared on the back left and right of every single ship they could already see. The shadows lined all the way to the shore and the crew lining the deck started turning their heads the other way out further to the west, dropping their jaws as they watched dozens more shadows start wrapping around them on the starboard side of their ship.

"We have to turn around," Nami said and started yelling at everyone as she ran around the kitchen. "Zoro pull in the ropes! Franky turn sharp to starboard! Sanji..." her words caught in her throat as she got to the stern of the ship and stared back the way they came. There was a line of shadows behind them that merged and connected with the line already fully surrounding their ship on the right side and front.

"It's a fleet of ships!" Usopp shouted, finally able to make out the shapes of the shadows and seeing masts and sails sticking out of a few of the ones closest. There was one shadow larger than the rest and he gulped at the sight of the ship that was at least twice the size of their own. "Nevermind," Usopp called down sheepishly and started climbing down the ropes as fast as he could, "It's a whole damn armada!"

"The Ironborn?!" Jon shouted and looked around. He dropped down to the grassy deck and ran across to look off the front of the ship. He got right up next to his brother's wolf and he turned his head to Bran. "I knew we shouldn't have left Theon in Winterfell. You can never trust a Greyjoy."

"This isn't Theon's doing," Bran said to his brother who was still furious at Theon for betraying Robb years ago. Bran was angry too at first, but then he saw what became of the once proud Theon Greyjoy and that was the moment he decided: Theon had been punished enough. "I didn't see this," he muttered angrily, not having dreams that warned him when they really needed them.

"What are we gonna do Captain?" Sanji asked as he pulled out his pipe. He had to hold a hand over the bowl as he lit it, but his matches were all wet already as the rain continued to pour down on them. The chef couldn't strike the match and he threw the pipe down at the ground in frustration.

The pirate captain looked around at all his nakama. Zoro seemed pretty calm, and Sanji looked more angry than anything. He could see how scared most of the rest of them were surrounded by these odds. It was actually ridiculous the way most of them looked at it. "The entire Iron Fleet for just us?" Gendry said, cracking a small smile as he turned to Arya and she looked back at him nervously. He was trying to make her feel better and he continued, "I don't know whether to feel honored or..." he was going to say scared, but he chose better and turned back to face the fleet of ships getting closer to them.

"You're the captain," Jon said to the man in the straw hat, turning to face Luffy. "But we need to run."

"Pssh," Luffy waved his hand at Jon and grinned. He jumped up on Sunny's figurehead and shouted, "BRING IT ON!" All of a sudden Luffy's foot slipped and he yelped as he slid off the lion's head and dropped into the water.

Everyone stared in utter silence at the man who was supposed to be leading them into this seemingly unwinnable battle. He was splashing his arms up above the water and shouted, "Someone help me! I can't swim!"

"We know," Sanji said in annoyance. He was glad he learned his new move recently and jumped down into the water, then kicked the water beneath him and tried pushing himself back out with Luffy in his arms. The water resistance was tough, and he didn't go as far as he normally did by kicking the air, but he did get out of the surface. This let him kick the air below him and flip with Luffy in his arms back to the deck.

"Please stop doing that," Nami moaned as she looked up at the sky. I won't be very useful here with my Clima-Tact. Changing the weather in this huge storm is going to be tough. Unless I don't need to change it... "You heard the captain," she called out and ran for the mast to get up higher. She started climbing and looked back down, "Get ready for battle."

Usopp groaned and spun to Luffy, pointing out over the water and shouting in panic about the number of enemy ships. "I don't care how many there are," Luffy said while punching his right fist into his open left palm. "We'll kick all their asses."

As the sniper was about to retaliate, the noise started. The boats had it synchronized and they must have all been keeping quiet until exactly this moment. "RAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Half the crew nearly jumped out of their shoes, which would have been really impressive for Bran. Usopp screeched in a girly way that he really wished Nami didn't hear from the crow's nest above him. Every ship in the Ironman's Bay started roaring at the top of their lungs, slamming their weapons against shields and the floor, doing anything to make as much noise and intimidate their enemies as possible.

They succeeded.

Nami froze on the top of the crow's nest and she looked around at the magnitude of the enemies around her. She heard shouting coming from the shore too and looked over to see some smaller longboats getting slid into the water. She didn't know where they were hiding those, but it was obvious they'd been trapped. If everything went sour, we could have escaped to shore. That was our only way out! She was starting to panic now and lost all the confidence she had when she started climbing up here.

"Hey Franky," Zoro started and the robot turned to the swordsman who walked up behind him. "You should go charge one of those cannons, just in case," the man with green hair thought about it as soon as he saw the number of enemy ships and Franky's eyes went wide, realizing how good of an idea it was.

"That's a SUPER idea bro! We'll send them running just by showing off Sunny's true power!" The man started running off, but Zoro stopped him and they made eye contact. Hmm, he's right. We can't rush into this. Franky continued talking seeing what information Zoro was looking for, "We'll only be able to use it once during the same battle, it's cool down time is too long."

"Don't use it, until it's absolutely necessary," the younger pirate said. Zoro understood how serious this situation was, even if his captain just wanted to treat it like any other battle. We really walked right into this huh?

Robin was frowning and cursing herself for not realizing it sooner. I should have known. Franky and Chopper being ambushed was a warning sign, I should have researched it sooner. She knew she was too caught up in feasts and parties, and worrying about her injured comrades, and now they were paying for it.

"Oh God, Oh God," Usopp was running from one side of the grass deck to the other. Both wolves were staring at him and their eyes were darting back and forth as the man ran back and forth between them. They're everywhere! We're totally going to die! It's like the zombies all over again. He stopped running and looked out over the starboard side to where over eighty ships were floating in a line. Most of the ships were different sizes, some small, some huge. It's not like the zombies, he corrected in his head. This time, he grabbed his bow over his shoulder and put it in his shaky hands, I won't run.

Chopper ran over and untied the rope holding up the said, letting it drop and stopping the ship in the water. They were still moving, but dropping anchor was too risky when a Coup De Burst might be necessary to escape. But escape where?! Nami said there's another cape in front of us in the fog, so if we try to use it we could wind up landing on, land! There's only land on our left and we'd have to turn around to go back, and Luffy won't want to go back. The only way to go would be right, but that's where they came from! The little reindeer was panicking like most everyone else, but he was still controlling himself and keeping calm enough to get himself ready for battle. I just hope this new Rumble Ball makes it easier to change during the second three minutes if I need to.

Victarion Greyjoy watched the ship as it became still in the water. "Good," he said and smirked as he listened to the warcries of his brethren. He was wearing full plate armor which was odd for an Ironborn always on the water. He had full faith in the Drowned God though and didn't believe he could possibly drown, so he didn't care about dressing in all this heavy non-buoyant armor.

He was watching from the flagship of the Iron Fleet, the Iron Victory. He'd only lost one battle in his entire life, and it was to Stannis Baratheon, a man he respected very much. This enemy defeated Asha, one of the best strategists and commanders in the Iron Islands. It just goes to show that my Iron Fleet is the best of the best, she needs to learn from my men. I'll send in the others first though... He paused and watched from his huge ship being rowed on either side by his strongest men. The large sail above him was pushed forward and he grinned, having the wind on his side. "Onward to victory!" he yelled.

Asha was watching her uncle's ship as it pulled ahead of the others and she drew her sword, pointing it ahead and roaring as well. Her men yelled and chanted and drew their weapons if they weren't busy sailing and rowing the ship. I'll find you blondie, and I'm going to cut your damn head off.

Sanji was standing on the bow of the ship, right behind the Sunny's smiling face. He looked off and stared at one ship coming straight at them on course for a head on collision. For some strange reason, he knew. He knew who was on that ship, who was coming for him. The man was deep in thought when he was bumped by a man with long black hair running past him.

Jon turned to the chef who was staring out at the enemy and the former brother of the Night's Watch grabbed him by the shoulder. "Do you know what your doing?" He was asking about this whole fighting back instead of running thing in general, but Sanji didn't know what he meant and just kept thinking about that woman he kicked in the hands, the one he hurt.

"No," Sanji said and looked back over the water. "I have no idea what to do," the man's blonde hair was soaked and his hair was covering both eyes now like he had bangs. He couldn't care less about the fashion statement and just kept looking between his strands of hair out at the ship coming towards them.

"Well," Jon said and turned, walking off as he drew Longclaw and held it in his hands, "that's reassuring." He walked down to the deck where everyone was running around and Ghost strutted over to him. "Good boy," Jon pet his direwolf under the chin and then leaned in close, "If any of them get on the ship, protect Arya and Bran." He leaned back from the wolf and looked it in the eye. Somehow, the way Ghost looked back at him, he knew his friend had understood him.

Gendry finished putting on his armor inside the men's quarters and he stood up fully, holding the last piece underneath his right armpit. He wanted to keep off his ox helmet for a few more moments as he took deep breaths, trying to calm himself down. The man started talking to himself, "Laying siege to Winterfell, taking control of the North, oh that's easy, let's go for it they said." He chuckled and ran his free hand that wasn't holding his helmet through his hair. "This, this is crazy though. I tried to count the ships, but I couldn't. And I can count pretty high!" he shouted and slammed his left fist into the wall.

"Hey."

The short haired man froze and slowly lifted his head, looking into the doorway where a short girl was standing. She stared at him with a smile on her face and she continued, "So how high can you count again?" Her sarcastic tone made Gendry smile and then he started cracking up. The fact that she was able to make a joke out of this situation was why he...

Gendry stopped laughing and looked at the soaking wet girl. Both of them had left long trails of water leading into the cabin, though no one cared about that right now. He stopped smiling and looked her straight in the eyes, "Arya, I want you to stay ins-"

"Just stop now, because you know I won't," the girl said without losing her smile. She shook her head at the man in full silver armor who looked so little like the man she was talking to a few minutes ago above deck. He reluctantly closed his mouth and sighed, wishing she was a little less stubborn, but if she was, she wouldn't be the same girl that he...

"We've gotten into sticky situations before," Arya said, trying to keep them optimistic.

"I don't think anything we've been stuck in is quite as bad as this situation right here," Gendry countered. They thought back to being held for torturing by the Mountain, but they'd escaped from there with the Faceless Assassin's help.

Arya then thought to the Brotherhood Without Banners, and she thought about them taking Gendry. Never again, she looked up into Gendry's eyes and could see how much he was worried about her going up there to fight, but she didn't want to lose him as much as he didn't want to lose her. "Gendry I," she paused and the man looked at her funny. She could hear shouting up above deck and it sounded like the enemies were really close now, but neither of them were moving for the door. "I don't want to lose y-" she stopped and cursed under her breath. "Oh fuck it!"

The short girl closed the distance between her and Gendry fast, leaning up on her tiptoes and slamming her mouth against his. He seemed shocked for the first second, and then his eyes closed and he kissed her back. She was glad she grew a few inches in the last couple of months, because she doubted she would have been able to reach up another inch and still feel comfortable. But she did feel comfortable, more than that, she felt amazing. Sparks flew and Gendry wrapped her in his arms as they continued the kiss.

"They're firing on us!" a voice that sounded like Usopp's shouted from up above deck.

Gendry pulled Arya away and the two of them made eye contact. Their smiles vanished fast and Gendry put his right gloved hand on the left side of Arya's face. Even the cold steel felt warm at the moment as they looked into each other's eyes. "Don't you dare die," Arya told her friend and Gendry nodded at her.

"Not a chance," he said and started for the door, needing to get up there to protect Bran as well as the ship which he now considered a new home for him. His mission was originally to protect the cripple boy on his way to Winterfell, but he'd lost sight of it by now. They all treated him like one of the crew, a feeling he never got on Bear Island surrounded by those other "real" knights. He would lay his life down for Lady Lyanna, but now he had other things to protect. He had something, someone, he would slaughter them all to protect. Gendry turned back at the bottom of the stairs, "If I died, then I wouldn't be able to see you anymore."

The man charged up the stairs, putting his helmet on as he did. He charged right out of the cabin and out on the deck where the crew up there looked very tense. Zoro was jumping up and slashing apart large harpoon-like bolts that were being shot at their ship from a distance, but everyone else looked like they were about to lose their shit. They all looked terrified and these odds were a good reason to be, but Gendry didn't care. He'd just had one of the best moments in his life, and he lifted his sword in the air. "Who are we?!"

Nami looked down off the crow's nest at the man in full armor who looked like a bull with the helmet he had on. Gendry lifted his head and shouted it again, louder this time, "WHO ARE WE?!"

"I'm Monkey D. Luffy!" Luffy shouted from atop the kitchen where he was looking around at all the ships and deciding which one to attack first.

"And we're the Straw Hat Pirates," Robin said in a loud enough voice for the others to hear her, but nowhere near the volume of the men's shouts.

"Damn right we are!" Zoro called out and swung his three swords, sending a flying sword attack that not only cut through the incoming harpoon, but kept flying until it hit the mast of the ship that shot the weapon, breaking the base of the mast apart and toppling it.

"We're the Straw Hat Pirates!" Usopp yelled and drew three arrows in his bow, lifting it up and firing at the perfect angle. The three arrows were just far enough apart from each other that the wind took them differently and brought them to the centers of three different ships. Three huge explosions occurred on those boats off the starboard side and everyone was getting pumped up.

The enemies who were shouting at the top of their lungs started to get quieter as four of their ships suddenly stopped moving and a few of them had fires on them even in the pouring rain.

Nami lifted her head to the sky and didn't care about all the rain pouring down on her anymore. She ripped the poncho off of her and threw it up in the air. The teenage pirate with orange hair grabbed her Clima Tact and grabbing one individual piece of it. "Thunder Ball!" she slashed the piece of blue metal in the air and a ball of electricity flew up, causing the sky above them to begin crackling with loud thunder. "We're the Straw Hat Pirates!" she yelled and some of the ships were close enough now that they heard the woman's shout.

The Ironborn warriors were getting more anxious as they watched the sky above the ship they were after. Somehow the clouds were getting larger there, and more static looked like it was sparking all over the sky. Lightning flew down and struck the top of the ship's mast, lighting up the area that was so darkened by the fog and constant downpour of water.

Nami grinned, knowing that the enemies had all watched as she called down lightning to her Clima Tact. Sure, it didn't damage any of her foes, but it served its intimidation purpose and the loud shouting coming from all the boats started quieting down.

"We-We're the Straw Hats!" Chopper yelled, turning from his Brain Point into Heavy and beating his chest with his huge hands. Luffy started doing the same thing and shouting like Usopp and Chopper were.

"Yeah!" Gendry shouted and ran forward, yelling who they were again. "THAT'S RIGHT! WE'RE THE STRAW HAT PIRATES!

Arya watched from behind her friend and she was amazed by how he got all of them riled up so quickly. Franky ran up the stairs behind her and he grabbed her by the shoulder, "Remember that cannon you and Usopp fired back in Hardhome?" The girl nodded quickly and the robot smiled, glad his weapon made such an impression. "Good, it's fully charged and ready to fire. We can only use it once. I'm leaving when to fire up to you, got it?"

Arya nodded at him, accepting the big responsibility. Remember, get as many of them in the sights as possible before shooting. She calmed herself and ran up to the front deck to get in the firing box.

"Thanks," Gendry whispered to Franky as the cyborg walked past him. The little favor the man in the ox helmet asked for was no problem for Franky.

"You got it aniki!" Franky shouted and then pointed his arm over the side of the ship. "I refueled myself when I was down there too, so I'm Super ready to go!" He grabbed his left wrist with his right hand and twisted it, ready to fire.

"MEN!" a voice roared over the sounds of the rain, the storm, the Straw Hats, and all the collective talking on every Ironborn ship. Victarion Greyjoy rose his arms at his side and shouted, "The Drowned God is on our side. We will not lose!" His commanding, confident voice reminded the Ironborn who they were following and Asha was amazed at her uncle's skills. "They think they can defeat the mightiest navy this world has ever known with magic?! We will teach them who we are!"

"WE DO NOT SOW!" the morale that the Straw Hats had demolished in the Ironborn was back, but the Straw Hats morale didn't disappear and they started shouting along with the enemies, their chants getting mixed up with each other as around two hundred ships closed in on the Thousand Sunny.

Luffy stood up on top of the roof of the kitchen and looked around. He saw thousands of enemies around him. Every one of the ships surrounding them probably had fifty to two hundred men on them. There were close to two hundred ships, and he couldn't do the math, but he knew it was a high number. He cracked his knuckles and looked to starboard.

Usopp stood between Jon and Zoro, all three looking off the right side of the ship where five more ships were only a few dozen yards away. They could see their enemies standing on the fronts of their ships, ready to jump off and attack, roaring as loudly as Usopp was screaming back at them.

On the port side, Bran sat on Summer's back and looked towards the shore that was starting to get more visible. The rain was still coming down hard, but the fog was lifting a little and he could see a total of twelve ships coming from the shore to block them in.

Nami looked around from the crow's nest and knew that in one minute, all Hell would be breaking loose in the Bay. I'm a Straw Hat. I took on Enies Lobby. I won't lose. She clenched her Clima Tact tight in her hand and looked off the mast down at Usopp who was shouting insults at their enemies as he drew back his bow to fire at them again. Be careful baka, she thought and held her left hand to her chest, feeling her heart race.

Sanji stood on the bow of the ship with his eyes still pointed at the same ship the whole time. The doctor of the crew was standing right behind him. Chopper saw where the blonde haired man was looking and then the furry reindeer saw some of the people standing on the front of that ship. There was one directly in the center of them that made Chopper's neck hurt where the wound still hadn't healed. He stared straight at the woman who was glaring at Sanji, and he didn't know what to do, but he was worried about the chef.

Arya was as far forward on the ship as she could get, setting up the Gaon Hou inside the Sunny's figurehead and making sure she was ready to fire it when needed. She wanted to be out there fighting wth everyone, but this was just as important if not more.

Gendry was on the back deck behind the kitchen and he stared off at the enemies flanking them. "You won't get past me," he growled at the closest ships as Arya's face appeared in his mind.

Robin was calmly standing on the deck next to Franky and she turned to the other older member of the crew. The man next to her might act the youngest at times, but here they really were the two oldest and most experienced. "Good luck Shipwright-san," the woman said with a smile.

Franky posed with his arms above his head, "YOW! Right back at you Nico Robin!"

A/N Wow, I ended it there... yeah. Haha, sorry about teasing everyone like that, but I didn't actually realize this was where I ended the chapter when I said last time that there would be a battle here. But really, five thousand words of buildup for this battle! You're in for a hell of a fight here, and because I promised a fight, I'll update the next chapter as soon as I get three reviews. Could be in two hours, could be tomorrow night, but anyway I hope you're on the edge of your seats for this upcoming battle... IT'S GONNA BE NUTS! Leave a review below telling me your predictions on the fight, characters you think might kick the bucket, or anything else!

thewhitedragon1993

how about giving Tyrion the giant giant fruit? that lets him increase his size like Makarov from fairy tail?

That's a cool idea! Have him go see Cersei and have her call him an imp like she must have a million times through their lives, and then he gets HUGE! Lol thanks for the review!

Vatsyayana69

now everyone will have powers ,this sucks

Don't know where you got that idea from? Devil Fruits are still going to be rare, so rare in fact that the Greyjoys are risking their entire fleet just for the chance of getting one from this crew who are known to have magic powers. But you know, thanks for your input because saying it sucks really helps out! XD...

raw666

Looks like the Iron Born are sailing to their doom. This will not end well for them as they don't know the destructive power of the Marry Mark II.

Somebody's about to get fucked up, but who, WHO?!

iitrnr

Great chapter. Like the scene with Arya and Zoro.

Thank you. Arya and Gendry finally get emotional, but now... what's gonna happen to them?!

GR

and the story is back, another no girl for for Sanji fic? that is just sad plus his long disapearance in the manga.
Will there be a comedy moment in the story anymore? Considering things has gotten more serious now.

Hey Sanji could still get a girl: Dany, Margeary, Cersei, there's lots of contenders in the OP universe. Plus, if you didn't already see Usopp and Nami coming together for like ten chapters, I don't know what to tell you. There will still be comedy, but this world has been transitioning the Straw Hats towards making darker and darker moves this whole time. I think the cew will still be able to cope with their losses though and not completely change character.

Gammaman

Hey, you wrote a lot in your three reviews so I'm not going to copy and paste, but thank you for taking out so much time to write about the fic. First of all, thank you for your positive remarks... now let's get to the rest XD. Your huge character flaw for Luffy was that he was choosing something that would make him not free, but he's trapped here in Westeros and the king can do whatever he wants. At first he's not really thinking about politics and responsibility and everything, he's still thinking about living life as free as he wants, and if there are no restrictions on the king, then that's what he wants to be. Sure, maybe you think he would have understood the responsibility, but I'm just going to keep saying he was ignorant of the fact. Saying that he was a completely different person because he chose this path that leads a huge adventure where he gets to travel with his crew and fight bad guys doesn't seem OOC at all for him if you ask me. Next, Luffy one hundred percent cares about people dying, as he gets angry in Dressrosa and shouts, "If we leave, what's going to happen to this country?!" showing that he cares what will happen to all those citizens being forced to slaughter each other who were stuck being toys near their family members who had no idea they existed for years. Luffy is not a cold person, and when he sees stuff like this, he does get furious at the people responsible, not just if they're hurting his friends. I do understand the type of hero Luffy is, and though he denies it (for a completely different reason than what you said when talking to Jimbe, he just didn't want to share his meat) he is a hero, but I don't think a single person believes he's , "totally righteous and just hero when he is freedom in purest form" cuz that would be ridiculous and no one thinks that. The thought of causing death shouldn't both them because of what they've been through?! People don't always become monsters when bad things happen to them, and I can't see Chopper or Nami even considering killing someone unless it was the most dire of circumstances. Yeah there are bad things in the OP world, and I agree some of them are worse than some things in GoT, but GoT is a rotten world and every time the Straw Hats have gotten to a place like that, they've defeated bad guys and made it so that in the end, everyone is partying together and celebrating. Hope you don't think I was ignoring your review because I did read it a lot of times, I just have to disagree with many things you've mentioned. Again, thank you for reading and I hope you continue to.

I'm a marine fan, and I want to know if you are adding any marines in your story.

Uhh, probably not. :p

ShadowPillow

I had thought this was a bit of an unconventional crossover, but wow, you pulled it off. Big time. Characterization is beautiful, and it's not simply OP being OP over a lower tier GoT magic. There's still the light-hearted Once Piece moments, but much of the grittiness of GoT. I'm actually a book reader who isn't quite that far yet, so I got plenty of spoilers (although I already knew some of them from hearsay and YouTube) but I think that your story was equally an excellent way to discover these "spoilers."

I feel like Luffy being king can become a huge rallying cry for the common people. Someone without selfish motives, someone powerful, someone who would want to protect them and defend the rights of the people, how the world SHOULD be. Forget houses, forget political alliances – passion can do strange things. And every true revolution starts with the common people ;)

Oh man I'm sorry for the spoilers since that is really something I myself hate so much. Though if you were enjoying the story while you read them, I guess I feel less guilty. Thank you so much and I agree that someone like Luffy would definitely get the common people more on his side than dicks like the Lannisters, Boltons, and such. Anyway, thank you everyone for reviewing. See ya real soon!
